You don't need ADB, you can do most of it through a terminal emulator app. First enable WiFi and find out the WiFi IP address. Follow all the guide steps until you get to the part about finally seeing "root@localhost:/#"

Then issue the commands:

apt-get update
apt-get install openssh-server nano
service ssh start
passwd root

After that last command you'll be asked to set a password for the root account, do something simple to type on the android keyboard, like 'qwerty'.

Now go to a computer and SSH into your phone via PuTTY or whatever your favorite SSH client app is. Now it will be WAY easier to install things via apt, get the GUI running from the howto guide, etc etc. Also then you'll have a real file editor (nano) to work inside of, so you can edit the config files (such as 'bashrc' without having to do very complicated cat commands. This is how I performed my setup and it worked flawlessly. Note that if you set it up to create a VNC session for you automatically in the bashrc, you'll really feel the slowdown. In my tweaked version (which, like I said, I'll release on here soon), I have created a simple prompt on login that asks if you want to create a VNC session or not. That way if you are just there for command-line you don't have to eat the phone's RAM away.
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidzach:
What exactly did you do to get your tweaked version? Just wondering as I might give this a try
[Samsung Mesmerize] msullivan:
I didn't 'get' it, I just added some stuff like auto-starting SSH and a prompt asking whether or not you want a VNC service started. If you or others are still interested I can probably get it posted.
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidzach:
Yeah that's what I meant. Ill see if I get around to getting ubuntu running and play with it then maybe I'll ask you what you did if I'm gonna actually use it. Thanks
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Ghost430:
I'm using lockbot pro to change the mytouch standard lock screen to the froyo style lock screen. The problem is that I still have to unlock the standard screen and then it gives me the froyo to unlock. How do I disable the standard screen so I only get the one I want?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Scoop24:
Theres a app in market called No Lock
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
Use WidgetLocker Lockscreen. It is the best 2 bucks I have spent in a long time!! I am rooted but you dont have to be to use it. It does help though. My avatar pic is my lockscreen. I run it with no slider and a time delay on a button unlock it. It has lots of options for several types of lockscreens and other stuff also.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] aznpr1de808:
If u want the stock froyo lockscreen just go into system/ apply then delete the htclocksreen.apk and it will restore the froyo lockscreen you don't need nolock or anything else
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Ghost430:
Yeah but when I do use that I still have the double lock screen. I'm gonna try and use the no lock app
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Ghost430:
No luck with lockscreen widget. I keep getting the same issue.

You sure you don't need to be rooted? I don't wanna mess the phone up or anything.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] neidlinger:
You need to be rooted and s=off to edit/delete/add anything to the system file. If you are temp rooted and/or s=on you cannot use just the AOSP lockscreen.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] abez:
I use the app: lock suppresor with the lockbot pro app.

works for me
[Epic 4G General] cellington77:
I installed rom manager from the market and when I selected download rom it says I need clockworkmod recovery which I already have installed. Will I have flash it through rom manager?
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
You can't use rom manager on the stock kernel. You have too boot into clockwork mod by turning the phone off and holding down power, camera and volume down all at the same time. If you change your kernel you can use rom manager.
[Epic 4G General] cellington77:
Ok thanks.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I had the same question, but if you just go to flash recovery, it'll reflash cwm and it'll work like regular ol' rom manager. Real easy. I didn't think it would've worked cuz I already had cwm but it does
[Epic 4G General] orateam:
i have rom manager premium i bought and when i go to the ROM list via the DOWNLOAD ROM, there are no files. Just "COOL STUFF".

Are there any roms to download with this tool?
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Yeah me too I uninstalled.. pos

Epic 4g Quantum Rom Ext 4
[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
Its because none of the devs use rom manager as of yet but I'm sure now that we are up to date with cwm that some might start to use it.
[Epic 4G General] sLiKK:
I have the same problem? How do I install the rom directly to my phone via Rom Manager premium?
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
You can't right now cause the developers aren't using rom manager. It might change in the future who knows.

We both have different Basebands, PRI and PRLs. His holds 4g, mine wont. Anyway to downgrade etc?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixjn:
I dont think that downgrading will solve your issue with 4G but it is possible by flashing one of the radios here. Keep in mind that flashing a radio is a very delicate operation as if it fails your phone will be bricked.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mroneeyedboh:
yeah I dont want to mess with the radios. I see that my 4g strength is fair. and reading around about the 4g signal, it seems that its pretty weak. So maybe my phone cannot accept the signal well? Sucks...

This is FAR fetched but I have one of those TPU cases on my phone. Would that hinder the signal? Just wondering because like Ive said 1000 times, my dads phone is here and sits on 4g all day.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mroneeyedboh:
Now that I think about it. I can take my phone back with no problem since im under the 30 days, Maybe I should flash a new radio, but how can I flash a new PRI?

I updated my RAdio and my WiMAX the same as his. Sure its taboo but I can take this piece back if it fails. I did a nand in Amon 1.8 too.

well both the Radio and WiMAX didnt help as expected, wonder whats up.. All my RSAs and MACs match up and everything is good. I just dont hold a signal like my dads phone does. The 4g sucks with my phone. I'll see how it is driving around tomorrow. Kinda wanted to rock 4g at home tho..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
Downgrade? your radio's and PRI are older than his you need to update just don't do the newest ones yet
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mroneeyedboh:
How can I get that PRI version? Like I said above I did both the WiMAX and Radio and nothing helped. I did profile and PRL updates and restarted and still hasnt popped on yet. Like I said, I knowit works its just not that great here in the house.

Updated the radio to 2.15.00.09.01

NV to 1.71.003

PRI to 1.77_003

WiMAX to 26023

rebooting after profile and prl update... We'll see if it helps.

Once again checked my RSAs and MACs and they are all good. So I still have 4G, just still not getting anything here at home.. I ran wimax_mtd, ls /data/misc/wimax/ and cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 | grep RSA
[EVO 4G General] Addictedtothegreenguy:
Im about to take the plunge and flash cm6, does anyone have any advice or suggestions for cm 6.1.1
[EVO 4G General] fmedina2:
Just make sure you wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik cache) twice before flashing. And remember to flash gapps afterwards. You'll enjoy the speed and change of pace in Cyanogen. But I found it to be a little dull especially coming from Myn's. I went back to Myn after running Cyanogen for a while. CM just looked like every other Android phone out there.
[EVO 4G General] DarkManX4lf:
I am almost sure that wiping everything twice is just as effective as wiping once....

The two downsides on Cyanogen is the lack of 4G support and the really nice copy and paste from sense.
[EVO 4G General] Addictedtothegreenguy:
Yea that's what I'm afraid of happening but I see a lot of people with cm6 and it just looks cool because of stuff they did with it.
[EVO 4G General] Addictedtothegreenguy:
Don't really use 4g that much unless I'm on the move and don't have access to my WiFi
[EVO 4G General] magicriggs:
Yea heres a tip buy launcher pro plus with cyanogen.
[EVO 4G General] Addictedtothegreenguy:
Already have lpp Thx tho but why is it so great on cyanogen
[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
because CM is pretty lackluster without it (when you're used to a Sense based rom with eye candy). Some people like the barebones feel of CM I guess. My service is with Cricket so I don't even have 4G with my Evo, so that's not a concern of mine with running CM. I don't have a tiny hdmi cable either so no HDMI out in CM doesn't bother me either. CM has better a better bluetooth stack than Sense roms and allows you to use BT controllers like a wiimote (but gaming on your phone is lame when you have a much better PSP and computers and consoles haha). Even with those 3 things all going for me with CM I still ended up using (and making) a Sense rom. It just LOOKS a lot better.

Damn, I just realized I don't even use Sense, I have it disabled and use LP (non pro lol). I'll probably end up with a 2.3 AOSP rom eventually. GB sure looks (visually) much better than previous stock android versions.
[EVO 4G General] toprock23:
I recently just rooted. I deleted ADW and installed Launche Pro Plus. It's a terrific combo. Another vote for that set up.
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
flash zendroid and enjoy amazing performance with 844 Max on setcpu . Plus great battery life. Amazingness make you not wanna go back to sense ever ever again

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
[EVO 4G General] live2ride96:
CM is lackluster without LP? Seriously? Unless they've changed it since I last used it (granted, it has been a while), CM was using ADW as the default launcher, which is pretty much as full featured as LP.

I have some noob questions im hoping someone wouldnt mind helping me out with. Right now im running HW 0004 rooted on Manilla carbon fiber rom 3.30.651.3. Hboot 2.02 My questions are is there a reason I should flash to the newest radios and wimax? Will or can i break anything in the process? Is there a particular reason I should update to the new 3.70? I really appreciate any help with these questions. thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
In general with radios/wimax if it's not broke don't touch it. In any case use RA 1.8.0 to make a nandroid BEFORE. This will save your RSA keys.

Im running RA 1.8 already and have a good nandroid backed up and I saved a file on my SD card with the keys just in case. But i tried reading through the thread for updating the wimax and radios but it seems everybodys phone is acting different with it. Im not sure if i should just flash the wimax. Thats why i was curious what the benefits are of upgrading. Also, will I need the new radios and PRi to run a 3.70 rom?

So, I'm kind of new to the whole tablet game. I just a Viewsonic Gtab for Christmas and I'm running TnT 2.0.0. I couldn't get clockwork mod on yet, because I didn't have a device to see the micro sd card. Anyway, since I don't have access to wifi, I went to the launcherpro website and downloaded it. My question is, what do I do with the zip file. I checked the contents and there were no .apks in it. So my question is, how do I install launcher pro?

Off topic: Is there a way to install clockwork mod with the internal memory?

[Streak 5 General] stang393:
Problem 1: (trying to get fastboot to work)

I downloaded the latest SDk and used the drivers in there. When I goto "update" my Android ADB driver and point it to the the google usb driver, it tell me to go jump off a bridge.. Though I fail to see how that will make my driver install :confused:

Anyway that's where i'm stuck, i've tried replacing the .sys files and blew up my XP blue screen at boot which was awsome..

I'm trialing a Streak to replace my iPhone4, This seamed to be the only phone so far that really WOWed me, that was until I used it, with 1.6 it's no iPhone killer..

I am also a previous HTC Advantage user, so i like big phones...

Any Ideas? Maybe i need the old 1.6 SDK Drivers?

This is all to get FastBoot to work, so i can start installing roms.

Problem 2:

Is there anything that I need to be careful of having an ATT phone over an 02?
[Streak 5 General] subvecto:
try dell's drivers.
[Streak 5 General] mellojoe:
I found that using XP I had to install the drivers multiple times for it to register the Android 1.0 or whatever.

I simply used the QDL Tool on my locked-to-contract AT&T Streak 1.6. Like I said, I had to install the ADB drivers multiple times (I think that is their name) for it to finally go through. And then on the 4th time or so, it all went smoothly and I'm now running the "official" 2.2

I did nothing special. Just ran the Tool, installed the drivers, if it failed, I installed the drivers again, and ran the Tool again. I think maybe 4th time of installing drivers was the trick. I don't know what I did differently on the last time, but it worked just fine.
[Streak 5 General] stang393:
Tried that as well, no dice...
[Streak 5 General] subvecto:
That is strange... I was able to get dell recognized by win7 only via drivers that was installed via dell PC sync software...

In trying to set up controls for a game, I found a very unhappy button combination. If the camera button is fully depressed while holding the left key on the hardware keyboard, the screen will lock and usually freeze the phone. Another user who tried to replicate this for me got an unresponsive camera app that required a reboot.

What are other users' mileage here? Anybody have any ideas on a workaround, or is this probably just a hardware quirk?
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
i tried every diff combination of left and the camera button, and did not have the same experience. i do know that if your in the camera app, and press power, it does lock the phone, but i think it is supposed to. pressing the power button a second time unfreezes it. imma do more research. i read something about this once on ppcg.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
i found this.may or may not be the same thing for your friends.

"hey folks For those of you experiencing a lock-up while in camera mode, I thought it happened to me the other day as well, turns out its not a bug its user error. If you try to turn off the screen while in camera/video mode by hitting the screen lock button you are locking the camera mode, which mean you are making it so that the phone does not accept any inputs aside from unlocking by hitting the power/ screen unlock button again. This "lock mode" is indicated by lock icon appearing in the top corner of the screen. The reason for this screen unlock button again. This "lock mode" is indicated by lock icon appearing in the top corner of the screen. The reason for this mode is actually good, if you are filming something important you don't a finger slip hitting the back/home buttons and ruining your video, so you can lock it and not worry about it. Of course this means if you don't know about the feature and you activate it, instant freak out. But, now you know mode is actually good, if you are filming something important you don't a finger slip hitting the back/home buttons and ruining your mode is actually good, if you are filming something important you don't a finger slip hitting the back/home buttons and ruining your video, so you can lock it and not worry about it.

[Epic 4G General] Sigismond0:
That may have something to do with it, but is not the problem I am having. When I am somewhere outside of the camera app (homescreen or game, for example) if I hold the left arrow key and fully depress the camera button, the screen will turn off and make the lock sound. Usually I can unlock it with the power button or this combinaton again, but it will occasionally freeze and refuse to accept input from the touchscreen or capacitive buttons.

(If it's at all helpful, I was trying to set up the camera button as the R shoulder button in SNESdroid.)

It could be that the phone is getting confused and thinks I'm trying to lock the camera app, but since I'm not in the app it locks the entire phone.

Have this on my nexus s and its kinda cool. Was wondering if anyone has it on their tab. If so, what rom are u running
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LevitateJay:
I've noticed from when I first brought my Galaxy S (around 6 or more months ago) that when doing CPU intensive things like games or even just web browsing the phone would get quite warm. Especially gaming the phone would even get hot to hold. My friend who has the same as me except a 16gig model had no such problems his phone would stay cool. Also while charging the phone gets really warm, esp if you use it while charging. Now I've never done much gaming on the phone so it hasn't really worried me however I have been worried about the lifespan of my phone as I know if its hot in my hand the CPU inside must be BURNING. My phone is not overclocked and never has been.

I just brought Dungeon Defenders for my phone (great looking game) and after about 15 minutes of playing it I notice the back of my phone and especially the screen is really REALLY hot. Shortly after this the game went stupidly laggy and when I pressed the home key everything went black and eventually the text "Safe Mode" appeared in the bottom left corner. I believe my phone is overheating and that this is a faulty device and I am still under a 1 year warranty so I think I'll return it for another one however I'm currently running a custom firmware Doc 6.2 JPY and CWM recovery. If I end up sending it into Samsung I want to have the phone looking very stock so they don't try and conclude it was me fiddling with it that causes this.

My questions are:

If I should return it what must I do to get it back to stock firmware and recovery that would be expected of my phone?

If anyone else experiences this and it's actually not a big deal?

If there is something I'm doing wrong that is causing this to happen that I can stop?

Any other suggestions or help?

Thanks for taking the time to read this :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kekiko:
It is normal for the phone to get heat up over time when you are doing intensive background task or services in the background. In your case it might due to services running in the background or if you are not sure, run the fast reboot app and try to launch the game and see whether the same issue occur.

Hope to be of help :)
