[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirizan:
I was wondering if there is a way to edit all of the contact information similar to what is seen in the Gmail web interface? I have looked around, but haven't found anything. I know what comes standard, but is there an app that will plug into the Gmail interface directly so we can customize the labels of the numbers and address, or modify prefix/suffix information? If there isn't, would this be feasible to program, or is there no way to access the Google contacts in that way? I search the forums, but I didn't see much about contact editing.

Thank you for your help, have a great day

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VibrantStroti:
Hi all,

I have been lurking around the forums for a while and I have gone from being totally oblivious to at least feeling as though I am somewhat android-literate now, although I still have a lot to learn. I finally took the plunge and rooted my phone last week without a hitch by using the guide here. Now I'm ready to tinker.

I'm currently running on the stock Vibrant updates...the last thing I did was the OTA GPS fix that came out maybe a month or two ago (which has worked great for me btw, no more issues with GPS). I'm trying to pick a new ROM, but I'm not familiar enough with them to pick one.

My wishlist:

-I'd like to move up to a 2.2 build

-go to a more vanilla Android (not TouchWiz)

-I'd prefer speed and stability over snazzy theming or custom animations

-I'd love to get rid of the long time to startup, and the annoying sound that goes with startup/shutdown

-At this point I'm not looking to overclock (one step at a time :))

-I do like my Swype keyboard, and would like to keep it

-I plan to start using my phone in place of my iPod, so music friendliness would be a plus.

I'm not sure what other info would help narrow this down, but any suggestions? I'm loving the idea that my awesome phone could be even better.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Sounds like Eugene R2 with Swype added back (it doesn't come with it).

His io kernel helps. You would really benefit from voodoo though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VibrantStroti:
Thanks for the response. I'll give that a try. I may have to read up on voodoo because I have no idea what that is, but I think I'm fairly comfortable with how to put in a new ROM or kernel.

Thanks for your help! Any other suggestions (or just agreement with the first one) would be welcome.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Yeah, curious if others have another suggestion. Nero with voodoo us gold for me.

Here is voodoo:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=870480

Nero has it though, you just need to enable it (he has really good instructions In the nero v3 thread). Always remember to disable before you flash anything else though, or you'll have to use odin to get back to stock (my warning, seriously, worth it though)

Ext4 makes the Vibrant a new phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentFour20:
I would second that opinion on Eugenes GingerBread Clone R2 . Ive been running it and I cant say anything bad about it . IO kernel has great battery life as for swype I just pulled it from NeroV3 . If you want you can go to Q&A section and I have directions and the files need to get swype running . The title is "WHERE DO I GET SWYPE FOR EUGENES GINGERBREAD CLONE?" .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VibrantStroti:
I really appreciate the help guys. I'm going to give the GingerBread Clone a run here in the next hour or so and see how it goes.

Any last advice for a first time ROM-flasher?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentFour20:
Make sure you are not hardware locked before you do anything .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VibrantStroti:
I just wanted to thank everybody again. I kind of fell off using forums for a while, but I thought it was worth coming back to give an update. I flashed the Gingerbread Clone ROM that night and have been using it since.

I love it! My battery lasts between 30-35 hours per charge most of the time as long as I'm not gaming on it. There was a little bit of an adjustment period for a couple things, but I'm definitely happy with it. No pulldown settings toggles was a change, and the non-Swype keyboard was too. I'd say I actually prefer the new keyboard because of the good autocomplete options within just a couple letters, and I never went back to Swype.

I don't know if I could even quantify all of the little differences, but overall it seems to be snappier with better battery life. Can't complain about that! Thanks to everybody who offered suggestions.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VibrantStroti:
I said 30-35 hours, but I just looked at my phone and saw I'm currently at 2 days and 6.5 hours since my last charge. Haven't used my phone a ton the last couple days, so that gives an idea of how intense the battery life has been. I'm at 54 hours and I still have another couple left if the battery indicator is to be believed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Addictedtothegreenguy:
No matter what Rom I've flashed the problem still persists, when I connect to WiFi its fine the connection works but when I turn WiFi on it takes 4ever and a year to get mobile data connected. I've never had this problem before with and radio update or anything then other times 3g will just plain old not work any help is much appreciated.

[EVO 4G General] tangstang:
lol, apple has two of the top ten fails and they're one of the most respected tech companies, if it were top 11 maybe the ipad sans camera would be on there.

The only reason the nexus one is on there is how they marketed it, suppose you can also thank AT&T for later selling it without subsidizing it (589.99 for a phone?). I had forgotten about the whole Kin thing honestly. Also the 3D's tv as a failure.... not surprising, way too expensive for what you're getting.
[EVO 4G General] carlos33018:
IMHO the iphone 4 is an awesome device, for many reasons. I personally had an iphone 4 but ATT drove me to the wall and jumped ship. Currently I have an Evo 4g and it is also a great device, both having its strengths and weaknesses. **Flame Suit On**
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Can't disagree with this list.

Although between Apple's ability to put a spin on things and their customer base being blind to anything negative when it comes to apple "Antennagate" wasn't as big of a deal as it should have been.
[EVO 4G General] Mactagonist:
We all should dream of one day "failing" as badly as the iPhone 4 did. :rolleyes:

What a nonsense post. iPhone is one of the most incredible success stories in modern history. The fact that most of us choose to use an Android device right now doesnt mean we have to go around spewing sour grapes. What Apple has done with iOS is just as amazing as what Google has done with Android. Both OSs can learn from each other and prosper side by side.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
apple fans are like mindless drones. steve jobs basically dictates to them what they can and cannot do with the iphone and apple products. it's pretty much the same with wp7 atm.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Here's the thing, the article is not thinking as if it was an Apple lover.

It's being non-bias.

What happened with the iPhone 4 is ridiculous.

If any other manufacturer would have slipped up like that they would likely be removed from the world.

But because Apple has the ability to put a spin on things and because Apple owners tend to be...well... they'll buy into whatever Apple says...so drones...it wasn't as big of a disaster as it WOULD HAVE BEEN [and should have been] if it wasn't Apple.
[EVO 4G General] Mactagonist:
So? Because Apple has been successful enough at building their brand that a minor issue which effected way under 1% of users (.55% of iPhone 4 users complained about it, 1.7% of iPhone 4s were returned for any reason) failed to significantly damage their sales what? It isnt fair? :confused: Please. Apple hasnt always been the darling of the tech world. They fought, innovated and built their way to where they are now after hitting a low point that could easily have finished them.

"antennagate" was a tempest in teapot built up to drive blog traffic. It just isnt an issue in the real world for the average user, as sales numbers prove.

Google could learn a lot from Apple, they have suffered unfairly in the past because they bungled their handling of PR problems and completely failed to sell users on their new products initiatives. Think Apple would whiff the launch of something like Google TV or Buzz?

Just to say it again, we can be Android fans and choose to use Android devices without being haters. Apple is a great company that does a lot of things very well. The fact that I prefer the phones from another company right now doesnt change that.
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
You're kinda not looking at this whole "antennagate" the right way. If I can remember correctly, it messed with the signal when gripped a certain way in the person's left hand. Now having said that, the stats you posted are true, but let's look at the big picture here...left hand. If that were reversed and it messed up when gripped with the right hand, story would've been different; which is why it all blew up. Not that many complaints came from it as expected because not that many people are left handed, but the fact that the problem could be demonstrated on tons of devices is the bad part, and thats why they are saying it was a failure. Now looking at iPhones as a whole, no, it's not a failure. But that article isn't looking at the past, it's looking at the device Apple is pushing right now. And if they were looking into the past, then the iPhone 4 would really look like a failure since the other iPhone's didn't have that problem. It's easy for some people to overlook that problem because now everyone basically just texts and emails or uses bluetooth for calling..but still, since that problem was there in the first place, that's kinda sad. A phone should be able to make a call without dropping it.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Your assumption that because I like Android I hate Apple is silly.

I have hated Apple before I ever owned an Evo/Android phone.

I don't like Apple for these reasons listed here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10148741&postcount=30

As you can see NONE of that has ANYTHING to do with Android.

I also take great exception to you suggesting that apple is a "great company"

I have never owned an Apple product and I'm proud to say I never will.

ms79723 post above me covers the rest of your post.
[EVO 4G General] Dangar05:
My hatred of Apple has NOTHING to do with my owning an Android. I have an Android becuase I hate Apple. I use to have a Motorola Brick phone too. I don't hate bricks now.

I think they have done some very shady things and that is why I don't like them. They are what MS was to me several years ago.

Start a thread bashing Apple = JOY.

[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
I don't hate Apple, in fact I think their user interface was revolutionary at the time.

My problem is that many people act like the iPhone is the genesis of smartphones. The reality is that Windows Mobile still had more features when the iPhone was first released (cough...multitasking and a huge software base). Unfortunately windows mobile was just plagued with a crappy interface.

I recently rooted my EVO 4G and downloaded the wifi tethering app. So, a couple questions. 1. Is this an ad hoc network? 2. I dont think ps3 supports ad hoc networks, so is there a way to connect my laptop to my phone and have the laptop act as the AP (non ad hoc).
[Networking] Cainerguy:
Nevermind, figured it out. I guess the android wireless tether app is not ad hoc. As my ps3 was able to connect. Worked extremely good by the way.

How did you do it? I need to test it with my G2 but with my slide the ps3 didn't even see the signal from my phone - or if it did, it didn't up on the connection list after scanning.

Is there a led that a dev can eventually get to work as a notification led? Or is there simply no led built into the phone that will work.

There's literally nothing to be developed, mate. There is physically no LED light in this phone unless you wanted to open her up and install one yourself.
