YOU NEED TO FACTORY RESET PHONE FIRST, AND INSTALL AND RUN TEMP ROOT ON FIRST BOOT AFTER ONLY. this is proven now i think. i'd reccomend rooting fully for sure. very helpful.
[EVO 4G General] postwick:
I was told in another thread that I can root using z4root without doing a factory reset first. in fact, if I cannot...there is no point to rooting. the whole idea for me is to be able to back everything up so I don't have to reinstall manually if I have to do a factory reset to return the phone (USB port is slowly breaking).

is there any way to find out what about my Evo is stopping z4root from working? could it be a specific app I've installed, a configuration change?
[EVO 4G General] Hulkanator:
Factory reset is the only way it will work with ota 3.70 update. Sucks but, you can back up after that .
[EVO 4G General] postwick:
Is there another simple way to root (even temporarily like z4root) without having to do a factory reset first? The reset defeats the purpose of why I want to root in the first place.
[EVO 4G General] Hulkanator:
With the new update u can not z4root with out doing a factory reset.I have looked and u can't do it.I gave up after 2 days of reading. So be over it and do it.
[EVO 4G General] postwick:
Again, there's no point. I want to root so I can back up all my apps, data, settings, etc.

There are other ways to root, I'm hoping one of them will also be somewhat simple (I'm not an expert at these things) and will allow me to do it without having to do a factory reset first.
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
try unrevoked. by the way it really isnt that devastating to wipe. you think it will be but then its not. just back up ur apks using astro or similar, and then you will need to put your data back later.

but unrevoked requires no wiping. that could be your thing. www.unrevoked.com
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
You can try using this, it will give adb and terminal shells root but you will have to install su and superuser.apk by hand.

It will blur the screen while working and then close without saying anything, only run it one time. If you want to try again reboot before using it again.

Unlock?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
You can't.

The Vibrant has a GSM cellular modem. MetroPCS is CDMA.

It's impossible to work. You might be able to get a Fascinate working on Metro, though... but why? Metro blows horribly and T-Mobile is barely more expensive for vastly better service and coverage. I pay $65 a month for unlimited everything except calling (500 anytime minutes).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLiKK:
Does metro pcs has 3g?

Op: have u looked into simple mobile. They are cheaper than metro pcs. And u will be able to use ur unlocked phone on their network.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
MetroPCS has been claiming for a while now that they have 4G LTE. They even have 4G LTE phone.

Is it their own network, or are they using Verizon?

BTW check out Simple Mobile, supposedly they use T-Mobiles network, but not too sure if this is true.

Edit:

Wow it appears the 4G LTE network is their own, they even released 4G phones before Verizon. Their 4G map is not too shabby, I guess MetroPCS is slowly becoming a serious player.

ps...I know people who have MetroPC, and they have less dead areas than I do on T-Mobile.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oskiee:
Thank you gents. Ill check out simple mobile, though ive never heard of them.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
Metro's LTE is almost fradulent. They have one phone capable of using the LTE network and it's a crappy Samsung featurephone (basically a Gravity T with an LTE modem and a slightly refreshed UI).

The speeds I saw while playing with the demo in the MetroPCS store were barely better than regular old HSDPA on my Vibrant. Definitely not better than HSPA+ on my friend's G2.

If you want real LTE, Verizon's going to likely be the only game in town until AT&T and T-Mobile get their act together, or Sprint tells Clearwire to jump off a bridge. And Verizon's first LTE phone is a seriously dead-sexy Android 2.3, 4.3" screen HTC superphone. It almost makes me want to jump ship and pay Verizon $90 a month for what I pay T-Mobile $65!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oskiee:
Well, I don't even give a crap about the 4g or anything like that as long as it works, what I'm more concerned about is paying 50 a month for unlimited everything.

I purchased one of these for myself and a friend

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-O...846911?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cf14ca67f

I can confirm that it is an OEM battery, or at least as good. Whereas my old, original battery was only lasting me ~12 hours on CM7.1, this replacement has lasted up to 28 hrs on a single charge. It's amazing how well our ancient device performs with only a 1400 mAh battery.

Is there a way I can just take the icons from the version that looks like a tachometer (3rd one down, blue @ 66%) and use 7zip to implement it directly into my current ROM, then just reflash my ROM?

EDIT - damn browser won't let me load my ROM.

Yes, just how you said. You would replace them in:

/system/framework/framework-res.apk:/res/drawable-hdpi/
[Epic 4G Themes] m5james:
Pedro, if you'd like me to PM you instead, I can...but I figure anyone else reading this can apply it through 7zip the same way and then Impaler can be left alone to other things.

I did exactly what you said, the only differences I could see between the stock ROM files and the version I downloaded from this thread is that Impaler's drawable file had a "v4" at the end of the file names. Here is my desktop so you can see what I mean about the drawable, then a before and after of what happens on the phone:

What's this quantum rom?
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
A rom from a very long time ago ;)
[Epic 4G Themes] mouseglider:
What's funny is that I have a Epic that started out as a DI18 -> EB13 -> EC05. I applied the EpicStandardCustom.zip when my phone was on EB13 and everything worked. Then I did a manual update to EC05 before they took it down, then I got the OTA EC05 tweak that installed Sprint ID, and still the battery mod that I installed above still works perfectly.

I just bought my wife an epic and it came with EC05 with sprint ID. Basically I set her's up exactly like mine and everything is identical and rooted with cmw 2.5.1.0 from one click root 2.5.5. So I tried to install th last piece to make it complete - tried 3 times to flash EpicStandardCustom.zip and it makes my phone NOT boot up. I read thru the post again and it seems that the battery mods might not owrk with an EC05, although some had sucess thru another app?

So bottom line, is it that you cannot use this on EC05, and the reason my EC05 Epic works is because the battery mod was installed when it was on EB13? I sure would like to get the EpicStandardCustom.zip to work, or should I try the Battery Mod app instead of trying to flash?

Thanks for your help.

I know the Samsung epic is getting old, but are you planning some time in the future to make a 1% battery mod for a stock rom and kernel rooted odexed froyo EC05 epic?

I am happy as a clam with my stock set up now with all the patches - so if you are thinking of a version that will work for my configuration mentioned, do you think it might come before or after the final Gingerbread? :D
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
I was planning on just making them for 2.3

Sent from a truly Epic phone on the XDA Premium app ;)
[Epic 4G Themes] mouseglider:
Bummer, would it be difficult to make them for EC05 2.21? Just the standard battery icon with the percentage - check this out, how the battery mod still stayed with my current EC05 I don't know, but it works great. Not only does it work great, but the battery levels are pretty accurate!

Yup, no special mods except for fixing the the camera sports mode/video lag, calllog bug, and slow rotation fix - I am completely stock per my signature - I just need to get my wifes new epic to match mine, then I will have two perfect "stock" phones. :D :cool:

Please, pretty please! :D

Edit: forgot to say I am rooted via cmw 2.5.5.zip but when I go into cmw, it says 2.5.1.0
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
Wait, so it worked on your stock but not on hers, which is configured the exact same way?
[Epic 4G Themes] mouseglider:
Yup it worked on my completely stock (I/we do use Launcher Pro, if that makes a difference). See my progression in my post# 211. My epic started out as DI18, then I progressively updated to each level. I believe I added your mod when I was on EB13?

One thing, I havent tired was adding the Android man with percent, I didn't like it when I first found your battery mods and changed it to what I have now (I wonder if adding the Android man 1st made it work?), the stock battery icon with the percent inside, but I did that when I was EB13 or when I was on EC05 before Sprint did the OTA to my phone. All of my updates that were done by me were the files that came from Sprint's website or Samsung's website before they were pulled down.

I bought her epic just a few days ago but it already came with EC05 with Sprint ID - my epic was manually updated by me to EB13, then to EC05, then Sprint did an update OTA and I ended up with the latest EC05 with Sprint ID.

But I have set up her phone "exactly" like mine - ie, rooted, LP, all the patch fix's (only had to do one on hers, which was the calllog bug) - in fact if I put both phones in front of you, you could not tell the difference on any of our 7 home screens we have.

We have all the same 3rd party applications from the marketplace both paid and free (I have 124 apps, she has about 105 apps, and with the help of apps2SD I have 215mbs memory free and she has 270mbs free as I have about 20 more 3rd party apps on my phone that she does not have on hers - mainly remote desktop and utility type apps that she would never use).

But other than that, she has a clone of my phone, we are both rooted - main difference that I can see is that I had to progressly upgrade mine to EC05, and hers came with it.

Edit: I wonder if I free up some system memory if that would help - because Asphalt Demo and Free HD Games Demo apks were removed on mine when I did the update from EB13 to EC05 - then I also uninstalled the Nascar, NFL Football, Swype, MediaHub, and Buddies now apks. Maybe that was just enough space that was needed to do your battery mod?

Although I don't know if all those programs were removed before I did your battery upgrade, but I do know for sure that Asphalt Demo and Free HD Games Demo apks were removed.

I say that because on my wife's phone the system memory is full 258mb used out of 258mb without any Bloatware removed ie, completely stock - where as mine says 249mb used out of 258mb according to a program called Smart Monitor Light under the Storage tab that says "System (/system)"

It seems that that might make sense, since your battery mod may consume some memory space?

Edit 2: Well, I'll be - out of curiousity, I freed up about 2mbs of the "System (/system)" (moved 3 apps; Nascar, Sprint Football, and Swype apks from the "system/app" folder to my bloatware folder that I created), and the battery mod now works on my wife/s brand new EC05 stock rooted epic - all I needed was a little system memory - bottom line, it works on EC05!
