+1 easiest method for 3.29 and 3.30 is use unrevoked 3.21 also change recovery at the time of root to RA.

Follow below steps, but also download last anon_ra recovery( put on desktop or a location you will remember). So when you get to the reflash step, go to file select customer recovery and chose anon_ra rather than clockworks.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Pretty sure unrevoked currently does not work for 3.30.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
I thought it didn't work for 3.70?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
correct unrevoked 3.21 and 3.22 work for all evo's except for 3.70
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doeboy711:
So which method should I use?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoticallysweet:
+1 I rooted my friends and she had 3.30 with unrevoked.

Any way to root HTC Evo 2.2 droid on 3.70 Build??

Is there any method whatso ever that has been tested to root Evo 2.2 droid on 3.70 Build?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
This is good to know, my buddy has been waiting for me to root his but I was waiting on unrevoked. I had no idea it worked with 3.30 evos.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doeboy711:
So I can do the unrevoked on mine. Awesome will try in the morning. Is it easier on a 3.30 or a 3.70 Rom. Cause I can update if need be.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doeboy711:
Hey well I am rooted by using zikronix method he posted HERE. The unrevoked apparantly doesn't like when you have a hardware of 004 like I have so I didn't try that one....reading a lot helps lol. All those steps reminded me when I rooted my Hero a yr ago!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
I was pretty sure unrvoked didn't work for 3.30 because it had the new hboot? Report back if it works. Doubt it though. I would define tally use zikronix method. Had plenty of successful roots there. Very good.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoticallysweet:
on 3.30 if you update you will need to use z4root, not unrevoked. Keep it on 3.30
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
not just z4root. that is part of the method, but then you need to flash the misc with the engineering build before flashing into a rooted rom in order to turn s-off with unrevoked-forever then flashing up to a alternate recovery. so yeah stay with 3.30
[Nexus S General] Lewisham:
Hi all, long time lurker (I had an MDA from T-Mobile a longgg time ago), first post for years :)

I really want a Nexus S, and I went to Best Buy today, and the screen just looked terrible; text looked significantly worse than the iPhone 4 and Moto's Droids. Very fuzzy, very obvious pixels. I felt the same way looking at the Galaxy S in the Verizon store. The only thing that I liked was the black depth.

I've seen people claim the Super AMOLED screen is to blame, but then I've also read reviews who say it looks great. I can't imagine that these people who like the screen could not have seen what I did, unless they really needed glasses.

However, both of them had screen protectors applied, which I could believe mucks up the PenTile rendering and makes the screens look worse than they are.

How are other peoples' Nexus S/Galaxy S? Is it just the protector? Is it me, or have other people noticed the same thing?

It bums me out, because I was super hyped for a Nexus (I like that it's open, that it plays well with all the Google services I use), but it didn't make me love it the same way the iPhone 4 wants you to love it, and it's mostly due to the screen.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
I love this screen, chances are it is a poorly applied screen protector
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
Text just doesn't look as, sharp as the Droid or iPhone 4 because they have lcd screens with full 3 color pixels per full pixel. Amoled screens do not, they use pentile sub pixel layout which alternates green and blue sub pixels effectively sharing between pixels. It's a cheaper way to manufacture the more expensive amoled technology. But the cost is less sharp text. Nothing you can do about it.
[Nexus S General] Lewisham:
...and after two replies, we get one which loves the screen and one which says it's just the way it is! :) I don't have any wish to get a phone that plays videos nicely... I spend all my time using Google Reader, Gmail and browsing.

As a point of reference, I would say the text and pixel spacing both looked worse than my first generation iPod Touch. I could believe the color rendering was better.

I'd really like a good way of finding out if it was just a dodgy screen protector in both stores without dropping 530 bucks at Best Buy then instantly returning it if it isn't any better.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
the SAMOLED screen is what keeps me coming back to yet another Samsung phone, even though their product quality is HORRIBLE! (GPS / Internal SD)

the SAMOLED screen is way too addictive, that tells you much about the screen, it's like having 1080p in your phone! :D

colors are the best in the market, and there's nothing that can match up to a SAMOLED crispy display and vivid color

yes, it is true it does suck up a lot of power when you use it at the NICE settings.

and yes, SAMOLED is move lively than the Restina Display of the iphone
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
I would judge the SAMOLED screen on the Galaxy S series to be more vibrant, but the LCD on the iPhone is unparalleled in its resolution:screen size ratio as far as I'm concerned. You can't even pick out individual pixels, it's a thing of beauty. Now, SAMOLED enthusiasts will say the screen is smaller so the resolution isn't actually that great and blah blah blah, but as someone who owns a Nexus S (mostly) without regrets, I still say I think the Retina Display is damn attractive, especially when it comes to displaying very fine patterns and text on solid backgrounds.

Whether Retina or SAMOLED is preferable depends on equal parts usage habits and user preference, I'd say, but the truth is (to my eye anyway) yes, individual pixels stand out more and solid-color backgrounds (especially white ones) and fine details look inferior on the SGS (Nexus S included). I'm not an iPhone fan, but I give credit where it's due, and smaller screen though it may be, it's still purdy. :P
[Nexus S General] Lewisham:
I dunno, the terrible text rendering is enough to make me want to get a Droid or something, but I really don't fancy throwing my weight behind a handset that doesn't support openness and updates like the Nexus S.

I wonder if what I really want is to try and find an SLCD Nexus One...?
[Nexus S General] scrizz:
yes, that's what you want......

If you already looked at SAMOLED and didn't like it, just move on.

;)

:p

:D

:rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] kuceens007:
Zagg screen and body protectors are best,non scrachable ,invisible.....

Sent from my Desire HD
[Nexus S General] dinan:
It is the PENTILE matrix of the SAMOLED screen which is to blame, not the AMOLED technology. There are RGB AMOLED screens, take the Nokia N8 for example. Pentile is what causes text to look fuzzy. People who don't notice it and say the screen is just as sharp (text-wise) as a normal LCD just have bad vision, simple as that. =)
[Nexus S General] zeeklancer:
Its more likely that people who see it fuzzy actually have the bad vision.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
Yes exactly. This isn't guessing, its straight fact. Just Google search the term "nexus pentile pixel layout" and read the professional articles discussing the tech and its pros and cons. Text just looks fuzzy, but you make up for it in other areas. Trade off you need to pick.
[XPERIA X10 General] kovle:
I dropped my phone and ran over with car wheel. .. Here's how it seems now Guarantee does not apply under these conditions .. Can it be replaced ? .. In general is there a spare part for this in the SE production line for replacement parts...

Sorry for my bad English (google translate :D )
[XPERIA X10 General] aodmisery:
does the phone still work? does it turn on?
[XPERIA X10 General] midichan:
I' m sorry to hear that ! and I think it can be repaired at the SE's factory

Good luck to you !
[XPERIA X10 General] ellokomen:
it can be replaced, go to ebay.com and check for Xperia X10 "Digitizer"

also you can replace the housing of the entire phone and also the buttons.

all the pieces are there, you just need the knowledge to put it all and in some cases a good glue
[XPERIA X10 General] chrismorgann:
Ahh i just did that to my phone as well. The touch still works ect just need the new cover. I looked around and its gonna be about $100 at the most to fix it :(
[XPERIA X10 General] aodmisery:
im willing to buy the broken phones if it still works and they are x10i's send me a pm if you want to sell it.
[XPERIA X10 General] kovle:
Yes..phone works whithout any problems.. Display isn't broken..
[XPERIA X10 General] Börger:
:eek: not good still under warranty:confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] Adolf1994:
try to make a story what fits the conditions of you guarantee ;)

I tried it once with my W580i when I completely broke its display and guess what... they made it for me :)

good luck
[XPERIA X10 General] ellokomen:
the X10 screen seems very durable, mine is little broken also, and thanks to the thin cover that is has on top, you can't feel the broken screen, just see it.

Also the touch screen is working fully functionally like nothing has happened
[XPERIA X10 General] hemo1001:
The only thing i like it about SE is the high Quality Built mobiles ... my friend bought an i phone 3GS when it was new and after a week he dropped it and the screen broke into pieces and was unusable .. i dropped my x10 on asphalt in the street many times and i see only little scratches ... anyway i'm sorry for your x10 and better to check with warranty
[XPERIA X10 General] aodmisery:
i sent you a pm but not sure if you got it website is acting funny and it doesnt say i sent the message. anyway im willing to offer you $100 dont care if the screen is broken or if the case is broken as long as the inside as still good and not broken. let me know
[XPERIA X10 General] farhan032:
I too had my front screen & digitizer completely shattered when a bus ran over it !!

Got it fixed at a SE Service center but it took two months for them to procure the parts ( LCD & Digitizer) & fix it at the cost of ~ 213 $
[XPERIA X10 General] chrismorgann:
Mmm when i rang up optus they just went on and on about charges. 1st charge is sending it away 2nd charge is like $50 for sony to look at it then 3rd charge is how ever much it costs fix and it could take up to 6 weeks. wasnt too pleased. So i guess my option now is ebay to get a new screen.

[Venue Pro General] jetjockgordo:
I am a photographer and purchased the DVP for the nice AMOLED screen to showoff my work but have discovered what might be either a DVP or WP7 flaw when zooming in on photos.

I have a couple of shots of Chicago lights from 10,000' at night and the picture is razor sharp and looked fantastic on my HD2 at any zoom level. I have the same file synced on the DVP as an original quality file and it looks good at the default zoom level but even the smallest amount of zoom causes it to be come quite blurry and remains so at all zoom levels. All detail of the city lights disappears with zoom. I have looked at all my photos whether from local synced or "cloud" files.

Anyone else notice this anomaly?

Also, the camera "lens" that is part of the back cover looks like it is just a dust/dirt guard that is made of cheap plastic that is an optical disaster. I will put it through some tests and see if it might be better to just remove it or replace it with super thin glass disk.
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
No flaw....but a by design scenario. Go back and read up about WP7, pictures and the cloud. You'll see the problem.
[Venue Pro General] jetjockgordo:
Well, with all due respect, I have been reading pretty much everything about the DVP and WP7 but have not seen any article or discussion that addresses a photo zooming problem. I do understand that some may think the AMOLED screen lacks sufficient resolution but that would not explain why a photo is sharper zoomed out rather than zoomed in. It also does not seem to to matter if a photo file is located locally or remotely.

Do you have any references to where the problem is discussed?
[Nexus One Android Development] yumcax:
Awesome. I'll be trying this out as soon as I get a larger SD card. It would be great if you could upload a .zip with all of the scripts, downloads, etc. already placed in one folder; that would make it a lot easier.

[Nexus One Android Development] houzuoguo:
If you re-installed a rom (i.e. /system partition gets rewritten)

You'll need to execute the following commands on Android Terminal:

cd /sdcard/ubuntu

sh u

then type "b" to enter Ubuntu terminal :)

Happy New Year!
[Nexus One Android Development] Chopes:
Hey,

In the OP you mention that some apps will not run because of the memory management? Is there a size threshold that this is start to be seen at or is it totally random on which things run/don't?

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] gupta.keshav94:
Okay.. Thanks for the guide.. :)

Happy New Year..
[Nexus One Android Development] houzuoguo:
I'm not very familiar with Linux kernel so sorry I can't give an accurate explanation :)

According to my observation, many applications in the Ubuntu 10.10 can successfully start (program title appears in task bar) but immediately they turn off by themselves.

And it seems to me that all those applications share a same characteristic: they're relatively bigger than others. For example, Terminal runs, Dictionary runs, Firefox runs, but Ubuntu Software Centre won't run.

So my guess is ... Android system would not allocate too much memory for an application in Ubuntu, thus they get killed before they could start.
[Nexus One Android Development] tehgeekguy:
I'll give this a one thumb up, because I got it working, got to play around a bit... it looks really nice... but I did a reboot of my phone after shutting it down properly, and now everytime I try to launch ubuntu again, I get a bunch of errors.

I've tried just about everything.... restoring to my nand backup I did before trying this, deleting the files off the sdcard and on my system relating to this, tried to set everything back up... but I still get errors and I can't get past them, even with trying "e" in the term.

FWIW, I'm on CM 6.1.1 and I do use DTa2sd with plenty of space left on all partitions. Here's a pastebin of my errors : http://pastebin.com/adCQ62iF
[Nexus One Android Development] houzuoguo:
Happy New Year!

Could you please go to Settings-> Application Settings-> Manage Applications-> on SD card and confirm there is no application on SD card?

Also please make sure you execute "b" after "Checking for Errors" notification disappears.
[Nexus One Android Development] rossonza:
Running this distro does that mean i can use firesheep on my n1?
[Nexus One Android Development] Deathwish238:
Awesome! What kind of battery life are you seeing using Ubuntu? Any apps in particular you've enjoyed having on your N1?
[Nexus One Android Development] houzuoguo:
According to my study Firesheep would require WinPcap to work, WinPcap is only available for Windows so unfortunately you can't use it.

I notice battery drains 2-3 mAh more when Ubuntu is idle, when actually using Ubuntu I notice 30-40mAh higher current draw. So actually it's not much
[Nexus One Android Development] merchant91:
hey thanx houzuoguo,

working great on my n1....!!

is there any solution for the sound to run...??
[Nexus One Android Development] liam.lah:
I cant seem to get any of the "cat >" letters to work, it just hangs in the terminal.
[Nexus One Android Development] hotweiss:
Firesheep works in Ubuntu, you just have to compile it yourself.

1) Download the required dependencies:

sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool libpcap-dev libboost-all-dev libhal-dev xulrunner-1.9.2-dev

2) Install git:

sudo apt-get install git

3) Download the Firesheep source:

git clone https://github.com/codebutler/firesheep.git

4) Change to the Firesheep directory:

cd firesheep

5) Initialize it:

git submodule update --init

6) Compile it:

./autogen.sh && make

7) You'll find the file in the build directory.
[Nexus One Android Development] Chopes:
Not to threadjack or anything of the sort but:

Does the above method work on getting firesheep installed on a n1 running ubuntu or is this just the way to install it assuming your running on normal hardware?

Second question, what is the resulting file?

Thanks,
[Nexus One Android Development] houzuoguo:
Which terminal application are you using, and did you type the "cat >" on screen keyboard or copy&paste?
[Nexus One Android Development] hotweiss:
I actually don't know if the above method will work on a Nexus One, but in theory it should; it does work with my notebook Ubuntu install. It would be nice if someone would try and let us know. I don't have the space on my microSD card, but if the above method works - I will buy a new one.
[Nexus One Android Development] Chopes:
I am willing to give it a try, just wondering before I start what that resulting file would be? Is it an extension file for firefox or how exactly would that work after the last step there?
[Nexus One Android Development] hotweiss:
The resulting file is firesheep.xpi, it's in the build directory. Just right-click on it, and select open with Firefox.

Hey thanks for the info.

Right now I am successfully in ubuntu but nothing will open at all, it beings to open then auto closes it seems. Tried opening terminal, firefox and a few other programs via the GUI while logged into the VNC server nothing seemed to open.

Any ideas on how to progress from this point? Thanks

rm -r -f /data/local/ubuntu

mkdir /data/local/ubuntu

And change the "mount" statement back to:

mount -t ext2 /dev/block/loop1 /data/local/ubuntu

Do you have apps like "Auto Killer" on Android? Do you manually set low-mem-killer parameters? If so please set low-mem-killer parameters back to system defaults.

I guess that Android automatically kills those applications when they're using too much memory. I'd actually like to get help from a Kernel developer who can explain this in more detail :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Chopes:
I uninstalled all the auto-kill apps that (I had TasKill installed) I have and the same thing happened. I attempt to launch something (firefox for example) and it says starting then eventually closes and ignores the request. No idea, been messing with everything trying to see if it will make a difference, coming up empty though. Ideas?

EDIT: Update, got that issue fixed, I guess I had too much stuff running on my phone, killed all the random apps then restarted everything and firefox opened. Hoping I have space on the sd card for all these updates to properly install, going through that now. Looks like ~300MB there total, cutting it close for the stock SD card lol.
