[EVO 4G General] Mr.37:
I was in the same boat ...

EVO has better build quality, better design, no extra free space on top or bottom of the screen, better screen (IMHO) .... Feels premium device. Oh yes huge development support here at XDA.

EPIC has better GPU, Keyboard (which I don't care for, may be big deal for you), SAMOLED (which I think isn't suitable for browsing and reading).

I am VERY happy with my EVO. Get an EVO root, Flash ROM, throw a speedy Kernel in and You won't look at the EPIC again.

Just wanted to put my two cents in.
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
I was in the same boat as the OP not too long ago.

From a performance perspective, I expected similar results from both, even though epic has the faster processor (how much faster...?). The previous phone also had a keyboard that went mostly unused 95% of the time. Software wise I expected both to be similar as both are based on the same OS.

I later found out the evo does indeed have much better development support at this time. Epic being a newer product is still catching up I suspect.

But overall, 2 reasons why I went with the evo

1) larger screen

2) price - got this for $110 OTD during the holiday promotions.

And actually, #2 was really the final deciding factor.
[EVO 4G General] Ranger093:
Have both, got evo at Launch and Epic at launch. The Evo is much more sluggish in most programs with any interaction with the GPU, Ala Live wallpapers and such and Programs like ADW EX. However the Evo has a better development community. Much better, I'm stuck on my Epic however as I simply cannot deal with the Laggy menus and Sub-Par screen. Wish my epic could run gingerbread like my Evo though. :( I love the screen on and off animations.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
if i was going to buy a new phone now id probably go for the epic maybe even the evo shift and that's a maybe!
[EVO 4G General] iamr00t:
Get the Evo... The Evo has a better proccessor, a better back camera, larger screen, etc... Oh and the Epic doesnt have a little kickstand on the back ...
[EVO 4G General] metalfan78:
I came from tmobile, I had the vibrant. There are pros and cons for a galaxy s phone. The screen was nice, the internal storage was huge, the gpu was fast....thats about it. I hated having to mod it to work right, the gps sucks, lack of samsung update support, the lag was unbearable without a lagfix. I'm so much happier with htc and the evo. I can mod it if I want to, not because I need to. Hope that helps you a bit
[EVO 4G General] jocampo86:
Fixxer ,haha u was at the hero forums dude..when I had the hero,I bought the evo on launch day,traded it for a epic ,2 months ago I regretted it the next day,brother,there's just bugs that annoyed the **** outta me,plus not such a well mod forum,no froyo update..
[EVO 4G General] jkinnison90:
Evo or Evo Shift is what I'd get.
[EVO 4G General] kenvan19:
Another epic user who is switching to the evo and I agree completely. Get the evo

[EVO 4G General] buckrub58:
Started with the Epic on launch day, returned it for the Evo 2 weeks later. The Evo is so much more refined, and the support is much better. Never regretted returning the Epic.
[EVO 4G General] jocampo86:
I still have the epic,but don't use it anymore,I traded my evo for a epic and was regretting it right away so I tried to trade the epic for an evo but nobody would make the trade so I decided to use my airave upgrade and bought the white evo.and don't regret it..haven't rooted....yet
[EVO 4G General] Ranger093:
Did you honestly just say the evo has a better processor? And a better camera? Because both are better on the Epic. Even though its 5mp check stills they look better from the epic.
[EVO 4G General] diego1985:
If you wanted a non bias decision, It would have been best to post in the Non Evo Android General Forum IMO. That's like going to someones home and asking who's house is better? Yours or the neighbors? See where im going? Personally i think you really wan't the Evo. Because if i wanted an evaluation on which phone to get, I wouldn't post in any of the phones forums. But outside the forums,this is home field advantage here.:cool:
[EVO 4G General] semperlux:
If Batman needed a cell phone for his utility belt it would probably be an Evo because of its sturdy construction, and it just looks frickin' cool in a ruggedized protector and evidently bullet-stopping capabilities. Also there are so many ROMs that he could choose. Dude... imagine a "batrom".

But since I'm not Batman, and if I could choose again I would get an Epic because of the amoled screen and the keyboard. Evo Shift is an Incredible with a slide-out kb. I saw it yesterday at Radio Shack and was dissapointed. No diss on the Inc--it's a good phone! In fact, it's faster than the Evo Shift.

I have an Evo; wife, brother and two co-workers all chose Epics--gotta' tell you something.

How To Install CM7 CrackFlashers Nightly Builds for Vision​

WARNING: I take no responsibility if you screw anything up and neither does Cyanogen or anyone besides yourself. ​

This is the Crackflashers CM7 nightly builds. It includes CyanogenMod settings and gingerbread in the install. So here we go. :D

STEP 1: Getting Clock Work Recovery mod 3.0

This is probably the hardest part of it all. Even though it's super easy. :p

There are many ways to do this part but after trying them all I believe this is the easiest way;

Thanks a ton to dustrho

Download: clicky

Note: you do not need to fast boot for this method

CWR MOD NEEDS TO BE ORANGE

STEP 2: Downloading the needed files

The CM7 Nightly builds can be found here: clicky

Download the latest build and google-apps and place them in the Root of your phone.

STEP 3: Backup and wipe and install

1.) Reboot into recovery

2.) Do a backup

3.) Wipe your data and cache

4.) Install your CM7 rom zip file

5.) Install your google apps zip file

NOTE: you must install both in the same recovery!

6.) reboot

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You should now be guided through a gingerbread set-up

Thanks to really everyone at XDA! Especially Cyanogen himself though :D

KNOWN BUGS:

(please help me out and add to the list)

Wifi Doesn't work! FIX: reboot

[A7 General] argie:
I read on one of the many A7 posts that there is a USB "A" cable that allows connection to the USB port of a computer, and enables file transfers. Is this correct?

Also, I was able to pair up with my laptop via Bluetooth. Is there an app required (on either or both devices) to then enable this connection to see the A7's sdcard and transfer data back and forth?

Either solution would make the A7 a much more acceptable tablet to me. The "adb over wifi" is not nearly as flexible, and the eLocity solution to (1) remove the sdcard, (2) plug it into your laptop, (3) transfer files, (4) remove from your laptop, and (5) plug it back into the A7, is almost laughable...

UPDATE: I tried QuickSSHD, but I found the instructions confusing and/or incomplete. My A7 was able to "pair but not connect", and coudn't find a solution to this.
[A7 General] rapcon:
market app call websharing. Shares internal memory via WIFI.
[A7 General] sagggas:
Now that I have an A7, this is the coolest app I've found for Android.

At Fry's, I couldn't even find USB 'A' male to 'A' male cables that weren't 3.0 (which apparently aren't backwards compatible). This is sweet.

dropbox

hi I havent got my a7 yet its on its way but I use a free app called dropbox to share stuff with my phone, netbook ,ipod touch and my son in tn it works great.
[A7 General] cadiken:
I use the free dropbox app. I also use it with Titanium Backup. Works well.
[A7 General] durango99:
another method is using swiftp to make your a7 into a ftp server. Then you can transfer files using an ftp client on a pc or on another android device.
[A7 General] djyellowperil:
dropbox is a great service but websharing is a different beast entirely. both have their place and both are awesome.
[A7 General] argie:
Websharing didn't work well for me. Some files it would refuse to upload to the tablet for no reason. I did upload three photos, seemingly successful, but on the tablet all three showed with 0 size, and won't display.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCoolHand:
Have you flashed a custom recovery image like clockwork or amon ra? That sounds like the stock one.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deltatristar500:
thanks, no I have not...will look at getting one of those..Im really new at all this so bare with me.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indiscriminant:
From a new to this standpoint the easiest thing to do is search the market for "Rom Manager" download the free version and there should be an option to flash Clockwork to your phone. It will do all of the work for you.

Then reboot into recovery, and you will have the option to Flash/Apply Zip.

For a Sense rom the best kernal I have found is still Zen's no perf lock kernal, a quick search should pull it up. It eliminates the screen lag in Sense that typically occurs when the screen is off, answering calls, and typing. No other kernal has ever come close to it when I run sense roms.

It will let you overclock and undervolt with a wide range of speeds. I get great performance out of 345 low 729 high with on demand while the screen is on, then set a profile in set cpu for the screen off to be 245 to 480 (allows music/pandora to play without issue while conserving battery).

Just some helpful stuff for you.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deltatristar500:
thanks for the reply
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deltatristar500:
thanks, worked like a charm with the Zen kernel, and with set cpu set at 345 low 729 high, yet Restaurant story seem to still lag a but at 729, most be all the folks at me restaurant. Oh well.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deltatristar500:
How do I minimize the lag from turning on the screen and useing the device on the home screen. I turn it on, there looks like there is a bit of a pause for the CPU to relize the screen is turned on and to switch to the 345 low 729 high setting (on demand) instead of the lowest setting to 345 for (screen off). The dely is a bit annoying since I can move to the other screens left or right from the home screen. Its like the phone freezes for a few seconds
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indiscriminant:
Go into your display settings and turn off Screen animations. (I have mine on some and it seems fine though)

Also, take the stock android clock/weather widget and remove it.

Then re-apply the widget again and when it gives you the option to keep its animation on turn it off as well, by default when the Rom is loaded it is on. For some reason that seems to always cause me lag when first getting the screen on. I think it is due to whenever it loads it checks the weather, the last time it showed, and then decides if it wants to do the animation or not. Unfortunately our Hero's just don't process that too fast.

Also as a new person go to this link, about half way down http://wecravegames.com/forums/gadg...sion/34-~~~official-android-thread~~~-67.html

It is a gaming forum I am also on and I answered a basic question on terms for rooting etc that may be of help to you.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indiscriminant:
Each hero's hardware unfortunately seems to handle overclocking a little different. You may actually also want to lower your top clock speed down to 691 (seems safe on every version) and it may actually help.

Also you can raise your minimum up a level or two if you feel it needs it when the screen is on.

When the screen is off is when you are getting the battery savings anyways.

Your mileage may vary.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deltatristar500:
Is there anything in particular in the advance tab that I need to change? Or leave it as is? Thanks guys for the help
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indiscriminant:
Nope not really.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deltatristar500:
Just curious, what is the default stock clock speed when idle and when the screen is on for the Hero with out SetCpu?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indiscriminant:
Default is 480-518, and it doesn't change screen on or off. That is why the stock set up loses battery so fast is that it is running that speed even without being used.

Here, if you just searched, it you would see it scattered all over the place, how to do this. You dont do it thru that recovery. To do that, you need to install that as an SBF.

Try booting your phone up into the bootloader:

Hold down the "volume down" and camera buttons while pushing the power button.

If your bootloader version says 30.03, then use the 2.3.15 sbf. If it says 30.04, then you will need to use the 2.3.20 full sbf.

The 2.3.20 sbf is available over at mydroidworld. The 2.3.15 is on rootz wiki. There are instructions for both on their respective sites. If you still need more help after this, please post back.

No need to SBF. Go to Droid x android development subforum. There's an update zip there to flash in clockwork that will update your phone.

So I was just doing some research and it seems that 3.0 HoneyComb is just going to be for tablets. So my question is since it will be released for the tablets is there anyway to take the os to make a phone version or is this not possible. I know all this is premature as most phones don't even have gingerbread yet but the tabs like the g-slate from lg and the dell coming in Q2 its not that far away. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas on this topic?
[G2 and Desire Z General] PoisonWolf:

If you look at my thread from a week or so ago with the honeycomb and motoxoom preview, a few members mentioned something like that, that some features would make it to a phone version of honeycomb,.... I did some googleing, but couldn't find anything. Fingers crossed though, we live in hope.

Watch the interview with Matias Duarte on Engadget. He says Honeycome is absolutely the future of all Android devices, and it will intelligently scale itself to provide the best experience per form factor.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr123:
The idea that it is only for tablets is from a very unclear line in a video that was made to emphasize the benefits of android 3 for tablets (vs anything else that anybody is running on tablets).

I.e., it means that they have added special provisions to make it good on tablets. NOT that they have taken phones out of the picture.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
If your BT stereo supports A2DP, then just stream from the Cappy to the radio. I do that and it sounds great. I also have a 3.5mm jack on the front, but that is an analog signal and the difference in sound quality, while slight, is noticeable. My car radio links automatically with my phone when I get in (so long as BT is enabled on the phone) and both hands-free and BT audio profiles are connected. All I have to do is start the music player on the phone and the radio switches input automatically. It also switches to phone profile and pauses the music player when a call comes in.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evoic:
Thanks for both of the responses.

I'll have to check the link in a minute and I'll have to research about my BT connection supporting A2DP as well, but I appreciate the options. Hopefully one will work.

I'm really hoping the A2DP option works, that would be ideal for me, but it is a VW factory BT option that's on the car, so I'm not sure how sophisticated it is.

I'll try to remember to get back here with a post, in the event someone in the future stumbles on this thread looking for the same advice.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evoic:
I have a Captivate running a custom ROM with a custom Kernel.

There had been some grumblings about the speaker port not working correctly for quite a while, but I think they have now resolved it.

I wasn't sure if this was going to be an issue, so I was hoping for something along the lines of a BT connection solution.

Unfortunately, I just read the following piece of garbage info from a different site:

Audio streaming is NOT Supported on 2010 Passat, EOS, Tiguan, CC, Jetta TDI sedan﻿ or Touareg

Looks like Aux. cable for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Man, that's too bad. You'd think a 2010 vehicle would be up to date with the tech. I know some older cars were hands-free profile only because A2DP was not widespread, but a 2010 not having it is just silly. My radio is an aftermarket Sony I bought in 2009 and it not only supports music streamin via BT and has a 3.5mm AUX input, it has a USB port that I can put a thumbdrive with music in and a port in the back for an iPod (if I was stupid enough to own one and pay for the optional cable) and it also has HD radio. VW is usually further forward than most imports. Oh well, at least you can do the cable thing. Get a quality one, some cheapies are known to short contacts and cause problems.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vafifty4:
I use a AUX input in my car and it works pretty well. The only complaint I really have is the sound is at a lot lower volume than radio and mini-usb port.
