Hey bcnice20, I've heard great things about you and as I'm currently out of work (it sucks) I have a lot of time on my hands and I'm often lurking on IRC and such. I've been trying to find where you guys are working on root and see if I can help at all. Let me know!

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bubby323:
Very nice, thanks. This gives me something to look at while I have the shift sent to me. (:
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] vampir4997:
Tried visionary. It just rebooted my phone and made it act wierd. Oh well ill wait. Kinda scarwd me dont want tovtry z4root now
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] byggpoppa:
LOL

So as far as you know... you know nothing. I'm glad the internet has given you forum in which you can act like you have "a set"...

Is it really that terrible to ask for a progress update... to me ... no... in some tards opinion... I guess so.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] vampir4997:
Really dude. These guys are working hard on their own time to hook us up. I mean seriously,if you don't like the speed of progress go buy an iphone.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] kenvan19:
Is there anything else that would help you bubby?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cloverdale:
This happens, just let it boot, then reboot again and run visionary. It will work.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] x99percent:
Try again.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] d1msum4lyfe:
I'm wondering if devs are really looking into it or not. (Apologies to the devs if you all are actually doing it, i'm not trying to get at you guys at all)

Be nice to get an update, just to let us know if it's actually being worked on right now or later down the road.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Unrevoked has already said he is. Demanding things from developers who do this for free is never a good idea ;)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
But there is nothing wrong with asking right? I think most of us are just asking for an update not demanding anything.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I understand, but insinuating that developers aren't taking things seriously or wondering if they'll ever do it isn't a great tool to getting them motivated ;)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] dylansylvester:
This. If you need your root so fast, do it your self! Quit being so childish. It'll be done when it's done. And if it's not done, boo hoo for you, so QUIT your whining.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
Yea that's true. I just never waited this long for root because this is my first phone besides the pixi that I got on release day.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] yokken:
people need to lighten up, he's just asking if there are any updates. i realize you gotta wait it out but nobody is telling developers to hurry up. we just wanna hear "yeah i'm still working on it, but i've been working on it, don't worry". ease up.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Nice upgrade then, if you had a pixi :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
Lol! That was a while ago. I switch to the hero soon after. The pixi was trash.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Nice! I don't remember you from the hero forums :o
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
I wasn't really active. The only forum I am really active is precentral. But I plan on becoming more active with my evo shift.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ah ok, that'd be why. As you may be able to tell, I am very active on the other hand :p :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
:D I can tell.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] tokuzumi:
Keep in mind the Evo was released a few weeks before it was officially released...remember Google I/O? So you had a group of motivated android devs/hackers with the phone in hand, and all the free sprint service they could possibly want. But as I remember, it was a fairly long, and complicated process to root the evo. Temp root was established first. Then, rooting was permanent, but the nand was still locked. Finally, nand was unlocked, and all the custom roms could begin. But there were some huge threads in the dev section of the evo forum, with tons of brainstorming sessions on how to unlock that thing. Just be patient, and good things will come.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] d1msum4lyfe:
So i'm whining, because I'm just asking for an update? or to see if devs have plans to work on it?

If devs were like, oh we have this phone and that phone lined up and your phone model may be looked at next month, then i'd be fine. I'm sure others would like to get a little update or something. I know unrevoked mentioned it like a day after the release.

So if that's a whine to you, I sure ain't going to quit :p
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] herbthehammer:
Kinda off topic. I heard a saying once that you were born with two eyes, two ears and one mouth. Hence, you should look and listen twice as much as you speak.

"They see me herping, their derping"?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] foxsdaddy67:
did any one using visionary have their phone seem slower even after multiple reboots?:confused:
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cloverdale:
I myself have not, but I have heard it suggested that you remove the super user app, then reboot again.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jesusice:
Mine was really slow at first but after a few minutes it got it together and has been zippy ever since. First couple times I was impatient and kept pulling the battery but when I finally let it do it's thing it was fine.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Carrick1973:
I see both sides of the discussion. I understand the apprehension of not knowing if the Shift can even be rooted at all. I'm sure it can be, and I'm sure they're working on it - and if they do root it, I'll get them a six-pack somehow. Personally, I'm on the fence between getting the EVO and getting the Shift. I don't have a physical keyboard now, so that's not as important to me, but the potential for OC'ing the shift looks to be great, but on the otherhand, the EVO has a screen that's twice the size of my current phone. Hopefully they'll have a root for it soon, but let's keep this forum focused on the phone and not on each other. The other forum I'm part of is the Vogue forum, and that forum is excellent - on topic, and not personal.

Hows the shift threating yall?

Looks fun to play w :)

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cloverdale:
I am pretty happy with temp root, and have no problem waiting it out. My bloatware is gone, I can tether, and the phone is fast. Having used cyanogenmod since the day jesus freke left the scene, I kind of enjoy the lack of issues in the stock rom.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] tatonka_hero:
Here is the simple answer to everyone wondering how the process is coming:

It will be done when it's done

Until it's done, I suggest trying not worrying about it too much. If you have the ability to help the devs, then contact them with what you can do and ask if you can help them. If you don't have the knowledge necessary, then please just patiently wait like the rest of us :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] samfreese:
I'm in for a $20 donation to whoever gets it rooted with NAND unlocked. It pays for me to just root instead of paying an outrageous amount per month for hotspot. PM me if ya'll get full root, and $20 via paypal shall be yours.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Evo_Shift:
Are the carriers responsible for HTC doing this? What benefit is it to HTC to lock them down so much?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] DWake014:
You can temp root and use wireless tether for free....
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] yokken:
as well as PDAnet unrooted, i don't see why you'd rather use more battery on a wifi hotspot when you can usb tether.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] DWake014:
We have a pretty decked phone straight out of the box, its not like were stuck with Moments or anything (can't believe I lasted a year with that thing). I'm perfectly happy without root for the time being, but I share the same curiosity as far as progress. This whole thread has no indicator of what % or how far root progress is, just that it's being worked on, and I can see it just being a giant internet mosh pit. I think this thread should be locked until a perm-root method has been released. Oh, and I thought we had 3-4 decent devs with this phone and I'm sure more will come when the phone is rooted. I doubt the lack of devs will kill this phone, I think when a 4"+, 4G, slider, Sprint/HTC phone come out this phone will hit EOL :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] DWake014:
If I use wireless tether I normally have my phone plugged into my computer anyways, and then my gf can use it as well. (Comes in very handy when our crappy internet drops and we have hw to do :mad:)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Been reading along and i just wanted to say that u guys arent far away from the evo ya kno so devs from evo n evo shift will collide and make **** happen forsure. Jusy give it time and ull see magic. Hell theres a evo dev working on the thunderbolt evo for verizon, so like i said patience friends ull see some great action soon :)

Till then ill be round looking at the progress of the thread cause i have an EVO 4G and its the best around couldnt have it any better! Have a good one guys.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Vipermuscle83:
I had an Evo 4G since its debut last year and switched to the Epic about a month ago just to shake things up a bit...yeah, that lasted about a week. The Epic's development absolutely SUCKED! There were a total of like 5-6 devs and every Rom was just about the same as the last. No variety, barely any kernals and NONE for the froyo based Roms...I was so disappointed I sold it for a loss and went back to the Evo. Fast forward a month later, I switched to the Shift thinking it's the second coming of the G2 on Sprint and will get hooked up in no time and yet almost 2 weeks after debuting, still no root access. I know it will get done and I'm not talking smack about the devs but I agree that if the problem is a lack of devs for this phone, the Shift will become another EPIC failure. Although, out of the box, I'm in love with this thing. Hit 1700 quadrant bone stock! Unreal! Just thinking about the possibilities makes me salivate to EPIC proportions. Ok Ok, enough with the Epic crap. God that phone sucked!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] akmzero:
@viper the epic didn't suck, its still one of sprints best phones atm. Its just that samsung phones in general suck. I mean unless your ok with dropping calls and receiving messages late, then in that case its the phone for you.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Vipermuscle83:
Yeah, you're right. Samsung is very disappointing. My gf has the captivate and it sucks too. Why the hell did they get dibbs on the Amoled screens? It pisses me off that htc couldn't develop their own Amoleds. In my opinion, if htc did do that, they would have by far the best phones in the industry. The Nexus One is still my favorite phone of all time and it was the only htc with an Amoled screen. I seriously hope they address this issue and very soon!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
The incredible and desire had them before they switched to slcd.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] OnyxMinion:
Honestly, The phone is a very nice piece of equipment. even without perma root. The possibilities seem endless. the only real thing im looking forward to root for, is for the handiness of using it to develop some custom applications that I am wanting to bring to the community.

Im not sure how different it will be from java, but I know it will be some good frustration, and alot of fun.

For those of you frustrated about the waiting time... I'll just say this...

The phone is a powerhouse... straight out of the box, even with an 800MHZ stock clock speed. Ive never run into a phone that was so smooth, even comparing with the Evo 4g. (rooted, dont remember what ROM the fellow had running) Temp root will get us through, and help us out a bit where we need it.

its not likely anybody paid these fellows to learn what they are doing...

most of the time the devs are happy with the praise, the freebies, the 5 minute WOOHOO! they get when they complete the job, and maybe a free beer or two.

keep in mind that rent has to be paid, electricity bill, internet bill, GAS BILL (for those of you with KCPL you know what i mean...)

and they have to have money for this somehow. just remember

$sudo apt-get install patience

honestly... if there is anything that we can do to help, (at least those like me) let us know, we will me more than happy to provide any testing, logs, etc we can, and who knows, maybe a few bucks, and/or a beer or two.

and out of curiosity, (for a sec analysts point of view) what is the actual issue we are facing? is there some sort of active encryption/decryption of the kernel that needs to be cracked?

either way, best to everyone, didn't mean to preach, just wanted to touch on a couple of things. ask a question or two. get on my way.

Thanks!

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] foxsdaddy67:
whats messed up is HTC gets alot of their screens from samsung. sprint was having problems keeping the Evo in stock and HTC was buying them from samsung to keep up with demand lol. and if the moment was like this phone out of the box i'd probably still be on it now, the simple fact is this phone works and it kicks ass!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] dumper1234:
Multi users can use wifi
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] dumper1234:
I though the Hotspot will allow Multi users. I rooted my phone with Visionary, but I can only use the wireless tethering, but can't get the hotspot work, and keep getting the message from Sprint, I can't use the hotspot feature.

I put my phone at the far corner of the house since it is only spot got good reception and plug the phone into a wall charger. So my wife and I can both have good wifi. Can anyone confirm that the Hotspot will not work with the temp-rooted phone?

Thank you!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cloverdale:
Rooting your phone will not enable the sprint hotspot.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drnelson324:
Just download the Wireless Tether app from the market. When you have your phone temp rooted, open the app, tap to start tethering, allow the app with superuser, tell superuser to remember the app, and you are good to go.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] StAlphonso:
umm...if you agree samsung phones in general suck and dropped calls and recieving messages late obviously sucks (which it sounds like youre saying the epic does [i dont know personally never owned one, but that is what youre saying right?])....then in what way does the epic not suck?....just trying to understand the logic here...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] dumper1234:
Thanks for the quick response. I am using the Wireless Tethering apps, but the question was: Does it support the multi users wireless?

I tried last night, it didn't work. I could only have one PC using the tethering at a time not both. Or there are some setting for the multi users?

Thanks in advance.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cloverdale:
You may need to allow each user, but if you have the proper wireless tether app, it does allow multiple users.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Carrick1973:
I thought these screens on the Shift were from Sony? Anyone know if that's the case or not? Also, does anyone know what the pixel density is? It's the same resolution as the EVO, but in a smaller screen, so the pixel density should increase accordingly, but looking at Wikipedia, the EVO is listed as 4.3-inches (480-by-800) with a density of 216 pixels per inch (ppi) and the Shift is listed as 3.6-inches (480-by-800) widescreen at 216.97 ppi, so something doesn't jive. Also, can anyone confirm if we can change the density to a different value using Rogue Tools or another tool without permaroot?
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
Please have all general discussions about the new Evo Shift here
[EVO Shift 4G General] silex:
Speaking in general, I can't wait to get mine!
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
I am absolutely loving mine. Hope you get yours soon!
[EVO Shift 4G General] iamkaioken:
This is a phenomenal upgrade from the Hero. I'm really pleased with the phone, again another polished device from HTC.

Eagerly awaiting root and gingerbread! :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] nik4android:
Picked it up yesterday. Absolutely love it. Quadrant standard is 1500+ and it beat the hell out of a stock Evo. Battery life is good but want to know more about its is processor chip..
[EVO Shift 4G General] mputtr:
how do you like the keyboard? specifically how does that square dpad feel? (is it capacitative or an actual button)
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
I love the keyboard which reminds me of the G1's. The dpad is a physical button and to be honest I have not used it that much.

I didn't really think that I missed having a keyboard, but man it has been a pleasure to have this one at the ready.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
The GPU is the Andreno 205 here are the specs and a nice write up

Andreno 205

Here are the details of the MSM7630
[EVO Shift 4G General] nik4android:
Thanks. Also I love the keypad. Didn't realise how much I missed it when using my Evo.
[EVO Shift 4G General] yokken:
when using advanced task killer, how much memory do you guys usually have? i'm sitting at around 140MB but right after i reboot the phone and kill apps i got to 190MB. my evo was around 230MB after reboot and around 170MB after running for a while.

you think custom roms will help memory management and get all this crap off here? i thought the evo and the shift had the same amount of RAM (512mb)...

but man did i miss my keyboard. went to the evo, yelled at my phone for the keyboard probably 50 times a day, raised blood pressure im sure... now i got the physical keyboard, no guessing now.
[EVO Shift 4G General] dnalevelc:
the only thing I miss is the Evo screen size, but I am very very very happy with this phone. I can't stop playing with it. Gameboid with real buttons as controls makes it so much easier to play FFVI :-D I can't wait to overclock the snot out of this thing.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Osin83:
In stock?

If I haven't pre-ordered at this point, is it realistic for me to be able to find somewhere with this in stock tomorrow morning?
[EVO Shift 4G General] plmiller0905:
Another thing the Shift has also is the New Flip Clock. Although, I do know you can flash it on the Evo. However, you have to be rooted in order to it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] DWake014:
Yeah I picked mine up from radio shack two days ago for $150. Hell I was the first one the store sold and I went in at like 7pm. The reps didn't even know they had the phone on display yet.
[EVO Shift 4G General] the5ifty:
yep, just walked into bby and came out with one 15min later...
[EVO Shift 4G General] raptor15sc:
I just picked mine up. I upgraded from a HTC Touch Pro 2.

Edit: I had a question here, but I found an answer to it elsewhere. Be back later probably.
[EVO Shift 4G General] dnalevelc:
you can use PDAnet for now. It's a pay app, but you can use it free. Free version doesn't do secure sites. I'm gonna use it till I get rooted.
[EVO Shift 4G General] nik4android:
Its was launched just today but has been available at radioshack and bb for a couple of days. The only way for tethering would be to root it and then use a custom rom. That is what I know imho.
[EVO Shift 4G General] JaredAV:
Does anyone know if there every going to create the droid x multi touch keyboard for this phone...Yes this does have a physical keyboard but sometimes i like to type on screen, and that was my favorite keyboard on the OG Evo
[EVO Shift 4G General] plmiller0905:
I know you can do temporary root with "Zroot" and i think I read that the wifi tethering app also works after you use Zroot.
[EVO Shift 4G General] silex:
I couldn't help myself and picked it up today at the Sprint store. Loving the heck out of this thing! Although... did anybody else notice the Epic is now $199.99 AR? Too bad Samsung keeps delaying Froyo. Couldn't take waiting for it anymore! Someone also explain to me why Sprint still sells the HTC Hero for the same price AR as the HTC Evo Shift? I think of the Shift as a replacement for the Hero who in their right mind would buy a Hero now...

I envy you guys who can buy it at The Shack or BB with your rebate OTD price (which ultimately saves money on tax as well). I couldn't due to being on SERO so had to go the route of upgrading it to Premium and only Sprint or Telesales can do that directly.

Well said good sir!
[EVO Shift 4G General] rhodiggah:
from HERO to EVO SHIFT!!!

I can't believe I bought the Evo Shift today (Sun) over at Radioshack. Replaced my rooted HEROC, gonna miss that one...

Looking forward to rooting, roming, new threads, and many more...
[EVO Shift 4G General] jcha:
I'm just honestly surprised that there isn't a forum for this phone yet.

I'm currently contemplating upgrading from my Hero to this but I'd like to see ROOT on this first and some clearing up of the hardware specifications. The whole 512 mb/ram 2gb/rom thing is bothering me.

I may pass this up for an Epic since it's down to 200 now.
[EVO Shift 4G General] latenite:
New Evo Shift Owner

Picked my Evo Shift up at RS on Thursday. 1st store I went to didn't have any. I was the first person at second store to pick one up. I considered the Samsung Epic but:

1) price 2) Evo Shift's speed and 3) Samsung's history of delaying Froyo.

From what I heard RS stores only got 2 phones EVO Shift's each.

Came from an (Original) HTC Touch. Before that I had a HTC PPC6500.

Nice to have a keyboard back and a large screen. I'm extremely impressed with Android and the functionality
[EVO Shift 4G General] Kirby Baker:
Got my Shift Sunday at BB. Looked at it Saturday but wanted to learn more about it. Came from a Heroc. This thing is so fast compared to my Heroc (which I ran at 768 mhz!). Cant wait for rooting and CM6/7 on this phone!
[EVO Shift 4G General] plmiller0905:
I'm really loving this phone. I paid full price for the Original Evo like 2 months ago and now i just paid full price for the Shift. I was actually thinking about switching back to my Original Evo just so I can try out the new Myn Rom. But I looked at the screen on the Shift and the speed of it and quickly changed my mind. The Original Evo screen has nothing on this phone. I'm in love with this keyboard too. I NEVER make a mistake when sending texts, email etc. When I typed on my Evo. I always made mistakes. Sometimes I ended up sending messages that made no sense at all. This phone may be smaller than the Original Evo but it definitely makes up for it.

Thanks HTC and Sprint :D....now we need some roms and themes
