[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tmtx76:
So, just NAND flashed my HD2 over to DFT's .2 release of Android. This gave me the infamous MAC address issue of 00:11:22:33:44:55. Now according to a long searched for forum post if you go to:

/system/etc/ find file calibration and open it as view in text editor

in first line you will see the mac address

put your desired mac address,save and exit.

Now, for this you need Root Explorer. So I downloaded and installed Root Explorer. However when I run it, the program tells me I haven't granted the program super user access. Exact text: " Root access could not be obtained because su failed with the following message: permission denied Make sure you granted root permission when requested by SuperUser. If you did then try re-rooting your device. Root explorer will not continue in non-root mode." When I check in super user the page is BLANK. No programs have even requested super user access for me to give permissions to. I'm at a loss, either the version of Android isn't rooted, or the app isn't requesting SU access like it should. Either way I can't fix the MAC address issue. So, does anyone have an idea on how to fix either Root Explorer not getting SU access or the MAC address issue that doesn't require me to edit that file?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hd2k10:
Download a program called "Z4Root" and run a Permanent Root, about 15 seconds after "Rebooting..." appears, restart your phone and try Root Explorer again and Allow it SuperUser Permissions
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tmtx76:
Got that to work last night actually! Now I'm just waiting to see what file should actually be edited as the calibration file isn't in system/etc.

I tried a handful of droidx keyboard ports and none of them worked. Anyone know which one works without a fc...

much appreciated.

but "back space/delete" and "m" (next to each other) are not super accurate

[EVO 4G General] Cleetis:
Hey guys and gals,

So I just rooted my EVO last week with the Beta unrevoked with success. I flash my first ROM that day(Drew's GB 15a ROM). I really like it but it really isn't something that I could use everyday yet, of course.

That being said, can anyone recommend a ROM that is just as easy to flash without haveing to flash anything else over it and with everything working? I hope I am making sence. Maybe a Froyo ROM without sence or even with sence. Anything custom that people really like. I am just getting into flashing ROM's so, I am trying to keep it simple at first.... The EVO is my first android phone. My hardware build is 0003 if that helps. I got it on release day.

Thanks Everyone!

[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
If you like sense Fresh is the way to go, calkulins ROM always been my favorite. Just head over to the development thread you see them, download, nandroid backup, wipe, flash.
[EVO 4G General] mattpermaul:
I've had my evo for about a month and I flash a new rom every week a to try them all out I'm currently on my fourth rom and I think a nice noob rom would be the Sprint Lovers rom its not too different from stock

MikFroyo or Ricsim

[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Your best bet is to create a generic installation which includes your contacts, email setup, other apps you think you'll be using often. Once done, back each app&data using titanium backup.

Then start playing with the different roms. They're similar yet different. It's like shopping for a shoe... Any shoe will protect your foot, but some have different purposes (such as a sandle won't do you much good in the winter) :)

[EVO 4G General] HTCEVOKING:
what i think

I would go to the market download ROM MANAGER...

now you can flash straight to your evo.. they give you screen shots of the ROMs and you can see before you download.. I love MIUI it is real cool to me. its under benice20 you will see it.
[EVO 4G General] dasani:
I love Cyno .. no 4G but its not up in my area yet so that is ok. I updated my radio and I have no Wifi issues but everyone is different. Have fun flashing and remeber to read all you can about your ROM so you know what to expect and not too.

Get Titanium backup .. it is handy if you flash a lot. It's in the market and heard that you can locate it in the forums as well.
[EVO 4G General] bcarter2000:
MikFroYo is the smoothest rom out there. I have it underclocked at 800mhz, and it still runs as smooth as CM, plus everything actually works.

Sense: fresh. Aosp: cyanogen. Ive flashed a bunch of different roms and those were the ones I ran the longest. Very stable and user friendly. I also liked evervolve froyo builds, mikfroyo and azrael roms. My current is a cm7 build. Have fun experimenting cuz its a blast! Just ALWAYS NANDROID!

How do you create a general installation??

Sent from my CM6 Evo
[EVO 4G General] dudleyfire:
I have had the Evo since day one and have tested all the roms. Here is a short synopsis of the best ones.

Myns Warm - If your into cheesy animations with stock features.

CyanogenMod - If you want RAW speed and can live with out some stock features.

Fresh - Great well rounded rom with special and stock features. (My Daily Driver)

Sprintlovers - If you just a rooted stock rom.
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
I think Cyanogen and MIUI represent the most potential out of your phone, but right now they are also the least compatible and thus for the enthusiast rather than the casual user. Neither have 4G (yet) nor HDMI, and both have some annoying little bugs here and there ... but they are ground up writes with lots of little features or unique takes on how to organize/run things. Cyanogen also tends to be "first" with new Android builds (unless you count Google OTA updates) ... so it's got some extra bragging rights.

Great ROMs, but if you just want something that feels familiar they may not be the best "beginner's ROMs".

The best ROMs to start with, IMO, are the Sense based ones, and from that batch I confess Warm Two Point Two is my favorite. Once you get more comfortable with the Sense ROM flashing it wont be long before they all feel the same to you and you'll move on to MIUI or CM anyway ;)

EDIT: i should warn that the lead dev. for EVO on MIUI switched phones and stopped developing for it ... so you may want to watch that thread and make sure it still has a future. It takes a special kind of dedication and skill to maintain a ROM ... they don't just sprout up all over the place.

[General Questions and Answers] wyaeiga:
Hi all,

I'm new to this whole Android scene, having recently defected from an iPhone on AT&T to a Nexus S on T-Mobile. I was wondering what the risks of rooting an Android phone were. I know that it was pretty hard to brick a device when jailbreaking an iPhone. In fact, it seemed that you would have to purposely try to brick it in order to actually succeed in that. So anyways, is rooting an Android phone more risky in any aspect than jailbreaking was for iPhone? Will rooting disable any sort of updating process whether for the phone or for the apps?

Thanks!

Also, if I should ever want to un-root to accomplish whatever, how would I go about doing that? I understand that there are a lot of "one click" roots and unroots. Would I be able to just use those?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 3452239:
I have my htc aria rooted and the perks are great. Like cyanogen mod+gingerbread theme. And to unroot I believe you delete 2 files in system/ something. Lol but it is hard to break your phone with clockwork most
[General Questions and Answers] zer0ed77:
wyaeiga,

I used z4root to gain root access to my Motorola Droid X. It seems to be one of the more popular and realiable one-click root applications. It features temporary and permanent root options. It also has a one-click un-root feature.

The dangers of rooting are not associated with rooting itself, but rather, what can be accomplished after with the rights it provides. It's very much the same concept of running Linux as the root user. Makes since since Android runs a Linux kernel.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] burro breath:
i heard somewhere and cant remember where that android can send picture and text messages to the wrong contacts and that the sender will only see the issue when they go to thier sent iteams box and see that the message was sent to the wrong or multiple people. is this true?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] seeARMS:
Partially.. There was a bug which happened to a very small number of people which changed the person who you were sending the message to. It only occured when you quickly opened up the Messaging app and clicked on a contact when all the elements haven't fully loaded.

If you simply look at the "Send Message To:" text box you could prevent this problem.

And, Google has stated they're working on a fix and it should be released soon. It'll be up to the networks and manufacturers to integrate them (Samsung -> TouchWiz) into their ROMs.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jconway:
There are many reputable sites talking about this very issues. The fact that google has sent out information saying they are addressing the issues lets you know it is one. Not sure how many peopel it affects. The post above mine gives a great explanation.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sitlet:
My evo does this all the time, to some extent. It doesnt SEND to the wrong person, but when I click a person's thread in the messaging app, sometimes it wont go to that person's thread, and go to someone completely random. So if I dont look to make sure im texting the person I want to, it could go to someone else.

is there any way to get this to happen?

[Dash 3G, Snap General] Hakim Rahman:
you just do it some registry tweaks to set the backlight for save battery during active gps

- AcTimeout = 60

- AutoSensor = 1

- BatteryBacklight = 40

- BatteryTimeout = 15

- m_ACTimeout = 0

- m_BatteryTimeout = 0

or you can use this :)

extract backlight.zip to Windows folder

thank you for the dll. it works great to turn the back light off but I can not get the back light to come back on with out restarting the device

am I missing something?

what I really need is the back light to go of when I key lock the phone then back on when its unlocked. or some other similer way to control it.

maybe bound to a key to turn back light back on.

thank you for your efforts

[Dash 3G, Snap General] Hakim Rahman:
just use the Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3

[EVO 4G General] lyrical1278:
I'm lost, what did you all expect? They said it was a straight port. Now it just seems like you all are complaining just to be complaining.

All ya gotta do is stop and think, this was another way for them to capitalize on the popularity of the game itself. Sony, outside of Ninty, offers Rovio the best chances at as many people as they can. So they created a mini out of it. Minis are meant for the PSP. Except Sony made it where minis can play on the PS3 also.

I expect to see them create a Wii/DS version in the near future. Max penetration is the business model for this game.

(and yes, it does look better on my Evo just like it looks just as good on the PSP. Looks stretched on my PS3 with HDMI
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Even if it's a port, which it is, that doesn't mean it needs to be so...poorly done.

The graphics should have been done so it at least looks good.

When it looks better on my Evo over a brand new 50" 1080p 2010 TV, that's a just plain silly.
[EVO 4G General] Ruki_Uki:
I never read anything about it before it came to the PS3. And its the first mini I bought. It would be awesome to see Nintendo come out with a full future game. Even better if they let us make our own birds, levels, and share them online for others to play :)

[EVO 4G General] bronxknight28:
Well if you play any mini on A PS3 you will see that it looks craptascular, because of the fact that its for PSP, They should have left minis only playable on PSP sheesh.
[EVO 4G General] postwick:
if they redo the graphics then it's not a port. the fact that it's a port says "we just took the game and made it run on the other system without changing anything."
[EVO 4G General] lyrical1278:
Basically. it's not like other games that are re released on the PS3 where the main sales pitch would've been ENHANCED GRAPHICS!!!! They never said that so I KNEW what to expect. A mini that is playable on the PS3.

I'm NOT defending the game one bit. I just think the whole complaint is DUMB. Rovio said it would be ONLY a port. I bet if any of you played it on the PSP, then you wouldn't complain as much because it would look JUST like it does on our phones. The stretching of the visuals is what messes it up.
[Fascinate General] shaddowdemon:
Hello!

My main question is: where are the settings stored? I've done some research, and there is apparently supposed to be a file called settings.db on android phones... but mine doesn't have one o.O

I was locked out of my phone because of the pattern lock screen, and it will not accept my gmail user name and password. It immediately fails when I submit the info, and I am positive it is correct. A common solution to this problem is to change some variables in settings.db (for different phones).

To find all .db files, I used: find / -name "*.db" -print

I can boot into clockwork recovery and connect with adb...

Thanks in advance!
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Are you running the command as root? The default user doesn't have read access to all directories on the phone, and it's likely the file is in one of those directories.
[Fascinate General] shaddowdemon:
I believe so. I have a # for the prompt.
[Fascinate General] shaddowdemon:
Ah, after many hours, I have fixed my problem. Since it's possible someone else may find this thread, I'll explain what I did. Basically, the datadata folder is not auto-mounted. I noticed this when I was doing a nandroid backup... so, I mounted it, and my problems were solved :D

First, I used adb to pull /etc/fstab. In fstab, you can view the device location that is usually mounted for the datadata folder (open it in notepad or wordpad or something).

After that, I used adb -d shell and mounted the device.

I forget the name of the block file, but the syntax of the command to mount devices is:

mount <block_device_location> /datadata

Come to think of it, "mount /datadata" might have also worked.

After that, I was able to find the settings.db file in the datadata/databases folder and edit a setting in it to remove the permanent lock using the "sqlite browser". The variable to change is obvious (it has permanent lockout in the name) and it needs to be changed from a 1 to a 0.

[Droid 2 General] gammaxgoblin:
How "relevant" are quadrant scores. I've used several roms, 2 versions of fission and gummy and the most recent squidly. When running at 1.3Ghz i got scores over 2300 with squidly but usually in the 1600-1800 range with fission and gummy. I dont notice any great difference in responsiveness and usability as far as speed goes between all 3. I had read in a post that squidlys rom registers inaccurately high in quadrant scores. What the deal?
[Droid 2 General] Quacker:
Squidly probably has Stagefright enabled by default in the build.prop, which inflates the quadrant score.
[Droid 2 General] gammaxgoblin:
forgive my noobiocity. stagefright replaced opencore yes? if so is it being enabled causing a performance increase or is quadrant unable to process the results correctly because stagefright is enabled?
[Droid 2 General] Quacker:
My understanding is that having Stagefright enabled causes a significant performance boost in one of the video decoding Quadrant tests (h.264 video?), so the score is basically inflated artificially. In this sense, it's not an error in processing the results, but rather the score is misleading.
