This place is AWESOME!

I just wanted to say what a truly helpful and inspiring place this is. I just got this evo shift 4g with 2.3.3 upgrade about a month ago and was trying to figure out some shortcuts when I stumbled onto this site. I started reading the posts and started to learn a bit about android, what root, rom, kernel, sdk platform, adb, etc meant and one day I jumped in. From the instructions and other great info on this site in the last two weeks I have been able to temp root, downgrade hboot, perm root, upgrade hboot back to 2.3.3 install and use apps like clockworkmod, titanium back up and other stuff. I just wish there was something I could do about my phone signal and speed besides the proxy adjustments to 0. Oh yea I was also able to flash 1.08 radio back after downgrade, didn't seem to help much though. Anyway thanks for the great awakening into the world of android smart phones. Next I might think about some custom roms, kernels after I do some more research. You guys and gals on XDA are the best!!

yes you need to downgrade to shiftRR since its only for 2.2 We have a executable in the general and you also have the bullet 3.0 to use. Both are good

[Android Themes] SkateEmerica987:
With the atk app there is a widget you can place on the home screen that when pressed, instantly kills the active apps. The problem is, its kind of small and looks out of place with my theme, but I cant seem to find a way to change it. I'd like to be able to use a custom icon with desktop visualizer or something to be able to activate the widget's functions, but I can't figure it out.

ps, I don't want this to turn into a debate about whether or not to use a task killer, try to stay on topic.
[Android Themes] lswagerty:
You really don't need an app..... joking.

I've REALLY been wanting to know this as well. Likewise, it does not fit my theme or icons at all. It's the only out of place icon throughout all my homescreens.
[Android Themes] cianshortt:
I am also trying to do this, so I should probably add to the list of people and hopefully someone has a solution.

I'm using ADW and tried the custom shortcut but I can't find the activity that carries out what the widget does.

Any of the task manager activities just bring me into the app, rather than a direct autokill.

Also, I don't know if there is an android system activity for it, because I can't seem to find that either.

That's all I can contribute from my efforts anyway..
[Android Themes] Pneuma1985:
you'd have to do an adb decomile or winrar whatever then change the icon for the widget and resign the file. there are already versions floating around where people have done this already do some looking around...
[Android Themes] cianshortt:
Really? I've searched and came up with nothing, just back to here really, or other people asking the same thing..

If you had a link then that'd be handy, if not then thanks for the hint on a starting point..
[Android Themes] ЯRockstar:

[Android Themes] cianshortt:

[Android Themes] ЯRockstar:
Yes,man!I already did different icons for widget actions!
[Android Themes] keith.mcintyre26:
I've done this before. All you need to do is rename the .apk to .zip and open it in your PC. Navigate to the icon image, replace with yours, rename the zip to apk push it to /system/app, fix permissions... dunsky.
[Android Themes] cianshortt:
I never thought of that, I'll do that now..

And while you're here, you might know..

since you can't put a widget in a dock bar, is there way to assign the same widget function to a desktop shortcut?

Similar to the activities in adw launcher..

I figured out how to do it thanks to keith, but thanks for your help anyway, at least this way saves you the hassle

[Epic 4G General] lightsedge:
Sometimes my phone will get very unresponsive such that any action takes many seconds to show up, and everything is very choppy. Often I see this when I wake up in the morning, but it happens often enough in general. It's so bad that I can't shut it down normally because it would take over 10 min (I've actually never waited to see exactly how long it would take). Thankfully I just found out about the three finger reset (volume up, camera, power), so I shouldn't have to pull the battery anymore, but it's still a problem.

I don't remember this happening before using custom roms. It happens with both DK28 roms I've tried - Bonsai and Viper. I believe it also occurred on the 2.1 Epic Experience, although I'm not sure. I guess I should try flashing to DK28 stock to see if that works, but it's a pain to set up everything each time. I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone else has had this problem and found a way to fix it. Also, I have a feeling this could be related to WiFi being turned on, but can't confirm yet.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
My phone was stuttering yesterday.

But that was only after installing smartbench and using theonscreen keyboard.

However, since I've upgraded to dk28, the phone does take (relatively) forever to shutdown.

It'll go black but the bottom lights would still be on and then like a minute or two later it vibrates and actually cuts off
[Epic 4G General] akmolloy:
When my phone does this, it reminds me that I like to have SeePU installed. It's pretty useful in pointing out the apps that are hogging CPU and most likely slowing down your phone.

For me it's often Touchdown, and I kill it and things are back to normal.
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
I have found a few things that are useful. When I need to reboot my phone I use quick boot from the market. Works every time. In between I use fast reboot also from the market. Try them and see how they work.
[Epic 4G General] lightsedge:
Thanks for the app suggestions. I like the taskbar icons for SeePU. It's always been useful on my Mac (stats from iStat). Quick Boot makes things easier as well.

Next time my phone hangs, I'll see if some process is taking 100% CPU.
[Epic 4G General] lightsedge:
The phone hung again, and it seemed like something was taking 100% CPU, if the taskbar SeePU icon is to be trusted. I wasn't able to figure out what the culprit was though, because the phone pretty much stopped responding. Otherwise I would have loaded Android System Info to check.
[Epic 4G General] nvertigo:
can the epic 4g run this lag fix? if not, do we have any other ways to fix the lag?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=784691

edit: nvm
[Epic 4G General] lightsedge:
So I was able to view Android System Info while my phone was hanging, but it did now show any processes taking 100% CPU, although the total CPU usage was 100%. My guess then is that the Android 2.2 OS is buggy.

However, I did find people who said leaving USB debugging on would fix it, so I'm going to try that.

[Epic 4G General] lightsedge:
My phone hasn't hung for a while, so apparently enabling USB debugging prevents the hang / lag / crash / 100% CPU. Weird but I'm glad it works :D

Now the only problem is kswapd0 eating CPU sometimes. I think this is caused by lack of memory, but I'm not sure what I can do about it.

I might be going to ATT pretty soon, if I do, I have a choice to make. They have a new phone coming out soon called the inspire, essentially the evo for ATT.

So I can wait until it comes out and give it a shot, or I can go with the Iphone since I've always wanted to try it out

Hands down best phone on att, spec wise.

And I hate moto.
[Epic 4G General] Seanc13:
I love android too, but I would really like to try the Iphone, never know, I may like it once I use xda's iphone site to do what I'd like
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Then go for it :)

Its a lot simpler than android and its a lot less buggy.

But it is noticeably smaller...my sisters iPhone4 is soooooooo tiny in my hands lol also, the camera is nice on the iphone 4.

If you've ever had an ipod touch, then its that same experience sans the phone lol
[Epic 4G General] Seanc13:
Yea, I've got a touch and I love it, only problem, I'm stuck on this keyboard, I love the epic's keyboard, however the iphone does have great on screen software
[Epic 4G General] S0ckM0nk3y:
I give you 14 days after you switch and you will come back to the darkside lol. From what I've heard from friends who all went to AT&T because of the iphone is that their service is absolutely terrible. Wished that they had never switched. But to each is own. Good luck with your future endeavors.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
If you plan on going on at&t get the iphone. The iphone is great for hacking and you'll have less trouble breaking it when you do. I mean, once you jailbreak it, you're pretty much set on the idea of it getting bricked. I had a jailbroken ipod touch, and it was great. Never had a problem at all.

And reverting back is so simple; you just have to update it on itunes!
[Epic 4G General] S0ckM0nk3y:
<-----------off topic

So that's how you revert lol. I never knew that.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Its really that easy? Lol

Abyways yeah just go with the iphone. It just works.

But if you have an ipod touch...I don't see the reasoning behind this lol

Also, yeah I always thought people were exagerating about atts network, but I'm always hearing my sister shout "UGH MY SIGNAL DIED!"

Also, another complaint she likes to yell when people call her is "MY MINUTES!!!!! Text me!!!!!"
[Epic 4G General] bigmcq77:
I would not get the iPhone 4 at this point. The iPhone is due for an update this summer, so you might as well wait for the iPhone "5" then. IMO, Odin is as easy to restore as iTunes is, just a little more complicated at first glance. Also, if you are in to jailbreaking(rooting essentially)/unlocking your iPhone when you get it, you will have to be very knowledgable with terminology, like "tethered, baseband unlock (if you want that), SHSH, etc." iTunes makes it *very* easy to update your phones firmware, which can be a bad thing if you are into jailbreaking. An accidental update may keep you un-jailbroken/carrier-locked until a new exploit/tool is released.

I suggest educating yourself with the estimated release of the iPhone 5, and everything to do with jailbreaking/unlocking. Enjoy.

[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:

[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Oh yeah, one negative about the iphone is their network sucks, and there is no unlimited plan. If you decide to get an iphone, switch to verizon.

They have an unlimited plan, better network, wayy better phones (in my opinion) and its cheaper!
[Epic 4G General] Seanc13:
Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not switcing becase I want the iphone, my dad is considering bundling our services and adding att wirelss because we have evrything with them except cell service, the iphone is just one of the phones I am considering if we do switch
[Epic 4G General] kgbcapthowdy:
verizon hasnt actually said whether or not they will have the same data plans or if it will end up different.

[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:

There's no reason to own both lol.

If you sell the ipod, then I don't see why not, but asit stands that'd be a waste of a subsidized phone lol
[Epic 4G General] Seanc13:
I don't use it for anything but music, it was a christmas gift so I haven't really used it other than that and hadn't really planned to
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
There is no reason to own both an iphone and a touch. They are the exact same device, except the iphone has a 3g radio. If you are a power user you will immediately be annoyed with the iphone, as there are a million and a half different annoyances that come with any iOS device.

If I had to recommend a phone for AT&T, it would be the Motorola Atrix hands down. Not out yet, but the most promising phone of the year unveiled so far.
[Epic 4G General] wjsmaggle:
Although I really like the iPhone I prefer Android hands down. I like the customization and widgets. Both are such small things that make such a huge difference for me. And after seeing the Atrix, I'd be ridiculously jealous of you with that phone. You'd be the envy of everyone I feel.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Why are you going to ATT? And if you are you need to wait for the moto Atrix. It will be the best phone on the market period and you will regret any phone you purchase on ATT that is not an atrix.

I had Verizon a number of years ago, and left them as soon as my contract was up to return to (at the time) Nextel. Vowed never again would I remotely consider Verizon, and will ALWAYS recommend against them. Mid last year, a friend of mine switched away from AT&T to Sprint (and also has an Epic) and has been super happy with the move; Bill cut in half, better coverage, less dropped calls, 4G... I'd recommend staying with sprint, but to each their own :).

[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
The Atrix. Tegra 2 (next-gen) processor and a ridiculous set of features. I can't imagine why someone would recommend the iPhone 4 when a phone like the Atrix is an option. I suppose if you REALLY need your iOS operating system but that's about it.
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
I learned that as well over this Chrimstas holiday actually with my roomate's...

I wouldn't go with an iPhone though. If you have any appreciation for android and the sheer power of what you can do with these you will find the iPhone limiting and irritating.

I'd honestly suggest waiting for the Moto Atrix.... I'd consider a Captivate too just because I fell in love with them on day-1 but ended up going to Sprint for my Galaxy S goodness (from centennial, att's recent purchase)
[Epic 4G General] swanysto:
I had the iPhone 3gs for a while. What bugged me the most was the service. At that time I wasn't really into jail breaking and such. I remember wanting to throw my phone at the wall cause I would get dropped calls, or the internet would crawl, even though I knew it wasn't the phone's fault.

Being on Sprint or Verizon is like night and day for me. I am guessing that is not an option for you since your family is changing to ATT. Unless you can wait for the Atrix, I would suggest the iPhone, cause the rest of the ATT android line is not so great.
[Epic 4G General] Seanc13:
Yea I want the atrix but like I said earlier I don't get 4g here or use it when abailable so I don't want to pay for something I never use

For example, I was trying to connect a friend's new Captivate to his Mac to transfer some music over to his SD card...I couldn't get the Mac to recognize the fact that I had an Android is USB mass storage mode.

I hate Apple, personally. They are so close-minded and micromanaging...it frustrates the living hell out of me.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Att doesn't have 4g yet...its hspa+ which is just enhanced (albeit REAL fast) 3g. There's no seperate charge because the phones automatically switch to hspa+ where available and then lowers to regular 3g if that's all that's around.

Its the same for tmobile.

Sprint and verizon are using completely new technologies.
