[Epic 4G General] notoriouspyro:
Yes... But then you are going to have the other "10%" *****ing that 4g was left out. You'd be piecing something together for the sake of well... Not too sure what exactly you'd be piecing it together for. There are already a hell of a lotta existing roms out from fantastic Devs that do everything that the rom is capable of doing sans overclock, battery life and a few extras without leaving out a primary function of the phone Just cuz it's not currently available to everyone doesn't mean that it's not a function that can be removed for the fun of it. IMO we'd be taking a huge step backward.
[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
Not being able to overclock and undervolt to me is a huge step backward. Truthfully, for me, (cause I have 4g in my area) I'm torn between the two. The ONLY reason I don't just go back to 2.1 is because of the hardcoded gps accuracy.

cd's or tapes?
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Just because you don't doesn't mean no one has it.
[Epic 4G General] kynetx:
I have it and it's no faster than 3g.
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
Those 10% need to realize how hard this stuff actually is an accept it. Some with 4g would be willing to sacrifice the speeds for phone improvements.
[Epic 4G General] dcowboys2184:
Lol I have wifi and I really don't use my phone much when I'm out... But it would be nice to experience it... They testing it out here in phoenix but in a very small area
[Epic 4G General] abrognlie:
Weird. When I was in the LA area around New Year's, I was able to use 4G for a while and also tethered my wife's laptop with it, and I thought it was way faster than my 3G speeds. Maybe you have a bad connection?
[Epic 4G General] CJNYC:
I call BS on this statement. I'm in NYC, the most difficult market in the US for good data speeds due to network congestion, and 4G is consistently, at minimum, 10x the speed of 3G. Not to mention latencly is usually 90% less.
[Epic 4G General] houkah:
Maybe not for you. For me it's 4 - 7mbps down and 1.5 up. My 3g is in the neighborhood of 300 Kbps down and up. Huge difference.
[Epic 4G General] smoothone:
You are full of ****! Go troll somewhere else. Anyone who has 4g knows that is a false statement. Saying that the difference is night and day would be an understatement!
[Epic 4G General] themirthfulswami:
I have poor 4g coverage at home but when I'm about 10-15 miles west of here I pick up strong 4g from Philadelphia. It blazing compared to 3g.. especially upstream speeds. I had pics uploading to Facebook in the blink of an eye.
[Epic 4G General] dwd3885:
When I have 4G, I usually get 6-9mbps down. I even got 4G deep inside a school building yesterday with my Epic. It was very cool. Didn't have 3G at all, but the WiMAX signal was strong and I got 8mbps down on a speed test.

4G is for real.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtripnic:
Hi, xda has been an invaluable lurking resource for me. I ran into some issues with my bootloader while trying to unroot in an attempt to return my phone to sprint due to a hardware problem, so I thought I would try to get some help here.

I mistakenly ran an outdated PC36IMG file and ended up having two major issues:

1) Recovery does not load, when I try to get to it from HBOOT I get stuck indefinitely on the white HTC EVO 4g screen.

2) Any PC36IMG file I attempt to run from an sdcard loads fine and sits there for about 30 seconds being checked before bringing me back to the HBOOT screen without a prompt to flash it.

I've attempted using 3 different SD cards, none of them works. I've tried four different PC36IMG files, none of them works either. The only exception occurs when I try to use the original PC36IMG file (the one that screwed it all up for me), after checking it, HBOOT says: "Update Fail! Main version is older".

I did find an archived thread here (http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-730808.html) where the OP was having what seems like the exact same problem as me (not sure about the recovery not working though). S/he ended up solving it by "installing the latest version of the RUU". I would like to attempt the same thing in hopes that it would resolve this.

A) Where could I get the latest RUU?

B) As I understand, the only way I could run an RUU is from the recovery->flash from sd option. Is that correct?

Thanks for any input/suggestions!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fazulka:
All the RUUs are in THIS thread.

You run them on your computer with the phone hooked up via usb. do not mount SD card.

I never did it on EVO, but from what I understand you may have to try several times before it completely works.

i own a dell venue pro. i want to trick the device to think that it is a HTC so that I can use all these tricks thats available to the HD2.

Can anyone think of a way that I can deploy an XAP?

I have to replace custclear somehow and run HTC connection setup. But HTC-Connection recognizes that my phone is not an HTC thus i cant progress. Anyone?

I have a rooted Evo running Cyanogen 7. I also have Rom Manager installed. I would like to use The stock sprint VVM. I put the voicemail.zip that I obtained from one of the forums onto my sd card and attempted to flash in recovery and i got an error message stating that it aborted. So then I tried to flash via Rom Manager and I dont have the voicemail icon on my phone. Can someone help me please. I hope I posted this in the correct forum. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
Voicemail.zip? Are you trying to flash it from recovery? Because what you need is the vvm.apk

I would post it for you but I'm not home....but I am sure you can find it via search....let me know if you need more help....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datcatlv:
Thank you I will look for that file and get back with you. I really appreciate the response.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datcatlv:
ok I got the VVM installed on my phone now. The problem I have now is that it is saying that I have a voicemail waiting but it cant be downloaded. Also I am getting that stupid 9016 text message as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
The vm that can't be downloaded can be retrieved by dialing 1 from your dialer....you also want to go into call settings and change your vm # from *86 to your actual number....

As far as 9016, that is built into aosp ....you could blacklist that number with handcent, if you use it, however, I have noticed that handcent sometimes takes it upon itself to blacklist numbers you didn't choose.....so you may want to go into privacy and tap on show blacklist if you notice you aren't getting messages on occasion
[Fascinate General] roccos_van:
The market issue is fixed, it had nothing to do with your instructions, I have a bad imei and simply had to force stop a few market related apps, clear data and cache then reboot.

You should also update your post as user supercurio released a custom t959d kernel today with clockwork and voodoo.

Now we can flash roms for i9000 or t959 with no issues.
[Fascinate General] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
just my luck. spend 9 hours posting then supercurio posts a kernel.. lmao. o well. if your looking for a overclocked undervolted phone, follow this post
[Fascinate General] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
ill b updating my post to include instructions on flashing stock 2morop morning when i got some free time

EDIT: so i think my battery is finally syncedup properly. i have no task killers with the above setup. Charged my phone yesterday at 1pm. Its now 7:30am the next day and i have 51 percent left
[Fascinate General] roccos_van:
You did a good job with the post.

I think when you add the supercurio modded stock kernel it will be fairly complete.
[Fascinate General] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
i was just in the shower with my phone playing music on the counter and it stopped playing. i jumpedout to see wtf was going on. the lockscreen just magically appeared saying sim card removed reboot phone. seems to be working now but fuk it. thats too messed up 4 me. imma re edit this thread to include the telus voodoo stock so no1 gets the same issues im hjaving. overclock undervolt or not, i hate glitches.

Im thinking ill return to stock and start from scratch. Should i make a video showing complete installation? i think so :)
[Fascinate General] roccos_van:
Try the stock voodoo kernel first...i don't know if you should disable lag fix first but I would just in case.
[Fascinate General] spydr11:
Thanks for the tip, my market stopped working today, cleared data and cache, rebooted and now I'm back in action!
[Fascinate General] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
well headsup telus users. i flashed axura on my fascinate and it completely bricked my phone. wont turn on. no recovery no download mode. i tihnk im screwed
[Fascinate General] roccos_van:
Oh man...that sucks...did you disable voodoo before flashing? You have a one year warranty take it back.
[Fascinate General] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
i did disable voodoo. dunno y it bricked. i went to the future shop i got it from, lied and said i flashed official froyo from kies and it wouldnt start afterward. They checked my account. turns out i was 3 days late on my replacement policy fee so i have 2 wait 3 business days with a paper weight phone until it goes through b4 they can replace it for me. but on the brightside, my buddy who works the cell area said when i get my replacement, if the same thing happens he has to give me the telus phone of my choice. SOO. if the htc desire hd does come to telus, i can purposely brick my phone, say froyo did it, and get the desire hd for free. although i dont know much about htc, ive heard they r the best android brand around. u got any info on htc at all rocco? all i know is sense looks sexier then any rom ive seen thus far including every differenty model rom ive seen on youtube. imma post a new thread warning t959d users to beware on flashing roms until there propp[erly ported to our phone. cause as u can see in the above post, i know what i was doing. wasnt like i just fukedup and forgot something. i had nero v5 running with the supercurio stock voodoo kernel last night but it felt like it was hiccuping after i enabled the lagfix so i decided to go back to stock and try other roms. from what i heard, axura is the best of the best for vibrant roms. so i flashed to stock with odin. added the new kerne; thru odin, let the lagfix install, rebooted into recovery, disabled the lagifx, system lagfix and debug. rebooted. let the lagfix uninstall. copied the zip to my interna; sdcard, rebooted into recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik then chose the zip. it installed properly. i clicked reboot phone then it turned off. and that was that. question is is there anyway to use slp to open your phone and try and reset it or is it bricked and am i without a phohe till next wednesday?
[Fascinate General] roccos_van:
The only thing I can say is keep trying to get it into download mode? I had an HTC desire, I just sold it on ebay, and have the cash waiting for the Desire HD...so yeah, the HTC stuff is real nice. It's being released at TELUS on feb 10, for $499.
[Fascinate General] daoom:
Best way I've found to avoid this is to unzip the ROM and take a look at the update script to see exactly what it's flashing. Some custom ROMs flash more then just the kernel and modem and modify things like the boot.bin, which is almost sure to brick your phone if it's not compatible.
[Fascinate General] samperlmutar:
To all Telus Fascinate T959D users, I have posted a complete guide to installing custom Vibrant ROM's.

The guide shows you how to install any ROM for the T-Mobile Vibrant (I prefer Team Whiskey's Nero 5), then flash a custom Telus Fascinate kernel with Voodoo and CWR built-in, and then finally flashing the stock Telus Fascinate JL3 modem.

This will leave you with a 100% functioning (yes, flawless) custom ROM on your Fascinate.

The reason I posted the guide, despite this one already existing, is that it doesn't require you to sacrifice certain functionality. The guide I have posted is only for flashing Vibrant ROMs, and uses supercurio's newly released T959D Stock+Voodoo kernel that is built on the Telus one, so everything works.
[Fascinate General] jamckee:
Themes

So I just followed samperlmutar's guide and installed the nero v5 rom. My question is now I'm having problems applying themes for Nero v5. I followed instructions to the T on the theme pages in the Vibrant section but it says it is not compatible. Anyone know if Vibrant Nero v5 themes will work on a Telus Fascinate?

crap

I have an issue. Everything was going great Step 1 complete. Step 2 the download was deleted from rapidshare. so I googled and downloaded the file from dl.project-voodoo.org

It failed. now the phone boots but only to a screen with a phone icon and a computer icon with a warning icon. so it wont boot, it wont connect to the pc and wont hard reset.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palkalocka:
Looking for input on a ROM with no phone function or a way to disable the phone function(no sim) to just simply use with Garmin Mobile XT. Something that boots up extremely fast with no function except auto execute the Garmin would be ideal.

Any Ideas?

Battery Issue:

BTW: The reason for this is the phone is completely useless as a normal phone because the battery only lasts a few hours. I actually get better battery life booting android. The battery heats up the entire phone and the current draw is 400-600 idle. When charging the light never turns green for fully charged thought booting up it will say 98% before it starts plummeting. I have tried multiple batteries and multiple ROMs with the same result so I figured I would just use it as a GPS plugged into my car with the Garmin Software. If anyone has any incite on this that would be great too. Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyis:
Don't think someone would cook such a rom.

But you always turn off the phone in wireless control, switch off manila (having nothing in today boot up in around 48s) and put garmin.ink to StartUp folder.

By the way i think your battery is dead, mine can standby for around 3days/around 3-4 hours of talk time for a full charge.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathero:
hi guys,

I have a serious problem right now. I flashed an ENG SPL previously. After which I flashed back the original hboot which i got from the rom.zip i extracted from shipped-rom. Now the phone is dead. I cant power on, cant go into recovery, cant go into fastboot. The only thing I can detect is Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM when I connect the phone to the laptop.

I found a solution to restore using QDLTool, however, it seems that is for Dell Streak. Anybody tried that for Desire Z?
[General Questions and Answers] Naruto8u:
hi. my phone message center is grey out. i fixed that after searching and doing root explorer and xml file edit and placing it back into it directory. it work w/o reboot. However the problem is that when i do reboot or restart my phone, the message center goes back to blank and grey out still. How do i keep the xml that i edited from re-fixing itself? it delete my message center number that i put in. everytime it boot up. Running on Nero v5 fwiw. much appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] Michael_robert:
Hi,

Initially, the simple solution:

Messaging -> Settings -> Restore default settings

I’m sure the Message Center was no longer grayed. But if the problem doesn’t get fixed then you have to edit the internal xml file.

You need a XML editor to fix this issue. For testing and verification of the file, I recommend Visual Studio as an editor. I recommend “Root Explorer” to browse the phone, and then browse to the file:

“/dbdata/databases/com.android.mms/shared_prefs/com.android.mms_preferences.xml”

Copy it into “sdcard” so you can see/edit it from your PC.

Find the key named "pref_key_manage_smsc_address" (at the bottom)

Change it from Not Set to 11111111111 (write the correct number of your network provider)

Then copy this file again on the “sdcard” to transfer it in the mobile.

It is better to take a backup of the original file and then overwrite the new editable file in the mobile.
[General Questions and Answers] Naruto8u:
I'm sorry but i did the about steps already. the 2nd step work but as i said in my post. the message center number get wipe and reset to "no set" after a reboot. the phone rewrite the xml i replace or something when i reboot my phone.
[Venue Pro General] Mann_Kel:
Hi everyone.

I want to set up a list of test parameters so we can determine if our batteries are performing differently regardless of network.

I think we should run the test with airplane mode on (bluetooth and wifi also off) and location off. Then use the zune player with music and determine how long the phone lasts. Let me know if there should be some changes to this.
[Venue Pro General] Mann_Kel:
We should probably include a standard volume setting how about 15 without headphones?
[Venue Pro General] jessej:
I was able to get 8+ hours of music over headphones from my phone no problems today. This was with the occasional text message, wifi off some email reading and a couple updates in the marketplace.

Hi all. I've been looking into developing and such for android and most of the stuff and guides out there are for Windows. Is developing a ROM for my phone, the DX, possible on a mac? And how much of a pain in the butt would it be?

Hey everyone, I've spent the last hour or so decompiling and stuff to Settings.apk and have found the solution to adding "Mod version" to the "About phone" section of our phones!

Recompile Settings.apk with the changes in the source below. Then, add to /system/build.prop:

ro.modversion=[your ROM name]

EDIT: To anybody that applied this fix before 2011.01.20, please recompile your Settings.apk with the new fix that'll display "ro.modversion" correctly.
[Vibrant Android Development] MWBehr:
Well, I'm a little bored. What the hell.
[Vibrant Android Development] kaizasoshi:

System/build.prop, you can edit the Mod info from there.
[Vibrant Android Development] ndwgs:
Nice...

What would be the use of this, i wonder...
[Vibrant Android Development] smackdown85146:
But to display it in Settings, you need to edit a few things.
[Vibrant Android Development] smackdown85146:
And it's mostly for developers to use so they can display which version of their ROM people are running.
[Vibrant Android Development] MWBehr:
Sorry it took a sec, had to add a couple lines to your strings that weren't there for it to recompile. Unfortunately nothing new is appearing in "About Phone".

Alright, thanks bro! Looks like I've got just a little bit more to do.

[Vibrant Android Development] MWBehr:
Oh good, I was worried you were going to waste a bunch of time screwing around with it some more :D
[Vibrant Android Development] smackdown85146:
Hahaha well I was trying to find out why. But do you mind posting what you changed so I can add it to the source and update the OP?
[Vibrant Android Development] MWBehr:
Well it's just a couple lines for a lockscreen mod at the end of strings.xml:

<string name="lock_screen">Unlock screen</string>
<string name="lock_screen_summary">Glass unlock will be shown when the device is locked</string>

This will probably be true for any custom rom, but stock roms will probably get by without changing anything.
