Ok well about root via adb, im on my phone on xda app, so I dont know how to put links on here, but first you need to figure out what hboot ver. you have.

If you have 2.02 or 2.10

Look in the evo development section until you find Zikronix post about root 2.02 2.10.

His is an adb version of root.

Now his method has worked on these new hboots, but im no expert, but from the posts in his thread as long as you do the steps exactly, it will work.

Ifyou have an hboot lower than that. Go to djr3z website thedroiddemos.com

And look for the rooting video for adb. I think there is two parts to it. This version downgrades you to android 2.1 and then roots and brings you back to a 2.2 rom. Th his was the original way to root 2.2 you had to downgrade.

Im not sure which one is "better" or more involved but they both work.

But as always rooting can hurt your phone, so be careful, and I couldnt help you if you do use adb to root, as I went the easy route and used.unrevoked.

Best bet if you run into problems pm the original authors of these threads

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
First off. I commend you on taking the time to read up on the process and do the research and coming back with intelligent questions.

About the PC36IMG.zip file information. AFAIK You can't take any file and do that. It needs to be packaged properly for that to work.

You have the HBOOT screen. From here you can flash almost anything IF it is correctly packaged in a PC36IMG.zip file. So you don't need a custom recovery. BUT you do want a custom recovery to do Nandroid Backups. Basically a snapshot of your phone at a certain point in time.

I can't say that most ROMs come with custom recoveries. However when you root, the PC36IMG file all of the root methods have you flash will install a custom recovery for you. Some are based on clockwork's recovery and others on Amon RA.

Unrevoked is the easiest way but I am not quite sure on what recovery it flashes for you.

You can keep a stock ROM and have wireless tethering. Deodex and Odex is just basically for custom theming of the ROM. Sprint Lovers does have 4G. It is a stock ROM with the bloatware still included and a few other things baked into the ROM. There are purely stock ROMs that are included in my sticky if you want to go with those.

As for wireless tethering, you can use it even on the stock ROOTED ROMs but you will have to test it to make sure it works. If it doesn't you will have to try another version of the application. Some ROMs will have it baked in and fully working.

There is no difference between flashing a ROM through bootloader or through a custom recovery. The majority of ROMs are flashed as a zip through custom recovery instead of a PC36IMG file so having a custom recovery is mostly required. I have yet to see someone rooted with a stock recovery.

You can have clockworks recovery and then switch to Amon RA or visa versa. Having one installed doesn't prevent you from flashing another one.

As for removing a custom recovery in the case you need to return the phone for warranty, it will automatically remove the recovery and return to the stock recovery once you unroot using the methods on these forums. So nothing to fear on this end.

Sorry if all of this was answered already. I really commend you on your research but its daunting to read through everything lol.

Feel free to send me a PM or gchat if you have any questions.

Are there any improvements that can be made with the DAC in the G2? I know there were a couple Samsung Galaxy S topics on improving the audio, but was wondering if there was anything similar for the G2.
[Defy General] martin.flory:
I've been trying for days to get the defy to work i want.

I listen to audiobooks, music and podcasts, and I need to be able to control it from the headset

I tried default player, google listen, winamp, doggcatcher. And cant get the thing to work right!! :mad:

Music+ doesn't even register the button press, listen resumes and skips to next track, even if you're playing another audio in the background. Winamp on its own is fine but does not download podcasts, and doggcatcher has conflicts with winamp on the headset thing.

Has anyone find a good solution for this? it seems just the way android is built, and the lack of a good unified media player (with or integrated with podcast manager).

Such a disappointment... I was so looking for having an android phone! If I can't find a solution, it seems its not for someone like me untill they integrate things a little more tightly.
[Defy General] JamesDax:
Well, it's not the Defy. And while I don't think that Android sucks at playing media I do agree with some of your points. I also listen to audio books and podcast. For the moment I'm using AudioBook Player 2 for audiobooks. It's not prefect by a long shot but it does the job. As for podcast I haven't found anything useful yet. The defaut player is suppose to play podcast but there is no way to skip through. If I have to stop listening to the podcast there is no way of getting back to were I left off. And while the device obviously play videos, and does so quite well, I haven't found any type of video player interface. The only way I can start a video is by going into the gallery and taping on the file I want to play. That dosen't seem right to me.

So yeah, I feel your frustration.
[Defy General] martin.flory:
Yes, sorry. I did not meant to bash, its just that I soo wanted to love it... and I don't, and if there is no good solution I think android is not for my for now. I don't know. It has so many great things!

Thanks for your suggestions I'll look into it.
[Defy General] geecko:
On another subject : When I listen to music, I can't do anything else (switching to landscape mode e.g.), otherwise it's really slow.

Is anybody else having that bug ? Some guy here mentioned it. But he then said he fixed it without having it deodexed. How do you fix this ? :(
[Defy General] heglen:
Meridian is a media player that does most of what you want, with the possible exceptin of podcasting (don´t use it, don´t know).

It remembers where you last listened to a track, and if you switch to video (which has a library of it´s own) it still remembers where in the audio track you were when you go back to that. So actually better than WMP there... ;-)

Only thing that grinds my gears with this is an annoying bug that starts a random track when I press the button on any wired headset. If I hang up a call, or if I want to pause and then start playing in Spotify or radio, Meridian starts playing a tune in the background. I thought it was a bug I was having with my Pulse, but it´s there with the Defy as well.

A BT headset has none of these issues though.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] naohdragon:
Hi to any kind souls out there!

I had just convert my HD2 phone into the Android OS.

I am aware that this phone is able to operate in dual os and i would like to enjoy this, but i can't.

I can't go back to Winmo. Restarting the phone with/without the SD card still brings me to the Android OS(therefore unable to boot to winmo to install JMZ dual boot).

Any help available?

I'm using NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9G NAND.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Sorry to tell you this but you should have done a little more reading about what you were doing,

before

you did it.

A NAND installation of Android completely wipes WM6.5 from your phone. What you should have been doing was running an SD build of Android (there's 2 different forums for HD2 Android ROMs).

All you can do now is to flash WM6.5 onto your phone again, and then put an SD build of Android on your SD card, if you do want dual boot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] naohdragon:
Hi!

it's ok.. i shld have done abit more research.. haha..

so if i want to do a dual boot i have to install the non NAND version say the nexushd2 V1.8? but another qn.. does the dual boot help in anyway? if it's not then i shall forget about it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Heh - thanks is right next to the quote button! So thanks for that :)

Anyway, I'm glad you're not bothered and can laugh about it. To be honest, if you're not bothered about WM6.5 then I'd just leave it as it is.

If you do want to dual boot then like I said, you'll need to get it back to WM6.5 first, before you think about Android. You can get WM6.5 ROMs here...

Oh wells, i have been tortured quite badly by this dual OS thingy. glad that you answered it for me and saving my time and brain cells.. Thanks! ok, good samaritan, a last help for me?! any ideas to where i could search and read up more about the themes for my phone? it's kinda boring and dull now!! haha!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
You'll need to get a new launcher if you want to start theming the phone. ADW Launcher is a popular choice (not my preferred launcher), and it can be themed. There's TONS of themes for it, both free and paid. The app is also free, but I believe there is a paid version with more features. All this is available on the Market.

Hope this helps mate :)

[Vibrant General] bartek25:
mkay here it is what to do disable in order to conserve some juice :

settings - sound - haptic feedback - uncheck

settings - dispaly - brightness off half way or less , go to web browser brightness and lower it also disable in browser settings location check

settings - location and security use gps - unchecked disabled

settings - account and sync - uncheck

settings - privacy - back up my date - uncheck

i also unchecked serchable items so my phone doesent even try to search anything else than web browser :p

next download zim launcher which doesent eat battery at all 1% in stand by .

Screenfilter is a next program that allows you to lower your screen brightness even more that stock alowes you which is nice on bettery too cause our screeen eat most of battery .

AutoStarts its a program that allows you to control apps startin when you boot your phone you can remove some to prevent them from startin when your phone boot

download systemAppRemover its a paid app but works well and lets you delete programs from system which u dont want/need and those programs most likely run in background eatin your battery ,for me those programs were .. remeber i dont use them so i didnt need them :

voice dail -deleted

voice search - deleted

ptt- deleted

wi fi callin - gone !

there is prolly like 5 more programs that i deleted just forgot what it was annd

if you dont need crap on your phone eating your battery % install bloat free OS . good luck

also make a shortcut for stock task manager to your home screen and hit clear ram or close programs once in some while .

you can save your battery also by downloading program called SETCPU and lower your cpu frequency from 1ghz to 800 or 600 it helps also , and if you run voodoo or any else moded kernel dont expect battery to lasst as long as stock too !

want to remove wi-fi callin aka battery hog download file below flash it with clockwork

also u can freezee programs with TITANIUM BACKUP instead of deleting them so if u need them for later use theyr all there .
[Vibrant General] TJBunch1228:
The only good recommendations you offered were to underclock and remove bloatware.

I'm not going to disable everything about my phone that makes it a smartphone. If I did that I would not have bought a smartphone.
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
I DIDNT TELL YOU TO DISABLE THINGS its your choice what you wouuld follow to conserve your battery thats what i do because i use my phone as mp3 so music is no1 thing so i dont need those things but they also helped save consumption of battery ,and as far as i see some people dont even know yet they can disable these features so im just breaking it down for some . if this thread is usles some one delete it ! p.s like when im in school and my phone starts to die i disable data so it saves life so i can put my headphones and use it as mp3 player
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Meh, I just have two spare batteries and a batt charger, so I run with everything on, full brightness. Even if my battery only lasts 8 hours, I just pop in a fresh one and I'm good. Like the other guy said, I don't see the point of buying a smartphone and then turning off everything that makes it useful or fun.
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
unlike me with one battery and 10 gig of music, u can go carry those liteon in ur pocket lol
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
The batts are pretty darn skinny. I can even put one in my wallet if I'm not carrying a bag.
[Vibrant General] intruda119:
Get a extended battery. Last me exactly 25 hrs of use. Or take 20sec with a spare change. How much life can yall expect witg a smart phone that doesnt sit all day.
[Vibrant General] shehrammajid:
ummmm...if your going to disable all that stuff, then why even have a smartphone?
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
when i need my phone to be smart i go and run it on demand meaniing go and enable it ! honestly `i dont think you need everything runnign in background so go at leatrs frezz it do at your own risk and its your choice to choose how long your phone will last today 4h or 20 , thats it ,i was just tryin to be helpful for those who dont know :)
[Vibrant General] TJBunch1228:
And if that works for your purposes, that's awesome. Thanks for the suggestions.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
I leave every thing on and really only use task manager to shut down background apps when not needed. I have a spare Battery....never used it...yet but, I have it

I run alot of stuff on this phone but only use the music player about 1/2 hr a day

I am getting 16-20 hrs on a charge.......... So it never has been an issue to me. I am kinda confused why people complain about the battery......... unless they are playing games and youtube all day or overclocking the phone....... the battery lasts just fine.........
[Vibrant General] megatherian:
why not just do one better and turn the phone off? Just turn it on when you need to do something. Battery life is AMAZING.

Personally, I just keep a charger / car charger handy.
[Vibrant General] JayDG:
To cut down on battery usage while maximizing speed is to have my processor overclocked and set up profiles to disallow overuse of processing power while my phone is not in use, and maximizing it while it is.

PS. You don't have to be overclocked. Just but setcpu and create profiles. For example: 1ghz max and 800ghz min default. Then a profile set for when the screen is off to use 800 max and 0 min.

I also use a task killer to minimize RAM usage.

[Vibrant General] bartek25:
bumpin this as of so cause im bored ;P
[Vibrant General] azzzz:
Thx for the tips. A couple I didn't know about. Like you, there are some features I never use and they are battery hogs. It's up to ppl to decide if they want to carry an extra battery or bulky extended battery but its always good to have options.

I'm might judy go crazy freezing everything up...lol
[Vibrant General] wearmaize:
Here's what I do...

- Uninstall bloatware

- Use SetCPU; underclock to 200 max, 100 min when screen is off, saves a ton of battery without affecting performance at all.

- Autokiller memory optimizer boosts speed and (supposedly) battery life and takes away the need for a task killer

And that's about it. I lose no performance and get good battery life.

I go 5 hours with my phone unplugged with light to moderate usage (text and email) and my battery drops only about 10%. I leave the phone on standby for 24 hours without using it and battery drops about 2%.

:)
[Vibrant General] regP:
I believe android already scales the cpu to 100mhz when the phone idle so you dont need set that in setcpu.
[Vibrant General] wearmaize:
Does it? Because when using Setcpu and underclocking with the screen off, there's a slight lag when "sliding to unlock" but none when I disable the profile, leading me to believe that there is a difference.

I honestly have no clue as to whether the OS does this by default, however. That's just what I noticed.
[Vibrant General] eunkipark92:
Set it to 200/200 no lag. There is almost no difference(in battery use) between 100mhz and 200mhz so just set it at 200min 200max for screen off :p
[Vibrant General] Stevenjcarney:
14 bucks and I got an extended battery. Best decision ever, seriously. I'm sitting at about 12 hours unplugged, and still have 38% left. Battery left is estimating 8 hours left on this one charge. That's with heavy use. Music playing, web browsing, downloading apps, playing Angry Birds, posting to Facebook, Google Reader syncing. Seriously, just spend the 14 bucks and save all the trouble of disabling stuff.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerchess:
I just installed CM7 and I really want the HTC radio application. I found a version online on andriod forums and it keeps force closing. Are there any alternative programs that can be used that do not need a connection to the internet like the app by HTC?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darius_bd:
.

The problem is that HTC uses proprietary code to make the fm radio hardware to work, so you wont see a CM ROM that has fm radio enabled, except in some devices where coders were able to figure it out, but is just for those devices (Nexus 1 and Desire, if I'm not wrong).

Bottom line, I dont think there'll ever be a FM Radio code in the Aria's ROMs. If you want radio, stick to Sense ROMs.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutshell69:

You have toinstall XMODDeployer.xap, that app will deploy the correct settings to change the phone into a HD7 to My Ringtones. Use TouchXplorer to copy those settings to the Windows-folder. Then run HTC Connection Wizard and it will pass everything and work like a charm.
