The iphone is nice but for me I would still pick Android. I like the customization, home screen widgets and it runs flash. Flash and the widgets are the big ones.
[Droid Incredible General] scriptdevil:
First things first. Comparing iPhone 4 to Dinc is like comparing apples to oranges. Iphone 4 is apples newest and greatest device. Dinc is not the latest or greatest android device. So it really will come down to personal opinion. IMO I would take the Dinc any day over the iPhone 4 or their next model for that matter.
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
No, no it's not. Apples to oranges would be comparing the Thunderbolt to the iPhone 4. Both phones are comparable, and of the current VZW offerings, the iPhone is most similar to the INC. Oh, and good for you on your choice.

You're Right There Is No iPhone Forum... :rolleyes:

I'm Not Saying The Camera Is The Worst Camera Ever, I'm Saying Its Sucks In Comparison To The iPhone's I Do Like The Camera On The DInc, But If I Was Given The Chance To Get The iPhone Camera Or Even Samsung Camera On It, I'd Take On Of Those..

BS Excuse? What Am I Using An Excuse For? The DInc Has External Memory Support And iPhone Does Not... Yes Thats Better, But The Port Is Still Sloppy, And Not Very Quick, It Works, And Works Great I Might Add, It's Just Not As Speedy As Other Devices.
[Droid Incredible General] Jes7er:
You Might Have A Faulty Unit. My Dinc Works Just As Well With A 32GB Card As It Does With A 2 GB Card. I Have No Problems With Speed.

Isn't It Obnoxious To Read When Someone Capitalizes All Of Their Words?
[Droid Incredible General] Erickomen27:
Mine Works Well With Up To 8GB's Anything After That The Speed Slows Dramatically..

And To Be Honest, I Didn't Even Notice Until You Said Something.
[Droid Incredible General] Jes7er:
Which is why I said that maybe you have a defective unit. It's not like Apple hasn't had any issues with defective units....

Also, I really wonder how long it takes you to type these messages.... or why you capitalize every word...
[Droid Incredible General] Erickomen27:
Maybe, Hmm Oh Well

Not Very Long, It's Just Habit, Back When I Had An iPod Video, I Had Thousands Of Songs, And I Had To Go Through Each One And Make It Look Clean, (So I Can Find It And A Little OCD) So It Just Stuck... It's A Horrible Habit.. It Takes Forever To Typy "Regular"

[Droid Incredible General] ejdavis72:
I am anxious to see your comparison of the two phones! I will be watching this thread to see! :D
[Droid Incredible General] johnchad14:
The real point here of having both is to evaluate aspects of the phones that go beyond raw stats. You should be thinking on usability tests and such... less so on storage and batteries and cameras. None of that stuff matters as much as the functional ease of the device. Of course it still comes down to opinion and user type to large degree... but I am curious how an inc user will adjust to iPhone. The relevance of the investigation to me depends on how you used your inc... so perhaps best to elaborate on that in comparisons.

Anyway... civility in opinions is always best

[Droid Incredible General] titans808:
I like my incredible. Sense or MIUI works great for me.
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
This is my idea. I am going to compare what it's like for me, a long time android user (not just droid incredible) to move to an iPhone. I've had a G1, a mytouch, a clix, a droid eris, a droid, a droid x and finally a droid incredible. I've been in love with Android for 3 years. What I want to see is if this love for Android was one of actual love, or just the desire to have a cheap clone of iOS (I use MIUI exclusively).

I may post a video comparison. Who knows? But for someone this might help, and that's why I am doing this. That and I like to talk...
[Droid Incredible General] ian1001:
i have a droid incredible, and i came from att with an iphone 4. i do love android(preordered a nexus one a year ago) but after having the iphone 4 i cant handle the incredibles battery life. the one problem ive aways had with htc is they have absolutely no idea how to manage the power usage of any of their phones. back from easily going a full day with the iphone 4 on heavy use, i barely make it a day with the inc and thats with all the little power tricks.point is, i hate having a phone like the incredible that is so awesome and has so many features but i have to disable them all to get through a day....
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
I felt the same way... HTC also has a lovely habit of putting small batteries in their phones...
[Droid Incredible General] Troy89:
I think at the moment all of the ios devices have better multimedia support. If it wasn't for the widgets and more importantly flash I would go for the iphone.

Also I think the DI got worse battery life after the 2.2 upgrade.
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
Just got my iPhone!!! I will begin the comparison tonight.
[Droid Incredible General] wu_forever:
^^^^Well Put
[Droid Incredible General] rrambo:
I recently switched from an iPhone 3GS to the Incredible... lots of non-tech people I know look at me odd when I tell them... to them I've downgraded..

I LOVE my Incredible... MUCH better phone than the iPhone 3GS.. I know this thread is comparing the iPhone4.. but the reasons why I like my droid better than my iPhone are the still the same...
[Droid Incredible General] nelms:
if i was to get an iphone (or any new phone for that matter) i wouldnt waste my time on something that cant do 4g. thats my opinion
[Droid Incredible General] tsupersonic:
I also don't get why people fight over phones. Use what you like and don't try to convince other people that one device is superior over another.

Both phones have their pros/cons. Personally, I prefer the Incredible.
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
I'm just trying to give a totally unbiased look at both phones. I love the Droid and I love the iPhone. I'm not trying to convince anyone that one phone is better than the other, just what is better in certain aspects. I think the big deciding factor is whether or not you prefer Android or iOS. I personally like the stability and battery life iOS gives. I haven't charged my iPhone up yet and after 5 hours of Infinity Blade and Modern Combat, safari and youtube the battery is at 67%. That's impressive. Also, when I get the pictures I've taken up, you'll see it's pretty spread there too.

Options only benefit the consumer, I'm not trying to sell you either way, just trying to show you the ups and downs of each.
[Droid Incredible General] GnatGoSplat:
Without a doubt, I think the iPhone 4 is superior hardware. It's also a more refined OS, although more closed for sure.

Either way, if you're looking at a contract, the iPhone 4 makes more sense economically, assuming the monthly rate is the same as the Incredible. The iPhone 4 will hold its value much better and when you upgrade, you'll be able to sell the iPhone 4 for hundreds more than the Incredible. These days, a used iPhone 3GS costs as much or more than a used Incredible and the Incredible's hardware is generations ahead of the old 3GS.
[Droid Incredible General] xman68:
Will be watching the rest of the test's!
[Droid Incredible General] karnovaran:
The 5 tests you've chosen are clearly the 5 most important points to you. With that in mind, I would assume the iPhone will win all of them.

For me, none of your 5 tests would be important decision points. I chose the Incredible based on access to software modifications (read: CM7), seamless Google integration, multi-tasking, and the ability to manage my media as I see fit.

In other words, I don't think a review of what's important to you can be terribly useful to others. If you want to really compare the phones, you have to cover everything but such an undertaking would be exhausting. In the end we all have to pick our 3 or 4 key features and choose which device satisfies them best (as you have done with your new iPhone).
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
You see, I've said multiple times that this is what's important to me and what alot of people i've spoken to are on the fence about. I could go into detail about integration with Google and Apple's services, which is what I asked you all to mention if you wanted to hear.

I never asked your opinion honestly. I set out to make these tests as fair as possible. I've been using Android for 3 years now and I am quite fond of it. It gets tired of hearing fanboy's on either side. Great, you love android, good for you! I did not ask you, I only asked that the flaming was kept to a minimum. I am well aware that everyone needs to choose which feature set is best for them, but a head to head comparison is what a lot of people want and wish was more widely available. Now please kindly take your opinion's elsewhere so I can finish this review without having to hear nonsense from the android lovers. And for the love of God... if anyone says "This is XDA, what do you expect?" I might cry/snap.
[Droid Incredible General] PhillyCheez:
Yet what blows my mind is how you think this "review" will be any different than the incredible vs at&t iPhone 4 reviews ... I don't understand how Verizon's version is THAT much different.

Unless another antennagate happens I find it pretty worthless. Everything there is to know about the iPhone 4 has been done... it's 8 months old!

[Droid Incredible General] sirphunkee:
IISiDeK1CKII, I'm afraid that when you title a thread "Verizon iPhone 4 vs. Droid Incredible: Fight!", you can only expect a polarized atmostphere, and have little hope of fostering objective discussion. If you we-work the title, and the first post to invite personal experiences and not broad subjective posturing, you may get what you're looking for ;)

I'll close this now to keep it from going any more OT, but it looks like you want to abandon it anyway. If you'd like to give it another shot, PM me and I'll be happy to re-open it.

I just rooted my phone with the one click root and now I'm trying to flash clockwork mod onto my phone so I can flash the froyo ROM and a new theme but every time I click "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" it gives me an error saying that an error occurred while downloading your recovery. I even tried to use older versions and I get the same error. What am I doing wrong? I'd really like to use froyo.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
Download the second file linked in this post.

Extract, place update.zip on SD card. Using Odin, place the .tar file in the PDA section and flash.
[Fascinate General] ScoobyDoo27:
Where can I download Odin? And where do I get the .tar file?
[Fascinate General] halcut:
After this do we need to flash it from rom manager too
[Fascinate General] halcut:
Odin can be downloaded from here - link 2: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788099

tar is in the zip on this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942021
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
The .tar file is in the zip you extract...

Odin can be found here.

Since you are placing the update.zip on your SD card, you don't have to flash with ROM Manager
[Fascinate General] gbcobra:
I would recommend reading through the beginners guide which is stickied at the top of the general thread which covers rooting, odin, CWM, ROMS etc.; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897889.
[Fascinate General] ScoobyDoo27:
Alright, well I used Odin and flashed that .tar file and I'm still getting an error from clockworkmod. Any other suggestions?
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
Did you put the update.zip on your sd card? You shouldn't need to do anything with rom manager.

Edit: Further instructions... Place update.zip on root of SD card, flash .tar with Odin using PDA, boot into stock 2e recovery (blue) and apply:update.zip, which should take you into new red cwm
[Fascinate General] ScoobyDoo27:
I did all of that and I got a message that says it failed to verify whole-file signature, and that the installation aborted. I guess my phones just not to be rooted....
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
Wait, are you not rooted? You'll need to be rooted first to install CWM.
[Fascinate General] ScoobyDoo27:
No, I'm rooted. I used the one click root. I can use rooted apps such as ad free android, cache cleaner and Titanium Backup. I have the superuser app in my app drawer. I just need to be able to get clockworkmod to work so I can flash some themes and the froyo rom that was leaked.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
OK, let's troubleshoot here...

You have done the following:

1. Download Odin, cwm_froyo-odin.zip

2. Extract cwm_froyo-odin.zip, place update.zip on root of SD card

3. Power phone down, remove battery

4. Open Odin, hold volume down and plug in USB to enter download mode

5. Select PDA and place cwm_froyo.tar and flash

6. Upon finish, replace battery, hold both volume buttons down and power on until you enter stock recovery (blue)

7. Apply:update.zip to enter red recovery

You're doing all these steps and still having a problem?
[Fascinate General] ScoobyDoo27:
Yes, I did all of that just as you mentioned. Is it safe to go over them one more time? Or is it bad to keep flashing that file to my phone?
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
Won't hurt anything
[Fascinate General] Xxw0lfxX:
I'm having the same problem. Once i open oden, and plug in the phone and hold down the vol down and power, it comes up to the Downloading.... screen, but Odin doesnt show a thing.

Cheers, Rich
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
I think I read somewhere that it requires the Samsung touchwiz framework which is only in the stock galaxy s devices: captivate, vibrant, etc.

In short, not possible unless the whole framework/rom is ported.

that is very disappointing :( Can't the frameworks be removed and installed on a different machine - without installing a new ROM?

I installed Titanium Backup and froze my bloatware. I am not 'ready' to install a ROM, are there any other things I can do to customize/increase performance of my X?
[Droid X General] abn75:
You can over clock it.

Sent from my DX running DS4.2
[Droid X General] silversonic1:
Well, you can overclock, clear out cache files, remove ads in free apps. Run SetCPU to manage your processor or even use Wireless Tether.
[Droid X General] hullie10:
You can theme it... but theming the stock rom can lead to some complications i believe...
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
You have a few options for a rooted phone.

1) you can leave it rooted without running a custom theme or ROM. With root you have access to use apps like wireless tether (tethering without using verizon's hotspot app), titanium backup (allows you to backup and restore applications), overclocking as some people has said (allows your phone to run at higher speeds for performance sake, mostly just to boost performance metrics.

You can also undervolt with the phone, which means just sending a lower power output from the battery to the electronic components. Some have said that this helps to improve battery life...

2) You can deodex your phone and then install themes for the stock Motorola ROM, or if you choose:

3) Install a custom ROM, and then install a theme that is built for the ROM. Different ROM's contain different setups and special options. Some look similar to the Motorola ROM (still have blur components), whereas other are blur free, and are more of a "true" android experience.
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
Dude unless you just absolutely Don't want a rom you should definitely install a rom.the phone performs so much better. I was scared to do it for a while but it is actually the easiest thing to do and it is virtually impossible to mess up your phone. The good definitely out weighs the risk!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimeslunk:
I'm trying to remove some transitions from a rom ZIP and perhaps replace them with some taken out of another. Does anyone know where they are located in the .ZIP or some other way to remove/replace them? A little help would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Use 7zip. You need to pull the framework-res.apk from the phone and put it on your computer. Open with 7zip. You'll see a folder called 'res'. Open it. The first folder you see is then 'anim'. That folder contains your animations/transitions. So you would take the animations folder you want, and copy them to the anim folder in your framework-res.apk (replacing the existing). Then push your framework-res.apk to /system/app . That should give you your new animations. That's how I do it, and Myn posted up on how to do that in his thread, teaching us how to do that. Cool.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydah:
Or you can do it with astro file manager. Just copy the apk and take it out of a zip and swap the files. Then copy the updated apk where it would go in the zip.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimeslunk:
Thanks alot guys I really appreciate it. I'm wondering if I use winrar can I just insert the transitions over the old ones the completely reflash the rom?

Edit: Ok if have found the framework-res.apk but I'm not exactly sure how to open it and look "inside" I'm using Winrar I'm thinking this is the same as 7zip for the purposes of searching through the zip but I'm not seeing compatibility with the .apk.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I can't say, because I don't use winrar. However, I know it works with 7zip, I change animations all the time. I can never decide if I like the flip or the fold animations. Anyways, try 7zip, I don't have a download link, but Google should take care of ya. 7zip allows you to open the .apk, so you can navigate to the 'res' folder, and then find the 'anim' folder. Good luck.
