[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweepinJR:
So I just moved from a Hero to an Evo, and I'm already liking the larger display and speeds.

So I'm really wondering where to get started here.

What is everyone's recovery img of choice? I always used RA 1.7 for my Hero.

What's everyone's ROM of choice? I was running aosp 2.2.1 with the hero. I want something light and fast, but 100% functional/stable. Suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Its a toss up from RA and Clockworks. Clockworks has ROM Manager but RA has WIMAX partition backups and etc. If you liked RA stick with it.

As for ROM preference, its up to you. A lot of people enjoy what Sense has to offer. Others prefer AOSP. If you didn't know the most widely used AOSP ROM is from Cyanogen CM7 i believe is the latest and MIUI.

Or you can go with LauncherPro and ADW on top of either Sense or AOSP.

If you want 4G connectivity and AOSP, get a ROM with Sense removed.

There are a lot of optimized ROMs out there. But with the different hardware versions of the Evo + kernels and etc, everyone has different experiences. You will just have to be a flashing junkie like the rest of us and try different things.

Just as some advice: Once you find a good combination that works, stick with it. Especially for battery life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
As another former hero user, I always used clockwork, but I feel amon 2.2.1 is superior to the latest clockwork ....

Additionally, a good thing to read up on is RSA keys, since we obviously did not have to deal with that on the hero.....you need them for wimax...

As far as roms, Cyanogen Mod 7 just released android 2.3 (gingerbread) with working wimax (4g)

If you have any questions in your transition I would be happy to help...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweepinJR:
The RSA keys are what I'm trying to back up now, but I'm having troubles with the sed command, apparently I don't have busybox installed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
You can back them up with amon RA....when you select backup it lets you select what to back up...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweepinJR:
Alright, I did a Wimax backup in nandroid, and I did a full backup separately.

Is the CM7 rom you're referring to the one in this thread?

[HD2 General] dubie76:
I was speaking to a Tmobile rep on the phone who couldn't go into details because of a recorded line, but mentioned that the HD2 can run on the 4G network. He said there are "ways that will not void warranty". He said to just search and I will find it. It was not a hardware limitation, but a software one. Anyone have an idea on this?
[HD2 General] lude219:
Cmon bro, you have over 1300 posts and you think the HD2 is capable of 4G and that it's a software limitation? Secondly, even Tmobile themselves dont even know what 4G is with their subliminal ads, what make you think any of their reps know any better?
[HD2 General] coldest~~~:
HD2 doesn't run on 4G and it's a hardware limitation period
[HD2 General] dubie76:
What does my post count have to do with what a t-mobile rep says? I merely posted what I was told via a chat with a rep when I questioned him about their 4G service.
[HD2 General] squish099:
Yes the hd2 is hardware limited to 7.2 Mbs but since hspa+ is backwards compatible T-Mobile's "4g" network will make a difference to you connection... Idk what the Rep you talked to was talking about but frankly he's f.o.s (full of $#!+).. the hardware radio is limitation!!!

Swyped from my Cyanogenmodded HD2
[HD2 General] dubie76:
Thats what i figured. I know when HSPA came out, it was "labeled as 4G speed" but called HSPA. Maybe that is what he was confused about since now Tmobile is trying to actually have a true 4G network. Who knows. HSPA is good for me now anyway.
[HD2 General] jc-cyrs:
after the 3.14 update they'll release one that's 4.0 meaning 4g and the hd2 will then have 4g ....lol
[HD2 General] HectiQ:
What a douchebag, I hate phoneshops, most of them would tell you everything you want to here, just to let you buy one. When I went for my hd2, I had to buy a display model because there were none left, and the guy behind the desk had one too, an hd2. With a cooked rom. I asked to run the phones init process before taking it home, and it got stuck at sim recognising, we tried multiple simcards, everything failed, that guy was also a douche, he said immediatly, sold is sold. Maybe he tried to customise his hd2 and when it failed, he swapped it with the store display model. Luckely for my another employee overthere said he couldn't make it, if it was up to the first seller, I had to send it to repair,that dumb prick. The other one gave me a cheque to buy it in another store, where I asked the same thing, point is, always try before you buy, and insist, you are customer, and king.
[HD2 General] daeaevia:
Im not too familiar with all this phone junk... I mean when you guys are saying its a hardware issue, to me it sounds like you guys are saying a Dell c600 oldschool laptop only being able to run on dial up... DSL outta the question... hahaha...

i do believe it is probably a software issue, but i havent researched it much...
[HD2 General] rr5678:
It is not a software issue. If it were, there would be no need for advertising "4G" phones, would there?
[HD2 General] pvii:
You have to research that a phone isn't like a laptop, lol...

Even in a smartest of smartphones you can not change the radio module, like adding a modem in the cheapest laptop, different class of gadgets.
[HD2 General] deeking2:
HSPA+

so did your statement about hspa+ mean that the phone takes full advantage of the bandwidth available in hspa without any software mods?
[HD2 General] VW_Factor:
T-Mobile doesn't even have real 4G. Hell, they don't even hardly have 3G where they say they do, let alone the "largest 4G network in America"

What a load of crap.

No, our totally awesome HD2's will not run 4G speeds, unless you know some sort of black magic or voodoo.
[HD2 General] Tachi91:
HSPA + uses the same frequency as the 3G one.. so even though its the same AWS band the hardware must be able to reach the Max speed avaible... it would be like having a 1Gig/s line but it only reaching 100mbs since that's the hardware limit... Now in some cases hardware is capable of more but limited by the firmware.. take for instance wimax modules, there capable of LTE but don't have the supported software...
[HD2 General] eenbox:
It is very likely they were referring to 3.5G (H) instead of 4G.

Actually T-Mobile does not really have 4G yet that could be comparable to Verizon for instance... yes, it is fast on Galaxy phones but overall it is just fast fast connection... 3.75G I guess :) ... however, my HD2 works on 3.5G (H) connection just fine and I am subscribed to 4G 200MB plan for $10...

Will HD2 work on real 4G... cmon man don't make me loose calories by typing what 1300 threads already state... NOT HAPPENING! :)
[HD2 General] Phantoms:
I'm not commenting on whether 4G is possible or not on the HD2, but rather on your comment above.

They advertise Android phones don't they, yet that's possible on the HD2. They advertise WM7 phones, yet the HD2 can do that too. I know a lot of things on the HD2 were said to be impossible and later it was proved possible either through software changes or even just enabling a registry setting. Cell companies limit features of phones all the time by not including certain software or not enabling certain features as a way of differentiating phones. So as far as your comment goes, it means absolutely nothing.
[HD2 General] rr5678:
Oh really? Look up the details on the QSD8250.

QSD8250:	GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS/WCDMA, HSDPA, HSUPA, MBMS

HTC HD2 updated .zip rom EVO 4G (not working. :D no problem...:D)

Doesn't matter if 4G network not works onto HTC HD2,because when more people buying a 4G phone than they are using 4G network and after few months (maybe) year than 3G is also faster as before. 3G networks can used and functionally better onto internet whitout changed when 3G is full than you automatically down to almost historic G networks. When time is there i sell a new smartphone with 4G,but my old HTC HD2 is ever working (when it rains and not rains). I like this crazy phone. Unbeleaveble

[Nook Color General] waiteck:
Hi guys, I have searched about the video playback capability of nook color.

I found information that has been posted since december but i am not sure if there are any changes since then. Can nook color play avi and m4v now? without the conversion?

And is adobe flash available for it right now as its already on 2.2?

I seems like I can't get information about it and all i got was about the flashing of nook color. and videos of nook color.

please enlighten me. :o i am currently so tempted to buy nook color. :D
[Nook Color General] RileyGrant:
Currently video playback is very limited, and hardly any formats are supported. As for flash, it is supported somewhat on the Froyo 2.2 builds for the Nook Color, however, it is still recommended that you run those from the sdcard as the EMMC builds are still highly unstable. With the current progression on Stock, Froyo, and even Honeycomb, we can only guess that flash and video support is right around the corner, especially once A3.0 becomes AOSP.
[Nook Color General] bonobomidwest:
I use radtools or mcebuddy for batch conversion to vanilla mp4. Works great

[Nook Color General] beezy69:

[Nook Color General] waiteck:
thanks for the replies guys!

was thinking of buying it already but it seems like there are no stock on bestbuy.com :(.

stock seems to be available at B&N but bestbuy gives a free cover.

but bestbuy gotta wait for around 2 weeks! :(!
[Nook Color General] animatechnica:
I use handbrake (free) to transcode movies to mp4 which plays beautifully on the nook

Alsos use mVideoPlayer which also supports import of subtitle files
[Nook Color General] {Diemex}:
i tried to get a nook color through a online store.

But: its out of stock everywhere: b&n, bestbuy, wallmart, booksamillion. even if they say that its in stock, it wont be until the 15.2.

you can try at ebay.com or amazon.com...,
[Nook Color General] omega1alpha:
Yeah, be careful with the online inventory counts from Bestbuy and Walmart. Sometimes they say they have units on hand and they don't. I've even heard about people calling into Barnes & Noble and the "kids" that work there said they had several and it turns out they were sold out for days.
[Nook Color General] franklicd:
guys, try this : VitalPlayer. It's free and it's the best one I've ever had in the market.

It can play avi, mkv,wmv,mp4 as such, the best thing is: its software decoding is SOOOOOOO good. If you just play some videos not in HD resolution, this tool can give you almost no lag, no sound delay experience.

Try it and you'll like it just like me.
[Nook Color General] caseyatbt:
I have tried Rockplayer, VPlayer, XYZ, and VirtualPlayer. With all of them my AVI files have the audio out of sync. I tried to convert the AVI's to MP4 with DVDFab and the audio was still out of sync. What program will definitely convert from AVI to MP4 while keeping the audio and video in sync?
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
Handbrake, without a doubt the easiest and best quality IMO.

I too have tried other video players and have seen audio sync issues with them. Using the built in gallery app on my stock rooted nook though video playback is perfect. I have bluray rips of a few select faves for my son on my nook, specifically coded at 854 pixels wide with constant quality set to 20 and they look fantastic on the nook's standard video player but skip and drop frames on vplayer or rock player regardless of what kernel I run (stock 800mhz or overclocked). I haven't tried playback using vplayer or rock in Nookie Froyo yet, maybe I'll try that tonight.
[Nook Color General] nchopp:
Same here - I have had no luck with any of the other media players.
[Nook Color General] djurkash:
If you do, please post findings…thanks…
[Nook Color General] bartonkt:
Cool, was looking for mkv playback...will check out vitalplayer.
[Nook Color General] Toys Samurai:
Did you try your AVI in your PC? A lot of times, the video file itself may be out-of-sync. In that case, no matter how you convert it, it won't work.
[Nook Color General] caseyatbt:
The AVI files play fine on my Archos 70 using RockPlayer.
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
Played around a little more last night and confirmed that for me playback of my mp4 h.264 videos encoded to meet nook specs play flawlessly in the standard player in eclair and the nookie froyo 0.68 image. Playback in vplayer or rockplayer suffers audio sync issues due to dropped frames though I noted that playback of video in vplayer in froyo was much better than in eclair.

I'm really wondering how it is people are getting flawless playback in vplayer. I expected to see it in froyo seeing as I was using a clean SD card boot image (latest distro) .

Its not a huge deal for me since the stock video player plays well but it does mean having to re-encode my fave TV shows from xvid avi to h.264 mp4 before loading them onto the nook.
[Nook Color General] A2Captivate:
The Nook Gallery seems to be the only thing that will playback videos without a video/audio sync problem. I use VideoReo to re-encode my videos into a h.264 format for Android phones. They look great on the Nook. VideoRedo is pretty expensive (I use it for converting .tivo videos) but it is a Cadillac. Handbrake is supposed to be a good free alternative.

Is there any way to get the stock Google Gallery app from Eclair onto a V1.1 rooted Nook?
[Nook Color General] hawkinsandponcho:
I'm running brianf21's 0.6.7 Nookie 2.2 image off of the SD card. Flash wasn't working in browser so I uninstalled Flash 10.1 in the market, rebooted, and re-installed.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuroneko007:
I think if you flash it through recovery, it will only do a "fake flash", so it will run once but not be written to the memory. You need to go into fastboot, connect to your pc via usb, then enter "fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img" (where the last bit is the name if the recovery file you downloaded.
