Just wanted to say hi................traded my Epic for an Evo today, seems like better days should be ahead now :D
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
A wise decision you have made, my friend. Wise indeed.
[EVO 4G General] mikeschevelle:
thats what I am hoping for. Epic had some really nice features but in the end the lack of OTA support and me never once sliding out the keyboard to use we enough to lure me to the Evo
[EVO 4G General] DoctorComrade:
Welcome back :D
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
cool.. I hope you find happiness and fulfillment with the evo. :P
[EVO 4G General] godgib:
Funny... Me and the wife went from blackberry’s to EVO at the same time, and it took her about 2 weeks and she was done with the EVO. She wanted a new phone or a divorce. So down to the store we went and she walked away with the Epic. I'll say this much now that I've completely rooted, Rom'ed, battery tweaked, and spend about a month learning everything about the phone, it's the s*i*.... So out of the box the epic might win, but in the long haul I'm glad i stuck with the evo... The divorce, however it did cross my mind...
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
there will always be other new phones, they are much cheaper than divorces
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
but sometimes..

all you have is...

cut your losses and move on... :P

about the phone...

yes.. out of the box..

the epic is nice... same box

evo.. you can change that box.. with so many updates and ROMs and Sense 2.x
[EVO 4G General] mikeschevelle:
so what are the popular Roms here?

Im on Myn's Warm and its pretty good so far............hows CMod, is it fully functional yet???
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
I've been on MIUI since November. I tried going back to sense about a month ago, stuck with it for all of 10 minutes and restored my MIUI nandroid. MIUI is the perfect marriage of form and function.
[EVO 4G General] mikeschevelle:
are there any bugs with it. I loved CMod on my Epic but the Camera didnt work, nor did 4g or http streaming among others
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
Well pretty much all custom ROMs have bugs and MIUI is no exception. Thankfully, I have yet to encounter any with the build that I am on (1.1.28). I know some people have had [minor] gps issues, and some camera issues but I haven't experienced any. Since flashing this build I have not had one reboot, FC or any type of hiccup. It runs beautifully.

4G doesn't work (yet) but that's not really a bug. They are saying we will have it in the coming weeks.
[EVO 4G General] mikeschevelle:
have you compared it to Cmod?
[EVO 4G General] kidram:
There is cyanogenmod 7 wich is android gingerbread. Works very good i have used it and there is already a beta build of cyanogenmod 7 with wimax but like i said its in the beta process not yet ready to become stable but it works. I really like mikfroyos rom v4.5 its the fastest rom i ever used thats including myns and freshs rom and i like the theme it comes already installed. So if you wants sense give mikfroyo a try and if you want aosp go with cyanogenmod 7 nightlys very stable very fast and it has wimax hope this helps
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
Yeah, I tried CM but it's way too bland for me. MIUI is more stable, performs at least as fast, and looks a heck of a lot better. In fact, I get higher quad scores on MIUI than I did on CM.
[General Questions and Answers] Eclipzee:
i know this may be a nooby question, but i was wondering something about the new paragon rc5 rom. when you got to install zip do you choose the rom zip or the update zip? it was not clear on post and want to be absolutely sure before i brink my phone. BTW this is for the captivate.
[General Questions and Answers] SmithEC:
Both. That would be step 4.

Do you see how in step 6 it reads (might have to do twice) in parentheses? I don't know for certain, but I think that might be a reference to having to choose reinstall package for the ROM and once again for the update. Whether that is exactly what they meant or not, that is what you have to do.

Number 7 is a selection you are going to see on your phone screen. The selection reads something like Install .zip from SDCARD. Something like that - I can't remember exactly how it reads.

Once you hit that, you will see another screen come up and you will choose which .zip you want to install. That is step 8.

You should be doing steps 6, 7, and 8 twice.

If you've never done it, steps 7 and 8 may be hard to picture in your mind. Once you start doing it, it all makes sense.

You have to read that paragraph underneath the 8 steps. Just follow the directions. Read carefully.

That ROM is well worth the install.

-- it occurs to me that you might simply be asking which one to do first - do update.zip first

[General Questions and Answers] vertago1:
I have soft-bricked a im7 2.1 tcc8902. I have some .img files saved using cat on the mtdblock devices but the data was bad. Someone posted images they captured the same way and it has the same problem. So these backups are not any good.

Does anyone have some compatible firmwares for this device they could send me?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ayryyn:
I am at a loss about which recovery I should use. I am currently using ClockworkMod for the time being simply for the advanced feature of being able to recover individual nandroid "categories" (for example, data). However, I have heard that ClockworkMod does not delete dalvik cache properly.

While Amon Ra deletes dalvik cache properly, does it offer the individual "category" restore that ClockworkMod does?

I am asking because I would love to be able to remove some steps when I flash a new ROM:

1. I do a nandroid backup with ClockworkMod.

2. Reboot phone.

3. Use the program ROM Manager to flash Amon Ra.

4. Boot into recovery.

5. Perform a wipe of the phone.

6. Clear cache and dalvik cache.

7. Reboot.

8. Allow phone to "settle down".

9. Reboot into recovery.

10. Clear cache and dalvik cache.

11. Flash ROM.

12. Reboot.

13. Allow phone to "settle down".

14. Reboot into recovery.

15. Clear cache and dalvik cache.

16. Flash the kernal I use.

17. Reboot.

18. Allow phone to "settle down".

19. Configure Android Marketplace.

20. Download ROM Manager.

21. Reflash ClockworkMod.

22. Reboot to recovery.

23. Use advanced option to restore data.

24. Reboot.

*whew* Average time for this, roughly 45 minutes to an hour (if everything goes well).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:
amon ra does all of this as well and does a much better job of it too. i never understood why people use rom manager anyway. i guess for an extremely small convenience. it takes about 5 mins to flash a rom after downloading it and placing it on your sdcard with amon ra
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4redstars:
I prefer Amon Ra, but I haven't had the same issues with Clockworkmod recovery either...it's just a preference.

For wiping I don't use the recoveries to wipe, I use the format ALL zip from Calkulin.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khilbron:
Wow that sure is alot of steps. I use clockwork mod, and Have nowhere near as many steps as that, lemme break down what I do.

1. Perform Nandroid of my current rom

2. Flash Calkulin's Format all script found in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=785271)

3. Flash my new Rom

4. Reboot

5. enjoy my new rom.

That should shave off 20 steps, and about 30-35 minutes in your flashing time.

Hello everybody

I was wondering if there is a way for the led to blink and also to hear an alarm tone for missed calls or sms even if the device goes to sleep.
[XPERIA X2 General] Hakim Rahman:
try it with KeypadLedControl and G-alarm , go to http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=galarm/about to get it

It will not fix the phone not waking up when a message is receive, but if you miss a message, it will notify you once again, with sound and led notification cause it will wake the phone, been testing it now and it works.
[XPERIA X2 General] robuash:
KeypadLedControl sadly doesn't work on my X2, anyway thanks for trying to help.

[XPERIA X2 General] robuash:
I appreciate your efforts but it doesn't work neither, really it works, but it awakes the phone wheter there is a missed call or not, i say, it's awaking the phone all the time. The app looks fine but this is a badass phone. Anyway, thank you.

Since i began installing nightlies, I'm having issues restoring or even freezing apps via the titanium pro. It just hangs, until you kill the process. Anyone else see this?

Also big shout out to all the XDA folks. I just rooted an epic, and although there are some good rom's for the it, nothing beats the speed of the new evo nightlies. Heck just getting cw3 was a bit of work.

So thanks for all the hard work.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliott2705:
Ok guys so i recently cracked the lcd screen on my desire z. I have found original replacements on ebay for around the $70 mark.

But when i phoned a mobile repair centre they mentioned needing to get the serial number of the lcd before they could order the part, are there different lcd screens across different devices in the world? Or am i safe to just but the ones off ebay. I purchased mine from clove in the UK.

My other question, is the digitizer glued to the LCD and therefore difficult to replace LCD without doing digitizer too? Is alignment a common problem once they have been put back together like i have seen on some phones?

The repair centre said about $175 to replace it, is that worth forking out for for peace of mind or could i do it myself. I'm fairly confident and have done it on cheaper phones.

Thanks heaps guys!!!!

Why not just download a kernel from Rom manager and flash it via clockwork mod? Hell you can even get the physical zip file and drop it into root of your sd card and flash it that way.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] feisty_noodle:
Scenario:

I am sitting and reading a book using my nootered NC on the subway (adhoc-enabled, so I can tether to my phone should the need arise), when with an annoying frequency a message pops up about an open WiFi network becoming accessible. This may happen when someone's Blackberry (or another gizmo) nearby starts broadcasting their SSID or I wander into a commercial wireless network zone. I want this message to never be displayed.

Fix:

Because the stock Nook ROM does not have a normal Android Settings app, this is not as simple as unchecking a corresponding box in Wireless & Networks.

Edit the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

and change the entry labeled with 'wifi_networks_available_notification_on' to have a value '0' (instead of '1').

Obviously, undoing this is as simple as reverting to the old value of '1'. Also, this hack is undone by a factory reset.

You may need to reboot and things should be good.

I have sqlite3 installed in /system/bin so I do this on the Nook through ADB shell, but one may do this by pulling a version off onto their computer and edit the file "offsite."

If more explicit instructions are necessary, I can whip something up tomorrow.

Let me know if there is any interest.

Ok so I'm a bit obsessed with wallapapers, and I've found a lot that I like but many are for the iPhone.

No matter what size the photo is you always have to crop it with the widescreen size (or whatever you want to call it). I was looking online and it says you need to change the API but that sounds way to complicated for me and it also sounds like its difficult to change back.

My LG optimus in India came with Ndrive maps fitted.

I am told that this software will work for some time, and after that its going to be a "yearly 1000INR payment" for maps.

I could not understand this.

Does Ndrive charge you for using it per year. Or only if I need to buy updated maps I need to pay.

Anybody got an idea?

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jaylapeno:
Ndrive came with my phone as well on the sd card, its supposed to be a lifetime use of the map that you originally download, which is the location you choose when you first open the app. The payment is for the extra features such as speed camera, petrol prices etc
[Optimus One, P500, V General] wankhade:
Nope. What ever India maps are there in your sd card will continue to work irrespective of time

Thanks a ton for the replies. I am relieved.

So I can continue to use N-Drive on my optimus one if I do not require any further map updates.
[Nook Color General] altimax98:
Here's a tip I've been doing since my early days of rooting and rom'ing. I didn't want to do all the dumb adb steps (they're needed sometimes I know) for getting gapps and oc and build.prop edits..

I did this for internal install, but I suspect you can work it for the SD card as well if you know how.. also please make sure you copy the Froyo uImage file for the OC.

1: Download nokie froyo. Leave it zipped or unzip, its your choice

2: unzip the oc file and drag the uImage file into the correct folder (sorry I can't remember, if someone could post the correct location, ill update)

3: drag and drop the system folder from the gapps download into your nookie. You want to drag it to the area where you see the /system folder but not actually in it. It will automaticly place the sub folders.

3A: (optional) if you have a edited build.prop, you can copy and replace now.

4: (optional if you unzipped) zip the folder using the 'store' option for compression

5: flash using the same method you usually would through CWR

I used winRAR and just dragged and dropped, and it worked great. It automaticly compressed the files to match the destination folder. I recommend drag and drop because winRAR doesn't have a paste option.

You can also place and remove any apps in the system folder at this time. You can make the folder as large as you want with whatever apps you feel should be in the folder.

I personally think its a great way to skip a number of steps. By putting in the files and stuff you want and then flash it saves time.

***** WARNING****** using a high overclock your nook can't support will result in the end of the world... misplacing files can and will result in a non-booting nook... USE AT OWN RISK IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING.... DON'T DO IT

I won't post my file because of two reasons:

1: nookie froyo is not mine and I will not take credit for anything that those people spent hours finely crafting

2: I think distributing files with gapps installed is wrong or something, I'm not too sure

CREDIT: to all the fine developers who slave hours to create awesome roms... THANKS!!!
