Would anyone mind putting together a (geared towards 2st time rooter) step-by-step guide? I'm trying to become acclimated to all of the android terminology, but I am afraid I am going to mess things up. I really want to remove the bloatware and be able to sideload. I'll keep reading until I understand but if someone wouldn't mind writing some instructions for a newbie I'd really appreciate it!

Gold Card

I made the Gold Card on My HTC Inspire now what do I do with it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Noz85:
Just follow the steps in the kit.

I unzipped the contents of the hack kit into the sdk and ran everything from there in the Windows terminal ( cd C:/sdk/hackerize-ace etc)
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
Yeah, but unless I have "type this line for line into terminal" I really am not too sure as to what I am doing. When the instructions simply say 'navigate to here in the terminal' I literally have no idea how to do that. I need step by step instructions for the layperson. Either that, or a one click root. I'm still trying to figure it out though, it's just a lot to learn and risk bc I would have no idea how to get back to stock should something go wrong.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Noz85:
In windows terminal you have to type "cd" before the destination or how he put it navigate in the terminal. So all you really have to do is unzip the files to the sdk folder in your c: drive and continue from there. As long as you have a working gold card you will have no problem rooting.
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
What if I mess up? am I stuck with a useless phone? How could I un-do the attempt?
[HTC Inspire 4G] maevro:
I have been doing this for what feels like forever and I feel more and more out of touch. I was able to root my Aria in a snap & do great things to it, same with the Incredible, but with the Inspire, I feel like I just cant get it and its filling me.

Somebody knows anything about Skype in Inspire? How make it alive. Because now it is useless. ATT locked Skype. How I can unlock it? Please anybody help me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
me too. Make sure you update your android sdk. Then run the adb shell to put the updated drivers in. I made my gold card with the help of the unlockr on youtube and there website. It's so easy once you see it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
If anyone is having trouble with the first part dont fear. Go to you Tube and type in make a gold card or just search it in google. it will bring you to the unlockr video. This helped me alot. The only thing when following the video is to change the 1 or 0 or the video to 2 from the updated script instructions so the gold card will work with this root. when you get to this part tools/win/adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid the numbers will be 1 or 0 on the video change them to 2.

Very important update your android sdk and run the adb shell command prompt from the instructions. When you find your device you know know to proceed with the gold card.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Noz85:
If you mess up the hack won't go through and your phone will just restart or stay the same. Worse case you wind up flashing the ruu

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxRabbit:
I am running Cezar's Continuum ROM (comes with SpeedMod kernel I believe). I flashed JK3 modem in the first place: no problems.

After reading the modem thread I decided to try flashing JL2. No problems, but since then, after rebooting I am getting force close problems like crazy with apps like AppBrain, Autostarts, Astro File Manager, Twidroyd, and pretty much every other app that I try.

Even after flashing back to JK3 I have the problem.

Any help? Thanks in advance.

Do you guys happen to know if this version still has the same issues as the version that's been floating around since the galaxy tab came out?

I've flashed it before, worked great, or so I thought, until without warning I stopped receiving e-mail pushes. Apparently its an issue specific to exchange (which I'm using) with specific e-mails that will lock it up and prevent any new e-mails from being pushed. If you delete said problematic e-mails, it will start syncing again, but I can't take that chance with work.

If any of you guys happen to use exchange with this new galaxy tab e-mail app and have reliable success with it I'd love to hear about it. Otherwise it's plain old regular email app for me :(

[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
I was totally buying into the dual core processing for all these new phones until I stopped looking at the "cool factor" and started actually thinking...

In all reality, why in the world do we need a dual core processor on a cell phone?

Don't even say 3d gaming, because that's just ridiculous. The percentage of people that want to play call of duty on their cell phones is probably less than the amount of people who know what rooting is.

What's wrong with optimizing our current 1 and 1.2 ghz processors to give us optimized performance and throwing in decent GPU's?

Anything more than that is COMPLETELY unnecessary for a cell phone.

Where do you guys think the cellular industry is heading?

Its moving waaay too fast imo.

Why don't we focus on things that people are having issues with like Battery Life, build quality of the phones, quality of cameras, crappy software, etc?

I don't know.... Sometimes I feel like the only person with sense nowadays.

Feel Me?
[EVO 4G General] husker91:
I always thought that dual cores were supposed to be more efficient and therefore have greater battery life and better multitasking experiences.
[EVO 4G General] Miamicane99:
I would say you don't know the purpose of dual core processors. At this point in time their purpose would be to support all of the multitasking rather than making one program run better (since most programs at this point are not programmed to take advantage of multiple cores). With simultaneous programs running on separate cores you would avoid the slow down that you would experience if you were running them all on the same core. I would agree with focusing more on battery life to some extent though.
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
Lol, really?

My year old snapdragon runs numerous programs together perfectly smooth with absolutely no hiccups or lag.

I'm willing to bet a stock phone with (as I stated in the OP) optimized 1 or 1.2 ghz processor and GPU, add in a decent amount of ram and you have absolutely everything you need.

The hardware isn't the problem with android, it's the software. For some reason people don't seem to notice that. There remedy is to add unnecessary power to our phones that will more than likely never be used...

If dual core is somehow supposed to increase battery life, then I can understand somewhat the reasoning behind them. But I don't understand how two processors will noticeably help battery life in real time.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Nice try, but the purpose is to make apps also run better. Apps can easily be patched to take advantage of multiple cores and enhance its performance and such.

Also, multiple cores allow for higher performance with a lower hit on battery life. That alone is enough of a purpose of multiple cores. Not to mention ability to stream full 1080p videos, etc, which will eventually be the norm. This is specially important when outputting to TVs and the like.
[EVO 4G General] Karl_in_Chicago:
You are absolutely right. While we are at it, shouldn't 64K of memory be enough for anybody? :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] nabbed:
Where did you get this from?
[EVO 4G General] Success100:
absolutely right, android sucks when it comes to graphics. No hardware acceleration. Perfect example of why a first gen iPhone can run circles around a evo with half the hardware power when it comes to rendering effects and graphics. These hardware specs are just SPECS anyways. That dual core Tegra LG android phone thats coming out still lags despite how powerful it is.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
I agree with OP. if our phones had a faster single core, say 1.6~2.0gjz and a decent gpu I believe it would perform better and have better battery life vs a dual core 800~1000mhz with the same gpu, dual core is a gimmick, nothing more
[EVO 4G General] taadow1030:
Perhaps this is a case of build it and they (new uses) will come? Good points on both side.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
No, 3D is a gimmick. Dualcore CPU's, until fully optimized - and even then - is not a gimmick.
[EVO 4G General] Success100:
eh, i wouldnt necessarily call it a gimmick, imagine a dual core android phone that did have hardware acceleration. The possibilities would be crazy!!

But yes I totally agree with you also, until the fix the inherent flaw in every android device, more powerful harware is just going to drain the battery faster, instead of just optimizing the OS. Which sounds easy in practice but when there are hundreds of android devices, its probably not an easy task. ( i could very well be wrong though)

it makes perfect sense , a lot is being asked out of a phone ,console like 3d graphics for gaming and yeah i do like some games on my evo like angry birds once in awhile but overall my main priority of my evo is just communicating and and apps for productivity like wifi tether etc. and the rest is for customizing which im pretty happy that my over clocked processor handles that great with occasional lags buts thats just the software though , if wanted gaming i would go with home consoles or portable gaming , i agree that people are just giving dual core too much hype , Right?
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
hahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Good one. lol

I don't think I said exactly what I meant in the OP...

My main point is that android does not need dual core processors at this point. We are still a new OS and there are tons of bugs and things that should be ironed out in the software, etc.

I have no problem with dual core processors if some people feel they will offer better performance and battery life than a 3rd or 4th generation fully optimized 1.2 ghz processor with a beast gpu.

My concern is that android is moving too fast for its own good. The OS has a lot of potential, but if we're just trying to blaze past the competition we're missing out ON A LOT of things.

3d is hands down a gimmick. There is absolutely no justification for that. lol
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
aight, take your quad for example, lets say its 3ghz, now make a 12ghz single core and only run 2~3 apps at a time, I think it will run them better and use less power to do so
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
A single core 2GHz CPU would probably be slower and suck up more juice than a dual core 1 GHz CPU.

I personally agree with the mentality of energy efficiency over power. I'm just not certain whether dual cores are better or worse in that regard. Two cores doing a few simple tasks would be more energy efficient than a similarly designed single core doing the same tasks, but firing both cores up at max performance would obviously not be. Right now, aside from gaming, I don't see any apps that would strain a dual core; so if provided with great software support from the kernel/OS, maybe multiple cores are the better option. I don't know, maybe someone more technical could shed some light.

Regardless though, software will evolve and become more complex and resource hungry. Maybe HD video editing (not complex just simple social network / personal stuff) and some other stuff I can't think of but will likely pop up. I definitely see much more value in having a powerful GPU, a big reason why I think the EVO ultimately falls short, but like I said, maybe big phones + big batteries (1900+ mAh) + small CPUs and components + multiple cores + and optimized software is the answer to the battery problems.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
No. No, it wont.
[EVO 4G General] sand1303:
I still can't understand why everyone wants to upgrade processors so quickly. I am not talking about any device or processor in particular but in general. Like our pc's. How many pc's come with a decent amount of memory out of the box. That is usually one of the first things we must do to really enjoy it unless u spent the money on a high end gaming pc. Why don't they beef up the memory on these while they work on dual core stuff.

In no way am I saying I don't think I need a dual core. More is always better with that kind of stuff. I would definitely take a dual over a single core. Just wandering why memory always seems like it could use more. Phones and pc's

Physics and common sense.
[EVO 4G General] sandpa:
There is this one use case that might benefit from more processing power right away. Replacing your netbooks/notebooks with your smart phone docked into the form factor you need. I think it is a very attractive use case especially for enterprise users.

Also as soon as you provide more processing power applications ( and the APIs used by them ) tend to evolve ( though slowly ) to make use of it.
[EVO 4G General] Success100:
COST!!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
JUST TO CLARIFY.

Are you guys saying dual core processors will improve ACTUAL PERFORMANCE not benchmarks, I'm talking running applications and increase battery life?

If so, then that's fine and all but your missing my point.

Why don't we optimize our current processors and improve our battery technology instead of just adding more processors?

We're starting to sound like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg

"I want the one with the GBEES!"

lol.

An optimized 1ghz processor with DECENT SOFTWARE will trump a octocore processor on subpar (what stock android currently is) software any day. Maybe not in benchmarks, but in real world for sure.
[EVO 4G General] Success100:
easier said than done my friend. dual core chips on android to me is a lost cause. im sure with proper coding it will help, but its no substitute for hardware acceleration and improvement in OpenGL on android.

why dont they just optimize the processors? Its not the processors that are the problem. Its the OS. Since android kinda stinks in the graphics and rendering department, and Google isnt planning to implement the changes til honeycomb, the only other way is to beef up the hardware, until google optimizes the OS.

Battery techology is pretty much stagnant in cell phones, with the exception of the li-ion polymer batteries.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
Why would dual cores be good?

One core for the UI and system process

The other for apps and everything else

It would make for a much smoother interface because the processor won't have to jump back and forth between that and all the other apps that are running. This is if android is configured for that purpose of course.
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Dual cores will be good for apps that are threaded to use 2 cores.

I like it. Manufacturer's need to push hardware so the software can follow suit.
[EVO 4G General] Klk450:
/Agreed it's the OS that needs some fixing.
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Wonder how many programmers still know how to program in assembly/machine language... Call it what you will. Until the software becomes more efficient, the only other alternative is faster processors and more memory.
[EVO 4G General] nabbed:
Please explain.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
Why not do both? You're really mixing unrelated problems. Yes, Android needs performance optimizations and better use of the GPU. But that's no reason not to also use faster processors if they're available, particularly if die shrinks, multi-core, and other enhancements can give you performance for little to no power consumption costs. Optimized software AND an "octocore" processor will run circles around either system you mention.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
does no one even know why computers adapted dual core? mainly laptops?

There's a million reasons why a dual core processor is better.

1. heat

2. less energy consumption

3. data corruption when going above certain clock speeds

4. faster processing since single core is limited to certain clock speeds.

and many more

If you were to put a single processor into a phone like evo, you can expect huge heat issues as well as all your data getting corrupted because of it. Today's phones aren't made to handle that much processing power, thats why they split it up into two cores. The cores function in order to consume power as well, by shutting (going idle, or w/e you want to call it) one of the cores when not needed. Not only does this consume major amount of power, but it also cools the phone. If you were to put the power of a dual core into a single core processor, the phone would be a hot plate every time you you browsed online.

So much bull**** in this thread of people that don't understand why dual cores were made in the first place. And from people that don't own an i7 to see how powerful multiple cores can go.
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
dam...i'm getting really tired of repeating myself...

I never said I had a problem with dual core, in fact I welcome it....in the future.

As of now, Android does not require it because just about every single one of our apps doesn't need it and in all reality the consumer would never even notice the difference between a dual core or single.

from my perspective we need to polish our OS, which is MUCH more important than hardware at this point since it's ****ty. 1ghz just became popular a little over a year ago, it can definitely hold up for another year or two as we polish our OS....

I don't know. Guess Common Sense just isn't common anymore in people.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
I thought they did it to help with multitasking and as an easy way to increase processing power without raising clock speeds. Heat is still an issue since all of the cores are built into the same chip and your heat sink only comes in contact with the top of the processor.

i7s shut down cores to make them more efficient and run cooler but that is not something all multicore processors do. It is a complicated process. And yes I know how powerful 6 physical (not virtual) cores can be. ;)
