Agreed, and Microsoft's glacial pace of development doesn't help things, nor does their backpedaling on the update process. After I got screwed on yet another trash WM device that was never going to see bug fixes or updates I vowed I'd never again waste my money on WM and I didn't, getting several other devices instead. The biggest selling point for WP7 was that Microsoft would push updates and any user could get them. Then it's no, that's not entirely true. The carrier can block an update if they want to but Microsoft will push the next one through whether the carrier likes it or not. Which we all know will never fly because the carriers have, can and will make stuff up to achieve their aims and since Microsoft has already caved once, they'll cave again and again until, just like bad old days, every device gets one update that may or may not do anything relevant and we all get to sit around and wonder if we should wait or cut our losses and get something else that actually works. Being a Focus owner and given that Microsoft has annouced that there won't be any updates worth talking about until at least the 2nd half of 2011, I wonder that now. Think the Focus will be relevant by the time multitasking is available or will it be "incapable of running the latest system"? I'd say it's about 50/50 given the track records of everyone involved, including Samsung who has an even WORSE record for updates than Microsoft. This isn't some two-bit mom & pop dev shop located above the pizza place on the boardwalk, it's freaking Microsoft and they have what, 4 guys working on this on the days when two of them aren't working on Foxpro? Sure seems that way and I'm tired of reading all the half baked excuses from anyone and everyone who thinks they have a clue about what Microsoft does. This is a company with some of the best minds in the industry and billions of dollars and they're utterly incapable of doing anything that matters in a timely fashion because "they've been burned in the past so they're planning their steps carefully"? Give me a break! WM died years ago, if this system is "just a couple months old" like I keep reading, what were they doing for the past, oh, 3 or 4 years? You know, while iPhone and Android utterly consumed the entire smartphone market and Android became, and remains for the foreseeable future, the best heir to Windows Mobile? That's right, nothing. "Microsoft: Think Nothing"
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
What some 6.5 advocates fail to realize is that WP7 allows all its features (even if you consider it to be lacking) to be functional. WM6.x was so unreliable, and unresponsive at times, that sure, it had the features... But you couldn't run most of them without the OS crashing... You had to flash a ROM just to fix a feature... Yeah we got to the point of automating the cab installs, but the OS was far behind in terms of usage. So, I think WP7 is the definite step in the right direction, not two steps back, but leaps forward.

How do i add this to the kernel or if it is even possible.

Does anyone know how to bypass the carrier-specific Android market? I know that the apps can be submitted to the market for a specific carrier, so is there a way to fool the market into thinking the phone is on a different carrier?

Basically, I'd like to download some apps (AT&T U-verse, Google Car Home, etc.) that are blocked on Sprint's Android Market. I know you can find the apk's on XDA and such, but I'm wondering if there's a more direct route?
[EVO 4G General] silverjack:
Might be a bit cliche but you can find those apps on some alternative market apps like applanet. I will not post a link to it here as that app leads to downloading copyrighted apps for free and is to the best of my knowledge illegal and frowned on my the majority of the Android community.

Very Helpful thank you
[EVO 4G General] aph:
There actually is a tweak for changing the carrier Market sees so you can see more apps. Obviously that is NOT any kind of security risk since those are still MARKET APPS.

I don't remember off the top of my head but it had to do with downloading Gmail, since that's not normally something you can do from the Market. It was related to CyanogenMod. I hope that helps.

There are also plenty of good legitimate markets out there like AppBrain, which I much prefer to the regular Market for finding cool new apps.
[EVO 4G General] SatAmnesiac:
Yes - Its called Market Enabler and is discussed from post #6 of this thread onwards.
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
With the 2.2 OTA coming should we expect it to use RFS or EXT4? My gut feeling is that it would be RFS, but I honestly don't know Sh!t.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
RFS

The phone came with RFS and Samsung does not support ext4 on the epic. Leaked builds have been RFS only until devs here modded them to support ext4.

/thread
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
More likely RFS
[Epic 4G General] MedicStuder:
Someone please correct me if I am wrong but 2.2 is still rfs I think ext4 doent come till gingerbread.
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
Yes Gingerbread uses EXT4.

2.2 is still RFS.
[Epic 4G General] skyjedi:
RFS until the devs cook up the good stuff for us
[Epic 4G General] BThomas22x:
Actually the gb13 source comes with files for ext2, 3, and 4 support... so all are possible. But as said, it will come rfs, and need to be modded for those.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
I never want to go back to Rfs after usi g ext4. So much faster.
[Epic 4G General] pipskicks:
To the devs, does Gingerbread support RFS? If it's only EXT4 I see problems in updating...
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
It will be RFs..and prob Gingerbread will be RFS..cause RFS is a file system made by samsung..and thats what they use..

As for support..I'm not 100% sure but neither 2.1 nor 2.2 support RFS either..samsung just made it so...
[Epic 4G General] adamw1101:
but doesnt samsung run yaffs on the nexus s?
[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:
EB13 kernel source compiles rfs support and NOT EXT4 support...but we should be able to compile ext4 support in...but no by default it is not ext4 so you can count on OTA being RFS
[Epic 4G General] gophergun:
Nope, ext4.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Ok 2 things..

1) Google made the request on the Nexus S, and my guess is Google made the call on the partitions...

2) Samsung's OneNAND by Default comes with RFS, in the Nexus S they use Sandisk's NAND...
[Epic 4G General] pipskicks:
Haven't people mostly had issues with EXT4 to the point where the difference between the 2 were minuscule or nothing? Maybe I'm off b/c 2.2/3 is different but it seems to me that a lot of people switched to EXT4 in the dev section only to switch back to RFS due to bugginess and no improvement over RFS...
[Epic 4G General] dtownsend:
I'm on ext4 right now but I can't say I really noticed much of a speed difference when I switched. Well probably go back to stock RFS when the update is out.

It's not the phone's fault or build's. It's you.

If you spend a lot of time on the internet, music, pictures, gaming, videos, you can expect the battery to die fast.

Use current widget and check your battery drain's then, during stand by, and when on, with either wifi or what not on.

I have a rooted (Supersonic EVT2-2 SHIP S-OFF; HBOOT-0.93.0000) EVO that I'm running Warm 2.2 RLS 4 on. I have it set up the way that I wanted and it is running perfect (enough for me).

Yesterday, I caught a glimpse of the MIUI ROM that has an iPhone theme so I wanted to try it out. So, I used Titanium to back up my apps and data to my SD card (8GB with 3GB open). Then, I went to ROM Manager to back up my ROM. I saw that there was an update for the ClockworkMod Recovery so flashed it up to 3.0.0.5. Then I went to Backup Current ROM, kept the suggested name, and hit OK. After a few seconds, the Splash Screen (white HTC EVO 4G) briefly shows, the phone buzzes and then I'm on the initial Bootloader menu screen (with the three Androids at the bottom).

I highlight Bootloader, then I hit the Power button to go to the next set of menus, and the phone does it's checks. After the checks, I push the Volume Down button to go to Recovery, then hit the Power button. The splash screen shows again, the phone buzzes, and I'm back at the initial Bootloader screen.

Whether I use the Quick Boot app, the ROM Manager app, or the Power and Volume Down method, I cannot get past the Bootloader screen to get into Recovery. All I get is Splash, buzz, then the initial Bootloader. Warm 2.2 RLS4 is a nice stable ROM, but I am starting to feel limited, which is why I rooted the phone a few months ago.

Could someone PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZSSSSSSEEEEE help me with this? I have been reading forums and Googling this issue for hours and I can't find an answer. I am far from a comp engineer, but I can follow instructions pretty well.

Thanks a million!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Try using ROM Manager to reflash your recovery, that should fix it for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njgoodfella2199:
Fourth times the charm! WHEEWWW!!!

It's seems to be working now and I'm backing up my ROM as I type. I went into ROM Manager and flashed it again and this time I went into Recovery straight from ROM Manager (I had did it indirectly via the ROM backup before) and I saw a orange and black menu, instead of the green and black. COOOLLLL!!!!

I tried to go into recovery from the Quick Boot app and that works too, NIICCEE!!!

I guess after you flash the ClockworkMod Recovery, you have to "initialize" it by going to it directly from ROM Manager, or else any other method you try won't work? I'm not sure but it seems like it.

A good lesson, glad I can fully enjoy the EVO again.

Cheers!

[Vibrant General] Pig Vomit:
Froyo source is out. The last ROM to leak out was KB1, and that was almost 3 weeks ago....and it came out not long after the official Froyo KA6. Forgive me for starting this discussion (or argument, depending on how this develops), but I'm thinking that the lack of any recent ROMs in conjunction with the release of KA6 Froyo source and absolute silence by Samsung on Gingerbread for Galaxy S pretty much means there is no way official Gingerbread is coming to Vibrant. I'm just saying. Not knocking Samsung (for this, anyway, no need to rehash everything Samsung SHOULD be knocked for), because they never promised Gingerbread. I'm guessing no more official Vibrant firmware development whatsoever is taking place.
[Vibrant General] regP:
I think (and this is just my opinion) we shouldn't get too ahead of ourselves worrying about gingerbread. Especially when we have some epic ROMs to look forward to now that the froyo source is out.

[Vibrant General] krylon360:
The reason there haven't been any leaks is because Samsung changed the ports on their FUS server. Haven't figured out which one it is yet.

Gingerbread is optimized for the Hummingbird while Froyo is optimized for the Snapdragon. It should give better performance. I finally had a chance to play with a NS for an extended time the other day and it is lightning fast bone stock. There are also some new api's that no one has begun to utilize...yet. It's like Eclair was - nothing special except for the processor boost.

So now that dual core cellular devices are not fairy tales, and about to be in the hands of consumers, I was wondering if people can chime in with knowledge on Android OS and how it will utilize dual cores.

I press the power button and swipe the unlock and usually nothing happens (no buzz and no movement of the bar).

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianlp:
OK.

The very last screen says success. From here you can upgrade to an official build, or one of the ROM's by DJ_Steve on Streakdroid.com.

If all you did was that tutorial, you are at build 308, which is unstable. You need to do the official upgrade to build 318, which is the upgrade you were waiting to do when you were waiting for Dell/AT&T when you were still on ver 1.6. You can now do that upgrade. Or you can continue on the the latest ROM upgrade courtesy of DJ_Steve.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
From this page at streakdroid.com:

To install the 318 build which fixes bugs in the build that QDLTool installs:

connect to a wifi network if you can

download the update directly to your phone from the link above

open the notification bar and select the download complete notification

you will be prompted to install the update

This method preserves your accounts and settings.
