The first post after OP already beat us to the punch, but he/she added a few smilies so it didn't seem like trolling.

Also, while the title of the thread could have been better, I will agree that posting this here really isn't that big of a deal as compared to other threads that are just blatant ignorance.

Here is why:

OP clearly stated the unsureness of where to post. OP clearly seems to have done some research. There is a sticky up top with ROM info that *can* be used as somewhat of a comparison, but it really seems to be lacking. The post really seems to have pointed out a weak spot, and there was some decent discussion about it.
[EVO 4G General] LyndenP:
Playing a little devils advocate sorry.

Man im frickin moody today...
[EVO 4G General] LyndenP:
Sirmx,

I think we are kinda on the same page, I can just be an ass.
[EVO 4G General] snappydave:
There seem to be so many variables which affect comparisons between ROMS that any single summary would probably not be accurate for lots of people. For one, your EVO behaviour with any ROM, from what I have read and personally experienced, can be dramatically influenced by your hardware version.

Some EVOs don't like undervolting or overclocking as much as others so you may find a ROM/Kernel combination totally unstable while others quote it as rock solid.

I also have different experience with the same ROMS depending on whether I wipe/flash with CW or Amon recovery (Amon is much better IMHO).

I am trying to do everything at once with my phone... Primary internet connection at home, business phone (can phone and hotspot at the same time on 4G) and use navigation a lot etc...

So far I usually end up running into random rebooting with any dev. ROM and have to wipe/reflash to get better again.. Again, this may be a quirk with my phone...

Best advice is to try them all and see what works best for you... One improvement to the ROM Wiki could be to add info on what works and what doesn't for each ROM. For instance no 4G or no GPS for any ROM would be a deal breaker for me.
[EVO 4G General] tramane:
Didnt AndroidSpin.com have a feature matrix of ROMS?

Or did they do away with that portion of the site
[EVO 4G General] Jykinturah:
Personally I run CM7. Ever since the introduction of WiMax into CM7 I had no reason to return to Sense beyond the occasional Profile update or ##code input.

I am somewhat suspicious of MIUI. I prefer open source, and... The fact that the one time I did flash MIUI, I was greeted by a picture Mao... Let's just say it was all downhill from there.

CM has also run the smoothest/fastest for me, could be the fact that I use ADW EX. I have had some issues with battery life, but all were solved when stable builds were used.

Sometimes there is a problem here or there, I do some searching and often find a solution. Most sense ROMs I have used have launchers that I personally find frustrating, and to be honest, if I am not using Sense widgets, I don't need Sense.

I have yet to use a customized kernel for CM7. I scrutinize kernels for my phone before flashing them. Didn't like SBC, never used it. I usually only get a custom kernel once a stable build of CM is released. Which kernel I get depends on which I read the most good things about.

I am somewhat interested in battery life. I am not an avid phone gamer. I tend to like customization of the look and feel of my phone, so theming is common for me. CMs new theme engine made all of that much much easier. I heard MIUI had a theme engine as well, but tbh I am not really interested in MIUI.

Just what I personally think.

You should spend some times and read the threads of each ROM. I usually skip to the last page and read a few pages backward just to get a general consensus for the ROM/kernel/theme.

If you want to get the best ROM for yourself, only you can look for it.

And so I will take my leave with a common phrase stated by Starcraft players: Good Luck, Have Fun.
[EVO 4G General] toddlmr:
You obviously don't know anything about miui other than what you saw on a screen shot. Other than a few icon similarities in one theme its nothing like ios.
[EVO 4G General] chumba8:
All I know is I flash a lot of roms and I haven't looked at another rom since cm7 had 4g
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Nothing like iOS... um ok?

The following in MIUI resemble iOS

-menus

-launcher

-dialer

-phone

Don't get me wrong, I was using MIUI since November when Bcnice first started with the project, but to say its not iOS like or iOS inspired is a stretch. I say was because I am now using CM7.

In regards to the OP's request, I do not know of such a comparison, but it may be a great opportunity to create something like what you are looking for so that the next person will have this option. I did something like this at ppcgeeks.com with the TP2 where I offered a summary of the ROM with links and benchmarks. Many users found it very helpful, I found it to be very time consuming so stopped updating...;)
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Agreed, I wasn't sure if I would find a ROM I liked more than MIUI, but I did with CM7.
[EVO 4G General] alaman68:
Liked CM7 a lot but couldn't get hulu, 8 mp camera or 720 video to work so it was back to sense for me. Using Koni Elite II with Launcher Pro so it doesn't look like sense anymore, which is nice.
[EVO 4G General] JSmurfy:
i have to be quite honest i hate apple anything but that MIUI rom is SOLID and can hold its own.. i ran it for a couple days.. hats off to the developers..

i preferred to stay more android ish after all but that rom is spot oon.. the work that goes into that is WOW... well i said my piece and out i go.. =)
[EVO 4G General] JSmurfy:
i think im the only person in this whole forum that does not use HULU hahaha dammit :eek:
[EVO 4G General] wvjw:
Not to fear, i have never used HULU on the phone, or on a computer.

As to the flaming I figured I would get worse for not having this in the precise spot in the forums.

I do appreciate all the feed back, both positive and negative, and the advice on where to search. I don't post a lot, however this has been the best feedback by far from when I have posted. While it seems that a lot of people appreciate CM for me it almost seems to bare bones. Maybe I havent given it enough of a chance yet.

Plus I figure if I admit my ignorance up front it gives the trolls less fodder to beat me up on.

Thanks again!

You need to grab that framework file from where ever you got the netfilx apk.

ya, and i just now read the rest of your post, you have done that already :P
[Atrix 4G Android Development] malfuncion:
maybe I did something wrong?

I grabbed the com.google.tv.prefence.jar from the framework folder- do I need the odex? Do I need to deodex the jar?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] designgears:
ya, you need the odex and the jar, deodex them, then I bet it would work
[Atrix 4G Android Development] malfuncion:
I started over from scratch cause I think the netflix apk was messed up- same results. here's the steps I went through-

1) I re-deodexed the netflix and com.google.tv.preference.jar - I attached them to this reply for anyone else who wants to give it a go

2) Moved the jar to the system/framework then set permissions back

3) Tried to install via ADB and by pushing it. I have tried to stick it in the system/app/ dir and reboot- still notta.

What else could it be? Think I could be missing some other dependencies? It keeps crying about the preference but its there..?

are you trying to execute the apk or did you fire off the start-netflix-service script? I was looking at that script and it has parts about INTEL specific SDK. if those are related I dont think this thing will work...

[Atrix 4G Android Development] malfuncion:
If youa re interested in the chrome part- here is what another member has done..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9573308&postcount=3

Basically sent all dependencies and got stuck in a bootloop....

As for netflix- it looks like it has a service that starts in the background for DRM. This service may be portable, but it is beyond me as it calls some Intel Specific SDK options. I think the apk (app) calls on the service whenever you want to watch a movie. THe service brings the movie in, and then mirrors output to the app. This is what I getting from a few scripts, I may be WAAAAY off base here though. I think we may have a good possibility of porting the netflix app to webtop and maybe chrome, if someone wants to take a stab at it. I took it as far as I could, @DG- you get any further?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] link12245:
aren't those programs meant to work on an x86 application (most google tv boxes that I've seen use intel atom processors). Wouldn't it be a pita to get them working on our ARM phones?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] malfuncion:
you are correct, the GoogleTV is an intel device. There are certain scripts in the dump that reflect that. However there are other instances that call the Android API solely to which we may be able to port them. The intel part is more specific to drivers and the way android OS interacts with the system. Still, laying inside there is true android and DEVs are currently working to port normal apps to gTV

I am not so sure if Chrome is one of them that uses x86 API's or not. I was mainly focused on the netflix part. from some of the structure of the zip it does look like Chrome is in the same boat as Netflix.

The netflix is going to be a PITA in of itself without some MAJOR help. I think even if we ported it- it would be a moot point as we will probably get a REAL working Netflix before anyone made major headway with this one.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] robonoob:
Don't mean to sh#t in yer Wheaties but from what I understand the Netflix app is going to require a drm signature specifically from snapdragon processors to work....not a dev but heres a link to the article I read...http://www.talkandroid.com/30458-ne...ws,+Rumours,+and+Updates)&utm_content=Twitter
[Atrix 4G Android Development] malfuncion:
dont mean to sound like a douche, but did you not read the thread? Look about 3 posts up, this was covered. Netflix runs a service(script) that handles the DRM for the GTV. That script seems to pull in the media from netflix, auth it, then pipe it to the app. Without porting the service over the app is worthless. Netflix will come up with a solution before we will, thats a given.

As for the continuing of the thread, I am currently looking at the Chrome piece. However, like mentioned in another thread, I too get stuck at the stale dependencies. Chrome looks to be bust on this as well.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] jay_tea:
Netflix has code for the Snapdragon...

I looked around a bit on the neet looking at netflix on android. It appears that they have placed a NetFlix app one an LG Revolution at CES. It this is legit, and we can get a copy of the app, we should have almost everything we need to run netflix on the Atrix.

I had a link here, but I'm too new to the forum to post it :-(

The LG Revolution uses a Snapdragon MSM8655 CPU (Cortex 8 I believe). The Atrix also uses a Snapdragon CPU, the Cortex 9.

According to ARM, "the scalable Cortex-A9, the market-proven Cortex-A8 processor, and the high-efficiency Cortex-A5 processors all share the same architecture and therefore full application compatibility." (Anther missing link, you should be able to google this one easily).

So, if we can get our hands on the NetFlix app that was running on the that or another LG Revolution, we will be in business. This way we are dealing with code that should execute natively on the Atrix CPU.

Anyone down for hunting? I'd expect that NetFlix hasn't put this "beta" on many phones yet, so it might not be easy to track it down and dump it, but if anyone has any ideas or a way, I'd appreciate it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rjohnstone:
The Atrix does not use a Snapdragon CPU.

It uses an NVIDIA Tegra 2 Cortex A9 dual core CPU. ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jmhalder:
yeah, netflix has been discussed in the EVO forums IIRC, and as expected its using C code that has been compiled for x86, which is obviously not going to work on any current android phone, even if the APK doesn't have x86 code, some of the libraries or other dependencies will. As for Chrome, I'd think it would have to have x86 compiled C code as its not like they rewrote everything in java :rolleyes:

Hey,

I gotta a problem. My phone will only sync my main gmail calendar, and not my subcalendars, which is a real pain in the ass. My gmail structure is the following:

Home (Main calendar)

Uni (Sub calendar)

Work (Sub calendar)

Sport (Sub calendar)

If I edit, add or delete a event in Home from desktop it sync's, same thing if I do it on the phone. However it doesn't sync with my sub calendars (it doesn't get any events down, so calendars are empty on phone), so if a add a event on my phone it doesn't sync to gmail, if I add on gmail it doesn't sync to phone :confused:

Checked the settings, all the calendars are set to sync and be visible, have manually sync'ed a 1000 times. It started to happend sometime late last week, haven't had any problems before :(

[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
I'm a Linux/UNIX hack, so I play around a lot with shell scripts on my Epic, as well as just doing many things from ConnectBot and adb.

Everything's great from ConnectBot -- the emulator supports ANSI escape sequences, so it works perfectly with vi, command-line editing, etc. Great on the go!

However, I'd like to do the same thing when connect via 'adb shell' from my PC, and that's where it all goes to crap. The DOS command prompt window doesn't seem to support ANSI, window size is not passed through adb, so vi is unusable. Oddly, command-line editing seems to work. Also, I seem to be getting every command echoed, creating a spurious line.

Bottom line: I want to adb a local shell on my Epic from my PC and be able to use it the same way as I do on the phone itself via connectbot, yet with the obvious advantage of a big screen and normal keyboard. Anyone have any solution to this?

Thanks!!

QuickSSHd with PuTTy would probably get you what you're looking for, with the added benefit of being wireless.

[Epic 4G General] curvatura99:
Setup adb to use telnet and forward a local port, then you can use PuTTY to telnet into the local port. Details in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=535014
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Oh, so close!! The thread above has the answer. In short, have adb listen to a local port on the Windows machine and forward it to the device, start the telnet server, and then use PuTTY to telnet into the device (from a Windows cmd prompt):

> adb forward tcp:9999 tcp:23

> adb shell telnetd

adb must be running as root.

Then, use PuTTY to telnet to localhost:9999 (the Windows machine @ 127.0.0.1, port 9999).

Almost works, except the telnet daemon on my Epic is refusing to connect! Looks like a security thing or something. Basically, I get the age-old UNIX telnet daemon message,

Entering character mode

Escape character is '^]'
​

but instead of a "login:" prompt, the connection is immediately closed with the message,

Connection closed by foreign host
​

This happens if I try to telnet locally to 127.0.0.1:23 on the Epic itself!!

Without telnetd running, there's no response (as expected). So clearly telnetd is running, listening to the port, responding to it, but just refusing to allow a login.

Any suggestions as to what's wrong? Is interactive login disabled or something?

BTW, this works wirelessly too -- don't need adb at all. Just get a shell prompt on the Epic and start telnetd. Then, you can use PuTTY (or any telnet client) to connect via wifi to <EpicIP>:23.

I tried this too, connected, but have the same instant disconnect problem.
[Epic 4G General] jmandawg:
I know this thread is old, but the solution might help someone. You need to start telnetd like this so it will invoke the shell when you telnet in:

I had to adb shell into the phone then run:

# busybox telnetd -l /system/bin/ash
[Epic 4G General] poorting:
As I'm new here I cannot post links, but if you google for 'Better cmd.exe terminal and ANSI color codes support' you will find another option then port forwarding etc.

Essentially using an alternative cmd.exe (Console) together with an ANSI helper program (ANSICON).

Did the trick for me at least.
