HTC EVO 4G :: Conflicting Root Info?
Jun 6, 2010
There's a lot of noobish posts/replies about rooting and EVO here, so I'm trying to fully grasp what is true and what is not.A lot of posts/replies indicate you lose all of your data/apps/settings but I'm beginning to think that this only happens with the toastcfh root but NOT the unrevoked root. Can someone (who has a clue and has done this) please confirm?The sticky says that the OTA will kill the Root.This seems to contradict what unrevoked is saying on Twitter. So will it clobber the unrevoked root or the toastcfh root (or both)? I find it hard to believe unrevoked is wrong about their own app/testing/rooting.Next a lot of folks say wifi-tethering is broken. First off, I believe it wasn't "working" unless you used the Sprint Mobile WiFi HotSpot and are paying for it. So when someone says "its broken" that leads me to believe rooting the EVO breaks the Sprint Mobile WiFi Hotspot, which I kind of doubt, but want to confirm. Sure it likely doesn't resolve the MAC/ARP issue for android-wifi-tether app, but I'm not trying to get something for free here, I'm already paying for Sprint's Mobile Hotspot, I just don't want to break it.
My last question is for the UNIX folks out there - Has anyone found an Apache or similar web server which is ported to Android, which I could load? What about SSHD? IMHO, there's no point in rooting if I can't run a web server or SSH daemon. I don't care to kill the Sprint bloatware (kind of like it) as I have already resolved my battery issues (see my other post).

I just entered my app to ADC2 the other day.I hadn't realized before that it seems like we could have released the app in the marketplace after August 1st, which means I guess I missed out on a month of potential feedback, but there you go :-).Anyway, so I assume we are now free to upload our ADC submitted applications to the marketplace, which I tried to do today, but I encountered a problem.I got this message: "You have another application on Market with the same package name (fm.smart). Go to that other application, and click upgrade." So it seems my ADC submission is blocking a release of this app.

Bit random but I just noticed that my phone was displaying the icons for both 3g and wi-fi, rather than just wi-fi. Normally when there is a wi-fi signal the phone shuts down 3g.However, I could not connect to anything. I could turn off wi-fi and connect via 3g or turn of 3g and connect via wi-fi, but when both were on it seemed like both were trying to connect and getting confused.A reboot solved the issue. did I do something silly?

I just bought one of these cheap Chinese CECT Android phones (i9300 Samsung clone), which was advertised as running Android v4.0 (ICS). Looks good and works well.... but
When I go to SettingsAbout Phone it says it is running v4.0.3 which is fine.However, when I boot into recovery mode and select 'version' it says it is running Android Ver 2.3.6 (Gingerbread).Before I complain to the seller about false advertising, what is the true OS version of this phone, Gingerbread or ICS ? I would have thought that it is in fact running Gingerbread, but is their a quirt about this that I may be unaware of?

I'm trying to change my "Account Picture" in Handcent so that I'm not a silhouette with a question mark above my face in the chat threads. Unfortunately, when I go to change my Account Picture, it does nothing. Instead, it changes my X's home screen background to whatever picture I had selected for my Account Picture.

Everything is working fine, I can access the provider. The problem is that I want to create a demo version of my app and I want it to share the same content provider so when the user install the full version, the data is kept in sync. Also, it should be possible to install only the full or the demo version. Therefore, I have to include my content provider in both.Now, when I try to install both apps error message, obviously because both AndroidManifest declare the same content provider.Is there a way to tell in the Manifest that this content provider should be used only if it doesn't already exists ? Or another workaround ?A solution would be that the full version migrate the data from a demo content provider to the full version content provider, but I would rather avoid that.

I discovered that I can get all sorts of music playing within multiple apps at once. I had Pandora playing and then I clicked the headset button and got the music player going along with Pandora and dropped a call. I would consider that some serious software rule conflicts.

A couple of the reviews refer to the app space and say that none of the 8gb is for apps and you are constrained to the rom. This makes no sense, based on the 768mb free storage showing up in snapshots of some of the reviews. Logic is taking a hit here:
1. 768mb shows free for storage
2. Internal media memory shows 6.6gb
3. If 8gb flash, about 7.8 should show free (not 6.6)
4. If apps are constrained to the 512mb rom (as reviews state), the OS and preinstalled apps would take up space, so 220mb or less would be free with Android 2.1 and the Sense UI
5. 768mb free on a 512mb rom is impossible- even excluding how much space the OS and preinstalled apps take.

I have two different project A & B. Inside the project A I link the source from project B so activity from project A can start the activity from project B. I'm using Eclipse Galileo.The problem is, when I want to edit the value of a view in activity B, the resource id from both projects have some conflicts in it. So when I call findViewById() in activity B I got a view from the activity A instead.I've declared the activity B inside the AndroidManifest in project A. I've even tried to start the activity B as the entry point of the application but it didn't show anything at all. It's like the findViewById tried to search the view of project A only although I've specified the package name correctly.

I'm tired waiting 3 months for reply from Google Market. I requested them to help - no help, no explanation, so I hope, somebody will read at least this. I need to my software be removed from ADC2 part of Market, because for last 3 months, I CAN NOT set right name for my software in public Market. Do not direct me to Market groups - their "support" is dead.

I have a situation where I have some textview on a framelayout that I have a onTouch event wired in order to simulate dragging. I alos want to enable the ability to have a context menu display when the user long presses the textview. Now that I have implemented the context menu functionality dragging no longer works since the longpress is always served by the context menu event.Does anyone know of a workaround for this.

I am planning to buy a 32 gb micro sdhc card for my Xperia X10.However, I have found tons of confusing and conflicting information here on SE forums and all over the net.To my surprise, even Sony Ericsson itself giving conflicting information regarding this.On the product page of Xperia X10 (click this link and click on the specifications), it says that Xperia X10 supports microSD up to 16GB only.Whereas the official Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 White paper (on page no.5) says that it supports -microSD, up to 32 GB. (The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 White paper can be downloaded from this link).Now i urge someone, preferably an SE moderator or staff, to enlighten on this matter and answer how and why SE is giving contradictory and confusing statements regarding the sd card capability and compatibility for the same product?.

Coming from the iPhone (jailbroken), Lockinfo was probably the most essential part of that phone for me.I could see upcoming appointments and tasks pending on my to-do list without unlocking the phone.Everybody liked to bash Apple for wasting all that real-estate on the lockscreen but here I am with an Evo and it's just as bad as a stock iPhone lockscreen. Is there anything I can use to get some useful information up there?

I have a ListFragment that is populated using a CursorLoader. Once the ListFragment is populated, I have an OnItemClickListener method in which I want to identify which item from the List Fragment the user chose. How do I do this? I've tried:
Code:
String item = getListAdapter().getItem(position);
Code:
String item = getListAdapter().getItem(position).toString();
Code:
String item = (String) ((Fragment) getListAdapter().getItem(position)).getString(0);
Where position is an integer passed to the onClickItemListener method like so:
[code]....

I'm looking for an app/tweak that allows all the info such as my text messages, email, etc to appear on the lockscreen without having to use the drop down gesture? Basically kind of like having the Notification Center on iPhone available right when I click on the power button of my phone. Or if you guys are familiar with LockInfo, which is a Cydia app for iPhone, I'd like to find an app that does exactly what LockInfo does:
