Hey folks, how are you? I'm writing because I'm having trouble with having a shared calendar show up on my EVO. My girlfriend originally had email A, which was her previous email address. I was sharing her Google Calendar with email A for months and it was fine. Recently she changed to email...

Hey y'all, me again. ;) This time, however, I have no problem or question that I need help with. I've had plenty of those of late. ;) I just wanted to pop on and say a big thank you to everyone in this forum who has helped me with my rooting saga of late, from NAND backups that wouldn't restore...

Hey y'all, how are you? I'm writing because I'm having an issue with my refurb 0003 EVO. Starting this morning, and for what reason I've no idea, the capacative buttons aren't lighting up properly anymore. They'll light up for a moment when rebooting the phone, but then won't again. The phone...

So I'm on my 2nd EVO, a refurb, since my original EVO had its USB port snap off its motherboard. With this new EVO I'm trying to be more careful, but I've noticed something. A couple of months ago I purchased these: Amazon.com: USB Data Charge Sync Cable for HTC Evo 4G: Cell Phones &...

So I need help. I tried to flash another ROM using Amon RA earlier, and the installation was aborted due to the following: assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot") I've since tried to restore the NAND backup I made using Amon RA, but the phone is stuck on the white screen...

Hey y'all, question? I was running Cyanogen, and backed up my ROM using Amon RA. Then, with Amon RA, tried to flash another ROM, which failed. I'm now restoring the backup, but it's been going for over an hour. Does a restore usually take this long? Thanks!

Hey y'all, how are ya? I'm writing because I wanna flash a new ROM onto my EVO, and have read reports that some folks prefer Amon Ra over ClockwordMod. However, using Amon Ra doesn't allow many of the features in ROM Manager, which the Cyanogen guys recommend using, it seems. That being said...

Hey y'all, how are ya? I hope this isn't a silly question, but I'm getting a replacement EVO soon (the USB port on mine snapped off the motherboard) and I was wondering how I can generate a list of apps that are on my phone so that I may redownload them. Appbrain seems to have a list, yes...

K, this is weird, I already began a thread about thread about this, but it disappeared. Weird. Anyway, I've had my first EVO since early September, but am now getting it replaced because the USB port snapped off the motherboard. I know I likely did some things (like charging it in the car and...

Hey y'all, how are you? I'm writing because I just flashed my first ROM, Cyanogen, and it's causing an odd issue with my battery. First, the battery drains very, very quickly, even after rebooting, and charges very, very slowly when plugged in. It took three hours, for example, to charge from 71...

Hey y'all, how are ya? Question. I was reading the Rooting for Dummies thread so I could do a manual NAND backup, and as it says in the instructions, I powered down, then powered on to go into HBoot by holding down the power and volume down button. However, when I go into the recovery menu...

Hey y'all, question. I used Root Explorer to remove HtcLockScreen.apk to get the original vanilla lock screen, but am told that might cause stability issues on my phone, so now I'm wondering, how can I get it back on my phone and put it back where it belongs. I'm using the stock ROM. :)...

Hey y'all, me again, hope y'all don't mind all the questions. :) I'm writing because I've recently removed the HtcLockScreen.apk file from my phone to get the vanilla Android lock screen, which I like a lot better than HTC's. However, someone mentioned that it could affect my battery life and to...

Hey y'all, how are ya? I'm writing because I have a conundrum. I'm trying to remove HTCLockScreen.apk from my phone, and neither Root Explorer and SystemApp Remover can backup, rename or delete the file since it's set as read-only. How can I change that so I can modify the file? Thanks in...

Hey y'all! I'm writing because my Body Glove case has cracked (for no reason I can discern) so I figured I'd use the opportunity to get one of those newfangled 3500 batteries like this one. I have a couple of questions though. First, are these cheap battery/case combos good/reliable...
