Howdy, So it's been a while since I came by here. I knew ICS came out a while ago, but because I have the new Evo LTE, I didn't immediately update my old Evo 3D. Today, I finally decided to do it. Of course, I missed out on all the threads that probably explained exactly what I needed to...

Just curious how much experience everyone has had with Android devices. My first Android device was the HTC Evo 4G for Sprint, released in June 2010. Being a Premier member, I was eligible for annual upgrades, so every year, I got the successor to the Evo: the Evo 3D in 2011 and most...

NOTE: If you are running JB (Android version 4.1.x), the following root exploits below will not work; they were designed for ICS. You'll have to wait for a new root exploit for JB. If you already rooted on ICS AND have a unlocked bootloader and recovery, you can safely take the JB update. You...

By chance, I opened ROM Manager and it told me a new CWM was available: 5.0.0.0. So I flashed it. Made a NANDroid with it. Just read in another forum that old NANDroids won't work with v5.0. So I'm going to test it. Will post results later. Not too concerned, since if I really wanted to, I...

I heard that some people were getting "Error 16" when trying to make an outgoing call after rooting. I had not experienced this after rooting (I tested when I heard people reporting this). But today, after I did a factory data reset, I had this problem. Made a call, and I got error 16. I...

As of this post, it would appear that the S-OFF tool, Revolutionary, may not successfully flash clockworkmod recovery for everyone. And once it S-OFFs your HBOOT, it won't run again, so there's no way to get it to retry the recovery flashing. The following is a guide on how to manually flash a...

S-OFF was a breeze, just like the leaked Sensation S-OFF video. The tool then prompts if you want clockworkmod recovery. say yes of course. Next step: back up my apps (just in case) and then flash the rooted stock ROM to get superuser.

Recently I decided to take a closer look at how the parallax barrier works. I grabbed an old 8x loupe from the old film camera supply box and looked through it. It was quite a neat sight. The parallax barrier is a series of vertical stripes, each one pixel wide, and from what I could tell...

I was playing with a View during launch and noticed that scrolling the Sense UI was very choppy. I gave the store demo unit a reboot, but it didn't help. Anyone else seeing this? Even the Evo 4G, which was known to have choppy scrolling frame rates, performed better than the view.
