    Root Could somebody look at my ADB commands and tell me what I am doing wrong? (Apps2sd)

    I'm trying to activate apps2sd in Fresh 1.0.1. So I partitioned my card using Amon's RA recovery. I gave it 32MB swap memory and 512MB of Ext2 memory. Then I upgraded the Ext2 to Ext3. The recovery program makes if very simple. But neither the phone nor Fresh will recognize the partition. it...

    So this might seem obvious, but the "Battery Left" widget is only accurate if you only use 1 battery

    So just wanted to publicly confirm here what I had assumed- if you switch out batteries the 'battery left' widget never gets a chance to fully calibrate. Later.

    Accessories Gizmo dorks rubberized case cover: The thinnest, smallest, best fitting case yet

    Amazon.com: Gizmo Dorks Rubberized Case Cover (Black) for the Sprint HTC EVO 4G: Cell Phones & Service It's like $4. I've spent probably a total of $100 trying to find a case that is not too big. I really only like my phone naked, though. Then I bought this on a whim because it was so...

    Help HDMI does not work? How to enable playback of anything?

    I know that there are conflicting reports as to what plays and what doesn't through the HDMI port. I finally bought a cable. I plugged it in to my phone and the TV. The tv automatically switched to "480p" and goes black (like it is about to do something). But it stays black. For anything...

    Can I root a new Evo? Or are new ones all patched up now?

    Just curious what the verdict is there. I had no problem rooting my first one, but now I have a bunch of paid root apps to carry over and it would suck to not be rooted because they are shipping with a patch or something. Does anyone know the answer?

    ZAGG has my official seal of "least crappiest protective skin"

    I tried them all. Went buck wild and spent a mint on trying to get one that I like. ZAGG didn't fit right around the edges and I had to take a nail scissors to it to get it to fit. But it seems to not ruin the display. Which I don't get. When I had my blackberry all these skins were great on...

    My screen has a tiny nick on it and I'm very bummed out about it.

    I baby this phone, but am in between screen protectors. I don't know how it happened, but there is a tiny nick in the screen toward the bottom. It looks like a large-ish piece of dust that will never come off. Would any of you out there pay the $100 to get a new phone under the insurance, or...

    If I change the SMS or Voicemail icon, does the "unread count" still show up on the icon?

    Say if I use "Folder Organizer" to change out my stock icons. Will the unread counts still display on the icons? I think not, but I don't know if anyone out there has tried it. Thanks.

    I am new to Android. Can you install themes? If so, where do you get them? Market? I am slowly learning how to root, flash radios, etc., so feel free to get technical if you must! Happy 4th.

    How to you use custom icons?

    I'm looking at the "let us peek at you screens" thread/sticky. It looks like a lot of people are using custom icons for stock apps. How do you do that? I'm clueless and a noob. Any help is appreciated! Happy 4th weekend. EDIT: Like this one:

    Is there a way to disable application labels?

    Hello everyone. Is there a feature or a check box that I am missing that allows you to turn off the little text labels beneath the application icons on the home screen? I'm kind of doubtful, but a search did not return an answer. It would certainly clean up the home screen. Plus a lot of...

    Root Did I permanently unroot my phone?

    I used HTC to bring it back to "stock." Now installing PC36IMG.zip doesn't do anything at all. I get no superuser privileges. I can't even install superuser from the market. Does reverting to stock via HTC Sync permanently disable root? I can still boot up into Recovery manually and go back...

    Root ROM Manager: Is it just me or is it easier to just manually change ROMs?

    I don't want to say that this program is useless. It's just that I haven't found a use for it personally. Apparently, a lot of people out there like it. But why? I know that I am missing something. You can search for roms. I can do that with google. You can reboot into recovery. You can do...

    Root Can Fresh 0.3 users download today's HTC OTA update? I can't seem to.

    There is an OTA update that is supposed to do all sorts of good stuff for the phone. I can't download it though. Is it just me? Or is this a limitation of Fresh 0.3? Could someone please help me out here? I don't want to miss out here.

    Root Has a frame rate cap ever been broken before?

    I am a n00b to all things android. But I'm up to speed on rooting. What I am not up to speed on is the frame rate. I want to keep this phone so bad because I love it. But you know what the one thing the iPhone has over us? Smooth transitions and stuff. I know that has to do with fps. I...

    HDMI out question: Can you output streaming video/audio to the TV?

    I subscribed to JetFlix, in the market. (Jetflicks! TV - Android app on AppBrain) It is a $3 app with a $10/month subscription. I watch it on my phone in my car at the lake during my lunch break. I know that probably sounds sad, but it is AWESOME. I'm a manager in the dang corporate world, and I...

    How are the $5 Chinese batteries working out for those who have bought them on eBay?

    I have been thinking about buying some of these batteries and leaving them at home and office. This would effectively solve my battery problems. I remember seeing some posts about people buying these. How have they held up? Do they work? Do you get a few hours out of them before they die...

    Has anyone blacked out the red part of the phone around the camera lens? If so, how?

    I want to do that because I don't like the red poking through. I'm sure that others do. Just thought I'd ask if anyone blacked theirs out, though. Ideas are appreciated. That is all.
