Don't remove your screen protector! Don't cut your screen protector! FIX YOUR PROXIMITY SENSOR IN YOUR 5.1 ROM! This little modification is the result of a lot of code back-tracing and trial and error by me, and some very helpful testing and feedback from users in my MeanPop ROM thread! So...

This guide shows how to solve the screen wake lag on Samsung devices which can be almost 2 seconds from button press to actual screen-on depending on configuration and whether or not an external SD card is used. You're probably here because you've figured out that all the tricks listed in other...

Since removing the extra "USB Connected" notification from my ROM, I've been getting a lot of questions about how to remove that notification so I thought I'd put the answer in one place. This is a simple mod (one once you know where to find it). As usual, this post assumes knowledge of...

MeanBean for the Evo 4G LTE! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To be clean: mostly stock look and feel of JB/Sense 4+ To be mean: apply dual core and other tweaks to run the JB base to its maximum...

With the 2.13 base, haptic feedback of the capacitive keys was reduced significantly. I've gotten a few requests to "please find a way to put it back to the way it was on the prior base". I have to agree it's a bit "dainty" and difficult to detect on 2.13 and I found a simple solution to those...

Some of you may have seen this in my MeanROM thread, but I thought I'd start a thread for it for others who may have the problem. I noticed a few days ago that my phone was no longer ringing while roaming. People would call and it goes straight to voicemail while roaming. I tried all manner...

Finally got the time to hack some files to make 4x5 Sense rosie available on the Evo 4G LTE. This post is like most guides: assumes some knowledge of apktool, hex editing, and other programming "skills". Note that this post is designed for 720p displays so the numbers like the cell gaps might...

When I got my phone, I was going to get the $15 pack of Sprint screen protectors: the dry ones I've always used. Except... they were anti-glare and they don't have clear and I don't like the sparkles and reduced resolution of anti-glare or matte screen protectors. So the store talked me into...

for the Evo 4G LTE! MeanROM ICS goals: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To be clean: mostly stock look and feel of ICS/Sense 4 To be mean: apply dual core and other tweaks to run the ICS base to its...

I heard through a pretty reliable source that MeanROM ICS is due out for the Evo 4G LTE within the next 24 hours. Possibly even a prelim version tonight. Just want to make sure everyone has a working F5 key. :D Mike

OK, so I have my eye on the SGS3. I'd like to be able to develop for that like I do my Evo 3D, but I have a few questions since I don't have the phone and there's a lot of experience here. I could probably spend an hour or so searching for this stuff but I figure I might get better ideas from...

Introducing MeanROM ICS! MeanROM ICS goals: To be clean: mostly stock look and feel of the ICS/Sense To be mean: apply dual core and other tweaks to run the ICS base to its maximum potential To be nice: provide cool functionality not present in the stock base NEWS/HAPPENINGS...

Introducing MeanROM MeanROM goals: To be clean: mostly stock look and feel of the HTC 2.17.651.5 base To be mean: apply dual core and other tweaks to run the 2.17.651.5 base to its maximum potential To be nice: provide cool functionality not present in the stock base :eek: ==> STOP - You're...

After installing and playing with two 2.17.651.5 based ROM's, it's hard to give up the new base because it is so fast and efficient. That said, 2.17.651.5 changed a lot, and tweaks are limited at this point. I thought I'd share a couple of tweaks I put together that work well on the three...

Bought the $35 Chichitec batteries (2) and charger off Amazon for $35. They have a good rating and I needed some spares. On the first discharge, I was down to about 40% and decided to restart my phone using hold-power, restart, normal. I was running CleanROM 2.9.5 which I had been on for...

Having run System Panel for a couple weeks and finding it useful, I found another app that reports per-process CPU usage using built-in Android OS tools. I found that System Panel, while it didn't use a lot of resources, did use enough to cause a little battery drain. Here's an app that will...

Looks like HTC improved some things with the camera but my major complaint is still there. Even with every possible enhancement and option (including image review) turned off, there is still a 0.5 to 1.0 second lag when taking a picture in bright lighting even after everything is already...

Is there a way to complain to Google at a high level and get a refund for a market purchase? My daughter tried to buy $2.60 worth of "points" for "Pretty Pet Salon" 3 days ago. She brought me the money and I clicked the link, it took me to the market, where I paid and it said it would be...

This 1-2 second delay on the camera shutter and all the camera lockups is getting old. Anyone heard any rumors on when the next OTA will be released to fix all the bugs? I mean, other than the vague August/September that we heard a month ago regarding the HTC unlock? Mike

OK, tell me if this is a pipe dream. I'm rooted and am pretty satisfied with the stock ROM plus bloat freezer to kill bloat. So starting with stock/root, if you simply do the OTA's as they are released here (and don't take them OTA), is it safe to just wipe cache and dalvik and then install...

Went to Daytona for a few days and was excited to get to try 4G for the first time. Had my Evo 4G for a year and never got to try it because, well, it's available about nowhere. So I get there and I see 4G! on the notification bar. Turned it on just to see "Scanning...

Applied s-off, root, and twrp and everything works perfectly except that when I do adb shell and type su, it waits about 10 seconds and says "permission denied". All apps get super user permissions and all root apps work fine, so why would I get "permission denied" when I go to adb shell...

Just reporting that Bloat Freezer (bought it a long time ago for my old Evo 4G) works great with the new perm root and s-off. Well, that's no surprise but I just thought I'd comment about it because it took me all of 5 minutes to go through all the apps on the phone and I only froze the ones I...

I'd be interested in what other see when you put the attached on your phone and view it. Just drop the mpo file on the sd card under DCIM\100MEDIA and then view it via the gallery. Turn the phone landscape with the capacitive buttons on the right. When you hold the phone as you would to view...

Hadn't seen it mentioned here so I thought I'd share. I made a screen protector that fits nicely over the camera glass on the back of the phone. I think that camera glass is pretty tough (in fact, I personally think only the camera glass is Gorilla Glass) but I still feel better with it...

Let's see if HTC has corrected the crooked screen issue with later hardware versions. To see if you have a crooked screen: turn the display on and have enough ambient light so you can see the blackout on the top layer of glass. Compare the edge of the lit LCD underneath the blackout. Is the...

Can someone else confirm this... When using the portrait (small) keyboard when typing a text message, if I press the "P" button anywhere to the left of center (say the left 30% of the button), I get an "O" instead. It looks like the letter "O" will get pressed if you press anything from the...

Tonight I was pulling up songs for my daughter to sing at karaoke (they didn't have a good selection) and every time I approached the table with the amps and sound equipment, the 3vo freaked out. First it started backing out of YouTube. Then in the middle of YouTube it called the first number...

Noticed today that Roam Control has an update that says it works with the Evo 3D without even needing root. Anyone try it? Seems to work but my phone is rooted. Anyone without root confirm it works? Mike

Since we now have more than one solution that provides full root access between reboots, I figured I'd try writing a shell script to run fre3vo. I can... and it runs... but I get the message "this device is not supported by this exploit". So why does it run from ADB and not a script? Does the...

First, props to TeamWin, joel.bourquard, theintelligent, and maybe a few others I'm not aware of... Second, these are Windows instructions. If you have another OS, you can open the batch files and type the commands inside (or paste them) one by one. Third, keep in mind that the current temp...

OK, maybe I'm spoiled by the RAD tools I've been using but I just can't find a real IDE for Android code development. To me, a real IDE is one where you can drag a button to the form, click on the button, go to the "methods" tab, click in the "OnClick" event, and type your code that executes...

So when I go to the local Sprint store, they recommend the PDANet app as a way to tether for free. Great. I use it on the laptop. Works fine. But if I simply want to eliminate the USB cable and do exactly the same thing, they charge a dollar a day to eliminate the USB cable? I can't be the...

Been spending too much time flipping back and forth between the dev forum and here trying to find the latest scoop on what is going on with a permanent root solution. With the threads getting closed and people getting banned over on the dev forum, not even the devs are posting any real updates...

I've tried a few. Closest looked like it would be "Mr. Number" but it doesn't really look anything up. Basically all numbers show either the city only or nothing. With all the free reverse phone lookups out there, seems like there would be an app that could do a quick lookup and display the...

Never had this problem on the Evo 4G but now that my wife and I are both using Our Groceries on our Evo 3D's, after a while using it (mostly adding items to the list and maybe creating/changing categories), the entire app becomes unresponsive. When you flick to scroll a list for example, it'll...

Mad props to TeamWin and all the devs for the root work, but I feel like a thread like this should exist for those thinking of playing with the current temp root. Most of the information out there would lead you to believe that the temp root can be used by the general user to root the phone and...

OK I really hope this is a bug! I thought at first the lag was due to indoor low light but even if you prefocus with a half shutter press, the camera still takes up to two seconds to actually take the shot and by then, the subject is often gone. Exposure time is way too long with flash too:its...

Searched but couldn't find this specifically. When my phone is charging and charging is complete but it is still plugged in and it receives an incoming call that is not answered, the screen goes dim after a little while but it NEVER turns off. It doesn't do that off the charger: screen does...

I watched the entire Green Hornet movie in 3D last night and I experienced no eye strain or headaches at all. I never took a break to even pause it: just watched it all the way through. In fact, about 10 minutes into the movie my eyes adjusted to the whole 3D thing and it seemed perfectly...

OK, so I was all geared up to get the disappointing news because I checked at Best Buy and also on my online Sprint account and both said I'd only get $75 off because I got the Evo 4G last year and I'm only "early upgrade" eligible. I'm posting here because I found Sprint running some...
