Updated OP with new links to updated version of plugin, I had to add support for a few more devices in the HTC_DEVICE enum and added a few more fields.

Also, spread the word about this. This will only work and go big if people develop plugins for it!

Nice work, Dan.

I think I'm going to try this for the OG EVO .

 

[regaw_leinad]

Updated OP with new build of the Tester application as well as new plugin template zip (if you already built one, it will still work). Got rid of using MEF for the plugins, I just wrote my own easier system.

 

[regaw_leinad]

Dang, just realized I left out a few fields I needed to be in the plugin. New version coming soon. And yes, you will have to rebuild your plugin to make it compatible.

 

[regaw_leinad]

I'm making great progress on this. I removed the need to reference an external dll to create the plugin, now you just need to reference the application itself as I implemented the plugin interface into it. This cuts back on a lot of confusion, as well as keeps it more organized. I'll put out an updated version tomorrow (Wednesday the 18th) and a whole new plugin zip.

Updated OP with new download. Got rid of the need to reference the external dll to create the plugin. Now you just reference the application itself (included in zip).

The actual program is in the final testing phase, as stated in the OP, the one included in the zip is just a tester application. I should be releasing the full application very soon, as I have successfully built a zip for the EVO 4G LTE with it.

For other devices - will the S-OFF method matter? The OG EVO is an mtd device, and Revolutionary flashes a custom HBOOT to the device. However, it can be overwritten just by hex-editing an unmodified HBOOT to a higher number than Revolutionary.

Will that affect how the program works?

It won't actually affect the program if you get all of the details correct. If you can flash an unsigned PC36IMG.zip on the EVO, then this should work.

If you're familiar with Visual Studio, then just drag and drop the hboot image and android-info.txt file into the root directory of the project in the Solution Explorer. Creating this plugin shouldn't be too hard, I thought the instructions weren't too technical.




I'm going to have a build of the full application out soon.

Also, if you want to check it out, I'm working on this live on UStream right now.

Initial personal testing went well. I have a rehearsal to go to right now, but I should release the full application tonight if all goes well and I don't find any more huge bugs. Thank you PoorCollegeGuy for writing up an article on this! http://www.xda-developers.com/android/bootloader-customization-now-open-to-more-s-off-htc-devices/

In the last test version the max chars for the banner text was still 16 regardless of the settings. Hope this will be fixed in your release tonight.
