    How to delete my own messages?

    Sometimes I post a message then realize that it was a mistake. Instead of cluttering up the forum with a "oops ignore this" how about enabling the option to delete one's own messages?

    [root] Need unmodified debuggerd for KOT49H (4.4.2)

    StickMount changed /system/bin/debuggerd and for some reason the /system/bin/debuggerd.backup that I found is the same damn modified version. So the OTA to go to KTU84L (4.4.3) fails for unexpected contents (SHA mismatch) on /system/bin/debuggerd. Can someone please post the standard...

    Root "Application Data Space is Low" - Unbelievable Find! [**ROOT**]

    I have been wrestling with ever-increasing usage of /data/data in my HTC Incredible phone. It is limited to 140MB. Like many others, I got "Application data space is low" and I'm down to 14MB. I looked around and found that my Contact Storage which I recalled was about 30Mb (for 450 or so...

    Root Sweet solution to "Low on memory" (root required)

    By now, we must all know about the 150MB limit on the /data/data partition and how easy it is to fill it up, resluting in those annoying "Low on memory" messages. And this while there is like 6Gb free on the phone itself!! Solution: NotEnoughSpace On the Incredible, you have loads of /emmc...

    Root Details on Installing Nov OTA to Rooted Incredible

    I've gotten a couple of requests for details on installing the November OTA to a rooted Incredible 2.2 S-OFF without wiping the phone and still having root when done.

    Root Simple unrEVOked 3 rooting for stock Incredible or Evo on 2.2

    After spending many hours online helping people get their Incredible and Evo phones rooted with the unrEVOked 3.21 Reflash tool, I've learned a lot. I rooted my Incredible which has the OTA 2.2 update as well, so I have personal experience. UnrEVOked 3.21 is a 1-click rooting program. When it's...

    Root Universal Windows USB Drivers (ADB, BootLoader, Disk Drive, HTC Sync)

    Monitoring the traffic on the unrEVOked IRC channel, it's clear that there is a ton of confusion about the USB drivers needed, despite the excellent article on the unrEVOked site. I thought I'd maybe add to that or create an alternative article. There are three different modes in which the...

    Screen Shot without SDK?

    I was moving pix off my SD card today, from the usual dcim\100MEDIA folder, and noticed a dcim\Camera folder I'd never seen before. Inside was a strangely (numerically) named JPG from a few days ago. It was an Android screen shot of the WeatherBug app! I was traveling, not in my office. No way...
