    Root Prepping SD card for New Phone

    Like many of you, I assume, I've got a rooted EVO 4G, and also like many of you, that phone will be retired on Friday when my EVO LTE arrives. I'd like to take a few things with me over to the new phone, but I'd prefer to ditch most of it to start with as clean a slate as possible on the SD...

    Root HTC Unlock Bootloader = Root?

    Pardon what may be a silly question, but using the HTC Bootloader Unlock tool wasn't an option when I rooted my EVO, so I haven't really had much exposure to it. Is there any functional difference between using HTC's tool and rooting a device through some other means? Does Sprint cripple the...

    Root Lean, Fast, Sense-Based Rom

    Been running CM7 for a while, and GPS has conked out and I can't seem to get it going again. Works when I flash a Sense ROM, but even trying to use the CM GPS fix, I can't get it to work when running CM7. Anyway, I need GPS so it looks like I've got to use a Sense-based ROM, but I'll likely...

    Root Latest and Greatest ROM?

    Sooo, been running Cyanogen 7 for a while now and it's been working like a champ. Can't say I really have any complaints at all. With that said, part of me is ready for a change, if only for the sake of change. What are the latest, most popular ROMS out there right now that people are...

    Unlock Wallpaper in ADW EX?

    Really stupid question I'm sure, but I'm at a loss. Just started running ADW EX, and the way it started up, the wallpaper is locked in place and does not scroll left and right as you move around the home screens (i.e., it looks exactly the same regardless of which screen you're on). I'm sure...

    Help Backup/Restore Problem

    Am trying to do a nandroid backup using Amon-Ra 2.3, and it just keeps laying down line after line of dots, taking much longer than I would expect (20-30 minutes), and never finishes. Same deal if I try to restore an older backup. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm at a loss. Is it a problem...

    Titanium Backup -- How Much Space?

    Looking to back up my apps using Titanium Backup. Two questions: 1. It says I have 145 MB on my internal memory, and 3.37 GB on my SD card. If I'm just backing up the apps, anyone have a sense of approximately how much space it will take up? 2. Once a backup is made, do people typically...

    Help Music Location on SD Card

    Trying to load some tunes onto my phone by just attaching the phone to my computer and dragging it over. Where exactly should it go? Not seeing a folder called "Music." There is a "media" folder -- does it go there? thanks, and pardon what is likely a ridiculous question

    Bare bones twitter widget?

    Looking for a widget to put on a home screen to post to twitter. Looking for something as clean, basic, and understated as possible, preferably without a lot of color or logos or anything. Anyone got any suggestions?

    Root Help!! Flashing ROM using ROM Manager -- stuck

    Trying to flash my first ROM, using this guide. I follow the instructions, and after selecting the ROM, it flips to a white screen with three skateboarding androids at the bottom with an assortment of recovery/booting options. Absolutely nothing is happening. I know it says to be patient, but...

    Help Impossible to Disable 4G

    I'm trying to only turn on 4G when I need it, to preserve battery. For some reason, no matter how many times I turn it off, every time I look at my phone, it has re-enabled itself. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? it is killing my battery to have it constantly on 4G. Rooted...

    Root ROM Recommendations: Perflock Disabled, 4G on, and Trickle Charge

    I'm looking to switch from a stock ROM to a custom, and I'm a little overwhelmed. I'm not really looking for anything that has a lot of UI bells and whistles, or that adds or deletes a lot of apps, because I'd probably do that on my own anyway. All I really care about, honestly, is having a...

    Help WiFi v 4G v 3G v ? Hierarchy

    Can someone explain to me how the phone treats the various ways to get wireless data, in terms of which one "trumps" the others? For example, if you have wireless on and 4G on, I think that if there's an available WiFi connection, that trumps all of the others, but I'm not sure about that...

    Root SetCPU and Perflock Disabler

    I'm a bit confused about the perflock disabler in SetCPU. I'm running a rooted EVO 4G with stock ROM and kernel. I know that perflock needs to be disabled for SetCPU to be able to do its thing, but I'm confused about whether it needs to be done every time I boot up my phone, or whether doing...

    EVO Shift v Epic

    My wife is due for an upgrade from her Moment, which she hates, and wants a 4G phone with a physical keyboard, so I guess these are the options on Sprint. Are you all happy with your Epics? Any thoughts on one over the other?

    JuiceDefender v SetCPU v Tasker

    What is the thinking on which of these is the best way to increase battery life? I'm rooted, stock ROM and kernel, to the extent it matters. For those of you using Tasker to manage battery life, how do you have it set up? Looks like this is the best resource I've seen re SetCPU settings...

    Help Microsoft OWA Access

    I'm trying to get my wife set up with her work email on her phone. For reasons that stun me, OWA is the only option she has. She's been using Seven for a while, which worked great, but that spontaneously quit and we can't figure out how to get it back up and running. Are there any other...

    Help for a Moron re Tasker, Text Widget and/or Minimalistic Text

    Can someone help a dude out? I'm trying to create text icons for apps and people along these lines (see screenshot from Text Widget). I've downloaded Text Widget, but that only seems to want to let me create static text. I've also downloaded Minimalistic Text, and while that's great for...

    Root Rooting without Custom Rom

    Just got an EVO a week or so ago, am planning on rooting once unrEVOked is updated to work with 3.30. Here's the question: I'm primarily interested in rooting to be able to remove Sprint's bloatware, and maybe try out the tethering. If you have root access, can you just freely delete the...

    Accessories EBay Batteries

    Been long enough since the last post on this that there may be some new impressions based upon usage, so here goes: what's the thinking on those ebay batteries that you can get for like $5-10? Are they worth a hill of beans, or do they work for a bit and then conk out (which is my fear)...
