    Root [GUIDE] Full bash shell with nano, tab completion, and color over ssh

    I cobbled all of this together from various places on the web, but I think the credit for the binaries goes to Paul @ MoDaCo. Nandroid before going any further! Files you'll need: QuickSSHD (Download this from the Market. $1.50). I'm just going to assume if you're still reading, you know what...

    Root How-to read CPU scale while display is off.

    With the new OC kernels hitting the street and the various OC options like OC Widget, SetCPU etc..I thought I'd share one way to read your sleeping cpu freq to ensure your settings are what you think they are: adb shell cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq or just cat...

    Evo blowing past the normal 30 FPS!

    YouTube - Evo Godmode This is a hacked kernel, Fresh 0.3, and SetCPU running @ 1.19ghz. The cameras don't work, but everything else is stupid fast and stable. This is what the EVO WILL BE when XDA Devs are done. It's really too bad HTC released such a gimped device; fortunately, the...

    30fps cap defeated on v002 novas

    Ok folks, HTC is officially full of crap. The XDA devs came up with a hack proving the hardware is absolutely capable of fps>30. There are two test kernels out right now, both exceed the stock limit. These kernels break things the average user will want like movies and the camera, so they...

    Accessories Soundgate M2 Car Mount - Huge Discount!

    I found a thread on this at XDA. Wiredforless.com is selling this car mount for $5 with coupon code WOOT + $5 flat rate shipping. I ordered two of them and with shipping it came out to $14.98. You'll have to apply a disc to the phone (or case). I'll post pics and comments when it arrives, but...

    Accessories Not thrilled with Innocase

    The Innocase flexes and creaks quite a bit on the Evo. It feels sloppy compared to the Hero version. When I pick the phone up, I can hear the case squeak against the phone and I can feel flex all the way around. For the premium they're charging for this case, I expected more. :(

    How big and fast this phone is. I understand the clinical media reviews, but OMFG, this phone is off the charts.

    Before the bad battery advice starts...

    Please read this site: The high-power lithium-ion Do not discharge lithium-ion too deeply. Instead, charge it frequently. Lithium-ion does not have memory problems like nickel-cadmium batteries. No deep discharges are needed for conditioning. I know once the...

    Saw the first campers

    I'm not planning on sleeping much, so I took a ride and checked out 3 Sprint stores, 1 RS, and 1 BB. Found 4 campers at the last Sprint store. I wonder if they know that one isn't a corporate store and doesn't open until 9am? All of the other locations were quiet as graveyards.

    Dust Prevention

    Now on my 4th Hero due to dust, I decided to take a preventative measure. I've taken the phone apart and studied what's going on, unfortunately, I didn't take pictures :( The LCD rests in a form fitted cradle underneath the touchscreen. When you remove the motherboard, you'll see a tin...

    itunes -> phone -> external speakers via a2dp

    Anyone tried this? Here's what I'm thinking: 1) Gmote loaded on Macbook Pro and Hero enables streaming from iTunes to the Hero allowing the phone to play music from the iTunes library. 2) Use phone to send Gmote stream via A2DP to Altec Lansing T515 speakers. The idea is that my Macbook stays...
