    Switching phones and carriers!

    Just felt like I should make a little goodbye thread before I jump ship on to the Nexus 5 and T-Mobile. Already cancelled my service for this month, so I'm going on no phone right now. xD Thank you, to all of the developers here. Taking the bloated piece of crap that Sense 3.6 is and trimming...

    Phone screen looks weird with sunglasses?

    I ordered some sunglasses recently, both polarized, and I noticed that one pair of sunglasses makes the screen look weird (I don't really know how to describe it), and the other one makes the screen look normal, albeit with the tint. What causes the Evo V screen to look odd with certain...

    Root COMPLETELY stock? (S-ON, Locked bootloader, etc)

    How do I unroot and get my phone back to S-ON? I'm getting a replacement from Virgin due to camera issues.

    Help Camera messing up?

    Okay my phone started to act REALLY weird all of a sudden. The FFC doesn't work at all. If I switch cameras, it just goes to an upside down version of the back camera. I'm on stock unrooted. should I just do an RUU? Although what I'm really curious about is what's causing this. Sense for me...

    Apps Development Question- Cannot get Eclipse to actually install apps on this phone! (HTC Evo V 4G)

    I recently got into programming as a result of attending a summer camp where we wrote a rudimentary Android app using AppInventor (fantastic program to start programming by the way). Anyway, I decided to dabble in some real programming for Android, and I hit a (minor) hurdle. As I was going...

    Root Kernels that work with 4.2.2 Jellybean?

    Root App Launcher with Dock Labels?

    Does anyone know of a launcher based off of (or looks like) the regular Jellybean launcher but with dock icon labels? Something like this- ImageBam (found here I've already tried the Motoblur ICS launcher, however, the dock doesn't work on dastins CM10.1. -.-'

    What SMS replacements do you guys use?

    I'm kind of tired of the Sense SMS app, and I was wondering what replacements you guys use. I've already tried Go, it's a no go. Too bloated for me. I'd be using this on Mobster's UP by the way.

    Root MMS sends slow on AOSP based ROMs?

    Does anyone have a problem with MMS sending really slow on AOSP based ROMs? It works, but it can take up to an hour or so to send... also, does it send through WiFi on AOSP based ROMs? (To clarify- AOSP based means Cyanogenmod, AOKP, MIUI JB)

    Does anyone know where the navigation bar (All Apps, recent, etc) background image is located/what it's called? Screenshot is from UP OP thread

    CHROME WORKS PROPERLY! Finally!

    As pretty much everyone who owns this phone (I assume all of the initial launch Sense 3.0 dual core devices too) knows, Chrome for Android acted up like crazy, and had awful artifacts and was in general, impossible to use. Well, as of February 27th, 2013, this no longer seems to be the case...

    Root Where are the anim files located for Sense ROMs?

    Where are the system animations located for Sense ROMs? By system animations, I mean transitions from app to app, menus, popups, etc. Also, does anyone have a completely stock ROM from VM? Another question- how do you get a ROM to boot on any HBOOT? I was thinking about making a stock based ROM.

    Help Two questions...

    1) What's the switch from Virgin to T-Mobile like? I might switch later in the year because I'm fed up with the crappy data speeds/coverage issues. If I switch later in the year, I'd wait for the new Nexus, whatever that may be. 2) Is Chrome stable on any ROM for this phone? Chrome is chock...

    Root Always been curious... how does S-OFF work?

    How does the trick work? I mean how does sticking a paperclip into two holes and then running code manage to unlock a radio? xD

    Root Starting to develop ROMs?

    I've been on Android for about a year or so now, and I really love the amazing work that developers put out (I had an HTC Hero, then an Optimus S, and then now this wonderful phone), and I want to start developing. I've done some small edits to ROMs and flashed them for my own personal use...

    Help How do you properly calibrate a phone battery?

    I ordered a Seido Platinum 2x battery yesterday, and I'm expecting it soon. So how do you properly calibrate one of these things? I'd rather not pay for an app, so any advice on how to do it would be welcome. ^_^

    Root Changing system animations?

    I'm running Unlocked Potential, and I don't really like the Jellybean animations on Sense. How do I change it back to stock Sense animations? To be clear, I mean transition animations, such as app opening/menu transitions. Not boot animations :P

    Sense skins download?

    Does anyone have a link to the default Sense skins straight from HTC (Music Lover specifically)? My phone refuses to link with HTC Hub for some reason... EDIT- Found them! Includes all of the skins from HTC Hub here.

    Help Odd dot on Camera?

    I have an odd dot in all of the pictures taken with my Evo V 4G camera, and this happens across all ROMs, so it's a hardware thing. Anyone know what might be causing it in the hardware though? A couple of pictures to help explain what I mean- one two three

    Commonly known apps that eat battery up?

    I've been trying to isolate the battery problem I've been having recently. My 100% charged battery in the morning was dead in 6 hours thanks to a random rogue app. It was light usage too (1 hour of music and a couple of texts). I looked at the battery graph, and it showed the phone was mostly...

    Root My phone refuses to flash AOSP ROMs properly?!

    I literally flashed one three days ago, worked fine. But now, they seem to only go to the boot logo very briefly, and reboot. Made sure that I was on the ENG 1.04 HBOOT, flashed it again, reflashed 4EXT, and then flashed TWRP recovery. Still does the exact same thing! I've tried combinations of...

    Should I get one of these?

    I was thinking about asking for a Nexus 7 for Christmas. I plan to use it as a multipurpose tablet for trips, just watching Netflix in bed, playing Minecraft PE, and using it to start to dev or even bake a custom ROM for it (also, definitely rooting it). I currently have an HTC Evo V 4G, and...

    Did I get ripped off? >.<

    I bought an extended battery from Amazon a little while ago (this one) and it doesn't seem to work as well as it should. Few issues- 1) If I turn the phone off, charge until the light is green, and power it back on, Android only reports it being 90% full. 2) If I keep the phone on, charge...

    What skin for Sense do you use?

    What Sense skin do you use? I've been trying to find a nice matte style one to no avail... closest one I could find to what I want is Slate from the Virtuous Team, but that's Sense 4.0 only...
