Cyanogenmod released a statement about the State of Cyanogen mod. Short version: they've all got other responsibilities that may slow things some, but it's not going anywhere.quote:]I’ve been reading rumors that CyanogenMod’s core philosophy is changing, that we’ve been sold, or that we’ve given up and I want to go on record saying none of this is true at all. As you may know, there are only a handful of people that can approve changes for CM but a lot of developers for it. You may have noticed that we are operating at a slightly slower pace than normal, but that’s simply because we’ve been busy and real life responsibilities come before this project. No one is getting paid to work on the product.

LastInLine posted:One, they don't make a T-Mobile version of the Xperia Play, it's Verizon only in the US and AT&T if you want to import an unlocked international one. There's also the fact that the Xperia Play is old hardware and already far surpassed by the current latest and greatest, which looks to be outdated by the time the Nexus Prime comes out.

Any progress on a the 2.16 HBOOT unlock for Unrevoked? I just realized after being unrooted for 4ish months that you can't root Gingerbread except with that revolution stuff... But you can't unroot with that yet.

Isaac Asimov posted:Can you clarify what you're trying to do? Are you trying to unroot and you have the 2.16 HBOOT? If that's the case you need to search for the PC36IMG that corresponds to that version of HBOOT. Nah I'm just trying to root my Evo. I think I'm too lazy to go back to 2.2 and flash it then upgrade to a 2.3 rooted gingerbread build.

Trying to get S-OFF on my Evo 3d and having some trouble. Anyone know how to fix the problem of the latest version of revolutionary.io tool hanging at the "zerging root..." stage? I have firewall/av off, have the Android SDK installed, debug mode, fastboot off. No HTC sync installed or running. Thoughts?

Also a different USB port might help. Compatibility mode for administrative access and Windows XP SP3 couldn't hurt either. I had to use HTC Sync mode with debug on and only one of my four USB ports made it work. Bizarre, but it did eventually work.

What little I've been able to find suggests that sometimes a wipe is necessary. Of course, they all say not to use/install HTC sync at all so who loving knows. Edit: Also, none of that worked.

Replacing the app drawer (to get one that smooth scrolls instead of scrolling by page). Easy? Hard? For a custom ROM on an EVO4G.

I think most of the big launchers have that option to change in them, and if not you'll just want to install a launcher that does smooth scrolling (so it's probably really easy). e. For ADW, as an example, you go into the adw settings, then drawer settings, then click app drawer style and pick Verticle Plain. Should be something similar for whatever launcher you have.

GoLauncher EX also has that in its Preferences menu. I used to use LauncherPro but now I prefer GoLauncher, seems a little bit prettier with more options. Hey what is everyone's favorite way to root a Galaxy S II 9100? My sister lives in Europe and when she visits the states she'd like to at least have it carrier unlocked so we can just put a USA sim card in it and she'll have service. The phone is so new that its XDA forums page is kind of a mess, I can't tell what the 'best practices' are yet.

Rooting is not carrier unlocking, and it's incredibly rare to be able to unlock it yourself from home. Expect to have to take it to a skeezy store and pay $20 to do so. Or, you know, take advantage of the EU laws that require carriers to unlock GSM phones upon request. Your choice.

Regarding the XPERIA PLAY, I have no idea why they went with old poo poo hardware for a gaming phone  I really just want a loving hard controller on my phone, but I guess Sony is too far up its own rear end to consider that maybe an enthusiast device should come with enthusiast hardware  Nexus Prime looks cool but I don't trust Samsung much, as rooting their phones tends to be a nightmare of incompatible hardware. Should I worry about one in the "Nexus" line though?

I didn't pay attention much to the Nexus S but it was Samsung also. Are most people happy with it? The Prime sounds awesome (I am saving my upgrade for it), but I hope the rumor about it being 4.5 is untrue. You should know if Samsung is any better with CDMA with the SGS2 being released next month. Also didn't the main guy from CM7 take a job with Samsung?

Actually, the rooting was never the hard part...in fact, Samsung phones are probably the easiest to root...but custom ROMs are where the hardware and driver issues rear their ugly heads. But the Nexus S was fairly free from that, not having nearly as much Samsung POS software/driver poo poo piled on it, since it was vanilla Android.

Yeah I was more concerned with the hardware drivers after rooting with custom ROMs. Rooting vanilla is kind of boring to me  I don't know if Samsung hiring Cyanogen is a good thing or not yet but hopefully it means they are acknowledging and enabling custom ROMs more. I think.

Actually with the SGS2 thats avoidable. I can't remember if you need to be rooted first but Chainfire released an app based on Odias work that has a pretty good chance of unlocking the sim if the phone is actually locked. I would have posted this earlier but it took me some time to remember about this. Thread on Chainfires app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092451 Market link: market://details?id=eu.chainfire.sgs2simunlockcode Odias thread just for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064978 Reading Odias/Chainfires thread is something ya need to do though, because about a month back samsung updated their simlock protection for at least some of their phones.

You need to grab a recovery PG86IMG.zip file and flash it from the bootloader. Just put it on the sdcard, pull battery, power on while holding vol down. It will find the file and ask if you want to flash a recovery, press vol up or whatever to flash it. Once that's done, you can flash a superuser.zip or a rooted ROM from recovery. You can follow this starting after the S-off part: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192525 I'm using TWRP instead of Clockwork. No particular reason, just not a fan of Clockwork.

This worked great, I didn't realize it didn't install Superuser and such. Thanks so much! Now that I have a very nicely running Evo 3D rooted, any ROMS that are recommended? My Evo I approached where I basically just used Cyanogen, then Savage Zen and stuck with Stock Android ROMs. This time around I'm going to give Sense 3.0 a swing, so I am quite ok with it being very close to standard Sense.

(edit: You can go back to version 318 or something around there if you want to overclock, but you'll be back on 2.3.3 as well) I just pull down the differences using SVN and zip it up myself, which gives you immediate access to the newest stuff. The notification pulldown has some nice updates: - Tap and hold the banner to hide/show the recent apps list - Tap the banner to get to a shitload of toggles and sliders. Basically everything, including a volume slider that can be tapped to change between Media/Ringer/etc SLOSifl fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Aug 24, 2011 |

EVO 3D running the latest rooted stock 2.xx whatever ROM. I added GPU acceleration and removed the debug icon in my build.prop and flashed the stock kernel that has CIQ removed. Anyone know how to remove the GPS crosshairs and add the extra Quick Settings stuff? This is all I really want in a ROM and not all the other extras, icons, and theme stuff people add.
