Just want some feedback as to what other people were doing with their recently rooted incredible?
I removed cityid and installed wifi tethering which was the main reason I wanted root in the first place. I downloaded htc news widget API but I don't know how to install it.
I'm looking forward to seeing a flashlight app that utilizes the dual LEDs.

Try this one. Still a little buggy, but it works and the dev is still working with it to enhance it.
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/incredible-led-flashlight_hfyo.html
i saw it mentioned in another thread so i checked it out, Lamppu is a free flashlight app and it works great so far.
Only thing wrong with lamppu is that camera/camcorder doesn't work till after a reboot.
both work fine for me after using lamppu, no reboots needed

I apologize if this has come up before, I did search and didn't find anything. I'm looking for a tool that I can remotely control my phone via my windows desktop. I use my phone all day at work listening to music, etc...
I've downloaded the latest release of screencast, and am able to see my phones screen, but no keyboard/mouse input is working so I still have to control the phone from the screen on the phone.
It appears that other people are having the same issue with this app. Anyone got the screencast app working properly on the vibrant or have any other suggestions for different apps?
Thanks,
Jeremiah
What do you mean you downloaded the lastest version of Screencast? I dont see an app called Screencast in the market, only an app that accesses ScreenCast Online videos called ScreenCastsOnline.

Yep, device is rooted, other people are having the same issue. there are some work arounds other's are using, but didn't work for me. I just tried out vnc server for android and that worked ok, but no landscape mode. And I have to wake up my phone from the screen after it went out to be able to do anything with it, which defeats the purpose for me.
I guess I'll keep searching, the vncserver for android is pretty sweet though.
Been trying to get this, and droid explorer to work all day, with very little luck :/

Did they fix the isues with the stock music player? (problems with large music databases, no .m3u support)
I heard that if you are rooted you can still get OTA updates because you don't change the firmware. Is this true? Because I would like an OTA update to fix my GPS. and i'm simply rooted for wifi tethering.
I noticed everything in the first post plus.
1. Photo Viewer/Gallery shows newest photos first. The way it should have been!
GPS does appear to be fixed. Using GPS Test from the Market I was NEVER able to get more than 2 satellites in use (even though it would see 10 to 12). Right after I updated, I went outside and within 10 seconds GPS Test said it was using 9 out of 10!!!!
Used MyTracks to track me and walked around the campus...it wasn't a perfect track but it was WAY better than before. This was just a short test, but based on what GPS Test is telling me I have to think that it is indeed fixed.
That was my experience. I was rooted via the OCLF app without the lag fix installed. The update installed fine and when it was all done I was still root.

I have a Nexus 7. I have root. No custom ROM; the most modding I did was adding a cool font. I have Skype. I have tried both the official version and the lasted SkypeMod. I have downloaded and run CameraLauncher.
Here's the problem: When I am in a video call, I can see the other person just fine AND I can see myself in the little box in the corner. However, the other person cannot see me. They just see a little circle going round and round like it's waiting for me to transmit.
I have verified all settings and that I can soot and record video. This is driving me mental and ANY help or thoughts that could lead me in the right direction are greatly appreciated in advance.
/onlyhalfthetime
have you tried re-installing the app?
try another video chatting application (Google+ Hangouts, GTalk) and see if they give the same issue. then youll know if its the app itself or some hardware issue

This is a good troubleshooting step and I will try it later today, but like I said I can see myself in the little box in the corner while skyping and I can run the camera app.

Rarely use skype but did try it on my rooted/stock nexus 7 and got exactly what you describe, video on nexus 7 but not on recipient's computer (only audio).
Could it be because you are rooted that causes the issue...... Like sky go you can only use if not rooted. Try using voodoo ota to temp hide root and then restart Skype.
Don't use Skype, not sure if affected by root. No harm in trying.

That is the version I am using too.
I realized today that I am a moron. I was only testing the Skype with one recipient. so, what if the problem was on their end?
Turns out, they were using a laptop with a mobile data card. I just used my wife's phone with the Skype app and all went well. video on both sides. :victory:
However!!! I need to continue testing because before I tried that I fund the advanced settings in SkypeMod that forces video calling! I checked Force-enable Video-calling, Force Camera Rotation, and Unlock Orientation.
Since I had to search high and low for someone with the same problem and no resolution, I understand how frustrating that can be. I will continue updating this thread and [SOLVED] it when I am satisfied that I got the answer for the people from the future.
/onlyhalfthetime
New info!
The SkypeMod makes skype work on my rooted EVO 4G! that's a two year old phone. I had long since given up hope of using skype. This is awesome. That is all.
/onlyhalfthetime
P.S. When I'm not poor (I got the nexus 7 for Christmas, haters), I'm gonna throw the dev a few shekels. :good: :angel:
It was indeed the other person's issue. No one else could Skype him either. That was silly on my part. However, I did uninstall SkypeMod and reinstall the regular app and got no video with anyone. Maybe because I'm rooted? Using SkypeMod I was able to skype anyone and they could see my video. Just make sure you go into the advanced settings and force enable video.
What an awesome apk. I am still floored that it works on my EVO 4g!
Marked thread solved. Have a good one, gentlemen and ladies. :highfive:
First, I've only had this phone for about a week and I love it So far everything just works. I'm coming from The Incredible, Rezound, Gs3, GS4. I'm not saying I don't miss root because I do. I miss Tasker, Xsposed, Wifi Hotspot Xposed Module, root explorer and safestrap (for the times I want to play with a rom).
Life without root
Tasker Sub - Smart Connect - I found a sweet little app called "Smart Connect" in the Google Play Store . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware&hl=en - Previously I would use takser to for certain conditions - example I would have tasker launch waze when I'm attached to my car Bluetooth. Smart connect does this along with many more option just like tasker.
Wifi Hotspot - I have unlimited data so the hotspot doesn't work for me - I searched and searched and can't find anything but PDA connect that works with USB tether - This is probably the main reason I miss root, especially on vacation with the family. IF ANYONE FINDS A BETTER WORK AROUND PLEASE POST! THANKS
Root explorer - It still works but without root you can't write to existing files. I always like the cloud storage tabs feature, you can add dropbox and other services as a tab and it all still works. Copy and paste still work. I use this a lot for Moto 360 watch faces. I download them to dropbox and then use Root explorer to move them to a folder that Watchface and Facer can use. Works Great!
Please list other work arounds here, I like to see what everyone else is doing.
Thanks
Hopefully this thread will be temporary!!
Have a great day!

I'd avoid this app. It doesn't consistently work. Most times I was having to FC and restart the app to get any of the settings to actually work. It would work for a day and then I'd have to start the process all over again. Their customer support sucks too since It has been over 2 months since I sent them an email and no response.

I don't have those issues (Moto Maxx on lollipop).
For me, surround and bass options do nothing, but everything else works.
Not the greatest eq, but for people without root that want to use something else than

I'm on the Turbo. I can change to any EQ setting or try my own and nothing changes until I FC and restart the app. Then it will work for a bit until I go to change something again.

It's got sensitivity settings in app that need to be adjusted and has an option to click for extra in pocket turn on protection which I never even needed until I started wearing mid leg pocketed pants but my humble opinion is you weren't setting it up correctly in app because at first I wasn't but I respect the fact you used it and didn't like it. I just don't have those issues you mentioned. Oh well just a thought. Good luck.
