Yes, YAKST(Yet another kickstand thread), but I have searched the forums and nobosy has done this.
I recently purchased a dummy HTC Evo from ebay for 20 bucks(a), now the idea here is to take this thing apart and extract the kickstand assembly(b) from it and pry it on an HD2 rubberized case(c), and hopefully it'll look something like(HTCEVOHD2.jpg).
I'm going to buy some tools to get this done, I'm thinking a dremel type tool and a glue gun... any ideas are welcomed!
I will be using the instructions found here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-HTC-Evo-4G-Kickstand/3064/4
Will post actual pictures of the mod, maybe a youtube video... Check back soon, as I am impatient and will try to get this done in the next few days...

I'm only using the kickstand assembly which can be detached, nothing else.
Well... Maybe the logo, if I can get it off...
cant wait to see how this comes out! good luck dude

Hey thanks... I did not anticipate how thick the kickstand assembly is, now I know why the Evo is a mini fridge... I need to get a tool to cut the rubberize case with precision, does anybody have any ideas what i should get?

yes, if you like to modify, hack, and customize stuff to your liking, then a dremel is definitely a tool you would like to have
Hey any luck with this? i'd like to see what the results were. thinking about doing the same thing to my incredible that already has extended battery with tpu case as back cover
This is very interesting. If you guys are looking for a stand take a look at my signature.
clever, nice idea - I'm gonna give that one a go!

Hi everyone, I've been looking for a good sock to slip on my phone but have had no luck so far. What I'm interested in is one that's made from a cotton lycra type blend.
Here are some pics of the type of fabric I'm looking for.. if someone can help me find one that fits over the kaiser, I'd really appreciate it.
no one has any links or ideas for me?
@ericc191
Check out this thread...in particular post #2 by pof. The tilt is just a bit smaller than the 8525, but it should work.

I have had great luck using Ipod socks, which you can pick up at walmart, or the apple store....

Why? Am I missing something here? Why would you want a fabric bag for yer spendy phone? No protection really.... Dunno why you would ponder such a thing.

Has anyone ran into anyplace where you can purchase the HTC Raph back shell cover?
I heard it isn't as glossy/fingerprint magnet as the Euro version.. more rubberized.
www.cnn.cn doesn't have anything listed, not even a TP.
take a piece of sandpaper and remove that shine.

LOL....funny i'm thinking of that too...but lucky my HTC back cover is rubberized..........
Sorry forgot to mentioned mine HTC is asian model...
What?! I want a rubberized back...
Will be nice to have. I am sure they will come out with replacements soon.
http://www.expansys-usa.com has a few with batteries.

It's exactly what it says it is. A battery cover. A pouch for an extra battery.

Oops... Seems they reused the same stock image for the P3300's battery cover.
http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=143016
Still, $33 is a lot of money for rubberized plastic, especially if I'm not even 100% certain it'll fit. And I want to see an accurate picture before I plunk money down.
My TP has rubberized back. Bought in Norway.

haha!
I forgot to mention that I have the Fuze
All that someone needs to do is see if the European Touch Pro cover fits the US AT&T Fuze.
Doesn't anyone have access to both phones to test this???
(Interesting...This is my first post and I've been a member since April 2006....I'm always in here reading and I just never thought to ask anything before...weird because I post all the time over at HoFo).
if someone has a dremel tool, maybe u can fine sand it, and leave the triangle that says HTC and around the camera/flash untouched, make a rectangle shape around the autofocus text, then take it to the mall to one of those dog tag kiosk that can itch your name or logo on the back like laser itch, i think that will look cool...
while ur at it itch ur e-mail/contact info on the inside of the cover in case it gets lost!!

can you post a pic of that?
has anyone ran into anything yet?
Found This case on ebay, think i can just use the back part on my fuse?
I saw the one on ebay too, but how come there is a big triangular hole where the camera is? How are you supposed to cover that or is it just left open?
I believe they want you to transfer it from your existing hardware... But, with my luck I would screw it up and not have a battery cover at all.
Does anyone know of any physical mods to the hero?
Dying the case black is the only one I've heard of.
I've also read up on that one. Guess that's the only one for the CDMA hero. Shame.
the RGB led mod has been discussed. so you could have more than orange green and red. lol. but I don't think anyone ever did it
I was going to say check out www.colorwarepc.com, but then I realized they don't do the Hero (although I believe they are planning to do the Evo, for those that are interested)

There is www.skinit.com and it does what the link you posted does and they support the cdma hero.
I dyed my phone black (or the cover, iv yet to have time for the front side), its actually easy and pretty cool.

actually, colorware doesn't make skins, they physically disassemble the device, paint it, and clear coat with their UV protection, then reassemble and make it look like it came that way from the factory.
Just realized today that there is some dirt under the glass screen on the top left corner. When the screen is on, it is hard to notice. But since I plan on selling this phone to get my next one during the summer, I want this thing to be mint.
Do you know if Sprint will replace my entire phone or will they just replace the display in-store? I hope it's the latter...
BTW, any chance of getting a White EVO replacement?
Oh boy.... /me gets into his flame retardant suit.

Kind of figured it was an honest mistake.... but I still was prepared for the worst
Also suprised no 'white knights' have shown up yet.
He just wants us to develop a solution for him. Hence the development part of the forum.

I only play white night when I can tell people did it on purpose.
It's pretty clear no bad intentions here.
But as a side note I've got the same problem and right now having a battle with sprint trying to get them to fix it. They are seriously being pricks.
I think I'll threaten to move to verizon.
That'll get them going.

Yes and no; NEXT!

I would say that sprint will switch it for you if you complain enough, and to the correct person; however there is zero chance of a white evo unless because of the variance in SKUs.
I have had the screen replaced twice on my Evo for dust in the upper left corner. This defect was corrected but the scecond screen I got was also one of the originals. The third I have now appears to be the one with the revised gasket.
Youre going to get hella flamed, but meh, its the internet.
Anyways, YES sprint will replace it. They replaced a friends evo for dust, and my sisters hero that had dust. I plan on selling mine to get my next phone too
any longer.... i have no more money to buy another hd2 ... i will miss it greatly they were both great phones. this will sadly be my last post on hd2 forum
I get your pain, but this is not the rigth place to post..
RIP

Smashed? Like broken screen or completely broken device? If it's just the screen, break them both up and swap the screen out with the back up one.
Bye Bye!!! I think this is about the 6th thread you've started in the dev forum that has absolutely nothing to do with developement.
If you dont know how to care for smart phones, I strongly suggest you stick to other genres of phones.
I dont mean this with any condescension. If you are typically a clumsy person, it doesn't make logical sense to keep buying expensive devices.
kinda stupid to bring it to a concert anyway
uhmm
