Flash back to stock, take it to tmo and ask for sims 3 say the games were not there. since they don't know how to get the games back at the tmo store, they'll probably give you another new phone. LOL

I'm actually wondering about this, too. I tried restoring the game from Titanium, but it never reappears.
If we could find a ROM that it's included in we could probably yoink it from there. Idk which or where to find that off hand.

But do they change it only in 7/14 days period?

No reason to do that. The data gets wiped when you use odin to repartition. I have a .apk to get it back but you will have to pm me. Not sure if it's against forum rules to post here

I feel your pain with this problem my friend... as I had the exact same problem myself and couldn't find anybody to help me! Luckily I was able to figure it with a little help from one of the forum members. Here are the steps, it's EASY!
If you have a backup of the application from titanium backup, restore it. Yes, I know it doesn't restore the launcher for the program. We'll fix that.
Next shoot the file I've attached to somewhere on your internal SDCARD.
Download App Monster and install the .apk file for the launcher. You can also try running adb install, however depending what ROM your running that might not work. App Monster makes it relatively painless, and it's free from the market.
Viola! The Sims 3 game is reinstalled!
Hopefully you have a backup of the game. I've got the full .apk file for it, however I'm hesitant to upload it on any threads for obvious reasons.
And like previously mentioned, you can also just restore to stock ROM and all will be right as rain.
Hope this helps!

just google "The Sims 3.apk"

Will these methods work for getting sims 3 and the office suite on a custom rom if I backup with titanium first? since they are part of my phone package I would hate to lose them.

Should work, you just need to find the correct .apk packages that launch the apps. I know quite a few people who have restored the think free office stuff that comes stock on the phone with no problems.

[Q] How to disable Hands Free Activation?

Hands free activation is timing out and not working. I programmed my # and msid manually, so there's no need for this **** to keep popping up and running in the background.. is there something specific I need to do to kill this?
Well, ****, it worked when I turned on Wi-Fi!
let the activation go through it should ask you to reboot or just stop
you can always root and remove it...idk what apk it uses
what about flashing your phone with stock?

It would seem that unlike the Hero, it is not omadm.apk (not present).

People on XDA make absolutely no god damn sense. If a user ressurects an old thread you give him **** for it. If he posts a new thread you give him **** for posting a thread that already exists. Aka people on XDA seem to find ways to act like dicks no matter what people do.

Yes, you need to be rooted. Yes you need a root uninstall app to remove it. Yes, you can use a rooted file manager and manually remove it.

[Think-tank] dual boot

i found this thread and thought we have great devs over here in the DINC forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847423
its a way to dual boot two roms on our phones!! right now he's updating to the link is down but it will be up soon
but i look forward to someone implementing this into clockworkmod or amon_ra somehow
mod's feel free too move this if you feel its not development related
I'd like to see if this could be figured out I assume this is kind of development.

Wow that would be pretty cool...interesting.
Wow, very cool idea. Would be nice to have a stock, unmolested ROM on there as a failsafe and then whatever you want on the other.
think about it though, none of the folders are shared, you have to install apps separately, texts need to be backed up/restored.
this is basically like having a nandroid IMO

Your loving moderator
I really love the idea of dual booting a phone. Has anyone heard about the VMWare and LG concept to essentially run VM'd OS's on a phone. Basically the ability to run two phones simultaneously on the same phone. Now that is some pretty awesome stuff!
Dual boot is a good idea.

QFT.
Keep having to jump back and forth between appstore app and amazon in a browser making single changes one at a time, install fails, change this try again install fails, now change this, try again, etc. Took about 6-7 attempts before it was done telling me all the thing it needed re-configured in order to let me install a 99 cent app that will probably be free next week with a tiny M&Ms advert in it.
Whatever, free game!
Just a pain in the ass, no reason why they couldn't have either informed/required all of the changes on the PC page before sending the link to the phone to ask for the changes one at a time, or just sent a friggin APK download link like they did with the appstore apk.
Bloated, over thought.
Finally got it to work, would it be considered wrz if i posted it for the next 12 hours considering its free...
I know it's basically the same game as AB, but it seems so much more polished and AB was already a polished game. Awesome.

Had a mishap Saturday when I partitoned my SD card bout had a heart attack! Got recovered from that now I'm not nervous to try anything on my EVO!
That's normal, to be scared, partition takes some time to do its thing.. The one thing I have learned, is to never look at the clock when flashing.. Here are some tips, use armon-ra, partition, and flash Team Nocturnal shooter E3D port. It's amazing. Go to teamnocturnal.com and follow all the steps. GruesomeWolf has done an amazing job.

How are you saying your not sure about apps, you know all the solutions to back-up apps.
I think you may be lazy.
I usually used Titanium backup, but have started using ROM Toolbox to backup my apps, I ended up purchasing the pro version also, I think its worth it.

You seem like the person to ask with as much knowledge as you know about phones and all the work you've created; good grief. I am stuck with Sprint and cant leave until next year without paying ETF; long story short; get terrible service and have airave (only works half the time and have 3 replacements-sprint does not want to address to issue; and me being on a SERO account probably doesn't help either) but someone in a different thread mentioned about a sprint diagnostic tool that you can use to force your phone to Roam verizon towers and get the boot rather quickly from sprint; unfortunately he said it was only for samsung devices; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774503

I didn't know if there was such a tool that could work for the evo shift that you knew of since you work with other devs and know A LOT about A LOT of stuff. I searched google a bit then headed over here of the forums, but couldnt find much in regards to it for my phone. thanks in advance

No you don't need to change your prl. Also, Several Shift ROMs like newSENSE Supreme Sense and StockMod have roam only as an option built in so you don't have to buy roam control if you don't want too.
