New market version - EVO 4G General

I just felt like complaining a little and wanted to know if anyone else is annoyed with the new version of the market. The ui took a little getting use to, but my biggest complaint is how screwed up the reviews of apps are. The most recent are not at the top like they use to be. Now its a mix of anything from a week to a year old. We can't make a decision about an app based on reviews of versions that are outdated. Sorry, just had to vent.
We're comin from a pure power source.

Nope I love it, it's the bees knees.. :-*

I hate the fact that it will show an update is available for the app however, unless you have multiple and can therefore click "update all", you have to wait at least an hour or two to select update.

Indeed. The reviews are the only thing I'm not liking. It doesn't even make sense. I like checking the mentions when an app gets an update and this totally kills it. There is no structure / reason to it.

I hate the fact text and background color is so similar. Also stars are gray on a light gray background, makes it look like theyre missing. Make em gold like they use to be.
Not impressed too much by it.

They must've fixed the reviews, now I see the most recent ones first and in order

It's fine; I have no issues with the new market and like the look better than the old market. Other than that, it is the venue through which I get apps on my phone so in that respect it has not changed for me.

I thought this was an OTA update, do we need to load the .apk file to get the update, or is pushed OTA

You don't need to be rooted. Just put it on your SD card and use a file manager to install it.

I guess my post should have been clarified, the only way to get the update is to load the .apk file. There is no OTA push for this new market

Did any of you get the 2.2 froyo market all of a sudden?

Just noticed this today...I now have the froyo market on my fascinate (3 different tabs, "update all" button in downloads, etc.). I know this is the 2.2 market because I got this when I got 2.2 on my droid.
I find this weird but exciting. Anyone else get it?
yea mine has 3 tabs aswell.
I've had it for over a week.
That's not the 2.2 market. There's even a newer one coming "in a few weeks"

The market has received a few updates, and even more are on the way.
The version most people have now (the one that added the "Related" tab) is actually not the "Froyo market", though, it's even newer.
We *had* the Froyo market for a few weeks before this one (2 tabs, separated about and comments, update all, and the added auto-update checkbox), but now all Android versions (at least, 1.6+) get the same markets.
Here's the complete overhaul that's coming next: http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/11/android-market-update-streamlines-content-nukes-tabs-dismantle/
we already have that too.
Damn xda is slow on the updates.

I think I got it after flashing blackhole. How do market updates work? Are they completely independent of everything else? Like if I'm on blackhole will I get the new market automatically, or do I have to install it myself?
The new (ripped, leaked one... not the "new" old one mentioned here) runs like ass, and randomly closes. Anyone else have this issue?

I played w/ it for a little bit and felt that it wasn't very customizable and if THATS how WP7 is, boy is microsoft in for some pain.. hell, the iPhone is more customizable than WP7 appears to be (if this launcher closely mimics the customizability of WP7 very well)
just sayin'

Help me keep my Epic!

I've had my Epic for about a few days now and I'm starting to feel like I made the wrong choice. I chose mostly on the hardware, than the software. The battery drains like the phone has a hole in it, the TW UI is just bad and I can't use the regular launcher. I'm sure this phone would be better with pure android. So what should I do? ROMs, Kernals, etc. Thanks in advance!

Seriously though, did you try launcher pro or adw or any other launcher yet? Get a task killer, estrongs is the one I use. Use it. Move all apps that don't have a widget to the sd card.. custom roms IMO are still too buggy..
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
There's definitely a nice selection of Kernels and ROM's available, take a look at the development section, read through some of the features of the different ones available, and see if you find one you'd like to try.
In the end, whether you keep the phone or return it for a Nexus, is all up to you... none of us can really answer this for you, because we all have different wants and needs in our phones.
And fwiw, software side of this phone can be easily modified/customized, so if you're happy with the hardware, then perhaps you should look into the software customization.

Well the kernel has tweaks in it that can save battery... I'd go with syndicate rom frozen with the genocide 1.1 kernel... pretty good combo for me, I can have my screen on for about 4hrs and I'm sure if you use the phone less you can get a few days out of it

Yeah the only buggy rom's are some of the gingerbread roms and there LEAKS... if you want a stable rom syndicate 1.2 is the one to go with.

A good tip to remember...if you do go the custom ROM route, some have no journaling. If you choose one of those, make sure you power down phone completely and don't let battery die or you will get force closes out the arse. If this my be an issue for you, get a ROM with journal on or flash the journal on mod after flashing the ROM.

Go with SyndicateROM Frozen. The 1.1 version needs updating ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091680 ) on the ClockworkMod. The 1.2 version ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131544 ) requires the latest ClockworkMod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115999 ). You need to flash modem to EC05 with Odin.
What I did was flashing modem to EC05, put the first CWM on the phone, then installed SynROM Frozen 1.1. After that, I updated the CWM, then updated to 1.2. I think the 1.2 is not full package (?) and upgrade from the 1.1 (?). Rodderik will update the 1.2 version with latest CWM. You can either wait for that update or continue with the steps that I did toward the 1.2 version.
Edit - SynROM Frozen 1.1 comes with ClockworkMod included. When you get it installed, just update the ClockworkMod (what I did was using the flash method with Odin) then upgrade to 1.2 version.

You had it partially right. Hardware is paramount simply because you can replace the software with better software but you can't replace what drives it. Root your phone with the new purple CWM and then give the Syndicate rom a try. What kernel you choose for it depends on your phone since they each take to certain kernels differently. I am personally using the second to last version of the Genocide kernel and voltage control with great results.
Think of the rom as a car's body that you can choose to option and the kernel as its engine.
I prefer Go Launcher over Launcher Pro and Handcent over all the others available.
If you want incredible battery life download an app called DataSwitch by TomatoX.
Make sure to enable journaling too.

I thought the same thing when I first started using tw... If your taking about the launcher I won't argue. But the rest of tw is pretty good. Built in task manager that clears ram, the dialer is dope. Contacts list is very functional, U can swype right on a name to call our left to txt. Also easy to navigate if u have alot of contacts. Hold your finger on the right in portrait mode to jump through letters, than if, lets say you know alot of T's when u get to T, slide your finger to the left and you can sort by the second letter (feel free to say thanks). If your in to facebook the buddies now and whatever other things are built in to the tw launcher (though if u change launchers you lose those widgets) activities in contacts links your fb friends, the... Does... And u can... With... And so on and so on and so on... theres alot to learn that u wrong in a few days... I've had mine since release day and I just found out... Yesterday... long story short, u only get one chance to trade ur phone in. Use the whole 30 days before u decide
P.s. u can change your screen brightness by long pressing the notification bar and sliding left to right. But u gotta have auto brightness turned off (thanks ↓)

Buggy Cupcake 1.5 ROM

Enyo said:
I finally found a cupcake 1.5 SDK And actually, it boots. I'm shocked.
Its slow as fu**. The launcher is so old (if anyone knew of the gray launcher that you have to slide up (it was ditched in 2.1))
Even though, its old, I'm still going to release it. Its a look in the past and play around. I used jts GPS fix kernel and yea, GPS does not work (well its on 1.5 so nothing works anyway, remember the G1)
Ill release it soon. Its fun, slow, market is so old (black and white old) and won't update to the newest market.
I know its not necessary, but I wanted to port all versions of android to the fascinate. Who needs new? Why not flash back in time 2 years ago, cupcake was the biggest hit and phones like the moment (that had a arm v6 processor) were treated like dual core phones we have today. The G1 Also was high end back then with its
"Fastest processor (456MHz) in a mobile phone"
-Engadget
Or the moment had the
"Fastest phone ever" -Sprints Slogan.

I keep seeing all these teenage girls with Droids now and they're like, "what's the bfd? iphone and android have like, the same apps?" I just wish all these new adopters could see this version of Android and the app selection. They'd really appreciate how far the platform has come. I'm still blown away by gingerbread and i had crazy high expectations for ICS and it still blew me away. I will probably flash this just for nostalgia's sake. Thanks enyo!

Challenge accepted! Lol Cupcake on the Evo. Wonder how that would run being that the Evo specs are well above what's needed. I'm assuming, if someone is actually able to get it to boot cupcake, that it would run about as well as running Windows 95 on one of today's typical PC specs.
In regards to the toolbox and apps. Would the flash 11.x work on GB as well? I thought flash stopped at 10.x for GB and 11.x was for 4.x.x (ICS and up).

I think it does run on GB. When I flash a rom I flash this group of app along with it. It shows up in my apps when I boot up but I am not sure of the last time I used any flash on my phone. I usually use my pc for the Internet.
Op has some more info. I will be working on it more over the next few days. This will have apps, tweaks, and tricks. The apps are one part of the toolbox that will start showing up in our roms. They will also be included in a flashable zip for those who are not using our roms. The second part of the toolbox will be exclusive to our roms. It consists of modifications to the installer script that will put a copy of your recovery log into a folder on your sdcard. It will also do a md5sum of the rom you are installing and put that in the folder also.
Remember this is a work in progress so don't expect it to be finished over night.
Peace,
Love, and
Happiness
