Newley rooted phone user - EVO 4G General

Just want to say thanks to all the support here I rooted my evo it wasnt as hard as I thought it was going to be but it did take a lot of reading and a friend of mine at work telling me how easy it was. I was nervous but now I wish I would of done it sooner.!!!

Glad everything went successful. Welcome to the rooted world!

Cool, now click the link to my guide and read up on what to do next

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.

For contacts you can sync them to your gmail so when you sign in you get your contacts not sure about apps tho

I do sync to gmail but somehow I always end up with multiple on some contacts. I use my backup pro also but don't restore my contacts from it just data call logs etc.

Use titanium backup to backup all your apps. It also keeps the app data so you don't loose progress in games.

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.
EDIT:
POST 420!! I need to spark this now that I noticed.

Ah okay, sorry I was just being a ****, can't help comments. But I just read it wrong. Figured you wouldn't be one to start up some crazy drama in reply to my comment. lol
I like ROM Toolbox Pro for back-ups, pretty smooth and fast, worth it just for that but there is so many other things you can use it for with all the extra tweaks.

Tibu's pro with batch mode for restoring apps into new rom from previous nandroid backups.

[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

I agree I can't find the need to ever want to do this/..
Ok here's my thought say I wanna play some games on my phone. I put it on airplane mode so I'm not bothered then you can boot up the aosp rom from the SD and okay games with a wiimote. That's why I want it

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.

World of Warcraft Android Authenticator

World of Warcraft Android Authenticator problem
Yes, I made the mistake I never thought I would. I installed the Authenticator on my old Eclair ROM and attached it to my account. I flashed and brought my phone up to speed with DK28 and the Froyoness must have gone to my head because I forgot that I should've disattached the Authenticator first. I am now unable to log in to my Battle.net or WoW account. I am also waiting till Mammon pushes out the latest version of his ROM before I redownload the authenticator. Can I just redownload it to my phone again ? Or will I have to contact Blizzard about this ? Any help is appreciated thanx !
Contact blizz. Its not hard. I wiped my phone once without thinking about my authenticator and almost missed a lk raid rofl

Definitely call them, it will get fixed in 15 minutes vs weeks via email. Just tell them you had to do a hard reset on your phone and forgot to disable the authenticator first. Make sure you have one of your cd keys so they can make sure its realy your account. I didn't and they were still able to authenticate that I owned the account through my payment info and a discription of some of my main characters so it definitely best to call them

Will call in the morning

Did that once, faster if you call them and take it off, all they need is your original can key when you started WoW

Was this after a full data wipe? Because it has been confirmed that titanium doesn't store the esn for the authenticator. It is stored elsewhere in the system data.

Yeah, I just did it yesterday updating to the latest Nebula ROM. 3x wipe of data/cache/dalvik. I even did it a few weeks back on a freshly rooted new phone when my original was replaced for bad battery contacts.
I just download the app again from the market then restore data only from Titanium.
I would recommend keeping the serial number somewhere else safe though. From experience when I had the key fob authenticator, Blizzard is easier to deal with when you can give them the number.

Calling is definitely faster. I've managed to recover my account twice when flashing a ROM and forgetting that it would wipe out the authenticator. Just try and remember to remove it manually next time, saves so much hassle.
Call them though, email is not effective

Android Anonymous XDA Discussion Thread

This thread is for discussing all themes, mods and rom's made by Android Anonymous.
Our rom was not locked due to safety issues. It is perfectly fine to.flash.
I never accepted donations... I don't do it for money... and it is a pain to find and put all of that together with no issues manually if someone didn't put it in a 'rom'. There are alot if other rom development that do the same thing. I didn't bring any 'wonders' to the epic. People like the people you listed. I didn't know the kernel was part of a payed rom and neither did b-reezy. Someone else (unnamed) sent us a link to the rom without informing us it was donate ware. On a side fact, requiring money of a firmware based on a free os by Samsung and Google without proper permission would be illigal and since it is just a modified Samsung kernel without permissions to require money for the rom that contains it, it is technically free. But it wasnt do to anything about being donate-ware, it was due to with it cantaining a part of bonsai. Stop spamming the thread with this crap. I won't switch to a different kernel until ext4 is made by someone other than bonsai... Hopefully that clarifies it all.
