I think I saw some discussion on this but I can't find it. Looking for a rom which has no phone features, so the Evo can be used purely on wifi for media playback, browsing etc. I am planning to use it to make calls via SIP/Google Voice on wifi only, and the primary use will be for media.
If the cell radios are disabled, battery life should go up.

Thanks, that looks great.
I was excited for ubersonic and my decommissioned Evo. I flashed it and was disappointed, so then I removed it. The concept is good, the rom I didn't think much of.
One thing to remember is that Netflix doesn't work on ICS and that's something I'm using the device for still, lol.

That's what I'm doing now
I ordered myself a long HDMI cable for it too. The phone is actually going to be a dedicated Netflix and gaming device for my bedroom TV. Now with an AOSP rom on there I can finally use my bluetooth gamepad.
Any stable GB rom is good for using it for primarily media device with HDMI use. I carry a wifi hotspot device with me so I just run my devices off of that and keep them in airplane mode. I combo Google voice and talkatone for free calls and texting. I've also synced my wiimote to the EVO via Bluetooth so that I can just control it from my couch to play videos and games on my big screen.

No bluetooth when in airplane mode or has that issue been sorted out? Great idea gutting all the phone software and turning this into a HDMI netflix streaming tool.

Was that an issue? I don't think I've ever had trouble turning individual radios like wifi and bluetooth back on when airplane mode is enabled.
I logged some serious time last night with the OG in airplane mode playing SNES with a bluetooth controller.

Nevermind, just tried it on my current rom and it works fine. I distinctly remember bluetooth being disabled when airplane mode was turned on but that might have been on a stock rom or something.

Well when you turn on Airplane mode it shuts down all radios (mobile network, wifi, and bluetooth) but then you can turn back on the ones you want (maybe not mobile network since that would totally defeat the purpose of Airplane mode)
I'm looking to use my Evo as a music player (through bluetooth) and offline GPS in my car when I get an Evo LTE in a couple of weeks. What version of Android would be the most efficeint for this? I'm still using 2.3.5 now. Would there be a benefit to going to ICS?
I will try out Ubersonic first and see how that works for me.

I ended up taking the plunge with Ubersonic too. I tried Thundershock but found that Ubersonic was smoother and more responsive. Only downside is that I don't have that ability to make emergency calls (I want to keep the phone in my car).
However, other than that, Ubersonic is pretty trim and fast.

What bluetooth crap? I've been running 2.1 since I got my hero (only ran 1.5 long enough to drive home from Best Buy. Already had the rom downloaded and my pc set up for rooting before I even went to buy the phone).
I've never experienced one single problem with bluetooth, across at least 10 different 2.1 roms I've tried.
You'll be giving up a lot of standard features... like pinch to zoom (although I hear they finally got touble tap to zoom). Just FYI

Bluetooth problems seem to be about 50/50 with hero owners!
I seem to be in the 50% that bluetooth sucks ass on any 2.xx rom, and works flawless on 1.5.

no i think that everyone uses the BT diffrently ... my BT on the hero suckss ass on 2.1 and works great on 1.5 .. i have a car radio that i can play music form my phone and at the same time do navigation voice ( from the phone also ) ..on 1.5 it works great ..on 2.1 it works for 5min and then both sounds are gone and i get a FC on BT driver , my audio BT headsets on 1.5 works great on 2.1 it just craps out every couple mins ... cant even use it at all...
I guess that explains it. I only use bluetooth for a small headset and file transfers. Both work flawlessly.
I don't use a2dp at all, which now that I think about it, is what I've heard most people say they've had trouble with....
I can do this. Expect a port in 10 minutes, or whenever it's done downloading.

By small headset I assume you mean just a single ear piece?
If thats the case it works great on any Rom I have tried, it just streaming music where it cuts out and skips a minimum of 5 times per minute of song, and forget doing anything else on your phone!

Yep, the single earpiece with a mic used for phone calls, not headphones for listening to music.
Even though both uses are transferring audio, they actually use completely different bluetooth profiles, which I suppose explains why one works well and the other doesn't.

- LED notification light is working now.
- Removal of Clear level 2 RAM so newbies don't break anything.

Might the bluetooth routing bugs (where all audio comes out of the ear speaker after disconnecting) be fixed too?
But THAT is wonderful news and what I was hoping for. I have had way too much trouble making my Epic a reliable media player which can multitask, and it's Touchwiz bugs taking most of the blame for the stuttering, in my experience. Has the stock music player changed at all? They did away with some features from the Eclair one which were actually better, which I didn't appreciate...

Thanks. Now can you or someone else test the bluetooth routing? (To test, play something through stereo BT, then switch to voice headset mode on another device by placing or taking a call, then see after you disconnect both devices if media audio is routed incorrectly through the phone ear speaker like it is in Froyo.)

By now, some of us probably have an extra EVO sitting unused on a shelf somewhere in our homes, and that is such a waste for a great little device it was (and still is). I have one that I left untouched for months. After being pestered daily by my kids to let them play games and listen to music on my phone, I thought why don’t I turn the inactive EVO into a mini tablet and let them play with instead.
Aimed with that thought and a search engine, here are what I did.
1. Downloaded a latest Sense ROM (I used MikG 2.60). I tried CM7 but couldn’t get anywhere after removing Phone.apk and Telephony.apk
2. Opened the ROM in WinRAR (you could use your favorite zip archive software)
3. Removed the following APKs from \system\app folder
a. HtcDialer.apk, HtcDialer.odex
b. HtcSprintService.apk, HtcSprintService.odex
c. Phone.apk, Phone.odex
d. TelephonyProvider.apk, TelephonyProvider.odex
e. VoiceDialer.apk, VoiceDialer.odex
4. Copied the modified ROM to sdcard, wiped phone then flashed as usual
That’s it! Wifi worked… Market worked… everything else except the phone functionality worked. My kids are thrilled to have their own device to play games, listen to music, take pictures, etc…
Good stuffs! I'll do same for my little one if I ever let go of mine.

I just re-purposed my old Evo into cash. Glad someone else was excited to purchase the old guy and will put him to good use.
This is essentially what we have done with the old Hero. I did not remove the dialer or anything. Just installed CM7 and we keep it in Airplane mode but with Wifi turned on. The kid loves it for playing games.
Lol I repurposed my evo to my original phone, giving my brother my 3d. Something about to 4g keeps calling me back. I think it's the endless tinkering with it fuels my curiosity on how much I can push that phone

True. I thought about that but then I'm sure my kids could turn it back on without knowing it. Didn't want to take any chances of them dialing 911 so I that why I choose to disable the phone functionality completely.
Also, Airplane Mode turned off Wifi as well. They need Wifi to use Pandora and Google Music. Disney-type of songs of course.
You know you just turned your extra Evo into a ipod touch, right? Ha Ha!
I laugh because I did the same thing.
It's actually a hell of a lot nicer than the ipod.

Absolutely no offense here, but if you teach your kids the right way to use 911, it could save yours or their lives someday. Even a de-activated phone can be used to call 911 in case of emergency, however you obviously would have to turn airplane mode back off to use it. It's something to think about, if your kids will always have this evo to use as a "toy", maybe they should know how to use it to call 911 in case something happens. By removing the dialer and other things that you did, they now might be confused if they try to use it in an emergency and cant dial out with it.
Also, Airplane Mode turned off Wifi as well. They need Wifi to use Pandora and Google Music.
Click to expand...

Yes, airplane mode will turn wifi off when you activate it. However, once you are in airplane mode, you can toggle wifi back on, and it should stay on until you turn it off.
Great inputs, sitlet! I'm going to re-flash the full, unmodified ROM and try the Airplane Mode ON, Wifi ON to see how it goes. Probably will use CM7 to keep everything a bit cleaner.
Thanks!

Can you tether it to a phone so you can use the phone's internet connection? This is something most smartwatches seem to be lacking, even though it should be included if the manufacturer doesn't mess with the software (i.e. removing that option intentionally)

I meant that it is lacking phone pair connectivity. Such as ; if you get a text the phone cannot notify you, or if you have a call coming in the watch will not notify you... this software doesn't exist yet. I have tried numerous apps on play store but no luck as of yet.

I really appreciate the effort of this watch's Chinese manufacturer. IMO, this watch is even better than all of the so-called "smart watch" on the market at the moment :good: (edit: especially the Galaxy Gear)

Hey ,
Can you tell us if the watch has vibration?
Does it vibrate when you get a call or a sms/email?

I can't tell you about the call as I have not put a sim card in it yet, but It does have vibration capabilities as it vibrates when you turn off the watch. The vibration is nice and strong.
thank you very much , you just made my day
I have just ordered it from chinavasion and got me to 179 including dhl shipping
My next question is about the battery , how much would it last for a wifi video call for example?

On my watch, The battery does drain pretty fast and it runs very hot. I am not sure if others here have the same problem, but I am about to play around with a Governor app too see if I can improve battery life/cool it down.

I thing i haven't tried is changing the governor to POWERSAVE while running the STOCK LAUNCHER.
Of course i'm on ADW EX launcher so it would be stupid to run powersave...

Good question. If it does have 3G, anyone tried hotspoting it yet? Would be great to be able to have a wrist hotspot.
Be nice to know if this chip set has a GPS bc navigation would be great if it is supported too.
