Hello guys,
im quiet new to xda and to rooting as well.
i read, tried to inform myself and then tried rooting and flashing a custom rom becaused i really liked the idea to discover new features, looks and to empower my device.
anywayi rooted my device, backed it up properly and searched for a custom rom where i found xnote Rom and really liked it.
i flashed it with twrp and it works fine i just wonder about a little issue i have now but cant remember if its there from the start (since i flashed it this morning) but i guess it occured after a few and not immediately.
getting finally to the point, on the top left corner of the screen there is a white line just when the display is about to end, i dont know how to explain it better (the old iphone jailbreak (3gs,4) had a similar line in the middle of the screen when booting while the apple logo appeared, if this might help someone to figure out what i actually mean).
i made a screenshot from my homescreen but i doubt its visible from there because of its thinness, i tried to give you and idea of its location with the red arrow though.
i wonder how to fix it ? should i flash again or is it even a well known issue?
help appreciated
thanks for reading

It's a battery bar, some user doesn't like the usual "Battery" icon on the notification and want minimalism instead. So they remove the those icon but need at least an indication to know the battery levels.
Imagine the whole top line that showing up is your battery life.

Im pretty sure we all agree that the EVO has sub-par notifications. It doesn't have alternative colors for the LED and when plugged in you get absolutely no notification, unless you use that app that I forgot the name of...
But anyways I was wondering if it would be possible to use the capacitive buttons as a Notification source.
Maybe we could have the home button blink for sms
the menu for calls, return for emails, etc. I don't know much about software development and all that crud, but I was just reading this idea on another phones forum and I figured it would be something extremely worthwhile for evo users, and in all honesty, its a pretty dam brilliant idea if we could just get it to work.
don't bash me if its not even possible. I was just simply trying to help my fellow EVO users by sharing a creative thought.
in the theme and app section there is apk that does this already well it flashes all of them for notifications

i tried looking for it and i dont see one. there is however a thread requesting a port of the moment for one...maybe im blind??? i could very well be...
i also just went through 6 pages..
anyone got the name/link?
thanks..
i coulda pulled the whole... WFFF deal.. but..
i want this too? hah
Thanks people

jr - awesome thanks. in my defense, i didnt do a search.. i just felt id take a stroll through that section and didnt find it, cheers
found it in 2 seconds
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697430&highlight=notification+light
look at post number 8 for the apk
That app was for the Samsung Moment, it doesnt work on the EVO.....
You know this idea isn't half bad and it may be possible through a combination of the kernel and an application. For reference there is a hack someone made for the G1 that allows you to use the leds under the buttons for notification of the sd card. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685947
That said, maybe we could use this idea to help us with this hack.

How are blinking buttons better than a blinking LED?
I think more convenient than flashing the capacitive buttons (which would probably use more battery too) is just flashing the LED for more than 5 minutes (indefinitely), and also flashing the LED even during charging, as I mentioned in this thread forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712803.

the buttons wouldn't have to flash continuously. It could be just for a few seconds and we can set up reminders like every 5 or 10 mins, that way hardly any battery life is consumed..
i have installed:
mattc froyo with sense 1.3a
miris v17.6 rom
radio 2.12.50.02_2
since i want to keep android for an everyday build, im already starting to personalize it and installing apps and stuff. so my main question is once a new update for my build comes out, how can i update it without loosing all my customizations, contacts and such?
another question is that when in sleep mode, my HD2 seems to have a very very faint dark green tint to the screen which moves up the screen like a loading bar-ish. anyone know whats up with this?
also is there any way to make the ear piece speaker any louder? when in silence i can hear fine but when walking or busy area i can hardly hear anything.
thanks in advance.
these are common problems for everyone. the speaker thing is my biggest problem but im sure theyre working on it.
Just dont forget, this whole thing is only about a week old, updates will come, be patient.
as far as keeping your customization, i know you can keep your apps and contacts, but as far as settings im not so sure.

I just got my Evo on Saturday and have experienced a problem that I cant seem to fix.
Basically what happens is my home button stops functioning. Instead of taking me back to my default screen, the screen will just flash. So I have to use the back arrow now.
I have launcherpro and beautiful widgets installed, but I dont know if either of these would cause the issue.
Ive had to reboot my phone several times before its fixed, then it will randomly happen again.
Has anyone experienced this? Please help. This is so frustrating and annoying.
Thank you,
Whiteice
EDIT So I unstalled launcher pro plus and beautiful widgets and rebooted and its still happening. Im trying to find out if this is an issue others have experienced or if I have a defective unit that I need to return?
try clearing sense default, settings, applications, manage applications, touch ALL at top, scroll down to HTC Sense, touch it then scroll down to clear default

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately the option to clear default is grayed out.
Try getting default home from the market, it lets u clear it
Swyped from my fresh evo
Dude the same thing was happening to me. When u try to press the home button it would jus flicker back and forth between screens or something like that. And the only way I got rid of it buddy was rooting and flashing a new Rom, because the sense Rom has sum sort of bug in it. That's a guaranteed fix.

Are you talking about cleardefaulthome that your talking about?
And as far as rooting, Im a noob at it and not sure how to do it. Is their a one click method by chance?
Thank you,
Whiteice
No, I don't mean clear defaults. I mean flashing to a custom built Rom. That's the only way that problem will stop. I only know this because when I first got my Evo I had the same problem. I thought it was something I was going to have to deal with but I noticed the problem was gone sum time after me rooting my phone. This was not planned, it was just knowledge from experience. Yes there is a one click method for your phone called unrevoked3. You will jus need a few things. To install on ur computer. Check out this link and follow the instructions very carefully. http://www.jonamerica.com/technology/howto-root-the-htc-droid-incredible/ if u seem to get stuck which u probably will, jus let me know and I can TRY to help. It shouldn't be a hard or long process but if u don't have any experience then it might take a little while. And by the way, follow these instructions at ur own will, because I am not responsible for what happens to your phone. If u find something that u don't completely understand, just do what I do, Google It! GOOD LUCK

And by the way, you'll love your phone ten times more once u root. Speed and full customization can't get any better.http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l596/r0ckyda5st4rg3neral/snap20101121_100650.png

Can we install themes on stock-non rooted phones?

Hi mate,
It depends on how intrusive the theme is, in other words, if it is going to change settings and notifications menu, then u need a root+deodexed rom which can accept most of the built themes.
try to install a launcher like Go or ADW launchers, then change their theming options, this will keep u happy
Edit: However, if u decided to jump to the world of custom roms, then the sky is ur limit
for me I rooted my previous gs2 but after replacing it (due to speaker problem) I still dont find a reason to root+custom my phone, its gr8 out of the box.
p.s. dont listen to junky users who r *****ing about the performance of the phone. they r crying about things that they dont mind if the name of the device name is Iphone ,,,,,,, coming from sgs this device is a real replacement for a computer OTG
Hi dr thanks for your reply,
I absolutely love my phone so no complaints about performance at all! I am not into rooting my devise,just wanted to change the notification bar ie battery icon but thats it, I'm very happy with touch wiz etc best phone I've had!
So how easy would it be to just change the battery icon to be like the one on the sgs1?
@drreality +1 man! True story.
To change batteryicon im pretty sure you need to root as the icons are placed in the system folders
Ah ok lets say I pluck up the courage to root easily,how would I go about downloading just a battery icon and install it with stock Rom?

There are lots of apps on the market that can give you another battery icon in the status bar without rooting, although they won't replace your defaultbattery icon, so you will have 2 battery icons, one on the left part of the phone and the default one in the right part of the notification bar.

Hello
I dont remember exactly when, but the scrolling in all browsers (chrome,firefox,opera,dolphin) is very choopy now... It was smoth before...
Maybe recent KitKat ? Anyone have any idea what is that? Hardware problem?
Navigating in forums is a pain, always getting undesirable click/select with choppy scrolling...
Thanks

You wouldn't happen to have a cracked screen would you? There's a chance that there is a problem with your digitizer. The digitizer is what is responsible for registering touch events/input on the screen. One way to check if its the digitizer is to download an app that's similar to Paint on windows. For an old phone of mine I used an App called Sketch Artist..or something of the sort.
While making the drawing drag your finger along the screen in every direction, try to color in the whole screen. If there is anywhere on the screen that isn't responding to touch input then that is the part of the screen that may be perpetually derped.
It should be noted that you don't necessarily have to drop your device in order to have a derped digitizer, sometimes its just something that develops over time.
