Some questions before buying - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Hi, I'm considering buying this interesting tablet but before i do there are some things i need to be sure about:
1. How is the RTL support in the Flyer? I know it is not supported officialy in GB but is there a rom or a fix that can be applied to it?
2. How is the pen support? Is it fluid and intuitive as writing on a notebook? Can I use it for taking notes in class instead of my notebook?
3. Battery life. How good is it?
Thanks in advance,
Benny.

+ infinity, SolsticeZero, I couldn't care less which phone someone else gets, but this post is effing epic. Pay attention, firsttimer44: (and yeah, I see you right there, you little troll):
THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE!
Just took my Evo3D back to the Sprint store and got me a PHOTON! Holy christ this thing is sooooooo nice. Man we gotz r00t too! I'm like about to flash the Rom that just got released! Tegra is tiiiiight!
HTC is just not like the best no more, Motorola makes the sickest cell phonez and walkie-talkies!
Funny people come say thanks for posting this. I honestly can't say anything about how bad or good the photon is, but I can say that someone shouldn't come into our 3D Evo forums and talk about how cool a phone is without actually explaining why and then have the nerve to say that it is rooted, when in fact I can't find the actual method for it. Where's the links for recovery? su? And how many roms do you have? 1?
I dare you just to come see how many PAGES of posts 3D Evo has in the developer section. Further proof that the developer love is way favoring the 3D Evo.

Who gives a flying **** how many pages the evo 3d dev section has. The phone alone had millions of dollars in pr thrown at it. Have u you even seen an ad on tv for the photon? I am guessing not. The fact is the evo 3d was very disappointing and did not live up to the hype that was created for it.

Oh, and a huge amount of people care about how many pages the Evo 3D has. These forums are pretty widely known for people who like to root and play with their phones. If you can't do that with the Photon, the Photon forums here will be a ghost town.

that and they have a much bigger dev coummunity!! SGSII on t-mobile basically swayed many many more people towards it than the amaze, they both came out at the same time...if the amaze would have been released on a different date we would see a different dev community. rezound also has more bling with the beats audio, so more people buy it and it has a 720p screen, same camera as the htc amaze...its a better version of our phone...If I had the money to pay monthly for the verizon plans I would have def gone with the rezound over any phone. I think it's the best phone on the market right now. IMO amaze is the best phone on t-mobile right now.
I think the amaze is sexier though. Lol, freakin rezound man =[

I know this question wasn't directed toward me but I'll answer...
I came from a Blackberry and the Amaze is my first android phone. First day I got it I was hooked and did tons of research on Rooting it (didn't even know what rooting was/is)
Totally hooked now, if I knew about the whole ROM/rooting thing before the amaze, I probably would have went a different route, with a different phone that had more devs.
Ah well, patience is a virtue. Whatever that means!

I understand. The ''hold up'' that HTC has caused with the not releasing source, S-on, etc will pass. When? If HTC keeps it's word and update the Amaze this quarter with ICS, that will definitely breath new life into development.

I had I a mytouch slide, but I began hacking and stuff when my mom wanted froyo on her g1. I liked android soooo I got the slide. After like 9 months the slide began to give me problems, like whenever I slide out the keyboard the screen would get screwed, the volume keys were broken don't ask me why, oh, and I was in my car and it fell on a plastic cup with water. I got the amaze after like 2 weeks after its release, I've watched its development grow

I don't know about that man... Were you impressed with HTC's 2.3.4 with Sense 3.0 for our Amaze right out of the box? 'Cause I wasn't
The only good thing I can see about HTC releasing ICS is so our devs here can use that code to make better custom ROMs since we have no support from CyanogenMod

Coming from the sensation, let's just say my expectations was not met in regards to Sense, but I knew this before I bought the device. That being said, this device is what the sensation was suppose to be in terms of sheer power (1gb RAM, S3 1.5 snapdragon, 2.2 camera sensor, etc.) I'm convinced I made the right decision, HTC just dragging thier a**!

I came from the Hero which had lots of devs, cm support and a great and supportive community. I have to say that I haven't found the Amaze community to be as welcoming and helpful. Half the responses to questions are "do a search." I know I'll get flamed for saying this but I suspect that I'm not alone. I love the Amaze, but I'm beginning to feel like I've chosen the wrong phone.
I really hope that when ICS source is released dev takes off and I'm proven wrong.
Maybe I'm just in a bad mood right now.
I feel the same way. Sometimes I feel like I should have just went with the unlocked version if the galaxy nexus. I hate touchwiz, so it was either amaze or galaxy nexus

I hate TouchWiz too, but even back then when I ran stock on my SGS I just used a third party launcher over it and it worked well... You shouldn't let TouchWiz be a deal breaker for you, especially since you could replace the whole Samsung framework with CyanogenMod

I agree. The Amaze community is somewhat hostile and counter-productive. I know a few devs that I talk to often that feel this way as well. While the redundancy of certain questions can be answered but simply searching, 5 individuals saying search could be avoided if only one of them actually answered the question IMO.
Realistically, I see "do a search" more than I see the actual question being asked or answered.

The reason why we say do a search is because we have 3 threads that are stickied. We have been received the same questions over and over and if you look at these 3 threads, it should answer your question. If it doesn't, then make a thread about it.
[HOW TO] ROOT HTC RUBY / AMAZE 4G
FAQ for the HTC Amaze 4G. Read Frequently Asked Questions before you post a question!
[READ THIS FIRST]MAC, PC, LINUX Unlock, recovery, root, troubleshoot, camera quality
There should be no reason why you should ignore it. I spent time and effort searching through the whole forum of questions so I can make my FAQ thread. If I did that to make life simple for people, they should atleast take the time to look through it. We put our time and effort to make life simple but people do not choose to read, which aggravates us.
Sorry for sounding like a jacka$$, but I am simply trying to show you why we tell people to search. If they just look at the stickied threads, they will save themselves time as well as ours.

I wonder if the root process will be as simple as the HTC One and One X?
I would think it would be similar, since the phones are so similar.
But what do I know. I'm not even close to being a dev.

When did you get your evo. it had root before day 1. A couple of times it got lost, but only to people on new devices and people who couldn't wait for the devs to get a hold of the new Stock ROMs.

Is there any doubt this is the next benchmark phone. The OGEvo is still in my opinion the only SuperPhone. A first of many standards, and the only phone i know you can plug directly into the TV for watching Vids.
I have lived off contract for the last 4 years. Yes i finally used my Upgrade for this phone.
Who is the forum mod anyways?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
I would imagine root would be very similar to one x international. Use HTC unlock, fastboot recovery, flash superuser.
I am sure other ways will come as well, but I suspect that will be the first

Can't install official ICS

Hi,
i have Htc Evo 3d gsm with stock rooted rom "EU_Shooter_U-1.20.401.8_ROOTED.zip", s-off via htcdev and cm v 5.0.2.0 revolutionary. today i received ics via ota, but when i try to install zip manual from recovery i received this error:
assert failed: check_cid(getprop( "ro.cid" ),"00000000"..... (Status 7).
How can i install now official ics?
Thank you very much
You need to turn back to original state. So original firmware, kernel and recovery.
So flash ruu.exe of gingerbread and then update to ics.

The correct way to handle this is just to simply click the little triangle in the top right hand corner of the post.
This brings you to a little form you fill out to move the post to Q & A and goes straight to a forum moderator.
The moderator will move the post to the right section. Let the moderator do the flaming because they have the authority to do so.
I don't know why people just don't follow the rules. I don't think people even read the rules.
I can say this. I've been a member since 2007 and this has always been a problem.
The zero tolerance policy is a good one. Repeat offenders will just be banned from posting on these forums. Its the only way to get a handle on this.

Nope, doesn't bother me at all, if its not what I'm looking for, il save my self the effort, and the dignity and just look past it onto what I am looking for
I only opened th thread to offer advice,
My momma taught me "if you ain't got something nice to say. Don't say anything"
Yes people post in the wrong sections but flaming at them is a case of 'two wrongs don't make a right', there are better ways of telling people what to do apart from being condescending about it....It's not like the people flaming are paying for the hosting space or their servers are being clogged up....so just keep calm and carry on to a different thread
