Okay, so I get to be a newb again :l
So, I've searched the forum previously and found very few threads containing information directly related to the Japanese version of the HTC EVO 3D, which is the ISW12HT. The few threads I had found, weren't particularly helpful.
My question is this - I want to root, but I'm curious if I can just use any ROM/Kernal without it losing functionality. From what I understand, the Japanese Service Providers operate on a different frequency than the US, so, would I need to maintain my current radios? Does the root/rom process overwrite the radios in the first place, or does it leave them intact? (Or is this ROM-specific?) Or am I way off track in my understanding of how these things work...?
I'm tired of waiting for ICS to flow over, and quite frankly am too excited for the features Jellybean has to offer, to wait any longer
Also side note/question about the forum itself: I did most my searching on my Xoom/Evo3D before, but for some reason when I'm on my computer, I cannot find the search threads function anywhere. :l Am I just blind? Where is it?
Roms that are based on sense usually do not have lost functionality, but aosp Roms do at this point (specifically 3d). Most Roms do not overwrite the radios.
As for the website, there is a general search box at the top, and a search this thread button near the top right. Sometimes the site takes down the search this thread function.

Thanks, the search button is there now, I didn't know they removed it from time to time. That must have been the case when I went to look for it.
Alright, time to get ICS

Well, currently we've got something that doesn't fall short of a horrible mass of Sticky threads; and with the explosion of ROM development possibilities; I propose a new forums entitled WM2006 (or something to the effect) where all efforts related purely to ROM upgrading etc, and less technical stuff can be posted; sure the lines would blue at times, but I think it'd balance out the mass of stuff nicely in much a similar way as has been done with the Himalaya forums.
On a different note... I will be cooking my own ROM which I intend to base upon WM6 Vanilla, but undoubtedly with features borrowed from Kyphur's release, except I intend to provide it with zero-branding since I utterly can't stand any form of branding on a phone personally other than the OS being presented the way in which God intended
What I *will* be doing however is kitting it out with a selection of applications and tools that would prove useful on the phone, so if people have suggestions, I'm all ears.
also... while I'm at it; is it safe to use the BuildImgFs.exe to build a ROM from the dump folder? cheers in advance for an answer to that one... since I *think* MakeImgFs just cleverly invokes AddFile.exe I reckon it'll work.
I was going to mention the sticky issue myself. At 1280x1024 the stickies pretty much take up the whole screen.
About the ROM cooking - are you sure you don't want to wait until kyphur releases the final vanilla ROM? It should be a lot more stable than a beta (obviously) and it wouldn't have all the weird issues like WiFi on/off only displaying "on," et cetera.
As for possible applications, since you'll probably cook it anyway (I know I would if I had the time) I think including the Widcomm stack would be extremely beneficial. I realize it's not a trivial task, but you did ask for suggestions... And, yes, I realize it's not technically an application
I think the wiki should be used for most of the things that are stickies now. Heh, what we need is a question to post a message to the forums. A question that the answer can be found in the wiki to... encourage.. people to read that first before posting stupid questions.
"How many stupid people does it take to make a brick?"
Too easy.. but I'm sure they'll find out the hard way.

awe c'mon maz have a heart. we have to laugh at someone. and those chosen few just so happens to be the ones that dont like reading 70 pages of useful information.
They're not even my threads and I get frustrated with the people registering to say "I flahs you rom and now it not wokr no more. How do i fix???!?!?!?!?" in something like the technical gps thread. I'm too polite to reply with, "You get that brick there, and shove it right up your...." like someone should. It's not like the thing is going to get any more rooted in the few days it'll take them to read the wiki and threads.
Cheers.

I should make this into a proper sig.
I'll update the wiki with some information on the sticky threads and remove some of them soon.
Hi all,
I've had my EVO View 4g and I just rooted. I'm kind new to android so I'm learning as I go. I just had a couple of questions regarding my View tablet. They are as follows...
1. I purchased my tablet without a data plan, is this going to affect me as far as getting updates (I have an EVO 3d with connected hotspot so I just connect to that)?
2. Now that I'm rooted, where do I go from here? Is there a site that is just for this tablet where I can go to get roms, kernels, themes, etc.? I don't see a whole lot of info regarding this tablet anywhere.
3. Can I use my view to make phone calls even if I don't have a data plan and how?
4. When the heck are we getting Honeycomb?
Any help getting my tablet optimized to its fullest would be greatly appreciated.
1. You don't want OTA updates. If you install one, you will lose root. And depending on what they update, you might not be able to root again until somebody cracks whatever new protection HTC thought up.
Its pretty typical that rooted versions of the most recent updates are posted here in Development. Those are the ones you want to flash, not the official OTAs. Flyer is not as well supported here as other devices. But normally on other devices, rooted versions of OTAs are often available shortly after the OTAs go live. Sometimes even before, if somebody gets a hold of a leaked ROM!
2. Have you looked at the Development section? ROMs and kernels are posted there.
3. Dunno
4. Nobody knows except HTC, and they aren't saying.
Thanks a million!
I haven't looked at the development section just yet, but I will do that asap. One more question....
Can the view be overclocked once I flash a ROM. If so where can I find a kernel?
Also, can you recommend a for the view?
Again, thanks so much for the help. Your the only one!
I apologize if this has already been discussed, but I didn't see any threads regarding my specific question. I dont get on the forum chat to often anymore so I havent been following the latest news.
I dont know much about developing, infact I know just enough to have my thunderbolt rooted and flash software to it. With ICS on the Gallaxy nexus now being sold, will this open the door to developers getting the software and framework to then apply to custom ICS roms for other devices like the thunderbolt or Dinc2?
I haven't really seen any successful ICS roms out yet. Is it just a matter of time before it is put to work?
Source has been out for weeks, its already being worked on.
so, its just a matter of time then. How are the soft keys going to take affect since all other devices have them already? You think the developers will simply find a way to make that an option to apply or not?
So, ive made a big switch. I went from a Captivate with 2.3, to my EVO 3D. Im currently running on 2.3.4 and Hboot 1.49.
Im looking to root the dev so i can remove some of the onboard rogers crap. Stuff in the background is running when i don't want it to. And some of the games and junk on here, i just want to get rid of.
Im reading several threads, but none of them are specific enough. Can someone point me to the proper rooting thread for this build? I dont plan on using a ROM, this OS is stable as it is.
As well, can someone recommend me an Antivirus? Ive heard of people starting to use these, maybe someone can suggest me one.
Thanks in advance,
-Dan

Apparently you haven't read the important threads, otherwise you would have posted this in the right forum :')
Antivirus is overrated AFAIK, it's pretty much only an issue if you plan on installing unknown APKs or using third party app stores. I've been hacked once when I installed an unknown APK on my tablet, which resulted in a password reset of my Google account because my credentials were compromised and some prick attempted to log in to my account from Argentinia
I've looked at the other forum regulations and this was the one that came the closest to the subject. Then again, i also haven't been on the forum for about 6-9 months.
If someone can direct this thread to the proper section that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

this forum is for ROM development. Your thread is about a question you have. That means this thread should go into Q&A (I honestly feel sorry for doing this, the Q&A forum is a very dark place where you can easily lose your mind among the imbeciles)
Definitively off dev thread ;-)
Depending on your hboot version many subprocesses are related.
My advise is to precisely indentify tour default settings then you will easily find out your happiness to clean what you dont want.
Btw, in dev section there are severals cleaned stock roms.
Depending on what you are looking for and consequences (root needed, s off, ...), make tour choice and enjoy.
Personnaly my favorite for daily usage is the Mwakious 3d one, but official ics update is coming since this morning all around the world (do not know for Roget)
Jump and enjoy this really Nice and Effective toy.

Well, ill take a closer look around and see what may benefit me. As stated before, im on Hboot 1.49. Im used to rooting and customizing my Captivate, not exactly the same as the HTC, thats for sure.
moved to q&a as this is not development. if you did not develop anything then do not post in the development section

I like the anti-theft features of Lookout, but I prefer the other features (especially with regard to root features) of Avast. Right now though, I'm not running any.

Is there anyway WE can organize the Roms listed in the Development Section. I find it very confusing on which Roms are out/released, which versions they are (CDMA / GSM) and which version of Android they run on. To my knowledge, there is not even a Sticky posted for Roms that are released - or maybe I'm just not seeing it.
THanks, EHB
I can even pitch in, in making this happen if needed

Welcome to what I think the most confusing phone forum ever. There is the 910, 912, Maxx, GSM, CDMA and god knows what more all rolled into one forum. Every time I open this forum to get somewhere, I read a couple of brick posts and this scares me. First, Verizon has made it difficult it seems and second, a lack of organization on this forum scares me away from rooting and installing a custom rom.
