So wait, HOW exactly do we use this? I don't think we can boot it into an emulator...I've tried loading ROM packages into the Android emulator (for personal use only), and haven't gotten anything other than the "stock" emulator image to appear...and yes I've read through the interwebs, but I haven't figured out how to do it. Trying to do it by summer, though.

The thunderbolt is shipping with 2.2.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I know, I just read that afterwards. Sadly...it'll prob get 2.3 though (after 6 months like every other HTC phone gets updated lol).
So couple of things. This download is hugh lol and has anyone tryed the radio in it yet just woundering if maybe we might see a chance of being able to access the lte network (wishfull thinking) if no one has do it by time i get home witch i will about 9pm i will do it well see what happens lol. other than that is it really gingerbread with sense.
No Gingerbread, it ships with 2.2 (I asked that question too lol).
And I think that the 4G radio is a hardware thing, not software . Good wishful thinking though XD
yea no joke but hey new radio no telling what good it could it do though.
True that. The Mecha doesn't only run on 4G, but 3G also, so it might up our data speeds. Theoretically. I mean, it kind of makes sense for that to be the case.

The radio.img controls much more than just 3G/4G. It controls other hardware in the device, and flasing a bad radio is the only (afaik) definitive way to turn your incredible (or any other device) into a shiny paperweight.
To use the 4G network, the phone would need LTE bands in addition to the CDMA bands, which the Incredible probably doesn't have.
I remember a few months ago, however, when someone found some 4G stuff in the Incredible system files. Something about it was supposed to go to Sprint but ended up going to Verizon at the last minute. So there could be a chance the Incredible has the capability to run on LTE, I guess.
I could be completely wrong, and it's mostly just speculation, but, yeah.

4g LTE requires a sim card
So even if our device had the capability somehow it doesn't at the same time

Good evening/morning. First I'd like to thank AOSP and everyone else that has contributed to the 2.3.2 Gingerbread ROM. It runs great, haven't had any problems running at 768mhz and I just love it. Thanks for all your hard work!
I do have a question though...is it possible to run Sprint's NASCAR app on this ROM? I don't remember what ROM I used long ago (I think it was a 2.1 Fresh, but not sure), but I remember having to install a sprint core APK along with any of the Sprint Apps I wanted (though I only really wanted the TV and NASCAR).
I've done some searching and a LOT of reading of posts, but haven't seen anything that applies to me.
Can anyone help? If it's possible, where can I get the APK(s)? If it's not, any idea why not? If it's not, can it run on CM6 or would I have to go all the way back to 2.1 (not really worth it to go back that far).
Thanks guys and keep up the great work!

Even though you are a Harvick fan, I'll help you out.
I used root explorer to put the Sprint_NASCAR.apk into /system/app. Then I changed the permissions to RW-R--R--. I then rebooted the phone.
I tested on aospCMod-03012011 and the first time I ran it, it opened and then closed. I then went back into it and everything loaded fine.

Worked great! Thanks! To anyone else looking for this app...you don't need to go to ABD....just transfer it to your phone and install it from your file manager. It took about a minute on mine, but it works perfectly...plus it still had my settings from when I used to have the app a long time ago (favorite driver, etc)...must be linked to my sprint account or my google account.

I think more likely it is probably linked to your Sprint account as it is a Sprint app. It had kept my settings from October when I first rooted and I had formatted my SD card.

Hey gang, my wife's Hero is running Cyanogenmod 7. Yesterday we ported her number to Google Voice. I called Sprint to have them re-activate the phone under a new line. That went through, but my wife can't call. She gets a recording saying she could either dial 911 or operator (or something like that). Sprint tech says they can't activate it if it's rooted (she told them).
Anyway, the phone worked great until the port. Is there something I can do so it has service again? Boot into recovery and clear all data?
Thanks.
Flash a Sense rom, then call Sprint to activate. Then just nand back to cm. It will work. The missus hero was rooted when I got it for her and that's how I did it.
Also, this shouldn't be posted in the dev section. Q&A or general is where it should be.

It is used to reprogram the phone so that it can be used on a different account. WIthout it, you can only use the phone on your account - so if you wanted to sell it to someone, you would to need to reprogram it for the next user's account. That is where ##3282# comes into play.

I can't believe this, I left for a bit, went back to my xperia play.
put together a quick theme for my xperia play (it's so much easier to theme, it's already blue).
Then came back with my raider/vivid ready to work (xperia play is my daily now) and looks like pirategohst left, wildchild left. I'm so sad.
I was so ready to move from VJraiders rom to Pirategohost rom. but if development is dead why bother.
One thing i can say, this phone seems to not get much work on it like other devices, I have an xperia x1 (i know it's old), xperia x10, xperia play, htc evo 3d and all those devices are worked on daily. I know the raider is the newest device but....
Well enough with that, time to put to rest my raider and play with my evo 3d and play. all i need now is sony to release the xperia s and I'll be good.
Hey wildchild and pirateghost sad to see you leave and hope all is well, take care.
BYE BYE raider.
PM me if you want to make me an offer for my raider, it's from rogers.
Sad is right... I was about to buy a Raider/Vivid... But it looks as though the entire Dev community has decided to pull support... No sources, no links, no ROMS aside from Cyanogen and shipped?!?!
Sad scary day, I'll look around for XDA alternatives, but this makes me fairly upset, I've got a couple other androids at home, and there's a fair share of fighting on dev, but in the end it's about making a GOOD ROM, for yourself, and sharing it with a community... I can't fathom the flame wars that started in this forum.
Oh well, I'll wait for the HTC One series LOL
This was already a small dev community, and then the fact that a bunch of people wouldn't listen and bother taking the effort to try and read and really understand what they were doing meant they screwed up a very expensive device.
Oh well, everyone is already off to the One series.

If i change the xml's in framework res it makes sense crash after the first boot. this is what caused me to set my xperia play back up, I need a daily phone.
then i was going to try and fix what was causing the issue. i needed to be able to flash and reflash each time i mod the apk's.
Funny thing is, my raider is the fastest phone i have right now and the more i use my xperia play i really miss the speed of a dual core cpu.

Do you get the apk from the dist folder after building it on apktools? Or are you replacing the res folder on the original apk file?

I use the apk in your rom, then run it in apktools, then recompile with no errors.
I did not have an issue with version 2 of you rom.
But just to be clear, the apk's i theme are all from your rom, thats why they wouldn't work in any other rom.
They're all around if you know where to look. WC is on his own site, and I saw Pghost post on that site about obtaining and possibly porting the Endeavor RUU. Cm9 development is paused until we get kernel sources from HTC, so not all is lost. It just requires patience.

I really don’t care what happens to the Vivid anymore since the HTC One X and the Galaxy SIII should be out in a month or two. I’m sure those two beasts will have a ton of developer support. I guess next time I’ll make sure to get a more popular phone even though I think the Vivid is one of the best LTE phones that AT&T has.
More HTC One (M8) for Windows launch details leak out

I really hope someone can dual boot the M8 between the Android and Windows.. That would be great for Windows phone operating system in general. People will get to try them and realize that they aren't that bad at all (as compared to what they used to be).

More than likely, this will happen. Especially if the hardware is exactly the same, I foresee this for the near future.

I love Android and Windows Phone. I have found that as Windows machines get smaller (My Dell venue pro 8, for instance), they are making my phone more of a messaging and talking device again. It's funny how this works. I'd love to get in on the WP action.
Unless they announce a WebOS option... we can dream, right?

I would love to see what WebOS would be like on a device like this. My first smartphone was a Palm Pixi, and the interface was wonderful. It got really slow with time, and full data wipes didn't help anymore.
But that's just wishful thinking.
Back on topic, tho. Can anyone weigh in and comment on how likely it is that we'll be able to install the version of Windows Phone that was just released on our Sprint/Android versions?

No, I'm not converting to WM either, even if it was to come to Sprint. However, I have never even seen WM live in person, and I wouldn't mind giving the Rom a flash.
Same here. I wouldn't buy it but if there was a port for Android m8 I would definitely flash the rom
I've suggested to HTC to make a dual boot for their top phone. So that, no matter which you buy, you can switch as you like. I guess it's gonna benefit MS more than HTC，but it could be a nice push for sale of the phone because it's just another unique feature that nobody really bothered to do.
I've used the WP 7 for a long time and like that very well. Since now the M8 takes SD card, the storage space is less a concern, so makes this even more workable.
IMO the best will be dual boot, so that you can choose on bootup, the second will be a flash, which would be harder to change. But either way, it'll be very neat.
Was just thinking the exact same thing
I've seen the buzz lately about the m8 Windows version, and when it finally clicked that they both had the same hardware I started digging around to see if I could find info on a possible port.
I did find this YouTube video, posted today, but the poster didn't give much information, only a link to what appears to be a ROM file https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_FHG7Uq3a8
Maybe someone more experienced than myself could look into the .zip to see what's going on in there or maybe help me find out where it came from - I'm sure this link didn't pop up from nowhere if it is truly legit.
