Evo using chatroullete - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Will the evo be able to use chatroulette, since flash is available on android, and it has a front-facing cam? Or do we have to wait until the froyo update for full flash support?

In the spirit of actually answering the question, you won't be able to use the cam in the browser until froyo, then you should.

verified. doesn't work with the built in browser or opera.

Thanks for clearing that one up guys, I was just wondering ever since the phone's announcement. I figured, the phone's got a nice cam, with android shouldn't be a problem to achieve something like that, and it would have flash soon. So I thought why not chatroulette, since I had just started toying around with that site around the time the evo was announced. The site is a lot more interesting if you use it for purposes other than jerking off, I mean it's fun to just talk to random people. That's the whole purpose of the site anyways, if you want to jack it go get some porn, don't come on chatroulette for a good time. AT least not in that sense. Hopefully the phone will work with other sites like stickam or any other live webcam streaming sites.

Well I can confirm it doesnt work on any rom I've tried even in the stock browser with flash 10.1 installed. Hopefully they realize this and somehow can get it to work.

How long do we think it will take to root?

With full access to the ROMs and EVOs now, it doesn't seem like it will take long to me. Do any informed experts have any ideas?

took me 7-8 hours to root the samsung moment once we got a copy of the leaked android 2.1....this phone is setup completely different and i dont physically have it to test anything.
im doing some research and hope to figure out a solution, but it'll be hard for me to test it for sure.
if anybody else has some insight with previous HTC and android experience, that'd be great to hear some other opinions?!
or maybe an HTC phone with similar file system structure which was rooted?
joey do u plan on getting this phone? i had a moment but was lucky enough to get the evo off someone that went to i/o.....it would be awesome to have your kernels working on this bad boy!!!

yea, im heavily considering it. i qualify for my upgrade so for $199 and giving up a hardware keyboard for all the great hardware features this has, i think its worth it!
i hope to be able to compile a few kernels for you and everybody else

ah dont even worry about the onscreen keyboard it takes a second to get used to it. that was the reason why i picked the moment over the hero but i still found myself using swype lol. as of now im just using the htc keyboard and its pretty slick so far just have to train the dictionary.
i work for sprint, my indirect rep came in with his evo the other day and so i installed swype 1.25 on it. FREAKIN. AWESOME. also, MAD props to joeykrim. i have the moment and he has done SO many wonderful things with it. but it looks like im going to htc...
EDIT: joey, i would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to see you move to the evo and see what that genius brain can cook up. if you ever need a tester, im all over it. been with you on sdx since the days you and speedrabbit were bustin down and fixing 1.5.
IM getting the EVO day of release and maybe another for testing. Let me know when you want to get this thing a try. i just hope it doesn't brick XD
knowing joeykrim, once he gets his grubby hands on an Evo - it'll be rooted there soon after.
glad to see some familiar names over here guys...
Looks like the question has just about been answered :>

Important note - I have no farm .
HTC Evo 4G rooted in record time

Yeah but in case you guys haven't heard the shipped 2.1 rom you guys get may not be final. Sprint could easily push an update to close off root. Just look in the hero section, the final 2.1 RUU is still not able to be rooted by our best devs. Im not trying to worry anybody but it is a possibility.

Flash stopped!

Hello,
Just discovered that flash has stopped working on BBC web site + others. Message on site says flash 10. 1 is available for Android 2. 2 check to see if your device is compatable. What's going on? Is it my phone or is everyone the same? Was working earlier today. Only thing I've done is download Spare Part from the market. Help would be much appreciated.
You have Android 2.1 or flashed a 2.2 ROM?
Anyway, it could very well be they implemented a check on the website. And they now check for a certain version to be available. And so you are now getting this message.
I mean, once they put that new check online you can't see stuff anymore .
Dunno if spare parts has anything to do with it. Does spare parts do anything with Flash then? If so, I never noticed it before.
Running standard 2. 1, but there's another post, so not just me! Spare part was the only change I'd made since it was working
I posted about this too. wimp.com flash video stopped playing too. It's not the website, I think something in the phone has changes since the firmware update for me. thats when I first noticed it. booooooo
I updated over a week ago & its been fine until last night. So come on HTC, give us Froyo now!

That's because the BBC iPlayer supplies H264 streams to the iPhone - nothing to do with Flash!
I suspect that many flash sites are moving to Flash 10.1 now that it has finally left beta.
Regards,
Dave
Yep, it has stopped working. Confirmed. And Dave's suggestion is the most likely reason.
This is a good move... I hope they all move to it fast. I can only imagine HTC speeding up the Froyo release due to it. As Flash is a big deal for this phone to every customer.

We bought Desire in faith we will soon get full flash support, DivX and 720p recording. Currently we have nothing, now even flash doesn't work anymore. If we won't get update soon, I guess I will have to buy something else, and I doubt I will return back to HTC soon...

Kinda stupid but...

Will the Samsung Epic 4G ever get official CyanogenMod Support? I just got one and opened it this morning and I'm regretting it a little bit. I could still change it for the Evo, but I like this phone, so I was just wondering if more developers will support this device and if it'll ever have official CM support...? Thanks.
Definitely stupid, no kinda about it.
If you had bothered to look around for less than 5 minutes you'd have seen that there is currently a CM7 port in progress that meets criterion for Official support and just needs to be submitted to receive official support.
Damn I didn't know you could Search my entire history and see that I didn't read that Thread? Oh wait, you can't... and hold on, I did.
It is just a port though. When's it going to be submitted? And also, how about Gingerbread? Samsung's been known for leaving a lot of their phones behind... you think we'll ever get Gingerbread or not?
It will be submitted when it's complete, if you read it like you say you did you would know that, and the Evo doesn't exactly have an official Gingerbread either so that would hardly be a logical criterion in keeping the phone.
Yeah, but it does have official CM7 support, and if you asked me which manufacturer I'd believe in more to provide me some Christmas Treats, I'd say HTC. Oh, and the neighbors loud music.
Hey I traded my evo for an epic and it has its pros and cons. It really is a much better device, better screen, faster, and it has the physical keyboard. The big down side is there is not as many devs on it.
There is a team right now working on build CM7 from source for the epic so it will then be supported by the cm team. They are getting close but there still are some bugs.
If I was you I would hold on to the epic its a pretty damn good phone.
Edit: CM will only support a CM rom if its built from source, so as right now its not supported by cm. But from what I understand they are still helping.
I strongly agree with what you said, and for that, I will hold onto the phone. Thanks for that.

Big help with ZTE Anthem N910

Hi guys im looking for a little support on find a way to root the new ZTE Anthem from metro pcs... I tried the same way the ZTE Blade is rooted but that led to nothing but wasted time its running 2.3.5 and that SUCKS to be such a good phone at this price range...as you can tell i am a noob to this website but not phone mods so all support will be grateful thanks!
same here
Im hoping someone from this site will give us some help with this problem. I hate gingerbread and am starting to hate this phone. For having dual core processor i wouldnt get so many FC's but i get them constantly. I use ES task manager and still get them all the time. And no flash support (gingerbread) and third party browsers barely work...For the price you would think youd be getting a decent phone? Im starting to disagree. But hey at least the pre installed kung fu panda 2 (that i cant erase) so that should make it all better....
Any updates?

Do you have any updates on a root method for this phone? I've had it about three months and I've been looking for ways to root the whole time. I actually joined XDA just five minutes ago just to respond to this thread. So, any updates?

After searching all over the net for a way to root the ZTE and finding nothing, I sold it and flashed a sprint sgs3 to metro. I'm so much happier with the galaxy its not even funny. My only drawback is I haven't been able to get my mms messaging to work. Sorry for not being much help, good luck on your search. .

[Q] I'm surprised devs are still working on this device

I meandered on to the development section and was quite surprised to see such recent ROMS and developers working on a cell phone that is turning 3 years old in 5 months. Many EVO buyers have had their contracts expire and are able to upgrade to a new phone. There are much faster phones out there, with better specs that are possibly more interesting to develop for, because you might reach a larger user base. My question to the Devs is why are you sticking to the original EVO? Don't get me wrong, I am a current original EVO owner myself so by all means, keep up the good work, just curious as to why you stuck to such an old device.
Simple answer is its fun! Its a great way to get practice and many devs have friends in the forum. So why walk away completely? If you still have it, you can test away on things you try to build.

Haha, so the EVO is just a scapegoat for developers that don't want to brick their actual device?

Accidental thanks :banghead: in some cases, no. But I actually have less a reason to not flash everything in sight, if you catch my drift..

Also the EVO is, and always has been a great Device. Why walk away from it when it still viable, and as stated hellua fun. The proof is in the pudding. Look at the support, and Rom Development available

i bought a sprint htc evo 4g that i bought from amazon ... i cant use sprint in my country and i cant unlock a sprint phone since itc cdma right?... but can i just leave the phone like with sprint but root it and play wiith iit because the only reason i bought it was to learn everything about rooting and i needed a test device...??
There are jelly bean ROMS for the OG? Are all the radios working?

Sure. Since you don't have service on the phone, it's basically a really small tablet. All the basic functionality will work, and there is always WiFi.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Please, be specific. The ROM is fully functional outside of the things that require new drivers for Android 4.x, i.e. front-facing camera, and WiMAX.

It's actually SDX Developers...and yes the Moment was the "Evo" of it's time, sadly however, it's time has passed. I'm a new convert over to XDA from SDX, having to give last rites to my Moment a month ago. Really only one active ROM still being worked on (UberMoment 1.6 - props to TheTehk17 for hanging in there :good: ). They never got a GB Rom fully functional (CM7 was close), all dev was, and still is, Froyo. Major hardware limitations and lack of support will probably keep any further ROM upgrades forthcoming.
Inherited an OG to use for now - great to see all the work being done! Waiting for the arrival of the S4 or M7 for upgrade, until then enjoying the plethora of ROM's available!
Upon upgrade, I will be passing the OG on to any dev here who will continue to put it to good use!

lol.. brain fart
Yeah, I never thought the Moment could successfully run Froyo, unless there was a hybrid Froyo/GB Rom. I dev'd a nice ROM for the Moment, but I think I took all the links down a few months ago.

The devs did a pretty good job porting over Froyo ROMs from the Intercept and Transform, and got those pretty functional. Otherwise, the phone would have been stuck on 2.1 Eclair! As mentioned, they have a somewhat working CM7 - buggy, but it does boot up.! The dev that ported that moved on leaving no one to work out the kinks.
So, for me, I'm like a kid in a candy store with not only GB Roms, but ICS, JB, AOSP.......and Sense too! Hell, I'm in hog heaven
lol. yeah, you can flash a different ROM every day for a year, going back to 2.1 if you wanted to
