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.

No, that doesn't kinda make any sense at all.

It doesn't? Aw darnit... lol.

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

I don't remember where I saw it, but I saw mrozzeh talking about this release last week and he mentioned that it will only be for HTC devices.

Yeah. They are referring to other HTC devices. I believe it's based an an HBOOT exploit, which is HTC specific. So yes, it is completely useless for the X unfortunately
(unfortunately for you guys anyway.... I have an Incredible do it's great news for me) =P

[Q]Rooting HTC Raider/Holiday

I live in Korea and got the HTC Raider a couple weeks ago. It is supposedly being released as the HTC Holiday in the US.
I am DYING to root this phone!!! Anyone have any idea how to do it? I would really appreciate any help!
Thanks a lot in advance!
hey, buddy. kinda like only in your country has both the raider and 9100, so how do you think about the two? and how do you like the raider?
Is the Korean version of the Raider unlocked? I live in Hong Kong - been trying to find a parallel import version but it seems impossible....
just got the rogers version of the raider... sad there's no root for it yet
Htc vivid aka raider/holiday has almost same specs but comes in black or white with a 1.2 ghz processor and its coming to the us november 6. Whats everyones reviews? Good, bad or go with the galaxy s 2?
I for the Bell version of HTC raider , it is blazing fast...I was able to clock 8.15mbps in lte mode. I was move on between LTE/HSPA+/HSPA/Wf-fi flawlessly.
its a great device
Not sure how to get the forum going for this device
Got My Bell HTC Raider yesterday
I had the s2 i9100 previously and love the HTC raider I clocked 10 mbs down in Calgary, don't even have LTE here yet that's just 4G+.

So what made u cross over to the htc raider? Im coming from my first android phone in the htc inspire 4g which im enjoying but i am ready for an upgrade and im stuck between the galaxy s2 skyrocket and the htc vivid from AT&T.
Went for the Raider/vivid due to dual channel hspa +
Sent from my HTC-X710a using XDA App
Dual channel hspa+ , notification light, LTE, since its a HTC phone once its rooted you can get beats audio on it.
Thought about waiting for the nexus but don't know if its dual channel hspa + yet and like having 16gb built in and the option for additional storage (have a 32gb micro SD)
Sent from my HTC-X710a using XDA App
Koreans already rooted the Raider/Vivid
a guy in the korean htc forum made a permanent rooting tool for it
which means that my raider is rooted
but I am not sure whether itz going to work for at&t version

Im not super android literate, i know theres different types of root from what ive read. i was able to temp root it using zergs one root method. It would revert back to non rooted status after restart. i unlocked my bootloader and applied this method afterwards and the phone is still rooted. i am able to use setcpu etc but most importantly titanium backup which i love. hopefully this helps some

Any issues with USB Connectivity using this method? Any issues with Micro SD Card? I know when I used this on my Atrix 2 which I returned for this device it started having issues with Not Mounting to the PC etc.
Not sure what you would like a picture of, i took a screenshot of my titanium home screen if that helps, it shows i have root access also took a screenshot in cpu master pro which requires root

Hey guys,
new Bio owner here. I was previously on Sprint with an evo 4g. Unfortunately it doesnt seem like the modding/rom community for this phone is nearly as big :[
Any good roms out? I'm excited to start using the phone...

Liberty ROMs have been the best on all other phones I've used, so i got a liberty rom. Its only in beta for the bionic right now though and its not on this forum. You'll have to do a little google searching to find it. Its in an IRC chat somewhere but i cant remember where.
Based on just looking around the forums here, it seems Th3ory is pretty popular and there's a lot out for it.
A quick look in the development thread would have answered your question

Yeah I just ordered the extended battery for mine.
If you have 4G, that takes up a LOT of battery. You can go to Settings, Wireless Networks, Mobile Networks, Network mode.....then switch from CDMA/LTE to CDMA only.
CDMA = 3G
LTE = 4G
Thanks... I do live in orange county CA so there is ample 4g around me... perhaps I will keep that on but leave off the wifi if 4g proves to be fast enough.
I was hoping cyanogen worked on bionic :[

It's faster than my internet at home. I often turn my hotspot on and connect to it even when I'm at home and just leave my phone plugged in cuz hotspot drains battery QUICK (at least until my battery gets too hot)
First 4g test gave me about 3mbs up and down. Half signal.
Sure was easy to root this guy! Time to remove all the ****ware...

There are some apps (I use TeamBlackHat) that have a "Remove Bloat" button that automatically removes all bloat apps.

Wow I'm so sad, i was gone for a week or two and ......

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.

HTC One Roms on carrier HTC Ones

Hey guys - quick question, and sorry if this has been answered before. I did a quick search and couldn't find an answer under FAQ or recent threads. I apologize in advance for any duplicativeness. Here it goes:
I ended up getting my One directly through T-Mobile, so it's not the HTC developer edition or unlocked model. Once I unlock/root my "TMo" HTC One, will the ROMs under the "HTC One" dev forums work, or do I have to stick to the ones posted on the "T-Mobile HTC One" dev threads? Thanks in advance.
They will work on your T mobile HTC One.

Have you seen those custom desktops, Like Stardock or Fences, that have widgets and functions you can't get in regular windows? This is far from 100% accurate but think of the rom as the skin over windows. Those never really effect your drivers(the radio) since they just tweak your GUI so as long as they can run on your hardware you'll never have to worry about them effecting your printer.
Does that make sense or is my brain fried from my self directed 36 hour crash course on this forum?

IDK about ARHD, but triuckdroid will ask you AT&T/INTL/T-MO before you flash, so everything works correctly. I believe all HTC Ones in the US(So Far) are the same as the INTL..... there's a thread about it somewhere.... But just make sure you have the right APN settings. P.S New radios are usually a good thing if you have bad signal all the time (WiFi/Cellular).
Has this been confirmed by anyone else?
