I'd really appreciate it if someone on here can figure out a way to get the Wii Controller app running on the EVO with or without going around whatever the problem is with Sense UI. I'm using a stock rooted EVO running the latest rooted updates.
That would be awesome!

Just posted under the other thread, this one being the original I thought the information would be better here. I most recently tested "Wiimote Controller" (free version) on Avalaunch's Deodexed 2.2 ROM, and keep coming up with a failed to initialize error, same thing happens with stock.
Still looking for a way to get this to work... bump.

This. Screw Sense and its lack of Bluetooth support.

hah
the best part is how 4g works in cyanog
oh.. wait..
I looked into this a few weeks ago, I found the actual developer of the wiimote app had posted for help trying to solve the issue, it sounds like it's something as basic as sense using a custom function for bluetooth syncing and the developer doesn't know which function call to use as a replacement. The function could very likely exist, he just needs to know what it is.
Here is the thread, which he seems to have abandoned..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676212
We need to connect him with some of the other seasoned developers, htc would probably share whatever the function he needs to use is if someone would just ask using the correct channels.. I've seen several developers in the evo forums get direct responses from HTC over proprietary code issues, I think it's all about persistance.
Bump. We despritly need this support for our EVOs...
if cyanogen can do it, someone else should be able to mimic that and port it over to us

the problem is the bluetooth drivers in EVERY rom that has HTC Sense. Period. Unless HTC fixes it, it more than likely won't happen. it's not exactly something that can be flashed or installed...
Makes sense.

I have decided to open a Questions and Answers thread on this section of the forum. This is a good way to keep the number of new threads with questions down to a minimum, which will make new threads essentially for people that are contributing to the HTC EVO Shift 4G. This includes, but is not limited to, people that are providing the following:
- Roms & Kitchens
- Programs & Apps
- Fixes & Tweaks
- Skins & Themes
- Tips & Tricks
I would like to request the help from other members to keep the thread in order and in check. This will have the added side effect of creating an ever self updating knowledge base that will far extend the content of the Wiki. This will in turn save us from having to answer the same question a billion times...
Please refer to the Wiki first before asking any questions though! It can be located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Speedy

I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to disable Sense on the Evo Shift.
I've seen it done on the original Evo, but I heard that HTC phones with Froyo cannot use the default android launcher anymore.
is this true?

AOSP roms (which will come when there is permanent root) do indeed liberate the phone from sense
It will not get rid of sense at all, but you can install ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro to have a different/more customizeable home screen expirenece.
When using those you will not be able to use sense widgets either though.
I just bought my EVO Shift 4g. How do I figure out if I have done any updates that might have cost me not to be able to root? Also, what happens if i do Root my EVO Shift 4g? Is it similar to to the iOS Jailbreak?

Here's some good info on rooting. It's a linux term, and in a way is similar to "jailbreaking," but they're not exactly the same. If you want to root when permanent root becomes available for the Evo Shift, I'd play it safe and not update at all.
Does anyone know who is working on getting us permanent root for our phones?

It should be different. Autokiller is a min free manager, which is much different from task killers. At this point in the progress of android, a task killer will not do much, except drain the battery.

So what all would be required to get calls working on this? Is it just a matter of getting a phone app on there or is it a more complex problem? Id love to see this get to be a full fledged, stable rom.
It won't ever have working phone stuff.

You could have a duel boot setup to have both in one device, easier than switching backups. I'm gonna give this a run, any kernels work best for this?
Loaded this up, slow I expected. No on board keyboard that I got to work. The physical keyboard did not have functional numbers that I got to work. I could not get the power button to work either.Nice work though, looks good.
So, sent from my mobile. What's new?
sorry to bother, but i've a question.. i've got a samsung i9003 that has chipset mostly identical to droid, the rest of the hardware is different, i know, phone,gps,wifi,etc. it is possible to recompile kernel from milestone to samsung, knowing the differences,and adding the kernel modules to make it work? gingerbread for this phone is arriving next month,but no rom have been spotted, but i hopo... sorry to invade your section, but i wanted to ask to some developers and i hope a good reply... sorry for my english.
True, the original software isnt meant for phones BUT, he just managed to boot it on a phone, opening up the possibilty phone use. I want to know whats required to get it working.
I loaded up the rom and it works but there are missing elements, without them it is pretty much useless. I had no wifi or data so I could not load anything on it. Neat to play with though, needs a 1000 MHz kernel just to tinker with.
kind make me happy i made the choice of buying this phone in july last summer.
How about root access? Flashed another overclock kernel pushed setcpu but no root access
Very impressive although for phone use doesn't do much there. Plus I can't use the power switch to shut device on and off
did this project die? hopefully not just seems no development has happened in a while
Really, its not going to get any better than this. Only reason I ported it to my phone was because I wanted to see what it would look like. Then people started requesting ports. This was never and will never be anything close to a DD. Its just something fun to flash and play with for a minute, then go back to your ctual rom.

I believe you will have to download a wii remote app from the market and then flash a cm7 rom to possibly get it to work. No guarantees on it working. I've never tried or have i wanted to try...but I know stuff like that doesn't always work on these phones. Just gotta try it yourself.
I do not know your skill level on android so I wont bash you. Please read and search the xda forums and search Google. I found plenty of info on this subject in less than 3 mins. As far as rooting use the hack kit and read everything!!!! Finally read the rom threads under the dev section to see which are cm7 based and which are sense based. You need to do the rest of the leg work on your own. Good luck..
I got your 10 char right here
Ok, everything worked good, and for my final question. How do I get it to look like it use to? Is there maybe like a Sense rom I could install with the CM7, or a theme of some sort? Any help would be awesome.

what? If you're rooted, what you have is the stock ROM but with root access, nothing should look different then it did before oyu rooted? if you want that out of the box feel with no bloat, try Cleardroid. If you want AOSP, try Absolution. If you want CM7 to have that sense look (kinda) go with a new launcher, try Go launcher. I use absolution, take a peak at the post your screen shots thread in the theme forum and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Please don't ask what the best ROM is, I'll blow up your house if you do. Just kidding but seriously, don't ask that dumb question.

Had some interesting fun with the packages on Oneiric. Turns out lib32readline5-dev no longer exists in the repositories. I managed to find the lib32readline5 package, will that suffice, or should I remove that package and manually install the -dev one? Found a .deb for it after I had already started the repo sync.
you should be fine without it...as long as you have ubuntu 64bit (Oneric).
If you get any build errors (like I did), let me know because there is a fix for it...
Also, please try out the HAL camera as I said in my first post before you compile the rom.
THanks!
Hi there guys, Great to see that work is still being done on such an old phone, though its old, im stuck with it so a fresh look can be nice once in a while , Ill be keeping a keen eye on the updates , i tried the rom for myself and am impressed, not too far away from making this a RC imo, oh and, if anyone is keen, is anyone able to look into making the earpiece volume for incalls a little louder? I wasnt able to test it myself because no calls were going through, only texts , but if its anything like the original htc sence rims or the CM6-7.x 's they are a tad quiet and would do with some modding anyways thats just my 2 cents, Happy Modding!
Oh and i tried the camera "patch" I think, it didnt seam to fix it for me, though all i did is unpacked the files placed the renamed fixed camera .SO file into the correct location, then repacked the lot before flashing, I dont know if i was supposed to delete the other camera file that was there??
I know it's not doable at the moment, so before everyone comes down on me tellin me it's been asked before, but I heard that someone was able to port the stock (TouchWiz) camera app from the international version I9300 to CM10. Is there any truth to that, an if so, does anyone have the link to it they can pos here?
Thanks

I haven't heard but it would be great. BUT since they could barely get the normal Google camera app to work I'd be surprised.
It has been done on a previous touch wiz device, don't know the details but it is possible. Read the change logs here, perhaps some insight can be had by extracting the Rom and poking around. There would likely also be some useful things in his git
