Known Bugs:
After first boot must restart to make wifi work.(i think you have to turn WIFI on first or it dosnt work, idk though) otherwise you'll be stuck in a crash loop. (to get out of the loop just quickly do a restart before it crashes again.)
BATTERY DRAIN!!!
if you actually like to have good battery life then you might want to invest yourself in one of these threads:
http://goo.gl/GrUlx (hrkfdn)
http://goo.gl/NyOQH (Mad-Murdock)
and im pretty sure Mad is now using hrkfdn's fix. so i dont think it matters which one you use. hrkfdn just uses a different kernal with overclocking. (i think, correct me if im wrong)
Radios:
After reading about im not sure if there is a right or wrong radio. but here are ones that seems to work:
12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M (my current radio)
12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M
Thanks goes to everyone who has been working on getting cm7 working right on the Inspire:

Isaac,
thanks for stepping in to clean it up, maybe you can insert the tidbit about the recommended radio, it seems like that is one of the more frequently asked questions because a lot of people don't understand why certain things don't work when its all related to the radio.. etc etc. just a suggestion.

LOL, thats true.. I guess I was just reading the Desire HD thread for CM7 and they recommended a certain older radio. but you're right we've all see multiple reports of them working. maybe put a list? like I am using the one in my signature, that seems to be fine, and I'm sure you're using a different one too..

Thanks for getting this more organized. One question I haven't been able to find a satisfactory answer to is the following:
Do the nightlies have the battery drain fix already? If so, which builds? If not, please update the first post when they do.
Thanks!

I've tried a few different radios (stock, Telus, and I think Orange?) and all three have been great. Granted, I am in a well-covered area where reception is rarely an issue. The radios seem to effect my reception far less than they did with my Samsung Captivate.

Maybe a thread on "How to find an answer to your issue before you become the 83rd person to ask THAT question" would be beneficial.

Although I personally believe a new thread was needed, symonc has a point. Isaac, perhaps you should provide a link to the old thread and just state it is for reference purposes at this point? You can remove it within a few weeks, as the information will be long obselete; but for right now it may help .

RC2 had an issue where every time you rebooted, your SD card would be nuked. Has that been fixed?

Cyanogenmod is a product of cyanogen and teamdouche, who are active on XDA developers forums. It's up to teamdouche, and specifically the device maintainers to decide when it's time to clean up their own threads, and not some random person from the forums. Because the OP has no special access or insight, threads like these are where a great deal of disinformation comes from.

And my disinformation is what? Ill gladly change anything. I'm just trying to help the community that wants to run and test cm7.
I said in the last post of the last one. If they want to update the other one then by all means do that and delete this one. But until then I'm going to maintain this thread to help and inform.
I'm not out to get anyone or anything. Its just that this is a relatively new device on the market and has new users all the time.
Just informing my fellow testers.

Please look at this thread to s-off your devices: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601
If your DS is updated to the latest HBOOT, you will need to downgrade, for the HTCDEV to work (S-off).
Hope this helps

Dude, you have no idea what HTCDev is, right?
What you have put up, is a screenshot of the Revolutionary tool... can only be used for the older hboots, not the newer one. HTCDev is a website by HTC which allows unlocking of the newer bootloader as well.
So you've gone through a lot of exercise for nothing...

Also the moderators unfortunately don't read our threads but rely on us to report using the report button
Which unfortunately again very few people use

My suggestion is read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22471866&postcount=154
I too was going to S-off it on HTC Dev - good thing i ask first. Check the link why it is much better to S-off by Revolutionary and not with HTC Dev

If you do want to use HTC Dev, in the device selection, select the last option - All other supported devices.

Your "effort" to help is appreciable my friend. But by doing so, you're just encouraging this kind of undesirable behavior on the Forum.
What's the point of rules and regulations on a forum, if some members decide to flaunt them brazenly? And it gets worse if others join in and answer the thread anyway. What's the point of relocating the thread later? This will just set precedent for others to repeat the same thing over and over again, and desecrate the DEV forum, because they get what they want anyway... while well-meaning members who complain about "wrong thread" are dissed away by people like you for being less willing to help.
Come to think of it, the "wrong thread" posts, in reply to inappropriate threads, are actually more helpful in the long run, than the equally misguided "helpful" answers by like-minded myopic members.

Djonni DK said:
First of all I really thought that the forum was regularly monitored. Secondly, there's never a rule without an exception. New members might read what they need to and still post wrong places. We've got to be flexible and help. No need to be a snob..... we've all been noobs at some point.
Come to think of it.... posting wrong thread several times keeps the post in the top of the forum. So the best thing would be to write a pm or report to moderator.... and not answer at all.
I'm not dissing anybody... just trying to help and trying to avoid a forum where new people are afraid to ask because of the reactions. Several forums are so strict and lose with warnings that the conversations and new ideas are none existing.

To illustrate the point about no moderation, I flagged the post to be moved when I made #4 (yesterday night). Which I've done again today at #8 when I mentioned the Report button in an attempt to educate others - however the thread still exists..
Effectively the DS forum is self moderated with external moderation provided when and if needed (via use of the report button) with some delay.
While we were all Noobs at the start, even though it may be nice to provide answers to all questions - when they posted in the wrong place - it doesn't set the right example.
I created the thread [DEV][14 OCT 11] DEV naming convention (plus more) READ BEFORE CREATING THREAD! which is a sticky within this section, which explains all about new threads and the DEV section just for this reason.
Now lets all take ten.....breath, I'm having a cup of Tea.

Why close all the region specific threads?

They weren't only used to discuss availability. Very bad over moderating, tut tut. Please unlock uk thread or direct me to uk specific thread which discusses new colour and 32gb/64gb availability, carrier specific questions, where to find good uk deals, uk firmware, etc......all in one place.

I agree, found it quite useful for local information,

I understand some of the reasoning behind it but even if they were becoming too big to find information, someone could just post their region specific question in that thread and one of the regular visitors would help out. Saves another new thread being started. Plus they are a great way to track regional changes and progress of the life of the gs4 in a specific country, if you has time to read start to finish.

Then say that, not rhetoric about being banned. In response to clutter, far better have region specific threads than new ones each time one provider gets updated and another doesn't, or three threads excitedly taking about a new gs4 model released in a certain country. It does the exact opposite of clutter

if cluttering is the issue then it can be put into a rolling sticky inside a single thread isnt it?
Its advantages overcome the disadvantages to be frank, say for example
*if i were about to ask a question related to free sview covers samsung is providing in india where should i ask for the progress ,status and opinions?
* if a service provider in india has issues with s4 , say its temporarily down where can i ask for the opinion,status etc?
* If there is a new user coming into the thread and if he/she can see their country thread they feel like home and they can ask for questions or atleast move a bit social.
More can be said, but i dont want to make it biggy , I still beleive the moderation commitee will have fair hearing once again. But whatever the final verdict, its upto them to decide

+1
For bala (and continuing further )...
I used to go directly to Indian Offic.....thread to know the updates, accessories, availability, roms, and other regional info ...but now after closing these ...i am feeling stranded.....
...
Please suggest me if i want to know/discuss about the exact price of galaxy s4 in India/Australia/Etc ..then where should i go......if i am planing to visit UK THEN wouldn UK specfic thread be more useful to clear doubts... ...or in such conditions should i open new topic for this???...no way
I think ...after this action...there is more chance of new threads to be opened for small querries..every second..this may cause more cluttering which will need more thread cleaning process...
I Politely request Moderators to consider little bit attention about my opinion...
Thanks XDA & @LL

Please re open the Brazilian Thread.... We change a lot of useful information there!

This!! This alone made the region specific threads worth it. Please bring them back

You only have to look at the numbers of replies in the Ireland/UK topic to understand it was heavily used where a number of members would come to find out any info on their area phones.
I personally found it of great value and am very surprised it was closed without any other topic of it's kind being brought into use....
The trouble is by closing this one single topic it will in turn now create many, many other topics of greater problematic use.

I've owned all the Samsung models (S1, S2, S3, S3 4g and now S4) and country specific threads have been around for all of them.
I followed the Aussie threads for all those models. It will be a pain now searching for all Aussie related info. One thread will now become a hundred.
Why this decision now?

Moderator should understand what needed and not.dont just simply closing thread that lot of views and comment.its mean the threat is usefull.check out other threat like s2.note.note2...they also having country specific threat and stil not closing by their moderator.i m not complaining bout moderator decision but this time i think this is not a right decision...with specific country threat..new comer and new bie easily asking for other member from their country coz its more friendly to them.others thing..every country have their own internet network provider,not same so in country specific threat they can discuss about it.hope moderator thinking again bout their decision.ty

If you're a new member you probably have a bunch of questions, this is a place for you to come and ask anything you want to without fear of persecution.
Even if you're not a new member, please feel free if there's something you want to know.

All I ask is that you search properly before posting, it is in our rules after all. It's more than likely the questions you want to ask have already been asked and answered before, it's just a matter of finding them. The Evita FAQ thread would be a good place to start. Also, this thread is at a point now where I've covered pretty much any question you could think of asking, so please use the search feature to find your answer because I can almost guarantee it exists here already. If you've searched thoroughly and can't find the answer, or if you don't understand the answer, please go ahead and post here. Please provide the following information if you're going to ask a question:
-The model of your phone (at&t, Telstra, Rogers etc).
-Your bootloader details (the first five lines).
-Your current ROM/kernel.
-Your current recovery.
-All events that lead to your current situation.
-What you've tried already (detail please, don't say "I've tried everything").
-Anything else that's relevant.​
Please don't ask which ROM is best/most stable/fastest/prettiest/can eat the most hot dogs. No matter which way you word it, the question is not allowed. To say one ROM is better infers that others are inferior in some way. This is disrespectful to the devs who spend their spare time bringing us these ROMs free of charge. Each user has their own taste anyway so there is no best ROM. Check out the available ROMs and flash a few, you'll find out pretty quickly which one is best for you, plus that's half the fun anyway.
[SIZE=+1]FAQ[/SIZE]
For frequently asked questions please see the FAQ thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136172
There is a great deal of very useful information in this thread so I'd suggest having a read there before posting in here. If there's a question that hasn't been asked there, or if you don't quite understand one of the answers please feel free to ask here.

ok. I'll bite. Especially since I don't have to start a new thread!
A while back I flashed the Telstra OTA to get the 2.15 Hboot and see if it worked better than the AT&T 3.18 (2.14 Hboot.)
Probably not the best idea but I didn't know any better at the time. I forgot all about this since it was running fine even though I'm in the US and not Australia.
I see many AT&T folks on the 3.18 RUU with 2.14 Hboot and I wonder, does it matter? I also seem to be immune to some of the WIFI and Data problems I notice many folks have on the 4.3 and 4.4 Roms.

The one I should have been on with 3.18: 0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34
I'm guessing that the Telstra and AT&T radio workings are very similar. I see my settings from time to time and the bug to change it to what it is "supposed" to be kicks me. Should I RUU back to AT&T even though every thing appears to be functioning fine?

You needn't change your firmware if everything is working ok. The fact that a radio is labeled Telstra or at&t or Rogers doesn't really mean a great deal, they'll operate on all networks. I'm in Australia and I'm using the Telstra 2.40 radio but for a very long time I was using the at&t 3.18 radio with great results.

Thanks. That makes my OCD settle down a little now.

I'm not a noob, but will the Evita ever see Sense 5.5?

I don't think anyone here can really answer that definitively. There's been speculation that the upcoming at&t update might be Sense 5.5 or Android 4.3 or possibly both, but in the end it's just speculation.

Well I know the Evita could run it beautifully. Because the HTC One Mini just got the android 4.3 sense 5.5 update and the phone has almost the same specs as us except bigger camera and a newer processor.

Yes there's no question about whether our device can run it, it absolutely could. I guess the question is will HTC release it to us? Our phone can quite easily handle Zoe but HTC claimed it wasn't able to. Many people believe this was a ploy by HTC to get people to purchase their new flagship devices in order to experience Zoe, and I have to agree with this theory. So, what I want to know is will HTC use the same kind of strategy to deny us Sense 5.5?

I don't know why they would deny us, because there are still many and I mean many users that still run the Evita as there daily phone...

Yes you're right, there are still many people using this phone, but you're looking at this from a human point of view. Lets look at it from a business point of view for a moment. HTC are a business, the aim of a business is to make money/profit, HTC make money by selling new devices. Now, the more people that are happy with their current device means less people buying new devices. Less people buying new devices means less profit for HTC. See what I'm getting at here? If we are able to get more/better features on a new device than we can get on our current device we're more likely to buy a new device. This is obviously a better situation for HTC. When it boils down this is all HTC really care about, the bottom line, not us as people and our wants/needs.

Well even if we never receive sense 5.5 officially we are on xda and could potentially get it in the future..
But what confuses me is why would only At&t release sense 5.5 and not the other carriers
Sent from my One X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

At&t are traditionally late to the party and it comes to releasing updates. It's possible that Sense 5.5 just happens to be ready at the time that they're looking at releasing their update.
It's possible other carriers will release Sense 5.5 but most people think we were lucky to even get Sense 5, so another update might not be on the cards for us.
We always have the great devs here on XDA though.

Yes, if they release it. It's pretty much guaranteed there'll be some kind of update from at&t in Q1 of next year, we just don't know what yet.

Resetting back to stock RUU
Hello,
I am having trouble resetting back to stock RUU. When I enter recovery mode, the phone stays on the HTC logo. It does not advance.
I had TWRP installed but not it won't load... I'm not sure how to get back to square one. I've been reading alot on the forums and trying many things.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
J

Why are you trying to get into TWRP recovery? You don't need recovery for an RUU.

Then I'm confused on how to load an RUU. I thought you could place an RUU on the storage, them load up Recovery and it would auto load. I'm sure this has been covered before but I'm not sure where to look. XDA is enormous.
I tried pushing a custom ROM but I ended up doing it wrong and now my stock google apps are inoperable. I would like to be able to do a clean resintall of Android.
Thank you,

Ok, you are a bit confused, but we'll sort it out. An RUU is actually an exe file that you run in Windows while your phone is connected. Before we go any further though I need to see your bootloader details, the first five lines.

Reserved one last.

Good thread to help get all the questions and answers collected in a single thread.
My question is:
What are the specs of SD 835 in S8/S8+ vs Exynos 8895 (9 Series) in S8/S8+? Cores speed etc.

So I am considering the S8+...
~~~long story~~~
Note 4 locked me out cuz i somehow glitched out my samsung account, to the point where it was no longer on the phone. did a factory Reset to try and get the samsung account back, and now its asking for my samsung account, and it fails.. So basically Its asking for a ghost account. I am going to send it off to samsung to get it unlocked. but That gives me reason to get the S8+
~~~End~~~
Few things,
1. What do you think would be the best variant of the phone to get? (I am looking into changing carriers, currently on metro, thinking about tmobile.)
-I want to Root it, Should i just pre-order from Samsung and buy the international, or just get the Tmobile version? or maybe verizon idk. My note 4 never got a root because it was the AT&T variant, don't want to repeat.
2. Dex! Do you think we will be able to load up Linux? or Specific Virtual PC's with Corporate VPNS on them?
-This is was really is selling the phone for me, If I can load up a bunch of Virtual PC's on here, that'd be pretty bad ass.
3. If I decide to go with the Note 8 later this year, do you think the S8+ will retain its value on Swappa, that Way i can just sell and upgrade? (I use my stylus all the time, but Im thnking if I set up a sick Dex set up in my work van I won't really need the stylus.
4. How excited are you?

Any xda devs out there who have the exynos S8+ on order? Want to know who to bug for root and twrp access (err.. I mean who to send paypal donations too...):laugh: more than anything though, would be very apreciative if a dev could confirm after inspecting it if exynos S8+ is in fact bootloader locked.
Cant beleive how many drop tests and reviews on youtube not one addressing if exynos has a locked bootloader.

Hi i have a note 5 with some old versions off apps, am i better off just copy the apk or will loging in account let me download the old version on my new phone?

I gof the F variant...

Just some....
will the unlocked version of S8+ = exynos version? I was ordered one online, still waiting for it...
and, what time will we have root/magisk/3 party roms release?
thanks

Has anyone come across any micro sd cards they will be using in their s8's.

I have At&t unlimited data plan, but no tethering option.
Will rooting my device allow me to make it a mobile hotspot and if so, will I have unlimited data through that hot spot as well?

Telus Canada
Hey man when searching for the right version of roms / root. As telus user what version usually represents us?
Verizon, AT&T, T-mobile, US cellular, and how do I know if I have a locked boot loader.
Last and not lease, is the GALAXY S8 PLUS going to be rootable?
Hopefully there is gonna be a section on the forum for telus Canada.
Thanks.

Hows it bro?

I watched a few Youtube Videos today with diffrent comparison methods between s8/s8+ s7/s7e in some Benchmarks and AppStuff.
My Device (g935f @ Superstock Rom / superkernelwith Synapse Tweaks) is sometimes faster then S8. Special with Games the S8 is a little more better in speeds.
I cant see a big Reason why to buy me a new S8, when my actual S7e brings the same speed and function's. (Dont need Bixby or any ohter Voice App so..) The Camera is also the same with (too) little diffrences for my suggestion.
And i think the S8 cant get to 5-6hours SOT so far like an S7e. Ok 5-6 hours with Systemmods like Superstock, Synapse and Modkernel.. but i think with Stock Rom you get nearly 4-5hours SOT with normal usage.
So im interested of you guys..what do you think about it ? You think like me, stay with S7 and Upgrade with Note 8 or S9 next time ? Or you wanna buy the S8 right now or later with better prices ?
