Mac user in need of some tools - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, I have a fully rooted and unlocked evo, and I want to do some fine tuning. I need, among other things, a cracked cdma workshop for Mac, and a working rgb565 convertor for Mac. I assure you, I have searched hours for these, and would love any help.
Anything at all for Mac is welcome and helpful

ok, first of all, i didnt quite word that correctly. DOES A CDMA WORKSHOP FOR MAC EXIST? also, i dont think rgb565 convertors need to be cracked. is it at all possible to get one of those too?
lastly, is there any device manager thing on macs? i cant find one, but it might be hidden

What exactly does this mean? if you ment to say buy one, thats a very poor answer!!
There are tons of posts regarding the HTC Touch plug in if thats what your looking for, you will not get much help on here if you havent looked for it first.

of course i have looked for it first, also its not just Today plugin i want i want the theme also, I found the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311225
but i dnt know wat to do with them, one is a .tsk, what do i do with this and the other file is a zip, when uncompressed its just alot of files.
Secondly this link is for the HTC Wizard, if i recall i posted this in the HTC Hermes forum, and when you search this forum there are no links for HTC Touch skin.
I just thought it would be nice if it could come in a cab file, saving time, saving human error (guaranteed ppl will screw up their phones doing this as it is)!!!
It was just a question/request/idea!!!

I dont usually get involved with these type of issues, but there was a post about 4 down from your original one, regarding the plug in, stating in there that wizard cab worked on the hermes.
Maybe you should look into installing themes and cab files!

Help Please!!!

Can someone please tell me a good rom that will work on my ALLTEL CDMA TOUCH? Ive seen all kinds of roms on here but dont know which one will work if any. The main thing i want is WM 6.1 upgrade, and the main reason for that is the new internet explorer offered with it with the zoom capabilities and new media stuff. Can someone please list a couple even one really good rom in there opinion. Again its for the ALLTEL CDMA TOUCH.
I have the same question for the Verizon Touch. Although I am certainly willing to wait for the Rev A and GPS enabled ROM... I figured I would get some experience with these others first.
anyone... anyone?

dcd's rom is a good place to start. you will either have to implement the alltel customizations yourself or wait a few days until he gets the alltel version (and the others for that matter) back up, but its there, he made one

also, all the roms (that dont include radio's) will work for any carrier. the only things that might be added/missing/out of wack would be different proprietary media applications such as sprint tv or the ce os build may be slightly different. so basically it would be a littler nicer for you guys to wait for dcd to get his roms hosted somewhere again, but if you would like to try 6.1 in the mean-time, just download the kitchen, click buildnb.bat, select the components you want included in the rom, hit the little "play" button, wait, and flash away!
feel free to ask more questions and good luck!
jim
EDIT: and ppcgeeks.com has about 1000 custom roms, so i would really recommend looking there, there are some really great ones there.

also, this isnt for 6.1, but if you decided you are just going to wait for dcd to get an alltel version posted, you might do this in the meantime just to keep things running smoother and everything:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387328
could you post a link to the dcd roms you were talking about? ive probably passed them up but havent found them. By the way theres a rev a rom thats for alltel listed on the first page. It works for verizon from what ive read but ask a senior member first. its got some minor cool tweaks besides rev a too.
also maybe post a link to a good 1 without the "radio" like u said?
Thanks Jim,
You sure do put in time with noobs both here and ppcgeeks. I appreciate it.
none of these have radio's and you guys are more than welcome.

and i couldnt really tell you much concerning whether or not the rev a feature of the alltel rom would work for verizon...couldnt hurt to try it out? thats about all i can say regretfully...

You could just flash a stock HTC rom or flash one of the custom ROMs here. Either way, you will have a branded-free phone. Just check the threads and find a ROM that you like. Since you almost certainly have a GSM phone, don't flash a CDMA (Sprint) ROM as that will most likely brick your phone.
If you ask the XDA wiki these same questions, you will find your answers in details.
2 simple steps:
1: hardspl
2: flash a rom from the forum
...
3: rt*m
have a look here this helped me alot at first.

being difficult is all part of the jounery here
when you are going to flash you will lose all data on the internal memory you will find some free backup software on this site to use.
I have Vista and windows mobile center works well for me.
good luck

Use PPC PimBackup for SMS's, contacts etc.
For programs, think about using sashimi.
You can TRY Sprite Backup, but I wouldn't recommend it as a primary solution.
Last but not least, use the search feature.
Questions similar to yours have been answered A LOT of times previously.
Help yourself, and you will be helped. Don't expect us to spoon feed you.

Not necessarily true. A diamond is much easier to unlock (yellowsn0w isn't a true unlock anyways).

Please take time to read the Diamond wiki pages and search the forum, you're not the first noob on this site, and if everyone of them created thier own thread, what state would the forum be in
There are forum guidelines for a reason.
Thanks

Probally the biggest noob question, but help would be greatly appreciated!

I just got my T-mobile Dash and I read around this message board and see all the cool stuff you guys do. Im not completely stupid (at least in dont think lol) cause I flashed phones before, some which turned out good, and some ive bricked (lol)
Anyways what Im getting at is a i want a cool home screen like you guys got. I think you guys are using "Chome" if im not mistaken? Where can I get it? Is there a specific one I need to get? Do I need to flash my phone or is it just like a .cab file that I install on my phone? What stuff do you guys recommend I get to just get me started on making a cool home screen? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Again

All the 6.5roms have Chome. and they are very customizable. You will need to flash your phone if you want the full package. Check the sticky and make sure you do an application lock prior to flashing.. I personally recommend ookba's 3vo rom and edit everything with Roloracer's titanium filechanger. I also recommend you search this forum for the icon and background thread for some cool backgrounds for your phone. image size for backgrounds are 320x240
RE:
Hey I looked and searched around for the ookba 3vo rom and had no luck. Is It just a rom that flashes me to windows 6.5? Can the dash have windows 6.5 on it? are there any other things or steps I need to Do before flashing the phone? Do I need a program to flash the phone or is it just like a ROM you would download from T-mobile, hook up the phone with usb, an let the install do the rest? Please help. Thanks man.
Tim
you dont have to look very far, the rom is 3rd from the top of the list!

Very true. 3volution series rom's are the biggest thing since sliced bread here in the dash world. Let me answer a few questions for the thread starter.
Is It just a rom that flashes me to windows 6.5? Can the dash have windows 6.5 on it?
Click to expand...

It is the rom itself that will flash you to WM6.5 using the fore mentioned thread will directly link you to ookba's 3vo rom for the dash. Additionally check the Sticky out. (the very first post) it has a list of everything im linking you too.

You don't really need a "program" everything will come in the files downloaded from the 3vo rom thread. The one thing you will need to do is download and install an SDA application unlock found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355789
After that's done check out this thread on flashing for the Dash, its a little outdated but everything is the same. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415225
And most of all if you need help you can PM me at any time. It'll take me 30 mintues at most to respond unless i'm asleep. If you check my profile you can get my aim and i can walk you through online while you do it. and if you really wanna break it down I can give you my cell phone number and we can talk you through it like good old fashion tech support.

[Q] Anyone has a working fieldtest.apk?

Hi all,
in most HTC devices there is an application called FieldTest.apk, which can be launched via a combination of key (e.g. *#*#7262626#*#*).
I used it quite a lot in my Desire to understand what's going on in the radio interface.
It seems that this apk is missing in the HOX.
Has anyone managed to successfully use fieldtest.apk from other devices in the HOX?
Thanks
Can't remember what FieldTest looks like. Maybe it is something like this ?
You must have GSD.apk in your ROM, and the key is *#*#3424#*#*
Hi ckpv5.
Thank you for your answer.
Unfortunately that's not what I'm looking for.
Fieldtest tells a lot of information about radio layer, 2g/3g signaling, neighbor cells and powers, codes, spreading factors, rrc states, etc.
If you still have your Desire (i remember you from the desire section ), just give a try at the code I wrote in the op. You will see what I mean (although if I remember correctly fieldtest was also removed from the desire gingerbread release.)
When I get home I can post or link some screenshots.
Cheers,
It's very nice of you can still remember me ..
A screenshot will be nice... I want to know about this too.
Got it run on Desire, this is the one, right ? Not sure anything like this for One X.
*#*#4636#*#*
Not quite like fieldtest, but still gives you basic cell info.

Yes, exactly. That's the screen I was referring to.
Just realized that the same question arised in the AT&T version subforum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620087
Following a link there, there's an apk.
Not sure whether that would work though... Will check...
cheers
