[Q] how do jailbreak my htc evo - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do jailbreak an HTC Evo to get all the apps for free? Is it possible?

You can get apps for free without a jailbreak. And it's not called a jailbreak(that's just iPhones), it's called a root. I can help you get free apps, it's pretty simple if you want to learn.

you guys should keep it out of the open this cant be discussed on xda, its against the rules, so yea.

Support the developers. If you come across something you want, and it costs, PAY FOR IT.

Pay for them looser! You wouldnt want someone to come to our house and take all your stuff that you worked hard for. Enjoy being flamed just cuz you want to save 99ยข on a fart app or whatever

Jailbreak? Last time I checked this was an EVO forum... if you want to jailbreak something I recommend purchasing an iPhone. I hear if you put a case on them they can actually make calls too!

As others have said, the devs work work hard on their apps, so if you find one you like, pay for it. You may not be aware, but XDA isn't just a smartphone forum (like androidcentral, or ppcgeeks), its a developers forum, where app developers actually post to support their apps, and work with the community to work out beta versions, and resolve issues.

Blockbuster app for evo??

This is has probably been asked before but just in the chance it has not, i was watching the commercial for the moto droid X and they are advertising the blockbuster on demand app where you can just rent and watch movies right on your phone.. is there possibly and APK for this, or can it be ported to the evo?
Thanks

i wouldn't mind having this also
although i am assuming it will be like Skype mobile and locked to the carrier and phones rendering it unusable to other carriers/phones
Really would love...would be bad if it came down to that

awww man i hope one of the devs will be able to port this to the EVO somehow that would be awesome... there has to be someway to trick the app into thinking its on a Droid X and be able to use it!
I'd love to see this as well.
Blockbuster app = irrelevant. By 2011, Blockbuster will cease to exist meaning the app wont work anyway. I'm personally looking forward to the upcoming Netflix app.

New to the Android world

Hey guys i switched from a crApple iphone to the fabulous evo 4g and let me tell you i dont regret it at all. I got my evo the same day it came out, couple of days later i found out about xda developers, got it rooted and since then its been like a rollercoaster, my evo became more than just a smartphone to me.
Anyways, lets cut the chase what im tryin to say is that there should be a nice guide for people like me that had no idea what rooting means and of course all the terms within like adb shell, nandroid, nand unlock, recovery, etc. If someone out there has the time it'll be really helpful. I know google is out there but i think it would be really nice to have all this information compiled in one place and what other place better than xda.

Wrong section!!
im just kidding.. well, you certainly came to the right place.. really just reading around the forums is the best knowledge your gonna get.. what information are you wanting to know about in particular? i knew nothing about android till the day i received my evo, well speaking modification wise! my wife had a hero which i enjoyed but didnt want to get deep into it since i was using a windows mobile device at the time.. but its always good to hear of an iphone user switching over to android!
Lol! At this point i dont really need that much help compared to when i made the switch, because its like you said, you go from forum to forum, Im just makin a sugestion to make it easier to newcomers.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
in my opinion xda-developers is the best place to go for information because there is a mad number of members.. keep in mind if you ask a stupid question your gonna get an even stupider response.. you seem to know how the game is played so you shouldnt have a problem.. ppl dont like to spoon feed you here, but if you show that you need a little help here and there you shouldnt have a problem..
Got it, thx for the tip

[Q] is there any way to get paid marketplace apps and games for free ?

is there any way to get paid marketplace apps and games for free ?
could any hacker find any way for this ?
That's not going to happen.
Support the industry, like everyone else does.
Or if you can't afford apps, just find the free ones.

[OT][ACS]Other Forums - Learning to be Neighbors

So I've had the opportunity to browse a lot of other forums lately. They're really different and sometimes really the same. If you've ever watched that lame but great show Sliders, it can be something like that at times. I will update this list with characteristics in case you're looking for a fun place to look and contribute, since a lot of our knowledge is transferable.
Forums you should check out:
Droid 3: they're so damn close to rooting that thing. such a cool process to watch
Update: they have root
Droid Charge: Doppelganger world to ours, phone is at a similar stage of development even though it's relatively new
Fascinate: The VT of forums, lots of good vibes and they shame people into behaving
Galaxy Tab: Has two dev communities and both seem to be great. I plan to get one soon but I'm still learning. People seem friendly, though.
EVO: Decent community despite the sh*t we give them. It's like a city of forums and wandering into some of those threads makes ours look tame. Sometimes it's easier when everybody know your name.
Will update as I wander, think of me as Travelling Matt from Fraggle Rock.
I highly doubt that XDA would enjoy this thread. Let alone its off-topic.

I think he's referring to other XDA forums for those particular phones. I had some good reading on the V6 TurboCharger thread. A flame war between developers turned into a joint development breakthrough...entertaining stuff. I will check these out as well. You never know what you may find from doing some reading. TheRoot always finds the best themed apps for me.

You don't go to McDonald's for a Whopper. XDA makes money from ads, so they forbid referring people to other sites whether for info or downloads.
Ive been in the Nexus S forums lately because my gf finally let me root her phone (thank you so much for the video and links qbking) and I was literally in shock from how many choices there were.... I literally had no idea where to start even though I like to think of myself as an expert flasher/rooter.... I often forget that the Epic community isnt the only one on the Web lmao
Not that anyone cares but I think this is a great topic. Android is about sharing information, ideas and our work. We have to allow for other forums or even websites to exist. XDA is the only site that seems to struggle with this concept.
There are tons of other great websites out there and well as tons of other great forums right here at XDA. When I was actively developing on the Epic, I found very helpful information in many other forums. Some were other Galaxy S based forums but others were HTC or Motorola based sections.
I think this was a fantastic topic to get started and I completely agree with it. I just wanted to show some support and say hello.

[Q] spy apps/software??

I know similar questions have been asked before and information won't be easy to obtain from anyone regarding this but I know so many poeple have the knowledge to answer. I obviously don't want to use a subscription service but here is my dilemma.
Yes I am trying to spy, however I own both devices and pay for the entire bill just granting the phone for use as is to my current girlfriend, I'm not accusing her of cheating however she is hiding something and its all within the texts she deletes, those texts are transmitted to and from the device I allow her to use, just looking for any options I have aside from shelling out hundreds or thousands on something that can be easily accomplished, however if the information is sensitive I don't want it uploaded to the web, just more of a forward type of thing I suppose but definately hidden from her view, she isn't tech savvy, but our evos are both rooted and custom Rom etc. If anyone could help me with this, that would be super. App / software / source / service doesn't matter to me.
cool story bro, get a new girlfriend and leave the spying to the spy's. if you do not trust her, let her go.

To everyone that replied except for don. Your replies were 100% worthless, unless you are replying to someone with helpful information you shouldn't reply at all that just makes you look worse people asking dumb questions. And thanks to you don I will check that out. And if anyone else has anything useful but don't want to share it publicly feel free to message by email I look forward to hearing.
if somehow...
you could tap into carrier IQ! Sorry bro...had to! I would also use sms control...neat little tool.
If you have access to the gmail account that is used with the phone you could install Google Voice. I noticed the other day that it saves a copy of my texts even though I had flashed multiple Roms since.

Those replies were good.
First, you need to get help with your own problems of control and paranoia and forget about attempting illegal and immoral invasions of privacy.
Second, you should let that girl go. One day you might be healthy enough for an adult relationship, but not today.

Hit the nail on the head. If you know she is cheating get rid of her. Why would you want to put yourself through that BS only to get mad at her for something you already know. Once a cheat always a cheat. What are you going to do anyways after you confirm and confront?

Could he? He does own the phones and the contract is in his name. Should be able to do whatever he wants with the phone he's "lent" out, right?
A buddy of mine suspected his wife was cheating and she wouldn't admit to it. He decided to sift through her emails. He found she was, had proof, divorced her and is now happily married to a faithful woman. Just sayin.....had he not done that he would be far worse off. There's definately better ways to do it.....but every relationship and every person is different right?
That's weird, I thought he was asking for help with finding an app. Guess I missed the part where he asked for a bunch of relationship advice....
Hold on a sec, lemme put on my flame suit
