You may remember seeing an article that we published yesterday on the EVO 3D's hboot downgrading. Well, XDA Recognized Developer Unknownforce, who has been extremely active in his own guide thread noticed a few things in his original guide, which lead to very few success stories on this front. In fact, other than maybe one or two people, no one was able to brick their devices to get them to the point of emmc mode (and yes, we do see the irony of a thread full of complains by people not being able to brick their devices). Yesterday night, he revised his guide and recorded a video of the step by step process that he used to achieve this amazing feat. The guide in its current state is much more complete, with more downloads and links to tools that you will likely need, such as links 1.13 RUU, emmc_recover, and much more.
The dev has also provided, as stated before, a video which shows the entire process step by step. While the video is a tad blurry, and the dev complains and acknowledges this in several parts of the almost 30 min video, it is very clear and to the point. One thing that it is not mentioned too much in the thread is the fact that you will need to return to stock AND relock your bootloader. In fact, you will have a hard time returning to stock if you don't relock the bootloader.
Please leave some feedback if you are successful with this method. Thanks Mr nerd for the screenshot!
IMPORTANT!!! This is NOT for the weak minded… this is fairly advanced stuff and you can damage your phone very badly if you mess it up because you must INTENTIONALLY brick your device during this process… that IS the SECOND step… So unless you really know what you're doing on a PC and linux… you might want to wait for someone to write a tool to do this stuff automatically…

Porting ROMs from one Android device to another is usually pretty exciting. It gives users a chance to sample the goods of another device without throwing down $500 USD in order to actually buy the device. Plus, it's always kind of cool to show your friends your phone running a completely different OEM skin or different version of an OEM skin. Bragging rights for the win, right?
XDA Senior Member the_plattypus has given flashaholics carrying the HTC EVO 3D something a little different to play with. It's a mash up of a HTC View 4g ROM along with pieces of the EVO 3D ROM thrown in to help make things work. It's a premise the_plattypus has used before with great results.
The ROM is pretty nice and the issues with it aren't a big deal. Users are reporting that installation hangs on TWRP Recovery 2.0, although users of 1.1.1 can flash it with no problem. Additionally, there are some png re-sizing issues that make some things look a tad off and some widgets still force close. Otherwise, the ROM is reported as being beautiful and quick. The features include:
-Fully working landscape
-Landscape Sense 3.0 Lockscreen with weather
-Stock and themed versions
-Updated OTA kernel
-Working camera (2d/3d)
-Hacked Wifi-Hotspot
-Added apps, removed unwanted bloat
-New Visual Voicemail
-Tons of others!!!
It's been noted that some EVO 3D features, like the 3D camera and 4G data, are very tough to get working to ports like this so users should expect a world class experience when flashing, even if it is a first release and has a few bugs.
You can head over to the ROM thread for download links, screenshots, additional details, and discussion.

Earlier this week, the Sensation became immortal thanks to the work of XDA member dexter93. Basically, he found a way to make the device recognizable via an emmc tool while in bricked state, which allowed flashing any image to the device. Well, guess what? Thanks to the efforts of XDA Forum Member Unknownforce and several others, a similar method was ported over to the EVO 3D where they had been frantically trying to find a way to bypass the infamous HBOOT 1.5 S-ON security.
A little background on this or those of you new to the EVO 3D scene. Way back when, sometime last year the EVO 3D was deemed as one of the toughest nuts to crack in terms of being able to turn the device security from S-ON to S-OFF, which essentially allows you to flash unsigned code and radios onto your device. Our friends at Revolutionary released a method to easily turn off this security. However, HTC quickly released a patch and updated HBOOT to a newer version (1.5), plugging the exploit used by Revolutionary. At the same time, HTC released their official unlocker, which would basically unlock your phone, allowing you to write to the device, but leaving S-ON and upgrading to HBOOT 1.5 in the process, effectively locking the "freed" 3D and preventing it from flashing radios or even boot.img from recovery (work around was found by first flashing the boot.img via fastboot, but this was tedious and cumbersome).
Ok, so now that we have some background on this, lets see what we need to get this device freed from its shackles. First of all, you will need a Linux box (installed as dualboot or native, your choice really), you will also need a few tools available in the thread, a few images like the 2.08 or the 2.17 updates from HTC, the 1.13 update, which has a lower HBOOT revision, some coffee, patience, and wipes as you will likely get sweaty hands from this. Once you have all the required files, go ahead and brick your device…. uhmm, what? I know what you are thinking, this guy must be losing his mind, right? As it turns out, the computer will not recognize the phone as being in emmc mode unless it is bricked, so there is 100% risk of bricking your device by following this method, because… well, it is a requirement.
These are exciting news indeed as the method seems to be valid across devices. Now, keep in mind that this guide (the one on this article) is ONLY for the CDMA version of the EVO 3D. The GSM version has its HBOOT located elsewhere in memory and it will not work as it is. The tool does not have the paths hardcoded on it, but right now it is not ready to be used on other devices just yet. So sit tight.
Needless to say, please tread carefully as this WILL brick your device. Leave some feedback in the thread if you are successful.
Hey… Guess what…
You can find the entire guide here and you can go here if you are interested in reading about how the hack came to be.

The billion dollar question right now in the Android world is whether or not your device will receive Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. As they so humorously put it:
Few innovations have improved upon ice cream as much putting it between two cookies and making a sandwich. Which is why we all want Ice Cream Sandwich! Ok, that's not the real reason, but we're all excited about Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, coming to HTC.
While there is constant speculation as to which devices will be added to the ICS list, not very many firm answers are to be found. Luckily, HTC has just released a public statement as to which devices are slated to receive Google's latest tasty treat.
Timing is the next important question. HTC has spoken up on this issue as well, stating that the updates for the Sensation and Sensation XE would begin in the coming weeks, with the Sensation 4G andSensation following thereafter. However, the schedule still remains unclear for the other devices slated to receive the OS update.
As for timing, we're in the early stages of rolling out Android 4.0 for the HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE and upgrades will be more widely available in the next few weeks. The update for the HTC Sensation 4G and HTC Sensation XL will follow. Please note, once we start pushing out updates it will take time for all carriers in each country to get the update. We are working closely with our carrier partners to nail down update schedules for our other smartphones and will have more to share very soon.
While many of us are still irked at the fact that HTC's first generation Snapdragon devices such as the original HTC Incredible and the legendary Evo 4G are not on the update list, their omission is understandable given that not even the HTC-built Google Nexus One is receiving ICS in official capacity. However, the fact that these devices will be receiving Sense 3.6 rather than Sense 4 is a bit of a bigger blow. However, you can bet that our developer community will have that covered, as they have already begun to do so.

The HTC Sensation and HTC Evo 3D were recently treated to an eagerly anticipated Sense 4.0 port by Virtuous development team. These ports were based on the leaked HTC Endeavor RUU, meaning a lot of widgets and apps had to be resized, due to the difference in screen resolution between the two devices and the HTC Endeavor (now known as the HTC One X).
Today, on behalf of the Virtuous development team, Recognized Developer mdeejay brings us the first custom ROM for these two devices, based on the freshly leaked HTC One S Developer Preview RUU. Given the HTC Sensation/Evo 3D and HTC One S share the same screen resolution (540×960), no resizing of widgets or apps is required, meaning greater overall compatibility between the devices.
The ROM is currently in Alpha stages, so don't expect everything to work out of the box. A list of known issues is provided, such as non working camera, Bluetooth, mass storage and animations. But the developer states that fixes will soon appear. To get your hands on this fresh port, head on over to the HTC Sensation and HTC Evo3D GSM threads.

It looks like it has been a week filled with updates for everyone. Some official and some, well, not so official. HTC seems to be dead last in terms of updating devices officially to ICS, and we believe that the main culprit of all this is none other than Sense 4.0—the newest iteration of HTC's unique UI.
Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen news regarding leaks for several RUU's, the most notable one being the one for the upcoming beast known as the HTC Endeavor. Thanks to our friend, XDA Recognized Developer TMartin, we now have the first ever Sense 4.0 ICS ROM for the EVO 3D CDMA.
The ROM itself is, according to the dev, in early pre-alpha state. This means that this is suitable for a test device that you may have somewhere in your drawer, but certainly not for a daily driver. Having said that, the ROM has quite a few working features for something in such an early stage. For instance, it boots, SD card works well, sound works well, and it seems to be quite snappy in terms of performance. However, don't expect to have mobile data or even be able to make calls just yet. This is only for testing purposes as you will not be able to do much with it.
If you do happen to flash it, make sure that you leave some feedback in the original thread. Big thumbs up to Virtuous Team for their work on the EVO 3D GSM and Sensation as well!
What to expect:
- It Boots!!!!
- First boot takes a little while…especially after you first unlock to get to setup
- Android 4.0.3
- Sense 4.0
- Working sound
- SD Card works

The HTC Sensation and EVO 3D have seen many Ice Cream Sandwich builds come and go in their respective development sections. However, the ICS development work to date for the devices have either been based on Sense 3 or derived from the Android Open Source Project.
On behalf of the Virtuous development team, XDA Recognized Developer m-deejay brings us the first custom Sense 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich custom ROM for these similar devices. The custom ROM is based on the leaked HTC Endeavour RUU 0.96.401.2, and has been debloated and optimized for performance. However, being in beta status, not everything may be working perfectly just yet.
In the words of the developer:
This series is for ROM's that are not feature complete, are test builds that may or may not receive any future updates. We generally would not recommend these builds for people that rely on there phone 100% of the time, they may, assuming you can live with bugs or missing features be suitable for daily use.
To get your fill, head over to the HTC Sensation and EVO 3D GSM threads.

For many of us, having notifications on the top bar is an ultimate necessity for today's Android. You can learn about things that go on in the background that may be automated such as Market updates to some apps, and other useful things such as getting notifications about e-mails, text, messages, missed calls, etc. However, there comes a point during your day where having 10 small icons on your top bar can become a bit of an eyesore. Among these notifications, you may have a few that you may want to keep handy as you intend attending to them at a later time but don't want to go through each and every app to get rid of these notifications.
If this sounds like your case, then you will be happy to see what XDA member gruesomewolf has in stock for you. Slide to Clear will allow you to get rid of individual notifications in a flash by simply holding them and sliding them to the side of your screen. Something worth noting is that the mod itself is not compatible or included with other Tweak sets such as Leedroid (a compatible version can be found in the second post).
Installation is simple, just flash the provided zip through Recovery. However, if you have doubts or feedback, please let the dev know.
This mod will add Slide to Clear Notifications to your status bar. Anyone who has ran CM knows what Im talking about, for those that dont I have a little video.

UPDATE: HTC Dumlock has now been updated to work seamlessly with any aftermarket recovery. Full details can be found directly on the TeamWin website.
When we first learned that HTC would be unlocking the bootloaders of its devices, enthusiasts everywhere relished the idea of complete device freedom. Later, HTC started to make true on its promise by unlocking its Verizon and AT&T bootloaders.
Unfortunately, though, all was not perfect with HTC's unlock tool. Unlocking an HTC Sensation or EVO 3D using the official method results in being unable to flash to the boot partition via recovery. Instead, the more cumbersome fastboot protocol must be used.
Now thanks to XDA Recognized Developer Dees_Troy of TeamWin, we have a solution. The aptly titled HTC Dumlock allows users owners to use flash complete ROMs like normal—boot partition, included. In the words of the developer:
HTC Dumlock is a workaround for devices with HTC's unlock that cannot flash boot from recovery. Put simply, we make backups of recovery and boot, then we flash the backup of recovery to boot. When you reboot normally, you'll be in your recovery, but since your recovery is flashed to boot, you can make changes to boot. We've added some extra features to TWRP 2 to allow you to easily restore the backup of boot once you've booted your recovery with this method.
HTC Dumlock essentially runs 3 commands to work its magic. The commands would be similar to this:
dump_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
dump_image boot /sdcard/boot.img
flash_image boot /sdcard/recovery.img
Once you get back into recovery, the restore original boot looks kind of like this:
flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img
To get in on the action or take a peek at their source code, please visit the HTC Sensation, Evo 3D GSM, and Evo 3D CDMA threads.

With htcdev.com recently "unlocking" phones for it's users, it's not only been a real challenge trying to find a way to completely unlock the bootloader, but it shows that HTC will likely continue to release phones with bootloaders locked down, depending on the sub par unlocking tool on their website to keep flashers and developers happy.
Of course, that's not going to stop anyone from trying to get around it. This is the case with XDA Senior Member Flashmaniac, who has developed a tool that will guide users with unbranded HTC EVO 3D devices with certain CIDs through the process of downgrading their hboot versions so that they can enjoy the freedom of full root.
The tool has limitations. As mentioned, only certain EVO 3D phones can even use it. The full list of supported EVO 3Ds include:
cidnum: HTC__001
cidnum: HTC__032
cidnum: HTC__A07
cidnum: HTC__102
cidnum: HTC__304
cidnum: HTC__203
cidnum: HTC__E11
cidnum: HTC__N34
cidnum: HTC__405
cidnum: HTC__Y13
cidnum: HTC__016
cidnum: HTC__J15
So if you check your CID and you don't have one of those, this tool will not work for you. Additionally, there is a little bug where the installation bar won't finish. However, this is nothing to be alarmed about. Simply remove battery, reboot and profit.
For those carrying unbranded EVO 3Ds who want to give this a try, you can find a step by step tutorial, download links and more in the original thread.

Since HP announced the release of the webOS source code, the recently abandoned operating system has grown a rather loyal following. Progress has been made in homebrew development and in custom builds for webOS native devices. Many forum members have been clamoring for a port of webOS to Android devices for several months now. Initial ports were expected to appear for the Motorola Droid or its GSM counterpart, the Milestone, since the devices share the same OMAP3 3430 processor with the Palm Pre (the very first native webOS device).
Recently an HTC EVO 3D was spotted running a build of webOS 3.0, the version that came with the notorious HP TouchPad. Originally posted by Ryan Hope (@_puffthemagic_) on Twitter, the 3 still images of webOS running have now been supplemented with a YouTube video that can be found here. While not functional enough for actual use, the operating system boots without issue. Ryan originally started work on the port before HP released the source code for webOS. With the release of both the Android kernel and the full webOS source porting progress can only move forward from here. Could this mean widespread availability of webOS ports on Android devices soon? Depending on interest level and developer involvement, it is a possibility!
If webOS is of interest to you don't forget to check out our webOS forum section here. Want to get involved? Developers and *nix experts, check out the webOS Software and Hacking section here!

Finding ways to wake a phone besides the old power button can be a challenge for some phones. For those who still have phones with the Blackberry style navigation ball or the front touch pad, such as the HTC G2, there are mods out there that will give you the ability to unlock your phone using those. So what about phones without any physical front buttons?
This is a problem that XDA Senior Member bponury is working to fix for at least those carrying the HTC EVO 3D. bponury has created a kernel module that will allow screen unlocking capabilities on the EVO 3D using screen swipe gestures instead of the traditional power button. The app developer has also added the functionality to lock the screen the same way, using screen gestures.
To add to the convenience, you can find the mod in the Android Market here, which makes installation a breeze. Just grab your HTC EVO 3D, make sure it's rooted and then go to the link and install. It's just that easy. Additionally, there's even a how to video in the description that shows you how to make the screen turn on and off using the mod.
For those who want to give it a shot, simply follow the Market link above with your rooted EVO 3D and give it a test run.

Running computer operating systems on a phone is always an interesting experience. For most phones, booting into Linux is hard enough and Windows isn't even an option. The HTC EVO 3D is not one of those phones.
XDA Senior Member mnomaanw has posted a method that will get Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP and Linux running on the HTC EVO 3D in a relatively easy process that can be done pretty quickly. Basically, all a user needs to do is download the required software, modify a file or two and run the apk. Wait for it to boot and you're ready to go.
Controls are pretty easy to understand and make excellent use of the hardware as well as the home and menu buttons. The instructions are as follows:
- It emulate touchpad on touchscreen and left/right mouse buttons on volume
– You can also click touch screen to generate mouse left button click.(this does not work everytime)
– Back = BackSpace, Menu = Enter, left-upper corner click generates TAB
– left-lower corner click popups keyboard
For those who want to give their EVO 3D some Windows or Linux love, they can find all the downloads and instructions in the thread here but make sure to take the proper precautions, such as backing up your device.

Mugshot Monday - "Karl ollie on skateboard" coffee mug with Birchwood Blend by Peace Coffee
My friend Stephan sent me this coffee mug. It's a photo of me when he and I would go skateboarding in Eau Claire, Wisconsin back in the old days (big photo here). NOTE: I've added "Former Athlete" to my bio.
How cool is that? He just grabbed a pic from my tumblr and made a coffee mug and sent it to me? I think I need to do this, too. This, "Random Act of Coffee Mugging". So awesome.
By the way, you should read Stephan's story — I guarantee you will cry because the dude is so freaking inspiring. Read it here. Stephan is now a DAD with twins! So good.

The birthday was a good respite from the most idiotic drama taking place online that everyone keeps emailing me about.
Yes folks, I am aware that the gals of Free Jinger have been talking about how they outed Ruth of Razing Ruth as a lying liar and scammer.
Yes, people have requested we remove Ruth from the lists of writers at No Longer Quivering.
Removing Razing Ruth's writings from NLQ
Here's the deal. We're not taking down Ruth's writings. For a couple of good reasons.
1. I haven't seen any compelling evidence either way to indicate Ruth is or isn't who she says she is. Vyckie has talked to Ruth on the phone more than once and is satisfied Ruth is who she says she is. We're not going to 'dig' as we both have better things to do.
2. Ruth's series was a good one that others were helped by so it really doesn't matter who Ruth really is. Not my business and it really shouldn't be anyone elses.
I got one email with links to all the supposedly evidence against Ruth posted at Free Jinger from someone claiming to be involved in the administration of Free Jinger but wouldn't give a name. When I started reading through the threads they were only unlocked for a short time and locked up again before I saw anything that could really be construed as true evidence of a fake identity or sock puppet. Now I wonder if that person that emailed the links was merely fishing for my IP addy or Vyckie's in some attempt to prove or disprove one of us was Ruth.
Addressing the rumors
No, Vyckie is not Razing Ruth regardless of what fetid fantasy world some of the Free Jinger people live in.
No, Vyckie is not someone else or a sock puppet connected to Razing Ruth.
No, Vyckie did not give out Razing Ruth's real name, address or contact information. Nor is she a backstabber, child-abuser or drama queen.
No, Vyckie did not ask Princess Jo to start a thread at FJ asking if Ruth was fake.
I was around at that time and remember full well when this crap about Ruth started the first time.
We at NLQ refuse to be drug into this silly self-made drama that does not concern us.
I do have a short message for the ladies at Free Jinger
GET A LIFE!!!!Serious here now. Do any of the people at Free Jinger has real life interests beyond running people down and inventing drama? Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events and small minds discuss people.
Edited to add this from Vyckie. Just got off the phone with her from discussing this bullshit. She asked me to post her comments on the whole silly Razing Ruth and Free Jinger fiasco.
We've received an email from "Curious" - the owner of Free Jinger - informing Calulu and me that FJ admin is fairly sure that Razing Ruth is fake. They think we should remove her story from NLQ.Vyckie's daughter has moved on and should be left alone. It's stressful on the family and hurtful when strangers try to get between a mother and daughter. This is going to be the last time either of us mention or address Free Jinger. For us this ends here tonight and there will be no carry over to the NLQ allowed.
I honestly don't really have time to read through the ENDLESS threads and links which purportedly prove Ruth is a scammer.
Plus - FJ is a PIT of malicious bullies with no lives other than to obsess over QFers and former QFers - harassing fundies is a form of entertainment for them. I've had dealings with FJ in the past which resulted in them influencing my daughter to disown me. This occurred several years ago and we have since reconciled, no thanks to the snarkers who somehow thought our personal family difficulties were their business.
Still, the drama from that episode with FJ nearly caused me to take down NLQ - I did remove "Vyckie's Story" from the Internet, and turned over most NLQ responsibilities to Calulu, we shut down what had been a thriving forum - all to shield ourselves and our fellow spiritual abuse survivors from FJians' stalker-like obsession with prying into the private family lives of those of us who dare share a part of our stories because we care about exposing dangerous doctrines.
Anyway -my computer isn't working, and I'm getting ready for another trip to the Children's hospital in Minneapolis - and I really have no desire to get involved with this latest RR drama. I have spoken with Ruth a couple times on the phone as well as interacted with her via chat and email, and I was satisfied as to her legitimacy. I don't believe she's fake. I haven't, and probably won't, looked at the latest "evidence."
I truthfully hate the FJ forum, and I'm sure they feel the same way about me. FJ can kiss my ass. We're not taking down Ruth's story at NLQ.
She has one final message to the Free Jinger people stirring the pot -
