Re: [TUTORIALS] EVERYTHING EVO - Rooting | NAND | Flashing Roms | for n00b's with vid

I appreciate the reply, and yeah "beyond my own lack of competence" is probably the issue here. I am usually pretty good at this kind of stuff, and read the steps, and watched the video. When something comes up like the "no update during skating androids part" happens and I searched every page of that xda thread... and no one seems to have the exact same thing. It's hard to blame myself entirely. You'd think if I was making a common noob mistake like not putting the phone back into debug mode after reboot or something like that I'd have one of the more common issues that I have seen people post.

I still have not seen anyone really say whether or not after rooting the phone if you'll still have access to the regular widgets that are on the phone. Like I have asked about before what would be optimal would be to just take the dock off the launcher pro app, and everything else be the default set up so I could still use the default widgets I lose access to when I use launcher pro like a regular user would. It just seems like when I started it was just an exercise to see if I could, and luckily before I got finished I had enough time to think of whether I should. Now that I am there I am going to take a little more time and see if there are any roms I really want to warrant this kind of undertaking. Since I don't currently have any roms DLed I wonder what would have happened had this completed.

After more reading about this, brainstorming and ect, I actually think I could get it to work if I reinstalled the original SD card that came with the EVO, so before too long I will probably be back in here or the "themes" forum trying to put together some kind of theme or what not.


TLDR: do the default widgets works after rooting the phone? and a bunch of blah blah blah
