I like the change but is there any way to get the change reflected in the android app? when i browse the forums in there, they are still mixed in one development thread. Its even more beneficial to have the split there where browsing is harder.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
So, we're back to one section now? Or is it going to go back and forth for ever....
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Bobby Buggs:
Bad move, I could easily see the files that applied to my device, now they are lost in all the GSM stuff thats useless to me.:o
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] vzw:
Return please

just like to throw in my two cents I much prefer to have it split up it takes me forever now to find what I am looking for please put back to split it up for CMDA and GSM...Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
Are you guys on crack?

All you need to do is use your eyes and look for tags. You could even use search feature and search for "CDMA" and choose "Titles only" from the drop down menu.

Splitting the forums does more harm then good, its much better like this.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lphillips80:
Really don't like this.

I think we should keep it separate. Lets get this organized. Too cluttered. What else can I say.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lphillips80:
delete please
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
I much prefer them separated

Popped in to have a look at the latest updates (since I visited a few hours ago) and noticed a whole bunch of ROMs and kernels that I thought were new only to realise they are actually CDMA... Downloaded one and was just about to wipe when I noticed :p
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Tatdude806:
And vise versa! ALOT of noobs are going to be bricking devices because things are in different places... AGAIN! Sheesh...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
And how is the forums been re-merged going to make them "brick" their device??

n00bs shouldn't be messing with their devices until they have done enough reading, if they mess their devices up its their own fault and their own problem.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Tatdude806:
True this, but you also have people who DO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING, that can make an error and pull the wrong item. It does happen. Much easier to leave it the way it was... IN TWO FORUMS!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
You shouldn't be pushing your opinion as law and saying people with opposing views are on crack, but you are, just as newbs flash without reading.

With that logic, we just just put every single Samsung, no, wait, every single device on this forum in one section and just use tags. That'll teach the newbs and people that don't know every in and out of vBulletin.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] af974:
I saw a thread with many complaint about having 2 separated forums in Galaxy Tab then i proposed to our user Experience Svetius the merge, now i'm seeing many complaint here about the merge:

If developers put on Title for what kind of phone they are building for [CDMA] [GSM] (or Euro and TMo,verizon, or whatever) it is fair enough, if a newbie doesnt know what kind of rom grab in this mode, for sure he doesnt know even if the forum is splitted, and remember that 75% of newbie doesnt even read any sticky thread and, for what i know, those threads are plenty of usefull informations for newbie and expert users.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
Shall I forward all the PM's about 'bricked' devices to your inbox then?

I mean, really, name one other section that has both CDMA and GSM devices in the same sub forum.

And the fact of the matter was

It was one section

It was split

Now it's one section again.

What was the point in splitting it for a week if you (mods, etc) were just going to move it back. People were complaining about it before the split, after the split and again now. So, you (mods, etc) could have just cut out a lot of hastle and had us be unhappy with it in one forum instead of teasing us with two for a week.

The only reason people complained after the split was because of the honeycomb dev threads. Don't you think that CDMA dev for HC and GSM dev for HC should be separate, just like every other forum. Oh, then someone happend to post a CDMA ROM in a GSM thread. Last I checked, that was the moderators jobs to fix.

I mean, if that's not the mods jobs, what is? A title? Gimmie a break.

edit: Here is one for you to start with.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheDeadCPU:
I'm confused as to why these sections were merged.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] option94:
Svetius merged them again. People started complaining to him directly about it. No one seems to be happy this way, or the other way.

Im open to suggestions on how to make this work. We need to find a way to come to a compromise.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] svetius:
Sorry about the flip-flop. It gets a bit confusing when the development thread is split into GSM/CDMA. This was a bit of an experiment, and it proved to not be as beneficial as thought.

Please make use of [Tags] to easily let Galaxy Tab owners which device a thread refers to.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
Who proved that? Spacemonkey and his one thread? If it's more beneficial to have them in one section, you guys should do it across the board.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Pharaohnough:
Fully agree.

You could also put it to a vote and see what the majority of users really want (although judging by these couple of pages of replies it appears pretty clear)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
I was one of the people who pmd Svetius about re-merging since it did more harm then good, it may not have been obvious to some people but I/Others could tell it was going to cause issues, not just because of the Honeycomb topics but future non device specific ones aswell.

I think that the only way a CDMA/GSM split could work is if we had some sort of middle ground where non specific projects could be posted, like a "Development Misc" section. That way we could separate the devices but also have a section for non specific ones. If it was done that way I think the split would work well.

I will say though that I don't really mind the current setup as it doesn't take a genius to be able to read topic titles for your device tag.

GSM = GSM

CDMA = CDMA

No brainer!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheDeadCPU:
The fact that you had to make TWO WHOLE threads isn't as bad as people bricking their device -.-
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
Mods should merge all the Galaxy S, TP, Diamond,TP2 Hero OG Droid, & Desire (variants) to single forums with your newfound 'logic'.

That'll clean up the dev real nice.

[TAGS][WINNING]

everyone seems to be missing all of my points that require the mods to actually do their job...

ZOMG MAKING A LINK FOR THE HC AND FEW (zero others at this point) CROSS PLATFORM THREADS IS TOOOO HARD!!!!
[EVO 4G General] router54g:
I know this info is probably all over, but my searches come up with a lot of mixed results, and I tend not to trust software I download off a random Google hit.

Are there any straight-up stock Gingerbread ROMs for the Evo that work and are stable? (Broken 4G is alright, but I want all non-phone hardware to work.)
[EVO 4G General] ballindroid:
Savaged rom or omgb

Sent from my EVO 3D. Yes I work with Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
isnt CM7 pretty much stock ? i know they add ADW but its 99% stock
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
The closest thing you'll find is CyanogenMod 7. It works fairly well, has WiMAX, HDMI, GPS is spotty (there's workarounds for it), and has a crapton of customizations available.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I use CM7 + a flashable mod that takes out some CM apps like the file explorer and adds in the stock launcher. That's as close to stock 2.3 plus you get 4G and HDMI.
[EVO 4G General] wrapkgb:
Well if you want bare bones stock then OMFGB is the only stock 2.3 Tom I know of. It can be found here http://t3hh4xx0r.com/projects-2/projects/omfgb-4/nightly-builds

But if you should know that CM7 will have to most features that are currently working for the evo. All AOSP roms are not specifically written for the evo, therefore new code has to be written in order for it to properly work. That is why it takes some time for them to get all features implemented.

I say give CM7 a shot. Stock 2.3 with many extra tweaks and mods.
[EVO 4G General] router54g:
Alright.

Does anyone know if the Savaged-Zen kernel works with the OMGB ROM?
[EVO 4G General] DarkAudit:
Stock as in all AOSP stock? Or stock as in I just bought this phone from Sprint and it has Gingerbread out of the box stock?

CM7 is the closest you going to get to the first one. The second one doesn't exist. The only carrier with an official Gingerbread install is T-Mobile with the Nexus phones.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
kommydroid gb build is pure stock, with stock launcher, no 4g though, no special anything just stock as raw can get
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
No cm is not even close to stock... Salvage is the closest thing that is activley deved on xda.

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] dkn00b:
Well not all the X1s are same. So what one person experiences the other will have an opposite experience. No ROM has worked for me out of the box yet. It is always freezing. But I have fiddled around with using different kernels with different ROMs interchanging them and trying to see which would atleast give me a non freezing X1. Uptil now i have been successful twice.

1) X1 worked perfectly with the only problem with battery consumption.

2) Everything works perfectly but no wifi (which is all I need).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rencx:
I had HTC HD2 and I installed Android on it, but now I have HTC DHD and android is already build in and it runs grate.

Why install/flash custom ROM?

What are pros and coins?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DPxD3v:
To name some advantages;

Full control over the phone (root)

Remove bloatware (Default apps the come shipped with the phone / carrier applications)

Themes

Overclocking / Underclocking

Get updates before your region (2.3)

Many more advantages...

Only con i can think of is you have to revert anything if you were to send it in for repairs etc.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
Cons..... if you don't read and follow the directions correctly, you could brick your device.

Pros...... overclocking, backup/restore, better battery life, more customisation, access to more apps, faster updates to new android versions, debranding......
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diffler:
And seems like that isn't really the case anymore. Someone (mike19xx from the forums) sent in their DHD with custom rom for repair and got it back without any problems.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rencx:
Thanks for replays!

Please sugest me some good ROM. And where better save apps on SD or phone memory.

And also please recommend some apps for productivity.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
Non-sense, cyanogenmod7 all the way.

Sense, leedroid 2.2.2

Search the themes and apps threads for other stuff like add-ons.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DPxD3v:
Android Revolution HD 3.2 or 4 (If you want gingerbread)

Although im thinking about CM7 unsure yet :P
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Testuser_01:
It depends on your needs. On the rom threads (or even sites) you can usually find the features and you should consider yourself to think about if it's senseful for you. If you are just a "normal user" who probably doesn't need things like root access or overclocking and extra possibilities like ftp, ssh, vnc, etc. servers with full access it may not be so convincing for you. Usually you get a good speed improvement from several roms and as said newer version without branding. But also bugs you won't have in stock roms (but maybe other bugs from stock remain then ;) ) as developing such things is never "perfect".

An important fact could be that you can only backup anything properly with root access afaik. But this should also be possible with altered stock roms.

Generally you get yourself some freedom I would say. :)

For the roms: You should do some nandroid backups using clockwork recovery and then simply switch by backing up, installing/restoring and then compare what you like more.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Because I can :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcjunk1:

Hell yeah...because we can
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulus_01:
+1

Although, if you are very happy with how your phone behaves, you might want to think again if you really want to flash a custom rom.

Pros are as mentioned in above posts. Cons: you might brick your phone.

In any case, if you root / s-off your phone, you will have a device that is enabled for the future. If HTC decides not to update your device to the latest android version, you will be able to do so yourself if a dev has cooked it to be used with DHD.

You never know if HTC will be able to fix all exploits in future OTA updates(unlikely, but still).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyllojyr:
Android Revolution 3.2 or 4.X Beta

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allajunaki:
I believe the chances of bricking your phone is quite narrow.

I almost bricked my phone, by trying to install "FULL WIPE" via ROM Manager ( ROM manager boots into CWM and runs the ZIP and reboots it :eek:) .

For those who dont know, FULL WIPE zip will clear out all traces of ROM on your system. Essentially, I or rather ROM Manager rebooted my phone without having any ROM installed.

But thankfully a simple battery pull was all that was needed to fix it. I was able to get back to the CWM, from where I installed the new ROM, and everything was working as "desired" :p
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyb:
If you're happy with your current stockrom and don't mastrubate on quadrant scores to impress your co-workers or friends on birthday party......stay on stock, my 2 cents

mb
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
Haha, that's exaggerating it a bit mate!

Not everyone who uses custom ROMs are concerned with superficial benchmark scores! Most will agree they don't relate to real life performance.

The reason I use custom ROMs are thus:

1/ Increased stability

2/ Bug fixes

3/ Increased REAL LIFE performance

4/ Superior battery life

5/ Full customisation

6/ Added features

HTC makes some great phones, but XDA Developers make then way better :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyb:
true, but If I read some replies here on XDA it makes you think :eek:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Humm, have you even tried a custom rom?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyb:
yes tried ARHD (3.0, 3.1, 3.2), I went back to stock as there where all little issue's with it, that are not in stock.

I need a stable, trustworty platform, which you don't get by pressing the last juice out of the phone hardware. I think the devs do great work though, guess it is just not for all of us :D

Now I stop, cause this is NOT on topic anymore. Bottomline if you're happy with your phone the way it is from factory (topic starter), then there is no need to use a custom rom:cool:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
I use a near stock, deodexed rom. Only thing I have gained is root and the ability to add themes, such as the funky power control widgets. I have used other roms in the past but there are from time to time issues if the rom has been modified too much.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] veralynn:
Hey, i have original rom on my diamond and i have long time searched for an bluetooth handsfree that will be OK in my car, and so i bought myself an Pama Omega sunvisor handsfree and on my sony ericsson it works soo flawless but on my daily phone diamond it pairs up, but one of the two devixes is unwilling to transfer calls, is there some ROMS that is moe likely to fix this or can i install a software fix of some kind making them understand eachother..??

i have tomtom installed and the htc is working kinda OK so i really would stay away of killing all data and making me instal tomtom and everything again, BUT im willing if i can make the bluetooth work!! REALLY!!

i need my handsfree in my car so its worth some work!!

also ive spent quite some money on this handsfree so id like it to work!

MANY MANY MANY thanks!!! for all the help!
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
My battery is very inconsistent for example I had 85 I plugged it on charger then it dropped to 83% and it runs down even do it is on charger I also mistakenly flashed samsung captive rom could that be problem and my usb broke so I am using 3 party charger Wat is problem and its not rom this happened on 4 different roms I want to sell phone and I can't sell it like this
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] john.moon.3:
So I bought a samsung vibrant and am trying to do the one click lag fix thing to speed it up. I am following the instructions at this website.

(it wouldn't let me post the link) i will post it after 8 posts. Thanks.)

I got all the way down to step 15: select “OneClickLagFix V1+” in the one click lag fix app and that option is disabled. The phone displays a message in a blue box that says 'You already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5KB)

I have tried benchmarking my phone with the Quadrant app and it is no faster that before, a score of around 850. Is there a way of getting rid of this previous lag fix so I can run the one from the menu in the one click lag fix app? would a factory reset accomplish this? I am really tired of my vibrant being laggy and slow. Hope you can help thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blizzard1017:
Are you rooted? Scroll down if you haven't already, to the vibrant forums. I recently moved to sprint from tmobile and had a vibrant. Tons of good help there.

I would suggest root and the bionix touch wiz rom. Comes with voodoo, pretty close to the stock feel and you don't have to worry about that 10000 step lag fix process.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] john.moon.3:
I am rooted but when i tried to perform the lag fix it gave that error message. I think I did something wrong and now I need to start over fresh.

I am not super savvy when it comes to this type of thing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiltedthrower:
I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I've flashed a few ROMs, and I haven't been impressed with battery life yet. Some are obviously better than others but I have yet to see these day long battery life days even after calibrating battery and clearing battery stats and anything that's recommended.

I've started carrying a 2nd battery since I'm in the middle of coaching season and we take a good number of long trips in which I want to stream music or play games, etc while riding on the bus.

Can I get some opinions from those that have tried different ROMs on which gave you the absolute best battery life?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whiteguypl:
Def in the wrong place.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctahjeph:
Wrong place plus this question has been asked and answered to death. Try searching and you will find your answers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steph2:
I havent a clue what your talking about i get 2 to 3 days out of many ROMs with medium useage best i seem to get is from Dilli,s rom and GB v.4 kernel UV 100 across the board this one i get 2 to 3 days of use with no bugs a few other ROMs have few things that dont work that i need, this ROM covers my needs and is fast good on batt very good choice for me.

is possible If u haved 3 or 4 hours of srceen time and some major texting and calling, and few hours of music u may never get good batt life depends how u use your phone.

I dont do more then 5 or 6 texts a day 5 or 6 calls a day i do use music app and headphones with screen off for about 4 to 8 hours the more i use the less i get this combo i use drains slow when i get to 10% and under it seems to hang on for hours before it dies all the way.

If you short charge your batt all the time u will kill it in a matter of weeks, U could have a bad battery or 2

Cycleing a batt all the way to full and all the way dead atleast 1 time a week or more batt life will be better

If you short charge your batt all the time it will get batt memory and only use the part of the batt you charge and disscharge to so if your useing 50% of your batt the it will only charge 50% if u use close to 100% it will charge to that.

Is true of all batterys car batt phone batts and so on.

I will tell u this me and my kid had same phone about 5 years ago because she short charged her phone all the time it would never last more then 5 or 6 hours yet mine would last 4 days with out chargeing.

we traded batterys and ofc she uses phone more them me it only lasted 2 1/4 days on that charge. but proves what i am telling u.

she learned from then on take the time and charge your phone to full and discharge as close to dead as u can.

easiest fix is do like i do i charge use 2 days near end of 2nd day i play a long vid till it dies the charge over night. and repeat i can go longer then 2 days but figer it is easier to charge over nite.

I also turn off gps,autorotate,data,bluetooth,wifi,also set wifi to sleep when screen is off, i turn off search for networks, i use a batt widget set screen to dimmest setting. and all the other stuff to save battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleeman:
I agree with you and have found this to be particularly true of some of the newer ROMs, my guess would be bad Kernel/Modem pairings, best advice is to pick a ROM with a large number of users since the support will be better for those ROMs and continue to experiment with compatible Kernel/Modem combinations for that ROM until you find the optimum one for your device/location
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiltedthrower:
I searched and looked in the Q&A forum. I can't find more than 3-4 people agreeing that X ROM has the best battery life. Then a couple people will say "no, this ROM has better battery life." But for the most part unless I just missed a massive thread, the battery ROM question threads don't get a lot of answers.

I was mainly looking at if I got 100 people (throwing out a random number) to answer which ROM gave them the best battery life, I might start seeing certain ROMs which have better batter life than others without having to flash a bunch of different ROMs.
