Being afraid in starting is normal .... but the golden rule is to read and understand several times what procedure u have to follow...and second imp thing is read n follow instructions provided in specific post.

As different rom needs different technique and different procedure.

Another thing is search youtube for videos on how to's.

Here is a link to custom rom MIUI 2.3.3. (I am not telling u to install it on ur device this is just for reference n learning purpose). It has all the instructions and also a video on how to install the rom. I would suggest just read the whole thing and try to understand what is involved in the process.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=992251

Once you done with it then find another thread of custom rom and read through it.

And even read the comments on different pages it is very useful and most of the questions are also.answered. Thats how i learned .

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thresherhorn:
Tried forum/google search to no avail.

Been an avid Suckerpunch/Onix kernel fan. Usually always remember to delete the boot Voltage settings before a flash but got hasty this time. Didn't see anything negative post flash but wondering what exactly would go wrong with forgetting.

To possibly remedy, I deleted the settings both in the app and in onix recovery and reflashed the kernel.

Just thought id ask as I haven't come across an answer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twicebak3d:
Im pretty sure that as long as you can boot, you're fine. Also, you're keeping the same kernel. I usually don't have problems just flashing a rom then flashing onix over it. Just don't forget to do it if you have an absurd OC/UC/UV going on.

You should be fine lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
Onix has a failsafe that it will only boot at 1ghz so you would still be able to boot and clear the settings if they didn't work.

Also as you mentioned, you can just erase them from recovery now as well.

You only have to clear the settings now If existz says so in the release, as he sometimes adds and removes states.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CuriousTech:
The files in init.d are executed at boot time, so once you delete the file and reboot it will be at internal defaults. No need to reflash anything.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thresherhorn:
Awesome responses, thanks for the info all.

As a side note, I swore existz first post used to say something along the lines of "always delete your voltage boot settings when flashing" and now it seems it reads "always delete your voltage boot settings if coming from a different OC/UV kernel"

I either missed when he changed that, or it's always been like that and I hadn't caught it til now... in any case, Appreciate the knowledge. I learn something new everyday :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tyranox:
Hello all,

I drive a Mercedes E200 for work, and it has a bluetooth handsfree device build-in.

When i'm receiving calls the device works perfectly...the only problem i have is that when i have to wait a while (ie. when i'm too early for a client) i enjoy watching some movie or tv-shows on my HTC Touch Diamond 2 using Coreplayer.

My problem here is that when i do this, the sound is still played through the phones speaker instead of the cars...is there anyway to solve this?

I hope anyone can help me...

Greetings,

[Droid 2 Global Android Development] leobg:
He did. TurboSIM is far from good solution apparently
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] hgrimberg:
Is this for real? Is this what Verizon is doing? So next OTA update can lock my phone back? So, should I install Fission or any other rom which will prevent the phone from automatically install new OTA updates?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] leobg:
You didn't get it right. Once unlocked with code your phone won't relock again ever.

Unlocking the us gsm carrier support (the TBH hack) is different story. It involves modified baseband firmware and will certainly relock if you flash official one that has the carrier ban implemented.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] hgrimberg:
So, did you change your ROM to Fission or Liberty or are you personally still on the stock ROM? By changing to Fission or Liberty you get the US gsm unlock?

Thank you.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Canio Wolf:
I've heard that about the Liberty and Fission ROMs but has anyone on a US GSM carrier confirmed it working??

Hello,

Please help!

I own a herotab M10 and I did a reflash with the 9.7.rar which flashed ok and the device booted ok.

When I tried the MG106C flash (whith out giving it much thought and after playing with the system with 9.7.rar as root) it started flashing and halted for about an hour. I reseted the device

and know when i press the power button, the light doesn't even go green

. What can I do? I can understand the disability of booting the system but disability of powering up? what dowes it mean?

Thanks in advance!!

I am trying to radio stations that are broadcast over the INTERNET but my hd2 will not play them. I have downloaded so many flash apps but none have worked. I cant see you tube either. Has anyone done this?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
If you are using a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM flash is not compatible with the Windows Mobile OS. You will have to either run a 2.2 Froyo or better Android build from SD card or flash A NAND Android 2.2 Froyo or better ROM to you HD2 to be able to use Flash.

Go check OPENweb Radio out for listening to live radio broadcast over the internet.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
There is a utube player in the NRG ROM.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
If you are talking about the Youtube app or the streaming media player there is one of both of those in the stock ROMs. If you are talking about a streaming media player in the web browser the internet explore in all Windows MObile ROMs have what is called Flash player light which is a very simple version of the flash player and only works on sites like youtube that are used for nothing but streaming media. But Youtube is almost the last sight to support flash player light as the flash player has upgraded a lot since the light version came out and Andriod supports full flash now so most sites are dropping or have dropped support for flash player light.
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
Recently, a friend of mine picked up a white Evo, and, while it looked cool from the back, the front is the same phone:

What's the deal with the two tone? Is it difficult to make the front white, too? And it's not only HTC that's guilty of this:

What is with the two tone? Is there actually some technical reason they can't use white on the front? I wouldn't mind a white phone at all if it weren't for this.
[EVO 4G General] |Jason8|:
Eh. People just want different colors. The funny part is that these are the same people who will buy ****ty silicone cases and cover up their white back, so you can't even tell what color the stupid pos is.

Bottom line: People like options.
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
I don't mind different colors at all, I just don't like the two-tone look. I'm wondering why there isn't an option for a completely white phone.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Exactly what I thought when I first saw the white one.
[EVO 4G General] midhun:
I also want the answer to this. I think its mainly regarding money saving during production.
[EVO 4G General] BonkyMoon:
As I understand it, the white evo was originally a Best Buy exclusive. So, ultimately it was probably them who saw the two-tone and were like "well, I guess that's good enough. sold!"

As for why it's just the back and not the whole thing, I'd bet it's cost. This way they can keep all the expensive parts the same (including the screen bezel) and just repaint the back half of the phone. That part is just plastic, there's nothing really fancy like a screen attached to it.

I have one of the "two-tone" evos and actually like the look. Only thing I wish is that still had the rubberized coating on it like the black ones have.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
F***ing. Hideous.
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks so.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Not a matter of being difficult, but a matter of cost. Perhaps the pieces that are indeed different in color is sufficiently cheaper for manufactures to see it worthwhile to invest in.
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
It's interesting that they don't make a fully white one and just charge more for it, though, since people would most likely pay for it.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
i have a white evo... i like to be different from the croud.. I also have a case for protection.

case for potection.

some of the white shows through... and looks good.

but if I want .. i do take it off. and it looks nice with the white.

why not the a white front?

1. it could be cost savings.

2. it might also be for the ladies and men that use makeup... it would make white face phone look dirty.
[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
The screen would have to be "black" when off anyways, so I think it looks better to have the screen surround black (including the softkeys).

And to change the front bezel to white they would've had to make the power and volume buttons white, too. All comes down to money spent versus money made selling options.
[EVO 4G General] diomark:
White on the front bezel is annoying for viewing. (contrast vs. the screen, especially when viewing movies/etc)

-m
[EVO 4G General] androidsupra:
I have to say, I kinda like the feel of the white evo. My wife has one and it is completely smooth on the back. Unlike my older black evo that has a textured feel to it.
[EVO 4G General] spyke24:
I have the white Evo, the reason for it was it's a best buy exclusive. Nothing about the phone is different from the black one. It's just different, and i don't use a case to cover it up. However, i wish i got the black one because of what it's made out of the white is smooth and i got cracks from taking the cover off already
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
It doesn't make much sense, I mean...they've had all white phones before.

But then again, I don't understand the concept of white on anything of this nature.

Whether it be a white phone or a white car etc.

It just gets too dirty and marked up and looks like **** over time.
[EVO 4G General] mrufino1:
Not a fan of the white, but my wife and I got our evos at the same time and she got white so we could tell the phones apart.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Good idea.

Don't want her to mistake yours for hers and see them pics of your secretary ;)
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
I think you might have hit the nail on the head for a main reason.
[EVO 4G General] xdaboy4:
radio shack

I got my white Evo at radio shack during the $99 dollar special. It was the last one in the store. They actually apologized for not having black. I didn't mind.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bcave:
Hi Everyone,

I own a HTC Magic 32B (Sapphire) and flashed it several times with different ROMS during the last months with no problem.

2 days ago, I decided to downgrade it to 1.6 Donut since I can't even write a sms properly with higher versions (Cyanogen, Vodafond OTA included)

I started wiping and tried to flash the rom but I faced radio and/or hhoot version issues and there began the nigthmare :(

At the moment, I've nothing loaded on my internal storage, only a sappimg.nbh on the sdcard. I finally succeed to install alternative drivers on my computer to make fastboot working and tried to flash dozens of different nbh/zip/img (radios, spl, hboot, recovery) without success!

So now, i have a soft/hard bricked phone with no idea on how to fix it.

Several infos to help you understand my case:

- Home + Power gives nothing, just the G1 logo

- Power + Volume Down let the phone detect the nbh file stored on the sdcard but when i start the update, it freezes at the first step (radio_v2) but no issue with signature checking

- Power + Menu gives access to the fastboot menu. From my computer, no way to flash any kind of file (signature checking fails everytime)

Below are the information provided by the "Android Skateboarding screen"

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G (i tried to switch security to off => no way)

HBOOT-1.33.0013d (SAPP10000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-1.22.12.29

I was only able to reformat it to the correct size by formatting it from the Nook setting menu. It wouldn't work for me on the PC, it would just wipe it.
[Nook Color General] danbutter:
The size is never changed, but when you flash images to it the card is partitioned.

Windows can't see all of these partitions so it looks smaller.

It can be restored on the pc you just have to know how.

You can use the Partition Wizard Mini Tool which is free here at partitionwizard.com.

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
You should wipe the dalvik cache , along with the partition and data,just before installing a new ROM .

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RayHeath:
Hi Jonny,

When installing a new ROM and you don´t delete the cache, and I do a factory reset, along with repartitioning my sd card, there will be old stuff left over from the old ROM. So when we talk about a clean flash, that´s what we mean. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonny68:
So is it recommended i only delete dalvik cache only when downloading / updating a new build?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
Yes only delete the Dalvik cache befor you flash a new ROM,check my guide I have linked in my sig to get a better understanding what the Dalvik cache is and it's function, well at least a good general understanding of it.

I personally always run a Task 29 and then reflash MAGLDR and CWM then my room just to be extra sure.

Hi!

I'm not a big fan of the stock LG lockscreen, as many others i've seen.

I have tried GOTO Lockscreen, it's nice and all, but there are some bugs that I experience on the O2x. I've looked at Widgetlocker, but some of the comments in marked is saying it's a battery drainer and I do NOT need more drainage on the O2x :)

Do any of you have a functional lockscreen recommendation ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Gilg@mesh:
flash custom ROM with stock lockscreen.
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
If you take a look in the battery thread, you'll see I'd rather not.. until the drainage I experience on my O2x is fixed ..:-/ (Have not tried Fr8 and Fr10 yet, but my hands is itching ........)

I use my phone quite a lot in my work, and I need the batt. time I get from stock 10b.
[LG Optimus 2x] .:george:.:
Give it some time, the system needs couple of days to "get to know" the battery, it should improve after some time :)

As far as someone once said here... :D

Edit: if you insist on keeping the phone stock, install widget locker :)

[G2 and Desire Z General] tronmech:
Not all ebay batteries are crap. The 2 ones I got were, but for $8 shipped with that very charger, I wasn't expecting otherwise. I got 2 "1500 mah" batteries that *might* be 750. But in my case, it was the *charger* I wanted so I could charge my spare OEM battery.

If it matters, I get about 16-17 hours on a charge with wifi calling on at home and setcpu to throttle back to 245MHz when needed. The only profile I use is one to throttle back if the battery hits 105°F. (Which it did. Once. JUST once.) Since I have the equivalent of 2 spare oem batteries, and a AA-battery-based emergency charger, the various extended battery options just aren't that appealing. And the oem battery was pretty cheap on amazon.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jonathann0222:
Well that sound good I purchsed the charger with 2 batt 1500mah and the batteries tend to get really hot and is will still display 77 even though the batteries are burning
