What he said up there. I'm running Bionix 1.3.1 with Bali 1.8.8. and its pretty good.I dont wanna give you no bull**** #s of hours cuz I use my phone differently everyday but I could tell you it lasts all day (5am - 10pm u could say).

1% every 10 minutes sounds a bit much. Go to settings - applications - manage applications- then select the "running" tab ( I think going that ways gives you more info that just going straight to "running services) and check what is really running in your phone.

Another great app is Autostarts cuz it gives you the option to enable/disable startup of apps (user and system) when the phone starts up or other different conditions that would make a specific app start up. Just set up and reboot.

Can anyone point me to a 2.2 rom that will work with CMW recovery 3.0.0.8? Every ROM i try to install gives me a scripting error. I am unable to flash to a earlier version and even using odin i cant go back. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hecantbreathe:
None available yet. I think sonofskywalker said he's working on one if he can get around to it.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
Hi XDA,

So I surfed around the internet and found that there were no 100% Gingerbread non-modified, messed around with ROM's for the DHD. This is annoying because I recently changed from a Desire (Running Oxygen) to the Desire HD, and when it come's to custom ROM's, I like them as clean and as close to Stock as possible. I know I sound picky, but I suffer from OCD, and things like Cyanogen where the Menu has 5 apps in a row, and the UI is frankly 'rubbish*' annoy me.

So I was just wondering, is there anything I have missed? I would really like a close-to-stock ROM, just like Oxygen for the Desire on my DHD. If I could make the ROM myself, I would, but unfortunatly I'm not the sort of person that can do that, my computer skill's ain't so good. Let's put it this way, its Stock Gingerbread, or Stock Sense for me*.

I have tried Spike's Gingerbread and I didn't like it as it wasn't very fast and was bogged up with left-over Sense things.

*No offence to Cyanogen users, It's a personal opinion, not a description. The overall ROM is fast, and mostly bugfree, its just the UI that puts me off.

** I don't want a Sense ROM whatsoever, but if I can't find a stock ROM then I will go back to Stock Sense.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McKebapp:
Uhhh, U know, that you can simply change the home-launcher to get another "GUI"?

I'm running latest CM7 nightly + LordMod 4.1 BFS Kernel + Zeam Launcher and everything is smooth as hell + the screen is "normal".
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
Well I know that I could simply download a launcher from the Market and set it? But then the ADW stuff would still show up in the Settings bit.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McKebapp:
And why don't you simply uninstall ADW?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
If you uninstall ADW, if you were on the Homescreen and Pressed Menu>Settings, ADW Settings would still appear on that list in Cyanogen even if uninstalled, am i correct?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McKebapp:
I don't think so. It should be dead and gone.

To be sure, simply --> Install *insertrandomlanucherhere* --> switch to that launcher --> uninstall ADW.

I've never seen any remains from ADW.

To be 200% sure --> make use of Titanium Backups uninstall function.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
Thanks, will try it now.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristofpetho:
Or, you could just take out the ADWLauncher.apk from the zip in the /system/app directory, and put whatever launcher apk you want.

I did just this with Launcher Pro and there is not a trace of ADW even on first boot...
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] zenkinz:
after using cm7, I found out that the notification bar is no longer there. I don't use ADW, so there's no setting I can use to 'unhide' it.

basically I am referring to the shortcuts and/or last recent apps bar when I pull down the notification window.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] aussieglis:
What do u mean? Cm does not have recent apps in notificationbar as sense rom's have.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] zenkinz:
I know CM7 doesn't have it, I mean what third party can I install to bring back this feature. I actually prefer shortcut than recent apps, so it doesn't have to be recent apps on the notification bar.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] EmptyArea:
It's pretty easy to get used to using long press home to view recent apps. it's so second nature noter I forgot all about that sense feature.

Swyped on transparent XDA app.

Get cape. Wear cape. Fly!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] zenkinz:
turns out I have to do something different to bring back the power widget in the notification bar. The power widget (if that's what its called) disappeared when I change the theme, and I've to uncheck 'show power widget' in the Cyanogenmod setting, reboot, and then recheck 'show power widget' again to bring back to power widget.

thanks and considered this case close :)
[Android Themes] holgalee:
I want a simple lockscreen without having to install a theme, as I don't want changes to my wallpaper or notification bar. What I have in mind is something like this:

I don't need any further customisations, so I wonder if the only way I can get it is to purchase an a lockscreen app? I have some paid apps, but I believe I'll really under-utilise the lockscreen ones, so if there are some free and legitimate files that I can use, that will be great! TIA.
[Android Themes] holgalee:
Does anybody know? :)
[Android Themes] N-Forced:
You can always use metamorph if you don't want to flash a full theme.
[Android Themes] holgalee:
Thanks for the tip. I checked up Metamorph and it's really beyond me. So I got the widgetlocker app. :D

But I'll bookmark the really cool Metamorph thread and refer to it if I ever become my tech savvy! :p
[Android Themes] mrbubba999:
I use widget locker, you have to pay, but it's a brilliant app
[Android Themes] hiv0lt:
+1 for WidgetLocker
[Android Themes] holgalee:
Now that I've got widgetlocker, I think it totally rocks! Especially when used with the themes created by people from XDA!

I was a little put-pff by the screencaptures I saw on appbrain, which aren't exactly nice. :D

Credit for koush for Droid2 Bootstrap

Credit for edgardcastro for sharing lots of information about 2nd-boot on Milestone1

Credit for Skrilax_CZ for 2nd-init and sh hijack

Credit for r2beta0 for how to 2nd-init on M2

Hello guys,

after weeks of work and trouble with the m2 i finally got a booting 2.2 AOSP image for the m2.

This is still work in progress, many things are not working, i am just releasing this one

to show that it's possible to build custom roms (even without the possibility of a custom kernel, for now).

Because i had some trouble to put the compiled android on the system partition without ending

with a not booting phone, i pulled the compiled system on the preinstall partition.

Installation is a little bit tricky but if you guys do as i describe below anything should work

without problems.

What's not working:

- Many things (Baseband, WLAN...)

What's working:

- Touchscreen (So you can at least play a little bit with the UI)

- Vibration

- Keyboard

- Light sensors

- 3D Gallery

- BT

The phone is faster without Motoblur.

Development is still in progress, but you can give this one already a try.

Based on MILA2_U6_3.12.0_SIGNED_US1MILESTONE2RETBRB125LA016.0R_GSXMILETRETBRLA_P026_A009_M012_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf

What you need:

Rooted Milestone 2

Droid 2 Bootstrapper

PC with ADB installed

How to install:

1) Extract the files contained in the zip to the root of your sdcard

2) Reboot into recovery mode with usb cable connected

3) Restore the system partition with the image contained in the zip (nandroid restore over recovery)

4) Now open the adb shell and type:

-# cd /preinstall

-# rm -r app

-# rm -r md5

-# rm -r mml

-# unyaffs /sdcard/preinstall.img

5) Perform a full wipe

6) Reboot system

Whe the phone is turned off and you try turn on the phone, you will end in recovery.

Simply choose "Reboot system" to reboot into android.

If you have problem with battery, simply wipe battery stats.

Is there any possibility for you to run quadrant, just out of curiousity. even though there is still a lot of stuff not working.

[Milestone 2 Android Development] DeadSix17:
Unfortunately i dont get it to boot.. bootloop so today im not going to test it .. maybe tommorow when i have time, yet i dont know why it causes a bootloop since i did it like you've said.. maybe because i forgot the preinstall, pushed it after restore and then did the rest (well its actually the same ... shouldnt cause a bootloop)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] inheme:
Got any screens for us?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] jmini123:

[Milestone 2 Android Development] Moody:
Google "android 2.2"

It's just stock froyo. You'd better be off asking him for photos, but you could always try it yourself though. If you screw up, just follow my tutorial!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Moody:
So the system is basically located in /preinstall and you're using a minimal android build in /system?

Or do you mean you told te update.zip to install files into /preinstall and manually copied them over? Then what are the contens of the preinstall image?

I'll investigate when I have more time.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Emacore:
Congratulations ! You are great, Thank you for giving more zest for life to m2
[Milestone 2 Android Development] aa3818687:
can u update the zip to u.115.com?

you know, we can not visit many american websites in CN,such as your "download" web.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] m0rph3us:
Did you do the full wipe? Wich rom do you have on your phone as base?

Yes the compiled system is located on /preinstall.

The /system partition is still there for the 2nd-init and the recovery bootstrap.

This is just an experimental build, once i have something that can be released i will move try to move things on the /system partition, but i have tried this for weeks without success.

The system informations says that it is android 2.2, but for real it is 2.2.1. The 2.2 value is read from the build.prop file on the system partition, so don't think that is the stock rom with some customization, but a 100% Froyo AOSP.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] micduffy:
Congrats. At least u gave us something real unlike fission Angdroid
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Moody:
Great, we (Owain94 and I) appreciate you sharing this information with us. We will build our alpha and beta builds using this method untill we find a way to install to /system. Thanks for your ideas!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] m0rph3us:
No prob. I am currently recompiling, it seems the wifi modules etc have problems if they are launched from /preinstall, i also found a way to get the system boot from /system, but i will be sure later when the build is finished. I will give you more information later.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex5968:
Im using the latest stock update ... Can anyone tell me how to switch between open apps with the latest stock update.. Im new to this thanks all
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeff_chaney:
Very new here and have run into what seems to be a ROM stopper issue.

My company uses Exchange Activesync but in order to connect has to be allowed to push certain security settings to my Inspire. The normal rooted phone, I am able to use the HTC Email app with no issues and am forced to use the security.

However, after flashing a ROM (I have tried MIMU and REV 4,) I am no longer able to add my Activesync account. It gets down to do the install and fails with a general error (Try again later or some such) and won't create the account.

I did do some searching and found there was an email app that apparently bypasses that setup, but I'm not interested in bi-passing, just in getting the security to work.

Now, finally to the question: Are there any INSPIRE ROMs here that people have got to work with activesync? More specifically, with activesync that is trying to force security settings on the device?

(I had made a backup of my ROM before hand and was able to restore back to working copy without any issues [yeah] and I am sure that I wiped everything on installing both ove the above mentioned ROM.)

Sorry for the long post, but I thought background was important to understand the issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
CM7 will work fine. Now keep in mind, the actual server address can be different on AOSP email clients compared to HTC.

For example, my setup that I administer:

HTC Server address: owa.organization.com

Domain: organizationdomain

AOSP(CM7) Server address: owa.organization.com/owa

Domain:blank

Check with your exchange admin to see what your proper settings would be. If others in your organization have, for instance a Samsung or Nexus, get what they would use for settings.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pside15:
My Inspire is a work phone I have never had an issue getting it to connect to our activesync. It also has that extra security thing but it always prompts me to allow it right before it syncs up. It has worked for me on the following ROMs.

Ultimate Droid (Current ROM)

CM7

MIUI

Cognition

RC Mix HD

You could always try a 3rd party email app like touchdown or K9 from the market.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeff_chaney:
I tried it for sure on MIUI and it didn't work. I have tried using K-9 and it won't even work with activesync account on stock. I am getting this error when I am trying to add the account both in email as well as in just the Settings - Account. Any other thoughts? I will try CM7 or Ultimate Droid tonight.

Thanks,

Jeff
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
MIUI makes changes to the AOSP email program, so it actually may not be compatible. What version of Exchange are you running?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeff_chaney:
I believe we are on Exchange 2007. Here is the info on the exchange web service:

Connected to Microsoft Exchange

Secured by Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server

© 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
That is what I administer. When adding to MIUI are you using the same server name/domain info that you had in HTC based ROMs?
[HTC Inspire 4G] akira02rex:
We have a Exchange 2003 and I cannot get it to connect to that server. Maildroid and Touchdown both worked without any problems. I wish the default email client was a little more robust.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeff_chaney:
Yes, I am using the exact same information that I did when I installed it on the "stock" ROM when trying in MIUI. I have tried both on just the "add account" method as well as from the stock email client + K-9 Email.

In stock, I cannot get the K-9 email to work at all. the HTC sense email client works fine.

in MIUI (and REV 4.0) neither email client works and I cannot add the activesync server under accounts either.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
You may want to try using no domain and the full owa path for server name.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeff_chaney:
I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the advice.

BTW...I did finally get the K-9 mail to work on the "stock" ROM. I had to put in my full email addy on the mailbox alias along with the /owa/auth/ in the Authorization path.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeff_chaney:
Update to the saga. Just tried CM 7 and when I try to add the ActiveSync Account, here is the actual error I get:

Setup could not finish

This server requires security features your phone does not support.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Do you already have a PIN code set to unlock the device?
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
It sounds like your corporate IT server is locked down a little more than normal. I've used the CM7 stock client on 3 exchange systems (my employer's server, my consulting gig's server and gmail exchange settings for push) and it connects fine to all of them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Also, try RCMix 5.9.3. See if it gives the same results as Rev 4.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeff_chaney:
OK. Update with CM7.

I tried setting up the pin before adding account, no go. The other security option that they are trying to enforce is being able to wipe the phone (I work for a State Gov't...neat, huh) I'm guessing it is this setting that is causing the issue.

I did, however, get the K-9 email program to work in CM7. Now the only downside is I don't get contacts or calendar. I'll keep looking...
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Hah, local Gov't here. The default AOSP mail client does support remote wipe, as I have tested our organization's functionality on Android on CM7, RCMix, and of course stock. (as well as a few times on the Captivate).

Try setting the password in Location & Security and checking that Use Secure Credentials is checked; and make sure Email is set as a device administrator.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeff_chaney:
How would I go about doing the "make sure Email is set as a device administrator." step you mentioned? When I click on device administrator there is nothing there to select.

I did try setting up the password in Loc & Sec and the checked the Use Secure as well. Still wouldn't allow me to add the activesync account. This is all still on CM7. Still a no go on getting my contacts and calendars to sync. What am I missing? (I'm sure it is me.)
[HTC Inspire 4G] GreatWall2:
You may want to try to contact your organization administrators and ask them if you can have an exception for the security policy. There is a particular setting that I have seen brought problems with several android phone this setting is "Allow Non-provisionable Device" and it should be set to true (many organizations set it to false which cause connectivity failures).
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeff_chaney:
There is no way that I will get them to change settings for me. It has to either be something I am missing or a change that needs to be made in the ROM
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Or incorrect settings. It took me many tries to get my activesync procedure set up correctly on android. The different clients with different settings make it quite difficult. What works in one does not always work on another.

Do you have any coworkers with a non HTC device? Check their settings and duplicate. If it doesn't work in cm7 it would also not work on any Nexus or g2 device, for instance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeff_chaney:
I have a buddy with a Motorola Droid. He is stock though and won't flash ROM. I'm sure that it is likely due to security settings to allow remote wipe, but I don't understand why when I put the same info in on Stock 2.2 Sense it works perfect, and when I put it in a flashed ROM (now tried MIUI, REV, CM7) that it just won't fly....

The calender thing is killing me, contacts I really don't care. Email, I found a work around (K-9) Gonna try a few others and see what happens. Perhaps 1 more Gingerbread then off to a Froyo to see if that is anything.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
HTC changed their proprietary mail app in gingerbread. It is entirely possible that they haven't fully implemented full security yet. Try Dilligaf's and see if it works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeff_chaney:
RCMix has done the trick. It allows the correct settings. w00t! Might give dilligaf's a shot to.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
3.4 or 5.9?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeff_chaney:
5.9 is working great! Playing around with it as we speak.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Awesome, good to hear. By far my favorite Sense ROM. (Rotating Rosie ftw!)
[Desire General] NoneSkillZ:
so i want to change again my rom again but now i have a lot of things on my phone that important to me

so i would like to use titanium backup but im not quit sure how to use properly

so can somebody explain to me how do i backup everything

and when i mean everything i mean like saves from games and sms and music and pictures and more

so please i need your help

thanks
[Desire General] aswinarun:
Using Titanium Backup:

1. Menu -> Batch -> Select RUN Backup all user apps + System data

2. The backup will be in the folder on ur SD card. Copy and save it in case u earse the entire SD card

Using Recovery:

To backup enitre ROM which ever you are currently using. Reboot into recovery..

Currently I use Clockword Mod, so I know how to do it only by this one

1. Reboot into recovery mode.

2.Under Backup & Restore do the nandroid Backup which backsup the currently using ROM with data.

3. This will also be under the folder ClockwordMod in ur SD card backit up in case u do SD card formatting

For SMS, Call Logs & Pictures I use McAfee Wavesecure which I bought long back and backsup all the data.. not sure about Titanium backup for SMS & stuff...

I think this might help you. ;)
[Desire General] BroNumsi:
Excuse a newbie question, but doesn't the nandroid recovery just take a snapshot of the current setup with ROM and all?

How do you use it with a new ROM?
[Desire General] Mordon99:
You use the nandroid if the new rom doesnt work or you of some other reason want to go back to the old rom.
[Desire General] Kalavere:
Don't backup System Data if you are changing from one ROM to another, you will invariably get problems backing up system files that won't work smoothly with the new ROM. Just backup user apps.
[Desire General] JxXxn:
Hi,if i backup system data but do not restore them..will it still conflict?
[Desire General] Kalavere:
No, that's fine. You can back both up and just restore apps and app data with no problem. I've never backed up system data I really don't see the point, I guess you could backup and restore to the same ROM, but i'd rather just start afresh each time.
[Desire General] erklat:
I couldn't agree more with this.
[Desire General] Kalavere:
Being able to backup system data selectively isn't a bad idea, i.e. Wi-Fi access points and literally one or two other things, if someone is after a system backup this is where nandroid comes into play, in my opinion.
[Desire General] aswinarun:
I do agree backup for user apps. Also I would prefer Nandroid to restore the old ROM fully. Since I have been using some CM7 RC builds & also nightly builds.. i started to restore system data as well, which literally helps me to have all settings as well.:p

Also he can run Restore apps with data alone...

But it is upto OP which method he prefers.. :)
[Desire General] mistaliu:
This is for sure, things like bookmarks, user dictionary, wifi are nice to be able to just restore.
[Desire General] fred_be9300:
I may have gotten confused....

is there a method to selectively backup / restore bookmarks and wifi (wep/wpa passphrases) ?
