Running Android off the SD card isn't the same as actually running it on a phone designed for it.

I ran Android on my HTC Topaz (Pure) and it sucked hard. I'm sure the HD2 does it better but still doesn't compare.

I know we can run Roms directly off of the SD card because I've done it on a Nook Color with Honeycomb. So I guess it would be possible if we had the drivers.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nextonline:
I want a good WP7 too. I don't know much about OS designs, but W7 seems way more intuitive and not choppy when compared to android, at least in my opinion. I'm getting android G2X, but my next phone will probably be WP7, I'm just waiting for MS to pick up their slack and build one I wont regret buying.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SPD7:
If there was a rom available I would try it. I had windows mobile before getting a G1 and had no real issues. Should be interesting when/if Windows catches up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
I wouldn't get WP7 because the hardware requirement is very strict (even memory card), so even replacing a memory card will be a major hassle.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brd912:
Ever since the post bout gingerbread in general,its been hard to find answers pertaining to the actual subject. but has anyone flashed JVB_JC3_JVK.ZIP?

would it perma brick a cappy?

i have some time on my hands today and would like to experiment a little,,thanks in advance for a good answer
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Flashing a modem won't brick your cappy. Also, every modem works differently on every phone and perfomance depends alot of your location.

Feel free to try them out - Just make sure you know what you're doing ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brd912:
So all that is is a modem
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
The zip you mentionned up there is 3 different modem. ei: JVK is its own modem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
no, he doesn't understand, please ignore him.

the JVB rar should have a PDA, MODEM, and CSC tar.md5 files inside which are to be used with ODIN. you *should* be able to flash it and be fine, but I wouldn't recommend it as there's always a potential for bricking with ODIN. add to that, you should flash the new bootloaders to avoid graphical glitches, they'll affect your button recovery for download mode (which could lead to more potential danger).

basically, anytime you use ODIN will *never* be safe, but you *should* be able to do it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brd912:
Wow,a different bootloader? What should I use? Also which files do I flash to get the whole thing? The whole zip or just the zimage? Sorry for the 4 questions at once but I guess there's more to it than I thought lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
if you are asking this, you shouldnt be flashing it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brd912:
I can do it. I've flashed imui and cm7. I know where to put the files,and how to flash them. Just not which ones. And as far as a bootloader,I didn't even know you could change on the captivate. Im new here,so there are a few things I don't know about the captivate but im no newb
[Desire HD General] mox123:
just rooted this son of a bi*** and what a ****** nightmare to do it. after making the goldcard, android sdk, adb tools, downgrading, etc. etc. finally go a copy of revolution 4 rom on it with the phone fully rooted. was much easier on the HD2 :-) which I still have and use daily.

any chance I can change the theme or colours as the default gray on the popup windows is sheer ugly, i know 3.5 has a few themes but none for 4?
[Desire HD General] letom:
If you go on the thread they have a whole section devoted to themes. It's on the first page.
[Desire HD General] combat goofwing:
on the device the default ones that come on the phone ?
[Desire HD General] frosty_ice:
They are in /etc, but you can't just add new books if that is your intention.

You would have to edit some database, but I am not completely sure which one, and add a separate entry for every book.

Copying the books from the device works fine, they are epubs.

Edit: The database is /data/data/com.htc.ereader/databases/ereader.db

Edit2: I was just going to write a dirty little app that adds books to the database when I realized, that there is an "Import" function in the reader ;-;
[Desire HD General] joro.valchev:
Hello,

Can you tell me where is this book import, because my only visible options are to download and buy books from kobo.

Thanks in advance. :)
[Desire HD General] frosty_ice:
Switch to the list view of the books, press menu and select "Import Books"
[Desire HD General] joro.valchev:
My only options in this view are sort, delete and accounts. In any type of view don't have option like import or something wich add a book from the phone. :(
[Desire HD General] frosty_ice:
Maybe it changed in the Gingerbread update?

You can try my apk (attached).
[Desire HD General] joro.valchev:
In Gingerbread maybe is changed, but i'm with stock 2.2. Thanks about the apk but it says "cannot parsing the package" :(
[Desire HD General] frosty_ice:
A pity.

Well if you are rooted you can manually edit the database (/data/data/com.htc.ereader/databases/ereader.db) and add entries for your own books there.

I would recommend Root Explorer & SQLite Editor for this, but it is still very uncomfortable if you want to add a large amount of books.
[LG Optimus 2x] len.asdf:
Dear readers from XDA,

I rooted my o2x, I installed some roms, updated my kernel for OC (wich was pretty fun :)), and updated my baseband. However my battery is really draining, i have to charge twice a day or more.

That is, of course, really bad. And i want to go to stock, everything. I've read a lot of things on the forums but i'm actually a beginner, so i'm kinda getting lost trying to revert all my actions. Can anyone point me the right thread? Because i'm sure there is one, i just can't find it.

Thanks in advance,

Len

edit: Forgot to mention, but my device has terrible lag, more then on stock.

I have Skype 1.0.0.538 in my Captivate. Since I have an online number I can receive phone calls. But when Skype is in the background, I can't receive calls or even Skype calls.

Is there a way to leave Skype "fully open" so I can receive calls even when the phone is asleep or using another app?

i think you should ask in Q&A section or maybe general section.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonikowsky:
I went by the print store today to ask about getting my screen replaced. the guy I talked with said that for a hardware fix it wouldn't matter if I were rooted.

But they couldn't put my phone on any kind of blacklist or anything could they? I'd rather not waste the time unrooting if I don't have to.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesomeindeed:
Sprint will work on rooted phones for hardware issues. It's internal policy for them now as of recently. I confirmed this with my local Sprint repair store.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
They may work on them, but they may also take note of the fact that you're rooted in case you have software problems. Takes 10 min, just make a backup before you do, so when you root again, easy to get back to where you were.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
Do not unroot your phone to take to sprint. Ive had 2 screen rep;acements and many other replacements rooted. And that was before the alleged new policy regarding root. Used to be, they would say (after fixing), 'yeah, as long as you atleast try to make it look stock, thats all good'.

But apparently/allegedly now, even obvious root is ok. I'd still flash a stock theme

Why are there so many threads about this? people no searchy?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonikowsky:

I took my Evo's for screen repairs, speaker phone repair and battery issues many times, all while having MIUI flashed. No one ever said anything to me.

Sprint people didn't even know what it was. I just said "oh I downloaded a new theme."
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarlanPepper0010:
I thought rooting was not illegal anymore. Maybe it depends on the technician you speak with. Some are cool, some are not. I say unroot just to be safe. Thank god for easy rooting practices...

screen fix and root

I think it all depends on what store you are taking it into, i took my rooted phone in and had the screen replaced no issues,

what is odexed and deodexed? :confused::confused::confused::confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
"Deodexed ROMs have their .apk's (which are basically the application packages) repackaged in a certain way. An "odex" can be thought of as a collection of parts of applications that have been pulled out and optimized before booting. This speeds up the boot process - in a way, it preloads part of the applications - but it also makes hacking those apps difficult because part of the original code is already extracted somewhere else.

Deodexing is just a process of putting those pieces back into the original applications. It takes a while to extract those parts and build the .dex cache (aka Dalvik cache), but only because the relevant parts aren't in an easy-to-access place for the system. The advantage of this is that an app can be modified effectively and the developer doesn't have to worry about conflicts from the separate odex part of the code.

So, short version: "Deodexed" ROMs have all their apps put back together. If an app can be themed, for example, a deodexed version of that app will not get messed up when the modified .apk tries to mesh with the odex of the original un-modified .apk. Because it's not there.

If you want an aftermarket theme, you need a deodexed ROM. I'm not sure if deodexing can be done to individual apps within a non-deodexed ROM."

Taken from PPC Geeks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jalai:
You've probably seen a few odexed ROMs popping up... there will be more and it should be the way to go these days... simply put, odex is better for optimizing and speed, all while keeping sense functional. The stock ROM out the box is odexed. It is also the most stable.

Most ROMs out right now are deodexed for modding and theming purposes.

As of late It has been perceived that it was not possible or just too difficult to theme and mod an odexed ROM. I believe the developer Aamikam has come up with a way to not just use his optimizations and tweaks from his previous ROMs but also add custom mods and themes all while keeping the ROM odexed...

I may be wrong but most if not all of the newer themed odexed ROMs out are off of his base.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auronis1:
I've done some searching and can't find an exact answer. Since flashing The Perfect Storm Latest Release: 1.3 (4/12/11) I've noticed that in the location settings there is an option for "Phone Finder"

This is my first custom ROM installation and from what I've read this used to be a feature linked to HTCsense.com but after attempting to register an account I noticed the Thunderbolt is not a listed device. :confused:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MONKY_1:
The HTC thing I for got the name but. Go to settings>sounds>phone ringtones and when your at the the list of ringtones on top of all the ringtones you should see get more. And it will tell you to sign up for HTC SENSE ACCOUNT. And if you lost or someone took your phone and if u had that check the find phone. You can find your phone on your laptop computer and you can download ringtones and more text ringtones all for free. Don't worry its HTC (: oh and you can download more skins also.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auronis1:
I should also mention that this option was not an available checkbox when I had my stock rom installed, it only appeared after flashing.

TIA:)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] teh roxxorz:
Its probably the screen. If you want to change the theme, there are several in this section, just scroll through some off the earlier pages. Most of them install from theme manager if you're on like CM7, or can be flashed from recovery; depending on how the author packaged it.

i think the problem is...you cant "announce" your intentions to do something...even extremely popular rom developers (team whiskey) take crap for saying theyre gonna do something and then when they dont do it (or get it done in a timely manner) they get jumped on

if you want to learn to develop roms...then great

but it was totally unnecessary to say you planned on "picking up superclean"...a simple "i think i want to learn rom building" would have gotten ya a few wtg's or something
[Fascinate General] gunnermike:
maybe since you are just starting out, instead of this thread, you could head over to irc and start learning from the folks there. they are some pretty cool guys and most are willing and even eager to teach if you are willing to learn. dont get me wrong, you need to already have an idea of what to do, its not a school. it sounds to me like you already have the tools to start deving. why not get a head start and learn from the guys already doing it.

In the future include a kernel in my current WIP rom. ATM it includes none because I am lazy and don't want to learn that yet.

Sell us man :)

[Fascinate General] tonu42:
I am still working on this, except I am no longer going to use amend scripts. You will have to use clockwork 3 in order to flash this. JT has helped me out and I now have a better starting ground. I am going to mooch off Adryns debloated debinged ED01 Rom and add things to that.

While this is true, no AV client exists on the market today that can actually do any worthwhile AV scanning.

The problem is that there is no way for the AV clients to hook into the kernel to do real checking. Most apps out there today just look for malicious apps in /data/apps/ by doing a signature check against known bad things.
