How to upgrade to gingerbread

Hello all

I am very new to these rooting/upgrading the mobile.

I have a DesireHD, i wanted to upgrade to gingerbread with a custom ROM.

Can someone tell me the procedure to upgrade.

Thanks

Satya
[Desire HD General] Hawks556:
The information you need can easily be found in the guides on the forum, there is no need for us to hold your hand and guide you step-by-step through the whole procedure. That's what the guides are for. You need to educate yourself a bit as rooting and flashing etc. are for users with atleast some experience. We're not using iPhones here where iTunes and Apple do everything for you. This might sound a bit harsh but there are tons of people filling the forum and asking for other members here to practically do everything for them. I suggest that until you understand what rooting and flashing involves, you stay away from it.

Here's something to get you going: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936214

To obtain s-off and root with gingerbreak, these is the steps to do in order?

Root visionary-> S-off-> (Eng-off??) -> Gingerbreak, and finally clockwork recovery

But visionary is working with 2.3.3 stock htc?

Check the link that I posted earlier...
[Desire HD General] eventhorizonn:
You actually rooted it when it asked for Super User permission, when it didn't ask the first time around, that's because SuperUser was installed by GingerBreak.

Have you tried deleting the drivers for your phone on your pc and letting it redo setup? That is what I had to do when I used cm7.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You have all the drivers installed? Also, it can sometimes take around 3 minutes for "an internet connection" to be established.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whiterider13:
Another option is to get EasyTether from the market, I like it better than the built in app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
If you have XP you should look at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991328 . Seems like the reported fix would be applicable to Evo users.

As for Windows 7 compatibility, well, it is an ongoing issue.

PDANet does work fine on CM7, if you just have to have a workaround immediately.

But actually I *would* like to see open discussion of why the *native* CM7 wired tether doesn't work on Windows 7. It always seems to come down to RNDIS drivers, and the discussions always peter out before anyone posts anything concrete, either in terms of functioning workarounds or a specific development roadmap that gives us hope this will get fixed anytime soon.

has anyone thought about swapping out, or adding the flyer to their sprint account?

i would love to get one alongside my evo, but if i could find a way to practically carry it around without looking like a doofus, i would use it as my primary phone/tablet.

just wondering if anyone else is interested in this tablet by sprint.

and if youre going to keep your evo

I have the nook color and it is the size of the large Moleskin notebook -- in fact I used to use my softsided Moleskin as a "case" for it until I got a real one.

It is not very large, but I could not imagine using it as a phone unless using a bluetooth headset. Most carriers are blocking calling features--including Google Voice--on these devices. I think the T-mobile GSM version of the Galaxy Tab was the only one that got hacked into placing and receiving calls.You could do Google Voice over WiFi, but that is if the new Sprint Integration has not mucked it up, and YMMV on that. http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/05/sprint-google-voice-integration-has-major-issues-major-lack-o/
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggiephat:
When I have the sound on mute the speakers pop sometimes when a sound i guess is suppose to be playing in a game.

everything seems to work well when i have the sound on and play music or watch a movie or have in game sounds on, but when it is muted it pops every so often.

They also pop when rebooting the TF or turning it on from an off state, but I assume thats proper because its turning the system on so its doing some checks and balances to check if everything is working order.

Im not bothering with screen protector, there good screens to prevent scratches and feel better without. I have purchase a case but will only use that now and then .

I doubt either are necessary but I'd rather not kick myself a few weeks/months down the line...

I'll toss on Invisible Shield or similar and get a leather pouch. Its sufficient to keep the natural look and protect it while in the pouch.

I'm on stock 2.2 KB5 modem considering to flash BiWinning. Want to understand if the KB5 modem is better than the KB1 ?

Also let me know if following things are possible

1. BiWinning +kb5 modem ?

2. BiWinning + Voodoo enabled

Also want to understand how do i backup and restore. I understand there are many apps like titanium, nandroid etc. But never understood how do i restore them.

Things for Backup:

1. Contacts, call logs, sms, emails

2. Apps and their settings and data stored in apps

3. music and video files, pics

Also how does the google account work. Does this backup all data related to apps?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomadrider123:
Biwinning and kb5 and vodoo is fine.

Google or aka gmail will back up your contacts.

Titanium Back up will back up your apps and settings {setting on a new rom could give you force close} apps will be fine

Music video and pics should be copied to your computer just in case.

Nandroid back up the rom your currently on.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
Heres a good tip as well. Move the backups from the phone to either the external sd card or(preferably)PC. If anything happens and you have to wipe or ODIN you will lose everything in the internal sd(phone) including backups. Simply move the backup folder from each respective location. For example nandroid backups default location is /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups/ browse to there and copy/paste to external source. All backups will will default to internal sd card somewhere with a similar location. Any contacts saved to gmail will sync automatically when you open market so this is not necessary. Good luck!:)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
Just FYI, this gets better. There appears to be a coating of something on the screen that disappears over time, or maybe the first time you vigorously wipe it down. I was worried because I found my finger skipping across the screen instead of gliding, but now it's normal. Maybe it's from the protective plastic the Transformer ships in.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] krispy1:
i heard about that finger glide thing, take a micro fiber cloth make it very slightly damp and wipe the screen down
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gamble757:
I'm mad you got yours already! I'm waiting on the UPS guy right now haha.

Thanks for the comparison!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] strikethreeout:
Agreed. I thought my screen was broken when I first used it.

This changes over time. If it doesn't, a screen protector will solve any problems.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donatom3:
The difference in wifi strength could be due to the fact that the Transformer doesn't have a metal back. I remember when the iPhone 1's had problems cuz of the metal back.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] strikethreeout:
You forgot to mention a huge selling point: the GREAT price.

I got a TF + dock+ sleeve + 16 GB memory card for LESS than what I spent on the wifi only Xoom.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 03stage2:
I said in my conclusion that I spent $800 on the 4G Xoom and half on this tab. But youre completely right, even when I add the cost of the dock I am still WAY ahead of the game.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I did some tests last night and my Xoom was getting better wifi performance than my TF. I'm guessing any differences in either direction could be related as much to the router as to the tablet...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I agree with most of what you wrote, just some clarification on these items:

Audio: I've actually found that my Xoom's audio is higher quality than my TF's. I don't know if there's variability between TFs, but the Xoom's is both richer (more base and midrange, I think) and louder (even without something behind it to redirect the sound forward). I did a test last night and found the TF's speakers to be very inferior to the Xoom's.

Camera: The newest firmware definitely improves video capture, so no worries there.

Wi-Fi: I did a test last night with the Xoom and TF, and actually found the Xoom to perform better. However, there are too many variables to say which is better. The TF's performance is just fine regardless.

And ultimately, the screen is SO much better and the keyboard dock really does seal the deal. For $399, I think the TF is by far the better machine and would be even if the Xoom were the same price.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mikey450GT:
I believe it is something to do with the Gorilla Glass
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 03stage2:
Thanks for the input. For audio I agree the Xoom had more midtones but to me they were muffled and being priduced by a tiny speaker that has no business trying to replicate those frequencies. The TF is much more treble based and to me sounds better due to that. I still stand by the TF highs sound better overall though.

Thanks for the input on the camera. I see you can manually download the new firmware but my TF is so new I think I will wait for the OTA update as I dont want to risk bricking a brand new device.

Maybe I just got lucky on the wi-fi but it definately gets better signal even at distance. But as another poster stated sometimes wi-fi signal performance isnt always dictated by the using device as much as it is by the router itself.

Damn I love this screen.... :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
i agree too, even the audio out is worse than the xooms. there's just too much emphasis on the highs. it also doesn't get as loud and distorts more at lower levels - this is all through the headphone jack, not onboard speakers.

i was hoping that audio out would be as good as the xoom as i thought the xoom was as good or possibly better than my ipad's output. i'd have to assume it's a software tweek since i'd guess they'd have the same audio processors.

one other thing about the tf - make sure you have fingernails if you like to insert and remove micorsd cards in this unit. i cannot replace my sdcard without something to push it back in after removing it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 03stage2:
Well after a full night of playing with the transformer (as well as doing the firmware upgrade) I did come up with some more input

Audio: As others have stated the overall sound quality from the Xoom speakers are superior. Yesterday when i was playing with the device I was at work and couldnt really turn it up all the way. When you do hit max volume it is not very loud and is very distorted. At normal volume levels I think it sounds better simply because the speakers arent facing away from you. Now since I rarely run the tablet at max volume this shouldnt be an issue

Video recording: Yes the firmware did help significantly but it did not cure the problem entirely. The video now only slightly studders, which is somewhat tolerable. However my Xoom from day 1 took stellar video and never had an issue. Hopefully future updates will eliminate all studdering but for now the Xoom has the clear advantage in this area.

Battery life: Keep in mind I dont have the dock yet but the battery life on the Xoom is definately better. Not by leaps and bounds but it is noticeable. I played on the TF for 4 hours last night doing everything from video to firmware updated and I dropped to 40%. I did this same process when I got my Xoom for approximately the same amount of time and only went down to 60%. Perhaps its the floating ice cube background? Who knows, but for now the Xoom definately has the edge for now.

On screen keyboard: Yes I like the layout better on the TF but the input is slightly slower then the Xoom. Overall the TF seems more responsive but in this department the Xoom wins out. Again, hopefully this is something that is fixed in future updates.

Im trying to be as fair and honest as possible here so that I can help people make wise decisions. From my original post im still sold on the transformer over the Xoom but there are definately things the Xoom does better and vice versa.

Happy Hunting!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cbyter:
03stage2 - In general I agree with your comparison. I've been using the TF and Xoom side by side for the last week.

Battery life: I've noticed the the TF battery drains faster when it's not being used, like overnight. The Xoom seems to use less battery when it's not doing anything. In active usage I haven't noticed a difference, but I use them for different things.

Screen Keyboard: I hated the Xoom OSKeyboard from day one, I almost took it back it was so frustrating. The Xoom does not seem to have the same level of multitouch. The TF keyboard has been much better, I can almost touch type with the TF keyboard.

I've already promised the Xoom to a family member as a gift. Now I'm debating selling the Xoom and giving them a TF instead (assuming I can get my hands on another one!).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerichoholic:
wtf you said the TF was good then in blue you praise xoom
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 03stage2:
If you read my comments in the end of the blue I still say the TF is better IMO. However I dont want to be one of those biased folks who simply promote the product they own. As I stated they both have areas that each one does better in but overall the TF still feels like the better choice to me. Also, the TF is so new that i have a feeling allot of the bugs im seeing will be corrected with FW updates.

I would hope that the folks here would benefit more from an honest review rather then sugar coating the review and making it seem like I had my own agenda....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Hatman41:
I just wish I could find on in stock anywhere :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
The Xoom has some advantages over the Transformer, obviously. I believe if they were both the same price, it'd come down to the screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Nascar Dog:
I agree.

I have an iPad 2 with its "Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating" and the glass is so smooth and easy to slide your finger on.

I also have an ASUS EP121 Tablet with Gorilla Glass and i did notice a different feel than the iPad 2. It does get better the more you clean the glass.

I haven't got a Transformer yet but since it has Gorilla Glass, it should feel the same as the EP121.

Not complaining, just different technology. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 03stage2:
The glass did get MUCH better after simply wiping it off with a microfiber cloth. I dont think it has anything to do with the glass, I actually believe it is their choice of adhesive on the plastic screen cover it ships with.

My Captivate is running Android 2.2. I have a 2 gig external SD card. On the memory specs, it says the internal SD is 13GB, and the phone memory is 1.34 Gigs. I have the option of installing or moving applications between Phone memory or SD card.

1. Does phone memory mean the 1.34 gigs, or does it refer to the 13GB internal SD card.

2. When you install/move to SD card, which SD card is it referring to, the internal or the external?

They should make this a little clearer.

hello everyone

i bought a moto defy 2 days ago and i have a question

how to access and save on internal sd(i mean save on the 2gb internal memory)because ever since i inserted my 4gb memory card everything automatically get saved on the external sd/memory card even applications automatically install in memory card although i have android 2.1 not 2.2!

and when i try to save on internal memory i get an error msg!

any idea why??
[Defy General] Evil Slayer:
anyone?????????
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
No idea, sorry! Just curious where apps are installed in the sd, which folder?
[Defy General] 999phonebug:
The internal memory is not normally accessible, to access it on the phone you have to root the device and use terminal or RootExplorer.

Or you can use adb via desktop.

Finally, the official app2sd method use encryption to prevent the apks easily readable. You may use the mount command to find out more (if you've rooted).
[Defy General] Evil Slayer:
in /sdcard

there's a folder for go lanucher and for musical pro and sketchmobile and SPC as well as other apps

but i tried to remove the memory card and run the apps and they ran which means they are in phone memory but maybe have additional files in SDcard

ok is this for all non-rooted android phones or just defy?
