Getting Started

Choosing A Custom Hboot/Rom & The Difference Between Stock / Cm7 Hboot

TO USE CM7/++ HBOOTS U MUST BE S-0FF

What HBOOT/ROM version do I need?

CM7 hboot

can only be used with cm7/++ ONLY.

# Cm7/++ Hboot has 130 mb for system 5 mb for cache & 302 mb for data which in short means u get more space on internal memory and can sometime inprove the device

#Cm7/++ advantage version that dalvik and the rest of OS are running from nand, hence good ROM speed. cache / data can be moved manually with command in POST 2

Stock HBOOT

can be used with both a2sd and x-a2sd(you HAVE to be s o-ff to use x-a2sd) versions.

# Bravo stock Hboot has 250mb for system 40mb for cache & 147mb for data which in short term means u get less space on internal memory and can sometime slow the device down

# a2sd Disadvantage: dalvik moved to sd-ext, hence user can experience some lag.

# a2sd Advantage: no need to s-off, straight flash.

# x-a2sd Disadvantage: HAVE to be s-off

# x-a2ssd Advantage: dalvik can be moved back to internal memory and you will still have reasonable amount of memory space left.

You CAN'T mix and match cm7/stock hboot/roms.

# Installing / Getting Swype To Work

1. Uninstall swype and swype installer

2. Use your beta invite to re- download the installer, chose desired version and install.

3. Once installed go through all the steps installer wants you to.

4. Once all is done, click "generate license" - most likely it will retool you swype isn't licensed.

5. Do as asked by the app to generate a valid license.

6. when done correctly, you'll be back on the sign in screen. (i tried to sign in, but it wouldn't work)

7. Hit the back soft key, and launch the installer again.

8. Follow instructions, you should have working swype.

9. Enjoy.

Alternatively, you can skip the whole uninstall/install process and start from step 4. (i haven't tested if this works, can someone confirm, this will save time too

UOT KITCHEN HELP

Can i Flash my UOT Kitchen Framework

# Yes you can Flash your UOT Kitchen Framework As long as Dev has not changed the Framework[/COLOR

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Cant Install UOT On X-A2SD Rom

Make your mod with UOT Kitchen, download zip, open it, extract files (SystemUI, framework...) and manually push in recovery (mount system, data...) in right location of your rom. Location could be different depends what version do you use.

Easiest way is to use QtADB >>>http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=683223
