RIL is not neccesary, use it if things dont work well, it may improve situation, but it is likely that you will have to experiment till you found one that works best for your phone & rom & radio.

RIL is stored in ROM part, so every time you change ROMs, RIL you flashed is gone.

also you do not need to upgrade your radio, do it only if stuff doesnt work fine after flashing a custom ROM.

you also mentiond coming back to stock rom - when you ran a RUU, it also flashes a RADIO and a RIL, so no worries there :)

every radio comes with its own RIL, but experience showed, that not necessairly they work well together when it comes do diffrent devices on diffrent networks and diffrent roms.

so - flash your rom, if it is ok that leave things be, if not - upgrade your radio, and then you can start flashing RILs :)

remmember to make NANDROID before flashing RIL and also that in order to flash RIL you must mount \system in recovery.

radio flashes are safest from fastboot if you are S-OFF, if not you can do them from recovery :)
[Desire General] Birdskenburg:
Thank you for your reply, really appreciate it:)

I have one last question, just out of curiosity.. You mentioned that radio flashes are safest from fastboot. Why is that?

I'm still S-ON so I won't be able to use fastboot for flashing... Would you recommend S-OFFing to minimize the risk of bricking my phone, in case I decide to flash a new radio?

Thnx
[Desire General] dzumagos:
well you can flash radio from recovery, lots of ppl do that without any problems. i never tried it myself.

i think fastboot method is safer since it doesnt involve rebooting your phone during the procedure :P but not sure how exactly is this safer, it just has been stated many times, that flashing radio fastboot method is SAFEST.

anyway going S-OFF (cd method i used) is super easy, just be sure not to have a2sd+ or data2xxx rom while doing that.

oh and apart from minor advantages like changing your splashscreen or the ability to delete apps from \system while booted up in android there is one BIG advantage - the option to use custom partion table. I am running InsertCoin v19 on CM7 hboot version, and is not only super fast but also it provides lots of space for apps :)

it definietly faster than insertcoin HD data2ext i used before going S-OFF

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschmiedel:
I have read for a while and I have found nothing that will make me 100% sure for what I need.

I'm interested in buying this phone as it's similar to the Sprint Evo Shift but will work with the new GSM network my carrier has with HSPA+ (at least for 7.2mbps as far as I've read).

So, I know the DZ will work as my carrier uses 850/1900 for HSPA, but I've seen that people with AT&T in the US buy the DZ (not the G2 as T-Mobile uses other frequencies).

My question is, what's finally the difference between both phones? Is there a hardware difference that makes them operate on different frequencies or is it only related to the flashed radio?

It's confusing to me as many people in the forum assure in other threads that the phones are exactly the same, but if people with AT&T spend more for the canadian version makes me think it's a HW issue.

Thank you and regards
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Frequency compatibility is set in hardware, and can't be modified with software. You need to buy the phone that is compatible with your carrier's 3G network. As you suspected, this is the reason why AT&T customers (like myself) have paid premium prices for the Bell Canada version of the Z, the only version of the Vision that is fully compatible with AT&T's 850/1900 MHz 3G network.

Aside from frequency compability, the Z and the G2 are essentially the same phone. The G2 has a keyboard button for .www and .com (its a Tab key on the Z). But that's really it. Of course, the Z has Sense, but that is software, and you can flash a Sense ROM if you want.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschmiedel:
redpoint73, thank you very much. I have the Evo Shift right now that works on the 3G CDMA network, but my provider just released the 4G HSPA+ GSM network and since then, I feel 3G speeds are getting lower every day and the network isn't as stable anymore as it used to be.

I was about to buy the T-Mobile version, but now I'm confident that I need the Bell version... Will have to wait for a good deal on Ebay. Too bad that HTC has only these options with keyboard, I really like my Evo Shift, but I'm getting speeds as low as 380kbps for download while users with HSPA+ are getting up to 4mbps...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Are you sure that GSM phones even work on Sprint? My understanding is that the your phone needs to be Sprint branded, otherwise they will not have an ESN number to activate in the system.

BTW, please click the "Thanks" button, if my post helped you.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschmiedel:
No, I'm in Mexico, my carrier is Iusacell. They used to be a CDMA network, the first 3G network in Mexico built more than 10 years ago, most of us used to buy Sprint phones as they were the best to port to this company, however now they are starting their GSM network and it looks as if they're starting to leave the CDMA network out of the priority, so I'm looking for a phone that will work. I have done my research and they use the 850/1900 frequencies for HSPA+, so most US/Canada phones will work but not T-Mobile.

Thank you...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Ahh, I understand now. That makes a lot more sense. You didn't mention your carrier (or country), but mentioned Sprint, so I assumed that was your carrier.

Right now, it seems that indeed the Bell Canada version of the Desire Z is best fit for what you want (same conclusion that I came to a few months ago).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Redpoint, don't forget the partitions are different on the phone also. The DZ has smaller partitions (system at least) than the G2. This hasn't been an issue... yet, given than every custom so far has been well below the stock size of even the DZ. With the new sense though, things are going to only go up in size for those ROMs. That being said it still shouldn't be an issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Hard for me to forget it, since I wasn't aware of that :-/

Whats the exact breakdown of the difference in system partitions?

That's actually opposite of what one would expect, since the Sense ROMs take up more memory.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschmiedel:
Yes, I hadn't mentioned my carrier earlier. Now my issue is that shipping from Canada to Mexico is prohibitive (more than 90USD), so maybe I will have to stay with the AT&T inspire... Will have to use Swype or something similar as an alternative to the physical keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I was going to recommend the Inspire, even though you seemed to need/want a physical keyboard. It looks like a great phone.

The Desire Z is my 3rd smartphone, and all have had physical keyboards. But for my next, I am seriously considering going without the physical keyboard. I can't stand typing on a touch screen by the "traditional" method. But I've found that with Swype, I can type as fast, maybe even faster than with the physical keyboard. I've been finding myself using the physical keyboard much less than I thought I would.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschmiedel:
Yes, I really like Swype too, but I have some issues with it. I write moste messages in Spanish, but I also use English and German. Changing languages is not as easy as I think it should be. But well, the main issue for me is that Swype always uses special charecters in Spanish/German (ñ, á, ä, etc.) which is nice on Emails, whatsapp, etc. but is a big problem with SMS texting as carriers in Mexico don't support these characters (it's really stupid) so messages sometimes get messed up completely.

I think that's the main reason why I like the physical keyboard. I have had many smartphones (mogul, touch, diamond, touch pro, motorola droid, htc evo and now the evo shift). I really hated the droid's keyboard, but the shift is really nice to use. Will have to get used to using on screen typing again... :) I think it's not worth paying 500 bucks for the Desire Z due to shippig if I can get a brand new Inspire for less...

Regards
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Sorry, didn't come back to this thread yesterday. I'm not sure of the exact breakdown for the partitions. I know the system is smaller and a couple others vary. There's an old thread somewhere on here with the details though.
[Nook Color General] findmike:
Hi there! I've been using CM7 for a while now and have had three or four occasions so far where my 16 Gig Patriot Class 10 card has ended up with either partially or completely corrupted data and I'm curious if this is just an issue with a cheap card, some feature of the Nook or related to something in CM7. Most of the time it will eventually come up with a damaged SD card warning but prior to that my directory structure gets mutated into symbols instead of letters (it's current state).

I'm planning on swapping out the card with a SanDisk I have here so if it's the card I suspect the problem will go away but mostly I was wondering:

1. Anyone else have this issue?

2. Are there any known fixes?

Appreciate any help. Would eventually like to be able to use this card for storing movies but having it fritz out from time to time is a real pain with the amount of stuff android keeps on the SD cards.

I was making stirfy when the keynote was going on so I went to their site and tried it out. It streamed for the most part just fine. The audio and video were off a bit, and it would cut out for a few seconds at a time every now and then; but strangely it would continue exactly where it stopped, so I didn't actually miss anything during the cuts. So overall it worked reliably.

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

Using the search option gives me temporarily not available... So don't blame me if there already was a topic about it :)

I'm on android 2.2, rooted and S-OFF and changed a couple images here and there, some stockappsn removed, but nothing big.

So, I got a prompt to install systemupdate 2.3

My question is: can I do this safely while my DHD is rooted and all? Or do I need to restore my phone back to stock-version? I remember that updating from (i believe it was) 2.1 to 2.2 it errored because it verified all the files on it (and it failed because I had some **** tweaked). Will this happen to me (and leaving me with a brick maybe)?

Thanks !

Maurice

im not 100% sure, i've heard different people say different things.

In my opinion, i dont think anything will happen, but i havent tried it so....

but if it does work,..., you will lose root for sure.

what i did is downloaded a stock-rooted ROM from HERE. - this is the official update, but just modified to be rooted. check it out.

i just flashed it with CWM recovery

good going, Vinchenzop. I hope you get permission because this rom looks slick.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vinchenzop:
It runs very smooth. There are some apps that need to be taken out (verizon specific ones; voicemail for instance) though, but thats why there's a WIP tag...I'm not going to do much until I get a PM response from original creator. When/if I get a green light, I'll change more stuff out and upload another (more sprint) release.

You will likely get all these questions, so I am going to ask you right now (that the thread is small and legible)

* 4G

* Video (720p)

* Camera (8 MP)

* GPS

* EPST

* Sensors

Is all of the above working?

Thanks for taking the time to port this and also for being respectful for the work of others. It is good to see devs who still believe in concepts like this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
I took a look at this rom earlier on when Clark requested it but I figured it was a waste of time because I thought no one was going to help out.

Glad to see people like you on here! Will subscribe to this thread as I too wish that you get the green light on this....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vinchenzop:
Everything works except 4G. There isn't an option to turn on 4G, so that's that I guess lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] retnuh730:
I'm assuming this is a CM7 base rom with a rosie hacked onto it, or is it a Sense base with CM7 features added? It looks half and half to me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vinchenzop:
I took on the request as a challenge, because I've never had any luck with making/porting ROMS, so this is really the first ROM I've ever made/ported successfully!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
I think is sense with CM7 features.......that's what I got from reading the original thread BUT I could be wrong...lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] CheesyNutz:
nice hope you get permissions to release :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] retnuh730:
Either way I like it. Looks smooth as hell. Perfect amount of eye candy vs. functionality. First ROM I'd flash in a while that I'd actually want to use for an extended period of time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vinchenzop:
Its more of a sense-based with CM7 features added.

On a Side Note:

Clark44 is downloading it now, as I made the port originally per his request, so we'll see what kind of feedback he gives once he flashes.

Please no one PM me/clark for the download link because I'm trying to respect original dev's request for anyone who uses his work to get permission before releasing any downloads publically
[EVO 4G Android Development] CheesyNutz:
nice will this require the sdcard to be partitioned ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
After looking at the original thread, I am pretty sure I'll flash this in a heartbeat once permission is granted to release it. It looks like a super cool rom, and I'd def give it a spin. Good work on the port OP, I look forward to trying this out!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vinchenzop:
No, the full ROM is only 176MBs.
