[HTC Inspire 4G] Tmullins23:
I appreciate the info. This is quite new to me. I've had the inspire since day one and have been afraid to root. I've tried a few different radios but i'm still having spotty service. Any recommendations?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
switch to verizon...

On a serious note, where you having shotty service to begin with?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tmullins23:
Wish I could switch to Verizon. lol. Company has paid for my phone for the past 5 years and i've been stuck with ATT under a corporate contract. I could get my own phone.... but who wants a bill?

I'm just south of Detroit, MI.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tmullins23:
Tried

12.39a.60.19P_26.06.06.30_M - This one was absolutely horrible.

Currently on

12.41.60.19h_26.06.04.14_M

- Its better but my signal strength is around 103db-110db. Speedtest is around 1.3MB Download and 80kb upload
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
What I was asking was if you had bad service, before you started flashing radios (meaning the stock unrooted rom). Also its good to let a radio settle (sounds weird I know), but fly with one for a day or two. I usually have better service the next day with a radio. I am sure others will agree with me as well. Also a major thing is matching the correct radio with the recommended radio for the rom.

I had great service before I did the Bubby Root. I'll let it sit for a day or two and see what happens. I appreciate your help.

I'm on the stock Rom and just rooted at this point. The RCMix was giving me horrible echo so I reverted back.

Seems to be all trial and error...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tmullins23:
Ok, I was thinking that maybe I am actually doing something wrong.

What are the steps to flashing a rom to flashing a radio.

- Do I flash the ROM first and then the radio or does it matter?

This is how I did it...

I copied the radio into the bubby pd98IMG.zip file and left everything else in there. After the radio flashes it boots into the stock inspire android version. 2.2, I then went to ROM manager and downloaded the rom / installed etc...

How can I just flash the radio without reinstalling the stock android every time?
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
Delete the pd98img from your sd card

Read this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002226

Very easy to flash the radio :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tmullins23:
Not sure what he means by this:

"If you are creating your own PD98IMG.zip files make sure that the radio.img matches the md5sum of the original before placing it in the zip. Here is the md5sum of the 3 radios included in this post"

I know how to remove the radio.img file from the zip folder and replace it with the new.

I haven't been using the Hack Kit. So essentially, every time I change my radio i've been going back to Bubbys stock rom :mad:
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
You don't need to remove the radio.img from the zip folder of the radio file you download. Just download the zip radio file you need, make sure the md5sum matches and then flash thru hboot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tmullins23:
OK.. So I can delete the pd98IMG file off of the sd card, install the new file radio.img and hboot?

Thought it had to be placed in the pd98IMG?
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
The way you are flashing now is the preferred method. Eng. S-off is riskier.

Also, checking the md5sum is simply a safety measure to ensure that the radio img was not corrupted during download.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tmullins23:
OK. But is there a way to just flash the radio and not the entire Bubby Rom? Example, The PD98IMG file that I am using contains the following: Android-info.txt, boot.img, hboot_7230_ace_0.84.0019_101227.nb0, radio.img, rcdata.img, recovery.img, splacsh1.nbo, splash2.nbo, system.img etc...

Is that all needed to flash just the radio? Or can the PD98IMG file just contain: radio.img and rcdata.img?

Final question...
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
There is a thread on here for flashing radios without eng s off in development section. I am on my phone so not as easy to find and post a link but I will look real quick.

[Android Software Development] smokinbanger:
Noob here! I hope I didn't post this in the wrong section. I'm wondering who of the pros could build me a custom rom for some htc devices (aria, thunderbolt, and maybe inspire) or if you have one that may be fitting for my needs. I'm sure I could learn how and do it with a kitchen[I made a few for WM devices before]. Or perhaps someone would be willing to walk me through learning how-{I know nothing about programming though}. Right now the Aria is most important as I haven't rooted my Tbolt yet. I find there are lot of roms out there I could try but I need something very stable (I'm giving this Aria to a kid and dont want to have to fix it for him all the time). I don't have the time to follow all this dev stuff and feel like learnig it myself will be a little overwelming...PM me if you feel like

For the Aria...

Im OK with Sense but like to use ADW launcher

Strip out all bloatware including Facebook, Friend Stream, Mobi TV,IM, Mobile Banking, Peep, Where, YPMobile, Weather, Stocks, Utube, Talk, News, All AT&T stuff

Remove Internet App

Remove Gmail & Mail App

Android 2.2 or higher would be cool but not nessiccary

Kill the Market

Ad Google Voice

If you know of a good firewall that can block data except for certain apps (like Voice)

Edit: Swype would be nice too!

Basically He's a kid and I don't want him to have access to all the cr@p out there That even the cheap stripped AT&T phones have so I chose an Android so i can customize it.:D
[Android Software Development] FreddyFresh:
I have a better suggestion, if it's a kid who shall use a smartphone, either change the phone type or go to Wi-Fi Wireless settings in Android and set 3G and Wi-Fi off. A kid isn't smart enought to start the wi-fi and if he does, make sure your wi-fi is password protected (encrypted). Because you can make sure the phone can't access the internet without 2G/3G - Wi-Fi disabled.

Smarter solution then bricking the phone ^^,
[Android Software Development] nthknd:
If the aria is rooted just uninstall all those apk.
[Android Software Development] FreddyFresh:
Yeah but why? If he uninstall Market, how will he get it back? Suppose he could find something like Market.Apk or download it from a update or recovery(?).

Sounds meaningless to go throught that much trouble just to make sure your kid can't access the internet.
[Android Software Development] nickmcminn60:
Sounds like he needs a butt naked Cm7 or MIUI..........or a flip phone lol
[Android Software Development] lolnl:
Just install CyanogenMod without the google apps that should cover most of it
[Android Software Development] roalex:
You guys really don't know kids this days, he will get all this stuff back in no time :)
[Android Software Development] nthknd:
Agreed
[Android Software Development] tycoon177:
Ya im a kid and the only way my parents can only get my data gone by taking it off the plan o would easily get it back
[Android Software Development] tripacer99:
I'm not sure if this applies to the aria or not, but on my phone (verizon fascinate), there is a file named pppd_runner in /system/bin/ that, when removed, "breaks" data. Wifi will still work (not sure how to break that though), but he will not be able to receive MMS messages.

You need to be rooted to remove this file, and if you want to restore data on his phone you can simply restore the file. I suggest you backup the file somewhere safe and then remove it.

As for the internet-related apps, you could always remove the .apk files from the phone using titanium backup, root explorer, etc.
[Android Software Development] FreddyFresh:
How old is the kid?

Do as you're told and install a CyanogenMod 7 (clean), chance that you brick your phone is there but if you do it perfectly it's nothing to worry about.
[Android Software Development] weeo:
Errr Get titanium backup and unistall what you dont want !
[General Topics] xNavyblue:
I had an iPhone 3GS. After I lost it now I have a HTC Desire.

My contract is expiring in a few months time and looking for another phone that will last me another 2 years. If I am going to use the phone for another 2 years, the hardware has to be up to the task. However I have problem with the latest crop of dual cores Android phones.

- LG Optimus 2x (despise the fake iPhone UI)

- Samsung Galaxy S II (despise the fake iPhone UI)

- Motorola Atrix (not available here)

- HTC Sensation (considering the Incredible S, not sure if it is rootable)

I could probably use a third party home screen for the Korean phones, I have tried most of them out there, IMO none of them are perfect. Zeam is not buggy, but doesn't scroll very smooth. Launcher Pro is very smooth, but occasionally pause to re cache (keep in memory doesn't quite work). ADW's elastic effect (so is Launcher Pro's) sometimes doesn't show up. IMO their features are superior in quantity but not in quality compared to vanilla Android or HTC's Sense.

On my Desire the AOSP ROMs tends to not fully utilise the hardware like the camera. I hope there are good AOSP ROM for them.

The phones that actually attracted me are:

- HTC Desire Z (has keyboard)

- SE Xperia Arc / Pro (Gigantic screen and pretty / has keyboards)

- Nexus S (I can imagine using it unrooted)

However they being all single core are kind of a side step from what i have now and worry they might get a little long in the tooth.

I considered the iPhone 5, on most aspect iPhone 4 is very nice to me, but it doesn't allow me to do simple things like USB file transfer, which is important to me. I also have a few Linux PC that doesn't do iTunes.

Thoughts?
[General Topics] lude219:
There's no dilemma; buying a single-core in 2011 is downright stupid.
[General Topics] liquid0624:
I bet my thunderbolt will give those dual core phones a run for there money...
[General Topics] lude219:
other than the LTE speed, it can't touch a dual core. thats so stupid that its beyond comprehension. do you also prefer a single core pentium4 over an i7?
[General Topics] theomega:
I wouldn't say it's stupid. Single-core devices will be pushed downmarket quickly and be more accessible. But I agree, anyone who tells me that a single-phone is a range-topping device is just trying to get a laugh
[General Topics] lude219:
I dont think economy of scales has anything to do with single or dual cores, but rather that's the natural progression of electronics. Every handset will go down eventually toward their End-of-Life (EOL) cycle before they're replaced with newer ones.
[General Topics] xNavyblue:
Dude you don't have to be offensive.

Besides the gap between a dual and single core snapdragon is no where near between a processor today and one from a decade ago.

I don't play games, but I expect smooth UI. So the hardware is only part of the equation. As much as I like my Desire it is not as smooth as an iPhone 4 which is similarly spec'ed.

But if a dual core is what it takes to get that kind of smoothness on Android I'll pay for it. But once I paid for it I expect it to deliver as a package and not bogged down by some third rate software. Which is why I considered the Nexus S, which is as clean as it gets. The new Xperia line seems not bad from what I have seen even though they are single core.

Although the dual core Xperia will be a killer. But SE's history of software update may be a cause for concern.
[General Topics] theomega:
We are in agreement but thats not what I meant to suggest lol. Having dual-core phones at the subsidized $200-300USD top end will force carriers/manufacturers to price down single-core devices to occupy lower price points regardless of how competitive they are on performance.

OP - Looking at all the hands-ons lately with the Atrix, G2x, SGS2, etc. it seems like having 2 cores amounts to a fairly dramatic difference in smoothness of the UI. I guess the question is what constitutes "smooth enough"
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dickie2007:
if you want an awesome music app, try PowerAMP... impressive!! it detects when u insert headphones and auto resumes your last tune, even if the app was closed! Also flawless gapless play back!

Also peeps, your samsung supplied headphones have a button on the mic for pausing/answering your calls, but hold the button and it will skip track!! It can also be configured for double/triple presses for next/previous track!!

It works with DSP Manager alongside its own full featured EQ...

The best music app i've come across!

Dickie
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] NZtechfreak:
Yep, I think most of us who have tried PowerAMP are converts. I got the trial version several months ago, paid for the full app after about 7 minutes (once Master of Puppets had finished playing from memory). Best thing about the EQ is the preamp, which increases output to headphones a reasonable amount.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Intratech:
The has been the music application I've used since it was released and the purchased it once it came on the market.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dickie2007:
yeah, you couldn't ask for more from a player really eh!! ive used it for a while now, but thought i'd throw it up as ive not really seen a mention of it but a few people complaining about lack of controls on the mic and incompatabilities with other/older ear phones with track skip etc...

nice solution!

I Flashed Recovery!

I try to flash recovery and it doesn't work! ROM Manager say's it flashed the recovery but neither clockworkmod nor Amon_Ra works :confused: When I try to boot in to recovery it stays at the green MyTouch Spash Screen and nothing happens, and if I connect it to the USB port "FLASHBOOT USB" appears in the upper left corner, but I can't do anything... Here is my OS info, maybe it´s blocking the flahsinf of the custom recovery:

Android Version: 2.2.1

Baseband Version: 62.50SJ.20.17U_2.22.28.25

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-27237-gbe746fb android-build@apa26 #1

Build Number: FRG83D

I googled and I tried flahsing the recovery via FastBoot and I get the Remote Not Allow eror and if I try Flas_Image I get the Stop (Signal) error and/or Invalid Instrucion error.

Edit: I took the flash_image file from the Ginger Yoshi ROM (opened the "Ginger+yoshi+1.1.zip" and took flash_image from system\bin\) pushed it to the sdcard, pushed the reovery.img and followed these steps:

mount -o remount, rw /system

cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin

cd /system/bin

chmod 777 flash_image

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

now flash_image doesn't give me an "Illegal instruction" but gives me these:

After some serious googleing I found out that I need to flash_image as soon as the phone boots up so it can run :D seems that the the MT3G (32B) uses too much memory on 2.2.1 to fhasl_iamge to run :p I'm creating a nandroid backup and will proceed with the rest... wish me luck! :o

Hey, Just ditched my ihpone 4 for a Mozart WP7 phone and am very happy so far... Got almost all the apps I need (or used regularly on my iphone) but I have a few questions.

1. is there a way to move the zune software (or library) to a network drive. This is backed up regularly and I would want to keep everything on there.

I could do it with itunes by holding shift while launching. (I hated itunes, it keeps crashing on me, so far zune has been very stable)

2. Can anyone please stop my eyes from bleeding when I do a search. I do not want to use Yahoo. they don't seem to understand that less is more. It looks horrible. (I think this may be an O2 thing). I want bing or google to be the default.
