This together with the fact where the most prominent developers from here go.

If they'd force us using Sense I'd have no grudge against it as I'm using it anyway - as long as it is custom; i.e. only aosp and miui get banned. I couldn't care less :D
[Desire General] amitabhishek:
Isn't even Desire's bootloader locked till we S-OFF it? A hypothetical question, If Desire bootloader can be unlocked why cant Sensation's?

AFAIK HTC cant be trusted in these matters.
[Desire General] danarama:
I believe there is an additional encyption on there. CDMA desires with hboot 1.06 cannot be rooted yet. Nor can the latest Wildfire, Desire S etc

Where there is a will there is a way, but it may take a lot of work.
[Desire General] neomoz:
I hope HTC come to their senses (pardon the pun) and unlock their boot loaders, its the only thing stopping me from upgrading to the sensation. Like others here a sgs2 is on the cards otherwise.
[Desire General] amitabhishek:
Agreed! Will switch to SGS2 if this thing drags too much. Hope someone at HTC is reading this thread!
[Desire General] erklat:
They are most certainly not.

And even if they do, why should they care since majority of their customers are either stock or Justin Bieber fans. Us here comprise maybe 0,001% of their income from sold phones, i.e. absolutely no reason why they should even be inclined to think otherwise.
[Desire General] germaansboefje:
Xda will be bigger then ever before, think the more experienced members will become like HTC-helpdesk members :rolleyes:....good luck to you all

Yes agree.

[Desire General] ljesh:
Cannot agree with you. Most of the people I know that have HTC (android) devices are very PC literal people. Most of the ones that like stock or are Justin Bieber fans have iPhones, per my personal experience.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
50-50 for me

a lot of people I know with a HTC Android phone seem fairly happy with it as stock.

However, interestingly the people I know with a Galaxy S have all rooted and booted the stock OS and reflashed new ROMs like Darkys and Honey-something-or-other

I think for the bog standard user - the Sense is a big key feature that means they are fairly happy with the phone as standard, and sometimes won't look elsewhere...

Will one problem of an unlocked bootloader mean more bricks from newbies?

To be honest, HTC could profit from it from bricked phone's anyway with people buying replacements? :)
[Desire General] K900:
Heeeeeeell yeeeeeah :) Though I can't choose if I want SGS2 or Sensation now...

right now my choice is sgs2 if htc unlocks bootloader for sensation I will have to reconsider my decision
[Desire General] drew2d1:
Good news!
[Desire General] nitrox1:
"Great Scott", but will sensation be? or do we have to wait, and wait, and wait.

Still great news

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Paul O'Brien has just posted on Twitter that he got an email from HTC saying they will be shipping unlocked bootloader from now, and might retrospectively unlock existing devices

http://www.tweetdeck.com/twitter/PaulOBrien/~lhozk

"Just had the best mail from HTC, confirming they will no longer be locking bootloaders! :-) More details to folllow, but it looks like I'm getting a Sensation. ;-)"
[Desire General] ironjon:
God news!
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Not sure that Peter Chou, CEO of HTC is God...
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Was thinking that myself!!

How's the ROM working out? Have you got the v5 kernel running to fix the GPS yet?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
ROM is working out great - have a nice amount of storage space, and has been on and stable for 4d 15h without crash nor reboot.

I've downloaded v5 of the kernel but not flashed it on yet. :)
[Desire General] cez10:
ps. any official threads for the kernel you're using? ;)

damn not sure what to do now sgs2 or sensation :/

[Desire General] naf007:
Happy days :D
[Desire General] cez10:
Im guessing you have tried other kernels such as vork and the one by manu? is the one you using now the most efficient?

ps. is it just for sense roms? or cm7 would work too ?

ps.

still not sure but its like 60-40 for the sgs2 :o

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098700

70-30 maybe lol
[Desire General] aindow:
If they start shipping new phones with an unlocked bootloader and don't retrospectively unlock the ones already out there in the distribution chain it would cause problems as people would have no way of knowing whether they were getting one with an unlocked bootloader, or not.

What about network branded phones, will they also have unlocked boltloaders?

I assume they would release it as an ota update ;)

Just rooted and flashed Starburst on my Desire, but haven't done S-off yet as I have no need (getting rid of O2 startup screen doesn't cut it).

Was going to say I should have waited to see if they do retrospective unlocks, but just realised I was on O2 ROM anyway, so I would never have seen it... ;)

Hello why sgs2 better than transformer or tegra 2 with playing movies ?

I just tried mkv + some mp4 bdrip in transformer they don't work well lag too much

And I tried same movies in my phone sgs2 with same player I used in transformer they all work well and smooth look like I'm watching from pc what the problem ? Is the problem with tegra 2 ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarol:
Please take a look at the screen resolution between each device... there's your answer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan stewart:
I dont think its that simple, if the video is encoded at 720p and is of a large size and bitrate it should still be as challenging to play, even if its not using all of the reso.

The bigger question is who is playing it? Is the app really optimized to be running on the dual core tegra? I havent had a chance to because my TF isnt arriving tomorrow but I handbraked some 720p files that i have run through my Evo with no problems so we shall see how the recoded videos work with the stock player compared to MKVs through a 3rd party player.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9646gt:
Also are both running off the same SD card.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Segnaro:
Because Exynos is superior to Tegra 2. :cool:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redshirt72:
Still blows my mind that they're going to use Tegra 2 in the Galaxy 10.1 tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mailboy1412:
Samsung said they couldn't produce enough Exynos so even some of their SGS2 phone have to switch to Tegra 2. That's why the 10.1 can't get the Exynos
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhisl:
I dont know about the sgs2, but my Epic has built in Divx codex for playing video. The Tf may not have the same codec pack or asus is usiing some proprietary software that isnt utilizing the tegra well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smelian:
Its not about the res I think tegra 2 is a joke cuz its really slow if u compare it with sgs 2 prossesor I wish samsung change its plan with there tab and make there new tabs with better cpu
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zac95:
The tegra 2 is a joke? Well, mines sailing along at 1.6ghz right now and makes all the previously mentioned look bad. Unhappy with your transformer or galaxy tab?

Buy a Xoom :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smelian:
Its ok I'm not unhappy with my transformer but I feel bad that's it can't open movies smooth as my phone , I want to watch movie on it when I travil
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
It would take more work to decode a 720p video and reencode it at a lower resolution on the fly. It's the tegra 2 and honeycomb combo. Tegra 2 can handle 1080p just not high profile h264.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czm2000:
I saw this in a YouTube review. The TF had studdery video and the Xoom did not. They both have Tegra 2 processors so I don't think these the problem.

I'm personally hoping its software related and crossing my fingers that HC 3.1 will solve the problem.

[HTC Inspire 4G] brd912:
Please if its been posted,tell me where and ill read it but a quick search revealed nothing. I just picked up my inspire and when I check for HTC update it shows there is one. Do I need to update before rooting? Also what changes are there as far as any major steps to flashing a Rom. Like if I want inspired ace can I just root,flash recovery and install Rom? Or does the bootloaders need to be flashed before flashing a gingerbread Rom? Sorry for the 838393 million questions but I'm a long time Samsung user lol,I know my way around rooting and flashing but I know HTC phones can be a little different
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
No. You Do not need to update first.

Read the sticky at the top of the forum for the rest. There you will get only answers.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wdkingery:
hahahaha

anyway, like he said do that .. as far as the update first or not:

you can flash whatever radio you want after you are done rooting; for me i rooted before the OTA, but for wifey we did the update first.. it doesn't matter, as the info will be destroyed during the root anyway.

you cannot OTA after root from what i gather, as i was never offered the update as i was rooted
[HTC Inspire 4G] brd912:
Lol sorry for putting it like that. It's just sometimes someones question sounds like one that's been answered already,but they mean it in a different specific way. Here lately people have been a little rude about the whole "its been answered" but really I just have a hard time explaining exactly what I mean in text. I don't mind reading the stickies but sometimes it gets confusing if you are new to a device and don't know what stage the development is at lol. But thanks man,ill go read the stickies and if I have any problems ill just post back here lol. Appreciate the kind answer
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
Well don't take it to harshly most are just sarcastic. I mean I am just sarcastic. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
What doesn't help is when you can't truly tell for sure if its a playful sarcasm or mean sarcasm. It sometimes is hard to tell considering we are talking to each other in text form. There have been some posts I've read, not by you, but others, that I couldnt particularly tell if they were being mean or just being a smart @ss just to mess with someone without offending. I just wanna say something to the ones who have meant there sarcasm in a mean way. My wife's cousin coined these 2 phrases, and I like using them a lot. "Can't we all just smoke a bong!" And, "Life's a ***** and then you die, f*** the world let's get high!" Lmao ;D :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
My favorite method is to apply the OTA and then use Gingerbreak. Chainfire is a fantastic developer and I used gingerbreak to install rom manager, flash CWM, and get your flashing on.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
its a REALLY BAD idea to flash with less than 50% battery because you never know you might run into problems and you might run out of juice mid flash which can permabrick your device. seccond yes you can recalobrate just charge up to 100 go into clockwork and wipe battery stats plug it in while the phone is off and wait till the green battery is 100% then run the battery dry without charging untill it wont even turn on. then your batteries calibrated.

Pretty Simple Theme,

You will need CM7 (Because of its T-Mobile theming engine)

You will need to know how to sideload APK's

Any Droid should work (or any phone for that matter)

Step 1 (Install Launcher 7)

Get Launcher 7 from market

(Donate version doesnt have ads, i suggest getting it. you wont be disappointed)

Change default launcher to Launcher 7

Step 2 (Make tiles Blue)

On the homescreen, press menu

Press 'Launcher7 Settings"

Change the tile color to #ff19a1e2

Click the blue swatch to confirm

(Do not set status bar options, the theme will do this)

Step 3 Install the CM Theme

In Market, get MinimalBread

The Install will go into your Theme Chooser app

One side effect of the theme is some missing features. so far i havent seen any big ones

Select it, Install then Reboot

Step 4 Music App

now what inspired me to make this tutorial was the music app i saw on Engadget,

Article Here

Download Here

Software Updates Here

Install the APK to your phone

Hold down the music Icon in Launcher7

Press the Pencil

Change the Application and look for Fede's Music App

Now your phone has the Windows Phone 7 theme,

Any questions? Feel free to PM me
