A picture doesn't prove that they will ALL be Android-based. They could release anything they want without giving notice to anyone.

If they only release the five or six models, then chances are they will all be Android-based. They might come out with an ereader or something though that doesn't run Android, you never know.

Unless you work for them and have inside information that nobody else has, don't assume that everything will be as we like to think it will be.

So I notice that the CommRom 2.0 thread highly recommends using adb to generate logcats. So, uh, how do I get adb?

Or you could have actually done a minimal amount of effort and used the search function here at XDA, searched for "ADB", and found this thread:

Actually I did do a search, I also paid attention to the links that pop up when I created this thread, that thread didn't turn up. I also PM'd someone who has understandably not gotten back to me yet (it hasn't been that long). Additionally I did a search on the market, it was also unhelpful. So, after all that I posted a simple question in the Q&A forum.

Thanks for the links, let us know how therapy goes for you.
[Fascinate General] landshark68:
Therapy is going great for me. They tell me in a couple of weeks they may actually remove the restraints. A couple of points:

1) Your thread is in the General area, so either you posted in the forum you didn't intend to or it got moved by a mod. Highly unlikely as I've never seen a thread get moved OUT of Q & A

2) If you had started your OP with "Hey guys need a little help. I searched the forums but couldn't find an answer (or couldn't find what I was looking for). How do I (or where do I).......? That lets everyone know you did put the effort forth to try and find an answer on your own. Everyone will be much more pleasant and eager to help you.

Just a few tips there because I'm all about helping out, educating, and providing information. If you need any help with ADB, I'm not as proficient with it as others but I'm getting better. That first link is a great help for beginners to adb and even includes screenshot visual aids.
[Fascinate General] xmrbonesx:
The Android SDK includes ADB and the necessary drivers for your phone.

Once you get it installed, typing ADB will give you a list of commands you can use with it. Just remember to turn on USB Debugging on your phone for it to connect.

OK first off lemme start by saying, I have absolutely no idea how any of this stuff works.. -__-

I recently got an HD2 phone that is running a rom from DFT and it seems to be horrible. phone is constantly freezing and having to be reset, im always dropping service, cant sent MMS messages, Internet is overly slow and my touch doesnt want to work nor does the phone like to go into landscape mode.

with that being said, what is the best rom for me to install and will someone please help me with a sort of step by step how to for noobs?

thank you in advance

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] technoob:
if the rom has magldr/clk in the name, put the rom zip on your sd card. Find the clockwork mod download and flash it using usb flasher mode in magldr, you can then go to ad recovery in magldr, install zip from sd card, let it install and you should be good.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] technoob:
That is a build meant to run from the sd card. If magldr is already flashed you should look into nand roms. The installation of the sd rom is very different than the nand rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cold-Tea:
i hate using sd roms, they are so damn slow.. :)

well.. upgrading hd2 to android from windows mobile is pretty much easy..

1) flash hspl to version 2.08

2) flash radio to >2.15

3) install magldr

4) install clockworkmode recovery

5) install rom

6) enjoy

if you wanna try another rom, just do steps 5 through 6 and 6 again :)

maybe a few wipe data/cache/dalvik when you get stuck..

either way.. dont rush installing new builds.. first you snoop around this forum for people reporting bugs and stuff that don't work.. and wait for a stable release :)

btw, i use boyppc v26 build myself.. a bit buggy, but - i like to try out new systems as they appear..

Flashing radio is optional. I use the 2.10. radio and all is well. I tried 2.15 and everything was extremely slow, data drops, no market downloads, the whole deal was very frustrating. Tried 2.12 and things were fine but it seems that 2.10 is one of the more stable radios that I have used.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] CMURDAx:
see now the radio thing i dont understand. i also dont know if i have clockwork recovery mode on mine, is there a way to check? <-- dumb question prolly.

i guess what i want is for my phone as close to normal as possible, because rite now im ready to ditch this phone for something that is unrooted. half the time i cant even use it, sending texts is near impossible on the thing, and im constantly dropping calls and service.

since i cant seem to wrap my head around what rom would be good for solving these problems for a noob, could one of you give me the link to what you feel would fulfill my wants?

The only way you are going to be able to do any of this is if you read and learn. There is pretty staright forward guides ouy there, If you can follow them then you should probably just sell the HD2 and get a Desire HD or an iPhone.

Unfortanetly i do not know ANYONE around me that can personally come do it for me, and im tired of paying for a phone that doesnt even work 90% of the time. its not like i went and installed this myself and learned, i got the phone this way and just want to get it fixed. yes i am a noob, and i studied the one guide like crazy, im currently waiting on a USB cord so that way i can get a diff rom on the phone. hopefully this POS bricks so i can just get a new one.

[HTC Inspire 4G] jayjaypops:
i currently have an inspire 4g but under tmobile

i have rooted and installed CM7. everythings running great but i really hate the fact that im only getting 2g connection just because im tmobile, and this is an atnt phone. im really close to just trading it for a tmobile 4g phone just so i can take advantage of my plan...

so basically my question is..

can an HTC Inspire 4g from ATnT acquire 3g or 4g from a tmobile sim card ?!

i think i know the answer because about the GSM Bands but is there anyways at all? basically, change APN's or ROMS that radio those bands? please and Thanks so much XDA community! Thanks in advance!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Carlrobling:
Sorry to tell you but no there is no way. The radio is set for ATT frequencies. It is the same for a tmobile phone on ATT. I would try and trade for a tmobile phone. Check Craigslist see what you can come up with.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jayjaypops:
aww. smh. such a nice phone but with a lousy service :P. no offence ATNT but ATNT dug me out from head to toe. so much hidden fees and no unlimited data. sad

went on craigslist and i guess the 4g for tmobiles are way better than and more valuable than the 4g's of the atnts. been 5 days since i last posted and no call or text. *sigh*

anyways. thanks Carlrobling :D thats a thank you button.
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
What are you talking about no unlimited data?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Carlrobling:
You just need to find someone switching to ATT. An even trade would prolly happen. But to trade ATT to tmobile for someone on tmobile you'll prolly have to add some cash. I'd delete the other post repost and add that you may add cash for the right trade. Although I wouldn't add much.

So, I installed Juwe's ROM and now that I have it installed... well... to me it just seems like a compilation for the lazy. Dont get me wrong, i really appreciate the work done by all chefs but, theres no real reason to use them. Or at least I think.

I believe if I flash a stock firmware and apply a custom kernel the results will be much better. Many of the "features" of these roms are thanks to the kernels flashed in them, and can be done manually. Also, I think many of the cosmetic improvements are not my cup of tea, and I much prefer the stock samsung animations, etc.

Please correct me if i'm wrong, or well help me out choose what to do. I'm not eager to reflash my firmware all over again. I would just like to flash something on my phone and never have to reflash again.

-Nestor
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossy1963:
exactly....if you have the time and knowledge do it yourself....if not flash any of the custom roms prepared by the rom "chefs" out there....and be grateful for the opportunity (I suspect you underestimate the amount of work and intellect that these guys have invested in their custom roms...far more than just different kernels and basic cosmetics as you suggest)

Unless i am mistaken you have stated the obvious...if not, what is your point?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neswii:
Oh, yes. I wasnt really obvious on what i wanted to do. Well, I see all of the things my rom has installed, and see that im still having some bugs, etc, and, well I cant diagnose where are they coming from. Is it my apps fault, etc, since all these modifications are done and all of these apps installed and now I really dont know what caused what.

So I think, what if some of the stuff that was done was unnecessary? What if just flashing to stock, and then adding stuff one by one until im satisfied will rid me of most of my problems?

I must admit I relate the rom chefs with the people from the pirate bay who give you modified versions of windows, with all the necessary stuff done, but you can get a fresh copy of windows and get much better results on most cases.

I mean no disrespect to anyone's intelect, or ego. Im a really new guy myself, but the more I learn the more I realize, maybe the best way to go is just flash stock, root, get a new kernel and all will be peachy. That sounds too easy though. So i raised this discussion to see what do people think.

Edit: Well, after reflashing and doing some stuff, like repartitioning tried some custom kernels and ended up bootlooping my phone, and after much frustration, I reflashed Juwe's. Now I can appreciate how well this works. The couple of erros may have been caused by not repartitioning the first time. Now Im very happy with how my phone is working. Hopefully, this is the last firmware i ever flash.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Flash the rooted version of the update. Deodexed if you want to theme/modify it, odexed otherwise.

Do a nandroid backup first, just to be safe. I would think you could just wipe cache and dalvik cache since technically it's an update. If you get bootloops, restore from your backup if you want to back up your apps/data with Titanium Backup. Then wipe data, cache and dalvik and flash again. If you've already backed up whatever you want to save, or if you don't care about saving your apps, you can go ahead and wipe everything and reflash without restoring.

EDIT: And there are directions for this, you just have to actually search.

Similar Q: Upgrading Froyo to GB but keeping Root.

OK, maybe its good to post this here since it relates. I have searched but didn't find any instructions covering my question:

I have downgraded my HTC Desire Z from Gingerbread to Frodo and obtained root, S-OFF, etc, using gfree. I know I can upgrade back to gingerbread and want to do this but only if I can do it without losing root. I've seen lots of posts saying gingerbread can't be rooted and one or two saying it can, but not how. [and I think these are possibly just by noobs who dont know better], and others that deal with the upgrade but simply don't say if root will be lost. I assume that if I just install the OTA update offered by HTC, that will undo everything I just did in downgrading and getting root. If I understand correctly, having root is mostly a property of the bootloader and its configuration, so is it possible to re-install gingerbread but without overwriting the bootloader so as to keep root? THANKS!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikestony:

[HD7 General] Dragon Queen:
You will have to let us know how it compares to the Fuze, screen apparence, physical keyboard vs the on screen. How is the vibration comparitively? Supposedly they upgraded the camera also, so will you let us in on all the hardware goodies, pretty please?
[HD7 General] derylmccarty:
Got it !!

The HD7S is not a bad PDA - I am happy. Nice workmanship, feels solid. The vibrator is lighter than the Tilt 2 and the Fuze, but I can still feel it in my pocket. The screen is definitely bright enough for me (my eyes seem to be having some sort of increasing birthday issues) and the font crisp and well contrasted. The phone works and gets good reception at the house. (NOTE: The reason I use AT&T is that after trying others they consistently give me 2-3 bars at home vice 0-1 with the others). Call quality is good.

The only negative surprise is minor. The USB connection on the HD7S is micro not mini, so I have to get a mini-to-micro adapter or a second USB cable so I can charge it at night at bedside (so I can also answer it) and have a cable connected to the PC to sync with.

I have a LOT of work to do to configure and get WP7 the way I want it, but that is the fun of owning a new phone.

I will likely miss NRG and the new ROM loads 2-3 times per month, but a (much) faster, more capable PDA and operating system is not a bad thing. Besides, my wife now has the Tilt 2 so I can still install new NRG ROMs to my heart's content.

For now, I'm a happy camper.
