[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dd1989:
Hi,

I made a thread the other day but it appeared to have been deleted before I even got home (made the thread on my phone).

I have used CM for a long time now and in the start I enjoyed 720p video recording on my Desire. Now CM does not have this feature and it is something I like.

I have become accustomed to the later versions of Android, so 2.3.x is a must.

The issue of Sense UI is something I'm not too bothered about, what what I hate is Teeter, Friendstream, HTC widgets etc. In the past people have said remove them but it seems that Friendstream can never truly be removed and it has caused me a lot of force closes after removing it in the past from other ROMs.

So, in short. I'd like the latest version of Android possible for my Desire, with 720p video recording, with the stock version of Android if possible.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopGear63z:
I myself love insertcoin, but you don't want sense so i would recommend OpenDesire rom

it has 720p recording http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712615< the link to it;)

Edit: you wanted gingerbread, use gingervillianhttp://http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=880465
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahman45:
even 480p in gingerbread rom is messed up.. so 720p...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Here you go:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988570

This information is just wrong. Gingervillian is an aosp rom. And there isn't any aosp rom which supports 720p recording. You have to use a sense rom to get 720p recording.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dd1989:
So I installed the Sense ROM, however it contains Teeter and Friendstream. I just do not want these on my phone at all, they're total junk when I can have the proper apps from Facebook and Twitter.

I tried to edit the Zip file before I put it on my phone. Unpacked the zip, removed the apps I did not want then rezipped. Transferred it to my phone however now it just will not install from that Zip.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dd1989:
Anyone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
Well, today I converted from iP4 to Android. Very nice. My rooting experience went without a hiccup.

Phone is showing Wifi connected, and in settings says connected under my network name. I wan't to install the ATT radio, and did it through the hack kit v11 under options, but no go. My understanding is I download ROMS from the phones browser and move them to the SD and flash. This is all done from the phone, from my understanding after hours of reading. BUT, I can't get on the internet, so how can I repair?

Thanks

Try turning on airplane mode for 20 seconds if not check out the radio thread on the dev forum..

And download the files for whatever radio you desire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
Forgot to mention that I did try Airplane mode as well as a reboot. Also, no cellular service on the device until I get a sim adapter so I can pop my iP4 sim in. Until then, only Wifi, which you already know is not working.
[HTC Inspire 4G] eramming:
Download the files on your computer then transfer them to the SD card on your phone then flash the radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
Thanks! I checked the Dev radio thread and found this info:

AT&T Stock Radio - Released with the phone

Radio OS Base: FroYo

Radio: 12.39.60.19x_26.06.04.06_M

My radio is: 12.39.60.19U_26.06.04.06_M

I'm a bit confused how it doesn't work then.

NOW, excuse my ignorance but I do not have a micro-sd adapter for my computer. Can I place the file on the card through mount as disk drive? Which folder do I put the file in?
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
You can transfer the file when using the disk drive option. Place the file in the root of the card.

Sent from my Inspire using the power of the dark side.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
Alright, not to be a pain in the ass, but could someone please direct me to a write up on flashing the radio, with the file placed on the sd via disk drive file transfer?

When plugged in the the computer and opening the disk, this is what I got..

ROManager IS on my device. I can not find how to navigate to root to place the radio file in. Hopefully once I get through this, it was in fact the problem and does fix it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Are you still on the downgraded rom from the root process? I have seen a few people have wifi issues with it. Once they flashed to something else their issues went away. Maybe your in the same situation. You should flash attn1 stock rooted rom, unless you already have a custom rom in mine then try that and see it your wifi issues persist

No hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
What you show is the root of your SD. Just drag it over and make sure that it is not in a folder. Also verify the md5 sum with either astro file manager or android file verifier from the market. Make sure that they match from what was posted in the radio thread

No hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
The problem is this phone has no way to access data. Wifi is broken, and no cell service until I get a SIM adapter. Maybe if I flash a different ROM it will fix my problem? I am on the downgraded ROM after rooting.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Sorry had a blonde moment. You can verify the md5 sum from your Mac. Theirs a way using terminal . Open terminal type md5 hit space then drag n drop your file into terminal then enter/return. Flashing a rom "should" solve your problem but like I said I've only seen this issue arise a few times

No hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
I'm downloading clear droid right now. Hopefully this works..flashing radio's sounds very risky.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Well the risk is that if you flash a corrupted radio it has the potential to brick your phone. But that's what the md5check is for. This will allow you to verify that its not corrupted when you downloaded the file. Sometimes for whatever reason it might have not downloaded correctly or completely, this gives you a way to check

No hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
I was reading here in the Dev section that you will brick your phone if the radio file didn't match a seperate file? Do you only install one, or two files when flashing radio? Also, reading the ClearDroid rom info as it is downloading, it says to flash radio through hboot.

Boy, Android is more fun..but a LOT more complicated than my iP4.

EDIT: Placed ROM in root folder and tried "install rom from sd card" in rom manager. It said I must install clockworkmod recovery first. CANT install it because I have NO way to connect to the internet!
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
If the md5 sum doesn't match then theirs potential for a problem.

For for radios their are two files. Theirs the radio and them ril. Its generally recommended that you flash corresponding files for better results. In the radio thread they have the radio followed by the corresponding ril.

I have seen people use different radios with different rils but only a small handful. Radios are a little finicky what works for me doesn't necessarily work for you.

At first all this android rooting is alot to take in. I too came from an iPhone. But once you get the basics and terminalogy it gets much easier

No hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Your going to have to manually going.to recovery. Power down your device. Press volume down and the power button. Then scroll down to recovery. Make sure you don't have a file named pd98img.

Then wipe data. Go into advanced wipe dalvik. Now go to install from SD card and flash

No hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
You can flash the Rom from hboot but it needs to be named pd98img.zip. If you go into Bubby's faq, you can download a stock rooted rom that includes CWM recovery. It should give you enough functionality to load any Rom you choose.

Sent from my Inspire using the power of the dark side.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
What is this doing if I do this? Is there a way to install the ClearDroid ROM folder (not zip) from here? I'm in the menu right now..
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
You should do as previously suggested. Go to the dev forum and get attn1's stock rom. Look for ACE_Cingular_US. This is a rom and radio, the latest with both, that can be flashed thru bootloader. It fixes everything, so you will have wifi. Then you can download what you need if you want to flash a custom rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
This is will install cleardroid. Its the manual way without rom manager. The rom should be a zip file. Not a folder so make sure to not extract/unzip

No hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
Dumb question but the only way I can load the boot window is by power down and remove/insert battery then vol down and power button. When I select power off option, it turns off and as soon as I click the power it turns on so quick as if it was locked?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Go Into your settings and turn off fastboot. That will fix that issue

No hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
This community is the best :D The rom was not zipped. I just zipped it and put it to root. I'm going to try the rom right now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
The rom are zipped. I think Macs automatically unzip them if using safari. I think you should redownload with a different browser. I'm don't know if an issue will arise if its unzipped then rezipped

No hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
..Well, I can't install the zipped file. Wen't to recovery>install from sdcard

Am I missing a few steps to install this ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
I should have caught this. But clear Droid needs the older recovery. Feel like a noob. Ok.here's the plan if its ok with you. Lets flash attn1 rom. Then we can go from their?

No hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
I really appreciate your help!

I'm downloading his rom right now http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058042

So, I just rename the zip to PD98IMG.zip place it on root sd, and when I boot it will auto prompt to install?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Roms that are froyo based need recover 2.x. newer recoveries dropped froyo support and can only install gingerbread bases roms which you have.

Yes that's it.. I recommend the sl version. Choose the mirror one as that one has a faster server.

Edit- make sure that it doesn't get unzipped first. Try downloading it with Firefox if you have it

No hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
Update in progress ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
HA! Six hours later, we got internet! Thanks. ROM manager app is gone. Is there an easy way to see if I am still rooted? Hold power/vol down?

EDIT: wait, it looks like this un roots the phone? Nothing happens with power/vol down..
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Sweet! That rom is prerooted. It already has the superuser APk. I should have caught that cleardroid issue earlier.

Edit- make sure to turn off fastboot again. And you should be able to go back into hboot screen.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
How to go about installing custom rom now? Do I have to download ROM manager from somewhere? If so, where? When I rooted it earlier it was installed automatically.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Just download rom manager from the market now that you have internet access. As to installing custom roms you can do it through rom manager or manually through recovery. I prefer manually myself. When flashing roms make sure to do full wipes. Check out the sticky above and it has a step by step on how to flash roms. Also each rom in the original post should have step by step. Its essentially the same process as in the sticky but some alter it a bit

No hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
VERY good read! I wish I had found that sticky around 4pm when I was trying to find a good write up on rom installs. I just ran cyano rom. Worked great. I backed up with Titanium, but do I need to download the Titanium again from the market to get my saved apps back? It was not listed after installing the new ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Correct. Reinstall titanium backup and then you can reinstall your apps.

Also if you choose for Google to backup your stuff each time you flash a rom ad sign back in it will automatically redownload all your apps.

No hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
After re downloading, it has the smilie next to all my apps, so they're backed up..I just don't see an option to reinstall them.

Anyway, with ROM Manager, what is the difference between Manage and Resore Backups, versus the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery? Do they both accomplish the same thing? I've gotten to a comfortable point with the phone setup now, so I did a "Backup current ROM".
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
I personally don't use titanium backup. But I believe the smily. Is that its backed up. Just click on the app then hit restore.

As to your other questions flash clockwork recovery is not for making back up. That is used to flash the clockwork recovery image. That black screen with orange text. While the other is to create an actual nandroid backup.

No hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ray J Neal:
I put leedroid rom on and found when shutting off phone I am given the option to go to bootloader or recovery. What is the difference between the two?

On another note, is there a good write up (like the rom one stickied in this section) for flashing radios? Would it be done the same way you flash roms?
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Recovery takes you directly into ClockWorkMod. Bootloader takes you into the bootloader / hboot. Depending on what you are doing / recovering / flashing, these are just quicker ways to get to either one of the two. don't be afraid mayne! Punch some buttons and try it out :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
As said above just a shortcut to get into hboot/bootloader(white background for flashing pd98imgs-radios,ruus,bootsplashes) and recovery(black background orange text-used for flashing roms, rils, mods)

What's the best way to migrate all of my stuff on the stock 8GB card to a newer 16GB card? Can I just do it over the PC? With the amount of stuff that's probably hidden on there, I don't want to miss anything
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
The fastest is to take the cards out and put them in a card reader. Just copy the old card's contents to a directory on your PC then put in the new card and copy the contents from your PC to the new card. Change the Removal Policy to faster performance and enable write caching for faster transfers(in Windows). Write speeds while in the Sensation4g were slow as hell - 1Mb per sec while connected via USB.

To get to the Removal Policy - right click on the disk in explorer - Properties - Hardware Tab - Choose the device that has your card in it - Policies Tab
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
So going through the PC it will catch everything, even hidden files. I know in theory it should work, just wondering if in practice it does.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Hidden files in linux are just named starting with a period

.file

.folderA/.file

There's no special stuff to lose. Unless you had some weird filesystem on your sd card that your pc can't read it should be no problem.

The only problem you may have is with file names that include characters that can't be displayed or exceed your filesystem's limits. I've consistently gotten errors on cache files in multiple file directories on my sd card that were nested like 15 directories deep with long names and exceeded the character limitation for ntfs (255 utf-16 chars). They were not important files at all.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Good to know. Never messed with Linux before (may change soon). Will move everything over tomorrow when I have time. Thanks Master Pimp of the Gorillas! :D

When I get to a computer
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
you could do it on the command line in the android terminal as well:

things are assigned in a group of 3 (sometimes 4, but not important right now) numbers (xxx). The first number from the left is for the assigned user (owner) of the file, the next is for the assigned group, and the last number is for everyone else.

chmod 777 filename = read/write/execute on assigned user/group/everyone else

chmod 776 filename = read/write/execute on assigned user/group and read & write only for everyone else

chmod 775 filename = read/write/execute on assigned user/group/and execute & read on everyone else

chmod 774 filename = same as above but only read for everyone else

chmod 772 filename = same as above but only write only for everyone else

chmod 771 filename = same as above but only execute only for everyone else

chmod 770 filename = full perms for user/group only

How do you get those numbers? Well they're hexadecimal, but that's not overly important. Basically read=4, write=2, execute=1. So 4+2+1=7 and so on.

follows the same pattern for things after that, just read here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_permissions
