I for one offered to help you, just not in this section. Telling people to F... off doesn't help either, in fact it's worst. While people are tired of getting flamed for posting in the wrong section people are also tired of sorting through Q&A threads to find threads that actually have to do with development, that's what we have sections for. I for one try to be civil with these sort of things, and while it's primarily the job of the moderators to move and or close threads as community members we have to police ourselves as well. The rudeness on both sides should stop, but....people should post in the correct sections too ;)

Edit: I see the mods moved the thread, all is well that ends well.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodOlTarvis:
Hello there, I recently flashed CM6 to my G1 and used Zeam for a faster launcher, but friends are telling me that when they used CM6, their phone got slower and slower as time went on, and that I should seek alternatives.

I hear one of the best Android 2.2 roms out there is Froyo by Laszlo, and from reading it seems the only major difference is that it can use the more recent radio/spl/kernel which adds 15MB, and that it's generally lighter than CM6 as well.

Can anyone give me a rundown on what some of the other major differences are? I also hear other good ones are ezterry's AOSP and Froyo for Trout.

As for upgrading the Radio and SPL needed for Froyo by Laszlo:

Considering I have DangerSPL (HBOOT-1.33.2005), RA's Recovery, and Radio 2.22.23.02, is there anything extra I need to worry about other than what's outlined in this thread?

Thanks in advance.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodOlTarvis:
I did look at the thread, but it still doesn't say what makes it so different.

I suppose the best way to know for sure is to try it for myself, so thanks for clarifying.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxamillion:
I have not tried froyo by laszlo, but i have tried cm6 , so i cant tell what the difference is, but another major difference is that froyo by laszlo has apps2sdext, which allows you to install apps in a ext3 or ext 4 partition on your sd card, while cm6 does not.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodOlTarvis:
I noticed that, does it set up the partitions for you, or will I have to do this myself? What would a good size for them be?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodOlTarvis:
Okay, thanks for that, I'm going to try it now.

EDIT: Last question, does the updated kernel for 2708 come pre-installed with Froyo by Laszlo or does that have to be done separately as well?

EDIT2: D'oh, nevermind, I saw it in the features list. Right now it's booting, hope it works!

EDIT3: Wow, they weren't lying, Laszlo did a great job, it's lightning fast! I'm not partial to the theme choice, but I know this can be changed easily.

Thanks for your help.

I do have a few more questions though;

1. How do I revert to the Android 2.2 Google Market? The new one feels a bit too cluttered to me, and flashing CM6 Google Apps did not change this

Thanks in advance.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
ok my personal opinion... froyobylaszlo the BEST froyo rom hands down... only issue i find is that the developer stopped updating soo you can take it upon yourself to make changes if you dont like it.. but still to this day i thinks its the best.. sorry to offend anyone by saying that but its only my personal opinion... lazslo rom is just so smooth and stable..

my sd was 128mb swap and 1024mb ext4 and i used this kernel... http://www.4shared.com/file/1j_4eg7x/ezBiffTestKernel20110222-2708_.html

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsteenson:
I may be in the same situation and would like to know how you solved your problem.

I rooted successfully and was running the Gingersense rom with the stock kernel. I wanted to OC a kernel so I downloaded one that I think was intended to run with MIUI. I made a backup so I figured if the kernel didn't work I could always go back.

After installing the new kernel I went into a boot loop. I pulled the battery, got into recovery and tried to restore a backup, but now I freeze on the HTC screen. I've tried three different backups and none of them work -- all freeze on the HTC screen.

I am becoming desperate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] k_nivesout:
Have you tried wiping everything (including /system under "mounts and storage") before restoring the backup? Or tried flashing a different rom? Probably happened because the kernels for AOSP roms and sense roms aren't interchangeable. I would think that restoring a backup would rewrite the boot partition though, which should fix it..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsteenson:
I wiped everything (did data wipe/factory resets as well as wiping everything individually, several times) and could never get any of my backups to work.

I finally copied CM7.1 beta onto the SD card and flashed that (after first having to scrounge to find a card reader and computer that would read an SDHC card) and that worked.

I tried restoring one of my previous backups over CM7.1 (with and without wiping) and went back to freezing on the HTC screen again on each one of them. Don't understand that, since everything was working fine when those backups were made.

Anyway, now I'm using CM7.1 and have a working phone again.

I followed multiple steps for installing perm root on a friends Mytouch and for some reason we could not get the s-off feature to work. I noticed too we do have SU access via adb or terminal but I still never could get s-off. After we got root we used rom manager to install clockwork and after the fact it installed 3.0.2 i believe it completely borked the recovery. I stepped it down to 3.0.0 and still had the same issue. The main reason i wanted to get s-off was to adb flash the recovery but I got a signature fail. Any ideas or suggestions to get this working correctly? Rom Manager will not let me install 2x cwm basically stating it can not install it period. I also tried the batch file root method same issue. Thanks for your help in advance.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Please look at the "True permaroot and S-OFF" thread in Development section, and execute step-by-step.

If your friend's MT4G is running Gingerbread (Android 2.3.3), you'll need to use Gingerbreak instead of Visionary+ to get root access.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
If you are following the ./gfree method step by step it will root your phone.

If you are using the root.sh script and it's not working chances are you may have a bad eMMC chipset and it will not root properly.

I know HTC said they would be pushing a update to close the exploit hole that is used to root our phones but i don't think it's been pushed yet.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] assasinbob:
You might try finding someone who put together a .zip that can be flashed through the android recovery(white screen with boot options, etc.). Otherwise you can get the RUU and return to stock. After that follow the directions step by step and DO NOT mix methods. This should result in an S-OFF root, if you did your homework correctly.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
As someone already explained before, when the security is on, no matter the amount of flashing you're going to try - it won't get you anywhere, since it won't be written to the actual ROM, and will be gone on restart.

Unless you pick a guide, follow it exactly, and post here everything that doesn't look proper - I don't think the forum can help you much.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
What does your bootloader show when you boot into it?

For the root to stick after boot, you had to have S-OFF, otherwise the eMMC wouldn't have been written to.

Having no info from you, as I said, it's impossible to help. If all this thread is just a complaint - by all means, but in that case there's no point in helping you. If you want help - you need to provide enough details for people to help you. Obviously, nobody can figure out anything from "I can't get s-off".

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
You need to tell us what errors you are getting. That's the only way we can help you. As Jack_R1 and i stated earlier. With out that information we can no longer provide any assistance.

To root your phone using the root.sh you need to download the attached .zip and store just the root folder along with it's content onto the root of your SD card.

View attachment 633185

Open your command prompt. Making sure your SD Card is mounted to your computer.

What ever you see in the code boxes type out on your ADB command prompt

adb shell

su

cd /sdcard/root

sh root.sh

after you do that your screen should look something like

[Thunderbolt General] jfarrell:
Several times after I flash a new ROM, I get an error when trying to setup Chrome To Phone, "Unable to connect."

When I have issues with something in a new ROM, I generally have a pretty standard course of action:

Reboot, uninstall / reinstall, clear application data, fiddle with restoring app and data with Titanium Backup...

The only thing that was working with Chrome To Phone was restoring data, then disconneting the phone in settings, and re-adding my gmail address.

However when I upgraded from DAS BAMF Remix 2.0b6 to Remix 2.1 that trick didn't work. What did work was restoring to my previous ROM, verified Chrome To Phone still worked, disconnected the phone, restore my new ROM, and reconnect my gmail account. This worked great.
[Thunderbolt General] scottricketts:
I don't have a working ROM to restore to, any luck getting it to connect any other way. It's driving me crazy!

No, I don't, sorry. Most of the time I just restore Chrome To Phone with Titanium Backup, data and all. I then disconnect the phone and readd it. Had to do that today when I flashed a new version. I have always gotten into the habit of backing up before I flash a new ROM.

Only thing I can think of maybe flashing to a ROM that it was working on, and try tge restore data trick. Might be a hail mary, but it might work.

It´s my first SmartPhone and I've been having a lot of fun exploring the possibilities, testing every piece of software that caught my interest... and it´s really fantastic what these small devices can do to make your life easier!

It´s also my first post, so I´m a bit lost, not knowing if this is the correct place to make this request I´m about to do, therefore, sorry for any inconvenience!

Well, I Love my Topaz... it´s really cool, but, Manila 2.5??!?!?! It´s good looking but it lacks de 3D flickering contact list, wich I love to see and use, when I bought the Topaz it had manila 2.1 3D flickering contacts... than updated... no more flickering around contacts! so sad. :( Also, I think the weather visual effects on manila 2.5, causes it to be slower. Since then I´ve been trying to get manila 2.1 to instal in my device, but I´ve learnt such is not possible as a complete ROM is necessary, for the manila as a standalone application, does not work well!

This takes me to my request!

Would someone, please, cook for me a ROM?

I´ve been looking to learn with foruns and users experiences, but there´s always something missing or something else not to do... I´m not risking!

So I leave here a request if someone could cook for me a ROM windows mobile 6.5 latest updates, but... with manila 2.1 instead of manila 2.5?!

Okay this is my first post. I am sorry if you are sick of hearing about this. I really am. But this issue is a killer for me.I have searched Google and this forum to the best of my ability.

I have a new Nexus S that i just received a two weeks ago. It has all the updates. It is the Sprint one.

I have the dreaded SMS issue where you think you are replying to person A in a thread but the message goes to person B. However, in your thread it looks like it went to person A.

I realize this has been covered over and over and over. But it seems Google is not focusing on this. I do not think I have to point out all the potential problems this can cause. I can recreate this at will. Basically texting two people in two different threads at the same time causes the issue. In other words having two text conversations at once. As I can create the issue at will I am puzzled as to why google can't fix this?

I saw one post here that says a third party app called GO SMS fixes it. However, I also have seen many posts that says Handcent fixes it. No go. Happens on the Droid SMS and Handcent apps for me.

I am familiar with the Google code thread number 9392...

Seems to be many years old, many complaints and no fix.

Am I missing the fix? Can anyone point me to solutions that have worked for them or ones found here?

I love everything about the phone but this. If I return the phone Sprint will jack me for a $35 restock fee. I like the phone but man this bug is sure a deal breaker.

Or at least own up to it in a statement and acknowledge they know about the issue and are working to fix it.
