[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Urban Disciple:
Hello :) I am new to this whole (Mod ) thing and until I bought a Pre Modded G2x I never new it even existed. The first ability to change how your screen transitions got me hooked completely ! I am posting this for the simple fact of Not Understanding

I have viewed several ways to Mod the G2 but none I could understand and I fear Bricking my phone which would not please me the slightest. I was stuck when I read

ABD

Most of the other terms i got. Is there anyone here willing to Chat via Skype or Email IM to help me Root this and eventually install a nice MOD onto my PHone, or simply put How to mod the G2 in - Noob -

Ps. I really like Cyanogen if you want to tell me what you think about that MOD i would be more than happy to Listen

I would GREATLY appreciate it and THANKS !
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
For chat go here http://webchat.freenode.net/ then for channels type G2ROOT

There will be plenty of people who can assist you during the root process.

ADB = Android Debug Bridge. It's comprised of your phone (that has Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging enabled) connected to a PC that has the Android SDK (software developers kit) installed. It's just a link between your PC and your phone that allows you to do some manual commands (unless you use terminal emulator on the phone) that we can use to gain root access. Once your phone is connected you can type adb <command> from a command prompt (eg start > run > cmd.exe)

Try using the guide I posted. So far a lot of people have managed to get their phones rooted using it and I tried to make it as simple as possible.

The guide in the wiki is very straight forward and is the safest means to root as it was developed by the devs who actually found the means to root the device. The only way you can screw anything up is if you mistype something so please, please double check your typing.

Your best bet is to read up, and understand as much as you can. If there is something you don't understand, run a search on this forum's search function. If you REALLY can't find it, after legitimate attempts to use the search function, then come on here and ask. This is how most of us figured out how to mod our phones when we first started. As hinted at in the video in post #3 above, there are thousands of users here, and lots of newcomers trying to figure out how to root their phones. If those in the know spent their time leading people by the hand over Skype, they wouldn't have time for anything else. People have already spent lots of time writing guides, so put them to good use.

UPDATE

So yesterday after 5 long hours someone was willing to Completely walk me through which really helped. I understand the basics to rooting a phone now. The net question is a few. I need help deciding the Mod I will use. I messed with Cyanogen before but heard many good things of others. What are a few Favorites, or recommendations. And how would I go about installing it so I dont lost the android market. Also if I want to take off a Mod how would I go about doing that
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
First off, download ROM Manager from the Market and, once installed, use it to flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Once that is done, use it to make a backup of your existing ROM.

ROM Manager has many great ROMs listed and you can read reviews of them and flash them via the app. The sticky in the dev forum has a list of many other downloadable ROMs, many of which aren't already listed in ROM Manager.

To go back to the ROM you're on, just restore the backup you made.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stev3-o:
So I have been running two 3500mah batteries from 2 different vendor and one hold a lot more charge than the other, probably a faulty one. Went ahead ordered two more extended for longer usage.

Does anyone have really good experience from ebay seller that you get the same consistent quality every time you order or is it a hit / miss situation?

Can the kernel play any role on a different capacity battery?

People that run multiple 3500 mahs, do they run relatively same? do you wipe battery stat every time you swap?

I can get 40-50 hrs with light wifi radio use

I got a good battery from http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260798018307&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

a bad one from http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220771384257&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

It's only bad because it doesn't hold as much charge, and when you use it for a a few task the battery would drop 1-3% just because maybe using it updated the percentage? but this happens a lot after it goes on stand-by.

It could've just been a bad batch.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brievolz84:
The kernel definitely doesn't effect battery capacities; however, I do believe it can effect the rate of consumption depending on the coding, if I'm not mistaken. During my experiences with eBay non-oem batteries is that they aren't great quality and fail a hell of a lot faster than oem batteries. I do a lot of research before I buy so that's saying something...hope this helps
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stev3-o:
Theoretically the battery can last longer or shorter depending on that setting.

The oem does pretty well holding its charge.

How long does your battery last and which rom?

Where do you get your supply from?

Model : EB575152VA is what I'm seeing being sold from a few places and what came with my phone.

Wonder if that's what you have?

Is there a way to partition the SD card in such a way that the EVO can access it for RAM? Running some of the newer sense 2.1 and 3.0 roms my RAM tends to dip down as low as almost 50MB free, and I'm constantly having to kill tasks to free up more. Any ideas?

Not really. RAM and storage are different things. Granted, there is the concept of a swap file, but I don't think that's something people generally see as very useful in Android. See this article:

[Thunderbolt General] spg900ny:
Can't post in the dev boards so I'm putting this here for the CM7 folks....

So I had been using das bamf stripped since getting my thunderbolt and had a few minor issues with it but really liked it overall. Eventually decided to try the MR2 radio with the new full sense 3.0 but it didn't play nice in my car dock.

Decided to try CM7 again and boy am I glad I did. Everything seems to be running great (well, apart from 4G but I can live without it for a bit).

Its like I have my original Droid back, only with a bigger screen and better speed!! I don't know why I didn't take a chance on it earlier!

Thanks to the CM7 team for giving me back the GUI I love!! Nice to have all the vanilla apps back that I'm so comfortable with!!

[Thunderbolt General] NotMatt:
I'm gonna chime in and say I've been running CM7 on my t-bolt since the pre-alpha releases and have been happy as a clam. No 4G here, so that didn't bother me. Some little bugs here and there but this is a solid AOSP rom. I just can't get used to Sense, and after coming from an Evo 4G to the Thunderbolt, was a little disappointed that CM7 was so immature... but once I tried it, I realized that it worked great and now I'm happily back in CyanogenMod land and won't look back.

[Thunderbolt General] spg900ny:
Spoke too soon. I saw 4G on my way into work this morning, but haven't been able to get it since then... :(

Maybe I'll try the MR2.5 radio? I'm on MR2 now and it's been good with das BAMF stripped...
[Thunderbolt General] spazma7ik:
I totally agree, this latest release is awesome! I'm having no qualms and feeling as comfortable as I did with CM on my OG Droid.
[Thunderbolt General] spg900ny:
I went to the 2.5 radio last night and got 4G on my way in this morning. Handoff seemed better, but I decided to go back to the original (non-leaked) MR1 radio so I'm doing that now.

Network Location Services thought I was in Morocco. I was wondering why it was only 75 degrees suddenly instead of the 95 or so it was here yesterday. :)

I see this is a common issue with the 7/6 build. Now that I can post in the Cyanogenmod thread, I'm going to take the rest there.

Thanks again, CM7 team for giving us a great alternative for great hardware!!

Doubleshot

​

Based on the official MyTouch 4G Slide shipping ROM (Doubleshot_TMOUS_1.01.531.1).

Native rotating Rosie (launcher) support. (DesireZ/G2 and MT4G only).

Ported for full functionality on each supported device.

Heavily optimized for fluid performance and usability.

Overclocked kernels with numerous additional kernel modules.

Built-in screen state frequency scaling (1.2Ghz-245MHz/ondemand screen-on, 806Mhz-245Mz/conservative screen-off), via custom built Virtuous_OC C daemon.

Trackpad wake support (DesireZ/G2 and MT4G only).

WiFi calling (T-Mobile USA only).

Fully functional device hardware, including wifi, bluetooth, camera, camcorder, etc.

Market-sourced applications (Gmail, Maps, Voice, etc) automatically installed on first boot into /data/app for easy removal.

Bloatware and unnecessary applications removed.

Desire HD

Desire Z / T-Mobile G2

Virtuous Doubleshot, or any components therein, may not be ported to other devices without explicit email approval from the development team. We will be approving ports, presuming the develop of a given port is ready and willing to follow the same revision control and release processes currently employed existing devices.

For Vision users,

the DesireZ hboot is REQUIRED

. I have written a guide for G2 users who need to make this transition.

If you are experiencing random freezes and/or reboots, this is likely due to your device being incapable of handling our overclocking defaults. Download and apply this flashable patch, which will reduce the maximum CPU frequency to 1Ghz and likely eliminate this issue.

You must complete a full wipe prior to installing this ROM the first time. We also recommend wiping between upgrades, but you are welcome to try upgrading without a wipe. However, no support will be provided if you file a bug without having wiped prior to submission.

Disconnect your USB cable prior to the first boot, otherwise the Market apps do not install. This is because the default USB connection mode is "Disk Drive". We will resolve this issue in a future release.

(Please remember to hit the "Thanks" button if you download the ROM)​
[Desire HD Android Development] mdeejay:
v.1.0.1:
- Initial release

This ROM features a completely new way of Overclocking and managing screen states.

The History

But before explaining it further, let's talk about previous solutions.

There are several different approaches to archieve "screen-state-scaling".

That means basically that the govenor changes if you turn the screen off and changes back to normal when turning the screen on.

This is mainly used to restrict the amount of CPU usage (the frequency in fact) during screen off. This can lead to a major battery life increase.

The solutions so far were:

App like SetCPU, which change automatically the govenor based on profiles

integrated solutions in the govenor itself

Both these solutions have major problems.

The one with a tuner app is always a little laggy right after turning on the screen because SetCPU (or any other CPU tuner) needs some time to change the govenors (up to 7 seconds). This leads mostly to major lag in the lockscreen.

The second solution is the smartass govenor. It has already a screen-state-scaling included, so it reduces the frequency when the screen turn off.

This could be a really nice solution but it has some problems too.

Smartass most of the time is not really stable and has problems with its frequency scaling.

State-of-the-art-solution

So we (more precisely rmk40) thought of a better solution.

He wrote a native C Daemon which changes the govenors

instantly without any lag.

This leads to

major performance improvements

right after turning on the screen and in the lockscreen.

But at the moment this solution is a little bit harder to configure. We are plaing to make a GUI for this, so you get the same comfort as using SetCPU.

Nevertheless you can even now adjust the daemon to your needs.

Be aware that the daemon only works if all CPU tuner apps are deinstalled. Otherwise it deactivates itself.

The daemon is configured with 6 files in the folder /system/etc/virtuous_oc/.

There are 3 files for the wake state and 3 for the sleep state. For each state one file for the govenor, one for the minimal frequency and one for the maximal frequency.

You can easily edit these files eg. with RootExplorer or any other app which can edit system files. So you can adjust the frequencies and the govenor for each state just like with SetCPU.

In order to get the available frequencies for the current kernel, just open your favorite terminal app and type

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies

You could also use adb shell to show the frequencies on your computer.

To get the available govenors use a similar approach:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors

Please make sure, you are entering the right values in the daemon's config files.

Tried. Indeed it's a decent ROM and seems lighter than Virtuous Unity. The only thing is that I like to change pcs density to 200. The only ROM works best is Virtuous unity. Only have very mionor gap in phone pad. No problem on unlock screen dialpad. Hope this ROM can eventually support 200 density.

I´ve got a Problem with Contacts and Active Sync.

The Contact Sync with my Exchange Server won´t stop, the phone sync every contact 10 - 15 Times and i have duplicates in my phone book.

Any solution?
[Desire HD Android Development] tahiriqbal:
Duplicate entries in phone book may have also synced with Google Contacts if you have setup Google account. There is a solution if you have Google Contacts setup:

1. Log in to Gmail and click on Contacts

2. From contacts click on "More Actions" and from there click on Restore Contacts to the date when your contacts where fine. But doing this might override any contacts you may have added after the date you want to restore to.

3. you can then clear the data on Contacts and re-sync from Google. If that doesn't work, you can factory reset and sync again.

I had this duplicate contacts issue on device which got synced with Google and every contact appeared multiple times, so restoring fixed it.

Hope it helps.
[Desire HD Android Development] MX-Hero:
I have a gmail account. But i don´t sync contacts with it.

For contact sync i use my exchange server. Google contacts is empty. The Problems with the active sync are only with this rom. After 7 Minutes of syncing i´ve got >3250! contacts in my phone book. And the sync goes on.... normaly i´ve got 150 contacts.

i will try a factory reset after flashing...
[Desire HD Android Development] MX-Hero:
Now it works for me.

i´ve done a factory reset after flashing this rom and after that i´ve done a second reboot before i configure my exchange account. Now it works fine.
