den unfreeze it if your gonig to use it :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] BobbyLoblaw:
Afaik Titanium Backup is for rooted phones. Mine is not, as i said i'm using official 2.3.3. I don't know if i'm gonna root it atm just for using titanium backup.

I still hope there is another workaround that doesn't involve rooting the phone.

well then.. root it ^__^

try this app BetterBatteryStats. It's a misleading name but what it is for is troubleshooting wake locks on your phone. This'll help pinpoint the cause of your drain

Will do. Thank you!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ajith Prasanth:
I had the same problem with my LG Optimus 2.3.3 stock. Finally with BetterBatteryStats I found that the alarm manager is causing the problem !! Whenever an alarm is scheduled, something keeps the OS in wake mode & does not allow it to sleep. Now I am using an external app for alarm & my battery stands for 2 days full with liberal amount of music :D

Hope this helps someone !!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKMikey:
Hello all,

I recently decided that I wanted to play with my mytouch 4G for a while. I was looking through the ROM section, and there were a lot of ROMs...very overbearing for someone like me. So, I decided to reach out to the community, and ask for a ROM that would suit my needs.

Requirements:

1. Good Battery Life

- I don't use my phone too often, and I hate it how with one day of low use my phone will go down to around 50%

2. Fast

- Speed Demon!

3. Stable

- Don't want apps crashing, now do we?

4. Updated

- Would prefer something that gets updated, so I know that I'm continually being supported with bigger and better things.

Think that's pretty much it. Thanks for all your help!

First post on XDA. Hope there's more to come! :cool:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelowTheHeavens:
CM7 or Faux's AOSP. Both fast with great battery life. :)

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
Most of the roms get to a "final release" where everything thats going to get worked out is worked out so that's where the older roms are but if you want one with a consistent update and speed try miui demonspeed as it gets updated every week :) hope that helps and welcome to XDA!

ASAIK: you have to use

sudo ./alpharevx

this tool needs admin rights. When you start it without your phone will not be found. It happened to me too. Afterwards i tried sudo and it worked perfect.

I think this manual will be helpful for others :)

Does it work straight off the bat without having to download things such as android SDK? Thinking of getting an ubuntu live cd and using that.

Rooting with AlphaRevX using Ubuntu:

For those who want to use Ubuntu (it's not that difficult once you get used to it):

1. Download Ubuntu from the Ubuntu site.

2. Burn image onto CD/DVD (follow instructions provided at the site. If you have Windows 7, you can simply use the Windows Disk Image Burner program).

3. Reboot computer. Allow Bootup popup menu (usually F8?).

4. Select DVD/CD-drive.

5. Wait a bit for things to load. Choose "Try" aka Live CD Mode, no need to install, unless you want Ubuntu.

6. Connect phone, making sure that Debugging Mode is enabled. Download AlphaRevx for Linux (Firefox included with Ubuntu). Keep that browser window open.

7. Extract the downloaded file and make sure it's at the root directory (in Ubuntu, that's Ubuntu/Ubuntu, if I recall correctly).

8. Search for the Terminal (Windows key pops up the search, I think; otherwise, it's the icon on the top left corner of your screen), run Terminal.

9. Type in "sudo ./alpharevx".

10. It'll provide a key. Go back to the browser window where you downloaded Alpharevx - there's a form to fill out. Type in the key. It'll generate a second key. Type that key into the Terminal.

11. Make sure it says that everything is successful. It'll ask if you want to flash Clockwork. Type in "Y".

12. Once it shows success, reboot.

Never had any permissions problems, but sudo su between step 8 and 9 if you do.

- Hope you could make a guide on how to flash custom ROMS. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
guys, having problem, stuck at downloading recovery for your phone.... how long does it takes usually? how can I end it?
[HTC Desire S] hookguy:
Thanks for the guides. Used Ubuntu's wubi installer to get Ubuntu onto my second hard drive then just deleted it from the hard drive after I was done.

Flashing a rom is very easy. You need to make sure you have Clockwork Recovery installed which the AlphaRev X tool actually does for you.

You'll need to install titanium backup from the market to backup any apps if you want to, as all your apps will be removed when you do this.

1) Download the rom you want to install; it should be a .zip file; and put it onto the root of your sd card (this means copy it straight over into the sd card and not into any folders within it)

2) Remove the battery from your Desire S and replace it, this makes sure your phone is not fast booting when you turn it off and on.

3) Turn your phone on while holding down both the Power button and the Volume down button. This will boot you into Clockwork Recovery.

4) Using volume up and volume down to move up and down the selections, and power button to select, go to wipe data/factory reset. THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA BUT NOT ERASE YOUR SD CARD. Follow it through.

5) Now select 'install zip from sdcard'.

6) Locate the zip file and select it using the power button. Select the option to install it.

7) Wait until its finished, then reboot the phone, you can do this by removing the battery and putting it back or selecting the reboot option.

DONE!

Hope this helped!
[HTC Desire S] hookguy:
Definitely shouldnt take more than a few minutes, the recovery file is quite small and with your internet speed it should download in a few seconds.

You can always install recovery manually by downloading ROM manager from the market.

I mean after sometime depending on your net speed don't you get a message that Clockworkmod installed...

No you don't have to repeat all steps just check if your phone is S-off...

Hi,

I used windows version on win7 pro x64,

it worked for my DS though after 3d try.

For windows version you will NEED install Drivers for your phone but PC Synch should be not installed or uninstalled if installed already.

In my case it went 2 times not good,but 3d time - ok, but after installing of CWM shell just disareared, however after reboot I could check that CWM was successfully installed.

PS you should run alpharevx.exe with admin privileges. (rigch click on alpharevx.exe -> run as Administrator)

PPS be patient!!! I aborted the 2d try because I thoght i'ts hanging, but next time it took about 20 min till shell disapeared...
[HTC Desire S] paddymcn:
S-off with Alpharev, Root with Gingerbreak and Clockworkmod Recovery with ROM Manager, thanks to everyone involved :)
[HTC Desire S] chockyT:
In case anyone needs it for windows (although it is quite straight forward), sorry if im stepping on anyones toes,

1, I personally did a factory reset but apparently this is not necessarily needed

2, Uninstall HTC Sync if its installed on your PC/laptop

3, download the windows HTC drivers from Alpharevx's website and install

4, download the windows version of alpharevx from the same website ensuring you fill in the necessary details and take note of the serial

5, on your phone ensure you have USB debugging ticked (Menu>settings>applications>development)

6, connect phone to computer using USB cable and select 'charge only'

7, Extract the files from the downloaded alpharevx zip package and right click the exe file and 'run as administrator'

8, Give it a few minutes and it should be S-OFFed, your phone should restart a few times and youll eventually see the S-ON will have changed to S-OFF.

9, a message will come up in alpharevx saying something about downloading clockwork, say Yes (must be connected to the internet), it wont take long at all

10, As in vampires OP if the phone hangs for too long (alpharevx suggests 15+ minutes) then restart your phone and start again, also if it says waiting for device... for ages (like my noobie error did) then see step 5.

11, once its done it will stay on the bootloader screen, just unplug your phone, reboot and jobs a good un.

12, rejoice and thank any and every member of the alpharevx team until you vommit :D

On that note - Thank you alpharevx team, i absolutely love you!!

FYI: I used windows 7 home premium 64 bit and it has worked, obviously lol.

If anyone wants to rewrite my pathetic guide please do :D

[Atrix 4G General] DukeL:
I noticed because when I bought it it was heavily modified & rooted running Gingerblur, already had clockwork installed so I went to flash a clean sbf with rsd and could not get it to enter rsd mode. Finally I realized it was because the volume button dosen't work. I have a feeling its not hardware related and more likely someone that didnt know what they were doing fooling with things.

Does anyone know a way I can fully restore it without using the volume rocker? When I called back the guy that sold it to me he claimed I have to install rom manager and load a image and that will fix it but he probably dosent know what hes talking about.
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
Does it have tenfars CWM installed already? If not, can you install it? With it , you can reboot directly into cwm recovery and do a factory reset / data wipe or flash something else through update.zip
[Atrix 4G General] DukeL:
Yes it has it installed already but without functioning volume up/down buttons I cannot select any files or options?
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
Doh forgot about that... how about Factory Data Reset through the regular settings menu? On mine it's in the Privacy Settings.
[Atrix 4G General] DukeL:
Yah I tried that a couple times. Rocker still dosent work. Took it to my local cell phone repair shop and they said its hardware related. Dosent make sense though since water damage indicator is white and phone appears to be in brand new physical condition like its never been dropeed or damaged. But it has been hacked as i see system recovery and its rooted with gingerblur.
[Atrix 4G General] ernestdefoe:
The person that you bought the phone from could have pressed way to hard on the button and broke it without even knowing it.
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
+1 probably hardware related...

but if you want to try one more thing, might go the official motorola update software route here...

[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
RSD restore it and call it in on warranty. Used phones still have warranty protection.
[Atrix 4G General] DukeL:
Thanks for the suggestion but it says there is no software update available when i connect it. Anyways I took it to att warranty center they said they will send out replacemnet and that software related stuff should not affect my warranty. A little worried though since it says gingerBLUR on boot up. Wish I could restore this somehow.
[Atrix 4G General] DukeL:
As stated Without the volume rocker I cant enter rsd mode.
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
About the gingerblur bootanimation, use rootexplorer to remove the bootanimation.zip.
[Atrix 4G General] DukeL:
Ok I have root explorer. What exactly should I do?
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
If you still have the phone I remembered that you can enter rsd mode by enabling usb debugging then clicking start on rsdlite. It'll reboot into rsd protocol mode.
[Atrix 4G General] SolidHelix:
if it is the rocker that's gone, its only a module and theres only 6 screws to totally disassemble the phone. no void stickers either. my phone's rocker button was broke to when i bought mine used. i just disassembled and reassembled and it was magically fixed! theres nothing scary about taking it apart either

I have tried everything on this forum and everything people have contributed to me. Now I'm in an endless circle of downloading this and flashing that. Nothing seems to work anymore. My damn phone gets stuck on the boot screen and vibrates a few times and just stays there. I'll give it one more shot before I'll run over it with my car or attach some fireworks to it, something in that nature.

I tried using task29.exe, but it always results in Error 290. I'm pretty sure I'm using 2.08 HPSL and Radio Leo 2.15.50.14.

And, I never had problems with flashing, except that moment with my old OMNIA, when I was hurry to flash one rom and I f*cked up big time... and bricked my phone.

Don't know what happen to you - you don't writting DETAILS.

But, I'm strongly recomending you to try and re-DOWNLOAD every file/app you need to flashing roms, re-install everything in your PC, try again the task29.exe (if your phones has nothing wrong, the task29.exe SHOULD be working, by all means) and re-try to flash a rom - I'm strongly recomending, to try "ENERGY" roms.

the boot probleme and the hight battery drain doesnt exist on wm ...so i guess not all phones r made to work with android ...since htc make phones by lots ...so might buy one with hardware probleme like mine ...

I'm not really sure what you're asking but it isn't difficult to take things like apps out of a rom, but if you're talking about changing the appearance of it (as in themeing) that can be trickier. You should be able to change what you need with a different launcher or themes, mods, etc.
