no, by "hbootname.img" I meant the same as "your username", as in there are many different Hboots that you can flash, so it doesn't matter what its name is (don't quote me on that, fastboot sometimes requires specific filenames). So no you don't need to rename it lol.

Hello! I recently switched my provider's plan and (unfortunately after signing the contract) came to a very dissapointing thing - my provider changed rate of 1 minute = 4 SMS to 1 minute = 1 SMS from the pool of free minutes. However, I got 300 free MMS.

So my question is, can I force android to send MMS messages ONLY, even the text ones? This will save me buying SMS package and put to good use currently useless MMS one...
[LG Optimus 3D] Lagamorph:
Hi all!

I just got my Optimus 3D on Tuesday on T-Mobile (In the UK) and so far I'm loving the device. Much better than the crappy iPhone 3GS I had before.

Anyway, I've been browsing around these forums and had one or two questions.

The main one is about installing the Performance pack posted here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1168480 however it mentions about making a backup using ClockworkMod Recovery first. Now I did try a search and a look around, but couldn't seem to find a good tutorial on doing that. How should I go about installing ClockworkMod and how can I use it to make a backup of my phone? And in the event of anything going wrong, how can I use it to restore my phone to its previous state?

Then, when it comes to installing the pack itself, do I need to root my device in order to do this? Or can I install it using the stock LG ROM that came pre-installed?

In order to install the pack, do I simply connect using my USB cable and drag the files into the phone and over-write the pre-existing files?

Sorry if these questions sound basic, but as I said I'm somewhat new to Android, and I did try to search around but couldn't find a thread asking these questions for this device.
[LG Optimus 3D] largo79:
First root your device. Then install Rom Manager from the Market and install Clockwork thru the app. After, create a backup and then flash performance pack. I would get 2650 Quadrant score before and now I've gotten 3300!
[LG Optimus 3D] Lagamorph:
If I root the device does that mean putting on a generic Android ROM? So would I lose all the pre-installed 3D apps/games and LG stuff? Or is rooting not the same as flashing a totally new ROM onto the phone?
[LG Optimus 3D] otacon888:
Rooting just gives you access to system files and folders.
[LG Optimus 3D] Lagamorph:
Ahhh I see, thanks.

I'll root my phone when I get home from work using the tutorial here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1173431 then and download/install ROM Manager from the market. Is there any real advantage to getting the premium version of ROM Manager? Or will the free version suffice for the performance pack?

Once I have got ROM Manager installed, how do I install Clockwork and use it to take a backup? And then how do I flash the performance pack?
[LG Optimus 3D] otacon888:
The premium just gets you some extra downloads (ROMS and tweaks) directly from your phone. There are no ROMS or tweaks for the O3D so no point in getting premium IMHO. The free one is more than enough.

After you install ROM manager, open the app and click on "flash clockworkmod recovery" and it will install the recovery.

After you install the recovery, you just click on backup current ROM and it will reboot and backup your phone.
[LG Optimus 3D] Lagamorph:
Well I'm rooted and have made a backup, though I'm still unsure how to install the performance pack. I've downloaded the zip file with the folders inside, but I'm not sure what to do with it.
[LG Optimus 3D] otacon888:
You need to boot into recovery and choose install from zip and chose the zip. Of course you need to put the the zip on the phone first.
[LG Optimus 3D] Lagamorph:
Thanks! That worked a treat. Took a little bit of figuring out how to get into recovery mode, I was trying holding the volume keys whilst pressing the power button, but holding Up didn't seem to do anything, and holding down booted the phone into Safe Mode (Phones have Safe Mode's now?)

But I got there in the end through RomManager, and things certainly do seem to be running even faster now (not that it was slow before!).

Just for future reference though, incase I need to boot into recovery to do a restore, what's the correct hardware method to boot into recovery on the O3D from a powered off state?

One other question I have. When the 2.3 update comes out in September/October (I've seen conflicting reports), will I need to undo the performance pack by restoring from my pre-performance backup? Or will the 2.3 update just overwrite it? Or does nobody quite know yet?
[LG Optimus 3D] linuxlol:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] svetius:
The purpose of this forum is for XDA members to post any ROMs they make, which are derived from existing Galaxy S II ROMs (within the scope of the rules). We listened to your feedback, in wanting to separate ROMs from derivative ROMs to avoid confusion and to protect the original creators (the chefs) of such ROMs, and to make it easier to find major developments.

This forum is for ROMs that aren't an original creation by you in terms of the underlying software, meaning, they've been either 1. developed with assistance from a kitchen or are 2. a re-skinning/re-themeing/minor adjustment of a particular ROM developed by someone else.

We welcome your derviative ROMs, as they give even more choice to XDA users. When you post in this forum, we ask that you be respectful of the original creator by following rule 12, particularly:

1. Linking back to the source ROM

2. Mention the creator of the ROM upon which your deriviative ROM is based.

Thank you for your cooperation :cool:

P.S. This is a bit of an experiment. Should it make sense, we'll roll it out to other forums on XDA.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adyscorpius:
Well, finally you can seperate the men from the boys... !! Nice thought..!! :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] jlevy73:
Personally I think this Derivative Rom subsection is a bit ridiculous. How does Litening Rom end up in that section. It was one of the first Rom's created for the SGS2 and sure it's a derivative of the original firmware but whose isn't. If that's the case why isn't Pusler_G2 Rom in there as well. With that line of thinking all Rom's should be placed in the derivative section except CM7, oh wait, but his is a derivative of AOSP. I think XDA's arbitrary judgement on what is a derivative or not needs some further consideration. IMO all your going to do is piss off developers with this new sub-section.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pepot:
+1.....

?????
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kalpik:
+1. Not a good idea. We need to be VERY clear on the rules here.. Right now, they don't seem to be clear, and or are not being applied correctly.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mach0boi:
Anyone knows where Litening ROM is based from? Ive read the OP and saw litening is included. Im just curious :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Crucio_:
I like the idea of tidying up the fourm there alot of threads and alot of ROMS coming out.

I think that you would need to make clear rule on which section a new or current ROM should be in.

The main example which seems to be going on is between VillanROM and LightngPRO. They did appear near the same time, we know that Villian came first but they are each the individuals work are they not?

In creating the seperation you might end up giving the impression that one ROM is better than another.

Could you not make splits like Samsung ROMS/ASOP/Kernels?

Themes already have their own section.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] giokou:
Correct!

xda team must reconsider.

These are not serious stuff...

All custom roms are derrivatives of original firmwares.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Crucio_:
They are meaning that if it is a derrivative of another members ROM, not if it is made from the stock ROM, it is obvious that they have to be derrived from somewhere. and silly to say that all ROMs should be in here because they come from stock.

from what i can tell the section is trying to protect the work of ROM makers, by highlight the original work and moving works based on a ROM to this section.

Say if i took Villian ROM, adviced people to use Jame Bonds Kernel not CF. Themed it and removed some app. i have made a release but it is not my work ;) the base was villian, so it was derived from that. hence it would go in this section.

EDIT: But i still think the hard part of a section like this is telling what the ROM was derived from. Who is going to do the checking ;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] giokou:
Exactly my point mate!

That's why it is pointless... ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LeoMar75:
I'd like to point out that my rom is not derived at all, i even explained in my OP what was my IDEA and how i was able to get somethings new compared to other custom ROM.

It is the first rom based on XXKG1 release with HW accelerated browser, and it's my own experiment to built an Hybrid ROM (deodexed/odexed). In addition i am using a new kernel developed by angelom in italy!

I did everythings starting from the official (samfirmware) release XXKG1. I didn't use kitchen for theming i have done it by myself, if you don't believe me you can double check it in my Italian Blog that i realized video tutorials on how to theme for LG Dual!

That said, of course each developer use some cool stuff or mod that have been shared here, otherwise what's the point to have a developers community???

Even if there is some mod ready to be included inside a ROM, i always prefer to decompile things do a reverse engineering on smali code and remake mods by me in order to assure that stuff won't break things in my ROM (i.e. FC)

Sorry, but i like to be fair and i wanted to write it down!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] malavan:
You are absolutely right, there are many dev who have done extraordinary things with their roms and put a lot of hours on their rom making. the only thing that has happened now is that you must go to two different places to look up different rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hacksome:
Agree. The Development forum is too big and confusing. It better be split in to:-

1) Samsung-StockROM-Mods (Insanity, VillainROM etc)

2) AOSP/Cyanogen-Based (MIUI, CM7 etc..)

3) Kernels

The so called derivatives/themer's ROMs should ideally be pushed to a sub-forum under Themes.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ludow:
I don't like this idea. Somebody is bumping up his/her ego for nothing.

Mods/admins are creating illusion for first class and second class roms.

Just my two euros. :eek:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tjjensen23:
i like your idea, just gonna modify to my tastes

1) Roms (subforum)

2) Kernels (subforum)

3) Other Dev stuff (WIP, Guides etc) (this is main forum)

this way there can be no bias towards anything or anyone. It makes it easier to find either the deisred rom and/or kernel

[Galaxy S II Android Development] khein:
So whats next? Each ROM has there own website + tag price + copyright? Devs SUING each other for "using" their ideas. So much for being a community if you can't collaborate ideas.

As I see it,

DERIVATIVE ROMS = ROM Devs "thank"-ing other devs(Be it in the changelogs, or at the footer in the OP).

"ORIGINAL" ROM = ROM Threads that didn't "Thank" other dev.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AndyCr15:
I agree with most, this is quite disappointing I think. It makes it harder for us as users to just have a look through the ROMs we have on offer.

This I like. If someone has used someone else's work, a better rule would just be to have that as the first line of the OP.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] svetius:
If we've moved any threads in error, we want to correct that error. PM me if you need anything.

We'll soon have very specific criteria on what qualifies a derivative ROM from an original ROM.

Thank you for your patience as we work out the kinks with this new system. :cool:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AndyCr15:
So you are going on the word of the developer on if it's a derived ROM or not? How does this avoid the issue suffered previously?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] khein:
I hope you may consider this approach as suggested by tjjensen23.

I

think

MOST users don't really care if the ROM is derived from another ROM. Because these android ROMs where also derived from GOOGLE.

Though I can understand some devs who want to protect their idea and donations as derived ROMs are direct competition and would equate to less ?donations?.

What most of us wants is to know what we are flashing at our devices. So that a ROM will be flashed as a ROM, a modem as modem, and so on.

1)Roms/ALL in ONES(ROM+KERNEL+MODEM+ETC)(subforum) -*stickied* ROM Flashing guide + Other ROM knowledge topics for newbies

2) Kernals (subforum) - KERNEL Flashing guide + Other KERNEL knowledge topics for newbies

3)Modems (subforum) - Modems Flashing guide + Other Modems knowledge topics for newbies

3) Other Dev stuff (WIP Guides etc)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LeoMar75:
Tell me which ROM didn't Thanks at least one other developer!

A couple of Example:

-MMs Mod

-Camera Mod

Also why if some developers discover something cool and share to other developers how to modify smali files in ooder to get it, we can't use it in our ROM!

So our rom is tagged as a second class ROM!

I totally disagree

@LeoMar75

Just want to clarify that I'm also against this kind of classification.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mostyle:
Hmmm..

This seems the best idea yet.

I suspect that this whole thing is a spin off on the Nitroz DG incident.. and to be honest, it seems over zealous..

Couple of points/thoughts..

1) If a party makes an original creation what's to prevent a second party from stepping in and making the claim that its a reproduction.. And as soon as that claim is made who and more importantly HOW do you prove/disprove the claim? When I used to code ntsc and pal modifications on 6502/6510 chips it got to the point where each of the competitive people that were all doing the same thing as I would encrypt a piece of code or a textual 'fingerprint' so if the code was take, it would be obvious and the offender would get called out and laughed at.

2) Sure no one wants to have their work stolen. Have worked with a programming firm I know that well. I think though what is being attempted by the addition of this forum is not conducive with the ideals implied from the things that I've seen on XDA. We (well, cant speak for others) shouldn't be doing this for a desire to earn credit or boost egos. Ultimately its about the betterment of the community. In the end, whether we want to admit it or not, there's an implied honor code going on here. Creation of a separate wont go far to change that if you ask me.

As stated by post #2 I believe it was, this forum seems more about separating 'the men from the boys.'

No amount of created forums shall ever enforce honesty.. If a person can't give credit where it's due separate forums wont change that.

Just one guy's opinion..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stoolzo:
I think we just need another section altogether called "completed ROMS". Here, only ROMS could be added that met certain criteria like:

1. Correct title (add "derivative" or "stock" as made what it was made from)

2. ROM must be flashable as a full ROM and not just be a kernal, kitchen or base.

3. Download links

4. Screen shots

5. Update / change log.

6. Thanks given to contributors

The "dev section would then be for everything else like Kernels and kitchens, beta ROMS and "coming soon" crap etc.

We shouldn't try to restrict cooks to much though as we don't want to put anyone off, however I think it wise to try add some conformity to the ROM posts.

I would retrict the initial post to one post, here the cook could outline how fantastic the ROM is to their hearts content with pictures and whatever. They would then be asked to reserve the next two posts. The second post would be for version numbers with download links !!ONLY!!, the third for update / change log !!!ONLY!!!.

This way everyone would exactly where to go for the info they need straight way without trolling through pages of pointless reviews and junk.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aegeuss:
I think this is a very good seperation idea; when I come to development section as a user I would first like to see the ROMs section; then if I have a good up to date ROM I would like to try new kernels and if these are OK then I look at the other modified files, improvements etc. I believe this kind of sub forums is perfect.

Please put Litening Rom back to it's place, where it belongs again.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kalpik:
The idea behind this (as I understand) is to reduce ROM thefts (people copying ENTIRE ROM and just adding theme). And I fully agree with the sentiment, but these ROMs should be deleted, instead of creating a separate section for them!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stoolzo:
I think People should be free to take and share what they want, we dont want to start having rules about what can and cannot be considered an "ingredient" and who "owns" Open source be that and nothing else, nothing should be out of bounds accepts actual apps. they are different. For me, if someone wants to take another cooked ROM, configure it for themselves and then release for others to benefit from then that should be ok as long as proper acknowledgement are made to the best of their ability. If MODS feel this hasn't been done then it could simply be taken down until they do. I think another section should be added for all roms, derivative or not simply to separate them from other DEV as its getting really messy in there, I really don't like the two tear system that's just been set up all, it will only cause arguments in the future and has already caused one with Lightning ROM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] giokou:
I totally agree witn 90% of the above.

@ xda mods team

Organization in categories in my (and a lot of other people too) opinion must be done and I am surpised that it hasn't been done yet.

Galaxy S II will ''bother'' us for a very long time!, so it's forum must be organized in order for everyone not to search for hours to find a rom, kernel, mod etc!

And of course a way must be found to efficiently prevent rom stealing. But not like the one you just showed us, because it causes disaggrements and lots of tension. I don't like the word ''derivative'' the way you use it.

Please think very strongly about the ''policy'' you 're going to follow!

Help us to help you so that all of us help each other and enjoy our stay here!!! :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ghostbustersin:
This is insane!

How do you actually classify if it's derivative or not? There are a lot of tutorials out there where anyone can build there own rom. And there are enough tutorials for almost all the mods used in all the roms out there.

Anyways, i won't talk about anyone else, but i built my rom from the stock source downloaded straight from the Samsung servers. And i was providing my rom users with updates on my Stock Base ROM. Download my ROM-GTS-Clean&Green and point me any modification copied from any other rom out there, infact point me any visual change that has been copied, and i'll stop working on it.

And if you are about to say that there was just a little modification in my ROM. Well that's true. And that was because i wanted it to be user based. Go and set a bar that these amount of modification will be accepted before one can post his rom into the dev section. This is really insane. You are discouraging new developers, nothing else.

Please consider deleting my thread from this section if you can't move it the main dev section.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Novek:
Agreed 100%

Unfortunately there are many others with you... I'm certainly quitting xda if this are the new way to go!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] blunted09:
I know mods are just testing it out but this is a bad idea. Makes it seem as though these are second tier roms. Highly discouraging for them.

Thumbs down from me. (if it matters)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LeoMar75:
I agree 100%

Also my ROM is not a derived ROM at all as I already explained before here!

I reckon a good thing to do is to move suspicious rom in another section to be investigated rather than classify a ROM straight away as a Second Class ROM........

In addition even for me: Please consider deleting my thread from this section if you can't move it the main dev section.

Edit:deleted.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Fysi:
I agree with a subforum due to the amount of ROMs with exactly the same stuff in them apart from the theme.

But, it should not be labeled derivative. It should be labeled 'generic'.
