[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I take it you keep the S-OFF doing that? I'm using the ENG S-OFF but is there really any advantage to it bar a few extra HBOOT commands?

EDIT: The HBOOT from the 1.35.401.1 RUU isn't an IMG file - can it still be flashed?

hboot_Pyramid_8x60_1.17.0011_20110602_signedbyaa.nb0
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
yes you can rename it as hboot.img and flash it via fastboot..I prefer you guys to use revolutionary,which enabled fastboot and version higher than eng(eng is the same as 1.17.0008)

[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
but how we know its s-off ?
[HTC Sensation] PandaKiller:
Work for me to to ;)
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
its S-OFF ?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
S-OFF isn't affected by flashing an HBOOT (I don't think). I'll try it now and let you know
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Only reason I used the ENG S-OFF was to get rid of the 'Revolutionary' banner at the top - like it to look OEM ;)
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
now i have ship HBoot: 1.17.0011 s-off
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
i will try now the performance on the phone ;)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Yeah, flashed it on mine and still S-OFF

*** PLEASE DO A NANDROID BEFORE TRYING THIS ***

HBOOT 1.17.0011

http://www.multiupload.com/G842HEM3C1

1. Extract ZIP file

2. Flash via fastboot using command:

fastboot flash hboot hboot.img

3. The run:

fastboot reboot-bootloader

4. Then run:

fastboot erase cache

5. Turn phone off and then back on again
[HTC Sensation] scaeac:
Why do you need it ? Did you have S-OFFed your Sensation?

Do you know how flash a PG85IMG.ZIP into the NAND in your Sensation?

I have a image file which included hboot ver 1.17.0011 PVT SHIP S-OFF attached below.

Are you sure you need it?

It maybe brick your phone, the risks and responsibilities all are yours when you flash your phone! This HBOOT only tested on my HTC Sensation!
[HTC Sensation] Jimmy Flip:
There has only been one eng hboot leaked and it's .0008

Flash a stock hboot onto a phone that is radio S-OFF and it will say SHIP S-OFF. Ship is stock and S-OFF, when ENG is not written, means radio S-OFF.

On previous HTC phones you could have ENG S-OFF without radio S-OFF, and the hboot would fool the radio into thinking that the phone was S-OFF even though it wasn't radio S-OFF. It's unlikely that would work with the Sensation unless the eng hboot was signed, and the one that has leaked isn't.

Revolutionary is a special kind of hboot. It still says SHIP in the bootloader but it's custom and has some extra fastboot commands (like 'fastboot flash'), so in many ways it acts like an eng hboot. So if you run Revolutionary, you get radio S-OFF and a custom hboot. Your phone will still be S-OFF after running a RUU but you'll overwrite the Revolutionary custom hboot with a stock one.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] norgan:
So i was just playing with two HD7's that i have with HSPL loaded. And because i am a little crazy like that i decided to try and flash the RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_3.04.206.01_Radio_5.66.09.21a_2 2.48.50.21_Signed to my TMOUS HD7 (PD29110).

Well...it worked, radio reports 5.66 and rom is O2. UPDATE: Sort of, radio has reverted, I have converted this thread to debranding the TMOUS HD7.

So...does this mean i can now access the same radio bands as the UK version, i.e. the 900Mhz band that is missing from the TMO version.

I bought this to use in Australia where we have the 900 and 2100 bands, my old HD2 worked fine with just 2100 but i just thought maybe the radio is what tells the chipset what bands to use.

Either way this is a succesful test of flashing a non TMO rom to a TMo HD7.

Let me know your thoughts on this..
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] norgan:
now to load RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.57.707.02_Radio_5.52.0 9.16_22.33a.50.10

as unbranded rom (after removing the spl.nzb of course) to unlock then upgrade to nodo and then to mango :)
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] sutt359:
Yep that's what the Hard SPL is for. But you were very brave to flash a rom that has a radio for another model of HD7 you could have had a brick.

But no you can't access the other bands.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] norgan:
brave or stupid lol my heart was beating fast as i watched my hd7 possibly being bricked. but alas not only was it not bricked but it now has new radio and an asia wwe rom to make it nice and generic.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] norgan:
UPDATE

so the radio is now back to 5.65, not sure if i missread (probably) or it reverted back during the "genericing" process.

I can confirm however that the debrands the tmous hd7 :) and all works as expected.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] drkfngthdragnlrd:
The Radio has nothing to do with the frequencies. This is a hardware limitation, not software.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] xcvista:
GOSH I just dare flashing between Asia ROMs (707 and 728) Mine is Taiwan's 707 and flashed a SingTel branded (manually unbranded of course) 728 and using Cina Unicom 3G and worked well.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] norgan:
Yeah I was not sure if the hardware chip was actually physically different or not but the biggest win is the lack of op logos, just how I like it :-) next job is to pull it apart and start customizing my first wp7 rom :-D

Just a quick question, If I root the HTC Wildfire will this also unlock it so i can use any network simcard?

Thanks
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
No, it doesn't. And, there aren't any free ways yet AFAIK. (Unless you own / know someone close who owns an XTC Clip). Another way is buying the unlock code.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwc3b:
don't flame me but can i install this through either Odin (just using the kernel on PDA) or CWM (flash a kernel) from /sdcard on top of my stock KG3 ROM? nothing else required?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Yes!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwc3b:
easy enough. is there any advantage using this kernel with a villain or litening rom? or would just the stock suffice?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroAndo:
I believe both those ROMs come with Ninphetamine 2.0.4 and will likely be updated shortly to 2.0.5. The advantage I find (I am on stock ROM) is that battery life is improved greatly and I can overclock and undervolt using setCPU. I actually underclock and undervolt the majority of the time and get twice the battery life I did running completely stock. For instance 800MHz is plenty for all the HD games I play, I usually run them on 1000MHz when I'm playing them online for less lag (like Order and Chaos).

It's a great kernel that why you'll find it included with a lot of ROMs coming out.

So, by adding 2.0.5 to either ROMs you're just getting the small battery life update which I have yet to see in action. But since 2.0.2 my battery life has been superb.

Enjoy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwc3b:
Wow. Great answer. Thanks. I'm not really looking to do custom ROM. I just want to flash this kernel with the stock ROM. I'll have to do a lot more research before I can even begin understanding your explanation on underclocking and undervolting. I guess the setCPU comes with this kernel and I can just open it up and adjust values as I wish?

But even before that, I need a little direction before flashing my first kernel via CWM.

Is this how it goes?

- download ZIP file from his thread

- copy .zip to \sdcard (not in any of its subfolders)

- open CWM

- ** now here is where I'm lost. do I either:

- Reboot -> ClockWorkMod

- Reboot -> Download mode

- Kernel -> Flash kernel

and then where do I go from here?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aimixess:
Another question about this kernel

Hello,

I just have a little question about this kernel.

Is it normal that the /system part is mounted as rw when the system start (not set as ro in the init.rc) ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stesteste:
yes just download kernal go to cwm and then goto flash kernal it will reboot itsself and flash kernal fir u did on my 1.5 lightrom

xda app sgs2, thank me if i helped
[HTC Sensation] JaylanPHNX:
I would love to have an overclocking module for this phone. I know with S=Off now available (and the official unlock coming) custom kernels will be the way to go, but since my phone is a loaner, I can't do any of that. But an OC module similar to the Milestone Overclock that speeds my wife's Defy up would be perfect.
[HTC Sensation] MontAlbert:
just do a search in the development forum mate- there is permatemp root plus OC modules available.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetor12:
When I add pdf files to a folder on the internal card they seem to automatically get added to MyLibray but I do not want them to as I prefer to use Aldiko for reading them so I then add them to Aldiko and delete them from MyLibray but they also delete from Aldiko as well, can I prevent this? Often 2 copies of each pdf file appear in MyLibray as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkgage:
It is the same copy. Why is it a problem?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetor12:
In MyLibray there are 2 copies of every pdf file which is annoying, if I then delete each copy I then lose them from the Aldiko reader, they are also taking up twice the space on the internal card as they are in the folder I originally transferred them to and them they somehow get duplicated into the eBooks folder.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetor12:
I should also add that I don't want to use MyLibray at all but it cannot be uninstalled but whatever folder I put the pdf's into it will always automatically copy to MyLibray.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfuogh:
Someone will eventually say it, so I might as well. If you want to remove stock apps like MyLibrary, root your device and zap away! :/ I don't like MyLibrary either, it tends to freeze up or lag on me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redlinezak:
Hi all - first post so i hope it a relatively decent question. Did have a search but couldnt find anything related to this particular issue on this phone.

Im not sure whether this is better in the apps section or the phone specific but thought i would ask here first.

I have an unrooted S2 and i would like to use another Launcher.

My problem is that i cannot seem to find and App or Launcher or anything that can alert me of unread emails.

I have tried 'missed it' and executive assistant but to no avail.

Missed it works for calls and SMS but not email.

I should add that i am not using G mail but using the built in samsung email App with two accounts (1 POP and 1 Exchange).

If i receive an email using the default launcher and open the app drawer there is an email icon which displays the unread count in a red bubble. So if i add this icon to desktop or to the dock i can see unread mails.

If i am using Launcher Pro for example this icon is not in my app drawer or anywhere that i can find it. In stead there is exactly the same icon in the drawer but this does not display the unread count.

I am assuming that this is a semi sansung widget (although i cannot add it to desktop as a widget even in the standard launcher).

I have also tried using the social hub with launcher pro (and Go launcher and ADW) but again i get no notifications.

I still get the notifications in the notification bar no matter what launcher i use but these dissapear after a while.

This is currently the only thing stopping me using a different Launcher and it would be great if anyone had any ways around this.

Unfortunately i cannot and dont really want to forward my emails to Gmail.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Nath

Anyone got any ideas on this?

[Thunderbolt General] dajogejr:
First off...I think I've come to the conclusion I'm a sense guy at heart.

I've used all the major sense ROMs for this bolt. BAMF, Virus (Airborne and Synergy), Chingy stuff, and DroidTh3ory's stuff. (I"m sure a few others I've forgotten).

I've also tried CM7 several times, OMFGB, and recently Th3ory's AOSP run.

I get smaller footprint, more customization, better battery life (I'm told, can't say I've left an AOSP on mine long enough to confirm/deny that personally).

I use my phone for 60% business/40% personal.

I know you can download an app or theme for just about everything...but at what point do you say enough is enough. I'm trying to make AOSP do what Sense already does?...most of the time for free.

Example... Sense 3.0 MMS...cleaner, nicer. Sense email client, way better than AOSP offering. I use Exchange for email. I know all about Touchdown, K9, moxier, Enhanced Email, etc. But on baked in AOSP email you can't even move an email to a sub folder??

The dialer is horrible, IMO. So I downloaded dialer one. I like sense's dialer, if you start typing a name or number, it starts pulling them up. Reminds me of how easy a blackberry is to use for dialing.

I like the people Widget, so I paid for launcher pro plus, their people widget as well as calendar/agenda widget is ok. It would be nice if the facebook pictures synced up properly with their people widget, but I've read this is a known AOSP issue. Again...buying/installing a 3rd party app for something that just works in Sense.

I'm not looking for a flame war. I know there's a HUGE majority of AOSP love out there...I get it. Just looking for opinions.... am I way off base here?

Now, AOSP is not all terrible. The ability to choose different launchers, change the number of home screens, how they rotate, different home dock icons, ability to change row/columns.... There are a lot of pluses for sure... so please don't think I'm kicking dirt on the AOSP guys. I appreciate good work from ALL the developers...it's a thankless and never ending job...
[Thunderbolt General] GermanGuy:
One of the main reasons I am sticking with Sense-based ROMs is the quick lookup feature.
[Thunderbolt General] razzia17:
I loved aosp on my Droid 1 and Droid x, when I got the t-bolt I had to deal with sense and now I can't go back to aosp.
[Thunderbolt General] skinien:
On the CM dialer, you can hit the search key and type someone's name.
[Thunderbolt General] gospeed.racer:
I like AOSP cause thats what I learned on. Sense pisses me off more than it helps- too many things that just dont work right for me. For example (and this is small stuff, but stuff that just bugs me), click on the address bar on the browser. Start typing something to search....click enter, aww crap, it automatically put a www. in front of it...back up...delete the www. and try again. I can visit Sense once in a while, but always end up back at AOSP. I dont like re-learning, my original HTC Nexus with AOSP was still the best phone I ever had.
[Thunderbolt General] microdot:
I love sense. I came from a Droid X and after i got my TB i realized that 80% of apps and widgets and stuff that i downloaded was to make it look and operate like sense. Like a world clock, a stop watch and good calender widget, the sense clock...the list goes on. Yes there are some things i miss from launchers i used but overall sense is good. Very functional and its got the eye candy.
[Thunderbolt General] sonami:
I dont get why you u cant just turn sense off in settings like you could on my htc imagio. Made it much easier for people who prefer one or the other.

I think the true answer lies somewhere in between, the beauty of the Android OS is customization. Personally, I am using an AOSP dailer with my BAMF Sense ROM.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
My girlfriend loves cm7. I can't stand it. I tend to think of AOSP as Android for people that don't care how it looks or works. Android really isn't that elegant all by itself. It's a pig in need of lip stick. I just refuse to pay for something Sense gives me for free is another reason. That HTC clock is coming close to being an icon of Android itself. I personally think its time Google considered making their industrial modern art masterpiece into something pleasing to the eye and brain. I might give AOSP another go at some point. I'm pretty sure I won't like it because I like how Sense ties things together and it Just works. For free.
[Thunderbolt General] sithdroid2187:
I've tried going back to AOSP as I loved AOSP on my OG Droid. I am a Sense-aholic now and I cannot go back. Especially running Sense 3.0 on das BAMF 4.9.
[Thunderbolt General] turbosrrgood:
+1, thats exactly how I was. I thought I was an ASOP only guy after my D1, but every time I try ASOP now I find myself missing some of the things that sense gives you.

Gingeritis 3D is the most stable GB Sense rom I have used yet, battery life is unexpectedly good.

I like the hardware that Motorola has been putting out with android, but Sense blows Blur out of the water...
[Thunderbolt General] dajogejr:
I've tested a few moto phones...and that being said, I can TOTALLY see the huge love of AOSP for those folks. It's what they're used to and what they know.

But I've owned a sense phone...and use it daily now since release.

I too, can't see spending time and a little money to make it work or trying to make it work like Sense Candy....
[Thunderbolt General] Robertus:
I use Sense simply because I don't have time to experiment with all the other ROM options. But whenever I have started to try some other individual app options, I usually find something I like better. Sense weather animations are cool eye-candy, but there are much more functional weather apps when you need them--and you just don't need a weather app on all the time. The stock clock is ridiculously huge and some of the other optional Sense clocks are OK, but there are a million other clocks out there for free. Found a free calendar widget that is much more customizable and therefore nicer looking with my many backgrounds. Touchdown is better email app (but not cheap). One thing at a time, everything is getting replaced. Not sure what elements of Sense I'm still using!

Thanks, Robertus
[Thunderbolt General] ddgarcia05:
I love asop. I love being able to use launcher pro and hide apps that i don't want to see. I love the speed. And every app works great on asop. I've tried to go back to sense but i only last a day at the most. I think the dailer on stock android is awesome.
[Thunderbolt General] ohiog:
I started off with Sense and tried the ASOP mods.

ASOP is very minimalistic. BUT Sense is TOO MUCH.

Google needs a good clock and a better calender and better icons. If they fix that, ill be solid with ASOP.

[Thunderbolt General] zach382:
I keep trying all the AOSP roms but keep going back to Das BAMF 1.8.6 because it's the most stable, has the least bugs, and the longest battery life. At least for me.
[Thunderbolt General] saintfurion:
Its a personal preference, so there is no right or wrong answer. I definitely love AOSP. Just cleaner, every app works as intended, moddable.. most importantly (typically) ultra stable and fast.

I personally like the dialer, but usually people get hung up (no pun intended) on that. I love the fact that I can choose to dial, use favourites, have an easy to access call log, etc.. and if I can't manage to find someone in all that.. i can just hit the search key (you remember that little button on the bottom right side).

I do love some of the sense options but not enough to buy the farm. It would be nice to have a middle ground, but I guess i kind of do with AOSP and the mods.
[Thunderbolt General] GermanGuy:
I there any way to enable the quick lookup feature on AOSP? I mainly use quick lookup to easily translated web pages.
[Thunderbolt General] dragonsamus:
I like how light and fast AOSP is but Sense is nice too. If I could find an AOSP rom that worked without bugs I would use it. I think my next phone will be a Nexus if VZW ever gets one.
[Thunderbolt General] brizey:
I found myself in the opposite condition than most of you guys...I was making sense roms more like AOSP, not AOSP more like sense. I was using a GO Launcher, so why have Rosie? I like artsy wallpapers, so no live weather wallpaper. I use the gmail and yahoo dedicated apps, so I have no use for any built in email app. GO SMS is awesome. I have no need for facebook on my phone--facebook is a once every few days thing, not a minute by minute thing, so I see no reason for it to be on a phone. Plume is way better than the sense twitter stuff. The GO Dialer does the "just start typing" thing. Dolphin is better than any built in browser. Etc. Etc.

AOSP lets you go best in class for every aspect of the phone--including speed and battery life. The only thing I think sense is best in class is the 3.0 lockscreen and maybe the weather wallpaper if you like that sort of thing. Everything else is either irrelevant to me or inferior to stuff you can find on the market.

And if you don't think you can make AOSP look good, look at some of Wormdoes's screen caps.

I ran Bamf 4.9 for a while and liked it. I COULD go back to sense. I may try out gingeritis 3d just to see it. But I know I will end up back on an AOSP rom as my DD.
