[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Too many of the features are embedded in a single chip (SOC=System On a Chip). This means that replacing the single core with a dual core will inherently involve replacing a lot of other functions. You would also probably have to reprogram some low-level chips to interface with the newer SOC. It would be cheaper to just buy a newer phone.

Also, surface mount soldering is no easy task. Surface mount desoldering is even harder because of the higher risk of burnt components - not a problem for the parts you plan to discard, but the parts close to them may end up needing replacement as well if you screw up.

If anyone attempted a hardware mod of that magnitude, it would be solely to prove that it could be done - the cost and difficulty would still make it impractical, even as a service to those who can't do it themselves.

An aluminum case is more practical, although the cost of material and tools would still put it out of reach for most users. I imagine that it wouldn't even be practical for someone with the tools and material try to sell them, because it would either not be profitable, or you would have to charge too much to sell very many.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
as a personal project it would be cool but im sure it wouldnt cost so much or even rather take newer parts and rebuild it up like new mobo, cpu, etc... so its like building a new cell phone but still around the same size and look to it i guess. everything would be new
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
The manufacturers get a bulk discount on the parts they don't make themselves - unless you plan to make a few hundred (or thousand) copies of your customized phone, the cost of all the parts would greatly exceed the cost of a new phone at full retail price (without the new contract discount). Even if you did plan to mass-produce them, you may not be able to get the bulk rate anyway.

Also, if you're going to go that far, the cost of a custom case to put it in would be negligible compare to the internal components - trying to fit new parts into an old case would be unneccesarily restrictive. You can keep trying to rationalize the idea, but trust me, it isn't nearly as feasible as you seem to want to believe.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weirdo13:
I flashed RLS1+GodMode ROM last Friday with the exact procedure that being written on synergy rom thread.

- Use AmonRA

- Format SD

- Create ext2 partition on SD (1Gb)

- Wipe cache, dalvik cache, data

- Flash the RLS1+GodMode ROM

- reboot

Inital boot take a little bit long than a regular one. Everything works fine, instead of issues with battery. (I am using a cameron sino 1600mAh battery wich I believe still in a very good condition).

I usually turned off my EVO at night and turned it on again in the morning, so here are the battery/power issues that I found:

- After full charging (with evo turned off) the evo won't turn on through pushing the power button. I decided to took off the battery and put it on again on the EVO, tried to push the power button and it works. (Have no idea whats the reason that makes such thing happen).

- And for last night, turned off my evo with the 36% battery remaining condition (activate the music and radio widget early that day), It was quite shocking this morning when I turned on my EVO I found that the battery was drained to 0%. (Again I don't have any clue for what happen)

Perhaps anyone in this forum or even the guru of synergy rom team could help me with this issue?

First thing first make a nandroid backup then you can download that vr-superwipe I posted but I'm not really 100% if that works in cwm recovery but when you wipe wipe everything but your sdcard well you don't really have to wipe stats but I don't even think that option is in cwm.

You should really think about switching to Amon ra 2.3 if you haven't you can even flash it from ROM Manager.

i'm running P3's rooted gingerbread. it's not running as flawlessly as rooted froyo (HDMI doesn't work, cloud version google music doesn't work). i have a nandroid backup of froyo. can i just flash the backup froyo rom or do i need to sbf? i don't mind sbf'ing but i would like to avoid the hassle of having to sbf, reinstall everything, re root, re debloat, etc.

has anyone successfully flashed a backup froyo from gingerbread?

thanks.
[Motorola Droid X2] teegunn:
I have considered rolling back to my 2.2 nandoid backup myself. I have both 2.3 and 2.2 set up the same (supercharged, debloated, sd speed increas, vold.file to switch sd external read as internal) and honestely 2.2 was faster and less glichy than 2.3 has been. I "think" you shoul be OK to flash your 2.2 backup from 2.3, but I am not positive about this so wait until others have chimed in to this thread.
[Motorola Droid X2] h_10:
google didn't find many results so i read the droidx forum. there are several threads in that forum stating that the X could NOT flash a backup of froyo when on gingerbread. boot up gets stuck at M.

i would assume that it's the same w/ the X2. i think the gb upgrade installed a new bootloader and this is the reason why you can't simply flash a backup froyo rom.

awaiting confirmation.
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
You can't load backups cross versions. You would need to sbf to froyo first, root and bootstrap, then load your backup. Like wise if you wanted to load a gingerbread backup you'd have to be currently on gingerbread.

Unsupercharge and see how 2.3.3 runs for you. Kills froyo IMO
[Motorola Droid X2] h_10:
2.3.3 had bad music skipping and pausing w/out supercharger. supercharger addressed the lag, for the most part. no way i could use 2.3.3 w/out supercharger.

anyway, i sbf'ed back to froyo, rerooted, loaded custom recovery, debloated, supercharged. i like it better than froyo. my hdmi out works. my cloud google music works. the music does not skip or pause. the only complaint is the screen lag coming out of sleep. i had forgotten about that.

now that i've tried 2.3.3, i'm staying w/ froyo.

Could you not sbf back to froyo, root and install bootstrap, then restore your nandroid backup?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluDog:
I am trying to install the latest cognition onto my samsung captivate. I have installed the gingerbread things successfully, however, when I try to flash the cognition kernal via clockwork mod, I get a signature verification error.

Furthermore, when I try to flash other kernals with an older CWM or the cf-roots, my phone just loops the boot screen. To fix it, all I do is put kernalKF1 back into the pda spot and start odin.

Also, I noticed that with zImage-root, I get the looping boot screen, but with the red fish instead.

Is the red fish supposed to still be in the boot screen after I flash the kernalKF1?

I am not sure if something is wrong with my odin or what... bottom line is, I want to install the latest cognition and be done with it. I have spent 7 hours on this already. lol at having an evening of free time.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichMD:
Flashing Cognition 5V2 is a little "tirickier" than most. DG posted an updated initial kernel. I would flash the ODIN version in step 2. That kernel supports EXT4 formatting tools for a "stock" kernel which normally would not support voodoo. I would start off making sure you don't have lagfix enabled for system or data, flash KF1 (without bootloaders if you have them already) and then start with step 2 - ODIN. Hopefully that helps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluDog:
This helped me out, thanks a bunch :) I used odin for the kernal instead of cwm and it worked fine. I have no idea why I didn't even try that. Sad thing is, I figured it was only going to take maybe a minute or two, if that, to get cognition installed, and it did... haha, hours wasted.

Again, thank you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluDog:
