[HTC EVO 3D] Skyphos:
Tell me what recovery you're using and I can give you a step by step (well for TWRP I can now...for CWM is have to ref my wifes EVO). Look for my post about TWRP nandroid backups in this forum for more info. Shoot for getting system, data, boot, and Wimax. Id also recommend a separate backup of just Wimax.

The steps (from memory for TWRP) are

Boot to recovery

Nandroid menu

Backup

Select the items mentioned above (I think its defaults plus Wimax)

Then backup nooaawz at the top.

Hope this helps
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
nandroid backups are very large for this device. nandroid backups are great to create a full system backup. you can also create individual nandroid backups per partition on twrp. creating a nandroid of the system partition should be a fairly good size.

in regards to theming and file editing, if you're looking at only making a custom lockscreen, it will save you time, effort and disk space to duplicate the files you'll be editing. i.e. if you are only going to edit a few files (as would be needed for the lockscreen), when you first adb pull those files, save a duplicate copy as the original somewhere safe. then if your edits break the file, reboot into recovery and adb push your original files back into place and you'll be set to go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrosilver:
Hey guys

What is the best cyanogen nightly build? Or should I use the stable version if I want an error free experience. So far I am having wake up issues on with the current nightly builds. For instance when I hit the power button, the home/menu/etc lights turn on but the screen remains blank. I have to hit the power button two more times to get the screen to come up.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
That's a known aosp issue with the Evo.

Its best to try a different kernel like tiamat or godmode.

The newer nightly builds are pretty damn stable.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
I agree with the script but I'm not sure how that relates to his issue?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atapia984:
I have read that disabling auto brightness and enabling Screen On animation helps. It's worked for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:
My screen does not have any waking problems. It could be that or too low of setcpu frequency

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
Nah, its an issue that only affects some Evo's. (A lot like the GPS and wake issues)

My current Evo has the issue but my last one and my friends doesn't.

My CPU minimum setting is 499mhz.
[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
I was trying to flash the MS2GingerBeta5 ROM but after 4th step it stucked on white M logo so I flashed clean 2.2.2 Froyo, rooted and tried to get to the CWM but I couldn't. I'm getting only black screen after M logo and that's it. Could someone help me?
[Milestone 2 General] Szadzik:
After step 4 do not reboot the phone, stay within CWM and perform steps 5-11.
[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
Yes I know but now is too late... now I can't even enter the cwm and restore the ROM...

Aaaaaa God... I was trying to use the Droid X Bootstrap instead the Droid 2 Bootstrap! But that's strange. I am sure I've bought the D2B. And it has been working for first time when I was restoring the 2.3.4.

EDIT: No, I restored my 2.2.2 nandroid backup and there is the DXB :P Shame on me xD
[Milestone 2 General] Szadzik:
Super. Mam nadzieje ze sie uda wgrac ten ROM, bo jest swietny.

I'm having a similar problem, but I was trying to install the all-in-one MIUI zip.

How did you solved your problem?
[Milestone 2 General] levicm:
Sorry guys,

I have posted here an issue about the 5th step of the Gingerbread guide, but reading carefully the thread I realized that this is about CWM black screen, not de stuck M on the Gingerbread guide.

I'm facing that problem and I'm desperate.
[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
Are you using Droid X Recovery bootstrap or Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap? You need this second one. In other way You will get black screen

Boot your phone to the bootloader mode (vol down + camera + power), connect usb, in RSD Lite chose FixedSBF (it have to be placed on C:\ and named f123.sbf) and click start to flash it. If you didn't do the 5th step, you can do this after flashing fixedsbf

[Milestone 2 General] levicm:
Hi mkmck,

I could make it. Thankyou for the answer.

After that, I have faced some issues and SOLVED them all, except for the $ key, changed to ₤.

I'd like to post my impressions about the rom, o the good ones and the bad ones. Where I should post? Should I create a new thread? In the general group?

Thank you all.

Maybe it will be very stupid question so Mods can delete it.

I have NO ANY experience in Linux or android. I have programming skills in Delphi and php but that's it - So because HTC Desire Z hardware seems to be kinda very simillar to Ideos x5 and this desire already have official 2.3 version is there any possibility just use that rom add drivers from ideos and use it? We all have different pc's but windows/linux runs in all of them :D so i think this should be the same :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Oxygen, MIUI and CyanogenMod are all Gingerbread based, so no need for another port IMO...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
But i think that people who made it for HTC maybe done this better (no offence here devs). I always read latest news on those roms and always something is wrong. Anyway Android os is **** IMO. It's ****ing minor update but you can't just install it..you need to ****ing programm it to make it work.. why windows xp can be upgraded but Android cant? :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
I assume you own a huawei x5 phone... didn't you know that it is an Android phone? And if yes, why did you get it if you think android is ****?

And you're wrong in thinking devs can't produce high quality custom ROMS as miui, oxygen and Cyanogen ROMS will show you. Yes, there are minor bugs, but they are being worked on.

On the quality of the android community, remember that it wasn't by chance that Samsung hired Cyanogen mod's founder...

Sent from my Huawei u8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
Just because i own android phone it doesn't mean that i don't think that it's not **** :) And yes android rocks, but it's **** what comes to upgrades and so on it's way to complicated... too much new versions coming up too frequently. As i read- 94% of iphone users uses newest versions of os, but only 0.4% of android users have the newest version :D So is this phone companies problem or Android-i think it's android, but i may be wrong.

And i respect the devs who makes custom roms, THEY ARE AWESOME, like Charlie Sheen! :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sanpsa:
It is more to the companies, that are holding the updates. They dont want keep older models up to date because it would hinder their selling of newer models.

If u want a phone that is allways most up-to-date, get a Google Nexus...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
You're absolutely wrong...from any perspective

I think that you have no BASIC understanding on Operating System and hardware components...

Every manufacturer releases updates, just like the one you quoted on this thread from HTC and to upgrade the Desire Z it's very easy, perhaps easier than windows Xp if you want to compare. So, that applies for Huawei in the same manner, except Huawei hasn't realeased 2.3 Roms yet.

Because every handset manufacturer, just like computers, has different hardware components within the phones, it makes the operating system very difficult to port from a handset to another and that's where devs come into equation.

To make this easier to understand, try copying windows files from an Intel machine and start that on an AMD machine...Let me know how that goes.

You're wrong about Android, it's not difficult at all to upgrade or install, in 15 minutes you can have a fresh installation done, with EVERYTHING you had in previous version of Android (including apps, contacts, settings etc) I'd like to see that happening with IOS from Apple, when it takes ages to do an upgrade, not to mention a fresh install...

Android is the most versatile operating system on the market at the moment and time will tell...It started from practically nothing and now it's the most used mobile OS on the market.

Now on this topic, which is useless by the way, this Rom is a stock one for Desire Z, which has absolutely no use for any existing development project.

This reply may sound a bit blunt, but you don't really know what you're talking about...:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
I know what i'm talking about, i just, as i mentioned, i do not know linux.

I very well know operating systems and that mobiles have a harware that have to be driven by software, and alll of them needs drivers... So as i sayd - take drivers from 2.2 and put them in 2.3 - if android is so versatile it should work. That's what was the main question- why it's not possible to do that. We already have Ideos drivers. Or you need to edit some core android files to fit hardware?

Anyway let's leave this topic, moderators can delete it :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
im not any linux expert, and i just have basic understanding of OS in principle back from my colleage days..

anyway i would think that there are already lots of experts working on this android phone, and if it's really that simple to accomplish, it should have been accomplished already..

and if it happens that we have to wait for each iteration of the update to get little bit of improvements here and there, there are reasons behind..

(this is from my experience as a java programmer for ten years..)

and finally, if u think u can out-smart those guys, why not go and prepare a ROM urself?

ur words will then be much recognised with a ROM to speak on ur behalf.. ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
WHo said i can out think them? Just i saw official ROM to work with this particular processor what ideos have and i was thinking-hey maybe that's what they need'ed - some "Drivers" for this processor so they can extract it and use it. That's it.

And it's sounds kinda very logic to me.

cause i don't uderstand - how it cannot work if 2.2 have all drivers need'ed so what's the problem? And that's the question because of no knowledge in Android, and i'm thinking from windows perspective and by that point it looks very easy.

[unless they need source codes of drivers and Huawei do not share them, so they cannot use compiled versions or something.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stan40:
hmm it sounds good, but let say that the processor and the GPU are the same like in the Desire Z, the RAM chip is different, the display is different , the mainboard is different the camera is different ,sensors are differnet and when we combine all that in one ROM with CPU drivers from Desire Z and all old rivers from huawei we get totall mess

So that why DEV's just make optimization of all that stuff to work normal (well thats why appears and some minor bugs because is hard to compile new drivers and software to run over them)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechSilver13:
I know the US model is coming out VERY soon but I really want to get this phone. Right now I am an infuse owner and was looking to just buy this outright since I used my upgrade on the infuse a couple months ago. Where do you guy recommend me ordering one? Or the one that seems to be the most reliable? I was looking at amazon and a few other site but just cant decide. Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Amazon. Nowhere will you get a warranty (aside from Expansys USA which offers mail in warranty back to the UK).

Plus with Amazon, my box was sealed and I got a Brazilian model that's one of the first to get 2.3.4.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compuguy1088:
Was that ordered directly from amazon, or from a 3rd party store fulfilled by amazon?

Also, they have used-like new galaxy s2 for $629.99, that qualifies for SquareTrade.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Directly from Amazon (i.e. "ships from and sold by Amazon.com"). I'm not fond of resellers for unlocked phones. I once ordered a Nexus S I9020A (for AT&T's network) from a reseller on Amazon. Sure enough, I received an I9023 (European model - not compatible with AT&T). I promptly returned it. I just trust Amazon direct and don't like rolling the dice with 3rd part sellers.

Careful on the open box...I ordered an open box SGSII from Amazon and received a friggin Verizon phone (used and beat up). Some jerkoff stole the SGSII and returned the box with a Verizon phone in it. See my photo on the product listing.

I have never ever had any issues with Warehouse deals (open box) items from Amazon, but got burned pretty bad with that one. The good news is Amazon kindly credited my account for the return and even gave me a $50 credit, making a brand new SGSII the same price. Can't ask for more than that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidnoobhelpme:
I bought my gs2 from Popular Electronics, who is based in Chicago. I live in Canada. Interesting experience with these guys. They have their store warranty, which is useful. I'm not sure how long that warranty is for. They ship free to the US too. Right now, the phone is cheaper than the one on Amazon. Plus, they have a "Low price guarantee" and will match any other prices anyway.

I'm from Canada. My first phone gs2 (brand new, fully sealed with seal sticker) was defected (hardware, touch screen didn't work lol). I called them and they gladly helped me with a replacement phone. I had to pay to ship it to them though :( 2nd phone, another hardware defect (line of dead pixels). Once again, it was brand new and fully sealed. They couldn't believe that of all the customers they've sold the gs2 to, I was the unlucky one to have 2 faulty phones. They took that one back too and sent me my current gs2 which runs perfectly smooth. If you call them, ask for Tahal (possibly spelled as Taha) He is the man!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Yep, that is my photo. Imagine how pissed I was when I got home, ripped the box open only to discover that...

As usual, Amazon made it right. It does piss me off that someone swapped it and made off with a SGSII. They probably paid like $100 on craigslist for that Verizon junk. Punk.

The only way I know is to first view the photo and then select the "Show on map" option.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetgaz:
Here is the image you wanted. What you need to do is view your picture within the photo album on your Android phone, press menu, then "show on map". You will be taken to the google maps app with a dot where the photo was taken.

A much better way though is to use the picasa web application (Google own that too!) All the photos that you have uploaded (you can set your phone to auto upload your pictures to picasa) can be shown as photo-icons on the map. Any number of such photos can be shown simultaneously.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsquare:
Thanks a lot! I see what you mean now!

So I'll have to download Picasa Web Application when I get the phone then? Can you do me another favour and take a screenshot of the Picasa Web Application with the photo-icons on the map?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetgaz:
OK here you go. One picture shows just the locations of the photos and the other shows the view where the photos are shown as icons in the exact place in the world. You can zoom right in or out to see more or less icons.

You don't need to D/L picasa - these screenshots were taken from the web application.

You could easily create a picasa account yourself and upload a few of your own pictures to see how it works.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsquare:
Thanks for the information. When you say it's an web app, you mean the mobile version of Picasa Web's website? This means that I can get that same feature if I were to load up the mobile version of Picasa Web on my iPhone 4 as well right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetgaz:
I meant the desktop version at picasaweb.google.com

I don't know whether there is an iphone picasa app or what it offers but there does not appear to be an official android app and the 3rd party ones do not appear to support geo-location. The mobile version of picasa does not appear to offer the geo-location facilities either.

[HTC EVO 3D] mbobino:
Introduction:

This is a port from the HTC MyTouch 4G Slide (DoubleShot) for public consumption on the HTC Evo 3D (Shooter). I have spent over two weeks working on this and have already bricked one Evo 3D in the process. I've made this ROM because I used to use Zenulator's ZenEXP ROMs on the Hero CDMA, I also made a MyTouch 4G port for the OG Evo for the same reasons. I guess I just like MySense way more than the original sense.

By the way, As far as I know, This is the FIRST device port for the Evo 3D! Just wanted to throw that out there.

Disclaimer:

By flashing this ROM you agreee that you do so at your own risk. Neither I, nor anyone else is responsible for what you do. I have made every attempt to make this ROM stable enough to use daily (IMO) however, your mileage may vary!

Screen Shots:

Not Working:

As of now the following are not working in order of my priority to fix them:

-WiFi (Turns on but doesn't connect to WPA)

-MMS

-Camera

-Camcorder

-Image resizing (WVGA to qHD)

-3D (Recognizes 3D pics but forces you to convert to 2D)

-WiMax

-Maybe a few others...

Working:

As of now the following has been tested to be working by me only:

-SMS

-Calls In/Out

-Data

-5-Button Rosie

Credits/Thanks:

-Chubbzlou for the original DoubleShot port on the OG Evo

-Zenulator for ZenEXP on HeroCDMA

-wdfowty for helping me get this thing deodexed

-myn for the inspiration to share and accept input from everyone

-dsixda for his amazing kitchen which without I would have never even began to learn this stuff

-911sniper and football for their RUU leaks

-Virus for porting damn near everything to the OG Evo (I beat you on this one buddy!)

-HTC and T-Mobile for creating such an interesting and functional overlay

+Anyone else I forgot to mention...

Add-ons:

-None for now

Changelog:

-v.BETA

Beta release numero uno! Some things obviously don't work.

Thanks man, finally a rom worth using.

How long until the framework is worked out? is it a tough task or something that shouldn't be a problem
[HTC EVO 3D] mbobino:
I'm hoping that the images I need are in our 3D stock rom. If they aren't then I'll have to use what little graphics design skills I have to modify them. All in all it should be relatively easy, just time consuming. Since I work nights at a place where I can't really use my computer I have to rely on my days off (Mon & Tues) to get a good chunk done. I'll be trying to get it going tomorrow once I wake up but theres no telling what all I have to do tomorrow afternoon.

I appreciate everyone input so far and want everyone to know that you guys that post here are the only reason I'm still here. XDA has really gone downhill lately with the ridiculous "Operation Iron Fist" and certain reasons behind denying "Recognized Developer" applications. I'm currently awaiting their reply to my appeal and if they maintain that I'm not worthy of said title while others that abuse it are then I'll be taking my work elsewhere. If you're curious as to what being denied looks like (which I feel should be public knowledge since HTC does the exact same thing) then shoot me a PM and I'll forward you my rejection letter.

Once again, thanks to all the users because without someone to use the ROMs, there is no reason to develop it in the first place.
