[HTC Desire S] Quark^2:
I just flashed LBC MOD 0.6.0 succesfully.

However, during the boot I still get to see the T-Mobile logo!

What did I miss? I'd like this to be gone....

I flashed from 4ExtRecovery, using the "FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4-for-saga.zip" zip script.

Apparently this hasn't cleared the logo?

What should I do to get rid of that?
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
Do you get the tmobile logo right at the start then followed by a moving boot animation?
[HTC Desire S] Quark^2:
Yes. I tried 2 cases.

Booting regularly:

- T-Mobile logo

- Green spinning android logo

- Booted

Booting from HBOOT / 4Ext Recovery / reboot:

- HBOOT (select recovery)

- T-Mobile logo

- 4Ext Recovery (select reboot)

- T-Mobile logo

- Green spinning android logo

- Booted

It seems to be very early in the boot chain.
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
Ok what you are getting is the splash screen, this is never changed by flashing roms. There are a few methods that you can use to change it. There is app in the market called boot flash. Or search the forums for a piece of software called android flasher. Both methods are easy to use. The hardest part is picking the picture that you want

One thing that really annoys me about my X2 is the fact that when it's idle and I want to use it, I have to first slide my finger left to right to unlock the screen, and then put in my security pattern to use the phone. It's a little redundant and stupid to have to do both. Now that I"m rooted, is there a way I can remove the initial left to right swipe screen unlock?
[Motorola Droid X2] Terri M:
There's a free app in the Market called No Lock. I have it, and it works great!
[Motorola Droid X2] berfles:
Ah that's right, someone mentioned that before but I wasn't rooted at the time. Thanks.

EDIT: Actually that takes both things off, I only want the initial sliding unlock removed, I still want to enter my pattern...

I found AntiLock which does what I want but is kind of shoddy... it shows the home screen for a split second before making you enter the pattern, and there's no emergency contact button down below. There has to be something else out there.
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
I use No Lock; put MIUI on my wife's nook color and No Lock was bundled with it. Seems to work well.
[Motorola Droid X2] berfles:
No Lock doesn't do what I want though, I still want some security in the form of the pattern lock. I just don't want the stupid left to right swipe screen, it's pointless.

Erm,not really sure.Do YOU have R00T? you can make it slightly faster using SETCPU/NOfrills :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] nick4nick:
Yes i have root
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
download SetCPU/NoFrills

it should make it slightly faster

ATM DooMkernel (dont quote me on this,and find out yourself :) )doesnt work with R8OOx .If it did,it would be REALLY fast :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Deoxlar:
Set cpu and no Frills does not overclock the play.

R800X with doomkernel v03 and FTSv05. OC's to 1.5 and undervolted. Kernel allows for up to 1.9 Check out the their threads and see if your system runs it... i have some minor hiccups but overall experience this phone is flying with this set up.

Order of steps:

Get root

Run cwr via freexperia fastboot (see thread)

Clear data and cache (i didn't but can't hurt)

Reboot into fastboot

Flash doomkernel thru fastboot

Flash fts rom thru fastboot

Run cdma patch thru cwr update.zip

Run Facebook patch thru cwr update.zip

Run gapps patch thru cwr update.zip

Download setcpu and incredicontrol from market, overclock, undervolt and enjoy!

you can connect to a device and itll say internet access but you fire up a browser and dont have a hotspot package itll say please upgrade to a hotspot plan blah blah

unless anyone knows what to remove from a stock rom to get rid of the built in hotspot software
[Xperia Play Android Development] rmreagle:
Stock kernel maxes at 1024... You need a custom kernel to overclock... You can still use setcpu to underclock the stock kernel if you're rooted.
[Xperia Play Android Development] rmreagle:
I saw someone post you could get tethering to work if you fooled it to think you had a different model phone. Nexus perhaps. Probably something to do with editing the info in the build.prop file but i haven't looked into it. Check out the other threads here to see if you can find a description...
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
There is no custom kernel for just the stock r800x that will allow overclocking with out incurring numerous bugs. The only way you can overclock without multiple issues is to flash a custom kernel and one of the custom roms. Nofrills or a similar app will allow you to increase the cpu minimum speed with the stock kernel so that it will respond faster from an idle state, but no actual overclocking will occur.

Also this should be posted in the general section as it is a question.

Hi everybody! I have the generic GB installed (rooted) and I installed xRecovery on it yesterday so that I can apply the audio stutter fix. It worked wonderfully and my phone got rid of the annoying problem and I want to thank everyone that made this possible. But... after the install for some reason I have the following issue. When my headset is plugged in (which is all the time) and I receive a call or a notification, the sound doesnt come out of the phone's speaker as usual. It only rings through the headset. That was not the case before. I couldnt find any settings to change this and put it back as it was. I really dont know what happened and how. Can anyone that has the Generic GB installed and xRecovery and the stutter fix installed on top of it please confirm this? Thanks everyone in advance!
[HD2 General] Deleted member 3238343:
Hi, I have been using Android basically since day one when I got this phone. I have been experiencing random restarts lately and think it could be a hardware issue. I already tried different Android ROMS and also tried using it from a clean state (no extra apps installed)...so it comes down to possible hardware/motherboard issue. I want to send it back to HTC for a replacement.

I ran HSPL3 and it's back to 2.10.0000 SPL now. I found an update for the T-Mobile US (1024) stock rom (3.14.531). I restored it back and everything looks ok now. The only thing I'm worried about is the radio version. I remember putting 2.15.50.14 on it and still see it. From what I see here, the radio should be 2.14.50.04 for this latest update.

My main question (just FYI for my knowledge) is shouldn't restoring the T-Mobile software restore the radio version also? It looks like I'll just have to flash the radio back myself.

The original specs I had were:

R 2.10.50.26

G 15.39.50.07U

D 2.13.90693 8G

I guess I don't need to worry about the 2nd and 3rd one right? Forgot exactly what they meant (read it somewhere) but the radio is what worries me.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] johnerz:
No the radio will not change by replacing the rom, you need to choose the radio of your choice and flash it to the phone

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611787
[HD2 General] Deleted member 3238343:
So should I flash the original radio back (2.10.50.26)? I read in one of the posts here that for the 3.14.531 ROM, it should have the 2.14.50.04 radio.

Haven't ran into any random restarts yet after I restored it back to the Windows Mobile ROM. Might have to go back to square one if it doesn't happen in Windows but only in Android.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] SPEEDHAMMER:
You should flash Radio 2.15.50.14 and HSPL2.08 for your phone,in order to run android.Since,you have flashed your stock ROM,i think its best you start fresh from the beginning.Start with HSPL,then radio. Have you tried both SD and NAND builds? and did you use MAGLDR?. If you still experience boot cycles, you might want to try TASK 29. If you are launching Android from WM, you should want to flash a custom WM ROM that works well with Android.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yes it sounds like you may have a hardware issue seeing as you have tried different Android NAND ROMs.

If you still see the 2.15.50.14 radio then it is still installed on your HD2. The question though is did the radio version with the stock ROM get upgraded to the 2.15.50.14 version from the 2.14.50.04 version.

To answer your question yes the radio version does get flashed when you flash a official stock ROM via RUU. The radio version that the ROM contains is the version that gets flased.

Thanks for providing the original specs on your HD2 as this lets people know what your original stock ROM was and the original radio and base band versions wee too. The R is the radio version, the G is your Base Band version, and the D is the ROM version.

Not true, if you flash a official stock Windows Mobile ROM via RUU (USB) it will change the radio version to the radio version included in the ROM. This is why TMOUS HD2s get bricked when you flash them with a international ROM. The radio versions in the international ROMs are not compatible with the TMOUS HD2.

I would flash the radio version that is known to be the radio version included with the stock ROM. HTC will be looking for two things basically. One if the radio, base band, and ROM versions all match up, and two if you have SPL on the device and not HSPL. If either of these do not pass HTC will deny your claim.

I agree with member kawshigan, you should check and see if HSPL was removed and replaced with SPL by the stock ROM flash, check the bootloader screen to see if you still have it. If you did it via RUU than it did not. But if you flashed it via SD card then it did remove HSPL. Either way you have to have HSPL flashed to you HD2 to flash MAGLDR or cLK, you also have to have it to run a TASK 29. Once you are sure you have HSPL on your HD2 you I suggest youi run a Task 29, next flash the 2.15.50.14 radio, then flash MAGLDR or cLK (wich ever one you want to use), then flash Clockwork Mod Recovery, and then use Clockwork Mod Recovery to flash your ROM via .zip file on your SD card.

Ok so I have been rooted for quite sometime... I'm currently on miui 1.8.26 I've had no problems... well I recently to tried to install busy box and I returned with your device is not rooted... so I tired going into root explorer and now it doesn't run at all.. so I tried es file explorer I goto mount and it say mount failed... so anything that requires root does not work.. I get the permission from super user but I'm guessing it just doesn't mount.. now I'm wondering if I update to a new rom it might not work due to it not mounting... am I wrong? By the way through terminal explore I type in su and it returns a # sign..
[EVO Shift 4G General] thronnos:
Do you have a nandroid? Try using it and see... If it still doesn't work maybe try rolling back to an older busybox? If still no try maybe using the 2.2 RUU... Or even just do a cache/dalvik wipe... Idk, maybe someone else has better ideas

[HTC Inspire 4G] timpilcher:
I've tried to root my ATT HTC Inspire a couple of times over the last few week - I always end up w/ the same issue.

Using the XDA Hack Kit 2.3, the process proceeds smoothly . . goldcard, check. down grade, check. after the downgrade I can run setup and have full network access, etc.

But when the S-off / sound fix install step is completed, I am unable to secure access to the internet, period. In set-up, I get an "unable to determine your region" message for HTC sense. I can not set up google services because "the server fails to respond" ... I *can* connect to my WiFi network no problem. I can make calls, but every website I try to access is "not found".

I've tried a number of different radios, all give me the same problem. I'm tempted to say it's some type of DNS error (looks like the symptoms of one, anyway) but I'm not familiar enough w/ Android to know if that's a good guess.

SO I've returned to stock today for the 4th time. Any ideas? I don't see this issue posted anywhere . . if it is, just point me in the right direction, and I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

[HTC Inspire 4G] imheroldman:
@timpilcher, hey just happened by this post and thought I could lend a hand. I'm from evo 4g forums.

However, ROM's and radios are two different items. What it sounds like you need to do is flash a custom ROM, and then upgrade your radios. I am sure there is a thread for that within your section that contains the updated radios. These have to do with the actual signal of you're phone, where the ROM is just the interface.
[HTC Inspire 4G] timpilcher:
Thank you.

Yes, I guess I was confused. The radio files are named "rom.zip" in the install procedure, and they are placed in the "rom.zip" directory in order to be installed w/ the XDA cmnd script. I'm familiar w/ flashing custom ROMs in PCs, but I've never had need to mess w/ a phone before.

So, yeah, I found it confusing. Thanks for clearing it up.

[Off-topic] DBBGBA:
Hello all, I know this will sound like a rant against the phone but in reality I just want to know if others share my opinion or if I'm alone on this one thus making the "problem" me.

I recently bought an HTC sensation 4g and I have a problem called companies customizations!

My problem with sense is that it has tons of apps that I don't need: ereader, stock; or other that I need but are bloated: weather.

It's probably a seller to see big cloud on such a great screen, but on the long run I wished it opened up immediately with the hourly forecast and less fullscreen animation to drain battery.

I heard a lot of my friends that didn't like android (mostly hated samsung or htc) and I never understood why. My nexus one with stock android wasn't the prettiest phone to look at (compared to iphone) but with some customization it was quick, usable and provided more functions than pretty graphics. But now I know! With loads of extra useless apps and their contents or awkward design choices (like the not very friendly coverflow looking thing to choose backgrounds and such). Yesterday I heard from my friend that his girlfriend galaxy s came with avatar and they had a long struggle trying to remove it from the phone sd card because they didn't care about it. When I checked the phone the avatar icon was still there since they're not very tech-savvy.

Don't get me wrong I don't hate my phone, the hardware is great, the screen is better than I expected, I love android, but that extra stuff that I really don't need should have an easy way to come off, it should not be installed in a way that I can't remove it without rooting. No wonder why people hate android... it's because they mistake android for the extra load it comes with it that slows down the phone, uses their monthly data and drains their battery. Apple doesn't do that and there's a reason "normal" people tend to pick up an iphone so quickly.

I wish there was an official way to ask companies to make all this stuff optional! Please don't think that I have it with HTC or sense, I'm referencing sense because that's what I experienced this problem with. Let me know what you think maybe if others have this issue with companies, we could organize a petition or something?

That's not android its more of a service provider and hardware supplier way of getting a cut from development companies .my Samsung had a heap of unwanted bloatware and service provider crappy useless battery consuming memory hogging apps the best thing i ever did was root this phone no more random reboots battery improved by 50% and everything on the phone is what i want on it not something that the companies think or want you to have on it .So with all that said if you have patients and can do some searching on the xda forums you will find a solution to what you want to achieve on your device .Believe me if you like it now you will love it when you get it the way you want it.

Hope that help .

I moved from iphone 4 to the SGS2.

One thing i know whatever i do to this phone it can be fully restored back to stock and the warranty will still be there providing i don't brick the phone
[Off-topic] Archer:
He said that himself :rolleyes:

I could not agree more with the OP. I used Nexus 1 builds on my HD2 for about 8 months and loved it. I've now got a Samsung Galaxy S2 (I just wanted a newer, faster phone, but with the same size screen), and despite being a great phone I found myself longing for that AOSP experience. I tried a couple of AOSP ROMs in the SGS2 forum and breathed a sigh of relief at how much difference they made, but they unfortunatly aren't currently stable enough to use day-in-day-out. So I've recently gone down a different route - MIUI. I've literally only done it today, and so far I'm loving it.

Anyway, I digress. There should be some manufacturers out there that recognise this gap in the market and sell basic Android phones, with no other crap on them. I know Google do that (obviously), but I wish more did the same. People shouldn't have to know how to flash a ROM or root and freeze apps, just to get the best possible basic Android experience available.

Rant over :)
