If you are rooted and would like to run the new 2.3.4. OTA updated. just install this rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1247253

it is the same thing as the OTA but in .zip form. you can flash in clockworkmod and go.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
If you have ClockworkMod Recovery, you'll need Android Recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truegrass:
Thanks for all of your replies. I have the slcd screen and the last time I tried to flash a rom it almost bricked my phone. It was a huge head ache, so I stopped. When I had an Eris, I was flashing roms all the time... but there was something about the way the slcd screen and some roms would work and others would not...

I hope this works...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbtha1:
Not sure if having an SLCD screen has anything to do with it. I have an SLCD screen and i have flashed many Roms with no issue. Which Roms have you tried installing?
[G1 General] kkritsilas:
Hi,

I have an unlocked, rooted, Rogers Dream. The radio is at 3.22.26.17. I have installed Amon RA's recovery (1.70R). I have also installed SPL 1.33.2005 (after a little bit of clarification on the use of recovery). I would like to install the Ginger Yoshi 1.4 (Android 2.3.5 based) ROM.

In the requirement for the Ginger Yoshi ROM, it says that it supports the 32A machines (which I am assuming this phone is, based on the 3.22.26.17 radio), and needs SPL 1.33.2010. I have not been able to find the 1.33.2010.zip file anywhere. Is there someplace I can get this so that I can install it?

[G1 General] beav_35:
There is no such thing as a 32a HTC Dream. Making assumptions like this will get your phone bricked. The 3.xx radios are buggy so I would recommend flashing a 2.xx radio and Amon RA's 1.70 (without the R) recovery then you can just treat your phone like a G1.
[G1 General] kkritsilas:
Hi,

Thanks for the reply, but now I am more confused than ever. If I flash the 2.XX radios, doesn't this make the Rogers Dream into a T-Mobile G1, meaning that I would only be able to use the T-Mobiile radio frequencies, not the Rogers/Telus-Bell ones. I would be limited to using Mobilicity and Wind as carriers?

If I do indeed retain the Rogers/Telu-Bell Bobiity radio frequencies, I would assume that I would need to reflash the Amon RA 1.70 recovery (non-R version), the radios, and the 1.33.0013d SPL? After that, the generic Ginger Yoshi 1.4?

Sorry if I sound lost, but I followed the rooting the Rogers Post 911 Wiki to get to the point where I am now, and while I had a couple of small hiccups, it went fairly well, and the phone works; its just pretty constrained by the memory limitations. I want the Ginger Yoshi on the phone to elimiate the memory size issues, but don't want to keep flashing the phone due to the potential for bricking it (I'm still pretty new to this, so I don't know if I can recover from bricking the phone, and I do like it).

[G1 General] RcklssNdngrmnt:
I just answered this same question yesterday over here.
[G1 General] beav_35:
Flashing your radio will not change the frequencies that your phone uses. It is a physical difference in the antenna not the software. Follow this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139

Yes, you are correct about this.
[G1 General] kkritsilas:
RcklssNdngrmnt and beav_35:

Thanks for all of the help. I did as you recommended; used fastboot to flash the RA version 1.70 (non R), Radio 2.22.37.08, and SPL 1.33.0013d. I then loaded the Ginger Yoshi 1.4 fix 32a_b,zip, and all is fine. It is working well (and I hope it will be stable). Thanks for the patience and taking the time to post the links.

I bought this phone to learn my way around Android, and it has been an eye opener.

does anyone think it'd be possible to run ubuntu on the x8? :)
[XPERIA X8 General] AntwnhsAnt:
Since the devs unlocked the bootloader it is possible to run ubuntu...(I guess)

Wait for someone to make a tutorial or search in google for running ubuntu on other android devices!
[XPERIA X8 General] z.simaitis:
I tried but with no luck. x8 kernel do not support loop something.. I managed to start it in command line (or I think so) but main desktop did not load. But it is possible overall on android. Tried androlinusDOTcom tutorial
[XPERIA X8 General] chal61:
I never tried, but I can't find a -convincent- reason to do it...

Why ubuntu? there are way better distros for ARM/embedded devices
[XPERIA X8 General] krzysiek_grucha:
Maybe try this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17379419#post17379419. I used Debian from HTC G1 and ran it on X8, it is working just fine, even when I also got an information, that my X8 is not supporting loop and ext2. Maybe You'll find it usefull, because this is almost one universal way to run every distribution with prepared debootstrat image. If You have some more questions let me know.

I will try to run Ubuntu in the nearest future, but now I'm happy because of Debian running :) . It is only a chroot, not a full replacement of Android, but it can run most of tools.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] IBtokin:
Hi. This is a minor issue that may or may not warrant a new thread, but I wasn't able to find a similar post anywhere.

I'm rooted and S-off'ed with Revolutionary method. I am in the process of cleaning up all the bloatware on my phone. I am using TiBu, backing up every app before uninstalling, then performing NAND backup after verifying stability. At first after uninstalling several apps deemed 'safe', I encountered a problem where my phone would show two mt4gs splash screens then boot into clockworkmod recovery. I since narrowed it down to the Qik video chat app.

Has anyone else had a problem with uninstalling this specific app? Is it tied into the ROM that much where removing it would prevent me from booting up normally?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Phater:
I don't recall removing qik ever cause any issue for me. If you are worried that removing certain apps might cause trouble, you can first try freeze them using apps like AntTek app manager before you remove them completely.

Or you can try the custom MT4GS ROMs on the developer forum. Those ROMs already removed most of the bloatware.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] IBtokin:
Would the fact that I reinstalled the stock rom from the repack on this forum?

*Would that cause a problem in booting?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Removing qik would not cause that issue. Lmfao.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Good method on the backups after each change, you now have an interactive log of your progress ~ everyone should experiment so carefully.

qik has never given me an issue that I can recall. I usually remove it with the other T-Mobile apps I don't want, like ecid.apk ( name ID ) for instance.

I freshly reboot the phone, uninstall all the T-Mo apps and all known supporting files/directories, reboot to recovery and clear dalvik cache and phone cache, then reboot the phone and let it rebuild cache.

After it boots and runs for about 5 mins, I reboot it again and let it run for about 2 minutes before doing anything else with it.

I don't think qik itself has anything to do with your issue at hand, it sounds more like it could be a bad install - maybe a corrupt download of the ROM. I don't think anyone else has reported this specific problem with the stock ROM for download here, but have you read through the threads for it?

I haven't used that ROM yet, so I can't speak for it from personal experience.

It could also be a bad Clockworkmod install. Again, maybe a corrupted download or...?

What version of CWM are you using? If you aren't using CWM 4.0.0.9, then i'd recommend upgrading to that and seeing if it solves your issue.

If you're up to it, though, re-download the ROM your using and install it fresh, before you upgrade CWM. If it was a bad download or install the first time, then that will fix your issue.

I still recommend upgrading to CWM 4.0.0.9 anyway if you haven't, even if a fresh ROM install solves your problem.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] IBtokin:
Thanks for the advice, Blue. I since then have just frozen the app and finished de-bloating the device. Right now I'm trying Undead's Senseless Rom, but if I go back to stock, I'll keep this in mind.

You can also use the included Google Nav app offline.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nozerogravity:
Hi and to the case...

Everything was ok until today. I'm on JVP / Semaphore 1.3.0a with some scripts in init.d folder like ramscript. I don't really know what could happened, but scripts are no longer working. When I try to load them manually via script manager most of them respond "permission denied" or "are you root?". Ofc I'm root :D

I tried reinstalling busybox, tried delete it and reinstall the kernel (which have it's own version of busybox). Busybox is in the /sbin directory installed by kernel. When i try to install it (1.6.2) in other directory - /system/xbin ; /system/bin it give the same result - scripts not working.

If anyone could help I'll be grateful.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nozerogravity:
Tried Galaxian GT kernel few minutes ago with same result - scripts can't be executed. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratosk:
Check the permissions of the scripts. Change it to rwxrwxrwx.

Also uninstall all extra version of busybox. Semaphore kernel has an embedded busybox version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nozerogravity:
Thank you for reply.

Double checked that, permissions are ok. Busybox is only installed by kernel in /sbin. Scripts are not running and I srsly don't know why. Till today everything was fine :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratosk:
What did you change today?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nozerogravity:
That is very good question!

I didn't change sh#$, excuse my language. If I think about it... I only installed Titanium Backup Activator (needed root who knows for what). I wanted to test Pro features before buying cuz TB is expensive, wanted to know if I really need the Pro features.

Maybe that activator did something? But everything beside that works. I'm so confused. I only know one thing... I will never try pirated apps again :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darckengel:
TB has his own busybox (1.18.4). But it should not interfere with Semaphore ones (it does not on my phone).

Try to delete this file:

/system/xbin/busybox

It should solve the problem.

Btx, you can use last version of semaphore, it's compatible with JVP.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nozerogravity:
Thank You for reply.

Will try after work. And thanks for the headsup on new version. With the last one I have ... yeah, problem with scripts, so I sticked to 1.3.0a.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikachu01:
Busybox issue. Install busybox installer and install 1.17.x in /xbin. Remove all other instances of busybox and it'll work. Make sure the permissions of the scripts in init.d is rwxr-xr-x.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nozerogravity:
Thanks. Will try that also and I will post the results.

[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Can you be more detailed and post how you are attempting to load the CWM recovery?

The working method, as far as I've seen posted here would be flashing the cwm recovery image through fastboot.

Brief Directions: vol down + pwr - plug in usb - select fastboot.

from computer, fastboot flash recovery c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img

Hope that helps!
[Acer Iconia A500] lbhocky19:
any solution to this? happens to me pretty often when i let it sleep for a while. it helps if i don't leave wifi on, but sometimes even with it turned off i'll have to reboot. and the battery tends to drain a lot when it happens as well
[Acer Iconia A500] lalcaraz:
The same here, but i solved (kinda) by setting the tablet to Airplane Mode before "suspend" ...

Seems to be something on the area of Hardware Related issues.

That's why maybe they set a reset button ... have never seen any of those on other tablets so ... :p
[Acer Iconia A500] lbhocky19:
Mine is always in airplane mode.

Didn't even realise there was a reset button I just hold power for10 seconds then power on
[HD2 General] ottoman96:
Hey guys!

I'm excited to say that I'm about to buy an HD2!! I'm finally getting up to speed!! (Upgrading from my Topazi)

I'm planning on buying this off of ebay, but I'm not sure what to look for when selecting it. I'm going to buy new, even though it costs more... I've got AT&T and don't know if i can get a t-mobile one or if i have to get one that ebay says will work with AT&T or if i'm just putting too much thought into this...

Any tips you guys could offer on choosing one off of ebay? Thanks in advance!!
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
for att get the austrailian (telstra) version, not the tmobile one - this will allow you to get 3g. or if you get the tmobile one, you will NOT get 3g, just edge. (this is a hardware issue.)

other than that, i guess everything you look for is well, what you should look for, ya know?
[HD2 General] Tref:
Make sure it has five buttons on the front, not four as at least some of the Chinese clones have.

Buy only from someone with very high feedback, and a significant number of them.

Avoid buying something that has a stock photo in place of actual photos of what you are paying for.

By the same token, avoid items whose photos are blurry or hard to see. Good sellers have nothing to hide and won't try.

I recently bought my second HD2, this one a brand new unit, and it was a good deal all the way around. But I'm very careful. You should be too.

Ask questions before you bid. In my years of buying from eBay sellers I've come to use this as a way of gauging good service. If you can't get an answer to a simple question, you're unlikely to get one if you experience a problem with the transaction. Good service starts before the sale imho.

Good luck!
[HD2 General] ottoman96:
Thanks for that, it would suck to not have 3G up here... I can't find anything that specifically states "Telstra" or australian on ebay for new HD2's... I'm searching by compatible carriers and AT&T comes up- would that one work? Here's an example.

Thanks again in advance!

BTW- Do you live on/near MN 78? I'm near MN 33... I like the pic :)
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
Sorry mate for the late response. I don't know what the difference is for the telstra in looks. But I would assume it is NOT the one you mentioned unless it specifically states so. My guess is the one you linked is the European version. I woulf pm kameirus as he did what toy want to do.

And am a Minnesotan but in mpls. The highway sign just worked with my handle.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
@rdejager, thanks for putting in all this work to make the old look new!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
cool! by the way, I take full responsibility for planting the seed that VE4 is fastest available.

I was chatting with saj offline and told him to try it with fly 11c (which is the fastest of the older kernels, much more of a useful kernel imho than fly 12 which breaks some touch capability in some games).

he was like, yea, great kernel! amazing! so fast! but he was using it on a 2.1 sense rom, not ve4.

I was like, you GOTTA try ve4. most responsive rom ever, and even better with this kernel dude.

and he was like, ok, I gotta revive that thread since you're all over that rom.

and so we went on there and tried to get ppl seeing how amazing it is.

Soooo, I'm happy that the guy who saw our posts was you since you're the coolest theming customizing hero-dedicated rom modifier I know!

congrats on the cool "new" old rom!

and don't forget ppl. ve4 is super fast because it doesn't have a lot of extra stuff in it, like all of the bigger later CM features

Credit specially also to the original developer of VE4 RaduG who worked bloody hard on the rom to get it running this well way back in the old days (>1 year ago LoL).

Suggestions:

Maybe 3d gallery should go though? I hate it, one of the best htings about VE4 is that it uses the previous 2d gallery which was WAY faster and everybody liked better than the crappy photo-missing slow 3d gallery that is synonymous with android these days. there was so much backlash against 3d gallery when it came out and radug decided to keep in the 2d gallery because it's more reliable (doesn't skip photos like 3d gallery STILL does even these days), and is just way faster and lighter.

Also remember this is a 2.1 vanilla-early cm rom (back when cm was nearly vanilla at least). So maybe you should leave IN that voice dialer thing since voice control wasn't as integrated into 2.1 aosp android as it was in later firmware. However I haven't tried alternatives to the voice dialer from VE4 yet in this rom to know if it will still do voice dialing in other ways. I DO know that bluetooth doesnt' support voice dailing in this rom, at least not in ve4 so prob not in this rom, but I talk loudly when driving and using the non-bluetooth voice dialer to make calls still. So it's a useful addition to keep in this rom maybe.

but aside from those possible suggestions imho, I'm blown away and will be trying your new rom right away!

congrats!

Don

edit: and yes, I read and know that I Can add those apks back in if I want to. I'm suggesting them be in by default if they are actually better solutions for everybody when wanting a fast light rom like this one. cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Like I said you can all smash it in there your self if you like. I hate it and for me the 3D one is as fast as the 2D one in loading stuff. Except the first startup. And since my language is dutch and the voice dialer thinks is mongolian or something I call the whitehouse then I say bel Mandy. That is why I removed it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
last time I said "bel Mandy" was....

wait, huh?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
I agree, 3d gallery was/is a P.O.S.

Have you ever tried Quickpic? (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&feature=search_result) It is free and very fast.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
That is not true, I think XD

Yea and I did not really like it XD

Cuss I love you all there is an option on the first post for Gallery2D.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
awww, you're such a sweetie :eek:

thanks for that one :-)

by the way, vlingo is a great free speech recognition tool for this rom, free on market, aside from not supporting bluetooth it gives the best results in ve4.

flashing this now...

by the way, +1 on quickpic. 2d gallery and quickpic are both fast, I think 2d gallery is faster when viewing pics full screen and tapping previous/next buttons, but quickpic keeps subfolder organization in the UI And is faster at remembering and displaying all of the thumbnails. quickpic is definitely a solid option for aftermarket installs if anyone wants to play with it.

cheers

like I said in the ve4 thread, ve4 with fly 11c is so fast that it feels like an iphone, but better cuz we have dedicated hw buttons for menu etc (the lack of which is the biggest design mistake in iphone/ios imho). oh, and we have full multitasking... which is actually useful in this rom due to how light it all is.
