[HD7 General] j1mmyg88:
Android should not be on a WP7 phone as its a windows phone, if you want an android phone, just go and buy one, get a case with a kick stand on it and jobs done.

on another not, the google maps thing you mentioned, thats not down to microsoft, thats down to google not providing it. once again you could just get an android phone and be done with it.

I got both and have both as each have advantages over each other. my sim is generally in my android at the moment as it seems more logical, i can tether it to my windows phone and play my xbl games and download music and do what i want with my windows phone. and for the rare instances that i actually make a phone call, use my android handset.

oh and build quality, much better on hd2, made out of metal body rather than plastic, and better buttons too. not that the hd7 isnt bad but the hd2 was one of the best ive seen for a long time
[HD7 General] hardik_hrc:
to my knowledge you are using an HD2 with android build.

You are against porting android on a WP7 phone but at the end you are using android on a windows mobile.

if you wanted android why did you buy HD2 in the first place?

i think now you get my point that its always better to have choices.

See i dint start this thread for this android battle as i mentioned i started so that DFT guys know whats hot and they can work on that in the first place in their custom ROMs.

So if you want me to say android shouldnt be there OK YOU WIN!! but atleast stick to the topic.
[HD7 General] Snake.:
Since when are skype/flash support basic features of any phone?
[HD7 General] hardik_hrc:
whats the point of a smartphone if it cannot give me one complete on the Go web experience?

For current scenario Flash atleast for next few years is necessary for uninterrupted web experience.

and skype is ofcourse gonna be a basic function!

you not discussing about the 10$ phones so obviously you CANNOT list calculator and making call as basic function!!

and seems one controversy ends and the other starts!

I mentioned earlier this thread was started with intention to help DFT team to help understand user needs not to fight.

if you still wanna go on then send me a message and we fight on it instead of here.
[HD7 General] tfn:
1] They seem to have made serious improvements on the Bing Maps so hopefully it will improve more and more once they integrate it with Nokia Maps or so I have heard.

2] Skype is definitely coming to WP7

Facebook built in Chat in Messaging App is super brilliant and so is local scout.

To be honest I can't decide whether to use my HD7 or SGS2 :D.. I seem to keep flipin between them all the time.

The only reason I favour the SGS2 is cause of the better camera and googleplus and of course the apps :D

Other not sure But I for one will definitely getting a Nokia Phone, cause I am sure Nokia Phones will Rock
[HD7 General] JamesDax:
1. Once OVI Maps gets intergrated with Bing Maps you can keep Google Maps.

2. You do know that Microsoft owns Skype? Skype will be on Windows Phone. Oh, IM on mango is excellent.

3. What does this have to do with Mango?

4. In Mango, up to carrier to allow it.

5. Agreed and said to be coming.

6. HTML5 is the future. Screw flash.

7. again, what does this have to do with mango?

8. Plenty of good games on windows phone with more to come.

9. Will be a feature on some 2nd gen handsets.

'nuff said.
[Defy General] elinorkn:
Hi,

i had cyanogen 7 on my phone, and did one of the noob's mistakes of installing the 2ndinit (where the bootmenu is already installed).

it didnt even seem to install it (it said "failed"), but then i rebooted, and there you go- boot loop.

so i was calm since i've already faced boot loop with another defy, i started flashing an SBF using RSD lite 4.9.

every service flash i tried didnt work, it either-

said "please manually reboot the phone"- followed by a boot loop,

or

said "PASS", but then there was black screen with no booloader option.

then i moved to RSD lite 5, then 5.3.1- nothing works...

i read all the boot loop related threads in the defy, but i cant see anyone with the same problem of boot looping no matter which rom and which RSD lite version...

please help me!
[Defy General] labsin:
Go to stock recovery after the sbf and wipe data/cache. With the Phone off press VOLUME DOWN then, while still pressed, power up the phone and leave VOL key pressed until you see a Yellow triangle, once you see this you are in Recovery now press Vol Up and Vol Down at the same time (if you are in Froyo) and the menu will appear.

Edit:

Don't worry about the please manually reboot the phone instead of PASS. Happens a lot.

Also, I send a PM to total defy guide to add this.
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
Updated the Guide :)

I actually got this same issue myself.

Found the culprit was the SD Card, if you dont do a full wipe (Data/Cache) using Stock Recovery some files remain on the SD Card that prevents Android from booting correctly.
[Defy General] elinorkn:
that makes sense,

thank you so much for the quick response!

the thing is currently the only response i'm getting from the phone is the white led when connecting to the PC, meaning vol up,down, or power don't do anything...

I, myself am in a loop, tried so many SBF, some brought me to the not responding state, and some to the boot loop state.

i'm currently stuck in the "not responding" state,

so i'll try to get back to the boot loop state and follow your directions.

i didn't know i can reach the stock recovery that way...

tell me- i have another defy, do you think i can use it's SD card in this defy or is it too risky...?
[Defy General] labsin:
Just put your defy in your pc. If the let is white let it rest for a while so you won't run out of power when you flash. then open rsd lite and flash a froyo sbf (I hope you didn't flash an 2.3.x gingerbread sbf). Let the phone power up for +- 10 min. If it isn't powered up by then, or you see the boot animation then black and again the animation, you have to wipe data and cache in stock recovery.

This isn't CWM recovery that is used to install CM. Only use this recovery for this occasion. If you have flashed an 2.3.x sbf, you will only see the motorola sign when you power up your phone and the wipe won't helpe. Then go to the defy beginners guide of Zephyrot and follow the instructions there.
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
mmm, it does look like you flashed a Full Gingerbread SBF.

If any Eclair/Froyo SBF is giving you blackscreens even after a fullwipe with stock recovery, after a full Stock SBF flash; is because you are probably on CG v5, meaning you flashed a Gingerbread SBF :(.

If there is no way for you to recover the phone using Froyo/Eclair SBFs, go to the Guide and search the part on how to Downgrade from Official GB to a Froyo rom, and then how to go from there to CM7.

Last part just got added,

Good luck :)
[Defy General] elinorkn:
i did try gigerbread, and i think from there on it got worse...

I cant reach stock recovery now since the phone is not responding...

isnt there any way to wipe using the RSD lite or maybe some other program which will recognize my device...?

ADB of course does not see it...

the thing is the RSD keeps saying "PASS" each time, so i unplug it, but then it wont power up...

are you saying i should leave it plugged for a while although the RSD says it's complete, or do you think i whould unplug it, and hold the power button for a long time...?
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
Man, if you tried Gingerbread, you dont have many options.

Please read the Guide completely before running out of battery, and then do the last part that explains how to recover your problem.
[Defy General] elinorkn:
I'm a woman, but that's ok :)

so i've followed your instructions from 1 to 9,

last step was deleting the data and cache, then rebooting (using "reboot system now" in the bootmenu),

but it keeps going back to the bootmenu...

I don't want to do any foolish mistakes now, so i'll wait for you reply-

can i install the MIUI zip already...? is it safe?

i'm shutting down the phone now, and waiting for you...

you have no idea how much you've helped until now,

thanks!
[Defy General] pmp326:
in bootmenu go to boot-->then choose either 2nd init or stock cant remember but one of them should boot and not get stuck
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
Oops! sorry had no idea!

It defaults to Bootmenu unless you specify it not to do so.

In bootmenu you should have an option to either make 2nd-init or Stock your default Boot.

Choose 2nd-init and reboot, you should be good to go :)

First boot into normal Froyo charge battery to 100% and then try MIUI.

I dont know if it will work tho! I added yesterday a new Part to the Guide to install CM7 after a full GB SBF has been flashed.

Its really really hard to kill a Defy, so dont worry too much :) if you run out of battery there's a McGyver way to charge it too.
[Defy General] gusnd:
I had the eternal bootloop issue as well, I just fixed doing all wipes necessary before installing any kind of rom
[Defy General] elinorkn:
well, i didnt want to wait, since i was afraid leaving it in bootmenu would run the battery out, and taking the battery out was a risk too...

so i decided to flash the MIUI before even booting into the froyo i just flashed (the one using the fixed SBF you posted...)

and it worked, and i'm happy with my beautifull rom :)

oh about the battery charging- i have 2 defys, so no Mcgyver for me...

anyway, Zephyrot, i liked your guide,

i think it's very well written,

i only have one question for future knowledge-

in the state of having the Eclair V5, why is it impossible to flash the MIUI/CM7 straight from that point...?

thanks again,

Elinor.
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
Thank you :D

Well, I first thought it would work, but it doesnt. Another user had the issue and he got stuck into bootloop after installing CM7 zip. It has to do with 2nd-init and the way you have to trick the phone to load an Eclair/Froyo Android while having a V5 CG.

It seems it works only with the goAPK Recovery or the old 1.4.2 2nd-Init.
[Defy General] elinorkn:
now google apps not responding :(

Hi again,

after problem was solved, i installed some applications, and at some point, all google applications seemed to stop working, including the market.

for example when hitting settings->accounts, it says: "the application settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again"

so i started over with the full SBF in your tutorial (wiped data, cache, dalvik)

and even with this rom, you can't use any google apps...

i've been searching for threads on this issue, but all i could find was "do factory reset", which i did, and it didn't help...

can you think of what could cause this?

it seems like some basic files are missing...

thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Moonie17:
Hi all!

I am excited to say that I received my transformer this morning along with the dock.

I am extremely impressed with the build quality of the device it is very solid!

I would just like some advice as to what is appropriate to be done to the device in terms of Modding. I am very comfortable with the hole rooting and custom rom process as I have been doing it with my current LG2x and previous hero.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] salbalboa:
root it using the nvflash in the dev section there is even a you tube video showing you also. i think that is the easiest way to do it.

the nv flash comes with a rom also but you can download new roms and flash them over using the cwm that comes with the nvflash also

all the destructions are in the forums just takes a little bit of sifting through

start in the devolpment section

oh one thing to check is the model number on your tf as i think most b70 models and higher there isnt a root available yet. if your lucky and got a model less than b70 then flash away lol

There is a strong benefit to change from version MiniCM6 1.0.2 to MiniCM7 2.0.7.

I say this because now it works perfectly the MC6, and this version got a lot of benefits that did not stock is the version, and if I change to another benefit would be.

thanks

[SPA]

Existe un beneficio con fuerza para cambiar de la versión MiniCM6 1.0.2 a la MiniCM7 2.0.7.

Lo digo porque ahora me funciona perfectamente la MC6, y con esta versión conseguí muchos beneficios que no tenía con la versión Stock SE, y si cambio a la otra tendría que ser por beneficios.

Gracias

[HTC EVO 3D] thre3aces:
I've been trying to Google this and got no results. All the youtubers I asked and all the Google searches I did and I got the same result. The cdma e3d is for the USA and gsm is for the rest of the world...ARRRR! I ALREADY KNOW THAT!

So can someone please explain the internal differences between the cdma and gsm 3d and why can't gsm users flash cdma Roms (if the radio remains untouched). I'm sure I'm not the only 1 wondering why the cdma EVO 3s gets so many more roms than gsm users.

Please don't flame at me if this question has been asked elsewhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] crypt0night:
I was also searching for this and already found out that its kernel related because it has some other drivers and stuff running to maintain the cdma network.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Theres kernel and framework differences. Even if you were to extract a gsm kernel, and put it into a cdma.rom, it still wouldn't work properly. I've looked at the frameworks for both phones, and there was a lot more differences in the code than I had previously anticipated.

The reason there are more cdma roms, is simply because there are more devs/chefs/tweakers that use/have cdma phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Also many old & new developers for the CDMA EVO 3D came from the EVO 4G, which had a huge following on the same carrier.

It was like a migration of birds.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
Ah, that explains it. I was wondering why there is so much more development going on for the CDMA E3D than the GSM, seeing as how Sprint is the only carrier using the CDMA. Stupid, multiple standards!
[HTC EVO 3D] iCaptivate:
Wrong.

Verizon and U.S Cellular both use CDMA.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
Migrate??? More like ransacked. This forum was full before the phone even came out lmao.

[HTC EVO 3D] mattykinsx:
Cricket, Metropcs as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
EL-OH-EL...

..thanks...hahaha, that was great.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
But do Verizon, US Cellular, or MetroPCS offer the EVO 3D? That's what we're talking about here, the EVO 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] thre3aces:
Thank you soooooooo much for that (ill make sure I whack the that thank button when I get on a computer. I was thinking something to do with kernel and framework but I never had time to check.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
I stand by my comment about stupid multiple standards. Get with the rest of the world, U.S. carriers! Stop being different just for the sake of being different. :D

Now, not knowing anything at all about ROM cooking, will it ever be possible that ROMs for the E3D may be able to support both CDMA and GSM, or is there no way to code that kind of logic?
[HTC EVO 3D] thre3aces:
Well kinda. It's not hard to write the ROM for the gsm EVO if you made a ROM for the cdma 1. But It's hard because It's gonna require testing on a device which the cdma dev does not have.

Am I missing something here? In the OP you say you lost all your apps but in your second post you say "...when I install the apks..." so you must still have the apps. Once you wipe your phone then flash a new ROM you have to re-install all your .apks anyway...unless I'm missing the point.

Are you using a third party launcher? If so try swapping back to stock and see if that helps. If not swap back again to the third party launcher and see if they've hey prestoed back.

Also, try backing up using Titanium Backup. Makes life easier after installing new ROM. Then I'd try a full wipe and reflash your new ROM.

Your SD card is obviously mounted if you can access the .apk's so I'd try the steps above first.

I get no issues with battery drain on any gingerbread rom on my x10 mini pro. It lasts 2 days with heavy usage, I get the same battery drain with using stock rom aswell so I experience no issues.

It may take a few days to get the battery draining right after a full clean install of a new rom for me but then it stabilizes.

If you are having big battery drain issues. Then how about saying what apps you use on your phone. Some apps are known to cause battery drain issues. Google Maps being one of the big ones on any gingerbread rom that we have.
