There are "allot" of tegra 2 devices coming including tablets. And that's positive because that means more optimization from developers. Also it means its just a matter of time, until skype releases a tegra 2 working version with video call support.
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Latest Topogigi's ROM runs like hell!!! Try it.
[LG Optimus 2x] deff_ins:
well this is hard lesson for me. lg 2x is my first andro phone and i did not had a clue that original soft will be so buggy. cyanogen mod solves this problem, also there is no unexpected shutdowns for me with this particular custom firmware, but a2dp is NOT working and i cant understand who to blame about this? nvidia? lg?

anyways, before i will buy my next phone i will double check on what platform it is, and what possible issues could have developers making custom firmwares.

topogigis, modacos, blazing dragon custom firmwares were also very buggy on my phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] Levus:
I used to HTC phones and all i can say is that O2X is not that bad. For the record mine is working flawlessly, and it seems that the latest leaked GB ROM-s and their cooked forks are getting better and better. I say that for example Topogigi's latest 1.6 ROM is far the best ROM i ever had.
[LG Optimus 2x] davjan:
the 1.6 version of topogigi's rom is total bugfree in my eyes

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph03n!x_SA:
I recently rooted my Galaxy S for the first time, and in the process also installed a custom ROM.

I tried several differnt ROMs, but ended up choosing the Hawkish Premium3 [JVP]Special ROM|GALAXY SII.

Although this ROM is great, there are some issues, but being new to all this, I am not allowed to post a comment or question on that thread.

Here are my issues::confused:

1. The touch tones for the dialer don't work, so in order to use the dialer I have to disable touch tones. I have downloaded different phone.apk files, but after installing, the problem persists. Is there a dialer app I can download to flash onto my device to fix this problem?

2. The Messenging app also seems to have a bug. The messaging itself works, but when I receive a new SMS/MMS, then the Messager app FCs. I have installed different MMS.apk updates, and flashed 2 others, but non fix the notification problem. Is the problem the message app or something to do with notifications? Please share link if possible.

Both these apps are, I assume, ported from Galaxy S 2 ROM, hence the issues when porting. Any links to similar apps for Gingerbread would be appreciated.

Thanks guys :)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcprobs:
Hi, my 6 week old xperia arc suddenly went dead and does not switch on. None of the led lights are on, whether I charge it with its cable or other chargers. I removed the battery and put it back on; tried the software update yet the PC can't detect the phone.

I would like to try flashing it before I take it to the store and test a different battery. Flashing seemed to work for someone in this thread with the same "symptoms" : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829850

I would be surprised if it was the battery after 6 weeks and an excellent battery life of one day and half throughout...

Could someone tell me how to flash the phone? Cheers, Alex

P.S.: Carrier is T-mobile, phone is great, can't say I regret switching RIM for Sony but I was expecting the software to be a bit more glitchy...

If it's of any relevance: if I press the power on button it vibrates a bit when its not connected to the mains. if I continue pressing it it vibrates a bit every 6/7 seconds. The leds are never on.

By the way:

It´s a fact that you have a better sdcard read/write speed if your SD cache is only 2048.

There are apps on the maket you can use to set the value (but because of the fact you know what your cache is, I guess that you already have such an app)

Except it doesnt include data? $45 dollars unlimited talk and text from walmart pretty good damm deal! Anyone try this out yet? using tmobil cell towers

* Must be an unlocked GSM phone or any phone that works with T-Mobile. Phones from other wireless providers may have some limitations on call quality and download speeds. So it would be perfect for my hercules....CANT WAIT! but fail no data
[General Topics] caliga4221:
I compared it to the other options before I decided that for a flat 40.00 if i did not want/use data then it was cheaper and just as good to go with simple mobile. walmart still adds taxes on top of the 45 and you buy chunks of data. simplemobile does 40 unlimited text/talk and for 50? you add 1or2 gb data to the plan.

still for me, I stick to wifi for data and use 40.00 just talk and text, its all i need.

You just have to change the APN on the phone to web.omwtoday.com

The first phone is $45 /month and the all others add $25/month so it works out well for me and the wife.

It's unlimited talk and text.

You do pay for extra for data, they give you some free data upfront but then you pay for it in "Webpaks" which are $40 for 1gig.

This works well for me since I use WiFi at home and work.

Over the air so toucan download themes, apps etc. and install them by using the app. Requires internet connection.

Yes, dilzo is right.

It shows a list of available apps, themes, bootanimations, updates and kernels on your phone.

It then downloads your choice to a .zip file in the indroid-ota folder on the sd card.

Then you reboot in recovery and install the .zip file.

I can know this, I created it :P

It's working pretty well and is easier to use then going to the pc everytime.

Hey all

First time poster long time lurker

I finally took the plunge and rooted my phone (using Revolutionary)

Sadly, I'm stuck!

nb. On the boot screen (volume+Power), it says S-OFF

What do I do now, if I want to install a ROM (or revert back to my old build)?

Thanks in advance

ps. I've downloaded and tried to use fre3vo, etc. but can't get my head round it

pps. sorry for the long winded post
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Christ, that wasn't a long winded post....! :D

Next step is to install a custom recovery and root your STOCK ROM.

Although if you choose to download and install CWM as part of the revolutionary process you may already have the custom recovery installed. In which case simply download a custom ROM (which all come pre-rooted) to your SD and then flash it, although ensure that you read all the installation instructions first.

If you didn't install CWM as part of the S-OFF process then look at my signature where there are a couple of links

1) adb & fastboot

download this and extract contents onto PC

2) Flash CWM & su via fastboot

follow instructions in this thread to flash both the custom recovery (ensure that you get the version for your device SAGA)

Then I'd suggest you enter CWM and take whats known as a Nandroid backup of your device.

Then you should be able to download any custom ROM you like.

Any questions then ask, you should never do any steps that you are unsure or uncomfortable with as you can do damage to your device!
[HTC Desire S] Zofu:
Cheers for the reply, ben_pyett!

I'll make a start now

I know it's not that complicated a prcoess, but I kinda jumped in assuming it'd take 5 minutes, I guess
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
I've flashed the Cyanogen 7.1.0 RC by NeoLogix onto both mine and my wife's handsets... and I have to say it's VERY impressive!

Initially it doubled the battery life, and with some clever settings tweaks (which I'm more than happy to post here, menu by menu, if you end up using the same ROM) I've more than quadrupled the effective battery runtime.
[HTC Desire S] Zofu:
Ok I did this

I followed the instructions ("fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" -- where "recovery.img" was the Desire S CWM recovery) via my USB with the phone in Fastboot mode (white screen)

How do I enter CWM?

Do you mean turn my phone on normally and CWM app will be installed?

Seems I seriously need walking through this!

Grr
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
Here's the way I find best.... switch your phone OFF, but leave it plugged in via USB.

From your command prompt, type "adb reboot recovery"

The phone will then boot to recovery :)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Sounds like you've made huge progress...:D

I'm assuming that you've also push'd the SU file while in fastboot? if not do that as well.

At this point you should decide which custom ROM you wish to install and download that and all its add-ons and place them on you SD card so that you are able to use them once you're in RECOVERY. You should probably take the time while the ROM downloads to read the install instructions that come with the ROM, that often involve running additional WIPE scripts etc....but each ROM is different.

Anyway back to the question you asked, how to enter CWM (clock work mod) which is your custom recovery.

You should normally boot your phone and then go into Settings->Power->fast boot and ensure that its un-ticked.

Easy Way

Install ROM Manager from the market and then choose the Reboot into Recovery Option (second one down from top) and voila!

Manual Way

Power Off your phone.

Turn on your phone by pressing Power button + Volume Down button together.

You should now see the white HBOOT screen, using the volume up & down buttons to flick through options and Power button as enter you should be able to find the RECOVERY option. go into that.

Don't worry once you have a custom ROM things will be easier as most customs have an Advanced power Menu which has reboot into recovery as an option.
[HTC Desire S] Zofu:
Quick update:

I have no idea what the above^ means!

Ok, I got into Recovery manually (black Revolutionary screen with menu)

What do I choose in the menu to install a ROM?

- reboot system now

- apply update from sdcard

etc.

Does the ROM have to be at the root of the SD?

Can the ROM be named anything you wish, or does it have to be named "update.zip"?

Still a little confused!

Cheers guys for your super help so far
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
This is the option that you need install ZIP from sdcard

The ROM can be called anything you want, I never bother renaming the ROM files that the cooks call them, so that I can easily identify which is which and it can be position in any location on the SD not just the root directory. Although try to avoid directories with spaces in for now.

Update.zip is something else so don't use that option.

Once you've done this I'd also download and install the CUSTOM recovery EXT4 as its much easier to use....you can do that by simply installing the following APK which you'll find in this post and that will install the new recovery for you.

best of luck...back in two hours.....got to go and watch MANCHESTER UNITED NOW!
[HTC Desire S] Zofu:
Cheers Ben

Have fun!
[HTC Desire S] Zofu:
*edit: fixed issue with ROM install*

I decided to give Cyanogen 7.1.0 RC by NeoLogix's ROM a try and it seems to be working fine

Thanks for the helps, guys!

ps. if wanted to install another ROM, do I need to uninstall the previous one (wipe it again?), or can I just copy another ROM over and install like I did before?
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
Zofu i suggest you flash virtuus unity! its a great sense 3 rom. i love it! it has brought my desire s to life!!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You shouldn't be swayed by any of our opinions with regards which ROM to choose, I'd suggest that you install all of them one after each and decide for yourself which one suits you most

Although first question is sense or no sense.

The reason why there are so many roms is because we all have such differing tastes

Enjoy

PS

There is no UN install task, but each ROM will have its own install instructions in the first post of the thread which will have it's own wipe recommendations

Swyped from HTC Desire S using XDA Premium
[HTC Desire S] Bombastc:
I just got my Desire S as a gift not 3 days ago and it is my first android phone.

As soon as I realized that there is something wrong with it's rapid battery depletion - I started reading up on it and presently I have red led/green led tried to calibrate battery(i think it helped some), turned off all syncing to manual, changed themes to black and no animations, turned off bluetooth etc...Basically I have stopped everything "smart" on this smart phone following dozens of advice pages on this and other forums...Which then brings me right back to battery consumption of my DISPLAY - still, even after reducing brightness to under 40% it is using around 80% of all battery per charge.

I have rooted the phone today and really need your advice on:

what ROM

kernel

radio

OS

, or anything else in terms of apps and widgets to install in order to try and at least double my battery life so I can be safe without charging for at least 12 hours of i.e.( if I'm in a train to be able to watch a movie, listen to music 3 hrs, surf 1.5 hrs, do 3 or 4 15 minute calls , text and read books for couple of hours and still have battery left in standby) - or is it just a pipe dream of mine lol...

P.S. maybe avoid flashing ROM if there is another way to reduce Display consumption(80%) :rolleyes:

Thx much, btw, is Cyanogen is the way to go???
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
To add to ben_pyett's suggestion... I wouldn't exactly just "install each one, one after another" as there is actually a finite number of times the ROM can be flashed before you start to damage the internal memory (sure, it's a high number, but why cause more wear than you have to, right?)

I'd suggest you read up on the ROMs before you decide to try them out! Take a look at what features they have, what people have to say about them (particularly looking for bugs and potential problems).

Hell, if you're lucky, you may even find an introductory video to some ROMs on YouTube, which will give you a little more insight into what to expect.

As Ben said, the first question is "To Sense, or not to Sense?"

As a matter of personal opinion, I've chosen "not to Sense" in favor of better battery runtime and the "cleaner" GUI.
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
I spent days trying to tweak the stock Desire S ROM (and again after the update I applied ~ a week ago) with quite literally no success!

Even with the most riggorous (performance and feature restricting) power management setup, I still couldn't get the thing to pass the 18 hour mark (which I only achieved with the help of Tasker, used to toggle Airplane Mode during my sleeping hours etc.)

Having switched to the CM7 ROM linked previously, and using nothing but a combination of changing its default settings, and SetCPU (to scale the CPU clock for superior power saving with literally NO performance hit), it'll now run for almost 48 hours between charges (more than sufficient, wouldn't you agree?)

I'll post a separate thread in here with a complete battery optimization guide for the aforementioned ROM.

Just to clarify, after more than 4 hours running on the battery (at least half of which with the display on and the phone in use) it has gone from full to just 90%, which in itself averages to about 40 hours of runtime.

Coupled with my SetCPU scaling, this adds ~8 more hours!

This means that, with moderately heavy use (though I haven't yet had time to test absolute runtime with HD 720p video playback just yet) you can expect a screen & WiFi ON time of 24 hours, with a standby time (again, with WiFi on) of a further 24 hours!
[HTC Desire S] Bombastc:
La Kraven - can you teach me how to dougie lol? You really quadrupled your batt? :O
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
Yes.... and just to give you some comparrative reference:

Battery Use:

Mobile Standby: 74% (that's the GSM radio)

Wi-Fi: 12%

Phone Idle: 9%

Display: 4%

Android System: 2%

EDIT: The GSM registers heavily on "Mobile Standby" because I cannot get any cell reception where I live (AT ALL), so the GSM is idling, constantly looking for a carrier. If you're in a GSM (or better) environment, you can expect the "Mobile Standby" value to be substancially lower, most likely with other feautres such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GPS leading the consumption values (dependant on what you've got enabled)
[HTC Desire S] Bombastc:
Thx so much, HALF of that would be fine with me lol!
