[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
What do you expect? At least you should install the 0013d/2708 combo to get additional 15MB RAM, otherwise Gingerbread ROMs will be slow, especially when you enable swap. If you would like to try out a GB ROM on your G1 you should go with ezGingerbread or one of it's variants. Just my 2 cents.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj71787:
i might get rid of the g1. I saw on youtube peoples were running fast but mine is unusable except to text and make calls and even those apps are slow.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
Have you tried updating your SPL/radio and ROM? Froyo ROM is pretty fast.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tianyun:
the phone is posted for 10 times .

and I find that the cyanogenmod 5 is very fast .

you can try.

the android system is 2.1 .
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2927524:
well if you have the time you could solve your problem quite easy.

root, change firmware and radio, and install a newer and tweaked rom like Laszlos' rom or froyo for trout. these are quite reliable.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindstate:
This phone really isnt slow. It all depends on a persons needs as a cellphone user. For me its perfect. I dont play games, or run ram intensive apps. As long as i can make a call, send text/mms and browse the web every once in a while im a happy camper. Not to mention Laszlos Rom is so fast, i feel like im on a newer device anyway.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2927524:
yep. its fully enough for me as well. now that theres DreamTeams' Froyo 2.2.2. based ROM, it even more snappy and fast than was with Laszlos' ROM, except there's not yet notification powercontrol and reboot option at Longpress-Powerbutton, but they are working on it.

so should one do nandroid backup and try that mod as well!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
Blazingly fast for me. I also use it to play games that are power hunger, but it does not even slow down as much as I thought.

I am using Froyo Melt latest version (AKA: DreamTeam 2.2.2 : Same build with mod)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindstate:
for some reason both of those Roms we're acting up for me ... I think you were in that thread BeenAndroidized.. Froyo Melt had tons of FC issues for me. DreamTeams Froyo worked great, except when i imported contacts from SIM or Sdcard they would not show up on contact list, but they would show up in text message app..very weird. So Laszlos for me right now lol

I also enjoy the features Laszlos has like Magpie and overclocking built in. Makes my life easier lol
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
I am in both threads, both Dreamteam and Froyo Melt ROMs has the same build. I am not sure why you have a lot of FCs. I have not had that issue there.

With the import from SIM card, I do not know what to tell you.

I thought about Laszlos ROM, but end up not using it. Don't know why.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CC268:
So I have a vast amount of experience in rooting phones (done my own Samsung Fascinate, HTC Thunderbolt, friend's HTC Evo). I have been rooting, flashing roms, kernels, making custom themes, etc for the past year and a half so I know what I am doing. However, each phone seems to bring a new learning experience. I have read up a bit on rooting it but I am a bit confused at the best method to root this phone and flash a rom...any suggestions on a good guide/what-to-do? I was thinking of flashing CM7 or MIUI

Keep in mind I have a pc so I can do it on a pc but he has Apple computers that can dual boot into windows as well, but keep that in mind.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br125:
use unrEVOked to root. Check the stickies in the development forum

you'll have clockwork recovery after that so i'm assuming you should know what to do from there with flashing roms, backing up etc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CC268:
Need a little more guidance...I have looked at this thread...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739428

Already have adb setup on my computer but do I need to set that up on his mac (can that even be done?) and I can't find a concise guide on the best way of rooting and how to do it
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2776902:
Yes you can use ADB on OS X, but it isn't needed to root. Just download the unrevoked app from their site, and run it. No drivers required, no ADB needed. Plug 'n play! (Phone needs to be set to charge only though, with USB debugging on)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CC268:
doesnt have the right software needed on his mac he has old osx so cant do it on his so i will have to try on my windows laptop
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2776902:
Well it works on 10.5 and 10.6. So it's either Tiger and earlier or a PowerPC. I think it only works on Intel based Mac's (Leopard +). I don't think it's a universal binary.

I haven't had to do it on Windows, but you should just be able to get the drivers from their site as well. HBOOT Driver Install
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabowtech:
In which case you do need drivers. I think they're packaged with the unrevoked tool, been a long time since I've used it though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
Rooting on the INC is easy.

It's not like most other phones because you don't have to deal with ADB, the unrevoked team made it easy.

1) Download droid incredible driver (easiest way to download the correct driver is to get HTC SYNC)

http://www.htc.com/us/support/droid-incredible-verizon/downloads/

- OR -

Apparently they're also packaged in the unrevoked tool, in which case just get it from there.

2) Download and run unrevoked:

http://unrevoked.com/recovery/

Follow the 3 steps in unrevoked and you're done. BAM. Rooted.

Also S-OFF is highly recommended (allows you to do more stuff to your phone and ensures that root will not be taken away)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ballerx43:
do a system dump on the phone? The ones posted here are missing things, you would REALLY be helping me out with my ROM and I'd make you a tester and you'd get all the updates first :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] diaa08:
haven't rooted (waiting on all you guinea pigs to die from unsafe doses, haha) but willing for "the cause." rooted lots of devices and have experience testing and with odin, etc. which of the root methods would you like for me to apply and would you like me to factory reset beforehand? that is if someone else hasn't already provided this for you of course...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ballerx43:
Root method doesn't matter. Preferably as close to stock as possible. And a factory reset would be appreciated so I don't have to go through and delete everything out :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] diaa08:
reading through the methods posted on here... they all modify the kernel through odin, wouldn't that render the dump useless as a base???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ballerx43:
Unfortunately I just read that myself and realized your right....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ballerx43:
although iI'd like to have another Dev chime in
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] timdorr:
The "root" is really just a modified kernel image (referred to as a zImage, named for it being gzip compressed). That image contains both the kernel itself and tiny in-memory startup disk called the initramfs. That initramfs contains a base set of drivers and commands to get the kernel from boot to execution of userspace things like the rest of the Linux and Android environment.

The one you're downloading from zedomax is not the stock kernel (although, provided Samsung's download is good, it's essentially identical) and a custom-built initramfs that has drivers for things like the cell radio and wifi cobbled together from other SGS2 models that have published firmware and other devices that use similar hardware and therefore will accept similar drivers. Because that initramfs is custom-built, it has nothing from the stock image.

When you're "rooting" in Odin, you're uploading the zImage partition into the memory of the phone, which overwrites the stock image that was there in the first place. Thus begins a chicken and egg scenario. We can't read the stock image without root access, and we can't get "proper" (i.e., bug-free) root access to the system without reading the stock image.

Until Sammy releases a downloadable firmware (which includes that stock zImage in the file), we can't get at it. And you should be cautioned against installing a root kernel unless you know the consequences and can live with the bugs until a "proper" version can be built.

TL;DR: Wall of text. Please read it, people.

thanks for the in depth explanation. thats what i was surmising in less knowledgeable terms haha...
[General Questions and Answers] sajid4uali:
Hi Experts,

I use HTC Incredible S and looking for native video calling feature which is not available in default calling feature in the Android itself, since the hardware itself supporting video calling.

I thought it will be addressed in the new updates 2.3, but there is not any features which can help in video call.

I posted HTC for this problem, but replied me to wait till next update which is not fixed and they are not sure if this will be addressed. They adviced to use Skype, but I dont want to use any third party application or anything to make video call to make it more expensive & more difficult.

I wish there could be an answer in this XDA forum, so you experts can help me in this. Pls giude if is there any custome updates available. I will be greatful to you for all your help.

Thanks in advance.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] UL7RA:
So, I had Froyo 2.2.2 and installed OpenOptimus. I Had to update the baseband for it to work, I did it and the phone works fine. I am very pleased with it, but i want to test mik's ROM for 2.3.5. Do i have to update the phone to 2.3.5 or just flash the zip? I see that it is for old baseband only. Can i return to the old baseband by wiping everything?

Please help me!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
you can just flash the zip for mik's rom (but make sure you wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache)

to change to the old baseband:

Yes. V10 is old, V20 is new.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
v10e: old baseband

v20g: new baseband

so yes :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] UL7RA:
And i wanna know one more thing before proceeding, will I be able to use data transfer? (2G/3G) ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
yes as long as you flash the old baseband
[Optimus One, P500, V General] UL7RA:
Look what i will do, step by step.

1)Wipe all data

2)Insert USB Cable (if that dosent work i get in recovery)

3)Install OLD baseband

4)Copy Cyanogen to SD Card

5)Flash ZIP from SD Card

6)Reboot

Right?

Since running Android on my Leo, I have noticed that my original Leo battery gets depleted twice as fast. So I've been looking into portable battery chargers, and I also stumbled upon solar phone chargers (battery also included).

Is it worth investing (although it isn't very expensive to try anyway)?

Wondering if any of you have any experience with a solar charger? If so, what battery capacity did you get (1000-2000 mAh, 2000-3000 mAh, etc)?

I had a cheap solar charger without battery. It didn't recharge the HD2. It was full bright sunlight inside the car.

It was enough power to trigger the phone to boot up, but it couldn't charge the phone battery. I get the feeling it probably drained the phone battery..

I bought an extended battery for the HD2. That lets me use the phone with GPS running continuously for about 12hrs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bandage:
A common situation with Sprint Devices...streaming media can skip and have issues frequently, etc. Shoutcast / Pandora / Slacker / Podcasts and others are affected.

A known fix for this is removing the Sprint Proxys on your device. Give this a try and report back your results. (May want to write the stock proxys down for future use, as this procedure will interfere with push updates etc.)

1. Get MSL Code (Call Sprint, if refused keep trying OR using Terminal Emulator use "getprop ril.MSL")

2. Dial ##data# in the phone

3. Hit Edit, enter MSL...Go into Mulitmedia

4. Set the ports to 0

5. Set the addresses to 0.0.0.0

6. Reboot

Btw when people do this, doesn't it disable the ability of downloading the PRL, firmware, or any system updates, or whats the reason for the proxy? ect?..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Can you please elaborate with proper instructions on the buffer portion, like how to change it. What are the terminal commands?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Yes change all 4 of them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justwonder:
Well, if you look at number 1, there are two ways to get msl code, call Sprint ask for it or use Terminal Emulator then enter "getprop ril.MSL" to get it.

But then he said "Gonna call Sprint for my MSL next few days and I'll also report back."

I'm pretty sure OP use Termminal commands with ease, so that's why I asked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bandage:
yeah...was bit tired when I posted. lol.

edited post and removed that buffer info as it was related to another device.

regarding updates, ota's etc...to be honest I haven't gotten ota's on any device in ages! the perks / downfalls of custom ROMS. I imagine this will interfere with push updates. best advice, write down stock settings for proxys for future reference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
ok? well does it cause a problem updating the Prls ota, profile download ect?..
