can confirm goldcard method is working for branded phones to debrand =)

just get "goldcardtool" from here

http://www.htc-developers.de/viewtopic.php?f=364&t=8665

and my sdcard wasnt wiped by this tool so i can jsut use the one inserted ;)

switched from 1.19 made by o2 germany to 1.33.401.1 htc original

seems faster!

this method works for stock roms i think, maybe customs too!

htc sync is needed for updating rom! on htc chacha!

can anyone try flashing a custom rom with this method?

so to the chiefs around here for chacha, can one of you make a ruu compartible custom rom like htc rhodium and others have? (so that no cwm is requiered?)

it might work from sdcard with your cwm roms but i dont know ;)

still in warranty so don't want to test this!

This is what i am guessing too, may the process work with custom rom too! I dont have a spare phone now so afraid to try!
[HTC ChaCha] hashtowent:
goldcard does allow flashing ANY CID to htc chacha.

so branding and debranding is easy.

one question to all debranders in case of warranty do you have your original rom backed up?

how to do so?

anyone can give an howto

and someone can dump o2 germany? (radio and rom at best)

just for the case of neccessarity!
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
i tried to update custom rom using gold card but it failed :( , so believe need to have RRU to flash. can any one throw some light on the process of creating custom RRU?
[HTC ChaCha] negrufabian:
Thank you very much for this. I've installed last night and it works great on my phone :)

For me it seems that the battery holds much longer.
[HTC ChaCha] greddy:
right, 2.3.3
[HTC ChaCha] nkoleff:
I managed to install this one today and guess what - the dialer bug is still there :( I even think that its draining the battery quickly than with 1.18 :(
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
I feel that 1.33 drains battery slower actually than 1.18.
[HTC ChaCha] nkoleff:
I'll be experimenting those days, as i'll have some time, but i feel the facebook chat is the main battery drainer. Will post some results soon.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Yep, we all can confirm that. I suggest removing all facebook related bloatware with Titanium Backup if you don't use FB.

[HTC ChaCha] niels_kievits:
I'm decided to give this one last shot...:p

Found my CORRECT CID using CID tool and edit the txt file again... no dice :(. Previously I've noticed that the RUU gives of a different error if you replace the ROM file, signature failure, so I've signed the zip file through some general howto on the internet.

With this signed zip though, the RUU still stops on signature failure and even putting the signed zip on the SD card with the correct name and trying via vol- plus power fails.

Is there something about the signing I'm overlooking?

I have a HTC Status, with S-OFF and an unlocked bootloader. I decided to try flashing this ROM onto the device, in order to bypass AT&T's hotspot restriction. Whilst the ROM flashed without any issues, I only found out afterwards that the HTC Cha Cha and HTC Status have slightly different keyboard layouts.

like the title says, i want to root my incredible s, if possible using ubuntu as the OS. so far from what i googled i came up with solution that were not permanent.

any help ?

thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Shadow-7:
anyone that can help?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yareally:
Have you looked in the forum for your phone? I mean the steps are pretty much the same no matter the OS, you just get the android sdk http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and do whatever the directions tell you in the tutorials. Typically those are stickied in the developer's section of your phone's forum.

Here's the guide to rooting your phone and such as well as how to install cyanogenmod on it. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Incredible_S:_Full_Update_Guide

I suspect since you don't have any idea how to root it already, you also don't know what else you want to do with it. You should really do some reading on it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Shadow-7:
thank you very much but this part wasn't really needed "I suspect since you don't have any idea how to root it already, you also don't know what else you want to do with it.", so next time I would suggest you to be more careful and less aggressive
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yareally:
It wasnt meant to be aggressive. It was an observation from you posting the question in the general forums and not noticing the stickied topics for the forum specific to your phone (since if you had, you wouldnt need to ask, right?). My guess was you were new to xda since you just registered as well as to rooting and such and you should read more about it before jumping in. Take that as you will, but there's no need to be defensive when I think my observations were valid and I was being helpful to your current situation.

Try to avoid reading every post with the assumption it's negative if I can give you anymore advice about joining xda (though some obviously are). I could put smilies all over my replies, but that gets kind of tiring and annoying to me and others, lol. :)

No need to get defensive if you think I'm insulting your geek cred by inferring you're a noob. Everyone is a noob sometime and xda welcomes noobs.

Most of you update roms each time a new one is out!!

Now the latest XWKI4 is out..

Because i searched a lot in the forums and didnt find some things can someone provide some thread links to help everyone with the mods? I'll update the thread to be easy

This has somewhat of a black dialer. But the thing I really like is that it integrated call recording with a dedicated button.

I seen that they have minecraft for android now was wondering if anyone got ot working on the epic
[Epic 4G Apps] AproSamurai:
Accidental thanks errrr lol. This is the Xperia Play Exclusive Version we can run it on our Epic, but the second we commit an action on hw keyboard the app can crash and or freeze depending on the state of our Ram. The Play has functions on it's slideout that would be wayyyyyyyy to hard to map onto any qwerty phone.

[Epic 4G Apps] Shadowbl4ze:
Ok but if that's the case we do have the gamepad for our epics would there be a way mod it to get it to work with the gamepad?
[Epic 4G Apps] AproSamurai:
The Xperia Play has two independent gamepads(like analog sticks but flat) on it if I'm correct which make multidirection movement possible on the device in games. The issue isn't mapping the keys it's the fact that the functions to map the keys don't exist outside of the Play's inner frameworks. Or Sony for that matter. People have used Bluetooth and used PS3 remotes but certain things didn't work. Our Phone doesn't contain the bluetooth stack to do that. They're "supposed" to be bringing it to the rest of Android but companies like Nvidia and other processor manafacturers have fragmented android gaming. Harshly.

Just downloaded it and it works great on the epic, although when switching to "fancy graphics mode" I notice a little lag.

Here are the market links

Full Verison (6.99)

Demo Version (Free but some features are left out)
[Epic 4G Apps] || Acer ||:
No lag for me.

The game still needs a lot of work before moving to mobile devices.

They definitely need to add Survival Mode in and have keyboard functionality.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maregiel:
Hi,

suddenly (about 1 week ago) my SG2 (official ROM) started bother me with strange notify in asian language (screenshot: student.kis.p.lodz.pl/~mb/s2.jpg)

Since last month I haven't installed any new apps (especially in asian language), so that's very odd for me. Month ago I upgraded phone via settings-> about my phone -> software update, but notify started about 3 weeks after update.

Notify appears every 2-3 hours, when I click it, Internet browser starting download apk file (every time is different filename, most chars in filename are in asian language).

How find which app is source of notify?

BTW I can't find in Market any app which can help me with:

1. finding which app was installed last (or sort app by instalation/download date)

2. procces manager which can show me which process belongs to which installed app (using user_id)

3. how which app was notify source (my base problem).

Thanks for any help/hint.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maregiel:
Finally I find the source of unknow and anoying notify, it was app called "Artifact Data Cable" (installed from the Market).

This app install an (hidden?) ad service without any notice, service is not visible on process list or active service list and is automatically restarted after reboot.

Dear friends, in order to summarise all the possible fixes with the new 2.3.4 official ROM for SGS2, for those who made the update please reply for the following:

Any fix for:

1. Yelow tint & darker left side of the screen

2. Overheating during charge (with phone switched off)

3. Pink spot on camera

4. anything else?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjtj4444:
Well, the firmware is much more than the Android 2.3.4 code base, most bugfixes are outside of the Android code base so it is impossible to answer this, it depends what firmware version you are referring to.

KG5 has almost certainly less fixes than KI4.

Sorry i don't know the exact code i'm just reffering to the official ROM 2.3.4 that is already released in some countries. I'm from Greece and the update is not available.. so my question is more generic!:confused:

1. Much better now, but not 100% fixed (actually nearly the same in KG5 for me)

2. neven happen for me

3. still got some, just much less

4. can use the offical camera app to take photo even battery below 15%, but the flash will not work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TECK:

[HTC Sensation] tonnytech:
Hi,

i recently return my samsung (4th time) galaxy s2 becouse of various defects , i been looking at the sensation however i have a few questions , firstly for all its issues i like how fast and responsive the galaxay was however when i tryed the sensation i noticed its not as smooth as the galaxy or that much smoother then the desire hd.

One possible reason for this i noticed was that the sensation uses a asmp cpu , which seems a bit cheeky to me. I mean im buying a dual core phone so i would like both cores to work at the same time as opposed to one working then the second kicking in when the first is loaded. From what ive read ics should have better support for this setup , so i was curious does anyone think we will see that much of a difference bearing in mind the sensation is asmp.

I notice there`s a lot of talented devs from the desire development and hd which is encouraging so i was hoping to learn from various users how much of a performance increase there seeing in custom roms ie is the browser jerky like stock ??

Appreciate any / all feedback thank you
[HTC Sensation] jiggaman508:
I'm interested in some more more info on this topic as well.....
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
Read up!

ok so aSMP doesn't really work in the method of core 0 gets loaded then core 1 kicks in, thats way off.

basically SMP cpus like Tegra and Samsung's both cores run at the same speed, so core 1 follows core 0. This doesn't mean that core 1 is actually processing anything. In most cases due to gingerbread the phone is still mainly running on one core unless the app supports multicore.

aSMP allows the cores to run completely independent. This is great for battery life. Core 0 can do things like play games and stuff at full speed while core 1 handles background data.

so playing angry birds while syncing photos on flickr:

core 0 could be running at full 1.5Ghz

core 1 could be running at 500Mhz just do handle the syncing

This is basically the idea. We will get better support with ICS for full and proper support for multiple cores and the kernels will only get better as devs learn.

[HTC Sensation] tonnytech:
Hi,

Thank you for you detailed reply ive been following the thread you posted which is what led me to posting question here , i obviously misunderstood what was being said. That being said im no expert but if i buy a dual core phone id rather have both cores committed to one task like pc ... this is one of the things thats making me hold back on sensation. Althougth its a great phone with great ui and fantastic potential with future updates and dev support to the touch at present the galaxy s2 just seems smoother with the way its doing thing.

As i say thou im not expert i can appreciate theres other factor to take into account such as kernal etc, im just going with hands on usage and trying to evaluate the future potential for both devices before making a decision to which i should choose :)
[HTC Sensation] hardensm:
The sensation's CPU works in a much more power efficient way, while still offering the speed of any other dual core CPU. It allows different clock speeds for different cores so applications using only a single core will be able to clock it differently to those using the other in the background. Computers, especially laptops work in a similar way, as there is a need for power efficiency. Realistically the Galaxy SII runs smoother due to it running a much less resource hungry skin on top of android, but both the CPU of the sensation and the Galaxy SII are both of a similar calibre, so it is very difficult to say which is better.
[HTC Sensation] tonnytech:
again thanks for the reply , defintly understand how this asmp buisness works more now which has given me some stuff to think about :)
[HTC Sensation] moto211:
Neither architecture, SMP or aSMP, will commit both cores to one task unless the app is multithreaded and it currently needs the use of both cores. This is the same way that multicore pc's operate. That's why when quad core CPU's first came out people said that they didn't feel any faster than comparable dual core chips - most existing apps at that time were written for single or dual threaded use so the third and fourth cores largely sat unused. The pc doesn't just force the use of the extra cores just because they are there (regardless of how they scale, aSMP or SMP).
[HTC Sensation] DazzXP:
Also the new firmware has made it smoother due to extra optimisations. Web browser is not as good as the galaxy S 2 due that being GPU accelerated. Power wise the Sensation you will get somewhat more out of your battery life wise.
