[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Deodexing - This is something I've never done before, so I'm not familiar with the details, but the basics are: Deodexing will cause a small penalty in startup and boot times, but it makes theming and modifications MUCH easier. Theming/modding odexed ROMs is a massive pain in the ass as I understand it.

Rooting - Multiple ways to do this, I suggest reading jivy26's FAQ.

Custom power menu - I think only small parts of the framework need modding here (SystemUI.apk maybe?), and these modded parts could be flashed in CWM. However it's not something I've done before, nor do I know how to do it. Android userland is still black voodoo magic to me. I'll stay in the bowels of the system thank you very much. ;)

Making CWM-flashable zips - also not something I can easily provide advice on. There are tutorials floating around.

Risk of bricking - as long as you don't flash bootloaders it's next to impossible to hardbrick a Samsung android device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
So essentially if Im looking to have the snappiest Rom possible which retains all of the functions and visuals of TouchWiz (no themeing or modding necessary) I would want to actually AVOID deodexing my system?

So what does that leave me with to speed up my stock Rom? OC, ram tweaks, and zip aligning?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1justformail:
you have to browse to wherever you downloaded it. first download a file explorer or if your on a stock rom my files and search for it. once you find it remember the path that got your there. now boot into recovery and follow the same path.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDaniels2186:
Hello,

I did a search and only found the answers for other HTC phones but just wanted to be sure.

I came from a Droid X that was pretty particular about which roms you can flash based on the current rom youre on (like restoring a cm7 nandroid to miui) or you cant flash a froyo rom on a GB base etc. Alot of times there it resulted in SBF'ing.

How is it on the Tbolt? Im on CM7 and want to try some sense based roms. do I just do wipes and flash? or do I have to RUU? Im new to HTC phones, and learning the different terminology and dont want to mess this thing up "thinking" i know what to do, when im used to motorola phones haha.

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
HTC devices are a lot nicer than Motorola. Just wipe and flash away. Unlike Motorola, we have true root and unlocked bootloaders.

[Trophy General] Atlanticgrl:
HTC Trophy with Mango update - Help, please. I need a way or an app to have a repeated AUDIO reminder for missed calls/texts and calendar reminders.

I cannot believe this was overlooked in the Mango update! I rely on continual audio alerts for calnedar reminders and missed calls as I can't carry my phone around in my pocket 24/7.

I love this OS and interface, but this is pretty retarded for a "Smart" phone.

Please help.
[Trophy General] loomeye:
I'm looking for the same thing. I have an HTC 7 Pro, but it's something that I wish MS would have included with Mango.

hey guys.. my friend bricked his phone so im here trying to help him. i used a jig and was able to get the phone into download mode, but when i plug it into my pc, it doesnt get detected by odin. the drivers are installed on the computer, because when i try plugging mine in, it detects it. i am not sure what exactly hes done to brick it but any feedback would help. without using the jig, the device does not turn on at all, so i dont even get the phone!pc or whatever the error message is, or that the battery is being charged when plugged in. thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If you haven't already tried it, try plugging the USB cable into a different port (preferably one that's directly on the motherboard). If necessary, also reboot the computer, start Odin first, and then connect your friend's phone.

Also, if your friend's phone was on CyanogenMod, you may need to have the Nexus drivers installed for it to register properly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewjrr:
after it didnt detect his phone, i plugged mine two seconds later into the same port, without unplugging the usb cord from it, and it detected mine.. so i cant see that fixing the problem, but thanks for the advice
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
I see what you mean. The only reason I suggest a different USB port is that sometimes the computer you're working with can be stupidly finicky (I know this from personal experience), and you can plug in the same phone 8 times in a row - the first 7 times, nothing, and on the 8th time, it connects. It's also possible that his phone will be willing to connect to a port that's on the right side of the computer instead of the left side (or whatever other trivial thing the motherboard decides it wants). As he isn't able to do anything on his phone right now, swapping USB ports isn't going to hurt anything, and may possibly give him the connection.

I mention the drivers thing because if your phone is on an i897/i9000 rom and his was a cm7 rom (or vice versa), the computer would detect whichever one it had drivers installed for, but not necessarily the other.

Good luck either way, though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holeindalip:
Have you tried heimdall?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmurph3:
Try reinstalling the drivers. It has worked for me every time odin doesn't want to detect my phone, especially in download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktiedt:
Try cleaning the USB plug on the phone... I cleaned mine last night, with a monitor wipe (clorox wipe type style but w/o all the acidic chemicals) and my phone is finally being detected in Heimdall on my mac. (canned air was not enough)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SergioJAM:
This is one of the most pointed solution, is possible that your phone's usb port has been damaged on some pin with the jig
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewjrr:
thanks guys.. i will get to trying your ideas right now.. let you know how it comes..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewjrr:
i did try it before.. but i think im going to try it again. last time if i remember, it said it worked, but it didnt fix it.

and as for other suggestions.. when i plug the phone in, i hear the sound that the phone is detected, that quick "duh duh" notification, so the usb connection must be fine.. hopefully heimdall might help
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
It's not very clear but can you do the revolutionary.io, S-OFF, and CWM root stuff without wiping your phone?
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
That's correct.
[HTC Sensation] mzmo:
Yes you can. The only time u need to perform a wipe is when u flash a custom ROM.

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I personally thought the S-OFF guide was extremely clear. It doesn't mention wiping so you take it as a no
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
The S-OFF guide is extremely poorly written. For example, it has 3 different methods for doing the same thing, yet they're numbered continuously as steps 1-9. The links to the files are all either outdated or broken, since the attachments were updated but the post text wasn't. It keeps saying "see post X" for how to reboot into hboot manually or access recovery, yet that information has been removed. Extremely poorly written guide.

I couldn't get the revolutionary.exe to work at all, no matter what I tried, re-reading the guide multiple times. Finally I decided to extract it into the SDK folder with ADB already in it, and THEN it worked. Of course, this information is not in the guide. Nor how to access recovery, as mentioned above.

I also received "Installation Aborted" when using the root zip, even after doing it three times. I rebooted in frustration after giving up, but luckily I still got root somehow. This should be noted in the guide as well.

Here's an infinitely better guide that I wrote as I rooted my device yesterday. Hopefully it helps someone out there.

S-OFF

Make sure "adb devices" works (should show serial # such as HT15MT123456)

Extract revolutionary to that adb location (don't overwrite any files)

Run revolutionary.exe and note the hboot version (i.e. 1.18.0000) and serial # (again i.e. HT15MT123456)

Use website to get beta key (i.e. SP1yYj6XR5shD3iC) and enter into revolutionary.exe window

Wait 3-5 minutes while it performs S-OFF and reboots to fastboot multiple times

Installing Recovery

Download the recovery (PG58IMG.zip) and root (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip) zips from attachments at bottom of post (link)

Copy both files to root folder of phone's SD card

Settings -> Power -> Uncheck fastboot

Turn off phone

Volume Down + Power to get into fastboot

Volume up to accept update

Rooting

Reboot into fastboot as above -> Select Recovery

Backup ROM (should take 10-15 min)

Select root zip file (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip)

Might work even if it says Installation Aborted

Reboot into Android, download Root Checker from Android Market and verify Root Access

[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Keep dreaming...Maybe on the Nexus pure Google phone but not on anything with Touchwiz! I am guessing Europe does not use Touchwiz that is why they got their Galaxy S Gingerbread 6 months ago. I foresee Gingerbread at the end of the month then a DEV will port ICS to the Epic around March or April. But we won't see an official ICS for the Epic...hope I am wrong. With it only $49 with a new contract there will be a bunch of Epics still out there 20 months from now.

[HTC Sensation] Bronyr:
Whenever I read newspapers or blogs on my android phone to maximize text for comfortable size the page often becomes too wide/large to accommodate the text; I have to swipe to the end of the screen every line I read. This is not the case with just about every sense-based roms, - they all intelligently adjust the width of the screen to the size of the fonts so it all fits within the frame of the phone margins.

I do have fit-to-page enabled in my browser, but it's just not happening on every AOSP based rom.

Anybody has a solution? I generally do not like sense....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] anthiyag:
I have a LG Optimus T509 and I have flashed it with CM7

Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.1.0+RC1-Thunderg-KANG

Kernel: 2.6.32.42-franco.kernel.v18

Suddenly I am facing a weird issue with my ring tones, I set my ringtone to "Cassiopeia" originally. Since yesterday, even if i try to change my ringtone in the sound application it plays the sound "Club Cubano" when i select any of the ringtones in the phone. Same track over and over and over again.

I tried changing the ringtone from the profiles and there too the same issue. Interestingly, the phone doesnt ring to "Club Cubano" which it plays while testing the ring tones from sound setting. It plays something else.

Is there a fix for this / Is this a known issue?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] voldemarz:
I have similar problem with my P500. Not sure when it started, already a while ago, didn't have time to deal with that earlier.

Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.1.0-Thunderg-KANG

Kernel: 2.6.32.42-franco.kernel.v18

I noticed that phone wasn't playing the ringtone (a mp3 file in the Music folder on SD card) it should. Ringotne in the Sound settings seemed correct. When I tried to change it to anything else it still played the same song.

Another weird thing is that if caller hang up before I pick up the phone ringing music stops and another track starts playing as if music player continues playing the song which was interrrupted. It stops when I press anything on the screen (if locked have to unlock first).

I tried renaming those to music files and then I got some generic rigtone. So for now I renamed the second music file and sticking with the unchangeable ringtone. Fortunately the song is OK, but still the issue is damn annoying...

Any ideas how to fix this?

Welcome to dharvey4651's T-Mobile US HTC HD2 GingerSense ROM!!

PLEASE ask all questions in this thread - Do not PM me.

:) Community efforts make for quicker better fixes. :)

Hello and welcome to my new GingerSense build for the HD2. This is no ordinary build that anyone and everyone can use. It's tailor fitted to the 1024Leo T-Mobile US HD2 and has been heavily customized to support the T-Mobile US network. For a complete list of changes please see the change log in post #2.

The ROM is based on XxXPachaXxX's GBLeoR3 TMOUS build. Thank you very much XxXPachaXxX for your permission to use your ROM as a base!!

This ROM is based on the Desire HD Gingerbread build 2.50.402.2 and is Android 2.3.3. It sports Sense 2.1 and is one of the smoothest HD2 GingerSense builds available.

CREDITS - Credits are probably the most important thing you can possibly add to your post when releasing a ROM. That's why I firmly believe that it should be added to the first post and not trailing somewhere at the end. Without further adieu...

XxXPachaXxX for allowing me to use his ROM as a base for my release.

Cotulla for his great MAGLDR making all of this possible

HTC for making the device and the software used in this ROM.

HierOS for his kernel.

XDA for allowing me to post this ROM

Haldric for his glitches fix

TyTung for his GPS drivers

czarsuperstar@gmail.com for patching the build for CLK

hands9998 for his Power Menu Fix

I only put the PPP file in there seeing that all the other files were in there in the PPP folder in the etc folder in system. And I used dsixda's android kitchen to form the cLK boot.img Credits to him for a wonderful work with that kitchen.:D

Dharvey,

A workaround for the browser kicking you out would be to go to internet options and change the 'enable plugins' to 'on demand'. This does not solve the flashplayer problems but stops the browser trying to play them all the time.

Dungphp has claimed to have fixed the flashplayer issues and even says that in his build you can update to flashplayer11

[HD2 Android NAND Development] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
How are you running it on cLK? Than others wont have this problem. All I did for dharvey was add the PPP file and convert the magldr boot folder into a boot.img for flashing cLK.

If your browser doesnt closed than that would help. but it only closed on sites with high flash content like XDA. on the home page google and the google search pages it didnt close. Im using miren browser and deleted the stock browser and applied the fix from post 4 all is good.

That is why i took the stock browser out and im using miren browser. Also i set it to on demand also. and all was good. also i used spare parts from CM 7 by way of root exp.

dharvey,

I always love seeing more developers create new ROMs for the good ole HD2.. I was downloading your ROM to try and was curious what the CWR partition settings was? I have been using Dungs ROMs with a 5/445/5 partition layout for MAGDLR Tmous and was wondering if this was sufficient or do you have a spacific partition that works for your ROM? Just wanted to make see if i needed to re-partition or not.. The rom looks great and love that its heavily setup automatically for TMous..
