Look at the wiki everything you need to know is there under HTC Vision

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trippinz:
is that the guide you followed ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
Thats the guide that I used,although I didn't have to downgrade from gingerbread,but everything you need is there,I would call it "the official guide to rooting"
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trippinz:
when it says $ adb push gfree /data/local/tmp/ does it move the irregular files or just the file that says gfree. By irregular i mean any files like gfree.c. BTW what command moves the gopt.c and gopt.h files as i see none obvious commands which would in the wiki ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
Follow the wiki exactly,it is a step by step guide,if you are using windows you can cut and paste the commands as well so no need to worry about mistyping.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trippinz:
Thanks, I plan to use that guide instead. Thanks for bringing me to the light :p

P.s. what is the difference between normal hboot and engineering hboot ???
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
Read this

http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html

Its to do with the partitions and amount of RAM available,you can also use fastboot commands,depends on what ROMs you are wanting to run,anything resource heavy(sense 3 and above) then you will need to flash the engineering hboot to get them to run,everything you need is in the wiki/virtuous,best of luck
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trippinz:
I read up, your referring to the DZHBOOT for G2 users for them to be able to use roms for the desire z. I got this off of the cyanogen mod forums:

The ENG hboot is what unlocks NAND protection. Without the NAND unlock, we wouldn't be able to flash ROMs or have custom recovery.

so basically engineering hboot is a hboot with s off
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
Yes,with the engineering Hboot you have S-Off and can flash anything Radios,Roms,Recoveries
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malickie:
Anyone at all around who can create an actual thread for the Atrix 2 please. Would be much appreciated, also anyone working on Unlocking the Bootloader and kernel so we can get some Custom Rom's and Possibly OC working on this thing? I would also assume the chip in this phone which is a TI-OMAP should be able to OC a bit faster than the OG but I could be wrong.

The very first one after power on that says Acer...

Is it possible to flash a custom one? This was fairly simple on my Desire via fastboot and wanted to do something similar - contact details etc.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodflame:
Haven't seen anything about it for our tabs. It really depends on the device. My old HTC Magic and current HTC Glacier could do it no problem, but my old Nexus One was impossible. It was partially working with my old Nexus S, however it was more dangerous and took a bit more work. Unless a few smart devs really looks into it, I wouldn't count on it :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Definitely don't count on it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ChocolateShein:
I looked up some GSM Android sliders and the Doubleshot came up as the latest and greatest Android slider. I wanted to buy it, except browsing these forums showed little to no development on it. No CM7 or MIUI, or anything. I want to know if the superior specs of this phone make up for it over the HTC Vision.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] shady503403:
i had (have) a g2, i just got a mytouch4g slide this morning and got it rooted already, their isn't much dev works since the kernal source hasn't been released yet. the g2 has alot of great roms out for it, i loved it. im missing miui sooo much till i get on the mt4gs, but i'll wait and play with my dual core and camera for a bit. =]
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ChocolateShein:
Just my luck

HTC released the MyTouch 4G Slide's kernel source just an hour ago. Does this mean we'll see much more development for the phone?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Doubleshot is far superior to G2 so I would get it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] elamarkant:
but the battery...

If I play my doubleshot for an hour HSPA and an hour games like asphalt/abdcution, it'll be hard for the battery to hold on before I'm off my work...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Get the Anker batteries mentioned in the Accessories board. Also, give the AOSP team time to create a vanilla/CM build for the Doubleshot.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
So bring an extra battery or a charger and your problem is solved ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
yep! that's what it looks like is going to happen. time for some overclocking on this processor =P
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] shady503403:
god, im ready to really unleash the power of this dual core phone.. =D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
Personal point of view on this question;

I have an HTC VISION. I got it at xmas time last year, its an excellent phone, excellent knowledge base, excellent development, and I am totally satisfied.

As the owner of an HTC VISION, I don't see any particular reason to change the hardware at this time. Not to an HTC DOUBLESHOT or to anything else.

The HTC VISION and DOUBLESHOT are fairly similar phones. In many respects, virtually identical. Consider the DOUBLESHOT basically as the upgraded VISION. It has a faster processor, more RAM, and a FRONT FACING CAMERA. If the details of the standard camera are of particular interest to you, it is also enhanced over the VISION, but for my use, this is irrelevant (I use phone camera for emergency stuff, like if some douchebag crashes into me, I use it to take evidence shots, etc., all my *real* photography is done with a REAL CAMERA).

Now my GF, amazing as she may be, had some stupid fruity piece of crap when we met, I don't know, it was labelled something like iTurd. Anyway, a few minutes of exposure to my HTC VISION, and she suddenly realized what a piece of garbage her phone was, so off to buy an HTC DOUBLESHOT. Nice phone, very slick, definite upgrade from VISION and highly recommended IF YOU'RE PURCHASING NEW. The difference isn't *that* big that I would actually be willing to fork out any money to upgrade, but there is a definite difference.

Of course, it came with that SENSE cruft. Though still better than that iCrap, it is a definite downer. Undeadk9 saved me a WHOLE LOT OF WORK by building his mostly-senseless system image (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!), which makes the phone *bearable*. The kernel source now being available, hopefully this will move right along and we can get a TRULY proper system image for this excellent hardware, but it isn't there quite yet.

At this point, I would DEFINITELY recommend that acquisitions be of HTC DOUBLESHOT rather than VISION, though both are *excellent* phones. For anybody who ALREADY HAS an HTC VISION, keep it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Forgot to mention tv out. I love this feature and didn't even know I had it until I messed around.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
If it had an HDMI output (that worked in 1080p60), and the ability to decode and playback a reasonable variety of media formats, that feature would be worth mentioning, because it would actually have a use.

Sitting 6" back from an NTSC TV is bad for your brain. Why not just look at the phone screen? The TV out on that hardware is simply not practical.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Not practical are you nuts? I watch netflix on my tv everynight not to mention emulators I play as well as going to test out a bluetooth controller as some other members are doing for games.

Not to mention a longer cord can be purchased. As well as rca 3 prong will work with older and new tvs hdmi will not unless another adapter is purchased. The picture is great quality too.

If we use your logic, looking at this small screen for an hour is just as bad as sitting six feet from a tv. Talk about a bad case of blurred vision ,headache and possible decrease in long range vision (nearsighted).

No offence but that was a dumb comment and I rarely say that.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I just got another cord to extend it. I can sit up to 18 feet back now.

Even when i'm not using it, it's still hooked up to a tv i've gotten and placed next to my desk in my work area (i've never owned a tv before...leave it to a phone to make me want one). I play music through it on the tv generally.

It's also good to have the system up on a larger screen sitting next to my computers so I can work with it more efficiently.

The idea of being restricted to a 6 foot cable is not so great, but it's a very cheap and easy solution you can fix at any radio shack, best buy, walmart, etc...

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

Are you interested in working together on this?

I have someone (finally...no real-life computer friends...) who is willing/able to sit down and figure it out with me. He wants to attach his wii controllers to his phone, so I have that piece of hardware to work with and two phones + a Nook Color to test it out on.

I ordered a sixaxis controller, but the order got all screwed up and i'm gonna have to deal with paypal to get my money back. I hate ebay, and usually stick with amazon, but the price seemed too good. When I can afford to try again i'll get one.

I haven't actually sat down and put all the random info together yet, but i've got a pile of raw data waiting to be sifted through.

Shoot me a pm if you're interested and we can go from there, but i'm gonna sit down with my new computer friend next week and spend a whole day - maybe two - working on this exclusively.

It may just work right away with no tweaking (lol) but if not we'd need kernel source to fix the problem. Now that we have it it's worth looking into, and this is one of those projects that got put on hold until source dropped. Starting to dust off the old ideas and run them now.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
If you're that diehard about your video games, grab a console, $100-$150, and it works proper, not some crazy hack with a phone. As for netflix... same game console does that too.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Its not a crazy hack lol. Droid does.

I guess some people don't understand the true potentials android has to offer.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Col.Kernel:
Why should I buy a console that either has a history of hardware issues or a EULA that is offensive in the extreme? Particularly when I have a phone that will do the same things?

There is nothing any console on the market has that I want that my phone can't already do.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ChocolateShein:
Thanks for the info. I'm purchasing the phone new, so the Doubleshot sounds nice. The camera is a welcome feature for me, since I don't want to have to carry around an actual camera. Unfortunately, most of the Doubleshot's camera features come with Sense, although I don't mind sense too much.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Google86:
Hi all;

I want to talk to you about the GALAXY R or i9103.

Is a version of SII with tegra 2 and slightly lower specs in terms of camera, storage and conectivity.

However this i9103 is much closer to SII than to the S plus, so why should we avoid the possibility of enjoying the root and ROMS?

I just want that people would be a little bit concerned about this great phone, so any help will be appreciated , if anyone knows who would be happy to help us with this just let me know. Im sure CM,Or other talented people can help us.

Thank You.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] abu46:
hello guys:)

this is my first post on the forum

i wana buy myself my first android device in the form of a samsung galaxy r (coming from good old symbians)

now what i see from this and other forums is that there aint much support from hackers/modders/cookers for this particular model

also samsung hasent announced any plans to bring ics to galaxy r

hence i am leaning towards the galaxy s plus coz even if samsung dosent release the official ics i am sure to get an custom ics rom for it.

should i go for the r or the s plus???

also will i get worse backup times with the r in comparison to s plus as the r has the same battery as the s plus but a larger screen and that too slcd?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] SPLESH:
Hi

I will try to do my best to help, because I'm having this beautiful device too

and i all ready hacking it around what i want to do is to make a real raw backup of roms and etc, before doing real development on it and i can help in development of kernel and hardware related staff i'm, sorry i new to android rom cooking and etc, but i like hacking and if i will find good manual about it i will be too able to help, the main thing is the kernel which was open sourced by Samsung (2.6.36.2 but device i own has 2.6.36.3) so if we want to improve it i has some experience with Nokia N900 (had it before but now only SGR) i'm also a java dev by occupation and had experience in android application development bun not much and with old android 1.6 but this is not a big problem )

Hi!

I would like to play Doom and all its sequels in my Xplay. I had C2Doom in my old Nokia N81 but now with Android I don't find any good app...

I just found this one: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.xianle.doomtnt&feature=search_result but don't know if there's any better app...

Any idea? Thanks.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] IE-coRe:
What abaut the emulators? Arnt there doom games for Snes, n64 and ps1?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] metcard:
I downloaded doom the other day and it plays pretty well on the xplay.

The only issue is that you cant set controls within the game, I tried and had to remove the doom folder to reset all settings, circle exits game and if you press it you cant cancel. X and Square do the same thing. So if i set X to shoot Square will also shoot.

I use Dpad to move, Sholders to look left/right, X/Square to shoot, Triangle to swap weapons, select to view map, start to open doors/confirm.

The download only comes with Doom Shareware but you can play full versions of Doom1, Doom2, TNT and plutonia by putting one of the game files in the doom folder on your sd card.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] 216Monster:
I had tried that app and I would say that a emulated game of Doom and Final Doom and using FPSE was a much more enjoyable and better way to play

I just finished installing a new, custom, ROM (Cognition X2 Beta 4). Everything is running well and there is no lag I know of.

Only one problem: All my contacts are gone.

I thought Google backed them up (with Google Sync). Apparently not! Even though my picture albums, gmail, and calendar; my contacts are still the same default AT&T contacts!

Does anybody know I can PLEASE get my old contacts back? I MUST have them (I JUST got everyone manually saved on my new phone from my old iPhone 4 - and restored the iPhone. F U 0 K!)

Yes, I did backup the "stock" rooted ROM. Is it possible to extract the contacts from it - without restoring back to it?

I'm desperate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jivy26:
Go into your gmail on pc Web Browser and look on left side you will see contacts look to see if your phone contacts are there. If not then back up your current system in cwm then restore the stock one. Sync contacts with google let it finish then restore cognition backup in cwm. Sucks but easiest way to get them back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
Google only syncs the contacts that is in GMail contacts. Your phone supports many different contact providers. You can have Gmail contacts, exchange server contacts, facebook contacts and Phone contacts. The default is phone contact which syncs with no one. If you only save your contacts in Phone contact, you will never get that synced to the cloud. So, next time when when you create a new contact, pay attention to the where the contact is going and make sure it is Gmail contacts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] contentryder:
How did you back up your stock ROM? With titanium backup? If so restore your contacts with it. When you make a gmail account, make sure you go in your contacts app press menu/more/settings/save new contacts to/your google account or always ask and not to your phone so it can auto sync.

If you ever came from an iPhone or any other phone and transferred your contacts to Android. Go in your contacts app cause it's usually not stored in the google account to sync but rather the phone. Press menu/import & export/export to sd card....you will have a vcf file on your storage card. Go on gmail thru the computer. On your left pan you should see contacts. With your phone plugged into your computer, pull the vcf file or just upload it directly from your phone to your gmail using a file explorer on your phone like Astro. Back to your gmail on the computer...press contacts and find the button more in the center. Press import from there and merge and find duplicates if you need to.
