I think u need to be s-off before u can root, but I may be wrong. U might aswell s-off as u need this to flash custom ROMs and therefore use ROM manager, as this needs superuser rights which u get with s-off and root.
[HTC Incredible S] degaia:
On the topic of both starter questions and installations, why won't ROMs flash with s-off? What's the big difference between that and s-on and why does one void our warranty with HTC?

(Apologies in advance, if this derails this thread at all.)
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
You mean why can't we flash ROMs with S-ON! Because this means security on. Basically HTC went and locked their bootloader on most earlier devices and therefore they cannot be hacked. The AlphaRev team have successfully managed to develop a tool to achieve this and enable users to gain root access, install ClockWorkMod recovery (a way of installing custom ROMs and also taking a snap shot of ur current ROM is you mess up and need something to go back to) custom themes etc, etc.

HTC have apparently learnt the error of their ways and promised not to lock the bootloaders in their newer shipped models, however they don't particularly like us messing around with it hence voiding the warranty if you do this...but it is possible to go back to S-ON like nothing ever happened using AlphaRev.

Hope this answers your question, now stick to the topic....

Ha, only joking :)
[HTC Incredible S] nkf:
Of course I know I need to e-off my device be4 roo/flash rom. What I want to know is : do I need to s-off before using rom manager.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
ROM Manger needs root access, so yes you need S-OFF so you can root and install ROM Manager
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
Why don't you download it and find out ;)

I have already downloaded it, but it keeps saying that I ave to gain root access be4 using it

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tamalsen:
I am going to upgrade my hd2 phone to windows phone 7 Yuki rom. But I cant seem to find any instructions as to how to back up contacts, sms and other stuff from windows 6.5 to transfer to windows phone 7. Anyone know how to do it? Please help a noob out.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] xsi:
For SMS I don't think there is a way.

For contacts, sync your 6.5 to Outlook then export Outlook contacts to a csv file, create a Windows Live account (if you don't have one already) and import your contacts from the csv file. After you upgrade your HD2 to WP7 you only have to sign in with your live account and your contacts will be synced to the phone.

But remember, you have to activate your HD2 with an activation key.

Search this forum how to.

Hope this will help you.

How many options does ios5 "steal" from android or others. Such is the nature of business. If someone buys something, another company is going to produce a similar product with their own twist to appeal to another group of consumers and some of the "original" company's. When one company started building suvs, and another company sees a trend they will too. If one company sees that ppl like rear window wipers others are going to manufacturer them too. Take something, build it to your liking and add in to it. There are few truly genuine and unburrowed ideas in today's business. If you think you have a niche in the market, don't plan on having it long unless you continue to innovate. Heck, apple even spends less on its r&d per revenue then goggle, microsoft, or rim. Because they gave up on innovation and spent more on legal departments and advertising?

Good morning,

I'm looking for a mobile-phone with a physical QWERTY keyboard; running the android operating system.

So far I've found the HTC Desire Z (Vodafone/3), Samsung Galaxy 551 (Telstra) and the Motorola Milestone 2.

Which should I get? – Alternatively, can you recommend a different one I can buy from a shop in the city tomorrow?

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor
[General Questions and Answers] AlecTaylor:
Thanks.

Due to xda-developers advice and others (as well as the Milestone 2 not being available in any Optus store) I have gone with the HTC Desire Z from Vodafone.

Another reason I went with the HTC is that the software seems to be much much better than anything the Milestone 2 could've provided, as well as being easily ROMable.

[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
If you haven't already, try these phones out in person before you pick. In particular, the Milestone 2 (Droid 2 in the US) feels really cheap and plasticky, and with a clunky keyboard, compared to the Desire Z. I'm not too familiar with the keyboard variant of the Galaxy S (although on carrier in the US has it, but not mine). But while the Galaxy S phones have very nice displays, their housing seem cheaper and lower quality than the Desire Z.
[G2 and Desire Z General] workingmanbh:
Without any doubts, the Desire Z / G2.

Best hardware, screen, keyboard, and it's very unlockable, you can use whatever rom you like, and do everything with your phone.

I know all of the devices and have a G2, and love it.

Though, i put in my mind that i want a 2d cellphone....
[G2 and Desire Z General] AlecTaylor:
Thanks, I'm taking a look at the specs now...

=Samsung Galaxy 551=

Processor: 600Mhz

Camera quality: 3MP

Weight: 156g

Dimensions: 111.0 x 55.0 x 16.3mm

=HTC Desire Z=

Processor: 800Mhz

Camera quality: 5MP

Weight: 180g

Dimensions: 119mm x 60.4mm x 14.16mm

=Motorola Milestone 2=

Processor: 1Ghz

Camera quality: 5MP

Weight: 169g

Dimensions: 19mm x 60.4mm x 14.16mm

But you're saying the Desire Z will last longer because it's better built?

I remember trying the keyboard in a shop once, wasn't too impressed... (compared with my TouchPro2)
[G2 and Desire Z General] workingmanbh:
The SOC in Desire Z has a newer technology or something like this, that even with a lower processor speed it's better.

Another thing, is that Motorola roms are buggy, and the Milestone 2 is trapped in Froyo, and the DZ has Ginger 2.3.4. The T-Mobile G2 has a cleaner rom than the DZ, which is the one i have, and used root to remove a few apps that i don't have use in my country.

And as Desire Z is a Htc, it has a much better community, and no locks, or so easy to beat. You can root easily, and put the rom you want because of almost "no locks".

I had a Touch Pro2 before this G2, and the performance is so much better, far better than the TP2, and the keyboard is better too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ptesmoke:
If your a geek and want sim unlock,root,any custom rom u want, engineering hboot,etc. Than the g2/dz is your only choice. Plus its got gorilla glass :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] YaKillaCJ:
He right. I did quite a bit of research b4 buying an Android phone. I came from the Motorola Cliq and man was it a good phone but the OEM restrictions was killing me. HTC Devices are notoriously open/rootable. Dont let the 800 MHz fool ya. It clocks the same speed as the 1GHz single-core processors, just uses less power while doing it. Funny enough it was manufacture designed to run at 1GHz anyways, they just underclocked it in default roms for battery life. Most of us rooted run it at around 1.0 to 1.2 anyways.

Like others mentioned, I liked the Samsung Galaxy S keyboard variation (Sprints Epic 4g). Screen is VERY GOOD looking but its stuck in android 2.2 still. Plus it feels cheap outside that screen clarity. Like same plastic U would fine in the play phones of the Toy/Baby section in a store. Moto infamous for leaving devices without updates. While Samsung well known for intentionally holding updates behind to push there new product instead.

Most important is S-Off so easy wit this phone, its ridiculous.

Look at the Development page and ull notice all the Roms are cutting edge and completely stable for this phone. Most officially supported, lol.

CyanogenMod 7.1

Muiu

Pure AOSP

Sense 3.5

TMobile Rom, just optimized and Prerooted.

Cant really ask for more.
[G2 and Desire Z General] WTF?:
also, the Galaxy 551 has a tiny 240x400 screen, are you cool with that?

If u cld live without a keyboard htc amaze is the best but i say dz
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Desire Z will probably last longer, and it just feels better, with the aluminum and soft touch plastic body. Obviously much better build quality. If a phone feels cheap and crappy, its probably because it IS cheap and crappy. And that is how the Milestone2 feels.

Agree that the keyboard on the Desire Z is a bit of a step backward compared to the TP2, in terms of key spacing, key travel/action, and missing the top row of keys. But it still feels much better than the Milestone2. The Moto keyboards just feel cheap and inferior.
[G2 and Desire Z General] WTF?:
Every keyboard on every other cell phone since the TP2 is a step backward from the TP2!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] CCpotter:
Don't pick Milestone, it's too big in hand and makes uncomfortable.

Samsung phone with a keyboard is not as good as HTC series, especially this Desire Z is one of the best in rare HTC phones with keyboard. And Desire looks super!

So my suggestion is to Desire Z

Samsung : slow and low resolution.

G2: still a fast and good phone on the actual market. Overclock up to 2.0 ghz or 1.5 ghz stable.

What about GPU? Maybe take a look on wikipedia. If I remember, G2 has Adreno 205, witch is not that bad for the year.

Hi Guys,

I am NOOB to android and recently i have upgraded myself to Andro-ID ROM after using CM7 for a while . everything is good in this ROM except this Lockscreen which i love those CM7's ones. Anyone please throw some light to me on how to change a lock screen ??? I am unable to find an answer .. All the answer google providing me is to go for Widget Locker .Is there any way other that that ?

Thanks in advance !!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] arfu34:
yyeah..Widget Locker is gud if u want diff types of lock screen..:) use dat..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] premsurya:
Thanks but i am in a learning mode .. hence trying to understand how and where this locker screens are embedded inside ROM .. Hope we get some answer for that too ! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Akath19:
What you want to do depends on exactly what it is you want to do (sounds paradoxical but hear me out).

CM7 lockscreen is the stock android lockscreen but with 2 additions, first they added the ability to see battery state always (not only when charging), the other is that they added music controls.

So if you want those features you'll have to code them yourself since they're part of Cyanogen's code.

If you want the look you'll be better using CM7 since the Rings lockscreen wasn't implemented until GB 2.3.7 and porting that would require that you build andro-id from sources.

Anyways if you want to try it, the lockscreen is contained inside /system/framework/android.policy.jar
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] premsurya:
thanks a lot .. will try and let u know guys if i am able to find anything!!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] chepoz:
use agile lock instead
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sottaquadrat:
hhhmm....

i'm newbie and want to try a widget locker

where i can get it?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] inihccor:
Agile lock, ripple lock, widget locker, go locker (you can find this one in the go dev Web site)...

My opinion: don't use widget locker, you have to pay it and have root for some simple sliders, try and consider the others I suggest you...

For the first two: try the free version then, if you don't want to pay them, you can unlock for free just installing and running once the apps they suggest you.

Hope I've helped you man ;-)
