That's good news.

My goal with that kernel is to just be stock, so if it's indistinguishable from stock behaivor wise, that's a good thing.

LoStKernel may have made much of the source-based problems irrelevant. But perhaps the defconfig changes may still prove useful.

Just to keep moral up I want to specify that "no more LOS than stock" means "stock rarely gets LOS and so far I have gotten absolutely none."

Hi,

Let me start with my device info.

HTC Desire

- Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-ON

- HBOOT-0.93.0001

- MICROP-051d

- Touch panel-synw0101

- radio-5.09.05.30_2

- Aug 10 2010,17;52;18

Current image version

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Chunghwa Taiwan carriers (version: 2.10.751.4)

I'm running Windows Vista x86

That's all I got.

Now, the problem.

Everytime I turn the device on, it get stuck at the White HTC Windows and vibrates several times, I think this is a pretty common problem, so I won't stress this issue too much.

The solutions that I found are.

As my device is S-ON my options are limited. I can't boot recovery, so..

I download the latest RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2_29_405_5_Radio_32_49_00_32U_5_11_05_27_release_159811_signed_2

Now, I run the ruu until ask to connect, I connect my device, the ruu recognize and identify my device, it ask to update, everything good. Updating process start and suddenly stops and tells me, "error 131, customer id error"

and that I need to use the right RUU utility.?

So I decided to avoid the USB connection and try to flash it directly from the SDCARD, I extracted the rom.zip from the above file, change the name to PB99IMG.ZIP, put it on my device, volume + power, but nothing.

so thinking that something is missing, I select fast boot, the device shows some text in green, even shows the PB99IMG.ZIP file, and is back to the bootloader screen and nothing happens.

What else can I do to bring to life my device, if I choose recovery with the PB99IMG file in the sdcard, the device shows a black screen with a red triangle.

I think is something with that taiwanes RUU, but maybe not.

Could any one please put me in the right direction

Thanks in advance

Sovius
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Can you boot into fastboot? Using revolutionary.io will give you S-OFF and then you can flash a recovery - since you are PVT4, then AmonRa or newest CWM recommended.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You need a goldcard to RUU with that RUU. Download the 2.3.3 RUU from htcdev.com. this should resolve the Id issue.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sovius:
Thanks for you replays

This is what happen now.

davebugyi

In tried to S-Off with Revolutionary, I remove HTC Sync and install the drivers required. > Back + Power > the device is in fastboot screen > connect the USB cable and the device seems to be recognized by the computer but no notification of that is given, except for a beep (like when you plug a USB flashdrive) but no letter is assign to the device or anything. > I double click revolutionary and the program said "waiting for device", I left it for 30min, but nothing.

As I cannot get inside the device, the problem might be that revolutionary requires my device to have "USB debugging on" I don't know if is on or not.

rootSU

How do I create a Gold Card, if I can't get inside the device to set everything up?. Can I use another Gold card or they are exclusive of each device.?.

Your recommendation are Welcome, Please let me know if you need anything from me to have a much clear understanding about what's going on.

I'll make a video to show you exactly what happening and what I'm doing

Cheers

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jessejames111981:
I was a long time user of Launcher Pro but recently switched to go launcher. It really can do everything LPP can do and more. Widgets are.... different.... I don't think one has a widget advantage on the other but I'm sure many will disagree with me. Go launcher has plently of easy to assemble custom themes where launcher pro you really have to change things manually. Go launcher lets you do that also. I felt Launcher pro ran smoother on my evo4g but on my gsII go launcher runs awesome

Background launcher/widgets when using replacement

Read around and have found conflicting information/answers. Hoping someone can provide some authoritative clarity:

If I install a home replacement, such as go launcher, and set it as the default launcher, upon reboot does touchwiz still load?

1) if no, awesome

2) if yes, is there a way to disable it from doing so w/o deleting it? Or should I just let it load, but clear all widgets from the touchwiz home so that they arent running in the background?

When using a replacement, like go launcher, are you all seeing the same battery life when compared to stock touchwiz?

Running rooted stock rom and kernal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
1.) IF you set it as default launcher, it sets even after reboot. battery life depends on how much cpu/ram the launcher is using.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JeffSalter:
Let me clarify my original question a bit:

If I set Go-Launcher as the default launcher, does Touchwiz still load in the background upon reboot? Or bc Go-Launcher is set default, does Touchwiz not load at all?

Curious is multiple launchers are actually being initiated at load.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
I've been an avid LauncherPro user for a few years now. I've always loved it. I tried ADW for a bit and couldn't get it to work like I wanted. I tried GoLauncher when it first came out and again, it just didn't work the way I wanted and the icons I used became massively pixelated on the dock. It was terrible. That was that and I didn't rethink it for a long time. Yesterday, a friend of mine (who I sold my old Nexus S to as his first android device) showed me GoLauncher EX on his phone and it looked nice. I decided to give it a go and WOW. It is much improved. Its working great so far and I'm getting near the point of being able to uninstall LauncherPro entirely.

I've paid for ADW Launcher EX and Launcher Pro, but I have settled on the free GO Launcher EX. It's based on ADW with some marked improvements and features. The lock screen addon is awesome as well, and plenty of high quality themes, and it feels much faster and smoother than the others.

I recommend Go Launcher EX. :)

GO Launcher EX

GO Launcher EX... It's free and very customizable... Also Download "Home Switcher" from the Market.

That is also free and it allows you to have several Launchers and when you finally settle on one, you can set it as your default Launcher.

Good Luck...

ADW Launcher EX. Yea its paid but is buttery smooth and allows for more of the customization options that I use/prefer. I've tried basically every other Launcher and even used Go Launcher EX before but Unlike most you can hide the dockbar with ADW and I love that.

But being as almost all Launchers have free variants on the market its better to install them all and give each one a shot. What one man prefers another may hate. Goodluck!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dan.follett:
The lagginess has to do with something in our kernel (a driver maybe?)

Anyway if you flash da_g's kernel for the skyrocket you will see that improve 10x. The downside is it reverses the autorotation so you have to control it manually using a market app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CadioXIII:

Try out custom launchers for a change a pace, try uploading all your music through Google Music and just stream all your songs over 4G. If you're a heavy user I'd suggest an extended battery (are they still 50% off?), or the inductive charging solution.

But, for the most part, the Bionic will be like your X2, except with 4G lte.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] AdamIsYou:
I think the deal with the battery ended a while ago, but maybe you could sway them with all the troubles you're having.

I would recommend the app "Moto Home Fix" if you're going to use a home replacement. It'll allow you to jump back into Blur, or any others if you have multiple home replacements. It'll also give you the stock Android recent apps list when you long press the home key. (I believe there is a bug with Blur's recent app list, something about it not showing the correct apps.)

I would also strongly recommend manually toggling Mobile Data. I use DataSwitch, but there are many others out there (Juice Defender, Green Power, etc...)

4G is amazing, but maan does it suck juice.

LTE Switch is another good app. It'll link you right to network settings to toggle between 3G and 4G...for when you don't necessarily need a rocket in your pocket
