Hi!

I few weeks back I rooted my O2X, installed CWM and then installed MIUI.

After using it for a week or two I had found a couple of bugs, for example my computer did not find the phone when I plugged in the usb cable.

So restored my stock rom backup and used that one instead, but the phone was still rooted and CWM was still on it.

So today when I found out that gingerbread was released I found a nice NVFlash guide to unroot the phone and go back to what it was like when it was new.

I did everything that I was supposed to do, install drivers etc. And I had started the phone while holding down volume up + down.

Then I pressed the "Flash.bat" and a cmd window appeared but disappeared again.

I pressed it again and this time the cmd window stayed open with some text in it, I waited for a couple of minutes but nothing at all happened.

I unplugged the usb cable and put it in again (holding down vol. up + down) and then pressed the flash.bat.

This time it seemed to work, it was formatting and moving files, after a while the cmd window disappeared. And while formatting it said "S/W Upgrade - Please wait while upgrading..." on the phone. But when the cmd window dissapeared the phone is supposed to restart, but it did not. the text was still there.

I waited again but nothing happened. So I unplugged the usb and tried to start the phone. but nothing happened.

So I have been trying again and again and again. The last time When flash.bat was done I have been waiting for 20min but it's still "S/W Upgrade - Please wait while upgrading...".

What is going on!? I really need help. Sorry if it is hard to read, but I hope you understand.

Thank you in advance!
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Do it again, but this time copy all of the output you get when running flash.bat and paste it here. (Start a cmd-prompt first, then type flash.bat instead of doubleclicking it so that you'll be able to copy the output.)

Then perhaps we can get some info to work with.
[LG Optimus 2x] crewol:
I did not know that the cmd prompt would stay open if you run the flash.bat file through it. And not doubleklicking.

When I did I found the problem, when fastboot.bin was being transfered it suddenly stopped, I believe this is what happened before but I did not see it because the cmd prompt closed.

Anyway, when I saw this I knew what the problem was. I have plugged in the phone to my monitor's usb hub all the time, but when plugging it in to the computer it worked the first time, so now the phone is alive again.

Thank you!
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Good, glad you got it sorted.

I tried to make a theme obviously with UOT, and i flashed it and this happened..

So obviously I need some help, I don't know how to set up the upload part.. What am I needing to do?

I'm running Royal Ginger 3.0.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure that I get what your asking
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Well it keeps giving me that force close loop.. It won't stop coming and eventually hot boots and continues.

So I'm trying to figure out how to fix this. I know it's a upload setting I chose wrong.

I am my mom's "little elitest"

Deal with it! :P
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
since youre making a theme for AOSP, all you would have to do is click on CM7 theme and upload a different theme.apk and make sure to rename it to your liking before uploading it. Ive done it several times and never had any issues as youre having:confused: looks weird tho lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Upload what theme apk? You mean one like off of the market?

I am my mom's "little elitest"

Deal with it! :P
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
nah like copy one of the themes already installed like Androidian.apk or Cyanbread.apk using root explorer and paste in sdcard. then you would rename it to whatever you want, then upload it to UOT
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
oooh Okay! I will try right now and get back to you soon, thanks so much!

And eMMC scripting right?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
yep...10char
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Worked. Thanks so much!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
awesome, no problem bro :) now post a screenie of that theme lol:p looked pretty good

I did some modifications to the stock HTC "Metal" skin (updated the nav bar and buttons, the notification/status bar, the lock bar, and the weather clock). I thought I'd share in case anyone else is interested in this. The design is basically aluminum fins over marble (with aluminum dividers between the marble sections) and old typewriter keys for the nav buttons.

Below you will find a couple of screen shots, the apk file, and two "Streamline Moderne Android" wallpapers I made (one is included with the skin, the other has a larger droid that is more vertically centered).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joel1030:
Looks nice bro!!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Shrimpbush:
Looks great! So how did you make it. I'd like to make a darker slate.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tigger#76:
Thanks.

I basically followed the instructions in this thread:

Nicely done! I got it on my phone now. One question though, how do you get the nav/app buttons to show up. All I can find are the stock icons.

Sorry for the long delay. I've had some serious distractions and didn't see your post until this morning.

If you could, please post a screen pic that shows what you're seeing on your device. The nav/app buttons should be included in the skin.

The icons that are on the desktop in my screen pic above were added in using "Folder Organizer". I'm working on getting permission to post a larger set of typerwriter key icons, but I don't have it yet.

So I've been using an HD2 for a few months, and I absolutely love it, being able to run Phone 7, Android, Ubuntu, and just having so much freedom with it. However, it is an aging device, and while it hasn't had any problems for me as of yet, I'm still considering what my next device will be. My question is: are there any phones out as of now, or to be released soon, that are/could be the next HD2? I mean, I also have a Touchpad, which as of now seems to be heading towards HD2 awesomeness, but I can't quite fit that in my pocket. Any suggestions/thoughts? :confused:
[HD2 General] Xeroday:
Yea I want to know too. I also have an HTC HD2 and a Touchpad. The HTC HD2 is getting really old and the battery life isn't up to par with current smartphones.
[HD2 General] thebest1:
In my opinion, there will be no other phone as hackable as the HD2 with the ability to run multiple Operating Systems. Windows Phone is just starting to pickup but give it sometime as it will slowly be hackable. We got no other choice other than Android, Iphone or (Correct me if im wrong) Nokia Meego. I will just wait for next year and wait what HTC or Nokia will bring us.
[HD2 General] cordaylec:
Yea I've been due for a upgrade for months, just not anything I've seen worth 2years.
[HD2 General] fmmsf:
Well, if you guys are considering ditching your HD2s drop me a line ;-)
[HD2 General] ElectroBeijing:
Ha, I browsed Craigslist for a month waiting for a decent price one, then got damn lucky and bought one off some guy LNIB and unlocked for $85 USD. Such a great phone at a great price.

Anyways, there's that Phone 7 Nokia phone coming out soon, the Lumia I think it is? Do you guys think there's any chance for that being super hacked? It seems like a possible contender.... :cool:
[HD2 General] cordaylec:
I don't know, I still have my nokia e71 unlocked, the first phone in the States with a front facing camera, and that was three years ago, but after a 4.3inch screen of the HD2, I cant see myself with a smaller screen. So the nokia is a no go for me.
[HD2 General] madalinpascu:
I have the same issue as you, one month ago; I switched on Sensation Black, a very good phone for daily usage (regardless its battery issues) but, I manage to keep also the HD2 which is the most tweak-able device I've ever used.

best regards
[HD2 General] ElectroBeijing:
I'm feeling left behind now that most high end phones are dual core, and quad core are right around the corner! Not that I need that kind of power, I'm just afraid that stock Android will start to lag on the HD2 and I'll have to upgrade [ or be stuck with a slow phone :O ]
[HD2 General] Kusay:
Dear,

try to check the SonyEricsson Arc, it's very nice one
[HD2 General] jwchips:
The Arc is a nice phone, but its not a flagship device like the hd2 was when it was first released.

As for a phone worth upgrading to, there are none that fit the bill just yet. I'm personally waiting for Qualcomm's S4 quad core CPU (2.5Ghz per core, each core running at 25% power of the snapdragon in the hd2) to be released into a phone before I upgrade. Theres quite a bit of waiting involved, however. I think the dual-core variant is already being shipped to manufacturers, and the CES conference in February should release more information.

FYI, the rumour mill is already at work regarding these chips - http://androidandme.com/2011/11/news/rumor-first-28nm-snapdragon-s4-devices-to-arrive-by-february/

First quad core device codenamed HTC Edge (running Tegra 3 quad core @ 1.5Ghz per core) - http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/11/htc-nvidia-quad-core-tegra-3/
[HD2 General] ElectroBeijing:
I actually love the Arc ROM available for the HD2, and I would consider an Arc [ or the Arc HD], only thing is that I don't think they're available to us here in the US...or is it called something else here?
[HD2 General] supercatic4:
WOW - that HTC Edge device looks awesome - would love a windows phone with similar spec.
[HD2 General] matejdro:
Maybe last WP7 device will be next HD2? (if they switch to W8)

I don't feel the need to replace my HD2 yet, but I'm still looking after "new HD2", to see what might be worthwhile updating later. But I'm yet to see something like that.

Maybe it will come, after HD2 gets really old (when majority of games and heavy apps will not run smooth) and start loosing developers at very fast rate. After all, developers will have to go somewhere. Let's just hope that they will all move to same device.
[HD2 General] zimasha:
See samsung galaxy tab sII. Number 1 in many reviews.
[HD2 General] loselover:
In fact, although HD2 is stable at android, wm6.5, wp7,

but it more like a toy...

if you need stablest communication, you may buy a nokia....
[HD2 General] matejdro:
Do you mean galaxy tab or galaxy s2? If first, we are looking for phone here.

And I don't care about reviews. I'm looking for must customizable and developed phone, not necessarily best one.
[HD2 General] samson_420:
So far from I have seen the only other phone that looks like it might be competition is the Galaxy sII.

But, I have had a horrible experience with the last one(A true POS - the Vibrant).

Yet the new one looks pretty promising. . . . Maybe

But, I just can't swing a close to 500 Dollar price tag.
[HD2 General] Ouzo:
Here in the UK the SGSII is still too expensive SIM free, considering how long it has been out. If it were 50% cheaper I would buy one to tide me over...

Other than that, the jury is out for me. Every time I see a new handset announced that interests me, the manufacturer screws it up by omitting something that is important for me that I already take for granted - e.g a MicroSD card slot (Micro SDXC is the way forward - especially once I start to watch hi-def movies on my phone and stream to my tv).

I'd also like the same size screen or slightly bigger, but in a smaller device. It will happen in time I'm sure but I'm amazed how long it is taking. Why are so many OEMs are focusing solely on the thickness of the device? Okay, so the Razr (or part of it) is super thin, but it's wider than our HD2 for goodness sake!?!?

Finally.....I like buttons. There, I said it, my shame is out in the open. I remember when just about every hardware button on a device could be programmed for both short and long presses. Notification LEDs rock too. Oh dear, now I have publicly humiliated myself completely.... ; )
[HD2 General] samson_420:
So true, I don't like having a single button to wake the phone up. Even the iPhone has 2.
[HD2 General] zimasha:
I meant Galaxy SII. I am not sure whether it is customizable or not:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] Mister B:
A few quality tactile hardware buttons are a must, I can press a button by feel & also know it has been depressed by feel, touch buttons are not that practical in real world use but great marketing gimmicks to sell useless ****e.

Sure they tell us buttons are not reliable & wear out. Yes these days they do because of cheap ass manufacture, my HTC Magician still works today & all its buttons feel as good as new.

Also status LEDs are incredibly useful as is the SD card slot, having my data stored on internal storage chip of a modern short life phone is an option I will not accept even if offered a non SD card slot handset for free.

Manufacturers need to start making ground breaking devices not ground breaking profits.
[HD2 General] ferincr:
I just managed to kill my HD2 so I'm in the look for a new phone too!!!

I wish there were any decent repair shops here (Costa Rica) with the spares to fix my HD2:(:(:(

Cleaning the usb port (yes I started having the "stuck in carkit mode" issue I manged to break one of the connector strips:o so that's it...
[HD2 General] Ouzo:
I was told by someone at a party (a fellow nerd) a while ago that, relatively speaking, buttons are extremely expensive components (relatively, not literally) for manufacturers to buy, and that is why we are being pushed towards buttonless devices. I can't remember the example I was given, but component 'x' (a chip of some sort) was a few pence per thousand, but some crappy little button to be soldered to a main board was actually more expensive (not sure if that included the cost of soldering it to the main board). I've no idea if it's true, but it sounds as though the removal of buttons is all about profit margins and has nothing to do with trying to make a better experience for the user. Shame : (

Glad it's not just me that cares about SD card slots, buttons and notification LEDs : )
[HD2 General] matejdro:
Yeah, it's a shame that new devices have new buttons.

Actually, only device that makes sense to use capacitive buttons is Galaxy Nexus, where buttons can be hidden, so screen area is bigger. Other devices have static buttons, so I cannot see how is capacitive button experience being better than normal "clicky" one.

But while I like normal buttons, capacitive ones are not as big deal for me. Top priority for me is customizability and currently no phone can offer it as much as HD2 :)
[HD2 General] ferincr:
I'm giving up on the hopes to be able to get another HD2 T9193:( I've been looking at the Galaxy S2 but I feel weird just with the thought of buying a non HTC phone:o I'm already missing the Swype app...
[HD2 General] ElectroBeijing:
While I do like some of the new offerings [ GS2, Sensation, Galaxy Nexus], I kinda would rather have a phone thats natively Windows [ just like the HD2], ,so I can boot between multiple OSes. However, it would be nice to see one that can boot both from NAND as opposed to putting Android off to the SD :(
[HD2 General] hagba:
I am thinking of getting the Samsung Galaxy Note, since there is no going back to smaller screen, next week it will be exactly two years for my HD2, meanwhile my Iphone went to my wife my galaxy tab 10.1 to my son and another Galaxy tab but 3G to my wife again.

My HD2 is as new as the first day, I used WP7, android Rom every fortnight but keep cumming back to WM, it does everything so well with the custom Rom you might not believe it but I have couple of apps using which the equivalent is not even available on the IOS or Android side! ! .

damn I can even read more than four languages on it.

However the wheel of fashion keeps on turning, two years with a single phone is too much, I don't like to confine myself with the Zune or with the Itunes for that matter, so decided to go with the Android, and since we the HD2 owners were the first to jump to a larger screen so I will continue that same tradition and will go to the 5.3 inch screen as it is already available here starting from today and will cost $820,

However I will keep my HD2 as long as it functions well.

Is anyone using Thor ROM v12? I know many folks use his kernel. Wondering how his ROMs rate before I flash and reinstall everything
[Acer Iconia A500] DRTMI:
I have been using them for a while now and they are very fast and stable.

A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.
[Acer Iconia A500] slow_DC4:
i use them also and no complaints here.
[Acer Iconia A500] blcklab:
Do you know if they are hulu enabled? Not a big deal but that's a real plus for Civato's excellent mix ROM
[Acer Iconia A500] hatefuel19:
Yes they come with no flash reinstalled so you can install a hulufied flash....some games don't work because the build.prop sets the tablet as the eee pad
[Acer Iconia A500] Jigga0o7:
His roms (including v12) are faster than any of the others I've tried. I really have no idea why that is, but I've definitely got no complaints. Plus v12 is themed to look similar to ICS for Tablets.
[Acer Iconia A500] Cactus42:
Best by far. OCd to 1400 with no reboots, no crashes.

Wonder how long before the lock comes...
[Acer Iconia A500] fasteddy86:
I guess I'm the lone dissenting voice here. I tried V11 and I found it to be much laggier than Light speed.
[Acer Iconia A500] blcklab:
Which overclock governor do you use? Also is 1400 significantly decreasing your battery life? stock is pretty fast.

I installed hulu enabled flash from titanium works great.

So far so good
[Acer Iconia A500] zachary.hilliker:
Yeah, I really like the ICS look he put on v12
[Acer Iconia A500] sw6lee:
I'm using the v12, and it works really well! I didn't know honeycomb could be this good. lol One thing I'm having problem with is that I only have 155~250 mb of free ram. On other roms, with about the same amount of apps installed, and not much open, I have about 350~400 mb free, but this rom is weird.. Any advice please?
[Acer Iconia A500] WarbyD:
hrmmm man i need to stop reading these forums ... got me downloading v12 now to try out!

In the past week i've gone: Stock 3.0.1 -> Lightspeed -> Near Stock 3.2 -> Taboonay -> Lightspeed and now looks like i'll be adding thor to that list too haha.. Getting sick of re-installing apps :P

Wow! Just installed thor rom v12 and gotta say .. none of the other roms have been this quick & smooth straight off the bat.. haven't installed or changed anything yet, but first impression is good ... app drawer, stock apps, switching home screens, etc seems very fast & smooth..

Thor 12

Wonderful. It is heavier in size to download as compared to light speed but after installing and putting same amount of apks its almost the same size on storage search. Wish they could just put a different skin on the browser.

Fastest ROM on the A500. Would be even better if build.prop was for iconia and mot the epad IMO.
[Acer Iconia A500] SoHaunted:
ive been running V12 for the past few days running a 1.6GHZ overclock stable as can be. It runs smooth a butter, I've found my everyday driver.

I have noticed that it eats up battery a bit faster than other Roms but I use setcpu to manage clock speeds and all is well.

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

In the dev section there is a thread with a custom build prop for V12 that makes the tab an Acer instead of an eeepad at the cost of one or two Asus apps not working.
[Acer Iconia A500] blcklab:
Want to share your setcpu settings?

Do you have a link to that build.prop? I could not find anything. What's the harm in using the Asus one?
[Acer Iconia A500] NoUseToRush:
using Thor's last kernel and rom, OV at 1336: stable and snappy:)
[Acer Iconia A500] SoHaunted:
There is nothing wrong with using the Asus buildprop, that's what I'm using right now. The only reason for swapping it out with the custom one is for games and acer apps that only work with the Acer buildprop. Here is the link to the custom prop with more explanation

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1331242

As far as my setcpu settings go I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, some peoples tabs can be overclocked more than others. My first a500 could only reach 1.4ghz before freezing or rebooting. My new a500 can do 1.6 all day without a sweat, default voltages.
[Acer Iconia A500] blcklab:
I'll see how overclocking is on the battery. At home it's no big deal. I suppose for a long flight I could just turn off setcpu or even underclock it.
[Acer Iconia A500] WarbyD:
So far still no complaints with V12! Pretty sure I'll be sticking with this.. Couple of minor issues I was having (wifi dropping out occasionally & tablet waking up on its own) appear to have been rectified with this too... time will tell on those two I guess but so far, i've not seen it with so little "awake" time in battery stats after a night unplugged..

Only problem I've had so far was 1 random reboot (no fc or anything, one second I was setting up a minimlistic text widget, next second I was staring at my boot animation.. only did it once and hasn't done it since)

Thor V12 FTW!

Can't say the 1400 overclock has made any noticeable difference in my "normal" usage. I usually stick it on charge three times a week, but it'll last all the way through the evenings and weekend that way

Also it's definitely the most stable. With other ROMs and kernels I always had random reboots when OCing above 1200mhz, not happened at all with V10, 11 or 12 on Thor's kernels
