[7 Mozart General] grcd:
Hi guys, I am a complete newb to the Windows Phone 7.x scene. I was a long-time user of Window Mobile 6.x before jumping to the Android bandwagon a couple of years ago. I have extensive knowledge with WM 6.x and Android but I know next to nothing about WP 7.x

EDIT: I have found my way around installing custom ROMs. It was much easier than I thought. Some Android devices are much harder to root than the process to do RSPL is on WP7. So far, so good.

I am now happily running an old SPL 1.23 which I use to do RSPL (I am a bit wary of HSPL) and then install custom ROMs.

Can anyone help me/guide me around with these questions?

UPDATE/EDIT: Questions with RED no longer need to be answered, as I have found the answers myself

1) Can I debrand it so I get back to the main HTC fork (which hopefully gets updates sooner)?

2) Can these mobile phones be overclocked? If yes, does it yield any good results, and if it does, how can I do it?

3) What is the process for installing custom ROMs, and is there any merit to doing this (i.e. in Android Cyanogen and MIUI often offer a better overally package than equivalent stock ROMs)

4) Which is the best radio update to use? I remember HTC phones are notorious about having radio revisions that are 'better' or 'worse'. My Touch Diamond had this issue, and so did my Hero and Desire.

Also, if you think that there is anything else I need to know, I would be glad to hear (about) it.

Many thanks in advance!!!
[7 Mozart General] FrozenLord:
Hi,

@2)

Not that I am aware of.

@4)

For the moment, radio updates are not provided as stand-alone updates.

Therefore, radio-updates always come with other software-updates that influence the battery-power themselves (and that might tinker with internal drivers as well).

This makes it difficult to impossible, to accurately measure the performance of a single radio-version.

So far, I don't know of any specific radio topic (like there was for the HTC Diamond) that compares signal strength and power consumption.

Your best bet seems to be (for now) to either try them yourself and see what works best or just stay with the one you currently have.

I can provide you with a tutorial, on how to rip radio updates from the large update packs.

For a tutorial on how to flash them (including a standalone 5.71 radio update), see my post in the Mozart General section.

Best regards,

Hi all,

After Flashing my XPERIA MINI PRO to 4.0.2.A.0.42 from WOTAN SERVER, my phone can no longer connect to WIFI. Also, my phone has no vibrate except if you will turn it on. Any fix you guys know?:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nicocmoi81:
Maybe you should try to reflash it with SEUS now.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ungazz:
is it ok to do that even if i rooted my phone and unlocked the boot loader?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xperia ray:
you can use Sony update service if you have rooted phone but with unlocked boot loaders it will brick

strange , i think wotan is better but in your case it is not good solution for firmware flashing

Completely off-topic but how do you like the micro cell? I was thinking about getting one.
[Motorola Atrix 2] duke8804:
i like it. works like it is supposed to. i live in the one spot of the city that gets no coverage at all and it gives me signal. they only down side is that if you are streaming a video or downloading files it will get very choppy (which is understandable). but other than that it is awesome.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ebaul:
If this sounds like a noob...well it actually is...but what is a micro cell and is it for the A2..?
[Motorola Atrix 2] duke8804:
Basically it is a mini cell tower in your home that uses your internet. So if like me you get no reception at home it will give you full reception.

I tried to replace the two files using root explorer and now my phone just repeates the boot animation. What can i do?
[Motorola Atrix 2] r.iqbal87:
How did you replace them? Root Explorer or ADB? Because if you did it with root Explorer, it would have automatically rebooted when you replaced the Framework.apk, and then continue to bootloop after that. If you did use root explorer, the issue is a result of incorrect permissions being set on the framework apk.

Assuming your phone is rooted, you can chance the permissions to the framework.apk, or push the original back to the phone. I dont know the exact commands to put into the terminal, but hopefully someone here could type those out and list them?

Hope it helps, and good luck!, because what just happened was, your phone was soft-bricked, and until an sbf is released that you could flash, this would be the only plausible way to fix it.

DO NOT DO A FACTORY RESET/DATA WIPE THROUGH THE STOCK RECOVERY!

It will get rid of your root permissions, and then there's no hope until an sbf is released :(:mad:.
[Motorola Atrix 2] iB4STiD:
Your going to have to use adb for this!

1. download the system dump over at the development section for atrix 2

2. you will need 2 file from the dump framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk

3. put those 2 files on the root of ur sdcard

4. load adb and at the prompt type this

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cat /sdcard/SystemUI.apk > /system/app/SystemUI.apk

chmod 755 /system/app/SystemUI.apk

now type this for framework

cat /sdcard/framework-res.apk > /system/framework/framework-res.apk

chmod 755 /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Next type

reboot

That should fix it ......

let me know how it works for ya
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
I've just tried the FM radio on the Note and although I live in a poor signal area for FM radio it found 15 stations. This is the first time I've had FM radio on a phone and I think it will be useful when I'm unable to use WIFI. The sound quality is good and plenty loud enough for noisy situations.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] htc6500uk:
You can also route the audio to the speaker (you still have to keep the earplugs lead connected as it is the FM aerial). It also has twelve station presets, RDS (Radio Data System with AF option) and you can record the radio.

No joy on an AT&T note device

I was at my local AT&T store in Illinois this past weekend and downloaded the Spirit FM application To one of their brand-new galaxy note devices.

Sorry to report but when the application downloaded and I launched it it did not find any FM device available. I wonder if it's the same kind of deal with the American phones as I've seen with other galaxy devices where the FM Chip is either disabled or left out for whatever reason

a note to Samsung I would gladly pay a few dollars extra to have the FM radio enabled on their devices in the future.

the only reason I can think of that they did not want to included is to take advantage of their customers data plan. all us rich Americans have to pay I guess.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Sagui:
Hi everyone,

I was wondering if I had stumbled across something that everyone already knows about, or whether I found something important. At the http://opensources.samsung.com it seems that sources are available for both P7500 and P7510 models (under "Mobile Phone").

Link:

https://opensource.samsung.com/index.jsp

I downloaded and extracted the file and they look like source files to me.

Could these files be used to create a mod to improve screen polling on our Tabs? If so, please someone with the know-how and the toolchains already in place, increase polling events X2 so I can use my tab for note taking.

Thanks!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStick13:
Hey guys,

I'm getting a wifi-only Xoom in a couple days, and I'm thinking about unlocking and rooting it the minute I power it up. I've rooted, overclocked, flashed rom's, tweaked kernels and generally messed around with a bunch of my other Android devices, so it is kind of a no-brainer for me to do it to my new tablet. After reading through a ton of threads in the forums here, my question is pretty simple: Is there any reason NOT to root my Xoom?

Thanks in advance!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tincbtrar:
It voids your warranty. If that is important to you then beware. There are ways to get it back to unroot though if you do enough research.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStick13:
Yeah, that doesn't bother me at all. Like I said, I've spent a good amount of time voiding my other Android warranties. I don't wanna break my streak! :-)

I was more wondering if I was going to lose any key functionality by rooting (I noticed a thread about Google Video having a root check).
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
From my experience, if rooted you can't:

Accept OTA updates

Successfully rent/download/stream movies from Google (there may be a work-around)

...and that's about it. Oh yeah, you can screw up your Xoom if you really try very hard, but you already knew that ;^)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
I believe DFT has an HD7 Mango ROM with Internet Sharing.

That said, it would be nice to have this on another ROM, especially on the retail one (if possible). It's possible to associate a filetype with an application, so you can make the phone do *something* with XAPs, but I don't know how to actually invoke the XAP installer.

I have a problem with all ROMS on XDA till now, even official 2.3.3

During SIP/VOIP calling, the person on other end hears echo of his/her self during the call. It is like three people talking in a call or the person on opposite end talking to himself.

Note: I am using Internet calling/VOIP/SIP settings inbuilt in the ROM. Normal Voice calls work all right without echo. Echo is present even when using third party VOIP/SIP Softwares.

If any one can help please... thanks in advance.

Also thanks for a good ROM, great effort..

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow Monkey:
I always use Nero recode, great for converting video and i always use the iPhone settings for conversion. You need to have additional software installed to convert copy protected DVD's.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayxGee1:
How's the quality if I would covert a blu-ray?

And what would the additional software be? I have access to a lot.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow Monkey:
I've never tried Bluray and don't think recode supports. Anydvd running in the background tells recode to ignore the protection and allows recode to convert it.

You don't need the quality of Bluray, you get exceptional quality from a 1gb conversion from DVD and if I play the same converted file on my HD7 and girlfriends 4S I think the HD7 picture is much better (and bigger)!

4. 4 daily alarms

5. No Viber, but full widgets on 4 pages, and always memory resident: Battery Mix, ADW Launcher, Android Assistant, Autokiller Memory Optimizer, Prey, Vibration Notifier, Where's my droid.
