I see a few sides to this case.

Yes, the OP should not have created a thread in the Development section.

Yes, while naive in his posting, the reaction that followed, was unjustified.

No, the conduct show by many members of the Desire HD community is bang out of order.

XDA recently added a new sub rule to help make XDA a friendlier place for n00b's

It's time this was enforced.

Lastly, posting "Lock Thread", "Close Thread" & "Delete Thread" does not summon a moderator. I don't get a phonecall from MikeChannon, telling me to check it out. Use the "Report Post" button.

I get a great big yellow banner on every page I view telling me that there is a reported post. Please use it, that way not so many users would of fallen foul of 2.5

On that note, Thread Closed.

Would it be possible to use windows 8 on our android phone like we made ubuntu work? or even make it a custom rom??

With ubuntu we pretty much just mount the .img and connect to it with vnc right? couldnt we do the same with the dev. preveiw of windows 8?

[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
Hi Everyone,

Now that the P930 rooting/CWM/Recovery scene is officially in swing, I thought I would reach out to you all and ask that if anyone had a spare few minutes, could you please post stock partition images from your MMCBLK0P1, MMCBLK0P8, MMCBLK0P13, MMCBLK0P14 and MMCBLK0P27 please to help out. A complete set of these are needed for each model/carrier too to be called a ROM. We are primarily trying to get the .KDZ files which are the best way to restore your unit.

In case you forget or need a refresher, here are the partitions and their associated image names for MOST models of the P930 (SU640 and Nitro HD confirmed have the same filesystem):

mmcblk0p1 -> firmware.img

mmcblk0p8 -> boot.img

mmcblk0p13 -> recovery.img

mmcblk0p14 -> baseband.img

mmcblk0p27 -> system.img

Currently, we have a Nitro HD ROM available but we are still looking for:

Bell Optimus 4G LTE

NTT DoCoMo

SKTel

We now have the following ROM images:

LG U+ LU6200: Download it from HERE <thx richard.w!!>

So please contribute, it would be most appreciated by all.

Thank you all in advance, and thank you to all currently helping out.
[LG Nitro HD] tokie_:
dont we also have to have the mmcblk0p1 and mmcblk0p14?
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
Good point my friend, thanks for pointing that out!
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
I think I should hesitantly point out that those partitions might not be the same on all variants. They happened to be on the Nitro and SU640, though. Also, it'd be easier for people to flash the full .kdz if it's available for their phone.
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
Yup, you are also right, but since the KDZ is not available for the Optimus 4G LTE from bell right now, this thread would serve it's purpose to build one, or for others as well to keep the .kdz's fresh and up to date in case of recovery. Wanted to have a central thread with the images listed for quick access as well.

God, i love input from everyone! :) makes me realize i have alot to learn still in my old age.

From my perspective,android is still linux but a simplified mobile version..i guess that is why it was possible to port ubuntu to work on it.

As regards windows 8 ,i really think it is impossible due to the hardware specs nd libraries.

[Windows 8 General] ssjsimran:

[Windows 8 General] 739898013:
it seems to be impossible , coz maybe it needs to rewrite all base drivers, and i wonder if the hardware supports it.

hopeless....i think.
[Windows 8 General] Dexter_nlb:
Tegra3 android is one platform already used for windows8 beta arm , which was seen on ces. so its possible, but sure all drivers needs to be made or compiled for arm cpu.

and it is said that bootloader will contain encrypted keys to boot windows somehow, i do not know the complete story here, probably a BIOS edition like on regular pc's.

hopeless, not at all. just look at iMac when it started on x86, we had their OS on non-mac's and their hardware was dualbooting win7/MacOS.
[Windows 8 General] joao12ferreira:
it will be just a matter of time, until someone do that, if you can run windows 95/98 and XP on HTC EVO 3D why not Windows 8?

you have probably seen a remotedesktop like SplashTop for android shown.
[Windows 8 General] da_gluck:
OS Run

As far as i know all this OS are running on virtual machine, so... it's laggy, it works only with standart drivers, so there is no any hardware acceleration. I think some people will keep trying to port Win8, but as other says, it can be very hard, mb cotulla can, he know Win7 embedded core, so it can be like Win8 core. And another one peace - as i know Win8 for tablets and PCs will be same, but WP8 will have another core part.
[Windows 8 General] Dexter_nlb:
I doubt anyone would use a VM edition on win95 on a Tegra3 tablet in 2012.. Its fine for proof of concept, but you are talking emulation of a cpu, and nothing is native and especially not worth using daily.

I am talking 100+ mil. users using windows8 on tablet, and not 2 users trying to make a statement using Vmware editions of win95 in 2012, when win8 is about to be running natively on our ARM platform.

i would NOT call a VM edition of win95 running on a tegra tablet worth using..

and running win95 in sandbox is not like running win8 natively without a sandbox around it. so the statement is really not true.
[Windows 8 General] boostadv:
And why you need Windows on Android? huh
[Windows 8 General] Dexter_nlb:
i think you got it wrong.

we need windows8 on Tegra3 ARM based hardware, which happens also to share a android based platform.

its like asking ppl for an Linux for x86 hardware, which is there for those that like to install it. nothing else..

No one would like to run windows in a android environment as emulation, its simply too slow to use for anything. then RemoteDesktop(splashtop) simply does a better job although 2 machines are suddenly required.

[Acer Iconia A500] esugrue:
Hi

I installed a ROM a while back that was not an Acer stock ROM but now wish to go back to the current stock ACER Rom so that it will do an OTA Update when ICS is released (whenever that is!).

Anyway I looked at this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1276227

(I can't reply in it - and have to ask here).

Will that thread and instructions in Post 1 work to get me back to an ACER Rom that will be recognized and trigger an OTA update or is there an easier way.

I didn't backup anything when I did the original non-stock installation.

Ernie
[Acer Iconia A500] ktmdave7:
some options...

option 1 : Read This -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420382

A)If you don't ROOT it, It MIGHT OTA Update and (overwrite CWM Recovery)

B)if you run "acer recovery installer" app, you could get older Stock Recovery back (if CWM Recovery won't work)

option 2 :

Stock Untouched HC v3.2 ROM (Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2) -> http://vache-android.com/files/Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2.zip

*** Warning : You will Loose BOOTloader ability (Recovery mod will not work anymore)

-Upate OTA on Tab to HC v3.2.1 (Acer_A500_7.014.01_COM_GEN2) 8MB Update download -> Reboot

-Upate OTA on Tab to HC v3.2.1 (Acer_A500_7.014.02_COM_GEN2) 8MB Update download -> Reboot

-I 100% Know for fact, you will be able to OTA Update (cus it has STOCK RECOVERY)

option 3 iNFO : go back to HC v3.1 (Acer_A500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2)

-Older version, but able to Keep 100% stock (if not ROOTED)

-This is the last HC v3.1 before HC v3.2 (v3.2 Kills Bootloader or Locks your RECOVERY)

-OTA Updates would be :

#1 v3.2 (Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2) 357MB

#2 v3.2.1(Acer_A500_7.014.01_COM_GEN2) 8MB

#3 v3.2.1(Acer_A500_7.014.02_COM_GEN2) 8MB

Root HCv3.1 + CWM Recovery

-"Iconiaroot.apk" will ROOT on HC Versions up to v3.1 (NOT v3.2)

-once Rooted, you can use "Acer Recovery Installer 2.54.apk" to install CWM Recovery v1.34

-in CWM Recovery, you can Update "CWM Recovery v1.6v2.zip" file.

*** BACKUP Current ROM, CLEAN Wipe+Format, Installing ROM :

Reboot into CWM Recovery MOD : [Volume Down] + [POWER] long press.

(A) Backup and Restore -> Full Backup ->

(B) Wipe Menu -> Wipe... Cache, data (factory reset), dalvik-cache, battery stats

(C) Mounts and Storage Menu -> Format... System, data, cache, flexrom

(D) Install from Zip File -> Choose Zip File from SD Card -> {any ROM.zip, Superuser.zip, etc}

(E) Reboot System.

*** GEN2 is for USA models, I wouldn't try these methods if you have _GEN1 or another version

In Post #1, Method #2 Works (most peps prefer method #2)

It will get you to a non stable HC v3.0.1 ROM.

From there you can Install a better ROM after some steps.
[Acer Iconia A500] >DARKMAN<:
I had to return to stock to exchange mine for a hardware issue, the easiest way is if you made a backup (as you should have) before you flashed the custom rom, just boot into CWM recovery. Restore your backup, then reboot, use acer recovery installer to install stock recovery image. Done!

I just had my prime wipe itself because of the way i put it down! I was ready to go to bed and put it on my nightstand on its edge. A few minutes later I hear a loud vibration and i look up to see a screen is showing saying its wiping all user data.

It tuns out if you hold the volume down button it goes into some kind of recovery mode and the if you press volume down twice it confirms the wipe. Bad news is that if you set it down on its left edge the volume down button gets held down and automaticly confirms the wipe.

So I learned my lesson but I wanted to post this as a warning to everyone else.

Try the drivers from Asus as suggested, especially if you have automatic updates disabled in windows for some rediculous reason.

that's the only way to connect it, the usb port on the dock will not let you connect to a PC.

Thanks everyone!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Really your results may vary from others expierence so with that taken into account try Legendary 2.2. I used that for a while and was able to squeeze out around 18+ hours in low signal areas. I don't know if the gps is alright but there is a fix and its not a flashable it has to do with permissions. Also you can add the newest samurai kernel with that. Since your on an old rom I'm sure you have no clue about the mtd and bml partitions available so be cautions on what you download and flash. If your on bml make sure the kernel is as well.

Another suggestion is try cm7 with the samurai kernel. If 4g isn't a deal breaker.

Ok, like the OP, I have been running Bonsai 4.0 from day 1. (I guess it works so well, we never look for upgrade? or maybe the 4.1 brick fiasco scared us off, lol)

Epic 4g flashed to cricket, rooted, CWM 3.0, ext4, goLauncher. fairly happy, but could use some more speed and battery, plus new toys are FUN. So....

Let's have it out. Here's what my research has turned up:

Bonsai 4.1.3 (stable, but froyo based)

vs

Sprint's new OTA GB update (don't really wanna unroot unless there's something amazing about this, plus as a cricket customer, can I even get this update?)

vs

Legendary

vs

CleanGB

vs

SleeperROM

I've heard a bit in this thread about SleeperVSCleanGB, but I'd like more comparisons, and to hear about any other candidates/factors we should be considering (Xtreme? will I lose ext4 by switching to MTD? should I care?)

thx a bunch for your time! :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Yes you will lose ext4 by switching to mtd... but you gain yaffs2 which is much more stable than ext4... so no worries there... and I have tried every ei22 rom out and the best bml imo is legendary and the best mtd is viper rom or cleangb mtd.... being a cricket user you probably won't get the ota because sprint is who pushes it out... also if your using bonsais recovery you will need to flash cwm 5.0.2.7 (officially supported for our phones) before trying to upgrade to a custom ei22 rom... you won't lose root by going to any of the custom roms cuz root is already in the roms as you probably know... and imo ei22 is way better than froyo... only problem with ei22 was the gps (I never had any problems but most did) but all of the custom ei22 roms have the gps fix built in... happy flashing!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxfanj:
Personally my favorites are cm7 and miui.us, though I haven't tried any ei22 based roms.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] actnupnla:
Im on MIUI at the moment, but I've tried quite a few. You can read as many posts about how a certain ROM works. But, you won't really know what suits you and your phone until you try them out!

BTW- I Like MIUI a lot, except for how fast my batteries die(i carry a backup:)).

I go through both in LESS than 12 hours, easy! Then again, the problem may be with my phone or the charger i'm using, so don't let me discourage you.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wispoffates:
I suggest CM7 but I'm bias as I assist with the development.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427645

Really the best thing to do is try all of them and see what you like best each phone reacts differently with different ROM. Many people report CM7 being the best battery wise but others have terrible results.

GPS wise most roms share the same GPS fixes so you shouldn't notice a difference between individual roms.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epiclectic:
Cool, thx for the feedback. I will check out Viper, MIUI, and CM7 (been eyeing cyanogenmod for a while, but I thought they hadn't ported for Epic 4G yet?)

Also glad my fear of leaving ext4 is gone....by bye BML, hello MTD! :)

Now, if we can just get that ICS ported..... :P

Yep cm7 has the 4g and cm9 (ics based) is on the horizon!!! :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epiclectic:
Also seems like I should try the BML roms 1st, since if I want to switch back from a MTD rom, I have to Odin it, yes? (Seems the layers of complexity/risk go apps/themes/launchers/titanium backups/CWM restores/ODIN.... I feel like I want to avoid ODIN except in emergencies, lol)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Odin really isn't that bad as long as you don't use the stock cable and get a good one... a follow all directions to the T! And yes to go back from mtd you do have to odin... but like I said not that bad... I do it at least once a week...

For me, IMHO, it is a toss up between Clean GB and Starsky ROM (both MTD versions).
