If u want to switch to another ROM follow these steps

1) download the *.zip (the ROM zip)

2) go into the recovery n flash it..

3)make a cache wipe n also a factory reset..

4)reboot ur from recovery

Ur done.. :-)

N wifi workin in paul-xxx's ROM depends on the ROM which it is check the details on resp thread.. (actually for paul-xxx's ROM's wifi is working except ICS as its in development..) happy flashin.. ;-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] RayneRz:
thanks, i'm a bit confused about kernels and CWM , because:

When i installed the nAa kernel this " CWM " comes along with it and then i see this on the paul's thread :

Only 2.1.1.A.0.6 SE firmware

So, if i put back the original Kernel, i won't be able to use the CWM and therefore i won't be able to flash the paul's rom, and probably will have a bricked phone, because the rom that is on the phone is not compatible with SE original kernel ..

Am i thinking right here ?

Thanks a milion
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] faiyyaz:
U made me confused for a sec.. lol neways.. Its the 2.1.1.A.0.6 SE firmware not the kernel.. So what u can do is .. switch to the ROM (it will have its recovery) then flash a new kernel if u want (as for nAa kernel, any other ROM than his will not work with phone vibration(if not inbuild) n few feature.. So with other ROMs go with other kerneles like zp kernel, Fa kernel or which u like.. So first change the ROM then the kernel ul go good..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] RayneRz:
I'm still confused because it says this :

If you not 2.1.1.A.0.6, you need to flash FTF file via FlashTool.

PS: hacked bootloader is not needed. This kernel official. This kernel, it returns the firmware on 2.1.1.A.0.6

" this kernel official "

So what happens if i flash the stock kernel, and then the CWM goes away ? I can't then flash the paul's rom and the phone will not enter the OS because the OS i use does not suite for SE original kernel ...

ps. sorry for being such a noob and *****, but i just don't want to brick it.

Julian, writer of the german blog webos-blog.de, just spoke to openmobile about ACL (Application Compatibility Layer).

Seems like we are soon able to run Android Apps natively on webOS.

German Blogpost

Original Datasheet ACL
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] pullathomas:
That would be great if OpenMobile provided that to WebOS developers and/or consumers. I believe their primary market for the ACL is OEM manufacturers though :( It doesn't sound like this will ever be available as an "app" of sorts as a consumer product. I do hope i'm wrong though..
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] funk21:
sounds like great news, I love webos' ui
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] aowendoff:
I hope you are wrong also. I have tried CM7 on the touchpad and it worked very well, but it just does not have the polish and great feel that Web)S brings to the table.

Honestly, if there were a lot more free apps in the HP App Catalog like Android has, I would not even think of putting Android on my device in any shape or form. But unfortunately, if do not see that happening so being able to run Android as a card is the next best thing in my opinion.

Hi

I bought a cheap MHL cable from e-bay and i did not succeed to output via HDMI.

All i see it is "unusable mode" on my tv and randomly sometimes there are scrambled dots.

I was wondering and asking you, if there are any settings in andrioid i have to set to make it work. i have rooted - stock rom.

Thanks!

WHAT IS AN ODEX FILE?

In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.

THEN COMES DEODEX

Deodexing is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files. By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.

In summary, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all their application packages put back together in one place, allowing for easy modification such as theming. Since no pieces of code are coming from any external location, custom ROMs or APKs are always deodexed to ensure integrity.

HOW THIS WORKS

For the more geeky amongst us, Android OS uses a Java-based virtual machine for running applications, called the Dalvik Virtual Machine. A deodexed, or .dex file contains the cache used by this virtual machine (referred to as Dalvik-cache) for a program, and it is stored inside the APK. An .odex file, on the other hand, is an optimized version of this same .dex file that is stored next to the APK as opposed to inside it. Android applies this technique by default to all the system applications.

Now, when an Android-based system is booting, the davlik cache for the Davlik VM is built using these .odex files, allowing the OS to learn in advance what applications will be loaded, and thus speeds up the booting process.

By deodexing these APKs, a developer actually puts the .odex files back inside their respective APK packages. Since all code is now contained within the APK itself, it becomes possible to modify any application package without conflicting with the operating system’s execution environment.

ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES

The advantage of deodexing is in modification possibilities. This is most widely used in custom ROMs and themes. A developer building a custom ROM would almost always choose to deodex the ROM package first, since that would not only allow him to modify various APKs, but also leave room for post-install theming.

On the other hand, since the .odex files were supposed to quickly build the dalvik cache, removing them would mean longer initial boot times. However, this is true only for the first ever boot after deodexing, since the cache would still get built over time as applications are used. Longer boot times may only be seen again if the dalvik cache is wiped for some reason.

For a casual user, the main implication is in theming possibilities. Themes for android come in APKs too, and if you want to modify any of those, you should always choose a dedoexed custom ROM.

This looks to be a copy and paste from the description here.

If you are not the original author its usually a wise idea to acknowledge the original author/source.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] _JKay_:
And optimized dex files (odex files) may also depended on the framework classes interfaces. This means that you may end up with bootloops or FCs if you change the interface of framework files. The odex files have therefore been given a signature that all files must match.

Deodexed apks can on the other hand be used on several roms as they may only be depended on the resources in the framework-res.apk file.

So you can have an odexed framework with deodexed apks! But if you want to change the interfaces in the Framework then it is easier to deodex all instead of re-odex all.

Thanks for it! For me more clear now.

Sorry guys for posting a stupid question, but i'm not clear on one point.

I have the htc one S [s3]. How can I understand if /system/framework/framework-res.apk (and/or) framework-htc-res.apk are already deodexed? (in a practical manner)

I mean...since is an apk and I'm not seeing any framework-res.odex are they already deodexed? :confused:

Can I straightly modify it?

Thx in advance!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Emothic_Reagan:
Hi... Cant cant i something? So what is better of them?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phssthp0k:
Is not that one is better than the other. They have different characteristiocs. Odexed are smaller and faster while deodexed are easily customizable but needs more space.

Hi All !!

I am a recent convert to Android....... I have trying to install some Custom ROM on my DHD........I have the following stuff on my Phone:

Android Version-2.3.3

HTC Sense version-2.1

Baseband Version- 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M

Kernal Version- 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb

Build Number- 2.50.405.2 CL87995 release-keys

Software Number- 2.50.405.2

Browser Version- Webkit/533.1

After number of sleepless nights I have finally been able to ROOT my phone....and the FASTBOOT mode displays the following info:

Now I want to change the Radio to 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M...to install the Custom ROM.........BUT when I try and install the Radio using the TOOL given in the thread....I get the Message......writing radio....FAILED (remote not allowed)....

I tried the EASYS-OFF tool......It gives me the message Communication Error.....

the Phone is ROOTED...have verified it with Terminal Emulator.......$ Prompt changes to #....when I type su......

GUYS......need some help and fresh perspective......

Any HELP will be appreciated......

Thanxxx
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
The reason it says remote not allowed is because you don't have Eng soff. For those of us that only have soff we flash radios a bit different,(much more convenient in my opinion) but you have to have them in a pd98img zip and flash through bootloader.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majorahole:
ive been kinda out of the rom flashing game for a bit.

but i just flashed prime 3d about a month ago and i've been finding my phone is rather slow, and the battery life is horrible.

so today i read about the ext4 mod, and tried that. my phone seems slightly faster than before as far as opening app drawer and getting into settings and little stuff, but.... my quadrant scores tanked my best is 1046.

with my previous rom i got up to 1700's. am i missing something? was i supposed to make a partition first before the ext4 mod thing?

should i not use setcpu or auto memory manager?

also, what is a good stable ROM that has full camera/camcorder(720p) and can be fast, or long battery life while tethering to my Transformer?

thanks for any info
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagnaCore:
I would try flashing the ext4 on a fresh rom install with a supported kernal. The 3.x roms are just battery hogs. I run Bugless Beast(aosp) Incredikernal with the ext4. My top quadrant was 2200-2300. I'm pretty sure 720p works but don't quote me on that. Wifi tether works fine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majorahole:
i was also wondering about something else. a while back i flashed a kernel with some kind of opengl (or whatever the GPU software was) update, and since when the quadrant graphics 3d tests happen my screen is blank except for the DNA strand one? \

any clue on how to fix this?? i thought it was an incredikernal, but not sure
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majorahole:
i switched to bugless and it feels faster after i did the supercharge v6 thing, but my quadrants are at 1100.

i remembered that when the screen was blank on quadrant i had flashed an incredikernal with gpu+, it was from 2010 and i think thats what my problem is

Try this

So this ROM has some purple in it, but you can use the UOT Kitchen to change what you don't like. I was in the habit of trying all the new ROMs that came out and was flashing all the time until I ran across this ROM. It is pretty much stock, but the battery life is incredible. From what I can tell Facebook for HTC Sense is not present, but with this ROM I have no reason to try the new ones that bog down the phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NextNexus:
So every single time I press a key that would normally make a sound, even if my phone is on vibrate, my Nexus makes a very faint "click" from the speaker. Under normal circumstances this is not really a big deal but when in a quiet room, it becomes REALLY annoying. I didn't even notice this issue until I was sitting in bed one morning reading my email and noticed the noise.

Before you say your device doesn't have this issue, try putting your phone on vibrate mode and then opening an app. As soon as you click the icon to open it, put the phone's speaker up to your ear and wait about 2 full seconds and see if you hear a little "click." Is this a widespread issue or something that is only affecting my device? Hopefully this isn't a hardware issue and can be fixed with a software update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcaquared03:
I experience this issue too, but only from time to time. I think it has something to with the media volume, but I haven't been able to narrow it down to that. It also clicks when I quickreboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NextNexus:
I tried this and it only fixed the issue for noises that would be made from the touch sounds. I still have the issue with all other button presses that would normally result in a sound (if it weren't on vibrate). This is clearly a bug but the question is whether it's hardware or software related!?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sluflyer06:
If I have to put the speaker up to my ear while opening a app to hear it...it doesn't seem like a legitimate problem because thats abnornal use.

However, I've never noticed any weird noises from my speaker and I've had my phone since November.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NextNexus:
As I said, I didn't notice it either until I was in a very quiet room. Now that I know it's there I definitely notice it way more often and I don't have to put the phone near my ear to hear it.

I'm surprised there aren't more people complaining about this. I found this bug listed on the Android website but there hasn't been much discussion about it on XDA at all.

Yea, you have to use Root Explorer or adb to push the apk to the system folder, replacing the old epst file.

And just an FYI, the ##data# thing you are trying to do will NOT give you faster 3g speeds. Sprint's 3g network sucks, the only way to get better speeds is to switch to verizon.

[HTC Rezound] DIncLover:
[Q] Do TempRoot changes "disappear" following factory reset of htc unlocking?

OK, ready to root my new stock rezound. I would love to have a backup of my current stock phone, complete with installed apps, contacts, etc.

So..... must I temp root to back up my present apps, contacts, and settings? Will the temp root process create differences to my stock phone even though I'll be doing a factory reset when I unlock the bootloader?

My question is really, will my phone be identical following both scenarios:

1. Don't temp root --- just unlock bootloader, factory reset, permanent root.

2. Temp root, backup apps, settings, contacts. Then unlock bootloader, factory reset, permanent root.
[HTC Rezound] b5fan:
Unlocking the boot loader will erase all the data on the phone (except the sd card) so the factory reset step is not needed. If you want to make a backup then yes you will have to do that before you unlock.

Yes, if you're backing up with an app like Titanium, you can restore the backup after you unlock/perm-root. SSDD
