Ello!

I'm getting my 2x in a couple days and I'm kinda new to all this custom ROM bamboozle. BUT I have been reading up on it all and I think I now have a vague idea of how to go about doing things. Would I be correct in saying:

1) Root

2) Install ROM manager/Clockwork thingy

3) Wipe phone/clear data etc

4) Flash temasek's KANG ROM

5) Flash Google applications or something (?)

6) Flash Vadonkas KANG kernel (I've heard it goes well with that ROM)

But I am fairly lost on:

. RIL and baseband. Do I need not bother with this if I have the ROM and stuff up to date? I'm not 100% sure what they are/do

. Whats the difference between these kang kernels:

-base version

-32M ramhack shared version

-32M ramhack version

Sorry for being a newbie and all, but a HUGE thanks to anyone that can lead me in the right direction :D

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
Baseband is what connects to your network. This is subjective on what one is best, but some roms, especially gb based roms, will specify which one you must use.

Ril is the bit that connects the bb stuff to all other things such as android and hardware etc. This is really easy to change using lggetril app from the market. Just check the one that is the same as your bb is called.

This may be a but simplistic by me but if unsure on bb to use ask in the thread of the ROM you're going to use
[LG Optimus 2x] Vidroid:
It seems that you are well prepared, but you should for safety, make a nandroid backup from recovery before you wipe your phone. It could come in handy...

Also, since you're not experienced I think you should wait with install of another kernel than the one that comes with Temasek's kang. This is the most stable one, and is least expected to bring your phone into an unwakeable sleep aka bsod.

For baseband; use the one that comes with the phone and check it out. If it works well, keep it, if not, then you can dig into the issue. Remember to use the getril app to match your ril with the baseband, CM7 comes with 218 ril, but your phone has probably a more recent baseband.

Welcome and good luck!

You should also have nvflash recovery handy.

When i first tried to flash CM7.1 KANG and kernel it went into a loop at startup. Used the recovery and it worked after second install.

I can also recommend ADW EX Launcher. I got it during the 10 Days 10 Cents sale, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase! The performance is significantly improved over the stock Launcher app, and very easy to use.

If you're more budget minded, you might want to try the free ADW Launcher or GO Launcher EX. I haven't tried it personally, but the screen shots and feature list look good, and I'm a big fan of the GO Keyboard.

[Gen9, Gen10 General] EleCtrOx666:
Yeah, ADW is the smoothest(hardware accelerated) and best Launcher on Honeycomb IMO.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] tcunha87:
Its fine on phones. I like it and i used for long on my phone, but on the archos icons are too small and launcher pro works better with phone options.

So i founded these days the iLauncher and i can tell you that it a complete different experience. Its smoother, intuitive easy to use. Archos seems mucher faster.

And i have something strange goig on, chrome just stops working some times and i dont know why and it did before a installed this launcher too.

Anyone experiencing something like it?

Hi all,

I've just been with my friend in work when we spotted the PS3 controller for android phones app, and so we downloaded the compatibility check, his passed :((galaxy Nexus)

Mine Failed EVO 3D running sense :(

I know there was a problem withe the bluetooth stack within sense UI, but surely someone must have broken through this barrier and got it to work on our beloved androids running Sense UI.

Apparently there was some talk about the wiimote being worked on for Sense phones, but i've not been able to see it nor have i read much on google, try searching "Sense UI bluetooth controller" and you'll find a tonne of sites telling you how it DOENS'T work on sense ui :( not good.

Any info, (hopefully good news) would be nice.

Cheers :)
[HTC EVO 3D] netwokz:
Short of porting the AOSP stack to sense, I don't think it will be possible.
[HTC EVO 3D] dlads:
Where does that bluetoothbstack reside? Surely there must be a way to extract it, i read that its only missing a protocol, hid its called, the guys who created cyanogenmod would probably be the best people for this. Gaming on android is going to take off, hdmi connection and controller support, htc needs to get on the bandwagon.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bolochan:
hi i am on 2.3.4 (58), rooted and supercharged, and something strange happened. My phone reset itself. After the reset, I found I only had two options on the power menu, power off and snapshot, compared to the normal 4 options. Also, the home(middle) button doesn't have any effect. One more thing I have noticed is the the lock screen doesn't show up either. After this unprompted reset, the crappy bloatware was back on my phone. Has this happened to anyone before? I have tried both hard and soft resets of the phone, but it hasn't made a difference. I will try using seus but was wondering anyone else seen this?

Rather than continue posting builds as a reply to another thread, I will be using this thread to test my updates and changes. Should relieve all the "where is the link?" posts.

For those asking "but what is different?" I will no longer be uploading to github first and building after so all the changes I make get tested before they are merged and I don't have to compare source to get my results through the replies to a different ROM.

[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Data was broken? This isn't a modification of one of the other builds, so I can't say if it has the same problems until it is tested. Part of the reason I started a separate thread was to not have the issues those builds have get mixed in with what issues I had to look at.

Camera still quite buggy on latest test (stock camera). Although market cameras are very improved. 9 out of 10 pictures with Pudding camera are perfect taken in both land and horizontal. Whole phone experience greatly improved, very fast. Currently haven't noticed a single bug.

Edit: stock camera UI works perfectly (menus, changing picture size, flash)
[Desire HD Android Development] ABorgh:
Is it the camera who is being worked on or the video decoder?
[Desire HD Android Development] pnoire:
Hi

For the glitches with camera in high resolution, a solution is working for a lot of people with Desire HD using Angel Camera from Market

- In system/build.prop, change value of ro.product.model from Desire HD to GT-I9250 or Inspire 4G **

- Save change and reboot

Use Angel Camera with Fine activate and define highest resolution in menu/fine mode pics size. Take a picture. If you're as lucky as I'm, you'll get picture without glitch!

** with value Inspire 4G --> less side effects

Don't work when zooming :(

[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Every ics rom out there looks exactly the same. LiquidSooth and IceCold look like AOKP repackaged with a renamed toolkit. When did everything get so standardized?

I only say that because trying to add one feature from anywhere else leads to conflicts with not having the 15 others. I see all these "we added" advertisements with a cloned version of something else.

I will eventually be adding some new stuff but first I have to break it free of the preestablished location rather than just restructure my build to fit into the mold.

Looking at roaming and rotation to match CM7 but first I have to cut them loose. New update soon and another after it's done.
[Desire HD Android Development] fp581:
cant wait for the new build :)

btw how can i add choices in the lockscreen?

[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I can as soon as I load it up. Currently there is no data for my device so I can't run it normally even though it is 1000 times better than the CM7 build I have. The build ran while I was out so I didn't get to copy it over.

Added the ability to change carrier text. It needs testing. It was a single dialog box that allowed entering text and required a wipe to restore. I rewrote it to be something that could be turned off and on and integrated it into a rewrite of CM settings that allows the settings to show despite changing dpi. Also added the official text battery and data indicators and a ton of other stuff from CM plus a lot written for this build specifically.

Otherwise very smooth :) hopes it help.

Sorted my lack of MAC with LorDmod's kernel. Still had no wifi access till I applied WiFix.

I should point out I initially flashed IceColdSandwich - 4.1.1 - AOKP and applied these fixes there and they worked. The interface didn't feel as good as the uncompleted Beatmod ICS so I went back to that.

Once I figure out how to manage everything visually, I'll be back on the path of the updated ICS builds.

[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
New kernel is up. It is the link directly under the picture of the ace (second device in the list) that says patch kernel. I removed the references to wifi that were configured into the 720p settings, which i think is something your device doesn't need, but mine did. The kernel is a merge of the changes from my tbolt kernel, so it may have gotten some stuff only needed for that. I also cleaned up a lot of the kernel source and switched to a better compression so it should be a little faster.
[Desire HD Android Development] twistedumbrella:
For those following both threads, the real breakdown is that I write a lot of custom changes. I offer them up to the world. They were being merged to other builds but one developer was flooding my git with questions on how they work after having already added them or only using part of them and then saying I broke the build. I watched other submissions claim developers had made mistakes as well, and would have understood if they had. I have made the occasional " x had a typo" commit myself, but never blaming their work for my own mistakes made copying the change. It has been overlooked far too often while claims are made that no time can be spent with family due to a personal choice to spend it here. Time should be spent with family. It should also be taken when doing work here. Instead, work was being rushed, family neglected, and everyone else being blamed for what is the fault of one persons poor judgement.

Now, on to more important issues...
[Desire HD Android Development] arknailed7754:
twisted keep your thread clean man haha! tried kernel..only thing I can really report at this time is the kernel is making even third party cam apps have corners off as you stated in the other thread...anything else you want me to check?

sorry twisted nope tried a reboot but nothing...when you use the toggle it flips back immediately....when you actually enter into the wifi menu it says its turning on but still nothing...
[Desire HD Android Development] MusikMonk:
Those are the symptoms I get with every ICS ROM, but that's because I'm forced to use WiFix. Perhaps it might work as a temporary workaround for others until the kernel issue is sorted out.

I'm currently downloading latest build myself, so I still haven't tested WiFix on it.

Edit" Never mind, doesn't work.
