are there roms ? i didn't see any rom in forum :(

i don't want stock rom , i want from developer :d

and if there not , when will be realsed ?

best regards
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] orb360:
The device is rooted though which is the biggest thing.

But we don't have many devs yet... And since we are getting ICS *very* soon it's kind of waste of the devs time to work on a custom rom for honeycomb :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] amtrakcn:
So what features you are expecting from modified ROMs?
[HTC Desire S] koffert9:
Hi guys!

I did some research on how to root the Desire S with Hboot 2.00.0002 and I read that many had problems rooting the phone. I had the same problem since the revolutionary method doesn't support hboot 2.00.0002. This made the process a bit harder.

But here is what I did to root my Desire S:

1. Unlocked bootloader using htcdev.com

(I know that Desire S is not listed but if you use "Desire" it will work.)

2. Downloaded Superoneclick v2.3

(This version is included with zergRUSH and Superuser.)

I connected the phone to the computer in USB Debugging mode and opened Superoneclick. Pressed the "Root" button and the process began. After a minute or two the phone was rooted.

The only problem with this method is that the phone is still S-on. But I think you can flash custom roms and so.

I hope this will help you guys! Good luck :)

I don't know what the "Begin Unlock Bootloader" button on http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ is meant to do, but I tried clicking it (AFTER logging in) in 3 different browsers and it did nothing.

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

OK, the answer is that if you access the page at http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ the button doesn't work but if you access it at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ it does. Terribly designed JavaScript!
[HTC Desire S] jez9999:
Well I did exactly the same as you but SuperOneClick just locked up at step #7 WaitForDevice. :-( No idea what's wrong.
[HTC Desire S] abhishek2386:
Sorry for digging up this old post, I am too suffering from the same problem.

Unable to go past the Step #7 Waiting for device

Looks like manu users are facing this problem (after going through SuperOneClick website), but found no solution.

Currently I have unlocked by Bootloader with HTC-dev, and I want to root my stock rom and back it up before trying any other custom rom.

Any help or suggestions on this will be highly appreciated. This is my first post in xda-developers hope everyone will be kind to me :fingers-crossed:

My Device: HTC Desire S (Android 2.3.5 Stock Unrooted)

HBOOT 2.00.002 S-ON

Bootloader: HTC-Dev Unlocked
[HTC Desire S] cnkapadia:
I am facing the same problem!! Help needed.. I am sick of HTC going back and forth on whether Desire S will get an ICS update or not, suggest a fully functional stable rom too
[HTC Desire S] abhishek2386:
If you're just interested in getting an ICS on your device then you can try this steps as you've already unlocked the bootloader the HTC-Dev way:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525100

You can use any ROM as per your choice, my personal preference is Fallout:

Be sure to check and read the threads properly before you jump in.

Note for anyone who can help me: Please let me know if there is a way to ROOT HTC Desire S (HBOOT 2.00.0002) HTC-Dev unlocked, so that I can backup my stock ROM first before trying out the custom ROMs. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Install a custom recovery like 4EXT in the guide you posted and from there flash superuser. I've attached the file you need.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] googleye:
A couple of days ago I noticed my phone partying on my precious mAh's, it won't even last a full day anymore and even though it's being used quite alot I haven't changed my usage and still got a full day and more earlier.

I have auto-sync, wifi and 3g on constantly. But facebook sync is manual, other than that it's just skype(only when I'm logged in) and whatsapp and ofc google services. I think all Google's stuff uses push? I can't find any sync settings for that.

I should add that removing the widget was the first thing I did when I woke up so no actual usage is in the battery log. After that I checked tapatalk for 5 mins and put the phone down, after 20 min battery was down to 60% just like that...

I don't get why it uses around 40 mAh for a minute so often, at one point it was up to 162 mAh. And what the hell was it doing at the end? 60-100 mAh for a full hour? And only because I stopped it, could go on for alot longer I guess...

battery stats

Hi that is weird coz ur stats were excellent up till 8.20 ish, how about adding the 'Log running applications' setting in current widget to see what's turning on and draining ur battery.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] googleye:
Okay, I'll run another log tonight. Too bad the log gets like ten times harder to read with that option.

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zero_ap:
u could see it urself aswell btw, in current widget, go to analyze log and select top processes, itll tell u what is draining sorted with the biggest power consumer. from ur earlier log standby should be at ~4ma and whatever is at the top is ur culprit. but post the results anyway just to be sure
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] googleye:
I can't find that option? Anyway tonight it was a mess: EDIT I somehow didn't see the update in my apps...

The top of the list reads: com.cyanogenmod.cmparts(what's this?); gentle alarm(gotta have this...) and audiowidget(I don't even have the widget on a homescreen)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zero_ap:
CMparts is cyanogen settings,

audiowidget is the audio manager app -https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget&hl=en

u need to remember that android has a memory management system which doesnt shut apps down immediately and only suspends them, it does this for quick recalls of a recently used app. when the phone needs more memory for a bigger app it then kills of the oldest recently used app, to free ram. you can use the task manager to kill apps off manually but not recommended since it may or may not destabilize android itself.

As for the battery drain, its actually very good, u lost 1% per hour with all of those apps running. The spikes that happens is just the phone syncing background data such as facebook, foldersync, etc as well as standby apps such as viber and go launcher activating from when you actually waking the phone up from suspend.

Google does use push sync, if this bothers you u can shut it off from Settings > Privacy > untick backup my settings - note that this will wipe backed up data and application history from google servers and not ur phone - doing this wont wipe calendar or contacts as that belongs to gmail.

if u actually notice on current widget during idle the phone sits between 1mA to 5mA. this is the expected range, now say if u open facebook it should spike up, on mine this spikes up to ~263mA for a while till it finishes downloading.

Wifi is another cause as well, since it usually disconnects after a certain period unless u specify the wifi to never standby, it will use up power to scan for the signal every so often and then reconnect.

Apart from that ur battery consumption is excellent. you can expect to use the phone regularly (browsing, calls, etc) w/o charging for a couple of days.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] googleye:
Thanks for an excellent reply. The thing is it usually lasted a full day and with around 30% left. Now I need to charge it around 9 or 10 so it's a couple of hours short. I use my phone alot, about an hour of music, constant wifi, games, Tapatalk, browsing and lots of texting. I was actually surprised it lasted as long as it did and even if my battery life is good now it was alot better before.

I have noticed that sometimes, say I've just exited and game with 80% left. After five minutes it can go down to 70%, don't know if my indicator is failing or my battery is crazy.

Btw wifi policy is set to never.

From reading the forum for several months now, I see that people have better battery life on other radios.

Where do I find a list of them and how to know which one is good?

From what I read is it true that if I flash an USA radio I will get crappy signal?

does anyone know for sure where apps are stored when we move it to sdcard?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] noobwithgalaxyy:
sd-ext partition..

if u need to have a look, get root explorer> /data/sdext2(similar)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] lyrel09:
just go to app 2 sd then go to sd card, if you want to move most of your app to sd card then you should download move2sd enabler(for root only). here is the link

app 2 sd pro: http: //www.4shared.com/file/LWfqfkKv/App_2_SD_Pro__233_.html

move2sd enabler: http://www.4shared.com/file/DnI91mzh/Move2SD_Enabler.html

(i create ext partition with linux)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] noobwithgalaxyy:
.android_secure contains files and references to all the apps on SDcard (I guess :p )

contents of data/sdext2 are hidden.. use root explorer if you can..
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] termagazis:
i used root explorer.i cant see the contains of data/ext2 but it say that there is used 10mb from 400+ that is whole space.but where are the others apps.all my apps are more than 180mb and i have moved them to sd.internal memory usage is 50-60mb.where are the others?maybe in sd card but not at ext partition?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] noobwithgalaxyy:
I am not sure but maybe the moveable were moved to SD main partition..

I am going to only post this once.

Xbox expert is known for taking other's work and then making people pay for it. He is currently charging 20$ for a root method that I released for free and he is also including warez within his script. His video on youtube is just showing a ripoff. My script does all the same stuff as his (it was around first so I'm a bit curious if he actually ripped it exactly) and infact, I know that he's from the nook color forums and ripped stuff before. Don't let yourselves be ripped off. My root method is the same, it's free, and it's not hard to figure out. Stop wasting 20$.

Actually i'm using the last CM7 (7.1.5 Kang) . I've already done a lot of tests but can't run these games.

Can anyone give me some advices or sugest a way to run these games?

Which value I may use in heap size? Overclock set? Use any APP (chainfire 3d, motomizer, blade body)? Any good rom?

Anyone could run these games on milestone? With which rom, heap size, overclock?

Tks

But with gb roms they don't run at all or not very smoothly

I read that for a port or custom rom to be made an OS has to be open source to be legal so i saw that the apple made all of his software open source so i think that some developers can try to port or the entire OS or parts of it,sorry if my post is a duplicate or so on ,the last post like this was 2 years ago..so developers you can play with the files and see if is a chance to make something with it :D

[Android General] GoSooners345:
Lol legal chicken again
[Android General] almafuerte:
It's not just about the source ...

OSX and IOS are based on BSD, which is Free Software, but not strong copyleft, meaning you can fork and close your source. Apple created Darwin, which is based on BSD, then used that as the basis for OSX and IOS. This is just the kernel and some basic utilities, the rest is closed source. The only sources published are for x86 and PPC, not the ARM port.

But Apple is a naughty, naughty company. I've tried to compile their sources more than once. Even when the sources are available, they are IMPOSSIBLE to compile. It's a typical workaround that companies use to steal Free Software. Oh, yes, here is the code: [Big blob of undocumented code with no makefile and no instructions]. You don't have their kitchen, you can't get it working.

But I do predict three things that will eventually happen:

a) As processing power increases in phones, someone will run IOS inside an emulator inside an Android phone

b) Someone will port Android to the iPhone hardware, but iPhone's release cycle and lack of drivers will make it unsuccessful and unstable.

c) Phone hardware will get progressively more generic, and we'll reach a point where we'll have OEM phones that are more or less generic, and we'll get the equivalent of the hackintosh.

Have you ever owned an iphone??

The only things in which it beats my xperia is battery life, sound quality and quality of construction and this only until it feel down once and now has a crack in its glass!

People always come with arguments like this, iphone is more snappy, snappy, snappy! THIS IS BULL!! Even my X10 is MUCH more snappier!

And better dev tools?? Android is light-years in front of ios when it comes to development and apps! Its the whole phylosophie of Android! When i started to mess around (hack/theme/costumize it in general etc) with my Iphone i was really dissapointed and suprised because i never would have thought that its OS was in such an infant state compared to Android! Things that are certain on Android aren't in iOS!

People this thing doesn't even have a back button!! You know how many apps i have come across and i couldn't go back inside the app because they didn't have a back button and i had to close the app entirely and restart it?? This SUCKS!!

So my dear friend, you who have started the thread, are you really sure that you want to have ios?? :D

If so, go get yourself an iPhone and since you already own an android you will notice the downgrade you have done in your life :D

Ooooh i forgot to mention iTUNES!! :D:D:D What a great invention!!:rolleyes:
