update is helpful
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaRsKiN:
Basically what it says in the title. I have a Desire HD with Android 2.3.5 installed, and I want to flash Cyanogenmod 7.1 (With google apps) to it. I've had a good look at all the resources available and I think I know what I need to do, I'm a little apprehensive though as I'm new to this so would somebody mind checking the resources I have found to see if I have the right steps?

First of all I've checked in About Phone -> Software Information and found that my Software Number is 3.12.405.1. So from what I've read this means I'll have to downgrade my firmware before I can root.

That lead me to this guide: Here

If I follow that guide carefully as well as this one here, I will end up with a phone that has firmware 1.32, is rooted, has Radio S-OFF and also has clockworkmod recovery installed.

From there, I can then follow this guide here to install the latest version of Cyanogenmod either using Recovery, or the ROM manager. Simple, right?

Does this sound about right? Or am I missing something incredibly obvious that will break my phone, or make life a lot easier?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Sounds good to me :P although you could try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952352

One click root and s-off once you follow everything and have the right setup to run the tool. Very easy and quick.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaRsKiN:
Thanks! That looks good, although I'm not very confident about this little warning.

Am I reading this correctly, following this method WILL degrade my bootloader performance? Or will that only happen if I perform the hack incorrectly?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
You are reading it wrong. What has happens especially with us inspire users(American dhd) is that if your phone was shipped with gb, installing the Eng bootloader(Eng soff) causes issues. Makes the phone take 15 min to boot. Its possible to fix but its a long pita. I only seen a couple people with dhd have this issue so and others not.

Regular soff is all you need, just you can't use fastboot to flash say radios, its done in a different way
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yvibes:
Yup exactly that
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurnerBR:
Just follow these his guide and video, works perfectly. www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-htc-desire-hd/

The only difference is that after instead of flashing the rom suggested you can flash cm 7.1 www.download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=ace

No risks no problems with bootloader.

I know most of us hate touchwiz but there are a couple of things samsung's done better than Google, what do you like more in touchwiz than stock ics?

1. The quick notification toggles, I know ics has a quick access to settings in the notifications but its not quite the same

2. I like more the way you place widgets in touchwiz launcher, it resembles honeycomb, I dont know why Google got rid of it in ics

3. You have spell corrections for more than one language at the same time without having to switch keyboards

That's pretty much it, touchwiz icons, colors, dialer, contacts are pretty much... horrible
[Galaxy S II General] xZeDgEx:
In my experience Touchwiz on my GS2 is faster and smoother than stock ICS on the Galaxy Nexus. Add a live wallpaper and its no competition, Nexus chokes and dies.
[Galaxy S II General] rayz0r:
Touchwiz is pretty underrated tbh.
[Galaxy S II General] gmfer:
I'm currently using resurrection ICS custom with stock (nova) UI and I have to say that I kind of miss TW. I also think that is underrated, actually is a very nice launcher
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
How did you come to the conclusion "most of us hate touchwiz" is it because someone started a thread on here,i would estimate many more like TW than hate it, i think TW is brilliant, ive tried every other launcher and always come back to TW as it is smoother than any of the rest of them
[Galaxy S II General] Drewsipher:
I would never buy a phone that I couldn't get to vanilla android the skins are ridiculous. I'm on a galaxy nexus using nova (installed through cwm for the extra features) and find the experience to be my favorite so far on android without having to rom my phone. Its snappy and clean. You like touchwiz more power to you but skins always feel to me like what they are: window dressing on the experience I want.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
I'll be gutted if Samsung ditch TW for the Galaxy S3 but i doubt they will they will just add some improvements and modifications,etc i have the TW 4G launcher with 5 docks on homescreen and it is fast and very smooth.
[Galaxy S II General] SiSL:
What Google try to do with ICS AOSP Launcher is to mimic TouchWiz features that we already had. (In the end, ICS launcher also was work cooperated with Samsung developers)

Seriously, people should get "another" Android 2.3 and see what TouchWiz bring... Even HTC sense feels really stoneage next to features of TouchWiz we don't realise until we loose them.
[Galaxy S II General] garekinokami:
I love the responsiveness and the overall appearance, but there is a lot of wasted space and opportunity with TW.
[Galaxy S II General] shyam2010:
Well...TW Launcher is purely Underated....if TW launcher can be modified a bit, it could be defenitely useful..i am using sensation ROM 2.0....TW launcher looks awsm in that!!
[Galaxy S II General] Suarez7:
****wiz is not bad either..i only recently made the leap to Go Launcher and loving that to be honest..But still Touchwiz is pretty smooth, has good options and a good launcher all round....
[Galaxy S II General] barondebxl:
Touchwiz 4.0 is the best launcher compared to motorola UI and sense 3.0 in my opinion. its not as heavy as sense and its a lot smoother than the motorola UI plus it has great features, its easy to use and works great. I love what they did when you long press the home screen to add widgets and wallpapers, i think it work really well. Sure sense is more eye candy but it eats every ressources that the phone has. So based on usability, smoothness and performance i think touchwiz 4.0 is king. If only htc would do a better job at optimizing it would probably number one. I do like stock ICS skin also, but again it isnt as smooth and well optimized as touchwiz is on the S2.
[Galaxy S II General] Chad_Petree:
Whats nova?

I hace read that exact sale thing so many times, the gs2 is faster than the galaxy nexus, but why? Ics is more optimized than gingerbread,maybe is because the exynos beats texas instruments?
[Galaxy S II General] bacardiandwatermelon:
There is only one thing that annoys me with touchwiz and that is you cant sort your apps alphabetically. Thank goodness there is an app called appzorter, pity its not working for ics yet. Well it wasnt the last time i looked al least.
[Galaxy S II General] DSF:
Touchwizz is NOT only the launcher.. It's the whole samsung UI elements and features (smart dial, quick toggles, media codecs, etc etc).

The problem with touchwizz is the style, general UI. Take for example the dialer: very ugly. Or the big toggle icons in notification area (they can remove text and make smaller buttons). And the general UI experience is simply poor (compare section headers and subsection headers from TW with ICS, buttons, sliders, lists and so on).

What I	want? TW with ICS flavour.

Eg: ICS dialer with smart dial, ICS contacs, ICS messeging, ICS launcher with fast page switching, media codecs, general UI elements from ICS (headers, buttons, sliders, list, etc), etc.

By switching the launchers doesn't solve the problem with touchwizz as many users write here as a solution to "get ride of TW".

Touchwizz is deeply integrated in Android framework and apps.
[Galaxy S II General] nono83:
IMHO Touchwiz is very cool for peoples who don't want many extra settings or customisations. He's also very colorfull and simple to use.

After that, I must say that ICS stock launcher seems little "cold" in the other side. I mean, it's all Blue and White and the default ICS wallpaper are little too "cold" too, but it's surely the "ICS" touch.:cool:

The tastes and colours are in the nature, in term of performances TW is not so bad, it's just miss a little more features like customisation, etc...
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
If samsung removed their swipe grid-icons in the application drawer, then more people would love touchwiz.

... Im sure this is the reason why some people don't like it.

I like touchwiz, but I must admit - I'd love it to have a vertical application drawer with 3D roller effect as default.
[Galaxy S II General] milan188:
Vertumus ICS theme makes touchwiz and the Samsung UI look very nice
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
So many people just don't get it. Or maybe refuse to understand.

You could sky write this and people would still not get it.
[Galaxy S II General] Kailkti:
That holds true for any OS/Software. The software/OS is judged mainly based on the UI/look, not on the functionality or efficiency.
[Galaxy S II General] khans98:
Touchwizz is really nice but they needed to change it more in ics i think to make it look as good as the stock ics
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
I can understand that Samsung don't want to throw a heap of resources at the look of it yet with so many other bugs to iron out.

Could go either way I guess (after the code is bug "free")

Its not very hard to update the graphics later but they might also want to limit the learning curve for existing users and keep the look and feel similar to existing firmware.

One little giveaway I've found is the green buttons like used for Bluetooth on/off instead of the nice ics blue ones. Says to me it's not going to be ics blue anywhere but that's only a guess.
[Galaxy S II General] Markbaja:
Touchwiz is the reason I bought a Samsung. I looked at all the other phones, wasn't to concerned about cpu ram etc, but wanted something nice to use, and be somewhat latest tech. It's awesome to use, and prefer it over stock gingerbread, as my mate has a nexus and don't think it's as nice to use.
[Galaxy S II General] Rollies77:
TW4 integrates seamlessly with Gingerbread. I'm hoping Samsung will launch TW5 that blends nicely with ICS' Holo theme when they release ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] Chad_Petree:
Exactly my thoughts, touchwiz is so much more than the dialer, they redesigned (and ****ed up for the most part ) basically the whole UI, the only things left from stock Android are the google apps: Gmail , gtalk ...
[Galaxy S II General] ong.andrew:
Touchwiz can support MTP and USB mass storage! Anyone with a Honeycomb or ICS with MTP only will tell you horror stories of their attempts to transfer files over USB!
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:
As mentioned before Touchwiz is not only a launcher its the whole user interface on Samsung phones, an overlay on top of aosp android, like sense, like blur.

What I like are the simple things, slide left or right on a contact, the battery draining email app, drains battery like anything on exchange but the best free version better than aosp as it has search, and little things like out of office settings, media hw acceleration (not sure now ICS fares with this), better camera quality (subjective).

Along those lines, now if Samsung can just make Touchwiz ICS blue on the next version that would be great. I don't use Touchwiz launcher so that part is no issue to me.
[Galaxy S II General] s2d4:
How about learn to use it?

Its so easy on my Mac that as soon as I plug the USB in, it pops up with all the folder contents immediately over mtp. The speed is so much faster and it doesn't leave crappy osx hidden files on my SD.

I think its a good move, clowns will not be able to corrupt their sdcard due to mounting/unmounting problems.
[Galaxy S II General] s2d4:
Function over form first..

If looks is all you are after, look for the mess inside the android development section.

Themed roms based on alpha leaks, right up your alley.
[Galaxy S II General] dcviana:
I have just three complaints about TWZ 4

* The default page for home screen is always the first, I like to enable an odd number of pages and leave the middle to be the default, don't know why TWZ does that differently (unless I'm missing something here).

* The icons are terrible. Really hope they change them in ICS to be more like the AOSP ones, current icons looks like they belong to a childs device.

* In my version (Galaxy SII) there are some bugs, like the dock icons vanish after I unmount and remount the SD card. The strange thing is that none of the dock icons are from apps installed in SD card.

The rest is just wonders, Google could learn a lesson or two from TWZ. Just one example, why in the heavens after I call someone or lose a call does stock Android goes straight to the home screen? TWZ is MUCH better in allowing you to recall the person you just called, send them an SMS and such.
[Galaxy S II General] Kannan.Balasubramanian:
I have tried couple of launchers. But I always come back to TW.

TW is simple and looks good.

I wish TW has themes where we can customize the colours.
[Galaxy S II General] themadba:
I believe that Samsung should allow their users to choose between the pure, untouched ICS and then the TW launcher ICS.

I know which one I would choose...
[Galaxy S II General] biffsmash:
ICS stock launcher is gorgeous, but if it runs as badly on the SGS2 as it does on the Nexus, god help us if sammy ditch TW lol.

I would miss brightnes controls and toggles on status bar without TW, and Smart Dialing, which are all missing in stock ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] Chad_Petree:
Brightness control? From the notification bar? I've been running aosp ics for quite a bit so I forgot :/
[Galaxy S II General] themadba:
I keep hearing the mention of aosp... Can someone briefly explain it to me?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Nexu$:
TouchWiz needs ONLY ONE change: a toggle on/off switch. No other changes needed.

[Galaxy S II General] kinglion86:
I prefer ICS launcher, cause Touchwiz is too heavy, and u can't even sort the apps, only use AOSP launcher, and install some tweaks like jkay..
[Galaxy S II General] MiG123:
hardware(gpu) accelerated playback of practically any video format up to 1080p res. something vanilla android for some reason will never have.
[Galaxy S II General] Kailkti:
No no no, I am speaking on a computer science related fact/notion, not what the rational idea should be. Consumers/masses/populace will judge your software mainly based on the looks/UI.

Is there software that can track your movements and make a hotzone map of it? So you know which area you cover the most? I think such tools are handy when you are on dating sites and you want to know if a certain town may lie in a certain path of you

Is it a big detour, etc

Eg example in Belgium

I live in Tienen

I go to School in Hasselt

A nice girl lives in Brussels --> Tienen lies in between of Hasselt and Brussels. So Brussels is generally a bad idea if you want to see her after school.

A other nice girl lives in Beringen. Which is slightly on the way to Hasselt. So that's a more optimal choice.

This is just a stupid example of what I can do with it... But I wonder if such software exists.

Can someone help me?

P.S. Already tried Jikantaru's and is not working form me.

I tried porting it to 2.3.5. it functions but there are some text parts with activity and also gps flash with charging icon. lol. backup your systemui.apk before flashing or testing.

edit: theres also an app in market search for it "quick settings".
[HTC Wildfire S] efl2009:

I've tried it with Marvelous Rom but it didn't work. Statusbar had disappeared after the flash.

Thank you any way. I liked very much Advanced Power Menu mod.

Any advice what to do next?

If you do not use 3g and internet. Try use only 2g signal and edge speed. I heard that's working.
[LG Optimus 3D] beatles1312:
The "Ghost Calls" also appears with 2G only! I think it's an bug in the Baseband! That's the reason why i flashed back to Froyo... On Froyo i never noticed any Ghost call or another Phone bug!
[LG Optimus 3D] raskall:
What do you mean with ghost calls? I have experienced that communication freezes completely and only a boot can get it going. With 3G turned off it never happens. After switching off 3G people has stopped complaining about me not answering the phone when they call me.
[LG Optimus 3D] beatles1312:
The O3D is in 2G only mode & everybody that try to call me hears the dial tone but my phone is not ringing.

On 3G/2G auto mode it's the same! The issue is not on every call. Only sometimes.

The next bug with GB is, that the phone don't find the radio signal after a garage etc. without connection. After an reboot everything is fine & the radio signal is ok!

The mobile Internet connection is also not working well! I have full radio signal & HSDPA but the internet is not working! Again reboot & all works well...

With Froyo everything is ok & i have no problems with the Phone function!

I have also tried V21B but i get the same problems on some calls...

Now i'm trying the new V20B! I really hope that LG have fix it! Battery Monitor is still broken... On all GB ROM's from LG :rolleyes:

I have the same problem, ghost calls, right now my phone is in service, I'm curious if they solve the problem and by what method.

There is an 8 pages long thread about this problem here:

The issue is happening less often when you use 2G only mode but the problem is still there. Also on my device the loss of connectivity doesn't occur only on 3G & mobile data but also with the WiFi.

When I activate the airplane mode and then I switch back, the WiFi fails to reconnect and only after rebooting the problem is solved.

Does anyone have the same issue?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattkroeder:
Aside from the initial setup during the first boot of a clean rom install, is there a way in any ICS rom to force a Google settings restore?

By that I mean settings like wifi passwords and app settings, etc. Sure, theres Titanium backup but many times devs have said not to restore system settings this way.

Honestly, the only thing I really need it for is to restore wifi settings. I have a pretty long passphrase and being a bit of a crack flasher, it gets annoying to retype it over and over again :D

Yesterday I installed CM7, I did everything according to the tutorials, I am running kernel 2.3.4. This morning I was recording a video of my daughter, but suddenly the camera forced closed and I was unable to access the camera, so I restarted my phone. Unfortunately my phone got stuck on a boot loop, so I tried wipe data/factory reset. Now my phone is stuck on the motorola logo and I don't know what else to do.

I tried applying update from sdcard but signature verification fails.
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
It sounds like you are going to have to sbf. That's the only downside to beta testing. Unexpected things might happen. Signature verification failed because when using stock recovery, the update.zip needs to be signed by moto.
