Hey!

Just wondering what ROM people uses and why? Im on The transparent Rom by TEAM now and love it but i see its long time since the last update. I run also Doomkernel. Just got my x10i, went from a x10 mini pro. Much better phone the x10i !

trying again since the first one was closed (?)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miper82:
Iam using feralab v7.2 and i love it because it is so fast and stabile. No lagg at all!

Thats why i use it :-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattyOnXperiaX10:
It depends what you're looking for.

Wolfbreak if your just a basic average user.

If your an addict that loves full.customization, gaming and constant ROM updates based on ROM updates Feralabs ROM.

But then you got Thjaps ROM, Vmcms, rlly you should try them all before you come to a.conclusion.

Xperia x10(Feralabs Rom) After trying all roms it was my Fav.

Now on the RAZR.

I see you Drinking that ¥Hateraid¥
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monitorix:
Whatever you may use, either of the ROMs have their own qualities and defects. But one thing I have noticed: when using Rom Mannager app the battery gets emptied quicker. The difference might be of 2-3hours/day. I have tried this on my Galaxy Note and my Galaxy S2 and as well on my Galaxy S using diferent ROMs and experimental mofdified OS.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bretto_aus:
In my own opinion, after trying pretty much all of them, i find FeraLab ROM to be the best for me :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diaa_khalouf:
hello guys

i am new to the android world and i am having alot of fun using it

its simply amazing and i decided to go further with new roms

i started by rooting my SGS and i had alot of features after that

i saw ics and am disperate to install it but am afraid

the point is i don't have any experience in android or programming

so plz answer my questions:

1-can i pack up the stock os from my mobile in order to return back to it in case anything goes wrong?

2-what is the difference between kernel and ios?

3-can anything wrong in flashing a new rom cause device hardware mulfunction?

thank u in advance hope someone answer me ASAP

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lim_kobe2005:
1- you can revert back to your stock OS by doing the nandroid backup before flash to other custom rom.

2- kernel and iOS is totally different things. iOS is an OS use by Apple. Kernel is a core that provides basic services all others parts in operating system. OS is a set of program that manage computer hardware and provides services for application software.

3- You must bare your own risk to flash your phone coz bad thing may happen. But if you follow the instructions properly, it won't have any problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diaa_khalouf:
thx very much but i didnt mean ios from apple i ment the difference between a kernel and a rom

and for the nandroid backup is it a software? does it have anything to do with titanium backup?

thx again
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyder_pirate:
my understanding of nandroid backup is it sits on the recovery menu. it is found on most custom kernel here on xda. it backup your entire phone except those files found on sdcard. titanium is mostly for apps :)

if you want to try another rom, it is best you use nandroid, just in case you want to revert back :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SturmTyrann:
Nand backup is accessible using the recovery menu. but from what i can tell some recovery's wont accept backups made using different recovery's. it is a direct copy of the memory stored there. unlike titanium that backs up the .apks and what not.

roms contain kernels and modems and the android operating system. but there are kernels that you can use that are not stock and can be installed/flashed using the same method in the recovery menu. they are interchangeable as long as its compatible with the rom. same i believe goes for modems. usually if you search the forums, any Samsung based kernel will go with any Samsung based ROM. same goes for asop/CM7 i believe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csetera:
I see that Target is currently offering this phone for $80 with contract extension. Are there any advantages or disadvantages to buying via Target? Will it cause any problems with warranty coverage or anything else?

Thanks for insights,

Craig
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
I can't see any problem with them. Just like purchasing from WM, Costco, or Amazon.

I'm really surprise that the price hasn't been dropping to $50 range.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] getbuzzin:
The only thing is that you might have to pay full retail tax. Definitely should ask.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csetera:
Thanks everyone! Will likely pick one up tomorrow. If I wanted to buy a decent case, where am I likely to find one in person (as opposed to internet)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rg400smarttowel:
Wow this phone is really dropping in price. I still remember when I first got it for 200 dollars.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rockliveson123:
Costco. 80 bucks. Tax on 199.99
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] josh84:
I bought mine from Target back in December.. Was able to get a price adjustment after the phone dropped $50 the following week, so hold on to your receipt till it expires.

They also offer a good insurance program that's $15 down, and covers 2 months off the bat, then is $7.99 every month after that, It also gives you a free battery every year.

You have to keep up with your bill payments and can not use another phone for 3 months or you'll get charged full retail for the phone. Campare this to Wirefly's 6 months (when I got my old Aria over a year and a half ago), and it's actually pretty lenient.

Bonus fun fact: Target Mobile is actually owned and operated by Radio Shack.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BuddhaMunx:
Not sure if this matters, but I purchased my GSII from Target and took out the insurance through AT&T a couple days after I got the phone I broke the screen, did my claim all went fine, when my 30 days was coming near I was thinking that I wanted to return the phone and wait for another phone. Since I filed a insurance claim and got a new phone, the numbers changed, so the return was not possible. Just wanted to let you know, I know the odds of what happened to me would be pretty low, but just something to think about =D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fldude99:
Got mine from Target a couple weeks ago..no problem. Never heard of that 3 month rule stated in post 7. I call BS on that. Technically you can sell that new sgs2 and put your sim in any device you want without them upcharging for getting the sgs2 on an upgrade price.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] josh84:
I'd "read" the receipt that target provided you with before you go and do that, sport.

"If the device and it's wireless service are not continuously in service for 90 days after the original purchase date and the device is not returned to the retailer, I agree that the retailer may charge my credit card an unreturned merchandise fee equal to the device's non activated price minus the activated price I paid. "

It's a contract you have with target mobile.

I wouldn't go around suggesting things that could cause people to owe a lot of money just because you hadn't "heard" of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fldude99:
Doesn't say that on my receipt....."sport".. Get my drift? You bought the device..you own the device..you can even sell the damn thing without opening the box. Nobody can force you to use your sim card in it. Gimme a break.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rockliveson123:
I work for a wireless retailer. And authorized dealers have strict policies. Most only Get paid if you retain your contract with its features you signed up for, for 180 days (such as Wirefly and amazon!) Costco doesn't, neither does best buy. But target must have another way around it. I would be careful because wirefly and amazon have it in the fine print that they will charge you full retail if you change things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] josh84:
Unless you sign a contract stating otherwise...

Make sure you're reading ALL of the white and black thermal paper receipt that the rep gave you, that's your contract with target mobile, not the one with AT&T letter head.

If you bought it online, I don't know what you tell you, other than read everything that was sent to you, even seemingly unimportant fliers. Wirefly had their stipulation typed on a cheaply printed, thin piece of yellow paper that I almost threw away.

I guess the moral of this story, is for everyone to be aware that when you buy a contract phone through a 3rd party retailer, you're signing contracts with two parties;the carrier for the service, and a limited one with the retailer for the phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lflowersc:
I hate to bother the people here but you all are my last chance at fixing this problem or at least hopefully getting advice on how to make Sprint fix it.

About 2 weeks ago there was a major service outage in my area. Internet went down first followed by phone and text service about 3 hours later. The outage started at around midnight and lasted till around noon. Almost every night since then I have been loosing data signal between midnight and 2 am. When it does start to come back on the signal is terrible. The outage lasts between 30 minutes and 3 hours and the slow service afterward usually lasts for another 15 to 20 minutes. Today I had internet drop around 11 am. I have called Sprint 5 times. So far I have been told to reset every possible thing you can reset on my phone and none of that has helped. Now they are saying that I live in a "Signal May Vary" area and that it is not their problem. This issue is happening with all Sprint phones in this area. I work for an ambulance service and happen to be around alot of other people with Sprint. So far we have 3 Epic 4g's and an Epic 4g Touch that are all experiencing this issue. Two of the Epic's are running CM9 Alpha 3 and the other is stock. The Epic Touch is running stock (but rooted) EL29. Normal download speed for us on 3g is 1.0 to 1.75 mbps as determined by the Speedtest.net app.

Any help you guys can provide would be GREATLY appreciated.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LORDFIRE00:
have you updated your prl 2x and profile 2x? tell them to reset your profile on their end. when you do this, you need to have the phone totally off. after they reset your profile, you turn your phone back on, and update prl and profile 2x.. make sure your battery is fully charged.

all your services are in a "switch glitch loop". but once you do this.. you should be ok.. you have to be patient though. after updating it will take about 5 mins for full speed to kick in with the tower and your phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lflowersc:
I haven't done all of those in that exact order but they have all been done over multiple calls. I will try them though if I can get sprint to understand that they need to reset the profile.

And also would this be likely to happen to multiple phone all at once? Or is this just a really freaky coincidence?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LORDFIRE00:
just tell them that you need them to reset your "profile from they're end". if they say they can't do it.. tell them you want to talk directly to advanced tech support. "DO NOT, DO NOT" tell them you are rooted.. even if they ask.. do not admit to it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BlackMarvel369:
Hi guys,

I've lurked here ever since I got my Desire HD 18 months ago and this is the first time I haven't been able to find a solution to a problem. :(

I received my Prime today with no flaws, it worked great out of the box with the wifi at my mums house so obviously I was pretty happy!

Unfortunately as soon as I arrived home a (relatively minor) problem surfaced; my Prime can see most of the networks around my house except my one! It's a Belkin wireless N router set to N/G/B though when I change it to exclusively G I still get nothing.

If anyone has had this problem and found a fix (or is just better with this than I am and can help anyway!) I would really appreciate the help!

Thanks in advance,

N
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dilligaf:
If you are not broadcasting your SSID, manually enter it using Add Network.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
I also have a Belkin router... N600. What model do you have?

The Prime does not support 5 Ghz bands. 802.11n is supported but only on 2.4 Ghz band. FYI I as well as other Prime owners have reported more consistent speeds on strict 802.11g.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BlackMarvel369:
Thanks for the help guys, I have in fact found the solution after some tinkering. I changed the routers channel and suddenly it popped up! Not a clue why this worked (as I had already tried this previously) but I'm not complaining!
[General Questions and Answers] busaboss:
im now using s2e and all is fine at start i got 176mb free on my internal but as i install my apps from sd sometimes there is a decrease in internal memory? i still didnt use the apps so it still doesnt have data, i dont understand why do my memory decreases too now its only 135mb. any solution?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
This only happens when I'm trying to type a text message or play a game that requires the use of a touch pad (like zenonia 3 and 4). The touch screen just refuses to respond properly and is causing me to be annoyed. Anyone know how to resolve this issue so I don't have to go back to Verizon and get a replacement?

NOTE: I've already tried to pull out the battery, format the phone, and the sd card. None of them worked.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
Are you rooted?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
Yeah, but even when it wasn't rooted, my phone did this.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
On aosp roms I had the same issue.. just randomly would not respond. My soft keys would still and anything but the keyboard.. I don't know why. What I would do is turn my screen off and back on and it would start normal again.. then I just went back to sense and no issues
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
Ok, then I think it's probably an issue with the digitizer. I would take it to Verizon and see if you can get a replacement.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
I was afraid you would probably say that, but I'm probably gonna do that around march or april. Unrooting my phone is gonna be a pain and redoing the process over, but I have little choice in the matter. Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jm5503:
Looks great....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bully4x4:
Good job looks great, keep up the good work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MisterTedster:
Very nice! Any plans for a locked version?
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Looks great i ran it last night and ran good no problems
[Motorola Photon 4G] bpcivicsi:
I WANT THIS NOW.
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
if i can get help figuring out i will make versions for locked photons and electrifies and thats a big if on the IF i can figure it out

thanks so much ed for all your help
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Looks very nice...gonna have to give it a spin once the link's ready
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrtduke:
The shadow is back baby!!! Looks good bro!
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
haha what up duke hells yeah baby this is only the beginning son
[Motorola Photon 4G] dave0812:
Will this work on electrify???
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
no photon unlocked only for now
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Is link ready? I'm looking forward to checkin this ROM out..:)

EDIT: Nevermind the dumb question...I see its up...lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
yeah buddy ready for download guys have fun and remember is my first rom and i want all feedback good bad horrible have no mercy only way im going to ge tbetter is by straight forward answers

Thanks

Also will be looking into an easier method of installing seems like allot of crap to go through to flash so will be looking into that immediately
[Motorola Photon 4G] pbedard:
Link is dead
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
how are you trying to download it via computer or phone I'm using shadow and xda premium app and it downloaded just fine for me slow but still downloaded

also downloads fine from computer much faster that way id add

file was just recently uploaded try exiting your browser and trying again

Sent from a sh@dow in the night
[Motorola Photon 4G] bpcivicsi:
Grrr its not letting me download directly on my phone -__-. Guess I'll have to do it the old fashioned way.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Worked perfectly with Dolphin...
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
considering the size of the download i would say would be more time efficient to dl it from your computer or a stable connection (unfortunately not wifi) 479 aint no punk is a huge file sorry for the size but with all thats in it its worth it
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Maybe put up a version without webtop. I already have it installed from using the Imperium rom. And thanks for the rom. The more options the better, and it's great to see someone willing to put the time in to learn how to do this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Gonna have to check this out another day...have wrong version of cwm (forgot I flashed Joker's version for the cm9)...doh!
[Motorola Photon 4G] bpcivicsi:
Well I was able to download the Imperium rom on my phone, and its about the same size. It only took about 5 minutes to download.
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
yeah was worried about the file size thoughtit might ward some away from trying it out but i figured some folks who have been timid to try lokis webtop could flash this and give it a whirl with ease as well as picking up a fully modded slick designed rom

this is my first attempt at rom making and i mean literally first ive made a themed rom for the heroc awhile back but it didnt come out right this is still very much a learning process and as long as someone around here is willing to point we will be alright cause ill be with the photon group for a while completely sold on this phone
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
you can try flashing with jokers version would be good to know if it worked with it could add it to the op but if you dont want to be a test subject i totally understand
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
I got error 6 when trying to flash.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mujju85:
i m not able to install its giving me error like

E:error in /sdcard/sh@dow-1.zip

(status 6)
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
Think i botched the upload going to remove the link. Until i get it reuped somehow i uoloaded the wrong damn file. Sucks so sorry guys. I do hope you made a backup will have it fixed as soon as i get home from work. Once again so sorry
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Nope...that's what I'm on...joker's cwm...didn't flash it :(

EDIT: Looks like it may have been the rom? I'll have to give it a shot once you have the link fixed...let me know and I'll test it with joker's cwm.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bpcivicsi:
Installation is aborted. CWM 5.0.2.7 Error Status 6.

EDIT: Just realized you took it down due to wrong file ^_^
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
Already figured out what went wrong i uploaded file i was working on not the finished product found the correct file forgot to change names of zips so i could recognize which file to upload will upload proper file and update link before i go to work in the morning sorry guys. Thanks a bunch for pointing it out
[Motorola Photon 4G] pbedard:
This rom dont flash it has a borked noot img
[Motorola Photon 4G] mujju85:
How much time it will take to resolve this issue
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
already resolved new link posted

However stupid dropbox giving.504 error due to high traffic...........irritating...... will find a new place to upload to when i get off hopefully as day goes on they will lift the restriction
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I just woke up, saw link up, was all ready to dl, and DOH! Oh well...I know everyone's looking to test out your work. Looks like a very ambitious rom :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
Yeah going to have to find a new place to upload to sucks so used to just using dropbox not sure where to start looking guess maybe that dev.org site im not sure yet will have it digured out soon hoping that they will lift the restriction doubtful but hopefully

Got it uploaded to Devhost.org should be good to go let me know if any more problems please thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] mulhiny:
Excellent!! I've been dying to give this a go since you posted last night. Thanks for the effort! I'll flash in a bit and give you some feedback.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Downloading now...I'll flash and give feedback as well. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
i know its early to be talking about an update already but im going to do it anyways am working on changing balltounges mashup mod for the droidx2 to work on our phones. a while back i got him to send me a test zip partially modded for our phones well ive been chaging a few things in it to make it work on our phones mostly cause he made it for 198_6 and i was on a stock locked rooted rom as well when i sent him my build prop and changing some of it so it doesnt change some of the mods already built into the rom ....also will have a better updater script added for better/easier install. give it time and it will get even better...... just something to keep an eye out for
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Finally installed....had to wait for battery to charge enough to back up my cm9 and flash...

Nice boot animation...good first impression :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] stonesaber:
So far I'm diggin it. The only complaint I have so far is the black on black notifications. Other than that, initially it's smooth and I really like the theme. Thanks much. We can definitely use more ROMS to choose from. Good work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
Thats the shadow effect....lol pull down bar press finger on the notification and hold it for a sec you will be able to read it and when you first receive the notification It will flash blue in status bar
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
One thing I must say...I've never had 4G even TRY to scan on any unlocked Rom...just errors out when I try to activate the 4G....not sure if you may have used something that might be of use for cracking the whole 4G thing...
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
LOL its weird like that on my end also has Mac address will scan can uncheck it in settings and recheck it as much as you want but never connects looks good too if you are trying to hide the fact you are unlocked...haha
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
LOL! I just was surprised that it didn't immediately error and uncheck the box...
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
I just flashed the modified mash prop and installed rebooted and shows the changes am going to run it for a day or two see if it helps or hinders so far so good not sure if it will need to be something I can incorporate into ROM or something that will need to be flashed after getting settled in
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
So far:

Good:

1) Love the theme...great font. As said before...black on black was a bit confusing at first...LOL

2) Light in resources...using 2/3 of what CM9 had been on my system...one of the lighter ones out there

3) Smooth transitions. Like the choices of 2 different launchers (have always liked LP)

So-So

1) Data speeds...fair...then again, my house isn't in best area for data speed reliability...I'll have to check them at my work...MUCH better signal there

2) Benchmarks a little slower...not a huge deal, as phone is still very snappy

3) Would prefer a root-access file manager

Eh...

1) Sprint stuff included

One glitch I've noticed so far...when you are in the app drawer and turn it landscape all the apps stack in the upper left corner and the rest of screen is black (save for the button to return to home screen). Not sure what causes that...

I'm still intrigued by the fact that it even says it's trying to scan for 4G....
[Motorola Photon 4G] bpcivicsi:
You don't understand how badly i've wanted to try this rom out.
