This can be a solution. The only problem I see is keeping the latest version of a rom. Since lots of people may not be able to read posts it can be a lot of work for the devs to keep their opening posts updated with the latest sources.

This may not be such a big problem here in the DS forum since we are not so many (sadly the DS is not one of HTCs bestsellers) - but imagine the bashing if some don't read the latest torrent written two posts before.

Nevertheless, torrents can help, but I agree only for popular roms.
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
Agree completely, but yes, we need seeders....

Also the attitude of the people out here, if you download, seed it back!!!!
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
My main concern is speed, has to be at least 100kb/s, thus seeders are going to be a concern.
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Thanks for all the replys, ok then so what ROM's do you think we should do to start with?
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
Definitely primo and ice cold sandwich

Swyped from my HTC Desire S....
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
I agree this is a good idea but unless someone has a seedbox which can seed round the clock 24/7 I can't see it working because most people won't seed back thus another dead torrent.
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Well I have created the page in the dev section with the links here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1559247

And my laptop for all new torrents will be running at least solidly for a good few days, I do only have about 150kb/s upload so it will not be amazing fast to start with but will add new torrents once people have download the others etc.

SEED men SEED!!!
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
@zacthespack

What would also be awesome if it can also be uploaded to Usenet.

Also it must be a split file with par2 files.
[HTC Desire S] RolF2:
I have dedicated seedbox and 100 Mbit FTH line. Will look at this later if there is a need.

R.
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Once my seedbox sorts itself out mine will be used for this to, over the day I have had quite a few hits so it looks like people really are interested.

More seedboxs the better, check out the dev thread on it for the torrents running at the mo, once my seedbox is working I shall do many many more :D
[HTC Desire S] pgp23030:
Torrents might be a good idea for the latest ROMs but the older (maybe more stable once) will have lower seeds IMHO.

Anyway, my laptop (office equipment) dsnt allow me to use torrents on any network.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Personally I wouldn't. I DL ROMs directly from my phone, and I don't know how to use torrents on my PC anyway :p

I don't mind if the dev includes a torrent, as long as they include a regular DL aswell.
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Well yes I think the devs should still give a normal link, but so many complain of slow downloads etc a torrent option would give them something else to use :)

(plus it is very easy to use torrents and there are torrent clients for android even)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah man, don't get me wrong, your idea is great! I'm not trying to put you down or anything. I appreciate the effort you are putting into this 'project' :)

It's just my personal preference, I'd prefer to DL normal, regular zips :)
[HTC Desire S] rd74:
It's a good idea with torrents.

I've already used torrents provided CM mirror network for sharing.
[HTC Desire S] nuts engineer:
I don't get it. What would be the advantage of torrents?
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
@nuts engineer

Assuming we would be downloading from a filehost (free)

Where to start?

1) Can pause a torrent

2) Zero waiting time to start download

3) Little to no chance of corrupted file

4) If corrupted only need the file blocks that are damaged

5) Unaffected by timeouts

6) Can seed the file to others (I see it as a +)

7) Could be faster than a free filehost download

Okay thats all O can think of right now.

I would still prefer usenet mirrors though.
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
What he said :P

And once I have all the torrents sorted will look to do usenet, just never really used it myself
[HTC Desire S] nuts engineer:
Thanks for that explanation!

But now I get a clue why I was wondering about any advantages. With my DSL 2000 you can possibly throw out half of the points, as my connection is at least stable.

But now I get a point for your view :)
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Its important to remember its not just your line that has to be stable, the server needs to be stable to, and some free file sharing sites I have found will just drop every now and then or be really slow (I am in the process of downloading stuck rom's to torrent and getting like 40kb/s :/ this makes me sad when I should get 1000MB/s
[HTC Desire S] fonpacific:
I'd definitely use torrent protocol!

#edit, add on #

You could also use sites for sharing torrents, you know what I mean, no need to write the URLs.
[HTC Desire S] shallumabijah:
good news about torrent downloads.. :)
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
I was thinking about this, but tbh I would rather just maintain a thread in the forums

You all may have noticed my thread in the dev forum has been made sticky, torrents are here to stay ;)
[HTC Desire S] jack15381:
Yes, for example primo-s ver 3.0 download link not available in my country, but i download it via torrent.

Thank for torrent link making & cheer up
[HTC Desire S] lhn1989:
I'd like to use torrent
[HTC Desire S] 04kiran:
Yes... Me too..
[HTC Desire S] walphy:
I'll be glad to use torrents! They're usually faster than filesharing sites :D Even Cyanogenmod used torrents to distribute the recent CM7.2 RC release.

Although, like good Linux distros, it'll be nice if we provide MD5/SHA hashes too, to verify download integrity/authenticity. I know ZIP has file integrity checks, but this should give added peace of mind to those who are more paranoid about BT downloading ;)

What do you think, zacthespack? I can help out with the hashing. We can add original filehashes to your thread. It'll be nice if we could get file hashes straight from the ROM cookers whenever they do a release.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Can anyone recommend a good torrent application for android? I know there are some, but I have no idea if they are good and safe to use or not. Thanks

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] walphy:
I've tried out both tTorrent and aTorrent. They both come in free-with-ads versions, with paid upgrades available. The free version of tTorrent has a DL speed limit, while aTorrent free has pre-set ports that you can't change. They mostly have the same features and functionality, but I somewhat prefer tTorrent over aTorrent. aTorrent seems to be lighter on the resources, though.

One thing I wasn't able to do is check which ad networks these two serve. I dunno how good the paid versions are, as I prefer my downloads served on a real PC. :p
[HTC Desire S] darkrainx2:
That's a great idea!great job getting roms via torrents!it's way faster and it supports resuming!! So I do use torrents to download roms!
[HTC Desire S] draftboy25:
Yes I would.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mrettercap:
Hi there!

My girlfriend just bought a T989 and we're having a horrible time with it so far.

We flashed Juggernaut ROM on it because the stock battery life was completely ridiculous (I'm talking losing 80% in 3 hours ridiculous, with the screen off and no apps running apart from the basic ones).

Ever since we flashed Jugs, though, the phone just keeps dying every so often, although usually when she's in a skype call. The screen will turn off, and the phone won't turn back on unless you pull the battery. If you try to plug it in to charge, it just vibrates weakly.

What the hell is going on -- can anyone shed any light? Is it a ROM issue or a phone issue? Should we send it back to Samsung/T-Mobile?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peppersu812:
When you installed the ROM did you do a compete wipe?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mrettercap:
Yes we did, and we cleared the cache and dalvik-cache.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peppersu812:
re re

try a different rom or reflash it :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

it could be the battery you can call t-mobile and just tell them your phone is getting hot and they will send you a new one free lol :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobby3306:
Had this problem with my first gs2 still stock...would also over heat allot...had get a replacement...id suggest doing the same
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
It's an undervolting issue. Juggernaut has a pretty aggressive undervolting and not all phones can handle it. You don't need a replacement or a new ROM, just download system tuner from market and up your voltage settings by 1 or 2 steps (12.5mV per step). A lot of random reboots are due to undervolting too much and are simple to fix but devilishly hard to identify if you're never encountered it before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MariuszS1985:
I am having similar issue with mine. i have stock rom running. and here is the thing. it happens to me about twice a week. It will turn off, in order for me to power it back on i need to pull the battery. it will come on and then turn off again. and i need to pull the battery again. after the second attept it will finally come on! I did a clean install twice and still has not resolved that issue!

Maybe its a hardware issue? i got that phone 2 months ago will t-mobile replace it for free? i have the 7.99 a month insurance!

thanks in advance

[Galaxy S II General] krazykat:
I know this seems like a question - but i just read on Engadget that NODO-GT was able to modify the camera to shoot 20mb and 0 compression.

I know the Galaxy SII has an 8 mp. But is it modifiable to reduce compression as well?

Hmmmmm. could be.

there's many hidden features in stock framework are not implemented.

video recording pause for example.
[Galaxy S II General] override182:
HTC stock camera contains a lot of conpression due to HTC Sense camera enhancement mode. Thats why disabling it to total zero would give out the best RAW image out of it so you can alter the pic yourself without the dirty software auto correction

Im not sure bout SGS2, seems like not many devs are interested in the camera part for SGS2. They keen towards audio more but not much progress has been made throughout the year
[Galaxy S II General] krazykat:
True - thought I think be devs - you mean Supercurio. I'm not really aware of anyone else.

I saw one Dev that did camera but for video recording (and sound). It would really be great to be able to fine-tune the camera for better quality and performance!

[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
so i need a case my phone. ive been looking for a case that will make it near invincible and have narrowed my choices to to the Otterbox Defender and the Trident Elektra. the defender is thinner but the elektra offers the ginormous battery which i feel may be necessarily since i cant even go from 6:30 am to 3:00pm without juice defender on its highest settings :/ any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
Trident, its a win win, the Electra is just a kraken modified for the super battery. If you want indestructible and long power trident is the best

from my X2 roaming the north
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Despite my dislike of Trident's bulky design, I will concede that they are stronger than all hell. I recently picked up an Otterbox and it is everything I hoped it would be; nice sleek, minimal design. There are a couple flaws but overall, I enjoy it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Skelente:
I concur with this statement. I recently (accidently) left my phone on top of my car in it's Elektra case and it fell off going around 35-40 mph. All it had was a bit of a scuff on the outer skin, hardly even noticeable.

One thing I do wish they had though was more skins to choose from. I love the case but the skin on it is so damn sticky! When I first got it the damn thing could find and pull out lint in everything it seemed. As times gone on it's lost some of it, which is nice, but it still pulls out my pockets if I'm wearing skinny jeans. You won't ever forget if you have your phone in your pocket though :D
[Motorola Droid X2] ghostcamed302:
Skelente, I have been looking at the Electra case and ha e a few questions. With the case on the phone how thick is it overall, and I know there is two versions of the case. If I get one ill get the newer one that has the silicone inside the plastic shell. So far do you still have the case, if you do are there any more cons about the case? And just curious what's your battery life with the insane batter in the Electra? Thanks, I'm getting over 17 hours with over 40% left in the standard battery, the Electra is a plus over the otterbox because of the extended battery.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
otterbox

i have the defender series. felt i needed it. i baby the hell outa my phone. - the freakin case scratched my phone on both sides near my front mic from daily use. from now on i will be getting a case where the soft layer is on the INSIDE. just sayin. THNX OTTERBOX! :victory:
[Motorola Droid X2] ghostcamed302:
I just got my Trident Kraken 2 for my droid x2 and only have one complaint about it and that is the notification bar is kinda hard to pull down now, other than that if feels like a great case and it fits very well to the phone. If anyone know how to make it easier to pull down the notification bar id like to know how to.
[Motorola Droid X2] Jauk:
I picked up the Otterbox Commuter case for around $6 on Amazon and I love it - it doesn't add much bulk to the phone but I know its protected a lot more. I'm one of those people who will sacrifice practicality for design since there is no way I could fit a bulky phone in some of my jeans and pants!
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
If you can get your finger up in the corner it seems to help but this is the exact reason I dumped that case when I had my x2
[Motorola Droid X2] vbetts:
I've had the defender for my x2, and I got rid of it because I didn't like how big it made my phone, but I can tell you I dropped it off a 2 story house doing gutter work and nothing happened to the phone or the case.
[Motorola Droid X2] Jroyd:
You don't have to read this whole story. It's a simple decision. If you need an extended battery, buy the Trident Electra. If you can get by on the standard battery, get a Trident Electra anyway because when you measure both cases from their thickest point (at the camera) they are almost identical. You'll pay about $10 more for the Electra but when you're a long way from a charger, you'll appreciate it. And from a durability/protection standpoint, these cases are virtually identical.

I'm really hard on phones. My previous phone (an XV-6700) had to be replaced 4 times because I dropped it and it broke. There were no hard-shell cases for it. So when I got the DX2 I started out with an Otterbox Defender because of their reputation. Loved the case (took a lickin' and kept my phone tickin'), but after a month the plastic belt clip broke off the holster when I got it caught in the seat belt (have my phone on my left-hand side). After that I modded the holster with a couple of military surplus belt clips and epoxy and everything was right in the world again.

But after 5 more months the promise of an extended battery wooed me over to the Trident Electra - the original version (soft stuff on outside). This case had no belt clip (made it a holster), and after several months other issues developed (gel sleeve ripped, screen protector looked like it had water between it and the screen). So this past August I called Trident and they offered me a brand new updated model for the cost of shipping back the old one. I gotta say the new one is great! All the perks of the Defender plus the 3200 mAh extended battery. And the new one has a belt holster...with a plastic clip that I broke after just 2 weeks! I was walking next to our rope storage rack and got snagged by a loop. Another trip to the army surplus store fixed this one up too. I never did care for those single-point-attachment belt clips anyway, but this is one part that should be made out of steel.

I believe I would have had to replace the phone at least 3 times without the protection afforded by these cases. Once it took a drop off a second-story balcony railing to a concrete deck (Otterbox). No damage other than a some minor scuffs to the case. Another time it fell off my (crudely made) handlebar cradle (Trident #1). Damage was a permanent scratch on the screen protector. Those are the two incidents that come to mind, but I've dropped the phone more times than I can count. Between these two cases, my 1.5-year-old DX2 still looks like it just came out of the box - except for the micro USB port (why can't the engineers figure out a more durable charging solution?).
[Motorola Droid X2] jackjadamyk:
Electra is by far the best, though it does have it's issues. Check out my thread where I go into detail about this cases pros/cons: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32604020#post32604020
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B Feelgood:
Today I finally left Sprint after 8 years of service and got myself an International Galaxy Note. I signed up for the Straight Talk prepaid cell service and everything is working great so far. My question is related to how international phones update when you use them in the United States. Can you receive updates by checking for OTA updates on the phone itself? I have provided a screen shot of the "About Me" portion of my phone. Can someone tell me if I am running the latest stock OEM firmware? Thanks...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
It appears that you have a rather old South American GB version running on your Note. UBKK3 was released in November 2011, so UBKK2 must be even older than that.

Judging by the Sammobile, South American Notes don't see much OTA updates.

Go here for the list of the latest GB versions. All of them can be downloaded and flashed via PC Odin.

Greetings,

As the title says, flashing to Amon Ra 3.11 failed using

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

. After the failed attempt I was no longer able to see my Evo using

fastboot devices

I re installed the drivers and the install suceeded but cannot see the device. I also get an error "This device can not start" in hardware manager. I can still connect and use adb or connect to the phone as a disk drive while booting. I did get Amon flashed using PC36IMG.zip method so that is not the issue. Can someone shed some light on why I can't use fastboot anymore? I have not found an answer here on XDA or other sites.

Thanks for your help!

OTHER INFO: S-Off and rooted using revolutionary, bootloader drivers installed correctly, in XP virtual machine, tried hboot usb and fastboot usb.
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Uninstall drivers, reboot PC, reinstall drivers, reboot PC try again, sometimes driver binary gets stuck if you don't reboot between installs and rebooting after install will help it install properly, if it doesn't work that way, uninstall drivers, reboot connect evo, let it look for the drivers, point it towards their location at this point and let it find and install them then reboot the PC and see if it sticks also make sure HTC sync is NOT installed
