[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gigsaw:
Thank you for the reply =)

yeah, I'm actually using the HD2O rom with CHT and I noticed that there is the possibility to use widget in the home screen, but I was thinking of something more integrated in the system...for example I found WinStart (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=935808): this is an app that replaces start menu and adds the kind of animations for windows I was looking for. Unfortunately I found this program a little too buggy (some icons disappear and many icon names are changed) and very slow :( :( :( I hope it could be possible to continue in this direction, because I think that the idea is good, but in my opinion it isn't developed properly (those animations could be integrated in a cooked rom probably) and have a similar program for Manila too. It would be simply wonderful.

Of course those are only my suggestions, but I know that nobody would develop any further for windows mobile something like this because this OS is considered dead, but I still love it more than any newer one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mister B:
I'm using an energy ROM with CHT & find it very fluid for all functions really & far more flexible than iphone & a lot better looking than Android & many functions less clicks to access.

For the hardware spec of the phone & slow official development WM was & actually still is very very good, if you look at layout of Android & compare it to WM6.5.3 you will see a lot of copying by cheeky Google ...

I need viber software for hd2 plz
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Z80-Man:
Windows Mobile does have animated transitions, but they're generally disabled, as they're slow and ugly. :D

You can still get them back using the registry (I can find that for you), but you'll probably regret it. :p

BTW, as my much esteemed colleagues said already, HTC Sense and Co0kie's Home tabs extension prvide pretty nice animations and sliding screens already.

You need what ? :confused:

Could you be more precise and explicit, please ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] thezoolander:
So I'm having trouble getting Lithium v1.2 to successfully install on my phone. I followed the steps exactly as they were written however when I go to click restore it gives me an error that says "MD5 Mismatch Error"

From my understanding of the nandroid.MD5 file, it's supposed to be created with the backup, and since Lithium ROM is supposed to be a CWM restore, I'm confused as to why I might be having this issue?:confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] thezoolander:
I think I may have fixed it. For some reason when I moved the file to my sd card, it created an extra file path so when I tried to restore it, there was nothing there. It's currently restoring so hopefully it works!
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Also one thing to note... when you rename a backup DONOT have any spaces in the name. It will case a md5 mismatch error.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Harry GT-S5830:
Try find a HoneyComb theme for GO Launcher or otherwise.

You will not get a HoneyComb based ROM for Ace, only Themed ROM.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] xHackell:
they just doesnt work.i also nid a moded systemui/framework
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] :
Google never released the source code for honeycomb. For precisely this reason ,they didn't want a tablet interface running on a phone. That's why there's no CM8, No source code.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] xHackell:
pull app using adb?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] scoffyburito:
Trust me, Honeycomb isn't what its cracked up to be
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] xHackell:
I do know the launcher app ain't really the whole launcher.framework-res.apk is also included thus making a honeycomb launcher ain't easy.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] :
yeah but then those apps would need all the honeycomb framework.

This is a good honeycomb style launcher - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.TeamSyndicate.HCL&feature=search_result

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] arul1029:
I want to upgrade my x10 mini to Android 2.3 for daily use. for that whether i have to use Achotjan Semc debrand engine V2.0 or Minicm7 which is stable and bugless pls anybody help friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] UchihaDareNial:
My x10 Mini Pro use MiniCM7 Pro V.21 Final...and it is bugless and almost perfect to be daily use :) and for the Semc Debrand Engine,it is unstable I think because I use it ONCE and it is horrible (even it is looks like 2011 Android Gingerbread stock)...the setup guide got a force close problem which we need to delete some of the apps in the Rom before flash it...so,I highly recommend MiniCM7 and MiniCM7 Pro if you have a x10 Mini Pro :D

EDIT : The Rom that I mention is made by Paul-xxx AFAIK...instead of saying 'Thanks' to me,say the word to him :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matthias1203:
Don't agree with you. Minicm by pyul it is ok but is slow. Miniscm 220 by nAa is much much faster. Only what doesn't wark so good is camera. But as some guy suggested to me just replace camera apk with camera apk from paul rom. And you got fast 2.3 rom for your mini (pro)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] niezam95:
how about it's g-sensor before this i use minicm7 pro it have lag on g-sensor..for me minicm7 by nAa more stable only lag on camera ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] UchihaDareNial:
Uhh for me it is good,a slight lagg but it is still good...because of that I say 'Almost perfect'...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pedroboschi:
I have been using nAa's MiniCM 2.1.9 with his kernel since its release and I am pretty happy with it.

I can't say it is perfect because of a bug involving Skype app. If this app is not a must for you, then I recommend you try. Very stable and fast.

Cheers
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tcntad:
Do you have to use 2.3? If not you can try out Clean0.0 V6
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TrissyGE:
This is a mini pro rom, he has a mini.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tcntad:
Totally missed that, thanks for noticing:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dogsofgods:
minicm is good, fast and stable too!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xperia_pro:
The best is minicm7 by nAa :D with nAa kernel of course :D its fast very stable the best rom
[HTC Sensation] kultom:
Hi,

Dianxin Hybrid 4.0.4 maybe could include DAC support? Just saw "android engineering" and got a bit hopeful. I see that some roms for the Samsung Galaxy devices now have DAC support hacked into them, could we get this for our HTC's to?

Thanks for any reply that might come :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilsmap:
I hope this IS the thread for asking questions..haha...

Firstly I'm a noob at Android developing, but I'm willing to learn..So I just got myself a Samsung Galaxy S Advance, and I'm going to try to root it myself.. But I'm quite buffled with the firmwares that I downloaded at samfirmware for this phone, cos the file inside are quite different from what we always see, listed like this:

cache.img.md5

system.img.md5

hidden.img.md5

kernel.bin.md5

modem.bin.md5

And there is also this file (SS_DL.dll) which I don't know how to use.. for rooting, I'm supposed to find the boot.img and modify some files in it, but I have no idea where to look for it... I suspected it would be in the kernel.bin, or compiled from that file, but that would be out of my knowledge... Is there anyone who can point me to the right direction?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilsmap:
So far i have been trying to decompile the system.img to get their NAND imgs using unyaffs and unyaffs2, but both are not working (segmentation fault and file is not multiple of 2048 + 64 or something)... Is there any other way for me to extract boot.img from the files above?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qzem:
I have decompiled system.img with dsixda kitchen, to get system files, but I don't know how to get boot.img (kernel). I think it is in the kernel.bin file, but the kitchen can't decompile it. I've been asking around how to get boot.img from this phone but nobody gives me any answer:(. If we somehow manage to get boot.img and decomple it, we can than make insercure kernel, which could be used for rooting the phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qzem:
Here is the guide for rooting Samsung Galaxy S I9070 Advance.

http://software2tech.com/2012/05/01/root-galaxy-s-advance-i9070/#more-18866

There is one problem though, the most important files, that we need, haven't been uploaded yet. I've already searched this group on facebook, and nwrite them to publish those files (kernels), but there was no answer. So I doubt that they even have those rooted kernels. Maybe you could write them too, and lets hope that they will publish kernels soon!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilsmap:
I think they don't really have the rooted kernel.. Cos Samsung haven't even release the opensource k kernel yet.. But yeah, right now I'm stuck.. I have been trying almost every possible way to create the boot.img, including unyaffs and unyaffs2, but keep getting errors... If we can just ask the guys at rootzwiki to port CWM recovery for us, but maybe they need rooted source too..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qzem:
This would be great if they could build us CWM recovery. I don't think they need kernel source they just need stock recovery, but to get stock recover.img from our phone we need to know here is located. I have pull partitons layout from the phone, but unfortunatly it doesnt tell anything useful. You can see it in the attachment.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilsmap:
whoa...that is great...maybe that could help...i will try to check with other phones, cos it might be that one of this partitions would contain boot.img as well as recovery.img... how exactly you extract this information, using kitchen, perhaps? haha...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qzem:
No my phone used to be rooted, until I have upgrade it to new firmware :D (stupid me I know, but I had test firmware before, and had quite few bugs). And I've pulled this from system partition (in /proc folder). But you can also get it with this:

adb shell

cd proc

cat partitions

I can provide some other files, that might be useful. We just need some help from experienced developers, but so far no help was offered. I've been starting threads all over the place, but nothing :D.

In the attachment are all the files that might help some developer to get us recovery working!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilsmap:
well, after searching throughout the web, I'm starting to think that without the opensource kernel from samsung, it might be quite impossible for us to root this phone... every other imaginable ways to make these system or boot images seemed to require root access... so far samsung had done a very well job in patching those root exploits...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qzem:
Yeah I think you are right, but I wish you wer not :D. Well no we have to wait for samsung to release source code of the kernel.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qzem:
Ok source code for kernel is now available!!! You can download it from opensource.samsung.com. I will make a thread later, with mirror links! Now lets compile that sh*** ;)!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilsmap:
hahahahaha...at last...i was checking that site every few hours...this would make it!!

[HTC One X] wineds:
Disk Dive mode on my One x no longer seems to work. I have tried a few different W7 computers and cables but I still cannot get access to the internal "sd" card data.

It did work when I first got it. I copied over all my old photos and music, videos etc ok.

Not sure if it was the OTA that killed it or maybe a rogue android app I have installed?

Has anyone else had issues like this? If I do a factory reset will I loose all the photos I have taken?

The phone originally came with 1.26 and was updated OTA to 1.28 about 5 days ago.

I hope it is not a hardware problem!

Update : I did a factory reset but disk Drive mode still does not work :( Anyone got any ideas?

Update : Fixed. By factory reset but only worked using factory reset option in bootloader menu. OTA must have corrupted something. I hope this is useful to others!
[HTC Amaze 4G] RXDriv3r:
Quick question since no answer in the Q&A section..

I dropped my phone, glass shattered. Hows the insurance on Tmo? I've never done a insurance claim thing so I dont know if I have to pay anything, also if when I go into T-mo I should bring the phone stock?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mreeekay:
The insurance from t-mo is pretty good. You will have to pay the deductible. I don't think it matters on the phone's rom. When I murdered my G2, I filled the form out online from Asurion with all the info, paid my deductible and they sent me a refurbished phone with a brand new charger, cable, and battery. You can only make up to 2 claims a year I think though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ce3jay:
When I did claims on my rooted phones, I had custom roms on it. T-mo or asurion never said anything about them.

You can make 2 claims within a 12 month period.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gypsy214:
i think you can make 2 claims in 12 months if the phone been stolen or lost, but you can have a warranty exchange as how many times you want,

and yes it is best to have back to stock unless your phone died and wont come back on even with a different battery,

just call tmobile and tell them you want a warranty exchange, i think the deductible for a broken screen its $80, deductible for a exchange if your phone brick its $5, and the deductible for when the phone is stolen or lost its $130

but tmobile is really good with their warranty exchange,

other wise if the rep you are dealing with wont make a warranty exchange its because they told not to do warranties exchange often, they get more points if they dont..

i pretty much know the system, my BF its a tmobile tech support :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
They get nothing from not doing your exchange, it's that broken screens aren't part of your warranty. That's what you would pay insurance for and the charge isn't 80 dollars either.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bangsters:
If they will charge you around $130 upwards, I think it would be better to just call TMO and ask them to give you a courtesy and allow you another full upgrade price.

I cancelled my Assurion insurance on my phones, and when I dropped my phone, I just explained to them and asked if they could give me a courtesy and allow me to get another phone for full upgrade price. If you've been a loyal customer (been with TMO since 2003 and pay a significant monthly) they would normally let you get a phone for full upgrade price.

either way, good luck and hopefully you get it replaced or fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] castaway1:
i have exactly same issues with my Galaxy nexus as on this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc1O96De7OU

I try change every setting i can but no effect..

802.11g i get 23Mbps speed in speedtest

802.11n it is 5Mbps. (sometime i cant measure becouse wifi reconnect, droping, "lagging" conection - like connected but do nothing while browsing)

Using Belkin N+ router.

Im using AOKP milestone5 all stock but it has same on non rooted stock phone.

This is what i get on notebook with 802.11n only

If anybody had same issue or have some idea how to fix it please let me know im seraching for reason or fix too long time :o . Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Try a different wifi channel on the router.

I think the GN supports any of the first four channels.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
5GHz is disgracefully and HORRIBLY broken on the GN. Class action suit might be in order…
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] castaway1:
i try a lot channels maybe not all but first four for sure i do.

i just receive message from youtube video creator whish is little different

my router support 5Ghz but it only switch on it if its possible..In my area there is a lot networks thats why i think it is on 20Mhz - 2.4Ghz

attached all what i can set in my router.

Is there anybody who is using 802.11n only with 2.4Ghz with good speeds and with no signal droping? (sometime i can even measure speed in speedtest.net)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
What?

I have good speed with no signal dropping on 2.4GHz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
LOL...go for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I get better range on 2.4 (which is to be expected), but I connect and stay connected to 5ghz as well. I get an easy 15 down 10 up on 5ghz.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
Read my sticky thread on "R800x Users: You've got Custom ROM questions? I've got answers." It still applies, at least until May 1st when you get an update.

In short: you can root your phone. There is something else called a bootloader that remains locked that controls whether you can use certain custom ROMs and kernels. There is a paid way to unlock it which gives you more access. There are quite a few custom ROMs you can use with a locked bootloader that will improve your phone's performance, and even more if you unlock the bootloader.

About the locked bootloader thing, Verizon can do that because they subsidize the cost of the phone in your contract. So, technically, they "own" the phone for the contract period and can dictate what you can do to said hardware.

You need to do a bit more digging. You can do a LOT more than stock.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elwenil:
Thanks for the info. I skimmed through the thread but I wondered if it still applied, good to know that it does so I'll go back and read it in detail. I guess I understand the Verizon thing. This is the real cost of buying my phone for a penny off Amazon, lol. Again, thanks for the info and I will definitely check out the info on rooting my phone, even if it's not totally unlocked. As long as I can get rid of most of the bloatware, I will be satisfied with that. Not really looking to make my phone do anything more than it does now, but improving it's performance and storage is definitely my motivation so hopefully something along those lines is still possible. Thanks again!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mogul345:
Well, I paid the unsubsidized price for my Play (~$500 if I recall) so I wouldn't have to sign a contract, and they still won't let me unlock it, not that that stopped me...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
Technically you pay for the device but Sony holds the rights to what is contained within. You don't own EVERYTHING in the phone. Just the right to use it. Sure its in the Terms and Conditions
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elwenil:
Well even with Verizon's meddling I was able to root my phone even without unlocking the boot loader. I got Titanium Backup installed and was able to remove a lot of the bloatware on my phone and free up a lot of memory. I wasn't able to delete all that I wanted but I was able to get back about 100mb of phone memory with just the things I did delete and that is good enough for me. The phone is acting normal so I guess I did everything right and didn't do any damage and I got the space I needed so I am pleased. Maybe down the road I will want to do more to the phone and workarounds will exist then but for now I am happy with what I have achieved.

Thanks again to Netizenmt and all the people who posted the information listed in your sticky. It was a great help once I calmed down, dug below the surface and did some more research. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ceasare:
In theory, can i flash clockwork to my.unrooted phone and then flash roms via the.sd card?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VonEsch:
Root isn't required for flashing custom recovery, since it is flashed either through Odin or ADB. I believe any ROM you flash short of the leak will come pre rooted. If you wanted to I guess you could uninstall busy box and super user, but I don't know what would happen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
You need root ability to use the functions within custom roms....I think if you did that,you would end up having a million errors...lol...are you just curious to see if its possible?...or actually wanting to try this?...I wouldn't recommend it...The process of rooting is very easy and unrooting is just as equal....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
lmao.... Roms are prerooted, all of it is included in the zip. and if it ain't i wouldn't flash anything made by that "dev"

You don't need root to flash cwm with Odin, you do however need root to push cwm with adb.

Once you have cwm, all you need to do is wipe and flash the ROM. Like i said above, the ROM is rooted, so when you boot up you'll have root.

The only reason to root before flashing is if you wanted to use titanium backup.

Didn't know that, I avoid ADB for fear of typos, good information to know though, thanks.
