[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puchau:
Hi everybody:

After two days looking for information in the forum I'm going to try to install the ICS on my HTC Desire Z.

As I'm a noob in the forum and in rooting procedures, I'm going to describe what steps I follow in order to have it wrote if there is a problem with my phone.

My Software Information is:

Android Version: 2.3.3

HTC Sense: 2.1

Radio: 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M

Kernel: 2.6.35.10-g53a84f9

Compilation Number: 2.42.405.4 CL 192788 release-keys

Software number: 2.42.405.4

As far as I know, as my Android Version is 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) I have to downgrade my phone to 1.34. For that I will follow this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912

After that I have to root my phone as told in the wiki.

Can anyone confirm that I want to do is correct, please?

Kind Regards

JSP

Hi everybody!

All was OK, my DZ has now a Audacity B3 ROM!

Thanks for all the info!

Hi guys,

Di you think I need to recalibrate my battery each times I reflash a rom?

- in the case I do wipe data / factory reset (fresh install)

- in the case I do only dalvik and cache wipe (like rom update)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpith.fbi:
yes u will need to calibrate ur battery everytime u flash a ROM..

change it till 100%..keep it on charge for another 1 hr..then calibrate it using the app..then you are done..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soad0:
that is a shame! It take me 10 minutes to update Arconium ICS 2.2 to 2.3 on my Arc S and then it take 1 day to calibrate my battery!

Maybye I should ask the dev if there is a way to backup battery stats between rom update
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvyParts:
Short answer is no.

the battery stats is deleted with the rom flash. the battery call is a hardware/kernel harcoded thing... sorta...

you do not need to delete the batterystats file android sorts all of that out on it's own.

i would look up the references from Diane Hackthorn (google engineer) but i am too tired :P

best way to sort out you battery is to use your phone. charge it when you want to. :)

lithium batteries prefer to stay charged than to be discharged fully.

*EDIT* also the batterystats file has nothing to do with battery life! all it does is tell you what has been using the battery ;) for the battery screen in settings. ( android deletes it when you have a full battery neway)

Pvy.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpith.fbi:
whenever i install a rom and while discharging the battery suddenly slides 10-15%(not everytime)..but after calibrating this problem is solved..so i always calibrate after installing a rom..well i m not losing anything :)

Miren is sadly for whatever reason no longer on the market but it is an awesome browser. One thing I will say for it is that its really fast. The miren browser is actually the browser from the Miui Roms. At least it was at one time, not sure if it still it. After the Miui roms came out the Miui team stted releasing the Miui apps ported for all phones to the market. I thnk becuase now there is a Miui phone in China, that may be why there is no miren browser on the market anymore.

Hello,

I run my own website over ssl. I haven't bought a trusted certificate, but have generated my own root cert. From this one I have generated various other certificates for my servers and clients.

When I install those certificates on my stock Galaxy Nexus or my CM9 Touchpad, ICS tell me that I must set a pin/pw/pattern to unlock my device. It seems there isn't anyway to store certificates without enabling one of these unlock method.

Once the certificates are installed there is no way to reenable slide to unlock without removing the certificates from the device.

I don't want that. I have generated my own certificates and I have full control on them at the server side. If my device get lost or stollen, I just need to revoke them, and I can do this easily. So this type of security is useless for me.

I would like to be able to use slide to unlock or even "no lock screen" while keeping my certificates installed on my device.

Does someone knows a way to do that. Or give me some advices about where to search ?

Thanks for reading !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miljbee:
I have searched everywhere and didn't found any information about this.

Does someone know where the default security policies are stored ? are they stored as plain text ? are they signed ?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miljbee:
I found that using tasker and secure settings, I can disable pattern unlock even if I have certificates installed. The only problem is that the mod can't be permanent. After a few hours with pattern disabled. Android will ask you an unknown password to access your certificates. Reenabling pattern unlock via secure settings solves the problem for a few more hours ...

Well, I suppose it has some sense. Having a custom certificate means restricted access for a reason, and is also reasonable to ask for minimum credentials to the one that is using such device. You wouldn't leave the keys of the office of your work hanging outside in the door would you?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miljbee:
I keep the keys in my pocket, like my phone. No need to put them in a locked case. It would be annoying to have to find the key to open the case so I can get access to the key that would open the door ...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alphaneus:
No Lock Screen.

There's one on there that you install using your computer, and it downloads to your phone and disables the lock screen. It's mainly for a forgotten password though.

I'm thinking that no lock screen is what you need.

That completely removes it though.

I suggest installing MagicLocker to replace your lock screen entirely.

That kind of applications don't work like supposed when Device Administrators are installed. Just after that custom unlock takes you anyway to the pattern or password. Try it.

PS: Diggin those thanks if this works for you ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSnet:
Just an addendum to toggling pattern lock on and off using root, when you disable pattern lock, the phone will revert to whatever the last lock method was. If it was "None" the phone will turn straight onto the homescreen. If it was "Slide" you'll see the side to unlock keyguard.

If you want to change this, go into Settings > Security > Screen lock > Slide then repeat but choose Settings > Security > Screen lock > Pattern. This effectively sets the 2 lock types the phone will toggle between.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheRaven65:
Help a noob out? I have a virgin DX2 - never rooted - freshly updated to 2.3.5 (was in the soak) - and I'm finally ready to root it and try out a ROM. I've been lurking here for a week or so reading & trying to learn all I can about the process - and I think I'm ready to give it a shot.

Obviously Step 1 is to SBF back to 2.3.4 so I can get rooted, but after that is where I'm running into some indecision. I can't decide if I want to go straight to CM7 from there - or follow the instructions to keep root, SBF back to 2.3.5 and install Eclipse 2.2.

I know both ROMs have their loyal followers and I'm sure either would be a big improvement over stock Blur... and I know it's easy enough to try BOTH of them once I get the hang of all this... but I'd still appreciate some advice about which to try first.

For those of you who've tried both, which do you prefer? What are the pros & cons of each?

Thanks!

I'm guessing you've seen this thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1632111

Seems to center around Eclipse and CM7 mostly. Eclipse can be a bit more polished in my estimation, mostly due to HDMI, FM radio, less buggy, you know, all the bells and whistles working. For the most part, either way you go you'll be fine.

Currently I have myself and my wife on CM7, we both like it. No real issues to speak of.
[Motorola Droid X2] S3AL3DF4T3:
I personally perfer CM7RC1 its a solid daily driver very minor issues and I never get bored with it. Here's my overview of both ROMs.

No Tethering.

Bugs:

Some Experience Wifi Resetting. (No Fix ATM)
[Motorola Droid X2] HitMyKush:
I have tried out every x2 rom under the sun and as of right now I think your best bet is cm7. I would recommend running the cm7 mash up script, along with the dual core script, because with both of these the res is flawless.

but of course, I think you should try both of them out because it is personal preference. And if we get cm9 here soon then we will all be happy little cracked out, flashed up, ics'd whores with everything we can dream of for the x2, with some extra feta cheese.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
This is a fair evaluation of both ROMs but really it all boils down to personal preference and things like if you need HDMI and stuff like that...I personally never use HDMI or the FM radio...but still liked eclipse and that's what I have on my wife's phone albeit its 2.1...I am sure when CM9 comes out she will like to try it...in short flash them both run them for a week or so and see which one you like and go from there
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
The end of your post made my day...
[Motorola Droid X2] ComputerNmyPocket:
Just a caution on CM7; I haven't tried the latest release but on the first release the camcorder continuous auto-focus didn't function. It seemed to focus once when you press the shutter button and remain fixed, and sometimes that focus was in error itself. Not a lot of people seem to care about that but my phone has the heavy responsibility of archiving my sons' most important memories for them to look back on when they are older, so I just went back to stock rom. Other than that, CM7 seemed great.
[Motorola Droid X2] S3AL3DF4T3:
I use CM7RC1 Dual Core Script, Build Prop Mashup, 8 Touch Point Mod, Cron Scheduler, Beats Audio, 3 CDMA Mods. My phone is blazing fast!
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
In my experience the beats audio hack ruined my sound quality. Also the dual core script......Our 2nd core boots up automatically when there's a demand for more memory. Dragonzkiller even stated this is the dual core script thread. Keeping both on at all times pretty much only drains your battery faster. Only difference I noticed with it was the home screen animations were a little snappier. Wasn't enough change in performance for the lack of battery IMHO. Just a few things if you go the CM7 route. Never tried Eclipse so I can't help you there.

[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Why do these keep popping up...the search bar is definitely not be used...

Anyways...Eclipse is literally a hair slower than cm7 but it is worlds more stable. Wifi on Eclipse far better than cm7's. Cm7 has some SU issues but they can be fixed by installing Super SU from the market and getting rid of the normal SU app.

Tethering is easier on cm7 is strong -- heat is something you'll have to worry about. I've tethered on Eclipse through the use of a Market app so a little more work must be done there.

Downside to Eclipse is that you must go to 2.3.5 to use it whereas Cm7 is 2.3.4. Battery life on Eclipse is better for me. I've had serious computer trouble this past month and have had to do some research for papers on my phone! With the brightness on full, Gmusic/Pandora/power amp going and internet on my battery would last ~6-9 hours.

I should also mention that I have the Second Core Script going and my battery life took a very small. Not backbreaking but noticeable.

Not going to lie ; your phone will heat up slightly more regardless of the rom you're on when you use the script

Personally I enjoy Eclipse much more than cm7. Blue is my favorite color :)

Come over to the dark side...
[Motorola Droid X2] S3AL3DF4T3:
Hmm haven't ran into any sound issues yet. As far as the dual core script I understand the core will activate on demand. The thing is this only happens when the CPU becomes so over tasked by processes it create a short lag before kicking in. This script makes that laggy transition disappear. I would only recommend this script for people with the extended battery like me tho.
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Obviously, lol... no "lag" or time needed to boot because its already always on... :p

Did you use the script editor in ROM toolbox to apply it, sealedfate? If so do you check apply on boot, or do you only use it when you see fit?

[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
If you have a X2 now I would say you have to try them both. Run one for a couple of weeks do a nano back up and then try the other for a couple of weeks. Then you can decide which you like better. Or you can do like I did and just keep going back and forth every few weeks because you love them both :)
[Motorola Droid X2] S3AL3DF4T3:
I have the script in system/ect/init.d so it applies on boot. Helps a hell of a lot with 3D games.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheRaven65:
Actually, like I said in my first post, I'm been doing nothing but searching and reading on here for the past week or so. Eclipse 2.2 just dropped a week ago, so I was looking for fresh opinions from people who had tried CM7 and that version specifically.

I appreciate all the helpful comments from everyone though. I think I'll do like a few of you suggested and try them both eventually... starting with CM7.

Hopefully we can all add CM9 to the list of ROMs to try very soon!

[Motorola Droid X2] TheRaven65:
Success! Following Moon Shadow's instructions to the letter, I successfully SBF'd back to 2.3.4, rooted, and installed CM7 without any problems whatsoever. CM7 is up and running! Just need to get my apps reinstalled and I'll be good to go. Man... you guys weren't kidding. The phone is SOOOO much faster/smoother now, it's not even funny. Should have done this a long time ago.

Thanks everyone!
[Motorola Droid X2] TheRaven65:
OK, it appears that I spoke too soon. I realized soon after that the Google apps did not get loaded on my phone (Gmail, Maps, Nav, YouTube, etc.), but some of the other apps in that same ZIP file DID get installed (Talk). Also, my old background pic was still on the phone.

I was able to download/install the missing Google apps without any problem and they all work perfectly (including Nav from the car dock) - and everything else has been running flawlessly. The phone is very fast & smooth... no bugs... not a single force close or reboot yet after fairly heavy use for the last couple of days.

So... obviously something didn't go perfectly with my install, but as far as I can tell, everything is fine with the phone. How can I tell if I'm missing anything else? Should I just keep what I have or SBF back to 2.3.4 and start over again? I'm perfectly happy with it right now - but maybe I don't know what I'm missing.
[Motorola Droid X2] grnsl2:
Not sure how anyone might be able to tell you what you might be missing on your phone. It is pretty basic what you get, not a lot of bells and whistles put in by default.

Not aware of a comprehensive list of what you should have exactly.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheRaven65:
Thanks for the reply. I guess that's sort of what I'm after... a list of apps that are installed from the ZIP file containing the Google Apps. If the Google Apps are the only things that didn't get installed initially - and I was able to install them manually successfully, then I think I'm OK, but if there are otehr apps missing, or could be other underlying problems caused by this, then I guess I could start over.

Like I said... I'm perfectly happy with it like it is now... but it's possible I just don't know what I'm missing, since I've never done this before.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheRaven65:
By the way... I've started another thread over on the X2 Q&A forum for this - since it's off-topic from the original post. Might be better to post any further replies about it over there.

What firmware you are on as of today ? Before installing Custom ROM's , You should know what is the ROM is based on Example : For Creeds Fusion , Pratyush's ROM is based on DDLC3 (I've just checked it using Secret codes)

Mine Current ROM is DXKK4 (Just like DXKL2) then i installed Creeds' Fusion V 3.2 , So far i dont have any problems with this one except for the signal bars aren't properly shown , Since i've still updated Instagram last May 15 (Since they have their new update).
