[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BU7CH4:
i first started with this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016084

very helpful if you don't know anything about what you're doing (like you and me) ^^

the most difficult question would be, which ROM to use. you said you'd like to keep Sense.

well here is an overview of every ROM you can get for your desire:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=809328

find out the differences between them, and then decide which one suits you best. but don't be afraid to try non-sense (haha, no pun intended :D) ROMs.

now some explicit answers:

(1) yes, almost every ROM allows you to move internal storage to your SD and some even speed up your device. with some you could experience reboots now and then, but thats rather rare.

(2) yes, you can backup everything. there are two ways to do that:

a - NANDroid backup: it creates some kind of an image (like the .ISO is the image of a DVD), which can be restored, so that your phone looks the same as before.

i recommend it every time you change or update your ROM. NANDroid backups are available after you rooted and S-OFF'd your device.

b - there are many apps on the market to backup nearly every part of your user data. the most popular is Titanium Backup. it can make a copy highscores, user input like passwords, bookmarks of your browser, and so on.

contacts can usually be secured via your googlemail account.

all of those backups can and will be placed on you SD card, from where you can easily copy them to your desktop pc.

question 3 is already answered...keep an eye out for sticky threads (the ones pinned on top of every sub-forum) and you will find all the information needed.

good luck.

The easiest way to learn about android is to test it out..play with it as much as you want :) and about rooting use revolutionary, it's the fastest and easiest method.Also, about restoring your Rom, you can do that by backing it up in recovery, nandroid backup as they call it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
the two guides linked in the posts 2 and 3 are quite outdated. neither even mention revolutionary.

revolutionary does not give you root. it performs s-off. root comes after flashing the superuser.zip.

@OP, i always recommend this set of guides, which explain a bit more in detail about what everything is first, so you can get an understanding of what you're doing before you do it (just as important!). the video guide is also useful to take you through the actual process.

take your time, i'm sure you'll eventually find what you want :good:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewAndroidNoob:
Thanks to all, I will "study" all links before proceed, Like I said I was just looking for few answers with directions of correct tutorials.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewAndroidNoob:
hmm..after reading all that stuff I am just confused.

Can anyone point at step-by-step tutorial of how to just make my phone have additional memory on SD card, I want to keep my official 2.2.2. ROM with all apps installed.

As I understand I need to root phone and make some linux partition on SD.

Now, I don't know how to keep apps already installed etc so thats where you guys step in with tutorials for my problem.

Few things to keep in mind:

I dont want S-OFF if not needed

I dont want to change my RADIO, ROM or whatever.

Just additional memory on SD card.

Thanks advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BU7CH4:
in that case you should take a look at this:

Link2SD

it's an application that allows you to move apps to your 2nd SD partition. no need to flash ROMs or anything else.

the only premise is that you need root.

i don't know if this app has any disadvantages...

but i recommend you to take a closer look at flashing ROMs anyways, because most people (including me) claim that their phone was kinda revived with a new custom ROM.

it's really worth a try. sure, there's a huge amount of reading involved, but in the end it's simpler than you think.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neXus PRIME:
first you need root to install titanium backup then, you can take complete backups of your apps, cuz installing a custom ROM will surely destroy the apps.......just take your time, you'll get it........ I took 3 Weeks like you , reading, searching and reading some more..... Then i started doing, and all things fell in place., 1 year has passed and not looking back....:D:):)

Regards
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
it does take a lot of time to understand it all, that's a good thing. many people with no experience with rooting have used the guides successfully

as above, links2sd should work. however, i was exactly the same, thinking i didn't want a custom rom, just thought i wanted more memory. but a custom rom is well worth the time when you find the right one for you. :good:

the guides will show you how to partition sd card properly (gparted or 4ext recovery)

BU7CH4 said in 3rd post...use apps like titanium backup. please read what we tell you ;)

s-off is not absolutely necessary, but is much more versatile, and more useful if things go wrong in the future. revolutionary will perform s-off anyway, and is ideal for your hboot version. don't be scared of it.

upgrading radio is not absolutely necessary
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewAndroidNoob:
So after all readings and courage building, today I have decided to run operation X (lol)

Here is what I have done for now:

1. Done many things with PC drivers and comms PC-Mobile

2. S-OFF via Revolutionary

3. Denied CUSTOM RECOVERY from Revolutionary, read somewhere that 4EXT Recovery Touch is better. (I hope I didn't do something wrong with this decision)

4. Installed 4EXT Recovery Touch - custom recovery

5. From Recovery installed Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed

Now, it looks like I have now HTC Desire with S-OFF and root.

If I understand correctly now I can install titanium backup and also do nandroid backups.

After all backups I do, then I can proceed to new custom roms, extend memory to SD etc..still I am not sure do I want do more then extend mem.. :confused: Well, with time I will probably explore new roms just for fun or whatever.

But for today I have done enough (too much stuff in short time for newbee :)))

BTW for now all has gone without problem or errors.

Thank everyone on help.

Hi

I have a non branded GT-P1000 Tab. Trying to follow instructions at http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-gt-p1000-android-4-0-4-ics-aokp-rom-97483/ to install AKOP.40 ROM

Need Clockworkmod installed.

Installed Rom Manager then attempted to install Clockworkmod - It asks me to choose my phone type. Closest options are: Galaxy Tab - ATT, Samsung Galaxy Tab - T-Mobile, Samsung galaxy tab - VZW.

What do I install, or is there another version of Clockworkmod for non Branded TAB somewhere?

Thanks ColinK
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
From Manager is not compatible with P1000

You may brick your device if you force install cwm recovery of different device.

The only method is to flash via Odin, a kernel that contains cwm recovery.

overcome kernel is one of them.

In fact it was recommended in all ICS rom install guide you find here.

Start here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27500461

See my reply there.

Forget about reference to AOKP build 38, that was back then.

Download the latest.

Instruction remains the same.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colink:
Hi

Thanks for your prompt reply. The instructions for flashing overcome seems to have multiple steps and "IF's", with multiple opportunities to go wrong.

The android authority guide seems straightforward, and I have gone through some of it - except the guide makes no mention of how to get CWM.

Is there a simple way to get the right version of CWM installed, or something else that will do the same steps / functions.

If not, were exactly does the install part start and do I also have to install Odin?

Sorry for so many questions / uncertainty.

ColinK
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
As I said before.

No, there is only ONE way to get CWM recovery for P1000.

That is to flash a kernel that has CWM Recovery.

Either cf-root kernel or Overcome Kernel or Redpill kernel.

It is dead simple.

Download the tar file

Connect to Odin.

Flash.

Now, lets start by telling us what you have. P1000 running Froyo?

Rooted?

BTW, if you follow the complete Overcome guide, 99.999% you won't go wrong, if you follow every steps.

So read it 10 times if not sure.

The GB-Stock-Safe package mentioned in Overcome and available on their site, it contains the correct version of Odin (1.7) and the USB driver for Samsung.

32 bit and 64 bit driver for Windows.

Absolutely nothing else extra is needed. All there.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yappoe:
Actually you can flash a CWM.zip update without installing a kernel after you root your device.

But again, installing kernel with CWM included just like Priyana said would be a lot easier and simpler.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colink:
Hi Thanks for your continued help.

GT-P1000, 2.2, Baseband P1000xxjma, Kernel 2.6.32.0 root@dell104#1

The tab is completely standard, never touched until a few days ago. Followed the instrictions at Android Authority to Root using z4Root

How do I know if it is rooted? (Ie was z4 root successful).

Did Wipe Data/Factory Reset, and Wipe Cache Partition - then realised I did not have ClockworkMod recovery installed.

That is where I am now.

I hope you do not mind me asking clarifications for your instruictions. Your guide said 'jump to .. flash overconme" - where does that part start.

The quide mentions downloading a gb stock safev5.zip , an Oversome Kernel.tar and 7 series wipe.zip

Note the gb stock.zip mentions Gingerbread Based - I have Fryo (what are the implications)

But your last reply just mentions downloading the tar file and using odin

Can you see that for someone who is not familiar with all this Android jargon this is all very confusing.

I am quite competent in following instructions, but most instructions assume certain conditions (without telling me if my Tab meets those conditions), and assumes I know what eg "odin sees it" means, where is odi, where do I install it, how do I use it.

What I really want is a straightforward guide that will tell me how to install AOKP ROM Build 40 onto MY Tab, without 'go here' and 'go there' and only do this IF ...

Thanks for your help.

ColinK
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Hi ColinK,

Unfortunately there is no straight way to install AOKP.

I am afraid you have to follow the guide to the letter, sort of.

This is why.

Some froyo from for our tab has locked bootloader.

So if you are on froyo there is a small chance you had a locked one.

You need to root your tab then run an app to check and to patch.

(I forgot by now whether you need root to check... to patch definitely yes)

Now, that is why Overcome guide said if froyo you need to root.

It is not strickly necessary.

Now, let's assume you don't have locked bootloader.

You only need to use Odin and flash GB stock safe v5 (which is actually Gingerbread Samsung version JQ1 Italian rom)

So, you need Odin.

Unpack the gb stock safe and you find Odin and USB driver.

Install USB driver first, then plug in your tab and your PC will detect the new device.

Unplug your device.

Install Odin.

Launch Odin, put your device to download mode and plug your device in to PC.

I am not a big user of Odin. I use heimdall in Linux which is simple and just work, so my memory is sketchy.

Odin will detect your device. There will be messages on screen.

Line up the files according to the guide and flash.

If no error your tab rebooted and you have GB ROM.

that of course isn't the end because you need cwm.

So continue with the guide.

It asks you to use Odin to flash overcome kernel tar.

Do it and you will end up having cwm recovery.

That is the end of guide.

You don't need to flash overcome rom.

Just follow my other thread reply to get AOKP.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yappoe:
Addition info: The easiest way to check if you are rooted or not:

Download and install 'root check' or 'got root?' from google play store.

If the rooting failed, you can try the doomslords rooting script. It was my favorite root script up to GB2.3.3

Once you succesfully rooted, continue download the bootloader patch for froyo.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
I have been on AOKP for so long, all this rooting, bootloader and all are a blur now.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yappoe:
:) I can feel you. I can't even 100% remember if gb-stock-safe is pre-rooted or overvcome kernel gives root access for it.

Basically to restock:

Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.

(BTW you can just jump to page 7 of the PDF to the Odin part)

Stop there and you will have Gingerbread.

Continue just one more step by flashing Overcome Kernel 4.0 tar

That you end up with cwm for some method is coincidental.

Hello all!

Here is my mini review of the game.

[YOUTUBE]07VLO_Tafdw[/YOUTUBE]

So the game is great...outstanding graphics etc. Things that need to be fixed...Performance. It is laggy and not only on the Note.

So if it lags on the GS3 then I expect an update to fix it soon...or at least I hope :laugh:

Also, it wouldn't hurt if people actually moved their mouths during cut scenes! :)

Anyways, I hope you enjoy it.

ive got this game on my gnote using the miui rom but its extremely laggy even if im oerclocked to 1.6 Ghz
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
MIUI is based on CM9/AOKP not Samsung ROMs correct?

If so, that is normal. Currently those roms cannot match the speed of Samsung ones specially since the kernal I am using has an overclocked GPU.

I am a CM9 fan from my Captivate days but for the NOTE, it is still not on par sadly.

This game lags terribly and heats up the phone so much near the camera area, its crazy...

Tested it out on my wives Ipad 2 and it runs like a dream, looks better and also sits in multitask area and opens again no problem, why the hell with a 1.6mhz dual core super machine can we not get it to run anywhere near as good as bloomin god I hate apple, but they always get it right:mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
Is not optimized for android. Check the GS3 having the same lag. If that one with a quad core and faster GPU cannot handle it then you know is the game. I hope Gameloft fixes it soon though as the lag does take away from the fun :\
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jkenley28:
my CPU is ocd to 1.6 and GPU to 400mhz (notecore v7, cleanote 3.1 rom), still laggy as hell. spent the last hour to tweak the setting using chainfire 3d, trying different plugins. and it seems better, but maybe its just a placebo effect.

def, need an update for performance...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
I dont even try with chainfire. For now, Notecore is as good as it gets. The only thing that made me smile was seeing the GS3 with the same issues...a little bit of hope :D I mean, it still plays fine but I rather wait and play it better...hopefully.

To be honest even my newly updated Lets Golf 3 lags like hell, even though im OC'd to 1.6 with Notecore, I suppose its down to the shear size of the screen the graphics are having to push too.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] chickentuna:
agreed. what dev's do is just port the game over to android instead of starting from scratch thus giving android devices a bad name if the game does not properly run on android platforms.
