[HTC EVO 3D] Kalash:
"Very" is a little harsh.

Cloinging an ESN is a federal crime (regulated by the FCC), but the law is written to prevent cloning an ESN to steal service (i.e. creating a true clone - having 2 phones working off of one contract/service, and only paying for service for one phone).

The laws are a little bit behind on this one.

While techinically against the law, the fact is that if you only ever have one phone connected to the service using that ESN - and you are the contract holder for the service associated with that ESN, you are not "stealing the service" and are not committing an actual crime.

The government no longer recognizes non-criminal activity as innocent, however, and the act of cloning the ESN number is prohibited by law.

For a short break off topic, this is part of the problem with the "free people" in America - their government prohibits, they obey or lose their life, liberty, and/or property to their government.

The government can prosecute you for violating it's rules, even if you commit no crime (no tresspass upon another person's equal inherent rights). The limitations on normal people (the inability to bring a case to court without Standing - a distinct and palpable injury or loss caused by another person; Standing only allows you to bring a civil proceeding against the infringing party - no criminal (prison/fines/death penalty) sanctions may be imposed) do not apply to government. No crime must exist for the state to bring a criminal case against a person (trust me. I went to prison for violating a governmental licensing statute - without having committed an actual crime).

Government has no rights, and - Constitutionally - cannot bring charges against a person EXCEPT in the case where it is representing the rights of a victim of crime (i.e. a murder case), or cases of treason.

Government doesn't obey the rules any more.

So while intent is generally considered to be part of the crime (innocent intent to use service you are paying for should not be criminalized), the actual interpretation of the law may be different - if you are ever taken to court, and the state brings charges against you.

The likelihood of this happening is very, very small.

As long as you aren't selling phones with cloned ESN's, and don't make a habit out of doing this (and also destroy the phone with the ESN you clone - making there only be 1 phone with the ESN you are using), you shouldn't have any problems.

That being said, it is still, technically, against federal law.
[HTC Wildfire S] marchelius:
Hey guys, was just wondering..

What hardware changes are made in new WFS's ??

I think, there is something new in screen or GPU, because:

- CWM recovery 5.0.2.x recovery is with blank screen

- CWM Recovey 6.0.x.x doesn't work at all

- CM7 and CM9 build-in kernels doesn't start

- after replace kernel CM's roms starts, but touchscreen and 4 bottom buttons doesn't work

- old versions of CM7 starts, but screen is blank all the time (rom and touch works - I see this in Droid@Screen)

I think there are changes in BOOT section of CM's - I wonder if it is possible to replace boot section and kernel from stock 2.3.5 rom.

Maybe then touchscreen will be working.

Maybe HTC provides some technical data about hardware changes in WFS's ???

dmesg log

As is described here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29846194&postcount=31 with adb shell dmesg command I got this log file.Hope it helps.I can't yet post in dev section.And thank you,Marchelius because I was planning to try CM7,but for now I stay with same ROM as you.I put other 2 dmesg logs which was made in recovery.
[HTC Wildfire S] WoefulDerelict:
Bravo!

This should help narrow down the issue so the community can come up with a fix for these devices. Which kernel/ROMs are users of these devices able to use without display issues?
[HTC Wildfire S] marchelius:
I think every stock GB will be work. I tried 2.13 and 2.26 stock roms and works fine.

EQDKP roms works too - I tried v4.7 v4,0 and v5.0 deodexed. I think, roms like wildchild etc. will be work OK.

I used kernels : Dust, Jikantu and Cake - all of them work OK

With AOKP, CM7 and CM9 i tried Cake kernel - after replace roms starts, but still is problem with screen.

I tried replace boot.img from stock rom and apply to CM9 - flashed OK, but roms doesn't work - still had startup logo and phone freeze after few minutes.
[HTC Wildfire S] WoefulDerelict:
More logs would be really helpful!

So, ROMS based around the stock HTC kernels and software boot without display issues but, completely custom firmware and kernels are a mixed bag? As I understand it Dust, Jikantu and Cake kernels are extended drop-in replacements for ROMs based around the stock GB releases and those all work fine. Have you managed to get any CM7 ports working with a replacement kernel? Are all the AOKP ports you've tried ICS based?

I don't imagine you'll have much luck plugging a GB kernel into an ICS rom like CM9. There were a number of changes in the way Android expects it's hardware to be presented between Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich that would keep it from working properly; however, most of the work is still based off the kernel source released by HTC.

In your experiments with AOKP, CM7 and CM9 you say that after replacing the kernel with one that worked in a stock GB ROM it booted but, the display still didn't properly initialise? Could you still poke the device through ADB? If it's responsive a logcat and dmesg would be extremely helpful.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

There are two types of log you can generate that would be extremely helpful in tracking down this issue: dmesg and logcat. In this situation dmesg is likely our greatest ally. Dmesg contains all of the kernel degugging messages which will allow developers to look for errors from the kernel regarding the display. Logs from healthy systems and broken systems can be equally utilitarian in tracking down what's happening with your devices.

You can pull a dmesg from any device that has successfully booted and has adb running even if it hasn't initialised the display properly. The basic command looks like this.

adb shell dmesg

To make it easier to share this information you can redirect the output to a text file in the working directory using >. This works in both windows and *nix. Should you choose you can also specify a path for the command to drop the file into.

adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt

If users wouldn't mind naming them dmesgDisplayOK.txt and dmesgDislayFAIL.txt depending on if the display was properly initialised when the log was generated I'd certainly appreciate it.

If you've successfully booted a ROM the system will also supply logcat data which can be collected by the following command. As with the previous command this will also direct the output to the specified location. Most recovery software doesn't start logcat.

adb logcat > logcat.txt

As with dmesg I'd appreciate easily identifiable names like logcatDisplayOK.txt and logcatDisplayFAIL.txt to help developers.

If you've booted a recovery distribution most keep their own logs. This file is most often hidden in /tmp and called recovery.log. You can pull this file using the following command and it will drop it into your current working directory. Should you choose it will also accept a destination path.

adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

The more information about the software you were running at the time the logs were generated you can include the better.

[HTC Wildfire S] VladIS82:
I'd like to know, too. I have been looking every day through internet for the solution - all are quiet. Seems like there is a little amount of people with WFS 2012 who want custom roms... Others don't bother. Why then HTC offers us unlocking of our bootloader if there is no alternative left? :(

[HTC Sensation] ilarisk:
Hi. I'm new on sensation. I used some ICS roms but scrolling is laggy on all. Do you know why? Is it depends on hardware or android? Will Jelly Bean smooth?

sorry for noob questions
[HTC Sensation] PP337:
Hi,

It is jelly bean not jelly belly, but back to your question and my answer is that it depends on the ROM that you are running for example I find that sense 4 roms lag much more than aosp roms. In jelly bean Google have added project butter so it is very likely that everything will be much smoother.
[HTC Sensation] evilmastr:
You can get better performance if you change kernel and/or governor. The lag is pretty normal with battery conserving kernels/governors.

Jelly Bean has triple buffering which makes the system run stable at 60 fps. So it will be smoother.

[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Some roms run smoother than others. But like others said Jelly Bean's project butter is in the framework of Android 4.1, so expect it to be amazingly smooth once we have an stable release.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Of course the Google new OS will be as smooth as silk!

My Optimus Black cames with v20j (Canada) and I understand that there's differences between regions like apps. But other than that, is there any real difference? I've used Spain's, Germany's, Europe's and the Philippines' roms and they all run the same.
[LG Optimus Black] claude906:
From my own experience with canadian carrier "telus or koodo".

Some of the roms seem to not get a good connection to the network,

I went as far a sending my phone for repair, rerooted my device and reflashed but kept getting cant connect to network at this time. I do beleive some one else on telus had the same issue. Can' t recal his name
[LG Optimus Black] ponygon101:
Huh, I'm on Koodo and I've had no trouble with signal on any rom. I did find that some roms don't say I'm on Koodo, but Telus. But, Koodo is part of Telus so it makes sense.
[LG Optimus Black] Pr3dator?:
Telus

I'm with Telus and since I changed my original rom from a custom one I can't get phone signal outside of town.

It's because we have the lg p970g not lg p970. We have different phone signal for our roms this is why our phone are having signal issues.

I didn't find a way to correct this problem. But is there a flashable zip for a canadian rom becaus my usb port is broken and i can only charge my cellphone and change my rom with a flashable zip file.

hope we'll find a solution someday :S

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evol4g:
you can do a lot of things to slim down MIUI

you can decompile the framework-res and delete all the unnessacary languages, delete any unused system apps, you can remove proj vex icons if they're included in the rom ect ect
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueldbr:
and removing apps does not cause instability?can i remove miui launcher after installing apex for example?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evol4g:
Ya but you could also simply disable system apps and that stops them from being used
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueldbr:
is that the freeze command of titanium backup?In that case those apps will never be used?That should free up a considerable amount of ram right?

removing languages has any noticeable impact on roms performance?

I love the design of MIUI (many awesome themes) but it uses a lot of ram and performance was worse(at least on my phone) than other roms.

With these tips it should perform better. Now im just waiting for MIUI JB=p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedje:
In a nutshell : Being on Orange France, since this morning I have no mobile data connection anymore. Voice/sms etc work..

Any other Orange france victims suffer from the same ??

Now the long story :

Yesterday a friend cam along with his Unrooted Note and asked if I could upgrade it to ICS. So I did using PC-Odin, and his Data connection was dead. (LRI XEF).

I then installed the LRG DBT that mine is running since it is out without any problem. result : still no data...

So i reverted his phone back to GB LA6 FMT (orange) and everything was ok.

I told him it must be because you are unrooted and don't want to root so you will have to wait till an FTM rom gets released....

That was the end of the story......I thought

This morning my tablet rings indicating it received an email, and to my surprise, my phone doesn't... I check my phone, and NO DATA connection...

So i tried several Sim Cards, Wiping my phone, reinstalling, nothing works...

I revert back to the GB FMT rom and it's ok...;I reinstall the LRI XEF, and

NO DATA anymore... So I think some (sorry for the bad language) ******* at Orange france has decided that your data connection will get killed if you use a non Orange rom on your orange phone with orange simcard......

So again my question, any other orange france victim notived the same today ??

Solution : for the 20th time i deleted all APN info and reinserted it manually, and for now it works... keeping fingers crossed

Hi there,

I recently sent my HOX for repairs and backed up using adb method. anyway, when I got it back, I had issues with the restore as it kept freezing numerous times but in any case, I've restored mostly everything to how it was before.

Only problem I have now is with my homescreen. I've set it up with the widgets the way I want them. But whenever I reset me phone, it always seems to revert to some other order, ie change which screen is my homescreen and add more homescreen panels again even though I've reduced the number. I'm not sure whats going on and how to sort it. Is there a way to change which is the main homescreen so I dont have to keep moving my widgets around all the time? And any idea how to get it to stay the way I set it up?

Cheers
