I figured I would share this with you folks....

Buddy, I can't remember what year I first had internet but I was at least 15 when I started. I'll be 33 this year... all those forwards we now get through facebook, whatsapp and so forth are the same ones I used to get back in the day. Before hotmail was what it is today. ICQ was what messenger is/was and before that we had geocities and a lot of IRC rooms (which I never did like). And yes, dial up was the bomb or whatever slang you kids use today.

Edit: heck, cstayton in the blackout ics thread once talked about his nostalgic memoirs with some other chap. Those are real old timers.

How to get to Updated pst #7?

I'm new to this site, and not sure how to navigate.

I'm trying to S-off an UK HTC Desire HD, A9191, Ver 2.3.5, S/W 3.13.161.5, HBoot 2.00.0027, so I can use it when I return to the US in a few weeks.

I have researched this issue for three days and have yet to discover a method which works.

I'm looking for a a pdf link to aahk manual.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I'm guessing you used SuperOneClick to root ? I wonder how much I could get one off eBay ? I really don't like Motorola motoblur though..you say descent specs ? I'm guessing 8mp camera and its dual core right ?
[Desire HD General] GuyInTheCorner:
@Gizmoe, @all, you thing the Droid Razr Maxx HD would work in the UK (they don't sell it here but I really want one now (I was saving for the OG Galaxy Note, but forget that!)
[Desire HD General] Gizmoe:
I haven't actually rooted it yet. Just changed launcher to nova cause I too don't like moto blur. With nova though it looks like aosp jellybean. Yeah its 8mb camera and 1.5. ghz dual core with 1 GB ram. The battery life is what sold me though. This thing lasts forever.

From what I looked up the bands in UK are 1800 and 900 gsm which the phone does support. They have a micro sim but not sure if the phone needs any unlocking.

better screen resolution and ppi
[Desire HD General] bosas200:
I want smoother experience. So i should choose the Xperia?

Sent from my HTC Desire HD
[Desire HD General] pitastrudl:
I'ts your decision.

IMHO, you may have smoother experience with it for a few months, then updates will roll out and there are more possibilites with bugs and so on. But rooting and rom flashing will become a pain, since you only have 10 threads open on XDA on ROM developlemnt. But you do have quite better specs. But still let that not be a huge criteria in your decision, as rom flashing can be a different priority with different people. Oh, and Galaxy s2 has 28 pages of threads open in rom development, so theres alot more to choose from. That i am speaking from my perspective, since im a flashoholic :p.

So its still pretty much the same criteria.

-Choose s2 if you want a slightly older phone, but run great ROMs froma huge selection. So you'll have smooth experience for a lot of time.

-Or choose xperia T, if you trust sony with almost flawless updates and/or a small pallet of roms avaliable to fix/smoothen your experience.
[Desire HD General] xZeroMancerx:
I never could stand the motoblur look, or touchwiz for that matter but if i had to choose one. It would be touchwiz...well you got me interested in the phone, so ill check it out on eBay

[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
It truly depends on the target user.

If the target user is me, and if I didn't get Arch as an option, I would look into Slackware because I've heard that it's lightweight, minimalist, and simple. I would also look into Gentoo, because I've been vaguely wondering what it'd be like to compile an entire OS, but I doubt that would get very far.

If the target user is one of the two kinds of beginners, 1. someone looking to get their feet wet in Linux, or 2. someone who has no interest in Linux and just wants an OS to surf the internetz, Linux Mint. It generally works right out of the box and has all the basic necessary software (browser, music player, image viewer, yada yada), so it's not going to give either type of beginner a heart attack on boot. It's got a default GUI (Cinnamon) that I find intuitive, perhaps because it's Windows-like. It uses apt, which is a package manager that many distros (namely Debian-based distros) use, so if the user later changes to another distribution it'll be useful. It's fairly fast, and I've found it to be faster than Ubuntu. And for beginner type #1, someone looking to get their feet wet in Linux, as with any Linux distro, the terminal right there, to be used as much or as little as you want. How much you want to turn to the terminal, and how much you're willing to Google stuff you don't know how to do from the terminal, is a good way to gauge how Linux-interested you really are. And it installs just fine on older hardware, which I do sometimes for grandparents who only want to read emails from their grandkids and watch YouTube videos.

Why not Ubuntu? I'm not a huge fan of the direction it's going: the Unity GUI, the commercialization, the everything-to-everyone purpose. Also, I've just personally happened to have not very out-of-the-box experiences with it so far (wifi not working, X not starting, graphics drivers getting detected incorrectly); they're not normal problems that most users would run into, but they have colored my personal impression of the distro.

If the target user is someone who adores Apple Mac's GUI styling and wants to try something similar, though, Ubuntu might actually be a nice choice. I do need to give Ubuntu credit for innovation with Unity.

If the target user is a server, Debian. It's rock-stable. But note that it's not exactly a great desktop distro.

If the target user is someone who absolutely wants to get comfortable in the terminal, Slackware (well, and/or Arch, but that's not allowed right now). If you're really a diehard, don't install X; just install elinks (or any other terminal browser) and start searching for answers from the terminal. Nothing forces learning like necessity. And if you do install X but still want to just get dumped into a tty, then (like on any Linux distro) CTRL-ALT-F1 (or F2-F6). To go back to X, CTRL-ALT-F7.
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
Lovely MissB.

I just spent great part of the day delving into different distros (slackware, bodhi, opensuse) and a lot of google. From all I did I learned this: I have no idea what I'm doing :D

I'll share my experience later. My mind is too spent right now.

However, regarding the usb issue and for those that don't know, when you use a usb stick to boot a linux distro (each distro has a different way of getting it to work - several distros using the same or a similar method but others very different ways which require some work), the usb stick becomes un-usable afterwards. You can either run a bunch of commands in the terminal - which didn't work for me (remember, no idea what I'm doing), or simply do the easiest. Boot into windows and format from there. :banghead:

[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
MissB, I spent the day reading up a bit on linux and I'm starting to get a feel for it (perhaps now you can have an itching feeling of pride for your young padawa as he slowly creeps into the crevices of the wondrous world of open software). Everything you have tried to share in the past is finally starting to click, but it is hard to remember everything you have so generously taken your time to explain. I guess it comes easy when there is love for any given subject and those willing to listen, even if some of those (me) are hard of hearing at times.

Where will I go from here? It will all depend on which links are pressed and how far I'll get lost, as we have all probably experienced what happens when we keep clicking and opening tabs, one thing leads to the next and we are reading about mustard seeds when we had started searching for cats in boots.

For those starting off in linux, I would recommend LinuxMint 13 since it feels a bit faster than the newer 14 release (tough, it is prettier) and of course, as what others and including MissB have said, LinuxMint is a good distro for noobs and experienced users. But, you'll be able to go through the below links to get an idea about the differences in distros and a few links regarding this or that.

P.S. MissB, in the past you have given me several helpful links regarding this and that, stuff about terminal, commands, scripting, can't really remember what it was. And I don't mean the last one which was about Linux file permissions, if you remember and don't mind.... thanks.
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
I see Openbox! Great window manager! It comes with LXDE by default, and it comes with ArchBang by default; also, it's very commonly used as a standalone WM. I used it exclusively for months until I switched to tiling WMs.

As for other links, I can't remember any important ones off the top of my head (other than DistroWatch and that recent Lifehacker beginners article). I probably just quickly Googled stuff to answer your specific questions at that time and checked if the instructions were right according to my knowledge; then if they were, I linked you to them.

I'm glad you're getting into it. I love Linux, and seeing new interest grow just fills me with glee. :)

With a S-ON Unlocked Bootloader, is there a limit to what type of rom I can flash (aosp, cm, ported roms...)

I flashed MOONRAKER v3.0 and it's working fine, but I want to try something with HTC Sense, like Blackout. Is this possible? Or will it bring me to a frozen splash screen?

BlackIce is just pure awesomeness.

You have an app that simulates the same thing, but it was kind of buggy, not sure if its fixed now. Anyways, i just think anything newer than GB can be reliable. I've had problems with ICS/JB ROM-s alot of times, when i needed my phone to work properly. With blackICE, that reliability is sealed in.

GB is becoming obsoloete, but by my standards it still stands on firm grounds, when we speak of stability and performance. Mike from ARHD mentioned something about obtaining the ICS source code from HTC. But dont get your hopes up. He said he is trying his best to get his hands on it.
