[Desire HD General] pitastrudl:
agree. this is my simplified criteria

HTC One

+good camera

+good build quality

+good screen

-unibody

-no sdcard

-worst repairability

so over the One i chose the S4:

+removable back

+sdcard slot

+good repairability

+lots of features

-camera has a quite narrower field of view than the One

-plastic body

Even though samsung focused too much on the software, i still cant make the compromises with the One. its gorgeous though.
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
Build quality is gorgeous to the hand...but is it fine for the GPS? Samsung devices have amazing GPS antennas. To me the GPS reception is one of the most important features. Aluminum has a bad track record in the market...that is why Asus had to change the Transformer primer TF300 for the TF700, had to put plastic in some areas to improve gps reception as it was not fixing at all.
[Desire HD General] pitastrudl:
The two lines on the back of the One are actually molded antennas to the body. so there would be no problems with the radios such as nfc,gps etc.
[Desire HD General] GuyInTheCorner:
Yeah, everyones is chilled..

Heh, I'm the only person that I know who isbrooteez and I know a fair few 'hackers' lol.

On the debate of Sammy vs HTC, I'm siding with Sammy. Better hardware, much, much easier to root and generally nice communities. But on the other hand, HTC's look sexy as hell and have a warm, welcoming community, like this one!

I've sold my Xperia Z, waiting for the cash to arrive in PayPal, then I might be seeing G in the Note 2 forums ;) :D

The HTC one has me amazed but why are they sacrificing having no sdcard expansion slots ? I can't get either phone anyways, can't afford buying one straight out.... I'm getting the s2 skyrocket, its an upgrade for me that I'm sure will last a while..I saw on eBay that s4's are fetching 700-1000
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
Yeah Baby...join us in the N7100 forums!! lol. Actually my Note 2 is stock except for the root. The stock firmware is really amazing and I don't think a custom roms will provide something better. The device is still new and might even updating to Android 5.0, so I guess that root is the only thing I need just to backup my apps. I am not even using a custom recovery as Sammy has placed a binary counter on the devices that checks everytime that boots the recovery and kernel to find if they are custom...
[Desire HD General] pitastrudl:
but isn't there a way to reset that counter? afaik lots of Samsung devices are able to reset the counter.
[Desire HD General] GuyInTheCorner:
Soo, mi hermano, soon :D

I've tried stock TouchWiz on my tablet, when I've taken my mum's phone & when I (very briefly) owned a S3 but I didn't like it (TouchWiz, not the S3 lol) so I might flash something else.. Myeh :D
[Desire HD General] glevitan:

Could anyone help me find a way to sim-unlock an LG - P970h?

This is the only tool I've been able to find http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2137840&highlight=sim+unlock, tough, I don't feel comfortable using it.

[Desire HD General] GuyInTheCorner:
Yeah.. I'm sure someone will do some voodoo magic on it and make it buttery smooth (like Sense 4 Lite)

S2 is a great little device with an amazing community (got my gf one for her birthday/Valentines Day). What's your budget?

Wicked! I got a triple boot set up.

Win7, mint14 kde (to be my dev enviornment once I learn enough) and crunchbang (which is what I'll use to learn about linux).

Slowly, I'm getting there.

Sent from a dream.
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Very nice! How do you like #! (crunchbang) so far?
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
Wifi isn't working :D

I finished the install at 5am so I'll be taking a look at that shortly.

The installer was easy, straightforward as long as I took my time reading and crossing my fingers for the parts I didn't understand. With #! the recomeneded way is via usb, vs all others that say Dvd (?). However, I did notice the difference using a dvd and the usb for #!, the install process responds better (is smoother) via usb.

I went with openbox (thats the one you use?), it's different from the other gui's. Still need to get used to it, but thats why I chose #! - so I can learn all those nifty things about linux.

My plans for today are:

Change the bootloader / grub.

Fix the wifi.

Install sdk/adb in mint.

Have another cup of coffee (java).

Think about my ex and feel good we aren't fighting.

In the words of Joey from the tv series friends: how you doing?

P.S. I've been reading the #! forums a bit, they are just like us :beer:

Also, you guys seen the Revolution ROM? Looks SLICK!
[Desire HD General] pitastrudl:
Finished a 2600 word seminar about customization of android which was due till sunday evening, and i explained like 10% of the stuff that could be done. if i did not delay the whole week, it could've ended at about 5000 words, but its anyway not that important , since our IT teacher doesnt know much about android. i made a flashable script that installs an apk, to get more points.

And today i had one part of one out of 5 final tests. we have 9 years of priamry sschool and 4 years of high school and the 5 finals on the last year of high school which include the knowledge from the past 4 years. had to study so much, i couldnt even go out for a cig, i just bought some snus.

tl:dr wrote off an important essay, which was quite hard.

I've been keeping my eye on it... I've been running Pipe's AOKP ROM for a month or two now (I think espmartin is maintaining it now that pipe is working on Revolution) and I love it...

[Desire HD General] xZeroMancerx:
Where did you start on that essay about customization ? Did you dwell on the basics of android rooting or was it all customizing with things like uccw, minimalistic text,etc....ha,maybe your essay should be made into a sticky because I can't tell you how many times ill see a user asking about uccw hotspots
[Desire HD General] pitastrudl:
its in slovenian language :/. I basically went over the basic modifications of android such as replacement of launchers and so on, only thing covered of rooting was the theme manager and a flashable zip since i was out of time.

i stayed writing the essay on Friday. the other final tests are in June and i have to simultaneously study to pass the last year to be able to finish the finals. i have never been so deprivated from sleep :D

Its not a dumb question or noobish really. I've seen v10/v20 basebands before but it pertained to LG optimus one concerns...the signal was slightly improved in the different versions. In the early days of lg optimus development,ROMs used v10 series basebands but after gingerbread was released and revised they started using v20 series basebands..Changing basebands was a ***** sometines . you either had to use LGDMP v1.5 or KDZ which more than often gave you a brick..I'm not sure if anything I said made since

[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
No. I'll do some research but currently I don't have the device.

I flashed several roms after fixing the issue. The last one was cm10.0 but the touch sensitivity was off... I couldn't type. Flashed the backup of a german 2.3.4 (can't remember the letter, if it was V20b <---- the letter) but it does see the baseband and the IMEI SV (didn't mention that in the post) which also was not showing correctly. So that pretty much threw me off again.

Currently I won't have the device for 10 days.

[Desire HD General] xZeroMancerx:
Ahh, so my assumptions about LG devices was right...are you familiar with LGDMP ? and I bet that device was easy as hell to root ? Gingerbreak v1.2 or SuperOneClick ? I bricked my p500 when I pulled the battery while switching from v10 to v20...that was using the LGDMP tool..a lot of developers were using v20a,v20c for ROMs but I see you said something about v20b ? I know on some occasions the IMEI can get wiped while using LGDMP but I might be giving you wrong information as its been a year since my p500 was stolen....

As matter of fact, I believe the p500 had cm7.2 before HTC I4G,which is odd considering my I4G was actually an upgrade that I bought from some girl for 80 bucks...I swore that I'd never go back to any LG device but after doing some reviewing on nitro, optimus g,optimus black and 2x. I might get another LG device...

Go to the LG Optimus One,P500 thread and look for a user by the name of Rasheed97 (spelling). He was the primary developer for cm10 on the OpT...I do believe he might of dev'd for the OptB as well, if not try seeing what Popdog123 or bytecode has to say about the touch sensitivity. I don't think you'll find bytecode so you'll have to do some soul searching b4 you find his new account but I do believe he still goes by bytecode ?

Now the revskills site has been taken down for good, there is no chance to create goldcards as before, so I was thinking about using the goldcard exploit in the Hack Kit to create an script that does that automatically. Otherwise, devices that are not supported to update hboot won't be able to unlock the bootloader and root. What do you think?

If that is ok with you, we should return your device to stock and S-ON first.

I'm gonna have to sell this sucker ASAP. Part of the condition that I got the S3 was that I can't root and that I must sell my DHD. Your idea sounds great, I couldn't have said it better. But unfortunately I have to get rid of my Desire HD :(

I'm really gonna miss this guy when he goes, its been a great run. I've had everything from Froyo up to JB 4.2.2 on this guy, even HoneyComb (a random drunken flash from a shady site). But, alas, I need an upgrade :(
