[HTC Incredible S] Splintre:
Hi guys,

I have now succesfully unlocked, rooted, downgraded from HBOOT 2.02.0002, S-OFF'ed, installed BlackRose 2.02.0002 and a custom ROM.

MIUIv4.0 seemed to have a lot of glitches with apps (Touch Input and Maps) crashing frequently, no mobile network despite entering APN etc (do I need a certain version based on my provider?), and no WiFi. I have then installed Nik's Codename Vivo app, which works well except the WiFi and I have to reapply Swiftkey on boot. Otherwise the experience is incredibly smooth and Google Now seems very promising.

I've learned a lot in the process, and it's been fun flashing both through CMD prompt and through recovery. I was so proud the first time my laptop told my phone to do something hacker-ish. Continuing off the success, I'd like to play more around with the phone so I want your input on what I can/should do next? There's probably a lot of things I don't know that I don't know.

I have been doing some stuff in Tasker, which was fun. I am eg. now reminded of anniversaries and my Spotify app opens whenever I plug in my headphones. What I know that I don't know here is that I'd like to make something cool with Tasker and Ivona, I just don't really know where to start?

Any other ideas? Anything regarding tasker, customization (how does launchers exactly work? i tried a few back in the days and they seemed to slow performance a lot?) , flashing radios (are they any different? if so, how?) and whatever else, really. I'd really like to learn the full limits of what can be done both on an Incredible S and android, before eventually moving to another phone and perhaps WP8 so I can truly appreciate the differences.

I'd also like to take the opportunity to ask if anyone has ideas as to how I get the WiFi to work? I did flash the JB WiFi fix and it didn't work.

Lastly, if anyone is sitting on an Incredible S, have updated the software to the newest version and would like to mess around with it, feel free to ask away though I'm no expert. Also, I bought 4ext for downgrading but used Revolutionary for upgrading. How would I go about making 4ext interface my recovery screen again?

This is quite addictive, and I am now frequently checking for updates from Nik doing Codename on a different kernel, anything on CM10 and other stuff. So I'd also like to say thanks for a great community. Phew, I guess this post is a bit all over the place.
[HTC Incredible S] Endoclusian:
There are lot of stuffs present on Main Android development forum of xda..that will help you..

and for anything else you wanna know Google is your friend...;);););)
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
As for replacing the Revolutionary/CWM recovery with 4EXT Touch, you can simply flash the new recovery image in FASTBOOT USB mode using the command:

fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img file]
[HTC Incredible S] CyanideJack:
Miui v4 is still very buggy at the moment. I run the 2.4.20 GB build which I find far more stable and quicker. No Google now, however.

Never had an issue with Wi-Fi on codename, but found that my data never turned back on after I turned office Wi-Fi.

Have you downloaded Titanium backup yet? A must if you plan on flashing a lot of ROMs. Otherwise SetCPU to overclock your processor, and AdAway to get rid of those adverts in apps.
[HTC Incredible S] Splintre:
Thanks I'll try that out, downloading the recovery file now

Edit: Worked, cheers!
[HTC Incredible S] Splintre:
Sweet. Well, the WiFi just never really boots up. I press "on" and it just starts loading, eventually the indicator will be switched to on, though with no colour filling (usually ON is highlighted in cyan)

I have an app called AdFree - is it any different from AdAway? I've yet to try overclocking, so I'll make sure to check it out, thanks!
[HTC Incredible S] LamboBull:
Also,

For ur current rom, y dont u use nik project x? It has literally no bugs and it is android 4.0.3 and sense 4.0...

As for radios, they control all the bluetooth, wifi and gps signals, so if u flash a custom radio, u can get either really good reception or really bad. That depends on the radio. Beware as flashing a custom radio has a high chance of bricking so flash only if confident.

Have Fun!

[HTC Incredible S] Splintre:
Thanks a lot for your reply!

I flashed Codename because it was a jellybean ROM and because to my understanding getting as close to pure android as possible would enhance the performance of my phone. Though I guess with a custom rom (Codename) it's not pure android anyway.

If the radio controls WiFi and GPS, can my WiFi problems be due to a suboptimal radio in the codename rom?

I won't be able to use Google Now with Project X, will I?
[HTC Incredible S] CyanideJack:
Codename is pure android 4.1 JB with a few tweaks on top.

The majority of bugs in all the JB based ROMs are due to the fact that we don't have the right kernel for jellybean ROMs available for our devices yet. People far smarter than me are working on it, but it's slow going.

As far as I'm aware Google now didn't come with Project X.

AdAway is the same as AdFree, but is better in my opinion.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cuppachoc:
Hi all, first post!

I rooted my phone for the first time a couple of weeks ago and loaded up Blackout ICS v3.0.0. Loved it. Upgraded to v3.1.0 last night and still loving it, but noticed the Photo Album by HTC widget (2x2) does not work correctly where it did in v3.0.0

On 3 of my home screens I have this widget, it gives me some photos of the family and allows me to link into different folders to get photos and generally break up the icons and other stuff.

The full screen widget works fine, i.e. you select a picture to display on your home screen. The widget when clicked displays it, but if you then press the picture you get to browse the other pictures in that folder.

The 2x2 widget - you select a picture to display on your home screen. The widget when clicked displays it, but if you then press the picture nothing happens.

This definitely worked in v3.0.0.

As I'm a n00b and don't have many posts I can't post in the dev forum, so thought I would ask the question here. Is anyone else able to recreate this behaviour?

The conductive tip of this stylus simulates a finger touch, tap or swipe to provide a full touch screen environment without leaving a single fingerprint behind. Within its attractive design, the shirt pocket clip allows the Stylus to be stored in a pocket or it can be clipped to some carry/protective cases. I want to get a stylus to speed up interaction and leave those messy fingerprints behind. So I find 2-in-1 Universal Capacitive Screen Stylus from http://dx.com/s/STYLUS+PEN Most stylus pens feel cheap in the hand, feeling to light and not actually like a pen. But this one has come out with a stylus that FEELS like a pen. It is heavy enough to feel durable in the hand and not hollow or plastic like most. It is good not having finger prints on the screen thanks to this awesome product!

Hello everyone

I want to buy a budget tablet and of so much research i have found two tablets in my budget

1. Ainol novo 7 tornados

2. Ainol novo 7 advanced 2

The screen size, processor and most of the hardware are same and both run ics. The only difference is that Advanced 2 has a allwinner a10 processor and tornados has amlogic. The allwinner is based on cortex a8 while the amlogic is based on cortex a9. The following site compares them but i am confused that if a8 is better than what is the use of a9. Isnt the cortex a9 successor of cortex a8

Actually i cant post link because of restriction so do a google search for allwinner vs amlogic and click the link of "slate 4 sure blog"

Please recommend me that which one should i buy and is the comparison true.(i.e A8>A9)
[General Questions and Answers] Playdoe:
Hey...

Hey...check this website out. i don't know why XDA developers haven't dug into everything Ainol since they're cheap and powerhouses. i would suggest you ask there but in my experience the a9 is a successor and it's much faster. here's the lnk http://www.slatedroid.com/forum/341-ainol-amlogic-cpu-devices/ and there you have all the devices. unfortunately the Advanced 2 is in the upper thread since it's a bit older! I got my Tornados for only 71 USD off of ebay and it regularly ranges to 100 USD...so if you gotta spend the extra couple of bucks for newer software ..then why not...if i helped press the Gracias ( thank you) button
[General Questions and Answers] cognus:
if I could relight this one briefly so I don't create a new thread: can one of you more knowledgeable guys explain to me: for a single core Cortex-A9 implementation like an AW or the AGPtek / WM8850 unit, does it matter much how generous internal memory is? 512mb sounds like enough for such simple design but I do not yet understand how the memory controller manages memory especially to feed the graphics processing unit. for the little cost, i'm prone to want to go "more is better" route: 1GB of internal...
[General Questions and Answers] vikas.mishra:
Are both tablets with the same AP? If not then more may not necessarily be better. Let me explain - if one of them has a dual channel memory controller, pick that even if it has lower memory. The reason is that in case of dual channel memory controller the arbitration overhead is lower so memory fetch latency is lower for all components.

If they both have a single channel memory controller, pick the one with the 1GB RAM. Hopefully answers your questions.

As far as how the memory feeds the GPU - usually it is the other way round. It is the GPU that fetches the data from memory. The implementation is very different from GPU to GPU and therefore from AP to AP.

This rom is already pre-rooted :D no need to flash any thing as we generally do in stock roms.......

I think you have flashed some superuser.....so i think you need to re- flash the rom-(***do make a clean rom flash asper rom developer***)

Now after rom instal just instal root explorer......

Now as soon as u open root explorer a menu popup will apear it is just like superuser pop up ...(only the diffrence is this pop up will apear for 20sec...and contains so many warning message all u need to click next every time) (****refer attached images ****)

After this step you can see root folder .....

For every application which asks for root permission. U need to do this .....

Is your phone on Gingerbread, Android 2.3.x or ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich), Android 4.0.x?

Hello there.

I'm in a bit of a trouble so I need some help. I've bought an S2 for my wife from a guy (in Ireland).

The phone was locked on Vodafone so I tried to root it maybe I'll be lucky to unlock it with out paying nothing. So, the phone is on Gingerbread with a BUKJ3 kernel. I've downloaded last night a CF root but by mistake I took a KG3 instead of KJ3. After flashing with Odin 1.85 I got stuck on the boot screen with the yellow triangle.

This morning I've downloaded another kernel as in KJ3 flashed with Odin, the phone is starting but no network coverage, I tried with different Sim cards but nothing so I went in recovery mode and wipe/format data, system, dalvik and cache as factory reset as well. Since that moment the phone won't boot, it gets stuck on the boot screen and yellow triangle.

I can go in recovery mode and download mode with no problem but I can't make it start.

I reflashed the kernel, I don't know what to do and tomorrow is my wife's birthday and I was trying to surprise her with a nice phone but instead looks like she is gonna get a brick ( I hope not)

Thank you guys for any help.

Then uk/ire XEU (or vodafone or whatever..but unbranded better)

Then youll see a list about firmware version and their release date
