I did a search and didn't find anything so, I'm asking if someone could port the flashbar from the Note II to our devices. If you wanted me to help, I'll be glad to with some guidance. Thanks :D
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] spitfire2425:
You and everyone else. The problem is this is deeply imbedded into touchwiz files. So unless someone could port a whole sammy ROM this won't happen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rumblur:
Hello and thanks for reading yet another "noobaholic anonymous" post. I spent most of last night searching, and could not find what I was looking for... and the things that seemed relevant, were 2 years old. That's a century in this hobby. Sooooo....

Here's my dilemma. A year and several months ago, I rooted and ROM'd my Droid X with CM7. It was a cakewalk! But, I REALLY lusted for a HTC Inc2. So I switched to the Inc2 a year ago. Like you, I've been waiting for the ICS update, which isnt coming. So I've decided to go ahead and hot rod this sucker. I am on Page Plus, so warranty means nothing to me.

I've seen plenty of posts to downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3, I can handle that I think. And from what I've read of the various ROM's, it looks like Skyraider Zeus is the one for me. I want to keep the Sense stuff (clock, weather, calendar, notifications, phone launcher etc) but everything else is fair game.

So once I do the 2.3.3 thing and root my Inc2, where do I get the latest ROM and how do I get it on my phone? Also, I would like to try the GingerBangSense ROM and maybe CM7.2 as they get good reviews - is there some way to switch between them? Or do I have to go all the way to root and start over from scratch?

Forgive my asking the "same old stupid questions", I realize they've been asked before a million times. But as I said, the Inc2 is getting quite long in the tooth and there are a ZILLION threads on it. What scared me enough to stick my neck out and ask all these questions in this thread - is I cant find a concise thread in the latter part of 2012 or 2013. I didnt want to screw something up or miss out on something that's happened since early 2011 or whenever the majority of the threads were birthed.

So thank you again, for taking time to help someone trying to regain his sanity.

Once you downgrade to 2.3.3, and obtain clockwork, you can flash as much as you want. Skyraider can be found on the bamf forum.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rumblur:
Thanks for the replies. ANY help is greatly appreciated.

I found this thread and am planning on using it to do the S-OFF/clockwork stuff http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1219246

But there's nothing about flashing a ROM. Would you recommend a thread for that? I assume Clockwork is what I'll be using to install the ROM's?

I feel like a the new kid in 3rd grade!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenaut:
Download the ROM you want to flash and place it on your SD card

Wipe data/cache/dalvic. I haven't used clockwork in a while so I don't remember what its called. 4ext let's you wipe everything but the SD card.

After the wipe, install ROM VIA CLOCKWORK. Then reboot.

Most ROM threads include instructions on flashing said ROMS.

Good luck.

Here is a good thread for multiple ways on rooting. Because the Inc2 got software updates rooting became problematic for some for a while. Figure out what version you are first before rooting.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1751796

Once done, download a ROM onto your sd card, reboot into recovery and do the following:

- Make a Nandroid (backup)

- Wipe data

- Wipe dalvik/cache

(I format system next)

- install file from sd card

- reboot and profit!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rumblur:
Thank you all, I am now the proud owner of a fully rooted and rom'd Dinc2. If I could, I would hand out candy or liquor, depending on your age :)

At the moment, I'm running Skyraider Zeus 1.3. Of course the ROM'ing bug has bitten, so IC Tazz is downloading at the moment and I'm thinking GingerBliss may be next. I'm torn though, I like the Sense GUI but would of course like the latest updated stuff... most of the ICS based or any of the CM stuff seems to have stripped out the Sense and it all looks like my old (and ugly..) Droid X. Any recommendations or are the 3 ROM's I've mentioned so far about it?

I have one more question for you elder statesmen - I have Clockwork Recovery on the phone right now. I see a couple others listed as TWRP or EXT4, are they any better or necessary for any other ROMs? Or will Clockwork do everything I need done and best to stick with it?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brymaster5000:
Viperinc is the sexiest ROM, but has lag issues. Pacman is pretty stable.

4ext is way better than cwm and you can get the recovery control app which makes managing backups, wipes a breeze.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rumblur:
I tried SRZ, it wasn't bad but I wanted to try ICS, so I loaded IC Tazz. I like 90% of it but GEEZ is that Sense 4.0 clock terrible looking! I realize you can load Fancy Widgets and get the Sense 2.x clock / weather look, but it does not trigger the Sense weather like the HTC clock does. SOooooo..... if there is some way of getting my good ol' HTC clock/weather (2.x) in IC Tazz, I'd be happy.

Oh - the OTHER iritation - on the lock screen, the clock is such a terrible skinny font! I dont know about you guys, but I use my phone as a time piece all through the day. So I wil whip it out and glance at the clock. I'm getting older (too old..) and really miss the 2.x clock skin/font/etc.

Other than that, WOW, what a nice update.

Now about the 4ext vs CWM - I read as many posts as I felt were relevant, and TWRP sounded like the best choice. So I downloaded Goomanager from the Play store, and used it to install TWRP (according to the instructions on this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1943592 ) It did it's thing, but there's no icon for TWRP on the phone now. Part of the perk was this was touch driven and no more volume/power button launching... so now what? I'm downloading Viper right now, so I'd like to slap it on the Dinc2 and check it out before I make my final choice and reactivate this phone. (I've got it offline till I get it "right")
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ThePhantom97:
You will still have to get into TWRP with the power menu but once you are in there you can navigate without using the volume and power buttons to back up and install things.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rumblur:
In the last 24 hours I went from bonestock 2.3.4, to 2.3.3 to S-OFF to full root, to SRZ to IC Tazz, with CWM. Then TWRP went on and ViperINC went on... THEN I really lost my mind and put the 320 radio on it. Noob to Addict in 24 hours.

See what you guys created? You gotta be careful giving out all this information!

While I have your attention, and being I dont have enough posts to comment in the 'dev' area, if I should go back to SRZ or ICT, am I going to have to flash the radio? I looked ALL over and can not find a single working radio link. For what it's worth - I saw no gain from the 622 (GB) radio to the 320 (ICS) db wise.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
You shouldn't need to change radios.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rumblur:
On the ViperINC thread (the ROM), they had the radio listed right below it. Being the radio in my phone was several generations old (622) and my reception SUCKS, and (and and and..) I never flashed a radio before and I was feeling confident with my new found toys.... I went ahead and flashed it.

I reactivated the phone today, and can say the reception is not any better in the areas I usually use it. I guess it's just the flaw of the Dinc2.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
I meant you shouldn't have to change it back. Sorry for the confusion.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rumblur:
Thanks for the clear up. What about the 320 radio being ICS based? SRZ is GB based, for example... last thing I want to do is brick my phone. Today I found a possible crippling flaw in the Venom ROM - the voice doesnt work on Google Maps. I use that app a lot, so I may have to revert to GB for now.

Is the "radio" only for the phone (calls) or does it also do the GPS? Since I loaded ViperINC, my GPS does not work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
try the patch, the thread for it is in the dev section, fishing the radio should not have affected it, and radios have nothing to do with the version of android, its seperate, a firmware...

[HTC Rezound] wtw2:
First, I'm a noob.

Second, I have over 25 years of electrical engineering experience including a lot of programming (microcontrollers too).

The point: I have failed to install Nils' Business ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6.

The phone is an HTC Rezound with no SIM card and no service. No phone number, etc. It was a Verizon phone at some point.

What I did:

I followed: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508118

1) I installed the RUU -> Download the 4.03.605.2 Global RUU: >> MD5 = bcdd450501e390ce323a46b396cd0a49

It worked fine and it seems to run fine.

2) I unlocked the bootloader.

It worked fine.

3) I installed Amon RA from: www(dot)mediafire(dot)com/?nie2w1ei0phhhup

It worked fine and it seems to run fine.

4) I installed -> Version 6.3 >> MD5= 74602137511fac84b78200028c67bb69

The install stated that it completed properly. Very few applications were selected.

I tried both S-on and then S-off. I re-locked the bootloader before installing the RUU each time.

Do I need to do a full wipe following installing an RUU?

If so, what EXACTLY do I need to wipe?

There are MANY choices for wiping in Amon RA.

I did try wiping dalvik once.

When can the USB be connected during this process and when must it not be connected?

Does it matter where the Business sence ROM zip file is located on the external SD card?

I tried it once in the root folder of the external SD. Otherwise, I located it using Amon RA.

Everything seems to work fine until the final reboot into Business ICS Sense, where the phone never gets past the Business ICS Sense bootup screen. I have waited at least 10 minutes. Longer sometimes.

What am I doing wrong?

This can't be all that difficult. Are there some obvious steps that I have skipped?

Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] mike7728:
i always do a full wipe whether im coming from a ruu or a rom, after i flash a rom i always go back into recovery and one:remove the. zip and wipe cache and dalvik cache before i boot a rom up. u need to make sure your rom. zip is on the removable disk drive. never had any issues with doing it this way.

REZOUND-S-OFF-VIPERREZ - SNUZZO 2.3 KERNEL...
[HTC Rezound] delacerda:
After installing the ROM (choose S-ON), reboot into the bootloader. You need to flash PH98IMG.zip in the bootloader. It's pretty straightforward. Just follow the on screen prompts.
[HTC Rezound] wtw2:
The ROM was on the external SD card (removable drive).

After I install the RUU, I move it into a folder, so it is no longer in the root folder.

I found two Amon RA files. Both supposedly version 3.15.

One is 7087KB (MD5: 9d127cde10b68de5e424aaea2d4a4357)

the other is 7074KB (MD5: 915d5e3cb662076f36f3d6e54759e951) for the img file.

Which one is the right one?

In Amon RA are the following wipe choices:

Main level: Wipe ->

Wipe ALL data/factory reset

Wipe /data

Wipe /cache

Wipe Dalvok-cache

Wipe /sdcard/.android_secure ???

Wipe /boot (most likely not this one)

Wipe /sd-ext (obviously not this one)

Wipe /system ???

Wipe battery stats (probably not important)

Wipe rotate settings ???

Wipe Sdcard (obviously not this one)

Wipe Internal_sd (obviously not this one)

Toggle Ext Full Wipe

Which one(s) should be selected?

Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] wtw2:
I did that.

It didn't work.

That is why I tried S-off too.
[HTC Rezound] wtw2:
Unanswered questions

Can someone comment as to which selections above should be chosen for a full wipe for ROM replacement?

Also, should it be done before installing the ROM, before booting the ROM, or after?

The directions seem to indicate before installing a ROM -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508118

Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] cslingerland:
Wipe data cache dalvik boot and system for a clean install. If you're s-on don't forget to flash the kernel or it won't boot
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Yup, after rom install make sure it reboots to boot loader then hit power to install kernel
[HTC Rezound] wtw2:
Confirmation requested

What an honor to have NilsP reply. I was hoping for this. Thanks for the pointers. Now if I can only understand what I was told to do.

I should install the Business ICS Sense S-on, NOT S-off (no reason given). Neither has worked for me yet.

In Amon RA do the following:

Wipe Dalvik-cache

Wipe /boot (please verify)

Wipe /system (please verify)

Should this be done before installing RUU?

And also before installing Business ICS Sense?

After installing Business ICS Sense, make sure that the PH98IMG.zip file, which was created at root level during the Amon RA install of Business ICS Sense, is run automatically by the bootloader (the same way the RUU gets run)?

If NilsP or another expert would confirm these steps, it would be greately appreciated. I have tried to be specific, and the answers seem vague to me. When you don't really know exactly what your doing (like me), detail matters.

I have tried to get this done about 6 times now with no success.

Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] wtw2:
Success! Thanks.

This is what I did:

1) Re-lock bootloader > fastboot oem lock

2) In Amon RA >

-wipe data/factory reset (ext SD card removed)

-wipe cache

-wipe dalvik cache

-wipe boot

-wipe system

3) load RUU in bootloader > PH98IMG.zip in ext SD root directory

4) Initialize the OS settings (first boot)

5) Unlock the bootloader > fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

6) Install Amon RA again > fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img

7) In Amon RA again >

-wipe data/factory reset (ext SD card removed)

-wipe cache

-wipe dalvik cache

-wipe boot

-wipe system

8) Move RUU out of root directory, move ROM into root directory

9) Re-install ext SD

10) Back in Amon RA > Business_ICS4.0.3_Sense3.6-v6.3.zip in ext SD root directory

Flash ZIP menu > Choose zip from sd card > choose Business ICS Sense ZIP file

Options:

S-On

Standard Launch Bar

All HTC skins

Apps: Flashlight; MyVerizon; Voice Recorder

saved log file

11) Rebooting & holding breath

Success!

It appears that the wipes were required. Googled wipes to see what they did for safety before doing them.

Thanks all.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Great

The most important wipe is system since my install does the others.

[HTC Sensation] cleonjones:
I have had my phone about a year now and I had it rooted, S-OFFed and running a custom ROM within an hour of getting it. It took me a while to notice since I never use WiFi but I have had several ROMs such as CM, ViperS, HyperMIUI, Elegancia and the only issue I have had is that no matter what I could never get WiFi to work for more than an hour.

I have used WiFi fixes found on the forums several times, tried turning WiFi on, rebooting and it connects and everything is fine for about 10 minutes and then the phone reboots over and over again until I turned WiFi off. Other times it wouldn't even turn the WiFi on it would just get stuck at "Turning on..." I have reinstalled my ROMs several times, flashed new kernels I believe I changed the radio once even and nothing had fixed the issue.

Tonight I got sick of this issue so I unrooted the phone, flashed the stock T-Mobile US ROM and then S-ONed the phone. Now I have had WiFi on for about an hour, it connected instantly and has been loading pages and Netflix with no reboots. I really don't like the stock ROM and would like to use custom ROMs but I'm not sure what to do. I was hoping the problem would continue on the stock ROM so I could warranty it and fix the problem.

What could be the cause of this?
