ooops. forgot to give you my question.

Current specs

============

ROM version A.30.09 ENG

ROM date 01/01/04

Radion Version : A.20.10

Protocol version: 324e4

Model PW10B1

OK,

So i've upgraded, removed my lock, and installed a custom ROM.

What are the best options to have for each feature?

I've read many posts that prefer the A.30.09 ENG ROM as the best for the SX56 / Wallaby. Many seem to be disenchanted with the 2003SE anyhow.

What is the best radio Stack to have? My reception is VERY poor compared to my Motorola V400 phone here in Florida and at times throughout the day, i get no signal.

What is the best leather Case to have?

What is the best GPS receiver to have? I've read the infatuation here a couple of years back with the RadioShak version that was sold for $29, but it is now discontinued.

I appreciate all the work many here have done over the years to keep this great lil product alive and hackable. It was Lumps kitchen that got me to buy a PDA phone and I intend to support this forum and his kitchen now and in the future.

thanks.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] orateam:
wow, not a lot of responses here.

Well i've continued on and now have good results. Here is my personal log of things i've done.

I have found that the best ROM is the 4.01.12 O2 euro ROM.

I have found that that the best RADIO is the 6.24.02 tmobile

The best GPS is the TOMTOM. bought one from ebay for 29 pounds (50 american). Make sure you disable IRDA as it uses the com1.

The best GPS software is the TOMTOM, works without slowdowns of any kind.

The best games are by PDAMILL

MY GPRS used to barely work until i got the new radio, now it's flawless.

MY reception was dropping. With the new radio unit, while the bars don't indicate better reception, i don't get anywhere as many drops. And one thing i find cool about the SX56, even with 1 bar, it sounds as good as 5 bars. So as long as you are still on the network in any bars, you should be better off.

PocketZen is cool, it restores the features that most cell phones have, the ability to have custom phone settings for work, outdoors, meetings, etc.

Sprite backup is cooler. It will save all your custom software changes. I have made about 30 hours of work in setting my PDA to my desired settings. with this software, i can install a new ROM and restore my settings within 5 mins. Only software that i have to re-install is TOMTOM

Okay so I have been trying to get some custom kernel for Team Canjica's rom With OC and tweaks but no luck, no matter what kernel i use the phone doesnt boot up or if it does then i get a message "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped". Yes i wiped everything, did clean install, even pray( xD) but I cant manage to get this work. Any help would be appreciated, ty!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Little Zed:
Did you unlock your bootloader? If so, try flashing kernels from fastboot and boot up CWM and flash the ROM back :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seaclean:
Hi there. I am throughougly enjoying my Xperia Z (an upgrade from iPhone 5). The only thing I miss from iPhone was that while I was riding my bike, I would be able to speak to Siri and request her to play specific songs or artists for me on the go. I can't seem to get this feature to work on Android.

What I'm looking for: A feature that with the press of a button on a handset/headset enables you to talk to your phone and request it to play a song.

Can this be done?

Thanks.

Hi All,

I've just tried to root my htc one x (international). using the All in one toolkit V3.0 [7-16-2013

I went through step 1 to 5 (unlock bootloader) with no problems. I perm rooted and flashed TWRP but now I'm stuck!

-On the bootloader screen, I select Hboot > recovery.

-It loads the 'teamwin' screen and I see all options (install wipe etc)

-Problem is that the touch screen stops working. When I hit the power button it just tells me to 'swipe to unlock' which doesn;t work either.

I searched for solutions online but cant find any. Anyone got suggestions? I hope I've provided sufficient information.

Thanks
[HTC One X] Stefan0vic:
Search for a thread with philz recovery, touch not working is because of an update that HTC put out.

Try and flash philz recovery :)

And more important.. make a nandroid backup! It will safe you so much hassle
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
http://db.tt/SPXdFfPw :thumbup:
[HTC One X] Proach:
Thanks a lot Stefan0vic. Sorry if this is a dumb question but should I download Philz software and then Flash it using the 'custom ROM' option in the all in one kit?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
No you probably need to rename the file to recovery.img and flash it just like you did with twrp.
[HTC One X] Proach:
Great, I'm gonna try it out tonight, thanks a million guys.
[HTC One X] Stefan0vic:
Good luck!
[HTC One X] Proach:
Gentlemen, it worked! Thank you so much!!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Always good to hear that ! :D
[HTC One X] Proach:
Hey Guys, has any of you got experience with installing roms through Philz?

Firsly I tried Cyanogenmod and although I got it to boot, it keeps crashing when I also install GAPPS (literraly unusable as I keep getting the error (unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped).

I therefore decided to give Viper a go, I cleared all cache/reset to factory reset. First I flashed the boot.img from viper through the all in kit ( I connect my phone to laptop in bootloader > Flash Custom rom). Then I reset into bootloader and boot philz .img so I can get back into philz < am I doing something wrong here? I cant think of another way to do it!

From Philz, I install the viper zip file. It starts up the wizard, but then halfway through installing it restarts the phone and all I see is the HTC one X loading screen.

I've now wiped it again and installed cyanogenmod without GAPPS for the time being, but I cant download apps as I dont have the playstore.

Any advise on how to fix either CM or Viper would be appreciated. Again, I did search but couldnt find any help on the combination of Philz and any of these 2 customer ROMS.

your help is much appreciated!!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Viper rom :

Flash the boot.img !

Inside recovery :

Factory reset

Wipe cache partition

Advanced-wipe dalvik cache

Mounts&storage-format cache,data,system

Then install zip from sdcard and choose the viper x rom.zip

If the installer stops halfway it could be a bad rom.zip download !
[HTC One X] Proach:
Thanks Hofs. When I flash the boot.img from the viper download package, it doesn't seem to bring me into any kind of recovery screen? Am I missing something?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Flashing the boot.img is done with the phone in the bootloader.

Try this :

Put the phone in the bootloader, copy the boot.img to the folder on the pc that contains the fastboot.exe file !

Then hold down shift and click the right mouse button while pointing in the folder with the fastboot.exe file.

Then select :

Open command window here

Then type there :

Fastboot flash boot boot.img (enter)

Fastboot erase cache (enter)

Then enter the recovery and do all steps i posted earlier :)
[HTC One X] Proach:
Right.. I think I'm missing one vital piece here

I don't have such a folder? Should I install the fastboot application first? Any chance you can give me a high level overview of how to use it? So far I've done everything using Philz and the All in one toolkit for the one X..
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
The all in one toolkit must have a folder with the fastboot file otherwise it can't work. Look inside those subfolders and do all steps i wrote from there
[HTC One X] Proach:
Ok there seems to be a fastboot.exe in the data folder of the all in one. I shall try this later when I get home. Thanks again chief!
[HTC One X] Proach:
Ok so installed the ROM, i can see the viper custom wallpaper but the touchscreen has stopped working again :( any ideas?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Sure you flashed this one

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2087443

And not the "old" 2.6 ICS version ?
[HTC One X] Proach:
Feeling like a right idiot! I used an outdated link from a video tutorial. All working now!! Thanks SO much again Mr hofs much appreciated!!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
No problem ! You learned and tried and now it works :thumbup:
