OK, I'm not planning on using any stock ROMs, as I don't like the Sammy stock ROMs. So I'll flash 9.xx?

RR, CM, PA, ROOTBOX. all custom ROMs?

If they ain't the phones stock ROM then its a custom ROM? Regardless if its based on stock android.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
So if you gonna use custom yes just use 9.xx

Cm aokp pa are custom roms.

Hybrid rom like alliance which is custom stock rom. Uses stock base but has aokp type features uses dormanx 8.xx to run. You need to read more about roms mate.

One more question, haha sorry.

When I do kernel and ROM clean. Which order is best?

ROM clean - install ROM - kernel clean - install kernel

ROM clean - kernel clean - ROM install - kernel install

I'm guessing because I am cleaning and installing everything without booting in between it doesn't matter?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Rom cleaning script then flash rom

Reboot.

Bk to recovery then kernel cleaning script then flash kernel.

Reboot.

I bought this phone off craigslist. It was locked to bell so I had it unlocked to rogers. When it boots up it says not for resale!

about phone says :

Is their any chance to update or did I get screwed?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Kifranky:
Anyone with some benchmarks yet?

Would be nice to see the difference between:

1.) Intel XScale Bulverde @ 416 MHz found in the Magician

2.) TI OMAP 850 @ 200Mhz found in the Wizard

Also, a comparaison of the battery life would be handy.

Cheers!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] edsub:
I am very interested in the actual performance of the Wizard against ie. the Himalaya.

Of course the cpu is TI and not Intel, but 195/200MHz instead of 400Mhz should make a difference. I can hardly believe the Wizard performs same/better than Himalaya.

Can someone post his/her experience and or bench marks?

I am more than happy to show my benchmark, if someone points to a tol that does test well

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

Edit: Just googled & found this on http://www.gsmarena.com/i_mate_k_jam-reviews-1278.php :

the TI OMAP 850 processor that HTC uses in this phone has an ARM core, not an Xscale like like the Magician's Intel processor did. If you look at speed tests ARMs run at around twice the speed of Xscales, so this phone should be about as good as the JAM processorwise (Don't like how we only get 64mb of ram though). For details on the OMAP check out TI's site

http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wt...00&path=templatedata/cm/product/data/omap_850

JBenchmark 2 figures: http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/image/htc/tornado/jb2.gif found on http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/htc-tornado-en.shtml

========

Looks like the OMAP chipset (=more than an ARM926 CPU) in the Wizard at least acts faster than the XScale found in the Magician

Could anybody please help me?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Bacanalia73:
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and looking for some answers about my phone. I am NOT a tech guy, but I rooted my Sprint HTC Evo 4g LTE recently, because I wanted to use my 32 Gb SD card to partition off 4 Gb of memory and turn it into more RAM. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to make that work (anyone know a current, up-to-date walk-through for that procedure, I would be grateful). But I am now interested in finding a way to cure my phone of the hideous stock splash screen and boot animation, without flashing a new ROM or whatever. Apparently, from what I can gather, the new 4g LTE's boot directly from the "boot image", so if you change out the SPC_bootanimation (for example), or rename it, when you reboot, it reboots from the boot image and not from the files that were altered. This sucks. There must be a workaround for this that does not involve a noob like me trying to mess around with flashing a new ROM. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Check the Themes and Apps section
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Bacanalia73:
No luck

Could not find a post that addresses this particular issue. What I need is someone that knows what they are talking about to tell me if flashing a new ROM on my phone is the ONLY option, if I want to change/remove the stock boot animation/splash. I have tried several different methods, but no matter what I try, when I reboot all the file alterations I make are removed, as the boot image is used to mirror all "system" files.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
There should be some boot ani zips in Themes and apps and most likely the reason they won't stay with the ani you pick is because HTC has made it harder to modify our phones by locking down the ability to write to system.

As for the splash screen you need to be S-OFF to change splash screens.

S-OFF will most likely fix the boot ani from changing also

Bigdaddy to the rescue
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Bacanalia73:
OK, please excuse my ignorance . . .

Just so I am completely clear on the process of installing your boot animations -- I have a rooted (S-ON) HTC Evo 4g LTE, Hardware Version 0003, Software Version 3.16.651.3 71ORD, Android Version 4.1.1, HTC sense version 4+, HTC SDK API level 4.63, PRI Version 2.97_003, PRL version 25015 (I list all of this information because I am not really clear on what is relevant to this particular issue). Now, am I correct in my understanding that if I download the list of plug-ins you provided, and then download the animation zip file (and I am not clear exactly where I need to place this file after I download it), that is all there is to it? Do I need to download Cinema4d, or any other program to make this work? And how does this take care of the problem of the phone rebooting from the boot image and replacing the bootanimation.zip I install? Every time I install bootanimation.zip, when I reboot, all my work is erased with the original boot image. Does one of these plug-ins take care of this problem?

Thank you
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jocarog:
Yo need to get s-off to do the changes that you want, since you are s-on and running 3.16 that prevents you from making any changes to the system, just Google about that issue and you should find lots of info about it, flar2 found a way to bypass that and and with his Kernels allowed the s-on users to do things like what you are trying to get done, go get s-off and you should be able to change anything you want on your phone without any issues, since you are on 3.16 look for moonshine in the original development thread for this phone... And... Good Luck!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Bacanalia73:
Thanks for the help

OK, from what I can determine, the Moonshine procedure for S-Off on my HTC 3.16 is beyond my technical capabilities. I do not understand several of the steps involved in the walkthrough, so that probably means I should not be messing around with it. And if I understand this correctly, with the phone rooted with S-On, I will be unable to download any updates to firmware/software that HTC might release in the future. And in order to unroot my phone, I need to get S-off. So, I guess I will just suck it up and endure the hideous boot animation, since apparently I have no realistic option that does not involve jumping through absurdly elaborate technical hoops just to change my boot animation (which is exactly what HTC was counting on when they designed 3.16, I am assuming). And when the new updates come out for my phone, I will determine if they are worth learning the necessary technical expertise required to S-off my phone to unroot and download updates. If any of you experts find any of this to be inaccurate or otherwise incorrect, please feel free to educate me. I am a stranger in a strange land with all this android/Linux stuff -- my tech world has always revolved around Windows.

Thanks for all the help guys!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jocarog:
Moonshine is windows friendly as far as I know, you just have to use cmd as an administrator and its fully automated if you have the right drivers, just read the op and follow the instructions to the dot, you should be able to do it, don't be scared, there is nothing that you can break that someone in this forum can help you to fix! Good luck!

Sorry if this has been already answered but i recently got my dad's htc sensation..yesterday night i unlocked bootloader...and with S ON flashed HD REVOLUTION 7.3 Rom

but i have doubts

1) can i use same method to install other roms like VIPER ?

2) Do i need to S off or i can continue with S on

3) which rom is best for multimedia like photos and music ?

4) How can i install JB ROM..do i follow same method as i did with HD revolution ??

Pardon me for my bad english
[HTC Sensation] MrJukeHardbane:
Yes. You can flash any ROM based on same firmware without being S-Off. You can flash ViperS JB Rom with the same method. Just enable smartflash in the 4EXT recovery and if get stuck in bootloop. Flash boot.img via bootloader. Happy flashing :)

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e

Thanks a lot :)

what do u mean by SAME FIRMWARE ??

can i lash viper now ?

and which rom is best for music with equalizer ?
[HTC Sensation] MrJukeHardbane:
If you're on 3.32 or 3.33 firmware then you can flash ViperS JB ROM. ViperS 3.1.2 does have some kickass music options and tweaks. I don't know which one is best but ViperS never disappointed me.
[HTC Sensation] saint_diablo:
Thanks once again

and my last Question is how can i flash JB ?
[HTC Sensation] sivsankar:
Just enable smartflash in 4EXT and follow the earlier method.

Sent from my HTC Sensation XE
[HTC Sensation] MrJukeHardbane:
Just download the ROM zip and put in your SD card. Boot to recovery and enable smartflash. Wipe data and all partitions except Sd card and flash the zip from recovery. If you get stuck in bootloop then just extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and flash via fastboot. And before doing everything just make a nandroid backup.

it doesn't matter if you are on S-ON or S-OFF

you can flash any ics or jb rom with 3.32 and 3.33 firmware version

which rom is easy on battery ?

Because HTC had very bad battery backup..HD REVOLUTION is good on battery !!

it is always depending from your personal usage and what settings are you planing to do(min/max cpufreq,gpu overclock,undervoltage etc)

you have to see it by yourself and judge accordingly

do i need to download Kernel changer from ViperS rom thread ??

viperS rom and every rom has kernel including in it

so when you flash the rom the kernel will be changed too

by the way specifically in viperS 3.1.2 rom only one kernel is compatible and it is the one including in the rom

no other kernel works with this rom

You can also try reverting to stock with one of the odin or Heimdall unbrick packages after a complete factory reset and wipe.
