[HTC Desire C] me4488:
Hello and welcome to this thread.

Here I will answer some of the most common issues related to this phone.​

Q: I installed Nameless ROM v7.2 and...

A:

Change now. Its extremely outdated. Swap either to any CM10 ROM, Sensational V4, or Revolution. They are the most recent so far.

Q: What are the bugs in CM10 ROMs?

A:

Instant messenger voice messages;

Wi-Fi Hotspot.

Q: My WiFi keeps disconnecting.

A:

>Download this app

>Start the app

>Click on any of the non selected behaviors (Default or On During Sleep if plugged)

>The app will close

>Open the app and click on advanced options

>Enable workaround 2

>On the main screen chose Always on

>The app will close

>You are good to go

Q: My phone is stuck in a bootloop, what do I do?

A:

Did you install the correct kernel? NOPE only works on CM10.

Did you try a lower frequency?

Did you do a full wipe when installing a new ROM?

If the answer to all of these is yes, message me on Facebook so I can assist you.

Q: Can you implement [Name a thing] in your kernel?

A:

Help me find the patch and I will.

Q: How do I install a ROM/Kernel?

A:

Please read this carefully.

Q: What is the best ROM/Kernel

A:

There is no such thing. It has been mentioned a lot of times that this a dreaded question. You try and you chose the one that appeals to you the most.

Q: My battery doesn't last as long, what measures can I take to increase uptime?

A:

If you are aiming for battery life probably the most effective way to do that is by turning off WiFi, and MobileData when you are not using them (pretty logical isn't it?)

Get an app called Greenify and hibernate most of the apps that are recommended. Play services, Facebook and such are not necessary processes in the background. They will drain battery. So that will suspend them until you start the given app.

I recommend /not/ using taskers or triggers. The simple fact of having an app scanning the state of your phone, detecting the conditions and completing the task uses more battery than you doing regular maintenance yourself.

The only exception I can add here is SetCPU. Get it. And make profiles. Night mode and Screen off are a must. Just note for regular screen off don't set it lower than 300 or it might make your music stutter in case you are listening to any.

Use your battery wisely, don't waste it on games/internet if you are going to need it.

Buy an emergency charger online. I am probably going to do this soon.

Q: How do I unlock my bootloader?

A:

Follow >this guide< It's pretty detailed and has pictures and green stuff. Automatically better than anything I will be able to post here.

Note: Using a toolkit will damage your learning process. I recommend not doing it that way. You will be needing the experience later on.

Q: How do I flash a ROM?

A:

Download the desired ROM and save it to (a folder in) your SD card.

Reboot to your preferred recovery.

Make. A. Backup.

Please.

Wipe Dalvik, Cache and Data. Or factory reset, I have been sticking to the same ROM for a long time, so I kinda have forgotten. NOTE: This will delete your apps and settings.

Locate the ROM and install it. Proceed to puke some rainbows.

Make sure you have the correct kernel for the rom. You CANNOT use NOPE kernel for Sense ROMs.

Q: How do I flash a kernel?

A:

You need to have ADB. I will assume that you have it already because you have your bootloader unlocked.

Download the kernel and place it your platform-tools folder.

Reboot your phone to bootloader.

Connect it to the PC using the cable.

Open a command prompt (Hold shift and right click inside the the platform-tools folder (Not on any specific file, just inside it) and click Open command window here)

Make sure your device is recognized. (One time is enough)

fastboot devices

Erase the cache. (Optional but I do it anyway)

fastboot erase cache

Flash the kernel.

fastboot flash boot [File name].img

Where you replace [File name] with the name your kernel has. For example if your kernel is named boot800 the command will be "fastboot flash boot boot800.img"

Copy>Pasted this part and changed some stuff. Not even sorry. :P

P.S. You can suggest FAQs and I will add them ASAP. It's still a WIP.
