@VoLoDaR1: Your urls are identical ;) I guess this was meant to be the second one.

@GearX: Before you can flash a replacement boot screen you need to replace your SPL with an unlocked one. I got mine from Modaco. See this thread. NB this is for the GSM Hero.

The boot image is just a screendump so 320x480 pixels. You can use this tool to convert an image to the required format.

Flashing the image can be done via fastboot: fastboot flash splash1 splash.raw565

See the Custom Splash Image thread.

As with all flashing, be careful, don't interrupt the process etc etc... you don't want to brick your phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GearX:
Thank you. I think I already have a unlocked SPL... Is there anyway to check if SPL is modified or original? :o

*EDIT*

I already flashed it several times but I can not remeber if I did the SPL thing :o does flashing require a modified SPL? Then I already have it ;)

*EDIT2*

Well I think I have it cause on my Fastbootscreen are 3 skateboarding Androids ;)

I tried this manual: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=467064

but there comes an error (see attachment) :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cauli:
Go into the bootloader: adb shell reboot bootloader

Read the top line. It should end in S-OFF if you have an unlocked SPL. I imagine in your case it reads S-ON & that's why you're getting an error report.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GearX:
You were right cauli! :) I did the SPL unlock and it worked. Very nice thing. Here's my Bootscreen ;)

Hi guys, I'm having issues connecting my HD2 as a disk drive - the computer doesn't seem to pick it up. Has this happened to anyone before? Any solutions? Thanks

I have 2 computers one works fine with disc usage but the other one wont but if I sync it and browse through mobile center it works fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Armadillo123:
So, I'm running Cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1 but I always think it's a bit slow. Maybe it's all the widgets, installed apps or often having mp3's playing in the background but I can't help thinking that the original ROM was much faster.

What can I do to improve speed?

I'm running TasKiller but that alone doesn't really speed things up enough.

For music, I'm using Meridian player, but perhaps there's a faster player out there?

Is it worth installing any of the 2.1 ROMs or should I wait for the official release or is that even likely to be slower than Cyanogenmod?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] koreancanuck:
A couple of things you can do. You can use an application called setCPU which is for root users. It allows you to modify how the phone is run e.g. it can run from 128MHz to 528MHz depending on your preference. 528 will give you the highest performance. There is a min and max for them, and I have 384 to 528 usually.

Instead of taskiller, I use advanced task manager. Kill some processes as well. I like it better at least.

My recommendation is use superD or FastTest. They are, in my opinion, the fastest ROMs out there. A lot of Eclair ROMs are stable as well, but not as fast as the donut ROMs.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Armadillo123:
Thanks.

I've always thought that setCPU didn't make a difference, cause it's Magic is already running at max CPU in most ROMs. If not, how come it's mentioned so rarely around here? Surely it should be one of the most popular apps? :confused:

I've never heard of Super D or FastTest til you mentioned them. Might be worth a shot, although I'll have to admit I'd prefer not changing ROM all the time. When I first got the phone I tried loads of Sense ROMs but they all seemed either unstable or slow, or both. I think I'll read up a bit more on SuperD before having a go.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tnpapadakos:
dont really have any other info on your setup except its a 32B....why not give us some more info in your signature, like:

what size and class SD card you have

whether you have swap enabled

whether you have compcache enabled

whether your sdcard is partitioned, and how

IMHO u dont need setcpu, its already written in to CM for the cpu to be 528-384

you could try:

JIT http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=637419

the swap userinit.sh http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5342507&postcount=577

and the lowmemory killer minfree approach (which i prefer instead of "task-killers" which are just another app running) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=622666

and of course, the all important 10 MB RAM Hack http://www.absolutelyandroid.com/10mb-ram-hack-for-cyanogenmod-version-4-2-15/

CM should be nice and fast for you on a 32B, best one I've found so far
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Armadillo123:
"what size and class SD card you have

whether you have swap enabled

whether you have compcache enabled

whether your sdcard is partitioned, and how"

SD card is class 4, 8 GB I think.

Yes, swap enabled. Can't remember the exact details regarding how the SD is partioned. Anyway to check that?

Don't think I've got compcache enabled. As a matter of fact, I've never heard that term before.

That 10 MB hack sounds interesting. I'll give that a shot. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] koreancanuck:
I actually use setCPU profiles to save battery as well. When the screen is turned off, I have it set for almost minimum.

SuperD and FastTest have 10MB RAM hack versions so you don't need to install it on your own :P I don't thnk JIT hack is necessary for these ROMs anyways.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] FHL09:
I got this just do as I do on my magic

Cyanogen is good for tons of features & I respect Steve (the ROM developer) for the ROM but for full speed & stability on a 32B Magic I suggest going by my signature as a guide.

I'm using Meridian player also & find it the best but Mixzing or Tunewiki is faster Mixzing has a little more then Tunewiki though but Meridian player is the best overall for the features.

OK in regards to ROMS, flash a new one all this talk of setcpu & stuff merely provides a quick fix but doesn't help in the long run (at least in my experience on a 32B Magic).

In fact here...

Download Dwang 1.17.1 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=567023

Add style & download Pays Black Elegance Theme 1.1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=608412

Backup your apps & stuff & do a nandroid just to be safe.

Now proceed to enter recovery like your about to flash a ROM (as soon you will be ;)) wipe all that can be wiped (use Amon_RA Recovery for that) & flash Dwang like you did Cyanogen

Load it up (first start up is the longest), set up & when you hit the home screen power off your Magic & then switch it on into recovery like you are gonna flash a ROM (there it is again).

Flash Pays Black Elegance 1.1 Theme (NO WIPE!!) just flash over Dwang once that is done reboot & then try it for a week & report back here with your verdict :)

This is what I'm using & have been for over 2months now & I don't see me switching anytime soon as I can't find anything that is éclair that is like this ROM.

YES its 1.6 but it is super sweet for a 1.6 & personally for me it beats those 2.1 ROMs (which are good don't get me wrong but they ain't no Dwang)

ROM Stats

121 Apps installed

15-25sec wait on home screen load at times but not always & that is only cause I use like 12 widgets & filled 4 of the 5 screens with icons to applications.

10MB Hack is on this so 3D Games are a little laggy otherwise overall the best ROM i have used & only 1 random reboot but I kinda caused that running a whole heap of stuff like 30 processes at once haha.

Anyway let me know your verdict I hope my tip helps!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] aldaris652:
From my experience, super d 1.10.2 was, by far the fastest rom i've ever, used i havent messed with swap or compcache, but super d truly gave me that wow factor when it came to my phone, only downside is that it sorta ate my battery real quick, and i changed back to 1.9.3 wesgarner kernel, which is pretty quick too :D...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Super Jamie:
Use Dwang 1.17.1, buy CacheMate from Market and clear your cache weekly.

This is the fastest I can get my 32B to run. I've tried Super D and CM, they are slower in my opinion. Dwang includes 32Mb compcache by default which seems to be the sweet spot. I've never played around with swap on SD card.

I use the default music player with Pure Music Widget. I used to use some other music player with "genius-like" functionality and all that rubbish but found it to be too slow for my liking.

Make sure you do the build.prop edits for HSPA as per this thread.

Hi.

is the usb connections menu appearing when you connect the device to PC? (on your TD2..where you can choose between Activesync, Hard Disk mode and Internet sharing..). USB connection used to work and stopped after something was installed? Try to reinstall Activesync or Windows Mobile Devices Centre in your PC (depending on you OS) or, as a last resort, hard reset your phone (backup your stuff !). I would also try to connect it to a different pc, just to be sure..Be also sure that the following options in Start/Settings/Connections/Usb to PC are:

Activesync [checked]

Fast data synch (or whatever it is) [checked]

Put a checkmark on the last option if you want this menu to come up every time you plug the USB cable.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MirQoo:

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] MusikMonk:
It probably wouldn't work, but you can try it using the kernel (zImage) from the wing-linux project (link in my sig).

You'll also need to change the mtype in the default.txt file to 2392 which is the mtype for Opal.

I just use Titanium Backup of the market and you can then just uninstall all the sense stuff & any of the HTC stuff you want, make sure you do a backup of each one you uninstall just incase you keep getting fc, then you can just reinstall it.

I have the paid version of Titanium Backup.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] MartijnGP:
You can remove Rosie, but it will just clear your homescreen and leave (most of) the other Sense thingies intact.

To do that, run this:

adb shell
# su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# mv system/app/Rosie.apk system/app/Rosie.apk.bak
# exit
# exit
adb reboot

I don't know if this is going to cause FC's on other apps though. Iff so, run the same, but switch the two arguments on the mv commands to put it all back to how it was before.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjung1:
Ok here it goes...

Ive come to the conclusion by having no luck with my previous thread which was asking how to fix " the usb is not recognized" after trying everything known to man and reading every thread that this is kind of a grey area. If your problem isnt obvious ie: debugging off or new usb cord etc... then ur sol ? I say this because the people who know their stuff are extremely detailed and make insanely great write-ups.

FTW can anyone explain or knows how to do this:

Fix the phone so that I can have full usb function ie: when i plug it in the comp wants to install drivers and the phone gives me the option to mount?

If not can someone tell me what choices I have???

To give some info my phone started this after (dont judge why i did this like this lol) installed freshhh 2.0b then the new radio then the new....heroc recov(from reading all day and night im guessing its the recovery)

also the phone will boot in heroc recov and will boot in fastboot but NO ADB sigh. and to take the cake me being frusturated seemed to break the cardinal rule no nandroid backup sigh sigh. basically i just want the usb back in action and fresh 2.0 w/radio. im sorry about the long post but im losin my mind over this.
