[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
HTC DREAM (people... please call it what it actually IS and not what it has been DE-branded to...) is a very flexible device. Perfectly capable of running the latest builds of android.

The problem that some people are having is that the manufacturer (HTC) has decided to stop supporting it. This is no different than what will happen with the GN1 or other android phones made by HTC.

And the main thing to keep in mind is that this is a PHONE, not a supercomputer. Does it REALLY NEED to be the latest super-duper over powered crazy thing? NO. It really doesn't.

DREAM is very well known, and hacked up the wahzoo. There is virtually nothing that you can't make it do. Right down to being jtag-able.

Fact is simple; if you want maximum flexibility in your phone (more important than peak performance), DREAM is the ticket.

i know its a gr8 phone!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eliphas:
It's a fair buy

I would say overall that I am very happy with this phone.

Especially with the hacks and mods that I've done to it.

Its fast, stable and looks great.

I am more than happy with this phone, (Especially since I traded a Sidekick LX for it) I haven't been this happy with a phone in a while.

I used to have the HTC Excalibur and coming from Windows Mobile to Android is phenomenal, everything is so simple once you learn and get the hang of it.

So if you have the cash and you are curious just buy it and learn the basics!

Well worth it!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raikan123:
What attracted to me about this phone is that it is able to use the keyboard( hard keyboard is obviously easier to use) to type and gaming. Moreover, the phone is able to be modded and a variety of ROMs that might suit your style to choose from.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erlern:
I would actually want to buy a second HTC Dream if I could. Seriously, if you really want to utilise your PDA phone properly, the Dream can do it all for you. However, if you really want high end gaming and more sensitive touch screen & proximity sensors to show off, then it's better to get the latest phone. I find that as it is, I am utilising only 50% of what the Dream is capable of. So I have been using it since last year and will continue on until I cannot do certain things that are important for work. Just my 2cents. :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legend221:
Coming from all different kinds of OS's, Sony, WM for many years, and finally the awesome Android OS.

Its hard to compete against it. I like the idea of a quality physical keyboard and screen. There is so much development and quality Rom releases here for our phone.

Devs know this and that is why they stay and keep doing what they do so well for all of us. Themers as well deserve much respect for their hard work and commitment.

Bottom Line: Buy a G1, you'll be hard pressed to find a better android phone at this time.
[Palm Treo Pro] objecttothis:
Would someone be willing to post a basic ROM that uses one of the newer flavors of 6.5? The older builds have problems with the alarm clocks (won't repeat correctly, and don't allow the use of MP3's) as well as use the 6.1 interface that isn't finger friendly.

This one is preferred without a whole lot of customizing but I'll take anything. The only one out there has problems freezing and I need something more stable.

Also, I've got $50 to anyone that can post said ROM that actually works with large (8GB) MicroSD cards and Windows Media Player. Since 6.0 and before Microsoft hasn't fixed the bug that causes songs to load slowly, switch slowly, and not pause ever few seconds to buffer.
[Palm Treo Pro] PJonDevelopment:
Check this thread.

I've been using this ROM for quite some time, and other than the occasional freezing, which doesn't happen very often, it's quite good.

And it's it does work with 8GB MicroSD cards, as I've one, WMP works fine and flawlessly.
[Palm Treo Pro] imzkng:
Travis, here is a 6.5 23549 rom I put together. It does have RealVGA 96dpi by default, but NO Manila 2D this time. Showcase is included along with PJohnDevelopments modified menu.....I love it! Thanks PJohn. Along with misc. other fixes for the 96dpi resolution. Let me know what you think.

6.5_23549_RealVGA.7z
[Palm Treo Pro] markcoopz:
Hi, do you have a thread open for this version ?, just for bugs etc, is it stable ?.

Thanks
[Palm Treo Pro] objecttothis:
PJon, thanks for the idea, but that lockup on Heechee's ROM is what prevents me from using it. If I didn't use the phone for an alarm clock then I would gladly use the ROM. He's got some family emergencies that he's sorting out now, so until he resumes working on this ROM I have to find a different one.
[Palm Treo Pro] objecttothis:
IMZKNG, thanks for the post. I tested an earlier version of your ROM and ran into several bugs that I posted on this thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=108971&page=2

I just saw that you released another version so I'll download that tonight when I get home and see what we get. Thanks for your work.

I have buy used xperia x1 with WM 6.1 and when i turn on on the screen appeared one MSG autorun.exe with red X but after 1 week, phone is restarting every 3 seconds so i dont know what should i do with it, this is my 1st phone with WM.

Ive read lot of post iee find nothing....

thanks in advance for help...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyth27:
try removing the microsd card. then turn the x1 on.

if it works, delete the 2577 folder from the microsd card using your pc.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shkumma:
x1 restarted every 3 second

i dont have micro sd card...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyth27:
Turn off your X1 (take the battery out for a second to make sure it is off). Lay it on a table. Press the two silver buttons left and right below the screen with one hand and keep them pressed. With the other hand, turn the phone on, but keep the other two buttons pressed for some seconds.

Now you will see a grey screen with blue text. Follow the instructions (press R on the keyboard) and try if it works now.

All your personal data will be erased in this process, but you said you just bought the phone so that will not be a problem.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudegar:
are you sure you don't have a microSD Card ?

most x1 comes with one

it's you have to open to the battery to find it

if you got a dir in root called Storage Card thats mean you got a sdcard
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shkumma:
hey

pyth27 and ruedagar,

thnx for your help, ive flash the phone with sd of my x1 before you typed that procedure for repair so thnx anyway i will try another time, and ruedagar ive bought a used one xperia and doesnt have a sd card so i used one just for flashing and everything is working perfect....
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iloveandroid:
For the 2.1 my Mac will not extract the 2.1.zip it just becomes PB(i forgot).zip.cpgz or something how can I see the contents to "customize" the leak and if i try to re-apply it will it let me
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] false_apology:
Not sure about extracting it, but if you try to manipulate any files and re-flash, I believe it will break the rom signature and the phone will refuse to flash it. I'm sure some other folks here can give a more comprehensive technical answer, but that's what I remember from reading through the threads here.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afoulke:
I believe you need to have root to use a custom rom.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastcfh:
yes u need root to flash a custom rom signed with test keys. but idk if hes wanting to unyaffs or extract the image files for building a custom rom or not. what sux is i know nothing about Mac software, so i can be no help here. except to offer him to dual bot ubuntu or another linux distro. linux in my opinion is better for this sort of dev work anyhow :p
[HD2 General] mkozlica:
Hey guys,

I have a copuple of questions concerning the updates for my HD2.

First of all, I am mainly interested in updating ROM with the ship versions, and my only wish is to be up to date.

Currently I am using the ship version of the rom 1.66.405.2 WWE edition and I think that it is the latest one, correct me if I am wrong? :)

Now for the real question, I see that in most cooked rooms the WM version is 6.5, but, when I go to the software info on my phone I can see that OS version is 5.2.21869 and manilla is 2.5.19211619.0.

Does this mean that I have some old version of the WinMo??

I will repeat that I am interested in SHIP versions of ROMs, but I would like to have the latest versions of the ROM and Win Mo...

Help? :)

Thanx
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
The latest shipped ROM is the 2.10 US T-Mobile ROM. Should you wish to use it you'll have to first install HSPL and then you can do what you want
[HD2 General] mkozlica:
Thanx

Thanks for the answer :) I have already installed HSPL as I had a German language Leo and I wanted the English one.

A question concerning the 2.19 US T-Mobile ROM, is it only intended for the US mobile networks or it can be also used for European one's?

What about the WM, do i have really the 5.2 version or I am missing something? :)

Thanks again..
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Hi. Here is my take on things. There are two types of shipped ROMS on the HD2. the ones published by HTC (1.66.4052 WWE is the latest one of these - in the UK at least) and the ones shipped by mobile service providers (apparently the new T-Mobile in the US ships with 2.10, but doesn't in the UK).

When you refer to the OS version on your phone I'm not sure how that number equates to the the Microsoft base operating system (which is 6.5 I believe, maybe there is a list somewhere that shows what the HTC OS code means). You are not out of date however for a shipped ROM.

Manilla is another name for the User Interface on the HTC (also called sense, it you want to pretend to be technical you call products by generations old names instead of the real one LOL).

Regards.
[HD2 General] mkozlica:
Thanks for explaining :)

But, can the US T-Mobile be used with the European phones/networks? :)

Can you tell me maybe what does it say for your OS version at About Phone> Software information? :)

My mission is to be up to date :))

Thanks again..
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Hi,

I think that perhaps you might need to keep (or reinstall) the radio version for your country or region If you get hold of a US T-Mobile ROM. I haven't heard of anyone installing this ROM in europe.

I am on the same ROM as you, that is the latest HTC stock ROM in Europe I believe. That comes the 2.06.51.07 Radio and I dont believe there has been any official update to that in europe.

Regards.
[HD2 General] redman99:

just for fun, i did a search for Nexus one on ebay.

most of those fools is selling the phone more expensive then just buy it at google.com for 529$ !
[Off-topic] JAguirre1231:
Most of the people buying them live in places where the Nexus is not sold through Google, explaining the increase in price (Shipping and such)
[Off-topic] netnerd:
then why dont you buy it at google.com and sell it at higher prices on ebay? haha
[Off-topic] dcarr622:
If you live in a country where buying a Nexus One would be expensive/impossible, and eBay purchase would make sense. Otherwise, defnitely just buy from Google directly. They even give free overnight shipping in the US.
[G1 General] xdviper:
Okay, I already have a fine working black G1 with a broken camera ribbon, the ribbon is a ***** attaching to the motherboard always seems to come off during install of the motherboard, and it force closes the camera app when started. But today I got a white mint condition G1 with water damage for free. The white one does not power on and looks almost brand new.

I want to swap out the guts and install my mainboard, camera, baseband, utms in the white one and use it. Now 2 concerns, would the screen and keyboard be fine?

and also when I am reassembeling how would i do the camera ribbon? its always a ***** cause it seems to come off when i put the motherboard in the brackets.

thanks guys.
[G1 General] r4d14n7:
Did you check the service manual that's floating around? Not sure if it's in there but it's worth a look if you haven't checked already.

Alright, I've managed to transfer everything from my phone onto the water damged phone except the keyboard and the screen and when connected to a charger, it lights up red led and when i take it off the keyboard lights stay on and so does the red led. it stays on.

Is it a patched classes.dex from yourself?

Did you do it with original cyanogen 5.0.5.1 rom without any errors?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RayKinStL:
Excuse my ignorance, but I rely pretty heavily on how well the developers automate ost of this stuff. If I am using the Glass Status Bar, and need to do this, can you explain how I put this in services? I just dont want to screw anything up :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
The best is, you wait until it's ready. There are two small files which must be updated in the themes.

those are called ROMs, you have to ROOT your device, apply a ROM and flash a theme that is made for that ROM. There are plenty of guides so just search.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] babaman001:
Hi there,

I have been reading abit on gaining root access on this phone and here is my progress so far:

I have a Vodafone New Zealand HTC Magic 32B running Android v1.6 with the following SPL in the fastboot screen:

sapphire unknown 32b ship s-on g

hboot-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Jul 31 2009,15:49:25

I have managed to create a goldcard and apply this engineering spl (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010 - ROM v2.53.707.2) by Amon_RA in hboot.

After rebooting, the splashscreen has changed to HTC and I now have Android v1.5. Everything went well, so I thought until I went back to fastboot to check on the SPL

sapphire pvt 32b eng s-off h

hboot-1.33.2010 (sapp10000)

cpld-10

radio-3.22.20.17

jun 2 2009,17:27:03

As you can see it is now s-off h where it should be g?

And the radio is now 3.22.20.17.

I understand I have messed up by applying the wrong SPL. I tried to fastboot "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img", it hangs at the HTC magic splashscreen.

My questions:

What should one do to obtain s-off g and the appropriate radio?

Should one:

apply a different SPL, say 1.33.2004? < I think this is a google phone engineering SPL?

Or:

Change the radio following Amon_RA Revert to 32B Radio and ROM instructions?

The whole point of me gaining root access is to store applications on the sdcard and have a clean fast ROM.

Thank you all for your help.

p.s. Please feel free to move this thread to the appropriate forum if I have posted it wrongly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sombionix:
You had to flash a 32A to your 32B device because you were using a perfected SPL, 1.33.0007. The next step would be to REVERT back to 32B.

unzip and add all of them to EXT>Diamond>common

the ereader and footprints are not needed as they are not ported or working fully yet.

enable them all and you should be up and running.

any other packages are optional and down to the individual

i would suggest using l3v5y's kitchens. very stable and easy to use.
