Okay thanks for the reply, So can you help me out because I don't know where to start as far as adding a new rom. Do I need to re-flash to cricket after adding a new a new rom or will the flash still work and its just replacing certain things? SORRY FOR DOUBLE POST!!!!
[Droid Eris General] jcaf77:
power off your phone, once off, hold the volume down key while you press the power button if you see a recovery menu telling you, reboot, install from sd card, wipe etc.. then all you do is wipe the data and then install the rom...

but the main thing is to know that you have root access and recovery image
[Droid Eris General] mainecrab:
It will not erase what was written with QPST but the proxy will have to be setup again. I use many roms and just run the same setup for getting the proxy on there working.
[Droid Eris General] Puxxie:
Okay I know that much, how do I now if I have root access and recovery image?
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
jcaff77's advice is missing a whole lot.

YES, Before you flash ANY ROM, boot into Recovery (power off your phone, then power it on with Volume Up + Power) then go to Backup/Restore, then do a nand backup.

THIS way, you can ALWAYS go back to the flash that you're on. The guy that gave you that flash has NO idea what he's doing, and shouldn't be charging people money to flash things. Tell him he's basically a hack and a con artist because the information to do this is FREE and ALL around the internet. Tell him you're never going to ask for his help again, because he didn't really help you, he just took your money.

Anyway,

I posted a full tutorial that token419 from HowardForums put together to do this to ANY ROM. Your phone will stay on Cricket in general through flashing ROMs, but to make ANY ROM work FULLY on Cricket, follow this:

(from http://androidforums.com/all-things...ully-cricket-root-reqd.html?highlight=cricket )

Requirements:

Rooted Rom

Autostart (Root) from android market (free)

u2nl.zip from white rabbits site whiterabbit.org (hit Android stuff at the bottom, then get the pre-compiled Droid binary - Eris is included in that file)

Following Brandon's Guide and replace the internet portion with the steps listed below

Step 2. Setting up

What you need: u2nl.zip from white rabbits site whiterabbit.org

install Autostart (Root) from android market

Unzip the u2nl.zip to your androidsdk/tools folder so that u2nl and autostart.sh are in your androidsdk/tools folder. (use the autostart.sh that's in the Eris folder, not the one in the Droid folder!)

adb shell su

(look on phone to push 'Allow' or 'Always Allow' if it pops up - if not, then move to the next line)

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd /data/

mkdir opt

chmod 0777 /data/opt/

chmod 0777 /system/bin/

exit

adb remount

adb push autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh

adb push u2nl /system/bin/u2nl

adb shell

chmod 0777 /data/opt/autostart.sh

chmod 0777 /system/bin/u2nl

reboot

click always allow on the prompt to allow the Autostart app to run at system startup

Reply or PM me if you need help with it especially. Go ahead and flash a ROM with it. If you can't get all of this done, your phone will STILL WORK, just not all the apps, Browser Only. For a temporary Browser Only fix, just download AnyCut from the Market on your current phone flash, use AndroZip or ES File Explorer or IO File Manager or ANY program that can 'back up' apps, to back it up, then flash the NEW ROM you want, and Market won't work (until you do the instructions above). Again, to get Web to work, make a shortcut with AnyCut > Activity > Proxy, and click the Proxy shortcut you made. Set Proxy to wap.mycricket.com port 8080.

Like I said, I'll follow this thread, so just reply if you get stuck on any of those steps.
[Droid Eris General] Puxxie:
@pkopalek thanks..yeah I had a feeling he didn't know what he was doing and he was just trying to get paid. Well I'm going to try what you posted for me now and will be back to post mt status or PM and THANK YOU for you help I appreciate it.
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
Yeah, just write back, I'll see it for sure. I did this to my girlfriend's phone, and many others, for free.

Enjoy.
[Droid Eris General] jcaf77:
this is funny:D
[Droid Eris General] .mak:
You'll also want to make sure you extract your telephony.db from /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ to maintain MMS functionality with a new ROM, since the ROMs you'll use will probably be built for Sprint or Verizon.

You'll need RootExplorer on your phone to go to the above directory -> copy -> paste to your sdcard. Restore it to the same directory once you're new ROM is installed OR download and setup AndroidSDK (google it) and use adb to pull the file;

adb remount
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db

The file will end up in your /tools/ directory of the AndroidSDK.

Once you're new ROM is installed, you can use the SDK to push it back as well;

adb remount
adb push telephony.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
adb reboot

That should restore MMS to your phone once you have the new ROM installed :)

[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
Actually, APN Backup & Restore already does this job.

If you use mak's way, you won't be needing APN Backup & Restore.

Both methods will work perfectly well.
[Droid Eris General] .mak:
Was APN Backup suggested previously? I didn't notice if it had been, sorry.

I also can't speak to the validity of a program I've never used, but I suppose it would be much easier for the OP to use that than adb.

[Droid Eris General] token419:
you can follow the guide here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=675652

Use the zip to flash from recovery that i created, there are 2 zips, one for just internet, and one for internet + MMS, some say the internet + MMS doesnt work, which is why i provided just an internet one as well.

As always make a nandroid backup first and have fun.

Since your phone is already flashed, disregard all the QPST stuff and simply look at the setting up web/mms portion of the guide.

The zip for MMS + Web works great for me, but your mileage may vary :)

Good luck and have fun :)
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
The MMS flashes the APNs, but the APN has to be specific for your phone number on your device (in my experience), so I wouldn't expect MMS to work for anyone but you, Token!

I'd stick with editing the APNs to get MMS working, but thanks for the internet patch!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ajosim83:
hi,

currentlly i'm still using winMo 6.0, i want to upgrade for futher version. Should i upgrade my phone from 6.0 directly to 6.5 skipping the 6.1 version?:confused:can it be done after performing hardspl?bcoz i want to try 'cooked' rom 6.5.:rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
It is not necessary to upgrade first but..............................

Since all of the " good " spl's (3.34;3.29;3.56 ) are 6.1 spl's, it is a good idea to upgrade to 6.1 before unlocking and flashing a new spl.

It is also necessary to flash a stock rom before flashing a cooked 6.5 rom. This wiull save a lot of problems later

[HD2 General] mdskrzypczyk:
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem. It's nothing that's going to kill me but it is a little irritating. When I hit the shutter button, the camera doesn't immediately take the picture, there will probably be about .5 to 1 second of lag in between pressing and actually getting the picture. If this is normal then fine tell me. If there is a fix I would appreciate a link to a fix or an explanation on the fix. Thanks.
[HD2 General] chvvkumar:
AFAIK that lag is the auto focus kicking in every time the image changes in the live preview....i wish there was a way to keep focus at infinity and leave it there permanently.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
There is a way to turn off that delay...I just can't remember what it is :(

Whatever it is, I've done it, because I don't have any delay between when I touch the shutter and when the image is captured. I could have sworn it was a setting in HD2Tweak or BsB Tweak, but I can't for the life of me find it now apparently. I'll let you know if I recall, but it's out there, I promise
[HD2 General] mdskrzypczyk:
Thanks I'll keep waiting. I have BSB Tweaks and there's nothing about camera delay, and it can't be the auto focus because I allow the camera to autofocus THEN I take the picture and that delay shows up.
[HD2 General] DeoreDX:
I guess coming from other auto-focus smartphones, G1, TP2, Blackberry, etc the autofocus lag on the HD2 is so incredibly fast compared to all others I've never even noticed it.
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
I Agree......
[HD2 General] mdskrzypczyk:
so there's still no fix... ahhhhhhhhh oh well -.-
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
i haven't done any tweeks and there is no delay unless I'm using the flash...
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
there are 2 ways to take a picture

press and hold

this will focus then capture

tap quickly

fast capture
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Jimmy, you're a cotton picken' genius.

So yeah I tried it and that's obviously the difference. For anyone who's curious, I just took the same picture 10 times, 5 with the fast capture, and 5 with the focus then capture, and honestly neither way was consistently better at getting a well-focused picture :rolleyes: Try them both, see which works better for you, but I don't think it really matters which way you choose

Theres a lot of things that Verizon is not aware of. The majority of their employees probably don't know the difference between a leak, a root, and an OTA.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3s-rt:
If your market is not there then you failed to flash the gapps.

You need to flash those AFTER CM5 or BEFORE. I've heard it works different for some people. First time I flashed it, it was before. Now it's after. o.O Before and after won't hurt.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brios86:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
Are you talking about DroidExplorer? I have it installed on my 10 year old Dell and it is definitely a 32 bit machine. I'm assuming you are talking about something else.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
You can use busybox if you have the latest CM ROM installed which you do. Busybox is included in the ROM so you can run busybox commands from terminal.

Put the apps you want to install on the root of your sdcard just to make them easy to find. Once in terminal, su so you have a # symbol

Then

busybox install /sdcard/yourapp.apk /sd-ext/app

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
Well that makes sense considering Droid Explorer requires root...According to your post on the first page, you are seeing an exclamation point when booting into recovery which means you lost root access by flashing whatever it is you flashed. Time to start all over again.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
It seems pretty clear that you don't really know what you are doing when it comes to modding your G1, and it is also pretty clear that you aren't willing to listen to directions.

I told you that you could batch install applications through Droid Explorer and you blatantly ignored my directions then said that it wouldn't work because you have a 32 bit computer.

I then gave you directions on how to use busybox to install the application that you wanted and never got a response regarding whether you even tried it or not.

You responded further into the thread saying that now you are getting an exclamation point when booting into recovery which MEANS THAT YOU DON"T HAVE ROOT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Installing adb and getting it working isn't going to do anything for you as far as installing applications because you lost root access which means you don't have the correct permissions to do anything anymore.

I gave you the link to an updated post on rooting so either do that or update this thread with where you stand exactly. Can you get into recovery? Is it an exclamation point? Can you launch the terminal app? When you type "su" do you get a # or an $? Does it say permission denied? ETC ETC ETC
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3s-rt:
My whole point with the no market is if he would have flashed the gapps or found another way to get them he could have installed a file manager then installed the app off his sdcard.

This was a 1 - 2 minute procedure that he has not made an hour/s procedure.

I agree with droidexplorer, I use it quite constantly. However, if he would have correctly installed CM5 this issue would have never arisen.

As for OP, I strongly advise that you unroot and stick to stock. If you cannot successfully do this, there is a high chance you are going to brick and it's just not worth it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brios86:
this is not the first time i try this i have a understanding of what i am doing, for some reason i decided to try another sdcard and it magically booted fine, now the gapps link doesn't work for me, so i am trying to install astro threw terminal emulator (astro is on the root of the sdcard) so i can just install the rest of my apps

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Maedhros:
I am a Happy X10 User, coming from the HTC Magic. At first, adjusting coming from the Magic to the X10 was hard, I liked SO MANY THINGS about the Magic that the X10 didn't have (in terms of software). And then I started playing around with Timescape and Mediascape.

WOW! Timescape is absolutly useless.

On the other hand... Mediascape! GREAT APPLICATION! Sony should have ditched timescape, and only gone with Mediascape, as timescape acts mostly as a reader.

What they need to do really is allowing editing/replying right inside timescape. For example, you read a message in timescape, yet you have to go to another app to reply to it!??

Timescape reminds me of TouchFlo3D on WM early on before HTC learned what consumers wanted.

What does every1 want from Times/Media scape in 2.1?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] arcticreaver:
timescape needs to do everything twitter and facebook can do. or at least 85%. i'm talking about re-tweeting, mentions, direct messages, post pictures on twitpic and facebook, upload videos within an update, etc.
