[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Archon810:
Hi guys,

I spent most of today finalizing this guide that I've been writing for the last 2 weeks (on and off) and it's finally posted.

I know rooting, custom ROMs, Nandroid, and other flashing business can be confusing, especially to beginners, so I usually try to make my guides detailed, thorough, and noob-friendly (I call it "I wish somebody showed me how to do this crap when I was getting started" series :-])

Check it out and tell me what you think: [Complete Guide] How To Flash A Custom ROM To Your Android Phone With ROM Manager + Full Backup & Restore

The other guides you may find useful from the same series:

Custom ROMs For Android Explained And Why You Want Them

Rooting Explained + Top 5 Benefits Of Rooting Your Android Phone

[Complete Guide] How To Fully Back Up And Restore Your Android Phone Using Nandroid Backup

I'm going to enjoy the rest of the sunny Saturday now - let me know your thoughts please!

Does nobody have any comments at all?
[Hero CDMA General] derynhaze:
I've flashed roms before. I've went from Fresh to Dark to aloysius, etc so I'm not a noob to flashing/rooting/etc.

I've been using Aloysius for the last few days and today, I noticed Goog Maps Nav wasn't in the rom so I decided to restore my nandroid (as anyone would usually do).

Now I'm stuck at a boot screen. I've tried hardware button resets and still stuck. Tried reflashing or restoring again and again but no go.

Any help?
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Plug it in to your computer, turn it off, and run adb logcat. It should say -waiting for device-. Turn it on, and copy-paste the last 20 or so commands.
[Hero CDMA General] ihakr:
A2SD

I have noticed that if I use A2SD and switch roms, my phone gets stuck at boot, so try wiping your phone, then take out the SD card then boot. If it boots succuessfully, then wipe the EXT partition on your SD card and you should be good.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyropup55:
I just got my Hero last week and using fresh kitchen, flashed to fresh 1.5.

I wanted to move up to the new damagecontrol rom, but since I used fresh kitchen to upgrade the first time. I wanted to know what I had to do. Is it just a matter of draging the dc zip to my sd card, booting to recovery and then updating (or what ever the menu says) and that be it? thanks for helping a newb
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
That will update the ROM yes. But you HAVE to wipe the factory default/dalvik-cache first. Which means you'll need to back up stuff you want first.

Going from 1.5 to 2.x isn't easy. If you have the right tools (I used Titanium backup) you can get your text messages back. Contacts will fail (unless you have them synched online) and you'll likely want to reinstall your apps.

If you're going to move from 1.5 I recommend a fresh start, don't try and restore anything and reinstall. It's a whole lot easier (I did this on my wife's phone last weekend, so I'm speaking from fresh experience). I'm sure there will be a lot of people who disagree, but it's definitely going to be better to wipe and go then try and restore it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyropup55:
so do i just boot up to ra, do a wipe and then re-boot and copy over the dc zip? I have all my contacts and pics stashed away via wavesecure and I can just re sync them that way. not too worried about losing the text msgs.

also, i just added swype last night, again using fresh kitchen. how do i add those using dc?

Sorry for the stupid questions.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animal7296:
Also I had to partition the sd card cause DC went into a boot loop till I did. Just remember to partition before moving DC 2.08.1 to your sd card or you will erase the rom.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
You can probably re-add swype with Fresh Kitchen on the 2.1 ROM. If not do a search for 'adb'.

Basically you would do an adb remount, followed by 'adb push nameofapplication.apk /system/app' (this is not exact commands, look it up for where swype goes, I believe /system/app is correct, though).

For the rest:

Reboot into recovery

Do a wipe factory

Do a wipe dalvik-cache

Do a wipe SD:ext (it will fail if you've never used a2sd, don't worry about the failure message).

Then select 'flash zip from sd card' and flash the ROM you put on it.

If you're flashing the latest DC roms be aware: I've seen that take anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes to boot after installation. So don't freak out. Also make sure your battery's fully charged before you install it. (The minimum is 30%, but if you have it at 100% you definitely won't need to worry about the battery when flashing a ROM).
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
Partition you mean? Shouldn't have to, to install that ROM. I installed 2.0.8 on my wife's prior to re-partitioning it for a2sd and it worked fine.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animal7296:
Thank you. I was having a brain fart and that is what I was having problems with. I flashed the rom and it went into boot loop (about 1/2 hr) removed battery wiped and boot looped again. Finally partitioned sd and booted fine.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
Odd...but yeah I just remembered reading you had that issue. I think that dconfig might not be 100% ready for prime time, which can cause that kind of issue. But that's a guess. Seems to be a random deal, though, because it doesn't happen to everyone.
[General Questions and Answers] Gunstar_Hero:
Anyone know of an App for WM6.1 that makes a random sound play (out of a folder of wav's or something) each time I get a new SMS? Like, I can create a folder called "NotificationsSnds" and fill it with a bunch of wav's, set up the app, and every time I get a text, it plays a random file out of that folder? Even if it just went by a cycle that'd be fine too.
[G1 General] JamesBlack:
I don't care for all the flashy things, I just want something that's pretty fast and won't feel sluggish after a week.
[G1 General] Absolut`:
check out HTCClay's SuperFast.

Probably the most simple and stable Donut-based rom out right now, its my daily-use rom.

[G1 General] DirectMatrix:
Stable, not flashy....stick with stock ROM
[G1 General] mejorguille:
dwang 1.17.1. Super Fast, Super stable.
[G1 General] Royalknight6190:
I agree Dwang is fast and stable and not flashy at all. SuperFast is fast but its very flashy.
[G1 General] elbebo:
IMO Cyanogen's mods have always been the fastest and most stable. I flashed a lot of roms on my G1 but I always kept coming back till I realized it was exactly what I needed. Stuck with it since. Even the new eclair build is very fast and most of the bugs have been sorted out. However it's still a test build so it's up to you! Good Luck!
[G1 General] Mo0oSaH:
I'd say the same based on my experiences
[G1 General] summoner:
I'm trying out the ZX sense based builds - I must say that HTC really helped the platform as I like these apps more than the stock ones!

--summoner
[G1 General] jriv:
superfast without a doubt is the overall best donut rom and while it is flashy its done very tastfully and is a very appealing rom
[G1 General] santet:
Hi everyone..

Dont know if i am pasting this in the right thread or if there is a thread suitable for a post like this at all.. sorry mods if i am pasting it in the wrong place.

now to the point.

I am doing a forensics course in school and i have realised that there is so little information available out there about forensics on the android platform. Yes we do have nandroid etc.. that take images of the phone. But how can the artifacts be analysed.

It is a a research project and no software has to be built.. hopefully.

I am here to ask for help from anyone who can give me information.. of any kind about forensics on the android platform in general. right from data acquisition to data analysis.

I own a G1 and play around with it a lot so i understand the terminology .. please just reply to this thread or send me a PM to register your help.. thanks

Hi guys, I have an HTC Fuze with ATT and I also have an earthlink account that I use once in awhile, and I would like to try to use it on my phone during nights and weekends just to look up weather and check a few emails. I have seen that others are doing it on their windows mobile phones, but when I try to do the same thing and follow directions, it doesn't seem to be connecting. It says it can't connect and doesn't have any specific error. On the username field I am putting my email address, and my password, and I am leaving the domain field empty. For the phone number i'm just putting 8147378274. Am I doing everything right?

[Desire General] bradavon:
I'd like to remove some of the shortcuts in All Programs, on my HTC Desire. I never use Footprints or Peep for example. I'd ideally like to uninstall them but will be as happy to just delete the shortcut.

How can I do this? Do I have to Root the HTC Desire, before I can do this? Thanks
[Desire General] JeckyllHavok:
Yes, a way to hide apps from the sense launcher would be great
[Desire General] Krpano:
I dont think it is possible, yet.

A temp solution would be to create a folder and dump all the apps you want inside.
[Desire General] JeckyllHavok:
But thats just possible in Home Screen (correct me if i'm wrong)
[Desire General] bradavon:
That wouldn't remove them from "All Programs" though, unless I'm missing something?
[Desire General] jolpool:
if you have rooted your phone you can use a program called vault
[Desire General] bradavon:
Thanks. It's a shame you have to root the phone. With Windows Mobile you've got access to everything without having to root.
[Desire General] bradavon:
Anyone? Or is rooting the only answer?
[Desire General] bradavon:
I'm now rooted. Where can I find this? Thanks.
[Desire General] sonoftobit:
Just use an alternate launcher like ADW. Then you can setup the app drawer any way you like. You can even have multiple settings. Not the only advantage btw.
[Desire General] Homerstar296:
Or use Titanium Backup. Worked fine for me. :D
[Desire General] bradavon:
Thanks but how will this help me reduce clutter in the App Drawer? I already use the excellent My Backup Pro btw :).

Thanks. I've tried Launcher Pro Plus in the past and it's excellent but I still prefer HTC Sense plus Sense is already very good, so I'd prefer not to have the extra load (if I had to make do with rubbish like MotoBlur I would though). Hence the need for that app?
[Desire General] fragargon:
Hi; you use backup pro... Freeze the app U Donna want more... Only this :)
[Desire General] bradavon:
I'm pretty sure My Backup Pro doesn't support App Freezing. I've just installed Titanium (thanks Homerstar296, I see what you mean now) and it's root check annoyingly failed. I'm definitely rooted. Apparently I also need "BusyBox".

Is this safe to install/activate? I don't want to brick my phone obviously.
[Desire General] Homerstar296:
Just install busy box and it should work. No risk by installing that.
[Desire General] Ik Desire:
What part of 'All (!) Programs' is so hard to understand? They aren't shortcuts.
[Desire General] bradavon:
@ Ik Desire: You don't actually want me to reply to that do you?

Thanks. I'll have a look.
