[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austin021296:
Im not real sure how to explain all this stuff in great detail but i will try and tell you all that i know. I think a kernel has to do with the drivers and things like that. A radio has to do with the everything that uses connections, i guess you would call it. Like your phone's network, wifi, bluetooth, etc. And for the bootloader i don't really know how to explain it but press and hold the power button and the trackball at the same time. thats the bootloader.

This should help some... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=619153

Hi Bricolo!

Welcome to the forums!

I'll help you out here, but you're going to have to do some work too.

Good stuff Paul, it's refreshing to see someone go out of their way to help a newbie every once in a while
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halorin:
There are more polite ways to respond to this guy. Some people learn through interaction. I'm glad someone went out of their way to explain things to this guy. It's a shame how cut throat this community can be sometimes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythamp:
I agree, the attitude and lame jokes are really immature at times. Thanks paul for putting a lil effort and explaining few of the key points than cracking the usual radio is a fm/am joke here, the extreme nerdism almost kills me! lol.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talderon:
As for the cutthroat and "nerdism" out there in this community, you have to remember, most of us that are regulars are ones that have been on this forum for a loooooooong while and not just in the Nexus One sections. I have migrated from WM to Android and see these posts time and time again.

There are Stickied "Noob" guilds galore, there is a search feature, there are TONS of resources out there for someone who puts in a MINIMAL effort can get this BASIC information.

When I first came here, I didn't just open a new post on "what is a ROM and ..." I read, I researched and when something wasn't clear and needed more information that wasn't out there, THEN I posted.

Those of us that may seem like we have an attitude aren't mean people, we don't expect everyone to come here with all the answers an NO questions, we just have an expectation that they at least put forth a LITTLE effort on figuring something out.

Paul did a great job in searching, but you have to wonder why the OP didn't even TRY and google anything or search here?

The impression I got is that it is not worth the OP's time to even try, so they put up a post asking these questions and expected the community to do all the work for them and compile some massive resource into a post that the OP most likely won't read and then start asking questions that were already answered in replies or links.

I have seen this happen time and time again on this board and others, so yeah, I am a bit of a jerk when someone puts forth no effort of their own.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bricolo_fr:
Thanks a lot, Paul and the guys that helped :)

About me asking, and being new here... I DID search on this forum, but didn't find everything I needed. I used the search function, read the sticky threads, googled... After this, I still had questions, meaning that the information I got was not sufficient and that the additional information I was seeking wasn't accessible enough here. So that's why I asked.

If you don't like new people asking questions, but only expect new members to be experienced ones that will arrive with software/tricks/roms/etc "gifts" for you,you should reconsider your lifes. Maybe as sultans or something similar :D I agree with the remark about nerdy attitudes. Do you really think this is needed? If my topic is unwanted here, some people called moderators will lock or delete it, it seems it hasn't happened so far...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bricolo_fr:
Back to the initial topic...

Well, maybe I did not make things clear enough. I'm not a complete computer noob. I know what a ROM is (not being specific to android devices), what an OS is, how to write a few lines of code, etc...

From what I understood, the bootloader can be see as the bios in a PC. It can execute a few tasks (diagnostics, rom flash, starting the OS...). The ROM contains the OS, software, config, etc...

As I said, what I don't really see is how all the things are related to each other. On this forum (and other places) I see a lot of alternative ROMs. I do understand what they are and their use. However I also see topics about kernels and radios, and that got me a bit lost. Aren't they already included in the ROMs?

Also, I'd like to learn a bit about how alternative ROMs are created. When additional features (applications?) are added to a ROM (features that were existing on other devices), is it "simply" the application files that from the other device that have been included to the ROM? When new features are added (not coming from other devices, like trackball led), how is that made? I assume it is added to the code somewhere, so is all the code available?

Thanks for helping
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NotATreoFan:
I'm going to move this thread to the Q&A section, and also clean up the noob bashing. Remember, not only is bashing discouraged throughout the entire site, but doing it in the Q&A section will likely earn you a short vacation from XDA.

i am really new to this and have my phone on kernel 2.6.33.2-cyanogenmod cyanogenmod-5.0.6-n1 build epe54b as of last night and dont know about these commands i see on google. i tried something called terminal but i am really lost on using it. it gives me a denied permission. i might be using it wrong but i dont know if it is what i should use to uninstall these. any help?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jblazea50:
you can use Titanium backup to delete the apps...download it from the market and then open the app, go into backup/restore tab, and click on whatever app you want to remove and just un-install

hope this helps
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D200P13:
thanks i just loaded that and when i clicked the backup/restore tab nothing shows up...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jblazea50:
i think when you first open up Titanium backup, it tells you to hit "Problem" so the busybox can be downloaded and then the app needs to be restarted

so try that first, open the app, click on problem, then it will download something, then restart the app

Thank you all for your awsome support, testing, suggestion's and patience!

How do you become a beta team member

If I like your post and you help frequently with resolving bugs or have usefull tips here at the website I will ask you if you

are interested in joining the beta team. You can try to pm me with a request, but I can't promise that I will reply to

all the requests...Thank you for your understanding!

Beta team rules

From a beta team member I expect that he helps me frequently, so I can trace bugs fast and fix them

People that only download the rom and don't help me, I will contact and replace with someone else

I like to keep the beta team at 10 members maximum, otherwise it will be too much work for me

TIPS:

For everyone who doesnt want to have the QuickGPS asking for downloading satellite information, go to programs -->Tools and then click on QuickGPS and uncheck "Download satellites when connected to a PC via ActiveSync" and click done. whenever you want to download new satellite, go to quickGPS and click download. this way, you will have the update done manually instead of asking you to download everytime you connect to ActiveSync...:)

Will Rom show 1024 storage? some please post results.:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ewells30:
When it gets done downloading I will see and post a screenshot of the sd card and phone storage page

I have the Tmobile HTC HD2 with the 1024 flash size and 576 mb ram and all I am seeing for the total storage of ram is 210.23 - used is 30.98 - free is 179.26 - total program - 459.59 - used program - 166.10 - and free program is 293.49. So I hope that answers the above question about if it shows 1024 storage

im using this rom and so far its stable!

great rom :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sancmat:
This is a little odd. When I went to bed last night this rom was working great. I woke up and now it's stuck in a hard reset loop. I've tried reflashing with no change. I'm rolling back to Ultimate Power for the moment so I can go to work but I'll try again later.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
That's indeed odd, I'm running the rom on my EU HD2 without any problem for a couple of days now.

Lets talk about it in beta team section soon as you have time.

Thanks Sancmat ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zolinagy:
Is there any chance to put back the E-reader tab? Is it possible to add another tab (I want to use facebook tab instead of twitter)?

I've tried this rom after the ultimate one. This one doesn't work together with MaxManila extension, the ultimate does.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Sorry friend but EReader tab development stopped atm by T-Mob so I don't like to use it.

I've included Freda which is a great EReader application.

The Facebook tab you can install yourself, I like to keep Twitter in as the Facebook tab is still under Development.

Great work by Meltwater btw. :)

Maxmanila I don't know, maybe it needs an update to the latest Manila from T-Mob 2.11 shipped rom.

I use Cookie's home tab.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sancmat:
Not sure what the issue was. I flashed back to Ultimate Power and then did a Flash back to GoldEdition 1.2 and all is well. If I have any more issues I'll post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BJohnM:
Radio ROM?

The top of the first post confuses me just a bit. It could be read that it includes Radio version 2.10.50.19_02, or that it requires it.

Can you clarify for me?

Thanks, nice looking ROM, I'm definitely interested in trying.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
That's the radio I've included in rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] al11588:

K flashed this rom and it changed my boot screen np I like it but if I go to send this back for warranty how do I get the org boot screen back thx for the help
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] giacominos:
just flash back stock rom and stock spl :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kwill:
Glad to hear as I'm interested to see how ExtDir performs when implemented by different chefs. I've tried a few that have it and I saw my Windows folder open so fast that I didn't even get a wait cursor! I believe it will soon be a standard in most roms once a few bugs are ironed out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] awjs:
k thx you so the stock spl would be flashed from the sd card ? or via the hspl program and click the 2008 org spl and that should do it ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Sorry friend but this thread is not to ask questions about how you flash stock SPL or a stock rom. If you like to do that you can read about it in the sticky.

In the rom flash instruction you can read about it as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi Kwill,

In V1.5 I took out Extdir temporary just for testing performance. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] HorstDCC:
display

'lo,

Smooth, fast and unfamiliar since Spike's skinning is not included. Maybe it's because of the different looking icons that I can't find the display settings in order to avtivate cleartype in portrait mode (and possibly to calibrate my screen).

Or did I bump into a bug?

:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hehe...

Well I've noticed this only happens on the T-Mob stock rom bases I use and I wonder if this is a bug or simply something T-Mob kept out. :p

Cheers, I will look at it and maybe find a solution. :D;)

Thanks Horst :)

how does landscape mode triggers on your rom?... and did you managed to do something with the phone app to stay in landscape after answering?

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
I didn't play with landscape yet but you can use BsBTweak thanks to Makeveral here on the board to rotate the apps you like. :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=589305
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccezar2004:
i thought you did since it says somewhere that this rom is 98% compatible with landscape... so this means that we cand use other apps to rotate it.. right?

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
That was one of my other roms you are talking about.

The rom intro of this version doesn't say it supports 98% of rotation or I must have missed that.

But you can rotate about everything if you use BsBTweak, I only didn't find the time yet to play with it myself as I've been very busy cooking the new base. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccezar2004:
my mistake... i think it was 4.0... thanks anyway...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
No problem.

But you do know BsB tweak has a rotation feature right?

You open the rotation feature in the menu and select 'Add application'.

Next you open the application you want and shake the device then it saves.

After a softreset the application rotates.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccezar2004:
yes i know... what i really wanted was a FULL suported landscape rom... like if i turn my device in landscape all the screen to go landscape and stay there untill i go portrait again..

i used bsb on a cleanex and manila was messed up... so i guess the rom must know also to use landscape...

and i hate that phone doesn't stay in landscape after answering/dialing...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
I'm currently on a new build so I can't try that for you sorry but you need to try it yourself.

Soon as I'm back on this build I will try.

Edit; btw do you know one rom that supports the dialer in landscape and sticks in landscape on incoming call?

I've asked in Chef Central here at XDA but nobody replied so I think it's an issue nobody solved yet.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Leo_Leo:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Yes it does stick on a Rhodium.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccezar2004:
ok... i unistalled the htc dialer and with the ms stock dialer the rotation works perfect... it stays rotated during the call, before and after...

i installed the rhodium dialer and it is the same as the htc leo dialer... when placing call it goes to portrait...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Just for your info, on my previous device Blackstone, Rhodium Topaz and Leo phonecanvas were totating fine.

Actualy I did know the default MS dialer rotates fine but it looks a bit ugly isn't?

When recieving an sms my phone freezes ..

Did a task 29 en didn;t install any apps when i found out .

Any idea ?

further the rom is verry fast and stable and i can set my bluetooth to visible again :-)

that was my main reason that i switched from your 4.0 to this one :-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] trueside:
I have some problems with this release

1. People and Call History Tap is very slow. Some times I press 2 or more times to making a call after reject a call.

2. Video camera has bugs. I can't close video camera app after video record with flash light.

3. When i want to record video on day light it start to shutter when recording.

Thanks for your rom releases. I used ultimate Power series and now, I'm waiting your future releases of gold series.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
I have not such issues you report with the camera or call history.

Can you give me a list of the third party apps/registry changes you use so I have a better view what can cause this issues?

Thanks :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Does this happen continue or just once?

Do you use the radio included in rom and which SPL are you using?

Thanks :)
