[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenocid3r:
it was along time since i could have update my phone.

I have G1, and the last update i did was months ago, couldn't find the time to do it.

now i have two weeks off, i would like to update my phone.

i know that some of you will tell me search on the forums, i did but im confused:

my fw version is : 1.6, with cyanogen 4.2.15.1. the kernal version is 2.6.29.6-cyanogenmod.

i was looking around and understand that there is a new recovery i would need to install (i think i read it as amon ra???)

so to my question is what steps - more accurately, from where should i start update.

as i read on the forums there is kingklick & Cannon202 roms out. cause as i understand it cyanogen stop is support for android ( i read it on his blog - maybe im wrong).

so what steps should i follow in order to have a 2.0-2.2 update on my phone.

i dont need step by step, just if someone can tell me what kind of updates(files) do i need, in order to update my phone.

thanks for everyone who will be willing to help me :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninjineer:
You don't need Amon-RA, it's simply preference. And as for 2.0-2.2 talk, if you mean upgrading to his most recent ROM's, read those development threads for instructions. It's pretty straight forward.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenocid3r:
thanks for the reply

so do i need to upgrade inorder....

i mean do i need to upgrade first to 2.0-2.1-2.2 or can i go straght to 2.2 from 1.6?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] StripLV:
"Extract" stock ROM, make changes in the UI then flash back generally possible?

I am no developer but i know a java developer.

He is very good in Java (he works for T-Mobile as a Java developer) but has no Android experiences.

What i want to know:

Is it possible to "extract" or "save" a standard/virgin/stock/generic ROM from a device, f.e. from a HTC Desire or a SE X10 then make the following changes in the UI:

-add 4 tabs on the bottom of the screen: home, options, back, find

-add a "X" or "close" or "cancel" tab to the contextmenues

more things like that

and then flash this back to the device?

Is this generally possible?

If yes what do i need to do this?

Thanks!

[Desire General] Bashar .:
what was stopping me from getting N1 was tethering that HTC provides on my HTC Hero

now Froyo has it built-in ! so would this make N1 faster than desire with Froyo?

thanks
[Desire General] Sindroid:
i wouldnt know until Desire gets Froyo. However im running Froyo on my N1 and it's not as fast as they stated. But it is noticable faster.

My bet is they both will run equally as fast.
[Desire General] art3s:
they have almost identical hardware. so there shouldn't be any difference in speed. it all comes down to which you like more
[Desire General] panos123:
Consider the endless threads of people pining for FROYO on their desire, I'd pick the nexus.
[Desire General] Stafflover:
Easy, Desire...

I really hate trackballs since I have had a hero, dirt gets stuck in it and then the ball wouldn't even turn. Love that optical track pad, although it needs some

time to get used to.

If you want fast updates get a N1, if you are prepared to wait for htc update and if you love htc sense, buy a desire.

[EVO 4G General] gentlye:
Sup. I am new to xda but have a lot of time over at sdx.

I have a tricky issue:

I got my account on may 3rd. I want the evo but won't be released until

2 days after my "sprint worry free" end date. I am told by the store manager, account retention, customer care, account services and the manger at local bb the only way for

Me to get the evo at the 199 price is to cancel under worry free and restart the entire

Account when the evo is released.in my case I will likely cancel tommorrow and go over to bb tommorrow to preorder. As you can see I am really wanting the evo...

Long story|short.. if I cancel my account they all say I will not be denied service

A b|c my credit isn't re-run for 60 days from first app and b, the worry free has no penalties in my case..

It seems hard to believe. That seems to be a big loophole for sprint..

Is it true? I ask cause I had no deposit the first time and would like to save cash where I can...thx for any advice...
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
I don't think you cancel and sign back up	like that
[EVO 4G General] maxdamage2122:
i don't see why not. although you wont be able to keep your same number.
[EVO 4G General] gentlye:
Yeah . They say can't guarantee me my #. But I don't have any friends..j|k..

I have talked to like 5 managers. They act like no one else has ever asked about this.
[EVO 4G General] daniel0260:
yes its possible i ask sprint sustomer service and they said that u dont have to wait day or a day soo yeah im pretty sure yeah
[EVO 4G General] saa001:
I beleive that there is a "waiting" period when you do something like that. I have heard it is sixty days.
[EVO 4G General] popimpg:
i work for sprint and alot of people have called and asked the same question..... so here is your answer that you are not gonna want to hear.

if you cancel you line and you only have 1 line on the account then you will have to wait 60 days before you can open a new account.

but if you do it the right way u can still get your evo on june 4th . you can go to sprint today and open up a second line but dont buy a phone there start the new line with another sprint phone that you already have (or buy a cheap one off craigslist) and then wait till tomorrow and cancel the original line. on june 4th go to radio shack or Best buy (since its only 199 there) and do an upgrade on the new line. you are able to upgrade since sprint did not provide you with a phone when you started your new line... i hope that wasnt confusing for you, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask...
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
If you were approved for more than one line when you signed up, you can add the evo on one of those other lines, and then cancel the original line (though if its over 30 days you'll have to pay the etf, but you could just sell the hero to cover that cost. That would be the easiest way.
[EVO 4G General] aldaris652:
very logical answer :] this sounds like waht you want to do

I have an old generic USB travel charger which says:

100-240 volts AC

0.3A 50-60hz

Output 5.5vDC 1amp

Will it work? Nice if it does as it has US and European plug adaptors. Presumably it will as it just emulates a USB supply?

Yup, that's perfect for the Desire.

Haven't found an app for the TG01 to improve power drain ... used with my ohter WM phones XCPUscaler (Auto CPU clock), but that one is not compatible to the snapdragon proc.

even so ... any suggestions for an app?
[TG01 Themes and Apps] souljaboy:
1 : turn off the green status led

2 : turn off backlight sensor

3 : dont have ur backlight on a high value , only when u really need it

4 : dont just lock phone , but put it in standby also

5 : if ur only playin mp3s set ur cpu to lowest w/ utility /u know there is one in all roms rite?/

6 : dont use programs to save battery life cuz programs use battery .
[TG01 Themes and Apps] xda_dev2063:

And don't forget to set wifi to power consumption. I've noticed my battery lasting much much longer and I didn't realise why until I checked the settings.

[HD2 Accessories] lwlee:
When travelling, very often check into hotels that do not have wifi but only LAN points in the room. So can't access Internet with the HD2.

Is there such an adapter that connects from the LAN point to mini USB to be plugged into the HD2 for internet access?

If there is, the the HD2 access internet with it's stock ROM or does it need some application?

Thanks
[HD2 Accessories] ALEXRUSS55:
Wow now that would be the deal!!!

Thoughts anybody?
[HD2 Accessories] lwlee:
I googled and found some adapters, but not sure if they can be used on the HD2.

As stated they can be used on laptops which do not have RJ45 LAN inputs. So these can convert from RJ45 to USB for laptops.

What about HD2, can they work or what apps are needed to make it work?
[HD2 Accessories] Paten:
Just use a pocket router.

D-Link DWL-G730AP Wireless Pocket Router/AP w/ Client Mode, 802.11g, 54Mbps
[HD2 Accessories] lwlee:
Thanks, that is a good alternative. Converting wired to wireless so that HD2 can access, with the added advantage that more than one device can access the internet.

Appreciate more suggestions from anyone.
[HD2 Accessories] Moustafa217:
OR if money is not an issue.. try this :

http://store.apple.com/us/product/M...ess-AirTunes?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg&mco=MTA4NTc4MTE

more compact, more functional.. less wires needed ( plugs directly into the wall)

PS: could serve as a repeater.. so u can use it at home to enhance your wireless network. :)
[HD2 Accessories] shelay:
why not just access the internet via your mobile provider's gsm network?

evidently, if its a different country from you home country, this concept will make a lot of sense. better still, if u can plug a PC into the LAN connection, then if u are using windows Vista or 7, you can tether Wifi from your laptop!
[HD2 Accessories] malex1:
Look at £2.99 adapter from Amazon.

It connects your USB cable to Lan port.
[HD2 Accessories] Archer:
Maybe he wants to use the internet more than his allowed amount. Also, if he had a laptop, why on earth would he want to use his HD2 to browse the internet???
[HD2 Accessories] Moustafa217:
hd2 has microusb not usb.. so that is not the actuall case here.. :)
[HD2 Accessories] lwlee:
Hey Guys, thank you all very much for your responses and advises.

When overseas, using GSM for internet access is very very costly. When I travel I don't bring along a laptop as I carry lots of camera equipment.

So that's why looking for a lighter solution for internet access when back in hotels.

Thanks will check them out. Actually I done quite a bit of search yesterday and found the ASUS WL-330GE affordable and suit my needs. But am not sure if it's available locally. Waiting for reply from local distributor, else will have to mail order.

You're right, but can easily convert from USB to mini USB.
[HD2 Accessories] malex1:
You just plug your data/charging cable that you have with you when you travel to charge your phone, into the adapter.
[HD2 Accessories] malex1:
No converter, just use HD2 data cable, this plugs into adapter I suggested.
[HD2 Accessories] lwlee:
But most adapters come with standard USB plugs.
[HD2 Accessories] lwlee:
Thanks to Paten, I've got a solution to my problem.

Got a ASUS pocket travel router, WL-330gE yesterday and tested with my home LAN.

Plugged in ethernet cable from my home router to the unit powered up and works perfectly first time. HD2 detected it and I was able to login the security codes.

Plug N Play, no setup required. For just S$80/-. I would recommend this unit anytime to anyone looking for such a solution.

Thank you all for your valuable tips.
[HD2 Accessories] malex1:
The £2.99 adapter from Amazon, has a 'female' USB socket, so HD2 cable will plug straight into it.
[HD2 Accessories] Paten:
That may be but does Windows Mobile recognize a lan connection when it's plugged in that way? Maybe it does. £2.99 seems like a cheap price, let us know if it works.
[HD2 Accessories] lwlee:
Can you please give a link to the mentioned item?

Hi all,

Should not work since , at least for the time being, there is no way to profit from Leo's USB HOST capabilities .

In spite of

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=638201

i'm personally still doubtfull that Leo has such capability.

However if interested see also:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=480899

I can add that a proper WM driver for USB-LAN conv. would be necessary.

In the past (for an old device definitely having working Usb-Host capabilities) i tried without success to find such a driver.
[HD2 Accessories] lwlee:
Thank you.

Don't think it'll work with the Leo.

Part of the product description says, "The main use for this adaptor is to connect a USB ADSL modem to a router with an RJ45 socket" .

But like you said at that price it's worth a try.
[HD2 Accessories] lwlee:
I was thinking if there's such an adapter, it may not work with Leo directely.

That was why I ask if it may need an app.

Simplest solution I think is still use a mini travel router. Hassle free.
[HD2 Accessories] lwlee:
After playing with the travel router for a couple of days, here a summary. In case anyone is interested to know.

Power up, connect ethernet cable to the unit. No issues, Plug N Play. Did not do any setup, HD2 was able to see and connect to the unit.

I connected it to both networks (different ISPs) in my home and was able to access both the networks via the unit.

Brought the unit to 2 other friend's house to test on different networks. Worked beautifully on the HD2. My friends was also able to access the internet via the unit on his Legend.

There seems to be some sites which are quite difficult to access via the unit. Occasional problems with gmail.com and yahoo.com. Most of the other sites which I often access do not have any problems.

The unit feels a little warm after about 4 hours of continous power on.

Good piece of hardware for travel to hotels where there no wireless access and when you don't have a wireless enabled laptop or netbook.

I'm not saying that you have to buy the same one I'm using but I guess 'all' travel routers should work fine with the HD2 when you want to have a router when traveling.
[HD2 Accessories] maseo:
Then, wouldn't it be easier to get a USB wifi dongle, and in combination with Windows 7, set up WiFi tethering ?

Must be a lot cheaper too.
[HD2 Accessories] lwlee:
Can you advise how this combination can be used in a situation where only LAN and no wifi is available. How this can be used on HD2 when you do not have a laptop or netbook with you.

Sorry don't know what WIFI tethering entails.

Thanks
[HD2 Accessories] mad2fly:
I'm sorry to jump into this discussion so late but I have been using an older version of this for a few years. I understand the op had a specific requirement but I thought I'd let others know my experience.

I got this back when EDGE was the norm in the US, so I purchased this to get higher speed internet. I still find that the hotel's LAN connection can be much faster than the 3G reception.

I now live on a small island in the English Channel. This means anywhere I go is roaming so I always keep this with me. However, now I quite often travel with a small Fujitsu P1630 notebook/tablet pc. Now I find I usually end up just sharing the internet connection over an ad-hoc connection between my Windows XP P1630 and my HD2.

Europe it seems most hotels charge for internet access (what's that about). Sharing my pc's connection has the added advantage of not having to purchase an internet connection for each device. I found with my ASUS WL-330g if I wanted to connect more than one device through it, I would have had to pay for each devices connection.

I'm not a networking genius but a google search showed me how to share an internet connection. You just need to disable the internet sharing when you are done or the next time you try to connect your pc with wifi you won't be able to.
[HD2 Accessories] lwlee:
Thank you for sharing your experience.
[HD2 Accessories] lwlee:
Finally got this setup to resolve my HD2 internet access when WiFi is not available. 'cos in some hotels only LAN is available and you don't have a laptop/netbook with you.

With an external battery pack/charger, the setup works w/o having the need of a wall AC outlet.

HD2 WiFi connected to travel router to LAN

Connected to FB

A BT keyboard to go along

Edit:- The powerpack/charger is a 4000mAh unit. Can power the combination for hours continuously, simultaneously charging the HD2 battery.
[Desire General] jab1972:
Does anybody know of a dvd to mp4 converter that will allow me to increase audio levels?

The desire's external speaker is lacking quite a bit in terms of audio quality and loudness and films I have previously converted to mp4 via handbreak, although looking very good, are a bit on the quite side though the external speaker with max volume selected. I know the desire is capable of playing media slightly louder as most YouTube videos playback at a higher volume.

In the past, I have downloaded and tested lots of dvd converters for best playback on the HD2 but uninstalled them all as I found Handbrake to be the best for the HD2. I know that at least one of them did allow you to adjust the audio level but I can’t find it again.

The Desire has vey low media audio playback volume compaired to the HD2 so I need the audio volume level to be a bit higher.

Cheers

[Desire General] Rob Pomeroy:
Can HandBrake's DRC (Dynamic Range Control) help you out at all? You probably need to normalize rather than just boost (or maybe compress and boost) otherwise you'd get clipping/distortion.

[HD2 General] toreone:
Can you get the tast manager open and see whats running?! you have restarted?! What are you doing when it begins to flip out. i bought a bootleg wall charger for my HD2 and it would do strange thing but only when I would plug it to charge but once I took it off the charger it was fine?! You might want to do a Factory Reset and re-install things one by one to see what it is that is causing your phone to wig out...
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yes, if there's no obvious connection between any action of yours (or a background app or anything) and this behavior, I would start with a Hard-reset like toreone suggested....if that doesn't clear it up, I'd get it replaced asap. It sounds to me like there's a short in the mobo somewhere that's causing phantom button presses to be registered.
[HD2 General] HectikDroid:
ok

Yeah, I cant open the task manager cuz it closes instantly since the back button keeps activating. I have hard reseted but now my send,home, volume down, and menu button dont work :( I think Im gonna ask for a new one since this one is buggin out. thanks for your advice guys:D

first warning, this is my first attempt at putting a theme together, so go easy, lol.

ok guys, i made a semi theme for myself and thought it was good so i figured id upload for others to try. i started with stevos (from cyanogenmod forum) black bar mod test 5. i then took lots of blue highlights/buttons/icons and such from and old theme (senseherov1.4) done by manup456 and merged them into here. it has a very clean feeling, yet i love it so much more then the stock yellow/orange/green.

ok here is 3 versions for cm 5.0.7-ds stable. they now include vertical power widget mod by anderweb and sitimber, then posted by bluedragon1982 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=680154&highlight=power+mod+eclair. the ds version just has themed settings menu. the trans version has the transparent widget also, and the ds dt has both plus themed trans widget. let me know what you guys think. thanks.

*after flashing go to spareparts, user interface, that is where you change clock/date/notifications color

thank you to stevo for your hard work and black bar mod from which i started. also thank you to manup456 for letting me use some of your work in this! thank you to sitimber and anderweb for the setting widgets. also thank you to JF from which i started, of course cyanogen, and everyone else in the android community.
