It has your apps2sd info in it, hence wiping before changing roms because most use different versions of a2sd.

I want to use stock Android 2.1 ROM but want to use SetCPU to overclock. I tried flashing this kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=690238 but was stuck on the white/green HTC Screen. I then tried this kernel: http://forum.androidcentral.com/162759-post49.html and it got rid of super user permission so I couldnt use SetCPU. Is there another kernel I can use? If so can you PLEASE provide download link? One more thing, how do I compile this: http://xdaforums.com/show...ghlight=kernel ?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] one-of-four:
Ok... I'll give you what info I can, but I'm somewhat new to this myself... the first kernel you tried to flash has to be used in tandem with the rom listed at the top of the thread (darchdroid...) the second needs to be used with damage control's rom. I don't understand why you lost su permissions by flashing the second one, but again I'm new to this.

I hope you made a nandroid backup (always do this, otherwise some people around here will flame you...) I would restore, try installing the rom for the kernel you want to use and then re-flash it.

Something you might like is freshtoast (check: http://geekfor.me/new-release/fresh-toast-v21/) it has a stable rom (fresh 2.1.x) and all the overclocking goodies you're looking for. That way you won't break your phone / lose root in the process.

P.S. your link is broken for your last question, so I can't answer it ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamrock11:
I don't want to use a rom. I was told I can overclock if I use a custom kernel. Which kernel should I download from the second link and heres the last link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=684838&highlight=kernel
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] one-of-four:
Sorry for the delay... long day(s) at work!

For your kernel problems, please read this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=622916

It gives you step by step instructions on how to compile and install (probably the wrong term, but whatever...) the kernel you want.

In order to use setCPU you'll need a custom kernel, the CDMA Hero doesn't support it straight out of root.

This thread seems like it may contain your answer: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=699792

I also highly recommend heading to following link, it has tons of guides and will answer most of your questions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6738713&postcount=1

Hope this helps, but as far as more in-depth kernel questions, you'll need to find someone else to ask, I'm all out of ideas :o

I am sending my nexus one back to google and wanted to make sure i unroot the phone so that there are not issue in the returning process.

Can someone guide me to the tutorial how can i do that
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesbalmer:
If I gave some effort I'd find that facepalm picture.

Why do n00bs root their phone?!?!?! JESUS!

Maybe you should have researched what you were going to get yourself into before you rooted your device, there is no way to complete 'unroot' the phone at all. I don't believe google will have the ability to flash the firmware that allows it to go back to stock, so if they're 'nice' they'll have to send it to HTC.

You're **** out of luck, next time research and now you'll have to enjoy your Nexus One. Might I ask, why don't you like it anymore?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikramdhani:
Thanks but i need to know why you are saying like that ? I want to return it because i like my other phone better than this one :)

So r u sure there is no way i will be able to return the phone to google ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S_Dot:
You can't unroot the phone
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikramdhani:
If i dont unroot = No Return ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesbalmer:
You have completely undoubtedly altered the phone beyond typical repair by Google's end, they will need to invest money in order to have HTC relock the phone. There is no way to 'relock' your bootloader, which is where you voided your warranty. I would not waste their time or your own money in trying to send the phone back rooted in order to obtain a refund
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prettyboy85712:
The only recourse is to keep it or sell it.

You're getting a new phone for the $130 deductible... and you don't send your broken one in. You keep it too... Hold on to it and see if you can get a replacement LCD to fix it and sell it later. ;)

[Hero CDMA General] MallardDuck:
So, as the title says this is a poll about phone over clocking.

Who's phone is capable of overclocking and who's isn't?

My goal is to find out if there is a way to tell if you can overclock or not based on the phones s/n.

Procedure:

So pick the proper answer on the poll, then if you could please make a post saying whether you can or cannot overclock along with your s/n.

Works

[Hero CDMA General] D3FAULT:
I tried several methods of OCing, and finally found one that works for me on another site. I'll PM it to you since I don't know what the rules are on posting links to other sites here.

In short, yes I can, but only using a certain method.
[Hero CDMA General] radxcoresteven:
Can you PM me? I'd like to hear about it.
[Hero CDMA General] troyboytn:
been oc since Toast released his kernel, but I do still get the random fc on incoming calls once or so a week. its annoying but if the call was important they leave a message. The difference in speed is worth it.
[Hero CDMA General] smstutler:
OC to 768 with no issues.
[Hero CDMA General] smolck:
D3fault sent me the link and now I can OC up to 710 (768 freezes me). Before he sent me the zip file for the OC stuff I could not run any OC ROM's, no overclock widget, or setcpu. Now I can run overclock widget (LWP flies now) and setcpu. Still can't get all OC'd ROM's to load but it is worlds better than it was.

Lastly, I do get some heat though, oh well.

Here is the link for those who can't get their hero to overclock, try this (courtesy of D3fault, not me). Download and add to your SD, flash, download overclocking program of choice (I really like the OC widget in the market) and done.

[Hero CDMA General] hexskrew:
Overclocked to 710 (too squemish to get the higher kernel) and though it sucks through battery like no tomorrow, and the fact that... well.. it didn't speed any lag in the os itself, games and graphics work a hell of a lot quicker!

ROM - Bittersweet v1.2/stock radio/using DialerOne/LauncherPro

Kernel - Toast-godmode OC .29 kernel for DamageControl/based roms

Neocore:

1.5 - 12fps

2.1 - 24/28fps

w/oc kernel - 30/32.8fps

@lokipipin, the OC wants to find if there is a correlation of phones serial number differences to the freq. of people who can't overclock (i.e. it could be a revision, or even a ****ty batch of pcbs or something, and that could be tracked by s/n)
[Hero CDMA General] MallardDuck:
Well, there's not much i can do with your serial number that will harm you, so don't worry. But i'm looking to find a correlation between serial numbers and chip revisions, which would in turn let us know based on serial number if you can OC and etc.

We did this with the PS3 world a long time ago and it was pretty helpful, i'm surprised no one did it sooner.

And only based off the two that i have already, i can say that maybe the D batch was manufactured with lower quality chips. But that's only based off of two results, just imagine if i had more to compare.
[Hero CDMA General] MallardDuck:
What exactly does this do? What does this actually change as far as the rom files? Can i flash this on pretty much any rom that says it OC's?
[Hero CDMA General] smolck:
Wish I could tell you. All I know is that once I flashed it, I was able to use the OC widget. Prior to the flash it wouldn't work. I am a noob, sorry.
[Hero CDMA General] Jon.StatiK:

I can overclock the phone but cannot overclock to 768. Only 710 and staying stable.

[Hero CDMA General] D3FAULT:
Obviously the actual credit for that goes to person who posted it over at Android Central, beezy420. It's worked for me and several others so it's worth a shot if nothing else works for you.

I flashed it to my rooted stock 2.1 and it worked, so give it a shot.
[Hero CDMA General] xxxk15:
yes my hero is OC'ed with 710
[Hero CDMA General] KitsapAndroid:
So far I have only tried to OC my Hero once. I did it with Zen's MT3G ROM and it worked, but it definitely created some heat. I think with that one it was OC'd at something like 691. Like I said, phone worked, but it DEFINITELY heated up a LOT more than normal. I can't easily access my s/n right now, so I'll have to update this post when I can.
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:

Tasker can do this, and a zillion other things if you want. Look for in the Market in a few days, or visit the forum.

http://www.dinglisch.net/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?catselect=29

Example..

Context: Email Received (K9)

From: [blank]

Subject: geo*published* matches this for example: [GEO] Notify: IronHorseReviewer published USS Kentucky Challenge - E4 (Traditional Cache)

Task:

Wait 2s

Notify Sound

Title: Whatever important email

Sound File: [browse to whatever sound file]

Voila.. Plays the normal email sound, then 2 seconds later, the auxiliary sound. If you're very picky and only want ONE tone, you could disable alerts in K9 entirely and play two different sounds, depending upon if it matches or not. :)

Yes, this depends on K9 being used. But K9 is awesome, can't see why anyone wouldn't use it.

it wouldt be great if your app wouldt work with the htc mail client because i use exchange to get my mails an it does not work in k9

[HD2 General] Spacechimp:
Hi

I recently lost my Hero and have been offered (by my bank insurers) a replacement Hero or an HD2 (or other phones I'm uninterested in). I loved the Hero, although it was laggy and generally underpowered, but the whole Android thing was/is pretty damn good. I've also had a Tytn II, so I'm aware of the WinMo foibles. My other half has also given me her Hero (for the time being at least) because she just doesn't get on with it. So, what do I do from here:

1) Opt for replacement Hero and either sell it or give my gf's one back to her?

2) Take the HD2 and make it my primary phone

3) Take the HD2 and sell it so I can buy a iPhone 3GS (or upgrade early and get a 4)

Day to day, I need to be able to run the following:

Evernote

Remember the Milk

MP3

Video

RSS feeds

Solid browsing

RSS feeds

Good calender integration (with Googlemail preferably)

Good Twitter app

Good Facebook app

Separate work and personal contacts (currently all work contacts are on Exchange and all personal ones are on Googlemail - handled perfectly by Android)

Solid and reliable GPS (for both driving (if possible) and tracking my running/biking - Android has 3-4 great apps for this)

Integration with Exchange (inc tasks preferably) as well as Googlemail (inc Calendar if possible)

The Hero does the above very well, but like I say is a laggy - a Desire would be great but not really an option.

The iPhone does it all (not sure how it manages/separates contacts though) and obviously has the huge app store.

The HD2 has a luscious front end and possibly does all the above - but does it separate work stuff from personal stuff? And do you still have to dig around in the WM backend to get it to do things?

Anyway, that's generally where I'm at. What do you recommend? Would appreciate any thoughts and comments.

Thanks in advance.

SC

PS I'm in the UK and use Vodafone.

EDIT: I should add that I've checked out loads of HD2 reviews and the concensus seems to be that the front end is really quick n slick, but ultimately it's still a WinMo OS - the former looks great and certainly looks the part, but does the latter really cause "problems?"

EDIT: I've also read that the HD2 can develop lag/hanging - but I guess every phone can. Is there a fix to this? I've heard that flashing the ROM can sort this, but returning the phone to HTC seems OTT to me. What say you? Cheers
[HD2 General] Spacechimp:
I've also heard that the XDA forum has links to various (unofficial) WM app stores - haven't really found them yet, so can anyone say whether these "additional" apps are genuinely good?
[HD2 General] M3PH:
I'm gonna be honest here, bud. The hd2 probably isn't for you. It is essentially a tweakers phone. here's why:

The lushus front end you speak of is painfully slow out of the box and to get it running smoothly you need to install a couple of apps (a 3d driver patch and a program to force the cpu to run at full speed all the time).

The facebook app is ok but i would not call it excellent and that's after you install the update from MS marketplace.

Opera 9.7 is a solid browser and if you want flash have a look at skyfire or opera 10.

The GPS rocks as long you configure windows to use it properly and get the latest version of google maps. The inbuilt mp3 player sucks and sounds like a 3 year old bashing saucepans with a wooden spoon (this is coming from a partially deaf person so it's bad) there are alternatives but none of the ones i tried sounded much better until i installed SRS WOWHD 2.1 for windows mobile.

I did check to see if you could get evernote for windows mobile and you can. The reminder system is as good as outlook 2010 but you can't split your contacts into groups. Although, coz it's windows mobile exchange integration is flawless and supports ssl secured direct push (and if you have exchange 2010 and outlook 2010 you can enjoy having your text messages viewable in outlook on the pc)

For video you'll probably want to look at tcpmp or it's big brother coreplayer and WM includes the MS rss feed application.

I love the Leo but i'm an IT engineer and messing about with computer hardware and software is what i do for a living (and for fun). A lot of people find it irritating because they have a lot of problems with it, or they find the battery life is too short but from my experience it is because they are just not IT literate enough to deal with the small glitches, that 9 times out of 10, they themselves have caused.

So to summarise, if you want a quiet life, aren't interesting in tweaking or modifying your phone and want all the features on your wish list get the desire. If you want a half assed attempt at a phone, that only lets you do one thing at a time and locks you into 2 different proprietry technologies, get the iPhone and if you love tweaking and modding, want the freedom to do anything you want with your device, a massive screen and a phone so fast that, once tweaked a little, could beat the holy hell out of that windows 98 desktop you had back in the day, get a HD2

P.S. If you do get a hd2 the first thing you should do is get the office mobile 2010 update from ms because it's not included by default and is much better than OM 2007

P.P.S. Just to put my speed statement into context. The iPhone 4 which is as yet unreleased still won't be as fast as the Leo which is almost a year on the market
[HD2 General] onslaught86:
Going by the price of the Hero in NZ, that's a pretty good deal, no? At the very least, you could take the HD2, try it, and sell it to buy another Hero and then some, no?

I'd honestly recommend the HD2 - best phone I've ever used, and the current dev community is making new apps and mods on a daily basis. Re: listed apps, the majority are integrated in Sense UI, and the rest of the functions are fine - unsure on Remember The Milk since it's not an application I'm familiar with. Tasks/reminders?

As for the unofficial app store, check out Omarket - or just browse XDA!

EDIT: As noted above, it's a phone for those who love tweaking everything they possibly can. If you want an out-of-box experience, iphone's the way to go - Personally, I get irked every time I find something I can't change.
[HD2 General] Spacechimp:
Thanks guys - I appreciate the lengthy replies.

Having mildly tweaked my Tytn II and Hero in the past, I'm happy to do the same with the HD2 - which I've just ordered as a replacement. I don't really want to get into rooting and custom ROMs but I've no problem digging around to a degree. I trust the developers here and generally look forward to getting the most out of this phone.

BTW, does it integrate well with Googlemail for contacts and calendaring? All my personal stuff is on there. Or do you have to use the SIM or memory and proprietary apps?

Also, do most market apps utilise the WM UI or does the HD2's skin kick in and make the experience more lush?

Thanks again

SC
[HD2 General] brushednwhite:
Iphone 4 slower then HD2 yeah right> hahaha
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
Googlemail works fine mate just set it up as an outlook account and the mail will be pushed instead of searched for every hour or so, my contacts and calender entries sync fine from gmail.

and @brushednwhite check the specs ;)
[HD2 General] onslaught86:
You can integrate with google as an exchange server and sync calendar/email/etc. There's a thread in the T-mobile HD2 forums about it, I use an actual Exchange account so Gmail's just sync'd as an additional email account. It's pretty versatile.

As for the UI, each application has its own. Sense UI is just a front end for HTC's applications and menu skins. There are applications that have the same look though, and you can change/replace anything in the default WinMo menus anyway - I have no problem with 6.5's look myself.

Rooting Android isn't really comparable to WinMo - you may have to disable security warnings to install unsigned apps, but the highly recommended BSB Tweaks will do that for you. Hard SPL is the closest to rooting, it basically lets you install custom ROMs and radios. I have no problem with the stock ROM myself, and it's the first time that's been the case for me - your mileage may vary. :)

What a totally helpful and impartial reply!
[HD2 General] sam29792:
@M3PH, what program(s) did you use to crank up the CPU speed on the HD2? Been looking for one but could do with some advice on what programs/tweaks to use

Thanks :)
[HD2 General] sike222:
why not keep your gf's phone and buy her something else to use?
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
The programe you are looking for is LeoCpuSpeed v3.

It's certainly no faster. :rolleyes:

I'd be inclined to agree with M3PH's summary of the HD2. Given the choice now I'd go for an Android based OS. Not to say I don't love my HD2 and WM 6.5.x. But it does seem dated in comparison. How about getting the more expensive phone, selling and getting an unlocked say, Desire?
[HD2 General] M3PH:
Personally i love WM. The lag/hanging you speak of was there for me from the moment i turned the phone on for the first time and it is caused by the that lovely UI (sense). The way to solve it is to increase the filsesystem cache, use LCS to remove the autoscaling on the CPU and then set the clock speed to the maximum. I then went off and installed chainfire's 3D driver patch and tweaked the screen BPP. There are some other performance tweaks that i did but there is a thread full of them (BSB tweaks has most of them).

The sms app has major performance issues but there are newer versions available on the forum that you can install. Version 2015 seems to be the best.

I've i had the choice again i would still buy the Leo over anything else but i do recommend it to people thinking of getting one, that aren't nessecarily that patient, with words of caution.

Anyway, i'm off to burn a few litres of nitro fuel and annoy the neighbours with my poorly silenced r/c car (it's a big boys toy :))
