You can't flash a rom without first flashing the recovery img, go back to step 4 and flash amon ra's recovery image.
[Droid Eris Android Development] illogical06:
i realized that and was in the process when you posted. thanks tho. I guess i got impatient and figured recovery meant like a back up if i screwed up. thats what happens when ya dont follow directions! i have like 3 roms saved and im dl'ing the ivan and will give it a shot. everything else is completed tho. just waiting on teh download. i think i lost a good amount of contacts tho because i didnt back them up. i have no clue how to get them back beyond trying to sync with google. does our google account save all contacts automatically?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ramseyja:
it does if you have syncing enabled, when you log in with your email on the new rom, it will restore your contacts back from google. also the first time you open your market, if you hit menu and go to downloads, it remembers what you had previously downloaded.

ivans is nice as an like stock rom, but i think it is out dated, there was a newer one jcase's plain jane rom, or basically anything on the front page. tho i perfer cyanogen elb, or zenexp. eh try a few different ones
[Droid Eris Android Development] illogical06:
its weird because i never turned off sync my google email. the only sync options i had were google, facebook, and flickr (that applied to me). Most of my contacts are saved but not all.

I also did the market thing immediately but apps like handscent weren't in there which is odd to me.

My big thing about switching between roms is saving all the settings from the previous one. I presume there is a root app for that but i havent even begun to dive into it. I just wanted to overclock this thing because its pissing me off with how slow it is. Also, it being more slim as far as cluttered bs apps helps too.

btw, i got it fully up and running, just installing apps and adding contacts. I would say that contacts over a few months old or less are the only ones missing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
so why would you leave that to chance. . . im sure you noticed all the disclaimers, i understand its at your own risk but still. The recovery has saved my 4$$ several times now. . . trust me especially if your a new it isn't worth the risk. (unless your ballin but no offense to anyone if we were we'd all have incredibles or at least moto droids by now). . and don't use rom manager until its been tested on our device thoroughly . . . which means never use rom manager on an HTC Eris. lolz
[Droid Eris Android Development] Tarpit_Carnivore:
You can use something like titanium to backup your apps and settings
[Droid Eris Android Development] dmullins80:
Illogical when did you get your Eris? I ask this because I'm getting a replacement Eris next week an I'm just wondering if I have to prepare my self for the new 2.1 with the 1.49 h boot or if there a possibility that I would get something easier to root.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shawn_pro:
Sorry guys if this is a duplicate but could not fine anything about audio quality.

Iam gonna buy this awesome device but just curious to know from u guys the audio quality for music from headphones (stock or other)

Also i have heard that the loud speaker is quite low. Now how weak would that be. Will it be not able to wake me up when the alarm rings??

Last question irrelevant to the thread title. My ISP in India is Sify. Now they have rpm and non-rpm (sh) based linux dialer. Will any of these work. There is also a free java based dailer with .jar extension where in i pass info like

sify.jar -u xxxxx -p xxxxxx from a batch file in windows.

. which would be the best java emulator to use in Andriod and how? Guys iam new to andriod. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
actually the loudspeaker is quite load.. louder than my nexus one.. and with audiobooks and music you can get distortion..

plenty loud enough for ringtones etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] damianarnold:
Stunning!

Although I did have a 3rd party headphone buzzing problem that's gone away now......very strange.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nadernick:
The audio quality is absolutly amazing in my opinion. The headphones are very good and i also like the 5.1 option the musicplayer offers. (Sounds like sitting in the middle of the stage)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NZtechfreak:
Via headphones the SQ is indeed excellent, check GSMarena's review - they use objective measures of SQ and the Galaxy S is essentially perfect.

Loudspeaker is tons better than HTCs offerings, I find it outputs quite a nice sound, definitely loud enough for alert/calls/alarms.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shawn_pro:
Thanks a lot to all of you who took time to answer it. :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ConceptVBS:
I have to agree. Speakers are awesome. Also, the amount of native audio codec that the phone supports is nothing short of amazing.

Samsung incorporated their mDNSe (mobile Digital Natural Sound engine) chip inside this phone (its the same audio decoding chip used in their home theater and HD LCD TV's except its a mobile version). It supports 5.1 SRS sound too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] r.lepecha:
my wifi signal is realy poor on my htc tilt, it gets about 25% signal right next to my router, so i was wondering where is the wifi aerial in this phone so i can check the connections?

thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lufc:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] r.lepecha:
thanks a lot, the little copper connectors had snapped off so i have soldered some wire between them and the aerial, its sorted and the signal quality is even better!
[Touch HD General] bancika:
Hi guys, I have a serious and annoying problem with my phone. I have flashed it couple of times with different ROMs I executed successfully Task29 and nothing made things better. The problem happens several display turn-offs after flash (it works fine right after the flash) then when I touch the screen it register the touch about a santimetre or two above the point I touched. Another issue is that it is not very fast (I am currently with the Energy ROM), i saw a video in youtube where the movements are very smooth and fast. What do you think I should do ?
[EVO 4G General] mattrb:
I am very sorry for the people that lost 4g.

I give my best wishes for them in getting up and running with 4g again. I see that there are fixes for MAC addresses getting borked.

I think there will be light at the end of the tunnel for people who have this issue.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
You broke everyone's 4G??
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] El Salvador:
Is there someone out there who has used these headphones with a Hero? Does the Control Talk feature work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] BRijpstra:
Can't find your particular model that quick but -->

Used to have V-Moda Vibe Duo with a single control button.

A lot of music players (at least cube, htc player, I assume DoubleTwist...) are able to interpret clicks on that button:

- single click = play/pause

- Double click = next song

- triple click might have been something, although I am unsure...

And while listening music -> incoming call --> Push button to answer, hold button to hang.

It was very comfortable to be able to have decent quality music + be able to have some control over the phone, but the double clicking was rather annoying, didn't always work (paused the song instead of skipping)

Nice looking brand by the way :)
[Windows Mobile] Behzad WM:
Hi Dear friend's .

How do add new Build [ 21907 ] for new ROM ???
[Windows Mobile] lapy:
dowload this package, extract it and swap the packages from your old SYS following your kitchen folder scheme.
[Windows Mobile] dotcompt:
If you are a beginner you should also read carefull and with patient this thread.

have a nice work
[Windows Mobile] Behzad WM:
thanks friend's . thanks . :D
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
read the main stickie... it has some kitchen tutorials... every kitchen has a diferent arrange of builds and pkgs ;)
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
So, down and to the point... what's the best ROM out there? I'm looking for performance and battery life (I know they're usually negatively correlated) but the best balance of both.

Thanks in advance...
[EVO 4G General] kiddecks:
obviously, it all depends on what you're looking for, but my money's with Fresh.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
try them pick the one u like and use it SIMPLE
[EVO 4G General] armystrong:
I've played with all of them and the best for battery life, signal and over all just awesome is DamageControl 3.2.2.1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=700649
[EVO 4G General] laydros:
I really like AOSP, so Bugless Beast has been nice. I don't really dislike the HTC homescreen or lockscreen, but I don't like the contacts, text messaging app, music app, browser, etc.

However bugless beast has some rough spots, there is an fc that shows up once in a while (not a problem, just annoying) and it doesn't show up as a usb drive on the computer all the time.

Fresh is probably my second favorite, and it isn't far behind even though it is almost straight Sense. I see a lot of people say it is their favorite. It seems like it may be the most robust and stable custom ROM as well, but I haven't tried all of them, only half a dozen or so.
[EVO 4G General] iLAofficial:
I like Bugless Pete's...

but moved on to Fresh because I like Sense. Plus I like the fact I can use apps2sd.
[EVO 4G General] M@XLOL:
This is a matter of opinion. You need to decide for yourself. I am using Culkulins ROM and really like it. In b4 this is moved to general / q&a
[EVO 4G General] effluent:
Only tried Fresh and Damage Control so far but I like DC better, I could tell an immediate difference in performance, unlike with Fresh. Both have Apps2sd which is a must for me. Apparently this phone has more app storage than most other Android phones, yet not even close to enough for me. I couldn't even put any graphic intensive games like Asphalt on before apps2sd due to lack of room.
[EVO 4G General] jedil1c1ous:
Damage Control works great for me as far as 2.1 roms. Just look at the activity for that thread.... most popular IMO and for good reason with all of the dconfig options and updates. They were one of the first to incorporate the OTA update into their rom... they stay on top of things.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
So Frech has the HTC Sense? I'd like that.

Also, will installing these different ROMs wipe my data? If so, what backup utility you recommend?
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
I like the fresh rom, but i'm using DC atm because of the OTA update built into it, i need the grounding fix but when fresh fixes it i'll be moving back.

I use titanium backup for the app data backup/restore and android commander for the app program backup/restore.
[EVO 4G General] ThornXBL:
Damage Control also has Sense, though you have the option to disable it.
[EVO 4G General] sopenco:
In case it hasn't been said enough yet - DamageControl all the way. Awesome ROM!
[EVO 4G General] ervman1:
I dont mean to be a d**k but you have to read and experiment on your own. There's no such thing as the "best" rom. Clearly all the devs here put a lot of work into their roms and the least you can do is try it and see which you like the most. Are you even rooted?? Your questions give the impressions that you don't even know the basics of rooting or installing your own roms...read the stickies

and yes both Fresh and DC have the Sense UI
[EVO 4G General] netarchy:
I use a modified Damage Control myself

Added in the latest busybox, Bash 4.1, made some tweaks to dalvik-cache to make it use the cache partition instead of the system partition (seriously, the cache partition is ~160megs and barely gets touched normally O.o), among other things.

It is worth noting that Damage Control (in my opinion) is quite good itself and stays pretty up to date, with a lot of nice features.
[EVO 4G General] driguez:
DamageControl my fav so far.

Sent telepathically via my Evo.

-_-
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
I understand, but I figured that by seeing what the recommendations are, I'd be able to exclude some unmentioned ROMs. Makes sense...

I am not rooted at the moment, but I am familiar with it (developed for my HTC Dash years ago). I haven't had much time at all to dive into rooting until nw. Unfortunately, the OTA update was run on this device so now I'm at the mercy of the devs around here to discover a workaround.
[EVO 4G General] howdyace:
Damage rom for the battery life. Seriously guys , if anyone and I mean anyone is *****ing and moaning about battery life , then they haven't tried DC's rom yet. And if Damage ain't on then trevE will answer.

I find a close second in polish and likability is Fresh's rom. Great rom . And I've run that one too.

I also ran Finisher by magnus.

And the froyo by avalaunch. Which is great but I need my camara and I hate having to flash to get it and then flash back.

I've also flashed Hero's over rom. But i didn't like the guys attitude in a couple of posts so I took it off.
[EVO 4G General] Hero_Over:
Im actually a really nice guy. I just let my personal life interfere with my development life. Ive apologized multiple times and will once more. Im sorry. My ROM sucks btw :D lol
[EVO 4G General] billobob:
I like DC with Sense turned off and facebook/twitter left enabled for contact sync + ADW launcher. My only gripe is the lockscreen is buggy, but other than that its good.
[EVO 4G General] Hero's Hero:
Baked Snack ftw
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
EVOlution v9

I don't need no stinkin camera!
[EVO 4G General] fallentimm:
Damage control by far. You want a rom that lasts all day or something you can customize to hell there's really no other choice. Everything is configurable with a gui you can use apps to sd, jit, use sense or no sense & so much more.

All their options are badass. Battery saber gets me a solid 30+ hours on moderate to heavy use. Performance gets me like 10. I see linpaq on bsaver of like 6 mega flop, 7 on performance, 9.9 on jit, 11 on jit with oc. No other rom has that flexibility.

Plus these guys are on the ball they had ota in their rom within HOURS. These guys are better than htc
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
DC is the best ROM until Pete comes back and fixes v0.4 of Bugless Pete
[EVO 4G General] muncheroo:
I'm a fan of Fresh. I feel it's more stable than all the other roms and it has very good battery life.
[EVO 4G General] brandenk:
[ROM] Baked Snack FTW

Baked Snack hands down. Hero_Over has always provided the fastest and most stable ROMs second to none. He is one of the few devs that really understands what he is doing.

Here is a link to the ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701685
[EVO 4G General] howdyace:
To be honest , that was a nice gesture. Perhaps , and I mean perhaps I'll check out that kernel you posted on the 24th. :)

You still taking the summer off for vaction from school?
[EVO 4G General] torremitsu:
I agree 100% Talk about a beautiful, fast ROM
[EVO 4G General] Sebrina:
The best ROM out at the moment is the one you're using because if it wasn't why would you be using it?

There is no best ROM in my opinion it's a matter of taste and productivity, not all ROMs will be "the best" for all users, depends on your needs and taste.
[EVO 4G General] mrchu001:
i completely agree. i was using fresh for a while, then i tried out DamageControl and i loooooved it. now i moved on to Baked Snack. it is by far the best ROM i've used. Stable, fast, and i love the small theme changes that Hero_Over has done. definitely my favorite at the moment.
[EVO 4G General] deekoi:
I've been jumping back and forth between fresh and damage control in i like them both. both are pretty stable have very similar battery life savings. i haven't tried baked yet but I will give it a shot
[EVO 4G General] acrh2:
Until all the bugs are squished, the stock rom will remain the best rom for someone picky like myself.
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
Umm there was supposed to be a poll :(
[EVO 4G General] dadoc04:
im loving the Fresh rom...
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
Used to like Fresh the best but uninstalled and flashed the new stock update and am glad I did, the new radio is much faster than the previous for both 3g and 4g speeds and some things in the OS are just way faster now like manage applications opens in 2 seconds vs like 20 seconds before, PDF attachments in emails open in a second or two vs 15-20 before overall everything just seems faster and more fluid. So for now the updated Stock ROM is the best by far for me. Maybe in another few weeks I will go back to some of the modded ROMS but for now I can't give up the stock updated!
[EVO 4G General] nuformzdesign:
I use Senseless on mine currently, but in the past I've had both Fresh and Damage ROMs on my previous Hero. Senseless just seems to run excellent for me, I'm disappointed his ROM doesn't get more attention.

I got the link in my sig, check it out.
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
I've used DamageControl, Baked, Fresh and the Froyo build.

I'll stick with

Fresh

for a while.

DC was nice but i didn't see significant battery performance over Fresh. Something about DC feels 'too much on the edge' whilst Flipz seems a tad more conservative. don't recall why i uninstalled Baked so quickly. Froyo will have to wait until it's fully functional before i migrate to it...but it's nice. /shrug

I did notice a significant battery improvement after upgrading wimax and radio last week. yes, I'm running the Fresh .5.3 w/ the 2.05 baseband.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TickLe MY eLMo:
I know the title is a little misleading, but I'm curious is there is a app, or a fix for the awful 720p quality the evo shoots, or even the microphone quality(not sure it this is a hardware microphone limitation or not). It is pretty bad, horribly compressed, can't deny that, I'm just curious if anyone has put together an app or a rooted phone fix for this?

Hi,

I've seen some nice toggle switch buttons but i'm wondering how to install them... Is it the same as changing an icon or?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
you've probably seen cookies home tab 1.8 which comes with a whole set of toggles

Yes I have the CHT1.8.5 standard toggle switches who are preinstalled. But was wondering how to change them.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
ahh right, sorry i see.

the icons are in the Windows folder called CHT_switch_xxx.png BUT each icon is made of two icons, the item, example CHT_switch_airplane.png with a frame which is either CHT_switch_on.png or CHT_switch_off.png

you could try changing the icon path in

Ordered a leather case of ebay for £8.99 its basic but i do think its better than the cloth one you get with it:)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140417784761&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muo:
Ah very nice. I would interested in a write up of your opinion and images with the Streak in the case when you get it, if not too much trouble.

I need to purchase one pretty soon if the US release indeed is July 14th.

.
[Streak 5 Accessories] fantasytozi:
BAD EXPERIENCE with the seller.

I order this one on 22/6, havent received it. I sent a couple of email to the seller, and wanted to return the item if he had not sent it yet. He just closed my return case and reported to ebay that he dealt with me through email, the thing he never did.

I will wait a couple of day more before opening a dispute through paypal and report to ebay
[Streak 5 Accessories] rovex:
The one listed above? The case isnt available until the 3rd July (as its says in the listing) so you wouldn't have got it. Since the 3rd was Saturday id have expected delivery about Wednesday this week.
[Streak 5 Accessories] fantasytozi:
I purchased the case on 22/6 which saved it was available on 23/6, he also marked it as despatched on that day. That's why I am so upset right now with the seller attitude
[Streak 5 Accessories] fards:
I ordered one of the super trader ones yesterday, its just been shipped, should be here in the morning.

Guess it will take up a bit less space than the oakley hard case I've been using to transport the streak this weekend..
[Streak 5 Accessories] flumps:
this one might be good. they custom make it for you

$bay:

design your own case
[Streak 5 Accessories] fards:
have a look at some of the comments on the "easecase" on xda..

especially the HD2 forum, some people weren't that impressed with them

I'm presuming Noreve will come out with a case at some point for the streak, their cases are really good, I've been really happy with my Hd2 one.
[Streak 5 Accessories] rovex:
My HD2 easecase is really nice. It fits perfectly and is well made. Id say the leather isnt high end quality, and does look fake, but its been durable.

Ive seen some of those so call high end cases that cost £50+ and frankly they look like rubbish. Good leather, but not so well made or fitting.
[Streak 5 Accessories] theonlynickleft:
I think you have given him more than enough time. REPORT before he skips town !!
[Streak 5 Accessories] fards:
I got my case from superetrader, via the ebay store, the link above this morning having ordered it over the weekend.

I suggest dropping them a line via their online shop, they have been pretty responsive in the past. I've never had an issue with them

Anyway the case isn't too bad, theres a recess for the streak and a cover held in place with two magnets. Not certain what effect those magnets will have on the screen or the compass. But we'll see..

Its not a tight fit, with the cover open, so it's pretty easy to get the streak out. It's a pity the internal compartment isn't see through so you can see the screen without moving it from the case. But overall it should do the job of protecting it while its in my bag.
[Streak 5 Accessories] fantasytozi:
I will give them one more day. Sent 5 emails, no response, what a top-rated seller, lol

Whoa thank you very much for doing this! A huge help.

- Do you think it would be easy to cut off the belt clip?

- Can you fit it in your pocket?

- Does the flap have magnets in it?

- Does the flap bother you?

For me personally, I think the flap would be very bothersome. I would prefer just a simple slide out.

Thanks again :D
