Please move this where ever you like... I didn't know where to post it :)

So I have been doing lots and lots of research. According to the most downloaded on Androidspin, and the reviews in the rom bible, here is what I have found.

This is my first rom that I am trying and I want to to be fast and stable, and pretty much no bugs. (and yes I know there will always be some bugs with custom roms)

2.1 Roms

Cyanogen 5.0.8

HTCClay's SuperBadCM5 1.7 (which I am aware is a theme of Cyanogen)

Super E 1.0.2

Complete Eclair v2.2.1

There are also numerous threads about which 1.6 rom is arguably the most stable, fastest, and prettiest. any thoughts?

Here are the ones I am considering.

Super D 1.11

HTCCLAY CSDI Xperia Edition

zachattack052 & xillius200's Donut Build (v2.6)

Htcclay's SuperFast/StupidFast v1.3.3

any others I should consider?

Opinions on 10mb ram hack? Does this work on 2.1?

Opinions on Jit? on 2.1?

Opinions on swap? Do I use it? What size?

Do I use ext2 ext3 or ext4?

opinions on compcache?

Does *#*#4636#*#* really do anything?

adw launcher or launcherpro?

Thanks for your opinions.
[Nexus One Accessories] finisterre:
So about 3 months ago I carelessly lost my stock neoprene pouch.

Since then I've raised 4 calls with HTC UK support via email and phone, and been promised a replacement each time. Has it arrived? Hell no!

Then I emailed HTC US to see if I could order from them (happy to pay cost and shipping to the UK) - no reply.

It really is a bit poor how hard it is to get hold of another one. I know 3rd party cases are available, but I loved the original. I did order a £3 replica from Hong Kong but it's rubbish.

I don't suppose anybody in the US would consider ordering me a couple and posting them to me in the UK - to be paid back via Paypal? I know US users have had success getting them free and paid.

Thanks.

I feel your pain, I thought I lost mine last night and my girlfriend thought I had lost my mind xD.

I've emailed HTC and will let you know when I hear back.

They are not exactly the same but they really come very very close and it's great quality. I bought 4 of them and i have 2 original too.

I'll sell you mine. How much does HTC want for theirs?
[Nexus One Accessories] irishrally:
I'll buy it if the OP does not want it. The N1 sleeve is the coolest mobile accessory ever made.
[Nexus One Accessories] finisterre:
Thanks. I believe they charge $7.95 and $7.95 shipping in US. I could give you $10 and I think you should be able to ship it for a similar amount or less (there's no major hurry).

PM me if that's OK.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] clint1225:
I just rooted my Mytouch a couple days ago and everything worked perfect and i did it without bricking my phone. I was trying to get the supercsdiv4 rom, but i needed to flash the lateset radio and heres where the problem started. the radio tried to flash was 2.22.23.02. I used the recovery image to flash it and then when i rebooted the phone it stayed stuck at the splash screen and i cant get into fastboot or recovery anymore. it just boot to the splash screen and stays there. I know i cant get my phone back but i want to know what i did wrong so that i dont ever do it again. maybe it was because the radio i had was a 32a radio and this radio i tried to flash might have been 32b but im not sure why that wouldn't work if my phone is 32b

here was my system

pvt 32b

Hboot 1.33.2005

radio 3.22.20.17
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sike89:
have you tried taking the battery out for a bit.. relax a while, then put it back in and try to get into recovery mode (home and power)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] clint1225:
this actually happened yesterday and my phone was off the whole time so it has had plenty of time to rest. My phone is truly bricked
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sike89:
well im sorry to hear that, but i have no idea what you did wrong, unless you did flash a 32a over a 32b or the other way around, im sure that could really mess up the phone.

may be a useless idea but have you tried a hard reset

1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the HOME and BACK buttons.

2. Briefly press the END CALL/POWER button while continuing to press the HOME and BACK buttons.

3. When you see the screen with the 3 Android

images, release the HOME and BACK buttons, and then press the TRACKBALL.

i have no idea if it will do anything but might as well explore EVERYTHING.

Similar Problem (Partial Brick?)

Not to take anything away from clint1225 but

I have a similar problem and didn't want to start another thread.

I tried unrooting my devices using the method

described at theUnlockr.com. Everything was fine up until I tried using

their sappimg file (said it worked for all old magics).

At the hboot stage, it found the sappimg but the update failed.

However, the magic now says:

SPL-1.33.0006 (SAP50000)

Radio- 2.22.19.261

Ship S-On G.

It's a 32A version.

I had an engineering spl and 6.35xx radio before I attempted to unroot.

Oh I'm not able to access recovery but I can access

fastboot (computer can't find it though under "fastboot devices")

Other than that, it's stuck at the first splash screen.

Any advice/tips?

Sorry for the long post and thank you.

Good luck to you too, clint1225!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] YamatoDelgato:
UPDATE *Similar Problem (Partial Brick?)*

In the adb, the serial number

of the htc magic is coming

up under "fastboot devices".

However, if I try to

flash a recovery for example, the adb

returns "remote access not allowed".

I've read about the gold card method

but my phone won't boot up properly

(stuck at splash screen) and I can't

access recovery. Only fastboot seems to be

working.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] MasterColdSoul:
Take it for what it's worth coming from a newb. But from my understanding if you can reach your phone with Fastboot your a NOT bricked. But this is what I have heard here on XDA, I haven't proven this myself.

Check around and hopefully with fastboot you can get your phone back. Good luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] koolpre:
I did the exact same thing a few weeks back. I flashed a 3.22 radio over my 2.22 radio, thinking it's an upgrade but after it reboots, it wont get past the logo screen. I spent the whole day trying to find ways to recover it but cannot find any. Thank god I have warrenty on it so I went to the Tmobile store, told them I updated it and when it restart, it got stuck on the logo screen. They gave me a new phone and told me dont f-up this one. Now I'm afraid of updating my phone to the 6.something radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] YamatoDelgato:
Update *Similar Problem (Partial Brick?)*...again.

MasterColdSoul and koolpre,

Thanks for the tips and luck!

I figured it wasn't a total brick so I searched

the whole day on google and xda.

What I can tell you is that I now have a functional phone.

I used the rogers "mandatory" update (2 sappimgs) to

get my phone (rogers 32a) working again (boots fully).

However, I now have the SPL 1.76.0010 which means

I've lost root functionality and it's harder to get root.

But I could use the phone to make a gold card and get root again.

Boy I'm glad this worked! I should have learned my lesson

but I will probably try to root, hehe:cool:!

Thanks to google search and xda community!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] clint1225:
just because the radio starts with bigger numbers doesn't make it an update. 3.22 was the old radio and 2.33.23.02 is the latest radio so you were actually downgrading your radio and thats why your phone brick. Just letting you know because you seem to be under the wrong impression. Dont make that mistake again. just do a little research to find the latest radio.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] award982:
Hey all!

Sorry for bringing this up again, but i just cannot accept it. There are a lot of devices using qualcomm's msm7xxx chipsets, take a look here:

http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdamaster&posted=1&cpu=a7200

Seriously, are drivers missing in all of them, or is it so hard to port it to kaiser?

htcclassaction.com has no news since releasing the htc-ca open gl se drivers in 2008, but still the device even with them suffers from severe performance issues. Still no 2d drivers, and still no direct 3d drivers. What is going on? As if in 3 years it has not been possible to fix the damn drivers??? Are there no good developers that have the phone that would be able to fix this? if htc can do it in a couple of months, couldn't atleast a group of developers do it in 3 years?

And the device is still in production, so there will probably be more people that buy this phone 'couse of it's amazing power and keyboard, and to be honest, get a piece of s***...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Moved as not ROM Development.

If you search there are threads that will state why we never got full driver support, your question is it hard? Course it is...

Look @ how much work went into class action.

Kaiser isn't still in production if they are available there old stock ;)

Also how many bits of software really require the drivers many of us are satisfied even without them, especially since the advancement in nk.exe where we can get a more used resource RAM ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Put the dog to rest!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] award982:
Old stock? I am not sure of that.

http://www.htc.com/www/product/tytnii/overview.html

And after all, if it wouldn't be in production, i think that the entire tytn 2 sub(sub)forum would be in legacy device's subforum :D

EDIT: and can you post any links to why we will never get the drivers please? my searching skills are low, i cant find anything :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
The phone is not in production same as Touch Pro/Touch Cruise and more, there were lesser number user devices placed in the legacy section as it goes on if a forum is still used.. ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] award982:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
This phone is old, who cares. The drivers were never made because it wasn't worth anyones time, people moved on to better things so the money wasn't there. Just leave it alone.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] kudvu002:
I am wanting to know if anyone can port the program for the nexus to the aria, that when the trackpad is pushed the phone will wake. I know that coming from an Iphone that is a huge benefit.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] bwolmarans:
seconded.

:D

it's a pain to reach over to push the power button every time because the phone slides towards if you if face up on desk pushing trackpad button much more elegant solution.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] kura808:
Hello, I am a new member and I thought I'd join and tell you what I found. I've been using my Aria for about a week already. I used lock2.0 (bugs and keeps your phone running idle, not standby), nolock (basically takes away lock all together and only wakes it up), this widget screen mode (bugs) thing and a couple others..

Anyways the best solution (in my opinion) is this app called "lockbot." It wakes the phone up using the trackpad and volume keys. The free version lacks the password but if you get the pro, you can add the pass code functionality (not for me especially if you need to do an emergency call plus you can always download a kill app in case your phone gets stolen). A good thing about it too is that you can modify your lock screens i.e. iphone style, x10 style, froyo style, etc. I got 5 different types cycling randomly. You can also change a few options i.e. lock during a call so you dont do a "face hang up" or shake to unlock. The only real bug I found so far was the x10 lockscreen because it would lag for about a second.

I know a few may say "oh the side keys will get hit and drain the battery" but honestly, after using the app for like 5 days, I haven't notice any change in battery consumption. Not wearing out your power button pretty much outweighs losing a minuscule of battery life.

Hope it helps. Of course you can try out the other apps to see if they suit you =)
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] deeoh:
I'm using lockbot now and it's exactly what I was looking for. I'll keep an eye on battery life and report back if it seems to drop.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Gorilla800lbs:
Awesome suggestion, thanks!!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] kura808:
Btw I was going through the configurations. Apparently you can set a lock code for the lockscreen once you swipe it. You have to pay for the swipe lock but it's free to put in a numeric lock code.

Cheers
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] joshuo:
I tried lockbot and uninstalled it.

-It does not support the Aria's native resolution.

-Won't let you load BG pics smaller than the 480 x 846 or whatever the res of the device it was made for is.

-When you press the power button to lock and then immediately hit it again, it never locks, just shows the home screen again.

Would it be hard to port the N1's app? I just want something simple that works
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] bwolmarans:
nope

didn't work out for me.

almost locked me out of the phone.

I think it doesn't play well with task killer.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] pcruz:
Im using an app called "no lock" disables the slide lock and you can jus press the optical button, volume or power buttons to unlock the phone.

Optical wake working for me

EDIT-Short Version...

-:Have Clockwork Recovery Installed and know how to use ADB:-

-DOWNLOAD ATTACHED qwerty.kl (may need 7zip to extract file from archive...)

-BOOT into CLOCKWORK recovery with NO USB PLUGGED INto phone!!!

-PARTITIONS>MOUNT /SYSTEM

-adb push qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout|adb reboot

END EDIT

First android phone! I love it. I too wanted optical press-to-wake, particularly because my ATT case made the power button a bit of a pain to press. First real post, been here a bit, I mostly just read/search.

Anyways...I had been searching around the file system getting myself acquainted with android and found /system/usr/keylayout.

It has 4 files in it, one of which is qwerty.kl. It sounded promising so I checked it out.

Long story short, I took a look at it, tried changing our DPAD_CENTER to WAKE instead of WAKE_DROPPED (just like the power button, seemed logical ;) ), but it didn't work. Did some more searching and saw that the key was key # 272 on another phone instead of 232 in our qwerty.kl. I have it working now. Here's the thread I read to figure it out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=729923

I did this in windows...(I have ADB working and Clockwork Recovery, you should get these too, invaluable tools)

1. Boot into clockworkmod recovery

2. Go to Partions Menu and Mount /System

3. adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl (this pulls a file, qwerty.kl, and puts it in your adb tools directory)

4. Now you need to open the qwerty.kl file and edit it.

5. Use notepad, or notepad++, or vi, anything really.

6. Search qwerty.kl for key 232 DPAD_CENTER WAKE_DROPPED

7. Change 232 to 272

8. Change WAKE_DROPPED to just WAKE

9. Save the file

Now we need to push the file back to the device. This sounds very easy, and is, except I had trouble and got stuck in clockwork twice and had to pull the battery, as I think when I went to select reboot or unmount in clockwork (using the trackpad...), my newly changed trackpad was probably making everything act up. So I tried twice and had to pull batt twice before I just figured I would streamline my commands. (edit-trackpad works normally in clockwork after next step.)

10. do this! adb push qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout|adb reboot

This will push your new qwerty.kl file to the phone and reboot it without you having to use the trackpad which could leave you potentially stuck in clockwork recovery, thus avoiding the inconvenience of taking off your case/back.

I attached my qwerty.kl in a 7z archive so you hopefully can just extract it to wherever you need it and just adb push it to /system/usr/keylayout.

Good luck. Let me know if it works.

When the phone reboots you will be able to press the optical trackpad and wake the phone!

I haven't really tested it more than waking the phone a half dozen times but it seems to do what I want. When getting stuck in clockwork concerns me, I will simply edit my qwerty.kl file as needed when doing clockworkmod recovery work as it is a fairly simple and straightforward process.

EDIT-phone functions EXACTLY as before except can now wake via trackpad press!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] SysAdmNj:
Questions, why were you using the trackpad in clockwork?

Also, I like how no lock works since I have a security code on my device. When I dont feel like entering my code everytime the screen blacks out, I just run no lock and I wake the device up using the trackpad. Will your modification do the same? Or once I wake the device up, it will take me to the security screen?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] yollasho:
Because I could...? haha. I think it did the same thing when i tried selecting with the power button as well, can't recall, and didn't futz with it enough to remember it today. Could be a clockwork error or my own...

This doesn't get rid of the lock screen, it just wakes the phone with a trackpad push which I believe was the original intent of the thread. "No lock," well...gets rid of the lock screen which is a different function all together. I don't use a code/pattern on my phone, just the standard drag down lockscreen, its not terribly inconvenient to me.

I find it a bit more convenient since my thumb is already there when I pick up the phone. Also, whenever I would demo my phone to anyone else (whether they owned an iphone or not) they would ALWAYS try to push the trackpad to wake it, and I would ALWAYS have to point them to the awkward power button.

I'm not a huge fan of installing random stuff, and this does exactly what I want. Simple fix ftw.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] matt_b:
this is awesome. going to try it once i get home. thank you so much!

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] yollasho:

Very usefull ..

Sticky @ Development section please ! :D
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] ryan92084:
haven't done this yet so feel free to correct me but this looks to just change the wake button from the power to the optical. is there a way to allow both to wake the phone?

either way great work.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] pvillasuso:
Both wake the phone !
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] GameGod72:
no, it only adds wake to the optical button. power button functions as before.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] ryan92084:
Excellent
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] dandrumheller:
Spectacular - Thank You!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] :
Both buttons wake the phone after pushing the edited qwerty.kl.

I find myself using power/optical about 50/50. Really depends if I'm pulling it from my pocket or it's already out.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] anika200:
This hack has no effect on my aria. Changed to key 272 pushed back onto phone after remount and then reboot. Nothing. pulled the qwerty.kl file back off the phone to verify it has been changed and indeed it is. Crazy?

Update: ok this is wierd, I just installed no lock and Now the optical wake button works. I guess you need both. Anyway this is great thank you for the tip.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] :
No. You do not need both. I have never installed no lock and do not have it currently installed. I believe no lock adds that functionality as well as getting rid of your lock screen. I personally have never used it.

I am guessing you did not change the "WAKE_DROPPED" to "WAKE." I think it has worked for others, no reason it would not for your specific Aria if you made all of the prescribed changes.

You could always just push the qwerty.kl I posted.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] pvillasuso:
That's exactly how I did it ! just pushed your file ...

Thanks again ... I'm using this feature a lot now ! :D

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] hi2u2:
Works great for me, thanks.

Everybody, just push the file he posted instead of making the edits on your own. When opened in notepad the formatting is all weird and makes it difficult to identify the exact values you are supposed to edit. I suspect this is the source of most people's problems.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] :
OK, glad to know it is working properly for most everybody.

Yes, I agree notepad is horrible at this stuff and it does make the formatting hard to look at. Notepad++ or Wordpad at the very least would be a better option for anyone planning on editing their own.

Good luck.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] sillyxone:
editing the kl file was easy, but thanks a lot for the tip on restarting right after to avoid the trouble. Now I can wake the phone with either button. Very handy. Thanks lot.

Sorry this maybe a dumb question but how do you push the file to the phone? I've already installed the HTC Aria Liberated B005 ROM and live wallpapers using the clockwork process.
