FYI, the Rom you flashed from the first link provided is stock rooted with the latest update.

Anywho, you heard right, you flash new roms the same way you flashed that Rom. Download the Rom to your sdcard, boot into recovery, wipe data cache and dalvik, flash from sdcard, choose the Rom you put on there and confirm. That's all there is to it!

The important thing to remember is to always wipe before you flash, this will ensure no errors occur.

Hey thanks for backing up data I heard nandroid and titanium which one is better
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
Two different things. You should have at least one nandroid that you know works, this is used encased you beef anything up from flashing or something and you want to return your phone to the exact state it was at when you did the backup. That's the purpose of nandroid, to backup a complete image of the state your phone is in, Rom and all (excluding radio and wimax)

Titanium is a utility you use to backup all of the apps you have installed, along with their data and market links. This is usefull when flashing a new Rom so you can easily restore all of your apps without having to download and install them again and again.

I have just purchased a samsung galaxy it has replaced my htc diamond 2 so i am coming from windows phone to android and i have a few questions. So far i am very impressed with my phone but i need to know if by default i can disable a running applications for example if i press a middle button there are a few apps running, how can i "kill" them? And is it possible to set the phone that it cannot access to download any data or how can i kill connection quickly because i dont want the phone doing something i dont like (the phone turns edge instantly as is trying to download something that i dont know)?

[Imagio ROM Development] ThaDeanesta:
First off, if you would search before you post, you would know that you can't make an 'Android' ROM for a windows mobile phone. You Can however install a package that allows you to boot XDAndroid.

Blackstone build (which is most likely compatable with the whitestone) here

And if that doesn't work, well you're pretty much out of luck.

You can always flash back to stock, so someone just try it.

My old Vogue just died, and getting a replacement is $90 since it is discontinued - OR - I can get an Imagio for $50 with my new-every-two deal.

Since I want to stick with Android, I need to know.

[Droid Incredible General] jordywashere:
"droid" is actually copyrighted & registered to George Lucas. Therefore Moto paid Lucas for the use of the name. HTC I'm assuming did the same.

After owning the first Android phone, I disagree with calling the Incredible a Droid.

Maybe because I think Motorola sucks.

"Droid" is a term used for a certain lineup of Verizon phones with Android. It's not a manufacturer-specific term, but rather Verizon's own doing.

[Droid Incredible General] gummehbear:
Droid is a Brand of Android phones on the Verizon Wireless Network, Verizon pays Lucas Arts.

The first Droid was the Motorola DROID Sholes.

http://j.mp/cuIeyv

Being that Verizon threw the DROID name around the Motorola Sholes, and never mentioned the name "sholes" everyone figured it was actually called the Droid.

The HTC Incredible is a Droid (confirmed by verizon).

http://phones.verizonwireless.com/htc/incredible/

The HTC Eris is also a Droid (confirmed by HTC).

[Droid Incredible General] oxidant11:
I love how many people reply with same answer, so I am going to do it also Verizon is paying for the rights for the name droid, not Motorola not htc, so yeah can be any phone that has Android and Verizon releases just depends on Verizon putting that name in front of it.

You do need to have hardspl on your phone--the thing that allows you to flash other roms...or jail breaks the phone using the iphone vocabulary. That really doesn't apply because the hardspl can't be removed by the manufacturer...you have to remove it if you want to.

I agree with LordVader on everything else. Great choices. I am running energy on mine today. I test a lot of different roms but come back to energy when I am travelling.

[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Sounds like something wrong with the proximity sensor. The phone should light back up when you take it away from your face. Although i can't be sure. (I'm no expert yet.)

I would suggest reporting it immediately to the retail shop. You'll get a replacement if it's really a defect.

[G1 General] fsr678:
I had to restore a backup because my G1 was stuck on the G1 screen. I've done restore before and it all worked fine. This time, I got an error...

1. First, I am running CM5.0.8 with 1.0.7 recovery.

2. Went into recovery and tried nand restore and got the following error telling me to running recovery via console using 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore'

3. Went into console and ran it and got the following error:

error: unable to mount /data, aborting

I've tried to use a copy of my backup files that I had on my computer by moving it to the sd card and still get the same errors.

I'm a complete noob and seem to have messed things up trying to learn more!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[G1 General] robertgibson:
It sounds like you might be having a problem with the SD card, take it out and see if the phone boots up. SD cards die all the time and give you various symptoms. If that doesn't work, put 5.0.8 on the card and re-flash it. Sometimes my nandroid restore gives me a error if I have too many backups saved, I just have to mount SD card go to nandroid folder -> (device id) folder -> and there will be a folder for each back-up you have made, get rid of all but the last 2 and run it again. This always works for me.
[G1 General] ezterry:
Sounds more like something happened to the userdata partition.. otherwise the error would indicate /sdcard or a md5sum error. (Not sure what I've seen such things but they where entirely my fault.)

From fastboot screen try running 'fastboot erase system -w' from your computer, booting recovery and trying again.
[G1 General] fsr678:
Thank you for the replies.

I think I messed something up due to user error. I was playing with turning swap on and off via a script I had installed (a great script by a member steveo I think). I turned it on correctly by using swapon30 from the terminal but I didn't turn it off correctly (used swapoff instead of swap-off I think). When the blue led wouldnt turn off, I tried rebooting and got stuck on the G1 screen. (I really have no clue if that's where I messed up but that was what I was doing when it got stuck on reboot).

Anyway, I did a wipe/factory reset then it started up fine. I then went back into recovery and restored my last backup from last night which went fine as well. Only kind of weird thing I noticed was that I had to reinstall Google Maps from the market and now it's showing as installed in "system" whereas before it was showing as "internal".

When I did a factory reset and then ran a recovery, perhaps I needed to reflash the google apps that is part of the original CM5 install?

Appreciate the replies guys! :)

This is incredible.

I TAKE IT BACK, THIS IS JUST FOR PALM AND WINDOWS MOBILE. I KNEW IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, BUT STILL GOOD.

With this great add-on, you have the ultimate travel companion. Take your PDA with you overseas, including countries like Canada, Mexico, China, India and more. For use with Windows Mobile or Palm operating system devices, this add-on includes unlimited international web access and email. You can find the nearest piazza on the go, reply while relaxing and keep up with your inbox beyond the borders.

This comprehensive coverage also includes access to your corporate email account with Microsoft Direct Push Technology via ActiveSync. Pair it with the Samsung ACETM, and you can connect to the widely used overseas GSM/GPRS networks in more than 110 countries.

Pricing

* Data Worldwide — $40/mo.

------------------------------------

If you are going to travel, and if your EVO works on that country, you can activate this for one month, and when you are back you deactivate this.

I have two friends with iPhone, one went to South Africa, and just for not tUrning off the internet, he got a 3000.00 bill.

Another friend went to Europe and India, and the bill was so high, that he doesn't want to hear iPhone or ATT again in his life. And his dad is on the Forbes list for India, so Imagine.
[EVO 4G General] Harfainx:
You're wrong about your update. Well, you're not wrong, but they told you bad information.

I just had this active on my Evo as I drove through Canada. It was the $40 a month "Unlimited Data Worldwide".

You just have to talk to the right person.

My order of events to get this working:

1) Go online and talk to customer support. They tell me that after the 10th of this month, there will be no unlimited data add-on.

2) Call and be told that only Palm and BlackBerry phones are capable of this add-on.

3) Call and be connected to the International Department. They tell me that my wife's Hero could use it, but not my Evo. Their reason was "The new 4G setup makes it not work worldwide"

4) Go online to their international department's live chat. They tell me that I can only do unlimited texting in Canada for free, but no data without being charged 0.02 cents per KB.

5) Call back and talk to someone competent in the international department, they activate the add-on onto my plan.

6) Spend 13 days driving around Canada with unlimited data, ftw.

Read below and call that number to get it working for you.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brutzel1:
First of all, hello to everyone. I have been reading through a lot of threads here in the last few weeks after getting my HD2, especially the ones about battery life.

I have never owned a smartphone, so I have no comparison but I'm barely getting through 1 day of use when fully charged! And I'm not even using it that much yet, Wifi is off, no data transfers, just some texting and calls. I have installed Bandswitch and Battlog, didn't really help though.

Got the phone brand new (T-Mobile US) and haven't done any major tweaking yet, it's still pretty much stock with a few programs that I installed so far.

Do you guys have a similar experience or is it completely different? I love the phone, but if I dont even get through one day of use (and I want to use the phone in the future, not just for surfing but for music streaming or web browsing), I would have to bring it back.

Any help appreciated!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
It's just something you have to live with, buy a spare battery, or the extended battery, flash a lighter ROM, adjust screen brightness turn off push e-mails etc etc.

I can get 2 days battery from very light use. i.e. a few texts and calls a day, no Wi-Fi, bluetooth or internet browsing. That's just how smartphones are.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brutzel1:
So how do you do it on a daily basis?

My battery is fully charged in the morning and lets assume I'm using the phone for what I bought it for - some music streaming, gps here and there if I need it, some web browsing, calls and texts etc.

I haven't even started using most of the features of the phone and my battery has died twice on my already while I was out at night.

How can that be normal or acceptable? I can't charge my battery every 6h...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
Maybe you shouldn't have a smart phone? Battery technology is ****, it's a shame, but it's true. The only thing I can suggest is a spare battery, I carry one everywhere.

I generally watch an hour and a half of video a day on my phone, text, call, use the internet and I can still make a 9 hour day with 40%+ battery left, and just incase I am out and about in the evening before I have a chance to get the phone on charge I have the spare.

But with that said half hours charge from the mains will give you a good 30% topup I very seldom have to swap the batterys and I use a pretty juicy ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephestione:
or maybe not ;)

Given his kind of use, 2 days should be normal. Right now I'm squeezing 3 days out of this battery, and that's only because I swap it out when it's at 10%, otherwise it could be a little longer... and a few calls here and there is not the only thing I did with it... it's still my work pda after all

Since it's pretty much stock, unless it gets better with time (the first recharging cycles are the worst) and even after a hard reset it won't get better, it probably is something wrong not software related.

Install battclock and check the standby battery drain, shouldn't be much higher than 4mA, up to 7mA could be normal, any higher than that, especially if significant, and you've got something wrong, and found the cause to the short battery life.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] argentocruz:
First off, buy a couple of cheap oem batteries from here...

Now, these eBay batteries have performed slightly better than the original battery...

Some of us smartphone users are so used to poor battery life we have power charging cradles at home work and car just to keep the charge up... And have spare batteries every in case of emergency...

I take my phone off the charger at 6am to go to work... My avg day is 6-10 calls, 20 reminders, an hour of UNO, an hour as a wifi router and I return home at 5pm with 50-60% battery life...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
they are trying to make batteries smaller and thinner so they can make the phones thinner and smaller so battery life is compromised. But you do need to give it some time to settle in.

Back up batteries and cradles to charge them are cheap and an easy solution. So are extra chargers to keep at work, in the car, etc. Most people can charge their phone at least an hour during the day and that should give you all you need.

The only smartphone that I didn't carry an extra battery for was the moto q9c, because it came with an extended life battery. But on these phones, that probably isn't the best option.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brutzel1:
So what did you guys do to improve the battery life of your HD2? Are there any specific programs (I heared about G-Profile) you are not supposed to use or did you guys just deinstall all the T-Mobile Apps?

If I can just get 1 day of actual use out of it I am OK with that. I just dont want to have die every second or third day if I use more often than normal...

Any suggestions or may tests I could do? I feel like I could stream music on Slacker for about 90 Minutes and the battery would be dead...

EDIT: Just did Battlog for about 15 Minutes, my phone uses between 15ma and 31ma when in standby. So where do I start, how do I find the culprit?
