It would be brilliant if we could get Maemo running on the Desire. Considering it is after all just Debian linux it should not be an impossible task. The only difficulty is drivers but that will come with time.
[Desire General] executivul:
These days I'm busy with my exams,

I started the thread earlier than I can get to work for data/ideas collecting.

Now for what I plan on doing:

-boot a kernel and load the initial files from the sd card instead of internal flash:

h**p://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=689911

-put a simple init script to show "hello world" and drop you to a bash prompt,

from there is Linux installing/debugging

The drivers should be provided by the kernel: /dev/eth0 or /dev/wifi0 for wifi, /dev/fb0 framebuffer, etc etc etc.

Ok, so my Nexus One is rooted, and I have Amon's RA Recovery installed, so when I was notified that an update is available for my phone, it wouldn't install (I'm currently running the FRF50 leak from a few weeks back).

Can someone point me in the right direction, where I can get the FRF91 image rooted and install via Amon's Recovery?

I've clicked on the "View forum leaders" at the bottom of the page and got a question. Some assigned moderators (for example: first moderator on the list is +Que PPC) were shown as "Senior member" rather than "moderator" in their user profiles or posts. In this case, it is difficult to know if s/he is a mod or not in each of his/her post. Why? Any hidden agenda?
[About XDA developers] stylez:
It's because the mods specific to Chef central don't have a title they only moderate the specific area same as forum specific mods but they will have a title next to name and can only moderate the specific area appointed, then Senior\Committee mods can moderate everywhere on the forum.

No hidden agenda.
[About XDA developers] vichet007:
So do the Chef central mods (without title) have the same power as other specific mod (such as closing thread, banning member etc)? Or they will be titled first before having power same as other mods?

In addition, I've seen that we have different types of mod now. What are the main differences of power between specific forum mod, senior moderator and Moderator Committee?

Thanks
[About XDA developers] hilaireg:
The folks who moderate in CC (ex: Que PPC) should have their status (titles) changed to indicate that they moderate in CC. A note has been sent to the XDA Admins regarding this.

Moderator types:

Forum Moderator (New): moderates one or more sub-forums; usually devices forums but in some cases, generic forums such as CC. Can only moderate thread/posts in assigned sub-forums.

Moderator: moderates all of XDA, can apply account suspensions. This is the original moderator status.

Moderator Committee (New): group of moderators who have been assigned extra duties.

If I buy an HTC Aria and unlock it, would I be able to use my existing GSM card (on AT&T "Blue" network (older GSM)) to make phone calls and connect via wifi without upgrading my plan or buying data plan? I don't need 3G support but would welcome a new phone that would allow me to jump on wifi and get on the web now and then.

Possible?

I would think other folks would be interested in this same scenario and I tried searching, but couldn't find anything.

Thanks
[HTC Aria General] prata:
I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't be able to do that. I would think that any phone that obeys GSM standards that you stick a SIM in, should make calls on the network provided you have an active account. You don't need a data plan in order to do anything*, as I'm sure you know; however, that does mean you need to ensure you turn mobile networking off so you don't accidentally end up racking charges up for network access.

*YMMV, this has worked for me with different phones in the past.
[HTC Aria General] ryan92084:
because ATT scans the system for imei numbers occasionally you will ahve a data plan forcefully added at some point. If you call att and have a data block applied to your line you can supposedly lessen your chance of getting caught but its no guaruntee.

i find this business practice to be questionable at best but there is no sure fire way around it. They'll even add the plan to ouut of network phones that can't use their 3g band like the t-mobile version of N1.

Even if you call and convince them to remove you from the plan (an arduous process from what i understand) they'll add you back on in the next sweep.
[HTC Aria General] panda703:
i know a problem with this that occured on the iPhone was the EDGE network that the phone would randomly communicate with, idk how our phones work exactly with the whole edge/3g thing but its something that was a known issue with iphones
[HTC Aria General] :
You will be fine. When you activate the phone it asks if you have a data plan and gives you a option to say you don't have a data plan and to use WiFi only. And if your still worried you can download a HTC widget that turns off 3g completely. I have the 2gb data plan and I still disable 3g and WiFi unless I'm using it. So ya go get on because its a really great phone. Ps: about what another chap said about the iPhone using data with out his consent. Don't worry this is Android You have control over everything. One of the reasons we love android so much.
[HTC Aria General] dasspunk:
Thanks everyone for the info. I'll be giving this a go and will update this thread with the results.

Now I just have to make a final decision between the Aria and the Nexus One... I like the smaller size of the Aria but it seems like the Nexus is a better phone, and will have less AT&T issues... If anyone has a strong opinion one way or the other, feel free to share.

Thanks again!
[HTC Aria General] etm11871:
Aria or Nexus One

My wife and son both have Nexus One's. I have the Aria and think it is great. It was also a money issue. The Nexus One was $500 more. But I am not disappointed with my decision.

I have the Aria rooted and removed AT&T'S stuff. Put on Google Voice, Gizmo5, and Sippdroid and now have a VOIP phone. It works great and no problems with dropped calls yet.
[HTC Aria General] bogatyr:
If that was true, ATT wouldn't allow me to still have the unlimited $15/mo data plan from my original RAZR on every smartphone I've owned since getting rid of the RAZR. They still list me as a RAZR owner even though I've gone through 6 smartphones (3 were iPhones, Moto Q9C, Verizon Imagio Worldphone, Moto Backflip) now over the last two years and I still only pay $15/mo for unlimited internet.
[HTC Aria General] yanney:
yeah, and ive been using an unlocked blackberry storm on att for quite some time and used a blackjack and htc touch pro before that. they would have caught me a while ago if that was true.
[HTC Aria General] ryan92084:
its a newer policy that started late last year. for every person i've heard of still getting away with it there are dozens that haven't. there have even been people that switched from their smartphone w/o data to a dumbphone and then back to their original smartphone and have been nabbed by the scan. If you had a smartphone with no data before the policy change there is likely the feature "Smartphone Exclusion" on that line exempting you from the data plan (unless they notice that you switch phones that is).

they only scan for certain model's imei numbers( but good luck finding the list of which they scan for). For a while n1 users were getting away with it but have are now being nailed quite quickly.

Its right in the contract (that you sign automatically just by not canceling your service) that if they notice you using whatever they deem a "smartphone" they'll smack you with a data plan. The customer service reps are supposedly under the threat of suspension/firing if they remove the data plan as long as your sim is in said smartphone. People who have gotten them to remove the plan by switching phones got nabbed faster if they switched back.

I'm not here defending their position, as i find the whole situation to be a shadey money grab, just telling the OP how it is.

my only real tip is to call and have a data block applied to your line before ever putting a sim in your aria. The only fool proof way to avaoid data on a smartphone is to jump to t-mobile's no ctract plan unforutunately
[HTC Aria General] dr4stic:
I gotta agree here and tell you that the scanning process is real.

The key is that they have to care to put your IMEI number in their database (or rather, a range of IMEI's that includes your phone). When your IMEI comes up in one of their scans, it's done.

I had a Rogers Magic on my account for 5-6 months, never had a problem. When the Nexus One became available for AT&T, I immediately gave the magic to my mom and got myself an N1.

For a while I had no issue, must have been 3 months on the cheapy data plan. Then, sometime last month (I think) my phone was moved to the smartphone plan. Before I called AT&T, I checked the forums and sure enough, everyone with an AT&T N1 was being switched to the smartphone plan forcefully.

So, it's a matter of chance really. If you have a phone that shouldn't be on their network and is unlikely anyone would pay the expense and use it on their network, well... there's a chance they won't have your IMEI in their database. However, if it's one of their phones and it's a smartphone, you have little choice.

Fortunately though, they now have a better "tiered" data structure that can ultimately be cheaper... but it still sucks.
[HTC Aria General] dasspunk:
Unlock Code

I finally got the phone but AT&T will definitely NOT unlock the Aria. Support said it's probably because it's an exclusive phone. They were kind enough to mention that it "may be possible" to get a code somewhere else ;)

Can anyone recommend a reputable unlocker? I tried one on Ebay already but they were unable to find a code for the Aria. They offered to try another server for an additional $5 but I figured I'd go another route. They refunded the money though...

Thanks in advance for any help.
[HTC Aria General] dasspunk:
Returning the Aria

So after spending most of the day trying to sort this out, here's the deal. The phone I received from Amazon (and paid full price without a phone plan) can/will NOT be unlocked by AT&T or HTC or the unlockers on ebay.

AT&T couldn't tell me which phones might have this problem. The ONLY solution to be sure is to not buy anything from AT&T... which is what I plan on doing from here on out.

Too bad really... it's a nice little phone.
[HTC Aria General] Thundervore:
The scanning is real but i have been using a smartphone on my regular account for a few years now and didnt get caught yet. Seems people get caught easily when their account becomes delinquent. I let my mom use my old smart phone because hers were damaged and within 24 hours i received and email and a text message was sent to the phone saying that they placed the $15 200MB dataplan on her account.

I had to call them up and give them the IMEI number for her old phone in order for them to take it off which they didnt want to do right away because the account was past due, but was done eventually. But if you have the medianet bundle and they put the data plan on it removes the medianet bundle from your phone which they cannot add back on because the option no longer exists. I fought tooth and nail for them to put it back on but got nowhere.

I still have my Medianet bundle 5MB + 1500 texts for $15 a month that u use on my Aria and i dont even use the data part because i have WIFI at home, WIFI at work and Optimum Online WIFI most places outside so since the phone automatically switches to a WIFI signal when its in range its useless to pay for data i will not use.

What i have noticed and users have to be careful about is that if you send or receive a MMS while out of WIFI range the phone will not automatically disconnect from the 3G data until your back in range of a connectible WIFI sourcel. During this time if its syncing with your Mail, facebook, news, feeds, and other data things you can easily rack up 20MB
[HTC Aria General] flipf0nt:
its possible. Ive done it on an old ATT blue account from 6+ years ago. The trick is just getting them to unlock it for you by telling them you need to use it overseas. This needs to be done over 611 or other customer service number. They will need the IMEI number and will either email you unlock information after a few days or give it to you immediately. My ATT blue account blocked the customer service from knowing which phone I was currently using. They THOUGHT I was using my first phone that I signed with(nokia 3300).

Also note that ATT Blue accounts for the most part cannot be touched (feature wise). Ive called them multiple times and asked for a data plan and other features but they were never able to do it.

This is my experience, it may or may not work for you. Note that I have a FAN account, but that shouldnt matter.
[HTC Aria General] dasspunk:
So the question is where/how did you get your phone? Has anyone bought a phone from Amazon that could be unlocked? I seem to be missing something.

If I could have just gotten the Aria unlocked, it'd work just as I wanted.

Thanks
[HTC Aria General] dynamics_blue:
I dont know what dasspunk is talking about, there are people with the Aria unlocked on T-mobile!
[HTC Aria General] dasspunk:
Exactly my point... some Arias can be unlocked and some can't. I bought mine from Amazon full price/no contract; it can't be unlocked. Which ones can?

I'll ask again... where/how did you get your Aria?
[HTC Aria General] dynamics_blue:
my friend got the Aria on amazon and unlocked it. so maybe you didnt go to the right place to Unlock it.
[HTC Aria General] dasspunk:
Did he buy it outright ($330) or via a plan/upgrade ($0)?
[HTC Aria General] dynamics_blue:
$339 1st of all i doesnt matter if the phone is bought with or without contract its the same phone. i think you should start reading more on how to unlock phone and not make assumptions as you didnt do it right.

take care
[HTC Aria General] Thundervore:
Warning to everyone about using the phone without a dataplan and using Multimedia Messaging Service "MMS". I just got my phone bill and its a whopping $108 when its usually about $67 = 450 minutes for $39.99 + $15 media bundle + fees and taxes. All this because i managed to use about 4MB over my 5MB limit. This caused by receiving a MMS and the phone did not automatically switch it off and everything started syncing.

Even when Mobile data is turned off it didnt switch, i even tried enabling it and then disabling it and although it turned off it came right back on. I would have expected a yes/no to download the MMS like i got on windows mobile, it would say, you have a new MMS would you like to download yes/no.

So with ATT $0.01 per KB price i managed to rack up about $40 in just 5 minutes from receiving a MMS, great huh.
[HTC Aria General] dasspunk:
It matters if the IMEI number of the non-contract phones are listed as un-unlockable, which is what everyone I've spoken to has told me. This might make sense if AT&T is trying not to allow non-contract folks from taking the aria to another carrier...

Second of all, I think you could be much more helpful if you just answered the simple question I asked instead of adding your own (slightly dickish) assumptions about me. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this and share my experience.

Thanks
[HTC Aria General] dynamics_blue:
well well getting a little senstive here are we?

1st of all who is they? who told you that these phones are unlockable. of course they will tell you that as they are not suppose to talk about unlocking, i never heard of a GSM phone that cannot be unlocked.
[HTC Aria General] dasspunk:
Hey Blue... no no... not so much sensitive that annoyed. I've answered the questions you ask in previous posts but I'll type again for you... "they" are two AT&T reps and two ebay unlockers. If you think you can unlock it I'll gladly send you the IMEI number.

Also, could you answer the question I asked you? Did your friend buy it outright ($330) or via a plan/upgrade ($0)?

Thanks
[HTC Aria General] Troggie:
That is also a false assumption. The LG NEON that Rogers sells can not be unlocked. You can get a code for it but once you enter it the phone becomes bricked and Rogers or LG will not reflash or help fix it at all.

Not sure if the reason the OP is getting the run around about is because there is something similar with this phone or if AT&T are just being pricks about it and are giving people the run around until they get the green light from the PTBs that is it ok to unlock them now.

I know one person on Tmobile that even though they bought the phone outright were told they had to wait 3 months before they could get it unlocked because that was Policy on all new phones.
[HTC Aria General] dynamics_blue:
1st of all I did answer your question i told you it was the $339 one, but that went passed you.

2nd you are going to listen to ATT reps? those Ebay guys must not know there ****

2nd why would i want to unlock your phone? I am not in the unlock phone biz
[HTC Aria General] dasspunk:
Fail

Just to quadruple check, I tried two more unlock attempts but failed in exactly the same way. For whatever reason, my specific phone is listed as "Not Eligible" to be unlocked. AT&T reps can't explain why or if this will always be. Regardless, the phone goes back.

Thanks everyone for your help.
[HTC Aria General] sl8125:
did u get the unlock code from ATT? strange i got it unlock through them. it was hell but i got the code. but i got the phone through them.
[HTC Aria General] sl8125:
hey i noticed you have the media net bundle plan. does this plan still work with the aria? i use to have the unlimited media plan on my att fuse but when i upgraded they made me get the smartphone data plan. i still have a my lg shine that i can use for the imei registration. if you have media net and can use on the aria, i be making a phone call in a minute to make the changes.
[HTC Aria General] Mhyst:
Try this...

You wouldn't be allowed to register the unlimited media net plan on your Aria because they will have your IMEI registered to that number and their system will not allow the rep to put the appropriate SOC code on the line. What you "might" be able to do is put the sim from your Aria into your LG, wait a day and check through the online account manager at wireless.att.com to see when they update your Aria to the LG, then add the unlimited media net bundle to that number through the online account management system, then switch back to the Aria.

The scans are all legit, but someone has to manually switch the SOC codes on you (from your media net to the "new and improved" smartphone plan) which can take a little time for them to do.
[HTC Aria General] Thundervore:
Correct, they cannot do it while your SIM in in a smart phone, the options does not exist. You will not even see the medianet options in your features options in your online account until you put the sim in a nonsmart phone.

I worked around it because i didnt upgrade my phone line, i used someone else upgrade and just put my sim in. When i log on it does show up as an Aria though in my account but the scan have not caught me yet forcing my phone to the smart phone data plan. I wish they had unlimited medianet and more that 200 texts bundle :(
[HTC Aria General] friedice:
I've been using my Aria for over 2 weeks and still didn't get scanned. I initially upgraded another line in a family plan but then switched it over to my current line and no data plan has been forcefully added as of yet.

Now, I was thinking of calling AT&T and unlocking the phone. Do you think if I give them the IMEI number, there would be a bigger chance I'd get scaned as the IMEI would somehow be added to their database of smartphones (if it hasn't been yet) and it will force me into a data plan?
[HTC Aria General] Mhyst:
Odd that I can't go more than two days without mine getting scanned. Yeah... um... just be sure to give them the number of the family line you upgraded as the number using the Aria when you ask for the unlock code. It'll just make your life a lot easier. But even still, it is risky because the rep you talk to will have access to the whole account and they are required to put the smartphone SOC code on smartphone lines that they find.
[HTC Aria General] friedice:
I really don't know why the scan ignores me. I have a union FAN account, but I don't know if that makes any difference.

I obviously will put my old phone back in my current line and Aria into the upgraded line. Online, it almost immediately shows after the switch. What worries me is the IMEI of my Aria getting exposed, because evidently somehow the system keeps missing me right now.
