[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] steviewevie:
Some ROMs include a new splash screen, and some don't. The EnergyROM series doesn't include a splash screen, so that's why you can still see the Core splash screen.

You can find utilities to replace this if you search for "splash screen".

Task29 won't affect this (i.e. it doesn't touch the splash screen, nor the radio either), but it does a good job at wiping the ROM area itself.

If the problem still happens after a task29 and a flash (i.e. the lockups), then you should post about this in the thread relevant to the ROM you're running.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sigma20xx:
Thanks for the info guys. I'm at work but I'll try out the task29 thing when I get home. I didn't post this in the energy rom thread because I didn't want to seem like I was directing my problem at that rom until I had a good idea of what was going on. If the problems still persist, then that's where my next post will be.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rgb-rgb:
You can always reflash a stock ROM. That will give you the original spash screen back and then you can flash the custom ROM again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sigma20xx:
Well, it wasn't the splash screen that I was worried about. Seeing the splash screen made me think that the core cell rom was conflicting with the energy rom. After hearing what steviewevie had to say on the subject, I know otherwise. I'll also install a custom splash screen later now that I know that can be done to.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] natecglenn:
You can go here for the steps to change the splash screen its actually pretty easy and fun.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sigma20xx:
Ok, I ran Task29 and I've installed the stock rom. Do I need to do another HardSPL before I can flash a new rom?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] natecglenn:
No you only need to perform the hardspl once which you have already done so from now on when changing roms just make sure to task 29 then flash new rom and thats it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sigma20xx:
Oh? I didn't use the stock rom that was put up on this site. I actually downloaded the Tilt 2 rom from the HTC site. So I thought that would have made some kind of difference.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] steviewevie:
HardSPL was designed to stay on the phone, even if you flash stock ROMs. You have to specifically run the relocker utility (from the HardSPL thread) if you want to go back to the stock SPL (e.g. for warranty return).

MOD Note

I'm moving your thread to General. This has nothing to do with ROM development. Custom ROM usage yes, but not Development.

Step By Step tutorial to get it working

1. Download BIOS File - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GEW0PM4S

2. Download roms from http://www.emuparadise.org/ Make sure you own the original copy or that would be considered illegal.

3. Download http://www.neillcorlett.com/ecm/ (Mac users download the Mac GUI Port in the link)

MAC Users you will need to download the expander for the above program to work. Free download http://www.stuffit.com/mac-expander.html

After you download the expander drag the ECM program (.sit) into that expander, you will get a new folder with the correct file in it.

4. Browse the zipped rom until you locate the .ecm file

5. Extract or move the .ecm to your desktop

6. Open the downloaded ecm program and select un-ecm

7. Locate your .ecm file

8. Click begin

9. Wait a few minutes, after its complete put the new .bin file in your nexus one

10. THATS IT!

This tutorial was mostly for mac users, cause I was having a hard time with my mac. Just want to help others.

Thanks a bunch for this it could be very helpful when having to text on the go. Have to get used to the keyboard totally different layout.
[Droid Eris General] droidkevlar:
I am so feed up with people on this board that think they are entitled and better than us to ask a question that has been asked a million times, instead of searching. It is only getting worse. Now that leakers have root, ppl from androidforum (where the mods treat them like babies and shield them) are flooding this forum with repeated threads and posts. We are not helping them by answering the questions for them. We need to stop this! I for one will no longer give the answer after a smart @$$ reply. I will only leave the smart @$$ comment in.

For those that are lazy and read this. Why do you think you are better than any of us that use search, trial and error? If yuo dont understand it, and cant search, then dont do it. Plain and simple.
[Droid Eris General] cpupeli1:
I'd say don't answer them. I myself am not educated at all in rooting and could answer a decent amount of questions I see.

So....rather than looking up their question to see if they could have done the same thing previous to them making a new thread....don't :p

By doing this we'll at least take some slack off from the moderators from closing unnecessary threads bashing foolish OP's....and instead let them focus on real questions and site maintenance. I feel doing otherwise will lead to more silly threads and more attention to these threads a.k.a. bashing them you know.

Also we need not let this thread turn into ANYTHING like XDA vs. androidforums because it still is a teaching/learning community, some people just need to work/search harder before they make threads.
[Droid Eris General] droidkevlar:
I am not trying to make it a af vs xda. Was just giving an example of how things are there. Whole point of my rant/post was people need to search and ppl need to stop helping ppl that dont search. But just putting that wouldnt have felt better after typing. ;)
[Droid Eris General] hoovnick:
I am totally with you droidkevlar. I am no senior member or dev or anything like that. I'm just a regular user who is fortunate enough to have devs like you working to make our phones great. I posted this in a thanks thread, but I suppose I could have posted a new thread like you did.
[Droid Eris General] Jp50:
the new guys need to stop posting help threads in the dev forum for one.

I don't see a huge problem if its kept to the general section. Maybe even a sticky thread for newbies where they can see links to threads for most commonly asked questions and they can post some questions in that thread only.

This way it keeps it all compartmentalized and separated from the rest of the forum. We can direct all the new guys there. If any of the more experienced guys who want to help, they can do so in that thread only.

I understand how too many newbs can clutter up a forum pretty quick. But a lot of this stuff even after searching and reading still leaves a lot of questions, until you absorb the whole concept of this phone/os/rooting culture.

If we don't help some of the new users, we will end up with more threads about how they bricked their phones and then the real flame wars will start.

Keep it in one area. It has to be dealt with, we can't ignore them. We all gain if we share some knowledge, but lay down some ground rules beforehand.
[Droid Eris General] droidkevlar:
I agree 100%. I was a newb before. But I always search first before posting. Even to this day, I 2X to make sure I searched correctly before posting on here.
[Droid Eris General] Jp50:
you were a big help to me and without you i would be s.o.l.

the newbie thing isn't going away and dealing with it in a way that satisfies everyone makes the most sense.

I learned alot in the last few weeks. I pretty much spend all my time here now. I'm willing to help with some basic rooting tips for any of the real new guys.

You were right, this phone will consume your life! :D
[Droid Eris General] Nikolai2.1:
I has a question.

What is rootz? and hows to I gets it??
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
No thanks. I've been using the internet long enough to know that people don't change and that being a **** about things doesn't help anyone. I'd rather actually provide something for the community other than "USE THE SEARCH" and tell them what they need to know while reminding them that the search function would have just saved everyone the time.

If you really care that much don't go into their topics, this is hardly a bustling forum with a thousand posts an hour clogging the thing, a few **** topics where someone gets confused really has no effect on us. YES they should learn, but like I said being a **** does nothing about it.

My 2 cents.

P.S. I love your themes.

P.S.S. I always used the search lol
[Droid Eris General] droidkevlar:
Check out Kaosfroyo thread....now tell me that out of those 4k+ post, 1k or so isnt dumb questions being asked over and over and over. That is just 1 thread. They feel entitled and dont want to search. Its the same kids that blamed devs for them putting leak on their phones and not letting them have root until now. This was more of a rant more than anything. As I have grown feed up with reading the same thing over and over and over and over. Perfect example is my threads. Even though in big, bold, red letters saying dont flash via recovery my MM's, they complain. I mean, its plain as day and they still screw it up.

And thanks for liking my theme. Only reason I made a Froyo one is so many liked the OG Kevlar Mash.
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
KF as an example, half the posts in that topic if not more are literally just spam or talking about random ****. I don't care because whatever people are having a nice chat but if anything that's even worse because it's absolutely irrellevant to the topic. Like I said, I've got no problem with it and am up for a chat any time.

But I see what you're saying. There is a difference though between asking legitimate questions that can be answered with a search and asking dumb questions that have been answered right there in the topic, no search even required. There really isn't any excuse when people ask questions that are answered right in the first post. I hate all of the posts in the dev stick where it plainly says "DO NOT POST IN HERE UNLESS YOU ARE MAKING A SUGGESTION" and three people so far have actually posted there just asking random questions... it's a bit ridiculous.

I just feel like rather than telling someone off for asking a question it's best to just educate them and let them know how to use a forum. Not everyone is used to being on a forum after all.
[Droid Eris General] digitaljeannie:
I both agree and disagree with the arguments made here. Personally, I don't ask too many questions because I try to conduct thorough research on my own knowing that somewhere someone else has asked the question before and it must be answered somehow (which is why I don't post too much). I'm horrible at using the forum search, though. Google is much better and it will actually bring up XDA and AF forum posts in the search (amongst other items and forums so that's my search of choice).

Some people are not quite as "internet savvy" and I agree that many are lazy, however personally I think if you can't perform a simple google search you have no business messing with technology at all.

I understand people want to learn and sometimes if you're just starting out you don't know where to start in which case a simple tactfully answered question with a push in the right direction towards research resources would be much more appropriate than "use the search, newb" but generally you can differentiate those with a genuine willingness & aptitude to learn & who may just need some guidance, and those who are just too ignorant or lazy to guide themselves.

That's just my $0.02.
[Droid Eris General] orkillakilla:
It doesn't matter how many times you tell people to search. If your on any forum at all there are always going to be lots of people posting multiple threads that have already been answered. I'm not saying its ok just inevitable.

[Droid Eris General] es0tericcha0s:
I am pretty much on the same page with digitaljeannie on this one. However, a lot of us gloss over the fact that a lot of people just don't know how to search for stuff, or are just absolutely not tech savvy at all. The idea of trying to do anything outside of "the norm" on something phone or computer oriented scares them. If computers are confusing to you, the last thing you want to do is start messing with programs and such that can potentially make your phone inoperable. I walked a gentleman through the process of rooting, and he absolutely could not take a step without me telling him what to do. He wasn't even sure what a zip file was, so trying to do command line prompts pretty much terrified him without someone being there to tell him what to put in, baby step, by baby step. Now, just because he was clueless, doesn't mean he shouldn't enjoy being rooted. Also, being good at searching for stuff is a skill that a lot of you might not even realize you are good at, as it seems natural. However, I have came across quite a few people who are intelligent in other things, but can't find stuff online worth a hoot. I'm often going behind people who say I can't find this info on such and such, and I'll have it in like 10 minutes. Sure there are tons of lazy people who want you to do the work, but it's a shame to paint the same broad stroke for everyone...
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
I don't think it's really fair to say "If you can't do one thing you shouldn't do the other." I mean I can barely manage a google maps search to get where I want to go but I can do minor programming and know more about hardware than anyone else I know. People shouldn't be stuck with an unrooted eris ever lol and whether they are into computers or not they should have the right to root it and use the phone the way they want to.
[Droid Eris General] copestag:
not for nothin..... this is the 4th seperate "rant" post Ive read this week on this very topic......... physician heal thyself
[Droid Eris General] droidkevlar:
While all of you make very good points. I just feel like if they cant search or are too scared, then maybe like the other 70%+ people that dont root their phone, they shouldnt either. And if they complain about its functions, then they shouldnt have bought the phone. Get an iPhone or BlackBerry. Android OS is meant for tech savy ppl IMO. I love Android more than my wife but at work when they asked what phones to get, I said iPhone. Just because users here are not very smart...even thought they have PhD's, lol
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
I think the idea that Android OS is for the tech savy only is a bit of a dangerous rumor that's pretty unjustified. I went from not having any smartphone to going to android 1.6 and it really is quite userfriendly. Tap icon to open, tap and hold for more options, tap and drag to move; these are the basic movements that set the stage for the entire phone, there's nothing fancy.

Apple basically puts out to web blogs (*cough gizmodo endgadget cough*) these rumors that Android OS is far less user friendly than iOS but really anyone can figure it out very quickly.

iPhones are simpler only in the sense that they treat their users with super kiddy gloves, no true multitasking, one button, very simple functionality by removing complex functionality. But if you're an unrooted android user there's really very little you can do to mess up your phone that you could not already do to your iphone.
[Droid Eris General] droidkevlar:
Let me re-word that. The ERIS is for more of the tech savy. Reason I say that is because it is kind of a slow phone stock. Once rooted, bloatware removed and OC'd, it rocks.
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stillryan:
If Hulu ran on my laptop the way it runs on the phone, then i would say it is crap. But i think we need to remember that this is a service that is actively blocked by Hulu. To get it on the phone you have to use a hacked flash apk, then change the user agent and basically trick the browser into thinking you're on your phone instead of the computer.

It's choppy, but its also trying to run more data than the phone was meant to handle, i think. If we had a data stream from Hulu that was desgned specifically for our phones, then i'm sure we'd have better performance.

This is most defenitely NOT my area of expertise, but just an observation.

How can i flash it in other way?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrdmtt:
How? Through recovery? Because "fastboot" hates me, and won't work.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.L.C.:
I'd suggest using a passimg for frf85b and then maybe updating to 91 (or just leave it at 85), you can always re-root when you get it back.

N1 w/ XDA App
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrdmtt:
got it, thk to cyanogen wiki :)

Plug the phone into the computer

Reboot into fastboot by holding TrackBall + Power (you should see three Androids on skateboards and the words 'fastboot USB' in red)

On the computer, open a command prompt cd to the sdk/tools directory (we will assume the SDK is located in C:\android-sdk and the recovery file is in the root of the sdk/tools directory for the following steps)

With the phone connect via USB, open up a cmd prompt

adb reboot recovery"

adb devices

​

A device name and 'recovery' should be returned

adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img

​

recovery.img is located on android-sdk/tools dir

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

​

This permanently flashes the recovery.img to your phone, you can now boot into it by holding Vol- while powering on the device

Reboot

[Droid X Android Development] 87jason:
This was just a thought but could the haptic feedback on the lockscreen cause some of the lag. As i have noticed on alot of devices haptic feedback can cause some lagging, now would it be possible to remove the haptic feedback from the lock screen, without it causing in other issues.
[Droid X Android Development] Mikerrrrrrrr:
I never figured out a way to solve the lockscreen lag, but I just changed to a new lockscreen, Widget Locker, and it's considerably less laggy while being infinitely more customizable. You can add widgets and extra sliders (for camera, any other app). It's $2 on the market if you're interested.
