Read, in the development section, the sticky posts at the top of the section. They should be of some assistance in getting you more up to speed. Don't ask people to make up your mind for you, but you could list important things you're looking for and if other members of the forum have any suggestions.

I may be wrong, so don't take this at gospel, but I think you might need a couple more hardware flash updates to being you up to current. I know there was a radio and 4g flash update here a few weeks back. That's the ones I'm talking about. I just recently tried out calklin's (probably spelled his nick wrong, sorry) stock rooted rom based on the newest update of the 1.47 one. Sorry I'm being so vague, I'm doing this from memory. I have CRS, can't remember ****!

Anyways, that stock rooted rom was a nice one, imo. It seemed to behave itself quite well and not give me any snafus to speak of. I was impressed with it's stability and yet had the advantage of having root. You gotta crawl before walking, so this is my suggestion for a good rom to start with and start learning the world of android, imo.

Sorry. I know I tend to ramble. It's my over-compensation for being so quiet in real life.

I used those and have had no problems. I like/use clockworkmod recovery. Search rom manager in the market. That's probably the easiest way to flash a recovery, I think...

I recommend Backed Snacks 9.7 or DamageControl 3.2.3. Fresh is the most popular rom, but I think it is vastly overrated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
I hope you don't mean Congenital Rubella Syndrome.

Why do you think that?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LudoGris:
I also recommend Baked Snack. Just checked my battery time yesterday and after 14 hours off charger I still had 76% battery left. Damage is another great one that I have used. A few mire features over baked, but not as good on battery. I had good luck on Fresh too, but switched to based and have never looked back.

Stay away from froyo roms for now. No 4g, BT broken on some, intermittent exchange support, and other issues make it not stable enough for everyday yet. And while it is fast, I do not see enough of an improvement to lose the stability and features of the 2.1 eclair roms.

Most of all, try them and have fun doing it. I have been at this for a month now, and I am enjoying everyday of it!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TularePC:
Manila allows new themes for HTC Sense, which is something I really wanted to do. I jailbreak my iPhone mainly for the reason of custom themes.

The thing is from what I've read, it appears as if it doesn't support my software? I'm not entirely sure.

As far as capabilities, I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I have read the threads and forums, but it seems to be overwhelming so I was trying to get some advice to see which ones I should pay more attention to. A friend sent a link earlier, and it helped clarify what exactly the ROMs are - I'm just concerned about functionality.

I don't want to flash the rom and lose wifi, or 4g, etc. As far as additional capabilities, I don't know what I would utilize. Battery performance of course, but mainly I want custom themes lol.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Julian2103:
Alright, may seem like a stupid question to some. I've searched trust me. Whats the difference between flashing a new version of android and using a new zimage?

For instance, Im using "FROYO BUILD BY dan1j3l" and using the 25/7 zimage. Whats the difference between using that and the for example "Froyo 2.2 Android Build by Parad0XUA" with the same zimage or darkstones's 26/7 new froyo build?

Im guessing that functions wise, it depends on the zimage but stability wise on the version of android? can anyone enlighten me?:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] M_T_M:
Look at it this way:

New ROM=new UI

New Zimage=new version

Basicaly...when you update ROMS you are giving a total update to your phones UI and when you update Zimage...you are only updating the file that tells your phone wich version of Android to use.

Hope this answers your question :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Julian2103:
this means theoretically speaking, darkstone's newest build with the same zimage would be better than dan's froyo(one of the earlier ones) with the same zimage?

I hope I'm right. Thanks, it has cleared some of the doubt in my head about this matter:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Demon_man:
yeah thats right mate, plus prob has better drivers or new things that have been solved :) so it will be smoother

but how can i solve the robotic voice problem in android?? :S i cant talk with android...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] todd69:
LOL, was wondering the same thing myself :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] devilman:
just to add something...

have you ever heard, when speaking about linux, the words "distro" and "kernel"?

well, a distro (like ubuntu, mandriva, red hat) is the "whole world" built around the kernel, that is the same in all distros (if you keep it to date and recompile it).

The kernel is "the real thing", the way the os can "speak" to the machine and the HW.

Well, the Zimage is the kernel, the "rom" is the distro.

In other words, once you have chosen the "distro" (the rom) you like, you could only keep the kernel (the zimage) up to date, in order to have the newest features and the hw working (eg the last zimage solves the panel problem, it was not "slleping" while in sleep mode. One of the future zimages will add the gps support)

Hope to have semplified ...

:o

@victorbd :

have you run crlcad?

it usually solves the sound problem.

Have you the right radio (.50 and better above .08)?

if yes to the previous questions, try a different ROM (WM ROM)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] todd69:
Very helpful,

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Julian2103:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jackuuuuu:
Wonderful and simplicity example.

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] devilman:
right boba, i was tempted to add something like this to my explanation, but i decided it would have confused more...

:D

so, just to summarize everything, what boba is rightfully saying is that the right combination is a rom written for the zimage that it uses, so that it can really make "usable" all the features the zimage is able to "drive"

this said, usually (but not always) updating the zimage is enough to have the new features

The android version used in these buids, extracted from other pdas like the Desire, in fact, is able to use all the feature the phone has, but sometimes it cannot use them because of the zimage that is not able to drive the hw (think about the gps at the moment)

So, when speaking about android and hd2, usually updating the zimage is enough (the developers tell us when it is not enough)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] intoxic8ed:
Well Victorbd, since day one I have also had the robot voice problem. Today I flashed a different WM rom onto the phone, and now the robot voice is gone. Volume is rather low, but I am sure this will be resolved sometime in the near future.

Here are my settings, hopefully they will help.

#1 The Phone is a US T-Mobile HD2

#2 The WM ROM is OzROM 4.40 WWE

#3 The Android build is Darkstone HD2 Froyo V.1

#4 The zImage isCotulla zImage 7.25.10

Now I just have to find a solution to the sleep of death.

Good luck boss.

You might want to trying the previous zimage 7/23. The 7/25 gave me wierd wake-up issues. I could still wake it up, but it required two power button presses.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jjones1983:
Now, here's another stupid question... I'm using the 7/23 zImage as I've heard of all the problems people are having with the 7/25. When the next zImage is released, assuming it's as stable as 7/23 (which has been perfect for me), when I replace the zImage, do I essentially have to re-setup my Android build? Because I've literally gotten it to where I use it as my daily ROM. I'm literally having no problems other than VERY occasional 3G/Data loss but even that works most of the time. Will just updating the zImage leave all my settings/apps/etc...?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mick1475:
You just to back to WMo, plug in to your PC, take out the old zimage and put in the new one, restart Android. Should things work worse than they did with the old zimage, just reverse the procedure.

Could depend on how many widgets you have on your homescreen and also the refresh rate of your apps that auto-refresh.

do you transfer files over bluetooth. i think i fixed my main problem by turning off bluetooth share. i used autostarts so it doesnt even start and my battery seems to last tons longer

Use SpareParts and see what apps are killing your battery

OK the apparently that use the most according to spare parts are:

The rest don't seem to bad, I will be uninstalling the alarm clock for sure. But what does adw launcher do?!? Better question: is that a dumb question? LOL

With this landmark decision, say goodbye to big brother locking up phones and preventing side-loading. YAY!

Go EFF!
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
I am wondering if that also extends to rom modification/nand flash trickery as well which has been known to violate (htc specifically) the eula. if it extends to that, then

there is a god

if not oh well back to the old drawing board
[Windows Phone 7 General] rorytmeadows:
Either way, XDA can still live on legally with Windows Phone 7!!! :D:D:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
LOL let's hope!

But what about Europe?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bengal34:
Well, not much has changed. All this legislation means is that you can't be sued for it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rorytmeadows:
Well, more importantly, the apps, software, and other information will be more readily available to the public. People don't have to hide away. Methods and installs can be posted on CNET and Engadget, and it might be just possible that eventually, these companies might have to provide methods to side-load OR hard reset/reinstall ROMs...MAYBE???
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Legal don't make it a easy thing to do. And it's still worth for Microsoft to try and prevent, as a single marketplace is better for business, both for Microsoft and for the application developers.

So it's a bit meh :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bengal34:
Companies can still take steps against it. OS updates can still break jailbreaks and doing stuff to your phones can still violated EULAs and void warranties.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
While this may give consumers the right to hack their phones I dont see anything there that says companies have to support devices running unauthorised software. All they have to do is add to their EULA that hacked phones wont be supported. Plus I dont see how this is good because MS is already implementing security measures for Xbox Live on WP7, this will only make them more vigilant looking for hacked Live accounts.

Personally I dont know why people dont just buy a device that doesnt need to be hacked in the first place, why buy a device then start moaning that you cant load what you want when that is the functionality it had when you purchased it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] rorytmeadows:
Well, implications of this ruling down the road COULD mean that companies have to provide easy opportunities for side-loading. That could mean that Apple, Microsoft, etc., has to allow side-loading by default. Anything is possible, considering.
[Windows Phone 7 General] orb3000:
Possible double?

Is this the same you are referring to?

If so you know what will happen here:rolleyes:

If not my apologies;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
No, no it couldn't. It's just not the case. All it does is make it legal for people to break the protections for those things. That's it. Nothing more.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rorytmeadows:
Until someone threatens legal action for not allowing side-loading without breaking warranty.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
The case would get tossed. It's completely their prerogative to do that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lordcanti86:
All the case does is make jailbreaking your phone legal in respect to US law. It may or may not affect MS's stance on jailbreaking (they haven't publicly stated how they would deal with jailbreakers), but all this does is prevent MS from suing jailbreakers if they jailbreak their devices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TheATHEiST:
Europe doesnt have the same stupid laws as US and jailbreaking/unlocking phones has always been legal here afaik ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] rorytmeadows:
We'll see. In talks with the EFF, they might be working on that in the future.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bengal34:
Don't get your hopes up. All the legislation is, is to prevent companies from suing individuals for creating or using jailbreaks on their phones. Microsoft or Apple will NOT have to support a phone that's running unauthorized software.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rorytmeadows:
Full operating systems don't work like this, so why would you assume otherwise? Think positive and read up!
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Full OS's don't have to be jailbroken to run apps. Also, MSFT doesn't support the apps (unless they wrote it).

Seriously, stop. You're completely wrong. This ruling does not change anything in this respect. It ONLY means that we can't be sued. And I may be mistaken but I believe that people distributing ways to do it still can be.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rorytmeadows:
You're absolutely right. The ruling only means that. However, I do see a movement going on. We've got this ruling saying that it's okay for people to do what they want with their devices, in addition to the other freedoms specified in the ruling. We've got the FCC pushing its way in to prevent internet service providers from throttling or terminating connections. We've got rulings over the past year granting freedom to users (not abusers) and others that grant "fair choice" for things like internet browsers.

Hopefully, this movement will continue. Internet freedom and net neutrality!!!

Also, ripped ROMs and custom variations of existing mobile OS' would definitely still be illegal, but that's not what we're talking about here. I hate Linux, but hopefully mobile versions could rise up and be legitimate offerings for those looking to "jailbreak" their devices. Legal alternatives to ripped ROMs could become widely available.

Either way, it's a step in the right direction for internet and technological freedom. And anything that screws over Apple is great in my book.

Hi

I just do exactly like it's in cid/sim unlocker tutorial but I stoped at step 2 with "superCID unlocker". Then I thrown away that idea and flash may last working radio (1.58.16.27). When simcard was in slot and network searching in progress I notice that Nike don't caught signal as well as before. What's more it get weaker. I think It's SPL fault. There is any chance to get original SPL? Maybe have you any idea?

Can anyone talk me through making a custom boot splash? Specifically one that shows up when using CM6 Nightly/RC1?

Well...

I am having some trouble to be precise I have no idea what to do!

(Caution: Don't use small words words... I'm a newbie to rooting...)

1)

Every guide I read said I needed to do a Nandroid Back-up (Now I am guessing it some type of application) I searched everywhere on Google but ended up being tossed to G1 section.

2)

Feeyo has included a radio. Now I have no idea what to do with the Radio file or if I even need to download it! (Running HTC Hero Official 2.1 Update) and if I need to download it which goes first Radio or ROM?

3) Say when Feeyo releases 0.2 update for his ROM do I have to wipe and do the whole process over again and lose all my data?

P.S. Why doesn't someone create a easy rooting application like Redsn0w or that Pineapple jailbreak (Quickpwn i think it is called...)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
If you are on a 2.1 official rom, you can use my stickied guide in the dev forum to root and get custom recovery installed.

It is basically a one click process once you install adb, for which a guide containing pictures is linked.

I rooted my phone within an hour of it arriving, and it was my first smartphone, so I would have to say it's pretty easy, and that really only basic computer skills are needed, like using command prompt etc.

Nandroid is part of patched recovery and is like acronis trueimage for phones.

As for wiping for updates, just read the developer's post and do as you are told ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
1. You can't really nandroid before you get a custom recovery installed (at least not easily) so don't bother.

2. Radio is to do with signal - my guide in my signature tells you how to flash this.

3. Depends on how different the release is - you can always use Titanium backup to back up the data and restore it after (quite simple - again a guide in my sig).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strider96:
Thanks for the reply!

Are there any Dutch users who have upgraded their radio???

As I understand with the wrong radio you can have bad signal, gps etc.

If your dutch, what radio are you on

And with which operator (I have T-Mobile)

Tnx for helping me out
