Just like the title says... it's a modification of a ROM :-)

It's not a mod file to change one thing, it's an entire ROM... a modification of OpenDesire, to include some features I need daily....

... and it is very annoying to add those features everytime I update OpenDesire on my phone. AdamG will never add these features in OpenDesire, so here I am with this ROM-MOD :-)

Hope othere people can find it useful :-)

Hey mate,

Have you managed to fix the auto brightness not to be too dimmed down?

Hi!

Just rooted my desire for the first time. Now installed this as i've heard some good things about it.

Tho, when i try to boot into opendesire for the first time, I get a black background and a blue text saying "android" in the middle of the screen. It has been there for over 20 minutes now. Is this normal? What should I do now? Pull battery and try again?
[Desire Android Development] thematrix2:
Please ask this question to the OpenDesire thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712615 ... this is just a different mod of it :)

BTW... it's not normal... it should take about 2-3 minutes!

Radio 5.0

I got one question: I heard installing Radio 5.x is recommended with OpenDesire 3.5.x, I found something about this radio version at thread #762769 (can't post the link cause I'm new) but unfortunately, this topic doesn't explain how to update Radio version. I looked for a guide in the stickies and other forums but couldn't find anything relevant... if such a thing was mentionned and I haven't seen it, shame on me.

Do you know where I can find a good tutorial about that ?

My Desire :

HBOOT-0.80.0000

[HTC Aria General] Exador:
I'm new to Android and modded bins so please bear with me. Before I rooted my Aria I made a nandroid backup so I can bring it back to factory condition if needed. If I make a nandroid backup with the cm6 bin will it overwrite the previous backup or will I have a choice of backups. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Aria General] superchilpil:
Each backup ranges from 70 to 100 megabytes depending on your apps and other stuff, that said you can have as many backups you sd card

can hold
[HTC Aria General] Cinderous:
Also, it will not overwrite the old one, it puts each Backup in a folder named with the date the backup was created.

Sent from my HTC Liberty
[HTC Aria General] jasonyump:
The aria can hold as many backups that will fit on your memory card. It wont overwrite the old one, you'll be presented with options of what nandroid you want to restore by the date you backed them up.
[HTC Aria General] Exador:
OK cool, I wasn't sure if nandroid backups were stored on board or on the card thanks.
[HTC Aria General] pvillasuso:
As an example ...

I backup and rename , depending on the ROM

I got

Liberated

Froyo001

Froyo002

Froyo002

So when I restore , I know what to look for ! :D
[EVO 4G General] ronnienyc:
I am hoping to unroot (used that 3 click method) so I can install the ota 2.2. I tried installing 2.2 using every trick possible including RUU, and still no luck.
[EVO 4G General] ronnienyc:
I should note that a factory reset did not help, and the RUU seems to work (the sync app recognizes the Eco) until the install starts, then there is a usb connection error.
[EVO 4G General] nhutpham:
I assume you're in USB debugging and charge only? Sync is installed?

If it matters at all, I used the 1.32 RUU exe and then did the OTA update to 1.47.

Maybe just give it another shot and see if it goes through.
[EVO 4G General] ronnienyc:
Yes, I am using Debugging, cahrge only (also tried SYnc setting) and the Sync app is installed.

I have tried 20 times, and each time it connects properly, then at some point it stalls and says something about USB disconnected...?!?
[EVO 4G General] nhutpham:
Have you tried doing a full wipe first? This might prevent problems later anyways.
[EVO 4G General] DanBergundy:
Why not use the 2.2 rooted rom and save your root access? I don't see a point in going 2.2 unrooted.
[Vibrant General] lucky 69:
ok guy's and gal's ,just want some good feedback on this phone.i used to have the g1 when it first came out ,had it for a while .up till about 6 mth's ago .then i sold it got a touch pro 2 .i love android but after the stuff with google pulled on Cyan .wasn't sure were all this was going.but know been looking to get back in .with the power and memory look's like partitioning the memory card will be no more .i know you can have root on this one to and it just came out ! so let me know on this phone what ya think.i read about battery life thread but that seem's to be the first place everyone go's to.i want to now how you like it for everyday use and if you are rooted it or not .thank' s for the imput.:D
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
Short answer...love it....can't think of a better device...wish the gps/compass was fixed sooner rather than later though...

I did root it as soon as I read the instructions via adb...glad to have wireless tether running and glad I don't have to worry about partitioning the sd card or having swap etc..

I think we all complain about some of the things on the phone but I mean what phone doesn't have its share of complaints? I think the general consensus is that most people love it =)
[Vibrant General] lucky 69:
very good to here !ya what phone don't have complaint's lol well:D keep it coming thank's everone.
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
I'm rooted and absolutely love this phone.. I have no GPS problems and get locks fast... the screen is beautiful and amazes people everytime they see it. The camera is pretty good for me as its just a phone camera but takes awesome shots. The night mode kinda makes up for the lack of camera flash but once again no biggie. The compass is wack but whatever I don't use it. ..

The 720 p recording is awesome and takes great videos I was impressed.

The games are insane on this thing. The 3d graphics on this super amoled screen is just amazing, I actually play games now one my phone.. the screen is super responsive and the Multitouch is flawless vs the nexus one (came from it)..

All in all I love this. Oh I also get no slow downs either... and the memory is awesome no need for apps2sd or ever check my memory... fantastic phone way better than my old n1 IMO...
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Best phone I've ever used/owned.
[Vibrant General] lucky 69:
thank's everyone i think i'm sold.going to have to get one !well let's keep this thread going for all !:D
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
I absolutely love mine. Had it since launch. i used my gps for the first time two days ago and it worked fine for the most part. Im also unrooted at the moment. I also came from a g1 so from me to you, it's a good choice to go with.
[Vibrant General] darkknight49:
Loving mine so far. My GPS takes a bit to lock on sometimes but its usually only after google maps crashes and locks up the phone. A manual restart usually solves it and I get a quick lock.

Screen is beautiful, responsive and just the right size. The phone is light and thin which I like and battery life has been getting better for me. With my latest cycle, light use mind you, i'm at almost 23 hours since charge and im at 58% battery left using Juice Defender.

This phone gets my recommendation.
[Vibrant General] jorenko:
If you want to use Layar, Google Sky Map, Wikitude, or any other Augmented Reality app, prepare to be disappointed. The compass problem really sodomizes all those apps' ability to know which way you're facing. It was so bad I returned mine before my 14 day remorse period was up. If they manage to fix it in software, I might get a new one, but it remains to be seen whether their fix will be adequate.
[Vibrant General] frankencat:
It took a lot to get the G1 out of my hands but this phone is just so much better in terms of performance, stability and usability. It does take a day or so to get used to the different feel and button placement but other than that - I would say go for it!
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
Pros:

CPU/GPU

Camera

Performance speed

16gb on board and still room for a SD card

screen

weight

thinness

Android

Cons:

GPS/Compass (lets hope they fix it)

No flash on camera

Cheap build quality (volume button is flimsy)

plastic feel kinda cheap

old iphone like design

Touchwiz

Samsungs future support is questionable.

Overall its a great phone with great hardware especially if you are on Tmobile. If you can look past the cheap design and the GPS issues that might be fixed in the future then you will enjoy the phone. If you want a higher quality feeling phone and solid support I would hold for a HTC phone.

I bought the phone and generally happy with it I just hope all the kinks are worked out.
[Vibrant General] lucky 69:
thank's again everyone ,hope this will help others if they are wondering about it to !:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] EMAWgasm:
Hey guys, I just got me Evo and this is my first Android phone so I'm noob to the max. I've been trying to read up as much as possible, but I'm having a few problems:

I recently rooted using SimpleRoot OTA. I think I'm rooted anyways; I read the instructions/watched the videos and went along with the dude and everything appears to have worked. How do I know if I'm rooted anyways?

Ok, so now I was going to try to install the DamageControl rom, so I downloaded Rom Manager (free) from the marketplace, and when I try to use the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" I get a "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" window. Does this mean I'm not rooted? The only reason I wanted to root was so I could tether to my laptop because I don't have internet in my new apartment yet.

Also, one more thing: I noticed that ever since I rooted, the phone hasn't connected to 4G. I don't know if this is just coincidence or not. I have 4G enabled on the phone, and I normally have great 4G coverage here in Houston, but it hasn't connected yet. Do I need to update the radio? I'm pretty lost. Any help is appreciated, and if this is covered in any guides I may have missed I'd love a link for it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] akrod2as:
There is a Q&A section.
[EVO 4G Android Development] HondaCop:
Run the SimpleRoot program again and this time make sure you select EXTRAS -> FLASH RECOVERY. It will give you an option to flash either CLOCKWORK or RA.

Obviously, make sure your phone is connected to your PC and USB Debugging is ENABLED before you try this.
[EVO 4G General] jstone5243:
Im new to the xda forums and i noticed something after i had completed the 2.2 update htc released this weekend. The evo goes into landscape left or right, whereas to the best of my knowledge it had only done left before :) i haddent seen any other posts about this, but had heard some gripes that it only worked to the left. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

thanks
[EVO 4G General] n3x1s:
Thats a new feature of 2.2. You are correct, 2.1 did not have that capability out-of-the-box. (you had to be running a custom ROM).
[EVO 4G General] ThatTmoGuy:
i use launcher pro so i can have landscape on my home screen. any way to do this with the sense ui with the froyo update?
[EVO 4G General] jstone5243:
that would be ideal, landscape on the home screen is the only thing missing...where ive noticed video playback has increased is on webpages and with the flash you view all the embeded videos on webpages, youtube.com is far nicer than the youtube app by far an faster from what i can tell
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brodos123:
hi

I have some scratchs on my screen and I am looking for a replacement digtizer.

I found several on ebay,

http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=xp...+screen&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

Have anyone replaced the digitizer or know if this are original?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClintonH:
Did you remove the factory screen protector for some reason and not replace it? Or did your phone not come with a factory screen protector?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brodos123:
Hi

I removed the factory screen protector. when I got a couple of scratches I applied a new protector.

But the few scratches I have are ittitating me!!!!:mad:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trojjanhorse:
Hi, I recently changed my digitizer. Put on a black one on my white phone. They are all real, I have not seen any fakes around. I also bought mine off of ebay.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trojjanhorse:
--duplicate--
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clyzm:
I wish one of these ebay listings gave a part number or model number for the digitizer... for obvious reasons.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezo9090:
Is this digitizer is the same part i need to change when my screen gets cracked ?

The story is my phone fell down and the screen got cracked and kinda ink appeared around the line of crack..

I was really wandering which part to change since the touch was working fine..

sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trojjanhorse:
Hey Mezo,

The digitizer is factory glued with the top glass and is considered one piece since you can't separate the two. The LCD is separate from the digitizer. If your LCD is cracked, then your display will be distorted with lines across the screen. If your top glass is cracked, then your digitizer will still work since the digitizer is not as fragile as the top glass. So the question is, is the top glass cracked? Is the LCD display cracked as well? I know your digitizer will still be functioning but you might want to consider buying a new one as for the cracks may be unappealing and annoying.

I simply broke the top glass and I did not like the crack spanning across my screen so I got myself a new one.

If your LCD is damaged then you need to buy a new LCD which is not cheap... (over $100).
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezo9090:
@trojjanhorse

the top layer which i touch is functional, so that means i have broken the LCD ?

i appreciate if you have a look on them i attached some pic, i hope they are clear enough since i took them with 3mp cam

thanks for the help in advance, i don't know much about mobile displays :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clyzm:
Most likely you have broken the LCD. When dark pixels appear like that, it usually means that you've directly struck the LCD itself and damaged that area.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezo9090:
It was a thin line at first then some Ink started to flow and became bigger the next day. :(

So its the LCD?

should I fix it at the service center or i can replace it myself?

sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yetep:
You can, in theory, fix it yourself but it'll be a biatch of a job. Use the X10 undressing post to find out how to actually take it to bits...

Then put the new LCD in.

only issue is finding somewhere that sells them... I don't know if they're a generic 854x480 lcd or what so...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trojjanhorse:
To change LCD is very simple, but to change the digitizer is suicide. You will need to get a new LCD. I would buy one off of ebay and install it myself. I've been fixing phones for 2 years now so I had my share of experience but it may be difficult for you. The black liquid is due to the fact that LCD stands for "Liquid" Crystal Display

Good luck.
[Desire General] maxupp:
this is my second thread about this issue, and PLEASE don't answer if you don't know how i could do this. i DON'T want a rooted/modded whatsoever 2.2, just the update that came today.

i guess my best bet would be flashing a htc europe generic rom and get the OTA, but how do i do that?
[Desire General] Shetlander:
If your phone is from a network provider then it will more than likely need rooting even if you just want to flash it with a generic HTC ROM.

If it was purchased SIM free then it should already have a generic ROM and it will just be a matter of time before you get the OTA update.

Have you tried manually chacking for an update on the phone?
[Desire General] Jedipottsy:
Here's how

I'm Rooted and I still want the official update after reading the warning.

1) Make a goldcard using this guide (For Desire too)

2) Download this

3) Double click it and follow the instructions.

4) When the update is ready to be pushed out, you will get a notification.

(taken from the Official foyo update thread....please search or read before making threads like this)

Also consider looking at this

http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/307683/howto-unroot-your-htc-desire/

BTW, if you do this you will not be able to unroot again untill a new root is found which could take weeks, or could never happen. You loose the ability to install custom roms, or non sense roms.
[Desire General] maxupp:
@ shetlander: it IS rooted, but i'm not able to flash generic, it simply doesn't work

@jedipottsy: i don't have a micro SD card available, but as i said, the phone IS rooted, so i there any way to do it without one? maybe a dump of a generic firmware instead of a ruu.exe?

edit: i forgot to mention, i had a leaked 2.2 build flashed before, but then flashed back to t-mobile rom. what doesn't work ist the flash to htc europe generic
[Desire General] Jedipottsy:
nope, need an sdcard, can't flash an official over an unofficial, you need sd to restore to an older official.
[Desire General] maxupp:
well i was able to got to a defrost build and back to stock without goldcard, i don't see why a htc generic can't function :((
[Desire General] Jedipottsy:
cant see the advantage of using the official, you loose too much for little gain

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741663 or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741755

there is full 2.2 with extras, or plain with root, much easier to install and you dont loose root
[Desire General] maxupp:
thx jedi, i am actually flahshing the thingy with busybox(whatever that does), there's no way i'm gonna miss teeter ^^
[Desire General] bakedecake:
Download this rom:

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.zip

change the name to PB99IMG and put it on your gold card, boot into recovery and select fastboot, it will install the generic 1.21 rom, then when you check for updates the froyo update will be there, btw doing this wipes everything on your phone. Worked for me although I didn't install the froyo update as I am scared of the bootloader.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armysh:
I couldn't find a decent step by step for this, so here's how I did it:

1. Create a GoldCard for your device using Klutsh's GoldCard tool.

2. Download one of the stock RUU ROMs.

3. Once ROM is flashed, check for updates on phone and download the Froyo update.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adza:
Hi Armysh,

Thanks for your reply.

As a user with a Telstra branded phone, I just wanted to confirm:

a) Does this download the official HTC Update (With HTC's customisations / applications)

b) Does anything special need to be done to make sure this continues to work with Next G?

Cheers

Adza
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armysh:
Hey adza,

It gives you the stock HTC update without all the Telstra guff.

Sorry, it wouldn't let me post links, but you can Google Klutsh's GoldCard tool (make sure you read the readme) and there is a page full of untouched ROMs here on XDA. I picked the second WWE one, ran the downloaded ROM exe on my computer with the GoldCard in the phone, and it updated fine. Once that had all loaded up, I then just checked for system updates and downloaded the Froyo update that popped up.

Hope this helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adza:
Hi Armysh,

Thanks for your reply. Well - I'm going to give this a shot. Hopefully I'll have a working unbranded Froyo HTC shortly....

Hi Armysh,

Just wanted to say thank you very much for your post here. I have been able to upgrade as per your instructions and all appears to be working well! Once again, thank you very much!

I have a Telstra branded Desire which I had previously already rooted. When I try and install the ROM you indicated (with goldcard in phone), I get the following message:

ERROR[130]: MODEL ID ERROR

Weak.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armysh:
I'm not too sure, but from what I've read you need to get the rooted OTA Froyo ROM and flash that the same way you flashed any other ROM after rooting.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adza:
Not sure what's happening there.

My downloads were:

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe

and

http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip

and all went smoothly for me. (Once I got my head around how to use the Goldcard properly that is) No rooting for me - just straight from the Telstra version to the HTC vanilla one :-)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmpy:
To me it looks like your Goldcard is faulty. Try to create a new one. Cheers.

On to second gold card and still just a giant bag of fail. I've tried several ROMs, including rooted Froyo ROMs with no luck.

You need to navigate through the boot loader. This can be done by holding down key combinations (including Power+Vol Up, and Power+Home IIRC).
