[General Questions and Answers] LazerRanger:
Hiya guys, avid follower of the forum (have been flashing phones since I brought my HTC Touch two years ago).

I'm in the market for a new phone to use on a sim only contract and would prefer not to spend more than £300.

I'd been pretty set upon the HTC Wildfire up until recently as many reviewed have complained of its low resolution (I'm been using my Touch and Kaiser at 320x240 with no complaints but it nice to feel like my money has brought a proper upgrade).

Therefore I've widened my view to a few different options;

Refurbished HTC Hero from Three £160: similar specs but higher res/older processor? Probably my preferred option a little research until some wiki research told me that the MSM 7225 in the Wildfire is a cousin of the Snapdragon in the Desire and has a similar GPU? If the Wildfire is really more powerful then I'd thought maybe the low res is worth it?

LG GT540 Optimus £110: Has native Divx support which is a huge bonus to me but really want to avoid another resistive screen.

HTC Desire/Samsung Galaxy S £320 with possible store discount from a friend: Both of these seem super impressive but I'm very reluctant to shell out so much cash when I don't really need all the extra bells and whistles they provide. The Galaxy GPU has impressed me a lot though.

Sony Ericcson X1: £210

Thanks for your time and as I've said any opinions will greatly appreciated as I struggle to make a decision.
[General Questions and Answers] cmstackar:
I would personally go for the the galaxy s or desire, although the hero is still a decent phone. The X1 is a nice phone as well, but not worth it at that price
[General Questions and Answers] LazerRanger:
Okay mate, thanks for the opinion.

I'm kind of leaning towards the Wildfire now as I'm hearing it gets decent performance on Rockplayer and beng able to play Divx files while I travel would be a godsend.

Has anyone got experience with Rockplayer on HTC Hero?

My wife and I recently purchased 2 Droid Xs. My phone has no 3G reception in our house while my wife's has full 3G bars at our house. Speed Test shows a 10:1 difference.

When going to a different location such as at a certain restaurant, I have full 3G reception on my phone but my wife's phone only has 2 bars for 3G.

What would be the technical explanation for this phenomenon?

Hi all, i have a quick question i need answering :).

right, i've been searching all over the place for navbars, or rosies, or launchers etc, that arn't Launcher Pro or any other third party app. NOw i've nothing 2 threads in this section fo the forum, which make the standard 2.1 rom navbar slightly transparent. Not what i want to do is totally remake the navbar myself on photoshop etc. But i have no clue whatsoever how to do this, could anyone give me a quick, but simple step by step instruction on how to do this.

I've looked at 'how to theme' posts and threads but its all way over my head, as all i want to do is replace some of the image files for my own.

Thanks in advance, remember im a noob!!

I've tried a bunch and there always seems to be issues. Freezing/battery hogs/ wayy too much garbage.

What I'm looking for is a clean rom, with pretty basic stuff with sense 2.5 and htc messaging. can anyone point me in the right direction? Any apps that I want I can install myself.

I have read on the internet that AT&T is going to release a sense 2.5 update for Tilt 2 soon. I have a cooked rom installed right now that seems to work very well with only a few lock ups in about 5 months. It is a WCX rom you can find it easy in the first page of roms.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jmattp:
Wouldn't it have been more productive to post a link or share the knowledge that you've obtained instead of telling the OP to search for an answer? I found this thread while searching for the same thing.

I've used two other Android devices before the Vibrant, and with both of those devices, changing the boot animation was as simple as moving a bootanimation.zip to /system/media and /data/local.

I did that, and it didn't work. I also renamed /system/bin/bootanimation and bootanimation2nd, as well as /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg. The closest thing I've gotten to changing the boot animation was simply not having one.

Can anyone supply a link or a quick explanation on how to use a custom boot animation?

The short version is that you can't make custom boot sequences yet, and maybe not ever, which is what I think you're actually asking for. You can get rid of it or you can swap in one copied from elsewhere (the i9000 is the only one I've seen).

QMG files are an unknown format. In the thread below I speculate about the origin of these files, but I'm not sure that's going to be of much help:

There it is. We'll just have to wait until someone discovers how to edit or create QMG files.

Thank you.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] 90180360:
Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!

(shutdown video was in /system/media/video/shutdown/ though)

My provider didn't customize anything besides boot-up/down video/audio, so I don't really see a reason to get a custom ROM (currently on Android 2.2.1).

The Jingle is so annoying though, don't know how anyone can stand this (it's at full loudness too...)

This has happened to me about 2 or 3 times now where my phone will get sumthing like a email and having already preset my notifications it will play a totally different one from The one I selected for instance I set my phone to ring audio1.mp3 and it would be fine then randomly a random file will play from my phone and I look in settings under notifications sounds n it would be changed to audio2.mp3.

It's not always the same one it changes to..and there's not particular time it does it ...well not dat I've noticed..happened once while I was browsing,once when I restart my phone, and once just out of the blue in idle..hasn't really gotten too annoying yet but just wanted to know if anyone else experiencing it..

It sounds like your internal memory is full and needs to be wiped.

Hello,

I want to change the phone number on my Bell unlocked HTC Diamond, but when I enter the ##special number# and then enter the new phome number, the device should then reboot, but it doesn't, it shut down instead, and when restarted, it shows me the old phone number.

I've done some researches in this forum, and it seems that I need the original ROM from Bell.

Can you please tell me where can I find this ROM (stock ROM from Bell) ? and how to use it?

Thank you a lot.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
when i install this cab and reboot my storage card is not recognized anymore,can someone help please?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
Yes i already wrote about this problem this heppand to some peoples because the CAB i do include over 100 diferent regs including regs for the SD card to read and write faster data so i can remove the regs for the SD card and make you separate cab just without the SD card regs. But i can do it when i have time :) Write me what ROM u use to know in the future about this problem.

About the Magic Tweak.. 1st made it for personal use because when i flash a new ROM im sick to go with Reg editor and write all the regs or export them one by one so the idea is just when you flash a new rom just install the cab and all is done, also there already have many apps doing regs for example HD tool and Advanced config and many more but some of the regs that this Magic tweak include cannot be changet via any of this apps just you need to do it with Reg editor and to know what to edit exactly this is the reason why i think that Magic Tweak is very usefull and easy to use and i don`t know why you found it right now its avalible from long time:)

Does this work on WM 6.1 with stock ROM?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] willcor:
i have a ...touch hd with 6.1 stock rom..

and have been using tsalta.. Magic Tweaks v1.4 for a couple of months !!

(i have had no problems with my device/phone , regarding the relevant registry tweaks, he uses )

e.g.

the registry ringtone delay fix,i found worked for me ...(re. registry setting .. ..av0pr....)

just remember ,even so that every now and again ,you have to check your registry because i found that some how ? ( my phone ) reset registry back to ...av0pw3r..i then have to mannualy edit it to ..av0pr..

i found with this edit, my ringtime came down from 3 /4, full rings to 1 or 2,

i believe it is a " must" for your device.

.so i say yes it does work on stock 6.1 .(.for me )!!!!

good luck

[Desire General] thl1988:
Vodafone UK

Branded 1.24.161.3 ROM

HBOOT 0.83.0001

Rooted fine with unrEVOked 3.1, but was unable to boot into recovery (just gave black screen, had to hard reset), so I couldn't install any custom ROMS.

Couldn't downgrade using RUU, with or without Goldcard.

Eventually tried to downgrade HBOOT to 0.80 using the .zip method which bricked the phone. It would turn on but just gave a black screen and a single vibrate but then nothing else happened. Luckily I only bought it 2 days ago and managed to exchange it.

tl;dr

Personally, I'm not going to root my new Desire, which has the same details as before for a while at least, or until theres a reliable root method for 0.83. Still too risky for my liking, especially after bricking one phone.

Hope this helps.

bump... any new news on the Telus Desire?
[Desire General] slimdizzy:
Just now did I get my Telus Desire running Froyo 2.2 and the newest radio. My steps (On a Mac):

1. Download all needed files (radio, rom, latest unRevoked)

2. Plug phone into computer and set to disk drive

3. Run unRevoked and let it do its thing

4. Phone will reboot and now should be rooted (if it boots till black screen either let it sit for like 5 mins or remove/replace battery and reboot)

5. Phone should now be rooted and have Superuser Permissions App installed

6. Download Rom Manager form Market

7. Run Rom manager and install latest Recovery

8. Run Rom manager and install radio, phone will reboot a couple of times

9. Run Rom manager and install rom (I used hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741775 ), phone will reboot a couple of times

10. Once rebooted and setup is complete 3g might not work, if not you need your APN settings added in, I used these ones:

Name: Telus SP

APN: sp.telus.com

Hope this helps people. I did notice that even though it may look like it is booting to black screen it is doing something, I suggest leaving the device to its own for at least 10 mins per flash.

All seems well right now and I will report back if I find a bug.

Woohoo! I'm running a custom 2.2 (a stripped down MCR).

I used ROM Manager to flash it. Although you can't see anything on the screen while the recovery image is running, you can tell it's working away by running top from adb shell. After a fair bit of time, the phone rebooted into the new OS and off I go!

I still need to flash the new ClockWork recovery that supports SLCD. I need to do that from a command prompt as the option to select a custom recovery image is greyed out when I run Unrevoked3 from Linux.
