[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I waited 3 months before rooting. All I can say is just do it. The phone is a million times better, more fun, more capable, when rooted. Just read around the forums for what's going on that can be done when rooted.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asianxtreme:
yea I have browsed around ROMs and morphs and a lot of stuff looks great. I am just looking for a GUIDE on how everything works together.

thx
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Look in the Wiki.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I understand what you're looking for. I was lost for months before rooting and wanted a simple guide. My only advice is root first using the very detailed guide on rooting. Then each hack, or morph/theme, or overclock, or addition has It's own thread with directions in the first post for each individual one.

There's no full guide other than the rooting one. So you have to just read, read and read some more to see how it all works together.

For a newbie, the best way to get started is root, install ROM manager which gets you on any custom ROM super easily. Then install metamorph so you can add your theme you want. Those are the main basics that everyone does and wants.
[Droid X General] Sindervhit:
I'm on rooted 2.2 as of last night, and the sync icon in the notification has yet to shut off and it seems to be draining my battery pretty fast, I took it off the charger at 9 and I was at 60% by noon with very minimal use. I enclosed a screen capture for reference...any thoughts or ideas?

Also...something that may or may not be related, it seems to be taking forever to get any of my gmail pushed through...I usually seem to be getting a handful pushed through all at once.
[Droid X General] miller922:
I don't have any suggestions for you, but I really like your clock/weather widget. What is it?
[Droid X General] Sindervhit:
No worries, I ended up just reflashing the sbf file.

That's the Beautiful Widgets... widget lol. It's pretty stellar :)
[Captivate General] thatg:
I ran a lag fix on my phone and it booted and gave me a million force close boxes. i'd like to flash the stock firmware and start from scratch but everytime i run the one click odin .exe i get all threads completed fail. i wanted to make sure as well, the way i get to download mode is holding all 3 buttons, volume up/down and power till the att comes up a second time. when it does i let go of everything except volume down and it gets me to the android system recovery screen. I've now done the master clear which first tells me it fails but then says completed i then just pressed start and it tells me it fails. what am i doing wrong here. i am phoneless!!! help!!!!

Edit: to get into download mode turn the phone off, hold both volume buttons and plug the phone in while odin application is already running on your pc
[Captivate General] ag4vr:
You need to get into download mode. The button combination you're talking about gets you into recovery mode. These two are different things.

To get into download mode, do this:

1. Make sure your phone is not connected to your computer and the power is off. Pull the battery if you have to.

2. Start the odin one click program.

3. Press and hold the volume down button while connecting the phone to your computer. You should see the download mode screen on your phone (android with the shovel).

4. Make sure odin detected your phone. If so, press start.

Good luck!
[Captivate General] thatg:
Hey thanks for the reply, i've tried so many different combinations of holding buttons to get into a different mode and the phone just wont do it. i assumed the recovery mode was the one everyone was talking about. when i try what you suggested, taking out the battery putting it back in, leaving the phone powered off and holding the volume down and plugging the phone in all it does is bring up the green battery symbol and nothing else

EDIT:

Ok, it was that i had to hold both the volume buttons and then plug the phone in. that got me into download mode. awesome. plan to try the froyo rom then. thanks
[Captivate General] ag4vr:
Oops, thanks for the correction.

Good luck with the Froyo ROM. I think I'll wait until the Captivate kernel is ready for 2.2.
[Android Apps and Games] oneders65:
I would like to request a developer to make an Android App similar to the WM6 Sirius Radio App attached here. The difference from the current WM6 App from the Android App is that the requires a $2.99 a month fee. Old timers like me got a life time plan that allows internet listening for free. With my WM6 TP2 I could do this with this App. Now that I have a Eris I am screwed because they consider streaming to a phone different than streaming to a laptop (Major Bull Crap)!! I would think someone could port this over to Android. Any ways it would be appreciated from me and others to make an alternate player......

Here is the commercial Sirius App too.
[Android Apps and Games] ghettofreeryder:
I have a life time internet plan and I can use the program provided by Sirius. I did have to download the apk from the Canadian site to get it to work though, as the US and Canadian websites have different versions, each for their respective country.
[Android Apps and Games] oneders65:
Grandfather Date

There is a grandfather date that allows older life time plan to get the phone internet feed for free. I am not one of those life time members. :mad: This is why I think an App like the WM6 one would benifit everyone. To me internet access is internet access.... wether you get it on a phone or a laptop.
[Android Apps and Games] bubba222:
Sirius Update 1.10

Does anyone have the update for the SiriusXM app to 1.10? Have the link provided by Sirius site, but keep receiving "Not Found the requested item could not be found".

If anyone has the update and can post it on here, I would be forever at your service!!!!! :)

Doesn't show up on the market for me, but I am not in the U.S. so that probably is the reason, no need, found the file so I am good to go and happy!!!
[Android Apps and Games] moosc:
Get it from the market. That's where its at.
[Android Apps and Games] Drootz!:
Any idea what the grandfather date is? I have had a lifetime plan for roughly 5 years now.....Never had to pay for online listening through my computer.

Tried the SiriusXM app in the US market and they want the extra $2.99. I just downloaded the canadian apk file so I am gonna give that a try next.

I too agree internet access is internet access.... whether you get it on a phone or a laptop.
[Android Apps and Games] hella356:
I'm in exactly the same situation, lifetime member who just broke his WM phone and now is stuck having to pay extra due to having an Android phone. I wish I knew how to code!

It's good that nick has been able to restore all the posts that were lost after the hack
[HTC Aria General] duckredbeard:
I have a relatively new Aria that I have been considering rooting. Several reasons.

1. Not impressed with the onboard memory and would like to delete bloatware such as Peep, AT&T Maps/Navigator/Hot Spots, Footprints, Friend Stream, IM, Latitude, and a few others. A few of those apps keep showing up in my ATK list, so I'd like to just get rid of them, as I have no intent to use them...why let them wreck my RAM?

2. Speed. I've read enough forum posts to believe that my device will run selected apps faster. Make it so.

3. Use MicroSD card for apps. Hate to be limited to the internal capacity. I expect to partition the new SD card, 1GB dedicated to apps. New card likely to be 8GB.

Here are the questions...

1. I'll be getting a new SD card before the rooting begins. How important is the whole Class 2/4/6 thing. Is Class 4 good enough?

2. If I simply swap out the SD card with a new one before the root, what would I lose besides the photos, movies, music that I have manually transferred to the existing SD card?

3. How do I go about backing up the phone for restoration if the rooting thing doesn't work out?

4. What apps/functionality will I find in the phone after the rooting?

5. Is there a list of apps/files that should not be deleted after the rooting?

6. What is all this "flasing ROM" talk about? How do I chose what I should be flashing? What are the differences and does my device model matter in this decision?
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
Anthony1s, your post is spot on except for a bit of confusion on what the term "ROM" really means. You basically have the idea right except that it really has nothing to do with emulation. You aren't emulating an operating system on your phone; you are running it natively!

The "ROM" (in terms of how it applies to an Android phone) is basically the main operating system and a collection of apps necessary for the phone to function. When you "flash" a ROM, you are replacing what is currently on the phone with a new version of the operating system. That's all you really need to know as far as Android ROMs are concerned.

For the Aria, there aren't a ton of options yet on which ROM to use. The Liberated ROMs by attn1 are created by taking the default ROM that comes with the phone and making minor adjustments -- namely, deleting a few built-in apps that most people don't want and removing boot up sounds. If you use this ROM, your phone will appear to function virtually unchanged from the way it comes out of the box. Everything will look the same, it will still have Sense UI on Android 2.1 (Eclair), etc. If the only thing you want is to remove some of the "bloatware" apps, I suggest using one of the Liberated ROMs instead of trying to delete the apps manually. It's a lot simpler this way.

There's also the CM6 Froyo ROM. You can read the thread on it to see all the differences, but it uses Android 2.2 (Froyo) with the default Android UI (not Sense UI). Also, if you install this, you have to do a complete reset on the phone to clear all settings/etc., which is not necessary with Liberated. The CM6 ROM is still in an early development stage which means there are probably some bugs that you will encounter although it may not be anything too significant, whereas the Liberated ROM seems to have almost everything working correctly. The main advantage of this build is the fact that it uses Froyo which has some speed improvements for apps among other new features.

Hopefully that answers all your questions.
[HTC Aria General] Anthony1s:
Thanks Drumist. I got a question that I've had on my mind for two days. I've read that the Nexus One gets more MFLOPS because froyo 2.2 uses a JIT compiler. Does the CM6 ROM use a JIT compiler or is that something we have to wait for in the official release? I don't mean to hijack, but your knowledge reminded me of my question.
[HTC Aria General] ocswing:
Yes, the CM6 ROM has the JIT compiler. It's one of the reasons the benchmarks for the Aria on CM6 are almost double that of the stock rom. You can actually turn it off as well if you hit Menu > Cyanogen Mod Settings > Performance Settings.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RTLHTC:
i have read and understand some of it. my question is what is what is the good ROM for TMOUS to run froyo 2.2. what i have right now is. radio: 2-10-50-26. ROM: Cell EVO V1, and HSPL: 2.08.hspl. with that when i ran android. some time it went dead and have to remove the battery. or play youtube with green screen flicking. and its have a hard time to get GPS signal or not even detect any gps.

so i once again i have Tmobile USA HTC HD2. thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] theslam08:
Honestly, I was in the same shoes as you. But, here is the new update.

Updated FROM 2.10.50.26 to 2.12.50.2_2

Then went to this rom, put it on

And got this froyo.

So far....

BEST yet, no SOD for me or freezes and been using for a day and a half now. Nice.

Can i use it to tether my ps3 to play online? or will pdanet or easy tether work? can i use those for an xbox360 to play online? im going to be away from internet for a week and those will be my only entertainments :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youngin:
I don't believe u can because you have to remember with pdanet u have to have it installed on the CPU and with wifi tether and easy tether they set up an adhoc network. But I haven't tested it on ps3

My gps does not seem to work with any 2.2 rom whether it be rc1 or nightlies.

I have tried flashing the newest radio, wipe>re-flashing rc1 and nightlies but nothing seems to solve this issue.

Could anyone point me in the right direction to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance for any help!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dinanS52:
So I used GParted to format the SD card to FAT32. When I log in to Windows, I still see "EncFiltLog.menc" and a Application Data folder. Are these created by the phone itself? How do I stop this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] athar13:
Yes. They are windows files. Application Data stores information regarding some applications, such as saved games, application settings, configurations, etc. No idea about the .menc file. Baffled myself :)

[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
I have noticed this problem over the past couple of days. If I am sending a message and at the same time someone is calling me I get a "message not sent" error and the phone never rings or nothing, as if no one was calling me.

This has been happening way too frequently for men and I tested it happens every single time no matter if I'm on 3G,4G or Wifi and on 2 Evos.

Am I the only one?
[EVO 4G General] om4:
i think froyo is really buggy, as soon installed the froyo 2.2 fix from htc ive been having problems, when i send or receive a text it either does what you describe or if im tethering, it causes a connection timed out error, and i cant seem to use hotspot over 4g at all, im close to just doing another hard reset to see if it fixes the issue
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
Froyo huh? To be honest I don't remember having this problem on 2.1
[HD2 General] mbrown3460:
Having a lot of problems with my mms. When I send a mms most of the time it wont send and when it does it takes awhile for it to send out. And the problem I am having with receiving is I get the message but I cant download the actual attachment sometimes. I had this same problem on my touch pro 2 and now I am facing it on my hd2. I've been called T-mobile several times about this issue and its really pissing me the hell off because their not doing anything about it. I am running regular stock rom. I also have a new sim card.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
When I had that problem on my TP2, it went away after a hard-reset.

Did the tmo tech support walk you through making sure your network settings were all correct?
[HD2 General] mbrown3460:
no tmo never did that. I did a hard reset on both the tp2 and the hd2 still have the same probs
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Is your T-Mobile Data connection setup to use epc.tmobile.com? (settings-connections-manage existing connections) That's the first setting they should have checked with you, there may be others that could affect MMS send/receive capabilites, I'm not sure.
[HD2 General] mbrown3460:
Yea thats the step up I have. I'm going give them another call. There's got to be something they can do.
[Windows Mobile] mukesh_thiru:
I tried to cook my own ROM and when I installed, the installation was successful. But after that my phone does not start. when I click the power button, the phone does not boot.

My ROM size was close to 300 MB.

Any help is appreciated.
[Windows Mobile] patensas:
Phone doesn't boot? What do you mean doesn't do anything or gets stuck?

If your device turns on you could try to get in bootloader by holding volume down when turning on the device. If that works you can connect to usb and flash another rom
[Windows Mobile] mukesh_thiru:
When I hit the power button nothing happens, the screen is black, the device does not start. No bootloader, no led light nothing, I tried hard reset, I tried the reset button.

When I was installing the custom ROM the battery was full. When I connect to USB, the computer says some Qualcomm device thats it.
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
If you cant boot in bootloader, then its screwed. But you said your pc sees it as qualcom device...so it probably ok.

Just put it in bootloader, and flash a stock ROM.
[Windows Mobile] mukesh_thiru:
PC shows as "qualcomm cdma technologies msm". But nothing else not going to bootloader
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
Did your ROM had a radio in it or only the OS?
[Windows Mobile] mukesh_thiru:
I guess only OS, I think I did not have Radio
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Did you tried to leave the battery?

Which Original stock rom did you used for cooking your own? Have you a link?

Did you already searched in forum for a possible fix?

i found some links http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partne...mqefhnf&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=hd2+bricked&sa=Search

Give us as more infoes as you can.

HD2: Tmous or Htc brand?

HDSPL? Have you installed one?
[Windows Mobile] mukesh_thiru:
It a tmobile. I used the Oskitchen and downloaded a stock ROM to start. I removed some of the items that I did not want, then after I did "start building". I took the "RUU_Signed_0409" from the output folder. I flashed this to my device.

HDSPL - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433 I followed this tutorial.

Can you please let me know what you mean by "Did you tried to leave the battery?"
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Leave the battery means Take out the battery for some times and then return it inside.

Did you dump a TMOUS Stock rom, right?
[Windows Mobile] mukesh_thiru:
Yes tmobile stock ROM
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
Can you please compress the ROM and upload it somewhere so we can take a look? If you didn't select splash screen or radio the ROM should contain only the OS section and therefore be safe to flash.
[Windows Mobile] mukesh_thiru:
MOD EDIT: removed link because not safe,PM OP for link. thanks.
[Windows Mobile] af974:
@ Airxtreme:

Did you see his prvious post? See below, he hisnt totaly sure by Radio.

Most TMOUS mobiles Rom upgrade failure are due to flash a non compatible RADIO , its not safe to flash the rom linked.

Im removing the link, if someone wanna try what Airxtreme suggested, please share it by PM....sorry but i do not want some noobs complaining for his phone bricked.
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
Sorry but the archive seems to be corrupted however from the part I could extract it looks like the ROM file except for the fact that it's 400mb big (but it shouldn't be a problem if yours is a TMOUS phone) has only the OS section and that means it should have been safe to flash. Try removing the battery as suggested, unless you have issues with your computer's USB or some other application messing up the RUU updater the phone shouldn't have been permanently bricked also when you turn it on to enter the bootloader mode try doing it with the phone not connected to the computer maybe it just doesn't like the USB port.
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
From what I saw there is no radio in there and the archive wouldn't even extract so I don't think there is any risk about somebody flashing that file.
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Yeah i see that it is corrupted, but you know ....i have seen some recent post in Kaiser forum with people with Different phones then the Kaiser, asking in Spl thread how to install it on their phone....so better dont risk imo :D

I am not affiliated to the suggested company but have bought from them on multiple occasions.

They should have what you are looking for. Very good build quality as well.

proclipusa.com
[HTC Aria Accessories] helluvamatt:
From ProClip: for HTC Aria and HTC HD Mini

proclipusa<DOT>com/brodit-device-holder/at&t-htc-aria/charging-holder-with-tilt-swivel-and-straight-power-cord-for-fixed-installation-513142-18221<DOT>aspx

Kind of expensive though.
[HTC Aria Accessories] orbix:
Yeah, that's pretty much Proclip's deal. They do make phenomenal products, but they charge phenomenal prices too.

One saving grace is that they sell the car mount portion separate from the device grip, so you can buy the car side once and just swap the device side out as you move from phone to phone.

I love the mount I have, but I'm not 100% sure as to whether I think it was worth the cost. If it was maybe 2/3rds to 3/4s the price, I don't think I'd have the same reservations, but at this price point, I'd do some serious looking at universal mounts before dropping the change on a ProClip rig.
