has anyone actualy got a good guide for rooting/ installing a new rom on orange desires.

i have been trying for months now with no luck on rooting or flashing and i hate the crap orange pack into their phones
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
It's very simple use unrevoked to root your desire and flash one of the many custom roms. Or if you want to debrand make a gold card then use one of the RUUs found on the forum.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PWR_USR:
tried and failed, could get either processes to work and followed the instructions to a T, has orange just locked these phones down completely
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
No they haven't I have rooted and unrooted my phone many times.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] william20111:
@layzeejay my phone is now rooted and i have clockworkmod recovery on it. I want the stock orange desire hd rom. Where can i go about about getting this thanks?

Any help would be great just need to know where the ROM is? And if i hit update on the phone after i have put this rom in will it just update my phone for me to most recent without orange nonsense everywhere?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
It doesn't exist - it's never been leaked

There are ways of doing it but it still won't be 100% back to stock

So what are the steps to flashing my HTC Desire on Orange UK?

1. Make a Goldcard?

2. Flash the RUU?

3. Root the phone?

4. Flash the ROM?

Would that update the radio and put a custom rom on it?

Thanks for any help for a noob!

Hi, I have a desire running 2.1 (awaiting vodafone uk to give us 2.2) and was wondering if there was any way I can get the phone to automatically switch on bluetooth when it is on charge...???

(ie: if I plug it into the car charger the bluetooth comes on... and switches off when not on charge)

i have tried to browse for answer but didn't find anything (or din't phrase teh question good enough)

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesija:
I dropped it into the see, repair costs more then 2 new phones. I really liked the phone, and have two questions:

a) I've backup-ed my data with PIM Backup and sprite backup. Can I recover data for use with some other OS?

b) I wanted to get into mobile OS application development. Android is something I could transition easily because I've done java in the past, but windows 7 seems interesting as well. Windows 6.5.3 seems the thing of the past in that regard, so I'm not sure should I buy another used xperia, or go with different handset with different OS. Any suggestions?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymailx:
About your Question bullet a.

I don't think there's an easy way to do that. I mean there's no specific application (that I know) able to do that.

But I can give two solution here.

1. Borrow your friend's WM.

Restore the PIM to that WM, then move 'em to ms outlook (using Windows Computer, of course!)

then using your OEM Android phone suit to move them to your android.

2. If you have no other WM (or your friend's WM can't be borrowed)

- Download Windows Mobile Emulator @ microsoft website (googling please)

- your backed up PIM should be restore using this EMU and then connect your emu to outlook through WMDC

- move the PIM back to android using your OEM's PC suit

The problem is in my case there's no option to restore SMS nor MMS. so...

For SMS, you may use SMS migrator.

SMS Migrator is a suite of tools that allows you to migrate your SMS Inbox and Sent Items from Windows Mobile to Android.

You may read the instuctions by Paul from MoDaCo for android (fortunately I bookmarked the link)

http://android.modaco.com/content/software/288916/windows-mobile-sms-migrator-beta-1/

But the instruction is not absolute success. I don't know the reason why. But it's fail on my Galaxy S but I'm not sure on my sold Milestone.

About your Q in bullet b, I don't get it. I'm not a programmer.

Hope this help.

Hello

I am in Canada for 2 weeks and found my blackstone with eurpeen SIM (SFR) is unable to to find /connect to any local provider.

I bought a new SIM from ROGERS, but this niether did not work.

My question, is the Blackstone compatible with Canadian network?

Thanks for helps
[Touch HD General] handsomedog:
Yes, it should be fine. SFR will roam onto Microcell or Rogers in Canada - a PDF guide to roaming on SFR including coverage is at

http://docs.sfr.fr/guide/Guide_de_Voyage_SFR.pdf

Make sure your band setting in phone options is set to Auto or GSM1900+850. It might have defaulted to GSM900+1800 which won't work in Canada.
[Touch HD General] samaliset:
That is great, yes indeed it does work perfectly after following your recommandations.

Many thanks

Hello,

I've tried to reload my TYTN with Vanilla Rom to resolve the 'no gsm' message on it. During the flash, Usb link is lost and now when I turn on the PDA, I've just the screen above.

Now, the USB port don't work, when I connect the PDA on PC it don't see it. Maybe it is possible to restore it with SD card but how?

Thank you for your help an sorry for my bad english (french...) :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sisise:
Hello,

Nobody coud help me?

Or is that mean than my TYTN is definitely out?

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] + Que PPC:
get a storage card less than 2GB, format it and in your PC rename the Signed.nbh file to HERMIMG.nbh. Insert the storage card and put the device in bootloader mode it will start the flash from the sd card
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sisise:
Thanks a lot +QuePPC.

I 've execute your instructions, it better but after bootloader, I have wrote in blue on white screen 'loading', few seconds after 'checking' and finally '00028002' 'not allow'.

After that, the pda return on 4 colored blocs, on the upper (red) there is writting :

in white : HERM200 IPL-1.00

in yellow : HERM200 SPL-1.04

On the lower bloc (white) 'Serial'

When I reset the pda, I have these instructions at the bottom of the screen :

M 05

B 04	No GSM

B 05	D 3.22.0.0

Maybe this malfunction is due to a wrong rom but how identifie the right rom and where found it ?

Maybe it's due to the hardspl not installed but how install it wihout usb connection. ActiveSync don't connect the pda.

Thanks a lot for your help, have a good day.

Anyone...?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rickylcp:
I think this better to be posted to Galaxy S I9000 Android Development.

So I posted it once more at here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7694817#post7694817

Board Admin, please feel free to delete this.

Hi all,

I took so many from here. It's time for me to contribute little to the community. :p

The lag issue of Galaxy S bother many ppl.

I tried many different method.

Yes the lag issue was improved and Quadrant score is higher.

But there are always some weird things happen... like sudden lag/black screen.

After I upgraded to firmwre I9000ZSJH1, the lag issue is improved a lot!

But still, there are rooms for improvement.

So I wrote a cmd which will help to generate a .sh file, which will move apps data stored under /data/data/ to the internal NAND memory (/dbdata/data) for faster access.

The Galaxy S built in 1xxMB of fast access NAND memory. It is a waste if we don't utilize them.

However, it is impossible to move all apps' data to the tiny NAND memory.

So here is a tool for you to customize what app's data you want to move.

Recommand to move the core Android apps and the apps that you use frequently.

Like Dialer, Contacts, Dolphin Browser, Facebook, Astro File Explorer......

Steps :

1. open [1.app.list.xls] and edit colume A and B.

colume A should be the data folder name of the apps you want to move.

colume B is the name of the apps (optional)

2. after you've done, simply "copy & paste" everything onto a notepad and save it as [2.apps.list.txt]

3. fireup the [3.Apps2NAND.cmd]

4. within few sec, a file [App2NAND.sh] will be created.

5. use Gscript to load and run the App2NAND.sh file. (the script requires root access. so make sure you have it!)

For experienced user :

Step 1 actually is just for user to manage the apps more clearly.

A user with little cmd knowledge may know the script only requires [2.app.list.txt] to work with.

You can skip Step 1 and directly go to Step 2 to edit the file.

The format should be { app data folder name + <tab> + app name }

Remarks :

Apps that moved to NAND may not be restore with Titanium Backup.

App link will be broken by doing so.

(I also include Linpack and Quadrant to the app list to cheat higher benchmark scores :D. You may remove it if you don't want to.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lyno:
Is NAND where devices like HTC Desire and Nexus One store their Apps?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Jonas.M:
well this is almost what paul did some days after the phone got released...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sturmeh:
Yes, which is why they needed APPS2SD in Froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lyno:
So....when are you posting the script?

If you want I'll create a program that spits out the .txt file rather than do it in excel, copy paste etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rickylcp:
yes. that's what Paul did as I mentioned in my script.

But he simply push everything to NAND which oneday, you will find out of space.

Using my script, you can decide what to move, depending on the frequency of the apps usage.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rickylcp:
the script is updated and posted.

the excel is just for user to maintain their app list easily.

my script only works with the txt file.

you may skip the excel part if you like.

and thanks for your offer, lyno. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sturmeh:
Is it possible to make a script that automatically moves smaller apps to the nand?

I mean it's not worth moving large games, but anything under 2MB should be considered.

Maybe use some intellegent calculation, if all the apps under XMB use less than 50% of free space on nand, increase X until it is efficiently used up.

Also there is HEAPS of space to be freed in NAND, delete stock ringtones, and other.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] wliu88:
seems great
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MiG123:
hmm, would moving to nand make those specific apps run faster than they would be if they were previously running under ext2/3/4 partitions provided for by the various lagfixes out there?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lyno:
What happens if an app in the list is not on the phone, does it just skip it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rickylcp:
sturmeh, that requires more complex scripting skills, which is out of my knowledge... :p

and I think instead of choosing the apps2NAND depending on size, I think the "Frequency" of using the apps may be more appropriate.

e.g. I use TouchPal IME a lot. So I move it to the NAND.

Now when I type, TouchPal act lightening!!! :D

MiG123, I haven't done a serious comparison. But as I remembered, Apps2NAND gives me more "smooth" feeling.

Actually, you shouldn't compare Apps2NAND to other Apps2SD or EXT.

Since Apps2NAND only offers you around 1xxMB of app storage space. Way too far from the others experts' methods.

I suggest using this is because I am using the latest 2.1 ROM, I9000TGYJH1 (http://www.multiupload.com/UTKSZPTKCG), which the lag problem seems improved a lot. But on top of it, I don't want to waste that 1xxMB of internal RAM, so I introduce this method.

To let user choose what core apps that should be put into NAND so

- space is not wasted.

- certain apps enjoy even faster response time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rickylcp:
yes.

the script will skip the apps that is not in the list.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sturmeh:
Definitely, the hardware is multitudes faster.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mekwall:
Where's the file? Can't seem to find it on the first page :)

Anyhow. Do you symlink the old location to the new location, thus being able to keep the link intact? That should sort out any problems with backup solutions such as Titanium Backup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lyno:
How do you find the app's data folder name?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rickylcp:
mekwall, sorry. removed by mistake.

have uploaded back again now.

yes. it uses symlink method (from Paul's concept) :

ln -s /dbdata/data/appsname /data/data/appsname

i dunno how's Titanium Backup works but it just failed to restore any apps that has used Apps2NAND...

that's why i provide the Uninstallation method to restore it back and then run Titanium Backup to backup all apps and data.

lyno, you may try the Astro File Explorer (market).

It has a function to backup the installed apps out to /sdcard.

The name of the backuped apps will be named exactly the same as it's data folder name.

e.g. Brut's Google Map -> brut.googlemaps.apk
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] robnil:
this whoe procedure demands root-access, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rickylcp:
yes. since it involves moving folders between /dbdata and /data.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sturmeh:
Does this work with the other lagfixes?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rickylcp:
not sure.

my script is based on the default rom settings.

can't predict what will happen if you apply to someone else's fix.

and remind you again, this is NOT a fix that you can use to replace other lagfix.

since it has a very limited capacity of storing app's data.

but this fix is simple in principle.

just simply make a symlink to the new location (/dbdata/data/appsname) of corresponding app's data folder.

so if you moved the core apps / frequently used apps to NAND, performance must be higher.

and let over the remaining apps to it's original place (/data/data).
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lyno:
I have this running along side One Click Lag Fix 2.0 and it works like a dream.

My setup:

Firmware: JM5

ROM: SamsSet1.9e (this makes the phone look great)

Lag Fix: One Click Lag Fix 2.0 (Beta 2-3)

Memory Management: Autokiller [Optimum setting] (this makes a huge difference and I never have to reboot or hardly ever get lag after installing this)

Please note that Autokiller is NOT a task killer! It just alters the memory management settings in android to correct Samsung's bad job! Autokiller requires root, which SamSet gives you anyway.

I installed One Click Lag Fix BEFORE Apps2NAND.

UPDATE:

Just a note about something.

Once you move Quadrant to NAND rather than on the virtual ext2 partition that the one click lag fix gives you, my scored dropped down to 901 from 2234.

Yet the phone feels faster than ever, and stays that way, and I never get any lag whatsoever, which i still got from time to time with the lag fix.

This just goes to show that the lag fixes that boost your Quadrant scores, do just that. Boost your Quadrant scores and have little to no long term effect to the lag problem.

I think the best fix I've found so far is to have these installed:

One Click Lag Fix 2.0

Autokiller [Optimum setting]

Apps2NAND (for your core and frequently used apps)

Great job rickylcp
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Not true.

Why not test it before you say something incorrect? It is really really easy to test...

Internal SD Card on RFS

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/test count=1000

dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/test count=1000

1000+0 records in

1000+0 records out

512000 bytes transferred in 1.441 secs (355308 bytes/sec)

Internal SD Card on EXT2

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/ext2data/test count=1000

dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/ext2data/test count=1000

1000+0 records in

1000+0 records out

512000 bytes transferred in 0.113 secs (4530973 bytes/sec)

NAND on RFS

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dbdata/test count=1000

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dbdata/test count=1000

1000+0 records in

1000+0 records out

512000 bytes transferred in 0.276 secs (1855072 bytes/sec)

EXT2 on internal sdcard is 1275% the speed of RFS on internal sdcard

EXT2 on internal sdcard is 244% the speed of RFS on NAND

This fix is slower than the EXT2 on SDCard fixes, and has limited space. Internal SD card is also believed to be more resilient than NAND. NAND does get faster than EXT2+SD when transferring large files, but that is not how apps work.

EXT2 on NAND is however very fast (but even more limited, looking at 50MB of space or so)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Is it possible to make a small ext2 on nand and put the most crucial data there?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lyno:
I consistently get a lot faster than that...

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/ext2data/test count=1000

dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/ext2data/test count=1000

1000+0 records in

1000+0 records out

512000 bytes (500.0KB) copied, 0.044184 seconds, 11.1MB/s
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Rerunning it a bit gives some different results too... I just took the first result that I got for each...

busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/ext2data/test count=1000

1000+0 records in

1000+0 records out

512000 bytes (500.0KB) copied, 0.008692 seconds, 56.2MB/s

Second test gave me that. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lyno:
Maybe having both NAND for some apps and one click lag fix is the way to go so that when it opens apps or reads and writes from/to two fast sources?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Just to clarify what I was saying if it is a bit confusing:

The NAND (/dbdata/) is a lot faster than the internal SD card (/data/) (around 2-3X the speed)

However, EXT2 is so much faster than RFS (10+ times faster ) that the difference in speed between the NAND and SD pales in comparison. Plus the NAND is small.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lyno:
What's the performance of NAND on say the desire?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Don't know.. suppose we could ask them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rickylcp:
lyno, good to hear that! :D

and thanks for being the 1st brave one to try on both fixes! :p

RyanZA, thanks for the testing, now I have some concept of the speed of ext2 and NAND.

I tried your lagfix before and it works great!

I wrote this script just because I don't want to waste that 12xMB NAND space. So moving some core apps to there would be quite a nice choose, right? ;)

(No harm, with very reasonable speed.)

And the core apps data is about 3x~5x MB (I forgot to count), which means you can free up 3x~5xMB more on the valuable data partition.

And the numbers are just numbers, the most important thing is user experience.

Actually, when updated to I9000TGYJH1 rom, the lag has been improved a lot!

The response is very reasonable. I can live without any lagfixes~ (of coz still running behind the expert's lagfixes here)

But on top of it, I want to squeeze out the performance little more (with the smallest changes to the default system hierarchy) so I used this fix.

But still, thanks for your opinion and efforts contributed to the communities~ :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
The idea is good, it's just that you're still using RFS! :D

Check out the little .txt file that comes with my script on how to make an EXT2 partition, and then make a 50MB or so partition on /dbdata/ and put the apps inside that. Then you will really see them fly! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tannerswe:

First of all, thx to you all for those nice fixes. I have installed the OCLF from RyanZA and tried to install the apps2nand fix but came across an error when running the script. It states that the device cannot be found when trying to move the apps. Am I missing something here. I'm running the new JPH frimware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bilboa1:
i'd just point out that ryan tested contiguous write speed and that this benchmark is utterly useless. he might be right (or not, i did not test), but that's the wrong bench.

most of it is first of all READ access not write. and its not single 512Kb files usually its a bunch of files to read ;)

imo we need this phone on yaffs with most apps and the sdcard on ext4 for big apps :P

damn u samsung !

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tommy34:
Just made a clean JPK install and used this script to move all the data in data\data.

it feels so much faster than oclf. especially things like phone and contacts which was mentioned already..

i am a linux newbie.. (just copying and scripts and altering :) never had linux installed on laptop). But if you say ext2 is much faster than rfs on NAND why not build a fix for things that annoy most me people a lot.

Copy contacts/phone/launcher to EXT2 nand (and some other frequently commonly used apps) ?
