Well,The epic fix seems to put it at about the same. Again, this is quick testing, not driving... just within a few minutes. I've definitely made it up to seeing 10 or 11 since I put on the epic fix... normally I don't get above 5-7... and with the JM6 had seemed to cap out around 9. Doesn't seem to help locking any more though.

If anyone else has any observations feel free to chime in.

BTW, designgears... great work with the superrooter mod. I use it all the time.
[Captivate Android Development] The Bishop:
Sounds like this might be better than either the JH2 or JH3 :)
[Captivate Android Development] ace518:
Seems to be so far. I really hope so. Now if I'm running JM6, all I can hope is that a samset gets built on it. I do rather like those ROMs
[Captivate Android Development] ace518:
Just ran quadrant. No lag fix on it got 927. Using unhelpfuls kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
927 with a 1.2 OC? That doesn't sound so good.....or was it set at 1ghz?
[Captivate Android Development] ace518:
No OC... didn't take the time to do that. Just stating i wasn't using the stock kernel.

Oh man, SuperRooterExtreme is getting ported to this!!

[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
OH ok cool, thats not TOO bad a score on stock then.
[Captivate Android Development] ace518:
awesome man. Thats the news I wanted to hear. No need for a samset now.

Also, I just went into the service mode to see if playing with gps settings would do anything, good or bad... seems the supl.google.com is already set. And maybe I just havn't spent enough time in those menus, but it seems like there are more options as well.

This rom is pretty good.
[Captivate Android Development] dontshakepandas:
Which CSC file did you use? I'm going to try to get this flashed tonight. I want to make sure I'm following you though.

You flashed back to stock JF6 using Odin.

Then you used Odin to flash JM6 and a CSC file (which?) but no modem file. (How do I make sure I'm not flashing a modem?)

Then you flashed unhelpful's kernel on top (is there any way to get/use a stock kernel?)

Sorry for all the questions. This isn't my first time flashing a ROM, but it is my first time flashing seperate parts in ODIN like this so please pardon the ignorance.

edit* I would assume to not flash a modem, I would just leave the modem slot empty, but I just wanted to make sure.
[Captivate Android Development] ace518:
The modem file is separate from the code file.

Reaver117's original thread on flashing JM5 is what I used as a guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734871

I have actually tried a few of the CSC files they posted. They all seem to be the same. I think i've flashed my phone over a dozen times tonight just seeing what works.

EDIT2: I personally like the OXA *Multi CSC* (for France, Germany, Italy, Poland, UK, UK & Ireland) as I don't need to see russian every time i boot my phone until it reads the sim card.

EDIT: OT, and that be post 30... no longer have to see junior member :-)

Backing up everything now. Can't wait to dig into this.
[HD2 Accessories] ProjektFuze:
So.... after being out for half a year... a extended SLIM battery has not been released yet?? I mean, I know i'm not the most "technical" person in the world.. but honestly?? how HARD can it possibly be??!! doesn't make one bit of sense.... and they still haven't made an OEM battery cover.. with a kick stand??!! ridiculous.. the person in charge of the accessories.. needs to be fired...

sorry just a little rant.. after seeing my friend buy a extended slim 1750mah battery for his EVO.... which is a HD2 replica..... the battery sizes are identical... and I'm not even asking for 1750... 1500mah is all i really need.. if i had an extra 2-3 hours of battery life.. then it would be PERFECT for a full days use
[HD2 Accessories] lude219:
I posted similar thing awhile back with some moronic replies saying that there is not a market for that. :rolleyes:

These people, rather, want you to believe that it's better to buy ebay/chinese fakes for $5-10 bucks that, ironically, labeled "1500" or "1600mah"! I dont understand why other phones, with similar form factor to the HD2, manage to get standard size extended battery with the added 200-300mah, but the HD2 only get +70mah (1300mah) from Mugen.
[HD2 Accessories] Maarten_0031:
hear hear. The thing that annoys me the most is the battery life on the HD2, or rather, the pace on which it drains. The biggest improvement would be a battery with a bigger capacity.
[HD2 Accessories] richo27:
How hard can it be? probably just as hard as trying to fit 2 litres of water into a 1 litre bottle
[HD2 Accessories] ProjektFuze:
i think thats a slight overexaggeration... first of all take the evo for example.. they managed a standard size 1700mah battery... you're telling me our battery with practically the same size as the evo.. can't even get a 1500?? no sir this isn't a technical issue.. trust me.. this is just bad marketing on the hTC HD2 part.. thats all.
[HD2 Accessories] richo27:
Are the physical dimensions of the battery the same?
[HD2 Accessories] Bright.Light:
Nope - biggest improvement would be a device that uses much less energy, so a battery with a capacity of 250mh would be enough for two days full of work.
[HD2 Accessories] fi3ry_icy:
the largest capacity for the stock battery size is so far mugen at 1300..

but its very very expensive.. and comes with only 70mAh more juice.. wth man..
[HD2 Accessories] richo27:
I have designed a solution for the short battery life of the HD2, it solves a couple of problems ive seen complaints about and will increase the battery capacity beyond anything available currently, and its not and ugly lump ;) im hoping to put it in production very soon, the only compromise is extra thickness of the phone...
[HD2 Accessories] mad2fly:
My problem with this is that manufacturers start making power management decisions for me. They start reducing power output from wifi and bluetooth, they restrict standards on things like wifi (allowing 802.11g but not n), they limit screen brightness, etc. All in order to say that their unit last longer on a single battery charge.

I'm sure that the technology is there to have processors that run twice as fast as ours yet still fit in the HD2 device. They just can't make one that will last on such as small battery for more than 10 minutes. That's fine with me. Make it and let the user select how fast the processor runs.

They won't do that because they would still have to advertise that the battery lasted 10 minutes and there would be consumers out there saying, your device needs to use "much less energy, so a battery with a capacity of 250mh would be enough for two days full of work."
[Desire General] Widge86:
Hey Guys,

im getting a Desire through Telstra tonight, and the first thing i want to do is debrand the thing.

I have read up on some things but still a little confused, can someone point me in the right direction, of 1 how to unlock the phone, root it and the best ROM to install on it.

Much Appreciated
[Desire General] Widge86:
Ok i think i know what im doing now.

One thing though, i just want a normal rom to put on it, just debranded, can anyone recommend me something?

I dont really want custom roms etc
[Desire General] leroy:
Look in the sticky in rom section, shows the stock roms available. Then you can upgrade to stock 2.2
[Desire General] Widge86:
Ok so if i use this rom

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe

Which are not rooted do i still need to root the device etc or can i just use this rom and it will update and remove the telstra stuff?

And is this the latest normal 2.2 Rom?
[Desire General] leroy:
You need to root to debrand, then put the stock Rom on
[Desire General] Widge86:
Ok no worries ill do that, but is the rom i posted the correct Stock 2.2 Rom i would use in AUS? for the Desire?
[Desire General] bluesax:
Just remember having a goldcard always inserted, while debranding and OTA updating.
[Desire General] Widge86:
I was gunna do this method, no goldcard needed.

http://myhtcdesire.com/modding/how-to-root-your-desire-easily-method-2

But do i only have to have the goldcard inserted while updating and rooting, then i can remove it?
[Desire General] galaw007:
HI there,

I used the unrevoked method and this provides "root" and ClockworkMod Recovery. I then initially downloaded [ROM-FroYo] Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM (16/07 v1.0c | OpenDesire Team) link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726300

The above rom is very much like the standard HTC sense ROM but without the Tel$tra bloatware. Have a good search on xda though as there have been a number of roms (sense like) been released since this one.

I have since moved on to [ROM-FROYO AOSP] OpenDesire v3.6.1 (720P | 2.6.34.5 SVS KERNEL | 1305mhz) (26/08). http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712615

This rom is a "vanilla" (plain) version of the android OS and is half the size of the sense ROM, and is clean and fast, but you lose the "sense" interface and the HTC FM radio.

Everything else camera, wi-fi, GPS, phone, etc works perfectly from me.

BTW, all this is on a Tel$ta Desire (A8183) that is 3 months old. I have had no probs at all.

Hope this helps

:)
[Desire General] Widge86:
Thats awesome info great so ill use the guide i posted to Root the device then i can install any ROM i wont, i think ill use the original 2.2 Rom that i posted earlier in the thread
[Desire General] Widge86:
to confirm even if i want to use a stock HTC RUU rom from the Stock Rom page i still have to Root my device?
[Desire General] teppic74:
It would be pointless rooting before applying an RUU, as it's not necessary and the flash process will remove root anyway.

That RUU you pointed to will break a Desire with an SLCD screen, so be warned.
[Desire General] Widge86:
Ok so i should just use a hacked rom thats based on the normal one, how do i find out if the phone i have is SLCD?
[Desire General] teppic74:
You can still use an official ROM. Read this for lots of info:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=749551
[Desire General] Widge86:
WOW now im even more confused i used to be able to hack my old HTC Touch Pro easily lol.

Ok so i have to hope my Telstra delivered phone is still AMOLED, then i wont have any dramas, to be honest im not much into running a custom rom, id rather just get rid of the telstra crap thats going to be on the phone, but i also do not want to brick it or break the screen in the process.

So if i just use one of the RUU updates in your post you linked me too it doesnt matter if its AMOLED or SLCD i can update to it without rooting?
[Desire General] Widge86:
Ill get the phone first work out if i have SLCD or not, then go from there.

I wont Froyo on my phone and no telstra stuff so i can make a goldcard and update, or if i have a AMOLED phone use the Rooting tool and update to any rooted ROM correct?
[Desire General] teppic74:
You can debrand on any type of screen using the correct RUU. You can root both types too.

If you root you cannot run an official ROM, but you can run something almost exactly the same.
[Desire General] Widge86:
Which Froyo Rom (rooted) would be the closest to stock?

To Confirm if i have an AMOLED phone i can just update a Stock Non Branded ROM without rooting? By placing the update.zip on the phone and updating using recovery mode?
[Desire General] raze1000:
hi widge

just go with the flow, unbrand it, root it and play with all the roms, your gonna love it. try em all and see what u like best. I am on nextsense rom 7 at the mo and waiting for the kitchen to open again so i can do some cooking. Tried opendesire a while back and it was pretty mint, may take a lokk at it again myself.
[Desire General] teppic74:
You can't switch to an unbranded rom by using update.zip files, you use an RUU to flash the phone, which requires a goldcard.

To install custom roms you root and install them as zip files in recovery.

You can do both on an SLCD or AMOLED screen, but with an SLCD screen you have to be more careful which RUU you use.

Thanks for the effort in putting this tutorial together!

Thanks for putting me in your credits. However, would you mind fixing my name?

It's SYNTHAXXX (not Syntaxx).

Thanks :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
i'm having a lot of issues with this guide.

1) you say to download a package containing three files...it only has one file - metroapns.xml

2) during the mms process you tell us to donwload and install apn backup twice, and backup, delete, and restore apns twice.

3) it feels like the app part is doing via adb what we did via root explorer before

4) i followed all your instructions except the part for apps and tried to make a call...i'm getting "if you'd like to make a collect calll" - not connected to metro!!!!

so what now?
[EVO 4G Android Development] louforgiveno:
did you do a nv backup in qpst? if so do a restore, worked for me when I had this problem a while ago.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
i did a backup, i did a restore, and nothing. i just reflashed the rom (basically going back to step 1) and still no connection to metro. keep in mind i had connection prior to starting this guide...what step along the way could have killed it?

even if i dial 611 i get "if you'd like to make a collect call..."
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:
Wow. I'm not on metro but props to you guys, great write up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
ok now i'm really going to need an explanation.

there has to be something that got messed up along the way that i'm not seeing...

i followed the instructions above step by step, and ended up "if you'd like to make a collect call" - 411, 611, nothing dials out.

-----

i reflashed and checked all the QSPT settings ....everything looks the same as it always has.

-------

i just wiped, wiped dalvic, and installed ava-froyov6, which i had ava-froyov5 three days ago and it worked great. the qspt settings stayed the same, and still get the same message when trying to dial out....

so what step in this guide could have done something that would affect not only this rom/tutorial but stay affecting the phone AFTER a new flash/new rom?

help me out guys this was supposed to take an hour...now i've been at it for 3+ and have NO SERVICE...

Do the Bonus Part :)

Your phone probably flashed to Sprint PRLS. You need to flash your PRL TO MetroPcs

I am on 2001 PRL btw
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
that fixed it.

i did follow your instructions but you said pick one of the PRLs, i went with one of the ones in the "middle"...2001 worked. now to go back and try this again...but it'll have to be another day :(

in the meantime, can you go over the actual text of your guide and fix the redundancies? you literally tell us to download/install the same programs repeatedly, as well as doing the same thing or what looks like exactly the same thing more than once.

i've flashed phones before, including this evo, prior to your tutorial, and i have to say i was confused...

thanks for the effort. if you can clean up the text it'll be a great guide :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] elisa191:
Hello all,

First thank you to gazla1978 for putting this all in one spot (regardless of the redunances…lol) and thank you also to Synthaxxx your work on this has been invaluable to the community.

I need some help. I am sure I am missing something because I have followed this guide completely through three times and still can not get the internet to work.

-I start with the stock Sprint 1.32.651.6 rom and then do Section 1

-Then I do section 2 Version 1 with terminal emulator

-Then I go to the Provisioning section with QPST – No problems there

-Now when I go to the Provisioning for MMS and run the APN Backup I Back up the APN’s (Which there are none on the phone) and then I copy the Metro APN file to the SD Card and then unplug the phone go back to APN backup and restore and Restore the Metro APNs.

-It says that it restored 3 files but if you go to the APN section on the phone there are no APN’s created there!

I also had this same problem when I used Synthaxxx guide yesterday.

No ones guide is working for me and I have flashed this phone back to stock five times in two days and have been running these solutions trying to figure out where I am going wrong but this is the only part of the solution not working as you and Synthaxxx have described so I must be doing something wrong in connection with this!

Also something that I found as odd was that yesterday I couldn't get the APN Restore to work while following Synthaxxx's solution so I went to the APN section on my phone and then opened his MetroAPN file and manually programed the APN's into my phone.

However, if I change the MNC setting which is 120 by defult to the Metro 00 or 004 and try to save the APN it just compleatly erases the APN off the phone.

Any iedas?

Thanks in advance to everyone who helped with this!
