[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] geoxda:
A couple of thigns I have noticed are not in a FAq or Wiki that I have been able to find.

They are probably basic to those who are routinely installing and uninstall ROM's so have missed inclusion.

1. Any real discussion of GApps including applicability to individual phone models like G! (apparently both won't work on the g1?) . it is often said in threads to "install Gapps if you want the google apps" but there is no detailed info on whether to install HDPI or MDPI version and how to install it, or whether you can install one version over the other of you have to do some kind of wipe first and whether or not you need to do a nand back up first to save data or if it is even possible.

2. discussion of what a NAND backup is and what exactly it backs up (what files or data not just "the NAND" and when it is and isn't possible to do it and the difference between NAND and a NAND+ext or "BAST" backup and whether you can do a NAND backup before retrograding/downgrading to a lower ROM or different ROM and how different before the NAND won't restore.

3, real discussion of clockworkmod and Amon RA recoveries and whether you can replace one with another or they both can exist simultaneously.

I know Amon RA - If i install clockworkmod will it write over Amon Ra recovery? will it exist at the same time? I now boot to Amon Ra - if I install clockwork will it boot to clockworkmod if I hold power and home or does clorkwork only work and show up within the android rom running operating system((where I see it in cyangenmod RC3) and not operate on the command line mode leaving AMon Ra OK for home power key boots?

4. discussion of the apaprent need to have a Id or something set in google or android market to be able to download or redownload your installed android market apps. I saw one reference inone thread to setting this number in a script but have seen no discussion of it and why it exists and what it does anywhere else.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] geoxda:
to this I would also add

5. procedure to install downloaded android app without using the android market app/widget.

Perhaps use amon Ra flash from zip on sd card after doign a usb transfer tot he sdcard?

6.explaintion for what ADB stand for. acronyms are bad to use even in tutoring forums for experts. they slow the transfer of knowledge process among experts and of course among newbies too.

I have a question,I have an official stock Android 2.1 from HTC (which is a Malaysian version)

Ok now I want to extract the HTC_CIME inside the stock rom but I have extracted it (using adb pull) and have sent it to a ROM dev,but the when he (the ROM dev) checked the files,he said I gave him the wrong .odex files...

Here is the download link for the files

Everytime you reboot your phone it will write the necessary dex and .android files to it.... so just pop it back in and reboot and then after its rebooted check the card and you will see the files have megically returned.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] a042349:
Anybody using Tasker on their Streaks?

I just started playing with the 7 day trial, and it seems very powerful.

However I can't seem to get the "turn on wifi" when a particular app is launched.

The wifi icon never shows up in the status bar on my Streak, and the apps don'tr recognize it as enabled, however the "power control" widget and the drop down of the notification bar does show wifi enabled/disabled as expected (app launched or closed).

Other events (say brightness to max if app x is launched seem to work fine.

But so far not wifi or Bluetooth - whcih i two big ones for an app like this.

Anybody having any luck with this on their Streak?
[HD2 General] andrearoma90:
hello everybody,

i want to know what are the difference between the TMOUS antenna and European antenna..

i have the tmous hd2 using in italy, but the signal is not very good, i don t know why...the band is GSM! can I change the tmous antenna with a european one or i will brick my phone??

thanks a lot from italy
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
You're thinking of the radios (software), not the antenna (hardware).

You do NOT want to use a radio for the euro HD2 on the T-Mobile HD2, that is the surest way to brick it. However, you CAN try different radios for the T-Mobile version, to see if any of them help improve your reception there.
[HD2 General] andrearoma90:
i tried to flash a new radios but the reception doesn' t improve.. i think that the tmous antenna is different than the european one...what do you think about this?? thanks a lot
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I don't really know for sure....but it's an integral part of the chassis, so it's not like you could just replace it anyway, not without a lot of effort.
[HD2 General] andrearoma90:
i' m thinking i must change anything in the registry, for example in "hklm\comm\tcpip" what do you think about this??
[HD2 General] gaarry:
I think you need to not mess around in the Registry, that's what.

Just flash different radios, they aren't hard to flash, and try them out for a little, one is bound to help you get better reception!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
...but DO NOT flash any radio with 51 in the version number. your phone will be unrepairable.
[HD2 General] Ryan79:
As the other's have said, you can try different TMOUS SUPPORTED radios, but unfortunately that's all you really have available to try... the registry wouldn't have anything to do with reception... it only deals with the PDA function of the phone, not the phone function it's self.
[G1 General] raqua:
My biggest problem with G1 is not having enough ram. While checking what sits in my ram with MemoryUsage app I noticed virtual keyboard. Since I almost never used it, I killed it. This caused home to reload, but I believe that keyboard has not been loaded instantly.

But after some time, I could see it there again hogging my precious 9MB. Since my phone has usually only like 15MB ram free, this was quite annoying.

After doing some research and BACKUP, since I am rooted I decided to rename the application to see if it will work. The app in question is LatinIME.apk. I renamed it to LatinIME.apkBkp. While I have been there, I did the same thing with LatinImeTutorial.apk. Both files are located in /system/app.

You have to remount it writable first, search this forum for how to do it.

After renaming that file (and maybe killing the app, don't remember exactly) my phone tried to reload home. It failed to do so, force closed and then tried again, resulting in infinite loop.

I rebooted the phone and it worked well, starting normally. Now I have more ram and performance of my phone improved a bit. My free ram stays a bit higher and apps are not so often removed from it.

Overall I am happy about the result and I am looking for more unnecessary stuff to remove. :)

I am on CyanogenMod 4 btw., so there might be different keyboard apps on other roms.

I have not found anyone mentioning this here, only some tutorials how to change default keyboard, so hopefully someone will find this useful.

If you have any suggestion how to sqeeze even more ram from my G1, bring them on please. (I know of swap, compcache, 10mb hack and keeping low number of apps)
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Unused RAM is wasted RAM. The system will kill applications when more memory is needed. Don't worry about it.

And time for you to upgrade to CM6, don't you think?
[G1 General] jubeh:
Idiocy runs rampant at Dream forums, huh? Blame the stupid Advanced Task killer dev for getting all these idiots believing killing apps actually serves a purpose...

Anyway, if the OP is concerned about memory usage and bloat, I very much doubt CM6 is a step in the right direction. Maybe the latest CM 5 is a better option.
[G1 General] raqua:
Yep, I am very well aware how does it work, but killing the app and loading the other one uses CPU cycles and makes system slow. Especially if it happens all the time as it does on my phone. This is actually the biggest source of laggines imho.

Plus, I am pretty sure, that system apps are not unloaded (some of them at least) or they are unloaded as a last resort. Which was also the case here. I could see other apps being killed (which I did not wanted to be killed) while unused virtual keyboard was happily sitting there.

For the record, I do not use task killer of any sort, does not make significant difference for me and occupies more ram than it saves. So please save that 'idiot' for someone else.

I do not plan to switch to CM5 or CM6, because those need even more ram as CM4 does. Afaik, those roms use hw graphics support which prohibits 10mb hack. I definitely keep 10mb hack on my phone. Did a lot of good to it's speed.
[G1 General] elltg:
Okay so what setup are you using?

I have tryed every which rom out there since i got into it and i usually only use my phone for browsing youtube music and normal phone stuff and am find these new firmwares to be getting sluggish. Basically i want a lightning quick basic build. I am interested in what exactly you are using.
[G1 General] raqua:
I am using last version of CyanogenMod from 4 series. That is Android 1.6 based.

I have apps2sd, 10mb hack and compcache enabled. No swap. Was not working for me. I removed all the apps that stay in memory like all widgets etc. The only things that is running in my memory permanently are: SeePU (to monitor my phone), JuiceDefender (to save battery), Battery Left widget and Astrid.

I set my phone to keep Home app in memory all the time, removed all the unnecessary effects in Spare Parts and removed virtual keyboard.

With this setup, my phone performs quite ok. Not as snappy as I would want it to be, but acceptable.

Hope it helps.
[G1 General] borodin1:
I have been using Super-D 1.9.3 with 10mb hack. Removed VPN, VoiceDialer, GenieWidget and some other misc things. Latest ADW instead of Launcher.apk, MusicMod 1.5 instead of stock music, latest 1.6 Phone.apk from Wysie. I also themed my lockscreen and Powertop widget. I has been about 4 months since I flashed it and it hasn't slowed down much at all (and I rarely reboot it). Not a singel FC! Battery lasts me thru the day (I have facebook, twitter and Gmail updating themselves). All in all, its one of the best set-ups I've used. I strongly suggest trying out earlier Super-D roms if you're looking for reliable daily driver (anything before 1.11 should be quite good, 1.11 is when it all went downhill)

Good luck.
[G1 General] mejorguille:
You have options.

-Remove apps2sd and use the mtd patch method. That way you cut out the slowest link on the phone: the memory card. With the MTD hack, you can get maybe 150 megs or more of internal space for apps on a donut rom.

-Use the latest version of setcpu since it doesn't stay in memory. You can try an overclock, it will help but shorten battery life some. Maybe 576 or 595 would be enough of an overclock to make it feel faster yet not drain battery like crazy.

-Keep CC on and lock home in memory

-remove the battery widget lol.

=Delete juicedefender and just use the power control widget.

-I usually remove apps that tend to launch on their own, such as the genie widget or the voice search, as well the the VK since I never use those. It's easy enough to write a script or remove them by hand from the terminal. for example, to remove the VK, open terminal and type

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -f /system/app/LatinIME.apk

-reboot your phone often, and try clearing your cache using cachemate or similar
[HD2 Accessories] tids2k:
Hello everyone,

I am once again back with a new set of accessories that i enjoyed on my handset and it is called The GELA SKIN. It is a skin or a cover which can be applied on the back of the handset to complement your taste and as well as your style. I did saw one post somewhere regarding the Gela Skin but it wasnt attended on too much. So here it is ..

Some of the skins that i enjoyed on my HD2 were the " Five Dancing Figures" which complemented with my white mini bluetooth keyboard and a matter of fact i did get a lot of attention because of the skin.

The funnier part whenever i use to open up my HD2 in the train, the person next to me always use to give me an amazed look that howcome i had such a beautiful handset :D . So i guess it compliments as well ...

I dont have any pictures to show you now since i am not using the gela skin anymore, but anyone who is interested in buying one.

Can head to this website:

Gelaskins Official Website: http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/HTC_HD2

Pricing: $14.98 / skin

yeah this is some expensive skin... and offers no protection! :o
[HD2 Accessories] deb10042:
I'm kind of astonished about persons giving their 2 cents, obviously without having ordered one of those skins and without having the least personal experience on this :p

I'd rather prefer to hear an opinion of one of you, having applied it to his HD2 :rolleyes:

Thanks!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris5304:
Rooted using unrevoked. Flashed NeoPhyte 1.7.1 which was great. Flashed LeeDriod which was fine. Flashed pinky-desire-1.8, also fine. Flashed NeoPhyte 1.8 and got weird colors on all screens following boot. The boot animation colors are fine, clockwork recovery screens are fine but once booted the screen has flashing red horizontal bands and a red band on the notification bar. All colors are distorted as well.

I tried nandroid restore to NeoPhyte 1.7.1 - same problem. Tried reflashing Neo 1.8, same problem. In between I wiped everything I could find.

Any ideas? Is this a known issue? I have tried searching but to no avail so far. Any help gratefully received.

Were you running an OC kernel at all? Sounds like something has fried, especially since you went back to a "known good" ROM from a previous flash.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris5304:
Thanks, as far as I can tell from the threads none of the ROMS I flashed OC's the chips. Also, which may indicate a software fault rather than hardware, the boot animation screen, which for Neo is pretty colorful and animated to cover most of the screen, is fine. Maybe this is just wishful thinking...

2.1 Root here -- foolproof way, use it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694572

Don't bother with the one-click methods as they don't always work.

OC kernels depend on a couple things: 1) Which ROM you're using and 2) Your phone itself, cuz not all phones can OC to the same speeds or boot at OC speeds. Read up on these 2 threads before trying to OC:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=750170

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705074

As for Wireless tether, it has nothing to do with the kernel. Any ROM or kernel can use it, and most ROMs here already have it included. I also think its available in the market?

Hope this helps. As I'm sure you learned from your Samsung Moment...make sure you do plenty of reading before doing anything to your phone. Also, most answers you want are already out there somewhere if you'll search these forums.
