Best Android Rom (imo)

I decided after doing a lot of reading in forums and such that it was time for me to try android on my HD2. The first rom I tried would not boot at all but the second one, darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 [kernel: Hastarin custom], did, at least for the first evening. The next day it would not boot and all I got was error messages even after reloading on my sd card. After doing some more reading, I discovered that this issue has been seen with some sd cards. I decided to do a hard reset and formatted a sandisk 4gb sd card that I had and reloaded the SuperRam onto it. After that it worked Great and has been running error free for over 3 days now. I will try a 16gb sandisk class 2 card next as it is supposed to be ok. BTW I am using the latest Stock TMOUS rom with no modifcations. I highly reccomend the darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 [kernel: Hastarin custom]

because it loads onto the faster RAM before booting instead of the ROM or running off of the sd card and therefore is Super Fast.

This is my first time ever modifying any phone but found it to be pretty easy.

I hope this will help somebody.:D

I'm debating on buying the EPIC 4g. The super expensive price is already a deterrent for me. Also the fact that it is Samsung is another huge deterrent. I had the Samsung Moment and the charger broke on me 5 times. I had to take it in to Sprint every time and they charged me $50 each time and my device isn't even a year old yet. My charging port on my Moment has broken yet again so I have to charge the battery in an external charger. I'm not rough with my phones either. I take VERY good care of them.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
There isn't any question in this post.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Hey, I have a few questions too. Penguins are neat. I really like pizza, but I hate mushrooms. Also, I really like going to the beach but driving through New Jersey really bothers me. I'm a good driver though.

On a totally unrelated note, buy the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
1) It will likely be $200 or less even for upgraders a few weeks after release, assuming it doesn't sell out. Therefore if you wait and see what people experience with it and wait for some devlopment on it, then get the phone, you will be set

2) If something happens like a charging port breaking, that should be covered free under the warranty. If they charged you for it, then it's just because they can. Be smart and buy the $7/month insurance for your phone, then they'd probably handle issues like that for free, I would hope. Or you could always do the warranty through samsung if it came down to it. Also if you are waiting a few weeks before trying to get the phone, this gives you time to see if there seem to be any immediate build quality issues, from charging port trouble to other issues.

Guys, just because the OP didn't specifically ask questions doesn't mean there were obvious questions/concerns in there. Don't be dense/rude.
[Epic 4G General] cachorropedorro:
Thanks for not being rude. I did have the warranty. Sprint said that the charging port breaking was "physical damage," that's why I had to pay $50 each time.
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
That's total BS. I'd say show me where there is any sign of physical damage or stress put on my phone. If they can't show, prove or explain it to you, then they can't very well charge you for it. You need to play hardball with these people. Charging ports break all the time, Pretty much every laptop I know of has the port/cord wear out/break after a couple years, except for mine of course. It just happens. Either way that would suck with the epic then because it has a $100 deductible not a $50 deductible.

You could always print out the policy and explain that you believe the issue to be due to "normal wear and tear" as the contract covers "Mechanical or electrical failure, routine maintenance, and failure from normal wear and tear. File your replacement request within 60 days of incident." I'd call the port just outright breaking through no fault of my own, a mechanical failure due to wear and tear. Then again I guess they could just pull the "act of god" card on you.

"The Program does not cover:

1> Incidental or consequential damages; 2> FAILURES CAUSED BY ACTS OF GOD, fire, flood, explosion,

war, terrorism, strike, embargo, acts of the government, military authority, or the elements"

that makes sense right? God wanted your phone to die because he secretly is out to get you, just like those little green men you hide under the bed from haha. Either way I'd say they just try to charge you wherever they can, and if you stay calm and logically explain your position and belief and know yourself to be in the right, and stand your ground, you can often get away without paying the deductible.

[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I don't understand what some of you people do with your phones... In my center (well over 1000 people) we rarely hear about any issues with our phones. Sure i've seen laggy Hero's and Moment's and regular ol' computer issues with phones, but have yet to see broken charger ports, cracked screens, leaking light from any phone without the person admitting "yeah I ****ed it up and dropped it"
[Epic 4G General] richse:
For a guy who thinks $250 is a "super expensive price" you sure did bend over pretty quickly when sprint charged you $250 grand total for your 5 broken chargers. Although you are most likely just a stupid troll I felt the need to point this out. In the off chance that you're not a troll, please refrain from trying to open cans or peel potatoes with your usb port in the future, kthx.
[Epic 4G General] richse:
You gotta admit the dust under the screen and the buttons chipping off on the hero must be very common problems. Every hero owner I know has at least 2 or 3 buttons that are chipped away to the point of being unrecognizable.
[Epic 4G General] koolhand79:
Both problems I had on my hero. But i didnt warrant it as big enough to go and get an exchange.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
My hero buttons are chipped as well, but that's just regular wear and tear... Most of the people on here don't put their phones down so it wears and tears a lot faster than a regular customer. I know plenty of people with a hero who don't have the chipped paint problem as well
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
I have a feeling the OP is going to a third party store and getting ripped off, because #1, if he had insurance and the phone *was* actually physically damaged, the Moment would cost $100 each time, and it would have to be through the insurance company. If he was buying new chargers, it's $40, but the charger has a 1 year warranty on it.

Frankly, I think this guy is either exaggerating, completely BSing us, or being ripped off by a third party store and for some reason isn't questioning it.
[Epic 4G General] cachorropedorro:
To the jerks who say I'm lying or exaggerating: it was from the corporate Sprint store on Tyler in Riverside & the "physical damage" was the charging port. I asked them if they could show me the damage & they claimed it was on the inside. $250 that I paid was over the course of 8 months so I didn't feel it as much as having to pay $350 then wait 8 weeks for $100 rebate. I know this is the internet & I expected internet tough guys but this is ridiculous.
[Epic 4G General] cachorropedorro:
Thanks to the polite people who are trying to give me good advice. I'm relatively new to smart phones and the policies regarding phone insurance.
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
One question then. How did they charge you $50 for the phone issues? I mean entropism brought to attention that the moment is a tier 2 $100 deductible phone. Any repairs would have to charge you $100 not $50. If this is all really true and is what happened as a sprint corporate store then please elaborate on how this happened.
[Epic 4G General] cachorropedorro:
I'm not sure why they only charged me $50. They gave me the option to get a replacement under the warranty for $100 after the third time I brought it in. I was underemployed so I could barely spare the $50.
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
They actually said "the damage was on the inside" so they wouldn't show it to you? I'm sorry, you're getting completely ripped off. Not to mention, they can't "fix" a charging port. They either replace the device for $119 in store, they cover it as a discretionary repair for free, or they send you to the insurance company for a $100 replacement to be shipped out to you under the physical damage policy of your TEP. Also, keep in mind that it CAN'T be the insurance company in this case, because you can only make 3 claims in a year, not the 5 you're saying happened.

Sorry, something doesn't add up here.

Edit: one more thing that doesn't make sense: There's not even a $50 repair code in the computer. Even if they WANTED to charge you $50, they couldn't. So what the heck is going on?

OP, PM me your phone number, I'd like to get to the bottom of this, with your permission.
[Epic 4G General] cachorropedorro:
ok will do, thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex-V:
flash an original RUU...and all root and custom rom away (gone)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_limit:
almost correct. you still have your custom amonra/clockworkmod recovery ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
The problem with that is that the reason you will want to claim on your warranty is because your phone has failed in some way. Often, that failure can mean you can't unroot.

However, in my experience, HTC don't check the firmware of completely dead devices.

Dave

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastOne:
Unfortunately for Telus users, there's no way to return back to stock. There is currently no 2.1 RUU for SLCD screens, let alone a specific one to telus.

I had some dead pixels on my Telus Desire, it was rooted, and i just exchanged it in store and noone even turned it on. I doubt you will ever encounter any trouble, as most of the front end staff won't know what rooting looks like.

on the plus side, o2 replaced my screen too, and its much better than the screen it shipped with.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajpez:
Would it worth doing a hardware reset 1st before sending it back?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
only from the point of view of not sending them your contacts and data, , they will flash the latest rom anyway.

The big danger is if you have hspl installed, in which case you MUST remove it, else they will refuse to fix it.

Oh and if you have unlocked the network, you will need to get a new unlock code, cos the IMEI will change when they change the mo. board, and it will be locked again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajpez:
Great thanks will get it sorted out this weekend then. HTC said they would look at it to. Which is the best option. I dont know what hspl is so I dont think I have it on the phone
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:

I paid a guy on CL, 35.00 to install the software on my phone to dual boot into android, I am reselling the phone now, and wiped it on the winmo end, and now I cannot dual boot, but it still runs the energy rom fine. anyone know how I can get my dual boot back? also having issues on the android end when it did work, with making calls, I guess it would go through, but I never could here it ring.. or anyone talk..
[HD2 General] Kenichi:
I would help but your sentence has a lot of grammatical errors for me to understand. Also, it has random sentence fragment.

Although I will try to assist you.

You can get your dual boot by looking for CLRCAD and Haret in your SD card, either at the root or in a folder called Android. You must first click CLRCAD, it will do nothing, but thats how it is supposed to be. Then hit Haret and you should be booting in to Android. Try that and hopefully it will work.

[HD2 General] oshizzle1991:
go to the android HD2 rom development and look for an app that dual boots. there are at least 3.
[HD2 General] gaarry:
Maybe you should read on Android and not pay someone to do 5 minutes of work.
[HD2 General] dixon_coxon:
Are you trying to resell with just winmo or dual boot???
[HD2 General] thunerclaps:
The person who ripped you off failed to mention that Android runs off of your SD Card, not from NAND.

This means when you wiped your device, you removed the dual boot CAB file, because thats all it is...a file or executable that links to the Android build that is stored on your SD.

As the other poster said, go to the Android forum to get and install the CAB file again.

Do some research next time. HAving people do it for you means you will not get all the information required to support yourself.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
The Phones shouldn't ship with untested firmware, and the JM1 which was leaked is thought to be pre-release.

So, if your phone was in a sealed box on purchase, Samsung would have only put the final on there... But try to update it in Kies, if there are no updates, you have the latest version for your carrier

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravi4chahal:
1) There is known bug/problem in Galaxy S with eclair 2.1 that USSD code stops working after some time in . I faced this problem for many days and was unable to use some GSM services like balance checking etc. I did not find any solution for it on internet.

Luckily, I was able to pin point the cause which was creating the USSD problem and just want it to share so that your time can be saved.

I observed the mobile tracker is causing the problem. As soon as I turn it off USSD works fine. When the mobile tracker is On then USSD is screwed up again. I am sure there may be other apps which can cause similar problems ... please share if u find any...And of course all galaxy S users..please confirm if the mobile tracker is casing issue in your phones as well??

2) Edit Update - For those who find "Mobile Tracker" is not the root cause --

Backup your important data.

You have to do a clean install / Factory RESET once again... try to isolate the problem causing app by installing the apps one by one and checking the USSD code functioning...for me it was mobile tracker on galaxy s Android 2.1 .....

I know this is quite tiresome work when you want lots many apps on your device...

But then you have to make a choice.

3) USSD code error when i do a speed dial..

Please hold speed dial digit for few seconds instead of using # then number OR number then call...

I have the same issue and I really don't know what's causing it. However when I put the SIM from an older contract (same carrier) USSD codes work.

However with the sim/contract I got the phone with, I get the following error "You don't have access to this service".

Might be related to the fact that the contract isn't fully activated or something like this:confused:
