[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saad.dawra:
A few of the rooting tutorials I have seen tell how to root either an unlocked unbranded phone or a locked branded phone. My phone has the vodafone firmware and it is unlocked, so presumably it falls into the category of unlocked branded phones? So should I follow the guides for the unbranded unlocked phones or the other?

My friend just got the epic 4g and its got the default android launcher how do we get that on our phone?
[Captivate Android Development] tiger4j:
There is a way that they and the fascinate can disable tw launcher in their settings. According 2 the article I read, the Captivate and Vibrant lack that ability. Their is a link somewhere around here for the Nexus' launcher2. It works ok-im still using it. Ill try 2 post if I can find it.
[Captivate Android Development] irish003:
I asked about this in Q&A, the CDMA versions can disable Touch Wiz and run the Vanilla launcher. Why can't the GSM verisons? WTF.
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
question - why not just install launcher pro and get the stock feeling launcher and a ton more features?
[Captivate Android Development] artvandelay300:
I agree completely

I agree completely
[Captivate Android Development] DJGonzo:
x3

LauncherPro is actually FASTER than stock launcher on Nexus One. I had to load Launcher Pro on my friend's Nexus cuz the stock launcher was so darn slow...
[Captivate Android Development] Sledutah:
I've had lots of problems with LauncherPro. I've installed and removed it about 4 times. It works fine for a few days and then I start to have FC and huge lags. Remove it and everything is working good again.

I've found that Zeam is a great launcher, very minimal to start with but you can add what you want.
[Captivate Android Development] DJGonzo:
That's weird... No problems here with Launcher Pro.

Plus the Fancy Widget is cool too :p
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
Adw all the way. Retains the stock feel more than launcher pro imo. Minus the 3D app drawer

Sent from my Samsung SGH-i897
[Captivate Android Development] cconrado:
i just want that stock android look lol:D
[Captivate Android Development] joia:
Nice find. I could never get myself to enjoy launcherpro either, and actually liked touchwiz. Zeam, however is awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] jimtastic:
I'm a huge fan of ADW. It runs soo fast, and I'm a huge fan of being able to edit the number of rows/columns, I rather enjoy the High res look, and all my widgets scale correctly.. I love the shortcut bar too.. Best launcher ever.

I tried launcer pro, but I wasn't a fan, i switched back to regular touchwiz until I decided to give adw a go.

[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Tried like four and it came down to ADW and launcher. AT the end I liked the lower scrolling bar for Launcher so I kept that one.

The only thing I liked better on ADW was the themes.
[Captivate Android Development] ViViDboarder:
ADW has the scrolling indicator on the bottom of the screen too.

I'm using it with CM6 though, so it may be a custom CM feature though...
[Captivate Android Development] Bjd223:
I thought that the Epic was using TW 2.5 because it needed landscape support. Maybe they used that as a base for the other CDMA (fascinate) ROM.

The Captivate and Vibrant both have TW 3.0.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
I think both Epic and Fascinate have this feature because Samsung had to make all the TouchWiz apps and data fit in the 2GB of internal RAM, since the user may take out the SD card at any point. Since Vibrant and Captivate have 16GB of non removable memory, Samsung decided to not bother optimizing our TouchWiz as much or for allowing the removal of some of that bloat.
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
I vote for Odin3 and Launcher Pro - Forget the Epic Launcher
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
I can't bring myself to try ADW again because I don't think I can live without the Launcher Pro Plus widgets.
[Droid Incredible General] schwartzman93:
Okay, so it seems we ran into a few issues with the installation

DO NOT run the FroYo update.zip unless the software information on your phone reads as followed:

Baseband should say 1.00.03.04.06

Software/Build number should say 1.22.605.2...if it is 1.22.605.0 please read the following instructions:

May OTA attached at the bottom of the thread thanks to wryun(note: i havent tested it, so any feedback on the zip would be great.)

-Drop the file on the root of your SD card.

- Turn your phone off.

- Press and hold the Volume Down and Power at the same time to boot into HBOOT.

-

When the white HBOOT screen appears, use the volume button to move down to “RECOVERY.”

- Press the Power button to select “RECOVERY.”

- When the triangle and exclamation appears, hold the Volume Up and Power button at the same time.

- Using the volume button, scroll down to “apply sdcard:update.zip” and select it.

- Make sure that the software now says 1.22.605.2[/COLOR]

Now go back to the update.zip on your sd card and delete...now you can proceed with the Froyo update.zip here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770091

Dinc with Baseband 2.05.00.06.11

I'm not rooted but had applied the leaked update to my Droid that updated my phone and now have the baseband 2.05.00.06.11. I am not able to apply the froyo update.zip without getting the same error message as many others have. Any assistance would be much appreciated. I hope to get back to stock and then update.

I will provide you with a link to get it back to stock shortly

[Droid Incredible General] tylerwagler:
Is it CONFIRMED that the update will fail if we are running 1.22.605.2 with the 2.15 radio and STOCK recovery?

Do we have to downgrade if we are running on the 2.2 OTA from 8/1?

**Trying it right now

[Droid Incredible General] BradB32:
Thank you so much for all of the help on these threads. I have read extensively but I still have a question concerning the new 2.2 OTA update:

I rooted via unrevoked3, then ran unrevoked forever to set s-off. I then immediately reverted back to pure stock 2.1. I have not upgraded my radio and I never received an OTA of any kind, in May or now.

Baseband:1.00.03.04.06

Build Number: 1.22.605.0 CL161493

My question is this: will I receive the "official" OTA 2.2 from verizon with this build, and will I be able to install it if I receive it, or will I need to upgrade my build to 1.22.605.2 before I can receive and/or install it? Thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] macezilla:
THANKS

THANKS schwartzman. the "may OTA" got me to ...605.2 perfectly. I read through a bunch of other posts by you. You did a lot of good work today. THANKS
[Droid Incredible General] lamusician:
I've downgraded and my baseband is now 1.00.03.04.06 and sw is 1.22.605.2

My hboot is 0.79 though, not 0.77. Is this going to be a problem or can I proceed with the update?

Thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible General] whiteknight333:
Thanks for posting the link to the downgrade. It took some work but I was able to get my phone back to stock and now...it is booting up with Froyo (crossing fingers).

I was following the video instruction to downgrade from 1.36.605.0 baseband 2.05.00.06.11. when i booted and it was supposed to error out reading the pb31img it wants to install. is this a problem? bootloader is .77
[Droid Incredible General] Chaemelion:
Thanks soo much dude. I just registered with this site so I could thank you. I rooted my phone right before the OTA and the update failed so I assumed it was my fault and unrooted back to stock. I wasn't even aware of a May update till now. Thanks a ton!

[Droid Incredible General] dbgrow:
same error

i am getting that same error when i try it as well
[Droid Incredible General] optikkore:
I just figured it out, you have to upgrade the hboot to 0.79 then you can install the 2.2 ota, my hboot was 0.77, only problem I have now is revoked3 won't root my phone anymore
[Droid Incredible General] optikkore:
Google Droid_Incredible_Downgrade_From_Leaked_OTA.zip and download that, it won't let me post links

Download that file then put the flash_ file and the .img file in the sdk/tools folder and put the pb31img.zip on the root of your sd card then open up a terminal or command prompt if you are using Windows and navigate to your sdk/tools folder have your phone in clockwork recovery and go to the partitions menu and mount the /system and plug ur phone into the computer and type in all the commands that are in the commands.txt file and when you are done reboot the phone and say yes to install the pb31img.zip it should upgrade two or or three times when it gets to the silver HTC logo unplug ur phone take the battery out then boot into recovery mode and install the 2.2 update.zip

I said all this from memory so bear with me
[Droid Incredible General] jkadis:
HELP!

I'm about as big a newbie as it gets, but this community seems to be the most well-educated and helpful so I'll plead for help here.

Last night I downloaded the manual OTA update for the Droid Incredible from Android Central.

I installed it on the phone and everything seemed to be working properly until I got my first phone call. Apparently the ear speaker isn't working anymore, but the speaker phone does work.

I tried downgrading via a link on Android Forums that was posted within this topic (even though my phone is NOT rooted) and it didn't work. I received an error: Main version is older.

If someone has a recommendation on what I should do next, that would be extremely helpful.
[Droid Incredible General] alyvols:
Ok, how do you upgrade the hboot?
[Droid Incredible General] jkadis:
The link to the May OTA is for a zip that is only 3.5MB. Does that sound right?

When I tried installing I got an: installation aborted - status 2 error.
[Droid Incredible General] whereistony:
So if you have the old radio & are running the 8/1 leak my understanding is you need to upgrade the radio, then downgrade everything to get the OTA.

baseband: 1.00.03.04.06

Software 3.17.605.0
[Droid Incredible General] colonel187:
I just have a question.. not trying to be an ass or anything, but why are you all so interested in the bloated official froyo with bugs. Sky raider fixed 99% of the bugs and removed the bloatware also its based off of the official ota framework so the phone knows its an incredible not the nexus.?

OTA link not working

Hello, I dont know if anyone will be reading this since OTA froyo update was

a long time ago...

but I was just messing with my phone and ended up with a 2.1-update 1

with software 1.22.605.0 not with 605.2

so i am stuck at 2.1 and tried to get back to Froyo 2.2 but the May OTA for

software update to 605.2 has been removed...

is there anyway I can get the .zip file for the May OTA please?

thank you very much in advance

Does anyone have a link to the 1.22.605.2 software update for the Dinc? I just returned my phone to stock and am currently running 1.22.605.0 software. I can't get the 2.2 Froyo update until I get this update done and don't want to have to go to the Verizon store. Looks like Verizon is no longer pushing this update OTA,

[Droid Incredible General] mtvanhoy:
Below is a complete breakdown of what you need and how to accomplish the task of updating your Droid Incredible

Download the update.zip file attached below and save it to the Desktop on your computer.

Attach your Dinc to your computer via the microUSB cable. When asked select Disk Drive on the Dinc.

Open Windows Explorer and select E:\ as this should be your MicroSD Card. View the contents on the MicroSD Card to ensure that there is no Update.zip file on the drive currently. If there is, save it to a location on your computer and delete it from the MicroSD Card. With this done, select Desktop from the left column within Windows Explorer. Locate the Update.zip file that you downloaded earlier from the link below; than Drag & Drop it onto the MicroSD Card. No not put it into a folder as this will cause errors and will not work.

Now that we have the file onto the MicroSD Card disconnect from the MicroUSB and power down your Droid Incredible.

Now we are going to power up the device to HBOOT. To do this, hold down the Volume Down button, press and hold the Power button down until the device boots. You should see a white screen with a menu screen appear. Once the menu is selectable press the Volume Down button and select Recovery. Your device will go to a Black screen with a Red Triangle and Exclimation Mark. At this screen, press and hold the Volume Up button and the Power Button. You should now see a BLue menu on your screen. Press the Volume Down button until Apply sdcard: update.zip is selected and press the Power Button.

At this time the update.zip will be extracted and process the update. Once complete reboot your Droid Incrdible. Navigate to the About Phone feature and you should see that your device shows as follows:

Baseband 1.00.03.04.06

Build 1.22.605.2

After following the steps above to update your Build # to allow automatic and/or manual updates try the following step:

On your Droid Incredible select the Phone feature. Type #*#*checkin#*#*

Once you have completed the above step you should see a notification stating it was complete. Now, go to System Updates section in About Phone and you should see that your phone now has an update. This is for the Froyo 2.2 Accept the download and continue normally to upgrade to 2.2

[Off-topic] yeoldgreat1:
This is a bit of an odd one but I'm hoping you guys can help.

I'm getting married on the 10th October and have written the bulk of my speech (a bit of history, the thank you's, etc), I just want to add a bit extra to make it stand out and memorable. I'm "a bit of" a geek, I did Electronic Engineering at Uni, I keep upto date with gadget/tech news with sites like Engadget and Gizmodo, I've played about a bit with ROMs and tweaks for my HD2 to the point of being called "obsessed" :D and so on. So I want to add a bit of a geeky theme into parts of my speech.

I've already put in that the wedding date is 10/10/10, when 101010 in binary is converted to decimal; it is the Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything (42).

What else do you guys think I should include?

Thanks for the help in advance!
[Off-topic] Diamond_dawg:
if i may say so...dont add anything geeky to the wedding... afterall your wedding..leave tech for that day...it just doesnt suit for wedding speaches...but thats just my opinion
[Off-topic] captainstu72:
Congrats on the marriage!

In regards to the tech references, it does depend, at least in my opinion, what the other guests think of tech etc. If your Significent other it into Tech as well, I do not see much of an issue with it, as it is your wedding afterall.

I do like the 101010 part. Thats clever.

Sorry that I haven't been much use, just thought I would offer my opinion on the tech part.

Congrats Man can't say i's be of much help though either :P ;D
[Off-topic] yeoldgreat1:
Cheers guys, I can see why it is and isn't something that should be part of it. The reason why I thought of it was that my university friends will be there and I want to try to include them in my speech as well, whether as a joke or something else. Also, my dad and older brother have passed their geekyness onto me, which I suppose is why I took my course.

The opening line I've used is:

"I'm sure you'll all know it's been an emotional day, even the cake is in Tiers!"

I was looking for a couple more nerdy jokes to put the finishing touches to it.
[Off-topic] captainstu72:
As thats the case, then i would put a few more in, but not overload it. i.e don't do it in the tone of yoda throughout :P

Firstly, congratulations on the marriage plans!

Secondly, my first son is due on 10/10/10 and I'd worked out the binary value too. Excellent work, great minds think alike!

Thirdly, congratulations on supporting the greatest team known to man. Arteta for England!!

Fourthly, I have no suggestions for your speech...
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
hahaha :D sorry found that funny ;) :p :D
[Off-topic] yeoldgreat1:

Congrats with your son, I hope he becomes the biggest blue ever :D
[Off-topic] ohyeahar:
First of all, congrats!

Now to business...

There's bound to be people who don't understand your 101010 joke. So you can follow that up with "There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't."

Then, of course, there are the classics:

"All my base are belong to you."

"I knew it was love when I memorized your IP number to skip DNS overhead."

Seriously though, don't overdo the geek stuff. Mix in some material to get the tears flowing. Those are the lines that will be most memorable, not any of the geek jokes.

Here's a line I used as a closing to my wedding speech:

"Sometimes, you would laugh and giggle, and I think to myself, what a wonderful world."

Hello all,

I have searched (and searched) and came across a lot of info on this site about changing/flashing ROMs, etc etc but was hoping for some simple advice and response to my particular question. I am going to soon have the HTC HD T8285 Australia Telstra model for use in the U.S. on At&T's network. The phone comes stock with WM 6.1, if I chose to change that to perhaps an Energy ROM or Dutty's or whatever (that simulates WM 6.5), what are the simple and basic steps one would need to follow to do that for this particular device? I know there are "how to's" on here, but to be honest they are kinda confusing, overlap or have some if/then parameters that I don't understand as a somewhat new person to flashing a ROM. Can anyone give any specific steps and advice that is easy to follow to accomplish a flash on this phone? GREATLY appreciate the help!!!
