Cracked bootloader:

How far did you get?

Who are working on it?

When will the cracked bootloader be aviable for us?

Custom firmware:

Is it able to get 2.2 on x10?

Who is working on a cfw?

On wich FW are you working?

When will it be aviable for us?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chris_knows:
Search FFS.

Just sit and wait until the bootloader is cracked or they find a way around it. Nobody knows how far they are.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jayman1986:
Didn't want to have a go at you but since I've seen people get slaughtered on these forums when they don't really deserve it I think its only fair.

This thread deserves slaughtering! "They" do know how far they are, but so do I - I know they still haven't cracked it.

So how can they give you a timeline? If they could then they would have cracked it. They aren't waiting for a progress bar to reach 100%, they are actually trying to hack into it. I don't even now anything about android development but I'm intelligent enough to realise it takes work, especially when its not paid for. Let them get on with it and don't pressure them with stupid questions making them look incompetent.

Please close this thread! It's a useless topic

Buddy your post is worthless they dont know the poster above u explained it to you.. they might think their close but they can also run into a problem that would get them stuck for a long time.. so noone knows wait and see like the rest of us.. thats why there is a thread like custom rom dev and excelent progress on cyanogen so you can read whats going on and what the progress is. Read the forum.

And i also think the mods should close this thread as it is a joke.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Devtone:
For you to understand.. Lets say they are @ 99,99%, 1 small tiny thing can enormously slow down the proses or even make it (almost) impossible. No realistic person can put a timeline on these jobs.

A smart dev will never say it almost done before its really done.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Nimche:
And since they are all smart we don't know any timelines and they are working hard to ease our experience with this phone. Chill and wait till they inform you about the process.

Obviously some regular users on this forum don't get it. For a newbie, these forums are very, very difficult to extract exact information from.

There are so many different threads to look at.

Then once you find the thread, sometimes you still can't get an answer because the language spoken, is very much developer only.

A simple, no, they haven't cracked it yet, but they are still working very hard, would have been an easy, quick answer for all who was looking.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PoTi_96:
Thanks! That was what i'm looking for =D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bored God:
Why don't you guys just look at the developers thread and see how far away they are? You make your own assumptions but at least you will know what they are working on at the moment. Like last I checked was working on ram disks. But please no posts. Just look if your curious.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] drdownload:
Right now, imho no one works on cracking the bootloader, but the managed to boot from a custom ramdisk, however its still far from a full working image (right now its more a proof of concept) usable for simple users.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xd4d3v:
That is my impression as well after reading the dev thread.

It seems they "gave up" on the bootloader, or are focusing on booting the stock kernel, and after that instead of running the stock init scripts and OS to load another OS. (but the kernel is the same)

please correct me if i'm wrong.

I'm in no hurry to get a custom OS, but i'd still appreciate if the guys who are working on it could let us know, what exactly they're doing (no timelines of course)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Keithod:
Could someone please explain how they crack a bootloader? I know you can't tell me the exact steps otherwise we wouldn't have the problem but how in general is a bootloader protected? Is it a case of reading one from the phone, modifying it through assembly code to jump past the signed check and then re-writing? And if so how would one write it back to the phone? Is it standard procedure for each Android phone or is writing a new program involved? Or do they just eaves drop on SEUS?

Thank you,

Keith
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] drdownload:
It starts first that we dont know were the bootloader is exactly located (low level sector wise) and therefore cant even read it out, some ppl have tried to locate it but to no avail.

When I run android on my HTC HD2, my phone becomes hot..Its mostly half of the phone where the battery is??...Has anyone have the same issues?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
That is your cpu. The brains of your phone. Very dangerous. You'll mess up your phone and it will be dead
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slayerns:
it is probably due to overclocked builds. Be careful with the overclocking properties of builds and avoid using overclocked builds
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Raary101:
What you could do is (if you havent already) install SetCPU for android (you'll need to have root access for this so if you dont you'll have to install superuser from the android market). then you can set your device to be overclocked, but if you choose for this to be 'ondemand' then this that when your device doesnt need to use the extra CPU power, then it wont.

plus you can also set various boundaries, so that when your phone is on lock, you can reduce the CPU right down to a lower amount.

All of these should give you the chance for your phone to run faster and have the battery not heating up as much.

also this should improve your battery life a little bit :P

hope this helps! :D

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mtk87:
Mine becomes hot when connected in "H" mode for a long time.

If I just put him under heavy duty without network, it doesn't come hot... if wifi is used instead of gprs the phone stais way more cold.

So i think it's more an antenna issue (antennas are on the lower part of the phone too) than CPU.

Mine is overclocked, with Setcpu ondemand.

For some reason my screen quickly turns itself off when I awake it from stand by. It's like 3 or 4 seconds and then the screen will turn off, I can normally get around it by quickly pressing a button and this will keep the screen on.

It's also not a constant problem, after a soft reset the problem seems to go away for a random period of time and then return.

Hello all, I'm pretty new to all of this. I only recently rooted/flashed a ROM for the first time, and I'm just kind of learning as I go.

What I'm really asking is if anyone has any instrustions or a link to information for a true beginner on how to access adb shell and apply the fix.

You could also do it via a terminal app on your phone... I would kind of suck using the touchscreen to input the data but its do able.

if you want to try it via terminal do this.

- DL "terminal emulator" from market

- open app and grant SU access

- input the lagfix info but leave out the first line "adb shell" of each step and start with "su"

One thing to note about droid explorer. Its a great tool and will setup adb for you, just make sure you have busybox installed on your phone. To ensure you have the latest busybox DL the "busybox" app from the market

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmcrane:
Hey I have an Incredible, and recently rooted and used the skyrider 2.52 rom. Then Verizon came out with "official froyo" and i downgraded and did the OTA. Well I hate the OTA because it has so many "spam" programs... So i would like to re root.... well there are so many different roms to choose from. Can some one explain the differences between them or the pluses and negatives of them. I like sence, but with froyo the sence isn't as nice as of upgrade above the stock as it was in 2.1. I like the facebook picture to contact integration, but i really don't know if stock has that either. I would just like a rom that is fast, efficient, and not a bunch of extra "b.s." that kills my battery. Any advice or comments are greatly apprieciated.

Thanks you

kmcrane
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kappo9000:
IMO.

Vanilla = Ruby or SkyRaider

Sense = Virtuous

I think SkyRaider vanilla still has some sense left (I'm on virtuous atm) but I don't think any ROM Ive listed doesn't have the ability to us FB pics as I think it is part of the facebook app (I could be wrong).

Ruby is VERY fast and the latest version has killed off all the bugs that bothered me, but I kind of missed sense in places and also some of the SkyRaider features.

Virtuous doesn't get as good of Quadrant scores as the other two (for me) but runs REALLY smooth and I took out all the stuff I hated about sense.

All preference, but this should probably go in the Q&A forum. There are a few other posts just like this one (mine included) so you could read opinions already posted.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecltech:
Try out Virtuous or Redemption. There are some others that are vanilla - no sense - but you have to try them for yourself. Each of the ones I mentioned removed all the bloat.

With regards to battery, look at the battery calibration thread.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeacela:
First root using unrevoked 3.2

I recommend skyraider vanilla, its fully functional and has all the good stuff from vanilla. The only real things that it has from sense is the keyboard and dialer. Which I think is an improvement until a fully working CM Rom is released.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmcrane:
Thank you for the replies, but i thought there was skyrider, with sence and skyrider vanilla (no sence) I like the sence, that is why i got the incredible instead od droid or droid x. But the new 2.2 is not good. thank you kappo9000 for your post. I used unrevoked 3.2 then used skyrider with sence (pre 3.0) and i liked it better than the new OTA. But I took a "stap in the dark" when i chose that. If this needs to move to a Q&A that is fine. I just downloaded and leard about roms here, so that is where i posted. I wish Verizon didn't bloatware our phones, it's like buying a new computer... pretty soon they will have a option to pay $50 and they will clean our phones before we get them. :D

Thanks again evberybody i will read this over for a few days then i will pick one. And as for the facebook thing, if i get it on any rom, then SWEET!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kappo9000:
Pick up ROM Manager. It's the BEEEEEST way to test all the ROMs. My procedure is to go in and "Backup Current ROM" so I can name it how I like (today I backed up SkyRaider as 0908-SkyRaider3RC2 for instance) then just wipe my data and cache when I install a new one without backing up.

Then I'll play with the new ROM for a while, and, if I like it, I'll back that one up to either install a new ROM or go back to one of my others.

In effect, you can take a snapshot of a ROM/config and roll between all of them to find out which one you like better. You can do that for yours now and play with whatever you like. Be warned : with all the REALLY good ROMs in this forum, you will suck up an entire night or two just playing with them :) I just wish the guys I work with did such a pro job like they do.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmichaelow:
I think there are a few ways to go:

Pure minimalistic AOSP builds - Ruby / IncredibleDoes

More tweakable AOSP builds - CM

Senseless - Redemption, Virtuous (if remove sense apks) and SR Vanilla

Sense- Redemption, Virtuous, SR Sense, Stock

PS Not so sure with Redemption and Virtuous, haven't tried them before.

I personally like the minimal style of Ruby / ID, but it's all about personal preference. These ROMs all are fantastic in their own way, so try them out!

Haha, and yes, I have spent (*ahem. Read: WASTED) entire nights tweaking / trying out just ONE ROM. xD

Anyway, happy ROM-hunting! Do let us know which you pick =]

one problem. Unrevoked 3.2 is gone, and i can't seem to root 2.2 so do i have to downgrade first? and if so what is the best way?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScootrNova:
I too am new to this ROM installing business, but so far I think that I'm leaning towards Ruby. Seems light and will be a nice change from what I've been used to.

And about your rooting question kmcrane, it is probably best just to wait for the unrevoked team to finish up with v3.21 instead of going through a rough downgrade process. It probably will not take them too much longer anyway. (their twitter feed said earlier today that they were going to be putting out test builds soon)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmcrane:
OK well i went back to 2.1 rooted and installed.......... Virtuous 2.6! I think it is the closest to stock Incredible froyo that is very complete. I like the screen shots of SkyRaider Sence, but there are updates and bugs with that.. I will keep an eye on that one and maybe use the rom manager to back up, then try that one. I would like to thank everyone who replied on here to help me, and everyone that posted the endless amounts on posts on XDA forums. I have read so many "how to's" and everyone is just great!

I'd recommend SkyRaider Sense any day!.. Sky Raider has put in a lot of effort into making this aesthetically pleasing and stable. With virtuous, you are as good as installing the official ota..

If you want to have the benefit of sense, with a few modifications to sense.. go with skyraider.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casbah:
I 2nd these choices but haven't tried Ruby. SkyRaider was the first Rom I tried and I've on n have used virtuous the longest so far and love it. I've also tried CM, Frankenrom, and Fourth Wave but it errored on install and the forums say something about upgrading hboot which I won't do so I deleted it.

Good call!

I have v 2.6 now. I see the screen shots of skyraider with sence and it looks cool. Redemption has new 2.0 and it looks like you can add mods to change it up... if i back up my v 2.6 and try a different rom, do i reinstall all my apps? Can i use app brain to help with that? Cause i have 50+ apps. I would like a stock-like rom and maybe one totally different... also what does Vanilla mean? I see sence, stock, and vanilla..... what is the differences and advantages of each?

Thanks guys/gals
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casbah:
Here's what I understand and someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Sense is the ROM with SenseUI code (extra coding that makes the HTC's so neat compared to Moto)

Stock is pretty much just as it was when you bought it. (original ROM installed by manufacturer)

Vanilla is pretty much the Android OS running on a particular phone without the extra coding (like on the Sense)

Many of the ROM's have both a sense and a vanilla version so if you like Sense and it's widgets etc. you can get that one and if you want to customize the most you can get the vanilla.

Virtuous is an awesome ROM. Skyraider has both sense and vanilla avail. Ruby is just vanilla and also Cyanogen if I'm not mistaken.

Hope this helps some! :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmcrane:
I upgraded to Virtuous 2.7 and it is cool. I guess with all the modding and roms, i have gotten bit by the customize bug. Virtuous ROM was fine, but pretty much the same as the stock (except a few small things in 2.7) I think i want something different and fresh. Circle Battery looks cool. maybe something where i can customize the bottom buttons (phone, all apps, and add to home) it would be nice to change those. The main thing is i don't want crap unwanted software, (city id, amazon mp3, etc...) Thanks again for all the help and input,

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bikercr:
I've been using the new Virtuous 2.7 with the battery saving kernel and really liking it. Basically, it's like a stock froyo with some liposuction and a bit of plastic surgery--crapware all gone, some very nice SmoothSense modifications, and rock solid (no crashes or FCs). With the alternative kernel, you can add SetCPU and customize settings to maximize battery life.

Some apps that have been restored with Titanium Backup won't update in the market. The download will reach 100% and then the installation will fail, or it will just sit there.

Usually I can resolve it by unmounting the SD card, but that is really annoying, and I would like to find the cause & cure. Does it have something to do with the app's cache or something?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KGBxxx:
I had a similar issue. I think it might have to do with the market itself. Instead of updating the app from the update tab in market, search for the app in market and install from there. That has helped me.

Also, it helps if you post what your current setup is. Various roms, kernels and basebands can cause issues too. Not just titanium.
