[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andrewwatson:
i have a 32B running HBOOT 1.33.0006 and I installed the UniversalAndroot app on it and ran it. I downloaded the zipped firmware files for cyanogen and google apps and then i restarted the phone.

i didn't even boot into recovery and attempt to load the firmware but now after my phone goes through the big green boot image and the ANDROID logo animation... the screen goes black and it won't respond to anything except me taking the battery out.

I expected this process to have some quirks and that I'd have to ask some questions here but... I thought I'd make it further into the process :)

What do I do now? I really wanted to run Froyo on my phone but at this point I'd settle for being able to make a phone call :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Hallo... please don't double post...

You already asked in my thread and i gave you an answer...

So either you stick to this thread (not recommended because the info will be spread around) or to my thread...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andrewwatson:
oops

well, technically i posted this first before you replied to my other comment... i'll be careful in the future though. new guy on the block and all...

[G2 and Desire Z General] Bavilo:
Since the G2 and the Desire Z are "technically" the same Phone...One major difference will be the bands.

Therefore, will it be possible, when Cyanogen creates a ROM for the G2, to use it on the Desire Z? Or will it not work because of the different bands?
[G2 and Desire Z General] diversificationied:
N1 and desire are closer in hardware than the Z and the G2, but they still require specific roms.

So......no.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bavilo:
Looks like Cyanogen won't support the Desire Z then?

Bummer
[G2 and Desire Z General] diversificationied:
If they get their hands on one I'm sure they will.
[G2 and Desire Z General] navillos:
Hell no they arent the Z and G2 are closer, only ROM and radio for these two.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shad0wfire:
the g2 also has 4 gigs of internal memory (not ram)

vs the desire z's 1.5

it should be a quick cut and paste for a dev
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
What?

AFAIK, memory capacity and radio aside, they have the same internals.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Anomaly:
I am not even sure a separate ROM would have to be written. Would the radios have different drivers?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bavilo:
Right. That's the only difference.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bavilo:
Well, I think so...Because it's the same with the Motorola Droid and Motorola Milestone. Same device, only difference is the radio. And yet the ROMs for the droid will not work on the Milestone without modifying the drivers for the radio, etc...
[G2 and Desire Z General] master.peterm:
well thats because CDMA roms won't work on GSM phons and visa versa, but since the Desire Z and G2 are both GSM they will work together....... The only thing i'm hoping for is that HSPA+ doesn't end up like Wimax where no custom roms can run it =(
[G2 and Desire Z General] diversificationied:
g2/Z differences

Rom/ram/internalstorage/radio

n1/desire differences

rom/ram/touchkeys

Like I said n1/desire have more in common than the z/g2, it's not a huge difference, but they are closer siblings.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mtl171:
pretty sure HSPA+ isn't going to stop custom roms. even then we haz cyanogen to help us hack it :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] tubaking182:
the G2 and the Z are the same phone, only difference is the ROM space(internal storage) and radio, they have the SAME RAM and other internals so as already stated they should work almost interchangeably but they may not, the only way we will know for sure is to get shipped ROM for both and flash to the other device(after root of course) since we already have the shipped build for the G2 and the ENG build for the G2 then we should be able to get root within a reasonable amount of time.

and since cyanogen is getting the phone we can expect CM development almost immediately
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bavilo:
1. Rom shouldn't even matter...for custom ROMs anyway.

2. Ram is the same. Check HTC.com they both have 512mb.

3. Internal Storage == ROM...

So that really only leaves the radio which is different.

P.S.

Yes, the Phones are both GSM, but they still have different bands, which equals a completely different radio.

For Instance, a ROM for the Motorola Milestone from Brazil with the bands: 850 / 1900 / 2100

will not work on a Motorola Milestone from Germany with the bands: 900 / 2100...

Well...It will work...problem is that you won't have 3G :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] master.peterm:
so is gunna end up kinda like how magic phones are 32a and 32b, or is gunna be like how dream roms work on magic phones............. ugh who cares there'll be more development for the g2 anyway... sorry desire z owners! =)

oh and how are you guys all senior members me want me want!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bavilo:
Well...whatever changes Cyanogen does to his sources, they could easily be ported anyways by just replacing the correct libraries for the radio, etc.

I doubt it will be a problem.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
does any one know the /system size of the g2?

and i wouldnt worry to much about HSPA+ the coverage for it isnt that good right now, so if there is any bugs with roms and hspa+ it will be fixed by the time hspa+ is up in your area.

And i dont know about the differences in the 2 phones. but i believe that it is something with the radio because that controls so much of the phone and the rom is more or less the software
[G2 and Desire Z General] tubaking182:
i have HSPA+ in my area so i certainly hope that we can still use it with custom ROMs. cannot wait to get this phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] jaduncan:
Heh.

3. Internal Storage == ROM

Believe me, if internal storage was really Read Only Memory people would be quite unhappy. :p
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
I thought it had already been established that even the internal storage space is the same on both phones, it's just the "total vs available" thing that accounts for spec differences. i.e. both have 4 GB total but only 1.5 GB seemingly free/available.

[Captivate General] astrocrep:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/22/samsung-captivate-gets-gps-fix-other-galaxy-s-versions-wait-pat/

"An update to improve the Samsung Captivate's GPS performance is now available. Captivate customers will receive a notification on their device that an update is available and will simply need to download the file to update their phone. The updates will be pushed to customers' devices over the next few weeks.

The update for the Captivate will also improve additional device functions, such as media scanning time, add the full version of Quickoffice and address Microsoft Exchange 2003 policy support."

Fingers crossed, that this already hasn't been leaked, torn apart, and found useless...
[Captivate General] AWiseMonkey:
Its probably the JH7 OTA that they started rolling out yesterday, not a new separate fix...has anyone that received the OTA updated noticed any difference on the GPS?
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
I saw a few ppl that got the update say the GPS is the same as before.

I wouldn't trust Engadget for anything GPS related. They botched Galaxy S reviews so many time on the GPS topic:

1. They said GPS works just fine when they review Captivate and Vibrant.

2. They said all you need to do to fix the GPS is just turn on the 'Use Wireless Networks' in Location and Security settings because Samsung told them so.

3. They said EPIC 4G has GPS all fixed out of box, again because Samsung told them so.

4. Now, again, they claim the latest JH7 update fixes GPS because, again, Samsung told them so. Never mind AT&T itself never mentioned any GPS fixes in its release notes.
[Captivate General] astrocrep:
Yea, I re-read the update discription that was posted on a couple of other android sites, and it sounds just like the JH7 ...

Damn
[Captivate General] ipxnsv:
I am downloading and updating now.. will see.
[Captivate General] ranova:
Yes, they are wrong again. Well, I wouldn't put the blame on them 100%, since I believe that letter came from Samsung PR (who know nothing tbh).
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Yes, it is bad jounalism. What happens to 'trust but verify'?
[Captivate General] astrocrep:
Yea, I read the same quote on a couple of different sites outside of engadget...
[Captivate General] eatkabab:
I just downloaded and updated then said "Update is failed." Is this because I'm rooted?:confused:
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Engadget does suck. All those aggregate tech sites suck at everything, but stealing good sites articles.

I am happy about quick office though. I really hope custom roms don't rip it out as bloat.
[Captivate General] compuguy1088:
This site is claiming that the update DOES fix the gps, and has video:

http://www.careace.net/2010/09/21/s...te-being-rolled-out-this-week-starting-today/
[Captivate General] klloyd:
I'm not rooted, am stock and update failed. Won't resume either, says no firmware to update if I try that.... so it may be something wrong with the update.....
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
The site says they are doing more testing and update the results by 2PM. The video only shows a GPS location fix by standing still, not driving around. My JH7 can do that w/o problem either but when driving, it is all over the place.
[Captivate General] Krad:
What is the csc version after the update?

I have had jh7 for over a week, it is an improvement but not a fix
[Captivate General] madjsp:
To be honest, my GPS was working when I first got it.

And yes, it is jh7. Which has bad ass GPS when I use it.
[Captivate General] eatkabab:
I unrooted to give it another shot and just learned of the "check once/24hrs" deal. Bull****! Thanks ATT
[Captivate General] yeeter:
I am downloading now. It is taking quite a while (out in the wilds of KS we only get EDGE speeds). Does anyone know if this will work if I am rooted? I didn't un-root, and the last time I did a backup was Saturday. I suppose I won't lose much if it craps out.
[Captivate General] LockeCPM4:
mine is stuck at "Communication in progress" it just loads....
[Captivate General] vikdmon:
If anybody has successfully done the OTA update, can they please post the stock JH&GPS settings from the LBSTEstMode menu?
[Captivate General] madjsp:
Has anyone tried Keis?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Maverick777:
Although I'm loving my experience with Android, I can't help but think it's a shame that we don't have GPU acceleration outside of games (especially with all the new phones coming out with very good GPU's). I think this would really help sell Android to the average consumer. Even with LauncherPro, I feel my Vibrant is not as smooth as the iPhone when moving around the phone. Yes, it's fast, but it's not as smooth. There's little hangs/stutters when doing certain things like flicking through menus that's just jarring when compared to an iPhone which is buttery smooth all the time.

I think it's been brought up before, but it has to do with the iPhone using GPU acceleration and Android using only the CPU for rendering the UI.

There's a thread on the code.google page related to this very issue. If you agree and want GPU acceleration for Android, please vote in the thread below. I'm not sure if it'll get to the right people or if it'll make much of a difference, but I'd rather try and let google know this is a wanted/needed feature than sit back and wait.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6914
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mwxiao:
Yeah, it doesn't feel as smooth as iOS. But I think they are using GPU accel. for 3.0, if you can wait....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] flynny:
Its definately annoying, especially in the web broswer.

Its quite ironic that if you go to the acid test website, every single android phone will score above and beyond the Iphone (not sure about 4 actually) but the page its self is frickin slow and jerky on my htc legend.

I can understand the main reason this has come about, trying to make a platform work on all devices crap or brilliant but theres always going to be this kind of problem.

But how there isnt already some kind of opt in setting/option is a bit of a failure on googles part.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AlessandroIT:
All Android User & Fan should star this issue.

It's the priority #1 for Gingerbread..

And, at least for me, if i won't get accelerated UI & browser, i will probably left Android
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] quad2012:
Yeah me too I at least do consider getting an iPhone or Phone7 after my desire, this is such a shame, I mean it wouldn't be over complicated as even symbian devices can handle gpu acc. I really hope google will improve it for gingerbread, it just cant be that an old iPhone 3g is smoother than a desire with 1ghz cpu 576mb ram and so on... IT JUST CAN'T BE!

btw I read some threads about it, and everywhere people link to software based things like launcher pro different mod and so on but I got the fastest rom and launcher pro, one of the fastest kernel out there and still this damn UI still lags compared to the 3g as if I was running android on a 500 mhz phone :mad:... I just dont understand why dont you care folks? Google HAS to change it if enough people care, but as actually only a very very little minority seems to care I'm pretty sure we wont get real gpu acceleration with gingerbread, just my opinion.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mstrk242:
Yes, it's android friendly. I've noticed the signal is much better, I get signal in areas I never did before, but the battery drain is a bit higher than it was on 2.12.50.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SkywalkerPD:
I had major problems, like no signal, no data connection, slow speeds, dropping connections.

I've tried the 2.14 Radio with the Core_Droid_V.0.3_PPP Android Build.

Signal is better than with the 2.12 Radio, but WIFI gives an error in Android.

If it's android-friendly, should it prevent Robot Voice issues?

I've got this new radio installed and I still have robot voice on Froyo, Shubcraft, and Hyperdroid.

I've never been able to fix the robot voice. Searching the forums is very difficult, as hundreds of posts offer the same advice that doesn't work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FileFixer:
Before to run Haret.exe, you MUST run CLRCAD.EXE and your robot voice has gone forever.

You have a "Advanced search" option on this forum and much more posts with same problem and ansver too.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
Robot voice has nothing to do with CLRCAD. CLRCAD enables sound in general in android. ROBO voice is radio and ROM related.

I have NO robot voice or any other real problems using the configuration in my sig.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Stephen:
I have noticed a BIG difference with this radio. I am getting less static on voice calls, battery seems to be really good and bigest of all for me is when I am in work - and I have tried every radio up to 2.12 I was getting full signal but only edge connection.

I updated the radio and now I am on full signal with HSPDA and occosionaly jumping to 3G much better!

I updated my radio from 2.12.2.50_2 to this one.

It improved my data throughput about 5 times in download and about 2 times in upload. That's very good :D

And about the battery life, it's at same level as before. I have a drain between 3-8 mA in standby. Sometimes it even goes to 2 mA ;)

It even feels faster.

And at least, there is no robo voice or something like that, everything works just like I expected.

It's worth to flash :)
