What exact Roms have you tried?

Have you tried vbn's and chucky's Android compatable roms in the HD2 Android Development Forum?

Mark.

try miri's rom (ref to my signature) or any chuckyroms.. works like a charm for me

using energy rom with ni issue
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Incarniac:
As has been mentioned, any of VBN, Chucky, Energy and a number of other ROMs should work fine. Personally I used to use the lite Energy ROM, while I'm currently using VBN's Reloaded 2.

I've seen a lot of people saying they wish that clicking the track pad would wake the phone up. I agree.

From what I've found, the track pad click will wake the phone up as long as no lock is enabled. Can anyone else confirm this? I.E. no pattern or pin unlock enabled, just the green "slide to unlock" bar.

Thanks.

That doesn't work for me, or anyone else from what I hear
[G2 and Desire Z General] Superfrag:
Nope, the trackpad doesn't work at all. Only when pressing the power button or sliding the QWERTY keyboard out.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Menace II Society:
I wish there was another way, like hitting the track pad button. I hate having to hit the power button cause they placed it in such an odd spot and it's not raised enough. It's fine when I'm gripping the phone closed but when I have the keyboard open and it goes back into lock, then it's a problem for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ekoulak:
If your keyboard is slid open and the device locks than you can hit any button on the keyboard to unlock it
[G2 and Desire Z General] Menace II Society:
Much appreciated, thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] larryccf:
last night it worked for me 15 - 16 times in a row, this was while the phone was charging (tethered to my laptop, pdanet connected)

this afternoon, at the office, i couldn't get the trackpad to work at all

tonite, back tethered to my laptop and charging, and it works 5 times in a row

only other item - i do have No Lock installed and lock disabled

PS - took it off the tether and it woke the screen, but inconsistently, connected it back to the laptop, and bingo - trackpad is waking the screen up consistently - go figure
[G2 and Desire Z General] weber09:
Well this is weird. It was working for me 20 minutes ago repeatedly... now it won't. Hmmmm

P.s. I too am upset that htc switched the power/lock button to the top right as opposed to top left -.-

I was thinking it would be cool to add part of a song from mp3 to the boot animation. I like the looks of the cm6 animation but would like to add sound to it. I am complete newbie. So need alot of help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evanscnce:

To add it involves making files and editing a system file. Its not recommended for noobies. But if you want, I can post the instructions =P

[General Topics] leebo:
Perhaps I'm being naive, but I was thinking of starting a petition or something regarding the standard two year contract cell phone company's require in order to get a discount on new equipment.

What gave me the idea is, my brother got an HTC MyTouch with Android 1.6 about a year ago, and I recently got an EVO running 2.2. I've started to notice a high percentage of apps I recommend to him turn out to only run on 2.1 and higher.

He is not eligible for a discounted upgrade until July. Seem's to me if these companies are going to lock us in, they should guarantee that they will update the phone's OS for the same amount of time, assuming updates exist.

I realize most people will think, "good luck with that", and for good reason. Some people might not upgrade if their current phones are up to date.

I understand when you buy a new computer, you don't get a free upgrade to the next version of the OS. But you also don't get locked into a two year contract!

But this seems along the same lines as being charged 20 cents for each text. Actually, worse, since you can choose to not use text messaging. This seems even more of an issue now that they've increased their ETF's.

Perhaps a big enough response would motivate some politician to look into this. I have no idea where to start. Facebook? Twitter?:mad:
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
If you pay for internet service and get a free netbook they do not promise additional updates or anything of that nature and the same goes for phones. A company like HTC may not be able to handle the workload of their smaller entry level phones when they are now putting real phones on the market. if you want your mytouch updated root the phone. simple and its not like those things are even worth selling anymore anyway.
[General Topics] leebo:
If you buy a netbook it's yours, you aren't required to sign two years of your life away. And it's not HTC who's requiring you to sign, it's the cell providers.

If you're happy with no updates, fine. At least Sprint seems to believe there are people who feel as I do, they give you a discount after only one year.

I don't think it's too much to ask for. Once they make the decision not to provide OS updates, they should offer a discounted new phone, or let you out of your contract.
[General Topics] bemymonkey:
Can't really compare that... you don't need to void the netbook's warranty to upgrade the OS. :(
[General Topics] setzer715:
When did T-Mobile decided not to update the phone? Or better yet, when did T-Mobile announce that they will not be updating that particular phone? Great things come to those with patience.
[General Topics] leebo:
I stand corrected. Buy the phone at a "discount", sign up for two years at $2160 (at least), and don't complain that we aren't going to provide OS updates for the same two years.

Generations X and Y, meet generation bend over.:rolleyes:
[General Topics] janorton05:
Its also not always the carrier who isnt updating. Its the manufacturer of the phone. It is HTC, Motorola and Samsung that first have to make the upgrade work with whatever interface and hardware they have on there phones then the carrier can upgrade their stuff. After so long its just not worth working on those older phones because they are having breakthroughs on the newer ones. The market is expanding rapidly right now and theres going to be a lot of models left in the dust. Just my opinion. :)
[Nexus One General] Fiddlestix:
wrong section
[Vibrant General] yespinosa:
From what I gather from trolling on both XDA and the Tmo forums this update is bricking phones regardless of root, voodoo, ocfl, kernel perhaps people should avoid the update pending a more in depth investigation of what exactly is going on. If gps is needed flash the JI2 files found here and that should hold you over for now. This is a worse problem than the ones that came in the captivate and the sprint galaxy s.
[Vibrant General] badaphooko01:
I updated manually through odin and it worked just fine. I first went back to stock and started fresh. Gps test found six birds and locked on four thats the best I ever had sitting in front of my doorstep in a heavily wooded area. It would usually find at the most two and would not lock to any. So far so good.
[Vibrant General] Bernardos70:
Only speaking for myself.... I flashed it and it's fine. I hope this isn't just a bunch of people freaking out that phone stays at the Galaxy S splash screen for a while and remove the battery or something, thereby f*cking up something. But I don't doubt you.
[Vibrant General] yespinosa:
My concern comes from the overwhelming amount of people that seem to have that problem I for one I'm going to play it safe and wait til a stable rom based on this release is well released.
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
It wasn't hanging on the Galaxy S splash screen. It was hanging at the Vibrant screen. The logcat clearly shows an endlessly looping segfault.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8525623#post8525623

I have an excerpt of the log, which is similar to another user who had the same issue.

Points of commonality so far with another user who had stock + root + brick is we both disabled the boot sounds + titanium backup + rom manager.
[Vibrant General] rembonjaski:
Considering that the people who contribute to the XDA and T-mobile forums represent a fraction of the installed base, "overwhelming" may be an overstatement.

"Lots" of people also report successful installs.
[Vibrant General] mattox59:
i flashed through odin, so did my roomie, and his friend got the ota. everything went smoothly. i think that we are not hearing nearly as many people that the update went well compared to those who have had issues. we all had root, blackbar mod, mobile ap, captivate camera, and i had gps from ji5. no problems. do a nandroid and put it in a safe place then go for it.
[Vibrant General] Vegastouch:
Worked fine for me as well.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
The only people who should probably avoid the JI6 OTA, are people who fail to understand they have a responsibility for their own potential grief when they mod their phones in ways T-Mobile and Samsung cannot easily account for.

Granted we should hold T-Mobile's butt to the fire if their OTA is indeed soft bricking or hard bricking bone stock unmodified phones, but I don't see any clear evidence of this at all. And it's not too surprising either, as very few people who come here have bone stock devices, and fewer still are willing to revert to bone stock simply to test.

Rather what I see are people utilizing these wonderful forums to do wonderful things to their phones without having to have developed anything remotely approaching a keen understanding of what they've actually done. It's ridiculously easy to mod these phones without having the first clue what you're doing. This leads to many mis-perceptions which easily turn into noise.

There is a level of responsibility you have to take upon yourself if you're going to participate actively in modifying your device. For some it's just easier to deny this responsibility and quest for someone to blame. That may not always be the case, but it's clearly taking place with some few people over this OTA.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Agreed. We are an incredibly tiny segment of the universe of smartphone users out there. The vast majority of people buy an iPhone or Android make calls, sync their contacts and calendar, surf the web, email and text. If you started talking about rooting or jailbreaking they'd look at you like you're insane. The people rooting and modding their phones are a tiny minority, and we assume all the risk when we do it because this is not normal and customary use of the phone. Most people use their phones stock, and people who don't are assuming the risk of things going bad.

I'm fairly convinced after the Captivate OTA fiasco that you put your phone at real risk of not being able to get successful OTAs if you flash custom ROMs or kernels. The deepest I'm willing to go is rooting and lagfixing, but even then I know I'm playing with uncertainty.
[Vibrant General] boomerbubba:
+1 to one of the most cogent comments I have ever seen here.

One footnote about the risks for ordinary end users: If T-Mobile's OTA process bricks a stock phone, apparently the carrier's typical procedure is to replace the phone. If the phone is not stock, the customer is probably on his own for a remedy. Pottery Barn rules are real. Smarphones are not cheap, and having your phone number tied to this handheld computer (or at least the carrier) by contract makes device failure harder to cope with.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
I've flashed this phone more times than I can count at this point. Soft bricked it at least a dozen times. But all that self imposed grief has got me to where I am now, where I can (hopefully) reliably recover from just about anything. I still cross my fingers every time I crank up Odin3 v1.3, but I no longer visibly sweat! :)

We're fortunate in that these phones are surprisingly difficult to hard brick for the most part, and that given a bit of legwork one can recover from nearly any bad scenario.
[Vibrant General] The_wolf88:
It's better to flash stock ROM and then JI6 ROM manually like me and it works for me like a charm !
[Vibrant General] Bernardos70:
Then I don't know if what I'm about to tell you or not, but I have and use Titanium Backup and ROM Manager. Odin went through smoothly. That leaves the boot sound as the culprit. Had a couple of things metamorphed as well as mobile AP and the GPS files from JI2 installed, if that helps.
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
Even though you installed ROM manager, have you used it to install Recovery? Did you have a current ROM backup update.zip file created on your internal sdcard?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tornado76:
I had this problem on the leaked JI5 and when I went back to stock I could see them. Now that I just flashed the official JI6 I tested this out and still can't see them.

Two of the apps are PayPal and Fandango. I suspect that it is because they are protected apps, but if this is the official update I should be able to see them.

In the build.prop it has ro.build.date=2010.09.28 so I know I flashed the right rom.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miragechaser:
Missing Apps

I have this problem also. The "protected" apps are invisible. I bought Pure Calendar App and can't reinstall. From what I've read it takes the market a little while to catch up and they apps should appear in a few days. Fingers crossed.

Hi guys,

My battery life has always been very good even with heavy usage. When i got the update notification i was at 66% at 3pm. immediately after the update i was at 33% and it was downhill from there very quickly. my phone shut of at 9pm. how has it been for you guys?
[Vibrant General] ohmyggg:
Mine seems to be holding up okay so far.

If I recall correctly, the update took my battery from ~35% down to like 20%.
[Vibrant General] mattox59:
I updated via odin today(everything went smoothly). as with any update or mod i have done the battery always takes a big hit. i suspect its because the processor is working hard and draining the battery. other than that i haven't noticed any excessive battery drain yet. i will report back after a couple days of use though.

That false to facts, it doesn't play much, Rockplayer is almost managing playing 1080p but it's not free :( (and probably violating some GPL...) Btw, asking for money for a media player used to play unpaid content is quite hypocrite...

I used the latest version of Rockplayer to play the 1080p nVidia ION video that came with my computer, quite slow and a bit fuzzy sometimes, Rockplayer also almost player flawlessly the 720p wmv also from my computer.

Btw all the "native" players can't even play a plain old mpg, so much for the "SGS can play natively all video formats you want." :D

True, also can't play VHS from a floppy.

It looks like a lot of brickage from the OTA... not sure what the issue is, but I just successfully updated via Odin using rhcp's .tar file. It was pretty painless, even though my phone is hardware locked (adb worked just fine).

I'm wondering if maybe Odin is the way to go? OTA always seems so chancy to me, so many things can go wrong like low battery or interrupted download. Not hearing about too much brickage going that route...
[Vibrant General] cchrono:
I updated thru odin only issue stop far is I dont have vibration through my phone now
[Vibrant General] mattox59:
my buddy got the ota this morning and it soft bricked his phone. we just reappied the update through odin and it was fine, no data lost other than the mods he applied. we did mine next and it went perfectly. we reapplied the mods and everything went smoothly. i say nandroid then odin the update.
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
OCLF 2.1 makes you lose your vibration.
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
Has anyone successfully done the OTA with stock + ROM manager + Titanium (or any combination thereof)? So far from cruising the forums seen about 5 people with similar symptoms with these 3 points in common.
[Vibrant General] murse:
Many of the OTA bricking comments mention being rooted. Maybe it's being rooted that's the common denominator?
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Not for me. I was rooted, although I removed the OCLF lag fix beforehand. I flashed fine. I think it's far more likely to brick if you've flashed ROMs before.

When the Captivate OTA started bricking phones, there wasn't a single person who had played with ROMs and kernels and managed to successfully update. I get this feeling that a lot of people are doing something wrong when flashing back to stock. Either that or there is something about the Vibrant itself that makes flashing back to stock difficult or inconsistent. Regardless, I think I'm going to hold off on flashing anything else until Froyo hits. I do *not* want to have issues then.

/edit btw, I have Titanium too, so that wasn't a barrier to updating for me.
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
Let me reiterate. I had no custom roms flashed. Not now, not ever. I had been waiting for the OTA to drop before I started to go crazy. I did have ROM manager installed, and I've got a suspicion that Recovery installation may have prevented a clean OTA install.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fiddlestix:
Hey guys

so I was playing around with my phone today thinking that CM6 was epic fail compared to the desire rom...which is better at battery management.

My N1 is not properly rooted, as in I have not unlocked the bootloader but instead used the universal androot 1.6.2 beta 6 root method.

Now, I wanted to check out the MIUI roms that have been created so I downloaded/moved to SDcard and used ROM Manager to install the rom.

It went through but then once it rebooted, it does not load.

Instead, I have the default google logo (blue,red, yellow, green) cross logo.

I think the device has no rom on it because when I attached my SDCard to the laptop; I could not find any partitions on it.

I can, still boot into a menu (holding down volume down and power button then releasing).

If I choose recovery, it shows the android + exclamation mark.

pressing some random buttons (still dont know what i am pressing), i get a blue boot menu called "Android system recovery (3e)".

I have option called apply sdcard:update.zip

Can I just download froyo FRF91 and then install it?

Don't wanna be told I cant do anything.

I thought I had the clockworkmod recovery installed by I think it didn't install or for some reason it installed it to the SDCard.

DO I have/need to unlock/root my device in order to install an OS on it properly now?

Ah..sorry for the utter-nooob questions... i am epic-noob.

thanks,

fids.
