Full Device Encryption on ICS

Hey guys!

Since I'm very interested in keeping my private stuff well, private :D I was wondering if there is any ICS-Rom out there (preferably a ROM without sense) that does support Full Device Encryption.

So far I had no luck with any ROM I tried.

I just flashed the newest Beta of Andromadus, I'm still charging my Device but I'll let you know if it works

greets

Soundless

Hey I was wondering how the Incredible S official ICS release and the possible Desire HD ICS release could influence development over on our device. Do the different phones use the same camera drivers? Will this help with the corrupted text glitch? Or is the best we can hope for a Sense 3.6 port?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Similar hardware in the DesireHD (i.e.: camera driver from a Desire HD ICS official rom can be used in a Desire-Z/G2 ICS kernel), and I think there are some other hardware drivers and 3.0 kernel modules that may offer stability to existing ICS roms/kernels. Wouldn't expect any kind of speed boost or anything like that, but better functionality and stability when it becomes available.

Not sure bout the corrupted text glitch, as that appears on even official ICS roms for other phones.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raydar670:
Oh ok, so I guess we'll be hoping for a Desire HD update then. Also, does the corrupted text glitch happen in stock HTC ROMs or just desensed or AOSP (CM, AOKP, etc) ROMs?

Hey all. I ordered a G2 recently because I hear its a GREAT phone. Well, it is coming on Stock 2.2 Froyo. I literally know nothing about flashing ROM's, but looks like I can root the phone fairly easily. I was looking through ROM's and I came across these two:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1495255

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551421

They both look like stable ROM's and are both made by the same dev I believe. Well, if you guys don't mind, can you tell me which ROM is the most stable option right now? It need not be from the ones I listed above, but I like the BLACKOUT one better. Can anyone get me simple guides to follow? I just need to know: How to root my G2 on 2.2 Froyo, then which ROM to flash over to, and then HOW to flash over to it. LOL, sorry guys, I am a newbie so please bear with me. Also, how to download GApps, and a kernel. I hear C9 and Andromadus Audacity are the best, but I like the ones I posted above better. Again, I prefer the second one. Can anyone answer my questions and get guides for me?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jspina:
First off dont flash jibwich (the first link you gave). A lot has changed since then. If you want the most stable stock ics experience then go with audacity.

The sense 3.6 one is great but will be very slow and there are a lot of things that you have to do to make it smooth.

You will probably enjoy the gen.y something rom which is sense 4a. And is very smooth/stable.

To root follow the guide at the top of the g2 development thread. Do all except for the downgrade part since you are on froyo already.

Then to install make sure you have a custom recovery (clockworkmod or ext 4 recovery are both fine) and wipe your data and cache in clockworkmod or format all partitions in ext4. Then install the zip file that the Rom comes as

Okay, thanks for the information.. Unfortunately, you need to be a little more clear than that, I was an iPhone user! LOL, but yeah, I was thinking this ROM is a good one too.

Only problem is that WiFi calling is very buggy or doesn't work. That may be a major problem for me because I run on a plan that has 100 minutes. So I always try to use WiFi to call whenever it is available. So please tell me whether or not to do this one or the Gen. Y ROM. Also, what exactly would be the procedure for me to follow? Would I install clockworkmod from the Market and wipe all the cache before flashing?

Thanks!

Hi, I have been having issues while trying to flash ROMS, so far I can only get 2 ROMS flashed onto my phone, AOKP and Andromadus. All of the other ROM's I have tried to get onto my phone are a failure, they install but when I reboot after installation it will go to the HTC screen and then sit there forever, I have let it sit for over an hour 2 times hoping it would work, as well as taking the battery out and retrying.

I defiantly wiped cache and did a full reset so I should be doing everything right. The thing is I had halfcab do the Root procedure for me as when I tried rooting a G1 I have it stuck in a permabrick unfortunantly and didn't want my regular phone bricked.

I was wondering if i need the DZ Hboot to get other roms flashed? I really want to throw on this rom : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1401560 but it won't load past the HTC logo, it just goes to a black screen and sits.

When holding power and volume down my phone shows these settings:

You will definately need dz hboot as partition sizes are different.

Also you should try rooting it again to gain complete s-off.

Well seems that I'm getting pulled more and more into being a fan of android and a quasi dev. I was not happy with haptic feedback that was in a ROM. It was strong on some but weak on others. So it got me thinking it had to be something I could change. Did some research and found that if can be changed. Used the guide from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1796789 , and I know it's for another phone, but I adapted it where necessary for the G2. So it seems that modifying the framework-res.apk as the guide referenced I was able to get a stronger value that I wanted. I even managed to create a flashable zip that installed the new modified file. I'm left with a few questions.

1. Can I use this flashable zip across ROMs, ROM versions, different devices?

2. Is there an easier way to do this?

3. Is it possible for it to be done instantly, like with a separate apk file as a full on app where a user could pick a setting?

I'm pretty sure there's no way to do this, but I'm going to ask here because maybe someone who knows better might be able to do this. Is there a way to make my G2 emulate a Droid X to an active-sync server? At work the G2 is not on the supported hardware list for our exchange server so I can't use it to get my corporate email and I really wish I could, if Exchange saw it as a Droid X which is supported I would be able to get my email without needing to go to our web based service all the time, which would be awesome.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haensgn:
most custom roms will have this feature

most sense roms will have a server exchange, but i would wait a while for there to be an actual "made for G2" rom. give it a day or two for roms to mature. also their are some apps i believe that give you the exchange option. but if your company white-lists with a phone bias you may just have great luck contacting your IT dept. I know that answer sucks but you'll be surprised at how helpful they can be.

you will have to re perm root because the radio it flashes will turn s on in hboot

now my great question! :)

will we be able to retrieve the 1 gig or so off of the emmc once custom roms have been made or is that permanently lost to us due to how the radio and cpu are tied in?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haensgn:
alright alright!

first I am going to make an assumption here - YOU CAN USE ADB?

hope so..because...as OP in recovery post said

"Go Into Fastboot

fastboot flash recovery [the recovery image location]

finished"

this may be a little fuzzy for you so open a command window

also open a explorer window to where your sdk is installed usually

c:\android-sdk-windows now open the \tool folder

you will see an app called fastboot after you type cd/ in cmd window drag that app into it

on your phone power on while holding the power button and the volume down

this will bring you to hboot, in hboot with the volume buttons navigate to the word fastboot and press your phones power button.

now from your computer in the tools folder put your stock recovery image in there

in cmd window type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

ps i could be completely wrong but its the best help you have here with that question

omfg lol here
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcolatay:
yeah i can use adb lol

ive tried flashing recovery with fastboot, it doesnt work..

Here's whats going on i think.. Hboot is set to S-ON, i cant flash recovery or anything... i tried the process of getting S-Off but the kernal on my phone is cyanogen's from baconbits.. the rooting process requires stock kernal i believe.. get what im saying? all in all i think im fooked..

Yeah that would be a great idea, but working at a company the size of the one I work for, it's not that easy. Also I'm not expected to have access outside of my regular hours, but it makes my following day much easier to not walk into 50 emails waiting for me. So if I flash one of the sense roms, I'll have the ability to mock a different phone type to the server through the settings menu?

Compiling CM for vision

Hi,

I'm kinda new to the whole android ROM development scene so I decided to follow the cyanogenmod guide (I'd post the link but Im still a new user) to compiling gingerbread for my Desire Z, which has been rooted and S-OFF'd already. Since this is probably cyanogenmod specific, I hope it's ok for me to post in this forum/thread (I didn't know where else to post, except for the CM forums, which seems kinda useless). I seem to be stuck on the "lunch" phase. lunch complains that it "Don't have a product spec for: 'cm_vision'" ..

I'm pretty much stumped here. I was under the impression that the source should have all the build specs for every gingerbread device supported by cyanogenmod.

Or perhaps I should just stick to the AOSP?

[Q] Wifi/Bluetooth error

So I am at my wits end on this one. I'm, what you could say, decently knowledgeable of android, adb, rooting, etc etc.

I've searched the forums, tried various solutions, the usual when it comes to troubleshooting & detective work, but this one is boggling my mind.

I recently rooted my brother's G2 (NOT the desire z) and slapped Jelly Baby on there because he wanted jelly bean. It worked well for a while, but then he claims that he may have accidentally left in his pocket when he fell asleep and woke up to find himself sleeping on it. He claims that the screen would not come back on from sleep mode every once and a while, and had to pull the battery. Plus, he mentions there is a red smudge mark top center of the screen. Aside from that, the phone worked fairly well. Which included wifi and bluetooth

Now, keep in mind, I followed the instructions to the T from cyanogenmod (and have now noticed those instructions are on the wiki) to root the device & gain S-Off (I didn't use visionary) and to install Jelly Baby.

I got my hands on it again, saw the issues, and went through the process of restoring to true (s-on) stock to see if it was a hardware issue or software issue. WiFi & bluetooth worked at this time.

when I went to revert to back to true stock, I skipped the step to use a hexeditor to revert the version to 1.00.000.0 that was on theUnlockr (didn't even use misc_version) and just dropped the stock 2.2 PM10IMG.zip file on the sd card and installed it from boot loader.

Well, I go to turn on WiFi so I can run through stock setup using my gmail account (as he already had his sc & simcard for use in his old MotoCliq phone (also rooted with CM7) and I get the Error message.

I've tried rooting and installing new radios, restoring the .bin backup from g-free, used the RUU from HTC to update to GB 2.3, even used the return to stock/wifi fix method on another thread, all to no avail.

Do I need to physically replace the wifi/bt module in the phone? Last few times I've tried to fix a hardware error (all screen issues), I've screwed something up (mainly dealing with screwing up a ribbon cable or boffing the connector pins). I'm trying to avoid taking apart another phone only to screw up again.

now i'm running the above ROM and when I record video I get no sound.

my mms doesnt work, but i havent tried setting up new apns yet so no biggie there..

and my battery lasts about 45 mins..yes 45 MINUTES!!!!

what can i do to get audio in my recordings, a better battery life and make my mms work IF APNs don't fix the problem.

Phone Randomly Off

recently my desire z gets off randomly. I did factory reset, did full wipe etc. and also install two different ROMs which I already used them and was sure about their stabilities.

there are two things which make this strange. Firstly, when it is connect it to charger or usb power it works without any issue. On the other hand, when it is on recovery mode (even for 20 minutes) without any connection to powerpoint it works. So I can't say it is because of battery if it was, it could happen even in recovery mode isn't it? :-/
