Hi - i have a uk vodafone tattoo (no contract) which i would like to unlock, meaning that i can use a sim from a different country - i understand this means overcoming the net/CID lock?! - apologies but i'm very new to this so not sure if i'm using the right terminology but basically i would like to use my tattoo with a different sim from a different country.

vodafone have given me a code based on my imei but it didn't work - i double checked with them but apparently it's the correct code.

so, what i have done then is - i gained root access and flashed the modaco tattoo custom rom.

the vodafone branding is gone but the network is still unlocked.

is there a way to get it unlocked? would i flash a different rom? can anyone help? i don't have much knowledge and i'm quite new to this.

also i did search the forum and didn't get the answer i needed but if there is a post that explains it - please direct me instead.

many thanks for your help!

anyone who can help??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] M_T_M:
I can only advise to GOOGLE it. Not being sarcastic by any means.....just trying to help :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] amikima:
believe it or not i did ask google (not trying to be sarcastic either). and as mentioned i already have a code that vodafone provided via htc, which doesn't work, so i posted here as i thought there might be someone in this forum to help.

if there is anyone with helpful advise - it's much appreciated.

cheers,

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] M_T_M:
Ok then....have you called Orange to request the right code? have you followed the proper protocols for unlocking that phone?

I think you were given the wrong code by Orange.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] amikima:
hm. it's vodafone (not organge) - and yes i requested the code. and double checked with them - they said it's the right code. although i agree it apparently is not ;) - after flashing it allowed me 3 new attempts and i have now entered it 4 times so clearly it must be incorrect.

the option is to send it to vodafone but given it's now rooted and flashed i'd rather figure out a way myself to remove the CID/Netlock - but looks like there is no straight way forward..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] orb3000:
Welcome to forums

I would check on ebay or try contact olipro member to buy an unlock code

So I'm gonna venture that this may or may not help with the bootloader unlock? Just like when the 2.1 source was released?

If I remember correctly...Motorola only releases MOST of the code...and small snippets are missing?
[Droid X Android Development] zehkaiser:
Even so, Birdman passed on cracking this nutty phone. I'm not sure who else is working on it, but I haven't heard of any real progress. I hope it's the entire thing for people that like to run custom ROMs.
[Droid X Android Development] cellzealot:
This won't help at all with unlocking the bootloader, and for the time being only unsecured dev phones will be able to load a source built kernel.

So far it looks like they released most of it, certainly enough to build a functioning kernel with. ;)

My office phone has bluetooth for use with pairing with a bluetooth headset.

Is there way way to use the N1 as a bluetooth headset/handset? It would need to be an application which opens up the microphone and speaker when a bluetooth is triggered by my office phone. I'd rather use my N1 than a bluetooth headset.

It seems that whenever I do a search for apps that others find useful, Twitter and Facebook are all the rage.

Seriously, there are "Top Ten Apps" lists out there that will have two or three different Twitter apps listed on them. It drives me insane because I don't care about Twitter and I don't find it productive in the least (just a personal preference matter, no offense to you tweet-aholics out there).

I would like to know social networks and twitter aside, which apps do you find most useful or productive?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DeuXGod:

Zedge (to search for nice wallpapers)

All those, plus the standard Cyanogenmod and Google Apps stuff and a couple that aren't available through the market, like Swype. Thank goodness for DT-A2SD!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nawoa:
Glad to be of service! What kind of phone did you get?

More than anything else, make sure to install Juice Defender. It does simple, completely transparent background power management that should've been built into the OS from the beginning, imho.

Example, if your screen's off, what are the chances you need your power-hungry data connection going? Why not shut it off for 14 minutes out of every 15, and then keep it running until it's no longer being used? Instantly your battery life is greatly extended during times when your phone's in standby.

Or, how about doing the same thing, only keeping it off most of the time a certain application, like a video player, is in the foreground?

Makes sense, right?

No, I'm not affiliated with its developer ;)

[Desire Themes and Apps] Frozen-GPU:
Hi folks,

I used the search function but I don't know how to search for that :p

I was wondering if it is possible to get that colored icon background in standard Sense appdrawer like it is in Galaxy S?

For example: In our Desire with standard Sense appdrawer we have the icon for an app with transparent background, so you only see the icon itself. But I want to have the icon on a colored square matching the colors of the app-icon like in Galaxy S appdrawer.

I like this smooth appearence in appdrawer of Samsung Galaxy S, everything is clean and each icon has the same dimensions.

Is it possible to add this feature to Sense appdrawer?

Thanks in advance! ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] ephumuris:
Maybe if you manually edit each apps apk with the desired background icon...but they would appear like that on homescreen too.

Why not use Touchwiz launcher? It's not too bad...but of course you lose HTC Widgets.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Frozen-GPU:
Touchwiz is very uncomfortable in my opinion... and editing each apk is a LOT of work!

I guess it is only a small fragment of code which places a background behind the icons in Touchwiz, but what exactly is it?

Maybe I have some time to develop something own next weekend :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] EleCtrOx666:
MIUI does it, but that's a whole rom(no apart launcher).
[Desire HD General] RustyWrightOne:
Hello all.

This is my 1st post on here.

I have received my DHD and the battery cover doesn't seem flush from the front. So much so that when trying to find the volume buttons by touch I always press the battery cover instead.

Is anyone else's like this. Wonder if I should get it exchanged.

Many thanks.
[Desire HD General] hawrai68:
Same here, I feel as though it needs to be pushed down more..even though it seems secure. There does seem to be a very slight raised lip.
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
I feel that my battery cover is secured really well. It's solid as a rock and requires quite a bit of effort to remove.

I do wish the volume buttons were more distinct (i.e. separate or at least with a feelable division between up and down) and stuck out a bit more.
[Desire HD General] lurkindoc:
how do you take the battery out of the phone ? mine seams like its stuck in lol
[Desire HD General] Basil3:
I also find the volume buttons quite hard to feel, especially through the silicone case my phone is in.

I've ended up putting a volume widget on my home screen, as I'm only ever toggling between volume on and silent anyway.
[Desire HD General] RustyWrightOne:
OK. Thanks for your help.

Looks like I'll have to put up with it.
[Desire HD General] dmh2010:
When I got my DHD and went to remove the plastic slip from the battery, I noticed that the battery compartment cover was not flush with the alumiium chassis. So much so, that it was a nightmare taking it off. After exerting a little more force than I'd have liked, I got it to pop off by sliding a fingernail up along the volume switch.

When it came to putting it back on, I noticed there is some "give" at the two narrow sides of the cover - it is possible to get it flush by trial and error. I was surprised that was the case but there ya go, it can be done.
[Desire HD General] combat goofwing:
i nearly returned a phone cause of this but if you remove it make sure the back is slid into place, and push down on both sides of the volume rocker at the same time it will fit flush mine was like yours took me 3 attempts to fit it
[Desire HD General] DYStN:
Exactly the same problem.

Should I get it replaced?
[Desire HD General] sengork:
Both DHD covers are dodgy in my experience. Once you get them to fit, don't touch them. Both covers feel as if they'd suffer very easily from mechanical wear and tear.

It seems to me HTC have multiple versions of the covers with slightly different shapes. My SIM cover has a small piece of plastic/gum glued onto it to level its height towards the SD card area. I suspect a dodgy manufacturing batch which they augmented rather than ditched for a new one.

I'm yet to see a perfect fit of the covers.
[Desire HD General] ennx:
The covers fit perfectly. The problem is getting them in right. Once they're in they're perfect.

There is no best ROM, it's subjective. Find one you like the look of and give it a go, don't like it, try another. :)

has links to all the roms (and descriptions of some of the features) and you can suss out which one you like the look of best.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
If you want sense you should either go for a SenseHD rom, or a MoDaCo one.

If you want stock Android, I would recommend CyanogenMod!

You know you don't need to download and flash roms solely through ROM Manager?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
My advice is just to look at the ROM forum and download the one with the most hits, it's popular for a reason. There are really only two different types of ROM, Sense and the stock Android bundled usually with ADW.Launcher. It's not like WM where there are a plethora of different mods and registry changes, at least not in my limited experience.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonarmy85:
I agree just neva been this spoilt for choice
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonarmy85:
Was gonna use defrost Rom but it says I need to download radio update there's also two 1133 kernels do I download both or just one
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
have you updated to Froyo yet? As far as I know, they are just 2.2 Froyo radios. So if you have updated to 2.2 chances are you don't need to update. (Double check with the radio thing, I am an Android newbie as well so I am not 100% sure.)

As for the kernel, as far as I know you don't need to update this either.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llb3nd4:
For Sense roms I strongly suggest LeeDroid, and Desire HD roms I'd go for RCMixHD (Camera still not working yet, but it should be fixed soon), non Sense roms, go for OpenDesire, Cyanogen or MIUI
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fllash:
Agreed, if you want to try something refreshingly different, try MIUI.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonarmy85:
Still ain't a clue which one to try lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llb3nd4:
well try Leedroid first, then MIUI for non-sense, and see if you are attracted to sense or not :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
Also try CyanogenMod or OpenDesire to see if you like Stock Android.

There is no harm in trying different roms and switching if you want!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonarmy85:
I've used cm 6 before Ive not flashed roms without using Rom manager and leeroid isn't available through that there's only a small section like cm, defrost nd others
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llb3nd4:
IT's not too hard :)

1. Download Leedroid rom from their minisite's dropbox folder.

2. copy file onto your sd card

3. reboot into recovery

Important part!!

DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!

i. select backup/restore

ii. select backup and let it rip :)

iii. return to menu

4. select flash .zip

5. find the leedroid rom & select it

[TOOL] Flash_Patch v1 "The easiest Way to Port a ROM" UPDATED 10/21 With AOSP Version

Credits: IncDoes, myself.

This is the first stage of flash-patch development, this will be used to get the ports done on the Evo/Nexus over to the Inc in an easy suitable way that fits us all. No more rebuilding or packing a whole new zip

I will be updating the patch as we get more fixes.

What the patch does:

- flashes Inc system files replacing the Evo/Nexus system files

- flashes Inc boot.img replacing Evo/Nexus boot.img

THIS PaTCH NOW SUPPORTS PORTING OF N1 ROMS, TOO!!!

Download:

(SENSE): http://bit.ly/asxO8s

(VANILLA): http://bit.ly/aC9bSr

(ENOMTHER'S THENEXUSONE): http://bit.ly/ajrWsn

How to install:

- download flash-patch (posted above)

- download an Evo/Nexus ROM

- full wipe required

- flash the Evo/Nexus ROM but DO NOT REBOOT after install

- flash the patch over the Evo ROM

- now reboot

CHANGELOG:

v1 Sense/Vanilla/Enom- Initial Release

v1.5 Sense- Install Script deletes kernel modules before reboot
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdkoreclipse:
this patch was designed to work on any rom from the nexus or evo>>>any other rom will be unsupported!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ACD168:
cool idea guys
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdkoreclipse:
thank ID for the idea
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chrisloveskaos:
this is sick.

going to try this tonight
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdkoreclipse:
Right now, it was only tested on EVO Sense ROMs, just to let you know...i should have a working version for Vanilla roms later or tomorrow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
Yeah, I remember ID talking about this yesterday. Cool idea. I guess, but why would you want a evo sense rom? Anything that's been done for the ego has been done for the dinc, no?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chrisloveskaos:
i want to try virus's work here its sense so should be a go..

and one other thing ..what about themes? will his themes work ?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickkxNekro:
Themes would be able to work, yes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdkoreclipse:
They have their own roms (ava froyo, virusrom, nosenseevo just to name a few)

I am also working on one that will port from the nexus
[Droid Incredible Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
rom kitchen does this, but does it even better. using this may cause issues if your replacing the whole boot image. if you want to make it better, include a kernel and use koushs any kernel flasher. some roms have rom specific data in the ramdisk that if you remove it, can cause issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdkoreclipse:
This is a WIP...i will concider what you said, and will add some elements from the kitchen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdkoreclipse:
the AOSP porting tool looking good as well!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheIncredibleJ:
Glad to see your working hard to contribute real things to community. Keep it up man.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ToyTank:
This could be cool. I'm not a dev though.

Is this what ported CM6 Night97 Into Blackhawkmod?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] IncredibleDoes:
ROM kitchen is a little different, my way makes corrections and fixes, no major issues will be caused using my method.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdkoreclipse:
No that was before I knew to do this method.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Rahshaka:
The Nexus porting tool sounds pretty sweet. Good work and thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdkoreclipse:
Your welcome :) if all goes well, it should be out tomorrow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdkoreclipse:
Just an status update....while vanilla patch is working fine, one Rom doesn't work...ENOM's the nexus one doesn't work...so I gotta make the patch compatible with the ENOM rom
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Bump...updated with tool that will port from the nexus/any Vanilla rom, also updated update-scripts in sense version along with adding a version specificslly for Enomther's Nexus ROm.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] IncredibleDoes:
I don't like the fact that your asking for donations using my flashpatch. Also in the OP what does "credits: incdoes, myself" mean... I did this patch and you claiming credits to yourself is stealing in my eyes. Copy and paste is what you did.

I don't want to bash or start anything, I am releasing this flashpatch for INC soon with details, and issues about this patch.

I just want to get things clear!?

Edit: I'm just feeling a little discredited...

I had seen your tweets on this but was wondering why you weren't the one releasing it.

jdkoreclipse, this thread has done nothing good to help your reputation. I'm not sure what to even say to you at this point, with this and the Blackhawk (CM6) crapola!

EDIT: LOL!!! You even named the file with YOUR nick and not IncDoes'??? jdkoreclipse you should MAN UP and change the title of this to MODS PLEASE CLOSE and remove the OP info!!!! ID can release his OWN patch thread!

Okay, so I have a samsung vibrant which I am loving but the phone was aquired in a trade. Is there a way that I can transfer the imei on my vibramt to my sim card ? Or is that just redundant?
[Vibrant General] justwonder:
imei is unique number for each phone, why you want to do that?
[Vibrant General] mr2t32:
it's automatic. Once you use the phone, the imie will show up when they pull up your number. The only thing is that you need to use it for at least a few month before the provider will be welling to do anything for you. When i had the Mytouch last year, that i got from a trade, I called in to try and get it unlocked, and they wouldn't do it because it showed up on their system that I only used it a few weeks. If you have t-mobile, you can actually login to your online accunt and it'll show you the current phone that you're using.
