[Wildfire General] SPACEMANJASON:
Hi there people,

GPS! It works great with the stock rom like everything else but I want Apps2SD, Live Wallpapers, Overclocking and Higher Res so what shall we do?

I've tried the custom roms available, Touch screen didn't work on CM, Puzzle's GPS is way off so makes some of androids greatest features useless.

I see so many satisfied people out there, please advise me...

I need GPS to work and I would like Apps2SD and overclocking... I feel like I'm missing out a little.

So anyone else on the same page as me? Any advise from others? Thanks!
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
try cyanogenmod, only problem i have so far is some apps layout aren't proper, like the default phone dialer, but there are alternatives.
[Wildfire General] jcsww:
I'm interested in the feedback here as well. All of the modded ROM's are way off what I'd like my Wildfire to be.
[Wildfire General] Endless Dark:
i agree kevin2516, try cyanogenmod, i tried the wildpuzzle and openfire before but had only problems with gps and show me the wrong position. it was always 10-15m away from my real position but with cyanogenmod it work properly. only the first fix for your position takes about 1-2 Minuten, but only the first time.
[Wildfire General] a1exander:
But Jacob have fixed the layouts! Will be in next release.
[Wildfire General] imlgl:
Try flashing the V4 kernal when you flashing CM on that should fix the touchscreen problems.
[Wildfire General] SPACEMANJASON:
Hi thanks for all responses. I tried CM and got it working, I was impressed at first but the real test was everyday usage. I love listening to mp3s and browsing web at the same time, unfortunately the performance went stupid when trying to multitask, listening to mp3s and playing with the phone was no where near fast enough, infact terrible and crashing.

I did already set the cpu to a good range. I ended up going back to stock rom, which is just as good as I need. If there was a way to get stock rom onto Apps to ext and overclocked it would be cool.

Peace

Hey everybody,

just wanted to show you one of my apps.

"App Update Notifier" checks all your installed apps for updates via android-market-api. It also includes an optional background service which checks in a configurable interval for new updates and notifies you if any updates are available.

Also includes a Blacklist to exclude some apps from being checked.

There is a free (ad-supported) version as well as a (ad-free) donate version in the market. See qr codes in the attachements.

Give it a try and leave me comments :)

Dear Guy!

After Leo can experience a lot of Andriod builds, I tried to find some useful softwares like on WM.

A lot of Android software do much better than WM, however, I miss some software like G-Trigger on WM.

The information of software is here:

and

http://g-trigger.kneps.com/

Does any one know the other software that can do a incredible thing like this?

It is my 1st priority software that I have to install every times I flashed my WM phone.

Please suggest me, if you know which software can do.

Thanks in advance.

[Desire General] odyseus:
Hi All,

I've decided to sell my HTC desire in favour of getting a Desire HD (For me a bigger screen is worth the extra cost).

Anyway, I currently have a rooted unbranded & unlocked Desire from 3 (Their first batch were factory unbranded,unlocked etc). I currently run LeeDroid 2.2e.

My question is should I install a WWE ROM to bring back to stock and un-root OR

should I leave it rooted and maybe use one of the "stock" un-rooted ROM's??

If I left it rooted with a stock rom I assume that the new owner would be able to update OTA in the future (of course losing the rooting).

So should I revert back to factory unrooted? By installing this ROM...

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe)

Would the latest WWE ROM work with all UK networks including Orange?

All the best

John
[Desire General] toyface:
Hi John

I'd definitely restore it back to stock, for the simple reason that the phone is quite popular and more people will think "HTC Desire with 5.0 MP camera and 3.7" screen" than "HTC Desire with custom recovery ready to flash whatever".

I sold my old iPhone 3GS before I moved into the far more fun of Android, I had it jailbroken but I sold it as stock and unlocked by o2.

Teppic74 a brilliant user here has a downgrade utility that will completely put it back to stock 2.1, and then you can update to froyo 2.2 from that.

EDIT: Link below

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=768256
[Desire General] odyseus:
Cheers for the advice. I'll go for the Froyo replacement, which should unroot the phone at the same time? Like you I used to have a 3GS, I have to say I think I prefered it but was frustrated waiting for Apple updates to fix anything. I'd love a iphone4 but I would much rather have the Desire HD with bigger screen+better camera etc

All the best

John
[Desire General] toyface:
If you sell it as stock there less likely to come back to you if something goes wrong, but if you sell it rooted or whatever then they'll come to you for every little niggle, because they KNOW you've done something.

I've had all the iPhone models save the 4 and honestly I don't miss iOS, it's slow and closed off, I'm having much more fun on Android, rooting and theming it! So much more fun!
[HD7 General] scoob101:
I`ve had my HD7 for a couple of days and its all working nicely with Hotmail email, Contacts from Windows live (hotmail) and google calendar. One thing I beleive the HD7 will do is work with PUSH notifications on all these accounts, via exchange activesync.

I`ve set these accounts up on the phone, but I get the impression these accounts are not actually Push activated. The accounts say "download new items every hour"

I have changed this, so that it now says "As items arrive".

Does that activate push automatically, or are there other settings to change?

Thanks!!
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
that's all you need to do as long as your phone has signal the notifications will pop up as things arrive

Hi,

I live in the UAE and bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab here. It doesn have the Android Market installed and shows an error. I am not able to install popular applications like Tango etc because there is no android market. I have SlideME, but its useless with no cool apps.

Please advice.

So, you wanna root?

Rooting is not easy like some people make it out to be. All these 1 click Noob-Proof tools can actually go wrong. And they do.

But lets get this clear, IT'S

ALMOST

impossible to brick. I'd put the odds on about a 99.9% chance you will not brick beyond repair. However, things probably will go wrong, which is why you will need to follow the instructions very carefully.

Pre-Root Info

I want to make sure the rooting process goes well for as many as you as possible, so get ready to read lots of information that will turn you from a Noob into a lean, mean rooting machine.

And for those of you who like to slack off and think "I cba to read all that crap", I've made it so you have to answer a question to get the download links. Aren't I nice. :) Seriously though, it really will be a lot easier for you if you read all of this, you will thank me for it one day. :D

Pro users who know what HBOOT is, how to flash a ROM and can use ADB can safely skip this step :)

Android Glossary

This page is probably the most valuble bit of information you will ever need during your rooted life. Behold, the VillainROM Android Glossary. (Cheers Pulser :D)

http://bit.ly/9HtICk

Read it. Read it ALL. No questions asking for these terms will be tolerated in this thread and you will be teased so much you will want to die. So please, read it carefully.

Downloads

Now, for the bit you've been dreading. 2 downloads. 2 questions. One answer will link you to the download. The other two will link you to a humorous fail picture. (And for all you sneaky cheaters out there, I've bit.ly'd the links. Take that.)

Question 1 - UnrEVOked download

What do you use to flash a ROM?

A) UnrEVOked

B) ADB

C) Recovery

Question 2 - Other Stuff Download (We may ask you to use this on the help channel)

What is a RUU?

A) A tool to root your phone

B) A tool to return your phone to 'stock' (unroot)

C) A tool to flash a ROM

You can also get countless lulz from adding a + to the end of those links and comparing the wrong answers to the correct ones. Yes people really don't read the information. :D

OK, I've talked enough now, let's get down to business...
[Wildfire Android Development] 42turkeys:
So, hopefully you now know all the terms, which makes my life a lot easier as I don't have to explain everything. Let's begin.

Root Guide - Pt. 2 - UnrEVOked

1) Ensure you have downloaded and extracted the first download in the above post to somewhere you can remember and access easily. For the purpose of this guide, I will refer to that folder as the 'Root Pack'.

Next, we are going to prepare the UnrEVOked program to run. If you are a Windows user, this means installing the drivers, if you use Linux or Mac you just have to run the app as mentioned later. We have to install HTC Sync to get adb drivers and we have to uninstall it again as it interferes with UnrEVOked. The drivers however remain which is why you need to install it.

2) (Windows Only) If you have not already, download HTC Sync and install it. Then uninstall HTC Sync as well as any other software that may interfere such as doubletwist. Next, follow this guide to set up the hacked HBOOT drivers. Make sure you reboot your PC after doing this.

Next, we need to prepare your phone. We will make sure USB Debugging is on as UnrEVOked needs this to send adb commands to the phone. We also need to enable Unknown Sources so that UnrEVOked can push busybox and SuperUser Permissions apps to the phone.

3) With your phone go to Settings > Connect to PC > Default connection type > Charge Only and untick Ask Me. Then go to Settings > Applications > Development > Make sure USB Debugging is ticked. Then go back to Applications and make sure Unknown Sources is ticked.

Next, we're going to run UnrEVOked. What it does is reboot into HBOOT mode, and use an exploit to gain a temporary NAND unlock. Then it uses fastboot to flash a recovery image, and then pushes the su files required for root.

4) WINDOWS USERS: Right click on the 'unrevoked.exe' file (Or something similar) in the Root Pack and click 'Run as Admin' (Not required for XP)

LINUX USERS: Right click the 'ClickHereToRoot.sh' file and UnrEVOked will start. (Make sure you chmod 755'd it first)

MAC USERS:

GETTING A MISC RELATED ERROR? See post eight.

Your phone should now reboot and then congratulations! Your phone is rooted. However, the root that UnrEVOked gives you is basic. No ROMs or good stuff. So you must read on to the next post to flash a custom ROM...
[Wildfire Android Development] 42turkeys:
Pt. 4 - Flashing a New Radio

Flashing a Radio

The radio is the lowest part of your phone. (ie It's the very first thing that loads when you turn your phone on.

Most ROMs will have a required radio version, but most will agree that it's best to be on the latest as they often improve battery life etc.

You can downgrade your radio and you can find your radio version by going to Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Baseband Version.

Your ROM should tell you on it's thread what the recommended radio version is, so download it, transfer it to the root of your SD card as you did in Pt. 3 then follow this.

Now we're going to reboot into recovery mode as we did in Pt. 3 to flash the new radio. There is also an app on the market called 'Quick Boot' which you can use to quickly get into recovery. The next step will assume you have this.

1) Open Quick Bootand tap Recovery then tap Allow on the SuperUser permissions prompt.

Note: The SuperUser Permissions app will prompt you whenever an app is requesting to use root. You should look over which app is requesting this before you allow it.

Next, we need to flash the radio. You do this exactly the same way as you flash a ROM, which you did in Pt. 3.

2) Use the same method you flashed the new ROM in Pt. 3 to flash the radio. You do not need to Nandroid backup or wipe to do this, just flash the zip.

Note: Your phone may reboot a couple of times and will show a picture of the Android Robot while it is flashing the radio. It has NOT crashed, it is flashing it. DO NOT pull the battery, it will reboot when it is done.

Your new radio has now flashed!
[Wildfire Android Development] 42turkeys:
A2SD

Note: It has come to my attention that doing this with ROM Manager doesn't work most of the time. If you have problems please partition your card another way. (I recommend GParted - There is a Live CD if you don't have Linux)

First, we need to partition your SD card with ROM Manager. This will wipe all the data on your SD card so please backup before continuing.

1) Open ROM Manager (Download it from the Market if you don't have it - Although you will need the Market Mod to show all apps) and press Menu > Manually Override Recovery **Not sure exactly what it says, pls could someone help me out here** Then scroll down to Partition SD Card. Choose the ext size you want for your apps to be installed on, then tap 0 for swap size, then tap OK to reboot into recovery and start partitioning!

Note: While it's partitioning it will show a picture of an Android. You can press (Power?) to see what it's actually doing and if there's any errors.

Now, you need to check the ROM thread for info. Most ROMs activate it automatically when it detects an ext partition on your phone. On some others you need to flash a special update.zip. If you are unsure hit the help button on post 1 and we'll help you out.

Congratulations, you now have Apps2SD! Exactly what you will have (dalvik2sd etc) will vary between ROMs.
[Wildfire Android Development] 42turkeys:
Unroot

These RUU programs that you use to unroot are Windows only, but fortunatley I wrote a tool for Linux called OpenRUU so you can flash them on there. If you are a Mac user, take a moment to ask yourself 'Why am I using a Steve Jobs product?' as there is no way for you to run the RUUs.

First, we are going to identify what RUU you need to download and flash then download it. (Bravo is the codename for Desire, all RUUs use this name)

1) Go to shipped-roms.com, click on the Android Robot then click on Buzz. Now, you need to recall what version of Android you were on before you rooted. If you had a carrier supplied device you should also get the one that is applicable, but if you are unsure or your carrier is not listed go for one that says WWE. (World Wide English - All Languages) Or come on our IRC channel for advice.

Note: HTC Sync must be installed before continuing. The next step will also wipe all your apps + settings!

Next we're going to run the RUU, this should take around 5-10mins. DO NOT touch your phone during the flashing process!

2) Double click on the RUU file you downloaded in step 1, read the readme, and click to start the flashing process.

After it's done! Your phone now should be completley back to stock status!

If you get an error during the flashing process, try again and then come on our IRC help channel for assistance if it persists.

Fixing the Annoying unrEVOked Backup CID Missing errors

NEW, EASY METHOD

I managed to find unrEVOked 3.2. If you want to use that as a fast-track then that's fine, but please read the following carefully:

[B]DISCLAIMER:[/B]
Please be aware that this build was pulled from unrevoked.com because it was not safe.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
If it ****s up and you point the finger at me, I will laugh at you.
This is only for 'Backup CID Missing' errors. if you use this on any other type of misc error it might brick.

Download. Run in replace of unrEVOked 3.21 in the standard guide.

You can still use the old, misc editing guide below:
