So.. finally i decided, its about time.. I got sick of low disk space issue and went ahead to root my phone and decided to go with Froyo. So far, I am absolutely loving it.. Even nicer UI, smoother and faster performance..

Here is a very simple guide on the process in case anyone is interested.. ( i should mention here that although i m pretty good with Windows as an amateur, i have NO experience with Linux at all. I was using Windows 7 and i believe it should not be any different for Win XP or Win Vista. Also, i have never rooted any phone before)..

PS: please change all hxxp with http..

1.

Root your phone

using Unrevoked recovery installer: Follow the steps in this guide:

hxxp://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7449486&postcount=1

U only have to go as far as it says "Congratulations, your phone is now rooted and has ClockworkMod recovery installed."..

Or u can use this guide here:

hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788737

2. Then i made multiple

backups

of my phone using lookout, Astro, Gphone manager, Sprite backup and of course nandroid.. No u do not have to do all of these, probably nandroid is most important one but i just wanted to be ready as much as i could in case any thing didnt work too well!! I also copied the entire contents of my sd card to my pc..

I also noted down the names of all the apps that i was using on stock rom..

To make a nandroid backup, power off ur phone, press volume down button and keep holding it and press power on button. Use volume up/down key to go to "recovery" and use power button to select. Then go to nandroid and press power to select.. From there it is simple to make a backup..

3. Next step is to

wipe data/factory reset

: Again, power off ur phone, press volume down button and keep holding it and press power on button. Use volume up/down key to go to "recovery" and use power button to select. Now select "wipe data/factory reset" and confirm..

4.

Download the RO

M that u want to install, liberated froyo in my case, u can download it from this thread..

hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819715

U can also use liberated Aria rom 2.1 (download from hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=708434) or cyanogen rom (download from hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=737213])

5.

Copy

ur downloaded rom to ur sd card..

6. Again, power off ur phone, press volume down button and keep holding it and press power on button. Use volume up/down key to go to "recovery" and use power button to select. Select the zip file of the rom that u downloaded..

7. Sit back and relax till the phone is up n ready again.. Remember, first boot will take some time just like it did when u first started it after buying..

To Enable A2SD

:

Backup your applications

Backup your sdcard

Partition your sdcard with ROM Manager with an ext partition option. (ROM manager is in Market)

This should start a special mode of clockwork recovery, which will partition the sdcard.

All credits to the work of original developers and writers. I only put it together in words..
[HTC Aria Android Development] lhinsz:
Thank You!! Why this ROM?

First of all: Thank You for a very concise easy to understand guide!!! :) I am also a Linux and an Android rooting newbie, but quite good with Win7... So, my question is what made you choose the liberated instead of one of the others (including the new leaked "Gratia" ROM) i.e. which features, etc. made you choose this one??

I'm trying to decide which way to go with my Aria 2.1..... and the more I read and research, the more trouble I'm having making a choice!!

Thanks again for a concise, clear, and to the point guide - special thanks for all the work giving out the links to each step!!! :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
I only made it to the third paragraph before I stopped reading. I'd suggest using real words if you want to be taken seriously.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mrdoc151:
well i think Gratia is the same as froyo if i m not mistaken. Why i chose it? well as i mentioned in my post, i was sick of low disk space issue and i knew that 2.2 allows apps2sd. Also, it allows loading 3rd party apps (although this was not a big issue for me as i was using sideloading wonder machine with no problems).

I just like to try the latests version anyway..
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
You need to include a step that says "If upgrading to Cyanogen, Be sure to move all of your contacts data off of your SIM card and onto your phone, then sync them with Google BEFORE doing anything else!"

I lost ALL of my contacts because the current stable version and the new CM6-RC1 pre-release version do not read the SIM card, hence no contacts!

[HTC Aria Android Development] Plasmamuffins:
I just exported all my contacts synced with google and fb to my sd card, now I can flash cm6 and they'll be there right?
[HTC Aria Android Development] nairb1:
I just ran unrevoked to root/install clockwork recovery, I'm using Windows 7 (and yes, i installed the drivers). I wiped/data, cache, dalvik cache, then tried to install liberated_aria_FR006_signed.zip from my sdcard in clockwork recovery. I get the following error every time:

E: Can't chown/mod /system/etc/init.d (no such file or directory)

E: Failure at line 10: set_perm_recursive 0 0 0777 0777

System:etc/init.d

Installation aborted.

Any ideas?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Plasmamuffins:
Did you have it plugged in while installing?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
Unplug the USB cable before you reboot into ClockworkMod.
[HTC Aria Android Development] nairb1:
thanks guys, i got it
[HTC Aria Android Development] rjadams5000:
I know there are several ways to back up your apps, but what is the best way? (By best, I mean the easiest.) It's a pain to re-set up my phone after installing a new ROM.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Anthony1s:
I don't see how this is any more helpful than the threads already posted. If anything, this is the least comprehensive guide I've seen. Don't get me wrong, I do believe your intentions were good, but this may cause more confusion than help. Next time, at least post the one link that'll provide first-timers with immediate answers.

[HD Mini General] NitroNitrous:
After the recent time change, my clock is ****ed up. Every time I restart the phone, it adds 1 hour. So, if it's 13:00 and I restart the phone 4 times, it says 17:00. It only happens when the phone service is activated. Ideas? :confused:
[HD Mini General] Soulwar:
I have similar problem. The phone adds an hour or two randomly, and resets it self to correct time randomly.

Using the latest offical ROM from HTC.

The timestamps on SMS will also get the incorrect time if the time is wrong.

Is it possible to turn off any automatic time adjustments?

/J
[HD Mini General] NitroNitrous:
Yes, check this out. I did it and now the time is right, so I guess is something wrong with my service provider :confused:
[HD Mini General] Urosh:
I don't find the menus described in the linked page.

I have the same problem.

Any solutions?

Thnx

UB
[HD Mini General] NitroNitrous:
Well they're slightly different because of the HTC Sense and the Windows version, but in the Mini the steps are:

Settings/Menu/All Settings\Personal\Phone\GSM/UMTS Services and then scroll down and you'll see "Time Synchronization". Tap there and then "Get Settings". :)
[HD Mini General] sunbeam:
awesome, thank you. i started to freak out :)
[HD Mini General] NitroNitrous:
No prob, but I consider this a temporal solution, since I'm interested in having automatic time when I travel :(
[HD Mini General] Soulwar:
I can report my clock worked fine after your tip.

Thanks

Same Issue HD2

I have the same issue on a HD2 (with Dutty Fam v5 ROM). I'm in the CET timezone (Amsterdam) with DST (occurred last weekend).

It even occurs when I turned off the Network Identity and Time Zone(NITZ). After a soft-reset an hour is added just after Sense is loaded completely.

I can get the right time back by:

1. changing the timezone

2. go back to a city in my own timezone

3. go back to my location

I turned of Sense and resstarted the phone again. Now it doesn't add an hour, so I think it has to be something in HTC Sense location service.

I switch back on the Network Identity and Time Zone(NITZ), and it directly an hour is added.

Now I'm confused.... So my provider (Vodafone NL) is also an Issue.
[HD Mini General] hitman_05:
Time

Thanks it's working now.
[HD Mini General] NitroNitrous:
Wow that must be a weird bug in some HTC Phones then... I think we should contact HTC and inform them about it or something :confused:
[HD Mini General] mll2:
FWIW, I don't use sense and I have the time shift problem too. Just unchecked the "Time Synchronization" setting... we'll see...
[HD Mini General] falchetto65:
Me too, I've unchecked the "time syncronization" and since now it's working fine.
[HD Mini General] naya28:

[HD Mini General] NitroNitrous:
I just hard-reseted my HD Mini and the problem is still there :mad: So no automatic time change anymore :mad:
[HD Mini General] Bla Blasen:
Could it be a Vodafone NL thing ?

I live in Denmark, has a HTC HD Mini, and did never before have problems with wrong adjustment of time.

Nore here in Denmark, England - and also Holland before summer.

Last week I was in Holland again, where the clock went craisy :mad:

It just keep adding 1,2,3 and 4 hours to my time. Without any reset or any thing else.

Removed the aut. time adjustment, as described above, whereafter the time was correct for the remaing time in Holland.

When I returned to Denmark, I activated the aut. timezone adjustment again.

After one day, the phone did a one hour adjustement.

A week after, the time is still correct.

ONLY in holland the timezone adjustment went craisy ?
[HD Mini General] Hso3f:
You can get correct automatic time change by: settings tab => Data services => Time synchronisation.

Not sure of the english menu name in french it's: services de données => synchronisation de l'heure.

Sorry for my english,

Regards,

Hso3f
[HD Mini General] NitroNitrous:
Does it work using 3G? Because I have no fixed plan with my provider so I'd have to pay for the connection :mad:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svantesson666:
Hi I updated my SGS from Eclair to what I thought was the latest Froyo firmware. It turned that I had updated it to JP2. Now really nothing works anymore. Not even 3G.

My phone is not branded it any way but since Samsung turned off the update to JP6 I can't update using Kies. So I need to make the update using Odin or being able to get it to accept 2e files so I can install Clockwork Mod. Thing is I have no clue how to make it run 2e files. I did root it but that didn't work so obvious there is something else I need to do.

I guess my JP2 version is the stock JP2, and I would like to update it to stock JP6 or Tayutama's custom mod.

Is there something I need to do before I try updating my phone to JP6, or would it work to simply load the .tar file in Odin using the 803.pit file and re-partion and click "Start"?

PDA: I90000XXJP2

PHONE: I90000XXJP2

CSC: I90000XXJP2

Build Info: 2010.07

TIA

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
Eh. Best way is downgrade to jm8 using the 512 pit file and set it to re partition. Once that's done install jp6 with 803 pit but do not use re partition. It will take too long to explain why you need to downgrade. But if you want to save time then try this method. Install jp6 as normal with 803 pit and don't re partition but this method isn't safe

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
I hope you made a backup first.

The way i do flash jpm or jp6 is safe and simple.

First you need a clean system.

I do this with jpk. Using pit 512 and with re-partition.

Then flash with odin.

Then i let the phone boot up.

I then format the internal sdcard.

Then i reboot in recovery mood.

There do i wipe the catch and do a factory reset.

Now is the phone almost clean.

Next i flash jpm or jp6. Use no pit file and do NOT re-partition.

People that tell you to use pit file here don't know what they are talking about.

Flash now with odin.

Start the phone and let it boot up.

Format the internal sdcard again and restart the phone in recovery again. Wipe the catch and do a factory reset. Restart the phone.

Now you got a working phone with latest froyo.:-P

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svantesson666:
OK and by backup you mean backup of contacts, photos, sms's and so on? And a clean system is a system that has just been factory resetted, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
No. I mean a real backup. The efs folder is very important. There you have you personal code for the phone.

The rest of the backup is just good to have.

A clean system need more than a factory reset. If you do the steep i wrote it will be clean.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svantesson666:
Hmmm it didn't work as my phone is 3e and doesn't run update.zip. I know you have to reflash your Kernel to make it support update.zip files I just don't know how to do it. Man I'm rubbish when it comes to Android phones! haha

Hmmm you don't need to patch any kernel man.. Hope your phone is rooted :) the backup thing works with most of my friends' phones.. What is a 3e..? Just curious .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svantesson666:
No I can't run update.zip as my phone doesn't support unsigned files in recovery mode. In recovery mode it says 3e at the post instead of 2e as it said when there was Eclair 2.1 on it.

My phone is rooted but even so I can't get it to actually create the backup. All things before that went smooth though. Superuser gave Nandroid root access and everything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Go to the z4mod tread and download jp6 kernel and flash it with odin.

Then you got a recovery that works with update script.

Is it this kernel, by RyanZA, I should flash onto my SGS? - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8645069&postcount=162

If so should I simply apply this in Odin as PDA leaving everything else as default, put my phone in download mode and press start even though I don't run JP6 but JP2?

And after the update is done, then flash PHONE and CSC from JP6 using 803.pit leaving Re-Partion unchecked and click start?

Or should I apply the z4mod.ext2.update.zip from here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797672 - first in recovery mode and then flash PHONE and CSC?

Or should I actually flash ALL three files, PDA, PHONE and CSC?

I must say I really appreciate all the help guys and I'm sorry if I'm abit slow, but smartphones are really a new area for me and I know nothing about Linux for that matter.

I was able to do a update using Kies earlier today by downloading the last version and then hack to registry to tell it that it was the latest version and then do the normal registry hack for Kies. I was abit surprised that it didn't actually updated it to JP6 but JPA instead. I mean my phone is a standard nordic phone so it ought to have uploaded it to JP6. But everything works like a charm now...........after a reboot couse right after the update when the phone was to reboot screen was all black the phone was vibrating on and off. But after I formated the internal SD and wiped the cache everything was good.

Thanks for all the help guys. Much, much appreciated!

Jp6 is older then jpa and jpa/jpo is the official froyo firmware.

[Windows Phone 7 General] harsaphes:
Hey guys...Just wondering if Google Sync will work with our WP7 devices. I know it worked for Windows Mobile. Ideas?

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] at45:
Pulling two bits of information together, WP7 supports Exchange Activesync, and Google's support for Exchange Activesync is published here:

http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=139652

...which amounts to a "yes", although from memory I thought that they only supported Calendar sync for WP7. Still, I could have remembered wrong or they may have improved things... or I might be right. (I only read it last week.)

You emails will of course sync via the standard mail protocols (I assume).
[Windows Phone 7 General] harsaphes:
I mainly concerned with getting all my Google contacts.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scottisafool:
If you configure your Google account as an Outlook account in WP7, then it will pull your emails, contacts, tasks and calendar (or your choice of those four) onto your phone really easily.

Not tasks. There is no concept of "tasks" in WP7.

I want to sync tasks with Google. I am unable to find that option.. Please help...Thank you
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
tasks in general are not supported natively. you have to find an application to do it. i have seen an article a few days back on it, but i can't seem to dig it up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nehvada:
there is no need to set it up like that. simply setup google as google and just whatever you choose will be synced. you can check several option after setup when you tap on that account.

Just installed the new GOT 2.2.1 firmware on my milestone and the CM6 rom

Now we have flash on our milestone...but the thing is whenever I try to watch some live stream the browser or the app (TV flash) closes..

Is it running out of RAM?

Just to mention I'm overclocked at 800mhz with 54 vsel... Tried at 1ghz with 60 vsel and at 800mhz with 56 vsel... Same result..

What could be the problem guys?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
It's a number of problems. One could be yes, it's out of ram. The second one I can think of is your clocks/voltage settings are a little aggressive, though they don't seen to be (1ghz at 60 should be okay for most phones). An expert has to look into this though. I know if your voltage is too low for your clock, applications randomly crash (like Rockplayer). Try bringing it up a bit as an experiment.

Mine crashes 2.2.1-CM6 crashes as well, but it doesn't do it as often as it used to in 2.2.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] vladstercr:
Tried 800mhz with 68 vsel and still crashed...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
There's nothing we can do then. Stock 2.2.1 with GOT's edits seem to avoid the better than CM6.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] vladstercr:
so it doesnt crash with only the GOT 2.2.1 stock?

can watch live streams well with it?
