Yes and No!

After seeing WP7 in use and trying android on my HD I have decided that there only is one real choice and that is Android on my next phone!

If you want to check out android without the commitment of buying a new phone then trying it on your HD is a great way. BUT it was not designed for our phones so yea no camera and bad battery etc are part of the package. If you like it then smash your piggy bank and buy a android phone! some good deals can had if you dont mind a used phone or dont need an unlocked phone.
[Touch HD General] casefan7:
When you have 'free' internet access, android is a MUST, I'll never go back to winmo

when I really need the camera I just restart my phone into winmo, take a picture/movie and then boot android ;)

Without internet (3g internet) I don't know if it's worth it though...
[Touch HD General] Dodo-tje:
I agree! I was amazed by the google navigator app but this is useless without internet. As a matter of fact, this is allready useless when you pass the border of your country as internet fees rise sky high when outside your country!
[Touch HD General] unionjaks:
I am not sure what you mean by not having 3g, as i have it and it works a charm.
[Touch HD General] Kaherdin:
No.

As for a day to day using experience and with the need to trust that your phone doesn't shut down all of a sudden, its not worth the risk of using XDAndroid on your Blackstone yet.

As a "let try this and see what the heck it is!!" IT IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT.

Oh I hope the android devs aren't leaving Blackstone behind and just fucus on Leo... I would have to buy a Leo just for that reason then :(

[Touch HD General] dez93_2000:
sage words, sir.

Just got home from giving my HD7 back - faulty device and a reasonably long list of unforgiveable omissions from MS which has meant my final residual warmth for MS has been expunged. Android 2.3 sounds like the business, and the Nexus S looks like the one to run it on, when it's out (shame the galaxy S doesn't have a flash - odd oversight!).

Until then, i guess i'll either

1. live with the latest feature-rich but hardware-overloading energy ROM, or

2. flash down to some combination of speed and features which works on the HD, or

3. dual boot to android, try to iron out the kins and live without a camera.

Vive the linux!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Diewi:
Hi everyone,

Maybe you know the app 2g Toggle. It toggles your 2g/3g state and therefore runs as android.system.phone.

Because of this the system has to be signed with the same certificate as the app. The author uses the cert platform.x509.pem from cyanogen mod. The cyanogen roms will now allow to install this app. But I found other roms like pinky desire that allow the installation as well.

My question is now how to can I tell Android not to use the original cert but the cyanogen one? Within my kitchen I already tried to signed all apks with the platform key and signed the update.zip with this key, but nothing helped.

I just noticed, that the key of the update.zip is irrelevant as cm for example is signed with the testkey.

So, can anyone tell me how I get Android to check the system parts against the platform cert? I'm really clueless right now.

[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
I was running Fusion 1.1 recently, and when the Core v1 kernel was released, I flashed the 1.2ghz version, but experienced freezes.

I figured my phone couldnt handle the OC, so I flashed the 1ghz version, my phone started freezing worse. I tried rebooting and it froze during the Galaxy S boot animation.

I then adb'd into recovery and tried flashing Fusion 1.1 again, but my phone froze during the flash and now it wont boot past the Vibrant screen. When plugged into the computer, it only boots up enough the show the battery charge screen, but freezes before it even displays a battery level.

ADB doesnt seem to recognize any connected devices.

Maybe Im getting the hardware button combos wrong, as far as I know, a device that wasnt previously hardware locked cant become locked, right? I know for a fact mine wasnt locked before.

If someone could post the exact hardware button combos, cause Ive seen conflicting posts on this. Or any help for that matter, Im desperate.
[Vibrant General] rbirg:
try turning the phone off, holding volume up and volume down, while holding those two plug the usb cable in.

see if that gets you into download mode.
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
Nope, just pops up the battery screen and freezes. :(

A question about hardware locked phones, the combo Im using to get into recovery is, hold down vol up + vol down + power, and when the Vibrant screen disappears, release the power button, but keep holding the volume buttons.

However when I do this, the Vibrant screen just pops up a second time, which wont happen unless Im holding the power button. If I am to take "hardware-locked" literally, then the power button wouldnt even do that, right?
[Vibrant General] fearmonkey:
Hold Vol+/Vol- and Power. Release Power when first Vibrant screen comes up. Works for me..
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
I just get stuck on the Vibrant screen.
[Vibrant General] Dragoth12:
Unless your Vibrant is actually hardware locked, this method should get you into download mode. I have always entered download mode using this method.

1- Power off your phone.

2- Make sure you have the correct drivers installed on your PC for the phone. (I assume you do if you were using ADB).

3- Open Odin on your PC. (I recommend using Odin3 v1.3 or higher, v1.0 has issues)

4- Remove the battery from your Vibrant.

5- Plug the USB cable into your computer.

6- Plug the USB cable into your Vibrant.

7- With one hand (holding the Vibrant on it's side) hold down the Volume up, Volume down, and power buttons all at the same time.

8- While watching the screen, and holding all 3 buttons, place the battery back in the vibrant.

9- Once the battery has been inserted you will likely see one of two things, the "swirly" thinking icon (most common) or the battery icon will pop up. Keep holding the buttons until the initial icon disappears and you see a full black screen is shown.

10- As soon as you see that black screen, release ONLY the power button, continue to hold the volume keys and if done correctly, the Vibrant will go into download mode.

11- Verify Odin sees the device. There will be a box that turns yellow with a Com port shown

12- Load up the .pit & .tar files for the stock rom and flash away. (May have to use re-partition, not sure though)

Hope this helps/works! Good Luck!
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
Followed the directions (used Odin 3 1.70), but when I release the power button at the black screen, the battery screen just comes back up again. :(
[Vibrant General] Dragoth12:
You are 100% sure you aren't hardware locked? My wifes phone was hardware locked and I couldn't get her's into download mode with that method. If you are hardware locked you may have to make a jig to get up and running....i should have bookmarked that thread....now I have to search.
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
I havent had to use to the hardware keys in a while, so maybe I am.

I thought you couldnt use volume keys to navigate recovery if you were HW locked?

If it turns out I am locked, do you think Id be able to access download with this method?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819551
[Vibrant General] Dragoth12:
That is the exact thread I went looking for. It should get you into download mode no problem. Worth a shot anyway.
[Vibrant General] Sdobron:
This kernel nearly bricked me much like the problem you're experiencing. It does seem like you may be hardware locked...it locked me out of recovery with the use of 3 hardware buttons, but luckily Odin came through.

You do have the samsung drivers installed on your computer correct? This might be the reason why you can't get into download mode. I also noticed that even though I got into download mode it did not immediately show the COM notification showing I was connected...I hit start anyway and it immediately started flashing the other kernel I used to recover (JAC OC/UV 1.0). There is something seriously wrong with this kernel on certain Vibrants and I don't think I'll be flashing it again, even after updates.
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
I would definitely have to agree with you there, it froze during a flash with me, which is anything but safe.

Either way, I went out and bought the correct resistors, but I've never done any soldering so I got the micro usb breakout board since its a little easier. I suppose that will come in a week and then Ill have to put it all together and see if the homemade jig works. Wish me luck!
[Vibrant General] dbacchus:
Did your phone get hot? One must be careful when flashing oc kernel. It is quite possible to ruin your phone if the temperature gets out of control...
[Vibrant General] Mothafizzy:
Good luck man. I too had Fusion 1.1, flashed Core 1.2 which caused freezes, I flashed back to stock and when attempting to reload Fusion I messed up the USB and it bricked, and I was hardware locked. I made the "Jig" and it worked fine after a couple tries plugging it in, got to download and flashed back to stock without any problems.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Strange, I release after the second Vibrant screen.

OP: it certainly sounds like you're hardware locked. And no, I don't think it means you can't navigate recovery, it means the buttons don't work when trying to get into recovery in the first place (I was hardware locked and couldn't enter recovery/download without adb; I used the flashable fix to remove the hardware lock).

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdZKu7:
I tried to install Gallery3D.apk (Froyo backport), but it kept saying "Application was not installed". Then suddenly while starting another program (contacts) the nexus-style gallery popped up anyway!

After checking with another device it seems Gallery3D comes with our 2.1 build, and can be seen under menu->settings->manage applications->list all, but there is no way to start it! It certainly does not show up in Launcher Pro on my device.

Google search on the device, which successfully finds other installed applications, does not find Gallery.

1) Any ideas on how to create a shortcut to the program, and how to make it take over for media scape?

2) Any ideas as to how the program started in that fluke moment, and what implications that might have (in terms of other potential exploits)?

The device is not home right now, so if somebody please could try:

Settings->applications->media scape->clear defaults and see if Gallery can take over as jpg-viewer

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

i was just going to say this.

the reason why you see WinMo and Ios phones running android and you dont see much with android phones running iOS and WinMo isnt entirely because of the backlash from fanboys.

a lot of it has to do witht he fact that Android is open source so it is much easier to get it up and running on other devices. to be able to modify a non open source OS and get it running on android phones is much more difficult and would take a lot of time and effort. think about it this way.

for the EVO we have a team working on a base android rom (CM) and they still dont have it all working. to make iOS or WinMo fully functioning would be significantly more work then it will take to even get CM fully functioning.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edufur:
The reason Android is available to run on iPhone is because:

1) There is actually a reason to... iPhone owners realized that Android was better and thus there was demand for it.

2) Android OS is a much more efficient (thus easier to port) OS. It is designed to be flexible... where as iOS is not.

so... given that you have wonderful freedom with your Android, why would you choose to imprison yourself with an inferior OS?

[General Questions and Answers] the_scotsman:
Hi,

First, welcome to xda :)

You won't be charged any extra fees for using a custom ROM...just make sure you have the connections information correct. I'm not sure if Energy ROMs have the automatic connection setup, but if you browse to Settings > Connections > there might be a Connection Setup icon. Run this and it will automatically setup your data settings. It may have already done this during the initial flash.

Then go to Settings > connections > connections and make sure the Vodafone data settings are the ones selected in the dropdown menus.

Energy ROMs usually have a lot of handy applications already installed...there are many ROMs available, just try a few and have a play until you find your favourite :)
