Hi mate, just curious whether there'll be a version of your excellent theme for the new Oxygen 2.0? Thanks and regards :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] holinx:
Great theme.

Hope that we'll get a new version for oxygen2.0.

Keep it up rover :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Octane70:
Same here, i am missing this theme in oxygen 2.0
[Desire Themes and Apps] countergokou:
hi guys,

please i'm a newbie...

can anyone explain me step by step how can i install this fantastic theme?

i have htc desire rooted with oxygen 2.0 (RC7) installed and recovery 2.0.0(green words)

thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] 8ESP:
The same way you installed oxygen. You just flash it. Don't forget to do a backup.
[Desire Themes and Apps] countergokou:
i did it with recovery from the line command:

flash .zip from sd

all the procedure was done but the next reboot phone stuck in the "oxygen" green word(understood?)

had to reflash the ROM oxygen 2.0..

S-OFF is needed to install the theme?

Thanks

sorry for my bad english i'm italian

[Captivate General] natty407:
is it possible to unlock the captivate and use it with verizon service
[Captivate General] rajendra82:
Verizon is a CDMA carrier and Captivate is a GSM phone, so the answer is no, it won't be possible for the two to work together. An unlocked Captivate can however be used on T-Mobile, and an unlocked Vibrant will similarly work on AT&T. It is also not possible to unlock a CDMA phone at all, as the subscriber information is flashed on the phone, and not read via a SIM card like the GSM phones. If you must be on Verizon, you'll have to get a Fascinate, and once you get it, you won't be able to use it on any other carrier.

Hi I want to change roms and I have jpm/jp6 obtained via kies reg hack. Do I need to remove the voodoo lag fix first?

Also how good is the official jpo uk rom? is custom roms like docs better?

If docs is better for example how do I install it do I need to download any software or can I run a file on the phone in download mode or something?

Thanks

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Streamline8:
I know there are apps and widgets that some prefer from other phone models that have been bundled with ROMs, but there doesn't seem to be a one stop place to obtain these apps/widgets if they are not included in your current ROM.

I'm looking for a great post with a list of all the different widgets/apps that are available across the the android phone models, and download links if they have been confirmed to work on the Epic.

Things like weather, news, etc widgets.

Apps that are useful, unlike the Sprint Nascar app from sprint.

Hopefully, someone has great access to all these unique apps to each phone model and can give us the ability to download them or inform us how to get them.

Thanks in advance from a noob.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil_me:
Hello I am from India n my phone's running on nordic 2.1.

I am having sever lag when running messaging application. The application opens fast but when sending message it stays on sending message and when i hit back button to the all Threads list it takes lot of time even then. It lags even when a new message has arrived and when I want to check. I am getting this problem after 5 or 6 days after updating.

I reflashed it again using SEUS. At first it was fine and experiencing problem now again after like a 5 or 6 days again. Tried removing major applications and also removing sd card but the lag stays. And continuos messaging leads to crash. I see "keypad" process eating a lot of cpu when the lag happens. Can anybody please help? Its so frustrating to flash it often and then backup/restore. Thank you

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil_me:
I have tried Handcent and chompsms too. still had the same problem. Just reflashed it with a diff fw ( nordic before, now on global ) and also rooted clearing my inbox and removed unwanted appz and JIT enabled. Let me see if I find any improvement.

Thank you. :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pabling19:
Same on my mini pro.. Handcent takes a few seconds to load (2 - 5 seconds). I have JIT enabled
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3sRtH4mmR:
2 seconds isn't too bad!! I like Handcent because it's so customizable. Haven't gone back to the stock messaging app since I installed it.

Strange how so many people are having different issues with the update.

Hope you guys get it sorted out.

[Desire HD Android Development] rorydaredkign:
Hi all,

Saw there were no guides for ClockworkMod install on Mac. And people cool enough to have the DHD must also surely have Macs :) Or like hacking about enough to have a hackintosh. So anyways, I made a guide.

Rooting and s-off

I rooted using this thread here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835746

You need to download visionary r12 and a terminal emulator, but its all explained there. Exact same process as for windows users.

Once you are rooted and have s-off, come back here.

ClockworkMod Recovery (Updated guide for paul@modaco version)

1. Download the Android SDK for Mac from HERE

Extract it, then move the whole folder to the root of your main drive

e.g for me its full path is "/Snow/android-sdk-mac_x86"

2. Download the HTC fastboot binary from Here

Then extract it and move it to /xxxx/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools/

3. Download the clockwork.img from This thread

And copy it to the tools folder where you put fastboot

4. Connect your DHD to the computer in charge only mode.

5. Open Terminal.app

6. Type

cd /xxxx/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools/

Where xxxx is the name of your drive

And press enter.

If the drive where your sdk folder is located has a space in its name, you have to add a backslash before the second word.

e.g if your drive is called "Macintosh HD" the path will be:

/Macintosh \HD/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools

Alternatively, if you cant be asked typing into terminal, type cd, then a space, drag the tools folder to the terminal window, make sure it says the right path, then press enter.

7. Type

./adb devices

And press enter

Check your device is listed correctly y checking its serial number in settings on your phone with the serial number that comes up

8.Type

./adb reboot bootloader

And press enter

This should reboot your phone to bootloader, with green writing at the top, then fastboot USB in red.

9. Now type

./fastboot flash recovery clockwork.img

And press enter

If youve done it correctly, it will say

sending 'recovery' (4914 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... OKAY

10. Now use the volume buttons to navigate, and power button to select, and navigate to bootloader, then once that loads, to recovery.

Let it load and ClockworkMod will load.

Then click down through the whole menu 3 times until it says 'back menu button enabled"

This means the power button now is the select button.

You now have CM successfully installed, and can reboot, install new roms etc as you please!

No guarantee provided for this guide, if it breaks your device, blows up the computer, gets you sued by google or whatever, I am not responsible and you do all this at your own risk.

Any improvements to the guide, please say in the thread.

I am also working on a script/app to do it all on OS X with one click. Will hopefully be done once this 10 days of coursework and tests is over!

Happy Flashing and thanks to all the devs that made this possible!

Rory
[Desire HD Android Development] nandihno:
excellent looking forward to the app! :D

mac OS x needs love from android! :D devs
[Desire HD Android Development] gamby77:
Yeah!!!

Useful Guide! Thanks!! :D:D:D
[Desire HD Android Development] s0litaire:
Thanks!

I'm running Ubuntu and the commands are basically the same for Linux systems.

But Linux users will need to add a small file to let the OS see the Device correctly.

Follow step 3 "Setup your system to detect your device." in the guide below:

[Desire HD Android Development] duanes:
Great guide!!!

but on Mac I ceep on getting a signature error??

What am i forgetting?
[Desire HD Android Development] rorydaredkign:
Not sure mate, maybe look in the windows threads.

First thing I would suggest is redownload the recovery image.

At what point are you getting the signature error?
[Desire HD Android Development] nandihno:
excellent i just did it..and my DHD is free! :D
[Desire HD Android Development] rorydaredkign:
Glad I could help. Will soon be expanding it for flashing kernels and ROMs using fastboot.
[Desire HD Android Development] gominolo2002:
Thank you so much for this tutorial is very useful! If Mac users who believe that this method is difficult, can install BootCamp and run Windows natively. I use Windows 7 Ultimate under BootCamp to use the tools for Root, Downgrade, etc... (remember: for use the tools under Windows, runing under "Administrator mode" click right on mouse over the EXE file ;)

Someone with a Mac to use Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion for root, to Downgrade, etc with the DHD?

Regards,
[Desire HD General] ivolol:
mod: If this should be in DHD General, please move it :)

At the moment, sometimes current RUUs (ROM Update Utility) do not flash from the latest RUU exe - many times it will not recognise the Desire HD.

If you are having this problem, this is how to flash the latest stock RUU.

The latest RUU at the time of writing is 1.32.405.6.

You can download the RUUs from xmoo's thread or from mousey_'s site.

note: This is mainly for stock phones, for vendor-derived ones (e.g Vodafone DHDs in Australia) you will also need a goldcard.

Common Steps

Download the latest RUU (1.32.405.6).

Run it as administrator.

Tick the 'I understand the caution indicated above...' box, and click next.

At this point do not go any further.

Navigate to C:\Users\Ivo\AppData\Local\Temp (Replace my username with yours; AppData is a hidden folder)

You should see one or two folders like this:

{719CE201-7B12-4A13-9AF6-8F359FE69C7B}

Go into the one with dotnetinstaller.exe in it.

Open up the next folder.

Copy rom.zip into another folder (outside of temp).

At this point just Cancel and quit out of the ROM Update Utility.

A) Install through PC

Download and install HTC Sync 3.0 and restart.

Download the 1.15.405.1 Test RUU. It is the only one currently known to find the Android DHD.

Start it the same way as before, get to the

1. Connect the Smartphone to the USB Cable.

step. (but no further)

Again, go to the AppData local temp directory (same as above), and find the folder with dotnetinstaller.exe and inside that, rom.zip

You want to delete the rom.zip (which is the 1.15 version) and replace it with (copy back) the 1.32 rom.zip you copied out earler.

DO NOT UPDATE WITH 1.15 ROM, IT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR RETAIL DHDs.

Now click through the next buttons.

The 1.15 Utility should now be set to update with the 1.32 rom. You will see the version number of the rom at the final step.

Click update and watch the magic happen :)

B) or Install through Phone

With the rom.zip you copied out earlier, rename it PD98IMG.zip

Copy this onto the root of your microSD card through some means (disk drive, ftp, wireless).

Restart your phone and boot into the bootloader by holding power and volume down at the same time as it restarts.

It should go into the bootloader, take a fair while to check the zip on the sd card, and then ask you if you want to flash it.

Say yes!

Hope this can help some people for whom the 1.32 RUUs aren't working for them :)
[Desire HD General] agupta80:
Thanks for putting up this post! I was about to request one last night.

Now if only there could be a similar guide to flashing custom ROMs :)
[Desire HD General] Howling Wolf:
To force unroot, I could reinstall RUU 1.32.405.6 from Win7 without problems, a bit longer than updating/reinstalling a WinMo 6.5.x rom (my former HD2), but it went through...
[Desire HD General] dragon546:
Thanks Ivolol this worked a treat

Appreciate your guide and efforts.

I am running Win 7 64. folowed 1.15 method now running latest 1.32.405.6
[Desire HD General] ivolol:
Weird; I tested a couple of RUUs (not as many as xmoo did) and all of them couldn't connect to my phone (whereas 1.15 could).

It'd be interesting to find out what the factors are that cause this. ATM the guide above is what to do if someone finds themselves in the same situation (the current ROMs won't find the phone).
[Desire HD General] afrcom15:
+1 here, went through the normal RUU process fine just for ****s and giggles. I've extracted the ROM.zip though in case it's needed for future use.
[Desire HD General] nandihno:
sorry for the noob question..just had my DHD for the last 5 days. I come from galaxy S, and in there whenever we flash a rom all the data gets wiped out.

is it true also when we flash a RUU??

also if I do that...would i still be able to get OTA updates??
[Desire HD General] ivolol:
I haven't got complete knowledge of the entire subject yet, but:

a RUU will completely wipe all user settings / apps. Won't do anything to the sd card though.

An update.zip is akin to an OTA update, it does not wipe user settings.

Flashing with a stock RUU will mean that you can still get OTA updates.
[Desire HD General] tleehm:
I've tried using the phone method and unable to flash successful. I believe you need a valid GoldCard to use this method.

Can you confirm if the GoldCard is required for doing it with the phone method?

In addition, once the unit (especially our Voda branded one) is flashed with the latest ROM, OTA may not run properly which will result in disabled functionality (as recorded in this thread: forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1575514, wifi stopped working). Theory said you'll need a GoldCard to get OTA to work properly (from another thread in XDA).

Thanks.
[Desire HD General] ssimmmo:
Great Guide thank you very much. Now i know to flash back to stock now if something gose wrong as iam a noob to android it took some time to work it out even tho it is a simple guide now i wanna know after getting perm root how do i flash a custom rom ? do i need clockwork mod?
[Desire HD General] ivolol:
There is a big reason I decided to buy my DHD outright and not through Vodafone :)

I'm pretty sure that Vodafone's OTAs will be different from HTC's. In order to get OTAs from Vodafone you will need their image on it.

Also with vodafone's ROM installed, I wouldn't think it would accept HTC's vanilla ROM/RUU without going through the entire root process (it would only accept Vodafone signed ROMs). So in order to get onto HTC's ROMs I would think you need to follow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841076 before the phone will let you run a HTC RUU on it.

I haven't explored goldcards as I personally have no use for one, but you might also need one by the sounds of it for the Vodafone ROM to let you replace it. (edit: yes it looks like you need one to officially flash from a Vendor ROM to a generic one.)

So this guide is mainly for people with vanilla HTC phones. Although someone has posted a stock rooted Vodafone ROM on the phones so you might be able to use the same techniques outlined here with that.

clockwork mod is useful but not entirely necessary. You might be able to use this guide's method to flash a custom ROM onto it (haven't tried yet), but otherwise I think what you need is a recovery img that will let you upload custom/unsigned ROMs onto it. And also S-OFF I imagine.
[Desire HD General] nandihno:
ok so i have S-OFF and clockwork mod recovery...

if i have the rom.zip and rename it to PD98IMG.zip and run bootloader.

i shouldnt have any problems flashing this rom??

BTW am using Aus branded Vodafone HDH.

also..IF i flash this rom..would i loose S-Off and clockwork recovery mod??

would flashing this allow me to gain OTA???
[Desire HD General] ivolol:
If you flash a stock RUU rom.zip then you will loose all custom apps, data, s-off, recovery, etc. It puts it to factory settings. If you are in the business of flashing ROMs then I wouldn't worry about OTA because the developers here will integrate HTC updates as they come out, if they come out :)

However yes I think if you flashed a stock RUU then you will be able to get OTA. You might still need a goldcard, I'm not exactly sure.
[Desire HD General] cxeka7:
As I am Newbie of Android and I have noob quesitons. Could you please explain what is RUU and use this for what purpose? :)
[Desire HD General] Dr. lele:
Yeah. I got a goldcard inside of my phone but the bootloader doesn't recognize the P98IMG on my sdcard even though its there for sure. No idea how to fix this :(
[Desire HD General] xmoo:
How big is ur sd-card, and also what brand. Sometimes this is also a issue....
[Desire HD General] Dr. lele:
It's a kingston 8 gb class 4, but thanks for the tipp, I'll try another.

Yep, it was the sdcard xD. It's updating as I type :)
[Desire HD General] vimto25:
Carnt I just use the updater on the pc with the Rom? I have tried the method and I don't see a Rom file just a data1 file which is a ear file. I really would like stock ROM on my device

edit: i just used the exe and it installed perfect, so now it should be stock with no root,and s:on
[Desire HD General] ivolol:
An RUU is an exe which contains the stock 'firmware' from HTC to flash to your device. Basically it will do a full factory reset of your device. It won't wipe your sdcard but it will overwrite everything else.
[Desire HD General] bhuwan1990:
it didnt asked me for anything on option B) or Install through Phone. i didnt get the option to flash it.

:(
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
First of all thanks a lot for this amazing guide thread.

Just to make sure, If we have a branded Desire HD (from Vodafone or etc...) what are the exact steps order to install stock RUU ? (which is RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe as of now)

I mean is Gold card necessary i.e.

or

We can directly root it then S-Off and start RUU directly?

Hi noob question here, if i follow this guide and flash an unbranded DHD rom onto my DHD using the goldcard method, do i need to continue to have the gold card in the devide after flashing to continue use??

Also is it possible to revert back to branded rom for warranty issues after flashing

How do you think we can trick 1.72.405.3 downgrade to 1.32 this way?

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] sallel:
I upgraded my previously rooted DHD using PD98IMG.zip (rom.zip 1.72.405.06 extracted from the same RUU)file ftom my GOLD CARD. Now I lost my root and got S-ON. After tied to do same thing but with older rom I got the same error. Is it opossible to do downgeade my DHD because I see that all files on my gold card are as it was before upgrading ingludin hboot old recovery.img etc...

How iti is possible to downgrade from this version of rom inspite that new version works fine for me, but I need rooted device again.

PLZ HELP.....:confused:
[Desire HD General] kingcedz:
can we please have this guide pinned?

I think its a critical guide especially downgrade to 1.32 RUU seems the only way to root for now (Radio S-Off as a pre-requisite)
[Desire HD General] vincent26:
After following this guide using the same firmware, i cant seem to get an OTA update. Does anyone else have this problem??
[Desire HD General] yodafone:
Still couldn't detect the phone with 1.15 so I tried PD98IMG and it works like a charm!

One point of note - can we sticky this with the title modified to add "You can also use this to revert to stock"? There really isn't any straightforward guide to this on any of the pages. I had to search like crazy before I understood that this page was what I wanted.
[Desire HD General] scorror:
