I have searched and asked whether there are any updated OEMDrivers for the native Blackstone 6.5 Kernel? It appears some of the Topaz 6.5 OEMDrivers are compatible with the Blackstone 6.5 native kernel and there are ROMs out there that have these drivers integrated? In the dump of the latest official Topaz 6.5 ROM lots of the .dll files from OEMDrivers are modules that get dumped as single files in the final Blackstone 6.1 ROM. I think due to the memory differences between 6.1 and 6.5 this is beneficial for Blackstone WM 6.5x ROMs with the native 6.5 Kernel?

I don't have the luxury of going through each of the files/modules and cooking ROMs as I only have a single Blackstone and its my only phone. But it does appear this has already been done by some of the Blackstone chefs? If someone could let me know what modules/files I can transport from the Topaz to the Blackstone I'd be grateful - maybe an upload of a converted/updated Blackstone OEMDrivers kitchen folder?

Many thanks

Andy

The Mikenificent ROM contains some updated Topaz Drivers apparently? The chef isn't responding to PM's and any other requests I have made have gone unanswered so does anyone have a dump of this ROM or the OEMDrivers folder?

The link to the Mikenificent ROM has also gone...

Hi Andy,

I've tried my self, but it's not an easy task.

I'd suggest to identify the target drivers you want to improve from the original Blackstone 1.59 ROM, and then create cabs with the Topaz drivers and install them on top for a quick try. You may need to recmod some of them.

I have tried a few of them, but some are not compatible (E.G.: smarttouch)

An alternative is to ask someone of the users on the mikenificent thread for a copy of the 13.3 Rom, flash it and get a copy of the drivers he is using and compare with the original blackstone drivers.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
That's probably the best approach. With 6.5 kernels, you can convert all of the oem drivers to modules (in my experience), and there will definitely be more modules among the drivers in 6.5 roms compared to 6.1 roms. If you want to test out some from a topaz rom, dump the rom and then recmod the ones you're interested in. I would just copy them into \windows with total commander or resco explorer, and over-write the rom module. Soft reset, and see how it works. You can do several at a time. For the hell of it once, I converted all of my oem driver dll's to files and then over-wrote the rom modules with the files to see how the device behaved. It worked ok (more virtual memory is used, though), and all of the files did load into ram properly.

[Windows Mobile] ADB100:
Hi, thanks for the link but I already have that and thats what I am using in my Blackstone 6.5 ROMs. Its the OEMDrivers folder I want to update/replace with Topaz drivers that:

1. Work perfectly on the Blackstone

2. Are newer and written for WM 6.5

3. Offer better performance than the latest Blackstone 6.1 drivers

I have already re-moduled most of the 6.1 drivers however I can't see any performance increase with doing this - I think it is more memory efficient to have modules but since the drivers are essentially the same they perform the same :confused:

I have already asked in the Mikenificent thread as well as PM'ing Mikenf(?) and haven't heard anything so far...

Thanks, Andy
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Half the fun of cooking is experimenting with the ingredients and settings. I suggest you just get the drivers and find out for yourself.

Topaz Drivers for testing on Blackstone

Hi,

I did a comparison of all drivers Blackstone 1.59 vs Topaz 2.53.

Attached you will find them, split by function (some of them unknown).

I'll be start doing some test myself using some in my next roms and advise

If you test and work, pls also advise.

Yea, I just downloaded the rom to my phone, xfrd it to the root of my internal mem. Then using rom manager, boot into recovery, click reinstall packages If ur in the stock recovery, then go to install from sd.card, then you pick the rom you downloaded. Thats how I did it, and worked fine. I went from stock, to obsidian_v5_beta. Team whiskeys rom

I don't like the standard icons in the settings menu from sense.

The normal android icons are cooler, and the icons from Gingerbread, woah!

So i decided to change the icons.

This is looks like before

And now after my little mod

Now i need a Icon for Personalization and connect with PC, and a new for search. Cause Gingerbread dont offers these icons.

I tested this only on my HTC Desire with Modaco r9, but it should work with every Sense ROM.

Just go to /system/app and replace your existing Settings.apk with mine

When you find some icons that are not replaced so give me a short feedback.

And now, the apk ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] rahul.pillai:
Hmm, tried this with DJ 1.9 Sense ROM and it does not work. Gives me an error message when I try to access Settings. I guess it might be because the version # is 2.13 vs. 2.10 on MCR?
[Desire Themes and Apps] fllash:
Yes, that seems likely.

The settings app is heavily linked with the android framework.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Se7enair:
You can upload your settings.apk so i can change the icons in your version.

Or maybe i post a guide how to change the icons in every rom and only give you the icons...
[Desire Themes and Apps] MYAbln:
wonderful! und auf gut deutsch...wunderschön! thx for this MOD..:)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Se7enair:
I decided to write a guide, cause it seems that it doesnt work in every rom.

And with a guide i can also modify more icons like these in the shutdown menu.

Hi guys, got my Orange-branded uk desire a couple of days ago and have been reading up on rooting etc ever since.

In homage to my username, i'm following this to remove the carrier software:

(rootmydroid.cx.ux/) guides/general/howto-root-your-htc-desire-wildfire-evo-incredible-with-unrevoked/

I'm at step 3. My question is where can i find the most up-to-date official htc rom to flash onto my desire? I know a google search will give me loads of choices, but a lot are now months old and I'm keen not to flash an old version - im running 2.2 at the moment, but i basically just want an unbranded phone without the hassle of making a goldcard.

Is there one single file out there that i need? or will it consist of seperate rom and a radio files? Will the rom come as a .zip or .exe?

I know its a basic question, and once i've got the answer i'll leave you alone and follow the guide myself....just didnt want to flash with unrevoked, and not have a rom to reflash!

if it helps, these are my details:

bravo pvt4 ship s-on

hboot 0.93.0001

micro 051d

touch panel synt0101

radio 5.10.5.30

Thanks in advance! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Hi,

You will need a Goldcard if you're moving off an Orange rom even if you're going to stock HTC.

This is the first thing to do before going any further.

As for an upto date stock unbranded rom, see http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe

You will need to run this RUU on your PC while your phone is connected in fastboot mode.

Please be aware tho, that there isn't an Orange RUU available at the moment so going back to an Orange stock rom could be an issue.

Oh, and do a nand backup as soon as you have rooted.

Mike
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihatecrapware:
Ah right, ok :)

I was under the impression that loading a rom via unevoked would effectively overwrite the rom i have now, meaning the carrier's applications would be removed in the process?

I guess a complete debrand isn't what I'm after - I don't mind if i still have the Orange logo on start-up (I don't want to unlock it from the Orange network either), as long as there are none of their applications like Orange Maps and Orange Photos when I'm actually using the phone.

Would i still need a goldcard for that? Or would i be able to follow the guide in the link in my first post, flashing the rom you suggested at stage 3?

Thanks in advance! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
If you're going to go to a stock, unrooted, unbranded ROM then you won't be able to restore a nandroid backup as you need root!! :D

First thing, as said, is to make a gold card. Then use it to flash the 2.29.405.2 RUU. Then see how you get on as it is. If you still don't think it's doing what you need it to then root and go for a custom ROM
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihatecrapware:
Right, ive created a goldcard using a guide on the unlockr.com

The website provides links to desire rooting tools 0.75 or 0.80 bootloaders, however mine is 0.93.0001. Can anyone offer any guidance please?

Thanks in advance!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihatecrapware:
can i use that with a goldcard to just debrand then? thought that was only for rooting?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjm1979:
The stock rom (or pretty near to stock) you posted a while back eddy was good enough for his needs do you think?

I think Frankdroid did a variation in your thread of it with root and a2sd+. I was using it for a while and battery was good and the rom smooth enough.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Right...

If you just wanna debrand, as is get rid of the Orange crap, and not be rooted then all you need is a gold card and the RUU from my signature. This will give you a stock, unbranded HTC ROM

If you wanna root and go for a custom ROM, use unrEVOked
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihatecrapware:
yea, i just wanna get rid of the Orange crap. I've made my goldcard, following a guide on theunlockr .com, but have come unstuck when it lists some downloads for certain bootloaders that would allow me to run the RUU, however my bootloader is a lot newer so i wasnt sure where i go from here, now that i've made my goldcard

I've downloaded the RUU, but when i run the .exe, is says its not a valid win32 application....?

Basically i've got a goldcard and the ruu. How do i now get it loaded on my phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Which RUU did you download? Latest unbranded one is the one in my signature. Ignore guides online as they've not been updated for months
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihatecrapware:
ive got the ruu from your sig. Goldcard was made following an old guide on the web. Will this be ok?

just not sure where to go next in terms of actually getting the ruu on my phone with the goldcard
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Gold card guide is fine. That RUU is also fine as it's my upload and is the one I use myself (using Windows 7 Ultimate x64). Don't know why your version of Windows won't run it - unless it's a corrupt download
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihatecrapware:
yeah, weird. Using Win xp. I'll redownload the ruu in your sig. Once i've got it, what do i do? Turn on phone with power/vol down? Then what do i need to select? I'm guessing once im in the right section, i just connect phone to pc, and just run the ruu .exe?

Sorry, loads of basic q's, appreciate your help!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Turn phone on holding the back button and you'll be in FASTBOOT. Connect to the PC and once your Desire says FASTBOOT USB run the RUU

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juozasb:
Updated to 2.1 yesterday, and here is the list of problems -

1. the phone is sometimes slow - sometimes as fast as it was with 1.6 (decided by playing angry birds and just browsing the phone)

2. touchscreen is hyper sensitive, writing sms or email is very hard, I try to push once, but the phone pushes number twice! very annoying

3. this time my fault - after synced contacts maybe incorectly and now I have 2 identical phone numbers in each contact name. Any solutions how to delete the these double numbers? Tried to delete all contacts and sync again - phone downloads contacts with 2 numbers again and again.

4. scrolling isn't as smooth as it was on 1.6. maybe it's because of issue no.1

5 any ways to downgrade and not to void the warranty?

Can anyone help me please???

Apologies if this is a double-up post. The only related ones I can find are for HD2 & Evo 4G. The menu items they suggest to follow don't seem to match up with what I am seeing.

I have attempted to install the GingerNinja ROM today using ClockWork Mod from within a working build of 2.2 (LeeDoid). I did this in the normal way I would, performing a back up etc before proceeding.

Once the new ROM was installed (all signs point to it installing OK), I get the White Screen of Death upon reboot. I also get this screen if I use HTC bootloader to enter recovery (i.e. no Green & Black recovery loads).

I have followed the instructions of a number of threads and other sites/forums to try and 'un-softbrick' my device. Including adding a fresh update.zip to SD card, installing the Bootloader USB drivers and running Unrevoked again so I can-reflash LeeDroid, Un-rooting etc...

Everything I can find appears to lead to me needing the device to boot in order to recover/root/flash etc. Except for un-rooting which keeps telling me my battery is below 30%, even if I charge it for an hour at the wall.

Any reliable instructions or links to posts in other threads would be hugely appreciated.

I activate Wifi tethering, got an IP address from the Nexus One but it seems that the Nexus one foward all the DNS request to 4.2.2.2 and 8.8.8.8 (google servers)...

My carrier block the DNS request to all DNS servers except two dedicated servers on the network ... Is there any way I can edit a file or use some commands (maybe ADB) to force the Nexus to give me the two DNS server I need to get my wifi tethering working...

If yes - then it's not the phone to blame, since it uses all connectivity as it's provided by the carrier, but the computer connected to the phone - the computer is trying to access Google DNS servers by default. Look in your network settings.

I used to have Android but my Captivate broke, so now im using my brothers old 3GS until get a new phone, I have been looking around and looking at different phones/OS's and it seems all these OS's have annoyances with iOS being the least.

Symbian:Ugly Design, very subjective on that matter but still the UI for ME is ugly and could really use an update, hardly any apps, I look on the Ovi store and it seems like a joke compared to iOS and Android, but thats not what worrys me what worries me is if it will grow with more apps at the level the other OS's are because it seems like its not, 5800 and n97 had freezing problems and it seems like some people say the same for n8, as for some pros, nokias hardware are TOP NOTCH, the best imo, and I mean that DESIGN WISE AND LOOKS WISE, not cheap, well built and wont mess up your SD Card, actually can fix it...lol

iOS:Decent UI looks, simple overall deisgn and easy to use, good hardware, TONS of apps, not fragmented meaning I will always get updates, just overall works, locked down, cant use as mass storage, itunes is horrid..., but the good thing is that it does have workarounds for a lot of things, still annoying...

Android:very open UI which is nice but can also be bad, very fragmented, not all android phones get the updates and most stop getting updated after a certain update, sometimes feels like its in beta stage, can lag at times, lots of apps, mass storage, Custom UI's suck, actually similar to symbian imo

WP7:best hands down looking UI imo, very smooth and fast, not fragmented meaning all phones will receive the same Update, pretty much destroys your SD card unless you have a nokia phone to fix it lol, low amount of apps but growing quickly, xbox live.

So im just not sure what to get....N8 and E7 are masterfully designed and are perfect hardware wise imo, would be my #1 choice but the UI is ugly and feels old and there is not that many apps and games, what kind of updates will Nokia make for these phones? Will they change drastically? Then we have iPhone which im using now, which just works, has lots of apps and has great hardware to back it up (i4), but no mass storage and itunes sucks, both have workarounds though, Android is great and very customizable, has a lot of apps, but sometimes lags, and the fact that unless you have a nexus phone, updates are very it or miss which I find VERY annoying.., then we have WP7 which have good hardware (Samsung Focus), Fantastic looking and easy to use UI, but has a lot of missing features(update coming), updates will come to all phones unlike android, no mass storage, and ironicly a pretty closed OS...

Overall I gotta say Im leaning towards The N8/E7 or the Iphone4, I really really love Nokias Hardware, just not sure about the OS, especially my bad experiences with the Satio, N97 and 5800.....
