So I can flash this kernel over my setup on Axura 2.1 and it'll move everything over? What are the dangers? If for some reason it didn't boot up is there a way to recover without Odin?
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
I did this very thing in my post #16 above yours. Go for it! Remove any other lag fixes you may have though. I had none installed so I didn't have to do that. PERFORM A NANDROID backup and optionally copy to a computer before flashing the kernel to be safe. Restoring the Nandroid backup won't restore the kernel though.

The dangers are minimal if you backup. Permanently bricking the phone is unlikely. You may soft brick but you probably won't. PLUG IN AND DON'T TURN OFF THE PHONE UNTIL THE "TW" LOGO DISAPPEARS! Around this time, you will hear a voice say voodoo has been activated.

I believe the conversion process may attempt to revert the changes it tried to make in the event of an unsuccessful conversion. If reversion is successful then you should again have access to CWM to flash back to any rom you have stored on your phone. Use nandroid to restore your data and your back to normal.
[Vibrant Android Development] wildklymr:
Heimdall... Um if you cant get into download mode perhaps you shouldn't flash experimental things.

anyone having a hard time downloading some of the apps from the market. i. e. pocket legends. I always get an "unsuccessful download" when trying to download it
[Vibrant Android Development] pablizzo:
OK i got my market working again, I ODIN'd to stock a few times and reflashed but it never worked. So i went ahead and flashed the zip file that is in the /sdcard/Dragon/ folder and now it works. Should be ok right?
[Vibrant Android Development] ceoesquad:
Try to rest the market app it worked for me go to all application and look for market and clear everything that should work
[Vibrant Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
lol that was the first thing I did when I flashed the Rom and tried downloading pocket legends. all my other apps downloaded just fine its just pocket legends just doesn't download :\ immediately says unsuccessful
[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
Pocket Legends doesn't install for me either and the developer didn't help at all.

It downloads but won't ever install.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
That's just the ROM installer that gets installed automatically after the kernel flash and reboot. So yes, it's fine to install that.

Note that market is tricky and often the problems are not local, they are on Google's side. Most of the time I have a problem on my phone, my wife's completely stock G2 has the same problems.
[Vibrant Android Development] Se7eN43:
disable lagfix is not working with macnut 14. linda's voice is heard but skips the whole conversion process.
[Vibrant Android Development] joe.kerwin:
Damn, was going to try this, but this worries me.
[Vibrant Android Development] mmas0n:
Great work, ttabbal.

I'm running the Dragon kernel v2 with Nero v1 beta. A beautiful combination. I also tested to make sure that reverting back to RFS is successful. All is well.

:D
[Vibrant Android Development] stafly17:
like a 795 its really low
[Vibrant Android Development] joe.kerwin:
how do you disable it exactly? I've never installed voodoo and wanna know before I even flash it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Fedburin:
Running with Auxura 2.1...

Runs great...battery life is ****ty as stated but that is to be expected. I get about 8 hours with it as well. Anyway great job. I have been waiting for something like this for a while. Thanks for compiling it. Now if only we could get working GPS with Foryo.
[Vibrant Android Development] robertzas:
i just got 1464,1478,1477,1475 quadrants on nero beta with this kernal. make sure you animations are off in the display settings. get setcpu and set it from 1000, to 1000. for that matter ive never gotten to much less, even on jk6 roms. it feels real snappy. been runnin bout 8 hours now and no probs with the rom/voodoo kernal
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
Thanks. Ummm... Gps works great for me. Only the ported roms from i9k had the gps issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
You can create a disable voodoo file or you can just download the free "Voodoo Toggle Reboot" (ZennMaster) from the Market.
[Vibrant Android Development] drhonk:
Run the following

adb shell ">/sdcard/Voodoo/disable-lagfix"

Then reboot your phone, it should converts your EXT4 partition back to RFS.

To re-enable it back, just remove that file (disable-lagfix) then reboot.
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
That's MUCH lower than I've ever seen. Here's what I've personally experienced...

A Vibrant running stock rom, no lagfix, no OC, RFS = ~ 975

A Vibrant running stock rom, no OC, w/ EXT4 (Voodoo) = ~ 1475
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Whoa! Thanks for the tip on that app. Wonderful! :)

Thanks for the info...guess I should go back to TW.
[Vibrant Android Development] Bl4ckpheniX:
dragon nero v1

so just installed the dragon nero v1. This is the first time I have done anything with dragon. Should I also be installing Voodoo on top of this? or is Dragon the voodoo kernal built into the Rom.. Sorry for the noob question

thanks in advance

[Fascinate General] rand0mthoughts:
Sorry to make another thread about this...but I looked and I couldn't find anything specific. I find general ones, but I get lost in the steps because some of them simply say " Do this" and I don't even know how to get to that.

My Fascinate is rooted, has a lagfix from another forum (don't remember which one) and nothing else.

I would like to flash that super clean rom by JT and also install that gingerbread theme that in the "Themes and Apps" section of the Fascinate Forum.

Is there anyone who could point/link/help me?

I see everyone say this flashed this or that and I have no clue how to do it.
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
First for reference purposes ll question threads should be located in the general section.

To flash things you need THIS working on your phone. And continue to keep reading and it will all make sence.

Tip: read the threads with the little push pin.

good day.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tristansun:
First thing I'm really worried ...

I S-OFF and I can't get in2 recovery since (Desire )

The process went good & clean (It didn’t work when I head the RCMixHD so I down to r6- ROM from modaco & plan to return to HD Rom at the end)

Device \ rom is working but I cannot install any other ROM since Then ...

I turn on the device held UP POWER +volume and all I get is the Joker laughing in my face ...

I downloaded recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo (since my device works and installed clockwork, I can do it through the device & download direct (I did both) ) pushed through the ADB, but the same situation.

I've been hours on forums and I have no more power

Please HELP

I also tried through Flescher but to no avail
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastaman-FB:
did you read the alpharev s-off thread in this very forum?

2 things

2. you should use search

this was on the second page

look whats on the 1st post

its worth reading when you are doing dangerous things with your device

i dont believe you have been searching for hours
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
download this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=839621. save it to your android-sdk folder like this C:\android-sdk-windows\tools in folder tools.

put your phone in fastboot mode by pressing the back button+ power button.

in cmd write without the quotes "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" depending on where you have saved your sdk- tools folder.

next write "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0.img"

next write "fastboot reboot-bootloader".

turn off your phone and but in recovery, wipe everything and flash the rom you like.

If you've switched from an iPhone to a Desire HD, what do you think of it? Do you regret the decision or are you happy with it?

I've been delaying my choice of Android phone to wait for the Nexus S, but that's last year's hardware at a rip-off price, whereas I've had a play with a DHD in a shop recently and was blown away by it (THE SCREEN IS HUGE!)

So, yeah, if I get positive feedback from iPhone switchers, I'll sell my 3GS pick up the DHD for myself ASAP! :D
[Desire HD General] MadeInRu:
IMHO do it, trying it never hurts. But the experience may proof to be more exciting then you think. Comes from Nokia user who also used Iphone for work.

For me, it's just more freedom, with everything.

I have both devices but I still prefer the iPhone 4.

Simple Usability + tons of apps : iPhone 4

Out of the box Tweakable, Superieur hardware : HTC Desire HD

[Desire HD General] sergiopi:
I am business user/power user, I had iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, Blackberry Pearl, Nokia N97, still having iPhone 3GS 32 Mb (with and without jailbreak), Desire AND Desire HD.

Hardware:

Desire means lot of power in your hands, even without rooting, AMOLED screen, same resolution, I will say iPhone 4 and Desire are on the same level.

HD means the next level! (more CPU, more memory. bigger screen, faster, ...), GPS is a REAL GPS and not a joke as in iPhone.

Software:

All the software I need exists for android and usually is better than the same in the iPhone release. The use of office suite in iPhone is a pain in the... sincronizing files, movies and music between phone and two-theee computers is impossible.

Navigation (for free in ANDROID, from Google) is the best I have seen in smartphones and the ram, CPU and screen size matters also from SW point of view...

HD weakness

still poor android market, not in term of number of applications, but in terms of the poor user interface and consequentely is hard to find really cool applications.

Appbrain is part of the solution

rom... I need to restart every 2-3 days, because it becomes slow (some memory leaks?)

iPhone is really much better only in backup/restore. If you loose it, or damage it just connect a new one and in 5 minutes you will have your phone, as it was in the last sync. Android and HTC are still far from this!
[Desire HD General] johnboywilson:
I use both, like you say iPhone best for apps/games. DHD for for messing with.

Wish i could afford more phones! :D
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
rooting your devices allows you to make full backup using both either clockworks recovery for a complete image backup and titanium offers complete backup where you can restore exactly what you need
[Desire HD General] kokkie:
Indeed, iP4 is my private phone. HTC Desire Z is my Business phone

Some useful responses here, thanks!

I think I might as well make the jump, and if I regret it, I can always sell the HD and get an iPhone 4 anyway :)
[Desire HD General] aleoca333:
Desire HD vs Iphone 4, my opinions.

Im deciding on which phone to buy, here are my opinions.

Desire HD

-Big screen

-Looks more cooler

-Few have this phone, so its fairly unique.

-Android has better emulators (But iphone has better native games)

-*Better, faster out-of-the-box browser that has flash and auto text resize (Safari alternatives on iphone can browse as fast and as well)

-*-The default, out-of-the-box interface is much better (However, the interface is very inconsistent and custom interfaces on iphone4 can be made to look as good)

-*No need to use Itunes, simply drag and drop. (Jailbroken iphones can do this too)

-*Better music playback (Custom iphone 4 music player apps are as good)

Iphone 4

-Much more high quality games

-Better managed app store, and there are more apps for the iphone

-Can last longer. Even after iphone 5, iphone 4 will still receive plenty of support. 2 years later, im quite sure iphone 4 will still remain a very viable phone.

-I think iphone 4 has better battery life, not too sure on this.

So, it seems iphone 4 wins desire hd handily and the only thing going for desire hd is the physical aspect (screen,looks).

Correct me if ive made any mistakes or left out anything important.
[Desire HD General] dvhttn:
I have the DHD but never used an iPhone but it seems like you've made up your mind ....

Dave
[Desire HD General] Try4Ce:
Well, you forgot some stuff:

- iPhone is bound to iTunes / DesireHD just to a plain USB Connection

- SD Card on Desire HD / iPhone doesnt have SD Card, but bigger internal memory

- Desire HD has 768 MB of System Memory, iPhone 4 has 512

- Android has true Multi Tasking, iOS has a kind-of multitasking

- Android is way more capable of customization

- Desire HD is faster in total, Sense UI looks brilliant, big display, and its cheaper than the iPhone 4

So yeah, Desire HD wins this battle for me.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
you also forgot gingerbread, which the DHD will definitly get

gameloft just announced on their twitter page, nova 2, asphalt 6 and dungeon hunter 2 and brother in arms 2 are coming to android as well

i've downloaded all of gameloft games to my DHD including lets golf 2, need for speed shift, reckless racing they all are running super smooth

bottom line is games support on android is only getting better and now with gingerbread games tools we will get even more games

as for support you will get some support from HTC, one or two major updates like the desire/legend and wildifre received froyo, the desire received 2 mantainance updates after froyo so far

this is the first year after that you are on your own this is where rooting and customs roms comes in, if you ask me xda offers more than apple can offer, like the HTC diamond received the latest updates from HTC HD2 and the hero is running froyo with sense, when apple screwed the 3G with the 3.0 update

but yes iphone is easy peasy
[Desire HD General] aleoca333:
-Jailbroken iphones dont need itunes

-Iphone 4 32gb has all the space you need

-I dont see how this can be useful

-The way the multitasking is implemented in iphone is better

-Yeah, i agree the android interface can be customised, but DHD's sense is already very very good.

-Like i said, DHD's out-of-the-box interface is much better, but inconsistent across apps. And a themed and customised iphone can look as good as a DHD.

where i live, DHD is only slightly cheaper than iphone 4
[Desire HD General] aleoca333:
Can you please tell me if the gaming quality is as graphically good as iphone 4? from what ive seen, the iphone version of the same game is usually much better :(:(
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
depends on the game reckless is lesser res but much faster than iphone 4

all gameloft games especially the recent ones are as good if not faster in frame rate

but really if you're interest is purely games get the iphone 4, it will always have more games, plus you wont have to wait for them and the android does have a learning curve
[Desire HD General] Try4Ce:
Sorry, but im not talking about jailbreaking or rooting, because both will end your warranty. Simple as that, the DHD is much more versatile than the iPhone, out of the box and without hacking.

With hacking, the Android OS is alot more customizable than a rooted iPhone. True story, I know both since all my work buddies have an iPhone since its the companys business phone here. They are all amazed by the amount of customization I can do on my DHD, and of course the speed.

True, Android has its flaws, every OS has, and Android is still pretty fresh on the market.

You dont see the advantages of a SD Card Slot? Well, the advantages are, that you can put the memory easily into a SD Card Reader and read your photos, music and all that stuff on other devices without plugging the Phone everywhere. Plus with SD Cards you can manage multible data storages, and you can choose whatever storage type and size you want. Simple, isnt it? Jeez.

Oh, and you dont see the use of more system memory? That's funny... More system memory usually means to be capeable of running more complex program structures. And higher quality imaging... If thats no use at all, we could all go back to our AMIGA computers and be happy that it just sits there and shows 16 colors or something ^^

Android Multitasking is superior compared to the iphone multitasking. Just go ahead and try some... Like while calling open up your GPS or Google Maps to give the person on the other end directions or adresses. It is so comfortable and easy on my DHD.
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
Games are the most minor part Of the phone yes iphone wins for games, every thing else is subjective.

For me androids ui makes more sense, and looks cleaner and makes better use of the limited screen space on phones.

I barely use the market, and when I need something an appropriate app is there

Also iphone home cannot match the beauty you can create with something like launcher pro.

As for manufacturer long term support minor issue if you buy a popular device community support is more valuable.

Quite simply android is for people who like to fiddle with the latest and greatest, iphone is for people who either just want it to work and are not inclined to go beyond the average user, or they buy iphone because its fashionable *facepalm*?

In the end you have to pick what is best for you
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
more free apps in the android market, like we got angry birds for free

i also looked it up, the iphone 4 features the SGX535 28M poly per second or roughly 37million triangles per second

adreno 205 on the DHD is 41million triangles or roughly 30M poly per second

also the adreno 205 features a 2D vector accelerator

so the DHD beats it with a small margin, keep in mind the iphone 4 has to produce a higher resolution and hence waste a lot more resources
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
My mate wanted to swap his brand new iPhone 4 for my standard desire, so there isnt even a need for a comparison between the DHD and iPhone 4 :D

[Desire HD General] tim.embeddedfreelancer:
Could a jail break iPhone support web Adobe Flash? Out of box HDH is able to support that. There are tons of free flash games in the internet.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
jailbroken iphone can run "frash" and its not running so good, especially with complex stuff like games

and yes tons of flash games through the browser in DHD and some are better then installed games, you can even run them full screen
[Desire HD General] tim.embeddedfreelancer:
Another question, could a jailbroken iPhone load multiple web pages simultaneously like PC? An out of box HDH could do this easily....
[Desire HD General] kokkie:
Bollocks. A regular user doesn't care of flash, how much memory, how much MP camera, iTunes or USB etc. They care of: Easy to use, Stability, etc etc

Pro's iPhone :

-You can sell it secondhand for big bugs. Try to sell your DHD after a couple month's :eek:

-Simple to use. Even my grandma can use my iPhone/iPad

-Its a popular gadget (Apple its a popular brand)

-iOs is popular by (Game)developers.

-You can pay (apps/music) with iTunes Giftcards. Most people (kids) in the Netherlands don't use CreditCards.

And hell no i'm not a apple fanboy. I use different platforms.

Still waiting for a slick WP7 phone with Slidekeyboard :)
[Desire HD General] MaybachMan:
Only if they're old...

The HTC Hero still goes for almost £200 on eBay, the Desire is about £300.

Android has torrent clients ;)
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
The non-jailbroken iPhone is very limited. Non-rooted Android is on the other hand pretty useful. The fact that it still gives you the ability to install any applications no matter where you got them should tell you enough about the freedom of the device. Not to mention being able to install the rooting application from the market. Like Apple would ever include any tool for that in it's Appstore.

Out-of-the box experience on the DHD is much, MUCH better than the iPhone.
