[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyloof:
Ah yea, sorry I must have misunderstood. Just woke up when I posted that.

Anyways, on a sense rom the 4g is bugged anyway. Whenever you turn 4g on and then off again it continues scanning until you reboot your phone even though it says that it is turned off, this DESTROYS your battery. It's a huge PITA to reboot your phone every single time. And if you use a 4g widget then it's almost impossible to stop. That was a huge annoyance for me and caused me to almost never use 4g anyway because I didn't feel like rebooting my phone.

The only way to see it is in aLogCat. It's a problem in HTC's software that has yet to be fixed. Hopefully since the CM team coded it from the ground up, it shouldn't have the problem on CM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travis.rudd:
Thanks for all the replies

@Crazy: You wanna shoot me some links to some good themes, you convinced me to switch to CM, at least for the time being (i'm kind of a chronic customizer) I have the Gingerbread theme, and it rocks, is there anyways to change the Color of all the stock icons so they are monochromatic?? I'd like to make them all the gingerbread green or orange!

Thanks so much!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revx:
I switched to CM recently, and I'm in a 4G area, according to the map anyway. At work I get no 4G signal, period. At home I get a bar and half, maybe, and the signal drops too much to be usable (And I'm only a block and a half away from a tower -- go figure). If I'm out and about I can get a decent signal and the speeds are impressive, until I get too far from the tower and the signal peters out again. Basically 4G is so flaky here that not having it has little to no impact.

Don't worry guys, 4G is coming to CM very soon. There will be an early build within a matter of days it seems. Gingerbread CM with 4G isn't too far off either the big guy himself is using Gingerbread as his daily and 4G is already testing in pre-alpha stages.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shdwboy:
I've only experienced 4g for a week when I was out of town. Its awesome for tethering but 3g were I live is really quick. unfortuntly I don't have it were I live.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danyzfr6:
I flashed FreshEvo 3.5.0.1 but later decided to load CM 6.1.1 just to check it out. Went back to FreshEvo because of no 4G on CM, which is a big deal for me; I also missed having SWYPE (best keyboard EVER!)....tried to get SWYPE on BETA on CM, but couldn't download because it said it's already available on Evo's new Sprint update. There's probably a way to load a bootleg copy of SWYPE, but it comes standard on FreshEvo 3.5.0.1.

Anyway, as soon as 4G is up and running on CM, I'll go back. Performance seems to be better on CM than on FreshEvo, and WAY better than the Sprint Stock Rom. Plus, on CM, you can overclock your CPU beyond 998 MHZ (which I can't on FreshEvo, I read it has something to do with the kernel they use). Overclocking makes your Evo screammmmmmm........but kills your battery. :-)

Yes, you'll have to do a full wipe.

I recommend downloading Rom Manager, backing up your current rom, and loading CM 6.1.1 and see if you like it. With Rom Manager, you can go back to your old operating system just like it was before you loaded the new Rom.

[XPERIA X10 General] rkanwar:
Hey guys just wondering what are the best settings? Sorry if this a repeat post, ive tried searching but cant find anything. Im still losing like 5-6% an hour if an hour at all.
[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
If you're losing 5-6% an hour, I would look into other saving options. I was always a setcpu user to set profiles, but I am having no problems on my x10. I would think you have something else going on, ie too many widgets, bad signal strength, too many things running, highest brightness.

Look at battery stats to see what's consuming the most of your battery.

Otherwise, the most improvement you can make with setcpu, is making a screen off profile and reducing clock to about 50%.
[XPERIA X10 General] rkanwar:
Could you possibly give me some optimal settings for powersave?
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Probably a bad App or widget preventing your phone from sleeping... are you getting this level of drain when you're not using the phone?

You should check apps/ and widgets which access the internet to update.. check them one at a time by removing them, or turning the update off..

when in standby you should be losing around 1-2% an hour.

The other thing that causes significant drain is 3G/GPRS IF.. you are on the edge of a coverage area - my house is mainly on GPRS, but occasionally I get 3G/HSDPA.. and this constant flipping between data types knackers the battery so I've set mine to GPRS only when at home.

Cheers.
[XPERIA X10 General] rkanwar:
I have no live widgets just shortcuts and the digital clock. Ive turned of 3g now for some reason when i have my sim card which is not used a lot apart from internet use i have good battery lasting me all day.

I say semi because you need a laptop or any computer that can interpret the buttons you press on the game pads to your phone. You'll also need a copy of XPadder or some joystick software on your computer for the gamepad. Now if you combine these with say a netbook or mini-pc and a wireless controller such as the wiimote, XBox 360 or PS3 wireless remotes, you can control the games anywhere you have access to your phone and computer. It works without lag unlike in his video, probably because his phone couldn't handle the emulator too well. Of course, if you already have a computer on hand, the question becomes, why don't you just play it on your computer?

[Fascinate General] kimbrian88:
Sorry guys, I've BEEN searching and tried those methods but nothing has worked.

So I've had nothing else to do but ask.

I've completely FUBAR'ed my phone. I tried to update to DJ05 using ODIN and something went wrong and it messed everything up.

Only screen I can successfully get into is the Downloading screen or I get the bricked screen via the phone -- triangle -- computer.

As of now I just want my phone up and working, stock if I have to. Forget about root if I need to.

I try to use ODIN to restore the stock files, I put the stock PIT and also the stock system .mbr file that's in the Restoring using ODIN thread, and it doesn't work. Just fails and says failed to write.

What do I do? I just want my phone to be useable! Someone please help me.

Step through step guide? Am I using ODIN wrong?
[Fascinate General] thatdudebutch:
You're using the forums wrong by mucking up the Dev section with a help me thread. ;/
[Fascinate General] iceman1183:
Well if you flashed the DJ05 modem under "Phone" in odin, you now have an expensive paperweight.

If that's not the case, try the "Full DI01 ODIN Package" posted on this forum by adrynalyne. It's a 1 stop for restoring you back to complete stock.

Should i flash the STOCK JK6 Kernel from ROM MANAGER?

I've heard a jk6 makes your battery last more...

I'm also wondering what a kernel actually is, and what it does?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
can someone guide me? i'm new to this whole KERNEL thing.

Also i do have voodoo installed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holiday5804:
The kernal is the modem for your phone. It basically comes down to which one you like best. I am running Nero V3 with the the JL4 and the battery life has been good. Some say the best for battery life is JK6 though, although the signal strength will propbably be a little lower than the newer ones. You can flash these through clockwork, just download it and flash it just like you did the rom. I ran both JL1 and JK6 with Axura and both worked well for me.

ALSO, I KNOW YOU HAVE TO DISABLE VOODOO TO FLASH A ROM SO TO BE SAFE I WOULD DO THAT BEFORE FLASHING THE MODEM TOO. I don't use voodoo, so can't say for sure if you would have to disable just to flash te kernal, but it would be a good idea to disable just in case.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daft Templar:
Hello!

I recently purchased a HTC Desire HD through a carrier in Australia after being a nokia dumbphone owner for my "connected life". I have done some reading into the Custom ROM scene and I am loving the potential benefits and modifications that are possible with them, however being new to Android, new to Smartphones and new to Custom Roms I am to say the least a little confused.

I decided this carrier added bloatware just has to go and after a little reading I like the idea of LeeDrOiD HD v1.2.

I have attempted to follow the instructions in the Leedroid HD thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842802

Which tells me i Need to flash.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842819

Which in turn tells "You will need the ENG HBOOT installed on your device to flash this recovery!"

and of course I could not find any details on what ENG HBOOT is let alone how to install it.

How deep does the rabbit hole go Alice? The multiple tears are becoming confusing and complicated and I am wondering if this is just a LeeDroid thing, or are these steps necessary for all custom roms? Or just the Desire HD. I am fairly confident with the safety of replacing a rom but the more steps by more people are adding uncertainty in the safety of the whole procedure and of course raising the probability of an under informed and maybe slightly reckless newby to brick a perfectly acceptable phone.

Is anyone able to reccomend a resource to better acquaint a Newby with this new territory? Is thier a more comprehensive guide to installing LeeDroid or "Rom-ing" an android phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Hi,

Give me a few minutes to pull together a few guides for you.

This Guide with Video is very helpful at performing all the little tasks that allow you to flash custom ROMs.

In short the ENG HBOOT allows the flashing of an unsigned recovery "Clockwork Mod", which then allows you to flash custom ROMs. Flashing the ENG HBOOT is a one time process, once you have done it there is no need to do it again.

Just a few questions,

1). Do you have a Stock HTC Unbranded & Unlocked ROM or a Carrier Branded ROM?

2). Have you rooted you DHD yet?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
This is the way I personally went about the whole process, its a guide that zexbig posted and can be found HERE

-Visionary is now v14+, not 12 as posted.

If you have any problems, just let us know.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daft Templar:
Quick Response thanks!

It is unfortunatly a Carrier Branded rom. Full of widgets that are just links to webpages. What is even worse is I bought my phone through a company who leases lines off the carrier so because I am technically not with the carrier I can't use their aps even if i wanted to.

I believe I have temp rooted it so far. I have downloaded VISIONary +
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daft Templar:
Epic.. Thank you kindly. I am in the process.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
I don't understand why carriers have to ruin the whole "Android Experience" by bundling awful apps that nobody wants, otherwise they would of downloaded them themselves.

The last guide I posted is the one I used. Once you have followed all of the steps then your in a position to flash a custom ROM. If you are planning to overclock or underclock then you will also need to find a suitable "Kernel" to flash with your ROM. Most ROMs do come complete with a custom kernel but that may not be the best for your particular needs.

Once bit of advice. Always, always a backup of your ROM before you flash anything else.

Flashing custom ROMs is easy once the above steps are complete.

1). Download your chosen ROM.

1a). Optional Download your chosen Kernel.

2). Transfer ROM (+ Kernel) to your SD Card, place in the root of the card.

3). Boot into Recovery. Power off (Ensure HTC Fast Boot is disabled), Power on whilst holding VOL DOWN, using volume keys select Recovery, press power to enter.

4). Create Backup, backup and restore > backup.

5). Wipe All Data including cache

6). Install .zip from SD Card, Select the correct ROM zip and confirm.

7). Optional, repeat with Kernel, if necessary.

8). Reboot.

9). Bask in glory, you have conquered your smartphone.

Again, if you want more info feel free to ask. We all had to learn once, or twice.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daft Templar:
For Clarification on HBOOT loading.

2.2) Unzip it and copy it to Your SDCard (It's important that You have on Your SDCard root directory with name DHD and all files inside this directory.

(I have run into the strange problem for which I'm not sure is it problem with my PC or DHD, each time when I connected my DHD via USB cable my SDCard was automatically mounted as Disk Drive instead of just being in "Charge only" mode. I resolved this by removing back cover and ejecting SDCard and inserting it again while phone was operational, which is very unsafe thing to do!).

I do want to be viewing the Android device as a disk drive?

Secondly Do I create a folder on the SD card in the root directory called DHD and then drop the 3 files contained in the Zip file into that folder?

Example

Root Directory

>.data

>Alarms

>Android

>bugreports

>DCIM

>DHD --Newly created folder

>>DHD-dumb --dragged and dropped

>>DHD-smart --dragged and dropped

RTFM.txt --dragged and dropped

>downloads

etc..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Yes you do want to view it as a disk drive.

You are also correct with the folders.

SDCard/DHD/ - place files here -
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daft Templar:
Ok my description failed.

Instead of the folders listed above

">>DHD-dumb --dragged and dropped

>>DHD-smart --dragged and dropped

RTFM.txt --dragged and dropped"

should I be taking the contents of (smart or dumb?) and placing that in the DHD created directory?

obviously the commands in the terminal dont correspond to having the files in a sub folder. I appologise for you having to answer obvious questions however I am a little weary of bricking.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
I'd rather you post a question and get it answered before you post a problem and have an expensive paperweight.

Take the "DHD-smart" folder from wherever you extracted it, place that on your SD Card, then rename that folder to just "DHD".
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daft Templar:
Excellent. All Is working as planned. I'm in the process of D/L ing Leedroid rom.

Thanks for your help again.

I'll post back once I have things up and rolling.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
No problem at all.

Just remember to make a backup from within "Recovery", it will save you one day.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daft Templar:
I appologise I forgot to Post back.

Everything is running sweetly now, absolutley no bugs with the Root or new LeeRoid rom.

I am looking at a set of Skull Candy Mic'd headsets, with mic of course for my I9000M. However, when I plugged them in to try them, I seem to have only gotten 1 track of audio and no headset control to start or pause music.

I have not been able to see if the mic works in call or not however that is a moot point if they dont work for music.

Any way to change settings to accommodate these earbuds or a good decent set of inline mic headphones that do work with the SGS? I keep seeing posts about a nokia headset, but I have no idea how I would get them or if the quality is any good.

The Skull candy's fit freaking amazingly tho so it would be great if I could get these ones to work somehow.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] cicer0:
My roommate (who has SGS also) bought Wooden Skull Candy's headsets with mic, but they didn't work properly (sound was horrible - like randomly some channels were muting), the sound was only normal if you pressed the button on the wire and kept it pressed, so be careful buying those, definitely try them before buying.

He changed them for those without mic, which work okay.

I think it has to do with pin arrangement on the 3,5 jack on SGS (think it's the same as Nokia's).

edit: dammit I didn't read well, you bought them already
