And what's up with radio, sd-card, wm rom and such stuff?

Pretty subjective post and not really helpfull.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rasih5503:
My radio 2.15

windows version 3.14

latest window version from HTC

first downloaded mdeejays and then extracted

then downloaded latest kernal from hasterin then copied into andriod .

thats it.best performance
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pittas:
imho its a useless post.

Best performance is very subjective

Besides , speaking of performance , ram version roms are on top , and thats not subjective
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chn110:
Spb TV does not work though. Have you tried it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rurph:
what is the battery drain is standby with current widget? cheers
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rasih5503:
I am heavy user with lots of wiget running plus data is always on .Having fully charged in the morning,it lasted all day without single charge.But other builds lasted only couple of hours.forget about SPB TV. you will always find some app will not work on any builts even in native android.but What i am saying is about good perfomance. try it feel it.just small piece of advice try before say something.:p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] PENKO956:
how long did you try the build until you reached your conclusion. 30min? 1hr? day? all builds work different for some people than others depending on winrom, radio, kernel, sdcard, apps installed, etc...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tdizzle404:
So what is it? whats the best build combo?Cause it seems to me that nothing is complete? Don't get me wrong their are some talented people here doing putting some incredible builds together and Ive tested a lot of them, but still cant seem to find that one build that could be used for long term daily use.Has any one else?

Ive searched a lot of threads and tried a lot of suggestion and not any real luck

what im using now seems to be pretty good but at times i have location and data drops and no mms.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pr0x2:
I am using mccm 3.4 for weeks now without any problem. Other builds would crap out on me after few days of use. Just saying.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
I have CR192 DESIRE HD as winmo rom, radio 2.15.50 and I'm running motoman evo carbon remix .06 and I have a great performing setup, I usually unplug my phone around 3am to go to work and by the time I go to bed around 8pm I usually still have around 15% on moderate use. I've been using this setup with a couple of different motoman builds as a daily driver for 5 weeks without using winmo at all. Honestly is all on phone to phone basis. No matter how much you try the same setup might not work the same for two different phones. The hardware is not 100% identical on every phone, that's why it never behaves the same, that's why there's always people saying they're having an issue while others aren't.

So pretty much I'm saying that while you think your setup is the best, others might not have the same result as you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jcsy:
what a horrible thread, lol :D

anyways, i dont have the crazy amount of times to test multiple builds and you probably got your findings wrong

i am using MDJ 4.6 Desire HD and its good, but not great

it has its flaws and issues

today I just got a corrupted SD card with many files with weird names in them

i have tested the Darkstone RAM build, didnt like anything without Sense

i have tested MIUI , its blazing fast but the fact that it looks like iphone, bleh

your statements are subjective and totally unmeasurable
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FrAsErTaG:
Why is this in the dev section?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vikas.grover@yahoo.com:
Well the intention behind the thread is alright..Anyways, I am testing Gingerbread RAM V1.0 by MDJ and am getting less than 1% battery drain/hour which is the best I have experienced in 3months of trying various builds and it's rooted so SetCPU works. However, lots of other apps including Facebook are not working..I guess in time MDJ will show the way..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vikas.grover@yahoo.com:
And I have 2.15 Radio, HTC latest ROM and HSPL
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pablo71:
Mccm3.4 and mdj4.6 with non-newest-hastarin kernels are two build I will vouch for as daily drivers.

But no build is as reliable as a build with a .zip backup of itself on internal memory for speedy unzipping to sdcard.

I am running darkstones superram 1.5 now and loving it, and am looking forward to mdj's ram gingerbread rc5 when it comes out tonight or tomorrow.

On all these builds I named I see '6-9ma' standby battery drain a lot, 19ma sometimes.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vicky771:
i am using Motoman234_Desire_PCB_Sense_V1.0 work perfect all software work and installed fast and stable good back up
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheiPhoneKiller:
Anougher opinionated thread,this might work for you but might not be so good for someone else,its mostly down to personal preffrence but if you want a good Desire HD build then yeah its a good combo :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 2happy:
Fishing for the best build

to begin with i have used radio 2.15.50 with wwe 3.14 original rom htc update,battery drainage was too high on windows and also android build,80% was the ram usage.so i have downgraded to wwe 1.66 and only upgraded the radio 2.15.50.i have been using MDJ REVOLUTION HD WITH HASTARIN 8.5.3 and its brilliant for daily usage.with moderate use, battery life is excellent.to me this is the best combination.i have also tried all other builds but i remained with this one.because its brilliant with animations and the lot.

one of our member has started this thread just to find out what he can use for his phone without trying other builds,because its easier for him to find out this way rather than doing himself.its not that he managed to find the best combination,HIS FISHING FOR THE BEST COMBINATION FROM THE OTHER MEMBERS.he will probably say he has tried all the other builds:))
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] topderob:
Not too be pee'ing you guys against the leggs.. but i'm using the same config now. for about 5 days and omfg.. this one really works! battery stands for a whole day while data always on. ( with gps always on about 14 hours before its drained )

no dropouts, no bull**** with ppp. no legs en a pretty good bench points.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tdizzle404:
what the combo @ the beginning of the thread?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hilaireg:
The challenge with these types of threads is that they quickly go off-topic. As previously stated in a few posts above, best performance/rom is very subjective.

For example;

a radio version may not function as well for everyone as there may be too much distance between towers causing excessive chatter which in turn may reduce the battery expectancy.

the carrier equipment in the region may not have been updated to support the enhanced functionality provided by the radio.

incompatibility of the radio with the device hardware revision.

... on-and-on. When creating these types of threads, it's important to consider what type of empirical information will be required.

Thread closed.
[Defy General] efpob:
anyone any idea how to make the Motoblur contact names the ones that appear by default.

I uploaded a .vcf from my old Sony Ericsson with all the proper names to motoblur, then linked certain contacts with the twitter built in thing.

So if the name was Marc in the phonebook, now it takes the twitter name of marco1999
[Defy General] MarSOnEarth:
The Contacts app makes the right choices most of the time, but it also has a mind of it's own in how it decides what to name the resulting linked contacts. All things being equal, the currently viewed contact is being linked to another contact and it assumes that contact's name. Simple enough, unless the linked to contact does not have an email, or web site URLs, AND the viewed contact does, in which case the resulting contact will assume the name of the currently viewed contact (the one that's being linked to the other contact).

I got my contacts linked from 7 different places, and some of the contacts would have just a phone #, some just a website URL, and so on. The only way to reign in the order (names) I wanted that I resorted to was to keep unlinking, then renaming some contacts and then re-linking them back again. It took some manual work, but not as much as I feared, and maybe there's a simpler way, but this is what worked for me.

Good luck.
[Defy General] efpob:
thanks for that, unfortunately, no matter what I do, it always takes the twitter name for profiles. I think maybe it's because Twitter is the picture source for contacts. I tried adding a picture to the phone contact, but the twitter name still overrides it.

In contact edit, there's even a nickname function - I hoped this would take precedence over everything, but unfortunately not!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
IT WORKS! :) Installation via xRecovery.

Here's a mod of the AOSP ROM. What I've basically done is added a Gingerbread theme, add some Gingerbread apps and a few other things. It's based on version 008a of the AOSP ROM.

I don't have a Xperia anymore, but if people are willing to post some screenshots, I'd dearly appreciate that and include them in the OP.

If you like my work, you could consider buying me a beer:

Screenshots included :)

I am not responsible for bricking your device! Your doing this all on your own risk. Please report the bugs via PM and do not post them in the thread.

Download links:

Version 2.2:

Modified the Phone app, some other stuff. The menu-text is grey (I stole the correct .xml file from a Desire Z ROM), statusbar-background is black. Everything should just look a little more fancy.

http://www.mediafire.com/?n01dve9z1hw6cwo

Version 2.01:

Gone forever.

Version 2:

Modified the status-bar, framework-res.apk to look a little more like Gingerbread.

http://hotfile.com/dl/92665523/d29b00f/2.1_Gingerbread_v2fixed.zip.html

OK it should be working again. The problem was probably services.jar

Tadaaaa!

Version 1:

http://hotfile.com/dl/92341597/68ba217/2.1_Gingerbread.zip.html

Bugs:

HTC_IME doesn't work for some reason, needs to be installed manually.

Camera drivers aren't fully implemented yet.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
Reserved for future use.

Changelog:

Added the correct .zip of the ROM

Made it function :P

Added icons, deleted apps.

Todo:

-Add, customize and remove certain apps

-Get the text back in the menus :P
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] LouNGeRR:
I sent a PM because the ZIP file isn't working for xRecovery (there's an extra folder in it).

So I repacked the ZIP to have "system" in the ZIP's root and now it loads/flashes fine from xRecovery.

It's just that this ROM doesn't boot at all, tried installing/wiping twice, it's just stuck on the SE screen.

Thought this might be an important bug to post.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vodaben:
Can you post some screenshots?

Cuz. I'm in HK and I have slow speed in downloading files from hotfiles

Thanks~
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] laill:
I am from HK too,but the download speed is not too slow.

Also,you can use preminium ac searched from google
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] LouNGeRR:
ROM doesn't boot at the moment, I recommend to wait with downloading.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
It completely works. I'll fix the menus later, but they're still usable, the text in the menu (from the menu-button) just doesn't appear, but that's where icons are for.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sakyra:
which files need to change to change the font? Change those that SE is constantly rebooting
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
What do you mean? Is the phone rebooting? Seems quite strange to me, the AOSP ROM doesn't do that either?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sakyra:
I replaced the fonts on DroidSans-Bold.ttf and droidsans.ttf and the phone was constantly rebooting
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sakyra:
well I really like your ROM
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
You shouldn't have. Not all fonts work on Android and they can cause your phone to reboot constantaneously.

If you know how to work with adb, issue this command:

adb push /directory/where/you/placed/the/original/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf /system/fonts
adb push /directory/where/you/placed/the/original/fonts/droidsans.ttf /system/fonts

If I remember it well, this should work.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zyryck:
Does this means we can't use the camera with it yet or there is just f/c close in adv. settings like the custom from j&z ?

And could you please tell me which gingerbread apps you implemented ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
It's based on the AOSP ROM, so it has the same issues. I don't know what the exact problem is in that ROM, but it's the same as in this one.

The Gingerbread apps:

Launcher

Youtube

Cardock

And more, but I accidentally forgot :P
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ballubas:
does the camera and audio work?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
Audio: Yes

Camera: Advanced Settings don't, the basic app does, I believe. The camera issues are the same as the AOSP ROM from jerpelea and zdzihu.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pedrocel85:
Hey bro,

Plz remove your links and re-do you rom without lancher pro.

Its a paid aplication and this website doesnt suppor warez.

Im reporting this topic to the forun rules braking.

Do the right thing and respect xda foruns.

Moderators:

Plz close his topic and remove the links!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
Hell, I didn't know!

I'll remove it - ADW.Launcher seems great too.

Edit:

Launcher Pro ain't paid! The paid version is a donate version, you can download the .apk of Launcher Pro on the site.

You may download the Launcher Pro .apk from the official site, that means it isn't illegal :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The-Lord:
@pedrocel85

Ignorance is Bliss. If you dont know about which apps are paid and which are not then dont come and post.

@topic

Nice Rom. Will test it out. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
V2 is out. It are primarely UI changes, to look more like Gingerbread. The statusbar + icons have been modded, for example.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vodaben:
Where is the link?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ballubas:
is it with the normal 2.1 aosp lock screen??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
Yes.

The link is back again!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vbakker:
Rom doenst boot at all. tried differend things including full wipe before install
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] LouNGeRR:
v2 doesn't boot for me either, I'm trying the first boot at this very moment.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
Damn, revert back to v1. I'll try to fix what's broken, even though I don't have any idea. Maybe it has something to do with services.jar
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
It's working again. Services.jar was acting strange.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zyryck:
Hey there

Could you please change the color of the legends when you press the menu key (The left key, not the one in the middle) because when you want to select something you can't see what it is except the logo of it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
Can be fixed, but I'm having a hard time finding the right .xml file.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zyryck:
Maybe ask XperiaX10iUser as he created a lot of themes, I'm sure he knows which one you have to modify.

Because I'm liking quite everything except this, would be nice if the legends were in gray or white.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
It's fixed, the text should be grey/white now.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zyryck:
Nice ! But is it possible to update it without losing my settings, apps ect... ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
Not completely sure. I guess so, but don't shoot me if you do lose your settings etc.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zyryck:
Can't you please send me just the files you updated please, because if I update the whole pack it will erase everything actually.

Thank you !
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
Of course, hang on.

I'll PM it to you in a minute.

Do you know how to push it to your phone?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zyryck:
Hmm I'm not sure how to do this so if you would mind telling it me (I have to use adb right?) I would avoid risking to mess with my phone. Thanks :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
Pushing framework-res.apk

adb push c:\android\framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zyryck:
Ok it was what I was thinking but wasn't sure. Thank you again !

Edit : Tells me permission denied and when I type in adb shell and then su to give me all access it says adb : not found.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
You have debugging on, and root access?

Type

'adb devices', do you see your device listed there?

edit: You could also do it with busybox. Copy the file to the root of your SD-card, then type in busybox:

'su'

'cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/'

I believe that was the right command.

SU NEEDS TO BE ISSUED FIRST!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zyryck:
Yes I do it is there and root access is also made on my phone as for debugging.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
See my last post. You can also do it with busybox. If you don't have it (I believe I included it in my ROM), download it from the Market.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mmarjan:
It works for me and rom is very. Good but it has one issue. The font color is black (can i change it and if i can how) or its just like that.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
I thought I changed that. Oh, wait, that was for the menus. Do you see grey text in the menus? Could you provide me four screenshots? One of the homescreen, one of the homescreen with the menu popped out, one of the status bar dragged down and one of the app-list?

For which text do you want a different color?

edit:

Five screenshots, also one of the phone app.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mmarjan:
What format should be screenshots cant upload .png from xda app
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mmarjan:
i think i attached it now?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
Thanks bro, have you got one of the Phone app as well? I want the dialer screen.

I thought I changed the font color of the menus, but I'll check it again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kishen80:
hai. 2.1Gingerbread_v2.2.zip not booting.its stuck on bootscreen.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
Wait a sec, I´m trying to find the error.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zyryck:
I couldn't make the screenshot as when I pushed the framework it made my phone constant boot loop.

Tell me if you still need some I'd be glad to help you.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
Yes, the correct .zip will be back in 10 minutes, I'd like you to make just general screenshots, a walkthrough of the whole OS, could you do that for me? You can upload them (not as a .rar, I hate those! I'm on Ubuntu, which doesn't natively support .rar files), than send the link to me via PM.

Edit:

The new file is up!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zyryck:
Well I installed the 2.2 version from Xrecovery and it get stucked on the Android Freedom boot image.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
Please try 2.01

I based 2.2 on 2.01, so if 2.01 works, I know that the problem is with 2.2
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zyryck:
2.01 also gives me the same problem. Screen get stuck at Android Freedom bootscreen
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
Alright, alright. Everyone back to 2.0, I'll have a look at it this evening.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
OK, V2.2. is back online. The phone app still looks fancy, statusbar is completely black (the statusbar background as well), menu text is grey. Fancy, eh?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sakyra:
You check yourself before you publish? He still will not boot
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kishen80:
ya u r right...the same problem,stuck on bootscreen
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
I don't have any idea what it could be this time. But I'm not going to fix it today, today I'm going to party. Tomorrow I'll have a huge hang-over. Maybe sunday or monday.

edit:

No, I don't check the files. I don't have an Xperia anymore.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
Should be working now. I signed framework-res.apk and Phone.apk

Don't shoot me if it still fails.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] frost866:
dude still not working.stuck at freedom screen .
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
I don't understand it anymore.

As said before, I'll have a look at it sunday - or monday, don't know. I don't have a goddamn idea what could possibly be wrong.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
I've uploaded a new file. If it still doesn't work, please do 'adb logcat' while it's booting, than forward the file to me. The logcat is always useful :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] LouNGeRR:
I've tried 'adb -d logcat' ( -d waits for device ) but it never shows up, well not with previous version at least. Btw, do you think it's a good idea to put 4 launcher APKs in there?

Sent from my SNES using Mario Paint
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
I wasn't sure if it worked, but it has been reported working on another ROM (can't remember which, though)

In theory you can put an unlimited amount of Launcher .apk's on your device. I've made some radical changes in the new version, and it really should be working. Otherwise, I'm heading straight into a depression.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kishen80:
bro iam goin to try now...hope it works

edit : bro bad news still the same,stuck on the bootscreen.dont give up try.GOOD LUCK. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
And v2.0, does that work? If it does, I'll have to look manually what things I exactly changed. Man, I hate to do that, but I'm afraid I'll have to :P

Edit:

Wait, v2 was working, I know a way to find out if framework-res.apk is the issue, I'm PM'ing you the .apk file, than you've got to do: "adb push C:\dir\where\you\put\the\file\framework-res.apk /system/framework"
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] droidier:
i just installed this rom and even i got stuck at the freedom bootscreen...i am coming to this rom from Eternity003
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
Yeah, you could have read that earlier in the topic. V2.0 works.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
WTH? There was a whole bunch of semc .xml files I didn't want there. Plus that there were to much icons in drawable-hdpi. And I've modified services.jar so that you can actually read what's in the statusbar :P

I'm currently working on the menus.

Download link:

http://www.mediafire.com/?n01dve9z1hw6cwo
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mmarjan:
damn man you just cant get lucky!!!

it stucks on boot logo.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Haque:
Hi! Has anybody tried the above stated version? Any feedbacks please.

I am downloading it for a try. Will come up with my experience of this version.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] frost866:
Dude i dont really know why your rom not working

but you did all you best to release it.i think if you modify the old version should be good.this is just a suggestion.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Haque:
Hi! dear,

I tried too but no success. I second the above comments.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
I'm working at least 1-2 hours a day on it. It's just so strange...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thijs96:
http://www.mediafire.com/?qkg521ez196anr5

Took the files from v2. Modified the statusbar, actually I just made it readable. Not by myself, some precompiled tool did the job. Compiled .xml files are quite hard to do.
