[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] albertorodast2007:
Quoting someone smarter than me: Sense builds are based on HTC Sense, they're a lot more compatible with our little babies and have some good eyecandy, but are kinda large and slugish for the taste of some ppl, in the other hand, CM or any other non sense builds are based on open source projects, they are less stable (but deff not worthless to give them a try) they are lighter and faster, specially Cyanogen Mod builds. My two cents: give them both (sense no sense) a try and stick it with the one u like more! But remember not only sense makes a diff, kernels, radios, and even installation alternatives (RAM, SD, NAND) make a huge diff...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deckardbr09:
I would search around youtube and look at the htc desire or evo videos as well as stock android. That will give you a good idea of the differences at least visually of how they are different.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rainbow2112:
I do not like the color bars Android "smooth "

The colors of the bars can be customized like the sense? And if yes, how?

Many thanks in advance.

(PS: now use on my HD2 the build SuperRAM_FroYo_V1.5 )

You dont need a port, TouchWiz is simply a launcher and you can have it by installing a apk, there is a link on forum ir you search ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] domenukk:
Have you ever tried any samsung-android phone?

It's not just the launcher.

Its a different dialer etc.

also in the taskbar you have a power widget like in cyanogenmod...

and if you slide your finger over the notification bar, you can set your screen brightnes... ;)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keirnoth:
Hey guys, I'd like to know how to uninstall clockwork recovery from my T-Mobile G2 in case I need to bring my phone in for repair.

I know this is an FAQ, but the method to do it with each phone seem to vary slightly.

My T-Mobile G2 has the following:

Persoshoot's OC kernel

Stock post-OTA ROM with permroot

S-OFF

Latest Clockwork Recovery

What would be the easiest and most straightforward way to restore clockwork recovery back to stock (without nuking everything else in the process)? I see threads saying to run flash_image and flashing the OTA_bootv2 Recovery, but IIRC that program isn't installed on the stock ROM by default.

Your help would be greatly appreciated!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
If you used gfree to permroot and get radio s-off, you can just flash the pc10img.zip and it will take you back to stock completely: recovery, hboot, s-on, kernel, rom, etc.

If you did permroot by way of one of the old methods (visionary, rage, etc) you can still flash over the pc10img.zip, after some modifications. Refer to this thread on how exactly to do this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831398

If you have to do the latter, make sure you follow the instructions to the T so as to not end up with a paperweight.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
If you have the eng hboot and you have adb setup on your PC, then you can use fastboot to flash the stock recovery image (which you can extract from the stock PC10IMG.zip.

Sent from my HTC Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcues:
It never hurts to erase the recovery before you flash a new one... rather than flashing a new one in over top of the old one. Sometimes stuff breaks and thats one reason why.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keirnoth:
To get permroot, I initially used an old method, but then unrooted. The unroot method I used is actually what's shown in the post you linked to. After unrooting, I did permrooted the "clean" way (the one that's documented on the wiki) using rage to get temproot, then using gfree to do the rest.

Because I used gfree to permroot, I can simply flash pc10img.zip without any problems right? Without needing to hex-edit the misc.img version number to the previous version number? Can I simply rename it update.zip and the HBOOT bootloader will pick it up, or will I have to flash it from within Clockwork Recovery? Why is it safe to flash pci10img.zip if you used the gfree method?

I didn't install the engineering hboot since the instructions said I didn't really need it unless I was a developer.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Yes, that's right, except it shouldn't be called "update.zip", you want to call it "PC10IMG.zip" and place it on the root (top) folder of your SD card, then go into hboot where it should find it and ask if you want to flash it (give it a few seconds to open the file and check it first).

It is safe if you have full radio S-OFF via gfree, because that bypasses a lot of these checks, e.g. the "version is older" check, and also because when it flashes the stock hboot you will still have S-OFF.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoochiezz24:
It seems as though the OP has had his question answered but I'm also wondering the same question. I have gotten full root by the rage method. What do I do in my situation to get back to stock recovery while maintaining s-off and root. I actually just want to calibrate my battery and go back to clockwork
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
Lithium Ion batteries cannot be calibrated. There is no need. They dont have a memory like older battery types did, for example, nickel cadiums.

If at all possible, all you would be doing is retraining your phone with that process, not the battery. It is bad for li-ion batteries to be ran completely empty and it is not recommended if you care about the longevity of the battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoochiezz24:
Thanks for your reply. I was told by someone that flashing your phone while it is plugged in kinda throws the battery off. I have noticed extremely short battery life after making this mistake so I thought it was needed. Would you still recommend doing it train the phone itself tho? I mean, my battery life is ridiculously short. Like six hours and my battery always depletes while I'm asleep.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sesgv13:
Alright I just rooted my bros brand new evo right out of the box

for some reason when i install an AOSP Rom I keep getting a 1x connection no 3g.

if anybody could help that would be great

His has the 2.10 hboot

everything works on a sense rom but when i install a AOSP rom (CM or MIUI) no 3g

please get back to me asap
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Toggle airplane mode. Does it come on and then switch to 1X? Make a nandroid backup and switch to a sense rom if you have a backup. Once in the sense rom update prl and profile.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydeebee24:
im having the same problem on MIUI, 3g doesnt come on at all after toggling airplane mode, i even went to a sense rom and updated profile and prl. as well as completely reactivating the phone, the 3g just wont stay on, and ive yet to find a fix for it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
It is possible that you've never had 3G. On the stock rom, the EVO always shows the 3G icon even if you aren't connected to 3G.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
+1. On sense ROMS, it always shows 3g, if the data connection is turned on. It is only capable of showing 3g, even if you aren't actually connected to it. In the newer AOSP ROMs, they have the capability to show what you are ACTUALLY connected to at the time, so the AOSP rom is showing you the truth, what you're actually connected to, while the Sense ROM is lying to you, showing that you're always connected to 3g, when in fact, you're not. Flash the sense ROM that shows you're on 3g. Run a speedtest a few times, see what your avg download and upload speed are. Flash over to the AOSP rom, and repeat the same test. I bet they are the same or extremely similar, even though one shows you're on 3g, and the other shows 1x.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
No, what is happening is that the AOSP roms DO NOT have the kernel for the new hardware, this is why you are getting no 3g. Go back to the latest sense and wait.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Like the guys said above is because of sense only showing 3G which is really dumb, like at my house I get 4 out of 6 bars in sense and only 2 out 4 in aosp roms and still has the same speed and not problem with phone calls , go out and check if 3G ever comes on and make sure your are is cover by 3G coverage
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydeebee24:
im on older hardware and the 3g turns on, but when i switch to wifi or turn of the 3g the 3g wont turn back on. ive read all about how the 3g icon and all that is different than on a sense rom but im literally not getting any 3g connection.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SgtUSMC:
I've been running CM7 since it was being compiled by lithid. At some point my 3G broke and I tried to ask for help but never could find a complete answer. At some point someone said the words "##data#" and "call sprint." Below is a step by step guide to what I did to fix 3G and it's been working through numerous wipe/flashes since. If someone already posted this information I apologize. This has worked for me and at least one other person that I know of, so hopefully it doesn't ruin anyone's phone.

1. Download MSL Reader from market, run it and write down results.

2. Nandroid current rom.

3. Flash cauklins format all

4. Flash latest rooted OTA (I found one in the wiki)

5. Boot OTA (I skipped all of the google login/set up stuff)

6. Enter ##3282# (##data#) in to the dialer.

7. Menu will popup select "Edit Mode"

8. Enter MSL when it asks for password.

9. Tap "Data Profiles"

10. Tap Menu button, then "Restore"

11. Phone will reboot in 10 seconds or you can click ok.

12. Hands free activation will come up shortly after phone reboots, then PRL update and Firmware update. (It found no frimware updates I think because I used the latest OTA) Let it process all.

13. Power phone off.

14. Boot to bootloader (hold power + vol down)

15. Select recovery.

16. Flash format all again.

17. Nand restore.

18. Enjoy working 3g.

I did all this the first time on the phone with sprint. As soon as I booted the OTA I had 3g again, I just told them it was broken and they gave me the steps. I just did it all again while typing this to verify that it works rather than try to rely on my memory of what i did.

Hope this helps. I also did the ##gpsclrx# while I had that sprint garbage installed.

If these are instructions to seriously break your phone, can someone who knows better than me please correct me. So far I've had no problems, other than fixed 3G

[Wildfire General] Soulquarian33:
Hi guys,

I've tried using unrevoked 3.3 on my wildfire, with android 2.1, didn't work - so I tried 3.2 and I got the ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 on there, I can boot into that now,

But still not knowing how to root it,

Can someone give me some advice from here, I get the "Internal error" message and can't go any further, but I assume you can manually do it, since I've got the clockworkmod recovery on there,

Toby =)
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
if you have clockworkmod recovery then that means you rooted it, just put a custom rom onto your sd card, boot into recovery and install zip from sd card. do a nandroid backup of your rom first.
[Wildfire General] Soulquarian33:
When I try using Titanium Backup, I get a failed message...
[Wildfire General] Soulquarian33:
Okay, I installed busy box and it says it rooted, does the clockworkmod matter what version you have? :-)
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Nope, you should be fine.
[Wildfire General] Soulquarian33:
Thank you, I'll let you know how it goes, is Wildpuzzle rom trustworthy? It's been around for awhile right? =)
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Yeah wildpuzzle is good, I used to use it.
[Wildfire General] Soulquarian33:
I had abit of a freak out, I wiped my phone then couldn't load any custom rom =( But now its loading, hoping it works...
[Wildfire General] Soulquarian33:
I don't know if the rom is loading or not, the screen with the android symbol coming out of the box showed up now and white backgroud with the "HTC quietly brilliant" animation seems to be sitting there forever,

I installed the SUnAaBh v1.1** rom from sc card,

Does this seem right?
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
First boot takes 10 to 15 min.

You should have done a nandroid backup of your stock rom first, oh well.

If it doesn't boot, do a full wipe, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache in recovery and flash again.
[Wildfire General] Soulquarian33:
After like 2 or 3 minutes, the screen goes black then the HTC logo screen comes back on and loads again, makes me think its in a loop and no installed right =\
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Do a full wipe and try flash again. If it doesn't work, try a different rom.
[Wildfire General] Soulquarian33:
Yeah, I did a back up with nandroid then moved the files to my computer incase, they was in a folder called orangeworkmod folder?,

Wipe cache?
[Wildfire General] argeoff:
Yes, you should wipe data and cache before installing a new rom. They are all there in recovery.
[Wildfire General] Soulquarian33:
Okay, yeah - its all good, was just taking time, does wildpuzzle rom have overclocking feature, or is that a application?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mftek1:
I believe you need s-off with perm root. Or else the apps will come back each time you restart. But dont quote me on this
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slhpss:
don't need perm root... if you have S=Off and temp root you can do

adb remount

or open a terminal and do

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

Then remove any offending .apk files from /system/app. Upon rebooting, you will no longer have rw access to system and you won't be rooted either, but the programs will be gone. You may want to go the simpler route of temp rooting and installing Titanium Backup then uninstalling them through that.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayprime:
Thanks for the response. Im pretty sure I have S=off because ive got titanium backup and cashe mate installed and both ask and have recieved super user permision.

3 days and still going

After three days battery life I wimped out and plugged in the charger. Just to be clear though, I'm not a power user and mainly use the NS as a phone (3-4 calls a day) and to read emails (again 3-4 emails a day). I also find myself occasionally experimenting and trying out apps. But bottom line, this morning I had 3 days and .... minutes on my battery with it at 24%. That's as good or better than any cellular I've ever had.

[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Huh? Not sure what you're trying to accomplish with the fanboys link...the iPhone has been able to do screen shots, UNROOTED/JAILBROKEN for a couple of years now. Press and hold Home & Sleep key...screen shot taken. Advantage on this one: Apple.

Anyways, I'm not going to tell someone to root their phone and wipe all their data just so they can take a screen shot for me. On the other hand, I can't imagine not owning a rooted phone, personally...ability to do screen shots is among the reasons.
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
to be honest I didn't know (or care) iphones could do screenshots, but really it was a random bash at icooners more than anything.

...back to my post, I was just "informing" another way, besides sdk, how to take a screenshot....not insisting that the person root;)

Three Day Plus Battery

OK guys, here's snaps of my standard NS 3 day+ battery. I apologize for the crappy photos (and I'm a photo buff) but I'd already put the battery on charge when I realized how bad they were. Long story short 3D 58M ..S without redlining the battery.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
Are you trying to say the battery lasts a long time? You turned on wifi and didn't touch the phone and left it in an area with perfect cell reception... I'm sure I could get mine to last 5 days or so doing that. By the looks of it, your phone has some serious issues with waking while asleep. There's a LOT of usage for the phone's screen not being on, that would be alarming to me.

How come display is not on the list?

Did you even use your phone?
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:

[Nexus S General] distortedloop:

Yeah, very clearly never used the phone or display would be the top consumption, or at least somewhere visible on the first screen there.
