If you have unrevoked forever you can easily get root back from ota updates.
[EVO 4G General] xfullmetal17:
Would it be on the safe side to unroot before accepting an OTA update? Then wait the couple weeks for unrevoked forever to update?
[EVO 4G General] indagroove:
Sounds like a bad idea to me. Check out the unrevoked wiki for how to deal with ota's.
[EVO 4G General] xfullmetal17:
Never mind, like it was said I can just wait the ten seconds for a rooted ROM to show up
[EVO 4G General] live2ride96:
Actually, chances are pretty good that you'll find rooted gb roms here on xda before you get the ota notice.
[EVO 4G General] kd0axs:
Yes, I think this happened with the last couple updates. The devs here has rooted versions available to flash before Sprint pushed out the OTA.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowman7:
Does anyone know how to upgrade the PRI version on the Incredible. I have an AMOLED Incredible and my friend just bought a SLCD Incredible. Sitting side by side running a speed test, his phone is almost twice as fast as mine. Looking at the settings the only difference I can see is the PRI versions are different. Mine is 1.28_002 and his is 1.70_002. Does anyone know if this could be the reason why his is faster or perhaps it could be something else? If so, does anyone know how to update the PRI version?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
I would also like to know how to do this, and what the latest stock verizon pri for the incredible is? I would also like to know if pri's are different for each verizon phone or just the same pri for the entire verizon network.

Sorry if this sound dumb im kimda a noob.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawn328:
I updated mine by dialing *228 and choosing option 2
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
I am pretty sure *228 only updates the PRL not the PRI, But i could be wrong. Anyone else know if this is true or not?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawn328:
well I was averaging 2 bars were I live with really slow data and lost signals on calls. Did the *228 with option 2 . Now I get full bars and excellent service. My pri is 1.70_002 and prl is 52169. So I'm assuming it worked.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
You are correct. It would seem that the member you quoted is mistakenly thought the topic was in regards to the PRL rather than the PRI.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedleHed:
Me too!

I would also like to know how to update the PRI. My PRL is up to date after a *228, but PRI is still at 1.28_002.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmmike:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485

since the evo radios work on our phones i wonder if anything else is compatible.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedleHed:
I'm skeptical that the EVO PRI would be compatible. Seems like the PRI and PRL are more unique to the specific wireless carrier.

I may be wrong, but I won't be the first to find out if it doesn't work.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedleHed:
Anybody....

It's looking like nobody has an answer for this question. Maybe I'm a little impatient. :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rynosaur:
I doubt EVO PRI files would even flash; they are specific to the device. Anyhow, if you look on the EVO forums it seems a lot of people who manually updated their PRIs experienced data connectivity issues, so I wouldn't sweat it. I just returned a reconditioned AMOLED Dinc that had PRI 1.50, and compared to my first and current AMOLED DInc (which have 1.28), it wasn't any better or worse. Wikipedia seems to suggest that PRI is network resource control, although I didn't find anything specific to CDMA networks. If anything, I would bet it's the comm protocol compiled for specific chipsets' version/assembly date, thus the reason why various SLCD owners' have moderate --> High PRI version #s.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmmike:
I too would like to know if incredible users can upgrade their pri like the evo guys :)

I have found that following assorted devs for my Droid X helps keep me in the loop and thought a good list of NookColor devs would be convenient to have.

I don't know of any yet, if you do, reply with their twitter username and I'll try to get a list going.
[Epic 4G General] galaxysowner:
Ok, so when dk28 first came out, I got it from googles servers. I want to take my phone into sprint to exchange, having some battery issues and other problems not related to the known issues of dk28. My phone is not rooted as far as I know, running unmodified stock dk28 rom. Do I need to use odin and put my phon back to d18 before I bring it in, or does it not matter?

Don't want them blaming dk28 for my issues.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
It would probably be your best bet but probably half of the sprint employees wouldn't even know what rom you are on. I would just to be on the safe side. Like you said they could blame that on your problems.
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
Def take the dk28 off first. If they have to use any dialer codes or such from tech support the menus won't be the same. Taken that you get an employee that knows nothing they will probably figure out your on froyo and that will end your support. Use mybackuppro if you want to be able to restore froyo over 2.1.
[Epic 4G General] galaxysowner:
Thanks for the heads up, I put d18 back on, and when I brought it in, they specifically asked if I had rooted it or installed any custom roms, much to my surprise. All is we'll ad I have a new epic, just put dk28 back on.

I didn't see any other threads on the topic, I searched before I created, so I hope this might be able to help somebody else down the road. Thanks again xda community, you all rock.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
As usual, I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.

Requirements:

Rooted myTouch 4G

Android 2.2/2.3

Fingers

Brain

Root Explorer (or similar)

I had a request for a BIOS style boot animation in my splash screen thread. So here is what came up with. I used two different style animations as my base. The first came from frysee, whose N1 BIOS this was modified from. The other came from jeckyll. I used the same style as his animation for the HD2. Both have minor differences from the originals and of course they have the specs from our phones.* These are also very generalized so they can be used with any 2.2 ROM. Enjoy! :)

Instructions Android 2.2:

Copy/download the animation's zip to your SD card

Open Root Explorer

Rename the file to TMUS_bootanimation.zip (Only for stock/iced glacier. Name may change for other roms. CM 6 it should be bootanimation.zip)

Copy the animation to /system/customize/resources (don't forget to mount the resources folder as r/w before copying)

Done!

Instructions CM 7:

Copy/download the animation's zip to your SD card

Open Root Explorer

Copy the animation from your SD card to /system/media/ (don't forget to mount the media folder as r/w before copying)

Done!

Instructions for copying with Android Commander by neidlinger (see original post here / pictures are in original post)

You can test your animation by opening a command window and typing

adb shell

bootanimation

exit with Ctrl+C

(This can also be done through the terminal emulator, though I'm not sure how to exit. I tried it and had to use adb to reboot. So I don't recommend doing it this way! :D)

Also, with the second animation, there was a request for a splash screen that said loading. That is included here as well. Instructions for

flashing can be found in my thread for custom splash screens.

There is also a new splash screen that matches the CM 7 animation. Instructions to flash are the same.

Thanks to jayizzbakk for being my guinea pig for the Android 2.2 animations!

And thanks to macheteZen for all his input and testing for the CM 7 animation!

Downloads are available in the next post.

*If there are any mistakes on the specs of the phone, please let me know!!! I will gladly modify these that way they are perfect!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Here are the downloads.

The boot animation for CM 7 is named bootanimation.zip

CM7BIOSLoad.img is a splash screen for the CM7 animation.

All others are for Android 2.2

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:

Edit: It looks like you should just have to name it bootanimation.zip. Then copy/push it to /system/media. If this doesn't work let me know and I'll see what I can come up with.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] neidlinger:

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivan0550:
I installed for first time AXURA rom with Vodoo Lagfix..

It booted fine, and everything was good (sign, data, fast, stable)

But I always like to format both my internal and external SD Card when I flash a new rom, so I did.. and also I went to recovery and wiped all user data.

Now when I turn on the Vibrant, it shows the initial screen (Vibrant - Samsung) and then it load the boot up animation, but anything more happens...

Is normal to have to wait, was good to format and wipe having Voodoo Lagfix enabled? or did I mess everything? I can get to recovery mode.. But I want to learn if I did something wrong? What should I do now :confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
did you wipe/format before or after flashing??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivan0550:
I did it after flashing...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
it certainly sounds like wiping with voodoo running may have caused it, but im not entirely sure.

thats the only downside to running voodoo, is that its so damn touchy. ive learned (the hard way, many times) to pretty much disable voodoo before doing ANYTHING on my phone, in order to avoid problems like this.

you are going to have to reflash Axura and start from scratch. if that doesnt work, youll have to ODIN back to true stock 2.1, and then flash your ROM of choice.

Dont mess with Voodoo magic..........
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
This should have an "IF" at the end of it. Because you SHOULD mess with the voodoo if you want a faster phone. You just need to play carefully with it and disable before flashing (unless what you are flashing is also voodoo).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drewstein:
If you wipe after flashing it's not doing anything for you especially since Axura wipes during install. If anything, by not wiping first there may be something still stuck in there that affected the flash of the Rom.

I would boot into CW and re-flash Axura. When it's done just hit reboot and wait for it to load up.
[Streak 5 General] rvbarton:
Has anyone had any luck with using the Digital copies that are now coming out on DVD/Blu-ray combo packs, on their dell streaks?

I have tried using the WMA version on one, but my Streak will not play the WMA file. I haven't tried downloading an iPhone version, simply because I didn't want to waste another digital copy doing this.

Anyone doing this successfully? Please post how you are doing it. I'm sure many besides myself will be grateful.

Have a great day & happy new year!

P.S. I'm using DJ_Steve's 1.5.2 latest build, just installed it yesterday and it rocks!.
[Streak 5 General] zkyevolved:
I'm not sure if this helps but when I wanted to play divx movies I couldn't. I downloaded an apply called rock player. It works like a charm for any movie I rip or drag off the PC

Vplayer is a good app to watch dvdrip movies also. Subs are supported also. I also have rockplayer and I think both are equally good. :)

Sorry if this is the wrong section, but since its about a ROM..

After some hours of taking kitchens and trying to learn to cook ROM's myself, No ROM seemed to get passed the initial setup stage.. So I'm obviously going wrong somewhere... While I continue to read tutorials and learn more. I'm afraid I may brick my device by flashing a wrongly built ROM.

So until I learn the sacred art of cooking awesome ROM's I would like to ask:

Would be willing to cook a custom ROM for me?

I can send a donation(via Paypal) :)

If anyone would do this, here's how I'd like the ROM..

Base Idea:

WM6.5.3 or 6.5.5 (The fastest/most stable 6.5.x)

HTC Sense 2.5

Cookie Home Tab V2

Apps Included in the ROM:

QuickGPS

Opera 10

S2U2

Slide2Shutdown

CorePlayer v1.3.6

Palringo (Lastest Version)

Extra:

Facebook Tab in Sense

Battery Percentage in top bar (Like this picture - http://i33.tinypic.com/156tjqx.jpg)

I used "EnergyRom with sense2.5" and really like it but it was too slow and bloated for the way I like it to be :)

Making something as good as that but with nothing in the ROM apart from the things I stated above (and things which can't be removed) I would be very much appreciated and send a donation to you, If you help me!

For anyone interested in doing this, Reply here!

Thanks Very Much

-Dave
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DavidTiger:
Wouldn't Let me attach this to the previous post.

I have 'zipped' up all the cabs for the apps to be in the ROM... Incase they are needed!

KITCHEN

http://www.4shared.com/file/140666081/84784956/deepshining_Kitchen_23017-R201.html

The simplest way to get the hang of kitchen is to make sure everything is working by default. SO this is how i started to cook on my own without boot problems

1. Download any of the kitchen (Gen.Y kitchen recommended)

2. Extract the contents to C:\XDA (Recommended)

3. Run the ervius.exe

4. Load any ROM profiles created by the Chef (profiles will be saved in *.erv format in \Tools\Saved Roms

***NOW take a GOOD LOOK at the packages that have been selected to enable the builds...the applications...the sense 2.5 and tweaks

5. DONT TRY TO DE-SELECT or REMOVE package/any files now. You can do this after step 6

6. Press Create and enjoy some coffee or whatever you like till the rom is created.

7. Once nbh is created, flash it to your device.

*** Dont close the kitchen yet***

8. Note down in your memory / notepad what you want to remove from this chef's ROM

9. Go back to kitchen start removing stuffs like Applications Only. This way you dont mess with SYS or XIP first

10. There are some essential stuffs in SYS that shud not be removed.

11. If you want to remove SQM from SYS...you shud enable DummySQM

this will be provided in kitchen and so when you load the chef's profile...the SQM wud have been disabled by default

Once you get the hang of it...enjoy...

Btw i recommend you start with Gen.Y kitchen...this way you can choose a profile with sense 2.5

Hope this helps and save you some money ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DavidTiger:
Awesome! I'll give that a try tonight.

I'm currently using Donsalari's Ultra Lite Sense 2.5 ROM which is really what I'm looking for :)

Although its only WM6.5 and has start menu at the top, I surprisingly like it that way when using sense :)

It was a random find, The ROM is fast and has a good 30MB free when running Sense and CHT. Unlike when I was using the EnergyROM I struggled to get 5-7MB free :(

I think for the moment I'll keep this ROM in my main phone and test out what I do with making my own, on my old Diamond.. (doesn't have a earspeaker, and the battery last about an hour, lol, but still works).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnowledgeBroker:
I would really like to know why some free apks are included as system files, such as titanium backup and launcher pro.. As I have bought both paid versions, I have to go through the hastle of removing these, which sometimes appears not to be possible.

They are FREE. If someone needs them, can't they just download it themselves? I don't think any free apk should be pre-installed if it will block a commonly owned paid version.

If anyone wants to explain why these should or are included in most roms, please do. Also, if someone wants to explain a definitive method to get rid of these programs(that are not uninstallable normally because they are system files), please do. Using root explorer and deleting the actual APK doesn't always work, sometimes the file is recreated despite the fact I just deleted it.

I imagine, at least with launcher pro, that MAYBE it is themed(though I haven't seen this yet), but I still imagine there would be another easy way to get it out there..

Anyways, I don't want to be flamed, and I do appreciate the hard work these devs put into these roms, but I haven't been feeling like trying any of these newer roms just because I will have to remove half of these free apks anyways, and it is a pain I just don't want to have to go through 3 times a month.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Romanbb:
All the roms I've used include extra apks in the /data/app directory. And with the two examples you provided, neither of them require a replacement apk for the full version. Titanium has an extra apk for the pro license, and LP you can just input your license.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Roms are a composite of many things. Stating "i don't think .apks should be in there is like saying "We shouldn't have the modems in the rom. You can download and flash them separate". Now does that sound like a coherent statement?. A custom rom is a composite of what the dev envisions how he/she wants the phone to perform. No offense but the statement doesn't make sense to me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
1 - they usually are in data/app for easy removal

2 - if they were in system/app, how hard is it really to go there and delete the .apk

3 - you dont need to remove these to upgrade to the paid version... unneccessary step

4 - the developers put them there for convenience to the MAJORITY

5 - you could always make a rom

6 - really surprised you didnt mention stock bloat from samsung thats included in roms, instead you choose most peoples fav 2 apps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devcurious:
I'm not on any dev team so if my logic is wrong, please correct me. But, to answer your question about why applications are added to the ROMs, I think it mainly boils down to convenience. Those to apps, and I'll even add ROM Manager to the mix, it provides me the quickest, most efficient way, to get my device setup, after flashing a new ROM. I mean, I flash the ROM, use Titanium to restore my apps and settings, especially my LauncherPro settings. I gotta be honest, this is the first I have heard of someone not wanting those two apps specifically.

I have paid versions of both of the applications that you are describing, I have never had to remove the existing one, in order to use the paid version. Whenever I flash a new ROM, they both come up as the paid version. Both applications write the license credentials to your SD card. If the credentials exist when the "free" version starts, it becomes the paid version.

Do you have experience otherwise?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonys2r:
I agree with everyones response!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drewstein:
