Ok, I believe the wiki and Q and A are supposed to serve this purpose, but unfortunately, they are never up to date, links are dead, etc... NOT that anyone owes this to the new people, BUT, if you want to use that as your redirection to avoid repeatedly helping the next new member, then it should start at the beginning, and cover everything, including known fails and their fixes (standing on one foot and saying theres no place like XDA for your PC to keep its adb connection long enough to finish the 'one click root'). I spent forever reading all kinds of specific rom threads, everything, just rooting, people ***** about Odin? Odin is the ****, it even tells you when it sees your phone... Anyways, Yeah maybe updating the wiki, and possibly even adding a glossary for newbs may be a good idea. You cannot flame then refer to a broken link.

Also, if we can keep from pestering the Devs, they may be able to write a little bit more extensively about what a ROM encompasses, the changelog, etc... ALTHOUGH that has been greatly improved... for the most part its all good, I just wonder if its because I am learning more and filling in the blanks in my head, ya know?

But back to topic, OPs, sorry youre bummed, but re-reading the OP, im kind of wondering what you expected?? Turn off your PMs, make people ask questions in the threads, and just ignore the already answered, with a disclaimer in the OP for the ROM that if your question goes unanswered, re-read the thread, the answer may be there... I know ive missed things a couple times the first time reading all 80 pages of a thread.

whosdaman.... can you delete dumb ? or pointless posts within threads??? just wondering... im sure you would get a lot of volunteers for deputizing.

last bit... 'ignore user' button? Ok just found it... go to the users profile and its under some dropdown menu... maybe put it on every post??? We got the thanks button in, what point does that serve other than cred???
[Epic 4G General] tmspyder:
This is way more valuable than anything else, and the perfect reasoning to withdraw.

I spend countless hrs reading, re-reading, cross referencing the posts of those who know. Both here and elsewhere before EVER attempting any form of modification to my shiny toy.

It saddens me that some want that easy button and wont expend the effort to truly understand what they are getting themselves into first.

You will be missed for sure.

[Epic 4G General] Oxrod:
When, and if I leave XDA nobody will notice and nobody will care. I will not post a goodbye the same way I never posted a hello. Because of this I don't care about bad posts, questions that have already been answered, or crying. I would suggest this same course of action for anyone else here. I have kids and a wife too so I don't care weather these forums are organized like the Hero forums where or not. I really don't get all the drama.
[Epic 4G General] f16pilot:
There's no doubt, the Hero forum seemed to be a bit more tolerant, but even there some people would get nasty if a question was re-asked. The worst offenders were those who would ask a new question within someone else's post and their specific question had just been answered only a few lines prior. They deserved the verbal abuse they got. But otherwise, dumb and recurring questions are what noobs do, its what makes them noobs. Otherwise, they would be devs...and then they don't need to ask questions, because they know everything.

When I leave, I want to do it sliding into my grave sideways, with a cigar in one hand and a whiskey in the other, body completely used up, saying, "Man, what a ride!" Oh, wait, that's probably not the kind of leaving we're talking about here. Do you think we can actually get 10 pages out of this thread?

I'm closing this rant of a thread. I will no longer allow threads such as these, IE "Goodbye, I'm leaving."

[Adam General] ruscik:
Hi Guys

I like the design and spec of Adam but I would also need proper usability from it. By proper I mean word, excel, usb to Com cables in general Windows 7.

Would it be possible to install Windows 7 on the device and how hard would it be?

I have not see the device in action so does anyone know does it have PC style bios or more like bootloader on smartphones?
[Adam General] ruscik:
Not worse, just heavier because more usable as PC. For me Android is the worse one as yo have no proper apps that make it usable as PC.

As said if I could get ubuntu to run with office on it I would not think about windows 7 but I can not even do that.

Andoid main problem is the same as one on apple ipad it is a OS for phones.
[Adam General] litening:
Adam started out as a dual boot Linux/ Android tablet.

Have not heard anything re Linux boot for a while though.
[Adam General] ruscik:
I seen on forum for ink that they have image for ubuntu but still no office on it.

Grr I always loved tablet idea TBH even when they were called slates.

Until late I had my HP TC1100 and was very happy but it is lucking now in performance for win7 and office 2010. Also it is so "used" now that paint is coming off.

Oh well will have to wait for a win7 dedicated tablet.
[Adam General] smedley.jason:
The operating system has to be ARM based meaning Windows 7 will never work (at least properly).
[Adam General] ruscik:
Well since they patented Windows 7 core to work with Arm in December one would hope that will be overcome. Apparently there will be al ighter version of Win7 for ARM based systems. Hmm we will see but fro now HP Slate 500 is the best bet.
[Adam General] tdh_andy:
Ubuntu for arm, meego and basicaly any linux distribution that has an arm port could end up on the adam. If you prefer a more desktop like UI plain ubuntu could work, use openoffice.

Most applications written for linux are easily ported to other CPU architectures.
[Adam General] ruscik:
Well if I wanted to use open office I wuld not ask for windows 7 would just go to ubuntu directly. Openoffice suck badly no matter what people say, if you do tons of docs, formatting and scripting in excel you need proper, real office.

Anything else I could deal with on linux just not lack of that.
[Adam General] Schattenspieler:
I know this thread is old, but with Windows 8 (shall work on ARM) on sight, is there any chance to run that on the adam?

I'm asking cuz i'm looking for a tablet that is a) readable in straight sunlight and b) offers at least part-time Windows-capabilities.
[Adam General] blazingwolf:
Only time will tell for sure. Right now we can't figure that out as there is no ARM version available. Once they make one I'm sure that people will start trying.

I would like to see improvements to the stock browser. smoother zooming for one thing, get rid of the magnify glass in the bottom right corner (gets in the way when trying to click links), and passing the acid 3 test .

Android is still in its infancy compared to its rivals in the same market. This year should be big for our beloved OS so I want to see what changes are made before answering that question lol.

[Vibrant General] YMark:
- decent calendar

- syncing with Outlook

- email that is reliable

- more efficient OS
[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
More fluid UI, smoother animations ie: pinch to zoom browsing, maps etc could be smoother. Basically make it so good that I don't need to root in the first place.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
A usable Google Talk Client (think BBM). The current one is worse than using SMS/MMS, IMO.

Hardware accellerated UI.

Better Exchange support and stock (non-Gmail) mail/Calendar client.

Make an exit option for most stock apps (i.e. Browser, music player, etc.).

Memory optimizations to reduce the footprint of stock applications in RAM.

Better third party developers. Most of them are amatuers and put out utter crap.

Decent market policing. Tired of sifting through so much junk just to try to find useful apps.

The rest doesn't matter since I'm sure the OEMs will rip it out to put their skins in.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
An exit option is the thing google DOES NOT want in their UI. It is pointless. It is NOT how Android runs and it does NOT help. The OS does this for the user. Why not just ask for a task killer that kills everything every 5 minutes, lol.

what stock apps are killing ram? Do you mean when they are in the BACKground?

dude, don't knock on developers... I think if the "fragmentation problem" was not a "problem" then we would have a tremendous load of great apps. Some are just afraid to take the plunge into developing for android, and some probably are afraid to break ties with apple. That said, there are a LOT of really good developers for Android, and some ONLY for android (levelup studios)

to answer the OP question, I would say a more common sense UI. Which I believe is on the way with the new hires. I had to teach several people how to use their new apple/android products, and regretfully, the ones with apple picked it up a lot faster.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Some people just fail to understand that memory management on the linux based OS's is completely different from the counterparts from different OS's.

What would I change about the OS? My needs are more than satisfied with the current affairs, smoother scrolling and zooming in the browser will def make the UI even more pleasant to use.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and make every currently releasing phones true google phones, allow the carrier put bloatware on it, but make it easy to remove it - that is wishful thinking btw, otherwise how the carriers are supposed to make money off the subsidized hardware; at least make it an option for off the contract purchases.
[Vibrant General] pavvy:
I would like if the notification bar pop-up ("toast"?) for a new Gmail displayed the sender/subject line and first few words of the msg, rather than just say "New Gmail" (in other words, for it to behave like the notification for new SMS, etc.)
[Vibrant General] atoz350:
I really think that the 3rd party UIs should be available as a paid market download only. That way you have a choice as to whether you want to use it or not. All Google Android phones should come as just a Google Android phone. Make it easier to receive updates and cut down on this fragmentation. You can even let the user decide to download the enhanced UIs during the initial setup.
[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
I'd personally like to see more polish - smoother web scrolling, etc. - and codec support for stock Android. I think we'll see this in Honeycomb. For game makers, i'd like to see less device specific coding in C. We are lucky that virtually every game works on the Vibrant, but other high end phones don't get the same love. Finally, it would be nice to see Google get on oems to release updates in a timely manner. Don't think it'll happen but you can always dream.

[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
I like the idea. Also, if companies want "value added" widgets, launchers, etc. they could make them drm protected and not able to be installed on competitors phones without having to bog down their devices with a crappy UI

[myTouch 4G General] tchamander:
My power button is very unresponsive cause the button is stuck for some reason anyone having this problem
[myTouch 4G General] Jon C:
Yep. This happened to mine as well. This was a common problem with the Nexus One, and it looks like HTC never figured out a way to make a decent lock button. I would kill to have an iPhone-style click to that button.

I'll send it in for warranty before the year is up. But my phone is unlocked and has the nice SLCD, and it would be a pitty to get some junky refurb in exchange. For anyone who has RMA'd HTC phones before: will they actually repair your phone's component, or do they just mail you a refurb?
[myTouch 4G General] gabrialxue:
I tried to get my craigslist 4g replaced through HTC and the Rep said they only do repairs
[myTouch 4G General] tchamander:
Hmmmmm well I called Ans they would inky do a warranty exchange and they are sending mine in I just thought it was funny how they were saying that most likely I dropped it and it was my fault and I was morelikely to pay like 250.....bull**** I take care of my phones so the Guy can suck it
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
I had the same issue, it was after my first 14 days and Customer Care would only send me a refurb. I went into the store where they sold it and showed the manager and he was just like "let's get you a new phone". He said the mytouch line has a special policy where they can do in-store only exchanges evan after the 14 day period.
[myTouch 4G General] tchamander:
Noooooooooooooooooooooo man wtf I went to a T-Mobile store and the manager always dodges me but they only told me to call customer service sucks ballssss
[myTouch 4G General] xdviper:
I got mines through Craigslist, traded a G2 for it, could t-mobile also give me a replacement or do I have to go through HTC?
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
T-Mo won't do an in-store trade for a phone you didn't buy from them. For that matter I'm not even sure the manufacturer warranty transfers if the original buyer sells it.
[myTouch 4G General] ls1xtreme:
i actually had this same problem..called care and they sent me a refurb device...
[myTouch 4G General] gabrialxue:
Did you call T-Mobile customer care or HTC customer care. And did you need proof of purchase etc
[myTouch 4G General] ls1xtreme:
Called t-mobile cust care...no need for proof of purchase...i actually bought my mt4g under a different number but put my sim in it first so the warranty is with my number...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trunkstar1:
So, I'd previously used RyanZa's OCLF to root, but was too cautious to pull the trigger on anything more. Now, I'm ready. I went ahead and rooted by installing a new update.zip. I installed Titanium Back-up and ROM Manager, and made back-ups too.

Simple question before I move on to custom ROMs and what not... When I back things up in TB and when I make a nandroid back-up in RM, where do those files go?

Thanks for any feedback.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drewstein:
The stay on your internal 16g memory. If you were to look at the files using your computer you'll now see a titanium folder for example.

It's a good idea to compy the contents of the 16g internal memory to a backup file on your desktop just in case you decide to format your phone by accident.

Hi all. Currently I am running ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1 and it seems to work great. But I am wondering what recovery images anyone else prefers. Nothing against to Koushik, he has provided a wonderful tool. I am just curious what everyone thinks before I flash another recovery.

The Only Other Recovery I Know Of Is The Flash Alternative In

Rom Manager!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
I got it off of darch's website but it's been down as far as I know for a little while now.. Luckily I backed it up on my dropbox when I first downloaded it :D

I attached it so it'll be on XDA for everyone

Directions:

Download the Darchstar_ra.zip

Extract it onto the root of your sdcard.

Boot up into your rom

Open up terminal emulator and enter the following:

su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/Darchstar_ra.img
reboot
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtnchkn:
I know this post is a bit old, but I have seen it come up in a few other threads that when running the commands like you mention, it says

flash_image not found

I thought I would post that here since this is the link to the 1.7 download. I know you aren't the specific dev, but any help is greatly appreciated.
[Desire General] MrAce87:
my girlfriends desire got an ota update today. Its rooted. i did a nandroid restore to right after i rooted it. when it booted back up, it said there was update available. download it and installed it. Her build/system number is now 1.28.557.4. So then i nandroid back to the same date on my phone and waited to see if i would get a ota update but haven't recieved anything. My build/system number is 1.28.557.0

anyone know or recieved the same update? if so, what does it fix? i attached it if anyone wants it
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You shouldn't apply OTA updates to rooted phones, it will likely screw things up
[Android Apps and Games] angelsix:
I just rooted my phone and installed Bionix OS-- overall an amazing improvement. The only fly in the ointment is that I used to have on my homescreen a handy little app that was titled "Starred" -- it was a contacts list that only included my starred contacts. Since I have accumulated a lot of contacts, it was very handy to be able to just search through my primary (starred) contacts. After upgrading my phone, I cannot find this little app. I think I have looked everywhere. A little weirder -- I had done a backup of my apps with Titanium Backup before installing Bionix, but this one doesn't seem to be there (in my uninstalled apps) either (unless, of course, it's called something I don't recognize). Any idea how/where I can find/restore this handy little app?
[Android Apps and Games] angelsix:
Never mind. One of the many nice people over at the Team Whiskey forum told me the simple, seemingly somewhat obvious answer -- what I was looking for is a "folder" not an "app". All I had to do is press on the home page until the "Add to home screen" window opened, select "folders", then select "Starred Contacts" (scrolling to the bottom of the list). Voila'!

Hi and happy new year!

After unbranding, did you try to update with an official rom .exe and did it work?

I unbranded using a Y cable and I tried just to see if it works but I got "Invalid vendor ID" again. Strange!?

I think I will always use a Y cable and a gold card to update!?

Thank you for your reply
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

The 2 roms B.1 and B.2 can be used to unbrand your device if your device is branded to the Vodafone_ELL operator.

This means that you can successfully flash the B.a rom before proceeding to unbranding.

After unbranding you can go back to the initial operator Vodafone_ELL by flashing the B.a rom.

For your operator you know when you buy the device.

When you flash a rom and stacks at 0% then is not your operator.
