[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hernan078:
i dont need to go back to stock to flash another rom? i can just flash darkys on top of Phoenix?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
You should use the option in cwm recovery for WIPE DATA/SYSTEM RESTORE before you do, but yes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] existz:
Yes, u don't have to restore stock first before flashing another rom, but like said above, make sure to do a factory reset in cwm..

As for odin, you don't have to master clear either, you can use either odin one click or download a stock rom from samfirmware.com and use regular odin...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hernan078:
i didnt understood your instructions, i just see and option that says wipe data/facory reset, what do i do to install darkys rom, while still on phoenix?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
Here are the install instructions from the first post of the Darky's thread:

That's pretty much how I've done it with all the ROMs I've used for the last couple of months, except that I boot to recovery mode to choose the ROM and start the install.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hernan078:
ok, thanks a lot guys, i spent all my thanks for today, but the conclusion is that i can flash darkys rom on top of phoenix, restoring back to stock will be if i want to take it for warranty or something like that right?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
That's my opinion. The install script formats and deletes everything anyway, so going back to stock is superfluous. Some people disagree, but as per my other post, the Darky's instructions say nothing about flashing stock.

I went a couple of months without going back to stock and in that time I flashed various versions of Cognition, Darky's, di11igaf, Assonance, Perception, Axura, Phoenix, Doc's, Serendipity and probably others I've forgotten. I only flashed stock the other day because I sent my phone back to Samsung to see if I can get one with working GPS.

All depends of the determination of the term "

dead

htc hd2"

if you gave us some more information on what is the problem, and how/after what you have had the problem, than peoples see more clear the situation.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Help us to help you ;)

Tell us all about the phone.

Does it turn on at all, if it does what happens?

Is it the battery? Have you tried a different one?

Is it unbranded, or network branded?

If it's a T-Mobile branded device, is it a US model?

If you can turn it on, do so while holding the volume down button and tell us exactly what it says on the screen.

That, for now, is a start. Come back with some info and we may be able to help you.

[Android Software Development] Crimson Major:
Hello all, this is my first post here, although I have been reading around for a while, and I hope you can help.

Im a third year computing student, and am currently writing my dissertation. My chosen topic is text input methods for touch screen mobile phones. The core of the paper will be an experiment with a handful of different input methods on an android phone. To facilitate this, I want to build a few custom keyboards on android, namely simple versions of something similar to swype and thickbuttons.

Whilst I have a working knowledge of java, I have done hardly any android development, so am finding it a bit difficult to get started. Does anyone know of any useful resources available for building custom keyboards for android, or have any practical experience?

Any help would be much appreciated!

[G1 General] kisaku1218:
Well I hack my g1 since the first day I get it, all you do pretty much is tweak some apn setting. But deal is those sidekick prepaid can't use normal stuff and I almost have hard time in market or stream videos.

Any idea of how to rewrite the apk to make them take socket?

T-mobile hack:

1)you paid dirt cheap to have internet and free sms, that is about it, not include pic/other bs just normal text, I don't think they charge e-mail.

2)you can't use market/can't download from market, I use opera getja website or wifi, and most of app need regular connection is not working, I think is how the apps are wrote because I can't use regular browser either, only opera mini works so far.

3)1$ per day, 15c per minute, if you are a talker, hell the $$ can't be cheap........I talk less than 200 minute per month because my work.

Google it and you can find how to tweak those apn, I just kind of hope people get into those things but kinda not at same time......if noone knows it will be no apps/fix came out, but if a lot of people is doing it t-moble gonna close the sidekick service once and for all.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ticiano:
I know that after XXJPY we don't have no more lag, so the "lagfix" is just a name for this filesystem convertions that we learned to love here. :p

I stoped using EXT4 convertions since XXJPY because the custom ROMs arround recomends disabling any "lagfix" before a new install or update... but I have a question here.

I'm aways using kernels that support EXT4 filesystems, so why I have to disable the "lagfix" to make any update? If I'm going from a Darky's ROM to a new Darky's ROM version ou changing from hardcore's to supercurio's kernels, when all this systems are suposed to work with EXT filesystems, why I need to disable the "lagfix" before making this changes?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
why I need to disable the "lagfix" before making this changes?

Different lagfix etc plus who wants to break the phone instead of disabling a lagfix .

You can always try not disabling lagfix .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
At least in the last iterations of Darky, you're not forced to disable the Voodoo lagfix if you had it installed, provided that you installed it with Darky's previous version. Nevertheless, since Kernels are always improving and ROM makers put them in their ROMs, it's always a good security measure to uninstall the lagfix. With devices as expensive as this one, risk-taking must be reduced.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ticiano:
Hmm Ok I will disable. :)

Thank you guys
[TG01 General] orly_mihai:
I try first time when it have the little light the pin metod didn't work but with tg downloader it works and write to 100% the restart but didn't restart it stays power off then i disconnect it and try to power on but turn only the green light and vibrate then goes off.On the second try to see my phone with tg downloader i must do the pin try without the memory card and then connect to the notebook it saw my phone and again write to 100% but didn't restart and the same after i disconect it only green light and vibrate.I do this about 3 times but the same i try first the official orange ro and then official orange uk but the same.
[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
Sorry din't see you created a separate thread for it again!

I just replied you in patience's thread where you posted it..

Please make sure you charge your battery to 100% - give it few more hours as it's been told somewhere in forums that bricked tg01s take longer to charge their batteries :s and without fully charged batteries there are good chances you will totally brick your tg01. Your tg01 is not yet fully bricked. There are chances to fix it.. so go slowly.. have a read through 'unbrick' thread. BUT FIRST - charge your battery!!
[TG01 General] orly_mihai:
But how to charge my battery?I have alsou a nokia 1209 i try with that battery and the same if i full charge that battery will it work?
[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
I am not sure if nokia 1209 battery works with TG01 - never heard/tried it.

Also not sure if nokia's charger will charge the battery. You might have to charge it externally. There is some trick in the 'unbrick' thread to charge it externally. If you are not sure that your battery is fully charged, please don't try to unbrick it - as without battery, there are good chances of permanently bricking the device. I am at work @ the moment, but will try and look through some charging solutions for you. Google for some ideas to externally charging your battery for a while.
[TG01 General] orly_mihai:
The interesting thing is that i succed to 100% 3 times to put the rom with tg downloader 2 times with tg01 battery and one time with nokia 1209 battery but the same.Only green light and vibrate.It works with 1209 battery but you must put a piece of insulating tape to stay there the battery my ideea was to full charge the 1209 battery and try then.Only difference between them is tg01 1000mah and 1209 has 500mah.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FuRoRR:
Hey guys!

I have finally decided to jump to NANDroid and more precise - MDjCM7.I have read a number of threads and did some searches.I installed the 2.12.50.02_2 Radio,Official ROM and downloaded MAGDLR 1.11 but im not sure i have the right HSPL installed-on bootloader screen it says 1.42.HSPL.I am totaly freaking out as i am inlove in Android but am told that the process could brick my device.I have used SD-android for so long now but i am not sattisfied with the battery drain...

So my two questions are -

Is 1.42.HSPL the right one,if not what should i download and how could i install it ?

Is NANDroid better regarding battery life in comparison to SD android?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
You need HSPL 2.08, which you can find in this thread :)

Your radio is fine so that's all you should need.

As for battery, I've only tried 3 different NAND based ROMS and they were all better than SD versions, but my current ROM (Nexus One Gingerbread) is outstanding! I've gone from having to plug my phone in every night to only plugging it in for an hour or so every other day. For whatever reason, it wasn't like that at first, but after a couple of days it settled down and now it's by far the best ROM I've used (for other things as well as battery consumption).

Anyway, yes. Battery life is better with NAND ROMs :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FuRoRR:
Is that HSPL2 or HSPL3? If it is HSPL3 can i jump straight from 1.42 ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Use the attachment from this post...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6894936&postcount=2

And yes, you can just install it over 1.42.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FuRoRR:
I am amased of my noobishness :confused: . http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877777 <-This is my choice but i cant seem to understand where the actual NAND rom is... Also i am pretty sure that A2SD stands for "Android to SDcard" so i am a bit of stuck here :D Also it may be also noobish but what is Clockwork mod ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KrewsialNL:
A2SD is apps 2 sd card.

It's a system that makes it possible to install apps on the SDcard to save user space on NAND :)

Next to that, please have a look in the Clockwork MOD thread, it's explained there what it is. Google has the answers to this too.

[Wildfire General] nitens:
Hi folks.

My gf had been offered a wildfire as an option for a work phone and she asked me if it's worth getting. This will be her first step outside the Nokia candy bar phone world.

Using a desire myself I cannot seem to offer any help as I have no idea how the lighter specs on the wildfire effect the whole android/sense experience. Web reviews tend to state that it's good for the price, whatever that means, or that it's slower and lower res than phones costing twice as much - not a fair comparison.

So, if you're just after a phone to text, call, email, calendar, gps navigate, occasionally jump on the web and tether to a laptop does the wildfire stack up?

Any guidance from users (esp those who've made a similar jump) would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Nitens.

[Wildfire General] Cyda:
I think it will stack up pretty good, I am certainly happy with mine. As long as you don't want mobile gaming the Wildfire is a very nice phone.
[Wildfire General] chupchip:
Excuse me if I am off-topic, but I think it's no good opening a new thread.

My daily usage is similar to the OP. One question about playing video on wildfire.

If I convert some with reasonable resolution e.g. 240x320, will it play without any lag?

Also, with the wildfire specs, will it be the problem with future releases of android?

I didn't mean in the official way, but ability to messing with roms e.g. CM7 will be good.

(just need opinions)

Thanks in advance.
[Wildfire General] Omorashi:
I did the same jump! :)

I am very pleased with the opportunities the Wildfire gives me.

I came from using traditional phones as nokia 6230 (Yeah old phone). I used it on stock rom for 4 months, which was good enough for the things you mention, but then i finished my exams and wanted to play with the phone. Now i am on cyanogenmod, since i wanted the extra performance so i could play games and nerd around with it.

I would say she should go for it.

Hope my post can help her to make the decision.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
240x320 videos should play nice on the Wildfire, but, do check the format first.

Secondly, so far, the future roadmap of Android is not known. Gingerbread is out (Which will come on the Wildfire, courtesy CM7). The next known Android version is Honeycomb (3.0), which is optimized for tablets, and, will definitely not work on the wildfire due to its high system requirements (High Res Screen, 1GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM).

After Honeycomb, the next version for the smartphone devices is still not known, as stated above (Its probably named Ice Cream), and hence, speculating it at this point of time whether it will work on the wildfire or not is no good.
