[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Stoney 666:
As long as its the same 3.70 framework, you can flash... to keep from losing the "speed" from chingy's, you would have to delete any apps that might be in the theme. So your phone will still be themed but none of the apps will be. But if you know how to use 7zip and sign apk's, you can transfer the themed app pngs to chingy's apps. Just optimize the apps after signing them....

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpoliteski:
I installed Nero 3 a couple days ago, and noticed I have lags now that I didn't with the stock JI6 rom that I had since phone was new.

Are there any lagfixes installed automatically with the Nero 3 rom? I hear voodoo might be, but not sure. I also see the rom includes One Click Lag Fix under applications, but I don't know if its installed. I see in many forums that people say don't install it as it might brick your phone. I almost had a brick already so I am leary.

Just want to have real smooth movement and seems a little laggy now with Nero3.

I have a score of 1010 in Quadrant, I am guessing as that is above stock Vibrant then something must be enabled... Any advice?

Thx.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Go into recovery, and enable voodoo.

A normal fast vibrant with voodoo gets around 1500 of quadrant
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpoliteski:
Is there any danger or drawback in enabling Voodoo? Does battery life get hurt much? Is it as easy to disable Voodoo as enable it?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Voodoo MUST be disabled if your going to flash another rom.

No effect on battery.

Under the enable, theres a disable, just click that and done.

I'll tell u now, when u enable it, it will take 5 minutes our

Or more to boot same with disabling, its changing how your whole system works, so.. It will take some time to boot after enable and disable.

Good luck.

Hi All

i really need some help. I flashed aosp using colckworldmod and it installed but without market, file explorer or clockworldmod.

Now i have no idea how to re-install clockworldmod or rom manger without market so i can flash back to cm6.

Please help
[Hero CDMA General] kostov22:
the clockwork should still be there....just reboot into recovery....and reflash

how about back up....did you flash without making one....when you are trying something new it is good to make a nand back up....
[Hero CDMA General] muttjr:
Clockwork is missing...thats the problem. I did do a back via clockwork before flashing aosp. after flashiing there is no market, file explorer or clockwork

The only think on here is superuser and terminal emulator

Is there a way to install either android market or file explorer or clockworkmod manually. Without either I am screwed. cant access my sd card to flash a restore
[Hero CDMA General] muttjr:
Ok, I figured it out. Just downloaded clockworkmod manually via kaushiks website through the device and installed it. I am all good now.

did you try to shut your phone down...then pres and hold volume down + home + power to boot into hboot and then home button to get into recovery....try that...

Hi,

Is there any way to listen to "my" music on Spotify (Free) without buying Spotify Premium on Android platform?

Since netbooks are mobile devices (and you can get Spotify Free on them) I would think it would be nice if tablets (at least) would get the same feature :-).
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Farkonian:
I suspect some type of hardware failure... the phone had been working fine, suddenly it was frozen at the lock screen. Pulled battery, now it just shows the white HTC screen forever.

HOME + Power = No recovery, just white HTC screen. Not detected by ADB.

Volume Down + Power = HBOOT (3 skateboards)

Volume Up from HBOOT = USB Fastboot, fastboot.exe will detect the phone.

HOME from HBOOT (Recovery) = Indefinite white HTC boot screen.

Tried reflashing recovery via fastboot: "fastboot update recovery-RA-heroc-v162.img" but response is "FAILED (remote: not allow)

Tried Sprint RUU but got CID error, read about and created goldcard and then the RUU installed 100% without error....

... but the phone still just hangs at the white HTC screen.

Brick?

I wouldn't feel so bad if I had been jacking with the phone trying to do something crazy, but it has been running great with no tweaking for months and suddenly it does this.

I am inclined to just assume hardware failure of some type, but HBOOT and RUU working make me second guess myself so I haven't tossed it into the trash just yet...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
what root method did you use? link please. are you s-off? if you don't know, then you're s-on. also, do you have adb (usb debugging)? you can rebuild the phone - no RUU needed - by either adb pushing recovery to the phone, or by flashing a HERCIMG while in s-off bootloader.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
another q - when in fastboot, the command you put in "fastboot update ...." is wrong, that's for a rom zip. I assume you're using cmd, so, the first thing you should type is "fastboot devices" your phone should list. Then type "fastboot shell" you should get the # symbol. Then your command should say "fastboot erase recovery" then "fastboot flash recovery <filename> .... (the recovery you want)". I don't know if this is what you typed or not, as you didn't say, but did you? If not, give it a try. I just read this in the threads I linked below, hope it helps.

I can't really decipher what was wrong. The part where you typed fastboot shell? looks like you didn't get the # right? Try the commands without that, the guide is old, but the commands are right. Try:

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img"

of course where it says "recovery.img" put in the actual name of the recovery. good luck

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Farkonian:
I discovered that if I try to install the RUU without the goldcard, it fails but puts the phone into a different bootloader mode (black screen with HTC). From this screen I can use fastboot to push files, but they all fail the signature check.

C:\Program Files (x86)\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img
sending 'recovery' (3720 KB)... OKAY [ 4.942s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 5.891s

I suppose this is still of no value... unless there is a signed recovery replacement to try flashing?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
try a different recovery, like darch ra 1.7, or clockwork
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It fails signature check I think because he is still S-ON (security enabled). Also, by default, our phones have fastboot locked (access denied error message) under normal conditions.

One idea would be to get the official .img files from HTC's RUU and try flashing those using fastboot that you have access to with the black htc screen.

You can get these by starting to run the RUU and once it extracts the RUU files to a temporary directory you will be able to nab ROM.zip and unpack that and the .img files will be inside. Note: Leave the RUU running or else it deletes the temp files.

Assuming Windows 7 temp folder should be in \Users\<loginname>\AppData\Local\Temp and just dig through the folders.

If this poses too much trouble let me know. I have the RUU files as .img already extracted, but no place to host them.

If you have any kind of way to get Sprint (or your carrier) to replace the phone, I'd just give up and go do that. Right now it is pretty tricky with being S-ON and no normal access to fastboot.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Farkonian:
Still get a signature failure. This recovery.img came from RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.27.651.5_R_signed_release.exe

C:\Temp\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (3390 KB)... OKAY [ 0.734s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.594s

I keep thinking about how the RUU claimed to have installed successfully via the normal process when I had the goldcard in the phone.... and I suspect everything I am doing at this point is likely just spitting in the wind.

Maybe I should just sell the phone as-is for parts... somebody would pay $20 for it. Heh

Thank you everyone for all the good tips, I somehow missed out on the importance of S-OFF... it would be interesting to see if it would make any difference now.... but I suppose I may never know.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
ah dang well it was worth a shot.

One last idea would be to rename the official ROM.zip to HERCIMG.zip and put that on the root of your SDcard. Boot into HBOOT and let it find HERCIMG.zip and see if it flashes without error.

Sadly, this method is similar, if not exactly, what the RUU does when ran from Windows.

S-OFF disables security checks on HERCIMG.zip so you can flash anything in HBOOT without HTC's private keys. I assume that is the issue you are running into with fastboot, but hard to say.

Also maybe you have bad nand or something? You can try fastboot's format feature. I believe 'fastboot -w erase system', for example. Try fastboot -w erase recovery? I figure what do you have to lose anymore. :) The idea behind this is to reset things so that a RUU will succeed. Might also mess around with fastboot update, try flashing a .zip that you normally flash from recovery (rename it update.zip?) or maybe ROM.zip renamed to update.zip.

If not, yea eBay it for parts I guess. I don't know how else to get software on the phone.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Farkonian:
Interesting find:

From the FASTBOOT USB screen, where I normally get denied anytime I try to flash or boot ANYTHING, I can do:

"fastboot oem rebootRUU" and quickly force the phone into the black HTC bootloader mode.

I have no clue if this will ever be of any help to me, but the phone seems more receptive to fastboot commands once it is in the black HTC bootloader....

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantu13:
I'm having a lot of issues with my phone running horribly and whenever I plug it into my computer it tells me that my internal storage needs to be scanned and fixed. So either my card needs to be formatted or it's going bad. I'm assuming this could also be the cause of my phone some time taking ~10 minutes to turn on. So I have a few questions:

1) can I completely format my card and still have stock experience for exchanging it? *I went ahead and did this because I'm impatient. seems to be working and I'll keep testing it and go from there*

2) I did root and flash custom roms on it before but the rom i'm running now is a flash of the original rom on my phone but rooted. Then I updated to JH7 and it got rid of the root. When I went into the store previously and had issues with it, the guy mentioned that I had a different IMEI from what they had registered. I'm not sure if this is due to the fact of flashing or if it's from having to get the first captivate exchanged for another one. Are there any steps I can take to ensure that everything is in correct order and there's no way to see that anything has been tampered with.

Any other advice on things that should be done before going to a ATT warranty store would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koreancanuck:
1) yes

2) Flash back to 2.1 using ODIN and you should have everything stock including your IMEI. Not JH7 but JF6.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alaimar:
Hopefully you backed up your stick settings prior to flashing. Sine custom roms change your product code and imei. Flashing with ODIN will not fix the product code. I'd the imei is correct I highly doubt that the tech and the DSC knows about checking the product code but you never know. Search around XDA there has been plenty of posts surrounding this topic.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primatage:
It's the version of ClockworkMod Recovery you're using. 3.0.0.0 is stable and can backup/restore Gingerbread-based ROMs, but a lot of the versions afterwards are pretty much broken (3.0.0.5 etc).

[HD7 General] Rouz.:
I sold my HD2 when i bought an HD7.

Last night I installed WP7 on my friend's HD2, and it was working just as smooth as the one on my HD7.

I even hacked the windows live system, (using ceesheim's guide) and it was working fine, so technically, it was fully functional, just like the one on HD7. (Did i mention that even the cam-corder was recording 720p videos?)

I was feeling kinda sad about this thing. I could've just kept my HD2, but i didnt.

HD7 is better for me in some areas: Display is way better, softkeys wont get spoiled by heavy usage (while hard-keys on HD2 do), and the phone just looks more stylish than HD2.

But lets not forget that HD2 has its own advantages as well (being capable of running multiple OS, having removable SD-card, etc), and now with the WP7 released, I'd like to hear your opinions about all this.

Do you think the purchase of HD7 was worthy, or it would be better if we could just keep/buy a HD2 instead so we could use multiple platforms, including WP7?

Please share your opinion. Thanks
[HD7 General] MartyLK:
I still have both, but I see no reason to use WP7 on my HD2.
[HD7 General] Rouz.:
I do agree with you about WP7 lacking many key features; Its a known fact. But i don't want to touch the ever-ongoing war of "which os is better" in this thread.

What I'm trying to say is, WP7 was the reason behind the HD7's success; People wouldn't buy it otherwise, since its the same phone as the HD2. Now I'm asking, will people still buy this device when they can have WP7 on HD2?
[HD7 General] MartyLK:
....................
[HD7 General] FiyaFleye:
Still have a bad feeling about Microsoft banning Live accounts that use this on their HD2
[HD7 General] Audio:
Yes, mainly becuase the majority of people who want the phone either a) can't be bothered with the hastle of potentially bricking their HD2 to put WP7 on it, and b) they won't even know it's possible (after all, not every phone owner visits these forums).

I think most people get these types of phones on Contract anyway, so more reason why people will still go for HD7 if they want WP7.
[HD7 General] Rouz.:
thanks for the answers.

Something interesting that i noticed is the amount of new threads created in the windows phone 7 forum, in the last 24-48 hours; which is after the launch of WP7 on HD2.

Did anyone else noticed this increase of wp7 users during the last two days?

Although many of them are just asking the same basic questions over and over again; but i think its a good sign to see more activities going on in the windows phone section.
[HD7 General] jelliottz:
I don't mind at all. I love my HD7 and my HD2. Since I picked up my HD7 I was able to pass my HD2 with NAND Android down to my wife. Now she loves her new phone, I have a great new toy (and I do enjoy WP7), and my HD2 is still close by in case I need to play with it.

New products will always be released and old products will always find upgrades through XDA. It how the world goes.

What I really looking forward to are the OTA updates that WP7 will be getting that I would otherwise have to wait for on my HD2 Superphone.

Mr bother has the HD7 and I have the HD2. Quite honestly I don't really like WP7 AT ALL and would never even think of installing it on my HD2. I'll just stick to Android.
[HD7 General] seal:
I order the HD7 the day wm7 was released for the hd2 not knowing that it was going to be released that night, my hd7 will arrive tomorrow and I have had the weekend using wp7 on the hd2. I really like wp7, I like that it is like no other operating system, very plain but everything seems to be quickly available. The lack, lack, lack of apps is a massive issue as I have an iPhone which does anything and everything so wp7 looks very primitive but I prefer using wp7, there just something about the clean lines and ease of use. Who knows after a week I may just be over it. I will most likely return the hd7 for the fact that it has half the memory of the hd2 being that I will order a 32gb card for it. I know I can do the same for the hd7 but I wouldn't like to be voiding the warranty on such a new and expensive phone.

I will let you know how I feel once I have had a play with the hd7.
