Custom ROMs

Alright, when it comes to custom ROMs, it's mainly personal preference. I'll list some ROMs I've tried (and recommend)

For Beginners!

If you're flashing your first custom ROM, and you want a ROM that you can use daily, miniCM is probably your best option. I have tested and can vouch for both of these ROMs.

Floyo 2.2.1 miniCM 1.0.0RC2 by ponanovn (CyanogenMod 6): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=964223

Really simple ROM, basically everything you need to get started in the custom ROM world. The fact that it has CyanogenMod 6 is kind of a disadvantage comparing to for example, Racht's or Jerpelea's ROMs (they use CyanogenMod 7).

It features dualtouch which means pinch zoom is working. To activate it, put one finger on the screen then another finger. Then spread your fingers. The SD Card safe to remove bug is finally fixed with the latest revision!

Not working: Compass isn't working, some Bluetooth headsets are bugged.

Rating: [ :) ]

Floyo 2.2.1 miniCM by lizypen (CyanogenMod 6): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036335

Very easy and very smooth, a perfect ROM for beginners! Battery life is better then average, because it isn't overclocked to an extreme level. Like Ponanovn's rom, it uses CM6.

Not working: Same as ponanovn's miniCM.

Rating: [ :) ]

More advanced ROMs

These use CyanogenMod 7, and the reason why I say these are more advanced ROMs are that they need a little more configuration to get up and running then these miniCM roms.

Racht's HackDroid GingerBread (CyanogenMod 7): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914513

Racht is an amazing cooker, and it really shines through in this ROM. This features GingerBread (Android 2.3.3). It's really nice, it just takes a little bit more configuration.

UPDATE 25/04: Racht updated his rom! No more SD-Card safe to remove crashes, which also means this is the most stable rom to date. Thanks Racht!

Not working: Camera.

Rating: [ :D ]

I'll add a review of Jerpelea's ROM when I have used it for a little longer :)

Time for FAQs!

Frequently Asked Questions

This section will (hopefully) answer all your questions related with the X8. If you still have any doubts, go ahead and post here, or send me a PM.

SuperOneClick is stuck at "Waiting for device"!

This is most likely caused by the lack of USB drivers for your X8. Go ahead and click Driver Check in SuperOneClick. If the window that pops up says "No issues found!" the problem is NOT your USB drivers. Otherwise, download PC Companion (which comes with the USB drivers for the X8) right here. Install PC Companion and give your PC a reboot.

I'm working on this section whenever I have time, which doesn't happen a lot, because of school.

Hey guys I'm having a problem with my baseband version I'm running Evo zone updated 18 Jan. 2011 and the baseband installed in my phone is 1.39.004.26 I tried to update to the latest 2.15.11.19 but it won't let me update it goes through the process but at the end is the same old baseband and not the updated one if you can please help me with this will really appreciate it thanks.

Sent from my monster Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iitreatedii:
uses caulks format all .zip, restore to stock nandroid, update baseband version after a full reboot, than use caulks format all and flash your choice of rom,

my guess is the rom has something to do with it OR your baseband text is glitched and you already have it. Do me a favor before anything, boot to the screen where hboot etc pops up and check the baseband version thjere instead of menu, settings, about software, this should clear up the answer to my theory, nevertheless, do what i said to up top after you check

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gustopher:
The application above is a significant step forward and the developer deserves huge credit. However, for those planning to try it, 'solution' is probably too strong a word - it's not perfect and isn't as tightly integrated to the OS as the native camera.

These things may come and it is a very serviceable option, but don't set your expectations too high about it solving all of the issues with the current camera.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TheOnly1:
The replacement camera fixes autofocus and flash usage at the expense of most other settings. It's fair trade off at this point of time. More importantly it shows that the cam problems CAN be fixed properly.

Want to share with guys..

I'm in China, I can buy one best protecter no more than $8.
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
Please provide more info ..

So what exactly are you offering ? can you please be clear about it ?!

You have provided a link for a product being sold for $14, the price that you can it for is irrelevant unless you intend to offer it for xda members for the $8 you are speaking about.

Is that the case ?

If so, how are you intending to collect payment ? do you have a store ? are you going to accept paypal payment ? When will have these in stock and whats the earliest you will be able to ship ? will take individual orders or should we form a group buy and then forward you the funds once ?

logistics aside, is this screen protector a custom cut ? does it have proper cuttings for web cam and sensors ?

If you want to be really helpful for this community being straight forward and frank is the easiest way.

Thanks,

Hello people,

I have just updated my SGS from Foryo 2.2 JPP to 2.2.1 JPY with Kies and Registry patch using XEU product code.

But now i have a problem with the GPS fixing, using GPS Status, it's find around 6-10 satellites in my area, but it takes very long time to fix on :( around 15 min or so.

Try to get an answer for my problem, i found that changing the pool server for my country or for europe my solve the fixing issue. Now the pool server is set on north america by default, i want to change it to europe.

Is there any way to edit gps.conf without to have to root my phone? Some kind of update.zip file to install in Recovery mode?

Thanks in advance and I'm sorry if i posted in the wrong area.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nesquix:

You can root your phone with z4root.. and unroot it after if you want
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dukuletz:
I don't think z4root is working on JPY. But the idea is not to root my phone, cause i can simply go and root it with CF-Root.

I'm trying to find a way to work around.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pawitp:
There's no way. In Eclair, you could get around that using update.zip with recovery 2e, but that's not possible with recovery 3e. If without root, you can just go messing around with system files, that would be security failure. So you need root, if only temporarily, to edit it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samcro:
I had the same issue with Froyo 2.2 on my SGS, and i solved the problem using the app GPSbooster. Now the fix it's very fast (about 20-25 sec.) and the signal it's quite stable.

The app cost it's 1,99€ and you can find on the market.

P.S: before to purchase the app, try the free version and see if work for your device ( i have done in this way).

Yes, u can do it! with ADB and Custom Recovery without any root permission or app.

start your phone on recovery mode, in TWRP go to Mount and check SYSTEM, leave it checked and go back. Now in advanced, file manager you can change or delete any file.

Just put the files you need in you Ext-SD and then copy/paste. Always backup before changing anything.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] wasfikhatib:
Dear All,

I am new to this (one week old) and I already formatted my pola 100 more than 6 times. I am using the latest froyo RLS16 and Radio 1.65.38.14. Here are my three problems:

1- Because my wifi connection needs a proxy, I cannot sync my contacts and calendar with gmail (big problem). Is there a way to specify a proxy for wifi connections?

2- My GPRS worked (only retrieving gmail messages but not sending or contact/calendar sync) with radio 1.59.44.02 [problem with it is it hangs during phone calls]. I have been looking at many posts and they seem to have a small icon when they are GPRS/HSDP connected. Is there a way to have it working on my 1.65.38.14 radio?

3- In the settings, I cannot control the repetition of ringtones. So, it rings once when I receive a call and that is it. Is there an app that can fix this?

Thanks a lot.

Wasfi
[Touch Cruise Android Development] aceoyame:
Radio is the cause of the weird ring and call issues. Also, you are using an old build that probabbly does not have those icons. Try using My barebones or scoots build or not so super froyo. As for the proxy settings go, I believe there is a proxy settings menu in the wireless connections menu.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] wasfikhatib:
Hi,

Is the radio included in the barebones distribution? If yes, what is its version, and if no, which one do you recommend?

Thanks.

--Wasfi
[Touch Cruise Android Development] aceoyame:
It is not as the radio is a seperate file that gets flashed to the polaris. There are guides and info around for it.

Hi, is it posible to install WM 6.5 onto the HTC Desire HD?

I mean not as a double system, but instead of Android...

My company does not support either Android or WM 7 (email exchange software and communicator software which I must have) so I pretty much must get the HTC HD2 unless I could tweek the Desire HD to work with WM 6.5 until we get Android support in the company. The Desire HD has a better camera and screed so I would prefer to get it instead of the old HD2...

Any thoughts?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
windows mobile is not open source like android, and thus cannot be adapted to non windows mobile handests without considerable work, as yet not one developer anywhere has expressed any intrest in a project like this :) and on a side note, as you do not own a licence for windows mobile (that you would get with a wm phone) a project like this could be seen as piracy :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
If your company requires you to check email on the move then surely it's their responsibility to provide you with a suitable phone to do so?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartkozik:
Hi,

thank you for your quick reply. My company has an exchange email software which connects to the main server giving the phone a "blackberry" function. It is not pop3 and we do not have a webmail due to security reasons (or possibly lack of enough resources to maintain it) The software is supported either on WM phones or Iphones. Symbian or Android are not supported. As I basically can chose any phone available from Vodafone, I chose the DHD (yes, I could also get a blackberry but I do not like them) but since the "switch" is not possible I will probably just pick the HD2

Thank you all for your fast replies
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartkozik:
Regarding the WM licence. Yes, you are right and I was actually not thinking about it at all! Thanks for the reminder... Do you think it would be possible to get a WM7 phone such as the HTC Mozart or Trophy and install WM6.5 on it? Meaning, I am paying for WM but am installing an older version onto it???

I will post the question onto the proper forum page...

HTC Desire HD and windows

i would like to ask about HTC Desire HD if itis windows 6.5 capable or not ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJorgio:
Not...

The DHD is an android phone and not a windows phone, simple as, get a HTC HD2, that runs Win Mobile 6.5 and has a pretty good spec...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathJester:
No, Windows Mobile will not run on the Desire HD.

Further, the Exchange functions will enable your employer to remotely wipe your phone, including all personal files and contacts you have, at their whim (which will be if you leave the company). Never, ever connect your personal devices to your company network, as most policies for that connection will state that they can inspect and monitor any communications or data on that device. Not saying you're hiding anything, just that your personal comms could be monitored by your employer.

Either have them purchase a Blackberry / WM phone for you, or get hold of one from eBay and use that.
