lol, Dont scare him. ;)

Well, first and foremost, I would recommend you read this guide completely:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824396

After that, when you have rooted your phone, you can decide on the Custom ROM yourself. They are broadly categorized into 2 categories : Sense ROMs and Non-Sense ROM's/ (Sense is the default HTC UI). Then, you have to decide whether you want a Sense ROM or one without it, and, go about it accordingly. (Generally, Non-Sense ROMs are faster, since Sense requires a lot of processing power)

As for CM7, even though it is Alpha, I would recommend you try it out. I am using it as a daily use ROM, and, its perfectly fine.
[Wildfire General] cybertyk:
I'm currently using cm7 night release 0. I think. Its great. There are a few bugs but nothing. That effects the phone at user level.
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
cm7 is great!!! the nightlies work perfectly ;D, very good for what you call an 'alpha' release ahahaha, and why stay on eclair or froyo, when you can have some gingerbread action ;)
[Wildfire General] brilldoctor:
Still i would rather wait for a beta or rc release
[Wildfire General] Michealtbh:
CM7 Nightly 0 is almost perfect, pretty much everything works
[Wildfire General] brilldoctor:
Its personal taste anyway im stuck whith hboot 1.01 and am now wanting to try cm7 fail on my part
[Wildfire General] daddyspud:
Would recomend de_version_4.a but then again that's my Rom lol
[Wildfire General] wocis:
first of all root your new toy :)

after that, you should play with your phone till you run-down.

[Wildfire General] Pawnbox:
Try CM7 nighty build, i rooted my phone this month itself and the first ROM i ever put was the CM7 ROM and trust me i havent even looked around for other Custom ROMs, its fast, looks very good and all apps work on em..

Cheers, btw dont forget to read Turkey's Guide to Rooting..
[Wildfire General] gzci:
OC is not stable，even 4.1.。。
[Wildfire General] ferchorama:
CM7 build 23
[Wildfire General] tinkerer-svk:
so yea :) i figured out everything :P im not big fan of alpha roms so ill stick to sense roms for a while. i will surely move on to cyanogen mod later ;)
[Wildfire General] maaz_obaid:
i'm using cm nightly build 21. working just fine.

there was an issue in 18 but 21 is just fine. i have tried out almost all of roms for wildfire, and i found CM 7 to b the best of all.
[Wildfire General] MasterDL:
No... I'd recommend wildpuzzle v0.8 first to get comfortable with first since it has all the capabilities of overclocking is stable although not recommended to wildly over the 700mhz mark and everything else.

Gingerbread is a big and not stable yet a little complicated to setup.
[Wildfire General] ephbee:
i'm loving my wildpuzzle v.08,overclocked and super stable, i like sense too much:p
[Wildfire General] rainowy:
Cm 7 is very good I can confirm this. I am using build 16, everything works fine but I found it unstable overclocked over 700 on my wildfire.
[Wildfire General] amtzone:
Reminder dont update to official 2.2 (Froyo)

or u will not be able to flash any custom rom like me :p
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] trapacska:
hy all. if you want that your phone boots faster, type it into your build.prop file:

debug.sf.nobootanimation=1

enjoy. i like it :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ojojoj:
tnx;) it works:)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] XperianPro:
It work but can i now delete bootanimation.zip
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] skr_ecw:
How, i`m new, please explain,how?]\

FOUND:there’s a text file on the phone (/system/build.prop) which contains information , thx to google:))
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ojojoj:
yes. I deleted;)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] trapacska:
yes you can delete the bootanimation.zip, but before you do this step you can delete too, then instead of sonyericsson bootanim, the built in android bootload anim will shown. if you want to disable fully (built-in and se) bootanimation, use the steps in the first post. :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] narendrakini:
Works, Thanks.. :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] a-k-t-w:
How much faster does it take to boot? If it's not much I'll stick to my fancy boot animation...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Tobi@s:
for me boot takes 48.41s from first vibration till the last.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ojojoj:
for me 34.9s:p
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] nos1609:
About 30 sec to boot up! Great!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] BehradGH:
27 Seconds ! Awesome !
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] groovepeppy:
woohoooo, thank you!

28 sec's here in Indonesia LOL
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] a-k-t-w:
Didn't notice it boot any faster. Back you go, boot animation...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Tobi@s:
Hm.... same for me... Maybe because of App2SD.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] nos1609:
I have about 30 sec with xrecovery, jit, app2sd and nearly all default apps removed. I think it's not the app2sd to blame. Try to wipe dalvic cache in recovery, first time it will be a bit slow to boot up, but then it will be faster. Also try to remove the default se bootanim zip-file
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mitch_55:
Edit :

Sorry, That's an error
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] gialandra:
Is it possible make a flashable zip to remove the bootanimation?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] proadi96:
You have a option in cyanogenmod settings to disable it.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] vanillaLVL:
Test boot with app called - boot benchmark :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] CnC-ROCK:

you should have made this thread in general section..

you can ask a mod to move it there.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] nbs11:
Can you be most specific/give a screenshot? it works fine for me...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nbs11:
it was intended in that situation...it makes it so on longer menus you don't have to scroll...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rikusaki:
Oh, lol. then I request a theme with them there. :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
The're kind of redundant. If you were new to android i could see it maybe being confusing but adept enough to swap themes around do you really need to see "add to home" screen when you long press the home screen.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rikusaki:
You can see the ends of the borders. And that bugs me a little. Oh well.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nbs11:
That was fixed by fritzgerald a few hours ago...I just haven't updated it yet
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Prototype159:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] mmolo99:
Could you just tell me what xml it is that I have to edit to get titles to show back up. I know how to do it I just don't know which one it is. I'm a little OCD so it bugs me that the titles don't show up.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mmolo99:
Nevermind. Found it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Darksider94:
Will this work on Andromeda 1.1?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheMathMan:
Definite bump for getting this to work with 1.2 FINAL
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheMathMan:
Just after the green GB notification bar. Anyone have a way of getting that onto my i9010 easily? Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rikusaki:
Would you be so kind to upload your version of the theme that has the titles enabled? :)

It really bugs me too and it makes the black windows look really ugly and broken. :(
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rikusaki:
Agreed. I want the titles back. The lack of titles gives this theme a broken, empty feeling.
[G Tablet General] jmurphy04:
Sorry if this has been asked before. But is possible to load just the Android Market onto a Gtab without installing a custom rom like TNT Lite? I need the gmail app and would like the real market. I don’t mind the stock classic home page and not sure I want to try a new rom just yet.

Can you install the TNT enhancement pack without running the TNT rom? and if you can install it without the TNT rom what way would you suggest?
[G Tablet General] RojasTKD:
TNT is the Touch-N-Tap UI that the stock unit uses. You judt install ther TNT enhancement pack to the stock interface.

Thanks for all your help! I now have the Market and Gapps.
[G Tablet General] intech:
Dont get it

enhancement pack installed (I guess, it did it's thing) but I don't see any GoogleApps.

Tried the clockwork installed, but it just keeps installing every single time by pressing the power and volume + after powerup so I don't get that one. I tried removing the zip file for updates but it's still doing it.

I don't see how it would not keep trying to install vs. boot? There must be another step that is not identical to install or it would keep installing?

never boots into clockwork.

I did update the unit when I bought it with the new image update. Maybe that changes something that makes all these instructions?

Puzzled, a nob, sort of, but not really :D

Love the G-Tablet even if I don't seem to be able to make any of the changes listed in the forum.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=892090

Read the first post carefully. If you can't boot into clockwork using power/vol+ then clockwork is not installed. If you don't have the market then you didn't install the enhancement pack.
[G Tablet General] intech:
I did, I got the cardboard box and loading. It just does not do anything. When I reboot and hold down the + and power (after powering down) it goes back to the cardboard box. I get the right responses as stated in the post, it just keeps going back to installing again following the instructions to boot.

Instructions are slightly different in this post on reboot, hold the + volume first (everywhere else says both at the same time).

Used USB, downloaded files into PC, unzipped and placed files exactly as specified in the flash card. Very straightforward.

Using the internal version as I read some had problems with the external one. Maybe I have to put the internal one somewhere else then the root of the flash card?

I know it did not install correctly. Odd as everything else I have installed outside of this works great (well TouchDown Beta does not work ether)

That is the issue. :)

At least there are no suggestions of soldering irons yet :eek:

Probably better I just stay away from these mods as it's a time black hole and don't seem very stable. Looking for productivity, not sinkholes

tried the external one with the same results.

'After a recovery is invoked, the process will have removed your command file (whether it was successful or not), and you will have to replace it when you are ready to flash again. A trick you might like is to copy the command file to command.bak, and each time you want to flash, just copy the bak file to command so you don't have to upload it each time. It is safest just to recopy the update.zip and command files back into their respective places each time you plan on reattempting recovery, just to make sure both files have the appropriate content.'

But it keeps going straight into installing a new image (or backup? what backup?)!!! pushing + or - does nothing at all

Maybe I don't understand what the tool is supposed to do. I thought it would boot into a application that allows for managing backups and ROMS (select things), CMOS type of thing

This is hardly rocket science ;)

Must be the new build.
[G Tablet General] intech:
but this is,

NOTE 2: There are TWO dashes at the start of the command file contents, the image doesn't show it well (--update_package=SDCARD:/update.zip) or (--update_package=SDCARD2:/update.zip)

The clockwatch command line is incorrectly pointed at SDCARD2 in the zip file. It has to be changed to work 'out of the box'

There should be a note at the very least. :mad: or maybe fixed?

Missing step?
[EVO Shift 4G General] geekdaddy:
How is your Evo Shift Signal strength???

Just got my Shift two days ago and I generally like the size, speed, etc. Getting used to Android as I previously used a lot of WinMo and Blackberry devices.

The signal strength on this phone doesn't seem very good for me. My home has marginal Sprint coverage but Touch Pro2 seemed to have better signal strength and reception. It was rare that I ever missed an incoming call.

The shift gets a very weak signal and it sometimes drops to "no bars" for awhile.

I've also observed that the signal meter and my ability to initiate and maintain calls varies with how I hold it. I hold the phone with my right-hand, and have to hold it with my fingers near the top of the phone to get the best reception. Some other folks have posted similar problems. So I'm wondering if this is a general defect with the Shift or if my specific phone has issues.
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
first of all, update your PRL and your Profile, just to be sure.

But yes, the antenna seems to be at the bottom of the phone, and holding your hand over that area will indeed have an effect on signal strength. But unless you're already at your signal strength limit for calls, I don't think it makes much of a difference. I don't think the bars are entirely accurate, since my signal strength currently says -101, but I have full bars.

I haven't had any issues getting signal in places I've always had signal, and I actually seem to get better service in areas I couldn't get any service with my Hero, so I think it's an improvement.
[EVO Shift 4G General] EricSS619:
Signal strength is ok, but not as good as my Evo was.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Zardos66:
Its worse than my Hero, that's for sure.

Sent from my bathroom, with toilet paper.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Heelfan71:
Mine seems pretty bad so far. I seem to be roaming allot. Isn't that the triangle above the signal? I will go from one bar and then it will switch to roaming and 4 bars. Seems to go back and forth like that.
[EVO Shift 4G General] johnnycross22:
This:

and this:

WTF mate, in places where i'd get sometimes full bars with my evo i'm now down to 1 or 2 or even roaming. very strange. In my bedroom on the evo i'd generally stay around 2-3 bars and now i find myself in roaming on occasion. Hoping a radio update helps.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Heelfan71:
Indoors seem to be my biggest problem. Outside I get a good signal but if I am inside anywhere the bars go down drastically.
[EVO Shift 4G General] EricSS619:
not to mention the GPS is total crap vs my Evo that I traded in!

Stilll worth the trade though =)
[EVO Shift 4G General] Heelfan71:
why did you not like the evo? just curious.
[EVO Shift 4G General] EricSS619:
Honestly I think mine was just messed up, it lagged terribly and I tried everything to fix it. After I saw my girlfriends lag free shift it was a no brainer for me.
[EVO Shift 4G General] edgemaster191:
wow my Shift has great signal strength, way better than my Evo was.

i'm on my second Shift (first one had a bad ear piece speaker) and same experience with both. great reception so far :-)
[EVO Shift 4G General] bobbysteels216:
I was torn between getting an Evo and an Evo Shift. I played with them at my local Sprint store as they were side by side. When the phones were just sitting, both of them had 5 bars. When I picked the Evo up, it still had five bars and when I picked up the Evo Shift, the bars dropped to three. At that moment, I was going to get the Evo. After that, I kept hearing nothing but good reviews about the Evo Shift (amongst whiny minor complaints), saw that the Evo Shift's quadrants were pwning amongst non-rooted devices, and heard 1 too many complaints about the Evo's battery life; this pretty much sealed the deal for me. I had decided that I could live with the Evo Shift's apparent signal strength issues... Can HTC do something about the radio?
[EVO Shift 4G General] yokken:
I can't replicate the grip of death but sometimes I do notice my bars going from 0 or 1 to 5 or 6, it will just jump. I don't know why. But I haven't had any problems because of this so I don't really mind.
[EVO Shift 4G General] dnalevelc:
i have cupped my shift in both hands and held it against my chest and my battery only dropped one bar. I think that is a good sign and will not bother me at all.
[EVO Shift 4G General] wardfan220:
Err, you mean the signal not the battery right? If your battery dropped that much from cupping the phone, you have issues, lol :p
[EVO Shift 4G General] hammondnav:
God I wish people didn't obsess over "bars" and were reasonable like you. Bars don't mean anything, really. Monitoring signal levels in db makes sense, but people who talk about bars remind me of those who smack their TVs for better reception! :p

If you can make and hold a call without problems, it doesn't matter how many bars you have. Or if your phone shows 7 bars but you can't make calls, is that a good thing? There are no clear guidelines or standards on bars, so people need to stop obsessing about them.
[EVO Shift 4G General] wardfan220:
Agreed, I honestly couldn't tell you what my bars were at any given time. Other than in the bathroom, I know it's 0-1 there.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bobbysteels216:
That's odd because I get the best signal front Sprint in my house in the bathroom lol.
[EVO Shift 4G General] EricSS619:
Bars seem to make a difference to me when they go to zero and I lose my call. Now I know why this happens randomly with this phone. :(
[EVO Shift 4G General] onefasttreopro:
After exactly 14 days with my evo shift, i had the same symptoms with my phone yesterday. i woke up with my phone showing full bars, no bars, x, no bars, full bars, no bars, etc etc every 30-45 sec's. i figured possibly a tower down or something....then drove to work 20 miles away had the same issue in out and out service, texts not going through, browser timing out. i tried updating, resetting, battery pull, nothing fixed it.

I went into a sprint store and they were able to verify the problem as they watched the screen. i am officially the first warranty exchanged evo shift at that corporate store...according to the tech (who i know for the last several years, my phone failed the signal test of some sort. so if your phone sounds like mine more than likely its a defective radio/part inside and you should be able to get a exchange for it. hope that helps someone out in what to do.
[EVO Shift 4G General] geekdaddy:
So, did the new/exchanged phone function better? Sounds like this is a different problem vs the "I hold my phone and the signal strength goes down"

I'm the threadstarter here and I still believe my signal quality is worse than my TP2 based on dropped calls and the signal meter. BUT I really like this phone and the problem seems manageable for now. Would still love to see some improvement with a radio update...
[EVO Shift 4G General] onefasttreopro:
oh yea i forgot to mention, the new replacement phone is running perfectly, no signal dropping at all. im actually as we speak, trying to recreate this "hold it a certain way" signal dropping issue. hmmm. ive read about a few people with that issue but so far my 2 new shift's haven't shown that issue. so now i'll just see if maybe it was an app i had installed on the last phone and uninstalled.

so far i havent been running a task killer which may have been turning a feature on and off and causing the consistent signal drop. we'll see. i'll keep updating if i notice anything out of the ordinary.
[EVO Shift 4G General] abefroman:
