[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] worldnick:
Ok so now I'm rooted and I'm not installing OTAs, but where does that leave my phone? I read all the root information in the stickies and they say to get new ROMs once they become available, but where should I be following these new ROMs? Is there some place I can check every day or so often to discover if the latest OS version has a ROM? I think this is important information especially concerning security updates and such that may be included in the latest versions of Android. Perhaps this information (such as where to get the latest ROMs or even who is working on them or even what the latest version of the operating system that will work on an evo) is deserving of a sticky.

Thanks a lot for any help. Now that I am rooted I don't want to fall behind in important updates. I even heard the latest OTA for Evo has Swype. (I have a version, but even so...)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drewmungus:
Some ROMs have built in updaters like Fresh, Myns and others I can't remember. Also I believe the paid version of rom manager has a updater.

The best though is to bookmark the thread where you got your rom and check it every so often.

I wouldn't worry about daily updates, even the best dev will only update every couple weeks.

Also most of the sense based roms will update a day or two after a OTA update. ASOP are in their own category and generally update when Google or cyanogen release something new.

Is there any way to use linux's DM-crypt to encrypt the system partition? I already know that there is a version of cryptsetup for android that allows for the encryption of the external sd card. My concern is encrypting the system partition while still being able to boot. I know that various distributions of linux support this feature on desktops and laptops.
[G Tablet General] dblanketyblank:
I'm wondering for the g-tablet what the "best" ROM is at the moment and why you think so. Seems like TnT Lite was the one last updated from what I can tell so that's an advantage. I'm partial to cyanogen though since it's what I used on my phone. Just wondering what others thought and if any of them are more stable or have some better feature than another.
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
I've tried Cyan 7 beta 1 and TnT Lite 4.1 and TnT Lite 4.1 is faster and seemingly stable within the time period that I used it. Cyan 7 beta 1 is nice, but it feels a bit slow and it's not final, of course so you'd have to factor in possibly wiping the device to install a more current version when it does become stable. Haven't tried the others out of seeing other users having issues and installs borking people's tablets.

If I had to choose a 'best' right now, which of course may be premature not seeing the rest, but I'd pick TnT 4.1 for the few simple facts that it seems close enough to stock (I like being close to stock) and it feels quick and works very well from what I've seen. It didn't have the lag issue and didn't crash.

Of course I'm also sort of being a hypocrite because I only tend to stay on ROMs for a day or 2 and then go back to stock because of all the issues I see people reporting with even "stable" ROMs and since I don't have nor have ever encountered dire trouble on stock.
[G Tablet General] HorsexD:
Ide Choose Vegan 5.1 Beta Becouse Honestly I Dont really Like TnT at all. Vegan 5.1 B Is fast and pretty stable. Cyanogen has bugs but it looks like it will have somthing sooner or later so for now ide go with Vegan or if you preffer TnT. They Are the most stable atm. :cool:
[G Tablet General] ohieaux:
I tried all three and Vegan 5.1 Beta seemed to be the most stable and quickest. I'm sticking with it until gingerbread is out.
[G Tablet General] bahn76:
seconded, I also have tried all three. Vegan seems to be the best for daily use with the updated kernel.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] palmerx:
Hi,

I have an unlocked Treo Pro GSM phone and after doing a lot of reading I have managed to dump its ROM and I now have the four RAW files. However, I still can't find a way to rebuild the ROM and create a .nbh file out of them. Could someone please point me in the right direction or help me by rebuilding the ROM? I know I should only need part01 and part02.

I'm currently downloading Treo Pro kitchen and I assume it will be possible to rebuild the ROM with it, I just need some guidance. If anybody wants the RAW files please let me know and I'll upload them for you.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Using the kitchen posted here I have managed to create a os-new.nb file by clicking on Extra Buttons and then RAWS2NBH then I got a message "Need the ROM nbmerge command? I clicked Yes then got the message Execute NbhUtils to build nbh file? I clicked Yes, the NBH Utility pops up and I select PANT100 under Target Device and finally under NBH Items I select the path of the os-new.nb file for the OS item and clicked on Build NBH! I chose the output location but after I get a message saying that it is done there is no nbh file in the location I selected.
[Palm Treo Pro ROM Development] trickbiker121:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cmarti:
Locally there's some HD-2 seller's on craigslist that claim that their HD-2's are connecting to the New T-Mo 4G network.

For example: http://orlando.craigslist.org/mob/2168051796.html

Is it true? I am using the Nexus One but I am considering seriously buying a HD-2 because they are selling cheap these days.

Just want some clarification.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] akapaul26:
Doubtful, the HD2 is not 4g capeable to my knowledge. I know T-Mobile has renamed their data packages to 4G unlimited media but I spoke with a rep last night for another issue and they assured me that this don't mean you will recieve 4G and you would need a capable 4G device...the HD2 is not 4G capable.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hello00:
Nope not possible..Our HD2's can go up to 3.5G but that's about it. There is an H for 3.5G and an H for 4G. The H doesn't mean 4G on our phones. HD2 doesn't exploit the full benefits of HSPA+ It is definitely faster than 3G but not full board..Our version of HSPA is a lot faster than 3G especially upload speed wise
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jayton:
I got a text when they first broke out with "4G" saying that my phone would support it. Since it came out I have noticed a serious pick up in speed. My wife has a MT4G and our speed is about the same. Not sure what the other guys are talking about but from an extremely non-technical point of view, I would say yes based on the text I received and MY personal experience. I also noticed Orlando was on the list and I vacationed there in Dec., my wife and I both got the HSPA+ service while we were there, just FYI. If you are thinking about getting one to take advantage, you will notice a considerable difference.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rr5678:
You have an HD2. NO HD2 in the world is 4G capable. Our phones use HSDPA. Their phones use HSPA+. The HD2 does NOT have the hardware for 4G. It will never have it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jayton:
I think my post was pretty clear in saying I received a text from T-Mobile stating that my phone would support the new network, and was also pretty clear that I said I am not sure if it "technically" is 4G, but I again reiterate that it is a considerable bump in speed, and that is undeniable. To each his own but I love my HD2 on the new network (as I had it well before the roll out) and to the OP, you won't regret the purchase. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rr5678:
That, I can agree with.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HectiQ:
Sure, and a edge phone is also supported on a 3g network lol.

When there is 5g, you will even be able to call and use data. Only not at same speeds. Don't misinterpr.

While you will not get HSDPA+ speeds which is Tmobile 4G you do benefit from having a tower upgraded to HSDPA+ with higher transfer speeds approaching the 7.2mbps HSDPA theoretical max and lower latency.

SO YOU MEEN MAH T-MOBILE WING CAN GET DA 3GEES? HOORAE!!! :p:p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hd2k10:
To sum up this thread because some people are going to get mislead (or still don't understand) T-Mobile has 3G, 3.5G and 4G, the HD2 is a 3G phone with HSDPA capabilities (3.5) and I believe the HD2 is capable of 7.2Mb down and 2Mbit up.

The TEXT you receive saying you're 4G COMPATIBLE does not mean you're 4G capable, it means that because T-Mobile upgraded to 4G, you can still use the network (some older phones supposedly wouldn't work when they upgraded and they got free upgrades [my girlfriend was one of them who had this happen even though her phone was still working])

The HD2 as said is not and will never be 4G capable, the HARDWARE doesn't support it.

3.5G is more than enough for anything you need on the HD2 (or anything), you don't have video conferencing so it shouldn't matter to you (unless you get or make one of those mirror attachments).

That HD2 you see is nothing special, it's just an MDJ kernel (capable of those 1536Mhz speeds you see) with someone who doesn't know what 4G actually is and thinks the "H" icon means 4G instead of 3.5G.

Either way, get the HD2, it's worth it.

I said the very same thing you just said in a shorter post and I got the bull**** "I was clear" response.

Only Edge working on EU LEO in the USA T-Mobile Network Why???

Hi Guys,

I have a speed problem on my HD2 while I am connected to the US T-Mobile network. (In Germany I have O2 everything is working fine.) I bought a prepayed sim card at the Time Square New York. My HD2 was original from Germany T-Mobile. I know there are 2 different HD2, a US version and a European version.

I have this Bootloader running:

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-3.03.000 XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x40

My Radio is:

R 2.15.50.14

Protokoll Version:

G 15.42.50.11U

3.14.04666

My Rom is:

Artemis 54.0 GER

I also use Android from SD-Card there I have the same speed "only Edge"

I think I need a diffrent Radio to get connected to the T-Mobile US, am I right? I understand your discussion here about the speed 3G or 4G. I would be happy with 3G even if the network provide 4G. So that is not my problem. Is there somebody who had the same problem? Or does anybody know how to get the US T-Mobile running fast Data connection on a EU LEO??

Thank you for help.

I am downloading the T-Mobile US Stock ROM 3.14.1 from this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=655653

Do you guys think I can flash a T-Mobile US Stock on my EU Leo?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BillTheCat:
I don't think so, because the EU models have less internal RAM so a stock Tmobile ROM won't fit, unless someone out there cooked it down to use extended partitions. However there are many really good ROMs that will work on your machine. I"m running DL DesireZ, and very happy with it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projectseahorse:
I just installed xRecovery Installer... and when I go into the xrecovery installer icon, and press install xrecovery, my phone asked for root rights, and after I give permission nothing happened... Is there going to be a new icon for xrecovery or its just a program that runs in the background and will not add an extra icon? I'm also suspecting that I did not install xRecovery correctly because I tried to boot into xrecovery by restarting the phone and press back button 11 times ( I assume that the back button is the right of the 3 buttons) but nothing happened. How would I know if I had installed xrecovery correctly? What is the current version of xrecovery? the one I have is 0.2 release. Thanks for the help!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alankstiyo:
think you didn't install it correctly

inside here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9561641

I'd recommend you to follow these steps

Manual Installation:

- Download the apk, rename it to xRecovery-0.2-release.ZIP

- Unpack the file, find ./res/raw folder inside. It should contain 3 files (chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar)

- copy these 3 files into /system/bin using root explorer (remember to remount /system rw

those worked for me, auto installation doesn't work all the time

Another tip too, make sure that you have busybox installed from the market
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projectseahorse:
By automatic installation, it means that I just copy the apk files to my phone's memory card, and run it from there right? and after the apk install the xrecovery installation icon, I just press on that and everything should be good?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
you copy the one .apk file and start it with one of the file managers.

install it, start xRecovery, tap install.

Apparently i'm too stupid to get this working. (That, or it just doesn't work on my Xperia X10.) But i know the xRecovery files are in the system\bin folder, i triple checked.

Even moved them in manually replacing the ones in there. Reinstalled BusyBox from market so it's running 1.7.1, AND i keep holding the back button down on boot of the phone, but to no avail it seems, nothing happens.

It goes from the white SE logo, to the swirly colors, and then to the SE logo with the bubble above it. And i kept holding Back down the entire time...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
No holding the back button.. tap it several times when SE Logo shows.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordGabriel:
Didnt work either. And yes i'm pressing the right button. ._.'

Still goes from SE logo, to swirly colors, to SE logo with bubble above it, to Android. No xRecovery at all.

I know I am a few months behind on this post, but I have been having the same problem. Here is how I got it to work.

Everything works now.

P.S. this is my first post on xda so I will use it to thank everyone here for their hard work making this phone all it can be. I was a bit intimidated when I first started trying to improve and upgrade it but with the help of this forum all the hard work was already done. You guys are great, :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krispygreen:
Reboot your phone and when you see the "Sony Ericsson" screen press the back button 2-3 times to be sure and you should enter xrecovery.

there your screen wont work, toggle the menu with volume button, home button is enter and back button is back. As a first thing to do go into Back Up and Restore, and select Back Up, your phone will back up your current Rom. After that select reboot phone and your phone will be as it is and your ready so safely flash some custom roms. Have fun
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crater:
So got my G2 today, rooted, installed Hboot, started up the phone, logged into all my accounts, got stuff how I wanted. Made a backup via Clockwork.

Then I tried out CM7 Nightlies, decided its pretty good but I wanted to go back to my backup. Loaded into Clockwork hit recover, picked my backup. The phone then just sits on the HTC screen. Never going to the G2 screen or getting back into the OS. I can't get a logcat from it either to see if it is crashing. I can get back into recovery, and flash another rom, but why isn't my backup of my original image working? There are no errors when restoring, I've tried a few times.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
If you are using CM7, does this mean you upgraded to one of the CWM3 recoveries? Not sure if this has changed, but backups made with the older CWM2 recoveries are not compatible with CWM3. You will need to reflash back to the older recovery before restoring your backup (pretty sure there are lots of warnings about this in the CWM3/CM7 threads, so you should probably check those out to see if this is no longer the case).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crater:
I used CWM3 to make the backup, i assumed that would work to restore it.

EDIT: Okay. so CWM3 can't handle ANY Froyo, regardless of if the backup was made with it. Misunderstood that part. Flashed to CWM32 and it worked. Thanks.
