Very helpful guide, well written, thanks for creating it :)

Just one question, I believe the custom themes can only be applied to a Deodexd rom... therefore only currently work on custom roms such as Docs or Darkys etc...

If I follow the steps for Xultimate and deodex my stock JPU, this should let me use the custom themes, or am I missing something...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shantzu:
Yes, themes normally only work on deodexed ROMs. You can either deodex your ROM manually or flash an already deodexed ROM.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] GeneralSmart:
I got most out of my phone: learned how to use 3-button-combo, flashed darkys 9.3 Rom (thanks to darky), and flashed damiangto kernel (now on 1.2 beta 5) so i got constantly more than 1900 points on quadrant...(using quadrant to compare)

Thanks for the info. But I'll stick to my blue theme and my black notification bar...it might not last that long but then again I'll probably upgrade my phone in 1-2yrs and I'm sure my sgs will still be running lol - unlike the iphone where you will need to get a new one because your battery is dead lol.

how do you take away the clock??? and the battery icon is also blue which cannot be changed.

SGS battery - 1.5 days, still at 79%

using Juwe 11 ROM 3.2 GB 2.3.2, got 3% battery drain in 11 hours:)

switched to GSM only while idle, wifi never sleep, switched off HSDPA/GPRS when not in use - this is a power saver !

Also - Weather bug desktop widget drains power - removed app.

Hope these tips help.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] doktorV:
Thanks very much for this - am a total noob at these sort of things and having much difficulty trying to root my i9000M. This thread answers some of my questions but I still have many! Want to be extra cautious for fear of doing the wrong thing and damaging my phone.

One specific query - have tried a couple of the 'one-click' options without success (but also without bricking my phone thankfully). Got Odin now and am keen to use your guide for rooting. Have been to samfirmware and can see links to downloading firmware but i'm confused - are they the standard kernels/firmware listed there? ie. unrooted kernels? and do i try to download the one that matches my current firmware or one that is more recent/upgraded? Is the aim of that site to get a 'backup' version of my current firmware in case something goes wrong or am i trying to get a 'better' firmware than what i already have?

sorry if i sound a complete novice...but i am! my first handset had some fault that req'd replacing the phone - the replacement handset had eclair 2.1 (whereas my original had froyo 2.2). didn't realise this for awhile after getting it. The replacement had 16GB internal memory though whereas my original had 8GB, so I was happy enough to let it slide!

it's sourced from Canada - Bell, and has lots of stock apps I want to remove.

Just how many 'good thread' replies are we going to get here? I keep seeing the thread has new posts, so go take a look and find it's yet another person saying 'Great thread, thanks' or similar.

Consider:

If you want to thank the OP, there's a 'Thanks' button after each post.

If you want to say it's a great thread, there's a 'Rate this thread' link at the top of the page.

If people would use the facilities specifically put there for these purposes then the thread wouldn't fill up with pointless posts! Thank you.

Hello,guys. I have flashed my device to Android 2.3.4., rooted it and installed voodoo kernel.

However, I have serious issues with lack of RAM memory (140 mb after booting and 70mb in normal usage). It has a noticeable lag after closing internet or more powerful game. Having 4 tasks to work simultaneously is simply impossible (internet,gallery,facebook and music.player at the same time,for instance-it simply shuts down the most resourceful one).The worst thing of all is that after doing this heavy tasks I want to open the phonebook and this takes 5-6 seconds!

Is there any possible way to improve smoothness and multitasking capabilities of this.beast?

I don't understand why... as long as I can transfer files through it why doesn't charge ??!??

Anyone ?

Hi

I'm running the Tegro Rom 2.4.1 for my GSM Hero, and generally, very happy with it.

Under Personalise, there is an option to change the number of home screen pages from 5 to 7. I did that and it worked initially.

Now, I have noticed I am back to 5 home screens again - and the option under personalise is now greyed out and cant be changed.

I have installed a few themes in the meantime, perhaps one of those has caused problems with it.

Is there any way to get back my 7 home screens - a feature I really enjoyed?

I would have posted this in the actual Tegro forum itself, but it does not allow me to as I've not had 10 posts yet.

Is there a way of creating and deploying an wp7 app that would be only available to our company agents.

As far As I understand this you can only deploy any app via the Market Place - this is useless for any internal business application.

Do I need to wait for better mobile device management or is there away around this ?

Any pointers appreciated guys.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiwas:
Two ways to do it, the way I see it...

1. Add the program to marketplace, but require an registration number to be inputted in the program for it to work.

2. Side-load it
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
2 won't work, as it could be redistributed.

1 might, but we all know how well registration models work (cracks)

this might be a job for phone-home drm.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Hades32:
This would probably be the best, especially considering that your agents probably need to login anyway.

But I think that you won't pass certification if they can't test the app.

I don't know what your company does, but maybe you could release an app that is many targeted at your customers and everyone could use. This app could then have a hidden setting to enable special functions after a agent has logged in.

Microsoft are planning on supporting this in the future, their current suggestion, IIRC, is to use some sort of login though.

Hey ,

I just started to flash WP7 on my HD2 (7) and I am really happy with that, I begin to love that new OS from our friends MS...

Just wanted to know, whoch Radio ROM you use for max performance (connections) ?

Had the 2.10 and 2.12, but it is not possible to synchronize the clock automatically. Any idea?

Which Radio to use und what about the APN to sign in? (I use T-Mobile Germany)

And BTW: If anybody has a valid activation key, would be that much kind to send it to my PM :)

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] arkatis:
For me the Radio didn't made any diference at all! Some members here are stating that they switched from 2.15.50 to 2.12.50 cause of battery drainage. Not big deal must say!

As for a valid activation key you need to get your own from Microsoft!

Check the forum and you will see solutions and methods that you can try in order to obtain an activation key!

Hey all,

Maybe someone can help me out.

Two weeks ago i installed andoid on my HTC HD2.

I used HPSL, radio 2.15.50.14, MAGLDR112 and NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.1_NAND. A few days ago, without any reason i got a white bootscreen and i still have it :(

What a did so far:

* New HSPL3, but the radio didn't connected anymore, error 270.

* A new MAGLDR, i reached 100% in a blink, but then an error 270.

* Using a SD with the original leoimg, i get a (00018003 radio fail) error after a few % and the update failed.

* task29, but again no connection. (after 5 min error 262)

* new USB drivers installed for windows 7 and i also tried it on an windows Xp computer.

So far i only reached my 4 colored screen with:

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-2.08. HSPL 8G XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x30

* The original rom was RUU_Leo_S_HTC_NLD_3.14.404.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship

Last question, how can i check that the batttery is stil oke for flashing.

Anyone who has a clue what to do?

Thanks in advance.

greetz!

Rob;)
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
Mate, I think you´ve done everything. HSPL and Radio ROM versions correct etc.

Since I see more and more people reporting similar problems like you, I get the feeling that some Android builds might have some strange effects on Radio ROMs.

There are too many people with SPL and Radio ROM problems, eg. stuck in bootloader or at the white startup screen.

This didn´t happen at this pace before Android NAND.

Only 1 question though:

Did you try to flash the original ROM using RUU.exe, SSPL or LeuCustomRUU via USB, without having the SIM and the SD card inserted? In rare cases, either one or both were trouble makers...

EDIT: Second question:

What kind of SD card did you try? Bigger cards seem more problematic, too.
[HD2 General] Magazijn:
I used a 2 gb micro SD card to go back to the original Rom.

I didn't tried to go back to original ROM using USB, because of the connecting problems. So that i'm gonna do now. Any suggestions which to use best?

After your post i tried to the flash with (and without) the formatted sd and the simcard, unfortunatelly i didn't work.
