[G2 and Desire Z General] tazz9690:
I love development and the Android community. So much choices to satisfy anyone's flavor. Here in the G2/Desire Z forums, I believe there is plenty of development. QUALITY development.

In the G1 forums, when it was still really popular, you would just see the forums flooded with all different kinds of ROMs, from several devs. I tried out tons of them, but none of them, except a handful were well made (Cyanogen, JAC, Haykuro, to name a few). Pretty much all the half assed ones were all basic copies of all the other ones, or rip offs of the good ones. In addition there were only two types: stock and sense.

With our forums, we have so many possibilities. Stock, modified stock, froyo, gingerbread, sense, miui. Our hardware can actually support all this too and run well, unlike on other devices.

It doesn't end at roms. We have kernels, modifications, hacks. Anything to make your phone unique. And may I say, our processor is an overclocking champion. I can load up the 1.8 Ghz kernel and run it all day every day, stable. Now, I don't do it, but it's nice to have the option.

In addition to all of this, our phone is still relatively current. Next gen snapdragon processor, nearly 2 gigs of accessible rom, 512 megs of ram, decent screen, stock froyo. I don't see why the G2 wouldn't receive a 2.3 OTA.

As time progresses, I can see more and more devs pop up to try and take the reigns of development for this forum. It's a matter of when, not if.

Haha, funny. Yup your right it was but they do a lot to the cliq on there. The blurry eclair rom was sweet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] legendary1022:
I don't really feel that way at all. There are the roms that most consider relevant, the sense roms (which has been consolidated into virtuous) and the cyanogenmod team that is so large now that most of the top developers have teamed up. Sure the number of roms are down but the quality is top notch

[G2 and Desire Z General] Jacobmowry:
I agree to a certain point. If it wasn't for the Devs then this phone wouldn't see anything. There is barely any support from the manufacturers (ie. docks, car docks). They released the G2/Dezire Z then the Nexus S comes out and it's a forgotten phone from their standpoint.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KoolKidsKlub:
Yeah, modmymoto was the best site around for Moto modding. Good to see an original Moto modder here. I also modded Motorolas, I modded two RAZR V3's . I loved the fact that you could seriouly mod EVERY LITTLE thing; from small stuff like removing the anoying buzz noise when the phone is near a speaker through a seem edit to stuff like changing the housing to all gold, I saw this one guy put a see-through housing on his RAZR V3 wand made his keypad gold and all the sound up and down buttons down or some other bits of gold parts in it. I loved modding Moto's, I remember that I had an iPhone theme with an iPhone icon pack and an iPhone font, I always used the Mulifex way of flashing, I liked that way the most. I loved the fact that I could change my service provider to 'Beast-Mobile' and change the names of the items in the menu, like for example I had my phone book says "my name's Homies" like "KoolKidsKlub's Homies" I wish that I could change stuff like that on an Android phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] theratdude64:
I've modded stuff like this for as long as I can remember :cool: XDA rules, lol. I once bricked a Moto Rokr E8, but I think that's about the only thing I've genuinely bricked haha. I always tell people it usually takes talent to brick an android. I just scored a Vibrant because it was "bricked" and I resurrected it.

Agreed@ the post that if this phone didn't have Dev's, it wouldn't see anything at all. I haven't seen any docks for it, yet there are dock settings. Yet the phone I do have a dock for has no dock settings :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Zarks123:
Hi Guys... I'm a rooting / modding NOOB so please forgive me if I'm an idiot about something here...

However I did everything the How To: Root Your Android Phone (SuperOneClick Method) and I'm rooted, I got the Rom Manager running and am able to backup and restore my 2.2 Froyo Rom w/o any issues. Rocks!

But as soon as I get a custom ROM installed (or RESTORED) on my phone, nothing works I'm in the MyTouch boot loop... all I can do is get back to the RESTORE screen and restore my original images... any of them... I have a few now... once clean, one with buch of stuff installed, one with just some apps... all work great once restored. But not any custom ROMS :confused:

Am I missing anything? One thing I have not done is partition my SD card.. will that help? Please advise...

Anything will help...

Thx guys!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
This seems to be a common probably for people rooting from the 2.2 update. Your going to have to downgrade to 1.6, root using Universal Androot instead of SuperOneClick and then do everything else with ROM Manager as you did before.

EDIT: And here's the nipple.

Search google for a tool to format your card with. Most of the time you can format it normally as fat32 but youre actually supposed to format it them a special way

Exchange the card it may be bad, I've held off buying a 32gb card because half of the reviews on Newegg for 32gb cards are negative and report failures or DOAs. Seems like the techs a little immature. Sandisk is the most reliable brand though.

Just root my friends EVO (I didn’t flash a rom, just stock Sprint) and when I tried to show him how to setup the Sprint Mobile Hotspot I got error message #67: “logging or password may be wrong….” but the weird thing is that my laptop recognize his phone on the available wireless network list.. Obviously I don’t know what Pass or logging is referring to but, I did some troubleshooting and here is what I found out; when I check the box to turn mobile hot spot on instead of say ready like it will says on my EVO it says “ No Mobile network” and then the error 67 massage pops-up. Then I went to Wireless & Networks and notice that the when I check the box for Sprint Mobile network it disable the Mobile Network immediately, the letters will change from bright white to dark gray. Please, can someone tell me what should I do to solve this issue !!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
To me it almost seems like something is wrong with it. You can try rebooting or downloading the wireless tether app [free], to start with.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Rooting alone will not let you use the Sprint hotspot app for free. There is a separate hack for that, I think it's one of Calkulin's. You can however, download Wireless Tether for Root Users and use that for your free tethering.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluemoon1221:
Ok before I go into my question I want to tell you that I've tried a lot of different roms, and tried changing a lot of settings for the GPS.

My best performance was when it took me about a minute to get accurate to 50 meters but my GPS never locks on me. It doesn't even lock on me when I'm just walking on the street.. This made me really frustrated. And btw I can't return it and get a new phone...

Anyway I was looking through and found a thread saying that you should scratch the part where your battery meets the phone(the two small gold part).

I can't seem to find this thread again so I was wondering if anyone had a

Step by step tutorial or screenshots or a video. Please help..

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtoZ0to9:
before you go scratching your phone, maybe try to get it working again... mine used to never lock either but it finally works now after changing roms, modems, and gps files.... if you cant get a lock with no case on it, and the battery cover removed, its most likely software... did it work stock?

can u post specific info? what rom, modem, gps files, and gps server are you using? people have different results with different combos, and it took me forever to get mine to lock so i'll try to help, i don't want you to damage your phone trying to get it to work...

It didn't work on stock. I've tried perception , firebird, cognition, the kitchen thing, darky, assonance, axura. My current rom is darky which I have the best result. The GPS server was the supl.google.com I think. And I didn't try out didn't modems.. I basically just tried out a bunch of roms...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtoZ0to9:
might as well do the registration with samsung to have it repaired or replaced.... or take it by an att service center after flashing stock... theyll replace it on the spot for u... but most likely with a refurb... sorry u got a lemon man... id take it by the retail store first and see if you can get a new one... bring everything with you... but theyll most likely refer you to the service center...

[7 Mozart General] msalmank:
Hi All...

I was listening to some tunes on the Mozart today with my hands-free plugged into the device... and later when i tried playing audio songs over the speaker, it didn't output the sound.

To cut a long story short, even though i've plugged in and taken out the hands free numerous times, the phone still/always thinks that i have the hands free plugged in... thus no audio over speakers and i can't answer phones either without either plugging in the hands-free or turning on the speaker phone...

Any ideas on how to get this corrected?

Regards.
[7 Mozart General] soft_sainty:
I have made an reset and solved the problem!
[7 Mozart General] msalmank:
I soft-reset the phone multiple times without success... and finally did a a hard-reset, but the problem persists!

[7 Mozart General] msalmank:
Ok.... so here's it got fixed... FINALLY!

I was at the gym today and while working on a machine, the phone slid out of my pocket and fell onto the floor... And VOILA!!! It now works properly! :P

So if you ever run into this weird ****ty problem and have already tried putting in and taking out the handsfree/headset as well as soft-reset and hard reset... then just hold the device at waist length and let it fall onto the floor...:P
[7 Mozart General] ching4ever:
i'm guessing when you plug in the hand free, it actually push something down and doesn't come back up, that's why it keep on remains on hand free mode. Just my 2cent, probably a strip on the phone to see the hardware design.
[7 Mozart General] msalmank:
That's my thought was... but i tried using a pin to touch every single pin i could find in the hole... but no luck with that.

Ever since i dropped the phone and it started working properly again, i haven't had this problem again... :)

right guys here's the problem...

my friend rooted my Hero and its currently running 2.3 gingerbread. I want to unroot it but I am not able to connect to HTC Sync because it will only let me 'turn on USB storage' which is basically just mounting the SD Card and HTC Sync does not recognise that there is a phone connected. I want to unroot my device so I can get the original 2.1 update because I prefer Sense UI and its less laggy and more responsive I feel. If anyone needs to know my phone is running 2.3.2 and my mod version is: CyanogenMod-7-02032011-NIGHTLY-Hero

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattnmd:
OPTION 1:

----------

well if you have android gingerbread and are rooted you should have a recovery partition too ;)

anyways, you can access it by turning off your phone and holding the home button when you turn your device on..

if you want 2.1 update 1 you should download a rom (villain, sensehero or other) from the development section, wipe all (backup your current rom first and messages and anything you want to keep), flash zip (place the zip you downloaded on your sdcard)

and reboot ;)

you should now have android 2.1 and still with the benefits of root :D

OPTION 2:

----------

download a RUU from htc website and follow the instructions ;)

probably you will need to download the 1.5 and upgrade afterwards..

hope this helps a bit ;)

grtz :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malismalis:
Hy!

I wanted to ask, if i want my original 2.1 rom back. What should i do? I dont want any custom roms. But when i put my original rom i want to keep root acces. And when i have a root acces on original rom how can i launch CPU overclock? i would be very thankful if you can write a step by step tutorial how to do my desired thing.

Thanks already! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattnmd:
well, the problem is.. if you want to overclock you need a kernel that is capable to do so and is mostly included in custom roms.. the other option is to install original rom, then root it again, install custom recovery, flash for example flykernel and install setcpu ;)

short tut:

1. backup everything you want: ROM (nandroid in recovery), messages, apps, contacts, other..

2. Follow THIS tutorial to restore your orignal firmware (RUU file) (try the 2.1 version first, mine didn't work and had to upgrade from 1.5 firmware ;) )

2a. If 1.5, then upgrade to 2.1 ( you'll get notification )

3. root your hero and install recovery with THIS

4. download flykernel and setcpu from dev section

5. flash flykernel 12a through recovery

6. install setcpu2.1.apk and enjoy ;)

this is quite a detour to obtain what you want, it's just easier only to flash a custom 2.1 sense ROM because they have optimisations on everything, they are faster, pré rooted and you don't have to do all this above :p

so choose whatever you want, i would go for just installing custom sense :D

grtz
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkn3000:
make sure you back up your cantacts if your signed in to your google account just make sure you have sync your cantact with your google account if you want to know how to do that go into your settings and go to account and sync then uncheak auto sync and then click your email and then click on contacts then it should sync your cointacts with your google account

frist go and download a sense rom here is a link to

http://www.villainrom.co.uk/vBwiki/index.php/VillainROM_12_Series

after that finishes downloading put it on the root of the sdcard which means it is not in any folders

next turn off your phone and hold the power and home buttons at the same time then it will reboot into recovery mode and then wipe everything after wiping everthing (use the tackball to move) and then go to install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard and choose the rom you download earlier

after that finishes hit the back buttom and choose reboot system now and this boot should take aroud 5-10 minutes if you get boot loops pull your battery out and wipe it again you should not get boot loops if you wiped it.

next go though the setup wizard then go here http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1073&news_id=856 and download htc sync

next go here

and download the ruu file i thick they are 1.5

then click on ruu file you download and follow the instructions and then you will be unrooted and back to stock
