[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Ive ran the 12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26 and now I'm on the 12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17 and to me it seems that the 26.04.02.17 radio is working better for me, about the same with wifi but a little better signal improvement with data over the network. I'm in the Los Angeles CA. area.

The only available ENG Hboot is the one on the XDA Wiki right now. I have the stock ENG. Hboot 0.76.2000 from the Wiki and have no issues with it, I'm able to flash everything that available for the G2, no problems.

You can use any hboot now for CM7 since rom manager released the official CWM recovery 3.0.0.5, it now supports both 2.2 and 2.3 roms. Even before this there were ways to flash the new recovery without the ENG. Hboot. and get Cm7 but now its, pretty straight forward.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamouz421:
Thanks for the quick and clear reply. I already flashed CM7 but with the 82 hboot and I just wanted to make sure I was doing everything properly. As for the radio, I'm gonna update to the new radio 12.28h.60.14 0f_26.06.02.27_M_ and get a new router, still using linksys wrt54g lol.

Also, when flashing new roms, for example CM roms, do they flash the radio? I think some do but im not sure.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Roms never flash a new radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Ours don't - only because the dev's don't feel the need to put it in there (no point). Other phones do it though, mostly when a stock upgrade is released (2.1 to 2.2 for instance) and there is also a radio update with it. It's literally a one line script you put in the update_script in order to flash a new radio.

Hi everyone,

So I'm a big fan of supercurio's work with Voodoo sound, but I'm also a semi-OCD theming/graphic design nerd, lol.

So I made a couple gingerbread style status icons, and found a way to enable them in the voodoo control app, and thought I'd share them for anyone else that's interested.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9401664/stat_notify_icon.png

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9401664/stat_notify_icon 2.png

Download whichever icon you prefer (please note, that the white space in both icons is actually "negative" space, so that will be transparent, and inherit the color of your status bar) and make sure its named stat_notify_icon.png

Then decompile the voodoo control app (I used apk manager), and browse to /smali/org/projectvoodoo/controlapp and open VolumeManager.smali

Change line 846 in VolumeManager.smali to:

const v9, 0x7f020002

Save and close that file, and navigate to /res/values and open Public.xml

Right after

<public type="drawable" name="icon" id="0x7f020001" />

Add the following line, then save and close:

<public type="drawable" name="stat_notify_icon" id="0x7f020002" />

Now copy the icon into /res/drawable-hdpi

Finally, compile, sign (zipalign if you want) and install.

Make sure you uninstall your old version first, or this will fail to install because of the signature mis-match.

Anyway, hope someone else likes this, and Supercurio is free to use either icon in the app if he wants.

Cheers everyone, =)

What does Device Manager show? A yellow question mark or anything? Did you install all of the correct pc drivers after the rebuild, either off of the CD it came with or from the manufacturers site?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellbringer616:
It show's h: with a yellow exclamation mark, by time i select it the device stops registering again. I used the HTC drivers from the HTC Sync app from the site.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Was there anything else in Device Manager that had the exclamation point? Is your phone rooted? If so, try installing Unrevoked's USB drivers. You are selecting disk drive on your phone when you connect it to your computer right?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reodan92:
Hi all, sorry I'm a noob so please bare with me. /flameshield up. Anyways I've had a tmobile HD2 since it has been released and my brother is the one who has always tinkered around with my phone (no longer around), so I have no idea what he's done to it. Anyways right now it is currently running WP7 but it keeps restarting for me and sometimes all my data gets erased. I used to have android 2.2 on it but it also used to freeze up also. I was just wondering, is there a guide I can follow to go from WP7 back to Android 2.2 along with something that might help my phone stop freezing?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Your phone is restarting cuz of your sd card or it is incompatible with WP7. You need to format the sd card with panasonic formatter, full format btw. If that doesn't work, you need a new sd card.

To flash MAGLDR android do this:

Download a MAGLDR android build of your choice , don't ask me which please, all of them are great and oyur phone is compatible with all of them

power off phone

power on phone whilst holding power/end call button button

hold power button until a menu pops up

Using your volume keys to go up or down go to USB Flasher

Use the call key to select USB Flasher

Connect your phone to the PC.

From the android build you downloaded, go to its contents and run DAF.exe, in administrator mode btw.

Read and click next, if no read me pops up, ignore and keep going on.

Android should be installed.

For flashing a clockwork mod build, there are plenty of guides on how to, just search and read up on it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reodan92:
Tyvm, I got android booted but it freezes when it says "Preparing SD card" I assume its my sd card thats making it freeze, so ill grab a new one and hope that works. I've also noticed that my phone gets very hot when it freezes, could it be that my cpu is working to hard, thus making it overheat and freeze?
[Off-topic] ecomp_streaker:
On the announcement that Nokia's CEO is dumping everything for Windows Phone just tore another open source hole in my heart. I owned a Nokia N900 for some time and it was the best device for just about anything, no less a feast of info for Nokia to feed off of for future phone releases and designs. However, as the MicroMonolopy tentacles do, Nokia dumps intelligence for mediocre and more of the closed-brained devices will now pierce us everywhere.

I was one of those that read every Meego update I could and googled every week to see when a Nokia smartphone was released with the anticipation of the kid at Christmas. I have had Win, Android, Symbian and straight Linux phones and nothing compared to the usefulness overall of the N900. The N900 was the first device that got me thinking I didn't need my tablet PC anymore, as I could just do everything right there on that little screen. I was even thinking of a test drive on the E7 just released, despite the Symbian system it had echoes of being an N9 without Meego. Then, the dunderheads removed all the disk space and SDHC and removed my cool FM radio as well. And, to add frustration, the Win7 phone announcement.

I don't know anyone elses opinion here, but

I am not completely done with Nokia

. They have taken an exciting future and fed it to the Microbully monster, and smartphones will now be less SMART and more about marketing again. So much my phone evolving this year........maybe in 5 or 10 thanks to the MS thottle slowing another company.
[Off-topic] RoadRageCat:
I was done with Nokia when I saw the direction things were going while working as an engineer on devices like the N900. Needless to say, I haven't been at Nokia for a while now.

Now I'm here to hopefully get some info on my future phone which replaces my N900.

I was bit of a Nokia fan i only had their handsets ever since the 8210, they always did a good job whilst other messed up.

It would seem Nokia got left behind with the times as soon as iphone hit the market. They got complacent being no.1 for ages and failed to see the competition coming. It does not help when you release a new phone every month on different OS's. How can you possible support all these phones. The final nail in the Nokia coffin for me was the n97 i read all the reviews which were good prior to launch but boy were they wrong worst phone ever.

Been with HTC since and i have never looked back, sad what's happened to Nokia. RIP Nokia
[Off-topic] drait:
Yeah, such a pity about Symbian. Although I quite enjoy using Android, I was also looking forward to the rumoured Nokia E6 (Blackberry-form with the lastest Symbian^3) to keep as a work phone.

With the writing on the wall, I do wonder who is going to pick up these last Symbian phones, because I think they announced in the last conference call that they were expecting to shift at least 150 million Symbian handsets in the next few years. Not to me, they won't.

Mods: if my searching ability failed feel free to lock this but...

I have not been able to find a working mobile data toggle [ on/off ] for Gingerbread.

I used to use juice defender which I highly recommend as it worked wonders for my battery life. I have used a couple AOSP gingerbread roms in the last while and i noticed JD wouldn't enable for mobile data.

I have looked far and wide for either a widget, a scheduler just something that I can use without jumping into system settings; to easily turn on/off my mobile data and save battery life.

If anyone has any insight as to why this is such a problem for 2.3 i would love to know or if there is a known solution i haven't been able to find that would be great too.

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dkl_uk:
The only thing that I found to work was the Power Control widget. Add the Mobile Data icon and it'll work. Oddly though, the Power Control Plus (paid) one doesn't work very well and it gives you two options to enable or disable...which don't work.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ke5ehi:
On my phone, the AppBrain app would show apps that were not displayed in the market for update. However, it does not seem to be working on my Nook, but I also haven't synced my AppBrain with my gmail account either, so I don't know if that has something to do with it.

I just installed aTrackDog and so far it will show what needs to be updated, but when I click the app, all of the options in the menu are white, so I can't see it against the background.

Update: Apparently in all the reading I've done so far I did not see that this is a problem with the stock ROM. With a different ROM such as Froyo it will solve the not being able to see the text.

[Desire General] themikeyboosh:
Hi,

I've sent my desire away to tmobile uk for repair (GPS not working) and I've been tracking it online. Looked tonight and it has been returned, unrepaired due to water damage. Tbh I thought this might be the case. The battery indicator was pink, the one behind the battery was white, but unsure about the other one cos it's behind the void stickers.

Anyway, what if, I buy those void stickers and the water damage indicator stickers off ebay and 'repair' my phone and then send it to HTC direct for repair? Presumably HTC and tmobile don't share a repair centre etc? Anyone see any problems with that?

Also, it seems strange that the only thing to be damaged is the GPS chip.

tl;dr tmob said water damage. can I trick HTC repair direct with new stickers from ebay
[Desire General] warlordxxx:
Well to be honest that process is unethical and possibly illegal not only that i would assume if you have actually dropped your phone into water somewhere that there will be telltale watermarks inside the phone itself - Having dried off an old nokia years ago there was white watermark lines where it had gotten wet . It is remotely possible that they will fall for it but more likely they will not.
[Desire General] Meaple:
Insurance?
[Desire General] warlordxxx:
Good call perfectly legal too : don't forget may also be covered under your home insurance
[Desire General] erklat:
That would be the act of fraud as you put it. And no, HTC wouldn't have bought it either. T-com does no such things as repairs, they are merely a mediator between the user and the manufacturer. They would either accept the warranty claim and forwarded your phone to HTC, or simply decline the warranty and return the phone to the user. HTC is the one who does repairs and they probably keep track of their serial numbers, so you can kiss your warranty goodbye.
[Desire General] dannylill1981:
wow your an idiot do you know that.... your asking here if its ok to defraud htc and t-mobile........
[Desire General] mercianary:
Rooting voids the warranty, but it's not fraud when you send back an unrooted phone???

I don't get it, are some kinds of fraud ok but others against our delicate ethics?
[Desire General] warlordxxx:
Hmm well i can kinda see your point but when you root the phone sending it back rooted and pretending it wasn't would be fraud sending it back the way it came (unrooting) as long as it isn't a software specific fault is technically not, merely a way to ensure they fix an inherent problem with your phone. However if you dropped your phone in the loo the problem is water damage - changing the labels means you are trying to hide the water damage but no matter which way you look at it the phone is dead or parts not working because of the water damage

Most people that have bricked their phone through rooting won't even attempt to send them back but you can undo a rooting if the hardware has failed, however you can't undo dropping your phone in water.
[Desire General] themikeyboosh:
OMFG calm down. It's hardly fraud of the century. What's the worst that could happen?
[Desire General] th3:
That would be fraud, and ripping the company off. It wasn't their fault nor liability, so why should they fix it for you for free?

------------------------------

- Sent via HTC Desire -
[Desire General] erklat:
That is a bold statement to make. o.O

It is definitely the same dropping the phone in the water and rooting, or even better example, jailbreaking it in order to unlock some of it's functions which should have been available from the beginning. :rolleyes:
[Desire General] mercianary:
This is exactly my point, rooting the phone phone voids the warranty, plain and simple, its in black and white, but no one cares about this because its something we want so we can justify it. The phone is sold to you you without root access, by rooting, using root apps, overclocking or undervolting your using the phone for purposes it wasn't intended for, this puts extra stress on the device and increases its chance of failing, ie why your warranty is now void.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't unroot and send your phone back for repair, I would (and have) done the same thing.

Just because everyone is doing it doesn't mean its right, I'm sure HTC have lost thousands of pounds fixing phones broken by things we have done after rooting. But no one cares about this.

What difference does it make if you unroot or replace void stickers, the end result is the same, HTC are out of pocket the cost of the phone they have no obligation to repair but have been tricked into repairing, one sounds just as much like fraud as the other to me.
[Desire General] mikep99:
Drop it down the stairway, run over it etc....

Insurance is your friend. We pay enough for it so use it :)
[Desire General] Tillus:
The big difference is that rooting doesn't actually destroy your phone, whereas throwing it into the toilet does destroy it.

When people unrooted their phone to send it to HTC, they experienced a hardware fault, and hardware faults aren't caused by rooting the phone, right?
[Desire General] erklat:
Actually there is a slight possibility of some third party apps causing hardware malfunctions but that chance is so slim, that even if you are an utter moron, you have a greater chance of being bit by a shark or getting hit by a thunderbolt than ruining your phone by rooting.
[Desire General] mercianary:
People brick their phones flashing things they shouldn't have access to all the time (ie power failure while flashing hboot or radio generally results in a brick) and then send them back claiming a failed ota update, a practace not frowned upon at all.
[Desire General] themikeyboosh:
Do you think that a company has never ripped you off before? We get ripped off every single day. Do you not drive?

Anyway, listen to this:

I opened the phone up (warranty gone now) and guess what, the GPS antenna wasn't plugged in. So it was their fault after all! Water "damage" had nothing to do with it. It's been sent away in the past for a hardware fault so they must have not done their job properly when they reassambled it. GPS is working fine now.

So don't trust tmobile uk repair to do a decent job.
[Vibrant General] Andrew.Dodson07:
I have a Vibrant rooted running the Team Whiskey Bionix-v1.2.1 ROM. I have a few apps that I use daily, but the only one I know does any major damage to speed is beautiful widgets. I don't use any live backgrounds. I scored a 1536 on a benchmark test from Quadrant Standard.

Do you guys know of ways to better these scores?
[Vibrant General] wearmaize:
Use AutoKiller Memory Optimizer
[Vibrant General] regP:
Unless your phone actually feels sluggish I wouldnt worry about quadrant scores. If it is sluggish try installing Voodoo or one of the Universal Lagfix in the developers section.
[Vibrant General] Drewstein:
With a 1500+ quadrant he's already running Voodoo...

I do agree that unless the phone is feeling slow to not worry about it. Quadrant is pretty easy to fudge over 2k even though the phone isn't any faster.

Haha yes I have voodoo, bionix-v1.2.1 comes with it preset. Appreciate the help.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
actually, if you going for score some of the older J-rom series with over clock really scored high........ But with the current setup, you typically have 11-15 or so things that are open and TSR, if you remove alot of those to make it a vanilla barebones, then o.c it...... you can improve the score........ BUT speed scores are not worth much other than bragging rights.......... Like everyone else said if your phone is performing well then,..........who cares about the scores
[Vibrant General] Andrew.Dodson07:
Yea I'm just trying to see if there are things I can do to make it perform even better than it already is
[Vibrant General] regP:
What areas is the phone lacking performance for you?
[Vibrant General] Drewstein:
Go look up the Dragon 3.6 Kernel in the Dev section. You can overclock the phone a little or a lot depending how much it can handle. I'm running 1.2ghz at the moment.
[Vibrant General] Andrew.Dodson07:
It really isn't particularly lacking in any way that I can tell. But i remember thinking that same thing back when i had AOL dial up haha. I'm impressed with the phones ability now, i just want to know if this is as good as it gets
[Vibrant General] Settai:
Stock 2.2.1 is the fastest/smoothest ROM I've used on this phone ever and it hasn't even been optimized. I also downloaded the Dragon Kernel v3.6 and overclocked it to 1.28Ghz and its very stable. I always use my friends iPhone 4 to compare speeds and with the current setup I have now their isn't any difference in speed.
