[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TenorsRCool:
If this is something easily found in XDA or elsewhere, my apologies, but I haven't been able to locate an answer. I am, obviously, pretty new to this.

I have Froyo on my HD2 and would like to upgrade to Gingerbread. My concern is with the settings, apps, and data that are already in the phone. If I flash a Gingerbread ROM, will I lose these items and have to reset and redownload, or will the current settings and apps remain? Or is there an upgrade process different from the usual flashing process?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

All the RUUS you need. Select the one you want, boot your phone into the bootloader and select fastboot, then run the RUU exe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mediocrates:
If you have flashed a custom splash screen, you may want to replace it with stock first, before using the RUU. I believe I used an RUU before, and found out after the fact that it didn't touch the splash screen. Hope this helps!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heaterz16:
This was my exact thought. Is the stock splash available anywhere? Instead of running the RUU to revert back to stock, if you instead use the stock PC36img.zip would that replace the splash screen?

I was thinking about switching my splash, but wondering how to go back to stock if need be first.

EDIT -- Found stock splash 2nd post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=745205
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
Before I swapped out my opening day EVO [warranty claim], I ruu'ed it and forgot to change the splash and I partly thought that the ruu would overwrite this as well.... anyways, I had to reroot, change the splash back to stock, and then ruu it again. doh.

So I made just a simple theme for ADW, when I load it though all the themed icons look great, but the unthemed icons have really weird colorings. I know I didn't touch any of the icon color settings while making it because I'm color blind (Green-red, blue-brown) and wouldn't of been able to judge the colors correctly, so is there anything I may of overlooked?

[Wildfire General] adellon92:
Can someone work on a simple basic Android ROM that is not resource hungry, something like the Openfire Rom, with JIT enabled, but, the only problem with that ROM is the camera quality! So can anyone work around that problem?

Just looking for a Senseless Froyo Rom in its most basic form, but with a decent camera!
[Wildfire General] Alex_GP:
HewgBalls` Hybrid ROM, CM7
[Wildfire General] adellon92:
Hybrid is what iam running right now! And i really was dissapointed by CM7, i was on RC1 for a day, wasnt at all satisfied! iam looking for a more simpler ROM, i dont know if what iam saying makes sense! :p Something like the Vanilla Android, but with a proper functioning camera! In other words, Openfire with Camera!
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Just get some 3rd party Camera app in that case. As you probably have seen yourself, development on Openfire is now frozen / on hold
[Wildfire General] adellon92:
will that 3rd party camera app help in imroving the quality of the camera?
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
no it won't.

what was wrong with cm7? Maybe you had problems because of the default v4.2 overclock kernel. Most ppl flashed v4.1 and their problems were solved.
[Wildfire General] adellon92:
The minute i flashed CM7 i flashed the 4.1 Kernel!

Well first of all, the CRT animation stopped working, and there was no 3D effect in the app menu, basicly the two most prominent features of gingerbread, so yea, i decided to resort back to 2.2, and tried Openfire, ABSOLUTLY LOVED IT!! But then tried the camera, and then decided to resort to the Hybrid Rom, which i beleive is amazing as well!
[Wildfire General] nhnt11:
The 3D effect isn't there because CM uses ADW instead of the stock android launcher. If you want the 3d thing get ADW ex, its great.

The CRT animation works for me if i enable and run a2sd cachesd reset.
[Wildfire General] adellon92:
Can you tell me how to replace ADW with ADW ex? or atleast resort back to the stock launcher?

oh and how to do that a2sd cachesd reset thing?

really need help!
[Wildfire General] adellon92:
Alright so can anyone help me with the CRT animation problrm on CM7?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
It is said that wiping the dalvik cache restores it. This can be found in the Recovery Menu under the Advanced Tab. Not tested personally by me though, since, I can live without it.

BTW, I was under the impression you wanted a simple, fast, non resource hungry ROM, so why is the animation so important to you? :p
[Wildfire General] adellon92:
hahaha! Camera was an essential for me, and CM7 seemed pretty unstable with ADW, so i tried it with ADW EX, and its workinf like a charm! No issues so far! And ill try clearing the cache, but ive done it before and it didnt work! :/
[Wildfire General] Koori90:
Which rom is similar to Openfire?

I've just notice the camera problem..

CM7 is too much raw, and slow for me.. the keyboard it's to small compared to that of Openfire (do you know what is?)
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
It is designed like that, however, the later versions have the "bigger" keyboard. For an alternative to Openfire, you can look at CM6, but, video recording doesn't work on that.
[Wildfire General] adellon92:
So cant anyone work on a Vanilla android for the wildfire, with the camera?
[Wildfire General] Koori90:
i've already used CM6 and 7..

now i'm on the hybrid one and seems good :)
[Wildfire General] spaeter:
I've tried the HTC Hybrid V6 but i didn't find the way to disable 3G connections (perhaps its my problem...)

Now I'm testing Leaf r3, very simple, with 162MB free after the flash, so I can download only the application I really use.

The only "problem" found with the Leaf r3 is that i should insert the Apn parameters manually...

Hi,

I am sorry if i am asking a question that is already answerd, but i could't find it in other posts.

Thanks in advance.

What do you think is the best keyboard?

Personally I think swype is overrated. Gingerbread seems to be better but still lacking. I'm using smart keyboard now bc it has a free trial. I think I would prefer better keyboard bc of the skin support out there but it has no free trial. What do y'all think?

Have you tried the AOSP Gingerbread keyboard? Its actually a huge improvement over the eclair/froyo Android keyboard. Its up there with Smart Keyboard Pro. The only reason I use Smart Keyboard Pro over the Ginger keyboard is that SK has skins :rolleyes:

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamus28:
Oh wow thank you so much. Other ime's were just crashing on my aria. This one works great.

I have been using swiftkey pro for a few weeks now. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to display correctly in many apps because of the aria's small screen. Sometimes the keyboard covers up the text box, especially in landscape mode.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanGeorges:
I'm glad it works for you.

I have a "Frankenstein" setup on my phone, which combines most of the best of each ROM (Liberated and CM7).

I like the look of Sense, but I also like CM7's flexibility and other features (like built-in SIP).

I also like some of the Sense widgets (e.g., Friendstream).

So I loaded up CM7, then LP Sense UI, which makes the phone look like Sense (with widgets, too).

Adding the original keyboard makes the phone easier to use.

Have fun!

A little off topic, but does anyone know if there are any keyboards that have a 20-key option with predictive text (like the layout on the BB pearl)? Predictive works lots better when it only has to guess from 2 letters per key press instead of 3 (on a T-9 setup), and the layout should be more fat-thumb friendly on the aria's small screen...

Swyped from my HTC Evo with Eternal Prophecy 5.5 ROM.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECEXCURSION:
Well this is annoying. There are only 3 hours left for the free FlexT9 program... and I can't seem to download amazon appstore. Every time I click on the download link sent to my phone it says download unsuccessful. Reading further on the amazon website it states that:

Do you think having liberated 2.2.2 is preventing me from downloading the amazon appstore? (I'm on AT&T aswell, which could also be an issue). Perhaps it is because I am trying to download via 3G?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECEXCURSION:
Never mind, I figured it out! I had to be on wifi to downoad the amazon appstore. I guess AT&T blocks it when using 3G (this should be illegal, AT&T is so lame). After that was sorted out you just have to add your billing info with the app store and it lets you download it. Yay...
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
You shouldn't have any problem installing the Amazon Appstore on wifi or on 3G. I don't know what problem you were having but it isn't AT&T blocking it.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECEXCURSION:
I don't know, I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you there. Although I don't have any definitive proof, all evidence leads me to believe that AT&T is what is causing the problem.

I do think it was AT&T blocking the application (amazon appstore) from downloading. Traffic shaping rules in the U.S. do currently allow wireless carriers to block specific protocols and data from being transferred over their networks. For example, bit-torrent traffic and specific text messages can be blocked on the premise that it is for the common good. The text message blocking part is particularly nasty in my eyes, but it is allowed because there is the potential that carriers can block unwanted spam texts from propagating through their networks.

I recall similar things being discussed 6 months ago for otherr applications. The applications in question would not download if you were on the AT&T network and trying to download via 3G. I had to switch over to wifi in order for the download to complete successfully. And yes, 3G was working perfectly fine, I downloaded some other applications via marketplace just to make sure.

Amazon even wrote in their FAQ that you cannot download amazon appstore if you're on the AT&T network, so I think that pretty clearly means that my assumptions were correct. You may say that their comment was directed at non-rooted phones but that too is not true. Their FAQ lists being rooted as one of the prerequisites for installing amazon appstore.

Unless, drumist, you think the application just doesn't like to download via 3G for anyone..?

This post sounded harsher than I ment for it to. I'm not really sure why it turned out that way. :(
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungmung:
I can guarantee that it isn't at&t blocking it because I have amazon app store on my phone the only reason they say that is it installs as a non market app so your average user won't get it to install on an at&t phone.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
I have downloaded the Amazon Appstore apk through the web browser on my Aria over 3G and it worked fine. I just now tried it again and it still works. AT&T might block certain types of traffic, but they don't do anything to prevent you from downloading the Amazon Appstore apk. (They do however prevent you from installing the apk once it's on your phone because they removed the ability to install applications from "unknown sources", but this restriction is removed in all of the custom ROMs on this site.)

That said, I have had problems downloading files through the web browser before -- it's quite random though. I believe this is actually a Google bug, not an AT&T bug, but I'm not sure.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECEXCURSION:
Fair enough. Thanks for the info. :-)

Now that you mention it, this was one of the few times I've ever downloaded an apk through the browser so perhaps you are right.

On another note, this is by far the best keyboard I have ever used. It combines the best of everything. For those of you who have yet to try it, it's like swipe + T9 word + a much more accurate keyboard. I'm still learning the new features but I'm really impressed so far. And there is zero learning time.

Again, I want to thank you drumist for showing me this app!
