[Nexus One General] djsaad1:
Looking to upgrade from nexus one to either atrix or galaxy sII. They both have good hardware and it would be nice to have the bigger screen of the galaxy but it doesn't really matter to me.

I don't really trust Samsung with software upgrades and I have never had a Motorola before. I think what my decision is going to come to is which one will have the most custom rom development.

Anyone have any guesses on which one you believe will have more custom rom options?
[Nexus One General] evilkorn:
Neither. Motorola still has the encrypted bootloader and Samsung just lies about releasing updates.
[Nexus One General] djsaad1:
I haven't been paying much attention to it, but I thought they already figured out a way to root the atrix
[Nexus One General] evilkorn:
That has nothing to do with the bootloader.
[Nexus One General] mrbkkt1:
I would choose the atrix,only cause of the massive battery.
[Nexus One General] zombierockstar:
+1
[Nexus One General] Galloway:
Problem is that you can be rooted but if the bootloader is encrypted like many Motorola's you cannot install a custom recovery to flash custom ROM's, you just have SU access being rooted.
[Nexus One General] donmoosavi:
I would take a nook color modded to have honeycomb over both
[Nexus One General] DumbUglyDragon:
Right, because that is a phone. :confused:
[Nexus One General] OrganizedFellow:
That's NOT the question of this topic, "Which do you beleive will have better roms?".

I agree with with donmoosavi. I too would take the Nook Color over anything Motorola or Samsung.
[Nexus One General] dronarg:
Samsung and motorola are trying to prevent installation of alternative roms. So I will avoid these.

LG maybe.
[Nexus One General] DumbUglyDragon:
Seems to me the OP is asking the question in reference to phones, since he is looking to upgrade his Nexus One to an Matrix/GS2
[Nexus One General] djsaad1:
looks like the bootloader is encrypted on the atrix, that is now off the list.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Actually the bootloader isn't encrypted, but it does perform a signature verification on the files... so the end result is the same. No custom roms as it sits right now.
[Nexus One General] OrganizedFellow:
Bummer.

I thought that by now, Motorola would have embraced the community.
[Nexus One General] xemino:
this. and htc puts stupid sense on the phones, only sense-less makes sense for me...

thus i wait for the nexus 2, the nexus s isn't appealing at all for me.

the atrix is sweet but no stock android, encrypted bootloader, firefox on the webtop.

there's currently just no phone that is a worthy replacement imo.
[Nexus One General] dc211:
This is my thought as well. I won't get another android phone without community support. After watching Vibrant & Droid X development and their troubles I've ruled out both these manufactures regardless of specs.

I expect LG to be the most open of the upcoming android dual core models. It's just a guess though.
[Nexus One General] Digital1325:
Most definitely NOT the Atrix. XDA should let that phone die... Hit them where it actually hurts with phone sales, rather than buying it in hopes to it being cracked one day.

The SGS II looks like the way to go between those two. Unless you feel like waiting to see what HTC ends up releasing.

As for LG, I have no idea. Never owned an LG phone before... The Optimus' bezel sticks out too much along the touch screen, so that'll probably be a deal breaker for me. We'll see when it actually comes out. Till then, it's a waiting game for me.
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
The Xoom has the same oem unlock/lock features of the Nexus S but unfortunately I think that's simply because it's a pure Google experience rather than a change in Motorolas views.
[Nexus One General] [hfm]:
I

It's too bad that the number if people using cooked roms are a margin of error if the phone is successful for the normal consumer. The network perception will do 20x more to hurt sales than the locked bootloader ever will.

That being said, I'd wait for HTC to announce thier next gen (pyramid et al.)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Aren't you supposed to be running the commands:

su
cd /data/local
chmod 777 gfree
./gfree -f
sync

In terminal emulator on your phone? from what I remember this is the way I did it. Could be mistaken by the wording though... I just remember using ADB to push all the files then just running terminal emulator on my phone instead of running a shell. Worth a try if you can't get ADB shell to work properly.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
From the look of this you still have a $ sign this means you dont have root permission, it should be a # sign after typing su in adb shell . Looks like your temp root didn't work or your not allowing root user permission on your phone right after typing su in adb shell.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
The guide you are trying to use specifically says "So we're assuming you've permarooted already and usb debugging is on" but from the thread title, it sounds like you are trying to get permanent root. The guide does not work if you don't already have root.

You should probably use the guide in the Wiki linked to earlier.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
The problem is the very first command you type into the command prompt on your phone, i.e. "su", is giving you "permission denied". So as others have said, you are not getting root permissions. If you have rooted previously then the "Superuser" app pops up and asks for permissions the first time you try "su", check it's not coming up with a box on your phone which you're failing to see (then it times out after a few seconds and says "permission denied").
[G2 and Desire Z General] Febby:
NVM! i was able to sucessfully disable HSPA I guess (: after changing the following in the build prop

"Find ro.ril.hsxpa and set to ro.ril.hsxpa=0"

edit: just saw I posted in the wrong area of the G2 sections... please move if a mod reads!
[G2 and Desire Z General] LGS1231:
Why don't you use go to Settings --> Wireless & Networks --> Mobile Network, and chec Use 2G Only.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Febby:
because 2G only speeds aren't as fast just plain 3G speeds... might sound weird but my connection seems to be more stable without HSPA as i live close to Indianapolis perhaps it jumps a lot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] b14ckd34th:
I have an HD2(of course)...i have tried many many roms but am stuck with the same issue..I have random freezing issues..i have tried different radios, different classes of sd cards..tried adjusting the vm heap. but to no avail..i am currently using frankenstine rom it seems to be the smoothest but i still have freezing issues..when this occurs i can only pull the battery to reset it and sometimes when i do this i must pull battery 3-5 times to get it past the magloader screen.

i have asked this question in many of the rom threads that i have used but have never gotten a clear and definite fix..can someone enlighten me on how to cure this issue it is really becoming quite frustrating.. thanks in advance to anyone..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
When do you have these freezing issues?

When you're watching a web video? Playing a game and listening to music at the same time?

If so, it's cuz you've run out of ram, so your phone will lagg to death. So get a task manager to close those apps.

If not Iunno what your problem is.

Note: Try not to pull out your battery, instead use the soft reset button. If you keep pulling out your battery, you'll mess up the pins.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] h.nocturna:
Have you tried a task29 prior to flashing?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] b14ckd34th:
it doesnt seem to be specific on when it freezes..but usually when only using 1 program at a time..i do use task manager.i recently installed words with friends and almost every time i try to open it, it will freeze.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] b14ckd34th:
yes the last time i flashed i used task29..someone once told me it was my radio..which ive tried to downgrade to an earlier version but that didnt help either..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
I think it's ram. Reason being, if it is from opening an app, it may be the app is using too much memory for it to handle, eg. mega jump is one

Never tried words before though, but it doesn't sound like something that uses a lot of memory but Iunno.

Do you use desire hd or z builds? Those leave very little ram left.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] b14ckd34th:
my current rom is a desire build..what build would leave more ram?

i am going to try yet again to reflash this phone and task29 it..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Any non sense build will give you 210+ ram free.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Robson:
what radio are you using? had some freeze moments when i first started fiddling with android. upgraded my radio to 2.15 and never had a freeze ever since.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] b14ckd34th:
yea i got this radio also...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] b14ckd34th:
ok i rewiped, reflashed, task29'd it last night and thought everything was a-ok until a few minutes ago when yet again it froze. i cant wait till tmobile comes out with an htc phone with the same screen size as the hd2 but native android cuz ill be all over it..this crap gets old quick..i cant believe i am the only one with this unfixable issue.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
did you also fully refresh you sd card? not much point task29'ing, reinstalling android and starting over if your sd card is still full of cache/droid system folders/EXT/Dalvik and what not.

that being said, if you have had the phone since way back last year, a good proportion of the early ones had freezing problems, regardless of rom.radio, and a quick warranty swap was usually the answer.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] b14ckd34th:
i did use the recommended panasonic formatter..and also the cmw format,dalvik and cache wipe...

your other comment kinda makes sense..i have had this since i think February of last year.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] b14ckd34th:
so after speaking with tmobile, and actually reflashing windows 6.5 and having it freeze on me twice and today it got stuck in a reboot loop, I am getting a new HD2..i sure hope this one does not freeze as much as my current model..if tmobile would come out with an android phone with this big of a screen i would switch.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerZone1223:
Hey, guys. I've tried everything to get my phone to mount to my Mac and it just won't happen. Here's what I've got so far:

1. I have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 on an iMac 27", 2.66 GHz i5, 4GB RAM. I'm running stock DI18, but I do have it rooted from oneclickroot method that I did on my roommate's PC.

2. I've tried multiple USB cables plugged directly into the back of my iMac. Even the USB cable that came with the phone. Phone was never recognized by my iMac.

3. Tried Debug mode, keeping the screen on checked, tried mounting... not recognized.

4. Tried re-formatting my SD card, debug mode, tried mounting.... Still nothing.

5. I can unmount the SD card, put it in an adapter, plug it into my iMac, and it will THEN recognize the SD card. But not when it's mounted in my phone.

What else can I try? NOTHING is working here. Is there something I can work with in OSX or some command I can run in Terminal? Any suggestions? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerZone1223:
I'm on the phone with Sprint's Advanced Technical Support and they're baffled.

It works when I hook it up to my roommate's computer with Vista 32-bit. It recognizes the phone on my Mac when I plug it in to mount. However, you never see the phone in Finder.

Is there any command I can run in Terminal to see if it's mounted?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Try restarting your comp or logging in/out.

Sometimes it doesn't show up for me in finder either, but will after I restart it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerZone1223:

[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
I can't seem to get clockworkmod working so I was hoping to just do this via a simple update.zip in recovery mode on my rooted stock Epic.

Will there be one that's pre-rooted posted in the next few days that will allow a flash (I haven't removed any stock apps...)? If Odin relies on CWM somehow (I'm new to much of this) I could be really left out in the cold or troubleshooting for a long time.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
You can bet your ass there will be pre-rooted cwm flashable roms in the very near future.

Also, Odin flashes your phone from the computer. CWM flashes your phone from your phone. One is not required for the other.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
That's good to know, since I despair of ever getting CWM on there...

[Nook Color General] norazi:
AFAIK, no current custom rom is "daily driver"

that would just be the stock 2.1 rooted with 3rd party launcher
[Nook Color General] ChrisJ951:
Froyo 0.6.8 has pandora/youtube working. All apps I've tested other than slacker radio seem to work on it (slacker radio also only works in older versions of stock, it doesnt work in 1.1.0).

Id suggest Froyo 0.6.8 as it has flash, or 1.0.1 rooted if you don't care about flash and like the BN stuff.
[Nook Color General] HIcycles:
It depends on what you need.

Here's what I've found from running Honeycomb v4 via emmc:

- Somewhat sluggish

- Market works, but is finicky when downloading apps; sometimes it does, most times it won't

- Bible app won't work; it's a must for me.

- Video works to a varying degree. I think youtube works fine.

- usb driver doesn't seem to work well. I have to adb via wireless.

- something was going on with su; you had to manually push another version (may have been corrected).

CM7

- Snappier than honeycomb.

- No video, unless done via flash.

- I haven't tried adb, yet.

- I think youtube was working on stock cm7.

Anyhoo. Like they said above, no real daily driver if you're looking for full functionality.

you arent supposed to rename the rom file to update.zip

when you flash clockwork recovery manager it puts an update.zip on your /sdcard for you. you have to select reinstall packages let it reboot back to recovery then select reinstall packages again.

It's because that wallpaper has a gradient which is made up of more colors than the 65k the EVO screen can handle..

I've compared some of my wallpapers on my EVO to one of my friend's PalmPre and another friend's Epic 4G and I was blown away.
