lmao, You STILL dont get it, the whole purpose of that phrase is that the question has no relevance, so when you are saying to somebody that what THEY are saying has no relevance to current topic/question/debate etc you would say "but what has that got to do with the price of fish?"

How on earth that goes over your head is beyond me, Its a very well known saying or it has many variations of, and even if you didnt know it its easy to realise the hidden meaning when somebody says it to you.

Dude ffs again what has that got to do with anything here? (ie whats it got to do with the price of fish), Who said these roms are not going to be available?

Ofcourse they are part of the service, same as linux is when somebody does some work on it for you , installing/setting up etc. Sorry but I DONT agree with you as it solely depends on the end user's prior experience and aptitude for the subject. For example I could probably learn linux if I had enough time or even could be bothered but I dont and im glad their are services out there.

You could say that about ANY service, not just one that you "think" is wrong.

So?

Its everybody's "right" to be lazy" if THEY want to, and if they want to pay somebody to do something they cant or wont learn themselves, like car repair, decorating, cooking, cleaning, TV repair, and yes phone repair, upgrade, etc etc then that is their right!

Ok whatever, What I said still stands though.

Obviously not!

hmm, You say that, but at same time seem to not see/understand that somebody selling a manual for rom flashing and somebody selling a manual for linux is not teh same, or that somebody providing a linux installation/setup service is not same as a flashing service?

lmao, I just laughed so hard a little bit of piss came out :D

So is your spelling.

It doesn't make it wrong either!

Yes it would but I cant be bothered so I pay somebody else, quick easy and done correct first time, saves me hassle and can concentrate on other stuff.

Yes their IS, and you can say the same about flashing a ROM, You can either use google, come here and put all the bits together yourself or some will choose to purchase a ready made manual form a seller like this.

Good for you, but some people will not be as mechanically minded or even want to go digging around in their car so they hire somebody to do it for them, same as a rom flashing service. You get so many people bricking tehir phones even after reading here, so sometimes people just want it done correctly first time so they can get playing with their new OS.

Go cry somewhere else please.

Not everybody is the same, Just because we fiddle about with gadgets and love doing so, for some people they just want the end result and do not want to get into that side of stuff, You really need to accept that not everybody can/will do this sort of stuff.

Dude, its a bloody saying. I wasn't accusing you of been a crack head. It was supposed to signify by astonishment of what you said!

Then I cant be bothered with you.

The "huh" had nothing to do with your typo it was to do with you talking crap.

DUDE I think you need to do primary school again.. XD (only j/k)

so:

500 x 25$ = 12'500$

yes, you read that right (twelve thousands and five hundreds dollars).

but this happens everyday in the world.. the right idea at the right moment..
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Ok this is meant for TheATHEiST. I do uderstand and comprehend your points, but I am one of those kind of people that would like to see advancement in or society and the human race. I just don't view this subject in particular as doing this. We can both agree to disagree though because both of us going back and forth at one another is not really going to change anything or acomplish much besides feeding our personal egos. So I say peace to you my friend.

Now as for the subject of this thread. It is good someone took the time to gather all the required information to flash WP7. But my question is why did they not post such a guide here on XDA so it can help everyone instead of being selfish and charging money for it. I mean after all we all know they more than likely gather all the information for free here anyway. To me this is a prime example of how money and greed is ruinning our world.

These opinions are mind and mine alone and I force them apon no one.
[HD2 General] lhernana2j:
I am jealous as hell. Over $12,500 bucks. Too damn funny.
[HD2 General] novaci:
I say hats off to the guy. I would've done the same if only the thought had popped into my mind.

However unethical it might be, you can't really argue with making $12k for next to no effort. The people who bought the manuals off him kinda deserve to get jacked since it isn't exactly hard to find free guides how to flash ROMs. Hell, all you need to do is google HD2 + Windows Phone 7 and you'd be golden.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Yeah, if I had known that I would've made $12000, I would have done it. Yeah, it's not exactly moral, but for that much money, morality would take a back seat at this point for me... I've been unemployed for too long and struggle every month trying to pay my bills. I would've given a good chunk to the devs for sure, though.
[HD2 General] carepack:
unbelievable
[Captivate General] Dnorwood:
Okay I am staring this thread because there are mixed answers in the official update thread and this might give one spot for noobs like me that are not flash addicts a place to find the quick answer.

Here is my setup:I am rooted, running a bone stock JH7 rom, ROM Manager installed, Circle Battery Mod installed, other than that no custom kernels, modems, radios, etc. I do have a couple programs that require root access like ROM Manager, AdFree, and ClockSync. Already installed kies mini and have it all set up per the instructions on samsung's website. Just waiting for the update to go live.

Here are my questions:

1) Do I need to unroot?

2) Do I or should I uninstall any apps that require root access or change the recovery image (ROM Manager/Clockwork Recovery)

3) Should I remove both my external SD and my SIM prior to flashing?

4) What data will I lose and how do I back it up? (I have read that SD cards are left alone just system data like call logs, sms, contacts, email setup, saved passwords are lost) I have Lookout installed so I know my contacts are backed up.

5) Could someone way smarter than me ;) please do a quick write up that is more detailed on the steps needed to complete this update AND keep all your data? I don't mind reinstalling apps (just hope I don't lose all of my angry birds progress :D)

All of these questions are not address in any of the "official" information other than "you should back up any data you don't want to lose" but gives no steps on how to do it.
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
Same question here, I'm rooted with TiBU and voodoo lagfix and that's it., well besides deleting all bloatware. Still on eclair jh7. Wish I had done lagfix months ago, but I don't have a computer.

Hey guys, what's this button d....
[Captivate General] lyrad12:
same here, anyone guys help us out?ill add mine, I also installed OCLF by ryanz, do I need to undo the lagfix? or better to restore factory reset the phone before the update tom? ty, nooobs here >.<
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
If you have a modded phone the smart thing would be to wait at least a few days before installing the update in case the rollout doesn't go as planned. These are the kind of things AT$T has probably been dreading as far as Froyo is concerned because I'm sure that come tomorrow their customer service lines are gonna be blazing like a CA wildfire due to issues with not completely stock phones and thousands of different configurations causing update glitches. I wouldn't be in such a hurry to update until I see how it goes for the "gotta have it now" sheep taking the first plunge.:D
[Captivate General] MastaBetta:
Remember OCLF is bad, Mmmkay? Better lagfixes such as Voodoo and ULF
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
All lag fix should be removed. Otherwise, you will very likely end up with a bricked phone.

You can install Kies Mini now and connect your phone. If your phone is recognized without problem, you're good to go. Kies Mini is your only way to update the firmware.
[Captivate General] sircaper:
I can't answer most of your questions, but I will recommend getting Titanium Backup. You can at least backup your app data since you're so concerned about your Angry Birds score. I think you can probably restore that after flash.
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
I lost my angry bird scores when my phone did a soft brick lol. I'm just saying. I had it backed up with tbu. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted :)
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Did you copy the TiBU folder to your PC after doing a batch backup of your apps? That's the only way to reliably save a backup.
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
No. lol. I was going to, then my phone just stopped working in the middle of the day. But ima deff do that when I get home b4 froyo.
[Captivate General] sold1erjjt:
Not to be a negative Nancy, I understand some want to stay as close as possible to stock, but I'd just wait for a custom ROM to be built that de-bloats, adds speed, better GPS, etc... Cog 4 has a really stock look, and works really well; check it out. And with time there will only be others that will improve on the great ROM's we already have! ;)
[Captivate General] rajendra82:
The other smart thing to do would be locate the TiBu backup folder on the external SD card. That way even a brick requiring reformatting the internal sdcard partition can be fully recovered from. Just take out the external card while restoring to stock, then root, get TiBu, point it to the reinserted external sd card, and boom, back in business.
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
Nice. Thanx for the info. Will do :)
[Captivate General] lyrad12:
hmm do you think it is better to do the factory data reset before I update to froyo?coz I installed the oclf ( too late >.< )and I dnt know how to disable it, I'm in stock, never tried to flash rom, but rooted, my internal memord is now is 98mb, sorry I'm noob
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
You should use OCLF app to remove the lag fix. Don't do factory reset or flash another ROM. You may brick your phone that way. That's why I don't use any lagfix.
[Captivate General] lyrad12:
oh ok ill give it a shot, thnx man!
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Yes You should be a bone stock when updating. No lagfixes, custom kernel, nothing.

All questions for the 2.2 update are in the main thread
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] axyrus:
SO I just flashed a new rom and wiped out the my sd card from my previous rom using task29. Now in CM7, it's showing the SD card as blank (which should be the case) However, under available info. etc, it's says unavailable and when I try to mount the SD card to use as a USB mass storage device, nothing happens. No windows drivers pop up nor does my phone show anything? Did I brick my SD card?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nobnut:
You used Task29 to format your SD card? Well done Sir.

Now try using Panasonic SD card formatter. You might find this a little bit more useful.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] axyrus:
I don't know whether to take this as sarcasm or a compliment :D It's hard to tell on the internet. I've downloaded this and will try it out.

Whats up everyone. I was just browsing the web and saw something about att giving some people back their unlimited data plan for $30 (google it). So I called att and told them I used to have the unlimited plan and when I tried to get it back they said they didnt have offer it anymore. So to make a long story short they said no I cant get it back no way.. keep in mind I was real nice the them. So I said thank you and hung up. Then I called back 15 min. Later got someone else told them my story..... Waited for review.... Then......... They got a supervisor and gave me back my unlimited data plan for $30 effective today!!! ;-) Hope this might help some of my fellow cappy users......
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
Forgot..you had to have had it before they took it away, from what I read.

Hey guys, what's this button d....
[Captivate General] phatninja13:
Got mine back a while ago.

I upgraded from an iPhone 3gs to the Captivate back in November using amazon wireless. The reason I went through amazon and not AT&T being that the phone was on sale for $20. The online upgrade makes you re-choose your plan. I did not have the option of unlimited data but went ahead anyway as I never passed the 2G a month anyway. The first month with the captivate I did. I called up AT&T and asked directly for a manager after talking with the CSR. I told him I had was grandfathered in but didn't have the option to keep the unlimited. I called min January. The manager called back about 2 hours later and told me after "reviewing" the situation he would give me unlimited data back. I now have my unlimted data. So yes, you can get it BACK. They will not however give it to you if you never had it.
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
That's what I was getting at....hopefully preventing randoms from just calling up wanting it after never having it then getting pissy they can't get it.lol

Hey guys, what's this button d....
[Captivate General] Gr8Danes:
When did you originally cancel your data plan?

Or should I say change it to the tiered plan?
[Captivate General] jokes1:
I had to switch my plan around 7-10. When I tried to get it back they said they didnt have it anymore. Just got unlimited back last night. Be nice and keep calling back. Get different people and maybe they will do it for u. The first lady said there was no way to get it back at all that I was too late, nut the second lady did it for me, ive also been a costomer for like 5 years. But u had to have unlimited before. So if u have had unlimited before then y not give it a try.....
[Captivate General] sixk:
what if you had the unlimited but it wasnt the smart phone unilimited plan???
[Captivate General] jokes1:
You had to have had the smart phone unlimited data for $30
[Captivate General] Mechpilot:
Or an iphone unlimited plan.

The Xoom's HDMI port doesn't support video out without the $129 dock according to cnets review.
[Xoom General] greenrocks:
No. Really? For real? Well, the inability to support hdmi output doesn't justify $800. =[

Not all of us who has extra bucks to get the speaker dock. What the...? How about the standard dock?
[Xoom General] ozzmosis316:
the cnet review reported that they tried it directly from the xoom and couldn't get it to work until they used the $129 dock, so I doubt the regular dock will work unless this is another feature that will be added later.
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
Taken from the Motorola Xoom Support site:

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

XOOM - HDMI

What is the HDMI port for?

You can snap photos and capture videos, then sit back and enjoy them on your home HDTV flat screen. Your tablet’s HDMI port lets you connect it to other HDMI devices.

Note: Xoom offers video playback in 1080p HD but the display is optimized for 720p. Output in 720p via HDMI

HDCP via HDMI

Does the XOOM support HDCP via HDMI?

HDCP allows you to share HD videos to televisions. The XOOM will not support this feature at launch. A future software upgrade will enable this device to support HDCP via HDMI.

HDMI Mirror mode

When using HDMI, the bottom 80 pixels of the display where the navigation keys and notification menu are displayed is not projected on the external display. This is done by design and is not a defect with either the device or the external display.

-----------------------------------
[Xoom General] ekoandrew:
YUP all TRUE!!

Had to get that Piece of Loaded Crap to get HDMI out...

But worth it all!! Love the ability to Google Video Chat with another XOOM, got one extra for me sis at New York (next day ship)!!
[Xoom General] ozzmosis316:
I really want to get the Xoom for all that its capable of, but every feature that makes it stand out seems to come with the statement..will launch at a later date.
[Epic 4G General] ishal:
Hey guys, I found a nasty little bug that has made my epic unusable. Basically if you have all your home screen pages filled up and decide to create a shortcut of an app (in this case it was dolphin browser) from inside the app, Touch Wiz will crash no matter how many time you reboot the phone. All other programs work just fine, however touchwiz will without fail crash. I am trying to find a way around this without reflashing but it looks like that is my only option. Be warned everyone EB13 is not ready for prime time.

Edit: Found a quick work around, just install launcher pro from the market and hit the home button and switch your launcher to launcher pro. Now can anyone tell me how to switch back?
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
So why not use something other than tw? Why would you load up that many icons on 7 pages? Home Switcher from market...

[Epic 4G General] ishal:
I didnt I had 3 full pages. Also turns out even turning off touchwiz and switching back to it ruins it. Also not the appropriate place for this but isn't possible to add more homescreens to launcher pro. But thankyou for the advice.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Yes you can add screens to launcherpro by hitting (from launcherpro) menu>preferences>homescreen settngs. To fix touchwiz, hit menu>settings>applications>all, scroll down to TWlauncher cick it, and clear everything.

Thank you XDA for helping me through what was pretty much me over reacting.
[Epic 4G General] dr_gibberish:
I would really urge you to play around with Launcher Pro for a while. Try the different settings and see what they all do. I can't imagine using Touchwiz now. I love the way launcherpro both looks and works.
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
Aug 31st... the first day I had my phone I moved to Launcher Pro and haven't looked back... not a single reason to use TW
[Epic 4G General] kelmar13:
Try hitting menu/settings/apps/manage apps/all.

Find twlauncher and clear data and cache. It will likely blow out anything you had on you screens but may allow you to use it again if that's what you are looking for.
[Epic 4G General] josidhe:
TW is for folk who want their phone to feel more iOSish, and if that's what they want, meh. More power to 'em.

I used LP for a long time, but am giving Go Launcher a whirl these days. I kinda like it even more, but...

Ugh, Launcherpro has THE BEST agenda widget on Android. No free widget I've tried even comes close. Really frustrating. :(
[Epic 4G General] sleebus.jones:
Amen to that, brotha! I love launcher pro. Really works well.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Got my phone in august 31, moved to launcherpro sept 4, havent looked back either, its great, especially with the scrollable dock and all the customizations you can do!!

Meh - LP is pretty good but I suspect most people don't use most of the options, making it kind-of big. I haven't found a better option though. It's pretty darn good.

I use LauncherPro, and I have long since deleted both TouchWiz an the stock launcher from the /system/apps/ folder. It frees up a bit of space.

I am using the paid version of LauncherPro and loving it. Very stable over TW.

[Epic 4G General] :
Yep, bug in touchwiz, has always been there to some degree.

If anything rubs TW the wrong way, you FC to death. I've had a similar instance occur (on eclair) that FC'd tw so bad you had to reflash. Even rebooting you couldn't get anything to load, just black screen with TW FC over and over again.

FWIW, touch wiz GTG is more stable and you can adjust the number of homescreens (not sure the limit though)
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Dread 7us:
Per request I present Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS 5 theme. Comes from that ROM here by myn. Includes themed bottom dock in landscape, custom lock screen and pull down notification bar to reflect the Evo Shift and has a fully working battery. Not everything is themed just yet. Looking into making the app drawer transparent too. The background seen in the screenshots can be downloaded here.

Here are some clock widgets for this theme made by Stoney 666: here thanks BrandoKC for pointing that out and for testing this theme.

Disclaimer:

I'm not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone.

Instructions:

Make a nandroid just in case. Use CWM 2.5 or 3.x to flash (uses edify scripting). Busybox must be installed to flash. Flash over a sense ROM or use my theme eraser. Flashing ROM then theme without booting first will result in boot loop. Flash ROM boot phone then flash theme.

[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2173701:
one thing you might do is use photoshop to clear out the green buttons in the res/drawable-land-hdpi-v4 folder. but top notch work myfriend.

another thing. the launcher icons. deffinately need to make the plus button grey-er, or shrink the size of it. makes it look a little off kilter. landscape is fine. however portrait is just a little funky
