[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
1- then you agree with me. because thats what i said for people who bought it in Dec, then yeah. awesome. but for someone who is today, going to shop for a phone. i am sorry but the nexus S is not as a great value as say,, atrix or optimus 2x ( unless i want google updates or want a super amoled screen.. you know.. reasons to own a nexus S phone ". as a consumer, i dont give a crap if the phone is a developers phone or not. the end results is what matters to me.

PLUS i also agreed on the part that if he bought the phone for google updates, then thats a valid reason and he made the right choice " if it was honestly his intention like me who got sick of galaxy S lame updates by samsung.

2- the battery excuse was proven wrong with both optimus 2x released in korea where people report that the phone last more than 1 day with heavy usage . and the atrix even has a 1900 mah battery. that will pobably last longer. so please dont use that excuse.

and i know i am buying a phone. but if my phone can do pc stuff as well. then hell yeah. after all, you bought your phone for multi media. music. gps , movies, games etc. these are all PC stuff. otherwise you would have stayed on a cheap nokia phone that do nothing but calls. to me you seems you are trying to justify your purchase saying nexus S is a phone when atrix/optimus 2x are not a phone but PCs. when they both are doing the same functions exactly. but the atrix optimus 2x doing it better.

dont justify your reason for a phone. you pick whatever you want. its a personal taste, you might have bought the nexus S because you like the hardware design. its your money. you do whatever you want. when i asked i wanted a honest answer as maybe. just MAYBE he made the wrong choice. after all, we all come here for discussion and feedback/complaints/help if needed. thats what makes us a great community. " aside from troll posts ofcourse "

3- i also agree with you on this. thats what i just above. personal taste.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
LOL.

I actually agree with you that it's an odd time to be buying a Nexus S for most folks, but your final sentence there doesn't sit quite right.

You seem to be saying that the "magic" timeframe to justify buying a phone when better/faster/slicker devices are just around the corner is 3 months? I don't want to be buying a new phone every three months, though I've sort of fallen into that trap over the last year (Nexus One, Galaxy S i9000, iPhone 4, Nexus S all bought and kept in less than a year, with several others given a test drive).

Those of us who bought the Nexus S in December were heavily criticized even back then for buying what many called "outdated" technology with dual core phones coming out in a few months.

My experience with Android phones has been that there is ALWAYS a better phone coming out in a month or two. Pick what meets your needs today and get it and don't worry about justifying the purchase to some stranger in a forum...you'll go nuts otherwise.
[Nexus S General] lorijuan1024:
well i am in love with the way the nexus s looks and i'd rather wait for the galaxy s 2 which the guy told me 4th quarter but if it comes out earlier these bad boys go on ebay for like $500-650 so i will just sell and buy the phone off contract
[Nexus S General] lfmmoura:
I was one of those who decided to buy a Nexus S now. In my case, a friend of mine was traveling to the US and coming back this week. I had an option of getting an Atrix or a Nexus S.

The reasons I went for the Nexus S are:

1) Motorola not only locked the baseband, but this time they signed the files. This makes the Atrix almost iPhone-like. If I wanted a closed system, I'd have stuck with the iPhone some time ago, and not switched to Android.

2) I owned a Galaxy S, which I gave to my wife (who had a Milestone) and I'm in love with Super AMOLED screens. It has raised the bar really high for me, and I wouldn't settle for any screen. Many Atrix users have reported that the Atrix screen, despite the resolution, is not that great.

3) Atrix ships with Android 2.2, and who knows when they'll have 2.3 (considering this is Motorola we're talking about.) And with Android 2.2, the Atrix seemed sluggish (on the interface) in every video I've seen so far.

4) Considering that phones are much more expensive here in Brazil, I was able to sell my wife's Milestone for just as much as I paid for the Nexus. And I even managed to give my friend (who bought it) a sweet deal. That's how expensive these things are around here. So I didn't really spend any money on the upgrade.

I don't know when my friend will be in the US again, so it was kind of a "now or never" sort of thing.

I guess I'll just wait for Google to release the next Nexus, or go for the Galaxy S2 in a few months. Right now, I'm really happy with my choice. The Nexus S feels like someone took the Galaxy S (which was already a phone I really loved) and made it even better. :)

Just my two cents...
[Nexus S General] TareX:
I can afford both phones, but am leaning towards the Nexus S for the following reasons:

1) SAMOLED colors and contrasts

2) Usable front camera for video calls

3) Will get Ice Cream (GPU acceleration and Gtalk video chat) in June, unlike the encrypted Atrix (next December, maybe?)

4) Most good apps will run on it just fine, while Atrix only has a couple of good Tegra 2 games and many apps that won't run on it till devs have a reason to update them by the end of the year (like all the video call apps, for instance).
[Nexus S General] Androyed:
Congrats on your phone!

Ignore the people who think you bought it late. I'm still waiting for it to be released in my country (should be any day now). It will be my first smartphone. My previous 2 phones (yeah I only had two) were Sony Ericsson Walkman phones, which are the best "dumb" phones there are in my opinion, but I have kept an eye on Android since it has been introduced. I have been patiently waiting untill the OS would be more grown-up, and I think the time has come.

I'm not the kind of guy that buys another phone within a year. If I buy a phone, I plan to use it for at least 2 years. Because of that, I want a phone that I think I can use for more than 2 years. It has to be special to me.

But, this doesn't mean I want the latest hardware. I am more than happy with what the Nexus S can do, and for now I don't see any reason to have a dual-core device. There just aren't features that I may use that need it, and the Nexus S is fast enough. Of course, since dual-core phones aren't more expensive than the Nexus S, I could just buy a dual-core phone, but the Nexus S seems more complete to me. And this is a thing I can't really describe....

I just think the Nexus S is unique. Unique enough to last more than 2 years, and still have people saying "nice phone".
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
There isn't another phone or tablet on the market now or coming in the near future that can push out 4.4k on quadrant without breaking a sweat. Dual cores won't be worth it until they have ice cream and can make use of both cores until then the only reason to own one is to make you feel like your gadget **** is bigger.

Furthermore why buy an atrix now when the HTC pyramid is coming soon? Dual 1.2 ghz snap dragon cores? Hell yes. Oh wait by the time that comes Tegra 3 phones will be coming out. So why buy a dual core when quad core phones are coming?!. .................

I heard if you uninstall and reboot the phone it unroots it or no??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever

S-ON tool. Flash BEFORE you run the RUU.

http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/

Download the 3.70 RUU

And they will say use google, cuz it will turn up the answers.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
That only happens if you use that z4root thing, which gives you a temporary root, and lost upon rebooting.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big790:
O ok but the Z4root doesn't work on the evo right???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
The z4root does, many users have used it here on XDA.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big790:
O ok thanks a lot for the help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big790:
Hey I used the Z4root on the evo but it doesn't work
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
If it didn't work, I personally can't advise you because I've never used it. I think it more beneficial to go for the solid root. Unrooting for whatever reason is easy to do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big790:
OK if I root my phone with with unrEVOked and Its update come out will I have to unroot my phone or can i just update it like regular and it will just unroot the phone??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
If you root your phone with unrevoked, you'll be fine. You don't have to re-run it when a new version of unrevoked comes out. If there is an update for your rom, you just flash it in recovery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fish tank:
I just installed my first ROM, serendipity, and after it was done I went to the market and downloaded Titanium Backup again. I went to the restore section and chose in batch ""restore missing apps with data" and it then ran the batch operation. But then the app that it is restoring pops up and has the options install or cancel. I installed the first one and it did it again for the second app. Do I have to manually install each app? What am I doing wrong?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
pay for the full version....it will make life a lot simpler. with the full version, you dont have to confirm each restore
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fish tank:
Seriously... thats only in the free version. Having to manually install 100+ apps? plus its like 6 bucks for the paid.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
100+ Apps? Hell yeah the $6 is worth it!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
Buy it. If you flash half as much as most people around here, it's a life saver.

Hi guys.

First of all let give congratulations to all members of this site and developers for the stuff that bring to us, noobie users all day.

I have two problems with my HTC HD2 and let me try to explain. Sorry my English, im Portuguese. hehe

My story and HTC HD2 starts with one usb charging in my computer and after that the usb for charge and sync never works again. So, my battery went out and i need to buy one in ebay to try flash with original rom leo.

When i start flashing leo with one original rom, it give me an error during update and when i start after that show me a message with a attention signal say "Software update failed! Please try again.".

I try to flash again and the image stucks in "LOADING..."

My bootloader in starts are show in this picture :

I hope you can help me, i dont know what to do anymore.

I promise a lot of beer in Portugal.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I can not promise I will be able to help you out here. But for people to better help you it would be nice if you could post what exact ROM you are trying to flash from SD. Also what radio version the Rom has with it. Also you did rename your RUU_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh right? Also please post what model of HD2 do you have, European, T-Mobile, etc.?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you flashed the wrong stock rom from sd card, it removed hspl and now the stock spl wont allow the rom flash to continue, hence RUU in th upper corner telling you it is in rom update mode.

bootloader - usb - hspl4 - 2.08.hspl - flash a rom.

OR

get a correct stock rom for your phone&region&carrier(your serial number) and flash it over usb, no need for hspl to do this.
[HD2 General] TiagoS:
Many thanks in advance for your replys.

The problem is that my hd2 dont connect usb.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
ah ok, then get the correct stock rom for your phone, and flash it as leoimg.nbh.

it MUST be the correct stock rom for that phone, not just any stock rom, since any other stock would require hspl, which you cant have.

or, you could make a goldcard. If you have a faulty usb port, (is that the problem?) then a goldcard would be very useful since you cannot use HSPL.
[HD2 General] TiagoS:
Can you point me for the correct topic of goldcard ?

I dont know if is a faulty usb port because i think this happens because change the a lots of roms and android roms.

I already download the correct rom from htc with my serial. I extract with winzip and put in my class 4 8gb sd and stucks again in loading...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
oh right, well 8gb cards rarely work anyway, for a start. certainly wouldnt work for a godlcard.

its not clear from your post, what kind of error do you get when you try to flash , example, hspl.exe through usb?
[HD2 General] TiagoS:
I have one sdcard 2gb, without any class to. With this i have the same problem.

I dont have any error, the loading stucks...

Trough usb i cant because my phone wont sync with pc at all.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
it doesnt need to sync.

when you plug the usb cable in, on bootloader, does 'serial' change to 'usb'?

if yes, run hspl4.exe on the PC.
[HD2 General] TiagoS:
No, it doesnt change from serial to usb.

(many thanks for try helping me samsamuel)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
ahh ok, i think my first stop would be try another PC, and maybe usb cable too, see if it detects a usb connection, if not, then its prob the usb socket itself.
[HD2 General] TiagoS:
I already try that sam. I think problem is with usb port for flashing to much roms, because the usb port stops working when i try charging in a pc. After that doesnt work anymore.

I already try to see the goldcard but i dont understand much well the method.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
well if you can find a working winmo mobile to borrow for 5 minutes, or are lucky enough to have a pci based sd card erader available, you can find the unique ID for an sd card, send it to me with an email address, and ill create you a file which you write (in a special way) to the sd card, and it magically allows you to flash any stock rom using leoimg.nbh.

Like a factory back door, if you will.

(Not sure if it works for custom roms, i dont think so)

[HD2 General] TiagoS:
I will borrow my girlfriend's father htc with winmo and i will get the id of one sdcard.

Do you want the RUU_Signed from original htc rom downloaded with my serial yesterday or is not necessary ?

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no all i need is the ID and an email address. what you flash is up to you.

Im try to send it today or tomorrow by PM to you with my email. Is ok to you SAM ?

Hi all

i have the same problem with my LEO.

i tried flashing android but failed :(

now i only want to get back to wmo 6.5 but SD-flash doesnt work. Also by USB is impossible because the leo isnt recognized by 3 pcs with 2 different cables.

Thanks for your help

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
are you putting teh phone into bootloader? (coloured stripey screen) cos thats where you should usb flash from, when winmo isnt installed. (Well, actually its ALWAYS best to flash from bootloader, ..)
[HD2 General] killboy:
Its even not recognized in Booloader first there is neither USB nor Serial written but if i disconnect the cable then it changes to Serial and if i plug it in again nothing changes

I also tried to plug the usb-cable to a linux-machine to see if its recognized there - nothing

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Optimus-Prime:
tonight i flashed a WP7 rom downloaded apps and what not. the battery meter seemed to be on par with what BatteryTools was saying.

Now her is what i noticed. When the phone was plugged in to the the wall the indicator light would flash green and orange, but whne its plugged into usb it stays lit up orange.

I was wondering is it receiving to much voltage? the phone can handle the power input, but how about the OS it self. i mean like the way it registers the voltage it is receiving?

jsut my input to see if we can get this fixed.

Btw a full batter would register anywhere from 4200 to 4500 in battery tools under battery voltage.

i am also going to try a brand new battery directly from HTC when it gets here, to see how that does.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
Voltage? USB has a 5v regulated supply as does a USB adaptor except its unregulated so plus or minus ~10%

all phones that use a USB connection have a 5V supply, and i think it very unlikely that MS would make a OS that cant handle the power, im not even to sure what you mean by that since its all done with hardware, the driver only dictates how full the battery is and at what point to cut off the charge, which as i have pointed out many many times, the driver ISNT for our device so there will be some odd happenings.

as for the current that doesnt make any difference, just alters how long it will charge i think what your seeing could be a faulty powersupply its also not beyond the reason of doubt that your power supply is dirty in to your home, meaning the voltage from the adaptor is also dirty which may fluctuate the output voltage

kX10 AOSP

Disclaimer: Please be aware that any time you flash a custom ROM, you are modifying system files that are required for your phone to operate correctly. Use this (and any other) ROM at your own risk. I am not responsible for bricking your phone, voiding your warranty, etc. Thanks.

Introduction

This is a AOSP / SE hybrid ROMbased on kX10 R3_0x1 (Optimized 2.1.A.0.435 Global Generic). The idea is to strip as much SE out, and put as much AOSP in, as possible.

Since this is based on stock SE firmware, everything should work (Camera, data, WiFi, etc...), with the exception of a few places where Mediascape was embedded (working on it!). Please report bugs.

Credits

zdzihu for JIT v2 and xRecovery;

Bin4ry for root;

28spawn for camera mod; and

xeviro for Service Menu and Gallery launcher

Modifications

kX10 ROM (Rooted with xRecovery, JIT v2, SuperUser, and busybox installed)

AOSP boot animation

AOSP / Google apks: Alarm Clock, Calculator, Calender, Desk Clock, Custom Locale, Dev Tools, Email, Gallery, Music, Spare Parts

Hybrid* apks: Browser, Phone, Messaging, Settings

3rd Party apks: ExUninstall, OI File Manager, Sysctl Config, Titanium Backup

* "Hybrid" means apks that have been recompiled with SE and AOSP source.

Installation

Download ROM and place on your SD card

Boot into xRecovery

Flash kX10_AOSP_001.zip with xRecovery by using "Install custom zip"

IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY ON .54 or .55 baseband: Flash this with Flash Tool.

Reboot and be patient. First boot can take several minutes at the boot animation. This is normal.

If you want to launch ReadyToRun (the automatic APN thing), launch the browser at first boot and wait for the provider screen to appear.

Future Plans

Port AOSP Dialer, Contacts, and MMS apps

Finish porting AOSP-style lock screen

New battery icons
