I also have freeze on 2.2 with sense.. run smoothly on rom with no sense..
[Defy General] lanfearxt:
ok guys, i really need some help here. not sure what i did wrong, but been stuck at this point for hours. i followed the methods as below

1. Install RSD Lite and USB Driver Motorola

2. Root your Defy with SuperOneClick (guide can be found on previous spoiler)

3. Install System Recovery apk file. Open the app and click Install System Recovery ( place System Recovery apk file in your SD Card)

4. Extract the file Froyo_UK_3.4.2-117 and place the folder in sdcard/goapkrev/backup ( if you cannot find the folder, create one)

5. Click Recovery boot and it should enter clockwork mod recovery

6. Navigate to backup/restore. Do a Backup for your current stock rom (navigate using volume up/down and press Power Button to enter)

7. Wipe data and wipe dalvik cache (in Advanced Options) in the recovery mode

8. Restore Froyo_UK_3.4.2-117

9. Click reboot and right after that press and hold down volumn up button and you should be in boot mode

10. Plug in you Defy to computer and open RSD Lite. Open the file TmobileUS_Boot_Devtree and flash with it.

problem comes when i'm at flashing using RSD lite. when i flash it, it comes to 'please manually power up your phone'. problem is, i keep getting the motorola logo, which i assume is being stuck in a boot loop? i tried to go to recovery and wiping data and cache, and flashing it again, but keep having the same problem.

actually, how to you manually power up the phone? i did a battery pull since pressing the power button seems to get is stuck in the same boot loop, and i dont see any other way.

please help!
[Defy General] jeffokada81:
Pull battery,

put battery back in holding the VOL-Down until the android pops up...

press VOL-Up and VOL-Down at the same time.

Next screen is for wiping and updating.

Wipe Data/Cache

When done, go to REBOOT and hold down the VOL-Up to go into Flash mode. and flash with RSD 4.9

http://www.multiupload.com/ZZ4TU8W7UQ (This is for US T-mobile.)

You should be good to go...
[Defy General] lanfearxt:
i think i did a stupid thing and flashed the whole thing with a uk_rom.sbf. now my defy is showing a black screen but during flashing with a TmobileUS_Boot_Devtree.sbf, the screen does show SW Update but once finish, it's all black again.
[Defy General] lanfearxt:
how to i get to the android part when all i can see if the black screen at the moment? sorry for the stupid questions
[Defy General] lanfearxt:
i have a SEA defy if that's any help.

from the looks of it, i can only use an sbf file to restore to whatever point needed enough to recover more. this is cos i have a blank screen but rsd lite is able to see my phone and flash it with an sbf file.
[Defy General] jeffokada81:
Make sure the phone is OFF, after that hold the vol-down and power button and KEEP holding vol-down until you see an Android in a box with arrow pointing out..... them press vol-up + vol-down at the same time to enter another screen which will aloow you to wipe data/cache.

Once you've wiped.... download the sbf I linked you and use RSD to flash that in flash mode (vol-up + power on)
[Defy General] isa.ahmed:
no dear, for defy after u see the traingle of android

press the lower right which is hedin

and a menu will popup to u

this is the defy
[Defy General] lanfearxt:
Anyway, solved it by flashing it with a Finland rom 3.5.2

Maybe I made a mistake somewhere and bricked it, but now running a non-downgradable froyo, but I'm not bothered. Thanks for the help
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeODoubleD:
I searched for this and only found information on other phones...

What is the exact wallpaper resolution size for the epic. I made a cross and scripture that I set to 480x800 originally which is pretty small. I made it to fit the bootscreen for the modification that Rodderik came up with. Now I wanted to try and make it my wallpaper but it forces me to crop it way too small. I would think the 480x800 would be small enough but it's not. I have no wiggle room so I need the exact resolution that it wants.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeODoubleD:
***sigh***
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeODoubleD:
980 X 800 in case someone else looks this up.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeODoubleD:
Wallpaper

So I created a wallpaper at 980X800 which works, however when you flip the phone and get landscape it loses quite a bit of the picture. Is there a trick to this? It doesn't seem to be a problem with most wallpapers.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmspyder:
unless its in a "and I'm likely quoting this wrong" a .9.png fromat it WONT scale right on landscape.. and I'm thinking that a background wont anyway unless there is a mod to the framework.apk
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeODoubleD:
Hmmm... I think you're right. I'll post back with my findings and try to thank you since I can't in the app.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeODoubleD:
png

So gimp (which people use who theme) does save in png format, but I cannot find the .9 business. I'll test png and see if it helps at all, but I'm sure the .9 format is necessary. You probably have to incorporate two different resolutions into the same file and reference it somehow.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaLiBLeeK:
I'm hoping somebody has either tried something similar to this, or has more knowledge than me and can answer my question...

I'd like to try and theme the version of Swype that came pre-installed on our Atrix. I themed Swype on the Serendipity ROM for the Captivate:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10633404#post10633404

But that was seemingly more idiot-proof than the Atrix; I've seen a few threads/posts where people are unable to use Swype or reinstall it after uninstalling it. I'd rather not lose my ability to use Swype while trying to basically make it nicer looking. Haha.

So, has anybody tried anything similar? Or been able to restore Swype after accidentally deleting it? Would backing up Swype with Titanium Backup Pro save me if I need to restore it after potentially messing it up?

Thanks in advance y'all.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] IanRhethy:
I'm currently trying to get Android NAND on my [T-Mobile (US)] HTC HD2. It requires to flash MAGLDR, but you need to install HSPL 2.08 before you can do so. However, you can't install that unless you have SPL 1.42.0000.

Right now, I have SPL-2.10.0000.

I read this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5923079&postcount=4

It said that you would need to get a 1.48 ROM, but whenever I put my serial number in, it says, "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device." Should I do a hard reset and return it to factory settings or something?

What do I need to do to get SPL 1.42.0000 instead?

Other info: I have ROM version 3.14.531.1 and Radio version 2.15.50.14.

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
if you flash anything that gives your tmous (t mobile us) hd2 spl 1.42.0000, it will be dead. you are reading ooooold information, related to the regular hd2, not teh tmous (you have a 'tmous', or '1024leo' or 't-mo hd2' its important that you keep an eye out for that.)

So i have used different ROMs and love android on my kaiser.

However, after a few days use the phone tends to crash and afterwards loses all data(SMS etc) and/or apps. The 2.6.32 kernel seems to be better but this still happens.

So is there a way for this to not happen? I'm currently just restoring data to avoid reinstallign apps and using backup apps to restore SMS etc.

Is this to do with data being on NAND? and if so is there no data loss on SD card but is it slower and can you not remove SD card if you do it that way?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] -mtncn-:
i'm searching that too but i have a big problem with all android roms..

my problem : i can turn on the wi-fi and it shows me the wifi networks... BUT after i pressed on my network and entered my password correctly it says disconnected...

what can i do ? please help me it makes me angry :@
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Aiex Rlder:
anyone? i'm sure someone knows what's going on!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] seancojr:
From my understanding the older kernel 2.6.25 is more stable, although it lacks some of the updates that later versions provide.

Installing system to NAND and data to storage card is no doubt the most nonvolatile option at this point. It can run a bit slower, but this can be circumvented by overclocking the CPU using RogueTools (a bit taxing on the battery, however).

It's always a good idea to keep consistent backups made to insure your data is safe. You can never go wrong there. Just be sure you have the latest patch of the current version you've flashed, do a clean system install, add your usual apps, reboot to the boot menu and backup data, then restore data from the same menu. This has been the recommended process mentioned in other threads.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] chinomoreno:
this also happens to me, for a few days everything runs fine, however once in a while (about 2 days) system crashs and i have to restore data (with every apps installed). The problem is that all sms, call log, and some apps settings are wiped.. =( that's not cool ;P

another problem is everytime i reboot, or restore data, 3g is enabled... even if i put on settings "no data". is pain in the ass when my data plan limited exceeds, every time i reboot, carrier charges me more money... any solution? thanks in advance...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mmec2:
You can disable data on boot in the kernel, either in Atools or change ppp.nostart=0 to ppp.nostart=1 with a hex editor. I think the only way to enable data then is with Modem.apk, but most builds have it and if not, you can just copy it from a similar build.

I used it like this for quite a while when I was on a contract with no data plan.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Aiex Rlder:
could you possibly point me in the direction of guide for how to put data on storage card? i'm currently using it on NAND and it dies after a few days.

thank you!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] StripezZ:
you have to split your SD into three primary partitions: FAT32, EXT2 and one more EXT2. Use something like Partition magic or free EASEUS Partition Master to do that.

REMEMBER: all partitions should be Primary, not Logical. FAT32 must go first, or your Windows PC won't detect it.

first is acessible from Windows and is used for storing music, pictures and other stuff. You also place andboot folder to that partition.

second and third are for /data and /swap respectively. /data will contain all your apps, so don't be greedy with its capacity, and /swap is a location for temporary data, so 256 Megabytes are enough.

AFTER YOUR SD IS SPLIT, use atools to assign data and swap to appropriate partitions (SD partition 2 and 3), then flash your Kaiser with such an NBH.

FINALLY, boot up from sd card with Android build in andboot folder, hold the D-pad center for installation menu and select "data to SD partition" option.

Let the installation complete and press Quit to boot into your crashproof Droid.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dark_prince:
For me, the MOST MOST MOST stable build were Warbyte's Donut and Myn's Warm Donuts.

Froyo crashes pretty random at bootups due to init.rc corruption. If you want to be handy with android OS and don't messa round alot, I suggest you go with Donut. Froyo does offer you performance but in my opinion its less stable than a usual Donut build with 2.6.25
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zxxxy:
so youre saying if i do like You said I can reboot as many times as i want and nothong would wipe? and btw. if i use atools to mod boot settings my kaiser freezes when running quadrant benchmark or raging thunder.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] X46X:
That's right but on Donut lot of aplication dont work.. Lot of aplication woks with Android 2.1+ :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dark_prince:
Say one application which you want for Donut? and it doesn't work on it?

Majority of Developers start building for Donut first since its still primary OS for alot of devices. So far all of the apps worked on Donut for me. ADW, Handful of Widgets, Documents2Go, FruitNinja, and blablabla apps.

Flashplayer doesn't work even on foryo as of yet
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dark_prince:
Just a correction, to my understanding, 2nd Partition is there for Sys on SD Card Partition, and 3rd Partition is there for Data on SD Card Partition option. If you make a 4th partition with linux swap FS, it will be auto-mounted at startup

Zeam Launcher, newest Gmail, Twitter, SoundHound 2.5.2..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Krazy-Killa:
Never liked Zeam Launcher, it's just a dumbed down version of ADW in my opinion. But I will agree with the newest Gmail. Hell it's not even supported in Eclair. >_<

Donut is by far the best as it's designed for phones the same age as our Kaiser's, and Eclair would be considered an upgrade option for our phones as well. Froyo on the other hand as well as Gingerbread would be "unofficial" upgrades as they would be too resource hungry for our small devices.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dark_prince:
Zeam is pretty snappy but Helix launcher is okay on donut otherwise. Twitter, oh well, there are dozen of apps that tweet for you on your donut. Gmail, I agree. and soundhound, never used it >.<

Eclair isnt as snappy as froyo or donut but worths if software support it. I say that try thoughtlesskyle's Not So Super Froyo or mine build as well. Considering init.rc, its more obvious in updated versions of fresh froyos (usually happens if you reboot with some resource taking process running)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] blacki3:
i cannot install a donut release. but the froyo works installing.

I don't know why. any suggestions?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Aiex Rlder:
hey,

so i'm using data in a partition on my microsd card and so far is pretty crash proof. unfortunately it's only a class2 one, and so it can be slow and some apps like alarm doesn't work properly, i suspect this is due to the slow microsd card.

Is there a difference in speed between using a partition and using data.img without a partition?

Will using a class 4/6 one solve this problem? getting very close to a stable phone that does all i want! :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
I just bought this app as well. Downloaded Goldeneye, Mario, and Mario Kart. All games are extremely laggy. Mario kart is playable, but the on screen timer takes about 3 seconds for every second in real time. Goldeneye, which I was really looking forward to, wont even load past the pre-game animated video. Very disappointing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amcintosh32:
I changed the frame rate in mario kart, it worked okay, but still really laggy. Goldeneye and NFL Blitz were terrible no matter what the framerate!! I thought EVOs were fast?!!! What's going on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
Our processors are fast, our GPUs are outdated though. All the cool people run Adreno 205, we're stuck at 200.

Plus, as someone noted, it'll get better. There's a lot of stuff for the developer to work out to make the programming as efficient as possible so we don't experience so much lag. If you recall, it took the guy who did SNESoid several months before he could even get Super Mario RPG to work, and even so there's still enhancements being made to make it more playable.

patience...or buy a phone with better hardware. your choice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Its not our phone, the dev clearly states at the bottom that the app should be considered an Alpha as he has so many performance updates to push thru to get it working close to perfect on most high end phones. Just give it time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradleyw801:
Yes, the results posted here are actually typical of most phones right now. The Evo does have a slightly lower GPU, but that actually doesn't matter with these emulators. Someone explained that unless the emulator was using openGL, which it apparently isn't, it shouldn't matter. I don't know, I just read that.

I have tested it on two roms. Myns 2.2 RSL5, and UltimateDroid 2.5. Both with kernels that support overclocking. On the sense rom, I have to download setcpu and set it to performance. On UD, I can set it in the settings. I overclock to 1.19GHZ.

In the app I have found it doesn't really matter if sound is checked on or off. Turning up the frameskips seemed to help. My results so far are the following games play well:

Mario 64 (flawless)

Mario Kart 64 (just a little bit laggy, but very enjoyable)

Star Fox 64 (menus and videos are very choppy, but in game it's super smooth and definately worth the download)

If for nothing more than these 3 games, this was well worth $6. I would have gladly bought these for $2 each if there were available as standalones somewhere.

That being said, the developer is known for updating all the time. Star Fox is running much more smoothly now than it was when the app first was released, so already I have seen a compatibilty increase.

Expect to continue to see updates, and as they do, more games will be available.

Now, if ANYONE has some complaint about the $6 they paid, go complain somewhere else. We don't want to hear it.

So can someone direct me to the right thread that can let me install Windows Phone 7.

I have not done any flashing, or modding to my device yet.

As you can read here the WP7 rom is compatible with all HD2 devices (512 and 1024mb): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953078

You need to flash Hard SPL 2.08 with HSPL4 and then install MAGLDR 1.13 and after that you can flash the WP7 rom.

Its important that you use a 2.15 radio rom so you have to flash it before.

So:

1. HSPL4

2. Radio Rom 2.15

3. MAGLDR 1.13

4. WP7 rom

Just read the threads here for more information.
