So I'm trying to get into T-mo, what phone do I grab. The G2 or the MyT4g? I don't care about the keyboard really, but rootability is big. Since Cyanogen runs a G2, I'm thinking I might go w/ that. Does the MyT4g run cyanogen etc? I don't think I can let my guard down for the Nexus S to be honest.. maybe after it comes out I can ditch whichever on craigs and grab the nexus s.

I need to get away from my drat hero, its soo loving slow.

G2. Cyanogen loves his and he's actually releasing updates for it more than his Nexus One now. He's getting unfuckered Quadrant scores of 3k+.

i love my MT4G, it's thin and solid and feels really good in the hand, plus it's faster than the G2 and has the front camera. CM porting to it is coming along slowly though, one dev put out an early alpha with a bunch of missing features, and it'll be at least a week before another dev gets an MT4G - if you must have AOSP you should definitely look elsewhere. Keep in mind that MySense isn't bad at all, and thanks to the ton of RAM and fast chip the phone flies right out of the box.

Is anyone aware of ROM development for the Canadian Telus Fascinate? I have scoured XDA forums for information but turned up nothing.

Yeah, apparently they don't care about Canadian phones (at least not Canadian SGS) on XDA.

You could always try posting there. Also in the Vibrant forum, since Samsung classifies it as a variant of the Vibrant (SGH-T959), even though it's up a flash and down a 1700 band.

I rooted my international Galaxy S and installed ROM manager. However, when I try to boot into recovery with it or make a backup of the current I get an error message saying "failed to verify whole-file signature, signature verification failed". If I actually could get clockwork recovery installed I could of course disable the verification, but now I just get into the normal recovery screen.

Help?

The Telus Fascinate is unique in that it is a Fascinate that uses GSM instead of CDMA. From what I understand this means that stuff made for the Verizon Fascinate won't work.

For reference the Rogers Captivate is identical to the AT&T Captivate, and the Bell Vibrant is identical (slightly different modem firmware, but that's simple to change) to the international i9000.

The point is that the Telus Fascinate probably won't ever see a huge development community like the other two.

The Froyo kernel comes with a new recovery that actually performs the update.zip signature check (like the CDMA Galaxy S devices) that was missing in the Eclair versions. The only fix for this is to replace the kernel with one that includes the old (no sig-check) recovery.

This will do the job for you. Also note that this is a pre-rooted kernel, so you can actually apply it on a unrooted Froyo ROM and you'll get root capabilities after. It shouldn't be a problem to install on an already rooted device.

The ROM manager version of ClockworkMod never actually installs to the device. Instead, it is loaded from the update.zip everytime you boot into it from the stock recovery. ClockworkMod itself will load update.zips without signatures, but so does the old recovery so the distinction (for that purpose) isn't great right now.

There's been a new one, but remember that the MIUI team don't develop for that device themselves. Blame your device's developer community for any delays.

Axura was clean and simple and worked well for me, but last time I checked, the dude lost it over people not paying him for the rom. I don't see much future in it. It seems most other roms had some sort of gotcha to them.

Is anyone here running the 2.2.320 leak on your Droid X and having problems restoring apps with Titanium Backup? I posted a thread on XDA about the issue when I realized I couldn't restore a single app without my phone rebooting itself. I think it has something to do with the way TB backs up apps, so be warned that until the problem is fixed, none of your backups are valid.

I love mine, too. Only had it for 2 days and it's the greatest thing ever. I'm hesitant to root it already - it works so well as is. I'll probably hold off until 6.1 official, so I don't feel compelled to re-flash it every time another RC comes out.

One question - how many alert LED notification options are there? The super-slow pulse on the action button drives me nuts, I'd just like something a little more frequent.

Also - are there more options for waking it other than that button on top?

After doing a lot of reading on XDA under G2/DesireZ sections (I'm still waiting for Vodafone UK to ship my Desire Z! :arghfist: ) I think the only difference is that they use different HBOOTs. So just make sure if you're changing it to use the right one.
