I don't know really, that it's easy to set up and has high res pictures. I tried it on my friends xperia which I assumed was AOSP? I honestly don't know, I've just been really happy with how sense has been holding up. Maybe it's time I just install MIUI and try it myself.

You have to manually join contacts that don't have matching names as it has no automatic fuzzy searching, and the contact photos will become lovely at large sizes once they sync with Google. That's just AOSP, but on the plus side it doesn't insert retarded HTC specific data in your contacts' notes fields, and actually syncs photos to GMail.

Can't wait to see the new MIUI stuff, they've got some great ideas. I actually use Launcher Pro with MIUI on my G2, and it's a fun combination. I do have a question about nandroid backups, though - I have a single nandroid backup of the stock G2 image before I started flashing ROMS. I'd like to pull the genie app/widget (google news and weather) out and install it, since it's not available on the market. Is there an app that extracts things out of the nandroid? Or is there a way to do this type of thing?

Managed to soft brick my phone this morning. I've got an HTC Incredible and downloaded the .92 Hboot and flashed it. For whatever reason it doesn't ever let my phone boot past Hboot anymore. I can get into recovery just fine but trying to reboot or pulling the battery and booting it up just tosses me back to hboot. No clue why this happened. Anyone have a link to .79 hboot sitting around or willing to help me find it? Googling it is a huge pain in the rear end because it's all just forum threads asking for help on stupid poo poo. Worst case scenario I'll get one of the newer RUUs if I can find that and run it then reroot and restore my backup. e: wound up just running the latest RUU and re-rooting. much less of a hassle than trying to find a specific hboot apparently. And this RUU gave me .92 and it's not being an issue at all! baram. fucked around with this message at 00:27 on Dec 24, 2010 |

Anyone rooted a new EVO recently? Any tips? Following instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865204 And installing CM6.1.1 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735596 I see threads mentioning losing 4G permanently. I know it is disabled in CM but apparently this is something different. Does anyone know how this is happening? I hear 4G is rolling out in the bay area soon, and I don't want to miss out. Edit: I guess by reading around, it sounds like I have to update the radios to install the latest CM. Everywhere else I read makes it seem like not a big deal, but the OP here makes it sound scary. Thoughts? BrassMonkey fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Dec 24, 2010 |

I hear 4G is rolling out in the bay area soon, and I don't want to miss out. I don't know anything about the rooting process or 4G breaking, but I have read that CM recently got 4G working on the Evo, so that shouldn't deter you from that.

It was a Win7 x64 issue of some sort on the 2 PCs that I first tried. Busted out my work laptop (Vista 32), and it flashed and rooted fine. Couldn't even root my Incredible today on Win7 either. Tried it on Vista 32, and perfection.

I was stuck where you were for quite a while. Assuming your bootloader is 3.04, you need to sbf to the .320 leak, then install the 4 leaked .340 updates (radio, system, bootloader...and some other poo poo. They come in a pack released by Team Black Hat) from clockwork recovery (using Droid X bootstrapper). Then...root using z4root, install your rom as usual. As far as your computer not seeing your phone...are you booted into the bootloader? Also, try using a virtual machine with some small linux live cd ISO with sbf_flash. I'm on a mac and it was pretty much my only option, and it was easy as poo poo. Stick your sbf files on a flash drive along with sbf_flash. Make sure the flash drive is plugged into the VM. Open a terminal in the linux vm, navigate to the flash drive, type chmod +x sbf_flash, type ./sbf_flash sbfwhateverthenameofyoursbffileis, and sit back. Super easy, I promise.

Oh, hey. A semi complete Gingerbread ROM for the N1. Theeeeeeeen it's shitted up with a bunch of retarded crap. quote:Google Apps added: quote:Other Apps:  I would also like to mention that if you read the OP you can see that some poo poo is pre themed too. Why can't these asshats just leave the bling at the door? Half the crap I flash outside of CM I spend an hour cleaning out. edit: I realize I'm being a little nitpicky in this complaint but it's disheartening to watch actual ROM development go down the toilet. Most everything you see on XDA is someone else's work with MAD TYTE THEMEZ and a bunch of preinstalled apps that any dolt can just get from the Market.

zarg posted:Yeah they look really solid for the price. Really excited to get mine tonight. I'll report back once I've rooted it and let you know how stuff like tethering to an iphone works, and how netflix goes over wifi, as those are 2 things I'm eager to test. Also going to work on getting some sort of doc editing going on 2.1, if that's possible. Froyo has been released for the Nook, (yesterday) but I'm sticking with 2.1 until 2.2 is more stable, so my tests will be on 2.1. Update: About 70% done with my Nook's setup. Rooted and running 2.1 with ADW as my launcher. Superuser and ADB are set up, sideloading works great. No lag or any issues with the hardware, aside from some wifi stuff that might just be a problem with my home network. I've yet to try tetherting, and netflix didnt work on the first try. I'll keep looking into this and post a trip report once I've got an answer.

Didn't see it mentioned but it appears Cyanogen is hard at work on CM7 and almost done - Nightlies are probably starting soon and you can flash a bootable ROM from their source. Only thing not working (besides obvious like 4G) is video recording. (Source: Cyanogen's twitter account)

Most everything you see on XDA is someone else's work with MAD TYTE THEMEZ and a bunch of preinstalled apps that any dolt can just get from the Market. The only groups that have actual dev skill are Team Douche and the MIUI crew. From my personal anecdote with the Slide community, everything is either based off of CM6 or it's a half-baked Sense UI ROM that's themed unnecessarily.

I've got a G2 on order and I'm trying to make sure I know how to root it before it arrives. I think I've got the procedure down for permanent root but I'm confused by some of the terminology. When a device is said to be rooted that means you have root access in linux terms on the phone's OS right? So does that mean you are rooting the current ROM on the phone or are you unlocking something else in the hardware?

I've been using it since .06 I believe. Works pretty well except for network location, but I don't think that works on any GB rom so far. At least for the N1. While it's not mind-blowingly fast, I actually notice a lot of stuff is smoother than Froyo. Scrolling through menus/feeds specifically. The only reason I'm actually using it is so I can think to myself that I've got the latest and greatest poo poo around though. It's not that spectacular. All the extra bullshit is easily removed too.

So does that mean you are rooting the current ROM on the phone or are you unlocking something else in the hardware? Sorta. With the old G1 you would just root the ROM and from there you could flash new recoveries and ROMs that already come "rooted". If you flashed a stock ROM you would lose root. With the G2 there is this other setting in the bootloader that needs to be changed in order to flash new ROMS and such (S-OFF). Look at the link I posted on how to root a G2. It's that easy. The hardest part is getting ADB running if you've never done that before.

I have a Virgin Mobile Samsung Intercept, Android 2.1, fresh from Best Buy. Has anyone here successfully upgraded and/or rooted one of these? There's some SuperSixty1 guy on Youtube but he splits his steps across videos and has an unfortunate speech impediment, so I can't figure it out to a degree I'd be comfortable with. I just need some idiot-proof steps to backup what I have (or find a store-bought configuration I can restore to) and then get this done.

Unrevoked v2 from a long time ago did, and the newest version of amon-ra recovery does a better job backing up RSA keys for 4g than clockwork.

For anyone else on Virgin Mobile's "Beyond Talk Plan" with an Intercept, follow this Youtube to the letter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=statBon1mqE Now then, can anyone recommend me a rom for general better performance, simpler UI? What are the good ones? I'll be damned if I'm going to let any non-goon internet recommend me one.
