Can anyone recommend me a rom for a Desire, My radio version is 5.11.05.27 and I'd rather have to not change it manually as I don't exactly know what I'm doing and would like to avoid creating an htc brick. Ideally I would like something as simple as possible, I'm not overly fussed about sense. I was looking at opendesire but it seems that its somewhat out dated now. Im currently using Leedroid, its not that bad it's just I dont know what half the features are for and I have no idea if its overclocking my phone or not and I would generally prefer if it didn't since I think the whole overclocking thing is somewhat pointless as I've never had any speed or lag issues with my phone before. Also am I right in thinking that if I backup a rom through rom manager and with clockwork recovery mod installed that is a Nandroid backup? I still have s on and I dont know if that prevents a nadroid backup or what. I hate having to ask this stuff but I have trawled the xda forums extensively and what I've been able to make sense of has been mostly unhelpful.

MIUI, and updating a radio is generally as simple as flashing an update.zip.

Casao posted:Babby’s First MIUI I started using MIUI after CM7 nightlies started to completely freeze my device, requiring a forced restart, which also broke my alarm clocks. (Somehow it would even freeze on booting) MIUI is pretty amazing. I am shocked at how much creative work they have invested into the ROM. I've been tinkering with it a lot and pretty happy with their fantastic work. I really do love the themes, I installed one (all are Chinese characters, so no idea what it is called) and it just makes the phone look beautiful.

It's worth mentioning that for some reason, since the CM7 nightly #12, the battery life on my Incredible has gotten noticeably better. I have no idea why, but it's nice.

With my T-Mobile G2, and I think all smartphones, the 'radio' is actually a separate processor core - an ARM7 in this case - running a separate closed-source real-time operating system which handles the low-level details of talking GSM/CDMA and presenting a modem-link syntax over a serial link or whatever to the CPU running Android.

What am not doing right on my friend's epic during the root process? I understand I need to be on DK28 having pushed two very specific files to the phone before jumping to CM 3.0.x or whatever... Problem I am having is it takes the root, takes the updated clockwork, says it sucessfully converted the phone to ext4... Then will not boot past the samsung screen at all. Do I need to drop a custom rom as soon as I go ext4? Am I just a clossal gently caress up and unlucky?

It's really only an issue in AOSP-based ROMs, like CyanogenMod, and even then they've gotten it working pretty well now, but I think you have to install a special build and not just the regular releases.

LastInLine posted:There aren't a lot of 2.2-based [Captivate] ROMs because there isn't an official 2.2 release from which to derive one. What the hell are you talking about? There's a loving ton of 2.2 ROMs for the Captivate. In fact, I don't think there's anything but 2.2 and 2.2.1 based ROMs available right now. There's 2.2 on the Rogers Captivate and the Armani Captivate and also they've been ported from the i9000 and Vibrant. There's a gigantic 2.2 dev community for the Captivate. And as for recommendations, I'm running the ROM Kitchen XWJS3 with JK4 modem and Glitterballs OC/UV kernel. Quad of 1950, Linpack of 17.1. Battery lasts all day, and it's got a nice interface that isn't an eye-sore like the Phoenix and Andromeda BLOOD RED colors.

Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902051 Alpha 3 hot off the press, connects in 15 seconds now. Flash the ROM then the kernel, and make sure the kernel flashes, you may need to disable signature checking in Amon Ra. Make sure you backup with Amon Ra 2.0+ or risk losing your WiMAX keys (you will never connect to 4G without this. Basically read the OP and check your keys.

One thing I keep noticing is that all of these Captivate roms seem to be talking about the 19000 version in particular, which I believe is the international version. Will it matter if I install these on my AT&T captivate at all?

The only thing really stopping me from trying MIUI out now that I can is that it's based off 2.2. Then again, the only things I'll really miss from 2.3 are the nice battery use screen and the good keyboard.

Is there any way to dual-boot ROMs? Specifically, on a Captivate. I mean, I could nandroid and poo poo, but  , especially because:ZShakespeare posted:With Galaxy S phones you must first flash your original rom with odin, then restore the nandroid. Galaxy S nandroids do not touch the Kernel and some other lower level stuff like they do on other phones. You will want to make sure you can obtain a vanilla odin rom for your phone before you muck around with others.

I liked MIUI, but between the default launcher not supporting landscape, and no support for the Desire Z shortcut buttons I don't see a lot of point in using it over CM because I use both of those quite frequently. To be fair it's not an officially supported phone, and I can see how it would be very attractive on a slate device.

Casao, can MIUI take the clock out of the notification bar and can I see the signal strength in digits instead of bars? I'd love to just have "-97" in the right corner of my notification bar.

Oh, another quick question: my AT&T captivate came with Swype and I really dig it, but I noticed some roms saying they have X different keyboards, with no mention of swype. Will I lose it if I flash to these roms? Would I then have to sign up for the beta version?

Anyone able to recommend a rom for an Epic 4G? I'm considering flashing this thing out of sheer desperation - Froyo is required on more and more apps while the possibility of this thing being updated "legitimately" is getting slimmer by the hour. So, the only viable option to make use of this phone will be to flash a rom with a version of the OS that isn't old, decrepit, and quickly becoming obsolete. I tried DK28 and while I didn't notice any problems, I did return it to the DI18 stock. So yes, I know how to use Odin.

Theme formats changed since then, so older themes won't work. There's a built in theme downloader for MIUI-Dev now, which should let you download compatible themes, though it's not the best selection. Solly posted:Does miui come with a2sd?

Okay, after seeing it mentioned over and over and over again... what is the difference between a2sd and the "move to SD card" option native to Android (Froyo?)? I actually had not put anything on my SD card because I didn't really understand the process, then I saw one day in Titanium Backup that there was poo poo there anyway (I guess some apps will move to SD by default, without any user intervention) and so I started moving all kinds of poo poo over via the Applications menu (mostly stuff that I wouldn't miss if the sdcard were unavailable for any reason). Does a2sd do something different? Also, if I flash another ROM, what happens to the stuff I've moved to the sdcard?

brc64 posted:Okay, after seeing it mentioned over and over and over again... what is the difference between a2sd and the "move to SD card" option native to Android (Froyo?)? A2SD is an unofficial thing. It requires you to make an ext3 partition on your SD card. It then uses Linux mounts to mount your /data partition (where apps are installed and data is stored) to this location. It means EVERYTHING is installed to the SD card, 100%. Move to SD leaves some of it on the phone, and copies most of the app to the SD. The original method is more complete, gives you more space. But the new one works well enough for me.

As for the music player; it doesn't play lossless. You know this drill; no programs will transcode lossless music to lossy music on the fly so I keep lossless music on the phone.

Ugh. I love CM7 (N1) but the phone/dialer lock up bug is just too much. Get a call? Make a call? Enjoy the black screen while the person on the other end waits 15 seconds to hear you. Yes, I understand it's an alpha but geez, you'd think such a horrific bug would get addressed.

DialerOne is just a number dialing app. I don't think it handles the actual calls. The other point of my complaint is that I'd love to watch the development happen as each nightly rolls out but reading the XDA thread for it is like stabbing my brain with the broad side of an SGS. A nightly drops and it's 80 posts of "FLASHING NOW" or "WORKS FOR ME BUT NO ONE EVER CALLS ME".

It puts stupid squareish surrounds around all the icons, which is one of the most obnoxious parts of iOS - it makes all the icons have the same silhouette which makes them a lot harder to visually distinguish at a quick glance. I've tried several themes but they just seem to change the overlay, not remove it entirely.
