Develop Bugs

Just got the Desire

Heya, I just got my Desire last week, this is my first Android phone.
I've been following the forums since I found them this monday (or so). And decided I pretty much wanted to root my phone so I can get access to the market, and such.
First of all I wanna know just how easy it is to revert it back to how it was before I messed with it?
And then I'd like to hear what ROM I should use (with reasons), if I just want a pretty clean one, with improvements ofcourse, and an unlocked market and all that?
And if someone can tell me how/what program I can use, to save all my contacts and texts and so?
Thanks
(I did search, but there's just too much info, hope this will stay on-topic and not get confusing. )

Rolling back to 'stock' is easy. You just run an the nbh file which is probably available somewhere on this board, which returns your phone to factory settings - rom, radio, hboot and all.
Your contacts are saved automatically in your google account.
For sms try 'sms backup and restore' from the market.
By the way you posted this in the wrong section. Post in the general section next time. This section is for rom development.

Actually, everyone suggests 'sms backup and restore' but it doesn't backup mms...
I would either go for SpriteBackup or MyBackup

Thanks I don't have any mms atm, so that's not a problem
But what ROM should I be using then? >.<

I suggest you NexTSense 3.2. It's awesome!!

He wanted a clean one
Try some asop image like opendesire or cyanogenmod

Indeed What does asop mean?
And well, a clean one, but RAM improvements and such are fine
And I like HTC Sense, I think
Unlocked market:
I'm from denmark, so I can't buy apps, I can only download the free ones, and I want to be able to access all of it

[Q] Couple of newbie questions :)

Phk said:
Greetings fellow Friends from Galaxy
I just moved myself from the HTC Magic section to this one.. It was quite a jump, the Galaxy S Camera and 4inch screen are AWESOME =)
I have a few noob questions that I don't want to spread through many posts, so i've chosen to get them all here, without polution this forum section. Also they might come in handy for future Galaxy S buyers!
My phone is: 2.1-update1 @ I9000XXJF5
Question #1
Well at first glance everyone's trying to fix the "LAG PROBLEM"... I haven't noticed any lag!! What are we talking about? If its a fix.. i want it too
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the lag problem does not accure instantly after startup, it takes a while to do so.
Question #2
The phone came with Android 2.1, but at samsung-firmwares.com and at this dev section of the forum, i saw the JP3 Froyo release. How stable is this? Is it already a daily driver or a total beta? As an Android lover, i'd love to have the latest
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this release is, lets say, alpha quality, however some do use it daily and seems to be stable so far, but the jit is broken, so dont expect it to be faster than eclair
Question #3
I've used the One Click rooting solution and then the ROM Manager Clockwork to boot into clockwork rom and make a full-system backup. In my HTC Magic i had the recovery ROM (Amon_RA) flashed into the internal phone memory, so even if i didn't have a ROM installed, i was ALWAYS able to boot into recovery. That was a safety plus. How can i flash the Clockwork Recovery directly to my phone, without the ROM Manager? I'd feel more secure if i could count on recovery even if, for example, i flashed a non-working system ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can run the clockwork recovery from original recovery by simply running it´s update.zip, this does in fact load the clockwork recovery into memory
Question #4
So what is YOUR favourite ROM? My stock has some unwanted apps, and even worse, it's Eclair. I'd like to switch soon, but i don't know these Galaxy S ROMs Tell me what's the best ROM for you!
Thanks guys, XDA is indeed the #1 place for mobile stuff
Cheers

If JIT is broken, the rest of new 2.2 features can be achieved through Market tools... I'll stick to 2.1 then. By the way, where's a CLEAN 2.1 Rom? this one has lots of service-provider tools... They suck.
FadeFx said:

Now That's a fix! So i just have to keep my update.zip of Clockwork Rom in INTERNAL SD CARD so that anytime, anywhere, i just have to perform update.zip and the Clockwork will boot ONCE from RAM and them be cleared at next boot, right?

I've seen the fix but i'd like to understand if the bug exists in every kernel, since is a file-system related bug.

I dunno about you but HACKECLAIR surfaced the day I got my phone so I thought it might be destiny, or you know just a co-incidence.

Give it a try, it clears out the stock rubbish and leaves it in a folder on ur sd card to install later if you need it.

[Q] Problem with flash player with custom roms

Hi there, long story short - with revolution and leedroid my flash player isn't working correctly (when I load some site with flash based banners in it I got error massage: "page cannot be displayed check...and so on" on their place+some flash based video players on sites are not working). I tried to reinstall the flash player, turn off/on my phone, etc,but without any luck. I did full wipe when I installed the roms+I checked md5. I also tried tb-stock - on it banners looks fine, but still can't play video on some sites :/. I just don't know what the issue is. The roms where installed going with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769 it was easy and run smoothly, except the f*c*ed up flash... (with is a problem, because I use my device as tablet a lot). Btw, as I am asking, is there any simple method to reverse my phone to stock, just asking in case noone can't help with my personal drama(I backed up the downgraded rom, if that helps).
I searched the forum+roms threads, but didn't find anyone else with that problem. Sorry for my incompetence on the matter, and I hope you can/want to give me some tips. Thanks in advance .
P.S. Also, sorry if that's not the right place for this thread, but I think it suit it best (I can't post in the dev section - 10 post rule ftw ).

have you tried a different kernel?

Yes, same :/. It all began with my desire to overclock... tried unity_v2 for example on the revolution(as it was adv from 2-3 people around), but it's the same, didn't help at all.

LeeDrOiD updated to 3.2.0 fixed the issue 100 %.
There is also a 3.2.1 patch available dl using ROM Manager to sort out any very minor lag you may have. Works for some, not others.
I have never had lag (Edit: in current build) or his last few builds running everything as per my signature.

I saw leedroid 3.2 changelog and hope the same as you say, but when I installed it... same thing :/. Btw, leedroid lags, when for instance I watch video from youtube(yes, youtube works, tho it crashes a lot..), there is like slowdown-normal speed-slow down-normal speed, but thats not the main issue(or have something to do with the f*c*ed flash player. I just don't get it, I did everything as it should be done, its not hard... and I get that bug, but noone else got it, lol wut :<. Some other idea? What I do wrong?
EDIT: The problems was caused from adfree part of the roms as it seems, I will research more on the subject after work, but it defo looks like that. All my thankfulness goes to mike1986, and all that helped me out.

Full wipe all available partitions to ext4 before flashing ROM with latest CWM ext4 version.
Make sure you don't restore system apps and data, particularly flash. Don't want to carry one bug from ROM to ROM.

Check your PM, hope you go it as had trouble with adsl connection cutting as I sent it.
Let me know if you've got nothing, will try and post here if not. But travelling a bit tonight, so won't be able to answer for a bit

I get all 3 of them. I really appreciate you take so much time to answer me. Thank you again .

No worries. Hope you manage to sort it out.

[ROM][April13][KitKat][4.4.2] Beanstalk | Release 5 | bravo System wizard stop work

-flash the room
-boot
-flash gapp
-boot
After that Sistem wizard is stop working. What can i do please help @Chromium

Are you sure? I tested a few times and it worked fine. If you do a full wipe, flash the rom and boot it up is everything ok? (no gapps yet)

Ok, i was just talking to someone that was having the exact same problem as you and it turned out that he wasnt properly doing a full wipe.
You need to format everything other than the sd. In 4ext the option for this is in wipe > format all partitions (except sdcard)
Make sure you do this.

1. Users arent really having to go through much trouble. The only difference now is that you need to reboot in between flashing the rom and gapps.
2. By slightly breaking the setup wizard, I seem to have been able to fix the WiFi bug where it would get stuck turning on. I would rather have better working WiFi that I constantly use, than a perfectly working setup wizard which I only use once. Im sure the majority of other users feel the same.

you're right. I just said. Don't be mad on me :|
And finally it started . Hell yeah :highfive:
Thx for the somthest,fastest,stable 4.4 rom :>
hell yeah.

VPN Issues
Greetings, I have installed Beanstalk 4.4.2 on my 4 years old Desire just few days ago. So far so good, it is great, fast, it really revived my smartphone. But ...
What is the reason no form of VPN works on it? I have some prepaid solution and its app doesn't work. OpenVPN doesn't. PP2P/L2TP solutions don't work. Is it system bug which needs fix or am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks for answer.

Sorry to ruin it for you but camera will not be fixed with K3 release, if it will be released anytime which I highly doubt anymore. It is a matter of unreleased sources and libs by HTC, so the best we will get is what we already have, camera-wise. So long story short, if you want fully functional camera and video recording, GB is the only way or that chinese ICS released sometime ago.
Tapatalked

So if I want fully functional and fast HTC Desire I should go for Mild Wild or pure CM? What is the difference between cm based and redux based MW? Thanks.
Odoslané z TF300T pomocou Tapatalku

I would recommend Mildwild MW rom based on redux2.

They're just slightly different ROM bases. Install both, see which one you prefer
It's the best way to find out, unlike recommendations without justifications as above..
Remember you can maximise space much better with either of those ROMs as they into smaller hboots
CM version will fit into cm7r2, redux should fit into oxygenR2, check the threads.

Any ROOT for Gigaset QV1030 ?

I am searching desperately but I can't find a root for it anywhere. Tried Framaroot, Towelroot so far.
Any ideas? :/
Framaroot says: "Your device seems not vulnerable to exploit included in Framaroot"
Towelroot says: "This phone isn't currently supported"

bump
Anyone? :/
This is really important. Any information about it would be very valuable

Hallo,

- scroll to the bottom for the download links and changelog
- the latest version is 17-04-2015 (which i'm using)
- there is also a link to cm12.1 in the forums, but it's way from stable and usable
you have to be rooted with cwm to flash cm12...
you can root this tablet with towelroot (but only with towelroot version 1)

I just got my tablet and it's pretty much unusable out of the box. Super laggy and you cant even watch 1080p videos via Youtube. Is that just me or something that everyone experienced? I'm looking to return it as it is now, but I'm still curious if there is anything I can do about it!

i had no problem watching full HD videos in MX player...
i think there is some media driver pack mentioned in the forum that can be installed to inproove the hd videos (it works for mx player, don't know about youtube - but i don't have problems watching anything on youtube though)
did you try to root it?
there is also a BBR rom in the german android-forums which is almost like stock rom but cleaned and optimized a bit...
the biggest problem for this tablet is lack of the official support (they made it, and then forget it) and custom kernel that would sort things right...
my kudos to the german people from android-forums that gave a bit of life to this tablet with cm12...
