Hello everyone,
Xperia is my first Windows mobile and therefore kinda novice to some terms used in this area. My colleague helped me in installing new ROM HTC touch it. It now looks like an HTC phone with cool graphics.
I know mine is tf3d but how can i verify. Also I keep listening to terms like manila, jailbreak, brick etc can someone explain me what these terms relate to. Need little overview of all these terms used.
I tried to install new themes and therefore installed tf3d config tool but it doesnt work on my X1 gives me an error.Is there any other way of installing these themes. Mine is the default black theme.
Hey sandy,
you can check your version under the Settings tab in your TouchFlo at the point "Info".
Also, if you can switch your home clock back and forth i can assure you its TF3D .
By Manila is meant the same as with TF3D(TouchFlo 3D). Jailbreak is usually used to be a name for an iPhone hack, but in our case you can categorize it as something connected with HardSPL. It's a tool that patches your phones rom manager and allows you to flash it with custom roms(like the one you got from your friend - means that your phone is already equipped with it).
I'm not sure about compatibility with the config tool since i've never used it, but i can tell you that the easiest way of applying themes is the usage of cabs.
You can find different theme-cabs in this section (themes and applications).
If you have any other questions I'd suggest you just to ask in here.
Thanks mate for clarifying, do you have a simple procedure on how to flash rom and install new custom roms. As for theme cab file is it possible for you to provide me with one theme cab file i just wanna test it out before downloading others. I assume i can revert back to my original black theme incase i dont like the new one.
hello m8 in this thread there is very usefull tutorial on how to flash custom roms and if u bored there is also tutorial on how to get back to official sotck rom. read it carefully and in 20 mins u will become profesional flasher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
i hope i helped you
The link you provided is about hardspl whats the next thing to do after hardspl? How to install custom roms available in this forums? Is there a procedure for doing this.
Actually there's always an .exe file with the rom package.
you simply start the .exe and follow the steps described.
The only thing to care about is a stable activesync/dev centre connection and a battery life of above 50%
I've been trying since forever to get 2.2.1 working on kaiser.. i tried every combination of radio and kernel.. but as soon as i start wifi or data it crashes rite away.. i have read in past posts it might be because of radio and all but i tired.. now i'm not asking to solve this prob.. just want to know to combination of someone who's android is working all fine. all i need is working android with as much performance as i can get.. no matter which build it is.. if someone can post their kernel with details of what radio they are using and builds i would really really appreciate it.. just need working android on my device..
Thanks for all your help in advance..

Not heard of this device. Perhaps a chinese copy of HD2.
OK, found something. It runs on Android, so you can only run Android apps. BTW what exactly you mean when you say things needed?
Need to se is it last SW, and need GPS for this phone.CoPilot Live- not work on this device !!

It runs 2.2 (as mentioned on the web), I don't have any idea if it can be upgraded, as you may know 2.2 isn't the latest version.
For GPS, you can check its specs if it has GPS or not, if yes then you can install the apps from the market otherwise perhaps connect an external GPS, although I am not sure weather an external will work or not.
You can click on 'Thanks' button, if I helped.

Maybe it could help us to help you if you could post the link.
The chinese website where I saw this, mentioned Android 2.2.
Many app not work on this mobile !

since it is running android, so the compatible android apps should run on it, but since its a Chinese clone, no guarantees.
You can trying looking at other android phones by HTC or some other brand, to be safe.
You can try this rom Update_HD2_3G.zip www.multiupload.com/XOVS2HZTHO to remove all chinese aplications and to improve everything.

Now HTC mobile phone is also very popular in China. But i am sorry i don't have it. It is a little expensive.
Is it upgradable to ICS???

Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Hello XDA,
I've been following you for years. I started following you with my first Android phone, an HTC Hero. I've been very happy to be able to use a community ROM that made a far better experience than the stock ROM.
I recently got a brand new HTC One V PrimoU, and I'd like to make it my new polyvalent tool.
I'm not a noob in computers, kernel/linux related stuff, electronics, networking. I already tried some ROMs. In fact, I started with KangBang 3.0 (the same version as now I think), but both WiFi and BlueTooth were not working. Android could not even detected the WiFi MAC address, so I guess it was a driver or wireless chip firmware related problem. I think I was the only one affected, so it was maybe a bad flash or I used the wrong kernel. I did'nt investigate more at the time, but if it happens again to me, I'll send some system/kernel logs.
I then tried AOKP, had a great (really) experience with it, except that the Jack plug sound quality was awful. No bass, only mid/high tones. I even thought my speakers were dead at first, but then tried with headphones. Now, I want to try KangBang again, because that ROM was good, and fast, just missing WiFi.
TL;DR
I'd like to ask some precise questions about KangBang and the HTC One V.
I initially wanted to ask in the ROM dev thread, but can't since I'm a new user, so I ask here. Sorry if the questions are stupid/simple/answered, but let's make a clear base, with precise interrogations and answers, so that they will never be asked again
The kernel is included in the .zip file. Still, do we need to flash manually ? Or will the Aroma installer handle that ?
What about ROM Manager ? Is it recommended to use or is it a good way to brick a phone as I heard ?
Does this ROM change the base Android system and file structure ? Would it be compatible with a side-by-side installation of a Linux system such as Debian ? (To see what I mean by side by side installation of Linux, search Debian Kit for Android on Google, as I can't post links)
Also, I'd like to tell ROM makers these advices (don't take them bad, I you think I'm wrong about them there's no problem, just tell me why) :
It would not be a bad idea to give a simple statistic about the ROM : the load average with the ROM installed on an idle and clean phone. That would give a good indication of idle power consumption and ressource wasting.
I see that users reporting problems with their devices NEVER include any kind of debug information. Maybe you should ask for them, just because by searching for this debug information they might solve the problem themselves. Most Android systems and kernels report a LOT of information, that we can access with simple commands such as dmesg.
Last but not least, I would like to thank you, ROM developers and XDA users for allowing me to play this way with my phone, and to make it work exactly the way I want.
Hugo G.,
ummm this device has kangbang?? (btw questions go into q&a )
so i'll move onto the TL;DR which i was grateful for
1) The rom thread should say what kernel but yes, we don't have s-off so flashed manually
2) Ignore rom manager don't touch it
3) think of it as the differences say with debian vs ubuntu vs mint all basically debian but all with they're own differences (pros and cons)
also about the "suggestions" to the devs, that will NEVER go down well, why should YOU suggest to use what to put in the threads also i know in my threads i ASK for logcats time and time again...
hope this helps
if you need more info i'll be welcome to add more, but 1st i need sleep BADLY
Hi all
I want to present you the work done by Serg090909 on the 2 Din Chinese Car audio system many people begin to use.
This sort of Car audio use WinCe 6.0 for Radio/TV/BT and the Android part for GPS and everything android can handle.
I only found information about modification in russian language by this famous guy i want to thanks gratefuly : Serg090909.
He made possible to boot from Sd-Card new builds (apollo tvbox and caravn776 build) for this sort of car audio and called it "GIBROID".
With this way, you don't touch at the Nands and don't damage your system.
Insert back your original Sd-Card to boot normally, nothing is replaced in the nands when you switch to your GIBROID Sd-Card
Work has been done to backup your nand and write nand again, but for end users GIBROID from Sd-Card is a better thing and the easiest way to do.

I 'll post pictures and updates to this thread and if anybody is interested in helping me reporting in English the continuous work of Serg090909 you are welcome to participate and report results here.
Thank you and have happy tests.
To readers : Respect the rules of XDA Forums and don't link to warez sites where you could found information about this
To moderators : Could it be possible to give me the right to post hyperlink or if not possible i'll wait 10 posts
To Serg090909 : I don't speak russian and Google translations are not easy so if you want to help here you'll be my guest star
HOW TO :
Install GIBROID on Sd-Card :
- Use Win32 Disk Imager (sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager) to Format Sd-Card and write "GIBROID-4G-11012014.img".
This image is 4g space. You can use max 32g Sd-Card, but since this operation use all the space of the Sd card you are invited to expand the rest of the Sd-card space for User space
- Use MiniTool® Partition Wizard Home Edition 8.1.1 (partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html) to expand the Sd-Card space.
- Place your GIBROID Sd-card inside the GPS Slot and keep safely your original Sd-Card.
Screenshots to Switch from Apollo to Caravn :
See (Screenshots) Switch from Apollo to Caravn.rar Attachments
Backup/Write Nand for "experts" :
Dump to the Sd-Card
- Download the script a10-Backup-SH (See Attachments). Copy it in the root of the SD card
- Install SU and Android Terminal Emulator with Play Store
- Run the terminal and see the operating system prompt a dollar sign ($)
- Type su and press Enter
- Type cd/mnt/extsd
- Type sh a10-backup.sh all
Restore Dump
See "Restore Dump" attachments
Compatibility List :
Klyde KD-7200d
Erisin
N708
Post your models
...
...
Hints :
Not related to GIBROID, this sort of car audio have a Hidden Menu in WinCE6 Part.
Hidden Menu :
- Go to settings
- Press 1357 with the remote controller
- Tadaaa !
Credits and Thanks all goes to Serg090909 and all the peoples involved in explanations, informations and helps.

WOW, thanks!
I installed this image onto a SD-card and it worked! It is verry stable and I didn't have any hang ups on boot! GREAT!
I have a couple of questions/remarks
The boot image is a skull and I want to change it to something more friendly Where can I find this image to change it, using total commander to do it for example?
Thing is: Now my bluetooth dongle doesnt work anymore. I have the buetooth button but I cannot turn it on (well, I can but it turns off again)
Even if I try to connect my dongle directly without HUB it doesnt respond. Is this a driver issue or do I have a wrong dongle for this image? The old serge Image did work with my dongle so can someone tell me if they have BT working and which dongle they use?
Also, the Wifi dongle doesn't work as well as it used to. I didn't have much time to figure out what happens but it connects but drops connection and doesnt work that great,. I will keep you guys informed if I know what the wifi dongle does and doesn't do.

Serg090909 is working on a new build that will be released shortly based on Apollo. The Bluetooth will work again.
Teaser
The actual build you use don't contain Bluetooth libraries, that's why you can't use Bluetooth (can be implemented manually with terminal but didn't test since a new release is coming).
Of course you can change the wallpaper as you wich like you would do with your phone and the boot image too (but i didn't digg to find the boot image actually).
I don't know what to say about your wifi, my dongle works like a charm without connection drop.. Maybe the wifi implementation was a bit buggy for some.. Let's wait for the new release !

Thanks Chandler13!
You and Serge090909 have been a real help on this topic. First I thought no one would care about these android radios and I would be stuck with the stock firmware! Now, I have a radio which does so much more and it looks nice! Even if there is going to be a new release which I cannot wait to put into my radio!. The teaser looks nice and has a great look/skin. I didnt understand what this apollo was, is this the musicplayer? It looks great anyway! I was just wondering, since we are running the OS from a SD-card, is it possible to make the internal memory a little bit bigger. This way we could install apps with no bother that it runs out of memory. 2 GB would be more then enough. I am running the OS from a 32GB-Sdcard so I have room to spare :laugh:
Thanks for the tip for the background, I allready changed the background but I didn't find the boot-image either...
I allready solved the problem with the wifi-dongle. I was in my car and next to my home, but my wifi signal wasn't that great. I used my iphone to make a hotspot and it worked like no other!

Apolllo Tv is another build in short, Serg090909 gived us the choice to launch the "Caravn" build, or the Apollo Build at first start till you choose to boot only one of both. Clean launcher parameters to take a look at apollo UI.
I just reported the very good work done by Serg090909 and i'm glad i'm not the only "french-english and others" to enjoy his work.
Believe me, it's a pain in the ass to traduce russian to english for a french ..
Of course you can expend the partition, i'll post more about this and making own builds.
And about a surprise i'm preparing for the WinCe part....... :angel:
To be Continued..

Nice! I love surprises
I also had the honor to translate some posts from Serge into english and I must say Google translate does a hell of a job. I didn't expect that :good:
Sure, you do get a lot of jibirish but if you read carefully you can allways make out what it says.
I'm actually dutch so my french isn't that good either. So i'm glad this wasn't in french or else I would be translating my ass off
Keep me updated about your surprise and the new build. I can't wait!
Any news on this new ROM?

Man, I'm very grateful for your big help! I have a N708 installed in my new civic 11 and the worst problem is that all I install in android comes to the internal memory not to the SD card, can I change this?
Move to NAND??
Hi I´m from Argentina, and I also must thank Serg090909, Chandler13 and Google translator. They made up a team that brought my unit back to life!
I had a problem with my original rom and screwed it up trying to fix it with terminal commands. It didn't boot at all and I couldn´t find a solution until this thread.
Now, I wanted to know if there is any way to flash this rom to the internal nand. I got nothing to lose since the damage is already done.
Thanks in advance!
Hi all !
Hello,
I'm french and I'm interested by this thread forum...sorry for my English.
The mine update via sd card too.
I have this model of car audio (WinCE 6 + Android 4)
Can confirm that it would work with my car radio?
Otherwise, I do not understand ... What can it do for me? boot other bluids with bluetooth support ? no affect my actual firmware ?
PS : I try this : in CE mode : Go to settings, Press 1357 with the remote controller..... but nothing appear
--> This might help people who have the same as me!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Otherwise, I had a startup problem on android, I asked the firmware to the dealer:
I managed to restart ... but it does not have me delete all my installed apps, just allowed me to restart (I do not know how, but its work (the firmware is 210 MB).
This firmware link (with explanation) :

thx!
Reflashing
I think that this thread is dead. I hope I`m wrong, since is the only one that deals with firmware for the device I have.
I tried to connect my laptop to the head unit and flash the firmware to nand but i failed.
What I did:
1) power off unit
2) connect laptop to USB OTG where the wifi dongle is, using a male-male usb cable.
3) power on unit holding menu and volume knob pressed.
4) screen goes black and stays there.
5) computer detects nothing.
Possible causes:
My android system is beyond repair ( I don't think this could be the problem, since it boots perfectly with gibroid on SD card)
too many extensions for usb cable. 1from the back of the unit to the dashboard and then the "male-male" usb cable...
Many many other of which I have absolutely no Idea.
In addition to this, livesuit tells me that gibroid image is not valid.
Any ideas?

Hi,
This is not OTG, in order to connect to android part via USB you'll have to disassemble the unit and find a real usb otg on android board. it is located right next to the socket where the 'wifi' marked cable is connected.

I've been reading about phoenix card software. Apparently it could flash the firmware from an SD card for allwiner chips. I guess I could try that before disassembling the unit. I'll let you all know how that goes.
