See later posts... I forgot to switch to the Froyo version...
I picked up a G2 this morning, and I've been tinkering and toying, trying to see what would work and what wouldn't. Long story short, tried to install the HTC IME Mod that I'd previously used on my Vibrant and it didn't work. It installed, but then promptly FC'd as soon as I tried to actually use it.
Any ideas?
btw...My phone is not rooted and I hate posting n00b threads, but I can't stand Swype.

That did it. Forgot about the whole version change from Eclair to Froyo. Thanks.
Hey guys, I have a question regarding this. I have the Froyo installed on mines and everything is working good except when i go to the calibration tool, I always get a Forced Closed. Are you guys also experiencing this?

Worked for me just fine. Do you have both HTC_IME and Clicker installed?
Try uninstall and re-installing both.

uuhh sorry, enlighten me here please. what good does this bring?
lol there isn't even root on g2 et or custom recover lol
Is there a way to flash this on AVD?
we can take a look around the ROM and see what is up as well as look into breaking it before the phone is released. remember that the aria was rooted days before it was actually released as a phone, having the build can get us a head start on the hacking process. thank you for posting

Yeah, I agree, tubaking. He's full of crap. He's saying the rom is different and talking about sense ui. We all know that it has no trace of sense at all. Either he has a desire z or is just trolling. He's definately not one of tmobile employees who actually got a G2 tester model. He sounds like a 13 year old kid trying to screw with people on the internet...
I got no problems with posting pics of the phone tomorrow when i am back at work and yes it is a desire z. Same as g2 because the g2 t-mo rom loaded fine once i renamed the zip.

Not quite the same... Desire Z has different radio bands and 1.5 GB vice 4 GB storage on the G2.

Lol! I thought thats what it was. I wasn't quite sure if you were a troll or just a semi-confused desire z owner. My apologies. So... it did flash, huh? Wow, I knew they were close but didn't think you could use each others roms. Thats good to know! What works or what doesn't work? You mind testing it out for us? I doubt we want pics but would like a report on what doesn't work after flashing a G2 rom....
So here is the proof. Both hardware versions in the uk anyway were called vision and can put either rom on. This hardware had Desire Z sw on it when i got it.

This has been mentioned a few times before...its an old Epic og trick. Its not fullproof as I and a few others have tried it. No dice....
It worked pretty well for me. Not pinpoint, but close enough to actually use.
i always used this method ##GPSCLRX# and it works for me.

Wrong section. Your instructing people to flash an Epic Touch tar on the OG Epic. People who don't read before doing (which are common here) are going to brick their phones. Plus as far as I know I haven't heard many complaining about gps not working on cm9 for "our" device.

Dude! This is an E4GT build, not for our phones. Bad English or not you screwed the pooch here.....sorry.
Edit: I see Z already covered this.
Tried it and didn't work at all.
The way it worked for me was on a EL29 Rom...you can be on any 29...if I remember right from what I read on a different thread...When I was on fb21...no GPS...Went into Recovery from there ...restored one of my old EL29 Roms...went outside got a lock on GPS...From there went back to restore...restored ICS fb21...when it booted up ...went back to GPS and got a lock instantly...So it worked for me with that method...

swiftkey flow is an open beta, so anyone can download it and use it.
op, did you make a backup beforehand? if not, i would suggest reflashing your rom and simply installing the apk of swiftkey flow. but only if your imei is intact.

okay...**** man what an ordeal that was!! but i did it finally. got my phone up and running but now i have a couple of questions.
on stock rom(stock rogers rooted) shows 4g mostly but when i revert back to cm10 stable it bounces from 3g to h+. okay so i did a little comparison and while on stock it flips from HSPA+ 15 and UMTS: 3 but it only shows 4g. on cm10 it flips from HSPAP - 15 and UMTS: 3 but when it does that it shows 4g and 3g respectively. Now i know that custom roms especially this one shows "true" data and that they don't really align with the stock but i don't remember ever seeing 3g. Also, the current modem is 1747MVLLH1 but it doesn't match the two modems listed in another post titled "complete modem list" and they are: I747MVLLE8 and/or I747MLALH1. do i have the right modem?
Hello, I have a US Cellular CMDA desire so I am hoping some of you guys could please suggest some good Roms for it, I have had CM7 on it for about a year now which is fine, however recently for whatever reason a lot of my apps crash constantly thus I need to perform a clean install, so since I must go through the trouble of installing a rom again anyway, I would really like to put at least ICS onto it and preferably JB but almost all roms are made for the GSM desire which is not only quite annoying but also saddens me as I cannot load a lot of the cool roms out there onto it, thus any suggestions are very much appreciated.
Although if someone could also explain the shortage of them that would be nice.. because there are a fair number of these phones..
Oh and one last thing, can you possibly make any rom into a CMDA rom? using a script or something?
sorry for the paragraph and Thanks in advance for the help.

well I dunno... so far I've tried 3 or 4 JB roms and the most I got out of it was a boot animation and yes I waited long enough to see if it would boot I let it sit for 30 minutes and nothing happened, I suppose I'll try some ICS roms before I give up though.

Ha, thats funny, because about a year ago when I was looking for roms to put on this phone that was one of the first ICS roms I remember seeing and I actually got it to run and everything, I loved it too, although for some reason I didn't keep it I'm guessing because I had even less space than with stock or it could've just broke, I would say the first one though, (Edit: actually I think it was because something like the camera didn't work but whatever) but alrighty I'll give it another go and see about installing an apps2sd+ or int2sd script.

Yea it was one of the first ROMs I used back when I was a complete noob. I remember it was pretty stable and I stayed with it for a long time, but that might've just been cause I was too scared to switch ROMs

OH YES this plus that fix you posted totally worked, really fast too it only took about 1 - 2 minutes when I started it up to boot, well this is gonna be fun!
I got a tip on that fix thread about it working with 4.2.2 and looked at what rom he had and sure enough it worked. (although before I didn't do a full wipe as I did with this as well but hey it works)

well one more thing, I'm having this weird sd card issue where it isn't mounted on my phone, but heres the weird thing, I can use in my computer fine and I was even able to use it to install the rom but booted up I can't use it (note: this also was happening before I did anything and was running the stock rom) any ideas? I have already tried reformatting it again in windows as well, its not a big deal for me as I have a couple more cards, but I prefer to not use em if I don't have to, although seems like I will.

well I tried your rom and it sorta works.... it seemed to boot but.. the screen is black so I can't use it, although I guess something is wrong with my phone anyway, as some people have used that cmda fix and had success with multiple roms yet I can only get that one to work on it so I dunno whats going on with that... oh well one is better than none I suppose. (and I'm guessing asking for bulit in cmda support would be out of the question )
This wouldn't be because of the Hboot would it? the revolutionary hboot for cmda phones, I wouldn't think so since other users have it.
