I just did this earlier today with Desire Z, lol, this is not my day.
Where did The New Guy thread go with the newest version 6?
I told my buddy at work today I'd update his phone from version 5 to version 6...and now it's gone.
Any help?
MODS - What's the deal?
I'm wondering the same.
EDIT: You can download 6 from ROM Manager. Download ROM -> Androidz.

Ah. Thanks! I overlooked that.
I don't know, but I can't even pm the rom author. maybe he's been removed or something...
WTF??? MODS?!
this was my rom of choice, where the f*** did it go?
All I know is I flashed the camera remap for Rosie And it caused my phone to not load the htc system twice. It is in rom manager.
sent from my Incredible using Tapa Talk
yeah i PM him about the launcher dock and hulu and he responded back then not even 15 min later the thread was gone...????
Says that his account is currently disabled.
He's built up a fairly solid reputation of taking other devs' work and claiming it as his own over on the eris forums. He had made a number of new accounts to avoid the ban, and I guess eventually he just moved to the Incredible with a new username.
But whenever he was banned from xda he would keep posting updates to his roms over on androidforums.com, maybe you guys can find him there.
Hmmm...yeah I always wondered why the ROM was under Andrizoid's name, but under some random guy's name here.
Also, pretty sure the thread is missing from AndroidForums.com also.

myn's two point two has been my daily rom since the two of you posted it, can't wait for an update
So, jdkor and new guy were twins? There is way too much intrigue on these forums for a 42 yr old guy like trying to make his toys better. Guess, I will stick to the trusted few going forward - ID, Lou, RMK, NIX, ifhtp.
By the way while we are on the topic, whats the story with "Blackdroid"? I use his ultimate droid ROM [see my sig] (pretty spectacular AOSP ROM to be honest). Apparently he went tellytubby byebye from xda too for something? What did he do?

Hey folks!
A friend gave me a hand getting DamageControl 3.5 on my EVO and I love it. I've been told that 3.6 has some new features so I'm going to upgrade to 3.6. I love all the info that's on this forum, but I've got a couple noob-ish questions, I'm afraid:
Somebody mentioned flashing radios/firmwares, where can I find those? Do I really need them?
Evidently in 3.6 there's new battery-saving features. Should I turn off SetCPU now? Are the two features mutually exclusive?
I like the idea of JuiceDefender, but how does the data-limiting feature work? If I launch the email app, will it turn on data or do I have to wait? Will I still get text messages if data is off?
Hmm, I suppose 3 questions
Thanks for your time!
EDIT: Hmmm, I appear to be in the wrong forum. My mistake... if a mod can fix that would be nice.

Unless you're have horrible signal, chances are you're fine the way it is. I believe there's a thread someone in this board (i think i saw it in the past few days) that was keeping track of the current radios, etc. I personally haven't upgraded my radios since i got mine in July.
Evidently in 3.6 there's new battery-saving features. Should I turn off SetCPU now? Are the two features mutually exclusive?
I haven't checked in on DC in awhile, but see if it says anything in the OP. If it's using Calkin's or Myn's ( i forget who ported it ) SetCPU will probably interfere & do more harm than good.
I like the idea of JuiceDefender, but how does the data-limiting feature work? If I launch the email app, will it turn on data or do I have to wait? Will I still get text messages if data is off?
Never used Defender, but i believe it changes how frequently data is poll-ed for. I would think if you choose to manually search for mail it will turn data back on for you. You will still get texts, but i believe MMS won't automatically be downloaded
Hmm, I suppose 3 questions
Thanks for your time!

Thanks for the quick response! I don't care about MMS, I don't think I've ever had a picture/etc sent to me via text in my life.
How do I tell if I'm using a port? I just grabbed the one off the android store.
um, I was just on the XDA mobile app this afternoon, saw that someone had released a miui rom with an english patch for the g2, and linked the main website for stock rom details, so I figured I'd wait till I got home, and now the thread is gone? I can't be that fuked up, I was on the subway, and lost data link

I had a feeling that the Rom wasnt gonna work. Everyone who flashed had the same problems I did 2 weeks ago. So far ive gotten a clean install with no errors but not boot. Which means kernel swaps from miui ports won't work. you have to build one.
I am the only one I believe who is actually working on this port. I won't release anything that won't boot, I've made lots of ports with 4 different kernels and they all do the same, which is not booting.
Currently learning to build g2 kernel from source so I can get port goin. If u guys wanna follow me hit me up @brownboyrx.
@gridlock32404 is helping me so if u know him, then u know I'm not joking. I really wanna get miui on g2 for me and everyone, stay tuned.

From what I've seen with Miui, there are several different themes. iPhone theme just happens to be one of them.
There's a lot I like and a lot I don't like about MIUI, but I think MIUI with ADW could be quite nice. I also like dev's that post bootable shiz.

Miui is a ROM built by a group of dedicated Chinese Android developers and was intended to be used in China to show off the Android platform. It was accidently discovered by a user over at the N1 forum some months ago and news of the discovery spreaded like wildfire overnight within the Android community. Since then Miui has been enjoyed and ported to a number of popular Android devices. Miui was ahead of it's time in terms of features, look and funtionality, it was repsonsible for the working of the radio on both the N1 and Desire running stock based vanilla ROM's. It has the best bits of Android and iphone and offers a very unique user experience, on a personal level the UI is intuiative yet beautiful. If you can get past the iphony look then am sure you'll enjoy this ROM if not then using a 3rd party launcher will get rid of most of the iphone look. The ROM is quick and stable and is updated every Friday at 3pm China time.
Check it out on their official website and be sure to use google translate as it's in Chinese;
http://www.miui.com/index.php
English forum;
http://miui-dev.com/
That was a great synopsis above.
The key points of MIUI:
It is Faster
Universal Themes
I still love Cyanogen too. My nexus runs MIUI and G2 Cyan. Good mix.

I started porting today and it boots up. But if I start any app and want to go back to homescreen I get a flickering screen. I have to disable the screen and enable it again. Then it doesn't show the unlock screen, just the statusbar (without clock) and the wallpaper. But if I touch the screen on the unlock position it vibrates. But it doesn't unlock. For unlocking I have to open and close the keyboard. After that the statusbar disapears and doesn't show up anymore until I restart.
http://pastebin.com/cnVFF9WF
Guess the main problem is because of this
Code:
I/WindowManager( 1520): Out of memory for surface! Looking for leaks...
But I don't know what I can do to prevent this.
Kernel is the latest one from CyanogenMod. Many other things work like bluetooth, radio, camera, torch, wlan...
With LPP it works alot better but there are still many bugs like the unlock screen not showing up...
Well thanks very much.

Is there progress for Swype on AOSP roms such as CM7 or.. Others? I left Sense-based roms from EViO and while it was very fast, I don't see myself going back. The only thing I miss, however, is swype. Now, I know that XDA is the best damn crew of developers when it comes to 'phone' software. I still haven't seen any threads about it though. Is there progress?
What kind of progress are you looking for? Find an .apk for it, install it and voila! Now you have Swype on your AOSP ROM.
What I am doing: sign up for beta. Then install the beta.
While waiting to be accepted, try this: take swype.apk from system app and libswypecore.so from system lib, and push to the same places on cm7. Worth a shot. Just backup first.

I'm a newb to all this...been with my droid inc for a bit now and only just decided to root it and try out some new ROMS. Chose Skyraider 4.0 as my first and am VERY happy with it, no issues except 1.

I can't figure out how to save scenes in skyraider??? guessing it just doesn't work? did I get a bad flash? pending improvement?

I hope that I'm not speaking out of turn, but I am unable to post in developer thread...SO...I figure this gives me an opportunity to introduce myself during my probationary period, and maybe bring some entertainment to the community through my adventures as a rooting noob.
First off, I decided to root my Evo 4g which I'd kept updated through every OTA the moment it was released. I thought that was the best way to maintain my device, though after the first Gingerbread OTA...I wasn't so sure. For some reason or another, Sense UI would reboot everytime I clicked on the home button. This was obviously annoying, so I looked for alternative launchers.
The only one that I could find at the time was Launcher Pro. I immediately liked the fact that my device seemed to operate normally again, but I wasn't completely satisfied with the lack of customization options. So through some more OTA updates, I finally got one that fixed my Sense problem.
Fast forward to a week ago...I saw that HTC would not be supporting the EVO 4g with an ICS update, yet xda-developers were all over it. Peace out Sprint-HTC...Hello Rooting Community!
Before I continue this journal...I just want to make sure that the Mods/Admins are cool with a guy that is still figuring things out with rooting his own device, sharing some of the highs and lows of the journey from a stock user...to a Rooted Outlaw!!

Yeah. Cool, congrats.
But just a word of caution, Developer threads are for developers. That's where ROMs and other software gets posted. So one day, if you are able to post there...do yourself a favor and don't post something like this there. You'll get blasted.
I don't really see a question there which needs to be answered (this is the Q&A forum an all) but I guess it's more appropriate here than in a dev forum. If you want to post in the dev forum, learn to code and write something useful that you want to share.
Am I the only one that has to hit that captcha refresh about a dozen times to find one I can read? lol
Back to where I left off...
So I decided to root my device...starting first with an unrEVOked3 guide. I didn't realize until unrEVOked3 failed to root my device with the message..."Is your device too new?"...that my journey had only just begun. Through a few more failed attempts with unrEVOked, I found myself trying the rEVOlutionary method. Only, I had previously updated my Gingerbread firmware past that point.
5 hours into the process...too much invested to turn back now...must sleep however since it's 5am.
I toss and turn in bed for a good hour, still trying to figure out what to do next. Did I miss a step?
Next night, after a day of staring at my phone and googling "how to root gingerbread evo 4g", I come across the "Rooting Gingerbread for dummies" thread at the Android Forums.
5 hrs later...I'm now rooted, but still watermarked s-on.
What did I do wrong?
Another night of tossing and turning...I must of screwed up one of the Captain Throwback steps...the sun is up, and so is my daughter...I got a couple of hours of sleep. Back to the computer!

Wait, what? No $, I want #...su...#...cool...EXIT...$?!?
Screw it. The Captain doesn't mention it, so I'm sure it's supposed to happen like that.
Reboot into bootloader...yup, it says locked again...I'm feeling good. Right on track. Why isn't it asking me to update? I never unplugged. The Captain didn't say to unplug...screw it, I'm unplugging. SD card re-mounts..."do you want to start update?"...sweet!
Fast forward through the unrevoked process, and I'm FINALLY rooted!!!
So...now what? lol
I'm gonna Google that..."rooted android now what?" Look at that, someone wrote an article with that same title! Flash Roms, customization, delete bloatware, run root-only apps...
Where to begin...
I first tried the Rom that Captain Throwback has at the end of his thread...I believe MikeG was the developer...CT says with a wink that it will be the last rom I will ever need to flash.
Titanium Backup and Rom Manager are AWESOME programs for the noob rooter. I never felt nervous flashing my first Rom KNOWING that my stuff was backed up, and that someone smarter than me with that device wrote the program that was walking me through the process.
After flashing that first Rom, I was stoked! My phone was running as good as the first day I got it! I immediately starting checking out all of the cool apps that require root access that I could never run before. CPU Master, Wireless Tether, Rom Toolbox...whoa...Rom Toolbox is a kick-ass App! With a capital "A". There is really no need for a few of these other apps that I got since Rom Toolbox does all of that AND MORE.
So I spend about an hour playing with my new apps, and setting up my home screens when I realize...wait a minute...I rooted my phone to get ICS. What am I still doing with froyo?
LOL. Why stop with ICS? you really should try some of the AOSP roms. I am currently running CIUI. very nice smooth rom very lite on space. As for great sense roms... try the Energy sense 3.5 rom release 3/15/12. I used that one and it was awesome but wanted to ditch sense.

I'm done with Sense too. I really like GO Launcher EX. The transition effects appeal to me, and ability to customize nearly everything...icon size, number of pages, item carousel, app folders...I really haven't found something that I want to do that limits me from.
I'll try that Energy sense 3.5 you mentioned though...I'm currently using Alter Rom 0.0.4 pre-release version. It's really nice! Great on battery life, and has that cool TV on/off effect when pressing the power button. I'm still trying to find that option in the settings...lol
Welcome to the dark side... Once you root you never go back to a stock rom....

this is my current daily driver... i use go launcher also.. This rom has the tv on off effects on power button presses. One thing to keep in mind with any sense 3.5 rom or aosp miui(ciui) have issues wiht sprint VVM... there is a workaround but I opted for the easy route and just switched to google voice.
Glad you finally decided to root, and glad you got through the instructions relatively unscathed.
Enjoy your custom ROMs, and I'm glad to have been of assistance .

Thanks for writing that guide bro! I thought that all was lost prior to finding it. The step-by-step instructions, complete with screen shots gave me the courage to finally take the leap.

I'm loving this Alter Rom right now!
I might not ever go back to Sense, TBH. I'm still looking for a fully functional ICS rom...I've seen a couple that are getting close. With 20k people online at any given time here, I know it's only a matter of time.
When that time comes, I just hope that it's awesome...lol...it would be a bit of a letdown if after anticipating something so much, it turns out not to be that great. Kinda like going downstairs Christmas morning, and finding a stocking full of tube socks.
If I were you, I wouldn't commit to anything too quickly. As they say, there are a lot of fish in the sea! There are a lot of great Sense ROMs out there. I prefer SOS X Odex. Running great, and active development. That's just me though. A lot of people love CyanogenMod, and I'll surely try CM9. Others like MIUI which offers something closer to an iPhone if I'm not mistaken. Never used it. There is even a nice WM7 ROM I saw, but it's not my thing. Experiment with different combinations of ROMs, kernels, settings, mods, and tweaks.

Good point. I can always restore.
I've been reading a lot about kernels...you can only use certain ones with certain roms though, right?
The next mod I want to try is setting up my sd card to ext4. I've backed up my sd on my PC, but I still think that I want to try it out with a fresh sd. I'm rocking that 8gb sd that came stock with the Evo 2yrs ago...so I'm probably more than overdue to upgrade that anyway.
I'll try those three that you mentioned. Thanks for that!

make sure you do the research before you partition that sd card and upgrade it to ext4. I have read, if i remember right that our phones dont support sd-ext4. just remember, with most sense 3.5 or higher roms, you may have trouble finding one that has working WiMax and Sprint VVM. This may have changed, but it was due to no sprint phones having this android version factory installed and they were all ports form other carriers.

You might want to check out Swiper's MIUI ICS? It's an aosp rom and it is one of the few stable ICS roms.
To comment on your posting privileges, I too am on my trial basis. But the thing is i'm not a developer but I have been rooting my evo since I got it at it's release. So i know a few things....I hate i can't post on the developers threads I've helped many via private messaging LOL It's frustrating....
started out using synergy/energy roms, (being more familiar with sense), once i downloaded bw, I had no more need for sense.
(Plug for Deck's ics here) once you go ics, you won't go back.
Regarding your question about kernels, just do the obvious and make sure the kernel is made for that rom (sense kernel for sense rom, aosp for aosp). Other than that, if you read through any development thread, you're most likely going to stumble across which kernels are more successful for each rom. It's usually asked by someone.
