hi..
first this is a great site..has alot of info on everythin you need .. 2nd my newbie questions is this ..i just installed redux.. now as i on my htc sync it wont detect.. can anyone guide to a post on how i get the htc sync to detect when i plug in?..
Don't think it works, it needs Sense
thanks for the reply .. well how do i get it to work ?..
you need to install a sense based rom, like leedroid.
tbh mate, your better off just using the disk drive option rather then trying to use htc sync,
htc sync seems pretty slow and sluggish
Not my version it doesn't
for me Redux has a higher priority than Htc Sync
Thanks for the reply guys!!! i had to dig in more harder and harder and found out i had to revert to stock then htc sync works ..but to regrets i cant even retrieve all my contacts lol so part of my stuff is gone. well for no doubt the redux is a damn good rom to use.. imma say F..IT and just go back to redux ..cheers !!!!

Not that i'm knocking redux as i'm sure it's a good ROM but if this is something you need might be worth searching for a sense ROM instead. You never know you might find something you like better.

I have seriously tried about 15 different ROMs for my tilt2 and I am about to get rid of it because I can't find a good ROM that has everything I need... So, here is what I need...
Youtube working
Link contacts to facebook
Contact information to save when I put it in
Location service
Ability to get hotmail e-mail on the phone
I think that is it...
Are there any ROM's that work like that?? So far everything I have tried is missing at least one of those capabilities :/ I'm getting very disappointed...
Did you not try the phone out or even read what programs work with it before you bought it?
I find it hard to believe that your phone cannot do what you are suggesting it can't do.
I could do all of that (except the location service) with the stock AT&T rom... However, that ROM was extremely slow and aggravating as well...
I also have an HTC Pure - I found a perfect ROM for that phone that does everything I need it to do...
I just can't find a ROM here for the T2 that does everything I need...
I'm not an idiot, I know what this phone is capable of and if I can't find it in a new ROM here that is better than the stock ROM I will get rid of the phone.
Please don't act like I'm stupid because I'm really not... If you're going to be rude, you don't need to post. Thank you
Hey DillyBar, I have to agree with glcK23 on this one. I don’t think he means to be making any assumptions about your intelligence. All the stable ROMs can do the things you need (which are really basic).
When I say “stable” I mean I’m excluding WinMo 6.5.1 ROMs and those with Manila 2.5. There are known issues with those and you either have to live with them or simply don’t use them.
al the roms are doing what u are looking for.... i dont know if you know what u are talking about??? or maybe u are not using TP2???
Hi,
I have recently converted from Sence based ROM to Vanilia based ROM (OpenDesire 4.0) and trying to find some alternative apps for the core features I use all the time on my phone. The main one I am looking for is an app which can select/copy and paste in most apps?
I have tried searching and googling and only seem to find this one which takes a screen shot and then OCR's but people say its very inaccreate. I am also only really looking for text not so much images.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
That is exaclty what I am looking for!
I started a thread once, but it pretty much ended nowhere.
it's this one here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753056

Thanks for the link. It seems its the same one I noticed earlier which doesnt quite do what I want. Will keep doing some research and will let you know if I find one suitable for just text.
Yeah, it didn't quiet do what I want either
Oh yes, please keep me updated if you find something out, would really appreciate it.

Will do.
Just sorting out a few other apps atm due to converting from sence based ROM's.
Search the market for an app called 'Copy Paste It'. It's not as good as the Sense copy paste but it works pretty well.
Hope this helps

heheh no problem. Looks like atm its the only opton. Shame really.
The htc Sense "copy/past" make all the difference..I'm SO UPSET that ONLY htc SENSE can make that !! I was happy too with my cyanogen Rom until I discover that navigation without the copy/past is just ****..how the F**k they didnt think about that when they realized these roms to include it!! because of that im back to htc sense which is so far the best for rightnow, I know that the problem is related to the "browser" naked in android, and the htc one called WEBKIT 3.1 have it...why is it not possible to include then the WEBKIT browser in the other non sense roms then ????
Hey guys, ive been messing about with a few roms and they are all great but i think my favourite is opendesire, the only reason i dont like using it is because im not a fan of the camera application, i really like the htc one so i installed Pinkys rom but it doesnt have a feature i love in opendesire, its when you click on a contact it pops out giving you the option to text/call whatever, is there a way i can install the HTC camera onto open desire or even just all of htc sense?
You just need the stock contacts in a Sense ROM. I would recommend getting a MoDaCo ROM and baking in the options you want...or just put up with it as I doubt Adam is going to add an HTC app when the point of OD is to be a stock as possible
Any chance of giving your thread a title please? It would help people see what help you need.
Thanks.
HELLO EVERY BODY I was just wondering if it is possible to do a port of benjamingwynn's super awsome .sense rom to the mytouch 3g slide?
It's just a really great rom that might just bring the mt3gs back for one last time.
Just don't want to give up on this phone, I love it to much.
well, i might, but, im more focused on getting WiFi to work in ANY sense 3.5 rom
Well that is important and I thank you for working on it! I
I just wanted to know so I can give porting a rom a try. Want to contribute something instead of just using.
Oh by the love your roms

well, start by setting up either a linux partition, or install cygwin (you need the custom one in the dsixda kitchen thread) and setting up your kitchen, but for the most par, just make sure you are trying to port a non-sense rom with a sense base, or vise-versa
Also, always replace /system/usr and /system/bin/akmd
but you will figure out what else on your own

Dont know if this will help or not. You may or may not be aware of it. I checked out the thread a little, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445517 and development has been suspended. Apparently there were some problems with wifi and cell service on the latest version 3.0 from the little bit I read there. I did notice a few people saying that v2.0.1 was working pretty good for them though.
It also appears that they had it working for the Legend in v2.0.1 so that could be the easiest port if you do decide to tackle it. (The Legend is nearly identical to our Espresso if I am remembering correctly)
v3.0 was available for the Wildfire and the Salsa, and since we have a working port of Salsa, that may help as well (for either the 3.0 or 2.0.1).
Sorry I can't be much more help than this right now. Hopefully this can help give you some ideas.
Note: the download links do not work at all, but i did find them all here.

Thank you for your support and advice.
That is a very good starting point. Once the weekend gets here I will try to get started.
One more question what are the minimum requirements for a PC, I have 4 gigs of ram two hard drives one with 250 gb the other with 1 tb and a pentium core duo processor I think. (Not sure on the processor, been a while since I looked)

I would say that should be plenty. I have not yet attempted compiling or porting myself but i use a much weaker machine for a lot of my android stuff and it has been pretty good for the mods and such ive been working on. Search google or xda for android development min requirements and you should find some info on recommended specs for what u want to do.

one more thing I tried to plug my mt3gs to my pc but neither my wife's laptop or my desktop wont recognize my phone neither htc sync or as a mass storage device, as I am going to start my little project on saturday. So just want to know if there is a solution for this? Can someone please help me your help is very very appreciated.
Have u tried a different cable? Does the phone start charging when u plug it into the PC? if u just want to transfer files u can try an app like SwiFTP from the market. I believe there are also ways to run adb over wifi, but ive never looked into it so not totally sure bout that. Did u check to make sure in settings that its not set to Charge Only?

This all started to happen with the original cord that came with the phone but I will try different cords just too see if I can get it to work. And if not I will look in to that adb through wifi thing, but most likely if a different cord works I will still research that whole process. I thank you for your help and advice. :thumbup:

Hey guys,
I'm wondering if any of you can help me out. I have a HTC Wildfire S but I'm getting quite fed up with always running out space and not being able to move some of the preinstalled things to my SD card. So... I read up a little and believe I need to root it to gain admin so I can start moving things around. To do that I need to turn S-off(?) but the problem i'm having is HTCDev don't seem to be emailing me whatever I'm supposed to get after pasting my identifier code. Is there anyway to get it S-off without the identifier thingy?
Thanks.

If you follow instructions from HTC DEV it will make your phone S-ON...To do S- OFF you need XTC clip...So you can try couple of more times pasting the identifier token or try using xtc clip...If nothing works try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131264

Try Jelly King if you want a taste of jelly bean. If you want ICS, CM9.1 Alpha 9. If you want sense based ROMs, I would recommend wildchild or crossfire 77's modified stock ROMs if you want the default looks.

If im totally honest I have no idea the differences between them, I was told try CM9.1/CM10, I checked out their wiki, seems pretty good but doesnt actually say if it supports Wildfire S or not, then I found out theres like 3 types of wildfire S. Also I read about some bugs in the video/camera for CM, dunno how dated the posts where though or if they are fixed now.
I assume Sense based roms are based on Htc Sense?
Forgive the n00bness but I am but a humble n00b, research, trial and error all the way.

CM9.1 has the infamous camcorder bug. CM10 has working camera, but the video records at a very low frame rate. Yes, sense based ROMs are based on HTC sense. In Wildchild, sense stuff is stripped out, only essential files are kept. It makes the phone faster.
N00bness, well, even I was once that way. But I have to appreciate the fact that you are at least researching. People just blindly come and ask questions to which answers are literally one search away.
If you have any more doubts, feel free to ask again and use my help thread in the Q&A section.

Loss of camcorder... I dunno man, what happens if the Mrs wants to make some *home movies* ahem.
Wildchild sounds good then. Basically my issue was the lack of space, which I fixed last night with the something2sd app (forgot first part of the name), which also sorted out problem of getting rid of rubbish like twatter and friend stream. Right now i'm not really after anything life changing, stripping it down to the bare essentials and being able to put a few apps on would be great, overall speed improvement and battery life would be awesome as im sick of charging it all the time but I dont want it at the cost of other things not working. Oh and being able to do themes would be really nerdy but cool. Any suggestions?
I actually quite enjoy the research side of things, I like understanding things, granted im not the most technically minded but I can figure out the basics... sometimes.

If you want themes on Wildchild, its pretty much DIY. Visit uot kitchen and make it yourself. And if you want the personalize option to work in Settings, you need to flash the stock Rosie. Its in addons section.
Or you could use CM7.2, based on GB, everything works except USB tethering (which I forgot to mention is a known bug on all CM Roms). Themes are widely spread on play store, xda, and a bunch of other sites. If tethering isn't of concern, you can go for CM7.

After a quick googling I found out usb tethering is using your phone as a modem, not something Ive ever used or ever plan to use, so that puts me smack bang in the middle of wildchild and cm7.2. Any other pros and cons?

That's pretty much it.
Cm7 looks kinda bad, so I would recommend either LunarUI or MattedBlues. Top themes and I've tried out both.
If you like blue, you're gonna like Wildchild. But if you can't handle everything blue, cm7 is for you.
Good luck, and ask away if you still have doubts.

Crunch time, so much pressure. So it's safe to assume both are pretty similar and do the same things, both are better than what I have now and both are simple to customize?
