Here is the question is there anyway to get the options you get when you plugin via sense rom on a visionary rom cause im not very fond of sense, seems to take too long to load up the screen even with OC and half of the ones I do try and semi am able to deal with the Load Up Screen the HTC does not work so I just go back to visionary roms that and I dont think I have seen a decent sense working on gingerbread os. Main few reasons I like the USB thing is the ability to use PC's internet connection instead of Wi-Fi.
Someone can delete this didnt realize they were gonna move my post that I posted in wrong spot.

i down loaded the project android rebuild installed the cab file to the cars and installed to card. then their was a net file error so i downloaded the one they suggested from their site. no i saw some one say it requires rode400 as the phone of choice it will start up in. in advanced settings i have n America dial cdma and over clock as 768. seems like it load really fast then after about 3 mins it slows down to a stop..... did i do something wrong i mean others have loaded same program as me and their able to use the phone but i cant seem to get it to even load.... will it take up to 10mins to load? or should it lad pretty fast?
loaded it the dual boot the startup utility and the android project ProjectAndroid2.2Froyo.112210 all from the project android site... did i go wrong somewere?
and also when ever i restart my phone for what ever reason will it always take better then 10 mins for it to boot into android?
10 mins should be about the max you'd need to wait for a boot time - if it's longer, you're in a bootloop... soft reset with the pin under the battery cover, or just pull the battery.
With that said, don't overclock and make sure you're completely updated.
well i went to bed and left it in boot mode woke up it was in android mode.. recieve calls and txt but no access to the internet so i couldnt even log into goggle or anything... and its taking forever to load. and dual boot isnt even working just gives me the option for windows mobile.... thank you
so saying i am gonna modify the start up log to what viper posted in another section see if that works..
see below...
well tried the boot up viper posted.. but it just takes for freakin ever..... any one know how to seed this up please?

Initial boot takes a while. If this is honestly stopping you, then don't use Android. It's not meant to replace WinMo at this stage, so if you're expecting it to.... you're going to be disappointed.
Just stick to WinMo.
i dont know what to expect every totorial and person is telling me it should take no more then 10 mins....
well i put in a new bigger card and re loaded the android files to it.. the first time loaded in about 6 mins or so second time booted to android about 1 min... seems so far all features work. but now its cutting out and restarting the phone usally happens as i access a program like push to talk that was downloaded form the market. Is their a flaw some were that i can find that does this?
are you running the latest kernel and rootfs? sometimes it takes me 2 or 3 reboots after a fresh install for xdandroid to be stable for me. if it doesnt straiten up after a couple of reboots then try doing a full format with this software 3dub.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool.shtml i believe its what many have suggested using (a correction is welcome). then reinstall xdandroid and update the kernel AND rootfs to the latest 3dub://sites.google.com/site/androidport/project-tracking (the 3dubs are www of course, wont let me link to outside site till i post a little more lol)
hay thank you.. coulpe of issues.. i am not recieveing picture messages and its dropping the internet(3g) connection wich makes me have to reboot to android.. not worried about wifi as i never use it. also their is no back light on the slide out board or the answer call buttons and such..... also i need caller id. i get number but nothing else not like cityid on the uscc network that tells me city and state..

mms has never worked for me, ive tried playing around with some apn settings i found but never got anything out of it except maybe a broken internet connection lol. i just have my wife email them to my gmail account which she can do through mms, she just types my email instead of my phone number... it works. i had the internet dropping out problem a couple of months back with one of the kernels then but havent had the problem since. the keyboard backlight and front key backlight hasnt been implimented yet, there is a workaround by making sure the lights are on when you boot android but then the backlights stay on the entire time. i have no idea how bad that effects battery life though. as far as caller id i assume your basically just talking about for numbers outside your contacts list lol. i know uscc has city id for android as it came preinstalled on my wifes acclaim. if you can get it on the market or internet i have no idea. hopefully somebody else knows of a nifty program available on the market that does basically the same thing and will chime in. in any event you might try the 20101124_215731 kernel it was very stable for me and could fix your internet problem. i would suggest deleting your data.img file in the andboot folder when you replace your kernel it can cause problems ;-) be warned though it will create a fresh data.img file on first boot (which is one reason first boot takes longer then the rest) and youll have to set everything up and redownload your market programs again.
thanks for the reply.. i did install the kernels you suggested and then for ****s and giggles i installed the wifi kernels too. for some reason it droped a call and rebooted then went to restart again and its taking for ever...i turned on over clocking so i am gonna turn that off. not even sure what its used for.. oh and the kernel you suggested in your last post do you have a link to it please? thanks
added the previous ximage files you sugested earlier but some reason it complety crashed it and had to start over.... so re loaded blazin added gen y dual boost and the .net i needed.... just starting all over again.. i hope it runs better this time around.... i guess the id feature isnt all that important but i hope at sometime soon they get the board light working again..
i did update like you said on the other page but i didnt reload i only replaced files... if i am gonna upate the zimage and such should i reload the program then update with the kernels and such then reboot?

This issue has been resolved in FRX03, by disabling JIT. Be careful of the build.prop files floating around the 3d testing thread, they re-enabled JIT - and that bug along with it.
As we all know the stock ROM that verizon pushes to our phone has a new annoying feature. When u connect the phone to the PC it makes a virtual CDROM drive. Ever since that got created on my phone it has caused me nothing but headaches. Namely that it causes my optical (DVDRW) drive tray to cycle open and closed. I thought that once I rooted my phone and installed a custom ROM that would go away. Sadly this is not the case. how do I get my phone to stop creating this virtual drive? Im assuming there is something in the ROM that can be changed to stop this. Now I know there is usually a CDROM.ISO file that exists in the stock HTC ROM and if u remove/rename that the drive wont show up in My Computer. My question is why does the HTC Android Phone USB device still appear on my system? Is there a way to prevent my phone from doing this? I am really tired of having my drive tray open and close for hours on end. I have taken to disabling the DVDRW in the device manager to get it to stop. I want to avoid doing that. Please help.
Nobody has any ideas??
Well I have some news. After I posted here on a whim I decided to send a support email to HTC. And they responded with some nifty instructions.
1. dial ##7764726
2. hit call
3. Type password 000000 (thats 6 zeros)
4. hit feature settings
5. choose cdrom
6. click disable
7. hit menu then commit modifications (it will say no item changed)
I tried the above instructions but I did not get any password box. It actually called the number. Maybe this only works if you are on the stock ROM? Anybody have any ideas about this?
The tip that they gave you won't stop it from showing up as a CD-ROM Drive. All that does it prevents that prompt for VZW driver installation. Any ROM based on the stock ROM (Virtuous, Skyraider, Redemption, etc.) will have this CD-ROM drive show up, though most of those ROMs have the driver issue disabled by default.
Switching to an AOSP ROM (like Cyanogen(mod)) will get rid of it.
I tried the HTC tip from within the stock rom and it does show up.
Why is it that this was never removed from any of the roms based on the stock rom?
I have tried Cyanogenmod and it restarts on me at the wierdest times.I can not even be doing anything with it. And poof it will restart. Dunno why either.
Rooted, yes? SwiFTP from market, no USB cable necessary.

Yes its rooted. Thats how i got cyanogenmod flashed enuf to know its restarting for no reason. Seeing as my 2yo lost the wall charger adaptor somewhere in the house its the only way I have of charging my phone. its also how I put my audio books and music on my phone. The amount of data moving across is more than what a wireless connection should transfer. Its alot faster with a direct connection. Besides, Doubletwist airsync is not worth the money.

CM6 or CM7? CM6 is stable. Minor bugs, but reboots shouldn't be noticeably more than stock. On stock, I'd get maybe one reboot per week. On CM6, about the same.
CM7 is considered in an alpha state right now. It's going through nightly builds. Each build adds a feature or two, and then the next build is meant to add in another feature or two, while fixing bugs that came up from the last build's feature introduction. We may not see a release candidate for at least another month due to the fact that their remaining feature list to be implemented is still rather long.
Bottom line is, if you're slamming CM7 for stability, well, that's to be expected. It's not even officially in beta yet. The sad thing is, it's more stable than all but the grade-A ROMs out there today.
No CM7 for me. I live and breath with my phone to use something that is still being developed. I had flashed the following flavors of ROM:
Incredibly Re-Engineered rebooted 4 times in a matter of 8 hours.
Cyanogenmod 6 stable rebooted twice in the same time period.
I flashed nothing else to the phone except the radio which is 2.15.00.11.19. I did the radio b4 I even got around to flashing the rom and never had a single issue with it. Wanted to make sure nothing was gonna go south b4 moving on. Had the radio flashed for over a week and never had to restart my phone once. Im just trying to find something other than the stock rom.
I like the cyanogen rom cause it has the vanilla interface. Thats the first thing I flashed. Only part I didnt like about it was the camera interface. Felt like I had less control over settings. Also there are no ability to do wide screen pics from what I have been able to figure out. i like that ability. Hence the switch to the Reingineered. Was happy with it for the most part. Felt snappier than the stock interface only had a problem hitting the button for the phone cause it was so blasted small on the screen. Kept fat fingering the home and menu buttons below the screen. I want something stable and doesnt lose any of the features I have on the stock rom. I know thats asking alot but one can hope.
UD?
Maybe try UltimateDroid v 2.5?
Lots of features you describe - I run it w/ InvisibleK's #18 kernel, haven't been happier.
Plus, no annoying popups when connecting USB
I do know that Skyraider sense 3.5 has the CD-ROM feature removed. That rom is based off of sense if you like that kind of stuff( I know I do)
So basically all that will show up in device manager (if you have Skyraider rom) will be the mass storage device(s): SD and internal. No cd-rom device detected from phone. If I remember correctly, I think the developer created a script that removed that from his rom.
Ill give it a whirl
Ok, I am sorry if this has been beaten to death but I could not find my answer in the search.
I was hoping to get back my 3rd party wifi tether by rooting my g-nex. I was good at doing that on my droid x, but there seem to be so many different ways and different opinions.
I thought using this link and root toolkit 1.1 would give me back my wifi:
http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57352473-285/how-to-easily-root-your-galaxy-nexus/
I figure c-net has never lead me astray before. So I download and unlock my bootloader, make a back-up of my apps, root, restore my apps and.......nothing.
I tried 1-click tether, and it shows that it is send signal...nothing
open garden say it opens, but with error's
Barnacle wifi tether- NAT: could not set MTU of rmnet1: Invalid
WIFI: Failed to connect to supplicant: no such file
or directory
Stopped unexpectedly!
Why all the detail? I am not sure that by restoring the apps I did something to the root.
Also, if this was not a good choice of root; is there one that is that easy and better?
I am not a big mod guy, I just think its BS that verizion wants to charge double and as long as I can I will not stand for it. I have no problem paying for apps, or donating to programers. So please no bashing me for something that should be free.

The top one is in a constant state of development and you are guaranteed no support.
The bottom two are USB tether options and don't require root.
There are more out there, but I know that these three work.
Note: I'm having speed issues with these, but I think it's something to do with my phone in particular...
Ok, firstly I apologize if these have been covered before but I need help with a few issues with my galaxy note 2 that Ive sure you guys have noticed as well. Im no expert but I have had android phones for a few years so I do know the basics. Im thinking it might be time to root/rom or whatever my phone because I think the issues I am having are bugs in the software though I have never attempted such a feat, havent really had a reason to until now. I absolutely love this phones, its super awesome, one of the best ive had but there are a few nagging issues I have that Im not sure if its just me or the software, usually Im pretty good with tech stuff. Have a samsung galaxy note 2 on att network android version 4.1.2 and ive searched around a little and best I can tell the newer version i have has changed some menu options which I cannot find and caused or not fixed some of my other issues.
1. I am unable to adjust the locations of the options on the screen when you pull it down from the top such as wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode and whatnot. Near as I can tell it was possible to organize them in the order you wanted before the update that added multiscreen support and it seems multiscreen support options under settings has taken place of the setting to adjust these icons and I cannot find anywhere to change them. Have you guys noticed this? how is it possible to change them or are they stuck now?
2. The media player auto playing when connecting to my bluetooth sync system in my ford F150 is kinda neat but highly annoying as it auto starts the player when it connects whether I want it to or not, and usually I do not because I rarely use my phone to play audio via bluetooth and when i do its through my Sirius XM app or pandora or some other media player and its highly annoying having to end the default media player and start play on my preferred app every time I shut off and restart my truck, or disconnect and reconnect bluetooth if you prefer. Is there a way to get this default app to NOT auto start playing every time it connects to bluetooth? I have been unable to find such an option and its getting on my nerves and draining my battery when I dont even want it on, GRRR!!
3. Pretty sure this one is a software bug/change but every android phone Ive ever had auto sets a 15 minute time reminder when I enter a calendar entry, which Ive gotten used to and is awesome as far as im concerned because an entry without a reminder is worthless. I have to turn on a reminder manually every time and have not been able to find any setting to change to revert this back to the normal experience that im used to on my at least 4 previous android phones. I have gotten used to manually turning it on now but its still annoying and i would like to be able to skip this step to save time as I use the calendar reminder features daily.
Thats all i can think of for right now, but im sure theres some I forgot. Hoping some of you experts can hook me up with some easy fixes to these issues or point me in the right direction of how to resolve them if possible, thanks a million!
Whew!!
One hell of a post there ...
An easy solution to the majority of your device issues would be...
Flashing back to the factory shipping rom...
It is pushed to the device via Odin.
I believe the rom is UCALJ2...
In the development section, under the "everything" thread, you will find the rom listed above.
There you will also find Odin, its PC drivers, and instructions to restore the device to pure stock.
The recent updates to the device will be removed, and following the Odin flash, the device will be pure stock and have no personal data...(fair warning)
From that point, to prevent the updates from appearing again, the update application must be frozen by using titanium backup or an app capable of rendering the update application null.
This process must be done with care ...and not before you understand what you are doing.
The steps in those threads are complete, but you must learn them first.
Happy reading and learning ....and happy flashing ....g
Your right. ..time to root it and add a custom rom. The new Jedi is awesome. . (shameless plug. ...lol)

Hello, my device is an HTC ONE M8, S-on, Rooted, TWRM recovery. I have tried a dozen different roms and ways to boot my phone and i absolutely am baffled and confused why my speed is lacking. Every single ROM i try i get from 8mbps to 36mbps. Before i rooted my device i was getting over 250mbps(I pay for 350). I have tried all kinds of things and am about to entirely give up on my device being mine, slapping the shackles back on her, and dragging her through the dirt of... STOCK. Anyways, jokes aside i really need help with fixing this issue alongside every ROM i did try had some kind of bugs here or there. One i was very very fond of was teh SLIM Rom. Tried versions 6.0 and 4.4.4 6.0 was great but it lagged(another issue, dont know why all android 6.0 versions lag on my phone, yes im making sure ROMS are device compatible). 4.4.4 i love but every time i factory reset with TWRM and reinstall it has a new problem and the previous is gone. first it was calendar crashing on boot, then it was wifi not even turning on. I'm getting off topic of course as this issue is better suited directed towards the developers of that ROM. My issue is that no matter what ROM i use for 6.0 i get wifi speeds absolutely horrible compared to what i use to get and the phone will lag and drain battery super super fast on 6.0 even using ROMS that claim their 6.0 saves more battery than standard. Currently i have no ROM installed and just TWRM. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
To add real details::: The wifi is considerably slower than i use to get after rooting and installing custom ROMS. My wifi also on many roms i tried will refuse to connect to my router on my desk. i have a 5.0 and 2.4 band router. If i tried connecting to the say 2.4 after trying 5.0 in the list it'd anounce 5.0 was disabled and not even connect to 2.4 and vice versa. Also as a side note whenever i try android 6.0 ROMS my device screams to a hault in speed even when ROM devs claim it's faster to use their ROM than the default provided by HTC. not to mention serious battery drain.
If you need information list it, if you have recomendations or questions please state them.
*Edit: Here's a photo, i managed to get into the files of my phone. They all start out with the blue icon but every time i refresh it "fixes" some of them. also the downloads folder is empty and when i try to add files it says my phone isnt responding. Debugging is on.
*Also a bit of random info on a hail mary. My computer slows down a ton and the file explorer crashes upon opening when my phone is plugged in via USB. If my phone is plugged in the file manager locks up. If i try to "force" open a file in my phone it blue screens my computer. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. My ps is sabertooth r2.0 990fx, 8350 cpu, r9 290, 1,300w psu, 16GB dual channel RAM.
