Alright idk if this is allowed or not... (if not please lock/delete)
I am currently using phenox 2. but seems to lag sometimes
I am looking for a rom which is best for me. I text ALOT (using hard keyboard and soft keyboard) the soft keyboard i want to use T9 (phone keypad) but it doesnt work on phenox 2 thats why im looking for a different rom. I use it to make phone calls, surf the web, check emails, calender to keep track of my stuff... <<< these are the main things i do every day. so im looking for a ROM which best fits my needs and want to see what everyones opinion is...
I would also like to adjust the vibrate because it vibrates for too long right now which is loud on when its on the table (so i have to always put it on silent)...
I like the fact my weather/calender events is on the main today screen...
so reading from what i like to do with my phone, what is everyones opinion on which ROM would work the best for me?
thanks
Honestly... You and about a hundred others have asked various questions about ROMs. You will not get a real answer here about what you have asked. If you dont have time to test the ROMs... stick with the stock ROM. I use the stock 6.1 ROM and Im very happy with it. I tried 6.5 and hated it.
Im not trying to be a jerk about it... sorry if it comes off that way, but I would hate for you to waste time being hopeful that someone will help with ROM selection.
yeah i know what you mean... I'm actually thinking about maybe going back to 6.1... but maybe a custom 6.1 rom.
know where i can find the stock t-mo 6.1 rom?

thanks, but the only problem with 6.1 is that it didnt have weather displayed on home screen...
To OP: only u can decide which ROM suits u best. thread closed.
I installed the new Tilt 2 ROM 5.2.21887 (Aug 30/2010) I HATE IT
I'm a nuvee about ROMs.
I have this file HTCTilt2ATTOriginalShipROM.exe can I *just* run it like I did with the new ROM to go back to the orinal shipped ROM?
I called HTC they said NO. Idon't believe them.
if im right you can install ANY rom after you used HardSPL:
check the sticked topic in this part of the forum (cant post link as a new user)
yes. you will be able to.

You don't need to HardSPL to flash an official ROM (for your specific carrier). The original shipped ROM will flash fine.

Thanks to redpoint73 and all of you guys at XDA.
My only hesitation is becasue de guy at HTC said NO!. (What does he know!)
Summary:
I had original tllt2 ROM.
I just ran the new Updated ROM. no HardSPL (I don't even know what's that)
I don't like the new ROM (only good thing is Videos run smoother)
I had the original ROM file .
Question: RUNning this file is the same as Flashing? (Sorry I'm really noobie)

Fortunatelly I have a file HTCTilt2ATTOriginalShipROM.exe I don't remember how I got it (maybe HTC) but I'm sure is the original.
The only question is that the original ROM was about 8/09 and I believe it was a fix patch on 12/09. I bought my Tilt2 on 4/10 so I don't know if I have to install the patch plus I don't know what kind of patch it was.
Thanks for your help.

yeh the original had some hotfixes, and yes since u flashed it u need to reinstall them. ill attach. i think thats what ur sayin.? there are 2 of them i rared them, if u need em zipped let me know. just unrar them, put em on ur phone, them run them with file explorer. one is for sms and the other is for callerid
Just curious, what didn't you like about the new ROM? I DLd id today and was thinking about installing it. I've had an issue lately where the time gets thrown off, doesn't seem to sunc properly, and I thought this new ROM might address that issue.

Read the oter posts about the new tilt 2 rom.. there is a couple things that suck. I dont like that it dont have the mini task mannager at the top right where it tells u how much memory is free and beable to close app without haven to open the task manager. It dont have arc messaging client, it has HTC message client, and i dont like how it runs, its really slow. the rom itself is fast, it dont show notifications on the home screen , u have to click on the top taskbar to see if u have a missed call and what ever, also the first thing u need to do is install .net 3.0 before u don anything then u need to do a registry edit to get .net to work right.. There is some other things i dont like about it, thats y im not usen it.. wildchild has made a nice update of this new rom, that fixed alot of things that werent right.. but read the form here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737168 then ull get a better view on this about this rom, whether u want it or not. But the best way to deside if u like it or not is to flash it and try it. Make sure u have the original rom just incase u dont like it. If u dont i have a copy and could upload to hotfile or somethin

1-Besides the above items let me add that the deal breaker for me was they reduced the text input keyboard from 6 or 7 to just 3. No more letter recognition, or handwriting or my preferred method, block recognition. I know is not popular, but I love it becuse it's almost impossible to mistype, it the faster way for me, I use my finger or the stylus and the big plus is it doesn't cover the screen! and I don't even have to look at the screen! The current keyboard covers more than half of the scree and in landscape mode it cover almost all the scree, just one line visible at the top. But the worst thing is that even if I am using the hardware keyboaard it pops over and over again.
2- HTCalbum.exe is just useless. in the Photo and Video tab, if I press "album" to change the albums or to see the grid, it opens the grid view for 1 or 2 seconds and returns to swipe view. If I'm quick enough to press the album key it shows the list of albums but it freezes for a while and returns back again to the swipe mode. The I get an error message from Microsoft with a link to report the error when I press the it asks for Wifi connection. And even if I exit the error message keeps poping up
Internet is definitely slower.
I couldn't find a way to add programs to the WM6 Star menu icons and Sense only allows 9.
How you can see the list of ALL PROGRAMS??
On the good side FM reception is a lot better
The one thing that is noticible better is that finally the the video play is very smooth (sigh) I'm going to miss that because I moving back to the original ROM.

try wildchild rom, its an upgrade from this rom, and alot of probs he has fixed, its a really nice rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738179&highlight=upgrade
Thanks guys, I'll hang on to what I've got for now and look into the wildchild rom...
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 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.
Ok guys, I am new to any android evelopment but i now have some time on my hand before starting a job developing embedded linux sytems.
So im sure many people are aware of blubbers menu button mod to remove the ics menu buttons.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582506
basically ,me included, alot of other people want different combinations of the keys.
For example
Back: SP->Back
LP->Kill App
Home:SP->Home
LP->RecApps
RecApps: SP->Search
LP->Menu
with the introduction of aroma installer it allows different configurations.
So with the help of the rest of the community i would like to create a mod which allows users to select different cimbinations of short press and long press functions for each of the three buttons. Also add an option to disable the ics menu button if desired.
Anyone that can five me a help to get staryed on this, it owuld be appreciated.

cheers man i do remember reading you saying that a while back. However 'no offense' I do not want to install your rom. I would like to be able to have a mod that could allow this functionality on ANY rom.
however i might actually giver your rom a go. im on ARHD 4.0 (been busy with university recently to notice any uypdates) and your rom certainly seems alot better since i last looked at it.

doesnt hurt to try it out...you wont regret it!....and if restore your backup (-;
It'll be awesome to have a stand alone mod to do this, so we can use it with any rom, even stock rooted ones...
j4n87 in your experience do you think it's possible to do this? or the only way is cooking the mod in a ROM like yours?

...sure, would be possible. But within my Rom and with my tweaks they are fully reconfigurable....you can choose between HTC speak, recent apps or any.custom app..and for the back button also to close an app.

I really do appreciate the initiative, and just like you, I do like the rom I am running (CM9 alpha 4) but would love to be able to customise the hardware buttons as I please...
Overall, a mod would allow more flexibility to users...

Subject: Problem w/(4G?)-HotSpot hack on "WILD FOR THE NIGHT" CM10.1-20130316-d710 (base-band version EK02)
So, I was recently *given* a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" (p3113, WiFi only) by a buddy of mine, for helping him out with some significant things in real life. I know right? Very cool of my buddy. I'm in love with the tablet still (honeymoon period). It's not brand-new, but its new to me, so of course the first thing I did was root it, wipe it clean, and install unofficial a CM10.2 nightly build w/working IR from 080913. I'm staying on 080913 build since it's the latest build that supports TabletUI.zip, via Nova Launcher, which I also love by the way. Anyway, this tablet is the PERFECT compliment to my Sprint E4GT "Spider-Man Edition" (cracked screen, long story)
So, this recent tablet acquisition has given me reason to use the hotspot built into CM10.1, on my phone, under "Settings|More|Tethering & Portable Hotspot|Portable WiFi HotSpot. I had assumed up to this point that CM10.1 on my phone had the 4G hotspot hack pre-installed, but alas, when I use it to tether my tablet to get internet access on the tablet, only 3G mobile data appears to be working.
What gives with this? It'd been a while since I've been keeping up with the E4GT ROM/hack scene, so is there some hack zip that I need to install in order to take advantage of tethering and 4G on this ROM? Thanks will be given in multitude for any assistance. Thanks.

Here is the link.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375899&page=4 .... Post 34.. Hope this helped..
Edit... finally found out who made this app... TrevE....so thank him if it works for you
This appears to work as you said!! (Thanks given to your reply)
I configured the first option in the settings menu of this app for "Sprint Epic 4G Touch, and also enabled "Access Control" (whatever that means, care to explain that for me?) and, low-and-behold, turning on 4G is no longer ignored by this new hotspot app, like it is by the stock CM10.1 hotspot app. SpeedTest.Net confirms that 4G is actually in use. The differences in speed between 3G and 4G are only marginal at best in many locations, but that is on Sprint's crappy WiMax 4G implementation, and not the fault of the hotspot app you linked me to. With the SpeedTest.Net app, I'm getting about 0.8Mb/s average download speed while sitting at my desk in my office (indoors), when only 3G is enabled on the phone. but I'm getting about 1.7Mb/s when using this newly-suggested hotspot app with 4G enabled on the phone. So clearly it's working, and that that extra 1Mb/s (or sometimes slightly more) can be the difference between smooth video playback on YouTube (or whatever video app), versus frequent pausing for buffering when watching a video link sent by a friend to my phone. It's also makes Google Maps and Google Navigation much faster AND more responsive when I'm on the interstate, where the 4G coverage is generally pretty good here in the DFW area. SO, I'll kjeep you posted if I run across any major bugs,m but this suggestion appears to allow to now tether by tablet to my phone with actual 4G WiMax. Thank you SO much for your suggestions and links!

Thanks for the kind words... Being able to help someone out is the part I most enjoy about this site.. You can let me know about any issues you have , but just to make sure you know.. This isn't my app.. Just found a drop box link while looking for myself and others and it worked. I'm still not sure who made it..lol. It might say in the app, but I'm not currently using it as I'm on projectX ROM and its tether works great..
Hey there... thanks for the follow-up. Still working like a champ bro, AND it does something else that the stock tethering app doesn't do: it allows the ability to only allow "Approved devices" (by MAC address) to connect, in addition to (or I think even instead of) setting a WPA2 password. It even shows you in the phone's notification bar which approved devices are currently connected, and plays a custom notification sound when an unapproved device attempts to connect. Combine that with a home screen widget for 1-touch toggling, and the MacroDroid app set up to automatically turn on data and 4G when the tether app is turned on, and this is now officially the coolest thing on my phone. I know you didn't create it (nor did you ever claim to), but you did link me to an app that ended up exceeding my wildest expectations. THANK YOU BROTHER.

Thanks for that help! I configured it according to the link you posted but to no avail. It says it's running but I can't find the SSID when trying to connect another computer to it. I also don't see the icon on the top of my screen indicating that I'm connected to 3g. Is this app only for 4g?

No... it will work with 3g too.... try playing with the settings... remember, those settings of mine where for an aosp rom (slimbean)...
Also... if you decide you don't like it or can't get it to work... after you delete the app... boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. This will get rid of the binaries installed by the app.

Thanks for all the help! Last night I changed the setup method to Softap for Samsung (master) and actually got the 3g icon to show and I thought it was going to work but I could not find the SSID and there were also errors recorded in the log. I'm at work now in an all metal building and can't get a signal but I will try again and report back. Thanks again!
Oh, and we're sure this setup, if I get it to work, is totally unknown to Virgin? I would hate them to boot me for doing this. (oh, and how ridiculous is it to charge for data that I'm already paying for!?!?) One reason I got the S2 from Virgin online is because it stated wifi tethering as a feature. Nowhere did it say I had to pay for this feature. But that's another story.

You should be safe from virgin knowing... atleast I've never been caught by sprint or boost..
As for the error's... I always had error's on my setup.. but it worked.. keep trying, I know there is a setup to get ya going...
If you end up not getting it to work.... you could try an app from the playstore... or as a last resort you could flash a custom rom based on tw.. the tw roms have working 4g hacked hotspots.. you would need to change you're apns once you have the new rom flashed so you have data.. no biggy there..

I can't get this or any tethering app to work. I've tried modding my build.prop file with the .tether.denied=false item as well - to no avail. I think it's because I'm on IceCream Sandwich??? Anyway, I'm rooted, stock ROM and all I want to do is enable wireless tethering. I really feel no need or desire to install a custom Rom. So, can I do it somehow? I am on the Epic 4G Touch forum, someone has to know.
Also, you mentioned clearing my delvik cache and something else but I have no idea how to do it. I tried installing clockwork mod but I could find no option for the Epic 4G Touch. There was an option to create a backup for the Epic 4G but not the touch. I figured at least if I did this I'd have the option of clearing the cache.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again.

I see you said that you ( tried ) installing clockwork mod.. so I'm assuming you tried it with Rom Manager... I will say this once.. Do Not Use That To Install Recoveries on this device.. you will end up with a brick...
We have to use Odin,mobile Odin and there is a couple other ways ( involving a terminal emulator ) to install recoveries on this device.. You see.. our kernel's and recoveries are tied together.. So to install a custom recovery, we have to flash/install a custom kernel..
Let me ask you this.. how did you root and what superuser app are you using..

Yeah, I tried installing it with Rom Manager, I can go ahead and uninstall it then. I rooted using some solution I found online and honestly I don't remember what it was but it was very simple. I am using Superuser 3.1.3 (46). Was that what you were asking??
I really would hate to be one of those people who hasn't done their homework and then expects everyone else to answer their questions - I hate those people. I succesfully installed CM10 to my HP Touchpad so I feel pretty good being able to at least accomplish that feat.
Thanks for your help. Hey I guess if I make a successful backup of how my phone is now, I can play with other roms. Maybe this is the jumping in point for me right here. Thanks!
Now to figure out these damned captcha codes!

Ya.. this could be the start of you loving you're phone again.. :fingers-crossed:
I always suggest new people to read up before doing anything...
Also.. I suggest starting out with the touchwiz roms.. they will be more familiar to new users as well as a little easier to trouble shoot.. I believe..
They also have the better data speeds and the 4g hotspots hack..
Just read up.. if you need any help.. I'm always around.. but first things first.. read up on custom recoveries... once you have one installed with a kernel that will work for you're stock rom you can make a backup... you could make one with another custom recovery/kernel combo, but let's just keep it simple for now.
In rwilco's repo you can find just about anything you need... modems( read about ),kernel/recoveries, and many other things. Just remember and read about the emmc brick bug in ICS..
Being as you are new and not on JB.. a one-click for Odin on windows will be our first step if you choose to proceed. From there you can flash just about anything you want... I can link you to a little guide I put together for a really easy way to flash/install new roms, kernels/recoveries.
Let me know what ya think...

Thank you for the quick reply. I'll certainly take any info you give me. Like I said, I don't want all the answers, just a point in the right direction and ideas.

Start reading the stickies in the Android development section.. a very good starting point..
Also.. don't worry about asking questions.. we all start out as noobs.. lol. But you have the right attitude..plus.. when you find the answers yourself, I always think they stick better and you also get that feeling of accomplishment. You'll make a good member here with the way you are looking at it... but I also know that when you come to that first flash... it can be nerve racking.. So if you get stuck or not sure where to head.. just hit me up.. Good Luck..

Okay thanks. I'm still thinking about all of this. I'm thinking I'm not committed enough to do it right now and it may be a case of the cure being worse than the disease. I mean all I really want to do is make wifi tethering work. I'm afraid I don't have the time necessary to tinker with all of this esp since I am very happy with my Android user experience so far with this phone.
Besides the tethering fix, what other benefits would there be to installing a custom rom. Or... what would make a custom rom better than Jellybean? Is installing a custom rom the only way I can backup my current system?
Thanks again though for all of your help.

For me.. it's about customization.. Being able to change my status bar( color, transparency, icon, clock position, )..and many other things..
Also... I find that the custom roms are smoother than stock roms...
As for backing up you're system... you can backup you're data on a pc/mac...but if you're wanting to do full system backup's....I think rooting and a custom recovery are the only way to go.. ( but I'm not positive , as I've never looked into it.. )
