heres the best kept secret on learning about the android project.... its called the SEARCH FUNCTION. use it. use it flagrantly and without hesitation.
it is a newbi's best friend as well
You most likely won't get an answer here bro. First thing to do is what phone do you have? Go to androidspin.com or the unlockr to see video on how to root. Its pretty easy just follow instr. To the T. After you have root go to the most frequently asked section or the "read this before you start a thread" section and you can find all your answers there. Good luck. We were all noobs once

"its called I asked for opinions not facts". I don't want just specs and features listed. I want to know what people think is the most stable and reliable because in the end we are the ones using it. I appreciate the response anyway.
I think people are forgetting what forums are for. To discuss. If u don't wanna talk about the topic don't post move on im sure u have better things to do. I believe there are more people like me who want to get into this android development but are scared to ask questions because they are shot down by know-it-alls. Feel free to post here I have plenty of questions and I know on xda u guys got plenty of answers.

the thing is there are numerous posts about the same thing and they take up space. if you look around before asking a question, youll usually find your answer on a bunch of other posts.
so as you can see, there are numerous previous conversations about the same thing, it gets redundant. and "whats the best.." is a horrible question because they are open to user opinion. you actually have to either try them all or actually read the specs
Sorry but I'm not too familiar with wm 6.5. Android was however ported to the hd2 which runs 6.5 with cyanogen mod and I hear it runs virtually flawless. I would do a search for tilt 2 and I'm sure you will find what you're looking for.

You should find what you're looking for on you tube. Or google android ported to tilt 2. Was just there and you should find it and decide which is best for you. Good luck and great decision to go android.

Just go to the first post at the top of this forum [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [10/04] BATT UPDATES! and install the cab file that you will find in there. Install it to your "SD Card"
Its not perfect but it works well.
Give it a go, dont like it, uninstall it, simple.
Yeah, what you are looking for is on the first post of this forum.
Its not a fully working ROM, but boots from the SD card (Windows Mobile stays on the phone). Some things don't work (Bluetooth, camera, some other things), but lots of things do.
gilnino: no offense intended, and I know you are trying to be helpful. But you're confusing the issue by telling the OP to look elsewhere, telling him to root, comparing to the HD2, etc. All the answers are here (first post top of this forum), there is no such thing as root in Windows Mobile, and porting to the TP2 has been much more problematic (from what I understand - I'm not a developer) than on the HD2 due to the TP2's CPU and other factors.
hey
im new with this came from dell streak and htc hd2 and just need help with rooting and what
do i loose and what do i gain i heard the 8mp cam dont work and somebody give me a little run down please
Came works fine except on some experimental Desire roms. Look through the stickies in the Evo development section......everything you need is there.

Hey man! Welcome to Evo world and congratulations.
It looks like you know what rooting is so I won't go into that. Everyone gets something different out of rooting their Evos--some get headaches. I got a faster phone, better battery life and the option to try a bunch of ROMs and learning a little about kernel mods--all good stuff. Some ROMs stick with Sense UI, some leave it completely and use AOSP, that will depend on your taste.
This page gives a great rundown of almost everything you need to root, ROM an kernel mod your new Evo. Definately go through the stickies though, that's really good advice and when you try a ROM, make sure you read the OP's ROM anouncement carefully.
Remember that you when you root your phone, you're on your own--seriously. No tech support, no calling the carrier so make sure that this is really what you want to do.
I'm using Calkulin's EViO ROM and the camera works perfectly. You'll have to read the ROM's threads to find out what the ROM's shortcomings and benefits are. I used CyanogenMod 6 and the camera's not so good in that one but they know that.

Stickies are specific posts that the community voted to be "stuck" at the top of a forum because so many forum members found the info inside that particular thread very helpful. Stickies will not move out of sight, even when noone replies to them for long time b/c they are "Stuck" at the top by an Admin./Mod..

Your camera should not be affected by rooting. But you know what you might want to try before you dive into rooting? Go on the market and install some home launcher replacements like ADW or Launcher Pro, these two are the most popular but there are others. ADW has some some themes on the market, some are a buck and others free. Try these first and see if you like the way they change the look of your phone. There's tons of stuff you can do to change the look of the phone without rooting. Mess with those while you're reading about rooting.
There are ROMs that keep the factory look intact. You're going to have to explore those on your own and see which one retained the stock look because I wanted to remove Sense and yeah, it takes a ROM to do that. Myn's Warm twopointtwo I think is an improvement on Sense.

No offense dude, but do you do ANY research at all before asking these questions? Every single question you have asked has already been answered to death in these Forums. Do research, read the Stickies, use the Search feature. If you can't find the answers to your question, THEN ask.

So apparently you feel that there is no need for YOU to do any research before asking a question that has been asked (and answered) 1000 times before in this forum? Your recommendation to anyone who suggests you do research is to go jerk off?
P.S. You'll notice no one is taking the time to explain anything to you, right?

What's an "HD ROM" that switches hole (whole?) themes? Do you mean a Home Switcher? Where did you see it?
HELP.
I was switching between an HTC Sense Rom and Gingerbread roms by using clockwork
Recovery 3.0.5 and selecting install.zip from SD card. Any rom that i try and install
Gets to flashing kernel and then produces error status of 7. I can't get passed the white screen
With the HTC logo.
Any assistance would be so much appreciated.

for your problem try wiping data/cache, then try and flash a rom, if it docent work, try and re flash your recovery.

Well said is quite the understatement. Has anyone seriously tried doing searches on this site for stuff? Sometimes you do find what you're looking for fairly easily, other times you can't find a damn thing that should be readily available. And if you're in panic mode because you think you just bricked your phone, are you going to search this entire site for an answer that might not show up in your search results? Hell no, you'd probably just create a new thread begging for help.
If you can't contribute and only talk down to people, shut your ass up. No one needs that type of attitude here.

I have to disagree.
First and foremost, give a man a fish... teach a man to fish...
The post you quote seems entirely accurate. The OP could obviously use more research as the answers are available. A little time with google alone will usually lead me to what I seek right here on xda.
I feel that the majority of xda contributors are more than willing to help if you show some indication that you have exhausted all your resources in finding your own solution. Though I do understand that moments of panic occur when nothing seems to work but it is always best as well as more satisfying to try and work through it yourself.
This forum does have a Q and A section that would be perfectly suited to handle this thread. The development section really isn't the place. You will get more welcome responses over there as that is its purpose.
Finally, as a member of this forum, I appreciate that of all the posts in this thread, yours (and suilmagic) were the only post that really did anything to help the OP.

I understand you point and I agree 100% people need to research their problems on a search engine (including the one we have here built in XDA (very handy)) because the majority of time, it will appear right onthe first page if you type your problem correctly, I agree with you. However, some users rather act in a certain way which would describe them as "assholes" if you cant contribute one way or the other why even post at all? if you dont know then theres no need to post unnecessary things. Just dont post and OP will get the picture and look somewhere else.

I agree with this as well though I hesitate at the name calling as it is also unproductive.
I miss the old days when we were all figuring it out together and questions turned to discussions. With the wealth of knowledge that has been built since then I guess some are not as willing to help others work through the problems. I do believe that if this thread had landed in Q&A it would have, or at least should have, received better response.
Well when I was new to this I thought I broke my brand new first day g2 because I got a boot loop (talk about panic mode xD) well I did my research and got it fixed thanks to me making a back up as soon as I flashed cwm...if anything it inspired me to get back at it...my advice back up your original shipping rom before you think about screwing around with stuff well now my g2 hinge is messed up extreamly loose so I'm returning it to stock :'( and sending it in....did I mention I'm 16?

Update on HTC G2 Crashed and Bricked
I followed the instructions posted on this site to try and recover my G2 to no avail. After hours with an Android Developer the apparent issue was with the phone's internal memory.
I recieved a replacement and all is good. I've flashed a number of 2.3 roms in addition to roms that have Sense, flashed a kernel or two with no problems.
I hope I don't re create the same condition that started this post. I'm not sure what I did to cause the issue in the fisrt place.
Thanks to all the people out there who tried their best to help.

It's not very hard to find out what you are: YOU ARE A NOOB ON XDA-DEVELOPERS. But instead of doing something against that, you decided to be rude and offensive and become a bigger noob. You cannot be serious that you thought buying an XDA-App and donating twice will prevent that you have to do something (e.g. using the search)?
Furthermore, you seem unable to write / use normal english language (best example for what I mean is the title of your thread [Soon up I rip my balls out!]). Do you have some problems to solve?
And the answer to your question is: YES, you should put your wife (to be honest, I doubt you have one) in front the of computer and let her search for you. She could not it worse than you.
In the end I am very happy I did not waste my time to help a guy like you. We (the people here on XDA) cannot suffer guys like you.

If you only knew a person or had a family member that had it...you would have understand why someone with dyslexia wanted to pull their balls out. enough said from me.. you keep on being happy not helping out someone with dyslexia with just a few words. anyway...

You really think I will believe you have that disease???? If you really have dyslexia, then you would have my pity and I or rather we here would have helped you.
BUT you wrote absolutely nothing about that in your OP or in your reply to my first answer. You did not even mention you used the search!!
Instead, you came up with that disease after being rude and offensive and getting rebuked. Sorry dude, but for me this sounds like you just made this disease up to have a good reason for your bad behavior (no offense).
I have a sense of deja vu on this thread.....
Herpderp Adreno + Tegra.
Like i said.. i have done that for days/weeks. I am not unreasonable. But there is so much to get hands on. I have learned about HBOOT and Recoveries, iv learned about partitioning and what that is, also learned about some apps like data2sd and link2sd. But I'm not sure which HBOOT and how partition with which recovery, and still have my stock froyo 2.2 to just do a factory reset.
And English isn't my mother language, I'm from Norway. So posting this was really like last option for me.

Sorry, I can see I seemed rude. I was more like feeling indicated for not could just be clever enough to understanding all that stuff on my own, and at same time hated myself and everybody else.
Anyway.. I'm not going to give up, so I'm going to do more effort and let you guys know if I made it or not .

Ok.. I need SPACE!
I keep going short on space ..
Rooted and s-off
8 gb SDHC4
Want to stick to my stock Froyo 2.2
Been using link2sd... but data keep taking space. Also... is the swap partition thing any good for memory?
What do you guys suggest ?

OK, I will try to give you a little help here. For a start, how many apps do you have? For you to be losing all that space on stock Froyo, you must have quite a few. Do you need them all? Can you delete few?
Since you are root and S-off, you really are better off loading a custom ROM that uses a different Hboot. Stock ROM will need stock Hboot. Different Hboots only work with certain ROMs, as directed in that particular ROM thread. You probably already realise that each Hboot will have different partitions and therefore offer varying amounts of space.
Swap partiton will be of no use to you at this stage. Unless you are using a ROM that requires it. And without knowing every single ROM around right now, I don't even think there are many that use this anymore, anyway...
So in short, delete some apps, or load a new ROM. Please don't ask which one is best, there are to many pro's and con's for each one, it has to be your own choice.
Finally, it's good you saw where you went wrong. Let this be a lesson. People here are happy to help people hat help themselves...and if you need someone to sit at the computer for you, then that is what you must do. Only after you have shown that you've gone to the effort, with no results, do you post a new thread, asking a very old question. And never, ever, be rude and act like you deserve special treatment. There are people here that can't even speak English and they get by just fine.
Good luck.
Clawsman, first some general advice: Even though this is the internet you are dealing with real people. If you conduct yourself like you would in real life (that means no talking about your balls for a start ) you'll have no problems at all. The way you started this thread was very rude and surely you wouldn't talk that way when asking strangers for help in real life.
Just be polite
As for your phone: I had exactly the same problem. I used stock froyo and was pretty content with it, except for the low memory. The phone could take just a few dozen apps and it'd be full.
So last week I decided to take the plunge and install a new ROM. It took several days before I got things to work properly. It was a very frustrating experience and I had to trouble-shoot guides every step of the way. But in the end I got it done
So this is just to say I understand your frustration. Flashing your phone the first time is not easy. But if you stick with it you can get it done.
Good luck!
Take ur pills and chill dude, if don't know reading and writing go take some calss, give ur paypal I will pay for it.
Clawsman, what so many people fail to realize, is that a good part of the information on this board is very outdated. Most of the threads that tell you to "start here" are chock full of old information that has never been updated since people started figuring out how to root their phones. For example, none of the noob threads point you to Revolutionary as a very simple means of doing s-off and rooting your phone. My suggestion would be to go to http://revolutionary.io/ to s-off and root your phone. After that, you can choose a different recovery, I would suggest 4EXT. You'll also want to choose a different ROM. There some "simple" roms such as CM7.1 or Oxygen, or you can choose something like MUIU XJ or Supernova that will give you a lot more room for apps by fooling the phone into thinking your SD card is part of your internal memory. You'll want to research a recovery and a rom to use together, otherwise you could run into problems.
My suggestions above are highly simplified. You'll need to do your research to see which will work best for you, and you'll also want to make sure they work with your particular Desire. Some models, such as my US Cellular CDMA, have very limited options and can be bricked if you try to flash the wrong thing (although it can usually be fixed).

I guess I'd take outdated over erroneous anytime now. Cm7r2 is not recovery.

Hello!
I'd urge you to first take a look at the Note II Toolkit, click here to find it. With that, you should first do two things before you start modifying your phone:
1) Using the toolkit, make a full Nandroid backup of your phone so you have a backup of it on your PC in case something goes wrong.
2) Also backup the EFS, you can do that with the toolkit too! EFS backup backs up the IMEI information and a whole lot of other very very important things that you may need in the future if something goes wrong with your phone.
After you have done those things, you should explain here more clearly what it is you would like to know more about, because I think the people who have read this thread aren't sure about what it is you're asking for! Lots of helpful people here but you should explain a bit more clearly! I will help as much as I can.
Thanks man This is what i needed too hear, just a tiny beginner guide on how to do backups is always nice and this is exellent service !
yes next time i shall not be as grumpy either plus my "slam typings " is understandable if you not only just follow what it says but understand what each word means its clearly says i want too know how to costumnize my phone and i would like help with this ..xD but hey next time
If you ask specific questions and use just a bit more punctuation, we can help you out. I know getting the hang of the Android development scene can be difficult, so feel free to ask, and make the most of the guides on the top of the boards.

You don't have to be 100% grammatically correct. But buddy this is an International forum where as per forum rules only English is allowed.
I'm an Indian, you know the national language here is Hindi, my mother tongue is Bengali, so in that sense English is my third language, but I hate it when I see someone else posting here with non English language or bragging about how to use another language on their Note 2.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist myself, but have absolutely no intention to abuse/insult you.
