guys hello,
i am new at the android "scene"
andd i need some help. a lot of people report that oxygen v2 rc5 is a lot
faster-smoother than htc sense. now from what i read it's based on gingerbread
right? and if so if i flash my DHD will i be able to root? and if yes could you provide
a noob's guide to flash my DHD?
thanx in advance.
Oxygen, isn't that for the standard desire? CM6.1.3 is fast and android stock. Isn't gingerbread yet though.

ok so do you have any other rom to suggest.
i am looking for one that isn't lacking any features,
is stable and has a smoother scrolling look on like an
iphone.
ps: no i don't want an iphone i just want my brother
who has one to stop using the only advantage of his phone
over mine to annoy me.
Just backup your existing Rom and start flashing Rom's. LeeDroid is popular, I run CM6.1.3 which I think is very good. Have a play and see what you like. Enjoy.

one last thing --> how do you flash a new rom???????
Read the sticky threads on the developers thread. You really need to understand what your doing before going any further.

ok thanx, will do.
ok so i got everything figured out. it's not as difficult as i thought
but there's a small problem. i install clockworkmod recovery from rom manager
but when i get into recovery i see the phone with the triangle. then i press
volume+ and power and the menu appears but it only has the 4 basics
no nandroid. what do i do?

Sounds like you don't have s-off. If you don't have s-off your recovery will be restored to the factory version when you reboot.
Go to the development section and grab the "one click radio s-off" tool. It will take care of the problem for you.

ok gonna try that thanx.
read and do this first
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
then choose any rom from the development section .. place the downloaded file on your sd card .. reboot into recovery choose install zip from sd card .. navigate to your downloaded file and install
I would recommend Android Revolution HD or Leedroid if you are looking for something very stable ..
ok guys thanx for your help but idecided not
to flash because i did some tricks and now my phone running fine.
1)uninstalled task manager (i am on froyo and you know the rest. haha)
2)uninstalled setcpu (i read somewhere that it may cause problems when running even if not profiles or any sort of overclock are active. that was the case with me, although i will miss the 245mhz screen-off profile.)
3)reduced my widgets and pages from 9 to 3 and 6 to 2 respectively
4)changed some options in launcher pro
these resulted in no more fc's and a lot smoother scrolling in menu, sms, homescreens etc.
despite the fact that when i scroll slowly between homescreens it's a bit laggy.
overall great.
thx again guys. if nothing else, i learnt a lot.
Disclaimer: I didn't create Boot Manager and am not affiliated with the developers in anyway.
I didn't see anyone posting this yet so I figured some of you might be interested.
There's an app on the market now called Boot Manager that's 2.99 and allows you to dual boot up to 5 roms. You still have your main rom which is stored directly in your phone's memory and then up to four more that are stored and run from your sdcard. Because you're running secondary roms from your sdard those may not run as fast as your main phone rom but my preliminary testing has been pretty good.
Boot manager is simple to set up and use and requires no special skills. You don't even need to partition your sdcard.
All you have to do is put whatever roms you wish to run on your sdcard and then install them through Boot Manager. Initially setting up the roms takes maybe 15 minutes but once your done you can boot back and forth very quickly, much faster than doing nandroids.
Enjoy
Update: I'm now running 2 AOSP roms Kushdeck's 1.3b2(main rom) and SalvageMod 1.4 and a Sense rom SynergyRls1 and haven't noticed any major issues. Gps works on each rom as well as 4g. Synergy does have some lag and for this reason took some patience and a little longer to initially set up but it works decently for running off of an sdcard. On a side note I've heard claims that Synergy does have some lag issues running normally.
I plan on ordering a better sdcard with a faster class rating such as class 4 or 6 so hopefully this will decrease lag but overall I'm very impressed with Boot Manager. If nothing else this gives you a chance to test drive roms without having to go through the whole process of replacing your daily driver.
PLEASE READ: I've reached out to one of the developers of this app who's from XDA and asked for his help in answering the problems some of you are having. I wish I could help more especially since this a paid app and you guys deserve to have an app that work. Below are the links to email support through the app website as well as the one of the developers Conap who's from XDA. Maybe if they receive enough emails they will shoot over to this thread to help.
Sorry I can't help more. All I can do is verify that it's working on my Evo but don't have enough advanced skills to do a lot more.

Fantastic alternative to being able to update prl/data profile on aosp considering that functionality hasn't been adapted to aosp yet.

Yea that's a good point. I'm running Kushdeck's 1.3b2 gb aosp as my main rom and didn't even think of that.

Alright, this looks really great. Love the idea. Just wondering for those who have it, since there are different kernels associated with each ROM (going from CM to Synergy) would you have to go back in and wipe battery stats? Also, would vipermod carry from ROM to ROM or would you need to set it up for every ROM?
How much room on the SD card would you need to boot 5 ROMS?
edit: quite a bit of room, have over a gig on sd card and can't load synergy. Have to do some cleaning later. Wish it could import nands, that would rock.
edit 2: cleared room, installed synergy on slot 1, rebooted, hanging on evo 4g screen..... bah
Im trying this now. I have Mikg as my phone rom and installing miui as a test. Will report back when I do some testing on kernals and battery life.
I'm getting error on editing boot.img when trying to install salvage.
Edit: even though this is an app, someone move it to the dev section. Needs more attention.

i need some more instructions. What are we supposed to wipe in the Rom Installer section? Also, how do you flash Gapps?
hasn't worked yet, boo... 2 battery yanks and nand restores
Edit: Got into salvagemod from synergy through the app. Didn't flash the Gapps, so it wouldn't recognize the app, so when I tried to go back to the "phone ROM", I get a "boot.img failed to flash, not rebooting" error.
yeah crazy... stuck in splash screen sooooo yay no bueno thus far...

Try doing it again. I've had that happen. Also the developer does state that not all roms will work. I've had 1 so far not work but I know Salvage works because I'm running it as a secondary right now.

Good question. That confused me first also. You only need to do wipes if you're installing a new rom over an original one in a slot. If the slot is empty you don't need to do any wipes.
I can't address the other problem since I'm not technically proficient enough with the app yet to give you suggestions. Sorry
To flash gapps just install the rom but don't reboot install gapps over the rom in the same slot.

Try doing it again or try another rom. My first tries didn't work either. Also as I mentioned above the developer says this doesn't work with all roms yet.
It takes a while. Since it's booting from your sdcard it's not quite as fast the first time as when you normally flash a rom. Mine stayed on splash screen for a little while to the first time I rebooted. Also try another rom just to see if that works for you.

Ok, well I've contacted one of the developers of this app who's also from XDA to see if he will come over here to answer some questions since I'm not able to help as much as I wish and you guys paid for this.
Also if you go back to OP I've posted links to email support or one of the devs who's from XDA. I pm'd him personally asking if he's willing to shoot over here and try to help. If you get the time send him a PM. Maybe if enough people from here contact him he will help.

It does not work on my evo. tried everything but it errors out while finishing building the rom.
Their description does say which phones it supports and EVo is not on there. They probably wont respond to any evo users (at least according to their description, since its a non supported phone).

well... ive gotten this to work with Miui as main rom, and Synergy Kingdom port 7/23 but confirmed i dont believe that synergy rls 1+God Mode ive tried tons this wont work...
pretty cool you can switch between aosp and sense pretty easily i like this lots hope in the future it becomes more stable and compatible!
OK, so I am not new to the xda desire scene,
(Despite the fact that I can't post in the rom development thread regarding this issue)
I have tried installing this Rom in as many different ways as I can over the past 3 hours:
Using EXT3 rather that EXT4
Changing Hboots
Making sure that I have got the correct download (a2sd+/D++)
Wiping a billion times over
etc etc.
HOWEVER no matter what I do I cannot get this Rom to function
When I boot up for the first time, I just get a wallpaper and notification bar.
No touch screen response/button response.
Only the power button works as a method of turning the screen on/off
I assume from experience at this point in first boot HTC's setup program
(or whatever it is) should start and guide me through
linking up accounts/inputting Wifi keys etc.
I have scoured the rom thread and others regarding rom problems and nobody seems to have had this problem of the Setup manager not starting.
As nice as the Gingerbread Screen On/Off animation is I would prefer to do abit more with my phone
I hope I have posted in the right section and I would very much appreciate it if anyone who has had this experience could help me fix this problem and get a working phone...
(ps. The Rom looks very good, if only I could get it working)
First of all try to redownload the rom!!!
And double check the md5

Hey Thanks guys, but..... I re-downloaded the ROM both versions 1.5 and 1.7 (since 1.5 is thought to be more stable) :/ and get stuck at exactly the same place :SSS I'm am abit baffled since I change Rom's alot and have never experienced this before
Did you wipe dalvik? btw your sd card partion need to be at least 1 gigabyte. It worked for me i had same issue as you. First post on XDA
My first installation of 1.7 didnt work and I had to pull the battery and I thought the same thing was happening with my second try, as the screen just went blank after all the crazy changing shapes that happen during boot. However once I touched the power button the setup menu appeared.
I thought this was strange as every other ROM I have tried went straight from the boot animation to the phone starting without the screen blanking out. I know this doesn't help solve your problem but it might mean something to somebody else, who can then help you further.
ps I have been running the ROM for the past week and I haven't had a screen freeze yet. Which has been a revelation for me, as every other ROM ive tried has been really bad for this.
I'm not sure, if I'm right here. I use this site for the first time.
So, I have a little problem, and maybe you can help me.
Yeah, it's right: I've a HTC Wildfire S.
Now:
You know the phone well I think. My english isn't that good. At the top of the smartphone there is a button with which you can unlock the display/screen. But right there is my problem. This button doesn't work anymore. And HTC won't to that for free.
My question is: Could somebody of you - if it isn't difficult - make a ROM or something like this to change it? So that I can use something different for it? Like the buttons on the display or the loudspeaker buttons?
And there is another question: How I could lock the screen, if this button doesn't work?
I hope you can help me!!
In fact this is not only lock/unlock button, but the power on/off button. If ever your phone gets off, it's dead.
It is not possible to remap the hardware buttons. don't you have guanrantee?
Yes, I know that. But with changing the battery the phone could power on..
Do you mean that you cant do something like I want?
Yes. It is not possible. There is a way to wake up your phone with vol. buttons in a custom rom and locking can be done automatically in the security settings. but when your power button does not work you will not be able to flash a custom rom.
Thanks. That's not that what I hope. But better than no answer
To the guarantee question..normally yes..but they say it's my fault..I dropped it...but yes I dropped it but after 3 weeks the phone doesn't work..can tsomething like that be?
Try claiming on insurance for accidental damage.

Did you try to put off the button and see if you can "fix" it manually?
I mean, if a small piece of plastic is broken, you should be able to stick it...
I don't know the exact condition, I'm just guessing and trying to help you.
since wfs has only 3 buttons, u broke the third of your phone.... and to make things worse, its power button ...
why dont you go to some phone service, and see if they could fix that button, it shouldnt be expencive, i did that on my htc tytn II....
First of all, I want to thank you all !

Thanks, benjamingwynn. I'm waiting 24/7.
Okay 5 days later I come back. I'm sorry for the lateness but I never normally go on XDA on my PC so getting links = problem. Here's step by step instructions:
1) IF YOUR NOT S-OFF - Use HTCDEV and unlock the bootloader.
2) IF YOU DONT HAVE CUSTOM RECOVERY/ARE NOT ROOTED - Click here, sign up, click on resources then click testing resources. Download the Auto-Installer GUI. Run the installer (Windows?) and then install cwm recovery and root.
3) Download Rom Manager from the Android market
4) Download Hensemod here, flash it using rom manager.
5) Enjoy Henry's wake by volume feature his amazing sense rom.
Any problems then DON'T BE AFRAID TO CONTACT ME! I will always reply even if it is a few days later.
Hello. I have a problem with flashing roms. First of all, i do everything like it should be done. I know because i have android for 2 years now.
The problem is. Every time i flash a OC kernel "sense" rom, my device cant bootup. At first, it just get stuck at the htc logo. Then if i try to start up again, i get to the set up. And it just get stuck again. Sometimes i am even fast enough to skip setup and try to lower the cpu clock. I even get there but it just freeze again. Min-two max! Now, i am currently running Cm7 and on 768mhz(806 freeze sometimes). Working great. But its just not as "good" as htc made sense is. Ive tried every rom there is, and...yeah...you get the point...
I contacked a few of ppl that made those roms, but they all say "i cant help you" at the end of conversation...
I think there are few other people with the same issue. So, you will not be just helping me.
Sorry if i made some grramar mistakes i am not British...

You could try flash a sense rom, followed by a stock kernel before booting. This should be stable but it means that you will loose support for the additional features they add. I think m1nd******* has a patch for his rom that makes it only clock to stock speed, could be worth trying
Thanks

Ok, i did that. Its working. Now, i saw i can oc manually after this. Do i have to disable no-frills first? Now is 120-600 smass2.
And, thanks, its working. But only this rom... This is sad. And if devs put their rom to startup with 600, will it mean that i can boot it? Then its really bad for me they put 806 as stock, im guessing im not the only one with this problem. Just put 600 as stock, after you can set cpu as u like/need... Just a though...
