Geek For Me is proud to announce:
Toast's Secret Sauce
From the developers who brought Eclair (Android 2.x) to the CDMA Hero
I'm confused about this post/rom
A lot of new HeroC users out there don't even remember a 2.1 before damage got the leaked RUUs. I actually ported it to the Hero way back in November of 2009 from a copy that had been ported to the GSM Hero. Myself, toast, and a couple of others then spent MONTHS getting everything working. We started with basically nothing at all and ended up with a near fully functioning rom, through the use of real dev work. Check the older posts at http://geekfor.me/android21/ for info on the previous work. I also went ahead and made this post using the old thread so that maybe people can get some history on it.
Can you tell me more about this?
I'll be staying tight lipped for the moment but what I will say is that this is marked as a dev rom for a reason. It is not going to be a 100% functioning rom and is made more as a proof of concept, and for fun. It is not meant as a daily rom for most users.
When will this be released?
Coming soon to a phone near you. We're still working on hammering out some bugs, and adding some features.
And a little teaser (benchmarks) :

Just make a nandroid backup and you'll be fine. lol. This doesn't modify anything that could possibly brick your phone. But yea... it's pretty to look at but doesn't do anything just yet. I can probably get wifi working and such but I don't know what my chances are of making it work on Sprint. I don't know if it even ties in to our radio.img at all and if it's compatible with 2.1.
Many thanks!
I will be flashing this momentarily but wanted to ask you generally what is involved in "porting" a ROM from GSM to CDMA. My naive understanding is that 1.6 and up are GSM/CDMA capable.
And I must admit (with a developer background in many flavors of *nix, particularly the open source varieties of Linux and BSD) I'm not sure I understand why Android is so device specific. Is it the device drivers for individual hardware, the radio? Chip/CPU architecture?
Thank again for the work, I'll let you know what happens!
Hey Flipz.
have you tried to load the modules from the 1.5 rom. ie the radio and all other pertinent modules for the cdma radoi
Tried it can't get past the boot screen. Waited for a crazy long time. You didn't say to do a Nandroid backup in your post, What should I do now? Just kidding, you know it's going to seriously be asked in a couple of posts though.
from the sceen shots i can most likely tell what the major issue is.(i.e. 2.6.27) lol... but hell yeah man!!! thanx fixin to flash now.
If you wait a seriously long time and it won't boot then you likely didn't do a wipe before you flashed the update. It will fail horribly and just keep looping on the startup screen.
I haven't done a single thing yet to try and get anything working other than getting it booting. I wanted to post it up here ASAP.
ah I didn't see to do a wipe, if I wipe the nandroid on the sdcard stays right? I assume it does but I'm going to copy to the copter to be safe. Thanks.

Yup. The wipe pretty much just clears from info from /data/. But having multiple backups is always a good thing!
ok man great... it boots. it takes a minute but it boots. ur right nothing works. maybe bluetooth but all i did was scan for devices. it scanned. but i dont got a bt device. anyhow im gonna charge my phone a bit an try to debug some issues. phone is dead so i gotta wait a few. but thanx again man... good work
oh yeah it booted after a wipe, I feel dumb, it's kind of cool to play arround. the two things I really wanted to see from the 2.1 where the pinch to zoom home screen trick that will zoom out and show all 7 homescreens at once. And the Landscape home screen. Oh well it's really cool to check it out on a CDMA device now after all the GSM brothers have been having fun.
well the phone works. still says no service though... hmmm weird

if u cant then try plugging in the usb and adb shell. thats all i did. i was doing that then my wife called and surprised the hell out of me
Does sense UI now work with the accelerometer, per rumors and leaks) or is that not the case yet?
idk... i tried using teeter and the ball wouldnt move.... i think the accel is broken... bluetooth works i paired up with my wifes eris

I had to sell my old tilt and buy a new one because I upgraded my WM to 6.1 and I was having way to many issues especially with it running too damn slow and with my frustration I ripped the keyboard off...
Are some of the issues with 6.1 fixed? Is it safe to upgrade my new phone to 6.1 without having the same issues I had before? If so what ROM do you recommend?
Well... when you get tired of your new phone (cause you bought the exact same phone) maybe you can sell me your new one cheap. I can always use a awesome backup phone.
looks like the same old issue people start crap threads dont read and some clown shoe like me has to tell you to do the research yourself because xda isnt about spoon feeding

btw I tried to find a answer but I wasn't able to get a clear definite answer. So how bout some help please?
Yup - all the issues have been fixed.
Jump in the waters fine.
A word of warning - while all THOSE issues have been fixed THESE issues are now extant and will bite you big time.
Same thing - different issues.
Out of curiosity - What are the "having the same issues I had before"????

Thanks for the reply.
I would tap the screen or press keys and nothing happens for 2-5 seconds. This would happen to me about once every 2 minutes. What was the original cause of this problem?
What ROM do you recommend? I've been using an old Nokia for the past couple months before I got the new tilt.
I want badly to say something a bit more colorful than this... but... uhm... WHAT?!?!
Performance is *very* ROM dependent, not to mention dependent on other software you add after the fact.
What ROMs did you try? What software did you add? There are a host of other variables...
The bottom line - there was nothing wrong with your old phone. In point of fact you probably bought an identical one. Any performance enhancement you may notice now is either purely coincidental or due to a different ROM.
In other words - C'mon man! Understand what you're typing before typing it
this is an actual problem people who upgraded to the official 6.1 are experiencing...
have you tried the official AT&T forums, then?

the problem was the older spl's. flash a newer hardspl .. problem gone.
I ran into similar issue... The way I fixed it is by submerging my phone in a bucket full of water. It cleared all my problems. I am now very happy.. . I am not suggesting you do that.... all i am saying that what I did worked for me.

I also have a few issues with my Kaiser. It is big, heavy, slow, ugly, with no proper drivers and a stone-age user interface.
Are these issues sorted out in the new Kaisers, should I buy a new one?

Best way to describe this will be SSDP (Same S*it Different Phone). I dont know how you going to fix all the issues by buying the same phone again. You should got a different phone...
I think its funny alone that you would upgrade to 6.1 and then continue to rip your keyboard off rather than do a simple downgrade back to the att 6.0 files... DURRRR
And no they haven't fixed this issue about ripped off keyboards....

Hello,
I recently switched to my first android phone from an iphone and I hate it right now. I am currently trying to update it to 2.3.3 but it won't work for some reason. The phone shuts off randomly, and the wifi connects but does not send data to my phone so i can't use wifi. Above all of that, the phone is really plain, and is does not appeal. Can somebody PLEASE help me with any of the above problems, and maybe even show me some UI's that would be good for this phone, like a Sense for it. I know nothing about android and I am really frustrated, and do not want to sell this phone.
Root it. Download mui rom and use iphone theme. Works well and looks great.

You shouldn't need wifi to update. Download all the files on your computer and flash them using nvflash.
The best thing to do is root, than download MIUI and youll love the phone, you can make it look exactly like an iphone 4s , or anything you ever wanted to
Yup, root it and you can do miracles with miui and even cm7....

I too came from an iPhone, and I had the wifi problem on the g2x too, where it's connected, but it's stuck. I was extremely frustrated, and want to throw the phone against the wall.
I ended up rooting it (super easy to do), after you've done that, you'll be able to flash a new ROM on to it. I use Weapon, which is based on the stock LG gingerbread release. It's super stable, fast, and best of all, no WiFi problem, at all!
I don't get this, if the developers on XDA can crank out these nice ROMs that are more battery efficient, fast, and with less issue, what is wrong with LG? You'd think that they have more resources than the developers here!
In our family there's 3 G2x phones, none rooted since everyone likes the vanilla Android that came on them. All 3 have been rock-stable with no issues with wifi, etc. Not the greatest build quality, but so far trouble-free. No significant complaints or need to root for ordinary use.
From HTC G2 with xda premium.
You don't even need to root. Just nvflash ClockworkMod and flash a custom rom.
(This is the right way to do it)
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
Wait a minute...did you buy this phone new? If you did, from where? My ex-wife and I both got this phone in early September and it came with 2.3.3 pre-installed. If you don't want to deal with ROMs, just take it to a t-mo store (and actual store, NOT a kiosk...all the idiots work in kiosks, lol). They should have no problems doing it for you.
Whoa not real sure why my original post was posted here. Could a mod delete this please?

Exactly. The updater killed my phone too and I'm not a noob (am I? lol)
LG has a crappy updater. I ended up having Tmobile replace my dead one (THANKS LG!) with one that was pre-updated.
Probably what I would recommend doing if you don't feel like taking the 15% of successfully flashing GB on it the right way. Mine was stuck on the LG Updater Screen. Just call Tmobile and say it won't do anything. The LG updater app said it was already running the latest version and wouldn't continue.
It's a known problem. Then BAM... new phone with it pre-installed. The full update process takes HOURS. Transfers at super slow speeds. LG Updater also changes the version numbers on your phone FIRST, so if it fails, it's hosed.
Rule of thumb LG, never change version numbers until the phone was successfully flashed and verified.
The G2x is geared more for seasoned Android vets, so it isn't anyone's fault. It's a sweet phone though. I did successfully fix the "Update of Death Loop" aka UoDL by doing a FULL NVFLASH install of GB. The how-to is in this forum somewhere.
LG can kiss my ass. After over 2 hours of trying to upgrade the damn baseband the tool still keeps messing up. This is insane. They should have gotten it right the first time. I'm done with LG. Notice the time lapse of my second attempt to upgrade this ****. ICS is more stable on my htc hd2. I'm pretty sure I'm now soft bricked. Good luck to the rest of you dealing with this nightmare of a phone. I'll be using my hd2 till I order a galaxy nexus. Also if you know what the problem could be please let me know. I have all of the drivers and its a brand new windows 7 pc I'm using.

Did you reboot both items and make sure you follow directions to the "T" in the threads for this stuff. Also look into other ways. And finally this didn't need its own thread lol, but I understand the need to vent, again read through the threads and you'll see people having your issue and then you'll probably find your solution. Also make sure you are bone stock recovery and all I can't remember if that was a problem or not for some.

You could try the kdz app. Also upgrading the bb breajs bluetooth in every rom except stock. I actually upgraded mine and ended up down grading with kdz. New bb is only good if you stay stock or dont need bluetooth calling at all.
I know i was just curious to see how much it would improve the device. I know its only for gps but i was just curious. Anyway, ill look into flashing cwm tomorrow and just keeping the july baseband. I was just pissed because there is only so many errors a person can take before they vent. Thanks guys. I noticed that the ics roms are solvong data drops. Hopefully it becomes more useful to me.

Dont let it fool you, the new bb doesnt help gps, it still sucks. The only improvement it gave is that i was told i sounded louder to someone on the other end than i did on the old bb.
The newer bb also breaks bluetooth unless they fixed that. I'd stay away from the newer bb (maybe that's only on the ICS roms).
But I 100% agree with you, this phone should've been recalled. It would've been 1000x better for LG to cut their losses and recall the phone than to ruin their entire image for themselves. See you on the other side of this P.O.S. Goodluck!
Also disable any firewalls/antivirus. I was having similar trouble until I disabled everything.
Thanks. Yeah it sucks because this phone has a lot of potential but ****ty support. Maybe ill try disabling it and going for one more try. But i think im just gonna stick with the old baseband.
New bb is good in my opinion, but not really worth changing. To much risk for a phone that will eventually have little support, but the devs we do have are awesome and they support the new bb. Love my g2x,but can't wait to upgrade.

CM7.2 was a nice little update.. until I overslept for work because my phone had another SOD. I noticed if I leave my Wifi or bluetooth on- it will sometimes SOD... i just have to make sure i turn those two radios off... its only happen 3 time since I updated about a month ago(?). maybe i'll go back to 7.1... i just hate reinstalling the apps even with Titanium backup..

The biggest barrier, IMO, is Nvidia's refusal to release driver code or binaries to support the chipset that runs our phone's graphics. I for one am not buying Nvidia's stuff again.

I'm trying to get to MoM from JB, and my phone will not comply despite having done this exact thing, in the exact same way about 45000 times before.
I can get back to UCLB3 stock, but as soon as I flash any kernel with CWM it just decides to restart and bootloop the samsung logo. I'm too pissed off right now, trying to keep myself from throwing my phone through my wall like the past 2 so I apologize for the lack of detail.
Ideas?

Got into MoM and it was stable for much longer, but then it did it again.

How much more information can I give?
I was on JB
It sucks so I used ODIN to flash UCLB3
I was going to stay stock, and use a custom kernel
After I flashed any kernel (and this happened without one too) it booted
After between 5 seconds and 5 minutes after boot it would go to the samsung logo and then restart
I somehow flashed MoM 1.4
It still does it, but it takes a day or two to do it.

First JB is being provided and looking thru the thread of scott.hart.bti & Th3bill, others seem to enjoy it very much, but we all have our likes.
But why not say thx, and it is not for me...instead of "sucks", just because you have or had issues due to lack of...well that would be "your bad".
Even though others may not like or agree with me, I will stand up for their work and efforts, so enough of that...
Since you have odin back to stock and have flashed another ROM, but are having issues.
I would one click (only because I am a one clicker) back to stock to included boot loaders and format all, redoing my folders with a new CWM and then go to a custom ROM, but maybe staying stock would have been good for you, idk. Up to you...
btw more info is better, you are the one requesting help, those out here are nice enough to try, since you had 70 views of this thread before someone replied, just saying. Pays to be a lil nice.

The power button is part of the outer plastic case that pushes a switch inside. I bought a kit that came with some small screwdrivers and a plastic pry tool shaped like a guitar pick. You may be able to pry it away from the screen enough without taking apart to try the canned air. Don't think it would get where it needs to otherwise.
i think i had same problem when i flashed the first JB. nothing was working yet and i knew that. went for it anyway. by the way i am amazed how far its come in such short time. i still have no flashed it again yet, just not sure its or me.
anyway, this was before the "1 click" thing BigJoe was talking about.
i Odin-ed back to stock and it didnt take either. had the right recovery, but would not flash anything or re-install a nandroid,
however i Odin-ed a second time and after some very sweaty and intense moments, cautiously caressing my infuse, everything was good.
So I have some good news, and some bad news(at least for some of you )
I ordered a white 32gb Nexus 5 last night, which means, I will be moving on... It's shipping by the 26th, so I have a few days left on the SGS4G, but after that, i'll be using my Nexus 5.
Well, this doesn't mean that i'll be selling my T959V
SO... where is the good news?
well, I'm working on bringing 4.4 to this phone
So you guys can be hoping that i get it working...
I might have that in depending on how much free time I have, but thanksgiving break is next week, so if I don't get it in this weekend, look forward to some progress over the break...
BUT... 4.4 will probably be the last thing I do for this phone(unless one of you guys still owns one when 4.5/5.0 comes out and you want to pm me to take a look at it)
Time to reminisce....
- I purchased the galaxy s 4g with a 2 year T-Mo contract on February 28, 2011...(yes the day it came out)...
-You may find it hard to believe, but I flashed a vibrant thing on this phone after being told by the T-Mo guy that it's essentially identical.
-----I was trying to get to the aosp lockscreen, and flashed a vibrant's framework-res.apk, soft bricking my phone....
-----Back then there was no custom recovery for our phone(other than people thinking that Vibrant's CWM would work)
-----I made no post about how to recover, since I wanted to use my brain to fix it.
-I started theming and learning the true insides of android...I had flashed custom roms back in the G1 days, but i didn't really know how anything worked.
-Then custom rom making, and Team Acid hating me
----- @GFX.myst. , are you interested in unblocking my FTP yet?...
-----I also owe an apology @bhundven
-----And @turtlepa I guess for being a whiny little b**ch
----- @noiphonehere what's up?
----- @RaverX3X sorry.
----- @FBis251, sorry as well
----- @m4xm4n, where are you?
----- if i forgot anyone, sorry.
-So yeah, it's been a rough journey, but I made it through, and I'm moving on
SEEYA LATER WITH 4.4 (unless Acid/ @DJLamontagneIII beats me to it)

- I purchased the galaxy s 4g with a 2 year T-Mo contract on February 28, 2011...(yes the day it came out)...
-You may find it hard to believe, but I flashed a vibrant thing on this phone after being told by the T-Mo guy that it's essentially identical.
-----I was trying to get to the aosp lockscreen, and flashed a vibrant's framework-res.apk, soft bricking my phone....
-----Back then there was no custom recovery for our phone(other than people thinking that Vibrant's CWM would work)
-----I made no post about how to recover, since I wanted to use my brain to fix it.
-I started theming and learning the true insides of android...I had flashed custom roms back in the G1 days, but i didn't really know how anything worked.
-Then custom rom making, and Team Acid hating me
----- @GFX.myst. , are you interested in unblocking my FTP yet?...
-----I also owe an apology @bhundven
-----And @turtlepa I guess for being a whiny little b**ch
----- @noiphonehere what's up?
----- @RaverX3X sorry.
----- @FBis251, sorry as well
----- @m4xm4n, where are you?
----- if i forgot anyone, sorry.
-So yeah, it's been a rough journey, but I made it through, and I'm moving on
SEEYA LATER WITH 4.4 (unless Acid/ @DJLamontagneIII beats me to it)

I'm right here... lurking. And being uber busy.
I know how you feel.
This is a good time to mention this... I don't own this phone anymore. We had a good run since the summer of 2011. I learned a lot thanks to you guys but I'm currently trying to focus on other areas in my life and I've had to put a lot of personal projects on hold because of this.
It would be awesome to see Kit Kat on the SGS4G, primarily because it's meant to run well on devices with low ram. I'm sure it'll run smooth!
You know FB. You've contributed a lot to this community. Have a great time with whatever device you currently own, and good luck with your other things.

It's cool enough that you still see the forum, let alone respond.

I now have a test build. Anyone interested? I don't know whether it works yet. Since I have to go get out my sgs4g. (my n5 came in the mail today). Also, I no longer have a working sim card for that.
so pm me or post here if interested.
actually, nvm, here's a test link... i can't promise that it boots... but if it does, it is probably functional....

Samething happened to me. I used Odin to restore the recovery. I was able to get back into recovery mode then, so I flashed the latest backup I made. The phone is once again operational.
nah it is just fine.. i always do that. that going to stock but not exactly that.
i use gremlin remover when i flash roms.
its gives me root and easily flash kernels and roms
the thing that i cannot do is to LOG/CATLOG sorry for being dumb ;/
any good news ?
I think he's waiting for someone to give him a logcat so he can actually make it boot.
@Fluidification, how else can we help in order to help you out here.aside logcats is there anything else?
