MotoSense v0.51 patch (see top of post)
WIPE YOUR PHONE BEFORE ANY FULL IMAGE IS INSTALLED! (Recovery menu - factory reset)
If you don't you might get constant reboots with the M logo
INSTALLATION:
Use G.O.T Recovery / Open Recovery to install this rom.
Currently require you to install a 2.36 stock rom, before you install this one.
Radio Band Requirements for different countries
Some countries require the original 3G files of your current ROM to work ie.
Canada, Brazil, Venezuela, Germany and some others countries uses a different band for 3G. If u dont backup the 4 original 3G Files and restore it over this nandroid once installed u gonna have poor signal, sms problems and HSDPA loss (even if u set apn and get conection its gonna be crappy one).
Files should be in the /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/ of your phone.
This can be done using OpenRecovery and a adb shell.
You might check this thread , if a update-nosign.zip file exists for your model. which makes it easier for you to install.
Filenames are:
File_Audio
File_Audio2
File_GSM
File_Seem_Flex_Tables

- Changed Motorola VideoCamera & VideoRecorder to work with HTC framework for optimal use of Moto Camera.
Changed Moto Gallery for proper playback of your recordings.
- SDCard is now always "on", so you will notice status is "0 bytes" when you connect to pc. No conflict with wifi anymore.
- Apps2SD support, EXT2 supported.
Use G.O.T recovery or other application to partition your SDCARD Partition no. 2 should be EXT2 formatted
(G.O.T will do this automatically)
- Apps2SD remaining space can be seen in settings -> SD & Phone storage. Look under "Internal Phone storage" which is your EXT2 partition.
- optimized internal storage space. Most apps are now in /system. leaving your with 171MB free internal storage on your milestone.

(Dock , GreekIME , Maps , MotoCarDock , PersonalPortal , VSuiteApp , QuickOffice , teeter )​NOT SOLVED
- Reloading of Rosie (HTC Launcer)
Reason for not fixing it is that Motorola Milestone simply do not have enough memory for HTC SenseUI to run stable with only 256MB.
the launcher is very memory hungry for all its plugins and graphics.. so sorry, no fix, unless you add 256MB more memory to your phone.
- Bluetooth headset​
v0.42 29 july 2010 (MotoSensev042-update-nosign.zip - attached to this post at the bottom) (type: nosign-update.zip)
build.prop correction (hopefully solves too many sense restarts)​Keyboard light enabled​HTC Camera fix (5M pixel)​
OLD REVISION DATA DELETED, OBSOLETE and not worth writing anymore
WARNING: Use this image at your own risk and i take no responsibility if
you brick your phone.. Image has been tested on a UK milestone and works fine if all files in ADB recovery image is used.

woah, nice work buddy. just got a question, if i apply this rom to my North American Milestone, do i lose the ability to access 3g/hspa network from rogers?

is gps working

i got one guy on IRC from Canada(im from europe, so im not sure on networks you got overthere), he tried it, and it works fine for him
You should try to only flash the system+data image of it, as the cust.img contains telephone info, which might be what you need to keep.
GPS is not working atm..

im new to the motodroids , will this work on the motorola droid or just the milestone ? ive had the droid eris so im not sure if there is a difference between the droid and milestone, sorry for the dumb question,

Porting is no easy task, when its not about development, and zeusdroid actually do have some customized wireless driver.
But i managed to use the existings drivers from Milestone..
And im probably not going to do programming to make the port perfect, as that not so easy, although i got some experience.. but none within driver programming.

im really happy with the progress dext3r, this is awesome.
just curious, any ETA for GPS fix?

if you know your way on a few linux commands,
then you're welcome to make it work yourself.
1 . copy the /system/lib/libgps.so from the original milestone 2.36.0 image.
2. flash motosense image.
3. mount /system
and copy libgps.so into the flashed image into /system/lib
and GPS works after a reboot.. So fixed!
of course all done from adb shell.

10.1 for 2.1 senseui roms are not real, it just looks like 10.1,
but the flashlite already reports that number.
and yes, flashlite works fine. tested on a few flash websites.

I have a Telus Milestone and I will consider trying this ROM at some point.
Just to crosspost from the other thread... in another thread I was told the following. Could be useful for keeping 3G.
DAGr8 said:
cmstlist , there is an easy way to retain your baseband just flash the HK sbf , then , copy paste these files and make sure you set the permissions correctly .
Probably safest to do via adb if you dont make sure you reboot ...
for the 3G baseband Hack/Swistch it 5 files from /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default
File_Audio , File_Audio2 , File_GSM , File_Seem_Flex_Tables , generic_pds_init

So perhaps if you want to try Motosense on your Telus Milestone, then you should backup these 5 files (and take note of the permissions) before flashing the nandroid image. Then afterwards if 3G doesn't work on the Motosense image, restore the same 5 files.

Ok I wasn't able to flash only certain parts of the nandroid backup so what I did was make 1) a full nandroid backup of the Thai firmware (leaked from GOT) on my Telus Milestone unlocked for Fido, 2) a partial nandroid backup using the options --backup --nodata --nocache --nosystem
Then 3) I flashed all of the motosense backup. Trying a first boot. Will report on whether my NAM 3G is gone.
All I get after the M boot logo is a black screen, followed by a force close notification for system. Nothing else comes up. Long-press Home and I get no recent applications. Oh wait - spoke to soon! Wow, just got the HTC lock screen. Unlocked and now I have the setup screen. Asks me to insert SIM to place calls as if I don't have one inserted. My only option seems to be to press "Skip". Okay, home screen loading up now after the tutorial.
So yeah it's not seeing any phone service and I get "Unable to start Wi-Fi". I'm going to try a second reboot. This time the Droid eye shows up promptly (BTW this is very odd to see because Milestones don't usually have that animation). The phone boots up considerably faster than on the Motorlola firmware. *This* time, I do see cell service. In fact I just got a text message. Wait it just dropped again.
Trying to search for network operators. None showing. Strange! It does see wifi though this time. As the OP implied, DHCP not coming through. Meanwhile my Fido service just came back... VERY weak. Dropped again. Normally both EDGE and 3G are quite strong at my apartment so it's odd. Is it possible this ROM has weaker RF somehow?
Ok trying to set up the APN. Noticing the keyboard doesn't light up. APN set up but still no service. Reboot #3: Yes, wifi works now. Mobile network still very weak. Briefly connected to mobile data and it was EDGE. Test phone call fades in and out. Maps manages to wifi-geolocate me.
Alright, so I'm obviously having connectivity problems and only getting 2G. Let's try flashing back the partial I took from the Thai firmware. To be continued next post.

Okay! Flashed back my partial backup from Thai 2.1. Rebooting. Droid eye comes up, glares at me a couple times, back to the homescreen. Connects to Fido. Disconnects, connects again. I am still connected via EDGE, not UMTS. I try going to *#*#4636#*#* and selecting WCDMA only - no dice.
Alright well this has been fun. But obviously I need my phone service to work so this ROM is not for me. Despite having dutifully pasted the info up above about the 5 files to backup... I neglected to do so. So it's back to the full nandroid of my Thai firmware. But one thing for sure, Sense is very pretty!
Before doing this, I made one attempt to install Superuser.apk using the app installer, and then to install Root Explorer. Root Explorer was unable to get root. Maybe if I installed Superuser via OpenRecovery it'd be happier.
Okay back to normal. Goodbye for now Sense!

Backup restored successfully. I used Root Explorer to back up the 5 files in question to SD. Then I restored MotoSense one more time, and before even booting it up the first time I applied root from OpenRecovery. This time it booted much faster. (Is there any way the stock ROM can be hacked to boot this fast? Wow.)
Again, wifi fails to start on boot #1; succeeds but no DHCP on boot #2; works on boot #3. Signed into my Google account and installed Root Explorer (previously purchased). This time Superuser pops up like it should and we're in. I entered Airplane mode. I pasted in the 5 backed up files from the Thai firmware to /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default after mounting read/write. Then I made sure to fix the permissions. Rebooted without exiting airplane mode.
After reboot I disabled airplane mode. Hey, FULL SIGNAL BARS! I did it. But now it's telling me unable to start wi-fi. Let me add in the APN next. Done.
YES! The little H pops up. I'm getting 3G data! But as soon as the icon pops up, it drops out again. In any case I know I'm connected to UMTS because my cell tower ID in Maps > More > About is 1957869 which is my local UMTS tower. Test phone call is *much* clearer and signal isn't dropping anymore. One more reboot.
On the next reboot, wifi is back. Upon disabling it, the lovely "H" shows up and then flits down to "3G". Testing in browser... hmm nope. Something still missing, don't know what. One more reboot, trying again. Internet works on wifi, but not on HSPA (even though the 3G/H icon comes up).
Sanity check: Dialed *#*#4636#*#*, Phone information. Run ping test.
Ping IpAddr: Fail: IP addr unreachable
Ping Hostname (www.google.com): Fail: Host unreachable
One more sanity check: Switched to GSM only, verified in Maps>About that it's connected to a 2G cell ID (57322). Full signal bars, good call quality. So swapping the files improved both 2G and 3G voice performance.
Since I had a bit more success with this approach, I'm saving a backup for future reference, and on my rare moments of idle time I'll play with it again. But back to stock for now.

G.O.T 2.2.1 released(2.6.32.9 kernel)

G.O.T 2.2.1 released

G.O.T is proud to finally be in a position to present to you the 2.2.1 firmware files you have all been waiting for.
We have also finished our work on our OpenRecovery modification for this and previous builds.
Lets start with the Credits:
- The entire G.O.T theme for sticking with me during the past week and the numerous IMs/calls/chats we have had to get this done in time. I, personally, feel honored to work with you guys!!
- The great nadlabak and skrilax_CZ. None of this would have been possible without your continuous dedication and support. Nadlabak, go-go-go with your CM6 We are sure once you launch your new edition of CM6, our firmware will no longer be needed by the users!!!
- DAGr8 and -fufu-. Your ideas and cooperation with us (especially our coders/scripters) took our OR to a whole new level. As such, the incremental jump to V2 of the OR is all due to you guys.
- he_stheone64 for agreeing to “licence” his Theme “SummerBlues” to us as the new and improved G.O.T theme. Thank you so much.
- All the other help we had from the people that worked with us day and night and who would like to remain “silent” contributors. You know we owe you a lot!!!
Here is what you need to know:
a) Contrary to previous releases, we would strongly recommend you to use our GOT OR V2.0.
One of the first things you should do is use the “Fix 2.2.1 bugs” selection in the new OR 2.2.1 menu after you flash the sbf file.
This tweak will fix some of the issues with the generic sbf build such as dual USB notifications, replacing some stock Motorola applications such as the old launcher/mediagallery and adding the Wireless Tethering application.
DO NOT USE after installing the G.O.T. theme, as the services.jar is different between both versions. If you did it anyhow, simply install the G.O.T theme again.
b) The sbf firmware files are all modified by us including the vulnerable recovery, so you can flash and root straight away (same as with our previous releases)
c) If you flash the firmware, you might encounter a reboot after the first boot. This is normal and expected behavior, so do not be alarmed
d) We can only provide you with full sbf releases at this moment. We strongly recommend not to use any backup from 2.1 related kernels as you are bound to get into trouble. The best approach is to install the apps you need from the market, set up your accounts and customize your device by hand. This is the only way you can guarantee that any issues encountered are not due to an incompatible data/settings backup.
e) Performing and restoring nandroid backup from 2.1based kernels will result in a bootloop unless you use our G.O.T V2.0 OpenRecovery (or any other ORs that have been updated to V1.44 of skrilax_CZ base). The simple reason is that we have worked together with Skrilax_CZ as we, and him, encountered issues when trying to restore 2.1 based nandroid images on top of the flashed 2.2.1 firmware. We are very happy our cooperation with him was as good as it was, and as such be in a position to already have solved this issue at launch.
f) We are extremely proud to give to you the new G.O.T Theme for 2.2.1. Some of you may see the familiarities to the SummerBluesTheme of he_stheone64. There is a reason for it – we are proud to be able to announce that he_stheone64 has worked with us, and agreed, that his SummerBluesTheme is now the new G.O.T theme.
g) NOTE: On some devices, we have encountered that rooting directly after flashing without rebooting after the initial flash can bring some issues with RootExplorer not asking for root permissions. To be safe, reboot after flash so that the “welcome to milestone” menu comes up, set up the device in general, then reboot to recovery and root the device as well as apply our 2.2.1 tweaks with Launcher, Services.jar fix and Wireless Tethering app.
Testing experience from our team regarding features and functionalities:
- AGPS works reliably, no trouble found
- Bluetooth works reliably, no trouble found
- WLAN works as before, no trouble found
- GPRS/HSDPA data works fine, no trouble found
- Framelimit of 30fps lifted
- Kernel 2.6.32 includes and supports the generic 2.2 features known
- Tethering app (3G Hotspot) included, but did not work for us (network provider needs to support this feature failures). We don’t know whether this is possible with your operator, but we have included the wireless tethering app in the Stock 2.2.1 tweaks
- Market needs fixing to show protected apps, bug solved by using the G.O.T fingerprint of build.prop and market fix (provided in 2.2.1 menu)
- Overclocking works fine with the modified overclock2.2.apk written (2.2.1 overclock menu will install it)

[How To] Install The New GOT Update On Milestone
[Info/brainstorming] Compiling modules for the 2.6.32 test kernel
got it up and running and synched so far so good, quick question how do i install marketplace apps to the sd card I cant seem to see the option?
Overall speed wise its great. The theme is slick. Battery life will be tested. But my wifi will not work. It does not like my linksys 400n router. It refuses to connect, it will try then stop and say disabled. Help would be appreciated
Bravo G.O.T!
Anything special to install the OR 2.0? SBF flashed fine for me and phone works, but when i run the update.zip it just stays on the logo without going into open recovery =/
EDIT: nvm, forgot to copy OpenRecovery to the root of sdcard..
Just flashed.
But I have no idea what's "One of the first things you should do is use the “Fix 2.2.1 bugs” selection in the new OR 2.2.1 menu after you flash the sbf file. "
I've mirrrored them all on my server.
Happy downloading
Great News but i will have to wait, cause my Operator use 850MHz here in Brazil , Claro
And i dont want to loose 3G, if anyone in knows if its possible to save some items to replace i will be glad
I've been running it for the last 4 hours and so far so good! I have the cpu set to 900mhz any recommendations for the vsel speed?
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk
After the initial sync with google everything went speedy.
Did the 2.2.1 fix before even setting up the phone.
I'm getting 1mbit more from my hsdpa (running 2.3mbit now, barely hit 1mbit before). Still way too low for hsdpa, but I suspect that's my carriers fault.
Rooting and theming (standard GOT CM6 theme). Very pretty.
But the phone seems sluggish for a few minutes after each bootup. I have not yet changed CPU speed.

You can use the Telus version. It's from Canada. I'm in Argentina and can connect with full speed 3G (HSDPA)
JUST REMEMBER to take note of your APN settings, alright?

Dammm dude Thx!!! I will do this
i would like to know whats the normal vsel for 900 mhz too and the safest to undervolt at this speed
Having a hard time installin the got theme, sbf flash works great, then when i install the theme its a constant reboot loop

both go straight to 1000mh and keep the stock vsel. aka 56vsel no point for the gaysh 900.
apps installer is crashing for me.
How do i install this Rom???
wlan doesnt work for me either. later i found a "dns fix" inside OR 2.2.1 mod menu but it didnt work as i thought it would. my HSPA works like charm tho. so i cant really say its a dns issue (or maybe it is, they might use different route table)
I'm feeling a little crazy so I'm currently at 1.33GHz / 1330MHz with a vsel of 88. If that is likely to kill my phone and / or fry the CPU I'd appreciate someone telling me but the highest available overclock with the Milestone Overclock app is 1200MHz and 80 vsel.
For those running the themed version can you throw a few screenshots up? I don't mind the stock version and I'm cautious about installing a theme without seeing any images.
How do you install the ROM? It's an SBF file so you need RSD Lite. Look at the thread about rooting your Milestone for details on how to use RSD Lite to flash your phone with the SBF file. It'll also tell you how to install OpenRecovery which is a similar process to installing the new recovery with this.

Using RSD Lite , same as with any official ROM from Motorola. It makes this installation pretty painless.
See here for a decent guide. Skip step 1, and in step 5 you choose the SBF from GOT.

Scoot CyanogenMod (RLS5.5) - this setup is not dead

Like i've posted in the setup thread from Liquid, this setup is the best i've tried until now, the only one that make missing call an old history in fact
Another better than ever pola 100 nand / nand setup
Download rom (5.5 version - 6 doesn't work with polaris kernel) : Scoot CyanogenMod (RLS5.5) [16.03.2011] and put it on your sdcard in a directory named andboot (at the root level)
with atool download the latest 2.6.32 kernel, modify it as desired
flash your unlocked phone following this tutorial or use atool scripting ability
update needed : none
work : everything except camera !!!! very smooth and very reliable(no missed call for 1 week, that's a revolution) and not so bad battery life
finally, development kernel seems to be not so far from "ready to production" status, with even better nand stability
we're waiting rom update and next krazykilla's kernel with polaris support, for a better stability and ability tu put data on ext4 partition
Thank you to scooter, liquid nr2jt and all androidhtccrew for their tuff work
Nand is not perfect and run corruption sometime that crash your setup : use the nand startup "backup/restore" data ability after you have configured your rom and favorite applications, to avoid loss of everything : it will create a 256Mb image of nand memory in your SD card /andboot directory that you can restore later in case of crash.
you can increment this backup later if you are happy with future modification of your rom
TIPS : noticed that setup as it is is good enough, people at cyanogenmod know their business
- Tip 1 : in atool, you can try to increase advanced battery capacity to improve accuracy because N2jrt has noticed battery calculation is not good and there's a correction factor of 1.6 to apply (i put 1900 but you can increase to 2200 in theory)
- Tip 2 : you can download Roguetool from the market to overclock your phone
- Tip 3 : try the app named killerauto from the market, it does a very good job with very comprehensive settings to free your ram in real time (and increase battery life)
- Tip 4 : In cynogenmod parameters/performance : check the "keep home in memory option" and activate compcache (10%) to get better result - i don't activate JIT
- Tip 5 : i've noticed that's the battery widget is cause of some trouble sometime, you can get rid of it in this case
what's next
- make polaris' atool development kernel compatible with release 6 : thx to scooter and liquid by advance
- Make crazykilla kernel with ext4 support available for polaris (release from his #54 thread doesn't work for me) or maybe unified every kernel to get the best one
crazykilla's kernel is a usual kernel without the polaris support compiled, i don't know why the #54 version don't work and i can't test it anymore (my polaris has a toasted nand).

Blinking screen
I've tried it with my XDA Orbit II and all I get is the white blinking screen after running haret. It's written in the man that it takes a lot of time, so I left it and went to sleep When I woke up, the screen was still blinking the same way and had to remove the battery to reboot. WM booted fine, there were files system.img and data.img created on the microsdcard of the size of 300mb (I don't want to flash it on NAND as it is my first attempt to install new software on phone). I tried Froyo, now trying Eclair and after an hour it looks the same. What might be wrong? Should I try stable kernel or other setups?

i don't know such setup sorry, i work on nand only to get real speed
I don't want to try flashing on NAND until I find a setup that would satisfy me and work well as I would in practice lose the phone for some time while trying to make it work. So far I've succesfully installed this, but I can't make the PIN code work. I tried to disable it in WM in phone settings, but when I do it, it requires me to enter the PIN, and doesn't accept it, just as Android does :/ Does the PIN code problem occurs in NAND installation as well?
this setup is really not ready. i tried so many times and it always hangs and at the end you'd be reinstalling the system back. I'm sticking back to the Not-So-Super-Froyo setup and has since found it to be very very stable although no camera and no GPS working on it. Just a bit of tip to all those who try and occasionally reinstall, after you have found a good stable setup, install your basic favorite apps and games, then get reboot the phone, access the Android Boot Menu and choose Backup Data on the choices. The system will save your stable setup on an image file on your sdcard. So anytime you have a system crash, you can just choose to Restore Data from the Boot Menu. Saves you a lot of installation.

I'm sticking back to the Not-So-Super-Froyo setup and has since found it to be very very stable although no camera and no GPS working on it. Just a bit of tip to all those who try and occasionally reinstall, after you have found a good stable setup, install your basic favorite apps and games, then get reboot the phone, access the Android Boot Menu and choose Backup Data on the choices. The system will save your stable setup on an image file on your sdcard. So anytime you have a system crash, you can just choose to Restore Data from the Boot Menu. Saves you a lot of installation.

Yes i've read this technique somewhere, maybe i will try it next time
thank you for the tip anyway

I don't want to try flashing on NAND until I find a setup that would satisfy me and work well as I would in practice lose the phone for some time while trying to make it work. So far I've succesfully installed this, but I can't make the PIN code work. I tried to disable it in WM in phone settings, but when I do it, it requires me to enter the PIN, and doesn't accept it, just as Android does :/ Does the PIN code problem occurs in NAND installation as well?

yes if i remember well my past haret experience, i had to deactivate PIN in WM to make android work

what kernel do you use ? i use liquid's 2.6.25 + kernel update
I finally follow your advise and came back to "not so super" and begin to use the "backup data" function...
The best setup so far
I've tried deactivating in WM, but that doesn't work as I've written above. I also tried to disable PIN using my friend's LG AT&T and it didn't work either so I guess I have to try some PC software or go to my service provider and ask them to do it. Thanks for replies.

lol i've read about the 2.6.25 working camera several times yet i chose to follow the blunt idea that "everything current is best ever" setup.
Anyway ill follow your advise now hehe and finally will have a working camera back again. anyway we have a backup hehe. Thanks man!!!
by the way, i liked your post title a lot haha.

yeah that's why i try other roms today (i'm in a rom rush ) to see if situation is better with backup trick
i saw the great nr2jt say in a topic that he save is data every morning to prevent its loss
that's why i give another try with scoot 5.5 with liquid's 2.6.32
Hey liquid do something for us to use 6 release
post 1 updated
After numerous builds+kernels, loads of frustration (and the inevitable revert to wm for a while) I think I like this setup. Simplicity at its best, Scoot CyanogenMod (RLS5.5) and latest 2.6.32 from atools as per 1st post. Just re-purposed the camera button as 'home'. Even my headset works, albeit intermittently.
Which settings for ATools for pola200?
Hi,
i tried to install this rom on my german pola200. But on the Linux Bootscreen the text is scrolling down and sayes that it installs the rom. But than it scrolls down error messages.
I tried this for houres but it shows no final error or something. The Text is scrolling on and on.
So i think that i used the wrong settings in atool. I used this tutorial to set up atool: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsNand
What settings should been used?:
- What version to select?: Donut, Eclair or Froyo?
- Best settings for sd-card-partition? I used first partition 3 gb fat32, second partition 1 gb ext2.
- where should i install system and data? Both on second sd-partition? Or should there be a third partition? (the first time i tried to install the system on intern memory but install runs out of space)
Can you please explain the right settings in atool?
best version is froyo.
to choose sd-card partition, you must have your sdcard PREPARED beforehand. Atool does not partition your sdcard for you. As of what to use to partition your sdcard you can search it at google. (im sorry im a little bit short on time now). choose NAND on both system and DATA.
atools has sd partioner inside so you can repart sd card (boot script editor Y), but the sdcard must have only one partition on it (fat32).
i stand corrected thanks l1qu1d.

[CDMA][TUTORIAL SET]CDMA Desire Informational Thread

HTC Desire CDMA (BravoC) Thread
I wanted to create this thread to show that there are CDMA Desire users that there are users that want to help ourselves, and we need more ROMs! With the addition of 1.06 HBOOT Desire's being able to be rooted now, there is a large influx of these users new to rooting.
Most of the content was rewritten by me, but I must give thanks to the XDA Forums, Cyanogenmod Forum, Team US Cellular Forums, MIUI forums, and 2fast ROMS! This took a while to put together for me!
Of course, thanks to fllash for the Desire Index thread and for being awesome, but with the influx of CDMA users, it's time to branch off slightly.
This was written by a US Cellular user, but most information is for all CDMA phones. I have owned both a 0.98 HBOOT and a 1.06 HBOOT device.

Tips for CDMA Users:
Red comments are by 2fast4u88
Blue comments are rebuttals by me.
Most things in this forum are for GSM users, the CDMA Desire was added a year ago but never got an official forum on XDA.
Your phone is CDMA if you do not have a SIM card port by your SD card.
CDMA users do not need to worry about radio's as much as GSM users do. Most CDMA desire's only have 1 or 2 different radio's depending on the carrier.
It is recommended to not mix h-boots and radios. Use the radio with the right h-boot. The newer radio's have better battery life. The older radio's have better signal strength
Don't worry people, I haven't seen a ROM that updated your radio without specifying it very well before you download!
CDMA users do not need to use different HBOOT images for ROMs.
Gsm roms do not need h-boots. All the modded h-boots are for is for memory like cmtd does for us.
Backup your APNs!
You do not need to backup your apn list when the rom dev supply's the zips to flash.
Not all ROM devs supply this unfortunately, and it's always useful to have one just in case, especially with easy apps like APNs Backup & Restore!
There is no Gingerbread Sense ROM for CDMA users yet. Official Gingerbread for the Desire will not have Sense built in due to the limited space on the Desire's memory.
Gingerbread update will have sense but with some stuff downloadable last I heard. Even the the uscc desire will not have it along with probably other carriers. Uscc made it public one update per device.
Yeah, unfortunately it's not likely to happen for us CDMA users.
If you do any fixes to your phone like repairing your 3G service (detailed below for USCC members) or getting your MSL Number, you must do so on a Sense ROM with EPST.apk, which most Sense ROMs have. Keep a backup of your original ROM! The official 2.3 update should fix this problem, but no guarantees.
What are you even talking about here in all honesty? There is no issue flashing anything that I am aware to break 3g?
On the Cyanogenmod forums, a lot of people happen to ask about lost 3G service for US Cellular, and many of these people are roaming. I've had this happen to me and found the official fix by the USCC Roaming Tech Support. Guide added to the third post!
If you ever ask for support, specify you're a CDMA user and your carrier.
Use BravoC recoveries, not Bravo!
If you need more space for apps, use either App2SD, Data2SD/EXT, CMTD, or for CM7: S2E from the market.
This a problem a little bit and bugs me everytime I see it. Skuddy is the only one to use data2sd. All the other roms running what is to be called data2sd is a knock of of darktremors apps2sd+ with out dalvik moved. Also every rom has one built in so using a app to do it is going to cause issues.
The market app S2E seems to be a universal Cyanogenmod addon that works on most devices. I personally use and love it.
DO A NANDROID BACKUP
Only needed for having a backup of sense. If you have a ruu it isn't needed. You can of course due backups of a rom if you want but isn't needed everytime. I don't waist my time with backup's anymore.
Yes, but it's good practice for those who are just starting, as they're very likely to miss a step when flashing a ROM, or trying out CMTD for the first time.

Rooting Guides
DISABLE HTC SYNC ON YOUR PC
THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY, at least software wise. Insurance should still cover physical damage I believe.
-------------------------------------------
How to root HBOOT 0.98:
To make this easier, create a new folder on your desktop (or wherever you prefer) to hold everything. Let's name it Rooting.
Download unrEVOked: http://unrevoked.com/recovery/
If you're on Windows, you'll need special drivers. Linux and Mac user's have it easy for this one.
When I rooted my first Desire, they instructed to install HTC Sync then uninstalling it, which keeps the drivers on your system. While some say these drivers aren't the best ones, they will most likely work anyway.
You must also install the unrEVOked HBOOT drivers located here: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
You can either follow the guide in the link above, or follow this one:
Driver Download (WINDOWS ONLY): http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/lib/e...unrevoked.com/recovery/android-usb-driver.zip
New recovery (ClockworkMod 4.0.1.0 by 2fast4u88): http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=40
Open the zip and place the recovery image in the folder like pictured below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1) If on Windows: Unzip the contents of the driver zip file into a folder inside the folder we're using to keep everything together. Let's rename this folder to Android HBOOT Driver. Download the UnrEVOked program and place into the rooting folder. Save the recovery to the same folder.
2) Turn off the phone and make sure it's unplugged. Hold down the Volume Down button first, then hold the power button. You should see 3 Androids on the bottom of the screen, you are now in HBOOT. It will check your SD card whenever it goes in here, so don't worry if it takes a second.
3) Make sure your HBOOT is 0.98, the second line of text should say something like HBOOT-0.98. If it is 1.06, check the other guide.
4) Plug in your phone. If you're on Linux or Mac, skip the rest of this step. Windows will look for a driver and likely fail, and your phone should say HBOOT USB PLUG. We will now install the driver. Make sure you're an administrator on your computer! Click on the Start button and right click on Computer, then click on Manage. A window will open, and click on Device Manager on the left hand side. (OR just search for Device Manager in the search bar). Look for Other Devices, expand the list and you'll see Android 1.0. Right click on this and choose Update Driver Software, click browse and find the folder you extracted your driver files to. You'll get a warning about unsupported drivers and clikc Yes/OK. You should now see Android Phone at the top with an entry named Android Bootloader Interface. It is recommended to restart your PC after this. Might want to bookmark this thread and return!
5) Now unplug your phone and turn if off (Pull out the battery or use the Volume Buttons and Power button to navigate the menu to select fastboot, then select reboot). Once rebooted, go to your home screen and press Menu and choose settings. Go to Connect to PC, select Default connection type, select Charge only and uncheck Ask me.
6) Go back to settings, choose Applications, select Development, and check USB Debugging, and go back to Applications and check the Unknown Sources.
7) Run reflash_package.exe and select custom recovery, and select recovery-bravoc-3.0.2.8.img.
8) Plug in your phone and start the process. Your phone will reboot a few times, DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR PHONE. Wait until unrEVOked says done! You should be rooted,S-OFF, and custom recovery! Install Titanium Backup from the market to make sure your phone is rooted then follow the Backup Guide! Backup your APNs as listed below!

How to root HBOOT 1.06:
To make this easier, create a new folder on your desktop (or wherever you prefer) to hold everything. Let's name it Rooting.
Download AlphaRevX Beta: http://alpharev.nl/x/beta/
Keep this page open, because while running the program you'll need to generate a key.
Clockworkmod 4.0.1.0 by 2fast4u88 Fastboot Recovery Image A.K.A. PB99IMG for ClockworkMod: http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=40
Extract the zip file and place PB99IMG.zip like pictured below.
If you're on Windows, make sure to install the Windows drivers provided on the page or get them from here: http://www.multiupload.com/2OFYWZFCCR
1) Turn off the phone and make sure it's unplugged. Hold down the Volume Down button first, then hold the power button. You should see 3 Androids on the bottom of the screen, you are now in HBOOT. It will check your SD card whenever it goes in here, so don't worry if it takes a second. Make sure you have HBOOT 1.06 and you have S-ON. If your Desire has S-OFF, skip to step 7.
2) Unzip the AlphaRevX file into a folder inside the rooting folder and name it AlphaRevX. Place the other 2 files in the rooting folder.
3) Install the HTC Drivers, it should be fairly easy to follow its instructions.
4) Go to your home screen and press Menu and choose settings. Go to Connect to PC, select Default connection type, select Charge only and uncheck Ask me. Go back to settings, choose Applications, select Development, and check USB Debugging, and go back to Applications and check the Unknown Sources.
5) Plug in your phone, and run AlphaRevX. Go back to the AlphaRevX download page and enter in the details provided to you. Copy the serial number, and right click paste into the window. If right click doesn't work, right click the top left icon in the window, choose Edit>Paste. Hit enter, and it should follow the process. It will reboot your phone, DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR PHONE UNTIL IT IS SAFE.
6) Once completed, your phone should be rooted and S-OFF, but not recovery. Close AlphaRevX and install Titanium Backup from the market to see if you have root, and follow the Backup guide after finishing the next few steps. In case you're just S-OFF, but no root access, you have two options: Try SuperOneClick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 Or Try unrEVOked found in the 0.98 HBOOT Guide.
7) Now we must install custom recovery, place the PB99IMG.zip file onto the the SD card, do not place it into a folder. Once copied, unplug your phone and turn it off. Go back into HBOOT by holding down Volume Down and then the Power button. This time, when it does its scan, it will find the PB99IMG.zip file. It should say Press Volume Up to apply update or something like that. Your phone will reboot normally, and then remove PB99IMG.zip from your SD card. Finally, turn off your phone again, boot into HBOOT and select recovery, and you should see ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8 boot up. Finally you are done with the rooting process!

-------------------------------------------
Backup Guide
There are many processes to backup your phone. We can divide these processes into 2 categories:
DATA BACKUP and NANDROID BACKUP
Data backups are backups of certain things such as Apps, Data, Text messages, and even system preferences.
-------------------------------------------
Nandroid backups are backups of everything on the phone, from every partition of SYSTEN, DATA, BOOT, SD-EXT, CACHE, and .ANDROID_SECURE. This is a byte-for-byte copy of everything on your phone (and if you have a partitioned SD Card).
System is your phone's ROM area, holding the internal components of the ROM and the built in apps.
Data is the area where applications and app data is kept if not installed to the SD Card.
Boot is the ROM's boot image. You will have very little interaction with this.
SD-EXT is on your SD Card, standing for SD EXT Partition. EXT2/3/4 is a file system used by linux (which android uses) and can be used to store data. Commonly used for Apps2SD or Data2SD/Data2EXT.
Cache is the area on your phone that data is temporarily written to, like web page content and app data.
.Android_secure is used for the normal Android Apps to SD system. Some apps keep data on your sd card.
Before you EVER DO ANYTHING like flashing another ROM, or try a modification like Data2SD or other ROM modifying scripts, DO A NANDROID BACKUP. This is the most important thing you'll ever need in case soemthing goes wrong.
-------------------------------------------
Data backups are backups of parts inside the phone, and certain parts such as user apps and app data can be applied to whatever ROM you use. Say you are going from your Stock Sense ROM and you want to try Cyanogenmod, but you don't want to replay all your games like Plants Vs Zombies and Angry Birds. Using an app like Titanium Backup, you can backup the app and all of its data and restore it on another ROM like nothing happened.
Data backups can even include things like ringtone settings, text messages, preferences, and contact data.
If you care about anything like those on your phone, you should do a weekly backup.
-------------------------------------------
Nandroid backups are completed by your recovery image. Say you want to do a Nandroid backup on Clockworkmod, you simply boot into recovery, select Backup and Restore, and choose Backup (make sure you have enough space on your SD card, such as 1GB free). The process will copy everything on your phone and place into a folder on your SD card, and you can restore these backups any time you like.
Data backups are done by certain apps. Titanium Backup and My Backup (Normal or Pro) are the common suggestions. Titanium Backup has been around forever and works great, but My Backup will also backup other things like text messages, call logs, and other core phone features. I personally use Titanium Backup, SMS Backup and Restore (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore His other apps are useful as well).
-------------------------------------------
Titanium Backup Guide
Once you are rooted and install Titanium Backup, if you're on Stock ROM, open up Titanium Backup, and hit the Problems? button in the bottom center. There should be a Upgrade or install Superuser button, which is required for many root options and required for backing up! Install it!
For a quick and easy app backup, just go to Titanium Backup and hit Menu, then select batch. Find the Backup all user apps + system data option with the button that says RUN in black. Hit Run the batch operation at the top, and make sure you have enough space on your SD card, around 200mb. It will now start the backup and complete in a few minutes. The more apps, the more time it takes.
When you install your new ROM, install Titanium backup (Superuser is built into most custom ROMS) and hit menu, Batch. Find Restore missing apps + all system data. Some ROM apps will clash, like camera and dialer, so uncheck those and reinstall them manually.
-------------------------------------------
One of the most important things to do is to backup your APNs. APNs are what allow for picture messaging/MMS and in some cases internet browsing. This app will streamline the process: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.APNBackupRestore
Simply backup the APNs from your stock ROM and restore them onto any ROM you'd like.
If you must remake your APN and you are on a US Cellular Desire, this should help you:
http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=60
I would suggest making a Sense APN backup and a non-Sense APN backup and restore one to whichever ROM you're using.
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
Returning to Stock (US Cellular users)
So say your phone screen cracked somehow, like your girlfriend had it in her lap, and she got out of the car. Concrete + perfect angle + force of gravity = cracked glass. (I still love her don't worry)
Hopefully you have insurance on your phone, and the software works fine and the touch screen works.
For those returning it, you should definitely flash back to the stock ROM or apply the 2.2 Update. This will not S-ON your phone, but it likely won't matter.
To do this, proceed to http://www.htc.com/us/support/desire-uscellular/downloads/ and follow its instructions for installing the update. However, many people have problems with this, but don't worry, I found out how to install the update without the program working.
1) Download the update and open the executable file. It will unpack the files to the temporary directory (%temp%) but we can find this easily. After opening it and waiting for it to complete unpacking, open your task manager and find either ARUWizard.exe or ISBEW64.exe. Right click on one of these files, click Open File Location. Find rom.zip, which should be about 163mb. Copy this into a folder of your choosing, like Rooting/Stock Froyo.
2) Do a Nandroid Backup on your phone!
3) Rename the rom.zip into PB99IMG.zip and place onto your SD Card of your phone.
4) Reboot into HBOOT (Hold Volume Down and Power) and it should find it with seconds, but will take a minute to load.
5) Apply the update, and you should be back to Stock Froyo. Your HBOOT will be 1.06, but you will be S-OFF still. They most likely won't care.
Optional steps!
6) Say you're on US Cellular, and need to send it back to Assurant Solutions, the insurance carrier of US Cellular. You will need a $100 deductable payment. They should send your new Desire in the mail pre-loaded with Froyo, along with a return envelope. Take out your SD card of your old phone, and place your old phone in the envelope.
7) Take your new phone and activate it by calling 888-944-9400 on another phone or Google Voice on the desktop, follow the menu to talk to a representative by dialing zero as your last step. Make sure to have the ESN DEC number of the new phone (Under the phone or on the box), the last 4 digits of the account holder's Social Security Number, and of course the phone number.
8) The person you speak to will activate the phone and ask you to dial *228 to update the PRL, which will take about 2 minutes. Say thanks to the helpful representatives!
9) Follow the rooting guide for HBOOT 1.06, restore ClockworkMod, (optionally nandroid the stock ROM), and restore the update for your previous ROM.
10) Go get a good protective case for your phone and KEEP IT ON.

Lost USCC 3G/1x Fix
For some reason, for a select few users, they lose 3G service, and in some cases 1x all together! If this happens to you, don't fret! USCC Tech Support is great, just don't tell them that you're rooted. In most cases, these fixes are only avaliable for Sense ROMs, because EPST.apk is a Sense-Framework only tool that handles core functions of the phone, such as programming the number and other items. If you need to call tech support, flash a Sense ROM or the best case: your stock ROM. Keep a Nandroid restore set of your stock rom backup up on your computer or dropbox just in case this happens. This is the official fix they gave me.
While attending college 100 miles away from all US Cellular Towers, my 3G lost service. When you roam on a USCC device, you're bouncing off of Verizon towers, and sometimes they block your device for some reason. Not even Tech Support always knows why. I had them send me the fix since I had to run to class, and I noticed on the Cyanogenmod forums a lot of people lose their data signal, so I shared it for them.
[COLOR="#FF00000"]YOU MUST DO THIS ON A SENSE ROM, STOCK IS PREFERRED. ROOTED OR NOT.
CALL TECH SUPPORT FIRST, THEY'LL GIVE YOU YOUR SUBLOCK CODE AND GUIDE YOU THROUGH THIS.[/COLOR]
You can find your Sublock code (MSL) by getting the MSL Reader app from market and running it on your stock ROM.
When finished, make sure your data works, and then you can boot back into whatever ROM you'd like.
HTC Desire
1. Press "Phone," dial ##778#.
2. The screen will display EPST "View Mode," "Edit Mode," Select "Edit Mode."
3. Enter the SUBLOCK code, press "Ok."
4. The screen will show about 20 different fields.
5. Tap on "Modem Settings."
6. Tap on "Preferred Mode.
7. Tap on “CDMA Only”, Press "OK".
8. Tap on "HDR Hybrid Preferred."
9. Tap on "Disable". Press "OK."
10. Press the "Menu" button at bottom of phone.
11. Tap on Commit Modifications.
12. Press OK to reset device.
13. The phone will reboot and "1X" will appear at the top. . Your customer should now be able to access data.
14. When the customer returns to our coverage area, go through the same process and reselect "Automatic" in the "Preferred Mode" and "Enable" in the "HDR Hybrid Preferred."

great thread, we needed something like this for us unloved cdma users. its good to have all the cdma stuff in one place for everyone to access.
Wow! Thundersense is not one im familar with..
http://2fastroms.com/viewforum.php?f=23
Add those to the roms. Sleeksense is the only froyo rom with working undervolt and faster than any of the other sense roms also.
Added a couple of those that seem to be updated the most. Also, since you know your ROMs, what is your explanation on why we don't have CDMA Gingerbread Sense ROMs?
Change the miui links as my forum has the most up to date miui's since myself and skuddy does them for miuiandroid.
As for why we don't have gingerbread sense. It would probably be because we don't have a leak. No leak no kernel. No source no kernel made easy.

So I'm guessing there's no way to port the GSM leaked kernel? After all, the EVO 4G uses the same processor, or does this factor other things like the built in memory and others?
any way we can help get the kernel out faster? like email htc once a day asking about a kernel source for the desire?

Unfortunately, that's not likely to happen. Then again we'll never know until we try. Still doubt it though.
um, probably a stupid question but at http://developer.htc.com/ it shows the us cellular desire having the source code, though it says eclair im guessing that is not what we need?
Correct. We want a Froyo or Gingerbread Kernel.
Even though a phone has the same cpu doesn't mean a thing. The kernel controls more than a cpu. Like anything setup on the board. The cdma and gsm has a difference in the board. Which our phones really are not all that common to the gsm.
Though the difference between a gsm and cdma kernel source isn't all that different. Just stuff missing in the gsm source. I believe the gsm source could be used if we port the cdma stuff up to froyo (Not even sure that would be needed) the port the cdma stuff over to the gsm stuff.
Now I was going to try to do that if it was possible. But I don't understand it really all that much. I can tweak the kernel source, build source and tweak, port roms and look at the main differences in stuff. When you ask for some help you either get confronted by a why or the dev you pm ignores you. I believe I have pm'd nearly every gsm dev to the point of having a ? with doing a kernel or porting something. The only one I ever got a reply from was benne. Now the ones with other devices seem to be willing to help though.
Which takes me to have sense hd. I have it all ported, setup what I believe to be correct. Where it starts to boot and freezes at a couple .jar files saying they can't be found when they are in the sense hd rom any way. Have yet to figure that one out.
Though thinking logical why waist time porting the sense froyo kernel when we should have the source? Every other phone has the source code after every update. I was told I would get it no later than a 120 days I think it was. Then they weren't in a gpl bind as android was w/e it is. I think it has been 6 months no with out the source. Where they are in violation of gpl as the android kernel is a linux kernel under gpl.
With that said if you search on here other devices got the same reply's to e-mails some of us have got. Which they got in no later than a month by doing constant e-mail's from people. They posted a generic type e-mail to send demanding the kernel source. Which is all it would take. This is honestly what I recommend to do since you will have issues starting out porting it. When you could start with something that works like it should.
Edit: Also the desire never got a official gingerbread sense. They got a leak which as I am aware all the gingerbread roms still use the stock kernel that was leaked with it. If it is using a different one I am guessing it was ported. Which leads to the other thing. Porting a gsm rom to cdma most will work but you will get force closes on some things. This is likely due to stuff in the frameworks for the cdma that is missing. I haven't looked into it much in all honesty. As sense is a different animal then aosp.
With that said though uscc said one update per device. Where my leak inside uscc said no gingerbread a month ago. Where uscc I figure would be the first to get it. So if we done get it. It would depend on the other carriers. If they don't I doubt we see it.

Ok this is the first warning before contacting a admin. You never contacted me to use my clockworkmod files. Let alone ask to host them yourself. Heck you never even gave credit for the files. You also never contacted lohp75 to use the pb99img.zip on top of it.
Being it is known that myself or weasel compiles the cwm files. I had a feeling you jacked them off my forum with out permission. My forum is open pubicly for people to stop in and download w/e. This doesn't me take the gift of getting something for free. Upload it to a different host and claim it as your own.
A little hint what do you think the 2fs after the clockworkmod is for? Sure isn't for looks.
So since you never contacted me to re host them or use in your guide. You will not have my permission to have them in your guide. You also jacked all the info in this guide from other guides and posts with out giving credit. Thanks for trying to take credit for nothing you did
Official gingerbread update?
HTC released the official gingerbread update for the Desire recently.
Is that only for GSM? Is there a way to get it on our cdma phone. I currently have CM7, but I miss sense.
Maybe someone made a rom that's basically the official Desire gingerbread, but works on the CDMA Desire?
Thanks

Koush is the maintainer of CWM, and personally I would appreciate it if you didn't put "2fs" after the version because it looks silly and nobody really gives a hoot who compiled it.

No there's no official CDMA Gingerbread kernel. There is a Sense 2.0 ROM testing right now from 2fast4u88.

[Q] automatic reboot after lock up ALWAYS

Hello.
I´m new owner of Xoom "refurbished by motorola" bought on Don´tRetail.
With serie rom, updated by OTA to 3.2, all run perfectly. Enough smooth and run, but Quadrant give me a poor results (1700 points).
After unlock, flash recovery clothwork (3.2.0.0 rc4), I flash tiamat roms (2.0, updated 2.01, and later 2.1 hammerhead).
In all this scenaries, when just flash the new rom, work correctly, but when I installa any application...oh oh...
...when I press power button to suspend it, after eight second Xoom automatic reboot.
I back to stock status (reflash serie rom, serie recovery...all serie) and xoom work correctly.
when I reflash to use another time Tiamat´s rom...here is the problem...when I installed any application, if I suspend Xoom reboot automatically after eight second.
If I plug xoom to pc, and in "cmd terminal" I made:
adb logcat
I can suspend xoom without it reboot.
I tried to elevate minimal frecuencyes in setcpu, but same results.
I tried to do a logcat > logcat.txt in terminal emulator, and suspend the xoom...same result...reboot after eight second.
Any sygestions for I can use Tiamat roms???? With stock rom I have 1700 point in quadrant...with Tiamat without overclock (my xoom don´t let me overclock ) I have 2800 points.
A lot of thanks....Im so frustrated
Ok, I am just asking this to make sure I am 100% clear with this story.
Everytime you do an image with no apps and you shut down, the Xoom doesn't restart, but when you download applications it does... If this is so, I would suggest that you list the applications that you put on your tablet when it does restart, because to me, it sounds like it is an application that is bugging out on the Xoom.
Android systems are set up to force a restart if there are too many system resources being chewed up by applications that are a "High Priority" status and this causes a system resource lock up, and unfortunately, the only way to fix that is to force restart the system. IF it is a app that is doing it, all you need to do is make sure that app is not running to allow it to do so. Good ways of finding out is to use Titanium Backup (Marketplace) to freeze the apps (but that is only for a paid version...) or as someone else just previously suggested in another forum post is Autorun Manager where it allows you to freeze applications from starting up.
I would also suggest that you use the LogCat function in the SDK Tools that is stored in DDMS (aka ddms.bat located in the SDK TOOLS Section). This little program will allow you to do LogCat on your computer as well as save the log as a txt to upload to us (or for easy copy and paste) and as well as allows you to take screen shots and so forth. This might help you out finding the problem too as well as help us
So could you please give us these details to help you out even more?
Is this a Wi-fi only or 3g model that you bought?
Current Rom and Kernel (if I am wrong on the next two posts)
~Guess on Rom is: 2.1 hammerhead
~Guess on Kernal is: (I did not see where you said what the current Kernel was...)
Current Application List that Forces the Xoom to kill itself and reboot, even if it is just one... it might allow us to help you obtain a compatibility issue (if others are having the trouble with the same applications)
You had this trouble after you flashed the new ROMs, are the correct version? (aka Wi-fi only vs 3g romsm, cause there are 3g roms for Tiamat)
Did you clear the cache before and/or after you put the new ROMs on?
I hope we can get this resolved as soon as possible for you!
(links)
to get DDMS if you do not have it yet, please go here -- http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html -- and you will be able to get step by step walk through to get the SDK. You will need to launch in Terminal/Command Prompt (depending on the Computer Operating System that you use.)
Firts...a lot of thanks for your answer.
With original-stock rom all work all right. My machines arrived with 3.1 Honeycomb, and via OTA updated to 3.2 (HTJ85B).
With this roms, all work correctly. I installed a lot aplications and work allright. I root this rom, and all are working well.
If I try to install any rom from Tiamat, doing previous wipe, the rom runs perfect. I install Titanium to reinstall all my aplications, and all work well. I can work about hours without problems...but with this roms (with all tiamat´s kernel and launpad kernel...) in the moment I suspend, after 8 or 9 second the tablet reboot automatically.
I tried to do a clean install, and only install one aplication, like flash player...and all are ok. After it, install another one, and after it another...but at tirth or fourth there is the problem another time...and tried with diferent aplications. Sometimes the problem go after install flasplayer, sometimes after install RepliGo, sometimes after install dolphinHd...
The more stranger thing is that if a plug the tablet to pc, and make a "adb logcat"...if I suspend de tablet...no problem, no reboot.
It´s possible that mi gpu aren´t righ? I say this because I guess that when the system go suspend, the gpu frecuencies go down (or gpu voltajes) and this made machine reboot... and it´s possible with tiamat´s kernel voltajes and/or frecuencies GPU are diferent than in stock rom.
It´s possible flash a tiamat rom without customiced kernel??? If I could try a tiamat with stock kernel, or with gpu without variation in voltajes or frecuencies.
NOTE: sorry for my english

I would actually ask if you have your wifi set to go off when the screen is off. This is a known issue...unless the wifi sleep policy is set to Never, the Xoom may reboot when the screen is off. It could be as simple as that.
Oh oh...so many probes that I don´t Know if I change wifi policy or not
But I remember dont change this between flash and install all apks.
At this weekend I´ll probe it and say you, now I need stable tablet to work.
A lot of thanks.

New Purchase, best stable upgrade?

Hey all, buying an XT720 today.
Looking to get it up from 2.1
What is the most stable update at the moment?
I have done CM 6.1 on a HTC Dream, was pretty happy with it.. would like to get up to 2.3 on this..
Suggestions? I am using Wind Mobile in Canada for this phone if it makes a difference.
James
Hi
Their are choices cm6 is very stable
I would try flfalcon cm7.
Their are J.Y.Daddy cm7 these were made for the motorio to use these you would need to apply bootfix.
J.Y.Daddy even ported miui ics 4.01.
You need check out the development page.
Sent from my XT720 using xda premium
I also have a list of most of the ROMs and their +/-'s. Ill find the link and post it. I'm mobile now so can't find it that way.
Im on wind also and i truthfully find bravo the best.... everything is really stable and HD cam and whatnot works
Here is a somewhat dated list but a list nonetheless and here is the thread it came from.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298208

There are a host or ROMs for this phone right now and it is quite hard to narrow down to "The Best". Each as their own +/-'s and while one might be a monster in speed, it might have poor muti-tasking or bad camera. Here are some of the ROMs we have and some of the +/-'s they have (not all, just some +/-'s).
In no particular order other than the top came out first and bottom is the latest.
2.1 Stock - Came with the phone. You can falsh via RSDlite the sbf file for your region.
2.1 Stock~ESB (Eclair Strikes Back) - Same as above, but has aorking app2ext, camera, FM Radio. Still it is 2.1
Dexters 2.2 with MZ patch - First successful attempt to port 2.2 to our phones. All features of 2.2 but camera is sketch and FM radio doesn't work (unless you apply FJfalcon radio patch but then it is still loud), media button doesn't work.
Kahlpower's V2/3/4 - Optimized version of Dexters. Same issues as above but is more stable and generally was the choice as a "home" ROM for many users. I have my wife on this one as we speak. Low maintenance, a good everyday driver. Has App2ext/ Link2sd, native Froyo App2sd.
Cincinnati Bell's "official" 2.2 - More or less a glorified version of Dexters 2.2 but I think the Mioz7AE found a "listening" script that may or may not send info back to developer. I would stay away from this one. Plenty more to choose from.
Wanhu 2.2 (also Wanhu's Kahl's Optimized) - Korean port of 2.2. FM radio and camera does work. Number formatting is off. App2ext works fine as does native Froyo app2sd.
XDA Special/ Hellmonger Edition - This was moveing really well and then Hellmonger's phone crapped out on him and his carrier gave him an HTC Penache, so no more support for this one. But is DOES work and worth a try.
CM6 - our developer Mioze7Ae's masterpiece (for now until he moves on to something else) All the features of CM6, including themer. Has App2ext and Link2sd.
WIPs
Brianlili's Brovo 2.2 - This one is almost done, jsut a few little thing to finish it off.
JYDaddy's CM7 (nightly/ HoNo/ iceandfire...)
FJfalcon's CM7.1 (make massive progress daily on this one as it is being built from source).
Like I said there are +/-'s to each but the are all spelled out for you in the OP of each thread. Plus, unlike other phone forums, we actually answer your questions and dont respond with, "search".
Good luck and remember to always BACK UP.

Where is this Bravo??
Also I have rooted..
but I have not found a good guide on Openrecovery. (EDIT) got this done, went through ADB shell.
I unzip the the openrecovery to the sd card.. gives me openrecovery.zip a directory and an images directory.
SO then to flash a new rom I just put the .zip file in the updates directory.. and bingo bongo?
Going to try Cyanogenmod 7.1 first.. not sure where to find the brovo? bravo? mentioned.

All ROMs and Mods are in the Dev thread.
I vote for CM6 RC3 / RC4
it's by far the most stable & fast which allows you to run most resources intensive games

Nandroid and battery
I just bought an XT720 (Rooted and unlocked)
Is there any way to change the battery level increments from 10% to something more exact like 5% and how do we create a Nandroid back up?
I also want to install bravo2.2 do I need to do a factory reset before installing this rom?
I am running stock rom 2.1
Well if its Rooted, then you should have Open Recovery on it.
When you boot the phone hold VOL up and it will boot in OR...
or when you power off.. it should give you the option to reboot into RECOVERY.
There are lots of threads on here about OR .. but if you follow the menus you should be fine.. on an XT720 you push the camera button (big one) to accept a selection in the OR menu.
You can back up - which will save EVERYTHING.. a Nandroid backup is the best thing to store away somewhere should you mess up your phone.
YES you will have to loose everything when switching from 2.1 to (anything else)
If you are just updating to a newer build of something you put on.. then no.
You do the RESET and clear caches etc.. in OR.
Do a search its all on here .. usually the first page of whatever rom you want to TRY.
Have fun.
James
Thanks for the reply, time to install some rom's
Hilarious...after wading thru a few hundred pages of replies on this phone and the various roms, I completely missed your thread here James which is about as close to what I'm trying to accomplish as imaginable..
I posted some of my saga over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399242
Do you mind me asking James/BikerBob...how did you make out? Anything I should know (if you have a sec read my long winded post lol!)
Did you have 3G/Wifi switching issues with stock, or maybe you didn't bother testing that / noticed it..before rooting I mean..
thnks!
(don't know if mods merge threads in this forum but mine is probably a candidate! sorry!)

No, kernal(maybe driver) can't support 5% or 1% percentage battery level.
OK, so I decided that changing the SD card to a class 10 might help app usage ..
I copied the old sd card to the new one.. and if I try and get into OR .. I get the exclimation mark in triangle instead of the OR logo.
What do I need to do to get back into OR? do I need to RE-Root?
James
If you don't have it already, grab Mioze's modded OR for the xt720 & follow the instructions. If that's all you did was to switch sdcards there should be no need to redo everything.
Sorry, never mind the OR issue, my bad.
I have played with this too much.. lol.. get things mixed up..
I had the OpenRecovery.zip from one version mixed with the directory of the other..
Jezz
OR runs from the files on the sdcard (the openrecovery folder & openrecovery.zip) if something is corrupted (or missing) you wont be able to boot into OR.
