Can someone put light on this.....i am looking for your help dears....

its a great phone and i am using it know.Technicaly speaking its a phone that states its camera is 3mp on its backcover but mine is a newer android 2.1 version that motorola recalled it to change its camera sensor.It is shown in the camera launcher which says 5mp.It is pretty similar to the htc legend and i like it as the ui is very fast!It is so far very good and fast.No lag and it is very customisable.It can put almost any widget and at this price,It really is better then any phone even better then the legend.It also has a unscratcheable screen as it is gorilla glass!Its processer is 600mhz and that makes it alot better then the wildfire which loses in every way to the xt3!There is no 2.2 rom yet!But no features will be lost!And i am also a user of the iphone and i dumped it cos this is alot better if you know how to use it to its potential!Battery life is very good and can last a whole day with heavy youtube+web+Music+video usage!Get the phone!You will not be dissapointed!Make sure you get the android 2.1 version as there were two versions of it!

Hey Thanks Alisterrox....Thats great help....much much appriciated...
actually i already bought it - Motorola quench xt3.
i felt its good and the speed also good.....everything is fine...i played few games .....it went smooth.
also i have googled about 2.2 upgrade....few people have upgraded to froyo....which is cynagen mod.
if you know how to root our device...that will be helpful for me....there are few method ...i don't know which one works fine...
if you have rooted your device..pl. give some direction also if you have installed any theme or rom...please guide me how to do that
i hope i am not asking you somuch...
cheers

Root problem
Don't mention it!I did not root my phone as i have heard rumors that an official froyo update is in Feburary!I am sorry for the slow reply!As for cynagen mod it is the orange boston class which means you can try the mod in the class of the HTC legend or HTC Hero!I'm sorry if i am of not much help.However if you like the Samsung Galaxy S theme i have the file and i am gonna leave it here if you want!

Thanks alisterrox...thanks for your help....i already have installed Cyanogen mod 6.1.2 on my system....i didn't know that there will be a official update of 2.2....i could have waited for some time....even the installed cyanogen mod, i am not feeling its good....the touch resposive become bit lagish and the speed is very similar to 2.1...the battery drains early(this is the big issue).....the only benifit is i can install app on my SD card thats all.
between the file which you have attached here....how i can use...can i use 'rom manger to install ?
Thanks
Cheers

It is an apk technically speaking u just place the file in your sd card that will do the trick.You can use any app installer.As for the sluggishness of the mod it is expected as it is a general rom which may not be built for this phone specifically.....i will try probably to write a froyo rom into it if i have the time while i port a htc rom or any rom i can get hold of!Maybe dext motoblur rom as the specs are pretty similar!

Thanks alisterrox...whish you very very happy new year...i will try the theme and let you know....if you buil any rom please let me know...
also i have noticed that ...cyanogenmod people have ported the Gingerbread rom to our devices...pl. do check

Cheers

ThanQ
I m screwed up with my pretty old HTC Touch.. I am looking for best of HTC Wildfire, Samsung Galaxy 551, Motorola Quench XT3, LG Optimus1 P500, Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8..
but after seeing this thread and other threads I will definitely go for Motorola Quench XT3. Only one question how is the display colors and resolution compared with others ?
ThanQ

@ kbmkreddy
according to me ....Motorola quench XT3 is best buy...
Screen quality is better than any other mobile in this category ....(you can check the specification and compare...XT3 is best in class).
i would recommend do check LG optimus 1 p500 also...this is also a pretty good mobile.
cheers

Posting of guide
Well I will post my guide tmr.btw cyanogen has released build 31 alr.not sure how much improved it is but I guess it should be better on the battery(it's horrible on build 28).oh pls give me a link to any official froyo Rom?or link to firetrap's rom?I intend to see which is better on battery and performance as I prefer a quick plain and battery efficient rom.cheers and I will give a detailed guide tmr asap.cheers!

hey here by i have attached few froyo rom's for our device....these are works fine without draining much battery...
i would recomment you to try 'jellybean' 'Apanda' & firetrap rom's to test..
http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2011/01/rom-22-official-apanda-a60-rom-22.html
Bug: 1. there may be a chance to loose IMEI ...also 2. registering the network in the beginning is very slow 3. App2SD is not so good...you can't move everything.
http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2011/02/rom-22-flphfiretrap-jellybean-221.html
bug: when ever you do in setting menu changes....will be restored to the factory setting whenever you restart. but one of the best rom i have ever used.
http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2011/02/rom-22-android-bakpia-cokelat-221.html
bug: it says official rom for XT502 but whenever i install through SUT...it shows some error...but works fine...App2SD is not so good.
http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2011/01/rom-22-official-foxconn-rom-22_28.html
bug: IMEI issue, Have to root, for some device...will be locked...
http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2011/01/rom-22-firetrap-twonights-221.html
bug: App2SD is not good, I didn't like the dialer but this is the 2nd best rom i have used.
hope i have helped you.
cheers

Tried rom
I have tried all but the best so far is the official 2.2 xt502 rom with gingerbread ui.it's very stable fast allows the installation of apps to sd card.also the kernel 2.6.32.9 is way u will want if u want superb battery life and great speed.cyanogen of course is faster but it gives horrible battery life.apanda's and foxconn rom's are very good generally.but I heard the clock speed is capped mostly at 480mhz.apanda's are 600mhz but don't worryfficial Rom usually have no imei fault whatsoever.oh if u are facing problems with any rom that gives u other region setting(that's wat I got with the official rom) just go android market and dl the regional settings app.I suggest the official rom bcos it's made for our phones and u will not get things like commitiva z71 or any other orange boston clones;it say xt502.Apps2sd works fine here if u do a custom partition;I did it and it works fine.generally if u like firetrap has good rom.but recent roms also built on the official rom such as the balakaila rom have the same stable kernel.look for those as they are special kernel for our phone.oh error codes on sutlr are very common as we had clockwork mod to install cyanogen b4...thus it works wierdly.I have been fiddling around and I will most probably attempt rom building on the 2.6.32.9 kernel with no root.complete stock will give good performance.besides the gingerbread ui is gorgeous so try that out!it even has smart dialing enabled unlike other rom's.it make dialling a dream unlike the previous roms mentioned.cheers!maybe we should request for a thread specially for our xt502!

Hi alisterrox,
Where do I get the official update to 2.2 mentioned in your last post? I'm running stock 2.1 rom on my XT502 and need to update specifically for apps2sd and such other features.
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my Motorola-XT502 using XDA App

@ pamfu ...Official rom i have attached in my post...the first link is the official rom for our device(not exchatly xt502 rom but its official rom for similar variant.....i guess you know...its just a brand name...everything else are same).
@ alisterrox ...Thanks man....even i thought the same....official rom are fine to use..its very stable.......
since you have knowledge about rom's...you should cook some rom for our device....we should ask seprate thread for our XT502....that will be very much helpful
Cheers

rom building and guide
well i am waiting for the 2.4 sdk to come out b4 i try anything....oh if u want to know how to update to the 'official rom',the steps are
Flashing non cyanogen rom
Step 1ownload and install the SUTLR to your computer(link to dl:http://uploading.com/files/7942c5ef/SUTLR_v1.7.0.zip/)
Step 2ut the phone in download mode -> red call button + vol up + power.Rmb to download the rom u want on ur computer and unzip it.It is a nbo file.
Step 3:In SUTLR ,choose the option "erase user data"
Step 4:Click flash rom.wait a while and it should work.
Step 5o not worry about the errors u get after flashing.Just go ahead and boot ur phone up.After the motorola badge u will get the green android robot.It should boot up.
Step 4:If u dont like the chinese root explore use system app remover to clear file and dl the full version using applanet
Rmb to always backup ur rom!
If problems persist with booting(applies to most roms)
Step 1:Go into recovery mode(power+vol up+camera button)
Step 2:Using trackball or volume buttons,select wipe cache and wipe user data(select button is camera button,back is power button)
Step 3:Go into advanced settings and select wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stats
Step 3:It should work.If there are problems feel free to ask.
Rooting ur phone if u are still on stock 2.1 and want cyanogen
Step 1:Using the universal androot apk provided,install it to ur phone.Click root after installation and opening the app
Step 2ownload rom manager.U can use the market but u can dl the premium version using applanet which is a app that provides paid apps free.
Step 3:In rom manager,flash clockwork mod recovery.
Step 4:Back up ur rom by selecting it in the app.
Step 5l the cyanogen rom u want.Rmb to download gapps or google apps.
Step 6ut the rom rar file into ur sd card root folder.Rename the cyanogen rar file as update
Step 7:Go into recovery mode again.Select the flash 'update.zip' option.
Step 8:After complete,clear all user data,cache and everyting as mentioned b4.
Step 9:Reboot ur phone.U should get the cyanogen mod robot.If stuck at the motorola badge dont panic.refer to the help at the top of this post.
Step 10:Ur done!But rmb to download the latest google apps to ur phone.Its the same way put the gapps mdpi to ur root folder.This time dont rename it.just select flash zip from sdcard.after complete u will get the latest google apps.
Step 11:Voila u are done!
If u have anything such as removing apps from ur phone that u dont one but cnnt semm to uninstall it feel free to ask.I will do my best to help.

Hi Alisterrox,
I'm using official XT502 with 2.3 UI rom too, it worked good so far. But why everytime I restart my phone my internal memory always reduced a little ? I used app2sd with ext3 partition in external. Did it happen too in yours ? Thank you.

@alisterrox
You really rock man! Such flawless instructions! My XT502 upgraded in flat 5 minutes!
THANKS THANKS THANKS ..... MANY THANKS!

[Q] Camcorder doesn't work quite right on my HTC HD2 android 2.2

I have since a few days android 2.2 on my HTC HD2. Since yesterday works my camecorder not right. When I want to make a video is evereything normal. BUT when I want to stop it, everything disappears. I can't do anything only going back to home with the home button. And when I go back to my camcorder there is only a black screen. I can't make videos or photo's than.
I've searching long and I think I must update my ROM..is that correct??? But I don't know where I can find it...
How can I fixe this?? please help..
thx

it is probably due to camcorder not working in most android roms (apart from much earlier ones).
Not much you can do about it, but check out the rom thread.

OKaay...but how I know which ROM I need?? And where can I find it??

In the HD2 forum under Android you can find much rom's. Take a look at the nand rom from Dorimanx or the Typhoon rom from tytween. There are also instructions how to install that rom.

you can find here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=928

All right thanks both . but... I have android 2.2, doesn't matter if I take the one of typhoon or Dorimanx?? because it says that's android version 2.3.3. and android version 2.3.5

No that doesn't matter. You can install any android nand rom that is made for the hd2 on your HTC HD2.
But when you install another rom, make a back-up from your data. Because you're gonna lose it if you switch to a different rom.
I have the rom from Dorimanx on my phone and that works great.
But you can decide for yourself which rom you want.

Many thanks m8 !!

I want Dorimanx to...but I can't find where I can download the ROM :$

And which one....

I hvae found it i think...but wat's mirror 1 or mirror 2?? and when I click on downoad there comes a list of roms, which one should I take??

I have found it I think...but wats the different between mirror 1 and 2?? and when I click on download there comes a list with ROMS. Which one is correct??

loll... i have typ it twice xd

somee helpp please?? I want Dorimanx ROM but.. I don't know HOW to do this... Can somebody help me?? I have already android 2.2 on my htc hd2

samsung galaxy 3 problems after upgrading to 2.2

i upgraded my samsung galaxy 3 i5801 firmware to android 2.2 about a month back from samsung kies
here are the problems i encountered
the inbuilt launcher doesnt works-
it simply doesnt after a lot of pain i managed to get the launcher pro working
no matter how much i charge the battery usually after 1-2 hours of usage it shows a low battery warning and automatically shuts down but when i restart it the battery is back to either 100% or 50%
and my galaxy 3 is slower than ever
it takes 5-6 mins to load the gallery
god knows what happened to my cell phone it was working normaly with the stock 2.1 rom that came preloaded with the phone didnt expect it from samsung
is there anyone else over here who has faced similar problems
whats the best possible remedy??
is there a fully functional tried and tested custom 2.2/.3 firmware that is compatible with indian samsung galaxy 3 if so enlighten me
regards
ashish saluja

Flash ddjp6 is indian 2.2 latest upgrade or xxjpu is the europe version.calibrate your battery after flashing new rom with the help of battery calibrator.
Edit: plz.flash the rom with the help of odin multidownloader.if your battery is more than year old then you have to replace it,but before that try to full charge the battery when it is completely drain and then calibrate the battery.

I got SGS + and I am not satisfied. No official update (2.3.5 only.). Here in the forum I have read and saw that there are very few good ROMs and each has a bug. Before I had the Samsung Nexus S I was super happy. The best programs I had on the Nexus was TeamGummy, CM9, WildestPixel and all were perfect with no bugs. And my question is how to make such a good rom for SGS +. I'm just a user and I'm not an expert to do a rom. Sorry for my bad English?

The problem is that we only have a few Dev's for Galaxy s Plus, because it's not very popular.
But now ontopic
I am running Simplistic Plus F2 on my galaxy s plus. Its very smooth and lite
Do you mean the Wifi Bug? Its because Samsung is not able to create a working driver :/

Thank you for your response. Should be the successor to the highly successful i9000 so I got it. I have not even looked at the forum as there Roms for SGS +, because I thought when I get it I'll be able to put the new ICS 4.0.4 without problems and bugs. But I was wrong.
My cell phone is not even root, but I'll do it and try to put a rom and see how it works.
And thinking about selling SGS +, so I buy another one.
So as I read the forums every rom SGS+ has a wifi or camera bag ... With the Samsung Nexus S had no bugs.
Do you know whether Samsung may launch a new official update for SGS + or someone else to be told if you have any information. Thank you.

[Q] How to Root Samsung Galaxy S 4G and Install Jelly Bean 4.3 (CyanoGenMod)

Hi Guys,
I am an IT person, but totally new to Android. I am having Samsung Galaxy S 4G (T959v) running GingerBread (2.3.6).
I had upgraded from Froyo to GingerBread using Kies mini... and since that I am facing a lot of issues running... like slow responsiveness, phone hangs, some times unable to make calls, very high RAM usage etc...
So to fix these issues, I am thinking to install custom ROM (Jelly Bean 4.3 - CyanogenMod 10.2). But I don't know how to do that.
What I read on thread is it first needs to ROOT the device, but I am not sure how to ROOT the device.
Please help me to ROOT the device in easy steps and install custom ROM.. (Off course without bricking my device )
Thanks.

Look at the second link in my signature. Instead of flashing the whole package just flash AntonX's kernel. Read the first couple of posts in the Heimdal thread and you will hopefully know what I am referring to.
From there, follow the directions in the OP of the ROM thread that you would like to flash. The OP will also tell you what works and does not work for that ROM.

I would suggest making a backup copy of your efs folder for the just in case..
