[Q] Is there any way to improve the accelerometer in a phone? - General Questions and Answers

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum.
I was wondering if it's possible to increase the accelerometer speed in a phone? I have a Huawei u8100 from Wind Mobile in Canada.
Specs are:
Android 2.1 (as far as I know it is not upgradable to 2.2.)
clock speed of 528 MHz
I find the rotation on the phone to be quite slow compared to other models. Is there anything I can do to improve that? Just an fyi, I've never rooted a phone before and have no clue how to do it but I'm willing to learn if that's what it would take.
Thanks a lot

Welcome to forums
On my experience cooked ROM´s made by great Chefs @ XDA have always presented much better ROM´s than the "original" ones, so I would try to root my device and try any of them (not sure if your device is covered in here)
Also you can see if there is any over clocking tool for your model.
Good luck,

I think that comes inbuilt and cant be changed, but hey i coudl be wrong

Could you please point me to a link where I could find these roms?
Also, are there instructions on this site for noobs on how to install a new rom?
Thanks!

Your device is not covered in XDA sadly

Ahh ok, thanks anyway.
Does anyone know if changing the ROM would even help, assuming I was able to find a new ROM on another site? Or is it a hardware issue and not something I can improve?
Thanks!

XDA Orbit / PC Software

Good Morning to all
As you may or may not be aware i am new to this forum and i would just state that i am not an XDA developer of any kind yet ? ( not sure how i become one or if i can ,
I have a question in relation to the subject of this post i was just wondering if anyone knew of an Internet site where i can download the install software for my XDA , i have the new XDA Orbit and i am trying get it working with my work pc i have the usb cable provided with the pack but forgot to take the install cd :-( with me to work in the morning i i was hoping there would be somewhere i could source this install file/data from ???
Anyway i hope i have posted my query in the right place and thanks in advance for any help
You require Activesync from Microsoft.
XDA software
Hey m8 thanks very much for the info i did find this software but was not sure if thats what i need , thanks for the clarification and quick repsonse
Just out of interest as i said i am enw to this forum and also to XDA(s) i notice you tag
Quote "ROM 2.21.4.1 WWE
Radio 02.07.10
EXT ROM 2.21.4.101
OMAP Overclocked
I was just wondering does "OMAP Overclocked" mean that i/u r able to over clock the CPU on my XDA Orbit ?
And 1 other question i hope you dont mind but how much does upgrading the firmware help the function of the device ( i am not sure this will matter for me that much seen as the Orbit is fairly new and they probably dont have an upgrade for the firmeware yet but for future reference it would be helpfull to know ?
Once again thanks for all the info and advice and sorry for all my nagging questions

You are welcome.
With regards to overclocking have a look here and here but make sure that you read the literature thoroughly.
With regards to firmware I would suggest doing some reading on this Forum. I use the stock o2 Mini S ROM and have no problems with it. I have stripped all the o2 stuff out. A lot of people use custom 'cooked' ROMs, many of which may be found within the FTP. It's not something that has concerned me as I have no problems with the ROM I am using. If it ain't broke, don't fix.

ROM upgrade for Dell Axim X51V, WM5 A12

Hi all,
I would like to upgrade the ROM on my device.
I am aware that there are no official ROMs out there, so I was wondering if you could recommend the best ROM around here for my device.
Also, I would very much appreciate you advice on the best way to perform the upgrade itself.
Please excuse my basic questions, I am very new at this.
Thank you very much !

WM5 A12 IS official. However, you'll want to go straight for for either makuu's or LennySH's WM6.1 ROM's. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384900

Thank you very much.
In the link that you have posted I saw a section referring to my device, with a recommendation for something called:
" makuu's A06 privß06p "Pure" "
but I saw no reference to "LennySH's WM6.1 ROM.
1. Do you second that recommendation or do you think I should go for LennySH's WM6.1 ROM?
(As a general preference, I would rather have a ROM without bundled applications inside)
2. Do you happen to know where I can find a link for LennySH's WM6.1 ROM that will fit my device?
Again, please excuse me if my questions sound silly, it's just that I am very new at this, and I'm afraid to make a stupid mistake that will brick my device.
1. The lenny link is posted in an update
2. Don't be afraid - just do what is done in the youtube video
OK, thanks, I found the LennySH link.
Which version should I opt for - LennySH or Makuu ?
Is there a way to upgrade without using a SD card but by using a PC EXE file?
Thanks again for you assistance

[Q] experiences with the different ROMs.....any tipps ?

Hallo here in forum
today i want to flash my "new" htc tytn2. a friend gave it to me as present, because he had his new i-phone.
he told me, that he already flashed a few roms (from xda-dev) on the phone, so i think i can use the "Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)"-guide from STEP 5 to flash my new baby...... am i right ??
i mean i dont need to do the hardSPL-part, right ?
im just going to doublesheck a few things here, because i dont want to do no mistake.
then he told me, that i just should look witch is the most popular rom (i think he ment the thread with the most posts or clicks.)
i followed his hint and found the "HyperDragon IV Mega"-rom
but then takin a closer look i realised that the links to the rom are down:
"...Admin edit: links removed due to legal complaint from microsoft...."
hmm,....i know it is hard to say "witch is the best rom"...but can anyone give me his special tip.
i think it is not a good way to just take the rom with the most posts in the supportthread, because it is possible, that a rom just lunched and is better than olders,etc.
is there any thread with a list of most popular roms and a discussion about them ???
greetings revnu
105 views and noone has an idea ?
isnt there a list of all roms and a kind of ratingsystem to make it easier for someone to decide wich rom to try out ?

There is unwillingness to do any kind of rating, etc. out of respect for the chefs and their hard work, which is voluntarily done.
I know how it is to come to this scene for the first time. You've read the flashing guide. That's good. Take a look at the various offerings. Consider the features. Read the comments. There are a lot of excellent roms to try. Some are lite, so you can add features to your liking. (probably something you should try later after you become more familiar with the flashing scene) Some are loaded according to the cook's taste. After a few tryouts you might even become a flashing junkie.
Good Success!
ok i understand.
at time i have the black styluz mod. i dont know wich version, but i have to flash a new rom because my version have bugs.
im going to flash the black styluz v5 because i dont have a clue wich rom could be good
but i think there are a few roms out there wich a very popular, because they have win6,5 or other things.
okok i try to tell it in short:
I AM NOT ABLE TO DECIDE WICH ROM TO TAKE BECAUSE THEIR ARE TO MUCH AND THEY HAVE NO STRUKTURE
from my later experiences then flashing older phones i always found such thing is a "list of avabable roms".... is their such a threath ?
sry 4 bad english
"list of available roms" . . . For the most part, that is what this forum is. All Kaiser roms found on XDA are listed here, on a thread by thread basis. You mentioned bugs. . . You'll have problems on many if you don't flash to a stock rom first. Each cook offers the recommended procedure for flashing their rom. Their recommendations are worth following.
ur right....im sry
ill check few roms and decide ma own. till now i had experience with black stylus.
the error i had (could not send sms) was because of my handyprovider...
anyway i now flashed the newest black stylus (full) over the older sylus version......without flashing to a stock rom first. i read the instruktion on his site, but i think i missed the part...
Once you become a little more familiar with things it won't be so troublesome. I hope you will enjoy it. The ol' Kaiser is sinking into the sunset, but it is still a great phone, and many of these roms bring out the best this device has to offer.
Good success to you. . .
There are so many to try? It's good. You will not get bored by your phone!
First, read through the FAQ & Wiki. Even if you don't have to do unlock and HardSPL anymore..
It's very important to read more than do more in the beginning.
Enjoy your TyTn II. I use it as 'PC' and dial into my older SE M600i that acts as bluetooth modem. The reason is that I have bought data plan for that SIM card, and I don't want to swap my current SIM card on my working phone (TyTn II) to older phone, but want to use the internet update from that data plan. Tricky, but it works!
I don't know if any other platform can do the same.

[Q] How to port from a device with different hardware?

Hey XDA,
I have been around for a while, gone through two phones and have had no problems rooting, flashing ROMs, etc. thanks to all of the amazing people on the site. I have come to a point though, that I am interested in learning to port ROMs (and maybe even build a ROM from AOSP, but I am taking this one step at a time). I have looked all over the Chef Central -> Android section and the Q & A section and have been unable to find a solid guide on porting ROMs from a device with different hardware than the device you want to port to. I am sorry if this has been answered elsewhere and I try to contribute as much as I can. I hope I am not inconveniencing anyone too much. If a thread already exists that can help me out, I would greatly appreciate a link, then you can close this thread.
I am only trying to port between the ATT and internation GS3s, so it shouldn't be too hard, right?
The ROM I am trying to port is PA 2.99 beta8.
Thanks,
#TekGadgt

I will give it a go! Thanks. I had noticed this one, but was unsure if it would work between devices with different hardware. I see now that it does. I will work on that ASAP. One more question though, what do you do about devices with different resolutions? I noticed the guide is for devices with the same resolution.

General information about flashing unknown devices

Hey, I wonder if someone can give me some detailed information about what is important when flashing some unknown devices. I've read one important thing is the CPU has to fit to the ROM. So after some research I found for example cm11 for allwinner A31 CPUs. however I'm a little confused . is is really that simple to have a fitting cpu or do I have to think about other stuff as well? And how is it with cwm? Can I flash any cwm or does it also has to be a specific one?
It'd be nice if someone could point out the most important stuff or maybe give me a beginner friendly link, cause I didn't find something what makes everything clear to me.

There is a lot of things to be consider.

You cannot flash ROM just by only checking CPU. Each ROM is device specific and must not be flashed on another device. It will probably brick your device.
Here is a guide about flashing ROM in general.

Well actually I thought so, I'm used to it cause of my galaxy s2. I just wonder how it works with Roms for unknown devices cause often the ROM isn't made for specific devices.
Looking at this site for example:
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/874...inner-a31-by-christiantroy-update-2013-11-30/
It looks for me as if I could flash it but I know there is more than CPU so I'm confused. In another forum (something with China devices) I also read it's possible not flash stuff not belonging exactly to ur device. Trick would be to take care for some specific specs.
Well idk. Actually I wouldn't even search for something like that if my stock system wouldn't be so buggy

Okay. But I don't think you can flash ROM even searching something common between two devices. Because there's more to it then just those similarities. Because sometimes even variants of the same mobile phone does need some changes in the ROM to work properly.
