OK so im new here and new to downloading roms and things like that. So i Beleive i downloaded Android 2.2 NAND or something.(Please for give my lack of Tech Knowledge) But anyway i love it and everything but there are some things i noticed after i got it.
Some calls become distored(sound wise)
I can no longer connect to 3G or H...(Which means no internet!! unless with WiFi)
My Phone mounts as a disk drive so im not able to try and flash it! It cant detect the phone or something.
So because of this i was wondering if there was anyway to remove android and go back to My HTC LEO! Or a way to remove so i can re-install it??? I really dont want to have to buy a new phone!
Sorry if this was posted already. . . but i could not find a answer that helps.
PLEASE HELP !!!
Basically: what's bad ass? I know it's a general question, but it's the first thing I think of when I get a new device. First thing I did when I got a PSP? Figured out how to hack it/the firmware. iPhone? Jailbroke! Dreamcast (yeah even that far back)? Utopia!
So I kinda know what I'm talking about. But Android is such a huge/new thing to me, I have no idea where to start except maybe "rooting" which I've already done to the Captivate. However I know a little more than that, some friends of mine have Androids actually...
Anyways: I know you can modify the marketplace to get custom apps (which I'm assuming is being done by a custom rom), which is a concern of mine since I want to run my own appstore on it (not standalone, but hopefully you get what I mean) as well as develop apps. That stuff I can figure out, but this whole "flashing" ordeal has got me stuck. I'm trying to install the "MIUI" or at least that's what I think it is. here's the site (nevermind, new users can't post links...)
I'm stuck at basically step 4 of their instructions, but only because of step 5 and 6. Step 5 is for the CWM (which I can't figure out how to install, do I need a microSD?) and step 6 I'm confused on. The reason I'm confused is cause I'm on firmware 2.1-update1 and not 2.1. I see the difference, but is there an actual difference?
Any help would be awesome. I've been googling all night over this stupid stuff and want to get this phone up to par!

I was linked to that forum, and i need some information
I want to root and i also, can someone tell me if it is possible to get rid of my text messages in my call log, anways can someone answer these questions?
1) how do i make a file on the Internal xd? is that the sd card that you can go out and buy or is it the one that when you go on like file manager on android assistant or even my files, that is the main folder there?
2)what is the difference between a ROM and a KERNAL?
3)does kies work for anyone else? mine always says that my device isn't supported on kies... i have the rogers infuse. I wanna know this because i wanna be able to back my stuff up in case i screw it up
4)was that accelerometer fixed yet?
5)I am a beginner at this rooting stuff but i did jail break ipods alot so i know a bit but almost all the rooting abbreviations i dont know. Anyways i got a thread called [q] Rooting guide - Infuse 4g and i wanna know how to do the stuff in there... Like is just doing this kernal thing going to help me get rid of the text messages in my call log or over/underclock my phone and get better battery life... Please someone help me i wanna root but i dont wanna screw everything up
Someone can probably answer all your questions better then I but yeah for Lies you gotta use Lies mini that's the only one that actually works with the infuse 4g. To make a folder on the internal memory just plug the phone into your computer via USB and select connect to PC from the drop down menu etc .. open it up and just create a new folder. Really simple. I think you may even be able to make one if your phone is rooted. The Rom is a whole package of the os running on the phone, can include kernal, modem, theme and many other changes. (Someone could probably define it better but definitley check the forums for info on what a Rom is) can usually make the phone faster too. The kernal I think is the base for the phone, not sure how to explain it. Do not ever ruin the kernal or you'll get bricked or atleast bootloops. AS for rooting I haven't done this yet on infuse only on my captivate. Hope this helped.

I honestly dont understand a single thing.... i need somoene to like do a skype chat or msn to step by step me through it cause for some reason, i dont understand anything... and i cant find kies mini... is that supposed to be able to back up all my stuff? cause i want that, and of course samsungs site is tooo confusing and i cant find kies mini download links anywhere -.-
thanks for the help guys
Kies mini just gets you the drivers so that your computer recognizes your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793528
Just a google search away.
Just to be completely honest, other than rooting your phone, you may want to stop there. Adding customized features/roms to phones isn't for everyone.
I did web development for years and I still play it cautious when trying out new roms, modems and kernels.

for me when i got to the phone app, there is no call log, just says log... and it only has View by, delete and call duration... And view by only has all logs, miss calls dialed calls received calls, sent messages, and received messages... and delete can only delete everything, even if it could delete only text messages, i wouldn't wanna just have to do that constantly, cause i make alot of calls but i make like 20x more texts so i wanna just see my calls in what should be a CALL LOG... thanks for your input though
Howdy, Blaze'rs... Finally was able to get an account here, (have sprint-virgin mobile for comp, and YES ITS A T-MOBILE BLAZE).
So my first question is... Will I be able to log in via comp & phone when I go home? IE. Back to Sprint and T-Mobile.
Second, Where do I start? Want to help with this phone, it is my very first cel (and am not going to tell you how old I am, but guess old enough to be some of you's grandpa ). And I am hooked.
I would like to learn to make apps and other cool thingies for this Blazing Hot Intelligent phone.
Anyway, be safe and have fun.
Cool beans... sprint works...
Welcome! Not sure I understand your first question unfortunately.
As far as where to start I would start here:

Welcome too our small, yet quite functional community.
Diving into development I'd no small task, but we all welcome anyone eager to learn.
With ics releasing here hopefully in the coming weeks, I think people may be more interested in this phone

Funny how things work out. That link is on my Bookmark Bar. Only thing missing there is how to make the LOGCAT, get 404 error. Got the Dumbies ADB ready to read.
But mostly was looking for a place to start helping. Am guessing, testing, as I can mess up a wet dream, so Documents for Dumbies helper too.
Anyway be safe and have fun. LOL Farmville is going to miss me!!!
Might want to check out this thread as well....

Howdy, Now I have a few ???
And my head hurts and eyes are sore. Been reading, then reading some more. Search this and that, and read again. Just for the mod of the XDA Forum New User guide... Re-using my first post thread, instead of starting a new one.
Ok, question that is driving me nuts. "Directory Structure". Is there a template (of sorts) for sgh-t769, that will tell me what all that "junk" in /acct, /efs, yada yada, is? So I have a better idea what I can play with. (yes, I have several IAmADumyDroid backups)
Main bak is freash virgin root,cwm. Secondary is just after frying "DarkNight".
What I am wanting to do is put a few of MY FAVORITE games and apps in the system then back it up, so I don't have to keep re-installing them after I go try out one of the other ROM's. Yeayea, get this backup app or tat one works better. No they don't.
I keep a copy of everything rar'ed on my comp. Play yyyy game a day. Find something else, then week latter go back to yyyy. Only thing I can't seem to bak is the bak program. And a few times while playing with the roms, to fix it back, I have hade to re-format the sdcard.
Next, there has to be a better way to get this stuff back and forth between comp and phone. USB cable is pain and that keis just plain xxxx the big one. I have laptop with virgin mobile usb inet stick thingie and this cool phone. No routers, no cable modem, no land line phone. Comp does have wifi but unless I pay the shell gas station to hook up for an hour oh well. Wifi tethering just lets me use the phone for the comp's inet. And found a program for the comp that lets me go the other way.
Well that is enough for now. Time to go read some more...
Be safe and have fun.

Hello Everybody,
Im having a very frustrating experience. I just had my htc one x replaced by at&t after damaging the screen. I actually bought a new screen to put it on myself but when I was expressing nervousness about installing it (despite doing it fine before on a previous device) somebody else in my family called at&t and bought me a $99 replacement using the replacement plan as a present and a favor. It's the same exact physical phone as my old one, but things are different on it, and I don't like it. I figured out the issue is that the phone came shipped with HTC sense version of atleast 5 (found this by googling pics) while my old phone had 4. I like 4.. not 5.
Don't even get me started on why. Biggest thing is changing from 5 or 6 home pages to scroll through to only 3. I loved having the space. I never even used the app menu, haha.
Of course, looking it up now this seems to be a pain. Ive been sitting here for hours and this data is so hard to get through because of HTCs airheaded desicion to have 6 different phones with the same name. I feel like im going insane with contradictory info and google just not delivering due to the confusing names. I keep getting info for the desire x, too.
My main question is: I have an at&t htc one x and I need to downgrade to sense version 4. How do i do it, and can somebody point me to the correct video (preferred) or thread for this task for my phone? I don't care how much of a pain it is I will figure it out. I'm also terrified I can't do it because I've been hearing rubbish about the at&t version of this phone...
Im so frustrated. Isn't android based on linux? So why is everything so closed and proprietary? Open source being used to make money and force people to have one version of a program? Not having control over what I have on my device and being able to customize it how I choose to the point where I am forced into a new version of software I don't like? Oh and not to mention that I can't uninstall facebook and twitter which I don't use. I hate this. I loved my phone but this is making me so angry. This is the exact thing I HATE about certain electronics. I want to have things how I want them, it's mine. I'm picky. I like customizing all my things and having them to suit me. I'm a control freak with computers.... end rant.
Thank you very much for any help,
Nichyun

I dont think you quite understand how android works. You dont need to use the Sense homescreen if you dont want to. Install Nova Launcher (or any launcher) from the Play Store and you can customize it however you want. Theres no way to downgrade Sense without rooting. As for uninstalling Facebook and Twitter, you should be able to "disable" them in Settings>Apps. If you truly want an open experience with Android, you will have to root and install CyanogenMod, PA, SlimKat or one of the many other custom ROMs available. However, it is not something you can just follow a simple video to do. I'm not even sure the latest AT&T software is rootable. Someone else will have to chime in there.

I really dont get it, I guess thats why i posted here, ill admit that. Thanks for the info... I'll look into all of that. I don't want to try to root the phone though, I' rather get used to it, I suppose. I dont want to mess it up, not worth it. It is frustrating to me that I cant delete certain apps because they're really big and there is no sd card slot in this phone so I run out of memory. I feel like facebook and twitter is everywhere it pushes itself on people which bothers me...
I guess this question could be considered answered because I figured out I dont want to do it any more.

Apps installed on the phone do not take up your main phone storage. There are two separate disk partitions. The first one is ~2GB and holds your OS and applications. The second is ~10GB and holds your pictures, videos, external app data etc. Thats what an SD card would add on to if we had one. Installing more apps (that don't have extra parts, games often do for example) won't take up anymore of that space though. (however it is possible to install apps to the SD card) Anyways, like I said you can go into settings and "disable" any apps you don't want to show up in the app drawer anymore.
