Ok Jesterz,
I love the latest ROM release. But I have to say, Having the Joker cheesing back at me everytime i Re-Boot my phone is shall we say, way to reminiscent of a bad Batman Movie. So before I break out in "...golly-gee wilickers Batman, the Jokers has taken control of my Bat-Phone..." I need your help in not just changing the splash to a generic HTC screen but, to something a bit more palatable.
Oh great yuck-Meister, I am your canvas...paint me.
please read his posts and his description before asking. most of the time he already thought of your problem. It's better to read his posts so you know the rom and the tools, instead of going to ftp directly and download them without any knowledge other than the file name.
anyway, like i said he already thought of the problem

although true, I've already Pm'ed Mr. Wayne
and yes, I've release a "normal" splash screen updater
however I will create a wiki page on how-to do a custom splash screen soon
First, I'm playing to get AKU 3.3 running on the prophet

That means I know how to put up the generic HTC. I want to customize a boot splash as well. I am familiar with the tools but I am asking for help from some one who knows a bit more than myself. Thank you for your input.
Hi Jesterz
Did you ever release b5 for the g4, just curious....

wow, i am soooo sorry. hahaa i was in a hurry to defend jesterz. because i am very grateful for his work on all these ROMs (and i'm sure you agree with me). and I feel he shouldn't be bothered with such simple questions he answered/posted before (and such simple question = my misunderstanding of yours, my apologies).
anyway, here's the link for your real question, and i hope i understood yours correctly this time.

sorry again
Hi,
Is there any person or developer who can port CyanogenMod Rom on our Defy?
Or do you guys have any idea regarding this? How can we attract the attention to any developers towards our Defy?
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/screenshots
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/
CyanogenMod Rom works on Droid. So That should work on our Defy as well.
Looking forward to hear your ideas guys......
We need a recovery first
How can we get that recovery?
Wait for it to be sorted - it will come, just got to be patient
What does it really mean that we need recovery and why? Please explain in a way that a noob can get it.or diect me to a place to read thanks!
Bcs recovery is needed to get the modded ROM onto the DEFY!
You need to replace/modify allot of things and this is not as easy as getting a non market app onto your mobile
And i guess there are much more people looking for a 2.2 or perhaps 2.3 then waitin for a CyanogenMod Rom!?

The modded recovery is out... Please Cyanogen make a miracle...!
my main phone is a G2, and have yet to run a CM rom, I'm, more then happy with what we have so far for the Defy, and thanks everyone efforts, if someone ports an OEm Sense Rom over this way well that's another story lol
You know what I am with the guy above. Im loving what I got so far. And in the new year I will probably do my own custom rom. I am not in any rush to get 2.2 at the moment, and im getting an android tablet today so hack time is being diverted to that

HI, how can we do that?
I would like to help all to get a working custom rom.
But where can i get the information?
No idea how i can create a own rom.

On several websites there a only manuels about HTC roms, and online kitchen.
But no with motorola sets.
Please help a send information how.
THANKS!!

Google, you need to be prepare to read - alot.
Everything I have learnt is from googling - all the various android forums.
Hi, i asked google a lot, but can´t find a realy gooo anser what excatly todo.
I can compile my own rom from source, but what is with driver?Firmware?
How i implement this?
Is the bootloader locked the same way as it is on milestone, droid x and droid 2? Or is it hack friendly and we can load any custom kernel?
I missed this thread before.
I would love to see CM's rom on the Defy. In fact I would have no problem donating to the individual who makes it happen
no way!
No one wants to hack the defy!
Would easy i guess for a realy hacker.
But no one do it.
All want to give motorola devices back or won´t buy it.
Poor.

Very different phone dude, you can find a new defy for 290€, seems the Lg Optimus 2x will be around 550€ ... that's really expensive
Not true. Several people already have.

And ofcourse, if you find yourself in any situation where your phone might get wet or dropped, there's no point in comparing them.
Until froyo(kernel) is released by motorola, we can "only" have a CM5 port for the defy.
It would be great trying froyo kernel without any modules and having them replaced by DEFY ones... Doing that we would know if motorola uses the same key for all the androids
Hi people,
Does anyone know about this thread? http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=3406
Came to this link through a post from a brazilian blogger who says this is compatible with Milestone 2 (A953), but I'm not sure about that...
The poster says this is an "official Gingerbread leak" and it looks real... but after reading half of the replies (that's over 14 pages!) I still don't know if this is meant for A953 too - the pics and information only refer to A956 (Droid 2 Global / Verizon).
My question is: may I try this file in my Milestone 2 (A953) or will I brick my phone?
Thanks!
The main reason why we didn't have a GB rom for so long is because D2 roms aren't compatible with M2. You can flash them, and the phone will boot, but GSM radio won't work and there is no fix. But fortunately we already have our own GB leak, and there are some good ROMs based on it.
Nice! Thanks for your quick response, I will notify the poster of that blog.
Just one last question: is this statement true? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16914333&postcount=7
Thanks!
Why the double post?
My bad. I didn't know where to ask about this then decided to create a new thread, dumb choice, because after that I came across the other thread.
So, if applicable, mods please delete this one

Maybe...
As I know GSM on D2G is just a plugin to CDMA.
Well Mile2 has a mapphone_cdma.init.rc (something like that) script on the kernel, someone has to try it out.
Sent from my Milestone 2 XDA App
Right... so I'll leave this to the pros, because I wouldn't know even where to start
And does this discussion bring any new ideas to the existing Gingerbread on M2 efforts? I've been watching this development section for a while and noticed that there are many mods based on the chinese leak, but I haven't seen anything mentioning this so-called "official leak"...
The original thread in rootzwiki.com is recent (first posted in Aug 21) and I thought that this could be useful for you developers.
I own my M2 for about a month now and I still don't know much about hacking its system. So I can't help as much as I would like to.
Thanks again!
Why posting here? This isn't development at all. Also..the name thread..be careful with the acronyms
before i go on im just going to say, YES i have checked everything i possibly could and didnt work,
Anyways i moved to the Inspire after getting rid of my old phone, i have no idea on how to flash a custom rom. can some one please help me, like i already have the custom ROm i want and all i just need a way to get the Flash recovery or Clockwork to work,
PS: my phone is not rooted , the one click root program always stops working when i try and do it.

What you'll need to do is download the Ace Hack Kit, but unfortunately it has been suspended due to mistreatment on the forums. So you'll have to find another method of downloading it, or I'll ask him if I can post it.
After having your phone rooted, you can THEN go into CWM and flash your custom ROM
U can download it from the Desire HD forum, its the same

No you can't. attn1 took it off of there too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377119
attn1's post is #7
I think that's what triggered it in the first place.
It was nice while it lasted. OP - You'll need to find someone who has the latest hack kit uploaded somewhere else to share with you. Note: attn1 has taken down his IRC and will no longer be supporting his hack kit - so you're on your own except for the minor assistance the community might be able to provide
Ah - Post 10 - alternative root, s-off method:

You mistakingly got thanked for that - lucky dog.
Read the "Effen Manual". From what I recall seeing in the hack kit thread the password should be in there. This was to ensure users were READING
Also, make sure you read the FAQ section in the "effin manual" since that will provide vital information regarding where the password is in the hack kit folder.
If you still need the most up to date hack kit PM me and I can provide it to you.
I just dont understand why the download was taken off. All he has to do is no longer support it and not respond to questions/answers that he may deem as unfit for the development section.
From what i read in the thread it appears there was just a simple misunderstanding as far as the use of the development forum rather than using the Q/A section along with a user questioning the possibility that the hack kit is not perfect.

This x1298540928756 (however it's his software and he can do with it as he pleases)
However it looks like JSL's procedure essentially does the same thing, but it's not in a "1 step" GUI like attn1's was. It's more closely resembles versions of the hack kit before attn1 started the GUI
Edit: I bet this (http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-htc-desire-hd/) irked him too. A) no credit to attn1 in this article B) Let's be honest, how many times have we seen attn1 tell people to stop watching videos and read the effen manual?

XDA = development site, not hold my hand I'm a noob help me site. It's because of complaining like this that got the development for the hack kit and attn1 to stop in the first place. If you think rooting this phone is impossible, then stop now before you destroy your phone. The link to do it the old fashion way was posted above, please read it, learn it and apply it if rooting still seems like something you wanna do. Educating yourself before you destroy your phone shouldn't be that hard or that much to ask. I can't wait to see the butt hurt response from this...more and more the Inspire forums are being overrun with these type of threads...I understand why attn1 got fed up.

Yes, attn1's hack kit was the 'easiest' method available. Hopefully, if he can get some assistance with supporting it, he'll re-release it (follow thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377119&page=3) In the mean time, you can go here (http://driphter.com/index.php?topic=3867.0) and follow the process described (which has been suggested multiple times in this thread). This is essentially the way attn1's hack kit started, before he started making it idiot proof (not calling anyone names, that's just how it is). Many, many users were able to successfully root/s-off using attn1's 'long' method before he started developing his GUI, but if this seems too over-the-top for you then maybe you should rethink the idea of rooting. Hopefully attn1 will re-release his easy to use hack kit, but with the frustration he's dealing with having to put up with users who want to be spoon fed this information is understandable, and I don't blame him in the least bit for pulling it - whether temporary or permanent
IMHO - there should be no 'root method for dummies'. You're messing with integral parts of the system when you're doing this and there is potential to permanently damage your phone. If you don't want to learn what the process is actually accomplishing, you shouldn't be doing it in the first place. Is there a specific reason you want root/s-off?

This has been covered, there is no need to provide anymore links or reiterate what has been said in this thread numerous times or in any of these "OMGZ WHERE DID THE HACK KIT GOOO HELPP MEEE" threads. If users want to educate themselves its out there waiting for them to read it. If they don't that's on them. I'm personally happy that ATTN1 took it down, I have no idea how he put up with it for this long.
Hi, I'm rather new to all of this.
Website, and just about everything to do with flashing my phone and roms.
Onto the story!
I managed to figure a lot of things out for the most part because i was fooling around with this for most of the day. Including how to flash my phone back to the way it was before i even started all of this.
Any time i manage to get any form of Cyanogen Mod onto my cellphone, and yes. I've tried more than one. I can get them up and working... for the most part. My only problem is that my phone just can't seem to find any service!!
I'm using a Milestone A853 and i've installed CyanogenMod's 9 and 7. Neither of which seem to do any good for my service. x.x Any help would be appreciated.
You might wanna try reposting this in the development section thread of the phone you're using. Is CM officially available for your device?

Yeah, Both of them are. Although CM 9 in still in Alpha stages. I'll go ahead and make my way over to the development section and repost this. Hopefully somebody somewhere can help me with this ._.
It's not all bad because i can reflash my phone back into working order, but i'd really like to be able to use CM instead. >_<
