[Q] Theme Question : HD2 NDT GINGER ROM

Hi This will be my first time try and I want to do this once and leave it as it is
Before I update my htc hd2 windows mobile to HD2 NDT GINGER ROM Version 18.0
with this ROM can we change the themes within the settings of the phone so its like stock themed skin?
and one more thing "sonscheiss" in this post mentioned that they had to "disabled 128MHz" because he had problems at boot if I encounter a problem at the boot how would I disable this setting?
I will be flashing this ROM to my HTC HD2 LEO512 (their shouldn't be any problem with that right?)
I know I ask a few questions sorry about that
Thank you in advance

ok got the theme question answered by just reading a bit more
looks like you can

I just flashed this rom 2 days ago and since then I have had multiple re-boots and problems with the phone freezing and having to pull the battery out. I’m just wondering if anyone else has had these issues or there is a way to stabilize it. Before I had the NDT MIUI rom installed with no problems and I’m using the same radio (2.12.50) as I was with the MIUI rom.
I have tried to re-flashed my HD2 to the stock rom and re-flashed the radio, MGLDR and recovery still with no resolve. I really enjoy NDT’s roms and hope there is a fix for this so I don’t have to change roms.

Which ICS for MZ601?

I have a European 3G Xoom, which ICS version shall I flash, if I'd like to get some 4.0 fun? I know that 3G won't work, but I don't want to brick my Xoom, better ask before.

I have a US 3G XOOM that hasn't been upgraded to 4G and I flashed the 4G ROM which caused an issue with the radio staying awake non stop searching for a signal. This ate battery like crazy. The EOS dev suggested that I flash the WiFi version of the ROM and it worked like a charm. That is, of course, if you don't use your 3G and run WiFi only all the time like I do. Otherwise, you're out of luck for now until someone cooks up a ROM specifically for 3G devices. Also, you need to make sure it would even work for non US XOOMs first, obviously.
I'm not sure if the devs even read this section, but if you don't get an answer from one here, you should PM them or ask in one of their threads. They've been very helpful to me and answered every question I needed help with. I hope you get it worked out. It's an excellent ROM.

Thanks, I was thinking about trying the wifi version. But I better ask before. I had some bad luck recently flashing 4.0 on my Nexus S. So I prefer asking before doing.

I have been running the EOS wingray rom and so far everything is stable and working except the faceunlock and silly faces effect. Check it out.

this Rom is realy good but you need fastboot to install it:

and you have to use a alternate recovery.img,

zip the universal xoom root

It runs on my 601 like Hell

I flashed ICS (WiFi only) on my MZ601. While all run wells, I am unable to go back to Honeycomb. My tablet model (in About Tablet) is now Xoom instead of MZ601. Unable to flash the system.img file using Fastboot.
So in case you'd like to go back to Honeycomb to collect an OTA update to ICS, it might be an issue.

It has arrived ... work VERY well.

[Q] Samsung galaxy s i9000 noob asking

Hello xda forum! I am new and totally NOOB! I recently bought a galaxy s i9000 from a little research in the forum I decided that I have to root it because I am already having a lot of problems.. I am having now the original firmware from samsung(updated via kies) and I am in version 2.3.3 (basebend version I9000XXJVO and kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVI-CL210427 [email protected] #2 ...I have no idea what are those things!!! and build number GINGERBREAD.XWJVI) I want to root it on Ice cream sandwich! It look so cool and fast. but I have no idea how and which rom to choose because I saw 3-4 different in the forum.
So...
1. I want to learn how to root and what do I need.
2. I want your opinions on the ics roms (suggest me whats the best)
3. Is everyone have the same problem with the battery!?
4. If I done this and then I want to take the rom out is it possible?
I really thanks you for your time! and sorry if I created a same post..
more info about my phone (found them with a code):
GT-i9000HKDEUR
PDA I9000XWJVI
PHONE I9000 XXJVO
CSC I9000 XXJV9
Thanks again for everything!!!

1)To root your Galaxy S you can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 quick and easy.
2) I personally have not used the ICS roms for SGS but this one seems to be the most stable one around http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223
3) Battery issues plagued me when I got my SGS as well, I would suggest getting something like Juice Defender off the market it can greatly help out battery life
4) Yes it is possible to go back to stock firmware all you need to do is flash back the stock firmware which you can find through Google.

1)to root my galaxy I used a modded kernel like cf root or semaphore which give you the root permissions and cwm
2)i never tried a ics rom because i'll try one of them when they will become stable, i don't like beta/alpha roms
3)battery isn't very very good...i can arrive till 8 pm normally, but if i start playing, wifi, music...in 4 hours battery is ko
4)yes if you want to take the rom out, you can flash a stock firmware/rom
hope it helps
then tell me how it has gone

thanks guys for your answers..I will think about doing it..and if I have any other question I will ask you...really thanks from your help

I use and still testing the stock ICS and i have to say that you MUST not install it in my experience so far in a week it have some issues. I am a noob too but learning, and this is a very versatil phone to use and manage. Meanwhile i sugest to upgrade to oldEr versions of GINGERBREAD

[Q] Which rom is the best for my rooted phone?

Hi, I have recently rooted my Desire S, with revolutionary, clockwork etc, and I currently ported this rom HTC_DESIRE_S_2.3.5-2.10.401.4.zip
Everything is working just fine, but theoretically, when I decide to port a new rom, how would I know which will work, and which won't?
Actually, I'm waiting until ICS is released for desire s, so I can find it and install it...
Are there any methods to identify which rom would be compatible?
Thank you!

hey mate
your're actually talking about two different things: porting a ROM and flashing a ROM.
Porting means, you take a ROM from another device and modify it so it works on your device too.
flashing means, you take a ROM which is already optimized for your device
and install it, so you wipe the stock firmware and get a custom rom.
which of the two things is what you want to do? i think its just the flashing.
so you can take any ROM from the "development section", and if you follow the guides that you can find everywhere here im sure you will be succesfull and happy with it.
bytheway
there is no "best" ROM for your device. it all depends on what you need and want. there are alot sense 3.5 Roms, Endymion 3.4 is the one i would recommend. you can also try AOSP ROMs (android open source project, means no sense), cyanogenmod7 could be a good first choice. and you can also try ics right now, since there are at least 3 (?) ICS AOSP ROMs right now:
CM9, Virtuous Quattro RC3, IceColdSandwich
have fun!

Yes I meant "flashing" a rom
Thanks for all the information. That's the general idea I have as well, however I had this question because after I flashed another rom (official rom through htc sync - that could have been the problem) over my first flashed one , the phone was "bricked"....

i would never recommend to flash an official ROM over a custom ROM. But anyways, i think if you would have done a full wipe before flashing the official rom you wouldnt have got a "you call it brick"
a real "BRICK" is a useless phone, where there is no way to use it again.if there is still a way, its no brick.. but who cares about definitions
I recommend you to flash the ROMs only through recovery mode. AND ALWAYS DO A FULL WIPE BEFORE FLASHING A NEW ROM. very important
and dont forget to backup as always

Yes you are absolutely right. I'll have that in mind the next time I'll decide to flash a new one
Yeah the device wasn't completely useless, it hanged at boot...but I guess that was due to not following the right procedure as you previously described..
Thanks eyahl

Start flashing different roms and trying them for a day or two. First
Sens 3.0 and then sense 3.5 roms to see the difference. Only then you will know which rom is best for you.

+1 for Endymion 3.4,

Each ROM type suits different personal tastes, so there isn't an 'best' ROM for everyone. Trial and Error which ones suit you!
General opinions:
Stock
Pro: Straight from HTC, *newest kernel/drivers*, least likely to have compatibility issues.
Cons: HTC is slow to release updates, and sense interface is usually resource hungry.
Sense-like
Pro: usually keep the Sense interface, but custom kernals offer speed / various other improvements.Runnymead versions are kernals ported across from HTC Sensation (which offer some of the goodies like Beats Audio etc. that were not originally developed for Saga.
Cons: Sense interface is resource hungry...
CyanogenMod based
Pro: offer lots of customisations
Cons: not the most user friendly
AOSP
Pro: Roms from the android source, usually less resource hungry, so lighter and faster.
Cons: Obviously, no sense.
ICS Alpha/Beta
Not strictly a new category, but builds from the new Android 4.0 (ICS).
Currently some things (like camera) isn't fully working yet.
Note: new Desire S may suffer from camera/video lag bug with non-stock / non-sense ROMs, this is due to HTC putting in new hardware / driver into the new DS phones and the other kernels not reflecting this change yet.
Personally, I use SenseMOD Lite V1.2 build 2 as it is one of the few AOSP like builds that don't have the camera bug. Oxygen would have been best choice for me but unfortunately camera bug makes it unusable.

Hey guys. I don't want to drive over your feet, but I think the OP is already very satisfied with all those replies. specially the post above is really trying to help, but you spend much time to type what has already been written on the first page.
I appreciate your intend to help, bit I think the OP isn't gonna read this anymore..
Btw: endy!...

[Q] Samsung S Relay 4G OK but Tmobile crap

Dear Experienced Users,
I have rooted my Samsung S Relay 4G SGH-T699 (previously unlocked and can use any sim) - I used CWM recovery, etc.
I love this phone.
The only problem is I want to get rid of all the T-Mobile branding crap, especially the Wifi Tethering Problem.
My experience: I use ODIN to flash, I also use ADB and SU. I also love experimenting
Is there some modified stock rom which has a tethering fix? The splash screens I can get rid of using other means.
I would really value some advice - I know you guys are all geniuses!!!
Best regards,
theartistisblue

There are threads with debloated Stock images. There's also some custom image alternatives (Such as CyanogenMod 10.2, and new betas of CyanogenMod 11.0) Just have a look through the forums here, they're not hard to find.

Thanks

Please, Please - could you point me in the right direction? I find Cyanogen a bit alien... I'd prefer a debloated thing.
I really need help. I will even pay
