Guys,
I`ve installed some modified manilla on my HTC HD (got it from xda some thread don`t remember exactly) and now my phone pad keyboard got screwed in a minor but sick way.
The thing is that the voice/ video call button from left right got a text on it (Call Hi..)[exactly links to call history.]
i`ve trued factory default hard reset but the problem did not solved.
I really want that button to work as it was meant to, so i`m asking u any kind of help u can get.
i think some manilla from the original files was screwed.
The first option will be not to modify the original ROM.
curently using rom: 1.19.70.1 WWE from 11/24/2008
hey
its a fault of the original rom ur using, i had the same thing before i upgraded to official 1.56 rom, so if you wanna fix it i suggest you go to HTC site and download it. It also gives better gps performance etc.
Sorry but i can not upgrade from site.
Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
i get this by using my phone Sn.
any other way i can get the rom file?! The original upgraded one, no alteration with out interacting with htc.com

ps.... its worth having a wee look first before posting, i found this in 30 seconds
Hey all,
I purchased a UK WiFi Only Xoom today, its running 3.0.1 im wondering what the best way is and what method I should use to go up to the most stable 3.2 ROM that is overclocked?
If you have a link to the best guide to follow or any suggestions please post them.
Thanks!
Well if it were me, I'd firsts change the region to US that way you'll always be up to date.
Here's the URL (copy into browser): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166106
Looks like a decent guide and once you get done with this, you can start flashing up to date roms and whatnot.
Hope this helps
Well first off claim your free keyboard, best to do that now before you mess your xoom up changing regions. motorolaxoompromotion.co.uk . Then root and go with hammerhead from team tiamat, they really are the best for making one flashable update for everyone! If you are new to android search and read about all this first!
Excuse typos, I'm on my phone
Edit: and when I say mess your xoom up, I mean it has to be done from a stock UK zoom, I did it by changing user agents in Firefox, as outlined by another thread here, but to do it now would be easiest.
Dear professionals,
I'm having a problem and I really need your help.

I appreciate your help

take it easy, u might hurt ur self
ok its not quite in the right place, but no need to bite his head off.
anyway, in answer to your question, the way i removed the branding from my vodafone DS was this
http://revolutionary.io/ download this tool and follow its instructions, this will root your phone and give you a recovery tool that will allow you to flash a new ROM onto your phone.
With the phone rooted, you will be able to back up your data using an app from the market. Titanium Backup is the usual favorite.
EDIT : may be wrong about it providing root, I personally skipped the backup step as I had no data to lose, but if that is the case there are guides in the forums for obtaining root access
next look through this forum to find a ROM that suits your needs, from the sound of things you want the stock one, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230029 should suit you.
download the zip file and transfer it to your SD card.
next you need to reboot into your recovery mode by turning the phone off, then hold the vol down button and power button together and selecting recovery from the menu
finally use the volume buttons to select install zip from SD card, and point it at your downloaded rom. it may take a few mins so allow it to finish then select reboot phone.
again this first boot may take a little time, but once its up you should have a debranded ROM as if you had just bought the phone new.
Add the details for your google account and redownload your backup app so you can restore your data and you are good to go
thank you very much for your help,
I shall give it a try,
by the way, will be able to install official updates on it, or will I have to stick with custom ROMs for ever?
thanks again

Nooo, not forever. Just until you get a new device
But seriously: Custom roms don't work with official updates. The trick is that most of the custom rom developers provide their own flashable updates for their roms. The difference is in the way you perform the update. There are even fairly developed custom roms, like MIUI, which have their own over-the-air updates (actually more often than official updates are coming.)
EDIT: In fact, you can switch back to a stock rom anytime and get the official updates back.

lol, possibly....hello,
although a lot of effort had been put into creating a lot of resources which are very user friendly, so it's quiet frustrating when they aren't even looked at.
Plus development is for just that, which is why the moderator moved the thread.
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium

OK, I understand... but how do I get the official stock rom?, and by stock that means it has no Orange apps at all right ?

Once unlocked, i.e. rooted, you can use titanium backup or a root file explorer to uninstall the apps you don't need from the rom you are running atm.

Well, again: read around the forum a little, please. There is a sticky thread right on the top of the development section, called ROMS/RECOVERY/ROOT etc. It's a must read for newcomers. Very useful thread. There you find a link to a collection of stock roms. These are distributed as .exe files, so you can run them in windows and a simple-to-use installer will pop up and help you with pushing the stock rom to your phone. It is advisable that you double check that you are flashing the rom you really want. Someone here will help you to choose the right one.
EDIT: By the way in the general section (where we are now with this thread) there is also a very useful sticky. It's called Guide for Newcomers to Android. Seriously, it's a good read, given that you own an Android phone...

OK man, I will do that, thanks for the tips
Thanks chris5s, Ill definitely give it a shot.
This tool would help to get rid of the annoying Orange splash screen, and other useless apps could be removed as stated before.
Of course, best way is to install generic HTC European rom or custom rom of your choice.
Aforementioned tool would also help install roms, radios, etc, of your choice.
Good luck
Peace
Edit: sorry, Android flasher won't help install roms, but will help with installing custom recovery - Ext4 or Clockwork Mod - essential in s-off/rooted flashing.

Start by reading Qs and ANS section than read the features on FUSION KERNEL and VIPER S ROM (first and second posts) in developer section. They explain the shortcomings and possible improvements in hardware and software of HTC One S!
can you help

im on 4.0.4 trying to root but getting no were what is the best way to do this
There are many threads (both junk and old and good) stickied in the Development section that show how to unlock the bootloader and obtain a custom recovery and root. Then search the custom ROMs on the dev section for more options. Custom ROMs give you many OS tweaks, better performance, and better battery life. Check the thread's OP + recent comments to find out what each ROM has. I would suggest the Viper/Venom ROM or Axiom S. For a custom kernel, try Fusion. There is also AOSP (stock Android) for ICS and Jellybean (CM9 + CM10). Have fun!
I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427 for root. ATM I'm running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850917 Great ROM. You could also try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677 Worked great for a friend.

You'll need to checkout the Atrix 4G Android Development section for finding all ROMs available for the device. Read through user reviews and select the best one of your choice. Also, when asking about which is the Best ROM, you'll get 10 different opinions from different people. So its all upto your needs to use the one of your choice.
Thread closed
I would move it for you, but there's a good chance it would get closed in that forum too. Best ROM threads/questions are generally frowned upon around here due to the type of responses (mostly negative) and bickering they tend to generate. Try them out for yourself and see what works for you.
