Hello everyone, I'm new here, and noticed no topics on developing roms for the android based SiriusXM Lynx, From what I understand, it runs on Froyo. For those of you unaware, it is a Satellite/wifi/bluetooth radio, but has android under it. A friend of mine discovered the recovery menu on his Radio today, and posted some pics.
(I would post these pics here, but I am unable to right now since I am new)
Anyone think this thing can get a custom Rom on this to run a regular version of android, or any neat tricks to play on this little device? my aplolgies if this is not the right place to put this thread, just wanted to know if anyone knew anything about this? thanks again guys.
i would like this also and also found recovery

hey everyone,
i just updates my desire s with a new rom (not mentioning the name) and my phone is acting kinda crazy... as in the calls are not getting connected properly and half the time people complain they arent able to contact me either... the problem is im not much familiar about this stuff... bt, have a feeling it might be the problem with the radio. i tried restoring to older backups. no difference and realised that the radio doesnt get backed up.
i need help... does anyone know what to do about this...???
thank you in advance...

Relax.
And stop with the sad smileys...
The radio is not affected by a ROM flash, it is on a separate partition and you don't have to fiddle around with it if the problem has presented itself only after flashing a new ROM and was working alright previously.
Also, there is no disgrace in mentioning the ROM name, so please do tell us the following details:
Are you Revolutionary S-off or did you unlock using HTC Dev site?
What ROM are you currently using? Is this the first ROM you have flashed, coming from the stock one, or have you tried out other custom ROMs before this?
Let us know the answers to the above questions and we'll try our best to help.
Yeah, please tell us the name of the ROM, we'll be able to give you better help. Some AOSP ROMs (Oxygen, BlackICE) have calling issues. Also, as enimaamit said, a ROM does not change the Radio, it needs to be flashed separately (something i don't recommend you do). The problem is probably in the ROM

Yup. And thanks for that additional bit of info about Oxygen and BlackIce.
And another possibility is that this could be his first custom ROM (based on an official Sense ROM), and he might be coming from a stock ROM which he just unlocked using HTC Dev, so the kernel could still be stock... (if he didn't flash boot.img separately), and this might be allowing him to boot, but causing other issues like the one he just described.... I have an uncanny feeling that might be it!
I don't know, just letting loose the Sherlock inside
well, this wasnt my first custom rom... i have flashed from stock rom->cm nightly builds->oxygen->icecream sandwich 4.0 alpha builds to the current wp 7.0.4 rom by mmmcfc... i used to use his previous version-wp7.0.2 which was awesome and gave me no problems but, ever since i updated it, i have been having this problem. i tried flashing back to other roms as well and still kinda the same issue. and im on revolutionary s-off...
hope these answers are helpful... thanks for the reply guys...
EDIT: also, i used to have similar issues when i was in the stock rom at the very beginning which got solved later when i recieved an official update...i.e. before i s-off'd my phone...

He He He... guess i'm not much of a sleuth then!!
Are you sure the call drop issue is not a network provider problem {since it is happening on other ROMs as well, and it wasn't there before (your radio has been the same all along BTW)}
Have you tried putting your SIM in a basic phone and trying out whether the problem persists....this could indicate a network problem. I remember a few months ago Airtel service had gone to the dogs and everyone on Airtel (especially in Delhi) was writhing in agony...
Secondly, try using another carrier's SIM card in your DS and see if the problem still persists...
sry...i think u got me wrong der... i used to face the same problem on stock rom while i purchased the phone but, after updating it,it was pretty much and i never faced any problems until now. and i dont think its the carriers problem as im able to use the same sim card on a basic phone without any issues... and other users on the same carrier around me aint facing any problems with the network either... so, i guess im pretty much stuck and back to square one... :S
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. >_<

Man, the stock ROM for vega s5 is very good (of course you have only 2 option for language but I think English is very good). I am newbie too and if you really want to progress on your project, please share with me and we can do it together like a team. The reason noone answered is cos' a840s is very rare here
For the port ROM, I suggest we should use the Panaroid source for S3 north america or htc one x north america which is same hardware as pantech
Hi I just got an A84oSP, I'm in Korea and it's loaded with a ton of bloatware that I want to remove. Any link to a proceedure for rooting it, links to custom recoveries or links to ROMs, nothing fancy, (Stability > Battery > Preformance) would usually be my priorities for a ROM...Usually basic CM does that for me, but can't find any..
OK so this is my very first post because I can usually find the answers I'm looking for searching these forums but I'm stumped on the memory editor issue with lollipop... I just rooted my shield tablet and was trying to use game killer 3.11 and every time I do a search on a game it comes up with 0. Anyone else have this problem? Can I just flash back to KitKat? Do I even have to do that?
Ditto
So is it possible to go back to KitKat after having lollipop already? I could just flash one of the ROMs from the devs on this site huh? Like I said before I'm kinda new to this. I've unlocked boot loaders and rooted phones and tablets but I've never actually flashed a ROM before...

I'm a complete newbie in the Android world (iPhone user), so I'm so sorry in advance if I'm asking a stupid question. So today I bought an Alcatel Hero 2 from Amazon. The device hasn't arrived yet. The device has Android Kitkat on it and from some youtube review videos I knew that the customized Android version installed on the device is chubby so I thought if I can upgrade to vanilla Lollipop then the performance will improve.
There is very little information on the web about the Hero 2. I only found a webpage (can't post a link here because I'm new but google for "upgrade alcatel hero 2 lollipop" and you'll find it) that says one can upgrade to Lollipop, but it seems to be SCAM. Thus I thought it's better to ask here to get trusted answers since I don't want to get into security problems.
I know what ROMs are and have a little background but I don't know where to get trusted ROMs or if it's possible at all to upgrade my phone. I appreciate any answers.
Many thanks in advance!
Probably not, unless Alcatel comes out with its own Lollipop update or more threads appear here for Hero 2 ROMs.
The Hero 2 isn't very popular, or at least well-known, in the US. I'm surprised you even found it for purchase. Was it on the US Amazon site or a foreign version? Got a link? I was interested in a Hero 2, too, but I could never find it, and now it's getting a little long in the tooth.
Sorry this isn't the answer you wanted. Is it an all right phone overall, though? Reviews were generally favorable.
I don't think there is Lollipop rom for your device.
Hi guys,
any news about lollipop update? Im choosing between Hero 2 and LG G3, but Hero 2 is cheaper for me and it has little bit bigger screen. Any advices please?

Hi there, I managed to port a RR rom (7.1.2) for this device. If you still want to try it out let me know, I would make a thread but sadly I can't
Please, if it is not too much trouble, you can update the link

This is weird, I looked all over and cannot find any links for original flashing files, not even 4PDA.
But, the rom I ported has no sound (unless you wear headphones), and camera is not working. This was basically just an experiment on trying to port it for first time, but sadly I do not have the device anymore so I won't be able to help much. If you still want to try it, here's the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/resurrection-remix-5-8-5-alcatel-t3913051
Meanwhile I'll try to keep looking for the original stock ROM for your device, there has to be something.
I'll let you know if I find anything.
