[Q] My God This Site Makes Me Feel Behind The Times

Okay so I use to keep up with the cell phones a decent bit but never got into the windows mobile phones.
Cause my original use for phones was just to have a phone encase someone needed to reach me.
Then it slowly grew into calls, text, music.
And slowly into the now, calls, text, music, organizer, web browsing, pictures, email, no weather though (rain or shin who cares lol), instant messaging, video, I don't really hit the myspace, facebook, twitter really but would be handy for gf, anyone do anything for wiki yet lol
Man getting old sucks. lol, it use to be easy to keep up with everything.
examples: Home Theater, Car Audio, Computers, Cell Phones, Gaming, Exc.
So keep in mind this is for my Sprint - HTC Touch Pro 2 - Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional
I have noticed not alot of love for the CDMA Phones, and I'm also not sure what type of display my phone is.
I have seen like 4 or 5 different labels for the display types and wondered which mine was.
So to my point. From what I am seeing going threw all of these.
No one seems to be making a version of these things where your not totally re-flashing the phone. Or am I just reading that wrong.
In using these different things do they really replace the original backup image on the phone. Or are they just adding another app or Today Screen Item or System overlay or what ever you call it.
I see alot of warnings and using different things for backing up my phone.
That the person suggest to use.
So I'm just try to gauge the level of change to the phone that is going to happen.
I was also wondering how often to people on here take from people ideas or suggestions?
Since I lack the skills in programing. I was thinking of making up some mock pictures and descriptions of what I would like and see what people and programmers think.
I would also be open to any suggestions in things to add as well.
So I think I am going to start doing to mock ups and will post them in a second post but will make a spot for me to edit after this one.

Mock Ideas & Display
post to be edited in future for ideas and concepts

First of all, you'll have to find out more details about your phone... For that you go to Settings > System > Device Information. There you'll find all the details about the current ROM, Manilla, etc. And enough details to get all the information regarding your phone using Google.
Secondly, it's really not that difficult keeping up with the latest tech. Get a few nice RSS feeds for news on technology. I'm personally still waiting for some viable Augmented Reality tech. If you've got an interest then you'll keep up and with the software we have today you can get everything right on your phone or desktop. I personally spend the first hour of every day browsing news, reading articles and reading my emails using my Google Desktop RSS feeds.
Thirdly, flashing ROMs is the easiest way for custom builds to be released. Otherwise you'd have a hundred different CAB files to install and you'd likely get a million errors because of requirements from other CABs that weren't considered. Flashing is really not that difficult and saves a lot of time and effort for both the developer and the user (for the developer because he doesn't get a million queries on why something isn't working). Of course there are a hundred different apps and themes to change the look and feel of your phone but the problem is that HTC never released a global version of Sense/Manilla 2.5 for the Touch Pro 2 (Phone is sold with WM6.5 and Manilla 2.1). They've recently released some localized versions but getting them for your phone is a mission and it doesn't provide you with all the nice added functionality that some of the XDA developers provide.
It does replace your original ROM but you can always download that again from HTC and just flash it back to the original.
Lastly, writing software isn't just as easy as 1,2,3. Well... sometimes it is but if you really want to create something that's useful and adequately stylish it's going to take some time. What's likely is that you'll create your concept art and someone might have the same passion for the concepts that you do and create it for you. Chances are very slim for that though... but post the concepts and let's see what you can come up with. I'm personally writing an integrated system for my fiance using web-services, windows apps and mobile apps so that she can manage her ballet school comfortably. This is a huge project in itself and I get bored really quickly if there isn't anything challenging to figure out.
Always check google... chances are that someone's already created what you're looking for.
Good luck with the catching up and don't be afraid to ask questions. Just also remember that there is unfortunately such a thing as a stupid question so use the search function on the forum as well as google extensively before asking anything.

that is all the info i could find directly on the phone but not sure what i'm suppose to look up on my phone on google
as far as keeping up in general yeah its not hard. but keeping up in depth is another story. like the programing behind the phone, programing behind the computer, what is the latest and greatest in home and car audio, playing all the lastest games, exc.
I mean i can build a computer, install home and car audio, i know i can install apps and install this stuff in time with enough reading, and i keep up with enough gaming for me lol
I just can't keep up in the detail that i want to keep up with and be able to do
i figured there was a reason why the better stuff was a rom flash just wondering why
now when were talking about flashing the rom. are we talking like flashing firmware or bios. or we just saying uploading data into the machine in one large load. and does this flashing also replace the windows os or is that left alone?
oh i'm still going to make a mock setup using my paint.net lol
i'm very sure i will design something that will catch peoples eyes and make them want to make it
I have done that plenty for game mods, some windows stuff, and other things along the way
oh i have been searching google for the past couple weeks and how i came across this site. but mainly was finding little apps were some work and some didn't. but didn't give me the final product i was looking for
and yeah i'm on a few different forms for my game and other stuff so i know how they go. just sucks to see 100s of pages of stuff cause its like a needle in a hay stack sometimes or the person description or wording is not clear for every person

and sorry i thought i double checked and didn't see any direct labels for that plus that I saw a few post in here for both gsm and cdma phones, i did see the fully seperate section for the cdma phones but i saw a decent number of people did make for both in here and figured i might get a bigger audience here.
but thanks for the link to the other place i will check there as well
but so far this place has caught my eye the most
so are you stating that i should close this thread and start a new one in the cdma section or am i within reason for keeping this going for a little longer till i'm ready to post my mock in the cdma section instead of here?

oh yeah and how do i figure out if my phone is cdma or gsm
cause i saw in a post that sprint uses both

Yeah the CDMA phones can use both CDMA and GSM. But the important thing is that you need to use CDMA ROMs and CDMA radios. If you flash a GSM ROM by mistake then the phone won't boot, but you can easily flash a CDMA ROM.
However, if you flash a GSM radio by mistake onto a CDMA phone, then you *will* brick it, and there's no way back !
The best way to tell is to check the model number of your phone, under the battery. It will be "RHODxxx", where the "xxx" is three digits. Yours will be RHOD400 or RHOD500, which are the CDMA phones. The GSM ones are RHOD100/200/300 (and variants thereof, e.g. 310).

so yeah my phone is a cdma phone from what your saying there since mine is a rhod400
and great now i got to figure out what the difference is between cdma roms and cdma radios
do i even need to bother with radios or no?
lol you learn one thing and then you find out you still need to learn 10 more things
got to love the spiral effect, stuff slides down hill, never ending loop, or whatever you want to call it, lol

ROMs are the main things running your phone, the operating system and software to operate the main functions.
The radio is the firmware (which also sits in your ROM) which controls the actual radio transmitting/receiving functions - i.e. talking to the cell towers, talking to GPS satellites and (possibly ? can't remember for sure) the Wi-Fi.
So with an updated radio you can sometimes find better reception/battery life/GPS lock. It's easy to experiment flashing different radios because you don't have to backup/restore stuff like you do with ROMs.
Just make sure you flash a CDMA radio to your CDMA phone though, not a GSM one !

alright so basicly i got a bit of research infront of me before i even dare to make any major changes to my phone. blah
how often do people package both the rom and radio together?
and since this is windows, and your saying when you flash the phone it replaces everything, how does microsoft track the os out there or do they not use the os serial key on the phones like they do on the computers?
so in saying this as well i half to make sure whatever rom i do decide to flash to my phone i half to make sure its to a touch pro 2 or i will have problems. if i'm understanding this correctly
i wonder how hard it will be to find guides with alot of pictures?
i never seem to follow just text very well
i have noticed for some of the general things i have picked up from here they had very nice pictorial guides to help me lol
but for the rom back up and flashing i'm noticing pages of pages of text and not much in pictures lol, damn visual bases in learning

If my personal experience is anything to go by, people tend to flash the ROM more often than the radio, because the ROM changes more often, assuming it's a custom/cooked ROM. People tend to stick with a radio which works well for them, when they've compared a few - then if a new one ever comes out it's easy to flash that and see if it's better or worse (or just the same).
MS don't track the OS install like they do with a PC, there's no activation as such. Custom ROMs are often running leaked ROMs from MS anyway, rather than official releases.
When you flash you need to make sure it is for a CDMA TP2, not just for a TP2. Because if you flash GSM stuff by mistake then Bad Things may well happen (which you might be able to recover from, or might just destroy your phone).

any reason people used just the leak roms besides getting an early start
i mean do they ever replace it with a legal version
i'm not a big fan on stolen software. stolen software is part of the reason why items have higher prices, granted most of the price is cause of the manufacturer, but thieves don't help the price lol
now free software is another story that is all good lol

If people own the device for which the ROM is intended, then I don't consider it stolen; it is intended for that device, and will be released for that device.
Personally, however, I do not install "leaked" ROMs; they are in development.

Just out of interest, how does that fit with running a ROM based on 24631 (leaked and will never be released for the TP2)?

Which leaked ROMs are you referring to ? Because in the past, when ROMs such as T-Mobile and AT&T ones have been leaked, they have actually been the finished article (as proved by comparison with the final published product), just not officially released as yet, hence not actually under further development.

[Q] Modems how do they work?

so i have a captivate, i love it. however my carrier has limited service where i live. i have seen people say they get better download and upload speed with different modems and i myself have flashed different modems and used speedtest app to see these differences. my question(s) are really as follows
can a modem give you better reception?
is it possible to make your antenna in your phone work harder to pick up better signal strength?
in general is there a way i can learn how modems work?
thanks smart peeps!

First, a modem us the binary file that runs the antenna. So if we were able to control and edit the binary (which we can't) you could potentially make the antenna "work harder".
so a modem works by controlling, software wise, the frequencies the antenna uses. For example, I9000 modems tell the antenna to also pick up hsupa, and that is why I9000 based roms have faster data. The modem needs to also be compatible with the kernel so it can run properly. This is why e can't use modems like JK4 on captivate based Roms.
flashing a modem can increase signal. It is all about where you are though. JK4, which is a great modem in Boston, might not be a great modem in San Francisco, or Detroit.
there is a sticky thread in the development section for this with a website that will help you pick out a new modem. Make sure it is compatible with your kernel first.

True... Detailed.. However, mostly irrelevant..
When you flash a modem, you're flashing an operating system for the communications chip. It's an entire stand-alone operating system designed to minimalistically receive and transmit data. The communications chip is capable of running an entire device. This is evidant when you examine the binary. It contains keyboard, mouse and display drivers.
When the Captivate was released, it was released as a 3G device, not H, so its communications chip was configured to work as a 3G modem. This was likely a marketing decision as "3G" was all the rave at the time.
A modem won't improve your reception unless your old modem was configured incorrectly
As far as signal strength, it won't improve unless your old modem was configured incorrectly.
There are several tweaks which are applied in each version of modem firmware for different devices. Unfortunately, the communications chip is locked down/Closed-source Qualcrap.. So, we will never fully understand what configurations are available, nor can we do anything other than test and see which one works more effectively.

hey thank you so much guys, this is really interesting, sadly a little depressing but interesting. i have one last question then, since i am running my i897 captivate... with the ICS rom, does this mean i should use i9000 or i897 modems? i heard that i9000 modems were just better then i897 so i am using them... but if the above is true, i shoud be using i897 to get proper configuration of my device.
you guys are all awesome and ill be mashing the thanks button!

U have to use the specific modems for ICS... See here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16843698&postcount=1
And more specifically...See this page... http://soggycashew.weebly.com/cm7miui--ics-modems.html

yea im flashing a few of the ics i897 vs the i9000 i was using... still though... i have full bars with my old blackberry bold 9000 compared to my cappy which has 1 or 2... i dont understand why.

[Q] Droid 4 -- custom kernels & bootloader lock

I am a current Sprint customer with an Epic 4G and I found out I can terminate my contract this month if I so desire.. My only option would be to switch to Verizon with a Droid 4. The network is certainly better and the phone has a better CPU, but I would hate to be stuck with a locked bootloader, no upgrades, and a crappy Motoblur skin on my phone. Has anyone managed to crack this encryption on ANY of these Motorola phones yet??? How about the number of developers working on Moto phones? I see very few posts in this forum section so that is a major red flag to me.
My current phone has fully functional CM9 ICS and a custom kernel -- what are the chances this will EVER happen on the Droid 4? I am guessing Slim to None, but I still have to ask.

With a locked bootloader you will never see custom kernels. However, custom ROMs are already being developed and ported from the Droid Razr. I came from a Droid 2 which had quite a lot of dev support despite a locked bootloader. Was running CM7 when I upgraded to the Droid 4. The only thing really holding the phone back right now is there are no fastboot files that allow you to restore the phone should you screw up trying to run a custom ROM. Root has been achieved and it is quite easy to go in and freeze the bloatware with Titanium Backup and install whatever launcher you choose so you don't have to see Blur. I haven't seen a ton of activity yet on XDA or Rootzwiki but DroidForums.net is buzzing pretty good. Remember the phone hasn't even been out 2 weeks. As soon as fastboot files become available I think you will see quite a bit more going on with custom ROMs for the Droid 4.
In summary, only thing you are really going to give up is custom kernels. Dev support seems decent especially with the ability to port Razr ROMs relatively easily. Root, app freezing, and custom launchers like Go or ADW get rid of most of the Blur.

Thanks for the detailed answer... I'm still trying to determine what exactly I will be losing by switching to Verizon (besides unlimited data )
Couple more questions about kernels -- aren't custom kernels necessary for overclocking? Or is there a way to hack the in-memory kernel to allow setcpu to increase the clock speed faster than stock? Also, what is the nature of the moto-lock? Does it just prevent flashing over a certain area of ROM that holds the bootloader, or does it go further than that (like encrypted memory or something)? I thought I heard that devs have found a way to make other Moto-locked devices like the Droid 2 boot the stock kernel from ROM and then load a new custom kernel from the SD card into RAM using kexec.

Oh man, now you are going to expose how little I really know about how all this works! I DO know that you do not need a custom kernel to overclock. There were overclock options on my Droid 2 and I have seen you can use mattlgroff's utility to overclock the Droid 4 already. I am not sure HOW it is done, just that it CAN be done.
Other than that I am not real sure what is involved in getting around the bootloader issue. I think it has something to do with 2nd init? I have heard the term thrown around but honestly could not explain exactly what that does. I assume it is what allows dev's to bypass the locked bootloader which I think is what a bootstrap does.
Probably didn't help too much. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge of the process can give a better explanation. And correct what is probably a horribly inaccurate explanation of bootstrap/2nd init.

Well, thanks for the attempt to explain, anyway.. I am glad to hear I should at least be able to overclock. And I suppose somebody should be able to come up with a TUN module for OpenVPN support and CIFS module for mounting Samba shares.. So I'll be missing Voodoo Sound/Voodoo Color and... I dunno, that's probably about it? How about tethering, is there a way to tether undetected on a locked Droid phone with Verizon?
NOW the big question is -- Do I really want to sign a 2 year contract with Verizon and commit to 2GB/month data caps with overage fees? That just feels dirty.. What's the point of even having ridiculously fast download speeds if I will hit the cap in the first two days of the month? Does Verizon even offer any plans with more than 2GB/month?

I have no idea how long it's running for, but right now Verizon is offering to double the cap for anyone you signs a two-year contract:
http://shop.verizonwireless.com/?id=Double Data
That makes the idea of a cap a little more bearable.

If you root your Droid 4 you can tether using an app, bypassing Verizon's BS. I believe there is another thread here devoted to that topic. As far as data goes I know right now Verizon is offering 4GB for the price of 2GB. I was grandfathered in with unlimited but honestly, I don't think I have ever used more than 1GB myself. I would think 4GB would be more than enough for most people. I don't tether that often either though. I am pretty sure Verizon offers other data packages with higher caps but I don't know what the prices are on those. Something ungodly I am sure.

Theres no source drop yet by Motorola for the D4's kernel. Once there is, I'll be building the TUN/CIFS modules and getting them in the ICS CM9/AOKP builds.

If I can hit 1GB on Sprint's ridiculously crappy 3G network (without any tethering), then I am SURE that I can EASILY hit 4GB on Verizon 4G. It seems like they post falsely high numbers in the speedtest.net app, but the Verizon LTE in my area (really small really crappy little town) hits 30mbit down/5mbit up. That's faster than my Roadrunner "XTREME" landline, lol. So it's still tempting, cap or no cap..

i have been tossing around the idea of dropping my home internet and paying for the tether package from verizon as my main connection

OP, thank you for starting this thread. As another Sprint customer with OG Epic 4g, I am also out of contract and thinking of jumping over to VZW. Tired of Sprint's crappy reception, data etc. etc. I've never gone over 3GB with Sprint anyway, so doubt it will happen with VZW.
It would be nice if someone sticked the step-by-step "how to root Droid 4" for those of us who are not used to locked bootloaders.
r me... know will have trouble moving from Sammy's SAMOLED to something much less great.

welcome to the dark side
the D4 is actually really really easy to root! bookmark this thread for later use
steps
1) install moto drivers on your computer (link provided in thread)
2) turn on debugging on your phone (settings --> applications --> development --> check USB debugging)
3) fire up the utility and follow on screen instructions
4) you have root!

iptables
As far as I remember the Droid 2 Global has a locked bootloader but I have a custom rom on mine and it has iptables. There is hope for the Droid 4 just have to give it time. Don't need iptables if you're on the $55 android plan.

Don't know if you got an answer to this, it's been a while but overclocking is easy. There is a kernel module you can install that creates /dev/overclock that can then be written with new clock data.

[Q] ... a bit lost with my new cappy

Well, my name is Juan, im Colombian, recently i bought in the "bay" for a fair price, a used captivate from ATT, from a long time i wanna this phone coz i really like the hardware, deveplopment and more than other things "the wolfson beast" inside this phone (well, i really love the sound quality in any device that have reputable feedback in this way: cowon, iriver, etc), i consider that i´m not a newbie in the android world coz had from a htc magic to a mopho that recently sell here in my country... ever delay the captivate buy for any reason, but now i have in my hands my cappy; and when wanna to start to ****$%& my phone, i found some glitches related with the following things (believe me, i read and read and re read all the dev section, but i found differents ways for make any thing, so darkies... i fell a bit scary of a semibrick, i dont have a jig and buying one its equal to 15 days waiting my buy from USA) a full brick W/O comments :
1: Modem: Here in Colombia we use the 850/1900 bands (att same) for 3g (i have data plan over 3g and compared to USA services, its really expensive), if i try to upgrade to ie jellybean, my moden could change and messed up my 3G?, exist any recommended modem for latin american users (battery duration)?
2: datadata & Nodatadata: a lot of shadows with this question... exactly what is the difference beetween a datadata & nodatadata, i really try to understand what is the benefits, some people says "nodata" other "datadata", i´m very interested in a rom with voodoo kernel... again, if i wanna install ie a jellybean rom, what could be better with my cappy datadata or other (pleasse dont say me read the dev post or google (i make it already), only wanna now for a first cappy installer what is better and why.. again dont wanna piss in my older new phone...
well thats all, thx for the help and first sorry for the post, and well, excuse my ugly english (all day try learn a lil bit)
Greetings from Medellin

HELP Someone?

Hiya, My name is nick, I know this thread may have been repeated before, but I've noticed all the threads I've seen NEVER answer my questions correctly. So maybe I can get help by posting my own thread...
I have an LG Thrill- I use Simple Mobile.
This is the information on my phone:
Model LG-p925
Android Version 2.3.5
Baseband version L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00
Kernel 2.6.35.7+
Build Number Thrill seeker 2.1
Software Version LGP925-V20p-FEB-22-2012
I am minorly a n00b to this, I put this rom onto the phone quite a few months ago. I would need directions so i dont mess things up, as a referance.
However, my questions are this...
1) What is the best baseband to use, so that I can get the most functionality out of my device as possible? Using Simple Mobile, I barely crawl with data.
There has been a few RARE instances that I've seen when flashing, that I hit 3g /4g i assume, It said HSPA+ or something instead of an E by the network strength bar. I had flawlessly fast internet for a brief moment, then it switched back to painfully slower than dialup speeds.
2) What is the best rom to use, with this device?
3) what are the steps in general to get a half way decent speed. I'm not really sure where to go, or if I am going to upgrade to thrillseeker 3.1 because the data speeds are really hindering me from using this phone.
Since I'm on a EXTREMELY tight budget I do not have money to upgrade. I plan to modify what I have so I can use it and it works...
At the current stand point, the phone will not even connect to the internet, I setup the APN's for simple mobile, so I'm ready to flash to something different. Where do I go from here?

Im assuimg its unlocked? You going to need to flash a P920 ROM... and flash a baseband that supports tmobile. Go to the lg optimus 3d forum and read up on what you need to do

Could you give me a link? I'm using the P925 phone, the LG Thrill 4g thing.. Yes its unlocked, i do have CWM thats how I got thrill seeker, I have no idea where to start looking because everything I've seen doesn't quite help me... Could you be so kind as to pointing me in the right thread link?
I've done all this before with different phones and stuff, but i need to have a simple explanation specific for my device on the things I need to do... Its been quite a while since I've been into the modding scene.

Hello. There is an updated version of this rom. On xda type in "thrill seeker 3.1 v20p" its by "bdadd34" the newest version is not on the op. I believe its on page 47. Sorry you'll have to look thru the forum. The new zip is called tsfinaltest2. Try it out.
