It's mostly just a personal preference, best advise I could give you is flash a couple and see what you like best

This thread has a rooted version of the stock T-Mobile donut build, and if you install the added expansion pack, it includes apps2sd and other features like tether, you can read all about it or download it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456

check myn's thread,

try this one. MYM's 1.6
It is by far the fastest and most stable.

Agreed. This is just as stable and probably faster than 1.5. Also, there is a plethora of themes to choose from. Best vogue-android rom out there atm, imo.

mssmison is also coming out with a new 2.1 rom very soon here, and from what it sounds like it's gonna be pretty fast. So you might wanna hold out for that too.

Thank you very much! Works awesome compared to eclair and nicer than 1.5!

Noobish Questions HTC Pure TOPA210

OK.. First. After running this on my Pure, I could kick myself for not getting an android phone to begin with!
Now, my questions and queries..
1. Is there any version 2.1, 2.2 ..etc that has sound (external speaker, screen taps, music etc) working?
2. I played with 2.1 startups and etc and got everything to work essentially but the external sound. After I tried the latest 2.2 and rc1, which would hang on calls (only time I got it to load completely), I went back to 2.1, which hangs on calls now. So, my question is, is there a recommended setup for 2.1 on a Pure TOPA210?
3. The release notes say for rc1 the sound issues are fixed. I try to run it, and it freezes on creating data.img. There is a post describing using the image from 2.1, but that makes "panic", and none of the fixes in that post seem to work. So question is, any recommendations on setup for 2.2 on Pure TOPA210?
Really awesome thing y'all are doing here, BTW.

There are no noobish questions, only stupid answers .
1. There is no build yet with the external sound working ( known and common problem on TP2 and TD2 ).
2. I would recommend to use the 2.2 Froyo build because the 2.1 is no longer under development, we are focusing now ( devs i mean ) to Froyo build mainly now.
3. From Froyo beta v2 till RC1 we had some problems running the build ( kernel panics ), but all was fixed with a new zImage ( 20/07 zImage i think ) anyway head over to the general thread here and go back 1-2 pages back and you will see which one fixes that.

Thanks! The newer zimage and such got it going! I cam use the data connection, but still hangs on calls with the latest, so will try the image from 7-20 and see how that works.. Thanks for the help!

I guess I'm a bigger noob! I'm having trouble locating a froyo build that works on my HTC PURE (topa210).
What builds / sources are you using?

Some of the chefs modifies the kernel,... for their devices ( but they are very rare ). You can use the "roms" from devices listed in my signature under the XDAndroid logo. But i think in near future the Android "roms" for TD2 will start poping up.

Where can the "silage package" be found?
Thanks!

is it true that the random app launching is a an issue on all android phones and that google can gemotely do anything that they want to to the device???
im really hating the ads and the random app launching!!!!

[Q] Best Android distribution for Kaiser

Hello all,
I'd like to ask which is the best distribution of Android for Kaiser - I mean everything working fine and so on.
I have HardSPL 3.29 and Radio 1.70.19.09 .. I tried one distro (Froyo 2.2 - Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS14 All Languages) but when I started it.. it runs some time then the screen goes dark like sleep.. but when I press the power the screen image is broken... like white lines on the screen.. (this happens on both Incubus Super FroYo and Myn's Donut) ... I don't know is there some additional software that should be installed...
I use starting with HaReT via SD card...
I appreciate any help... Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Dimitar Dimitrov

The screen problem is wrong panel type, edit the default.txt in andboot folder, change the panel type, (board-htckaiser.panel_type=X), it can be either 1,2 or 3, if the display looks fine apart from sleep issues when you press power key, chances are you have a panel type 3, panel types 2 and 3 display the same, but have sleep issues if you choose the wrong one.
As for the best build? That is something you have to find out for yourself, not being funny, just that everyone has a different idea of 'best'

Thanks a lot!

Okay about the distribution... As I am new to Android at all... Can you please tell me your opinion about which distribution is working on kaiser (probably one you have tested and you are happy with it)
Thanks once again!
Kind regards!

Depends on what you want.
If you want speed, go with Myn's Warm Donut.
If you want to more apps, and less speed, go with Eclair.
If you want the latest apps and even less speed, try Froyo.

Thank you I'll try which one is working well on my kaiser and i'll choose one.. sorry for stupid questions anyway just i think it is better to ask someone who passed by those kinds of issues

I think I have tried all of them, and only 1 is working fine and fast for me: dzo's froyo (currently 26-08-2010). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715402 (get it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/ ) (the latest builds include all of the fixes, you don't need to patch anything after installing).
I am running it with haret on the SDcard. It's so fast and smooth I don't even feel the need to flash it to the nand (which would work even faster).
The eclair builds, (polymod 2.1d, etc...) even with compcache enabled they are too slow. Cyanogenmod is also extremely slow, and it was also freezing while the phone was sleeping). And the Donut builds are lacking features.
On my kaiser the dzo froyo build is at least as fast as the fastest donut builds I have used, and it's rock stable. Far better than the eclair and other froyo builds like cyanogenmod.
PS: do not use any "unodexed" or "deodexed" builds. They are slower.

If you want the latest apps and the best speed and the best stability, try dzo's froyo.
On my kaiser this build feels like it came flashed originally instead of windows mobile. In comparison, the other builds felt like "hacks": slow and/or buggy.

Myn's RLS5 is the best for my kaiser.

And what about battery life?, Cyanogen literaly drain power in a few hours, froyo from dzo is better, but still is a problem for these builds.
Any recommendation?, the old Donut build battery lafe is the best (at least for me) but after several days the phone signal drops to zero, and i cant recover it !!
Please, your comments, thanks in advance!

yap i have same problem with phone signal. i wonder why...

Had this problem with a number of builds, turns out that using the 1.71 radio was the problem, reflashing 1.65 radio cured my 'No Signal' problems, sometimes latest is not always best

I downloaded the latest system-WHATEVER for dzo's froyo...on my hd2 you unzip a zip...extract Android dir to SD card and run haret to start android....where exactly is haret and the other things to actually boot the system? It's not in the .tgz's being posted in that sourceforge dir.

This has been my experience too. I tried several of each of the donut/eclair/froyo builds but the lastest kernel along with dzo's fresh froyo have made a world of difference. Way faster than even the donut builds that had previously been the faster of all of them.

2011 Builds
Hi
I see that no new builds are posted and for all the latest downloads are from 2010.
I tried using aTools and also downloaded new Froyo from SourceForge.net, but no luck - Android hangs. What other files should be updated to for all to work?
I understand, that aTools ia a mgnificent tool, and everybody can "cook" his own version at home, but it is not totally clear regarding what should be used as basefiles, or if you download a distribution (like i did system-froyo-all-odex-29-08-11_19-patched.tgz) will it properly work, or what should be done to work.
Any advices?
I just erased my CyonogenMod because was a bit slow and as i read, DZO froyo should do it.
Creating the defaul.txt is not a problem. My concern is the zimage, the initrd and the androidinstall to work together properly.
Cheers
---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------
OK? solved: i had to swith aTools to use a Stable branch and downloaded another initrd. Now all went smooth, and i have latest android on my Kaiser - working fast.
No FileManager, but WiFi works, so as Market, so just download
As a last step, i created with atools an androidupdate file to change my keyboard settings.
That's it.

Astro was not showing up in Market so i went here and downloaded the apps / widgets as a standalone update: forum.smartphonejunkie.com/windows-mobile-apps/202417-dzos-fresh-froyo-2-2-odexed-vanilla-rls6-7-2-10-a.html
I have a single problem now: market does not show all the apps. I search for something, gives me 411 results, but shows only 2 apps. Why is that?
How can market be fixed?

This thread is a YEAR old. Of course there are newer roms after that date

I know there are newer roms, but had not been posted. But no problem, i found what i wanted, and i installed Android. Fixed market also.
I have another problem, and maybe i can reformulate the topic's title:
Which Android build is best for Kaiser's battery life?
I mean, the newest froyo drained my battery in one night. Windows Mobile last 3-4 days - depending on the use.
Tough question?

G1 what should I flash on it?

Hi everyone.
I'm sort of a beginner in this but still already flash some phones (g2, gravity, cliq, ...)
The hardest part for me now is to update this G1 that I have. It's a 32b devices
I've rooted, installed a new radio, dangerspl, spl-signed everything was a little bit confusing there for a while.
I've got Cyanogenmod 6 running on it. But I find it slow not so "stable" (it's working just feels very lagy with some fc). I'm guessing there's something missing.
What do you guys recommend for me to do so I can get a faster, updated rom on that phone?
Need some with at least android 2.1 on it
what partitions on sdcard? ext2 or ext3? pls advice
& have some patience with my request

Are you using setcpu to overlock your phone? If you're running a cyanogen rom or cyanogen based rom the overclock kernel is included, you just need setcpu from the market, or you can get it for free here on xda. It will allow you to overclock. If you are already overclocking, and you need a 2.1+ rom, I suppose you could try SuperE or SuperFly, they are fairly fast.

Personally I'd steer clear of Cyan roms until your more comfortable with setting things up, personally I don't use cyans but thats my choice.
I'd go with either EZterry's asop or the new enom 'official' that is out and has a few more configurable options. All the fun of the fair without the bloatware cm roms have and will ease you into the world of flashing

Relevant post, Gottijr, and thanks for responders. I got a G1 (with DMD64, 1.6 official tmob US latest upgrade) from fleabay for my daughter recently. I'm an experienced Winmo ROM modder/uploader/tweaker for years, but after many many hours of reading over the last few days I'm still a bit confused about what's really appropriate for this phone.
I've rooted so far, but can't seem to get a modified recovery image working ( likely due to dmd64 build?). Mainly curious what I should strive for in that I want primarily stability and app to SD since the internal memory is so limited. Not sure the Cyanogen mod is the right choice since I don't want daily use to require any tweaking. What would the experts recommend?
I don't want to hijack the thread here, but seems like a similar predicament.

Wipe?
With the newer CyanogenMod stuff I have found that wiping and reflashing the same ROM in recovery seems to help substantially on the FCs and lagginess.
I'm not sure why the full wipe / reflash works, but I suppose it has something to do with the inability to do a complete wipe. I haven't tried the new uber wipe that just came out, but I would be curious to see if that had better results as a starting point for a ROM install.
Also, I found I was happier on CyanogenMod with LauncherPlus over the included ADW Launcher. Though that was on the beta of 6.1 and I know the 6.1 stable has a newer version of ADW which might have addressed some of its annoyances.
I recommend setting up Titanium Backup for apps or using Droid Explorer to pull a backup of your ideal application environment. This will make swapping out ROMs quick for testing out what works for you.

For speed and stability its difficult to beat the SuperD 1.11 rom ....essentially a donut (1.6) rom stripped and then filled with 2.1 (eclair) goodness. Sweet.
