Download Linda File manager (which allows you to download any file) and download which ever ROM you want. (For hero roms make sure you have the lastest Radio & SPL) Then copy and paste that rom to the root of your SD card and then boot into recovery and flash away!

I got Linda File Manager and I'm about to download the ROM. How do I get it on to the SDCard? And I have another file named Update, do I delete that one?

When you download the rom it automatically goes to /sdcard/download
Yeah if you're not using Cyan1.4 recovery. Cyan1.4 can update from any zip.

Oh well I'm on Cyanogen Recovery Image 1.3.1 so what do I name it to? And also, what's the difference between JACxHero and JACHeroSki and JACHeroSkiLite and everything? Its confusing! And I'm thinking about getting the MiniHeroROM, do I just download the file to the SDCard and Wipe and Flash and that's all or do I have to type stuff into the Console?

Might want to make sure you have your sdcard partitioned for Hero.

I havent used any Hero builds, and I doubt I will. A bird told me that Flash 10 is coming next month to android.
All of the commands should be in the above link.
I would go the CM 1.4 Recovery, so everything in the future is easier to update with the "Any Zip" feature. Just helps to make sure your updating the right file. great for themes etc... no more hassles with renaming stuff.
Astro you can select a file>edit>move then use the up arrow to go back to the root of your sdcard, then menu>edit>paste ... something like that.
Hope this helps.

This link will help answer all of your questions.

i flash this way about 90% make sure u do back up before u flash. case u get get stuck in loop pretty easy flashing to hero. and if don't have radio and spl it maks things harder but u can partition easily from the phone search and u will find it.

Ha! Beat you to the punch lol jk
If you want you can check out the MicroHero build. One of the builds doesnt require the SPL update, just a partitioned sdcard.

From what I read they are pretty fast roms. Theres also the Tiny builds, idk the requirements for those yet.

Help please, I rooted my g1 a while back and forgot everything

I have JF 1.5 installed still and think its about time to upgrade. I have the latest radio but I think I need to update my spl which is the latest version I need to use this rom. Also I have partition magic so I can use that to format the sd card for apps 2 sd right? , I just do a ext2 on one half and ext3 on the other then cops all the files from the zip of 1.7 to the root of the sd card or do I have to put the app folder on ext3 and everything else on ext2 then just flash into recovery and update with the img? sorry for the questions I rooted my phone like 9 months ago and pretty much forgot everything I read and learned.
also I do have root access because I can use wifi teather and other root things but when I went to install cyanogen recovery Image and I go to terminal and type in mount /sdcard it tells me SDcard not found in /etc/fstab and If i type create a dir it says permission denied, can anyone help with that?

Jesus f-ing Christ! Just to shut you up, I'll give you an answer... but know that I'm doing so halfway hoping you brick your phone due to the stupidity of your question.
This isn't the right place to ask questions about SPLs and partitioning cards. However, I'd suggest you look in my sig for info regarding the SPL. Most people that use Partition Magic, Paragon, etc. to partition end up with problems. If you upgrade to Amon_RA's latest Recovery, he's included an automatic partitioning script where you can even select the sizes of the partitions.
As for the files.. You FLASH the zip file via Recovery.

the link you have for Flashing the Haykuro SPL? Follow directions in post #3 HERE. does not work if you try to download the spl. Like I said I have the latest radio so once I do that spl all I will need to do pretty much is install amons latest recovery and have it partition the sd card as well has have a recovery option. Then do a nandroid backup and install the new 1.17.1 of dwangs script and I should be good to go right.

do you have a working link for that spl, again sorry for pissing you off. Just I was in a bad car accident in april been out of work and out of commission haven't really messed with my phone. Last question I promise. I got Amon_RA's latest Recovery and I renamed it to recovery.img but when i try to copy it to the data folder on system it gives me a permission denied error. Is there a file browser on the market that will let me copy it over or is their a way to browser the system files thru the pc and copy it that way. Thanks again.. merry xmas
scratch that sorry, They got me on good meds, found the spl now I just need to get the file to copy to the data folder

hmm I think I might of messed up my root access a while back. I installed what I thought was a modded cupcake firmware but Maybe I did google's. My build number says htc_dream-eng.15 cupcake eng.benji.20090609.153832 test keys and my kernel version is 2.6.27.24-cm [email protected] firmware 1.5. Do I need to go backwards or do I still have root access cause Like I said wifi tether still works. btw I am going to copy all of this and move the whole thread to the right forum board and stop posting in this one.

So do I or do I not have root, also if anyone can help me to copy that recovery.img to the system folder so I can do a nandroid backup and partition it the right way that way I can get apps 2 sd working and that new rom I want.

Need Help From The pros

So I'm fairly new to android about three months now, and need help.....
1) How do you modify system files and apk's? (tried Estrongs but it won't let me use root access even when i click the always allow prompt)
2) Can someone explain exactly how i partition for Apps2SD ( PM me if possible)
3) Can you change bootscreens with a .zip flash? if so does anyone have a link for the cynanogen mod nexus boot as used in Darchvanilla??
4) How to change to a normal 2.1 lockscreen?
Thank you and any help is deeply appreciated.....

3.) yes
4.) define normal?

Normal by the 2.1 vanilla lockscreen (I Sware I hate the HTC lock,lol)
and could you post a few instructions for apps2sd because i'm still not sure,

to remove the htc lock screen just pull the lockscreen.apk via adb or using the new fresh kitchen.... or you could install fresh's new 2.1 rom. apps2sd should set up automatically as long as the rom you pick has it integrated. you have to make sure your sd card is partitioned before flashing the rom.

I can concur with this ^
If you want a good 2.1 rom then go with damage or fresh. If you want a 1.5 id go with pancake without sense, super fast!

The changes from that package have been included in the linux-msm kernel tree. No need for this package anymore. Try a recent build from the autobuild service:

Hii QNBT,
Well, there are no flashable android ROMs for x1...the chefs are tryin hard to fix all the issues in ext2 and fat32 androids for x1...once they are done with it, we can expect an Android ROM that u can use as the Primary os for ur X1..

Sounds awesome! Thanks for the reply!
I guess it will be running a lot smother that way as well.

yes, it will run smoother from nand. also updated kernel (2.6.35) speeds things up.
but here's the catch:
nand-flash is pretty useless at the moment, because kernels aren't finished. there are still lot's of driver-bugs present which prevent android from being an every-day system.

sweet, i didn´t think that the chefs where working on nand anymore but this sounds awesome =)

There is also an option to install boot Manager... where u could select winmo/ android to boot.. I think you can find it inside xda site..

Tried it but it didnt work. I put the downloaded folder in /windows and rebooted my phone, it just started like normal.

Did you tried THIS?? Works for me, it will let you choose whether to boot Android or Winmo when your phone start. Any problem about using this app can ask me..

Thank you! Yes I did try this, but I'm unsure if i picked the right version:
I downloaded this: Gen.Y DualBOOT v1.0.6.0 CABs (QVGA|WQVGA|VGA|WVGA)
All i did was extract this to my sdcard and then move it to /windows.
Is there any part that i actually missed?

Yes you downloaded the right version.
1. You no need to extract all into your SD card, you only need Gen.Y DualBOOT WVGA v1.0.6.0-Storage Card.cab this version.
2. After copy Gen.Y DualBOOT WVGA v1.0.6.0-Storage Card.cab into your SD card, you have to install it to \Storage Card, not \Windows.
3. After install, you have to edit your registry (Use total Commander), the location is at [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT]
4. Find a registry named "AndroidBootFolder", click it and change the content.
5. If your Haret located at your root of SD Card, just leave the content blank
6. If your Haret located in folder, like example NPKBOOT, you have to put NPKBOOT in the content and Save it.
7. After edit your registry, restart your phone and see whether you got the dual boot option or not, if yes that's mean the software install successfully.
Hopes I helped you and sorry for my grammar..

I will try that when I have some time off, ill report the result after! *thanks*

It works! Thanks!
But the part where you said "leave the content blank", that actually means that i should remove the value, so i got a error message and change it back to "00 00"

Nice tips. Wondering if installing Android this way affects winmo performance ?

For me does not affect the WM speed. Dual boot software help us skipping the step booting into Winmo before entering Android, it was like a 'shortcut'.
