I just downloaded OE v2.0 from their website. I had to mess with some javascript settings in order to download it because of the ads but was able to download the 59mb file. anyone else try it out yet?
PASS!!!
PASS!!!
open eclair v2.0 isnt what you think it is. This would be better answered by @wesgarner on twitter. http://twitter.com/wesgarner
dont flash it, and if you did... nandroid back to what you were on before.
There are many red flags out about the site. its not an official open eclair.
good luck!
and.... this should be in Q&A section.
if you got the rom from openeclair.COM i hope you dont attempt to flash it or at least know what you're dealing with.
openeclair.COM is a scam site. and its not supported by the openeclair team.
They even took my post I submitted to that thread on their page and changed it from me calling them out to saying great work. Unbelievable! If you want to not approve my post, fine. But don't put words in my mouth that are flat out lies. I'd delete it.

i actually ended up flashing it, but didnt see any improvements over other eclair roms. im running CM 5.0.8 now
...
Cant really ever go wrong with CM =o)
Im very new to rooting and rom switching so please go easy
I just tried the cyanogen mod 6 for my nexus 1 and i have a few questions about it.
First, i cant really see anything new accept a few things in the cyanogen menu under "settings". Second, i cant see a speed increase either. Stock is actually working faster!
After all the amazing stuff i keep hearing about cyanogen, i just wanna know, what is it about this one (cm6) that im missing??? I just wanna appreciate it like everyone else
I have no clue.. i went back to Geo411m's ROM..
Personally i want a ROM that is more closer to stock as possible, and i really have no need for certain tweaks really. I used the 5.0.8 N1 quite abit before i went over to Froyo. It was allright for me but later on i really like stock based ROM's.
i agree. its seems as though the stock roms work best with froyo (for now anyway) i have been using a rom called "frf_blackbar_v3_signed" and its working great.
Since im new to this stuff (coming from an iphone!) i just figured i was missing out on something right under my eyes! I know its a new rom and it will get better too.
Have faith and give CM some time
They've been working on it for two weeks and its only their first official froyo release(RC1). Im sure things will pick up and get more exciting soon.
I also tested the performance of stock vs cm, and they didn't differ by that much...
Cyanogen has tons of additional features. What I recommended you do is look at his changelog.
He has listed all the new goodies.
Personally I like the kernal which allows overclocking, the music app which has support for flac right out the box, and the renderer which switches the screen color to save you battery.
I will pay attention to Cyanogen ROM for sure..
yea il be keeping an eye on it as well. Can i ask...
What is a kernel?
What is a online kitchen?
why do we have to flash different radios? (do they mean TMO and AT&T radios?)

Exact same here. Went from CM6 to Geo411m's ROM yesterday. Its fast, I know what I have, and battery life is good. Tried LeoFroYo this morning but there was just too much there for what I need. A quick Nandroid restore to Geo411m and that's where I'm staying for now

kernel is the guts of your system
online kitchen is where users can create their own roms
new radios add new features that some roms depend on
i don't recommend you messing with any of these things until you do a lot of reading
from what i understand the only way to truly screw up is if i DONT do a nandroid backup. If i do a nandroid backup once when i just rooted and unlocked the bootloader do i still have to do them every time i wanna put on a new rom to fully ensure that i dont brick or badly screw up my phone?
not necesarily, i nandroid before i do any mods to my system just in case i trash it i can boot it right back up just like it was 5 mins prior
If you truly brick your phone, you won't be able to boot into recovery to restore. You do a nandroid once you have your rom setup the way you want, so when you restore you go back to that point. Cyanogen is one of the best, if not the best. The man went through it with Google, just to bless us with his gift, show some RESPECT!!!!! I just flashed his latest & greatest, and I love it. Although im not a fan of white status bar. I like nothing stock, but I flashed black status bar, and pushed black goggle search box, and rm the apps I didn't want, like twitter and gmail. It's a keeper, and will only get better.The more ability to customize the better. That's why I root in the first place. Options, options, options, I love it.

You don't brick your phone by flashing a new ROM that doesn't contain radio. You don't brick your phone with almost anything that you do, in the worst case - you're left with a phone that doesn't load OS and needs wipe+reflash, and you lose all your settings and data.
But:
You DO brick your phone by flashing the wrong radio / interrupting radio flash before it finishes.
As with the rest of your questions: I suggest you use this forum and Google and read a lot. That would answer your questions.
Also, I was a user of CyanogenMod on 2.1, kept it until LeoFroyo hit 1.2-beta, flashed, liked, and now I'm with Enomther, who has a fast, stable ROM with most of the features Cyanogen has, and it covers everything I want/need. I'll wait for CyanogenMod to integrate Apps2SDExt into framework, and then compare it again.
hi i dont have enough knowledge about custom rom but i just need it because the one which i have on the phone keep on saying update available and i dont want to update it to latest version just wanna stay at 2.2 can anyone provide me a link bcz i dont know which one is 2.2 thanks.
No
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
sorry i dint get you. is there no custom rom available which has 2.2???
By "no" im guessing he meant no..its not that hard bro. if u can write u can read... give a man a fish bla bla bla....
N1
the problem is i have done all the initial steps like unlocked boot loader and rooted after that flashed recovery img now phone has no display so any idea what can be done so i dont go to more than 2.2 thanks
can i flash this one on the nexus one FRF50, Froyo??
LINK
anyone know or can help regarding this please???
If you want to try cyanogenmod, you could install 6.1.1 (based on some form of 2.2.x), I loved it when I was using it (more features and faster than stock), it does looks slightly different from stock 2.2.x though. But I'm not 100% sure what you are asking for in a ROM so please be a little more specific with what you want it to do.
And to the other two dudes who posted, be nice, and don't hate.
As one above me says try cyanogen 6.11
But first you need a proper recovery as it seems you have a slcd device.
Amon Ra 2.2.1 works well on my slcd nexus. Then you can flash whatever you like
Also why dont you try cyanogenmid 7.0? its just awesome blows froyo away, also you might like miui (stable is froyo based. Enough possebilities
To the ppl above: give the guy a break, ok he posted in the wrong section but that doesnt mean you can act like a douche

Guys, I am really now bored with my LG Optimus Black. It's now been SEVEN (7) MONTHS since I stayed on Stock Rom. I never tried and was afraid of trying to flash or change Roms. The only thing I did was to change launchers.
Now I'm really bored and I have now the courage to do this stuff but unfortunately, I'm a noob. I HOPE someone here could direct me or give me a step by step process on how to change make my OB look like a WP7 phone or an official ICS phone? Please? I like the interface of the WP7 in sms and it's font. But the launcher itself is really a battery eater.

If you want it to look like WinMo, simply go to Market and choose one of the lots of different Windows Mobile-like Launchers.

yeah good luck its not that difficult

im guessing you dont want to just theme your phone any longer.... i was the same with you up till abt a month ago and was also pretty confused but figured it out with help from the good good people in here =)
im just gonna put it in step by step
any detailed explanation and links to stuff can be found in Nooby's How To Thread so get your tools there
1) root your phone, most common ways are super one click or blackjack (blackjack only for froyo phones)
2) if not installed ald (with the root) install CWM and superuser
3) once rooted (and have CWM & Su), download rom of choice and place rom's zip file in sd card root and install rom of choice through CWM (check if the rom youre installing requires you to wipe all cache ie davik etc or factory reset, and follow accordingly)
4) once you do that done go through the OB Themes & Apps Forum and look for a compatible theme to the rom youve earlier installed
5) dl the theme of choice, place it in your sdcard root and flash via CWM
6) once flashed make another backup (what i do is take out the first backup file and store it on my computer *do not rename it, take the whole 'TitaniumBackup' folder* although not neccesary i do it anyway cos it makes it easier for me to identify which file i wanna restore from)
7) enjoy your phone
hope this helps.........

Thanks for the guide ! i was reading the "Nooby's How To Thread" but still had some doubts.
I want to install "Zeus v4.02b".
So, if i understood well:
1) root my phone depending on the version i have, since i have stock rom, Blackjack should work.
2)install CWM (as said in the "Nooby's How To Thread"), and just follow the guide to flash a new rom.
3)Do another backup
4) DONE !
misc:
Zeus rom already have a custom kernel included right ? so i don't need to worry about that?

Yup as stated in the Zeus thread, only install the alternative kernel if you have problems with the in built one, and one last minor thing, I don't think there are themes for the v4 variant yet, and have you read up on the Zeus thread? Best to see what are the minor bugs of v4 and how to troubleshoot them first....

i didn't knew that about themes.. but that's not a problem for me.
The only bug that i saw that will bother me is the LG notifications...
Do you recommend other rom ? I was going for nova, but it seems old and outdated (2.2). So i read this, and opted for zeus.
I won't recommend one over the other man, each rom has its own pros and cons, and I don't think its nice to do that
Just try flashing one first,then when you get the actual feel of doing it, you'll be more confident about trying different roms and figuring out which suits you best
To a point its kinda addictive to me now lol... cos with every successful flash, feels like I'm getting a new phone....
Oh and the notification bug is not all bad, I still get my notifications good enough

Well said dude! I really appreciate what you did and for the help. I'll do that as soon as I am not busy. It's hard to do these stuff if it conflicts with your work. Anyway, thanks again for a much shorter and briefer way of the steps.
Off topic:
I've been asking help previously from some people here but unfortunately, I did not got any replies. Hope some of you here could help.
I was requesting to mod the Go Sms Pro application to look like our stock messaging. I tried to do it, but failed. I only wanted to change the Go Sms Pro icon same with our stock icon and change the name of it as Messaging.
I love the interface and the ability to customize with the Go Sms Pro but I dislike the icon. Can anyone here do it? Please.
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
K the way I do it is this, install a home launcher that supports icon changes and change the icon through there, I'm using go sms also and my icon is a bird I made myself hee try to look for my screenshots in the screenshots thread hee
I didn't do much actually man, just parroting what the ppl here have taught me, just don't forget to do the same for newer noobs that turn up over time hee...
One thing I appreciate after reading other forums on XDA boards is the lack of flamers in our OB forums
I'm using adw you can change it without using 3rd party launchers but I believe it includes modifying framework stuff and that is something which is way above my head..... for now.....

I alreaduly tried that. But I wanted to keep the stock launcher. The only thing I hated is that the messaging threads are white. It's somewhat not pleasant in the eye. Unlike Samsung's default messaging, the background is black.

There are different "wipes" it means formatting a partition, to be short.
You need to make a full wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, go to advanced, do a dalvik wipe, and a battery stats is always good, if you install a new ROM. You can read all this in my NOOB guide, if you want to

BTW, if you're going for the Zeus ROM, flash v3.1/2n. It's much more stable than v4. (Unless you REALLY need the GPS fix). Huexxx is working on the issues so just wait
Also, Marvel 2.1 is another good ROM. I say flash all try all
Imho v3n is perfect for me.... gps lock within 20sec max, battery averaging 20 hours moderate use with 3g always on and overall smoothness and dependibility and yeah Gabwerks theme hee now it feels like I cannot look at my phone w/o his ics port and I cannot live w/o Huexx v3 hee

3N should be the best choice for you, since it is the european version. There isnt really a big difference, between v20n or v20b. The main difference is the language support and 3N surely also supports Porugues, but idk about 3b, but it think it also does. You can also try both versions here and stick with the best one for you. As long as Huexxx didnt fix the SoDs, I wouldnt flash a higher version, unless you really know, what you are doing and what you can/should do in case something doesnt work/crashes/gets stuck, and so on... But I guess it wont take too long, till he has figured out, what is going wrong/where the bug is. And meanwhile, you can try all the different ROMs we already have And maybe when you tested all of them for a couple of days, we might already have LEZO/MIUI/a new Zeus/new Marvel/new Noa/maybe an ICS port/stable CM/... so as you can see, you will have/be able to test a lot

Hello,
I am having trouble flashing the newest Zero Hero current release. RC 2.5
I would like to make a few statements before i go on to the issue just to air out a few things.
First i am a noob in all things considered with phones. Long story short i got a Heroc from sprint about 4 months ago. And as a computer aficionado since age 11 ( i am 35 now) i am pretty well verse in PC's, some small coding, and a little bit of linux. I build, repair and breathe PC.
Sooo.. modding phones came relatively came easy to me... I did the research... experimented etc..
Now that i have been modding my phone and experimenting for all this time i have come across my first actual problem that i have not been able to resolve with a quick google search/ XDA search. I flash roms all the time.. use scripts and mods to tweak thing on the constant. I am very well versed in these things and have succeeded 100%
Thank you for reading the above post as i just wanted to relay my knowledge to include that yes im a noob, but i have skills.
Problem:
Upon flashing the latest ZERO HERO RC 2.5 release i have came across a problem
I cannot get this rom to install... i am not talking boot... im talking install.
Heres is my install notes:
(reminder i install roms all the time.. testing/trying... its like a hobby for the last few months, i have hadf no issues EVER)
OK so i come from an CM 7.02 (sorry if i got the numbers wrong.. the latest.. ALTHOUGH i switch roms almost weekly. CM an ZERO seem to be the major roms i use)
TO THE ERROR:
Upon wiping all necessary things (may be noob but i get the things i need to do)
I get this:
"Zero-Hero- Sense- 3.5-RC 2.5-Tweak-03022012.zip (bad)
"open rom manager to report"
i have wipe.. removed.. etc etc.. multiple times.. what am i doing wrong.
This is the first time i have had a prob in the 50 times i have installed DIF roms..
Thanks you guys.. all of you. i especially appreciate Matt and Dast, Jay, AND EVERYONE ELSE involved in the DEV section for this HERO of ours.
And if i wasnt living off disability i would fully donate to these people. And when and if i do have a few dollars left over.. Matt and Dastin and Jay will most def be getting my support
Thanks you all.. I love you guys... and even everyone else..
Thank you.. thank you all

How are you flashing the rom?? What recovery do you have ??? Are you s-off ??? Did you flash anything before or after you flashed the Rom ??? What all did you wipe/format???

You just have a bad download. Redownload the file and verify the md5sum once you have the file on your SD card.
