Hey guys
I couldn't find anything about this.
Is it possible to get the lock screen and the weather app from the Sensation on our IS without flashing a different ROM?
I like the stock ROM but I want that lock screen and the weather app...

Thanks. I cant get it to work though.
Flashed the lockscreen and weather app with CWM. Killed my phone. Just startet looping at the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen.
No problem to fix and go back off course but still...
Can anyone tell me how to get it to work?
I tried flashing CoreDroid. It looks very nice and have many of the things i want. But i want it in the stock ROM.
Anyone can give my a kind of idiot guide to emplement some 3.0 stuff in my IS?
Me too, I'm new to customising Android. I have done iphones and psp in the past but the information is not clear on this topic and seems to be all over the place and spread accross many topics.
I currenty have flashed the standard virgin Rom to debrand my IS and I have made it s-off and its now rooted with clockwork mod recovery installed. I would like to install some Denver 3 stuff to the standard Rom but being a noob I'm reluctant to try with out a better understanding.
Could someone please give us noobs a straight forward guide in doing this.
Cheers
Pat.

why don't you try the Virtuous Unity 1.25.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122805
It works very well for people who like sense!
Yeah just downloaded it and about to give it a shot. I hope I dont screw up my phone. Never done this before.
I just figured it would be easier to add the stuff to an existing rom rather than flash a complete custom one.
Cheers
Pat
I personaly don't like the Sense 3.0 to much animation which gets kind of boaring after some time and sucks performance and battery!
Just my oppinion
well, with a Nabdroid Backup you should ot be worried to try a new ROM as you can always go back!
I tried the first relase of the Cyanogen ROM and that's the one for me so far.
I already liked the stock ROM on the Nexus S - but not the device itself.
So the Cyanogen ist very close - but better!
Is it easy to do? the instructions seem simple enough. I have made a back up of my existing rom, so if something goes wrong I can re flash my original rom and be back to square 1 correct.
Correct - it is a full image.
You go back exactly to the point where you created the recovery.
I love this feature - it makes it possible to try out a different ROM without loosing all the work you did on the ROM.
Last thing before I do it. It says to do a full wipe? Is this done in the recovery menu? do I do wipe data/factory reset as well as wipe cache partition?
Or is this a different thing all together?
Cheers
PAt
A wipe data/factory reset is sufficient. People will say do it three times, but you only have to do it once.

All good, alreay done it and applied the fix for the soft buttons.
I was thinking, Apparently the incredible s comes with all of Australias maps pre installed. Now that I have flashed this rom, would I have lost these and if so is there a way to get these onto my system
Cheers

Im really just after the lock screen and the weather widget. The other stuff imnot fussed about.
The resolution on the unity rom is a bit funny. It all functions great tho.
I tried the android revolution HD and that worked except for the market wouldnt download.
Is there a way to just flash the lock screen and widgets to a stock un modified virgin au ROM?
Cheers
Pat
Would HIGHLY recommend this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088498
There's nothing different to the Stock Rom apart from the fact it runs alot more smoothly.
You then install this:-
•HTC Sense 3.0 "All in 1" (version 0.3) for Android Revolution HD 1.0.x
And voila - Sense 3.0
Thats the one I had and the market didnt work, formated and flashed it 3 times.
hello guys! im also a newbie here(esp in android) but i also want to S-off my incredible S, i know that there are already several topics regarding s-off but honestly i dont know how to perfom it and im really afraid to brick my phone, can you please help me guys! any help will be greatly appreciated! thanks : )
I love so much AOSP Roms for our Galaxy S I9000..I have done a nandroid back-up of Galnet MIUI v4 and Cyanogenmod 7..so if i want one of two roms i have to format system/data/cache/datadata from recovery and then restore the back-up..
My question is if is there a way to manage to do a dualboot between this two (or others) Roms..??
I think if it is possible it will be a great develoment for our Galaxy S..
Maybe i'm sayng a stupid thing but i want to read your opinions about this..
Cheers
i dont think its stupid at all, this would be a great feature! I have seen this in other android devices!
I've always wondered this too.
This was done on my previous device (HTC Hero) but it was a bit of a pain. The second Rom was installed on SDcard which was slow, and was FCing constantly, etc.
Whoever's interested can have a look at the HTC Hero forum section. It was ported by Kendon (he was part of VillainROM back then, don't know now).
Hope some developpers can do this ..
If it was possible on Htc Hero with less memory and less power it could be done also on Galaxy S I9000..
But Htc Hero is Htc and Galaxy S is Samsung so..i don't know..
I'm sure this week in dev I saw a trial program to do just this, running up to 4 roms! Will hunt down link if I can! Brb

Hi there,
Dual booting is kinda possible.
First one is to have very slims roms so you can install both on the nand and select one using a modded recovery.
Second one is to use redbend_ua script that will backup the current running rom, and then install another one and run it. The operation takes between 5 to 10 min depending on the rom and thats the only possibility to switch from 2.2.1 to 2.3 and vice-verca without having to flash bootloaders as redbend can flash bootloaders.
Also using redbend can be tricky as it can dump and write on partition but if it fail at flashing bootloaders you will be bricked.
Bricked phones can still be recovered using j-tag or 301k resitor.
Here is an attempt by z4ziggy:
http://z4ziggy.wordpress.com/2010/09/15/rom-flashing-using-redbend_ua/
The script in this page does not work but it can be improved.
You should check with him and some good dev like supercurio or codeworkx.
Also before applying any scripts, post it here and ask other people to see if it seems correct.
Happy flashing.
quick edit:
Be sure to dump the whole rom and restore the whole image even empty bml as it may have an importance.
We have to ask to developpers..
Not really, try to make a script that dump some bml, then try to restore them is it works then your good to go further.
Finally when you have a working script use tegrak kernel sources to include a "boot selection" as he did.
(on tegrak at phone boot you can enter recovery using the "home" button, change that to run the script so if you wait it boots normally, if you push "home" it dump the current rom and restore another one to boot on it)
Editing again:
If you use 2.2.1 bootloaders only, you can symlink an rom.img at boot and boot on it, it is easier but it is also pretty slow. (see nexus S rom port by supercurio)
This looks amazing

It is a really cool App, installing the roms takes some time, but switching between them is quick and easy.

OMFGodddddd!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!! This is like legalizing drugs for flasher addicts!!
EDIT: bought it, and playing with it right now
edit: I like it alot, set the newer cm7 as my phone rom, and installed vicious miui in slot 1 just to play around with, its pretty fun, this makes me a flash a holic x5 or is that 4
Is this a must?
really cool app but this thread belongs in the themes & apps section
Playing around with this now, thx for the post. Never would have thought this would have been remotely possible ..therefore I never looked for anything like it via market lol.
cool app, but, how does it work?
is it automating the flashing process?
is it changing the boot.ini to make my phone look for the other os install on the sd card?
am I flashing like mad going in between roms?
I find these questions need to be answered first before I install this.
the way I understand it is
1.main rom i flashed on my phone internal memory+(kernel)
(on SD)
{
rom2+(kernel)
rom3+(kernel)
rom4+(kernel)
rom5+(kernel)
}
and the app works by flashing an update.zip that changes where the phone looks to boot.
Am I correct in my understanding?
EDIT:

Useful answers
1. Will this also work if you have a froyo rom and gb rom that you are switching between?
Yes u can install whatever roms u want to whatever slots gb roms froyo roms whatever makes u happy they're all completely separate it's like having 5 different phones basically
**** remember your radios folks we have mr1 and mr2 some roms need separate radios so if you use the app and swap, you wont have any data untill you flash a new one through hboot.
2. Are you saying that when you flash between roms, the app will auto wipe data, cache and dalvik?
The app creates imgs into the slots when u install a fresh rom to a slot u should check all the check boxes to wipe data cache and system but it doesn't wipe the data cache and system on ur phone just the slots data cache and system the app doesn't touch any of ur data on ur phone just makes it's own in the sdcard
3. Let's say I have Chevy's Froyo rom and his SS GB rom on there. If I flash from GB to froyo, then back to GB. Will I have to restore apps?
No each slot is saved all of it's data stays there nothing is ever wiped again just like having five phones basically all of ur slots are completely separate all of ur data is separate and saved nothing is lost
it aint workin right for me. I tried doing an install from the sdcard and it is telling me i dont have enough space. but i have 1.37 gb free!
This app is kick a**! I know one of the devs that made this app back from my D1 days (he was co-creator of one of the best D1 ROM's IMO) and he is an amazing dev! I was lucky enough to test this app and it is def worth the $$ if you're a person that can't decide on 1 ROM or you just like to try all the latest and greatest ROM's that drop.

So my question is...does it run the ROM from the SD card?
If so...how is the speed/lag once the ROM is booted up?
I like the idea of having different ROMs to test, but I'm wondering how much time you'd be saving if it takes that long to install a ROM initially.
A lot of these Devs have nightlys or almost nightlys....
Very interesting...
looks pretty retarded to me... right up there with rom manager. i cant wait to see how it effs things up for some beginner noobie
not all roms work,you may get FCs during setup... yeah looks pretty amazing.
think ill stick to manually wiping and restoring my nandroids after i get them set up.

That's what has kept me from purchasing it. It's been in the market for a few days now but if the rom runs off the sdcard it could cause issues.

Was it one of the devs from Sourcery rom? That was the best rom IMO so that's why I ask.

That leads to my question. Isn't this basically like restoring a nand backup? Maybe this app makes it easier? IDK. I guess it's worth checking out.

On initial setup do you need to reinstall your current rom?
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
Yes, it runs from the sdcard. Lag is minimal if you let the kernel settle when you boot one up. On my thunderbolt I don't really notice any lag and i don't even overclock.

So, I see that there is a 2.1 update for the HTC Hero CDMA from Sprint and I'm very interested in upgrading to be able to use some of the better software out there that doesn't work on 1.5.
The thing is, I finally managed to fix this phone from a bad rooting procedure (it's a used phone, the previous owner rooted it using who-knows-what method and ROM, which caused the wifi to stop working) after spending weeks on the problem and finally have a good, fully-functional phone. So, now, I'm a bit paranoid about any rooting or upgrade procedure, though I suspect and official update from a Sprint shouldn't cause a problem.
I'm also considering doing a basic rooting (no custom ROM) so I can boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and make a complete backup, but, again, I'm very leery about it.
Is there any possibility that rooting, in and of itself, could cause the wifi to stop working or was it that the specific ROM that was installed didn't have the right wifi driver?

Dude there are literally thousands of people running custom roms flawlessly ....taking that in to consideration, what do you think the answer to your question is? Lol for liability purposes we all have to say "there's a risk" but my 11 year old sister rooted her evo and flashed cm7 without any help

Fair enough, the custom ROM that was used must have been a crappy one.

Well we've had some that had broken wifi long ago but really you probably just could've flashed a new working kernel over it and the problem would be gone. If you wanna stay stock-ish I'd recommend fresh 2.1 but if you wanna really see it fly flash kush-deck gb. Flash the. 29 kernel after you boot and you will never regret it

Thanks, I'll check those out sometime. Have you got links for them?
Believe me, you don't want the stock Sprint 2.1 on your Hero. It's terrible. Super slow and it freezes constantly. I ran it for a short time after Sprint released it and that's when I decided to root. If I remember correctly you also can't put your apps on the SD card with it which really limits how many apps you can install.
I am running CyanogenMod 6.0 Froyo with ADW Launcher (built into the Rom) and its snappy and reliable but still has a lot of the bells and whistles. Try Beautiful Widgets and you can have a homescreen clock with animated weather just like the HTC Sense homescreen.
I tried CM 6.1.1 recently (updated froyo with new features) but it used more internal memory than 6.0 which made my phone laggy.
Be sure to get the appropriate Google apps zip file with the new Market

Is there any way to get dual/multi boot in SGS GT I9000.
Or any way to change ROM with out flashing, Like a live disc. where i install a ROM in external SD and swap it to change to a different ROM. A crazy idea.
Lots of ROM's to tryout & only one phone to test them. LOL
Every day i try out a new ROM, The flashing part is really easy....Restoring part is a pain in the ass.
Any suggestion.
