man definitely looks like im in a little over my head here, is this the method most "legit" devs use?
I've tried to use that method 2 or 3 times now, and every time once i get to the actual flashing it wont install so I would like to find a way to do this too
Hey much thanks for the info. After being a "flash-a-holic" I've decided I want to at least give it a shot... there's bits from each ROM I enjoy and some that I really miss from others.... I want a completely custom ROM and I want to do it. Gonna give this a shot and see.
wrong thread....oops

I don't know if this is the right place for this but I was wondering if someone could make a communication manager for me with this format? I just found it on a smartphone forum & I really like the layout & color. I have attached a pic & the cab just in case you need it. I would really appreciate it if someone could make this for the wing or if its already been made, point me in the right direction to get it. Thanks in advance!

Man I didn't really wanna have to flash my ROM just to get this. I like the standard ROM. It does the functions I need it to do. I guess I'll just keep looking around here. Thanks for the help

then look at the "CAB collection" in my signiture... there is a link to a .cab for dialer
good luck.
Does anyone know if I can make it so each one is highlighted so I don't have to use the stylus to turn wifi on and off? I'm using opentouch 3.0 on my wing and when I go up and down on the communication manager there is no highlighter.

Hey the stock ROM does everything I need it to do. I don't run alot of applications at once so I don't need it to run faster or anything like that, I just want everything to match. I want it all black as much as possible. And I definately don't wanna void my warranty. I've only had my phone a couple months so I don't wanna flash anything till after the warranty is up
hey, just want to check, if i flash my rom and put one of these custom roms on, will i still be able to use activesync? I use my phone for e-mail and all my contacts etc, so its kind of important
just rooted g1 on 1.6 with androot and installed rom manager do i still need to upgrade the radio. i want to run 2.2 and possibly overclock it any help would be great
There are numerous Froyo ROMs available in the development forum. Each with their instructions on how to install them and the requirements beforehand.
Most of these ROMs will have settings which you can use to overclock. If you are rooted, which you'll need to be, then overclocking wouldn't be too difficult with the available apps already out there anyway.
depends on which rom you want.
I recommend Sparksmod 2.1 which is what i am currently using.
Its very fast , one of the best froyo roms out there.
OH and ive recently been hereing a lot of good things about superaosp dm rom, I might actually try it myself, if i do ill let you know how good it is.

SuperAosp is lighting fast. I am using it myself, and I garantee it works like a charm. See my sig for the link to the Developer site. (FYI it's in Spanish, so you'll have to translate it if you do not read Spanish).
Thanks guys I appreciate all the info. I just need a little help for a friend. I didn't want to flash a Rom on his phone and him being a noob have a bunch of stuff crash and him get nervous about trying roms. Since I don't have a g1 I haven't tried any roms for it. Really appreciate your quick responses.

The best thing to do is read the instruction until you understand what needs to be done. Once you feel comfortable and understand the DEV instruction. Then there should not be any problem.
Maybe let your friend trial a couple of ROM's before he settles on his preference?

You will have to flash back to stock by the method that works best for you. Read the CM7 thread as it tells you how to flash back to stock from CM7 instead of opening a new thread. Also please make sure you have a good understanding of what you are doing and how. Too many people see a flashing guide on line and flash and have no idea WTH they are doing and then get upset when they have a brick. Flashing is not something to be taken lightly.

First of all, you will need to unlock your bootloader using the procedure at HTCDEV.com. This is a fully documented procedure by HTC and if you are unable to read, learn and use this procedure, then you should reconsider trying to mod your phone.
The best way to get beyond the confusion is to read, study and learn.

Hello,
Seen this being brought up a lot but i have the galaxy note which was on ICS standard before, I then did the update to JB through Kies or via the software update button and after a while realised it was slow and that everyone was having the same problem. I then found everyone said to do a clean install and a hard reset and just start fresh which I have done. After a couple of weeks now its is still running slow and laggy and just painfully annoying, can be there for a bout 5 seconds sometimes longer waiting for apps or things to open.
Any ideas on what I can do?
And like I said its all standard haven't put a custom rom or anything on there as I don't know how to do any of it but is it worth learning how to do it and doing it?
Thanks

want to try custom roms? Check allmost all of them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28517899
also the steps are mentioned on 1st post of all the roms. Be on safe kernel before formatting or flashing.
Yup, your experience pretty much sums up the JB update for the note - c**p. However there are a few things you can do, first install a ROM with an XXLT4 base or higher, after that then uninstall as many apps as possible that you won't use and that you can live without. It will be a bit better but still, not as fast and smooth as ICS.
Revert back to ICS! Flash the ics stock via ODIN. Download from sammobile.com

I think I would like to yes but every time I have tried I cant do it and get confused lol.
As I said my phone is completely standard not been flashed or anything so would need a whole step by step guide to do it on and would then need the ROM or OS whatever its called to install. I have a galaxy ace to test it on. I think the thing that was scaring me was that my phone is still under warranty so wouldn't want to ruin that but then I might try it anyway??

There is a detailed guide provided on how to root in the forum and it's very safe. I rooted the phone the next day i bought it! Don't worry u can try it, the methods prescribed here are very safe, just follow the instructions to the letter. And custom ROMs will give u a much different experience altogether!

Yes totally, if you have a look at the touchwiz based ROMs you have the inherent samsung features with new customisations. Some other custom ROMs like CM based give you a native Android experience. Try them out!

Need a step by step guide for dummies on this as like I said never done it before haha, im a computer engineer as my day job but just cant work these out
Im a bit consumed, so what is the very first thing I need to do is it flash my device or ROM it? If im right the ROM is the operating System isn't it?

Follow this...
Firstly root your phone. The guide for rooting is there in dr.Ketan's thread. I'd have posted the link but I'm currently on my mobile device and it's tedious. Just look in the Android development forum and the thread for how to root will be right there. Next after you root and flash a CWM recovery (you'll find the kernel with such a recovery by Phil and it'll be there in the same forum that teaches you to root). After this, you can flash a ROM (yes it's similar to operating system!). Try ROMs like the PAC which are feature packed and stable. Please follow all the instructions to the letter. And do not forget to hit the thanks button

ah lovely ok im going to look for this thread and see if I can find it. Like I said I have a galaxy ace I might try it on first to see if it goes well and then I can work on my note to see what happens. Once I finally manage to root my phone I will then try a ROM and see how I go, if I have any questions ill post them on here and see if you can help :fingers-crossed:
thanks, have hit that button too!
