Hi guys I just recently did the "How to Root Sprint 2.1 Release for CDMA Hero" in the developers area and I need help choosing rom. I mostly use my phone to surf the net/update my FB/ check my gmail/ download music from music junk etc. I want to be able to do everything I normally do on a normal 2.1 updated hero minus the usesless nascar apps/footprints etc. I want to be able to have live wallpaper and be able to tether as well as save apps to my SD card.
Can you guys suggest me at least 3 separate roms that will allow me to do this? Each one I click seems tempting and really considering giving them a shot. I hear everyone saying do a NANDROID backup what is that exactly? Where do I go to see how to do this? I definitely need help. I also want to know how can I go back to my stock 2.1 sprint rom if in the end I just don't end up liking any of these modified roms (doubt it). I will try and keep browing and reading. Thanks guys for helping me out.
Try them all. It's the only way.
But how it's my question I don't see tutorials...I just wanna make sure I don't f up my phone. i have insurance but still i'm cautious about it. I was thinking this one
ALOYSIUS 2.1

I just responded to your PM
I used the 1.5 Versions of Aloysius, it was good. Haven't tried the 2.1 versions.

Question is, do you like Sense? If not, go for DarchDroid. (Unless you use MMS, then go for Ic3Rom). If you like sense, go for DamageControl.
Damagecontrol is a great Rom. Very stable and has built in UI program for disabling Sprint apps, launcher, live wallpaper or even sense all together. There's also apps2sd, JIT compiling, memkiller adjustments, dalvik to SD and swapping options. Just be cautious you don't change a setting without prior research to see what effects it will have on your system. I've been on DC for about a month now and can say this Rom is killer.
And as ALWAYS...do a nandroid backup before making any changes.

To do a nandroid you will need a program that can flash a recovery image (allows you to boot up your phone without your OS). I have ROM Manager. But there are others. Once you have flashed a recovery image, backup your OS. This will do a complete backup of your device, so you can always restore where you previously were. I would also recommend making a copy of your backup to your computer HD for safe keeping. Android Police has a couple excellent tutorials on accomplishing this.

Personally, I recommend Fresh. Simple, it's got everything you need, and it just seems to work better than DC on my device. DC had some issues with su and felt slow to me.
Hello folks,
Well I recently made the switch from iPhone OS to Android , picked up a used Nexus One in pretty good shape, no scratches, like new and what not, the phone is amazing BUT I am having a hard time understanding some stuff (I thought I was getting a stock N1, and it seems it has been loaded w/ custom ROM and is rooted and unlocked. -which not bad in my opinion, but...
I still have some questions, I am trying to update to Froyo 2.2, and im not sure if I will ever get OTA since the phone has been messed around with and if i manually update to 2.2 it will cause trouble.
1) When I boot the phone it shows the "lock" to be opened, so I am assuming it is oem unlocked, the phone has working WiFi tethering (just like in 2.2)
2) also in the menu of the phone there is an app "superuser permission" which thats why assume the phone is also rooted
And finally In the "About phone" I get the following:
firmware 2.1-update1
baseband
32.36.00.28h_4.06.00.12_7
kernel
2.6.34-cyanogenmod
mod version
cyanogenmod-5.0.8-n1-test3
build
epe54b
I have reset the phone to factory settings, but the same info comes up everytime. the phone runs flawless, no lags, overall i love the phone.
And finally if anybody knows please feel free to share, I am trying to open port 80 on the N1 while it is running Wifi tethering and the only way i have found to do this is if the N1 is rooted, correct me if im wrong... i have a rovio that is refusing to connect to the N1s network...
Any positive input will be highly appreciated! thanks!
Your not very confused!
Your phone is unlocked and has root. its running cyanogenmod-5.0.8-n1-test3.
You can install a custom froyo rom without too much of a problem from recovery. Remember to nandroid-backup everything from recovery first.
Get into recovery by holding down the volume down button as you press the power button to power on the phone.
Heres an example of tethering via usb/forwarded port
http://blog.tangorangers.com/2009/02/tetherbot_android_and_slackware_how_to/
you can install 2.2 with no problem but you have to manually do it. you might get a notification for ota's but you won't be able to install them. just install it manually.
Man you guys are awesome! thanks for clearing this up for me.

Yeah man, you're money. For a used phone it is set up in possibly the best way possible for someone new to android and ready for you to throw the new CM6 ROM on there. You even have the proper radio already. You're good to go.
You can install Froyo in various ways. If you want total stock you can follow the instructions on this link and let OTA froyo install itself. If you need root you can download that from HERE
This method requires SDK installed with Fastboot on your computer with mandatory USB Drivers.
Or you can go the very easy way and use ROMs that is allready cooked, ready to flash in recovery right over your old ROM, like the link that is in my signature. It works great for me and is pretty much stock with root and a couple of extras you can delete via ADB if you don't need them..
Just download the Rom, drop it on the root of your SD Card and flash away in Recovery. all done!
What you are running is a test version of Cyanogen which is not the stable version. So it seems the previous owner didn't bother flashing it.
Hello,
Sorry to sound like a complete noob in advance!
I have a new Samsung Captivate I896 on Rogers in Canada. I have ryans OCLF lagfix installed atm but i'm really interested in flashing this rom (will be my first one) and am wondering if it will work on this phone.
Also, is it just a backround fix? Will I still be able to use launcher pro, and will my phone still look the same with Froyo 2.2?
thanks in advance!

Speedmod is not a ROM, but a kernel.
As to your other questions, you have a LOT of reading left to do.

Agreed. Just to be save do alot of reading before attempting anything really lol. There are stickies in the Development section start there.
Ok so I did a little more reading. I896 and I897 are essentially the same. I'm not flashing a rom, just a kernel, so there should be no issue with the 3G problem mentioned in the wiki.
It won't change my rom or anything about the device other then how the filesystem works.
Thanks!

Hi, I'm pretty new here too, and I have to tell you that know one will give you a straight answer. There's a lot of' tribal knowledge', and it seems that people would rather teach you how to unbrick your phone than to flash it without issue.
First of all, hook up to Samsung Kies and update your phone to Froyo. If you are on Rogers it's an official update, don't worry about flashing any other roms yet.
Next, Use the option in the OLCF to unlagfix.
Next, you will need to root your phone. OCLF is practically obsolete, as the developer does not update anymore. Your best bet is Superoneclick. Read all instructions first. It is very easy and effective.
After you have the phone rooted, you can now install Titanium Backup. This will save all of your apps, contact info, settings, virtually everything on the phone, it will save them to a folder on your external SD. drop and drag this folder to your desktop in case anything goes wrong. I never had a problem.
You should backup your kernel. I used Neldar's SGS Kernel Flasher. It will save your kernel as an 'update.zip' in your root folder. Drag this to your desktop and put it into a folder called 'i897 orig kernel' or what have you, in case something goes wrong. I never had a problem.
Now you can flash SpeedMod. The developer's website, which is linked to in the thread's first post, will walk you though it. You will first need to install ODIN. The SpeedMod developer has a step-by-step on how to flash SpeedMod using ODIN on the developer's page. Make sure you choose a Speedmod Kernel that is intended for the Captivate, not the I9000, and that you chose the one for ODIN, not the ClockWorkMod version. Follow the steps in the Developer's page.
When you have done that, reboot into recovery mode and you should see Green Text. From here you can enable the lagfix and other tweaks. use the volume keys to select the option you want and the power button to select. under the options, it will show you which tweaks you have enabled or disabled.
Remember to select the most stable SpeedMod release, the one that is posted in the Forum (K12U-T4) is a TEST VERSION, hence the 'T'. The latest stable version as of this writing was K12T, as posted in the developer's page. I have had great results with this one.
You may find that you don't need to flash a custom ROM, I have found this setup very satisfying.
Good Luck!
Wow,
Thank you so much clemmie! That's was succinct and very helpful, especially the part about the proper way to back up my stuff.
I uninstalled OCLF just now, and it seems my phone runs at the same speed (aka fast) as it did with the lag fix installed!
Going to flash this kernel tonight or tomorrow, I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks again!
Good to hear. There would be a lot less smoke and mirrors if people would just be straightforward and post step by step instructions with links, to give people what they want. I hope what worked for me will work for you, and I encourage you to share what you learn as well.
Kernel flash done! Screen is initially very different looking thanks to the amoled mod. Success! Backed up, thanks for all the help.
hey clemmie,
i heard that there's some issues with voice quality due to the Speedmod kernel being initially i9000-based and that it's recommended to flash a i9000-based modem. Are you having any issues with using a stock i896 modem or do you recommend something else?
Yeah, that is true, but I haven't had any problems with the stock modem. The phone works as well in-call as any other I've owned. I wonder if there is a difference between the AT&T build vs. the Rogers build. It seems that it's the AT&T folks that have issues.
Hi,
I've been wanting to do this but I'm a bit wary if this will put the ATT splash screen on boot as well. Also, I like how my phone looks like now with ADW launcher and beautiful widgets installed, I'm just wondering if installing this mod would change my appearance settings too.

Are you on Rogers? Earlier versions of the SpeedMod kernel had the AT&T splash screen, but newer versions have a simple black screen similar to the stock Samsung boot logo.
Installing the SpeedMod kernel will not change the configuration, apps, or settings of your apps. There are some settings that you can tweak in recovery mode but they are mostly file system tweaks. You will however notice that screen resolution is sharper. Your phone will run smoother and more efficiently with better battery life. You can still flash any custom or stock ROM with SpeedMod or without SpeedMod.
Yes I am on Rogers. However, I can't seem to find the stable version K12T that you mentioned on your instructions from the developer's page.
If you click on the hotlinked 'SpeedMod' in my 'tutorial' post, it will take you to the XDA page dedicated to the SpeedMod revisions. Right now there is a 13A Test version posted, but the latest stable version is now K12U. If you click where it says 'more info and downloads', it will take you to the developer's(Hardcore) blog, 'Tourist In Paradise'. The revisions are listed there. I would bookmark this page and check back frequently, as Hardcore is constantly updating. However, I'll link you to the latest stable release for ODIN, K12U:
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B-3n...WJmNTUtZDVmNThmMmNhZTRm&export=download&hl=en
Thanks for that! I just did this and although it didn't show the ATT boot screen, it shows the Galaxy S I 897 screen after the I 896 though. Thanks again!
Glad to hear you had success. Not so hard after all, eh?
After using this for a day or two:
I can't believe how fast my phone is. I thought it was fast before with (and then without) the oclf. I can barely keep up!
Battery life seems improved.
Screen is perfect. The lowest brightness setting is much better and more comfortable for low light usage.
I lost 1000 points off quadrant, but quadrant doesn't matter.
The only real downside is call quality took a hit. It's a bit static-y and echo-y.
I'll look into this though and see if I can find a solution, but if you have any tips let me know.
Looks like you are a candidate for a modem flash. Let me know if you find something that works, there is a lot of info on swapping modems for SpeedMod. Maybe I'll try one too!
Hey clemmie (or anyone), if I want to install voodoo lagfix - how abouts would I do that if the SpeedMod kernel already comes with / is based on sztupy's Universal Lagfix (enhanced) and if voodoo is a kernel itself (unless I'm wrong about this)?
If you flash the SpeedMod kernel, voodoo lagfix comes integrated with the kernel. It's a master of enabling it from the recovery menu.

ok..lemme do the honors....quick ques...am flashing firefly 2.2(downloading it now)....i flashed back to stock JF6...do i need to flash to some base ROM for firefly 2.2 to work??
I'm asking cause i was on darky8.1, then flashed directly to 9.3b1 which resulted in incorrect orientation(i9000), then i read the instructions which expected me to flash to base(resurrection), then flash a captivate fix and then flash to 9.3b1...!!!!
You should be able to flash directly as long as you flash FF 2.2 full not the update package.

Nope, you can download the FF 2.2 from the site. LINK
Pick any one of the mirrors. This will get you FF2.2 with the clock in the status bar.
If you want to remove the clock, you can flash the no clock package.
EDIT: Spaz beat me to it. Thx Spaz.
ok cool..thanks!! lookin forward to enjoy this ROM
..its really irritatin to have to flash to base ROM's and then flash to the updated ROM's....

I flash to FireFly 2.2 and its looks awesome + I've been looking for a ROM that had the fix for when I connect the AUX cable to the car radio I can talk to anyone on the phone and hear them on the car speakers... This ROM has that fix finally, I love it... no more Blutooth head sets. But I have a big issue and is that when I make my 3rd or 4th reboot my phone freeze on the "F" boot logo. It does that vibrating action once and then twice like when there's an error. I have flashed my phone before so many times and had no issues and I have been using all FireFly ROM's ever since It came to life. This 2.2 ROM I have flashed like 4 times and I keep having the same problem and I don't want to flash any other ROM only but this one. What can be the reason for this problem? Please Help!

That is quite a strange problem.
Lets try to troubleshoot it.
Did you install any third party app that needs to load at startup?
Did apply any themes?

Not sure! but the only one I can think of would be "Launcher Pro", but I have always used it, and this problem has never happened. When you install it, you need to reboot again in order for Launcher to take effect. I do need to point out that before this flash I when to stock with Odin. I never have the need to do this cause I use too flash directly from "Rom Manager" but lately I was noticing that when I flash using ROM Manager It wasn't taking me to the green menu, it was taking me to what I think it was the stock menu with blue, yellow and a red letters where red was an error message,so that's why I decided to go to stock and then I did all the steps needed in order to flash a New ROM using the thread from the development section then I flash FF 2.2 and ever since when I boot like for the third or fourth time it freezes. I hope for a solution... I'm only digging FireFly right now cause lets face it...
Thanks a lot for your attention...
Several Questions
I've been using Firefly since it came out and upgraded to 2.2 last week. I do have a couple questions after having used 2.2 for awhile.
1. Why were the dark apps removed (gmail & market)? It seems like Firefly has a darker theme and using the modified apps as default makes sense. Maybe a CWM zip containing all the dark apps would be an option or links to the forum pages? I was able to find dark versions of Gmail, Voice, Gtalk, and the Market by searching, but I think it would make more sense from a theming sense for these to be included by default.
2. What's the best way to remove the Samsung Apps? I flashed the zip and messed around with it a bit, but realized I don't need it. You can't uninstall it like normal apps so I was thinking about removing it with TiBu, but I don't want to mess something up. Suggestions?
3. I searched around the forums, but I haven't been able to find a simple answer to this: does this rom support call recording? Is this a kernel issue or simply a rom feature that Firefly hasn't implemented? If this is something simple to do without losing theming, I have no problem with that, if not consider this a feature request.
4. Not sure if this is a Firefly issue or an ESPN issue, but since flashing 2.2 my ScoreCenter app keeps reverting to the user Tron98001. I don't know who this is or how it got on my phone, but it keeps changing all my settings. Everytime I delete the app and wipe the data, it defaults to that same user when I install it again. If I change the user and settings, within about a day it reverts back. Again, I'm thinking this is an ESPN issue, but I was just wondering if anybody was having the same issue since I didn't have a problem until upgrading to 2.2.
You can always try different modems, to see which one works best for you.

1. There were too many bugs involved with the dark apps. I decided that it is best to include stock and let users decide based on their preference.
2. I will have to create a CWM zip that takes care of this. It is not as simple as uninstalling.
3. This ROM does not have call recording. It is considered illegal in many states, to record calls without consent of the other part. I just want to stay away from the mess. Users can install that option on their own.
4. That definitely looks like an app issue.
I believe my ROM is more toward the neutral side and I dont wont to force themed apps (that are buggy) or features that can get them in trouble.
I am just being honest.
Let me know if there are more questions.
As FF is rogers based, can it support usb audio out through the car dock? I downloaded the rogers car dock app and no joy. Changed the kernel to FB2, which should have the fix, and still no joy.
Thanks for the amazing rom though!

I did run into this problem when I flashed Fire Fly 2.2. The only way around it was to uninstall Launcher Pro and then install it again. I am not sure what caused the problem but this did solve it for me. The one downside of this is that all the screen setups that I had got removed. But that is minor to me since I move things around all the time any way.

As FF is rogers based, can it support usb audio out through the car dock? I downloaded the rogers car dock app and no joy. Changed the kernel to FB2, which should have the fix, and still no joy.
Thanks for the amazing rom though!

That fix is still in the works in Xcal's kernel. We will have to wait till it is implemented all around.
Thanks for your quick response. I'll wait for the CWM zip to remove the Samsung Apps. I understand the legallity of call recording and it is something I just wanted to try out, anyways I have a follow up question then: if I apply the phone.apk and libs I found (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938860) would I lose the theming of the dialer that comes with Firefly by default? Do you know of any reason why this wouldn't work?

1. There were too many bugs involved with the dark apps. I decided that it is best to include stock and let users decide based on their preference.
2. I will have to create a CWM zip that takes care of this. It is not as simple as uninstalling.
3. This ROM does not have call recording. It is considered illegal in many states, to record calls without consent of the other part. I just want to stay away from the mess. Users can install that option on their own.
4. That definitely looks like an app issue.
I believe my ROM is more toward the neutral side and I dont wont to force themed apps (that are buggy) or features that can get them in trouble.
I am just being honest.
Let me know if there are more questions.

Hey all so I currently have an unlocked bootloader, rooted Nexus One still running the Stock Froyo 2.2.2. and I decided to finally upgrade to the OTA Gingerbread update but have a problem.
The OTA update restarts my phone with a triangle with an "!" inside it and an Android next to it, so I decided to try a manual update as described here.
Everything went well until the installation itself, during the install I kept getting some sort of error stating Twitter.apk in the system directory could not be authenticated.
So here's the problem, with Titanium Backup I made the stupid mistake of uninstalling it and not backing it up when I first rooted a while ago. I thought I could just reinstall it from the market but I get the same error. The only solution I can think of is if someone running a Nexus One Stock Froyo could possibly send me the Titanium Backup files of Twitter, hopefully this would make it work, otherwise I don't think I could ever update.
Since your bootloader is unlocked, you can use fastboot to install a custom recovery and then flash whatever you want (including a stock image)...

Thanks for the response, but I'm having trouble figuring some of this stuff, after spending some time with the search option here in XDA:
1. I don't the difference between custom recovery and flashing an image.
2. I can't find a simple stock Gingerbread image (thought its called ROM?) Details in posts tend to be vague for people that are learning this stuff, like me.
3. Many people have written to use Amron_ra 2.2.1 but I don't know the specifics of each ROM are (ex. if its Froyo based, Gingerbread based, etc.)
4. Would using ROM Manager be a good method to use any ROM or is it limited?
I'm essentially looking for an effective method to upgrading to a clean Gingerbread, since doing it the normal way won't work on my phone (as stated in my first post).
1 - Recovery, bootloader, and 'ROM' are two different partitions on you phone. Once you break security on one, you can use it to break the security on the other. In your case, the security on your bootloader is broken (unlocked), so you can use it to install new software on the other partitions.
2 - See bullet 4 on the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005591
3 - For recovery you have 2 choices, Amon Ra or Clockwork, If you go with Clockwork, I recommend you stay away from 3.x versions. Unless the ROM you want to install says otherwise, either of these recoveries will work.
4 - ROM Manger will work. It's an easy way to achieve results, but unless you know what you are doing, it's also an easy way to screw things up.
I suggest you take it a step at at a time, and really understand what you are doing. Reading the wiki is always a good start, then ask specific questions...

Thanks Danger, I made the jump to Cyanogen 7, RC-4 via ROM Manager and couldn't be happier! Only problem is the known audio bug for Nexus One (person on other end of a call hears a lot of static sometimes, and have to recall them). The forced apps2sd is by far my most favourite feature, especially since the N1 internal space is pretty horrible, I've moved most of my apps2sd and haven't had any problems thus far.
Thanks for recommending CM7, I just wish their website listed the full features for newbies like me.
Thanks danger-rat http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...lick-doesnt-work-gingerbread-2.html#post93952

Was pulling my hair out with a lame guide in the general section
Congrats!!
