Hey guys, I have been reading for a couple of hours on this forum and found some great info, but I'm still having some questions
1. dutty's rom, I've seen it on youtube, but is it actually faster than the normal rom? I mean, if you use tomtom by example, do you get better framerate on it?
2. if you put dutty's on, do you still get support from htc? like don't you void the warranty?
3. I've seen some original rom files, but if you put that on, doesn't it change the windows mobile license?
4. if you have dutty's, can you still copy contact info from msn into the contacts?
I have quite some experience with linux and windows programming, but to this mobile stuff, I'm totally a newbie
thanks

Your best bet is to go to kaiser rom development sections and read the stickies there.
1. yes, its faster
2. u loose warranty, but there is a tutorial how to revert it to the original rom in case of warranty
3. ?
4. never used that, buut I think yes
at 3 I mean: When you get an original rom from the forums, does it give you a different windows license? or is that just something inside the phone itself?
and, if dutty's is faster, does that also mean a longer battery life? I read something about better video drivers
thanks for the answers
I probably go for the dutty's now I think

battery life, reception, camera and some other things are influenced not by the rom, but by the radio rom.
Sorry but I dont understand what u mean by license. I am not from english-speaking country.
I don't think licensing is that big a deal with a phone. Infact I'm not sure if you can purchase a retail copy of windows mobile. These aren't home made computers.

no you can't buy a retail package
but you can register the os tough
edit:
I just found out there are more roms available (silly me)
can someone recommend me one?
I want better speed, but I like the normal rom shipped with the kaiser
Where would i go to get that i downloaded the HTC WM 6.0 already from the site but will that give me the business card reader and stuff?
Also any advantages/disadvantages?
AND is it possible if i got a broken tytn 2 with the hsdpa video camera on the front i could install that and it work?

There is a discussion going on about this in the Kaiser Accessories Forum. Check that out.
Still a Redundant thread though.

As KD8DNS said - your post sounded redundant because you began with the 'what is the best rom' type of thread - and we get so many of those
As for the HTC to AT&T camera question - I haven't seen any posts that suggest you can or can't do it. I would think that there is a connector or something on the AT&T board which hasn't been soldered in place so would require some soldering etc. If you're feeling adventurous you'd probably be better off trying to move the working boards, screen etc from the tilt to the HTC phone and flash a compatible rom - it's the sort of experimentation I'd try just before upgrading so if I screwed up I could justify the upgrade
If you play around with this, please post results
hey there. I am about to buy an htc dream which is already unlocked. I want to root my phone so I was wondering if downgrading then rooting it would affect my unlocked status in any way?
Don't worry, your phone will still remain unlocked.
alright sweet, i was just a little worried because on another site (android forums) a user was saying that it may lose its unlocked status.

You might wanna wait though for upcoming phone in 2010 like Nexus that was rumored to be 199 unlocked but who knows might be less than 400 bux
My point is wait for something better since dream has very limited HW.
well i live in canada and we usually dont get access to nice phone right away, right now i am running an lg neon which is less than desirable. This would be my first smart phone so i will probably get it and keep it till 2011 or so. I appreciate your opinion though for sure.
Could I also get an answer for a thread link to the easiest method of rooting? I have heard about the instantroot.apk, would this work with an htc dream?

If you mean the GSM version then use this guide, it has a nice vid that should help out.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/
Follow each step and dont skip any.The GSM Dream cant be used on rogers or telus i think, not sure if they use CDMA(no sim)
There is no CDMA Dream Never heard of telus but Rogers is GSM fo sho.
i want to use it with fido (fido's parent company is rogers (they use sim)) would this still work? also does this work with all firmwares?
Will what work? If your phone accepts the SIM for the carrier you want to use now then it always will.. If not then you'll need an unlock code. Try the one click root method using flashrec.apk and report back if that doesn't work....
alright cool, im buying the phone on friday so ill report back later. (using the method in the video to root my htc dream)
Could someone please explain what the difference between recovery and rom is.

A rom is like Win7 or linux and recovery mode is like DOS/CMD or maybe safe mode on a PC.The rom is flashed and the recovery mode is needed to flash custom roms from here and to flash themes.
ok sweet, you guys are actually a HUGE help in helping me understand this. So after i follow that video my phone will be "rooted" After that I go to install the latest rom from CG. Do i use the files in the video (the recovery file) or something better out now? also should i use the linda file manager he talks about or astro?
also what is DOUNT and cupcake.
oh right also do i need to install "CyangenMod Recovery IMG" what is it?

Its the things google are giving out to the little android guy so he can get big and strong
Cupcake(1.5) Donut(1.6)
Dont worry just follow the directions then it will make sense along the way.

google names the updates after pastries. 1.5 is cupcake (1st version to have a soft keyboard) next is 1.6 donut (supports different screen sizes, new market, a bit snappier) and the latest is 2.0 eclair (what the droid has. not out for any other phones yet. refined browser, car home, and other cool features like navidation, you can get navigation on donut too though trough the market.)

about the navi, i heard that it only works in canada after a workaround but I would assume that it needs 3g for it to work which i do not have in my plan.

Nav was fixed and works in all countries, but it eats alot of data.Edge works with google maps.

Since I do not have data I probably should not download this because the only internet i will be using is wifi. Does this phone have an option to turn off all data, to prevent accidental usage. (like the iphone)
Since I do not have data in my plan is their any reason for me to get this? i would think that google maps will suffice.
could somone also please exlplain SPL, from what i have read it is somesort of compatibility with roms, how can i check mine and does the latest CGM require a high SPL
hey all. so i recently sold my old sprint hero that was rooted to cm6 and the new owner says that sprint hasn't been able to activate it to their account? is this normal? when i sold it, i did a reset to clear my data but i left it rooted (at their request). can someone tell me the easiest way to tell them how to unroot the phone? from speaking to them, i get the impression that they don't know much about this type of thing.

You guys should meet back up and you should flash a sense rom for them.
Only way for them to activate.
that's what i was afraid of. i sold the phone on ebay so it isn't someone local that i can meet with. so would you say that the easiest route would be for me to create a micro sd for them to boot from (someone else rooted my phone for me, but i rooted my nook color this way)? do you know offhand where i could find instructions to do this? i searched the android development forum but didn't see anything that dealt with going back to stock.

You're going to have to walk them through on how to get to recovery to flash, but just download liquidsense 2.1

I found this guide and found it very helpful it has a ton of stuff.. for your issue see Factory Reset not too far down.
Hero Root Guide
Just use the ruu in zip format is does it all for you in one file. Just send him the zip, tell him to put it on his sd, power the phone off, plug in the charger, hold down volume and power and 15 min later wham pure stock. No root no recovery. Just like out of the box
Yea it's me again. The one with the -Modified-Hero

Don't Quote me but, I'm Thinking the new owner should be able to Activate it by phone! At least I was able to with Mine! If not try just installing a 2.1 sense Rom and Delete the Superuser App, From my Experiences Chances are they Won't even Check for Root!!
Good Luck!

Wither way they need to reprogram the phone for his phone number, and the only way to do that is use the hash codes which only work on sense roms. Otherwise, if you know your way around qpst, you can do it from stock.

Hello,
The site that you show is for the Developer Tools!
In order to create new applications and games, developers must have this "tool"...this is not a beta Mango ROM and that will not appear for sure!
You must wait until Fall to have Mango on your phone.
thanks,
Santos

Hi love. Thanks for that information. I never new that, Know i understand its only to create apps and so on.
But i read around that you can know download MANGO beta for free onto the phone and only get some new features on the phone.. wasnt that correct ?
i know mango will arrive complete in september but i thought there was a mango beta where you can enjoy beta version for know until the full complete mango in september.

Only for developers
We normal users of WP7 only in Fall will have access to Mango
I can smell a beta leaked mango coming soon near a htc hd7 near you
I read a few things about mango on the wp7 app news.
They say theres going to be 500+ features for mango.
Really 500 features ? what are all the 500 of them will be?
They have allready revealed what to expect and we only have just discovered about 10 or so of them so this leads to about 480 or so features unrevealed.
So what could it all be ? Maybe nothing that much excitement i bet. But wish i new.
Hard to believe really 500+ something features for mango for all Wp7 PHONES.
i know IE9 and a few allready revealed but perhaps i bet the rest wouldnt be that too important otherwise it would be clasified as top priority to announce, Because if there was a big most important change in mango.. they would of said what it is know rather then unknowing whats in the bag if you know what i mean. bunch of mangos.
