Tattoo ROMs/Hacking/Info Resource List (One thread to help us all!)

Before I start: If someone could sticky this, I'd appreciate it. Cheers!
I thought I'd help out and do my own thread to make a list of resources, so it's a easy ride down the road, and we're not having to hit speedbumps and look for threads ourselves. They will be under categories (Custom ROMs, Hacking, Hardware/Software Info, Misc).
Please keep this thread on-topic (discussion about this list, updating the list, etc), if you have issues carrying out anything listed here, either make a new thread with your issue or reread the instructions.
NOTE: I am not responsible for any bricked Tattoos due to user's own failure to follow instructions/people don't understand what to do and go on their own merry way and blow up their tattoo/your tattoo catches fire and explodes into a portable campfire. So, please don't sue me.
Alright, let's get down to business.

Great threat
Hi Coburn64.
Congratulations on the threat.
We really must shake the Tattoo scenne, cause it's a little bit slow.
Count on me to help you.
Thanks

Heh, thanks. I'm just helping out, as we want the Tattoo to shine. It's a excellent unit, and I can't see why it should be swept under the carpet and forgotten.

Well I just want to say that is a great phone. Screensize is maybe small, but I have Android 1.67 version with SenseUi and I must say that this is a very well designed phone with excellent screen resistive, and I gives you the support to develop as multiple applications for this phone.

Thanks for your review!

This is a development community. Try not to fly off the rails when someone asks about PSFreedom. In it's base form it's not a piracy application. No more so than rooting an Android device is. Sure it can be used for nefarious purposes, but why assume everyone on a developers forum who's interested in PSFreedom is a pirate?

It is actually a good question regarding a new PSFreedom, an updated one for the new Kernel?
Maybe even as for the PsfMod, directly from the Recovery?

Read this its how to build psfmod

Well if i understood your question correct, you need rooted phone.
Easyest way to manage roms and update zips is clockword mod. Search Clockwork rom manger in market and install. Copy your update zip to sdcard, lreboot to recovery via rom manager, make nandroid backup then install zip and test. You can revert all changes.
Is your psfmod for 2.2?

Guys!! Two weeks I've been trying to create my own psfMod for HTC Legend, with the Klutsh's Howto ... And I am still nowhere!! TWO WEEKS!! lol!
Did any of you create a working img file succesfully?
I received some help from Klutsh and some other guys on his blog, unfortunately I am such a noob that I can't manage to do it right yet...
Any chance to get some help from here?
... You all are my last hope... My life depends on it.. (Hmm... Ok, I might be exagerating)

I plan on working on this. I've been holding off for Cyanogen to release stable for the Legend, so I have an easy starting off point for a guide - and I'll be doing less flashing/messing with nightlies.
I've still go an old TouchPro I'm using just for psf at the moment.
So the sooner we see CM6 stable, the sooner I'll get cracking on this.

hope someone will do that .

It saddens me that the world is turning into pikey freetards that think stealing is OK. Things will catch up with them, it always does.

and leave it at that, I suggest you do the same.

What's going on with this? Where's the hold up? What has already been done?

BlaY0, actually, it was done, yes...
However ,there were not updates of it.
No possibility to use last payloads and other possibilities.
As per Klutsh's psfMod, it is possible to get the PSFreedom directly from the recovery, and then you can use the bin you want (put in your SD Card) : you just have to reboot then and can use your phone as usual.
So far, we lost Wifi and SD card access, we had to restore boot etc... Quite "restrictive" (compared to what is developed for Desire, Hero, and many other devices...)

No, I mean what has been done in terms of compiling module for new kernel?

Ho sorry! lol!
Then I am not sure I understand your question: What have I done so far that is not working, or in general? (English not native language, plus noob regarding kernels, compile, linux, development, ... Everything lol! Well you understand, right?)

Actually I'm referring my question to the subject (psfreedom+new kernel). I know that it is working with old kernel so it is working from recovery mode too. But I need to know what has been done concerning new kernel. Where's the problem? I'm asking coz I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

Ok! Then I unfortunately cannot answer you.
What I can do, is quoting Klutsh from his blog (before he put the Howto off his blog)
@bravounet: You may be better waiting for HTC to release the 2.6.32 kernel source, or look for a AOSP kernel (Cyanogen type)
@bravounet: You can use the .32 kernel in recovery, leaving your ROM & kernel alone.
With old kernel (2.6.29) we had to flash a zip from the recovery in order to make it work, there was no menu "PSFreedom" in the recovery itself, contrarily to other devices as I mentioned previously.
So far, I don't think someone has done anything new with the old kernel, neither with the new kernel 2.6.32 for our Legends... I might be wrong, but I haven't found anything on the internet...

Hi all
after considerable reading on here i have finaly taken the plunge and s-off my phone. I have also rooted and am now looking for a custom rom to put on.
I like the look of Android Revolution HD 1.0.2 but all the links to try and download this dont seem to be working...
Please can someone post a working link for me
Many Thanks
Curleous

Clearly, you haven't looked through the whole Android Revolution HD post COMPLETELY!
Please, LOOKED AT THE WHOLE POST COMPLETELY.
It is not our responsibility to tell you about what you are doing wrong as it has mentioned in the original post, especially about THIS QUESTION.

Download link seems to be working for me, http://tiny.cc/s3w19

What is your responsibilty then as it is obviously not to be helpful. I am new to all this and have to start somewhere . Sometimes you can miss the obvious when ploughing through so much information.

Here here.... yauhoman: don't bother posting if all your gonna be is unhelpful and rude! Why do you care anyway This is a forum where people with more knowledge and experience on the subject HELP others out. I would be mightly pissed if you had sent this to me and yes I have also failed to miss the obvious in the past and either people do not reply, tell me to search or point me in the right direction.
Live...learn...and get on with it

[KDZ/Link] V20c Rogers

I have seen alot of people asking where to download the Rogers V20c KDZ. I have uploaded it for anyone needing it since I no longer can find the original link that I got it from. Happy Flashing! Say thanks if it suits you.
V20C_00.kdz - 418.1 MB

rogers V20 link
Thank you sir, I actually used this link and compiled the torrent with all the flashing tools. this is perfect if you have all of the flash tools ready to go.
thanks,
Dman
Update: I am also going to make another torrent tonight with just the V20C Kdz and Megatron Rooting exploit.
So it will be easily downloadable, everyone can come up with all of the flashing software elsewhere since those links are not dead.
thanks,
Dman

Awesome! I love the community helping each other out. Great job on the torrent. It will be extremely helpful to all those ready to get some GB on.

i have been getting errors flashing with a different file. im dling yours right now, hope it works!

kdz log shows CDMA errors???
In the log in kdz it's reading CDMA..... followed obviously by file not located in model....
Am I missing something or what. Former employee of Rogers and am certain they were TDMA before GSM etc. I confuzzled again!
FYI: It's entirely possible that there's something in the hardware of the phone that is the problem. It's a P925G that suffered a trashed screen and digitizer thanks to my buddies girlfriend's rage. (was thrown at him and smashed into the kitchen wall & countertop) I've replaced both the lcd and lens but unsure if additional components are broken.

Because I haven't seen it. This is a new kernel source, which require better publishing so our devs can work through it. I haven't copied it from your post. I got it on our facebook page for mi-410. Thank you.

I am not saying that you copied from my post... even I took it from facebook page and as this kernel is only for RC 3 I posted in that thread... if check thread carefully you will find on last between page only....no need to post separately .... anyway my point is in regards to forum space which is wasting because of repeated post and thread....and its two month old ... no point in posting separate after such a long time ...

Besides the pushing of that old topic, I've tried a number of the newer/recent firmwares and they all have one or the other bug. Something is not working, crashes, or screws up. Nasty stuff sometimes. I am back to the 2.3 series, and perhaps I may refresh my now very old MacLite with a Sharp version. Depends a bit on my time, but I think it's still the better firmware for our phone. That is, one where everything works!

Yeah it's true that we are still struggling to get a good, nicely working ICS+ ROM. But without trying new ones, it's impossible to fully utilize our device capabilities.
Hope for the best bro.
And yeah Sharp is a great ROM.
