Hi,
this is my first post, but I already read a lot.
I am going to extend by German O2-contract in 4 weeks. Now I know that some things on the Diamond have to be changed. But you always talk about new ROMs (original ones) which might solve some of the "problems".
So my question is: when do you expect such ROMs? How often does HTC or O2 change/improve those ROMs? Does it make a difference to wait 2-4 weeks or are we talking about 4-5 months?
Thank you
Does nobody know how often ne ROMs are released? How long does it take?
I am only asking for average numbers of course (old devices, experiences...)
you can easiliy flash your device with ANY rom (HTC itself releases official ROMs more regularly than O2) and in case of a warranty-issue reflash it with the original o2 stock ROM. so...don't worry and get rid of the ugly blue theme ASAP
Thank you. Guess you are right. I knew that I can do that by myself. It's just: I have a Wizzard (?-XDA Mini S) now. I bought it when it was brand new, so it is about to be 2,5 years old now. This was my first WM-Device and I like it, but I never changed any reg or flashed the ROM...Reading some of the posts it appears to me, that my almost 3 year old device is still better in speed and batterylife than the diamond (still want it). So I am not sure if it is the way those people use it and the way I use it - that means, stock could be fine for me!
But it seems like I have to get deeper into that and modify things...looks like a new hobby..
Well about 2 weeks ago I picked up a Palm Pre and moved over to it for my day to day use. Well I do miss a few things the Hero can do I am holding off on moving back. I have a busy summer and well if anything happens I would rather it happen to the Pre.
But I do have a few questions seeing that 2.1 is out and 2.2 is on the N1.
Now that we have a real 2.1 out for the Hero have is there anything we really were missing? (For those of us that rooted and had a 2.1 ROM)
Is there any real word on a 2.2 update? I know that 2.1 just dropped but from what I have read this could make our Heros fast!
How many of you have used a Pre for your day to day phone before?
What were your thoughts on it?
Well that I wanted to ask. I am sure a few searches would answer some if not all the questions but I would rather get full feed back.
I have had a palm pre as a daily user for about a total of 2 months., All it did you me was sit in my pocket and ring. every once in a while it saw the internet but it didnt seem as easy to surf vs the Hero.
As for Froyo i dont see that coming for quite a while, if at all since the evo is going to be the center of attraction for HTC and Sprint
the N1 has 2.2 already because HTC didnt have to "CUSTOMIZE IT" first with Sense UI

The 2.1 Rom works just fine, more solid, reliable and a all around stable rom.
The 2.2 will change the way you use your phone all together so expect major changes from a 2.1 and a 2.2 rom. I have everything i need from a 2.1 rom and the last time i used a palm pre I sat in my drawer waiting to be donated to someone who actually uses the crap. Listen im not bashing the beloved Palm Pre but compared to android you really cant compare Pre to Android simply because android is in a whole new class than a typical smart phone OS. The Palm Pre is only limited to what Palm puts on the OS. The android is only limited to the hardware its on. A Major difference my friend. Think about how powerful a Operating system is when its only limitation is hardware.. makes you think a little bit.
Hope you come back to the Android world buddy.
Yeah after spending a week with the Pre I miss a lot I can do with the Hero!
I will be back in no time at all. But I will give it to the Pre for holding its ground. If I were able to have just a normal phone I think the Pre should be the slandered.
Just got to play around with a friend N1 and yeah 2.2 is super fast!!
I might come back to my Hero just in time for the EVO.
Mod Edit: Moved to Off Topic
Yay another crazy thread from Shadow_Android!
So how the title says what brought you to xda?
I'll start!
So one day while i was using my xperia mini pro it got really slow and hot i got mad and the phone suddenly rebooted
From that day and on it would happen like 3 times a day, it got really frustrated
At that time i didn't know about root and custom roms
After a few weeks i went to a party a my grandma's house, my cousin that know a lot about hacking asked me if i had my phone rooted and i was like "what the hell is that?" so we went upstairs to his room where he had his laptop and everything else
After a few minutes he got my phone rooted and he told me all the cool things i could do with it
the same day at my house i started looking for apps that needed root i came across some really cool apps with cool features like being able to change the font of the phone and the bootanimation and to be able to eliminate all the bloatware
I was really happy with my rooted xperia mini pro but the reboot problem was still there
my cousin had also told me about roms and all that crap but at that time i didnt pay much attention so in my search for making my phone faster i came across this site
I was really amazed of all the new features the custom roms had so i decided to try them out!
From there and on it was all about flashing roms and staying updated in the rom i used which was cyanocomb (really good rom)
After flashing my first rom i made an account so i could post my opinions and suggestions about the roms
After 7 months of using my xperia mini pro i sold it and bought a brand new g2 unlocked
That was my story know its your turn!
I started off on ppcgeeks forums back in the winmo days, cooking roms etc. I then made my way to xdandroid, then finally purchased a sony x10, joined xda in hopes of rooting it, sold the x10 and bought a stock DZ after reading I could sim unlock it myself! Haven't looked back since. Love xda, and love the development that goes on.

Bought my G2 because at the time it was the best phone and had a keyboard. Knew about root and all that with my computer tech background but needed a reliable forum to get answers to harder questions. read for a few weeks actually before I joined and posted and tried helping ever since
For me it started with my first smartphone, the Sony Ericsson X2 (looks very nice, but the software... oh god) anyways, yeah just searched random stuff on Google on how to improve it, because this phone was terribly slow and had so many problems and one of the links just brought me XDA,
For me it was being on a G1 and wondering how to tweak it. A google search led me to a youtube video about Super D rom and within that video was a link to XDA. Ah the memories.

I came here for the first time trying to put Android on my old T-Mobile Wing. Now that I have an Android phone, I come here all the time.
I originally bought a G1 and was fine with it for a while. At the time I wasn't very tech savvy, although I had built a computer, and had no idea you can mod it. I started reading Android blogs and started seeing these posts about rooting the G1 and doing all sorrts of mods on it. I soon found out my soon-to-be-brother-in-law, who was way more savvy, had a G1and had rooted his phone. So I asked him to root mine and he installed CM3.x, which was Cupcake based and was done by cyanogen himself as this was before the CM explosion, and showed me the XDA thread. From then I was hooked.
Edit: @G1ForFun, I remember using SuperD! That was a badass ROM with the memory hack!

For me it was simply to see what i could do with my G1, tweaks and all that good stuff, I simply love to hack my phones, I dont post much i mostly read because my questions are always answered before i even ask .. this place is awesome man.. now I have G2 and im learning "ADB" and its a breeze.. these Devs are amazing and the community is so helpful.. My home away from home
Like some of the others I got a G1 and then found out that XDA was the place where everyone was tweaking it. Started with android 1.0 and enjoyed the build up to cupcake etc. First onscreen keyboard. Getting the video camera to work. Getting first multi-touch. Then getting Sense on the G1. I was addicted. Now with the Vision the scene is so fragmented with so many different android models. But I still try to keep up with what is happening. Can't wait for the attempt to get ICS on our handsets.

I had a Tmobile Dash (HTC Excalibur) and WinMo5.0 was killing me. Google brought me here.

I came here when I first had my now retired HTC Hero (GSM version) and was looking to get some extra performance out of it. As I am still doing now with my DZ, that meant installing some Sense-free ROM.
I first came to xda after trying to find some programs for my HTC diamond, and from when i came to the site i found all the customroms i could get. I had my HTC diamond for 2 years (still running android). But last year i found out that i needed a Android phone, with a physical keyboard. So i got the Desire Z, and its the best phone i've ever had.
First time login to xda bcoz i want to root my DZ. Got all the information & successfully root my DZ.

I first came to xda when Cupcake was leaked (maybe ported from mytouch?) for the G1.
I actually rooted my phone solely for the virtual keyboard and the multitouch hack way back when you had to telnet into your phone to root. "wtf is telnet?!" I ended up figuring it out, and the Android community is now one of the best communities that I've ever been a part of.
The G1 days were awesome btw, when we had everyone working on a single device.. JesusFreke, Cyanogen, TheDude, haykuro, etc.
Wanting to know more about android and what I could do with it

To learn more about android

After having my G1 for a couple of months, I discovered xda by the search terms: hacking Android. I read up on rooting, appplying themes and installing custom ROMs for my G1. I learned a lot here at xda. Rooting an android phone makes everything so much better. I have always been a fan of getting more bang out of technology.

First Android phone was the HTC Hero and I came here to get some optimized ROMs for it so it would run smoother. I've been here ever since, currently have a DZ, looking to upgrade soon again.
well, i remember that i googled a thing that day, i forget what the thing is, and MR. Google brought me here, then i found there are so many modules here and people seems to know a lot, LOL So come to Xda every day has become a part of my life
I was trying to root my DZ with some finnish instructions.
They weren't complete, so i needed to search for help
Hey there
I'm about to revive my old touch diamond 2 by changing the housing and searching for a good rom or android from sd...some time ago, about a year, I was trying to use android as my regular daily system on this phone and it was really good ....so I thought, that by all the time what is now over since the last time I used my topaz, the development is now really advanced and it got on NAND ..
So my question is, what is new since then? A year of development is really many time to do some good software .
What has changed, what is still the same?
I'm posting it here, because I've seen that on the topaz forum there is almost no activity and because topaz and rhodium have almost exactly the same hardware ( not to mention the exterior and the mini Jack 3.5) I've posted it here.
So it would be really really nice if someone could give me a little summary of what happened in development on this phones on android I would be really happy and also I think that this would be really helpful for other people like me who want to refresh their news and development stage knowledge of this phones..
Thanks in advice

No NAND, last build I put out for SD on RHOD is the same for TOPA - GBX0C.
There weren't many devs with the TOPA - and none have been active on the TOPA for quite some time now. Sorry, this device is quite old.
Hmpf....I thought that this device is the same and hasn't it the same age as rhodium? Thought so every time..I mean this basically the same phone just without keyboard and mini jack ...and a bigger screen lol
But thanks, really nice that you have given me some infos

Old? What none sense.
This device is capable of much more then this.
There are really old devices like say the wallaby that still get updates.
Hello to all who know much more about Android ROMs than I.
I bought myself a second hand HTC One (Telstra, Australia) and believed that the best thing to do was to get a clean version of Android onto it ASAP. In that endeavor, I downloaded the CyanogenMod 1 click installer and successfully installed CyanogenMod on the device.
Unfortunately it's now a slow, buggy, battery draining mess. After dealing with it for a while and realising I was getting more and more issues more frequently (WiFi access is buggy at best and often blocks all data, camera is incredibly slow, random reboots, battery life is despicable, among other issues), I spent several days trawling XDA trying to return my device to some version of Android released by HTC themselves, without success. This was at least 2 months ago, and I ended up giving up and dealing with it.
I can't deal with it anymore, and need help. As stated I've trawled the forums and tried numerous means of returning the device to some version of stock but nothing worked as described in the threads. I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to either purchase the device for cheap, or return it to stock for a price? I looked at the Marketplace option but it directs me to swappa.com which doesn't have an Australian section.
I have certainly learned my lesson that this kind of modding is not for me, and I won't be going there in future. Hoping someone can help.
Thanks in advance, Jamieson.

Well if you have read many threads on here you would have noticed the first question ask is can you post the results from fastboot getvar all.
without that their is no way anyone here can help you. When you post the information please remove the Serial no and IMEI from the results .. we don't need those.
