Hi, New here, Just studying everything and my MDA works. =D

Hey all, Just updated my sig to show my current setup. Got myself a used MDA for free. Lil fix me up. Couple scratches, no stylus and so but was a 1.08 version =D So after reading up the guides here. I got to unlocking the cid and mda itself fine. Did the upgrade after I did the secure stuff to try out that XDA Mobile 6 R3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324632
Im wondering which one is better tho... Kinda confused when it comes to that.. just know WM6 is the way to go and least I have the above installed and working. =D
So just learning all I can here. I saw something about Kitchen and I am guessing its like a custom build or so with things I want?
Anyways thought I would say hi and if someone knows a better WM6 I should go after. Ill look at it. Just so much to take in at once atm. Was used to playing with my Zodiac Palm. Heh.
All the chef's here are great, so the rom you want is truly dependant upon what you like. I run NTS's Jaguar 3.1...for me it is fast enough, really stable and comes with only a a small amount of stuff, so that I can customize it the way I like. Some roms have all the bells and whistles, some have pretty much OS only. As for a kitchen...before you attempt to cook your own rom, I would strongly urge you to READ READ READ all the tut's and stickies and wiki, learn as much as you can about your device first before doing any major customizing. Think of it like dating...you want to find out as much as you can about the other person, really get to know the other person and that person's quirks, before committing to a long-term relationship...or you can get sloppy drunk, jump in the sack and wake up the next morning going...what the hell did I just do!!! Your choice.
**edit**
BTW, Welcome to xda!!
Well here is my experiance. I mod and work with Symbian 60 phones as my primary. Write the guides on how to stream live TV or MP3 to the cell phone via winamp or real audio.
I have modded and flash/flexed Motorola phones, have experiance in unlocking Nokia and Motorola GSM phones. Not to mention tweaking.
So I am a sage when it comes to STUDY 1st. Its annoying.. but yea I do it.
(Oh yea, I also am with www.pspupdates.com so I mod PSPs too hehe)
So I studied enough here to least get my MDA sim/cid unlocked for modding. Thats safe. So far I went with that XDA Mobile 6 R3, I am not sure but it seemed stable enough to start with. I have not updated the IPL yet, but I prob will in a few, Rapid share sucks with its delay, no?
Well as for kitchen.. I figure its ALOT of data to take in at once. Abit too much... I understand its a make your own with what you want.. My issue isnt that.. my problem is.. WHAT do it I want??
I mean I have alot of experiance with my Zodiac II palm.. which is another for the homebrew community and tricks for working it... mean getting it to use my cell phone to connect was fun. (Still gotta with the PPC)
So my issue is trying to get to know the PPC OS. I played with it on my old bosses Ipaq 3135? (The T-Mobile PPC that failed)
But I did some interesting things with that too.
I know Ill 100% want VNC, Divx (Is there the web plugin for it yet to use stage6.com or so? What about Youtube REAL version?)
Not to mention easy to do emulators. =p
I just dont know fully what I want or what I SHOULD be after with this thing. I know I need to do some reg hacks to tweak.. but then im stummped.. if I am using custom mod versions... are these tweaks built in?? Would I mess something up? (You get my worries)
Another thing I noticed after I installed this version is VoIP... my wonder is.. I never used that before. I DO know I can flash my Linksys WRT54G with the DD-WRT voip firmware instead of the standard ddwrt build I am using now. Question is... is it worth it? If so, whats the deal? Use Skype?
As you can see alone from the questions above... Its just a scratch of questions and areas I am looking at and trying to get answers on... so yea.. kinda hard to know when to "stop" and say "IM HAPPY" with what I installed lol. Just need to know what I should go after... =/

Just a few....On a side note, how do you like your G1? Done anything to it yet?
Thanks for the sites, the G1 is awesome so far, I didn't do anything custom to it yet cuz I'm still trying to figure evrything out about it and I prolly won't do anything yet until I get tired of the original things it comes with but the phone is great, I would recommend it.

Request Naked ROM

Good morning/afternoon/evening all!
I'm brand new to the HD2 after coming from the Hermes. When using my Hermes I LOVED the naked rom there. It was completely clean and blank. You used whatever CABs you wanted to customize the OS to your own liking using UTC. Anyone know of a TMOUS compatible HD2 OS that does the same? If not, any of the outstanding cookers willing to take on something like this?
See this [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360289] for an example of what I used to use with the Hermes.
If no one is willing to do this and it is possible, is there a good easy to use kitchen that perhaps I can take a stab at doing? Might take 100 times longer since I've never done it, but you never know
Thanks!
Greg

Greg, Welcome to HD2, You will basically want to look around and flash the ones that fit you best.. Also post in the rom threads and ask around, i'm sure a chef will do this for you..
On a sidenote.. I started in hermes myself years ago and Mattk_r was my idle man and was one of the reasons i started chef'ing. Anyway i'm gonna have to close this thread man, need to keep the forums a bit "naked" clean
Goodluck on you're naked rom search.
Peace,
Josh

AT&T Tilt 2 Clock/Weather interface.

I just recently bought the Tilt 2. I likes, but would also likes to tweak a little. I have seen other TF2 phones that have the weather interface just under the clock itself, w/ cool animations. Anyway to get that same thing for my AT&T phone? Anyone with a program or fix I can use?

Have you read through the forums or used the "search" feature to look for what you want? This isnt just as easy as installing a fix or new clock. You need to update your manilla/touch flo 3d interface to Sense 2.1 or 2.5. This CAN be done via cab I believe however I cant speak about performance with that method as I have never done it... Most people just flash an entire new rom to their phone that has sense 2.1 or 2.5 preinstalled in it.
Sounds to me like you're running an old stock rom from your carrier. Most carriers have updated their roms as it is so you can probably just download a new one from your carriers website or something and update it and then you wont have to hardspl your phone and temporarily void the warranty. Again, do some reading you'll find what you need. If someone wants to just thrown this person the links feel free to chime in. It's not hard to search though. If you cant figure out how to use that search feature box in the top right of practically every page on this forum your best bet is just to go into google and type what you want followed by XDA after it and you'll find the threads that way.
Good luck!
tilt 2 fix FLASH TO A CUSTOM ROM!
lol man i had the same, i bought the tilt 2, i thought id be an iphone killer, is ok, but i hated that i couldnt customize to my own way of liking. anyways
the best and only fix i could tell you is FLASH TO A CUSTOM ROM, i love my phone so much more, its pretty safe if you follow the tutorials step by step.
it makes your phone so much better, then youll get the features YOU want.
i tried the e2 rom fisrt and its pretty much stock TP2, but no brands nowhere, i loved it, but i wanted more, so i tried the white GTX themed rom ENERGY, but it was too bright when driving at night, maybe for the movies too, its cool thou, but i didnt like how the cloudy weather would blend in with the rest, anyways
now im trying the MAXSENSE 2.5 i like it, but its different to the first one i tried and fell in love with, imma try it for a lil longer maybe i fall in love and forget the e2 rom, but so far e2 and energy are my favorite.
read read read, because i got so confused at first when i see roms for 6.5 and then 6.5.x or 6.5.1, all it is a different design, i didnt like the new sms because its kinda complicated to understand and has the send button to the right kinda like the touchflo send button on the stock tilt and the back button (6.5.1 or x) where the send button is on the 6.5 sms app.
i liked the GTX 6.5 sms skin because its like bubbles like the iphone not as pretty but deff not regular and plain.
but now that im using the ENERGY MAXSENSE ROM im kinda missing the e2 rom, but i hear energy rom is the best one. so imma keep playing with it.
let me know if you need more simple explanations than found here. because i had to go through the same when i first got on here lol

[Q] Needing help finding a noob guide..

Hey guys and gals of XDA, I'm new. My name is Brandon, I have an LG G2. And I have some problems. My first problem is I have a D803. (canadian)
I will tell you guys in short what I want and would appreciate it GREATLY if ya'll could help me out.
1 ) Acquire noob guide to CustomROMing, recovering, and all that gibber gabber. I rooted my phone because it was extremely easy and debloated it using Titanium backup already. I literally have NO idea what i'm doing, I've tried to read through guides but I always get stumped considering i'm using a d803 and the backup program thing didn't recognize my phone.I'm not asking ya'll to sit here and pour all your knowledge to me, just a link would be cool. Although if someone wants to do that it'd be appreciated.
2 ) I want a Nexus5. But I want my G2, physically. lol. long story short I love the stock google feel of a nexus5, I've tried launchers but I can't find any ones that have transparent bars. So, instead i've stolen the nexus background and emulated the look as much as I can. I'm having a hard time finding any support for the d803 that has the Nexus 5 look , Hoping ya'll can help me on that. I found a Paranoid Android one but I don't know how to actually get it onto my device so I gave up.
3 ) More of a question; If I succeed in custom rom'ing my phone, do I lose all 'normal' G2 functions? As in Quickmemo, Slide aside, Knock on, etc? Quickmemo is extremely important for me as a tech salesman being able to write down SKUs real quick and not all over my hands is awesome. But I would be willing to part with it. Knockon, not so much.
More info that may or may not be relevant:
>D803
>Debloated using titanium backup
>Rooted
>32gb black
>access to a computer
So, in closing, I guess i'll sum this post up in a word. Sorry. I seen the intro video to XDA and about how im the devil if I ask a question that's been asked before, and I know this probably has. But it doesn't have the info i'm looking for. Anyone who can just throw me some links in one consolidated place so I have a set starting point, information and a goal, gets a gold star from me.
Thank you for listening to me. Appreciate any and all help in advance.

^^ I've noticed the 4.4 roms are advancing at a nice pace for the G2, give it some time.. I tried some of the earlier 4.4 builds that I couldn't deal with the instability, but I've been running one of the later ones for the last week with very very few issues, so the best of both worlds is hopefully, rapidly approaching.
