Now that we have perma root..... (gingerbread) - G2 and Desire Z General

Does that mean that when the Nexus gets Gingerbread (supposedly this week or next) will we able to get it pretty much same day?

Probably not. More likely that we'll be able to get an AOSP-built version within a few days of source release (which generally lacks hardware drivers for camera, etc) until a ROM like Cyanogen 7 is out.

That's still probably going to be a hell of a lot faster than T-mo will push it out

Yeah, it will probably be faster, but by the time its stable, it won't be THAT much father ahead.
Just wait a couple weeks and we should see some good stuff from Cyanogen for the G2

I would imagine we'll see Cyanogen 6.1 for the G2 within a day or 2 since he's already had it running from the sdcard.

Too slow

I have no idea what happened.
I'm using Cyanogen last update and the phone is so slow it is useless.
Specially when closing an app and going back to the home screen... it takes forever for the phone to be available and ready.
What is the problem ? Any hint?

Im guessing you have alot of apps open in the background then, you should consider getting a task killer app from market.
Not really...
A wipe fixes everything.
Thank you guys.
The phone is slow 5 seconds after a reboot.
Home screen takes forever to appear and some time forces close.
I might try another room, I don't know.
Everything you need is right here:

I had the same issue. Here is what i did to fix it
Did a Nandroid backup, wipe ,flash with the 1.6 base rom first, then the latest CyanogenMod rom.
Thanks
Will try your suggestions and post the results
Mine was slowing to a crawl as well, turns out (I think) it didn't run as well with compcache enabled. Since disabling it again it is running much better.

My hint would be ditch Cyan(buggy arse rom)mod and switch to something better and more reliable like either rom in my signiture.

I used cyan for a week then went back to hero.Now im back on hero(espresso).
On the concept of "stable" I think people have preconceived definitions without merit. Take for example the definition of a "stable stochastic process", which though it is nicer to deal with than many Levy processes, is still a pure jump process. If one can accept the idea of a pure jump stochastic process as being "stable" then it is no problem to see any Cyanogen ROM as stable.
As a side note, I have not had any issues with CM that could not be easily resolved. I love his ROMS, but have a lot of respect for the extremely stable work put out by Enom (I only used his ROM for awhile, but switched to CM for the ease in theming).
This has happened to me before with Cyanogen but I found it was more to do with the SD Card. It would happen anytime I removed the USB cable without "Ejecting" the phone first, amongst other things.
The solution was to format the SD Card and reflash but the downside is you lose everything including apps.

so whos still using 1.5 and why?

im still using pancake 1.5, why you ask? because i want to wait until the final sprint release of 2.1 comes out and we get a custom rom fully working and bug free. plus i have my phone customized the way i want it.
so who else chose to not use any newer builds yet?

This isn't responding to your question, but I just switched over to DamageControl v1 and I love it. Pretty much every bug has been fixed, and since it's still Sense, it's possible to get the exact same customization that you had before. Just jump ship to 2.1

naw ill wait, thanks. i use a rom without sense included.
I flip flop between gumbo or modaco since they are so dang stable. Sometimes when I feel adventurous I will flash the new 2.1 Flipz rom. The main reason I dont stick with them permanently is because of little bugs that always seem to pop up and I also prefer to have all of my sprint apps working since Im payin for them.
pancake still
I am still on pancake. It works very well and I have it set how I like it (for now). I am very close to just taking the leap to one of the 2.1s though. Seems like they have most everything working well. Besides, we never know just how long it will be before sprint releases 2.1.
cheers,
ryan
I still use Fresh 1.0 because it has Rosie and it's set up EXACTLY how I want it and there are no bugs. I have tried out all of the new 2.1 Roms except the Legend and there are bugs in pretty much all of them. DamageControl is the closest 2.1 Daily driver I have found
Finally made the jump to damage 1.0 and everything works.
The only thing that will not function is Sprint VVM, and I think GVoice Dial has a problem.
Hell the full screen weather effect from HTC clock is worth the switch. Should see the iPhoners drool when I show them that.
Well, for anyone who's refraining from switching to Damage Control due to concerns about bugs, I'd say that DC1.0 now feels like it genuinely has fewer bugs than Sprint's stock 1.5 does. Really.
With the stock ROM, my bluetooth never worked reliably, my voicemail counter was stuck in perpetually-incrementing mode since late November, and I'm not even going to mention the hell and grief I endured having to pick my poison between HTC's useless keyguard and LockBot's "good cop"/"bad cop" weeks when it would screw up the phone every other time I unlocked it (making itself home, waking up on volume bar presses, etc).
I've now gone for 2 whole days without ONCE taking the phone out of my pocket and finding it unlocked (I deleted HtcKeyGuard* and use the stock Eclair (Flan?) keyguard instead). Google Maps doesn't keep going senile and forgetting how to show traffic unless I reboot. I get 1/4 the FC errors I got with stock (Astrid used to FC so often, I'm amazed it ever managed to work). And countless little things that positively drove me to distraction daily. Thanks to DC, I genuinely like my Hero again. How good is DC compared to stock? If my Dad had a Hero, I'd make him reflash this weekend. If my Mom had a Hero, I'd do it for her. DC1.0 isn't a toy to screw with before groaning and going back to a ROM that works... it's the real deal.

You should work in advertising! Also loving DC1.0
I went from Damage back to Fresh. Fresh is more updated and clean. Damage has too many .odex files.
I can't get BT data transfer to work on 2.x with apps like BT File Transfer I get that lower library level error or whatever so I haven't jumped because that's the only reason I would other than that I can do without the pimped out more battery intensive Sense experience...but don't get me wrong I am excited for it...just gonna wait for the official however I did the radio update so we'll see how it shakes out when I do the upgrade lol.
Do the switch, there bugs are minor...I don't plan on going back to 1.5 ...
I'm pretty happy with DC 1.0 ...

Have you tried a recent (past few days) build of DC? I'm hoping to finally dig into bluetooth this weekend (as soon as I get NBAndroid to work with API >= 5), but it would be immensely reassuring to hear that someone who already knows how to use it has gotten it to work. Few things are harder than trying to simultaneously figure out how to use something AND figure out whether it's crashing because of something YOU did, or crashing because of a problem with the underlying OS/library itself.

I have used every 2.1 that has been deved aside from damage's( that one will be next) but just had to ruu yesterday due to phone freezing. I use my phone constantly and rarely have time to flash or root or anything else. I love the 2.1 roms and will flash again when I have time but for now I am staying with complete stock till I know that the complete lockups are over and it was not a phone issue. That way if I have to get it warrantied then it is not rooted and flashed.
BTW: every rom I used was amazing in its own way. My personal fav was flipz 2.0b.
I'm not sure why people are calling DCv1 unreliable but I flashed coming from fresh 2.0b2 and haven't had a single fc. Everything works and the speed is awesome. Apps2sd was automatic, handcent works great and I'm thoroughly satisfied. I can't imagine going back to 1.5 for anything.

me to Fresh 2.0 feels more refined to me I also don't really use the video record so no big deal and all the Sprint apps work not including VVM. Damage seemed to loose Sprint tv after a day and the verizon tab kept showing back up in the market. I would have to pull it put after reboots. Both are good roms don't get me wrong and it's nice to have a choice.
I'm still sitting on Sprint's stock 1.5 ROM (I thought it was called Cupcake, not Pancake?), mostly because I haven't had any real issues with it. See no reason to change. I suspect that after the 2.1 update, there won't be any more, and then once I get sick of 2.1 I might start flashing custom ROMs, for speed.
Still love Sense though. Couldn't use Android without it, I think.
Would enjoy an easy way (without rooting) to get the Sprint crapware off the upcoming 2.1 stock ROM. I don't care about NFL, Nascar, or TV, but want to keep Sprint Navigation. Also, a way to get rid of the HTC native apps such as Peep and the native IM application.
tduck: There is a ROM called Pancake, and it's different than the stock 1.5 Sprint ROM.
I'm currently using Pancake 1.5. I thought about using the newer builds when the dev's got Camera working but decided to hold off until the final release is issued by sprint, no real reason as to why.

[POLL] Will you keep Froyo?

For the folks that have gotten a taste of Froyo, will you keep it?
Closing this poll in 21 days, I imagine the "officially official" Froyo release will have some variances.
Yes.
[at least 10 characters]
I don't see any poll? My vote would be yes. I went from rooted N1 with stock rom and recovery to amon_ra's recovery and Froyo and haven't found a single bug yet. It's very stable for me and even watched a Youtube flash video which worked flawlessly (keep in mind I only watched one video so far)
.. when it's CM-froyo, yes.. till then 507.
Of course. It works flawlessly on my device and the speed increase is money. Just waiting for the mods now. And for the app devs to send their updates.

im waiting for cyanogen...played with froyo for 5 mins, than did a restore back
I'm keeping it because I love the new features, It's like they listened to me directly because everything I wanted they've updated specifically. I do miss my features with Enoms ROM but I can live without until he releases an update [still waiting on AOSP as far as I know]

Give it a chance rofl. 5 minutes is not enough to discover all the new tweaks/features that Google gave us
Keeping it. There are so many new features and just little visual tweaks that make it so awesome. Like when you mount your phone via USB there's a little android guy. Or if you use more than one language when typing you can just swipe the spacebar to easily switch.
The only cons I've encountered were Handcent fc'ing every time I send a msg and the HTC mod kb not working. However those two things are huge for me.
Overall the speed, visual enhancements and epicness of Froyo is enough for me to roll w the punches until 2.2 source is released and the devs fix up something awesome!

Anyone have issues when powering up the phone? It seems to take forever until it is stable and will actually respond normally. Unrooted Froyo.
Don't know why people would prefer anything older than FroYo.
It's faster, it's reliable, it has cool features and is better looking =)
Definitely a keeper, very happy with it. Now where is my Gingerbread?!

Because its missing all the little tweaks from CM that makes day-to-day on the phone so much more useful. (even little things like remove debug message, trackball track skip, color pulsing, etc)
I think I'm still going to keep it but waiting impatiently for a CM froyo variant for sure.
Keeping it. The 2 issues I had, have been fixed by app updates for dolphin HD and handsent. And I think there's a fix out for HTC ime that I have to find.
I'm keeping it for now, but once enom and CM start building new ROMs with a Froyo base, then I'll probably move onto those
I got froyo, then went back to cyan5.0.6 due to the fact that apps are not updated yet. But I went back to froyo last night willing to be patient. I cant wait for cyan froyo 6.0 Being stock sucks and to me the reg functions of the phone are slow compared to 5.0.6.
You know how many times I hit my trackball to wake my phone up and unlock and im like "****" lol....
cyan ROMs are the shiznit!!!
Tried Froyo, went back to 2.1
It's not so much I had anything against Froyo... everything worked great with Froyo itself... but none of the widgets I use worked with Froyo, so I reverted.
where's the option to keep a nandroid of both froyo & CM and switch back & forth as needed?
I'm keeping it for now; I REALLY miss some of my apps though.
Since none of them are updated for Apps2SD yet my phone memory's almost full & started rejecting text messages.
Couple that with I have over 100 apps that I can't even find on the market again and yeah.. I'm waiting for CM =(
Love the flash player and hulu on the go though; so for now, it stays...

Not pointless; there's the other 99% of the Aria users who would benefit from the 2.2 upgrade on the Aria. Of them probably 95% don't even know there are different versions of Android, but anywho...
My wife would be included.. I don't mess with her laptops, phones, etc, unless she needs me to, and her Aria runs great as is, but it'd run better on 2.2
does anyone know whether it's possible to use the Froyo firmware from the OTA update and flash it via a PC?
I'm using an Optus Aria (Australia) and I'd like to have Froyo, but would also like to keep it as stock as possible.
I think it's going to be a while before Optus comes out with the Froyo update.
Alternatively, is there any way to trick the phone into thinking it's an unbranded phone and then allowing the OTA update?

This may be a stupid question, but that's been posted on XDA? If so, I'll find it myself, no worries; however, I was just curious as I just got a root Aria off of eBay for simply playing around with Android hacking, etc.
Just didn't want to take the risk of bricking my everyday phone or screwing something functionally to the point where it works but is annoying.
Hi everyone, I'm located in Malaysia and I've just begun downloading the Froyo update via FOTA. I'll update this thread once the installation is complete.
For anyone interested, my Aria is stock 100%. Not rooted ever. My intention is to compare 2.1 and 2.2 on the Aria and see if there is a significant difference, although App2SD and Wifi Tethering are already good enough reasons to switch......
I'll post back again.
Well, I've updated successfully to the new Froyo. The experience wasn't bad or anything. If anything it was simple and quick. Once the update was downloaded OTA, the installation only took 3-5 minutes in which the screen would stay on for the most part (displaying a "syncing" icon of sorts). I did have a problem with the installation once it was done, the HTC Sense couldn't boot up. It just kept force closing itself when it couldn't load. To fix the problem I had to do a hard reset (this is why you should back up your data prior to updating). Once that was done, I was navigating my Aria with relative ease.
What are the changes I've noticed so far? Plenty! If you're like me and have never rooted your phone, you probably would've missed out on a lot (just like I did). Here's a list of what I've encountered so far.
1) Wallpapers for the "Lock-Screen" is no longer separate from your Home wallpaper. Might be a bad thing for some but I never really cared for it anyway.
2) Live Wallpapers are SUPPORTED now! Something I've been looking for a while. Now I can use timester on my Aria.
3) It has all the usual 2.2 updates like Wifi Tethering, App2SD, App Sharing, etc. Not lacking anything there.
4) New HTC Sense widgets (so far I've spotted a new SMS widget which is a lot nicer than the "Rolodex" widget)
5) Comes with Google Voice search, Google Navigation, Google Car Dock, New Gmail app and a host of other things.
In terms of stability, well its an OEM released ROM so I doubt there'll be any problems.
Well that was just my quick run through on the 2.2. Definitely worthwhile the wait and I'm glad its out now.
So how do I apply this to my stock Att aria??

Well I'm officially an idiot (yes, it has been said before ), but the Liberated Aria Froyo ROM is from the Gratia and on Froyo.
Yes, that's pointing the obvious, but I'm sure people may have missed that (I clearly did, though I had no idea how/why... ).
So when this does come officially, rooting is lost? Or is it just a matter of time before a new method is developed?

I used Liberated Froyo for a few weeks, but it was a battery draining, laggy, slow, gimpy WiFi-d piece of junk. Use CM! But if you like Sense, I don't know what to tell you. I would NOT recommend Liberated Aria Froyo.

Me neither. But after a research I realized that it becomes slower because of the Live Wallpapers, even when you're not using them. I installed the LW zip on the stock rom and it became slow. So that's why the FROYO rom is the way it is. If someone could disable that I believe it could run a lot faster.

I don't want to play the devil's advocate... but I wouldn't talk so down upon a great ROM since I have had no problems with it being slow and laggy, no problems with the WiFi (on both kernels), and my battery lasts just as long as it does with CM6 (about a day (18 hours) to a day and a half without a charge, depending no my overall usage) with a fair amount of e-mails and texts coming in, calls everyday, and moderate gaming and internet usage (I have WiFi set to sleep every 15 minutes, mobile data to turn on when WiFi is off, both GPS and network locations are on, background data and automatic syncing is also on)....
Maybe I'm lucky? ...
So while CM has it's quirks and advantages... don't just shoot down the other ROM...
EDIT: Oh, and I don't use SetCPU to underclock when sleeping.

Got my first N1

Hey guys. I'm still kind of new to Android. I've had a couple, but always found something wrong, so I returned them. Im really liking the OS coming from iPhone. I recently returned my Atrix and bought an at&t N1. So far I love it. Its running 2.3.1 on CM6.
But I would like some mod suggestions? Roms? Anything you other N1 users really like?
Also, is there a way to increase the volume? Both headphone and ear piece? Its kind of hard to hear those that are soft talkers.
Thanks guys!

every once in a while I try out a sense rom and quite enjoy it but I keep coming back to cyanogenmod for it's speed, stability and customizability(that's probably not a word but you know what I mean). I was the exact same way with my old htc magic. If you want to try sense, check out the Desire HD port. there are TONS of really nice features in sense. Also, some people really like the MIUI rom. Personally, I'm not a fan because it seems like it's trying to copy iOS too much but a lot of people love it.
I think I did read something about a volume hack once but I never tried it out myself. never really had any problems.. then again, I very rarely use my phone as an actual phone
Welcome! Got my 1st N1 a couple of weeks ago...it beats the crap out of the newer phones IMHO. CM7 is running great for me.

I agree. Still a better phone than the new ones. With the help of a friend, I just flashed CM7. The only force close I got was you tube.
I would still like to find some thing about the volume.
And anything about using an OC kernal on CM7?

the first phone I've seen that I would get over the nexus one is the evo 3d
and it's still missing a few things that the nexus one has..
it's a shame
anyway, you should be able to play around with dsp manager to get things a bit louder I think
N-1
I have a Droid X I have had for about 6 mos. While my DX has GB and has benchmarked at 2137 I miss my N-1! Don't get me wrong I love my DX but that N-1 was sweet! Keep it! It isn't a developer phone for nothing. I miss my Nexus One!
Welcome to XDA and the awesome Nexus1...Happy Flashing!
Im currently typing this on my Atrix, patiently waiting the arrival of the at&t N1 that I just ordered. I feel like somekind of prisoner carrying this Atrix. Can't wait to be free.

Your nexus one
The nexus one is an awesome phone. But as everyone know it lacks on board storage space. This will frustrating when you are trying to load that final app and you are down to your last 20 mbs and you keep getting the Memory low error message.
A lot of roms have claimed to address this but I have tried them all and have had an N1 for about a year. CyanogenMOD is awesome but CM7 really has issues and you will fall in love with some of the features but still feel as if you need something more. I use Super AOSP with my N1. It allows me to have APPS2SD capability that was fairly easy to setup and works flawlessly. I had over 100 apps installed and my phone still showed over 160MB of storage available on the phone. I never had a force close or any problems at all really. So yeah in my opinion the N1 is great, but with a few hacks it can be excellent.

Currently I am using an HTC Thunderbolt and the phone is phenomenal as well but the Nexus One is still truly a great phone. Even after being out for a year there are still phone trying to keep up with it. If only the N1 was available for Verizon I would have never made the switch.

I know that exact feeling. I loved about 98% of my Atrix. But I know it will never gets roms like the N1. It's amazing how well it runs for being as old as it is. I really hope Google gets with HTC again for their next Nexus. I wont buy a Nexus S. Enjoy your N1 when you get it.
CM 7 isn't perfect, but I like it so far. I'll probably flash something different in a couple days.

So I'm having a couple issues with CM 7 and since I don't have 10 posts yet, ill post here.
None of my e-mails in gmail are coming through. I have auto on, but they aren't getting pushed. I have to go into my gmail app and high refresh to get my e-mails.
Also, on my last rom, push notifications worked for Facebook. But they aren't on CM7.
Also my battery life seems to have gotten worse since the other 2.3 rom I had.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

First day with N1, reboots just after entering PIN.
Just got my first Nexus One. Wow, is it a sleek phone, and the speed increase... mmhmm. A marked difference to my now sadly departed X10i.
Came direct with 2.3.3. (it's been used as a display piece, but otherwise completely new). But then the trouble started. Constant reboots right after entering the PIN and when everything should start. Boom! Back to the X-screen and most of the time, a reboot, but sometimes it gets completely stuck there.
Succeeded in making a factory reset in the 10 seconds of working time that the phone gave me... After which things seemed to go well. Until it appeared again, again, again.
I'd re-flash, but I'm not familiar enough with the procedures. Which file should I recover with using the "update.zip"? (No custom stuff for me, this is still my first day with the phone). IF a pre-rooted version is available, I'd go for that, but if not, the stock one should do as well.

You can reflash your N1 to 2.2 with the instructions from wiki. After that you should get back to 2.3.3 with OTA update.
