Sorry if this is a stupid question guys, but I've just bought a HD2 with the energy rom already on it, what is this and why is it better than the standard rom?
Hi,
You have 100% right - it is stupid question.
ROM - It's another name for operating system with drivers and settings, its a compilation.
Why You use Win XP on Your desktop instead of Windows 3.11 ?
! Because it's better, it's faster, more intuitive, more stable, it's.....
Each ROM is developed for some reason - somebody fix something or change few things.
In my case HTC gives a sh_ _ on me with ROM updates for my region / country - Only thing to do was to flash unofficial ROM.
Read, then ask question.
wow, thats the way to make a neebie welcome. I know you guys want people to read and search more before posting but come on... Im glad not everone is like that.
I also have a couple of newbie questions but ill post in about 6 months after ive read every single post on the site to make sure no one hs asked the question before.
RReckless
Don't make a evil daemon from me , I start with joke , then gently tell what is what and why with ROM, and on the end give a good advice to search and read before asking.
know it all geeks
dont worry bout him mate u always get some gimp know it all like him on here theres lots of helpful people on here 2
perhaps I should've worded it better, I've haven't had a standard hd2 as it was like this when I bought it, but I meant what is different on the energy rom to standard? also is there asetting to lock the keypad when I press the bottom left phone button? mine just turns the screen off but all you have to do is repress it and your back on, I've already called someone in my pocket

In regards to your Energy ROM question, I've been to the HD2 ROM forum (couple of clicks back from this one) and the top posting is the Energy ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
There is a brief outline of the advantages, straight from the developer themselves.

its extremely annoying for the regulars on this site to keep seeing the same noob questions asked over and over again.
That is what SEARCH is for.

Lock the phone manually by pressing the start button then tap LOCK (at the bottom of the screen), then next time the screen goes off it will lock automatically.

what exactly do you mean by "regulars?" Is this how "regulars" welcome a new user on this forum?
i don't see why "regulars" like you, act like you are getting paid that a noob redundant question annoys you. You are not even obligated to answer any questions that you do not feel like answering.

The reason regulars are like that is it wastes everyone's time when you ask the same questions over and over.
It wastes the noob's time typing the message when a simple search up the top can answer it in a few clicks.
It wastes the noob's and the regular's time by making them sift through pages of redundant threads rather than having new original issues - if a noob has an original issue, it may take ages for someone to find it to answer, thats if they manage to find it at all.
A lot of noobs tend to ask the redundant question without searching, then when the thread moves through several pages, they bump it with a "no one going to help!?!" reply. This would move it above an issue that may well have a higher importance, yet it would have been quicker for them to search than to trawl through and find their thread to reply to.
If noobs did more searching, we wouldn't have to keep explaining the reasons why we ask noobs to search every time they don't.

Having said the above, let's pretend a newbie have joined the forum today and have asked a question that may have been asked and solved already or better yet asked something that a no brainer can do.
Does that make it annoying for "regulars" already? Your explanation sounds more like you are saying that "regulars" are obligated to answer questions from a noob, yet it is not.
and you said ---> "then when the thread moves through several pages, they bump it with a "no one going to help!?!" reply." <---- and these kind of things affect the so called "regulars"? Does it hurt??? that you need to harass a newbie?
My reaction would be, so what if it moved several times??? I've seen a lot of a very old post that is being answered to this date.

Theres no need for your reaction here.
Just ask yourself this... why is there a sticky thread right at the top of this forum that tells people how to use search?

That sticky serves as guide to a do a search, because not all users know how to use search.
My point is, you and the rest of the so called "regulars" act like they have the right to harass or treat newbies like they did have no education at all.
It doesn't mean you see "newbie or junior member" then they should be treated this way.
There's another way of saying things like "Hey man, try searching the forum by using this" instead of "make sure you DO its extremely annoying for the regulars on this site to keep seeing the same noob questions asked over and over again."

The way people come across on internet forums is not necessarily how they would come across in a real life conversation. For example... my reading of your posts in this thread gives me the image of you jumping up and down ranting like a madman. Kind of like Animal out of the muppets...

I mean theres a moderater sticky saying the exact same thing i am saying!
Granted his words might seem friendlier then mine but look at the post i was replying to. Theres an example of someone using sarcasm to try and make the point that it takes too much time to search.
The reason it takes a long time to search is because noobs DONT search and post the same questions over and over. Its an endless circle of death.

Mods please close this If you think I am wrong.
Firstly there are a lot of guys here asking about the same problems with android which I dont think are being noticed because the messages are either deleted or thread closed so no one see's.
I am not the only one with these problems with android but here are the 2 main ones that keep popping up and mods keep knocking us back down telling us to post in the relevent thread yet these problems are not for a relevent thread.
1. With certain Android Roms users are experiencing when answering and making calls the phonecall will be disconnected due to a problem with the proximity sensor.
2. With the latest Zimage from Cotulla certain users are getting the SOD (screen of death) when the phone goes into standby mode. Cotulla has mentioned this problem is fixed yet we cant find this fix anywhere and he has released the GPS working fix yet no SOD fix?
Hope I dont come off too strong its just when we as in the members try and get our opinion across or ask for help, we are shot down instantly by Moderators who frankly I know more Info than them and they should not close threads on guessing what our problem is.
Thanks, and If anyone thinks I should be a part of the staff Team Just gimme a shout, and ill keep things in order!

Oh waste of thread so you have the answers for us somewhere else then do you? Please share!

have you posted the disconnect problem in the respective rom. I personally have never had it.
secondly if you are getting the green screen of death with the 25th zimage you should revert back to the 23. That image is considered to be the most stable for those who have sharp panels which is what is causing the Gsod.
my two cents
From what I have seen, said mods are only closing threads that their questions have been answered in the sticky information. Its those questions that had made it fustrating for the mods the dev's and the general xda community. I literally see the same questions over and over and these have been answered.

Well not all Android Builds are there same so you are going to have different results, Darkstones proximity sensor for calls works perfect, GPS has been fixed and working except the releases are all home made so far not official, the latest zimage is random for some people, personally works perfect for me but on another hd2 i have available the same build the image doesn't work, so who knows,
and as far as creating threads for problems and questions and answers its a waste of time because they get ignore and dropped down the pages like the thread i made yesterday to help out but nobody uses it or adds any extra info for it, cause it is mainly new people come here for android and they cant be arsed to search for anything and think everything works perfect straight away
@bazgee my point is there is many threads open and closed because you new people just wont search anything
Dude, all these questions have been answered like a 1000 times... Use search! you'll find a solution / answer!
I'm a noob at this.... really, and i had my fair share of hick-ups.. I've researched and read a lot for two days before attempting to install.. This way i knew what my problem would or would not have... I have not asked any questions yet regarding Android errors, please read and research dude... You'll find it!
If not, send me a pvt message and i will search it for you! The mods dont like it if you open these kinds of threads.. Unless you absolutly sure your the only one with this problem..
No offense, just making a point..
Were is the text selection method of Desire in Froyo?
Friends help me if possible, In Desire Build V5 .... to select a portion of text, we have a selection method like iphone, that alowed to stretch and shrink, was better than iphone, because we can send it to google tradutor or even to twitter or email.
Now, in Froyo this method of selection dont work...we have one like WM....and is wast we just can copy!!
For exemple:
How did you select a portion of text to edit bold, italic or underline??
I give my centims to, who can, make the a phrase like mine up with Froyo Darkstone V1 in HD2
Is any option off? or is it a app, which?
if not, it's possible to port the method selection of Desire in Froyo.
thanks

So Im guessing my second question still cannot be answered. Cotulla has said the SOD has been fixed yet where is this fix? GO ON search and then try and call me a noob.
I know for a fine fact there will be loads of users reading this right now agreeing with me and glad that I posted this.
Dude, i'm not calling you a noob, and i'm not dissin you in anyway,
The SOD, came with the latest Zimage from the 25th, dont use this one.. Get the ZImage from the 23rd NO SPEEDY!
If your problem still persists, i suggest you:
- Remove SD and SIM card
- Hard Reset
- Task 29 it
- Put a compatible radio on it, (See my signature for a example)
- Put a decent winrom on it, like Chuckys, Miri or Energy
- Hard reset it again
- Insert Sim and SD card
- Format SD CARD (uncheck quick format)
- Put an Android built on it, with Zimage Nospeedy from the 23rd
- perhaps a Android Loader...
Do this, might take you 30 min overall... and you'll be home free...
Now i've explained it again.. hope this helps and hope you'll research more in the future..
Alright bro, Good luck
maybe It hasnt been released. I know for sure the first few post says the 23rd is the most reliable version. I personally check his uploads daily. I havent seen it.
Zimage of the 25th was released untill everyone started to complain, then Cotulla removed the link...
To the OP.
I agree, some things need to be searched first, and your orig questions have been answered, I also to some extent agree with the you though, things get locked/deleted MUCH to soon.
In my case I searched for 2 days, found nothing, then posted a thread for thoughts and to help the devs of that Img/Kernal out with some info. I doubt they ever saw it because it was locked.
My issues are with the Camera (black screen only) and no Audio in phone calls. (yet i could get audio in EVERYTHING else)And yes, CLRCAD, etc, I know...
I was told to post in the relevent thread, but in my case, there wasn't one. So meh, it happens. I only thought I should have at least had a chance to respond but w/e.
I just purchased a Droid2, and the add on's from Motorola are some of the best I've seen, mainly referring to their email app.
Anyway to port a whole build from one phone to another? If so, what goes into that. I'd love to see that build working on my HD2!
generallll generallll there is a general seccion why you post here i still dont understand...
im not even going to read this i can tell from the title it doesnt belong here just trying to keep the tread clear so newer people can stop getting confused
I am so sorry to have bothered the two of you. Since I have this forum linked, I usually don't go to the main HD2 section.
Guess this sums up XDA these days, elitest folks who MUST know more than us with questions!
Thanks for the heads up!
Oh and xpoloxp, I'll take a moment and teach you how to reply to threads that are legitimately in the wrong forum:
Your reply:
"generallll generallll there is a general seccion why you post here i still dont understand..."
How about this to have a touch of civility instead:
"There is a general section in case you didn't know and your post probably belongs there."
There! See how that makes one sound human while not mindlessly debasing someone and ASSUMING that they (when you said you) post things in the wrong forum all the time.
Class dismissed, and mod's, feel free to move this if it's needed.
Anybody have any ideas. I am aware that devs are not supporting the original leak. But im just looking for info more than anything. Every once in a while i will hit the home button and as soon as i return to the home screen the calendar clock, and the feeds and updates widget are no longer there.
I think I know what you're talking about. If you wait a little bit they come back... think it's the launcher resetting. Did it to me a lot too, switched to super clean, haven't seen it since *knock on wood*.
This belongs in general. Read Me
But it happens to me to with beautiful widgets. Time and again. i just deal with it since this is not the final build.
I understand what your guys are saying but thats not my problem. im fully aware that if you use adobe flash, or apps that use a lot of resources that if you hit home sometimes it will refresh the home screen (happened all the time on the Original droid). My problem is the widgets disappear all together meaning they dont reappear. Ohh and this isnt a general question this question refers to an unofficial rom aka ROM DEVELOPMENT!!!
Also its not all the widgets that disappear it just the Samsung widgets (i only use calendar clock, and feeds and updates widget)
If you read that link you would see that your question should have gone in the leak thread. Or your thread should have been started in general. Why must people try to justify their mistakes?
good day. From the Fascinate sporting the XDA app.
Here are few key excerpts so you don't have to read the whole thing:
If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
So remember… before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can’t answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?
There are way to many people on this forum that obviously don't get any ass.

And same here op. It bothered me for awhile cause I really like the program monitor widget and that blue digital clock. I ended up just getting another widget from the market but touchwiz seems to make it all shaky every time I went to another screen. Wish there was a fix, but I just deal with it.

First of all, I'm married, so of course I don't. And second, I don't see how sexual frustration = desire for the development board to remain uncluttered with stuff that belongs elsewhere. Can you explain that?

Seriously? He just wanted to know why his Widgets are disappearing. If you seriously expect anyone new to this forum to read through a big list of rules, it sucks all the fun out of being an android user. He posted in the wrong section, we get it.

^I agree with you wholeheartedly, and I dont think they were trying to attack him personally, but...
it's a matter of frustration that established users have here with people completely disregarding the rules (and this is coming from someone with low post count). To my understanding the development fora are supposed to be FOR devs, not end-users. I think our role as end-users (in this development forum) is to provide support in terms of bug reporting (or whatever the dev might need) and such WITHIN specific dev threads. By not adhering to the rules, new users are unintentionally changing the dynamic of how these fora are supposed to operate.
So they're not trying to be d*cks, they're just trying to maintain the integrity of this forum.

Here is the third post of the thread. It contains a simple reminder to please post in the correct section, and an answer to the original question. Exactly as you suggest, telling him once.

Here is the very next post. It shows the original poster, who obviously didn't read the provided readme in the above post, attempting to justify his posting in the wrong section. This is where it became an issue, when the OP, instead of admitting his mistake and avoiding misplaced topics in the future (which would be perfectly forgivable, and not a problem) defends his uninformed postition with his own flawed logic.

Easy solution: Read the rules, and when you're corrected by someone with 10 times your post count, who provides verification, just admit you were wrong.
How about a solution to this problem,, in the sub forum section page change the expalnation of the 4 sub forums to capatilazation and place it before the actual sub forum link and change the sub forum link to un capitalized font . I think this might help force people to rerad first before clicking the link.

No one has a problem with everyone being able to post in the development forum, Just people cluttering it up with things that belong in the general forum. I will never understand how people can argue so hard for anarchy. If developers and veterans are complaining about the state of the site, then maybe you ought to get your act together or we'll just leave. Then who's going to help you with your issues? Other noobs who have won the right to post wherever the hell they want by driving off the people who actually make roms and mods and fixes. If the op wanted a topic for his specific issue, he should have posted it in general. If he wanted to post in development he should have done so in the thread for the rom he is using, not created a new thread. It's clearly stated in the rules. Why is that such a problem to some people?

Let me put it into context for you:
Here is the third post of the thread. It contains a simple reminder to please post in the correct section, and an answer to the original question. Exactly as you suggest, telling him once.
Here is the very next post. It shows the original poster, who obviously didn't read the provided readme in the above post, attempting to justify his posting in the wrong section. This is where it became an issue, when the OP, instead of admitting his mistake and avoiding misplaced topics in the future (which would be perfectly forgivable, and not a problem) defends his uninformed postition with his own flawed logic.
Easy solution: Read the rules, and when you're corrected by someone with 10 times your post count, who provides verification, just admit you were wrong.

I'm sorry dev, but the number of people who are dumb and being asses gonna to out strip you by more than 100 to 1. You should learn to tolerate that as being the norm, to have common sense is pretty much a crime to humanity and the norm.

He's a troll, just ignore him. This thread should be locked since the OP has been helped and it's just going downhill.
Thanks for all your work sonofskywalker, I keep alternating between Blackhole and Superclean still trying to figure out which is a better fit.
I'm trying to post a question on the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138051
For the Taboonay 2.2 rom and it says that I need to post 10 times elsewhere before I can ask my questions (paraphrased). This is lame!
How am I supposed to ask a question in a relevant thread and have my problem potentially fixed and have others see this problem fixed so it can help them as well? Is this not what forums are for?
This is a bit of a rant but I really need to figure out how to get my bluetooth working after I updated to 2.2 so does anyone have any idea how I can be able to post in that thread to get my (and potentially others') problem solved? Thanks.

This is a tech question post. In the question forum.one more post from you will be 3 of 10 to be able to post in developers section.
This rule is to help keep non development related post from new members out of the forum.read forum rules is advisable ..
Enjoy XDA don't confront them.the rules are set in stone
Post here someone will help likely.
Good luck.
Well, Vache asks us to post in that thread if we need help so that's what I tried to do. I'll post something here-- it's still a lame rule and these arbitrary forum rules are really annoying though. I still can't get over the ones that filter-out three character (or less) searches. I mean, how else is one supposed to search for things like: pdf, etc, gui, kde, x86, ...? Anyway, I don't think these forums have this filter but I'm trying to increase my post count.
Thanks.

Apparently not in this thread? lol
Just keep posting after everyone else in here. You should hit 10 posts in a few minutes.

Giggles your close
in my opinion its a stupid rule. Im a long time reader and have lots of experince with roms / computers / programming and cant post to dev till ten post so spamming which defeats their purpose of trying to reduce spam
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Rules are rules, I think the 10 post rule is to keep it sorta tidy in here, I was on one forum with little rules and it was fluded with crud.
I don't mind the rules ans love the search button.
I've got nothing to add.. just wanted to see my post count..
I for one don't know if it really is all that effective compared to perhaps a 1 week post restriction after initial signup. I read through the replies in the dev section and can understand why a dev would not revisit their thread. I could go spam several threads to get to 10, but why contribute to increased database size for no beneficial reason? I'm sure this view has been expressed before.
It's precisely BECAUSE of spammers that this rule was instigated in the first place.
No offence, but I think we seemed to have missed the point of this post, and that was to try and help this guy out with his bluetooth problem. Now since you have your 10 posts is it safe to assume that you have moved on to the taboonay post and asked your question there?
I think there should be more notice that you are limited for the first ten posts when you sign up. I'm quite observant, but also quick and to the point. I probably signed up in the least clicks possible and read only what I needed. Then I tried to post in the taboonay thread as well and got shut down by the forum.
Not saying it doesn't say it; but as I don't usually miss things, you might want to make that more clear.
I would *love* it if someone helped me with my Bluetooth problem. I posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302082
and in the Taboonay thread but so far have had no bites... Guess I'm the only one with the problem or something.
Personally, I'd rather post in a forum or sub-forum rather than a thread that has hundreds of replies each having a different problem. It's kinda like having multiple conversations with one other person over chat. Anyway, vache asked us to post there so I did...
I also would love to figure out to keep the speakers muted when the headphones are plugged-in but it seems that I'm the only one having that problem too-- although maybe I'm not using the right searchwords...

This is probably little comfort, but if you're experiencing such issues with Taboonay, perhaps you should go back to stock? I'm running stock, I'm very happily running stock, although I am using Richard Trips kernel just so that I can overclock. Everything works fine on my tab...
The reason they did not respond to your question in the tqbooney thread is due to the fact this is actually answered several times in there and on other threads.go to.

Type XDA headset jack speaker s2ound issue or something similar you will find the threads. Good luck hope this helps you avoid waiting to be fed in the near future.

What have you tried so far to resolve those issues? Personally i would do the necessary wipes of the usual things, then reinstall the rom and see if that fix the issues...To me almost all Rom seem moody, you can do every thing right and end up with alot of problems. Do the same thing again and they work without a prob...
I am running stock 3.2 only modified for Root with Thor Kernel. The min i pair my BT headphone or plug in head set, the sound on tablet speaker get muted. Also if you still having prob with the Rom after you have tried all possible solutions. I will advice you to try the stock 3.2. Its really fast and Zero problems so for.

SERIOUSLY?!? Is that the best you can do? How patronizing is that?!?! Tell me to search the forums and say that there are solutions to my problem but not actually help me by providing links etc.??? I know how to search forums and have been doing so for well over a decade. Why do you think my post count is so low!?!?!? I search forums!
Now, when I finally have a legitimate question that I can't find an answer to all I get from people is "search the forums".
You're right about a couple of things. Yes, there are questions about getting Bluetooth working in the Taboonay 2.2 thread but they are all fielded by *me* with no answers in sight! You're also right about the fact that there is probably an answer here in the forums-- but I can't find it so I'm asking for help!!!!
Seriously, telling me to search the forums and not providing any concrete help is more of a waste of time and space than actually re-posting a solution!
Sorry, if this sounds like I'm angry, but it's because I am. BTW, did you actually look at the Taboonay thread? You may have noticed about 50 people asking how to fix the market on the latest upgrade and multiple solutions re-posted. No one got after those people for re-posting the same question multiple times. Also, I didn't need to re-post a question about the market because it was there and I fixed it.
Now, it's my turn: if you're not going to be helpful don't post anything at all!!!

I tried doing a fix permissions in CWM and I tried re-installing TabletTalk. I haven't tried a full wipe yet but that's because I'm afraid to lose my stuff. I still need to figure-out a proper backing-up solution (which I haven't started to look into yet).
I'd prefer not to install a stock 3.2 if possible but I guess I could try that. I just want to make sure I stay rooted.
