i am trying to figure out how to install this rom on my g1 it is freshly rooted g1, i had instructions for installing rom and google addons but lost page.. can anyone plase tell me where a good guide for installing this rom is? thanks
All the info you need is here:
http://theunlockr.com/category/howto/android_how_tos/htc-g1-dream-how-tos/
Or in XDA Forums. If you are rooted you are half way there, also check your SPL (you need DangerSPL).
Good luck.
To keep it simple I would just flash one of the kangs of it like cannon202's CompleteEclair 2.2. I recommend this because this rom does not require DANGER spl. Download it HERE, put it on your sdcard, turn the phone off and apply the update and the gapps.
Hey guys...Im a newbie in all these kinda stuffs... if ur pro, passing by here please drop a comment to help me. u don't really have to answer all questions r.....

SE x8 don't support Flash Player, so i cant play
vids on browser but i know that when rooted, my phone's OS or ROM ( or something similar) can be changed , and many different "things" can be done, my questions are : Is supporting flash player included in the "things"?Which OS or ROM should i change to? Someone suggested me Skyfire Web Browser.. I was stunned... LOL I don't need a browser which can support flash! i needa phone which can support flash player.
Im a newbie and my knowledge is, originally our phones are running on stock roms(which don't allow many things to be done) , once rooted, we can change the stock roms to customized roms...
And we can turn our phone into phones like HTC Desire or G1 or Samsung Galaxy...I NOE IM NOOB PLEASE CORRECT ME!
Everytime i did try to do research on how to make my phone better after rooting, but everytime i view a thread, i will be like
" ****! what u guys talking man ..The words u guys use are killing me...i don't get u guys at all.."
so here are some noob questions please help me :
1)What is/are
modules?
sense? ive seen some people say they can make their X8 run on HTC sense?
firmware?
build number? mine is 2.0.1.a.0.47 , people say there is 2.1.1.bla.bla.bla. Should i and how to update ? (MY X8 is already rooted)
i've found out that, its a should to upgrade my phone to 2.1.1 , as many latest customized ROMs like gingerbread and froyo can be supported on 2.1.1 only.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941458&page=8 ,
i dont get him. if i wanna upgrade, should upgrade then re-root my phone or what
xRecovery?
Jit?
Floyo? Froyo? Gingerbread? are they just themes or what..? What's the advantages of installing them?
Flashing ROMs?
SI number?
2) How to get
multitouch works on x8
flash player works on x8
WHY some people can have their x8s running on android 2.2 or 2.3? WHen running on 2.2 2.3, what's the advantages
IM REALLY CONFUSED NOW DONT KNOW WHAT SHOULD I DO FIRST NOW! first step should be updating my firmware to 2.1.1.a.0.6 eh?
answer
to answer some of your questions, skyfire does support flash and gingerbread, froyo, floyo and all those are roms (operating systems for the phone). you can get gingerbread themes for the older roms. i am actually just after figuring everything out and i just flashed my phone with the latest gingerbread rom
xRecovery = something like a "boot programme" with this you can buck up, mount sd card on case your phone broke down, update to an othed rom, put themes.. And many more... Is the next step after roof.
Jit= something like a programme... But not a programme, it make your phone faster.
Update: depends on your country... Make an update from cp companion.
Multytouch / Dualtouch : not availiable, developers are trying to crack bootloader and some others port it as a module.
Module: if you are not an expert on linux, u dont need to know what this is , its something like help drivers I think...
Flash on x8: Adobe release flash for android 2.2 but last offisial version was 2.1 ... Only easy way to install it is to flash your phone with a rom 2.2 and up, for x8 (with xRecovery)
(no unoffisial rom is realy stable but there are good enought.)
Android 2.2 and up: x2-x5 faster, the speed defference is realy big, so u can get more from your device.
Is: I think this is a code of your phone , a signature of the country it comes from, used on update.
There are some othes simillar numbers like it, ex. Market number...
This is what I know... maybe I am wrong.
1.You can have flash in 2.2 and above ROM..but atm,i dont think theres is fully working
ROM yet to play with it..most of dev a trying their best to make completed ROM,so please be patient a bit.You can try Racht or Jarpelea ROM which is the best rite now for X8, search for it in X8 Android Developement Section.
2.Yes every phone is shipped with stock ROM and we need to rooted it to be able to customized it, Yes you can also turn your phone like HTC Desire or G1 or Samsung Galaxy but in what thing? if u said ROM,you'll have to wait for dev to port the ROM to our X8. and if u said about theme,theres alot of theme,app that can change ur X8 interface to htc,g1.
3.As an regular user, idont think u have to know what modules is,its related to system driver or kernel that u dont want to messed with.Sense is a theme that available on every HTC phone, what their mean by "X8 run on HTC sense" is there a able to use HTC Sense theme on our X8..have u ever see Sense clock? the square white flip clock that available on every HTC phone, thats one of it.
Firmware is also known as official [email protected] from SE like ROM and App.
2.0.1.a.0.47 << this is an old ROM, the latest one is 2.1.1.A.0.6..Yes u should have to update as every update mean better performance, and bug fix..u can update via PC Companion..updating will clear all your data in internal memory, so it doest matter if you already rooted,PC Companion will install new ROM and you have to rooted it again. Yes you are rite, most of dev customized their rom based on latest [email protected] available..Yes again,update will wipe all your things located in internal memory and be replaced with the new one, so upgrade through PC companion and rerooted again.
xRecovery is an app that able u to [email protected] modified system file,able to backup and restored your whole phone if something goes wrong,able to [email protected] [email protected] ROM and many others,i can say it a must have app if u always want to messed with ROM @ custom file from dev.
JIT mean JUST IN TIME,its a file that able to boost your cpu and at the same time save you battery (for me) what is mean by Just In Time is,when u used this file,cpu will only be used when needed eg.opening app,playing games.
Floyo? Froyo? Gingerbread? <<<its a name of ROM,floyo is modified ROM name taken from Froyo which is official Adroid ROM..2.1 (Eclair),2.2 (Froyo),2.3 (Gingerbread)..we are 2.1 which is eclair.
Flashing Roms same a isntalling new rom,upgrading new rom,changing rom to ne one.used xrecovery to flash new rom.
SI number as i know is country code number that determined your location.let say:
2.1.1.A.0.6 for ORANGE <<<build number ORANGE is carrier
SI 1241-4645 <<<<Location code,we cant have same SI number as him if we are from diff location.
multitouch works on x8 <<<Not yet until dev able to [email protected]@modified SE bootloader,multitouch need a driver that properly start whan device boot
(bootloader is SE app that check every driver on every boot,every driver have some sort of SE sign to determined the officiality of the file)
WHY some people can have their x8s running on android 2.2 or 2.3? WHen running on 2.2 2.3, what's the advantages.
==because dev already port the ROM to suitable with X8, that y they can have it running on our X8. 2.2 and 2.3 is a latest build,as you know latest build mean better performance,latest things added in the ROM,and flash can only be run on that ROM..thats the advantage!!
Yes,i think u should update your phone first.
Here you go,hope that i already answering all ur quest.
Arghhhhh thanks so muchhhhh guys. XD
when updated, my phone's internal memory will be cleared up..including all the SYSTEM APPS? then automatically in the new ROM i will have the same SYSTEM APPS as in a newly bought phone?
and i used link2sd, apps that i linked to sd will be wiped away too?

Hey guys I got a few questions,
1. Well its been a long time since I installed an android ROM on my HD2 so I have no idea what i installed at all. Is there any way finding out ?
2. Are there any new programs/new things that should be installed on an HD2
3. Any thing else you reccomend ?
4. How can i remove everything safely from the android rom i have and the bootloader i have.
5. Are there any good Gingerbread ROMS thats well maintained and has sense or thats actually pretty popular ?
6. Any things you might think i might need to know ? Because last time i logged in XDA was like January and alot probably has changed....
From what I know:
Android ROM version: 2011/02/02 gpc_hd2_gingerbread_v1.5
Bootloader?: by cotulla AMGLDR V1.3
I forgot how to use everything etc etc . Please kindly help me
EDIT: Umm, If possible are there any good stock roms or closest to being a stock ?
Well, for number 1 for me under settings>about phone>mod version it tells me that I am using 'Cope and WarrenB's AmeriCanAndroid', but dunno about the rest. Maybe you should search the forums for gpc_hd2_gingerbread and see what results you find.
I think you can find the answers for you questions in my thread, check it out
thanks if i want to clear everything, even the bootloader how? do i just use the task 29 method where you put a stock rom on the sd card and hold the down volume while on boot ?
IMHO you don't need to do a task29. Just make sure you have the correct Clockwork partition layout for the ROM you are installing (it will be mentioned in the ROM's thread).
If you are looking out for a new ROM, I really suggest you take a look at Typhoon's ROM here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
It needs a 150M System partition and 5M cache partition.
Ok, so i had an optimus one, but this is completley different so please help...or point me to some help pages and stuff
I bought an HTC DESIRE HD , as i notice is rooted, it has RCMixHD 6.0.0.1(android 2.3.3 Sense 2.1) ,
kernel V2.6.35.10 - [email protected] march 29
So :
What do i need to install a new ROM ?
I read something about some radio vers, what up with that??
And if i find something else to ask, i will write here !
Thanks in advance , sorry for being a noob
reading is fundamental. i researched HTC phones months before i bought one(came from blackberry). after i got my DHD i stumbled across "rooting". so i did months of research before i rooted my phone. i still feel like im a noob because im still learning and finding new things out. my point is...you should do the research and not expect people to feed you the answers you are looking for. im not trying to be a ****. just shedding some enlightenment.
sent from the Penh.
Yep, no one can click a button and make you learn things like that.
Check the how to threads in the subforum "Desire HD Android Development".
Everything you need is there.
Read, read, read.
well i have experience in android , had 3 devices before but htc devices are a little diff . since my device is rooted , just needed some small steps to move around here
OK ! at least please tell me if can safely update RIL ... i have an older vers and how i can install android revolution ROM
THX!
Start here:

See point number 3 (last lines in the first post), to check if you have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed (you probably have). Do it anyway, to update to new version, if it's the case.
You will flash your roms through ClockWorkMod Recovery.
To reach it, shutdown your phone. Then hold the volume down key and press the ON button (top one). You're in bootloader mode. Choose recovery from the menu, using the volume keys and the On/Off button to confirm.
You will boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery. To install a rom, you would already have downloaded the file in the developer's thread and copy the zip file to the root of the sdcard. Don't mess with the zip.
From the ClockWorkMod Recovery menu, choose install zip from card.
To install radios:

thx joooeee !!! so i found out that my phone is ENG s-off ! that is some work not needed to do by me!
About the RIL, you will only need it if the rom has Sense. No Sense roms don't need it.
And you need to match the RIL to the Radio version installed.
ok so despite what you said, i managed to learn some stuff , i updated radio and RIL
and i have the phone for 3 hours
thx jooooe ! you really helped
Nice. You are ready to become a rom flasher addict.
yeaaah ) and the thing is that this phone has a loooooooooooot of roms ) boston and LG optimus one had few ...and those few are buggy
L.E - flashed 1st ROM ) i haaaaaaaa
As stated everything you need to know is already posted in the forums. Calling your self a noob doesn't excuse you not doing your research before opening a new thread. Come on really? No matter the device there are stickies for them all with all the info a new flasher needs to get started.

upgrade to gingerbread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369296
after upgrade to gingerbread...rooting etc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728
I would recommend that after rooting and installing a custom recovery (ClockworkMod) you should make a full nandroid(complete OS + data) backup and keep it safe on your pc or sd card before you do anything else.
once you have are rooted have a custom recovery.. and a nandroid backup you are ready!..
remember.. when flashing ROMS.. check the baseband..which means.. if you are on gingerbread ROM.. official or otherwise.. you can flash any gingerbread ROM.. if you want to flash a ROM based on ICS.. you should get on ICS baseband.. for that you need to upgrade to official ICS.. then you can flash whatever ICS ROM you want..
as for flashing instructions... the ROM builder will have included that.. so read it.
Hope i helped!
Thank u
I'll do exactly what u said wish me luck to not broke my device
