Couple questions about Cynogen and settings.

Hi, I am currently running Cynogen 4.0.4 on my rooted Mytouch 3g. I used the one-click method to root it. I also downloaded the 4.1.11.1 to my computer just incase. Do you guys think I should go to the 4.1? Is is the same? How do I upgrade and will I lose all of my apps if I upgrade?
I was also considering to just go back to stock because Cynogen got stopped. Will Cynogen ever be making new Roms? If not should I be going back to stock because I just want to have the newest features and updates but still have a fast phone.
Just one more question now about settings, I have the Hero keyboard but I activated the touch vibration when I type and now I want to disable it. Everytime I disable it I start typing and it comes back. How can I fix this? Thank you.

You can't upgrade to Cyan 4.1 at the moment as he has taken his downloads offline because of the legal dispute with Google.
I would recommend RogersRom 1.5 (see my signature) if you want a fast rom with Cyan's kernel, compcache, betterbrower etc. personally I would not go back to stock as the mods made by the devs here at xda are worth keeping.
Not sure about your keyboard vibrating ... have you enabled haptic feedback in Spare Parts? You might need to turn it off in there as well as in the touch input settings.

Haptic feedback is DISABLED so I don't know what the problem is. I will just uninstall and reinsatll the hero keyboard. And just to be sure Cynogen is done completely with roms? If so are there any other good roms besides Rogers that are not hero. And how do you install a new rom on top of the Cynogen one I have? Thanks for you help.

to change roms just wipe and flash over it. as for Cyanogen I don't think he's stopping anytime soon. check out his website..cyanogenmod.com
read his updates,
he's still in full force.

There are several ways to get the cyanogen roms =P... Just do some search =P...

Problem with installing live wallpaper in wildfire

Hello peoples.
I'm new here, and sorry for my bad language =).
I am facing an issue with installing the live wallpaper in my htc wildfire. I have already go thru some similar threads actually, but I still decided to open a new thread to state my problem clearly. I'm sorry if I'm wrong to do so =).
I've actually found a nexus one live wallpaper ( with I'm desperating for ) in this forum. However, after I installed the .apk file, nothing happen. I have tried to launch it from astro file manager and it says "Activity not found".
At home screen, I choose to change wallpaper, and the live wallpaper doesnt appear there. Same goes to home, htc sense and my lovely ADW launcher.
I have seen people using that livewallpaper in youtube videos, so it should be usable for wildfire right? What is wrong?
Your replies and views are greatly appreciated =). Thank you

If you're using stock ROM, Live wallpappers are not supported. They are supported in custom ROMs.

and finally there's a reply from you guys T_T.
thank you so much buddy.
stock rom means, the original rom comes with purchase? ( i guess so ).
thanks for your info =)

Yes indeed, stock = original rom.

If load a custom rom to my phone & don't like it, would I able to load the stock rom??

I doubt froyo would add live wallpapers. By the way why are there no lwp on the wildfire? the hero has them with 2.1 and that has nearly the same cpu

[Q] Question about ASOP ROM

Sorry for asking such a question, it's hard for me to follow XDA, there lots of pages. So basically, I rooted my phone, JIT my phone (benchmark ~710) but I still feel that it's somehow lagging and I wan to make the best of it. I pondering whether to install 2.1 Custom ROM ASOP or Froyo 2.2.1 AOSP ROM.
I more into gaming, music, video, facebook etc so I don't think Froyo will be suitable for me since there's lot of bugs such as cannot install certain apk, no camera (don't know still got what). What about 2.1 ASOP? With it be better compared to now? And there's three version (full, light, ultralight). Which one should I install?
And is it replacing the original ROM or just another ROM (meaning I can switch back to the original ROM anytime).
FYI : I wish to keep chinesetextinput, JapaneseIME, PhoneBook, mediascape. I already using Launcher Pro Plus so I don't need the Launcher Pro launcher
Thanks in advance!

Don't install either of those roms time as they are not finished and can't really be used for everyday use .

sit tight mate, they (Jerpelea) is about to release v5 of his AOSP 2.1 ROM - and he says that the dialler is working.
also, thank you for not posting in the DEV thread!!! you have no idea how frustrating it is looking for bug reports in that thread now - i feel so sorry for J and Z
edit: just re-read your first post. Are you sure u need to keep mediascape? there are better alternatives that are provided in vanilla (AOSP) android, that do not get so intrusive in the system. The AOSP rom is a complete flash, so you have to choose to use it or something else.
The full, light and ultralight are NOT AOSP ROMS either so you know, they are customised SE roms that can be used with Zdzihu's recovery menu. These CAN be used with your existing ROM in a way, but you will need to juggle backups and image files. can be done, but takes about 10 minutes to change. Safe and works, but a little clunky

First of all, backup everything u want! Titanium backup ot even the .apk on ur SD or PC
I am running both...
2.1 custom AND 2.2 custom, i cant make any calls on 2.1 -> reboot to 2.2
Cant take pics from camera -> reboot to 2.1
...
It works fine for me
My quadrant results:
2.1 ~720
2.2 ~2200
Thx for posting a new thread and not spamming the dev thread...
Edit: yes, u can go back to original SE rom, just use the link for the .504 version in the first post of 2.1 custom rom thread

@mrtim123 : Thanks but can you futher explain what you mean recovery menu? So you meaning the ASOP will replace the current ROM while the customised SE roms can be use with the current ROM anytime?
From the custom ROM ASOP thread,
They stated:
Not working
-video playback is not using hardware decoder for some formats
-camera settings crashes
So the dailer is already working?
And will remove mediascape result in problems in the future? Heard from some thread that it will result in problems.
@PoTi_96 : It's kind of hazzle to change here change there. I prefer one ROM rather than 2.

I know but the dialer wasnt fixed, now im just running 2.1

I installed asop 2.1 ver b006 last night and now i have about 17 hours of usage. I belive that it is almost a rom for a dayly use. Bugs i experienced so far are camera settinhs giving FC, some minor problems with downloads on build in browser,all fixed with opera. It comes half rooted but can easy root with z4root app, i could not find the gallery but after instaling the app from this forum ( gallery 3d) i am more sattisfied then with mediascape timescape or any other SE program. I find it verry snappy and belive you should try it after a backup with titanium. Another beautifull app is the recovery.menu witch is the best. All the best

Pardon, I have no clue when coming to such things. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The recovery.menu is it a kind of application that help you flash your phone? So I have to keep pressing back when the Sony logo came out to go into recovery mode and install the ASOP ROM? And the Global ROM is to revert back? So I had to install both ROM?
However since stated that it's not possible to call people, how is it possible that the ASOP can be used for daily. I don't mind about the camera since I don't really use it.
P.S I already download the ASOP ROM for the main thread.

So I have to keep pressing back when the Sony logo came out to go into recovery mode ABOUT 5 TIMES
and install the ASOP ROM? YES, AS UPDATE.ZIP
And the Global ROM is to revert back? BACKUP FIRST
So I had to install both ROM? YES, NOW YOU CAN SWITCH BETWEEN
However since stated that it's not possible to call people, how is it possible that the ASOP can be used for daily. WORKS ON LATEST RELEASE

Thank you for your reply. One more question before I start on it. So when you say switch between, when I switch will it remain the same or it will be a completely fresh ROM?
For example I now using ASOP ROM and wan switch to the original ROM and if i decide to go back ASOP, will all settings be gone?

When you restore, you will get back state you were in at backup. Same settings, same apps.

So meaning, I can keep the setting of the current Sony ROM. So if i chage to ASOP and decide to change back I can have the same settings?
And if i decided not to use ASOP anymore, I can just delete both the original and ASOP ROM at my SD card?

You must back up first though.

[Q] Confused

HI ALL!!!! I'M NEW
I'm just confused about what to do. i have a wildfire and i want to cancel some application and totally disable htc sense. To do this , need i to use unrevoked to have root on my phone ??
i'm no an expert but i think about yes. anyway i'm in trouble , i read on this forum that unrevoked 3.22 has a problem . a bug for the led .
now i'm just afraid to root due to this problem.
what i got to do ???!!!
(sorry for english ,i'm italian XD )

Well, you want to remove some apps and to get rid of sense, right
You can install a custom ROM like Cyanogen or OpenFire, that are based on AOSP Android sources, meaning that they are pure Android, no HTC apps or Sense.
Be careful, they still have bugs, check each topic to see what are those bugs.
Also, you can donate to MoDaCo forum and get access to the kitchen and add/remove the apps you don`t want and flash that ROM. - I`ve tried it, and it`s ok, BUT YOU CAN`T REMOVE SENSE.
Or you can just go to settings, applications, manage application, search for HTC Sense and tap on clear defaults. Then press the home button and you can choose the default android launcher.
In order to install custom roms you need to root with Unrevok3d. It`s not hard, you just need to read this twice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824396
The clockwork mod recovery has the bug with the led light only when you recharge the phone while it`s off (completely off, not just the screen.) It shouldn`t bother many people. Hell, I`m don`t eve care about it.
Be careful , by doing this you void your warranty, but if you flash a RUU file you get back the stock rom and loose root and recovery and can use the warranty. - I`m not that sure about this, it`s just what I`ve heard.

so if i root without installin clockwork recovery i will not have the led problem ???

Rooting with unrevoked installs clockwork. You need clockwork to flash custom roms. And lol the bug is useless, I charge my phone when its on anyway.

or you can install a 3rd party home app, like LauncherPro ... etc
http://www.androidtapp.com/tag/custom-android-home-screen/ ....
which will "disable" Sense .. when you set by default the other home screen
..and second ... you can install a "task killer" which will kill or "cancel" that apps what you wants
so in this way you don't need to do any rooting, or using a custom rom
this is a possible opportunity, i think
sry, my english bad
p.s. but a custom rom, like cyangenmod is a better choice

this is what i'm doing now. 2.2 official with launcher pro XD i don't think htc will relase gringerbread, so , now i've got the skills to can take it with a possible future rom XD

you can just go into menu > settings > applications > htc sense then "clear defaults" unless youre using FroYo

Installed Livewallpaper for Legend What about lockscreen?

Hey guys so Ive installed the Live wallpaper hack from XDA i think it was the Rodriquezz rom patch for live wallpapers on the legend..I got it working and everything i was just wondering is there anyway to use it on the lockscreen too? Because when I go to settings to change lockscreen wallpaper i dont see a live wallpaper option as i do with normal wallpaper for the homescreen...
thanks

That's if you have Froyo. Because then, there will be no option to change the lockscreen's wallpaper, and it will use the one you have on your homescreen instead.
It makes sense (hurr not really but sorta pun) to flash a 2.2 ROM instead, because I assume this hack requires you to already have your device rooted.

Well, Im rooted lol I used the tut from paul at modaco, I guess im on froyo? Because i can change the lockscreen wallpaper, i just dont have the option for live wallpaper.

Rooting doesn't automatically give you Froyo. Unless I misread everything you said.
Sorry if I did.

hmm..k lol sorry for my nubness -_- this is the tutorial i used...http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-r4-htc-legend-rooting-guide-now-with-1-31-x/
so what rom am i on right now then? and did you happen to know how to nand unlock and get r/w access?

You're still on the ROM you installed during rooting. It's nothing special, thank goodness it's not Froyo either.
Now you can flash a custom ROM through ROM Manager and enjoy Froyo from there!
EDIT: Oh yeah, installing custom ROMs wipe everything. And there are specific instructions for each ROM too. Look for ROMs and special goodies that you can use with ROM Manager in the Dev section of the Legend's forums.

yea i actually tried Cyanogenmod it was nice but i diddnt like it much, so i rolled back..what else is out there? Im running the stock rom that came with my phone originally now...i have tons of apps and my contacts in it so its gonna be pretty ***tty putting it all back on a new rom

download "App Backup & Reinstall" from the market, reinstalls every app you have with a small backup file. Cache and settings are lost though...
And for your contacts, you van backup them to a Vcard (.vcf file) in Contacts > Menu > Import/Export
Titanium Backup is an option aswell since your device has root acces already.
