2.2 on Vibrant Yet?

I want to switch from a N1, but I don't see any custom roms w/ 2.2 yet... Any guess as to an eta? Thanks

They have only just started development on CM6 for the Vibrant and I haven't seen anything about anyone working on 2.2 yet.

Development progress is located: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729364
CM6 is 2.2... and there is never really an ETA, when it's done.. its done.

Yeah they are just slowly starting, as they are finishing up the worlk on the slide still.

Did you read the sticky attached to this sub forum?

always remember that one of cyans rules are to never ask the eta =)

2.2 will be here soon enough. CM6 is in the early stages. Read some of the threads and you'll have your question answered a hundred times over.

I'm sure stock 2.2 will be out before CM6. So, Just wait. I think the phone works just fine on 2.1

Uhm. no? CM6 will be released before stock 2.2
And it doesnt matter if the phone works "fine" on 2.1, it'll work 20000x (okay exaggerated) better because of JIT, Adobe Flash Player and all of the other features added

Just saying that it'll be most likely that CM6 will be out before stock 2.2 gets released since it is rumored to be due September.

As much as i like CM. I think i am going to stick stock now.
I respect the dev. hence why i help. But, i mean it just works. why mess with it. I can wait.

Cause its fascinating, otherwise, whats the purpose of being on these forums? I've been flashing bleeding edge stuff for years!

I dig touch wiz, didn't think I would. Just replaced launcher with adw, and goodnto go. Samsung music app with 5.1 surround and Eq is really neat, love it. Messaging is awesome looking, but if you're texting lots of people, it starts to lag and bad. That's my only complaint here.

Rule number 1, you don't talk about ETAs.
Rule number 2, you do not talk about ETAs!
Rule number 3 questions go in the general question area.
Rule number 4 CM6 will be at the top of the development folder once its good to go, the phone has been in the CM dev's hands for a whole day now, relax, and keep an eye out, I guarantee it'll be waiting for you.

Hasn't it been just over a week since the phone has been out? Patience patience! lol

because thats how you get a thing called progress. can you imagine if everyone in history had that train of thought?

First step is a bootloader for rom backup and restore.
That seems to be done, people say its stable, so after enough people play with that, I'd expect the roms to flow.
I see custom kernels already discussed, so I'd expect new full roms to show up by next weekend.

Your expectations are very high.
I only say this because a custom recovery was never needed for custom roms. You can throw custom roms on the phone with odin. So a custom recovery doesn't mean much.

I disagree. The ease of creating and restoring backups is what most users want before they go flashing any 'ol zip.

New To android, looking for the right path.

So I'm new to android, not new to modding. So if someone can find the patience to set me straight on a few things. Ahem: I would like to keep a simple stock" ish " rom. I would like everything to just work. I would really like it if there was no ads on anything. Overclocked would be nice, but not if it hits the battery bigtime. So, in summary, is there a rom out there that will accomplish this for me failry easy? HTC sense is pretty cool. so that would be a plus. so Rom suggestions, mod suggestions. Very much appreciated. Time with family an gf doesn't leave me much time to my computer an phone tomfoolery.

Firstly Welcome! You have a few choices,there is nfinities stk roms with sense ,LiquidSolstice has stk roms available his are optimized and have alot of the bloat aka sprint crap removed. Look in the hero dev section you will find them,if you can wait i'll shoot you the links .

It's rooted already? if yes then power+home hold home down ater you push power button

Heres a few tips:
1.Read as much as you can,don't understand ask someone will help you.
2.Most important ask your quest. in the proper thread.
3.ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID(a copy of the existing rom,settings and apps on your phone at that moment.)
4.When you read a discussion about flashing a new radio, Remember this: NEVER FLASH A RADIO THAT IS FOR A GSM HERO OR OTHER PHONE ONLY A CDMA HERO!
You will end up with a very expensive paper wieght.
5.Try to do as much searching as possible before you post a question(this should keep you from getting flamed! lol!)
Like I said previously the latest sense roms are Nfinite's Stk .7 based on the sprint 2.31.651.7 update you'll find that here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790889
Nfinite's Stk .2 Rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849024
Try these 2 the stk .2 is nice thats what I run overclocked.
But try either of them and see how they work for you,need anything just shout !

I's just a stock sprint hero, updated to latest sense version. I read I need to roll back to sprint build no. 2.27? I'm currently on build no. 2.32.651.2 The rooting process seems like a long one using command line? The gf's moment was easy cheesy to root. no drop in an flash files for rooting the hero eh ? I"ll take a look at those roms an download. along with htc sync an.....the android sdk I beleive is what I saw.

I really don't know. I don't do anything about them because most of the Devs work or apps are free,so if they get a little back from the ads is ok with me. I think there is an app on the market that will block most ads.

Rom Manager

Does it work on the Atrix without messing anything up?
I just want to backup the stock ROM with all my apps and settings.
Thanks

I don't believe ROM Manager supports the Atrix 4G at the moment.

do you know of any other app that will do a full rom backup like rom manager does?

I would just wait until ROM Manager supports it.
After all, the phone is less than a week old.
I see way too many people on these forums with zero patience.

its not a question of patience.
i was just wondering if there was a different app
it was very uncalled for the way you responded insinuating that i dont have patience
im not here going "hey i want this now...y the hell isnt rom manager supported yet?!?!"
it was just a mere question as to whether or not there was another app that could do full backups

I agree
I also have the atrix and was wondering the same thing. But i agree with you its not like im griping if it doesnt just would like to know if something supports it. there are alot more devs then just the people of rom manager. And it was rooted before release so it is possible that it could be done. So chill out with you cockiness/rudeness!!

You can back up your apps and whatnot using titanium backup or similar programs. It's not the same as ROM Manager/CWM but it'll get you by for now

Has there been anymore word on ROM Manager on the Atrix? I was curious as to if I could use it to install Gingerblur RC1.
But wait, Gingerblur isn't a "real" ROM anyway so that wouldn't work, huh?
Man I wish I hadn't paid for that before my brain kicked in.
Sorry for my recognized ignorance.....

[Q] i don't know if i can root

i want to root my evo 4g, i have updated the software version to 4.24.651.1, the android version is 2.3.3, i see in the threads about ota's and other stuff that i have no knowledge of yet as i've never done this before, is there a thread explaining all of this and can i root with the new software update? or can i go back to old version of software? thank you anybody and all who help, i appreciate it.

Until HTC unlocks the bootloader, or someone finds an exploit, if you're s-on...you're out of luck...for now.

That sux, i was really looking forward to trying it out. Thank You Mattykinsx.

Have no fear, root will come one way or another.
It always does, for HTC phones anyway.

Is anyone actively working on it? I'm sure someone must be. And if so, how close are they? Wife wants her phone rooted, but it's updated to the latest. Unfortunately we didn't know beforehand that it would be a bad move.

So I was reading on the 3D forums and found this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175668&page=4
Read it carefully. There is a post in that thread about a new tool that will work with any hboot.
Also saw this in the post on page 3.
"This got out before we could make a formal announcement, but unrevoked and alpharev will be merging sometime in the near future. We've always been very close, but we will be officially merging..."soon"."

Could be a big deal. Myn has said he's going to put out an app that automatically exploits some sort of temporary root hack when you reboot the phone. I imagine this would allow for root apps to work, but I don't think it'll allow for ROM flashing.

heck yeah if this works with all hboots, then game on!!!

If I read whats in the thread that the OP posted they say it works with all current hboots. So with them saying that it should work for the locked down Evo4g. I hope to heck it does, no root sux. Sounds like hopefully we won't have to wait much longer tho.

Heres my question that hopefully someone with more dev skills can answer... Supposedly sometime September-ish HTC is going to release an unlocked bootloader for the Evo 3d. Could someone utilize that to discover a flaw in the non-unlocked bootloaders and develop a root method for the Evo's in case this new tool doesnt cut the cake?

Whats with the 1.30 hboot? mines only 1.16

theres already a thread with the progrss to date on this, its a strong possibility we might see the root soon, just hold on to your panties and let this guys finish their work, already an exploit has been found with a temp root, although its not easily reproduced, but its a hole

Great news, I hope those guys do get it done. I'll contribute some cash to them for their hard work..

I for one am praying to the Evo Dev's and Gods out there that a Root is coming soon. I'm sick of my Evo and the bloatware.. almost wish I wouldnt have used my upgrade from LG Optimus S to Evo 4g.. Didnt really care for the Evo3d as it hurt my eyes after a bit, and even though the screen size says they are the same 4.3" I still think the Evo 4g has a better screen..

I'm pretty much in the same boat as y'all the waiting game is killing me... i've been trying to find some utoob vids on different ROMs so that as soon as i'm able to ROOT i already have an idea of what ROMs i wanna try out... how bout y'all any suggestions?
