i upgraded and it worked fine - G2 and Desire Z General

hey guys,
last night about 3:30am i finally s-off and i got the rom to go onto my sdcard. i downloaded the free rom manager followed the steps on youtube. and i can really say it really works the new htc sense version. now i have a htc g2 and i love the rom it has gingerbread 2.3.3 and lots of great features. also i let me sign up to download the customs skins and wallpapers and lockscreens. it runs great. the only small problem is that when i make a phone call the other party hears an echo. and i cant use the voice activation. lets say i want to use the gps and i want to speak in my direccion like i always did on my htc g2. it doesnt work. facebook twitter all the good stuff works on this roms. this rom is the 1.0.0 version i got it from this website and its on my sd card i want to remove it to leave some room for music. i am going to keep it on for a while to see. i went and got all my games back from android market. and gps still works i can access the wifi here at the house i can make calls. lots of great features.

congrats...now you be careful not to become a flashaholic

Haha, just yesterday I flashed my first ROM, then tried a couple of others and had to restore my original backup at one point too so I understand the flashoholic term

copilot code cannot be loaded by the system (???)

Hi,
I have a strange problem I was using copilot and it was working good. After upgrading to 1.6 firmware I decided to format android and clean it from some apps.
I installed again copilot and it went well, but when I load it it says
"copilot code cannot be loaded by the system" and it doesn't load anymore.
It is very strange to me.
Any idea?

1.6 broke Copilot. You'll have to wait for copilot to come up with a fix for it.
Yeah same happened to me, 1.6 broke it :-(
Works fine here....
Are you using the latest version of copilot?
Legit version that you bought from market?
copilot works here on cyanogens latest. or at least, it's a laggy, slow, almost-as-good-as-a-standalone-gps app. i aquired mine from alternative sources, and realized it wasn't anywhere near a regular standalone gps unit. since then i've dumped it. nice interface and all, but just too much lag.
google maps is decent enough for me on the road. i mean, i can make a block if i miss a turn or whatever.
Laggy? You just gotta wait a minute after it starts up in order for the system to stabilize. Copilot is *big*, so the CPU goes nuts on initial startup when other processes get blown out of memory and such.
As for standalone GPS's.... well, my GF's tomtom wanted to send us on a retarded route, so I started up copilot and it took a beeline straight to the objective. If you ask me, its WAY WAY better.
And google maps for navigation? About as horrible as it gets. Miss a turn and you're screwed. Copilot reroutes automatically as needed. Copilot also reroutes around bad stuff (like traffic jams). Learn how to use it and its great.

Nope I have CoPilot_v8.0.0.327-kfc2.0 version.
Go buy it.
anyone got a fix for this ? One of the main reasons I went for the HERO is to have a GPS SatVan unit with it... Can anyone suggest a good free alternative ? I find the font in Google Maps too small to make it a vaible option.

The latest version of copilot works fine with all versions of android up to and including 2.1.
I am a paid customer of copilot. for that reason i can say these things. their customer support sucks.
i purchased copilot while using a CM rom in sept 09. everytime i updated my version, i would have to re-download from the market. no biggie. same thing with docs to go, my backup, and other paid apps. i understand their concerns of pirated software. well, one day i decided to try some of the other roms as well as try danger spl, etc. i installed dwang. not a bad rom. i tried to re-download my copilot app... and my troubles began.
it would fail on download each time. never even loading 1% of the app. went back to cyan. still no good. i then went through each and every version released since sept. 09 to see if that would help. nope. i even unrooted my phone! still no good. during this time i searched every FAQ on copilots mother company's site. the one relevant answer i found was that you are supposed to unregister your software before moving to another phone. i guess the other rom registered with their system as another phone. well after a complete wipe, reformatting my sdcard, new rom, etc., i couldnot unregister the program. i tried for a month solid trading respectfull comments with their support guy. respectfull until he treated me like an idiot and made a few snide remarks. anyway... i finally accepted the fact that they were in no way going to give me a copy of the apk. so, i tried a copy from a site i found. i followed the instructions they had on the site, except were they said use some pirate license, etc., i used my authentic information. a short time later, i had my program back.
so, the moral of this story is this: if your legit and need support, you will get half @$$ed support from them. if you are legit, follow the instructions provided on some of the pirate sites WITH YOUR AUTHENTIC INFORMATION and you can get your stuff back up and running. had the jerk support guy just sent me the apk after confirming that i was a paid customer, and told me how to install it, i would have had mine up and running a month earlier.
i have had better support with 1 and 2 dollar app developers than these guys. pathetic.
oh, a big kicker. i sent the guy screenshots of me trying to download the software. he had the audacity to tell me my problems were caused by me using a non oem rom and that google doesnt allow that. what a putz. after i informed him of the fact i had been on the same non oem rom when i purchased the app, the theory of open source, and the fact that my rom was developed with the same sdk that they used to develop their program, and that google fully supports developers, he never responded to me. i then informed him of the fact that i reactivated my legit program using pirates instructions.
no wonder why their ranking in the market place is going down drasticly.

i know this story time and time again, these companies/music/film/tomtom paid for it never worked. industry etc etc create these these situations then try and use screwy laws to persecute people. its not new and it is a reflection of how weak we are as a society. imo

Blah blah blah.... copilot works fine and this is NOT a copilot/alk support issue that you are talking about... it is an ANDROID MARKET issue.
Changing the ROM does NOT require you to unregister the program. It registers against your phone's IMEI, which is constant REGARDLESS of SPL/Radio/ROM/whatever.
There was one version that had some registration problems back a couple of versions, I think they revamped the registration procedure and broke it -- it was replaced fairly quickly. The latest one works again and is actually fully compatible with 2.2.
And FYI: Asking them nicely *does* yield a copy of certain older versions. They don't keep around copies of every version known -- just the "major stable" versions, like 606.

[Q] Flashed Froyo on MT3G 1.2; a couple of concerns

I finally took the plunge and rooted/loaded a new ROM on my wife's phone. Everything went smoothly and I figured that the best/easiest choice for a new ROM would be the CyanogenMod ROM 6.0 that just came out.
Since I loaded the new ROM, I've noticed a few things that I hope someone can help me fix.
First, one of the main reasons that I wanted to load the ROM is so I could get rid of that Amazon Mp3 app. The Froyo ROM I installed still had it
Also, I've noticed that when I try and rotate the screen, it takes several seconds (some times close to a minute) to actually rotate. This mainly happens right when I unlock the phone.
My wife says that the option to have separate tones play when an e-mail comes in vs an SMS has gone away. I haven't played with it, so IDK about this. She just wants to know if the message received was an email or a text.
There were some other things, but I don't remember what they were, so if I remember I'll post. But those are the big ones. If there is anything I can do to fix them, let me know please! Also, if there is a better, smoother, faster ROM for MT3G 1.2 than the CYGN 6.0, I wouldn't be opposed to reflashing.
Thank you for any help!

Let's start off by moving this to General.
The best way to remove a system app (Yes, Amazon MP3 is considered a system app) is by installing Titanium Backup and using that app to remove any system app that you don't want installed. I used it recently to remove Street View (Street.apk) and I was able to install the newest version from Market after a reboot.
There should be no reason why it would take any more than a couple of seconds to rotate your home screen. How many widgets and shortcuts do you have? Try locking the Launcher app to memory. That may help.
SMS notification:
SMS app, Settings, check Notifications, Notification Settings, Select Ringtone
Gmail notification:
Gmail, Settings, check Email notifications, Select ringtone
Email notification:
Email, Settings, check Email notifications, Select ringtone
Thank you! Sorry for posting in wrong forum. I debated General and Android... should have gone General!
As per the homescreen, I believe she only has 2 widgets: Analog Clock and some task killer widget. IDK if the task killer widget is the root of the problem, but I will have her remove it and see if that fixes it. I also don't know how to check if it is using a lot of system resources. Is there some kind of Taskmgr app that will tell me if that app is a resource hog?
Thank you for your response!
That Task Killer Widget. Oh My, that is one resource hogger. I tried it on my Tilt with Froyo ... it hogged up badly . I gave up, and got me a new myTouch 3G 1.2 off ebay.
Ok, I got the sound thing all working (really easy. Should have looked b4 I asked) But the rotation is still really slow
I was given a Droid to help develop a mobile application recently, and even though it has similar specs to the MT3G, and the same OS version, there is not lag in the screen rotation. I've installed most of the same apps on the Droid and still there is no lag.
Is there something else that could be causing the lag? Any thoughts?
Thanks
Have you uninstalled task killer yet? they actually do way more harm than good.
Froyo on Mt3g 1.2?
Correct me if I'm wrong, please, but I thought the only Froyo images for MT3g 1.2 were buggy at best and didn't support wifi or camera, among other things.
A guy I work with just put Froyo on his G1 and says it works faster than Eclair. I want in on that action!
As a MT3G user, I've found that the 6.0 Rom from CY is horrible with a Mytouch sadly. It's the rom not agree'ing with the Mytouch that is the problem, not the phone.
I'd suggest the 6.1 RC1 Mod from Cy, or this linked Rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814142
I've had no problem with the linked rom working for me. I had some minor issues with the RC1 not recieving all my texts, though honestly I upgraded my radio at the same time as changing over to the new Rom, so I'm not sure if it was the ROM or the Radio.

ROM 3.14

I read in another forum that the official release will be another week or so due to some tweaking they want to do to the ROM.
I don't know if this is accurate or not (and I do not have alink to the forum where I read this...I read too many forums), but I think I may wait for the official release.

when 2.13 was leaked it was exactly the same as the one that was released. I'm guessing this will be the same deal. Doesn't hurt to wait though.
3.14 is amazingly stable in my opinion...loads faster than 2.13 to boot!
I didn't wait.
I've been pleasantly surprised by how stable it's been. I've had maybe one or two freezes since the install and that was on day one. Since then it's been rock solid. Even the HTC messaging has been lag free.
It will be some time before I think about switching back to custom ROMs. Although I do miss all those nice features that nrgz has in his builds...
I'll probably install the official release if they've made any tweaks.
I love reading this and am not a patient man, but on the tmo forum (I finally figured out where I read it) they note puling it back for a few more tweaks.
probably bs, but who knows.
I know I should just dicer in with a link from here as I did last time, but I just did a fresh wipe and reinstall a few weeks back due to exchange server policy enforcement and subsequent lock out and thought maybe to wait...just in case.
thanks for the kind responses though!
There is a major flaw. my head phones do not work with this rom. i tested it twice and then had to go back to retail to confirm that my head phone did not become defective. im sure they will review and fix this issue. the speed is the same i can confirm. it needs some more tweaks none the less.
3.14 has been working fine so far. However, my lock screen picture is now stretched. It's driving me insane!!
Has anyone else had this problem? Could it be happening because of something other than the new rom update?
Does anyone know how to adjust lock screen pictures? I can't seem to find any options.
How do you install the .exe file?
What .exe file? The ROM itself? You connect your phone via USB to your computer, let it sync, then run the .exe from your computer to install the ROM on your phone. Read the stickies for exact instructions.

maybe something was wrong apart from the rom, because both stock and my custom roms worked fine... i listen to audi via headphones twice a day every single day... and my headphones work
the rom is a little faster and there are new GUI designs
when i used it as a custom rom, i had no issues. but the moment i used xmoo version of 3.14 i would always get the same issue. i connect head phones and i dont hear anyone talking via phone calls. also for some reason, they are always on speaker phone even if the option is not enable.
can you please link me the version of rom you are using?

God what a huge improvement everything is. I unplugged it from power last night around midnight and left it next to my bed while I slept. With WiFi on. It's now 10 hours later, I've toyed with it for about an hour, and the battery is at 90%.
Unfortunately, HTC Messaging + Swype doesn't appear to be a lot better. Maybe a little, in terms of the initial lag when replying to a msg. Also, when a new msg comes in and you hit the message tab, the thumbnail isn't always the current msg.
Emails look a TON different. Much smaller text = YAY!
Knucklehead noobie here... Where do I get the updated ROM from? Thanks.
Does flashing a new ROM delete all your text messages and stuff?
ranestari, yes it does.
However, just sign up for the Microsoft MyPhone thing (free, and if you already have a live account, you're good to go.) The MyPhone app is in your start menu.
It will back up (sync) all of your texts and pics to their online space, only accessible by you (http://myphone.microsoft.com)
When you flash the rom, just launch the MyPhone app again, log in etc... and it will sync all your texts back to your phone.
There are third party sync options out there, but I've never seen the point.
After flashing 3.14 to my HTC HD2, Microsoft My Phone no longer can synchronize with my computer. It just gets stuck at Authenticating User.
Anybody else have this problem?
Microsoft MyPhone doesn't sync with your computer. It syncs to the cloud (internet). Just put in your live, msn, hotmail or whatever account you configured it with before you flashed, and it should resync.

Can you elaborate on this? My main frustration with the current rom is the stupid HTC messaging client with swype. I absolutely despise this thing and I tried disabling it and going back to the old windows messaging but that didn't go too well (unread counter never resets.. OMFG so frustrating!). My only hope is that they fix this crap in the new rom.
Is the lag when loading texts still ridiculous? Is it at least somewhat better? Why haven't they figured this out, this is just pure crazy in my opinion. A company of that magnitude can't figure out how to fix one of the most basic applications in the phone. this is absurd.
I personally HATE Swype and disable it evertime I flash to a new ROM or come in contact with someone thats got an HD2 with it enabled, but what I can say is that while HTC Messageing in the new ROM is "faster" its also just as slow. What I mean is that (for me anyways) it no longer lags when I get a new text, but its just as slow to load a thread if it has any ammount of messages in it. Personally I don't find HTC Messageing to be all that bad if you just delete your threads every now and then, but thats just me.

UK newbie with Desire Rom

Hi Guys, sorry for posting up - but I tried and tried searching, and I cant post in the dev forum..
First up - Had my UK HD2 for about a year, got fed up with hardly any updates and naff apps, so.. not listerning to that little voice in your head that says.. DONT DO IT!.. I researched and finally flashed the rom.
Everything went well.. (good job got a year left on contract!) - desire rom is up and running. Taken me a few days to work out what apps where causing me probs, but mostly its running very well. Finds my orange network.. works on wifi - its all good.
One prob I do have.. everytime I use a GPS program I get a 'freeze', google maps is quite important to me as I do a fair bit of travelling..
(its not a program thing - its the GPS) - tried many different GPS proggies.
So.. does anyone know if:
1) There's a patch or something to fix it?
2) If there's an update to the rom as its a few months old
([30.DEC.10][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM)
3) How do I disable the ad's
.. other than that, its lovely!
Got angry birds to work by copying to the phone ram, stops the freezing.
One more question.. I downloaded an explorer app to access my home network NAS, works well - but some of the movies are in DIVX or WMV format and wont stream or play - any free suggestions?
Lovin it, big thankyou to everyone that contributed to me having the phone I always wanted.. Beer donation WILL be forthcoming, once I've got these probs solved.
Try the fix posted in the thread below, "instantaneous GPS fix)
Try adfree from market to stop ads.
I hear RockPlayer is good for video files.
If above don't work, install a more recent android build
Hope this helps
