systemsound after using navi
Hey, love Inroid! Thx!
One thing: after using navi, the systemsound stays on 100%, how can I change that the sound stays the same as before using the navi?
Maybe I missed some posts on this, sorry for that..

Indroid was the 1st custom rom i flashed on my G3. Before this I was very new to all these. I am only waiting for a simple way to partition and use Indriod FSC then I will post in this thread some troubleshoot for newbies which I felt during Indroid ROM flashing. hope that will make life easier for those who want to flash it but worried about errors.
Can i overclock my indroid 4.2 ?? And are there some risks? will my telephone die?

navigation app is what you mean right..
Will check on this and see if anything can be done..
Btw you can also reduce system sound with the volume key on the left side right? Doesn't that work?

you haven't partition'd yet?
Use minitool and partition your sd..I could make a video on using ext4 as data on indroid if you want me to?
I'd show from start in the video if you'll want it.
And Indroid FSC is used after making an ext partition on sd not before.

Risks:-
Phone Slow down(only some times not all the time)
Heat
Pros:-
Faster UI
Smoother Gaming
Voodoo Sound
1% Battery MOD
and a lot more
These above are the advantages of FuguMod Kernel..
You can get the latest 2.4(B3) from here.
Can u please make a video on how to parition and how does the change look in g3 mean does phone memory increase in size? I did everything my just just keeps vibrating after the partition and reboot.Than i remove the sd card than only phone boots dont know what i am doing wrong!

ok i will when i get time..
I installed indroid 4.2. Everything seems to work, except the gps and usb-connection.
It takes a very long time to get a fix on gps. When i finally get get a fix and i give a location in google navigation, it crashes.
About the usb-connection, the first time i connected to my pc, it worked. But after that, it doesn't work anymore. When i connect my sg3 to my pc, it thrils ones and that's it.
Any ideas?

1% battery mod will show batter from 1 to 100 not as 10,20,30..
Battery might go less with oc version..But phone wont die.
Slight warmth can we felt while playing for longer times.

as of now its just over clocked to 800Mhz so i recommended to stick with 667Mhz version ie standard version.
3d gallery not working?
If you have updated the kernel to beta 3 then stick to it no need to reflash

UPDATED: Saturday, February, 25th 2012
DISCLAMER:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE IF YOU FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: THOSE INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE MENTIONED ARE WHAT WORKED FOR ME AND OTHER USERS> and when you read this thread,dont just read half or parts of it, read it properly, form start to finish!Hi there dear reader welcome to my guide with new questions new roms and much much more things. It's The latest guide to roms and mods for the x8!!1. we do not accept trolling here. i do not want a flame war here.
2. these mainly benefits me and other rom testers ect.
3.click here for my FAQ that gets updated every week
right onto the guide iitself.
RootingRooting your phone is what you need to do before you install custom roms, modules, and kernels. Rooting means you have superuser access to your phone. a bit like a special admin on a computer. having superuser rights means you also have the power to change you system stuff, delete a system app, add modifications and so on. if you wish to root your phone then click here
great, you'v rooted your phone i hope, now for the fun stuff...
Basebands and kernelsI know that many people have baseband 006. you cant install roms with your baseband at 006 so you will have to change it to 015. unless your phone already has 015. for the baseband collection thread clickthis
i have also found a thread with a custom kernel. its linuxdx by doixanh. for the thread click here
Also a guide on building a kernel. click here for that
Roms:welcome to the rom part of this thread. custom roms are custom android versions, that can easily be modified and customized, they are more than just your average android. most of them are based on cm6 or cm7 or cm6 mini.
here are a couple of gingerbread roms i have found and tested.
gingerbread roms:Gingercruzt by frogy furnetal.
Gingerdx by doixanh
minicm7
froyo roms
froyo pro by XDA-RK
Froyobread by doixanh
sense roms by ratch
how to install custom roms:Now, custom roms are actually quite easy to install. as long as you follow the instructions bellow.
1. copy the rom to your sd card. no subfolder just the normal folder on its own on the sdcard.
2.boot into xrecovery (for more about recoveries click here, its my FAQ you will find info there
3.go to install custom .zip
it should come up with a load of folders you have on your phone. go to the bottom where you will find your rom and choose that.
4. install it and wait...
5. once installed, do a full wipe before rebooting or you could get stuck on rebooting.
5. your done!
Modifications.Right now on to the mods.
some people want dual touch or pinch to zoom for their phones.
well, guess what, you can.
if you have cypress chip on your phone (real dual touch) click here
If you have synaptics (fake pinch to zoom) then click here
If you want to overclock your phone then click here
If you want linuxdx then click Here
how to install linuxdx (and other kernels)I do have a thread about bootloaders and kernels but since i put it in my modifactions section i decided to put a TuT:
grab flashtool 2.9.1 (hard to get hold of but it is the only flashtool that works with flashing kernels, i do have it and i have flashed linuxdx v004 and alfs kernel v05 so i will load up the download file for flashtool 2.9.1)(click here to download flashtool 2.9.1 move linuxdx v004 .ftf to flashootl/firmwares
and open x10flashtool (works with x8 dont worry) click flash and choose file. then follow the onscreen instructions... (plug in x8 whilst holding back button, wait for a few minutes as some coding will show up on the computer screen, then it will say its done and you can disconnect your phone) once completed rebbot phone and enjoy!!!YOU MUST HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER TO LOAD CUSTOM KERNELS!
Recently asked questions!
Hello guys! i decided to update my thread and tell you about more recently asked questions:
How to unlock bootloader:
Answer: There is this thing called search bar, use it because there is more than just 2 threads about unlocking bootloader, actually there is a about 5
Why do i get a hard brick after unlocking my phones bootloader?
Answer: Check your date on the back of the phone: It should have a date such as 11w28 etc. If it is 11w32 and above, then stay away from the bootloader, it will only end up in tears. Many threads about this too, use the search button
Can we run IOS on our x8?
Answer: Are you crazy? check my post here for more. If your thinking of porting it or anything (not that it will ever happen )
if you have anymore things you want me to add, then post a reply saying so.
also check out my FAQ
this will be updated every week.
Also, how did you get to this thread? via my sig, or via searching the forums or searching google?

Damn you Google...
Just so people interested in compiling the sources know :
I wanted to compile sources.
repo did not work : you CAN'T use last python3, downgrade to python 2.7
make : you CAN'T use last make 2.82, downgrade to make 2.81
Java you CAN'T use last openjdk7, you CAN'T use opejdk6, downgrade to sun's java 6 SE
Perl : you CAN'T use perl 5.14, downgrade to perl 5.12...
maybe more, but I can't tell you, because I gave up from there....
come on... what the hell Google ?!

Well looks like CM9 will be out in about 2 months..hope it gets ported to our device soon after that.

Maybe you could ask him for directions?
Because MarcellusBE tried but couldn't boot, if he could boot it, maybe he could also delete some of the bugs (since he had to do the same for CM&).
Also another question from me, did he port from Sources or from the SDK?
Because the things you explained reminded me of the ICS SDK port (No touchscreen working, no camera or wifi and the changing of the dpi(link to that thread here))

Which overclock.ko and symsearch.ko are you using? It could be that you have incompatible ones. The Milestone (A853) has the 2.6.32 froyo kernel, but we're stuck with 2.6.29 eclair kernel. In particular symsearch.ko had to be adapted for 2.6.29. The versions on our github have been modified and recompiled for 2.6.29: https://github.com/CyanogenModXT720...sholest/tree/gingerbread/prebuilt/lib/modules (note that overclock.ko requires a working symsearch.ko is loaded first)
I installed it and it is pretty good at the first look. You can install it using the xt720 bootfix, the only thing missing are gapps and i tried installing them after, but it doesnt work for me. Average RAM is about 50-60 M and it runs pretty smooth, hope to see more from you soon
EDIT: After reboot the gapps appeared

It works with STR_U2_04.1E.1 too (i successfully flash it in the end...) I think it will work with all the stock sbf.
If someone can try with the mod one (i have less than 2Mo free in the system rom...)
And i use the first bootfix for motoroi rom (and i clear all before and after the flash)
I had to reinstall gapps cause it can t sync my contact with out it (it only sync gmail and drive)
I had a little chinese everywhere in the beginning but after 2reboot all were gone. The only thing is that the OK is on the right and the cancel is on the left (not a big deal but it surprise at the beginning...)
App2ext works fine; the playstore too; and youtube too
I can t take pics with the camera (it launch it but don t answer after) edit: i try again and it take a picture but fc just after...
edit2:after a few uninstall (dspmanager; gtalk...) i sucess to take a picture in 8Mo (it was long....) and i film in 720p but i can t open it (and when i take the film it was very slow about 1image/s...)
I don t try a lot for the moment but it seems to be a really good one!!!
I think i will try it for the week end...
Thanks a lot lwxddlqkillapp

Hi everyone,
I recently flashed cyanogenmod 7.2 onto my HTC Wildfire and it kept restarting for an odd reason, I restored back to SplashMOD and it still has the same problem. I've turned 3G off and it seems to be fine, its just when I turn 3G on
Any help?
Maybe you overclocked your phone at 768MHz.... it isn't very stable

It says my phone needs to be GSM (I'm guessing that means unlocked) which my phone isn't. What is a good radio to flash? and do i need to do it before i flash a rom?
GSM means that it's a standard phone that works in any country. ie: it's not CDMA, which mean that it doesn't need special frequencies from the service provider.

like lo2ay already said GSM ("Global System for Mobile Communications") doesn''t mean "unlocked" and has nothing to do wih it.
But in case you didn't unlock your phone - and I'm not getting you totally wrong - this brings up a much more interesting question: if you don't have an unlocked Wildfire - how the hell have you been able to flash a ROM anyway? I'd guess one of the following might match your situation:
- you have a different phone (not a HTC Wildfire)
- you just thought you're going to flash a ROM but did something else instead
- your Wildfire is unlocked and you don't know it
Are you really serious about what you've done? What tutorial/how to did you use to flash Cyanogen Mod?
And yes: if your phone is a Wildfire (buzz) and not unlocked/rooted you can't flash a new radio because you can't flash anything custom...
I think he was meaning sim unlocked?

oh yes - I've been thinking about that for a few seconds - you're probably right.
Regarding my own little problem which I've also discussed a bit desperately here: may I ask you what you would try next with all your Wildfire experience? (I've never been really convinced that the V6 Supercharger or 3G Turbocharger scripts could be involved but after reading that a few people got that bootloop prob with 3G after messing around with them it looked so obvious).
I feared to investigate any further because I had the feeling it could cost a lot of time... so when I went on to solve the problem it turned out I was right with that: I've flashed the 7.2 stable today - with doing just a dalvik and system wipe without success and then a complete wipe - no success either.
I fear to revert back to a true stock rom (including s-off again) as it took me a lot of sweat to do that initially (that has been just in the middle of transformation from revolutionary to alpha rev with all the goldcard stuff etc.) - too make it short: what would you do?
Thx in advance for some input on this...
I would first check my mtd size settings! If you dont know what custom mtds are it means your not using them,if you are using them then you must remember to flash the bravo boot file straight after your rom flash before booting! If this is not your issue then i would do a clean flash of a rom. I.e wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, go into mount and storage and do all available wipes NOT sdcard, then flash the rom. If all fails then i would 1st try a reflash of a custom recovery and repeat previous clean rom flash. Now if it still didnt play ball i would scream at it, throw it at a wall then regret that step and move on to ruu.exe and start afresh lol.
On the v6 etc etc issue. Ive publicly said many times how much i hate this script and others like it! But this is only my opinion as i have had issues using them too in the early days. An app i use still to this day which gives you complete control over the effects of these scripts is autokiller memory optimizer. I will link to a thread i made some time ago to explain this app which can be found on the market.
This again can and most likely will be argued or debated as to its function but in my experience its a must have when used correct.

Sorry i only just noticed your link so my advice was for current op issue. However yes i believe these scripts are the cause im afraid. Still i would give you the same advice again as above or try a clean sense rom flash.
You can get safe ruu flashable zips too so as not to lose security or root so try these before going the exe route.
Hope you get a fix.

Yep I'm using custom mtds - that's exactly the reason I don't like to flash once in a week LOL. I'm aware of flashing the bravo boot directly before rebooting.
I.e wipe system, cache, dalvik cache

done
go into mount and storage and do all available wipes NOT sdcard

for that I'm sure I didn't do all (because I've done the factory reset anyways) but perhaps it helps to do it explicitly...? shouldn't hurt

ummh, never done that before - can you point me to a tut or how to?

yes I know - I've read a few of them I've been satisfied with the script but I'm also quite sure that it depends on too many things if it works good on the phone.

nice, thx, I'll have a look when that sweet old crappy thing will run again LOL
Thx again for quick response -> off to the laboratories now
Nice quote edits, you have way too much time on your hands lol.
For recovery flashing head to development sticky and 3xenos complete wildfire thread has it all mate. I use the terminal emulator method as adb and fastboot dont play well with me.
Lol buddah.
Some users stating a radio flash may fix the bootlooping? Wont harm to try!! Just make sure its a wildfire radio

I know but I've already tried that twice
And no good news: either wiping everything and doing with or without custom mtd didn't do. Immediately when the network icon shows up (on Google accounts login) reboot... - but wait... one more question: what about formatting boot? should i do this, too?
However, I'll try a sense ROM now and the "safe" RUU afterwards - cross fingers...

Format boot..... Yeah why not, i always have.
Really strange this though as you have virtually wiped the phone clean. I thinks you gonna have to ruu it

yup. I've tried to install Rempuzzle - but that hangs around 30 mins - so I will try the custom recovery first...

Its sounds like you got things covered and know what your doing but just in case? You do have sdext partition for flashing rempuzzle yes?

LOL yes but thx for the reminder anyway
Now it's getting really weird... I've just put in a different SIM (out of the family) - different carrier. (the idea came to my mind somehow). Looks like the phone doesn't reboot with that.
If that's true and not by accident - what does that mean now? Usually I'd think about the radio - but I've completely wiped the phone (including a sense install in between) - could this be a hardware problem?
I guess I'll do the RUU thingy anyway. So I'll start to gather information on that.
If anyone has a good suggestion to do that as easy and quick as possible - I'd appreciate any suggestions.
--- EDIT ---
If someone has a suggestion for a small Sense ROM (yeah I know) I'd prefer to do that first...
