Nexus One Root/unroot and space pls help

Ok fellas! Im new to this world of android just bought a newsu one last night Its used and rooted. I installed bunch of apps and after a bit it gave me an alert of low space/memory. Never had this with my x10 . so i was wondering may be its cus o the root if yes? Do u recmnd unrooting to clear space? And in case of unrooting any help /guide would be much appreciated.
Also i saw the update alert ast night fo 2.2.1 but when i tried to update it it wa stuck on a black screen with a android(green guy) and a exclamation mark. so i r/s the phone again and ignore the update anyhelp. please...
Thanks a bunch.

The ROM would effect the lack of space, but having root shouldn't. It more likely the apps though.
Just try moving some apps to your SD (menu> settings> applications> manage applications... sort by size [menu key], then select an app. In each app there's an option to move to SD. Some will move, some won't)
There's plenty of discussions on the update, but it's probably failing because you're not stock...

So what should i do to get the update ..get the phone unroot??

First, decide if you want the update, or if you want a custom ROM...
I've not tried the update, so I can't make any recommendations.

Ok so i got loaded 2 different htc sense roms last night both from here:
http://theunlockr.com/downloads/android-downloads/android-roms/nexus-one-roms/
Both of them were awesome, right now I have the mdaco one, but the there are few problems.
*. Showed still on 2.1 in setting.
*. GPS isn't locking.
*. Bluetooth isnt working.
*. When Im trying to lock the phone by pressing the power button it locks but wont go to sleep(back light is still on).
*. Power button won't work if i try to shutdown/put phone on vibrate/airplane mode/.
so far these are the problems im facing.
Does anyone nows a better stable Sense ROM?? Please advise.. Thanks.

Best Custom ROM to flash?

Hey guys,
Lately the Stock ROM is annoying me, I'm planning on flashing it to a custom ROM - I don't see gingerbread anywhere so I thought why not !
Also, my tab was rooted until something happened and I had to reset it to factory settings, most of the apps (that need root access) work, but titanium backup claims it fails to achieve root.
So Should I re root my tab before flashing a custom ROM?
and of course the question I asked in the title - what would you'll recommend for a custom rom on a GSM tab (I was thinkin overcome)
Cheers
Jackie

Go for overcome rom, works like a charm for me

I'd also reccomend Overcome. Best rom out there IMHO. Until we get data on honeycomb anyway

I also recommend Overcome. It's been brilliant so far.

Sweet, thanks a lot guys.
But can anyome tell me a sure **** way of know if it still has root, because some apps like screen density and market enabler work but titanium backup says "could not gain root" :/

Probably because you mis-pressed the allow button in superuser when first launching titanium.
launch superuser and remove teh titanium entry and next time you load it will ask for su rights again.

Definetly overcome!

I second that. Alterbridge is a first class developer.
And I really miss Rotohammer too.

Thank you very much everyone, I'm thinking I'll get rid of unwanted stuff on my internal SD before I start it - as I found out that conversion to ext4 takes a while - so I'll save time that way also - hopefully if time permits, I'll be flashing my tab soon
Also does anyone know if i could some how get the gingerbread framework to work with the galaxy tab on overcome?

I think its better you hold out at the moment till someone ports it over to the WiFi version

Well its a good idea. Am empty SD card conversion takes 2 minutes. Full one can take upto 20 LOL. Not that I encourage everyone to wipe their cards. I flashed overcome when my tab was fairly new so I had no problems wiping it.

sweet, thanks for the info, also when the ext4 is being converted, is there a progress bar or status? I get paranoid at times when I don't see any progress

My Evo can't boot

This is my first time trying to flash a rom into my Evo 4G , i did it before with my 3D with out problems.
Now I root my phone I got S-OFF Now I did Nand back up or whatever is call, and then I tried to install a rom,
everything went good it install the rom but when I reboot goes to the white screen HTC EVO 4G and stays there for ever!
I restore my phone and try to do it with different rom, I did it and same thing happens, it gets stuck on that screen!
Im trying to follow a little tutorial I found here but they dont explain much or they are old with diffent way to root (I used the new Revolutionary way)
and Im just a noob on this. also Idk if i just start From the begining Im lost! plase help. Thanks

Make sure to wipe everything but your sdcard before you flash the ROM and see how that goes and if you get stuck at the splash screen you could try pulling the battery and going to recovery by holding down volume and power then try to wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Did you partition your sd card that will help it with speed.

Actually the Pyramid ROM with Sense 3.0 is way faster than GB stock. I haven't even installed Launcher Pro Plus yet because I am enjoying the new Sense.

Camera not working (NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA)

Hi Guys, I have serched the forums for my specific problem but came up short... trying this for seconds...
I have a HD2 wich I've installed NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.6 (Kernel: tytung_HWA_r3.4)
I have followed every step and everything works fine, EXCEPT the camera.
The camera app never fully loads and just stops responding with the screen going black as the only result.
"camera not responding, do you want to shut down? cancel or yes"
any tips?
I'm new to this forum so Im not sure what other info I should provide, so here goes.
Version 4.0.4
BaseBand 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
Kernel 2.6.32-ICS_tytung_HWA_r3.4
Mem 420Mb
(The camea works just fine with WP7, WP7.5, Windows Mobile orig)
Help would be much appreciated
//The Major

Just wanted to add that the phone is a EURO international HTC HD2

So noone can help?
Do I have to reinstall everything and hope for the best? Or have i got a broken device??

easiest wat out of problem is to instal different camera app,try cameraZOOM works fine on my hd2 running on same rom but 2.4
or reinstall rom again.
this should realy be posted in the correct thread,you would probably get more accurate
answers from folk running the same rom.
hope this helps.

Ok, I'll try the app approach... I'll reinstalled the orig ROM oand camera works, I installed a GB ROM and the camera works. I REINSTALLED this ROM and camera works up untill the point of where i actually take a pic - then the camera app shuts down... video seems to work..
I cannot post in the ROM thread - because of forum rules...
Thanks for the tip though - I shall try it.

No doesn't really matter what cameraapp I install, the camera shuts down right after shutter (when the pic is written to storage)
with the message "sorry the camera app had to shut down"
Seem to be the GB approach I'll have to go with...

So I went and tried this ROM:
PARANOIDANDROID HD2 v1.5b [TABLET/HYBRID][CM9][A2SD][tytung_HWA_r3.2]
And everything works... how weird - because it seems to be the same kernel?? apart from HWA_r3.2 in this ROM and 3.4 in the ROM that doesn't work... for me it's a headscratcher - I mean I really want the "NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.6 (Kernel: tytung_HWA_r3.4)" but maybe with the 3.2 kernel instead...
how to go about and get that one??

For me everything works just fine. Same ROM same device

I kinda realized that it's not neccesarily the ROM but mor with the Kernel.. I'm trying som different ROMs and different kernels, and the result varies...
Kernel: 2.6.32-ics_tytung_HWA_r3.2
ROM: LeoKing 2.3.6
Camera works but batterydrain is a *****... and endomondo stops working...
will try the PARANOIDANDROID HD2 v1.5b [TABLET/HYBRID][CM9][A2SD][tytung_HWA_r3.2] but flash a different kernel instead of the tytung one!!
I do realize that the phone will never work as good as with a winmobile original RUU.

Hey try out the new version from tytung. Works like a charm.

What I mean is that I have got the NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA_V2.6 working - don't know what I did different to maki the camera work, but it did... so I'm laughing.. But now I'm worried that I'll screw it up by installing a v2.7 ontop.. or wiping and installing...

[Q] telephoney rebooting

Hi, i found a problem in my defy that annoying me ...when making several phone calls or receiving ones suddenly a message appears that thers is a problem with telephony layer and the device has to reboot after 40 sec ...i`m tried to delete the programs that kill applications at expense of ram memory ...installed latest miui build and tried to call a free number about 30 times ..no hanging up happened..but the problem comes after several days of using defy and i tried this build for some hours...i`m very satisfied with Cherry Picks Un-official CM-7.2.0-RC0 when rebooting happens...is there something wrong about the device itself or about the cm7.2 build .or about the base band of the carrier or what? thanks

You have nothing to do is a bug in Motorola RIL.

this problem has appeared lately ..after 1.5 year of having defy ...!!! there must be something new leads to this bug...i think ..it`s a software issue
the same froyo kernel 2.2.2 didn`t change..while the one is kept up to date with new builds of cm.7.2 when the problem appeared 2 months ago ..
yesterday i installed Pikachu Edition 2.Xz the bug disappeared ..when back to cm7.2 with the same trials of dialing the bug back again ..
what do u think?

This bug I think it's a hardware bug.
I installed many Rom's but no change. But you can try with the one that you think is not making you problems but for more than a day you should test it.
For me this bug sometimes(very rare) is not showing for a couple of weeks.

I have a similar problem, except I'm using CM10.

Try wipe cache(stock & custom) as well as dalvik, it has helped others
Make sure correct baseband
If that doesn't work, new SIM card

Trust me, none of this is working.
Wiping caches doesn't help I have wiped them from 10.2012 till now thousands of times.
Baseband change is working for a short period of time.
Changing SIM card not working as I have changed 3 times till now.
Read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691017
Even the stock Rom had three reboot problem the only difference is that is not showing you the message.
The only solution I found is to disable data connection as I have said.

DELETED

i too have just got this problem. i just got a 850/2100 asia retail defy+ mb526, that is distinct from my original 900/2100 europe model visually in that this new one has silver buttons, battery cover slide, and case screws.
anyway, never had the trouble in my old one, yet tried plenty of roms, this new one i dont know if it did it to begin with as i rooted it straight away, but since then ive tried cn & eu / rooted and not sbf's and cm version 7, 9 & 10 & various baseband options but always get the "telephony layer problem, will restart" every 10-20 mins or so.
however on cm9 it doesnt popup and ask to reboot, it just appears to restart the telephony layer, as you see it go off 3g, then show no signal, than reconnect back up again. so i will stick with this rom for now, as it means less down time rebooting.
out of curiosity is there any logs that can be read or generated that would mention the error ?
im sure this has been looked into though, still no solutions ?
