Hi guys, I see there are modded rom for A7, dexter, cyanogen, etc. my question is what do you get exactly from the mods? I couldn't find a detailed list of the added functions. all I saw was getting the android market which seems like no big deal when there are so many other markets you can use and so much junk software. there is no mod as far as I can see to fix the touchscreen, or backlight the fixed buttons or move the AC connector, so then what do you get for the risk(bricking) of modding? Not being sarcastic, I really want to know. TIA.

Hello All,
First off, I want to thank everyone whos cooked and added information on these forums.
Also I want to state beforehand that for the past 3 days I have gone through countless pages of threads to try and learn as much as I can on ROMs & the such.... its a lot of info! Thats not so much the problem, as I have a pretty good idea now on how to do it (though haven't decided on a custom ROM yet), but the problem is some of it so scattered you can easily have 20 tabs open and either get confused or something.
I have been unable to find (and if there is forgive me for not searching well enough), a thread, topic, or FAQ which would state where you can get programs (ie. Windows Live/Messenger, Internet Sharing, etc) that some ROMs remove. Thats really what has held me back so far from flashing a new ROM, as I really like some of these, but they might be missing certain things I would need (like messenger, or even maybe 5 fav?) but I can't find exact information on all of this.
Edit: I understand if I want to find a program I can just Google it. But what if I don't know theres this awesome program I have never tried or heard before? Can't google a program I don't know! That's why I ask if there is a thread, site that would list them all, or a good amount. I know there couple threads here and there that display default HTC ones, and maybe some odd others.
If anyone can please help me out, or direct me where I can find more info on this I would be really grateful! I might have future questions from then on but i'll definitely be searching to keep the asking to a minimum.
One other question I do have right now is the Radio version. I know theres a thread on a current version, but I see some ppl already have a version higher than that.. is there a place where you can find the current version always, and also, when u flash ROM, does that update your Radio too.. or is it seperate?
Thank you in advance all who help!
I really do hope to be part of this community.
Well I took the dive (woot!) and HARDSPL my phone succesfully. Just finished flashing the default OEM rom and upgrading to the newest radio as well without any problems thanks to all the info you guys provided.
I can't wait to get home (where I have really bad reception) and see if this truely helped me. Im in the mood now to play with all your ROMs as well (I feel like a kid at christmas).
Update: Flashed Open 7.7 and loving it. just need to get used to this brave new world..
Status:
Play and get used to this!
My only concern, and one i cannot find so far is.. at the moment i have no MyFav program.. if i call my currents fav i had will T-Mobile still know, or do i have to have the myfav program installed on my phone so i don't get my minutes charged for calling them?
New concern is i keep getting a text from "4670" saying WCI 1.1 111 every so often, is that normal when you get this program?
Another question: When I install programs, must they always be installed ON the Device, or can I install them on the Storage Card? If i do will they work fine? (or some u can, some u can't.. and some examples)?
Sorry for all the questions!
I install all my programs to storage card. haven't had any problems there. I deleted myfavs because t-mobile stores your favs on their system, so when you call a fav their system should recognize the number. the myfavs program uses memory is why I deleted it.
the text you are getting I don't know what to tell you on that.
sounds like you have the rest down pretty good
????
How did you delete the my fav program? any assistance would be helpful
Hi All,
I've been playing aroudn for a while flashing various roms, and having a lot of fun with it, but I've got to the point where I want to try and fix some things. Mainly the various force closes, etc I get on some of the bleeding edge roms (like the Hero2.1 for sapphire).
Anyhow, I was wondering how to start on this? It's easy enough getting the stack trace, but a lot of the time the problems are with closed-source apps (e.g. I'd love to tackle fixing "People" on the above rom), so it's not as though you can just find the right spot in the source and fix it.
I guess most of the time it's due to missing, or wrong versions of other libs?
I dunno.
Anyway, if anyone out there would like to get me started with just a few basic pointers, I'm happy to then clear off and do my own thing.
And...if there is already a howto or Wiki page about this, let me know, but I couldn't find one anywhere.

i'm at the same point. i'd really like to start learning more.
Hi all,
I have a Nexus 1, on which I've used Gesture Search for over a year. I love it and, as my new Xoom's an Android device, I have tried to find Gesture Search in the market but I am either missing something really obvious or it's not there.
Any suggestions? I did, by the way, search for this before posting...
Thanks in advance,
Ross
It's definitely not there, I've looked too.
I've also used it for ages with my HTC Desire and find it very useful. I constantly find myself wanting to use it when I'm on my xoom.
There's obviously some compatibility issues with honeycomb. But does anyone know any more?
Is it in development?
Or is there an alternative that will work on honeycomb?
[Q] A MIUI ROM with multi-lingual T9 support? (aka. "I can't find the ROM for me")
Hello everyone.
I keep playing around with my phone, trying all sorts of ROMs. As you can read in my sig, the "main" ROM I use is WinMo6.5 Energy, which, as far as WinMo ROMs go, is pretty darn sweet.
But I'd really REALLY like to give NAND Android a go.
Unfortunately, every version I try seems to have something missing, and I'm having a hard time finding one that's "just right". Especially since the features I'm looking for aren't at all so bizarre I think.
Sense ROMs lack "cleanliness" due to the graphical glitches. I know it's not the chefs fault, but until HTC kindly releases the source code, I think I'd rather stay clear of those.
Typhoon Cyn ROMs are smooth and fast, but the really interesting loader features require me to make a purchase. It's not an expensive application, but I'm a "try before you buy" sort of person. I can't really tell if I'd like to use it unless I keep using it on my phone for a few days first.
And finally, there's MIUI ROMs, which are awesome except for one, main thing: they lack a localized T9 dialer. I'm from Poland, and as you could expect, I've got a bunch of people in my contacts list who have weird letters like Ś or Ł in their names and NOT being able to dial their numbers (EDIT: dial their numbers "quickly" I should add) is a huge problem.
The only thing I found so far is this: http://forums.miuiandroid.com/showthread.php?7898-MOD-Multilanguage-T9-dialer-(ES-RU-GR-PL)
However, this doesn't seem to work: it installs fine, and then... nothing. An earlier version of this mod, which required manual install via recovery, DID enable the T9 dialer, but one of the main settings app would constantly FC afterwards.
There's also a small matter of MIUI ROMs having trouble with the theme manager and no smooth "flip" animation. Both of these are minor complaints however.
So... the question I'm laboriously trying to get to is this: Is there a MIUI ROM for the HD2 which would have a multilingual T9 dialer buil-in? If not, has anyone managed to get that mod working with any recent MIUI ROM on XDA and if so, how? Finally, perhaps some kind soul read my post and thought "ahh, I know exactly what this lad needs"... in which case, please share this knowledge.
Hi Well-Esteemed XDA Developers
May I ask for your expertise in changing the battery icon as well as the color of the toggle buttons in the notification bar up top?
I've already rooted my Note and tried the paid version of ROM Toolbox, but even after rebooting, the battery icon refuses to change. I understand that the toggle widgets might be harder to modify, so I'll be patient with this, hoping someone would find a way around this.
I apologize in advance if this is something that has already been fixed, my last Samsung was the Omnia i908 for Windows Mobile 6, and I've checked other threads specific to the Galaxy Note and nobody has yet brought this up.
Thanks once again XDA for the amazing experience you've bought to my Android experience!
You may need to wait a little while until the devs get their hands on this device. Be sure to check out the "GN Android Development" forum instead of "General" for this kind of modding.
You can use uotkitchen website to do it. Works perfectly on my GN
how did you manage to change the icon... i have kitchenpro but i'm a noob, so i'll be extremely grateful if you could share how to change it
