What are the differences between theses roms there are a lot to choose from ?
TIA

to be honest I have no idea, but they will be older stuff, so more than likely wont be has useful to everyday users. But if something happens to your device, you have the stock versions there where you can downlaod and restore to device.
But I am not an android developer and i have never looked into the files, and so I can not tell you what the difference is.

Just saw you post this on twitter too, thanks conflipper

yea me too id hate to lose my root

Already downloading it, haha, I'm running the leaks so no problem with root here

Someone asked me to load it up.
It appears to be the same one that is on this site
THIS SITE
So I would not recommend doing this, cause it looks like it will UNROOT your device.

O well nevermind then, Thanks anyways though con.
I think you should probably rename it to "leak2" or something, as to not confuse anyone

OKay, thanks for the tip it is done, I really wasnt sure what was in the file, so I just took the file name has it was.

Radio's and SLPL

Hi, the title says it all, i just want to know what a radio & a SLPL is? Yes i'm a n00b, and there i have no shame in calling myself that becuase everyone starts from somewhere. Looking forward to learning, so hopefully someone can help me.
I've made this thread because i'm looking to put the 'Ginger Yoshi' rom on the HTC Magic, and it says you will need the new radio,and some SLPL? Also how do you put these on the phone, & where you download it from? Thanks

Welcome to XDA forums! I'm just a fellow member, but I still want to welcome you here
First, do you know if you have a 32A or 32B device? You have posted that you have a Desire S - do you have both that and Magic? Be sure to read everything you can about rooting and Android in general before trying to install new software on it. You see, I managed to brick my Magic without learning enough before action!
Secondly, CyanogenMod Wiki is a great resource for checking out what all these things mean. See it here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Terminology
For example, answers to your question:
SPL
Second Program Loader, in conjunction with the IPL comprise a device's bootloader. Aside from bootstrapping Android, the bootloader also fulfills various diagnostic functions. One of these functions is the manipulation of data in the device's internal flash ram. Depending on the SPL installed, the user might be able to flash signed NBH files, flash nand images, and more. Note that the SPL is installed and operates independently of the Android build that runs atop it. Generally speaking, there are two variants of the SPL: Stock, which is 'locked' and is installed on most devices from the factory, and Engineering, which is 'unlocked' and has to be manually flashed - usually after 'rooting'.

Radio
The cellular radio on the device which needs control software called firmware to control it.

That's an AWESOME price! I bought mine for £150 last summer!
But to the point - have you gotten any useful information out of the CM wiki? XDA Wiki has great articles, too, but it isn't as fulfilling. With ambition and good resources, you'll learn what you need fast and possibly in a week or a few days you can be able to take care of ROM flashing, customizing your phone a lot more deeply than changing a few settings, getting full access (that people should always have) to your phone's all capabilities and even using it as a WiFi box!
Oh, and if you find anything here on the forums useful or good, press the thanks button. You have 5 clicks a day for it. That's a good way to show the poster appreciation so they can see their work worthful

You've got to take into account it's 2 years old now, plus i got it used of ebay ;( - Oh and CyanogenMod have stopped supporting it.

SO do you think it's worth £37, or should i just say no, or sell it off when it comes? I'm confused at the moment, because CyanogenMod have stopped supporting it so i don't know what to do, and also don't know if it's worth the money i paid for it.

I think all your answers may well be here:

Once you've got past root and recovery, you then can change spl/radio according to your desired rom.

IMO it very well is. A good device with decent hardware, especially for the price.
They've stopped supporting it only OFFICIALLY, but there are still many development working on it for Magic, and there are a few good ROMs - like Ginger Yoshi, Carz12's CyanogenMod 7.1 and of course SebastianFM's HTC Sense ROM.
Read, read, read. Mdacompactuser posted a good link

Cheers everyone. Hopefully we can all think that's it a 'mission' & work together on this . Right i've learnt that i can root the phoen via superoneclick, and get the superuser access. Ok next i was going to do everything via rom manager, however now that option is basically gone for me, as CM are not supporting it, but i can flash the recovery from there. I have chosen clockwork recovery, so flashing it via rom manager should be good. I'll have a look at the link you sent me, and hopefully we can regenerate interest in this device again, and make it gain popularity, so we can be on the official forum boards, instead of the low activity devices. That's the plan, everyone up for it? xD>

If you look in this forum alone, you'll find everything you need to carry out a rom update. As Kanttii pointed out its crucial you know what your phone is before you do anything. I'd stick to guides found on this forum as opposed to ones found elsewhere on the web, simply because the people who wrote the guides on here are more likely to respond to specific queries you may have.
I have to say I found mumilovers posts very complete and useful, so personally I'd start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918
and then go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824435
Obviously there are other methods, but like I said before, a guide is much better when the author is around to help when you get something wrong or something doesn't make sense to you.

Thanks the phone will probably come today through the post, so i'll read the threads you sent me links to, and hopefully i'll be able to understand most of it . Thanks again .

Wow i managed to also root my phone without bricking it, and installed clockwork mod recovery. I downloaded set cpu, but i'm on default android 2.2 so i can't overclock it. Now i'm confused about how to put a custom rom on it.
EDIT: Right now i'm a bit scared to install custom rom on it, but i got a question:
In rom manager, when i go to the download section, i see a rom called Roalex, is that a good one?
The top one on that is called: COS-DS-071822011_I1? SO if i click install on that will it be a good one?

Anyone have Nexus 4 Factory Image?

Trying to revert back to factory and the URL for the factory image from Google is coming back with a 404 error not found. If anyone has the Factory Image saved please post a link, thanks
Here's the original link which isn't working on 12-11-12

Really strange honestly O.O
I was just looking to download it yesterday but put it off and now the N4 isn't even listed on their factory image page.
Shows up as listed on their cached page from Dec 10, 2012 09:16:12 GMT

Edit: But as for what you're looking for, a kind gent from this site keeps this/his site updated with backups. http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-4/occam/

Wow it looks like they took them offline! I'm uploading to dropbox, I'll PM you the link soon.

Why would this get locked? He's asking for a file that really should be publicly available. All the other images to the other Nexus devices are available to download freely.

we're bout to get OTA update 4.2.2 i guess *yesssss*

Disagree, the dev forum is for things that people created themselves. This is a file created by google and it really should be available. I don't see a sticky there with the original files, and even if there were they've been pulled from the official google site.
OP: my upload to dropbox failed for some reason. Someone linked a google docs folder with what looks like the right file but I'll shoot you a PM anyway.

REQUEST - A few official ATT 4.4.2 files :)

Hey all -
I was curious if I might ask for a hand with something. I'm looking for a handful of files from the official ATT 4.4.2 update. These files should be accessible without root and are not in any way sensitive or anything like that (I'm looking for csc/apn/build.prop sorts of things) - would someone that has taken the bold leap to official ATT 4.4.2 PM me? I can give you specifics on the files that I am looking for, and walk you through the process of getting them to me if need be.
Thanks much yall

PLEEEEAAAASEEE! lol

Make tweaked as At&t friendly as possible it being an NB4 Tmo based ROM. I'm running it as is now testing but need to compare what's needed for the ATT side without using leaked versions of said files any help would be grossly appreciated

Fair enough. I never took the plunge for the official OTA so I won't be of much help. But... there should be many users out here with what you need.

Yep what wally said - the files I'm looking for are the sort I used to make a 4.3 version of something I put together for TMo play a bit nicer on the ATT side of things. I have most of what I need I believe (though I would still very much like to check it against the "official" stuff) but there are a few I would really like to see the official of before going very far down that road for 4.4.2 is all.

Sent you a PM as well.

Hi again all
I was wondering if any of those official-4.4.2-ATT folks might humor me one more favor...
Similar to what I asked previously, I'm looking for some files on /system - specifically I'm looking for the entirety of the /system/vendor directory. Please PM me for instructions on how to grab this if needed (and if interested of course), and I am incredibly thankful and appreciative for any and all that are willing to help.
Thanks!

Just a thought, but perhaps it may be possible to use http://developer.samsung.com/androi...Emulators-for-Android-Application-Development and load csc, vendor info etc, via the copy of stock 4.4.2 rom courtesy UrDroid here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584994 ? Keeping in mind you are running the sdk via an IDE comparable to Netbeans, IntelliJ, or even Eclipse(cringe shudder...shiver...).

[Q] Official ColorOS download safe?

Hi all, im new to posting questions on forums in general but ive used them for a long time to put custom roms on my phone and in general make the most of it so i can think of no better place to ask this, forgive me if someone else already has.
On the official ColorOS website which most of you may know is now owned or something by Oppo, in their devices list the GT-I9500 is listed there under "other" and i was curious as to whether or not anyone can tell me if its safe to use or not?
Any help appreciated, thank you in advance.
Unfortunatly i cant post links due to the fact im new to the forum, so goto coloros .com and use translate

sure it is. otherwise why do they list it ?
if you wanna know why it's "other" , it's just because they are not OPPO phones.
