Hey everyone.
I recently rooted my Hero GSM phone and tried to play around with some Custom Roms.. I'm currently running FroydVillain with a 691 kernel and I like it a lot, but want to know if there's any other Roms running smoother on the Hero packing Froyo..
I used to have the official eclair (2.1) with launcherpro installed, but wanted to try Froyo out because I heard that it runs 450 % faster than eclair. And since I went over to Custom Roms my batterytime has been lowered significantly..
Also if anyone could tell me what RADIO's are I would be very happy
Sorry for all the questions, but I have just one more..does updating the recovery software help on performance? I have an old version I think.. can anyone please link the newest?
I find the market of available Roms so large and wanted to know if anyone could recommend some Roms and include some links on where to get..
Froyo prefered since I just got used to how it works.
Thanks in advance

Latest Recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
The radio I recommend is the latest GSM one at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?307-radio-roms-download-links
Are you using latest Froyd, as we've got reports of 2 full days of battery life.
But 450% is an exaggeration, as it's based on a nexus 1 without vs. with JIT. You should get > 5 Mflops though in linpack using froyo.
Regarding the question in the title. You could search around here a little on Q&A since it has been asked a lot of times But mostly you'll get the answer that it's different from person to person and everyone has their favourite ROM for instance my favourite ROM is Cronos (anything) but I'm guessing pulser_g2's would be VillainROM (LOL)
Lol. Yeah it depends on what you want. I mentioned Froyd as you're on it already, but sense 2.1 roms do still exist, though you might try disappointed with performance.
I used a sense rom recently and had to remove it as I couldn't bear the slowness, even with oc.
But yeah, search is your friend. Decide what you want, and you'll find it here.
Thanks for the links.
Yeah well, I spent almost an hour reading about different Roms here and there and I see that it's kinda up to one self what you like about the different Roms. I've been very happy with FroydVillain so far, but I guess I should go ahead and give some of the others a try.
I've just backed up my current phone settings with "Titanium Backup" but is this enough if I decide to try a new Rom and want to go back later on? or should I do a nandroid backup?
And again when I flash over the new recovery.img.. Do I need to backup anything beforehand?
My Froyd version is the latest and I've kept on updating whenever I saw new updates. And yeah, two days is in my opinion not much. Beforehand, on the official 2.1, I could easely tweak 4-5 days out of my standard Hero battery, but I guess this has something to do with the kernel?
Sorry.. I'm really a newbie on this

If you want to go back you need a nandroid backup yes. If your talking about updating your recovery image (lol I'm guessing) no you don't. Just flash it. And the battery has something (everything ) to do with the kernel but if you want better battery set you min freq of your CPU lower or you can lower the max freq.
I see..
Thank you very much for answering.
I have just one minor problem..
How the heck do I flash over the recovery image? Don't I use the FlashRec-thingy? Might have deleted it at some point :S

I reccomend you flashing Amon-RA. There is a guide in his thread on how to flash it But if you want the ultimate easy noob thing you can download ROM manager from the market which will alow you to download and flash a pretty descent recovery in one click
Yeah.. Flashing Amon-RA is what I'm trying to. It seems I have the 1.5.2 version installed and I just downloaded the 1.7.0 one..
The first time I flashed "Amon-RA" did it with the help of a program called FlashRec. I followed the guide on theunlockr.com and I now end up with a message: "Backup FAILED: Could not run command." when I try to "Backup Recovery Image" through that FlashRec program.
I have an idea of how to work around this but I'm not 100% sure this is what's needed..?
Could I run the phone into recovery mode (through that 1.5.2 Amon-RA thingy) and then flash the never version right onto it or is this the wrong procedure?

Lol thats excatly how I rooted my phone too (same recovery and website even) Look in the thread it's described how you flash the new recovery via ADB
Yeah ehm... I'm kinda new to this so all his "code" or whatever it is doesn't give me a hell lot of clues..
Install
There are several ways to install a custom recovery, choose the one that suits you most (I probably forgot a few).
via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys) like Cyanogen's v1.4 or my previous recovery
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img

I fixed the steps underlined but after that I kinda went cold on what the **** to do :S
I boot into my recovery and what I get from his "guide" is that I my Hero should do something when I plug in the USB cable.. but nothing happends.. anyone who can put it down in baby-steps for me? :O
There's another way to do this it seems (2nd guide in his thread) but it seems to involve even more "code" so I guess I'll settle with this if it's possible.. :S

For you I would just recommend installing "ROM manager" from the market and then let it install ClockworkMod recovery that should do for you
EDIT: There seems to be an issue with ROM manager at the moment. It wont flash...
Yeah.. Might as well try this out since no one wants to point out on how to it the "geeky"-way
EDIT:
I seem to get an error when trying to flash the ClorkworkMod Recovery.. Any idea why?
Nvm.. Some dude (erasmux) has made an update.zip and uploaded to the Amon-RA post.. it did the trick
Hello to all,
Firstly first post to this site and also new to the world of rooting/flashing so bare with me on this one..
Ok as title states I would like to know on how to successfully flash my x10 and receive the benefits that xda have given to alot of us!
Phone specs:
Xperia x10a.
Ver 2.1update1.
Rooted via super one click.
So far I have only been able to root the phone.. I have TB and have performed a back up recently. I do also have the Rom Manager app whilst watching a tutorial via youtube flashing using the Rom Manager I was not able to use the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery as the x10 was not in the listing to proceed. I have also got xrecovery ver 0.3 and tried another method using this but I was not able to install xrecovery properly.. I downloaded it all well and good but went to install and the 3 windows never became ticks just crosses.. Uninstalled and reinstalled but to no avail it did not work..
So my questions are:
Have I done something wrong on my end for this not to work? (knowing my luck yes).
And all I'm after if someone could take the time out and lay out a clear somewhat easy path in order for myself to be able to flash and install custom Roms? cm7 is what I would like to use unless if a good recommendation is given.
Thank you in advance to all and I do apologize for the long post I just wanted to make sure I covered everything.. Still new to this
Kind Regards.
Agera.
Xrecovery installer can be a bit troublesome. Sometimes it doesn't even work for me.
In my opinion, the best way to install xrecovery, root, & jit enable your x10 is through flashtool. You will need a PC but the process works better than the installer. Try that method and find out if that works.
Hey thanks for your reply, my noobness is showing greatly at this point regarding xrecovery... it'll help if I actually click install busy box and destination folder (duh) made me look....yeah Ok well now I have a phone that has been rooted and now have xrecovery in operation, I guess now comes to install a custom rom.
Now to sum it all up basically I have to copy paste desired rom and google rom pack load it onto the sd card (not in any file inside sd but just on sd) perform final backup get into xrecovery factory wipe first? I believe then custom rom reboot then get back into xrecovery then install google apps reboot and done?
I hope I got that down I'm trying to remember processes without having to go back to a tutorial, if I left anything out permission to give me a clip over the ear
Cheers.
When you pick a ROM, make sure the phone's baseband matches the ROMS baseband the developer wants. Also, follow how the way the dev wants the ROM installed, like phone wiped and cache wiped and stuff. And sometime there are multiple files that needed to be flashed in a specific order in xrecovery. So make sure you follow all the devs directions. Hope this helps.

and you can find different ROMs that don't require you to flash googleapps as well, that just makes it confusing. I started with FreeX10, as it was simple and easy to install. once you have a hang of it, I recommend using Trip's GB MIUI. and you said you backed up phone before you installed xrecovery? I recommend you backup using xrecovery first

fixed phone was able to get back into xrecovery and do a restore...
Ok, something I want to ask regarding what I did today when I went to update to a newer o/s eveything went fine until after the phone rebooted and came back to the home screen the 2.2.1 froyo rom I used seemed to be refreshing itself every 2 seconds which made it next to impossible to navigate around the phone... The arc version 2.3.1 opened up and about 30 seconds it froze restarted and shut down again did that for a while... So both didnt work for me only other thing I opened up was the google pack so I could get the market and gmail, I also tried it without installing google apps... same thing happened.
So my question is have I forgotten to put an extra file in? or was it my blind luck that I used to unstable roms?
I've really tried here.. if anyone can please post a link that is certain to work with exactly what i need to do and what files I need that would be really great. Whether its 2.2 or 2.3 it doesnt matter to me so long as it works at this stage I'm having no luck getting something solid here...
Cheers.
Hi guys,
I recently bought a second hand x10 mini pro from a friend and aside from a few cosmetic issues its running fine. However im now considering rooting the phone and changing the rom to one of the 2.2 ones available.
My dilema as it were is getting it right.... So my plan is as follows:
1.backup contacts etc from phone.
2. Root using one of the methods available from the forums.
3. Again from the forums upgrade/replace the rom on the phone
4. Cry/celebrate as the phone now is bricked/working amazingly well on the new rom.
I guess basically since ive not done something like this since the old xda2s im asking, what should I be wary of and is there anything I should be carefull of during the whole process
Thanks
Jim

One of the main concerns for me is making sure you have the correct baseband for the new ROM. You usually have to flash this using 'flashtool' or similar, the baseband ROMs are fairly easy to get hold of if you google the version numbers. 'Flashtool' can usually root the phone as well as install xrecovery and all the fiddly bits, try as I might I couldn't install xrecovery or get root acess no matter what tool I used on the x10 mini pro. 'Flashtool' on the PC did it all with a couple of mouse clicks.
If your phone doesn't work after flashing (I.e. it gets bricked) and you don't feel confident then SEUS will usually resurrect it - just select the option to reinstall despite having latest software. Its rare that the phone will be completely bricked beyond redemption, although it can happen I might add.
When you've installed a new ROM, I recommend cyanocomb 1.3 (just read all the forum posts first as some people have issues - and nobody likes the same questions being asked every third post!), allow your phone 20 mins to build its cache files before leaping into action and installing things as this can cause problems.
Cyanocomb installs CWM in place of xrecovery. It is a much better recovery program in my opinion. However, make sure you use the right ROMs with the right recovery program.
Its a complicated business. Just read the forums and write down the various steps so you've got something to work from and get all the various tools and roms together you might need before you begin. You will be surprised at the lack of insite shown by some people who dive in and bodge their phones, usually asking elementary questions which have already been answered if they could be bothered to read the forum before starting.
I'm not an expert, but I did read the forums and managed to try every ROM in the 'devs' section without the need to badger the developers about 'boot loops', which are clearly user errors not ROM faults. Remember, the developers are doing smashing work and all they ask is some common sense and courtesy shown by other forum members, not to be plagued by incompetance and ignorance.
By posting here before flashing you've shown some wisdom, so I wish you well and hope others can share their experience with you.

thanks for the advice, still reading the forums as you suggested at the moment. once ive got a clear idea in my head of what im doing i will of course let you know how i got on (and hopefully have a working phone to boot!!!)
thanks

brick wall time i guess. So i have managed to root the phone using as suggested 'flashtool'. phone rooted no problem, xrecovery apparently is installed. however my brick wall so to speak is that despite numerous searches of the x10 forum this evening i cannot for the life of me see how flash the rom on to the phone. im stuck and do not know what to do.

After installing xrecovery you will probably need to install CWM beacause all new ROMs are created to be flashed with CWM and not Xrecovery. If you are on stock Rom this can help you The easiest way to install CWM on Stock Rom for Mini Pro
After you done this, download any custom ROM you want, place it in your SD card, boot into CWM recovery, choose first wipe user data, then choose advanced and wipe Dalvik cash and baterry stats.
After that choose INSTALL CUSTOM ZIP and find that zip on your SD card and flash it. That should be it.
Oh one more thing.... Make backup before you do any of this (just in case).
Many thanks, shall attempt this tonight and post my results accordingly

its been 22 minutes since i installed the rom and im looking at a boot screen still, is this normal? dont want to go to my backup without giving it a fair chance!!!
used this rom btw http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051678
appears to have caught itself in a boot loop so am restoring my backup of the original rom that was there so at least the phone is working. if at first you dont succeed try try again.
at least now i have an idea of what it is im doing, many thanks for all the advice.
So it's been a while since I did any rooting/recovery stuff on phones and now that I'm on my 3rd phone but the previous 2 were HTCs which are different from the Optimus V, on virgin mobile.
I did some poking around and looking but haven't found anything, that I know of, that would allow me to do what I VERY MUCH like and prefer to do as opposed to basically starting over on the new phone.
Basically, I'm coming from the HTC HD2 on t mobile with a custom 2.3 rom and have backups of the programs I want to put on the optimus v by using titanium backup, if it makes a difference I also have clockworkmod/TI backup installed on both phones; obviously they wont work on the optimus till its rooted. I know I need to have root ability but don't/won't actually need it permanently b/c other than transferring apps/data over, I want to remove a few of the virgin apps on the phone and be done.
From what I did read, I know I can use SuperOneClick and adb to remove the virgin apps but where does that leave me for the transferring of apps/data?
If you could link files needed along with directions/steps or to a thread that shows how to do this w/ temp root or perm root would be most appreciated.
I need this done asap so i can wipe the hd2 to just a clean android 2.3 and then sell it to a buyer i'm meeting tonight.
Sorry, if this question has been asked but I did look before posting.
Thanks in advance!
See this thread for rooting, & installing custom recovery & custom ROM.

After everything is done, you should make another Nandroid backup in recovery mode, then could try to restore from your Titanium backup, but it's not recommended for even coming from a different ROM, let alone a different device. If you get weird bugs, then restore to the fresh Nandroid backup & and re-install all apps manually.
Thanks for the reply, i was just looking at your post on rooting/recovery/etc. Ok, guess I will have to do that then since I'm in a rush.
And by manually you mean one by one through adb, correct? If not please enlighten me!

I'm fixin to try a Bumblebee + Blue Sphere combo just for laughs and grins. Will let you know how that works out. Might try the picasticks with it as well.
EDIT: Could not get the bluesphere kernel to play with the Bumblebee ROM. I did get the picasticks kernel to play though. It seemed to smooth it out a little more. I went down to 600MHz where I could see how angry birds played. Stock Bumblebee showed a little lag when game returned to the sling shot. With picasticks kernel it smoothed it out a little better. I liked it. This combo will now be my Froyo ROM in recovery backup(I like to have one Froyo ROM and one Gingerbread ROM in my backups). I'll try it with V6 script on option#2
Hi everyone,
I want to root my phone (will use this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200167 - I dont understand much about this but ohh well) and i read this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=900905) so i kinda knew what i was doing. And as i understood from that thread, the best way to backup all my data (like creating my custom rom right?) is with nandroid! But what is nandroid and how can i backup my data with it?
I just would like some suggestions from you! what i should do and how i should do it before i root my phone?
Thank you in advance!
After root install custom recovery, reboot phone to it and choose backup, wait and its done.
send from Andy's PHOENIX.
i didnt quite understood the install custom recovery! how can i install it? i can only do a backup of my recovery when i root my phone?
would be awesome if i could have a private chat with someone who could lose some of their time explaining me this!

ok, my understanding is that in order to use nandroid backup, your phone has to be rooted first.
in the link you posted about rooting GB 2.3.3 ROM, it only mentioned using astro file manager to backup the apps. nowhere it mentioned nandroid backup.
if you are rooting a froyo(2.2/2.2.x) based phone, it is really quite simple. I do not think any kind of backup is needed at all.
Well i finished rooting my phone. Went well with no problems. Quite simple in fact, but what i wanted to know is, imagine i install a custom rom (btw, i know kernel improves the performance of your phone, so what does a custom rom does?) that i suddenly dont like, so i want to get back to my hold one. How can i backup my original rom?

To use ROM Manager features you must inevitable flash CWM recovery and to do so you have two options, first beign flashing it via ROM Manager that can cause a bricked phone, or use recovery flashing how-to i posted earlier and install buggy and crappy CWM from there, thats why i recommend TWRP recovery

Ya, its not that it'll break phone but many features dont go well like zip signature verification which verifies that everything is correct in the zip and so the flash process will not cause a corrupted filesystem, mmm the amount of "No" confirmations are frankly ridiculous... some users reported flashing problems with the last version 5.0.2.0... Cannot repair SD Card, doesnt have touchscreen support and it cannot make selective backups which frankly s%x cause you wasted time and space... (also the fact that doesnt have themes support and cant compress backups...)
And also the fact tha maaany maaany users including me have bricked their phones flashing via ROM Manager... And also the fact that wiping cache & dalvik with CWM will cause conflict with a2sd script users...
Anyway @Palmaaa if you want to risk your phone flash via rom manager... if you want a crappy recovery flash CWM.... if you want the best and safest recovery then prefer TWRP v1.0.3.13b, your phone and your physical keys will say thank you
I appreciate your warning! ill try to search a bit more about what im going to do next!
Never use ROM manager. It breaks the phone and it gets stuck at LG logo on boot. Many users have reported the issue. Use the recovery for flashing and taking backups.

Yeah, none of them are morons. For every other widget and live wallpaper app, the 'intelligent' users rate the app 1 star just because they cannot find it under the app drawer. So keeping in mind the 'intelligent' users on the market, I don't give a **** about the ratings.
It doesn't make a difference if you did not face issues. There are many people who have faced the issue and ONLY because of ROM manager. Just wanted to prevent another user from facing a similar issue and instead use the clean and safe method of custom recovery.
You tone showed that you're arguing. That last sentence doesn't make any sense.

Dude you are not helping.... encouraging users and specially new users to install something that has a high risk to screw and brick ur phone is not a way of helping them, if rom manager worked for you its fine, but maybe for another user it'll break his phone, ROM Manager is an unreliable app and method to use recoveries....... Ohh and btw user can install whatever he wants im just guiding and encouraging him to install the safest and most trustworthy and functional recovery of all, and is TWRP v1.0.3.13b
Have phun when ur volume keys, menu or any other button stops working LOLz
