What is a patch,port. Not to sure kinda new to this i have a x2that is flashed with eclipse and want to learn more.thanx
[/LIST]
A port is something taken from another phone it ROM and changed so it will work for the new phone or ROM. Like we have some ROMs from the atrix, they need to be changed to work with are phone so therefore they were ported.
A patch is something you flash to fix a problem. In CM7, there is a patch that you flash after you flash the ROM to fix the wifi and blue tooth problems.

I own a tmobile vibrant and for some reason or another through a flash gone wrong a strange thing happens! When I firt boot up my vibrant the first screen I see is
G-I9000 with Samgung on the bottom (white lettering)
Then it quickly switches to "VIBRANT" then boots normal onto Nero V3
Anyone have a clue what I did
Thanks in advance

I had that also when I needed to use eugenes froy that doesn't brick. If you tried that rom there may be a little peice still on there. It's most likely nothing. Just a bonus boot animation.

if there are no problems other than an extra animation I wouldn't worry about it
You seem to have flashed a rom that was with the ported i9000 kernel. It won't cause any problems, but any newly released roms don't have this anymore, I'm curious what rom you flashed.
Ginger Clone's of the World Unite! Via the XDA App
You get that when you flash a rom built with an I9000 kernel, probably one of Eugene's.
Thanks for all the replies telling me I wont cause problems. I guess it just bug me more then anything.
I can't recall what ROM I flashed to, I was trying different thing to get my Vibrant unlocked and found one suggestion to try the I9000 ROM
I just got my Samsung Fascinate today and got it rooted. I am currently running Community Rom 2.0 and want to install a new theme but am not sure how. I'm guessing you flash them just like you would a new rom? I'd rather not just go in trying things without knowing though and screwing up my new phone.
I've been using Miui on my Droid 1 up till this point and installing themes was extremely easy on that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
It's exactly like flashing a ROM. Select the zip in clockworkmod and flash. Just make sure it's made for your ROM.

Sorry I'm new so was wondering if anyone could relay or respond. I can't seem to get any wifi tethering to work on Synergy r345.
Same...I was wanting to use the synergy ROM but after I flashed USB tethering was not working and neither was the hotspot it said I was not subscribed.
I am using Steel's ROM for now.
are you guys using cwm 4.0.1.4 recovery

using cwm cuz i have no other choice (htc official root) and wifi is borked.
can someone confirm changes to the new Synergy release?... is the 3G/4G notification gone? Also no settings access in the notification dropdown?
Your different things may not work if you are using a 2.3.3 ROM with a device that got the new OTA. Also 2.3.4 ROMs only work with the new kernels or stuff won't work.

Did you unlock with the HTC unlock? If so I do not think its allowing to flash a kernel. It appears to flash but it doesn't. Is the rom you're trying to flash a 2.3 rom? If so try flashing a kernel and seeing in settings if it actually changed. (If you used HTC to unlock that is) wifi was borked on my buddy's phone (used HTC unlock) with any 2.3 rom.

no, I used revolution for the unlock... I'm just guessing it's the new 2.3.4 I'll just wait it out a week or 2 and see what happens.
Ditto here. Flashed Synergy earlier today, and no wifi (specifically WPA2). It acts like it's going to connect and then just drops. I've tried the "gingerjane" kernel and Dream Kernel, and none work (and I did verify in the Settings that the kernel had properly been installed). I've even tried flashing different radios just for kicks.
This sucks
Flash the newest Synergy build, both wifi and usb tethering are working now. You will have to be familiar with svn, there is a guide on the second post I believe. Or you can wait for somebody to upload the revision 381. Then you can grab it and flash away.
I wanted to root for a while, just looking for a rom that looks and feels stock, but has better battery and all..
well I followed
watch?v=-hPSrzRqtX4&feature=player_detailpage (cannot post link as I'm new)
and successfully got to supra rom.. well I don't like the vanilla 5 screen non sense homescreen, though I do like the crt visuals lol...
Anyways, I can't even use my wifi, it just says error, and I NEED wifi, I use it at home non-stop as I have horrible service.
Well I tried to switch to viperRom - I did the reset in bootloader, then full wipe, then cache and all that..
well, once I installed the viperRom .zip, I started my phone and its just the same as before... I can't switch roms! I know this is prolly some nooby thing I don't understand but I've been searching all night and just want to get everything working and need to sleep haha
any help GREATLY APPRECIATED
What do you mean about not being able to switch roms?

I figured out that I was trying to flash to viperRom using only the update
I'm now on viper, with stock kernel and still cannot get wifi to work, any ideas? Any searching turns up kernel issues, and to revert to stock.. well I'm on stock kernel

unless you're having hardware wifi issues, which the best way to determine would be through running a stock rom and stock kernel, my guess is you have a kernel and rom mismatch issue.
the way htc has their kernels compiled includes two things: kernel and modules.
the modules include a wifi module.
if you flash a kernel and then load a rom, chances are the rom might overwrite either the kernel, the kernel modules, or both.
the best way to avoid this scenario is to flash the rom first and then flash the kernel. the kernel flash will load the kernel itself and its modules. i.e. if you're on a rom you want to stay with now, flash the kernel again and then wifi should work.
hope that helps!
Thank you, o figured this out myself, but you were right lol I was using 2.3.3 roms on 2.3.4

I couldnt find relevant answers bt searching so i am creating a new thread.
I just now installed open optimus rom for 2.3.3(build 2.202.1)
2.6.35.14-franco kernel
i followed this thread
now i am facing some problems
when usb debugging is on, and i plug in usb, it tickers usb debugging connected and then phone freezes, and reboots and keeps on rebooting itself. windows keeps on finding and losing the phone. so i cannot connect in debugging mode. However when i disable debugging and enable mass storage only i can access the mass storage mode
also phone freezes up when i run certain apps(like proxydroid)
and refreshes(ie does not reboots but does some kind of reset of launcher etc which is fast)
secondly
the theme is very dark, i want a more light theme.
edit: i liked the gingerbread theme, this one is bluish, i want black like gingerbread. plz tell how to do i change to gingerbread theme
this is first time i am installling custom rom, (i had upgraded my phone to 2.3.3 manually some days back though)
What should i do to get debugging mode
plz some1 reply to this thread
yes even me faced some problems with open optimus (gingerbread), it has some bugs.
I suggest change your rom ?
ya, i did that, went back to my backuped 2.3.3 stock rom.
i guess i have to say, all custom roms have some bugs, so u cant use them if u want just stable and reliable use of ur phone.
if anyone can suggest a custom rom with no freezes, crashes, and most functionality working, ill be very happy to switch
and i would like to say that i upgraded to 2.3.3 from froyo using info from mak.3736 signature. so thanks to u

This isnt true.I think the most stable custom roms arexygen rom,aosp rom,mik's cm7(both stable & testing) and Andy's rom(but it has video bug,but i cn live without it).And almost all froyo roms are stable.
can u plz tell which rom, kernel u using, is it bug free? and i want gingerbread roms only.. coz stock gingerbread looks way more cool than stock froyo and since i have baseband v20 i dont want to change it.
thanks..
I m using the openoptimus rom I suggest u reflash ur rom and cleaar the dalvik cache from recovery to solve the problems u are facing. The only bug in this rom m facing is tethering errors

ok ill trying it again, this time i wiped dalvik cache too.
EDIT: it is working properly now. i guess the problem resolves after wiping dalvik cache and reflashing rom
and how to theme this rom? i want it to closely resemble gingerbread rom in terms of colors
i am still facing crashes or freezeups afterwhich phone kinda reboots. i guess ill stick to stock rom.
if you want to switch to gingerbread cutom roms
first downgrade baseband to v10 follow : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217504
then you can flash mik's rom or andy's rom or aosp or oxygen , all are good, but as you are new you might like mik's rom 6.5.8 , as according to my view its more stable and most of the functionality working.
ok ill try mik rom sometime(its the one by mik_os cm7 rit 6.5.8-beta1)?
also tell me how can i add powermenu, remove some stock crapware apps and other goodies to a stock rom 2.3.3 , kinda what cyber_avjit did. his rom cannot be downloaded, none of download link is working
i know there is a 'kitchen' but i am a not a pro cook.
so i need some cooking tips too.
thanks for ur patience to bear with me
for building power menu there is a thread in xda (search it)
for removing stock apps from rom you can use titanium back up, but remember there are some apps that should not be removed (if removed causes force close or boot loops), there is a thread in xda (search) which tells which app from stock rom can be removed safely.
If u want stock then I suggest aga rom I used and I really like this rom
