question about 2.1 roms - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As much as I love flashing various roms there is one thing that bothers me about 2.1 roms and thats the slide to unlock screen after wake up. I was wondering if there was a way to disable this or cook a rom without this. i also noticed the way I usuall unlockother roms with a physical button doesnt work.
any help is appreciated.

kmobs has a menu unlock utility on xda

Wrong section!
Some ROMs have Menu Unlockers. XxKOHOLExX v2.4 has it.

Yes... kmobs utility is attached below. Install it with adb or a file manager from the market like astro.

Communication Manager

I don't know if this is the right place for this but I was wondering if someone could make a communication manager for me with this format? I just found it on a smartphone forum & I really like the layout & color. I have attached a pic & the cab just in case you need it. I would really appreciate it if someone could make this for the wing or if its already been made, point me in the right direction to get it. Thanks in advance!

Man I didn't really wanna have to flash my ROM just to get this. I like the standard ROM. It does the functions I need it to do. I guess I'll just keep looking around here. Thanks for the help

then look at the "CAB collection" in my signiture... there is a link to a .cab for dialer
good luck.
Does anyone know if I can make it so each one is highlighted so I don't have to use the stylus to turn wifi on and off? I'm using opentouch 3.0 on my wing and when I go up and down on the communication manager there is no highlighter.

Hey the stock ROM does everything I need it to do. I don't run alot of applications at once so I don't need it to run faster or anything like that, I just want everything to match. I want it all black as much as possible. And I definately don't wanna void my warranty. I've only had my phone a couple months so I don't wanna flash anything till after the warranty is up
hey, just want to check, if i flash my rom and put one of these custom roms on, will i still be able to use activesync? I use my phone for e-mail and all my contacts etc, so its kind of important

Modacos Sense Rom trouble

Hi,
i would love to use this ROM,
but after installation i got a big problem. When i call somebody the call stops right after putting the phone on my ears (so that the display goes black to save energy). I could possibly continue the call if i wouldn't put it on my ears.
Strange...
Any Ideas? I allready upgraded and changed kernels
For the moment the phone is unusable
Search N1 forum for 'Wonk'. Install the 'Dewonkificator'.
Very well known issue.
You mean this tool?

Good question... To be honest i don't know although you may be right. Have a search of the dev section as it's there where you'll see it mentioned the most.
Luckily i've never been wonked so i've not looked into the matter too closely.
You upgraded to which kernel? Some are not compatible with unsupported ROMs.

Oh boy.... Another one of these threads.
Short answer.... PICK one, they are all better than stock. There are so many roms out there that only YOU can judge what you want and need in a rom.
Everyone will have a different answer for you. For instance I say Firefly, but only because it works for me
You can't go wrong choosing any of them.

Anything other than JI6, that leaky rom is junk.

That is unanswerable every single phone is different, and people have widely different tastes. The trick is finding a rom that works best FOR YOU.

dude, youre takin this a little too seriously, im just lookin for a good suggestion to start with, and i know every phone is different, thats why i put what phone i have. thanks
LMAO........
The suggestions are to try them out yourself........
They are all better than stock........
You have to figure it out for yourself..........
And he meant that every Captivate is different.......If you did some more reading...you would know what he meant........
The "all in one place" is the first 3 pages of the dev section........http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=706 any thread that starts with [ROM] is what your looking at
if you want a fast rom i would recommend the cyanogen mod 7.
people talk about how its unstable and has bad battery life
but its all wrong,,,
from my experience cm7 has been a stable like all the other roms but just faster..
It's the fastest you'll ever get right now and it has all different customization you can do.
so try it out.
Might want to try cm6 its outdated but fast and more reliable

You have 3E recovery.
The easiest way to get around it is to Flash the .tar version of speedmod with the full version of odin.
This only works on 2.2 If you need any more help. I will be around for a bit.

good answer! but if you are on 2.1 you can put the new rom on the sd card first and then flash speedmod. it wont boot into the rom but will give you recovery to flash the new rom.
yes, no need to root just odin flash speedmod then flash a rom.
if you want complete and reliable and well polished then flash andromeda, it's a bit older version of 2.2 but the work was great.
if you want super fast flash something that says js8, i hear the paragon rom has a great kernel. id say cm7 but maybe you should work up to that, it isn't hard but you need odin to flash back if you have problems, there aren't any 2.2 kernels or roms with the proper update script and binary to be flashed from the recovery that cm7 uses.

Nice. That makes sense that it will work.
OCLF (one click lagfix) use ext2. Titanium or some system app remover app to get rid of bloat and you should be good to go. At the end of the day different ROMs and such are for asthetics... no one has over 340 mg of Ram available so performance not much different from one to the next once lagfix installed. Until you OC/UV and that is tuff to maintain stability with.
Now we all know that there are no "Best Rom" threads but sense this one has changed course ill leave it open.
Each rom runs differently for each person. This is due to the many different ways we each use our phones. Once you get the hang of it, try out a few and find your favorite. Good luck on your quest.

Questions pertaining to specific roms should be asked in their thread. Most times you're not the only one that's had that problem and it's already been addressed. That translates into search and read.

[Q] need help with roms and flashing?!

Okay so I've been hacking iPhones since the first one. I got my hd7 wen it was released. And I've updated to NoDo. Now...i realize this update kills chevronwp7. But I've been reading an reading all over this forum and its only half-clear to me. I have installed axebox and the update for HD7 rom unbranding. Problem: what rom do i need? There are so many and where do i get it?? I know i need the rom for the firmware before NoDo... I've been spending hours. Posting a thread is always last resort. Im not illiterate just not knowledgeable enough yet with this.
Thanks for any and all replies!
You'll first need to flash or roll back to an older ROM (either 7004 or 7008).
Then, you'll need to follow this thread

Oh and I just read about needing a "goldcard" and a special USB cable? Is this someones misunderstanding? I thought "goldcard" was an update to axebox.

For example this rom :
[ROM][UPD]RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.20.531.01_Radio_5.51.09.11a_2 2.31.50.09_Signed
How do I know that when i install it It will flash or roll back to an older ROM (either 7004 or 7008) ?

Get on a PC and login to your windows live account and then check your contacts and see if they are there. When I first got my HD7 and set it up, it synched all my contacts. After I restored it and did the unlock and upgraded it, it synched all my contacts back and I didn't know it did and I ended up having all my contacts twice cause I had imported them from my similar card before realizing they had synched back from my windows live

Sorry for a quasi-hijack, but I too need help with flashing ROM's so it's highly related.
I've searched all over for almost a week, but I can't find an answer. How can you get into bootloader with unresponsive volume keys?
I've tried modding the registry entry for my phone so that I can move the HD2compatible EnterBootloader.exe files I found on this site on to my HD7, but they don't execute when I try to run them (I didn't really expect them to since they were compiled for WM6.5, but I tried all the same). Is there something similar for WP7? Or maybe does someone know how to launch the bootloader via code in an app (I have developer access to it)? I can't even hard reboot this thing without the volume keys working.
Thanks in advance!

Open up the phone and fix the volume button. Who wants a phone with a broken volume button anyway? You'll want it fixed.

[Q] How to get the swipe to awake only ?

I have an HTC One with a Orange France ROM. I would like to get the swipe to awake "trick" on my device. I understood this function was available in a some of the custom kernels. I don't really need to change my ROM and would like to know what minimal and most simple operation I am supposed to operate on my device considering that I'm a newbbie....
Thank you for your help,

You can get it here. There are quite a few tweaks available, like adding functionality to the HTC logo at the bottom of the glass as well.

It's about as simple as it can get. Seriously. I think you'll enjoy this kernel. Sorry for not adding the link before. I meant to.

Getting the Sweep to Awake (S2W is what they call it here) involves flashing a new ROM or Kernel. If you still consider yourself a newbie, you need to figure out how to do that first. It isn't particularly hard, just dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.
