[Q] Android on HTC Touch Pro (Problems and Questions)

Hi,
I want to install Android on my HTC Touch pro. Now I've done a bit of research but I still ain't sure.
I Live in Malta, and bought an unlocked phone from the UK (eBay). I downloaded the XDAndroid thing from the XDAndroid Wiki but I don't know which is my exact model. I went with the RAPH800, and when I ran it, it seemed to get stuck on the booting. it said something about a bug :S I only could pull off the battery, as nothing else would work.
So, Im back to step one.
1. Which exactly is my phone model?
2. If it was the RAPH800, does it normally get stuck on 'bug KENDEL' something like that
3. How long does the booting take overall?
major props to any1 who helps me
EDIT: I also wanna do the Dual-Boot thing using using GenY-DualBOOT (got it from this website). Any1 can help me doing that, and if its worth it or no
Thanks guys.
P.S. I'm a noob, so I need very detailed instructions

OK, I have a new problem. i downloaded another installer, and it didn't crash. (There was a default SETUP.txt file so I used that. I'm getting to the XDAndroid screen, but then some grainy aindroid toolbar comes, my phone vibrates, and stops there :S
Any ideas (pics to follow soon)

Pics are huge, like 2MB each, and it doesnt let me post from tinypic before 7 posts -.- Hopefully you know what I mean

As you can see, 3rd and 4th is where the problem arises. The other 2 are just there so you see what comes in the meantime.

Last BUMP. If I don't get helped, I'll just give up

This might not be the right section to post this in. I would suggest going to the android development section for your specific phone.

-RESERVED! -
Here will be released the upcoming "Serenity-ROM", the counterpart to the "firefly"-ROM by me...
Currently the planning period for this ROM is in progress...
I think, it will become a "Low-Ressource" firmware, that will be quie fast...
But you can post any suggestions for this firmware here...

Can you Try following things in your new rom(for 8530) :
1. Please try to make rom fast so that we can play heavy games without lag and unlocking of phone without lag .
2. If possible,try to fix or remove memory leakage issue:silly:
3. if possible,add some kind of sound effect like vodoo or extreme grove in ROM
4. Make hidden bada storage visible via USB.
5. If possible,make GPS fix fast.:silly:
few more things still to come...
Thanks...
Regards,
WaveGuru

1. If it is possible to reduce the lag ... for example when I play Asphalt 6 all widgets are closed.
2. If it is possible to add a Facebook app that lets you know in real time when you receive a message, a LIKE or someone has written on the wall ... etc ... just like on Android.
3. If it is possible to add a GPS application that works and that you know when to turn right or left and when to go ahead ... I hope I did understand, because the already preinstalled, Samsung LBS, must be activated, to look your way from one point to another and to guide you on that road.
Waiting for your rom :good:

1. I think, nearly all widgets will be removed...
2. I'll only work with Java version of FB...
3. It is not planned to include navigation in this rom...
You have it in the "firefly" ROM with Route66... But, you need a license...

First impressions...
Welll....
Work is going on...
THX in advance to hero355, who gave me permission to use his Turko-CFW V8 as donor-FW...
But, this ROM will NOT become a copy of this one...
It'll only include some features, that you can also find in hero355's CFW ...
Stay curious...!

Taxidriver05...do you have a ETA for this ROM? I'm waiting for it like a baby waits for his chocolate

Currently NOT...
Need a little bit time for creating the ROM...
Currently less time for doing some firmware projects...

[Q] Change device ID/Name for wifi?

Hi all, hoping you can help me out with this. It's not a critical issue, more a vanity/QOL thing.
I'd like to change the device name/ID that shows up when connecting my Nexus 7 to a wifi network. Currently it shows up as "android-<string of alphanumerics>" but I'd like to be able to give it a more descriptive name to help differentiate when setting up a wifi connection around multiple similar devices.
I've got my N7 rooted but not unlocked, and I'd prefer not to flash a custom ROM if possible. I'm no stranger to flashing ROMs, I'm just not interested in putting a huge amount of work or potentially causing myself problems for something that is so relatively minor.. I can live without a custom device name, but it would be nice to be able to set one up.
Thanks in advance!

Is that screenshot from the custom ROM you have listed in your sig?
I'm using a stock N7 with build JDQ39 and I don't seem to have many of those options listed in the Developer Options menu. Or is there something I need to do to enable those, similar to the method used to 'unhide' the Developer Options in the first place?
My apologies if this is basic information that I could have found elsewhere.

Yes it is Slim Bean Build 7. That is just what I use as it is included in the ROM. You can set it manually or use an app such as these.

Wow.. I feel incredibly dumb right now. I'm so used to doing things the hard way I didn't even consider checking if there were apps in the store that might do what I wanted. Thanks for reminding me to look in the easy places first!
Cheers!

Saving problem after flashing Cyanogenmod 14.1 (Please help ASAP!)

Guys I wanted to experience a change from the typical stock so I decided to flash the cyanogenmod (official nightly build, for athene).. Experienced a few issues from the beginning (including audio stutter glitch) but managed to fix it after I googled quite a lot for the solution. However the new problem seems to be really annoying and makes me want to switch back to stock, but all the work I've put onto the installation and customization holds me back from doing so. Each time I open Pixlr (Image editing software) or Ringtone maker and edit a file and then try to save it.. I get an error and the file fails to save. This makes the whole app-using experience a waste so it would be a big help if any of you guys could help me out. Thanks

The CM is dead since Dec 25, I don't know where did you get that "official nightly"...

Try doing a reflash (clean) with Internal Storage wipe. It worked for me.

This will resolve your issue.

Thanks guys
Thanks a lot guys for all your suggestions. But is there any guarantee that this issue can be fixed by clean flashing the rom again? There is so much customization and data on the phone.. I didn't want to lose it with no positive result.

Backup is the 1st thing before you decide to use any custom roms. It's like a law
Use titanium backup for apps and twrp for whole backup of system and apps.

stable nougat based custom rom

Hi,
A little history, my wife phone screen broke and got replaced by a (Class A) 3rd party screen in a cellphone repair shop.
A couple of days after the fix, she got a notification on the J7 system upgrade, I did advice her to wait a couple weeks before applying the upgrade since there might some problem that might come up (aside from firt time seeing a system upgrade from Samsung phone).
She got impatient (more likely annoyed to the constant system notification) and applied the upgrade resulting to the screen being unresponsive to touches(no touch syndrome).
She went back to the shop that replace the broken screen and they say that they could fix it. (which the did)
Now as it stands her phone already has a custom rom, attached the system info. Not sure if what the shop claims about the real reason behind the no touch issue is the 3rd party screen, that an original screen is needed in order to have it (j7 pro) working on oreo.
Though the did fix the no touch issue, but the overall user experience has been not ideal. Noticeable problem are random restart, cant't remember wifi passwrd after restart and non working Bluetooth. (there might be more).
I have some experience in rooting and installing custom rom on my phones before (Nexus 5X, Xiaomi Redmi Not4x and Nextbit Robin), but somehow I am putoff rooting Samsung phone because of ODIN. But since her phone has already TWRP installed, I think I can manage here (already install Magisk on her phone).
Can anyone here recommend a nougat based custom rom which is stable and have little to no issue (like the ones mentioned above).
thanks in advance.
