[ANSWERS THREAD] Ask any questions here! - Gen8 General

Hi everyone, since I am probably one of the last active Gen8 device owners here on the forum and I enjoy helping people setup their Gen8 devices or just answer random questions related to them I decided to make this thread.
So anyone please if you have any questions ask them here as it will be easier for me to see them and (try to) answer them in a timely manner as I will be subscribed to this thread!
Thanks and hope this will make it easier to help the people out there that might still own one of these devices and is in wondering what to do next.

Sorry for the late response, I was in the middle of the exams re-take week so although I saw this I could not answer.
So I will do my best to help you but what do you actually want to do, are you asking how to install a newer android version (2.3.x or 4.0.x) or how to re-install the stock firmware or how to install an alternative OS (debian linux)?

Hello, same problem here , i want to install a new ROM(?) for my Archos101 but i don't know which one i have to choose , and i'm not really good in english , so if you can help me out
I just want a newest and fastest version than my 2.2.1

Well you can get a newer version but it will surely not be faster than 2.2, you could install OpenAOS Degu (android 2.3) or Cyanobiz (android 4.0) depending what version of android you want, I can help out if you tell me which one you want to install.
Also if you want to improve the performance of android 2.2 I would recommend installing one of the root kernels (either the OpenAOS boot menu one or Chulri's kernel) and then use the app called Milstone Overclock (I found it somewhere here on XDA, I can give a link) and set the CPU at 1.2Ghz.
You could also go multiboot using Kboot (which I actually need to re-upload and will do that now) so you can have newer android version(s) and stock working better at the same time. For root I would actually recommend Chulri's kernel instead of the OpenAOS one, it seems to work better.

Hi every one

I do not have that device but I don't even see a 50c Neon on their product range on the .com site, only a 50c Platinum and a 50 Neon, for the 50 Neon there is this MIUI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-archos-50-neon-t3210324 but otherwise you are out of luck I am afraid.

Loool just search it in google i am sure you will find it !
Is there any ported rom or any thing else for my phone ?
Thanks in advance :good:

Nope, except that MIUI for that 50 Neon I can not find anything else so I'm afraid you are out of luck.

I don't suppose anyone knows where I can get an Archos 35 Home Connect, do you? I can't find any listings anywhere.

android 2.0.1

hi I'm new to this forum I just bought htc dream and I saw on youtube there's a way to get android 2.0.1 on it. Is that true? How can I do that I also saw that the camra didn't work. Is there a way to make it work? And I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.

lol, there's really no "best" ROM. It all depends on what you want. If you're a noob you would probably want to try out something stable and CM's will be the first stable & fully functional 2.1 release for the G1. I might recommend waiting for that. In the meantime you should probably root your phone if you haven't already and install a 1.6-based ROM. (Almost all of them are stable - you can pick just about any of them.)
when is that coming out? And how do I root it is there a tutorial?
Im guessing you don't know much about this don't you?

Alright let's begin shall we.
This Youtube video will get you into the root procedure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8F7FVISb7w

Now once you do that you will need to find a nice stable, quick ROM.

froyo? android 2.2?

ok i do a search but im kind new in android in fact after a fraud and a lot of time i get my money back and i buy on ebay to a top seller ._.
well anyways my nexus one its on way i just want to know if froyo its already up?i mean i read from a leaked evrsion or test version. but can someone point me any rom?i will test my device before root, but when i test and i get the root i will try install froyo or maybe a desire rom thanks a lot and sorry for noobish question. i came from windows mobile and its a new world here ._.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686734
Follow that, skip step 2. And before you click "New Thread" next time, use search and open your eyes.
Here's a link to where you can find all the ROMs and radio available for your N1 after rooting it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654869
You can never go wrong with the ROMs available right now. They all have their benefits, pros and cons so I suggest you try em yourself.
Froyo isn't officially out yet, so it wont be available via OTA for who knows when. The leaked version is available to try out, and although there are minor issues on this ROM, its definitely usable and I'm very satisfied with it.

All the roms on the development section read the posts to see what you want .
Rom Kitchin would be my recommend
and tell me is it possible to return back to original firmware if i'm not satisfied with downloaded one?
NOT unless you save your original rom .
However you can get back to Stock Samsung rom that's the firmware before its been customized by the phone network .

Seriously dude, if you can’t give an answer, you are allowed to not post anything and waist more space. If you really feel you need to say something, direct the user, or do something useful.
Darkys rom is probably the best - at least the one I enjoy most.
Ps. Even though your question borders on being General, if you want to ask ROM related question please do so in the "Galaxy S I9000 Q&A", before someone die.
thanks JJEgan and everyone for support, i'll try some roms!

Yes I red what you posted and I went through all the threads. But the only advice is to try new kernel or ROM. I am not an IT i am a normal business man so I dont have time to "play" with my phone for the whole day.
That is Why I was asking for some fix. I used WM 6,5 and I was used to do things like this with hotfix-es

Hi,
I,'m glad that you took the time to read the posts I suggested,and I hope you learned a little bit more about your HD2.
The reason I pointed you in that direction,was to show you that there was no solution to your problem,other than to try a new kernel or ROM.
I am not in IT,and if there was an hotfix,you would have been directed to it.
It does not take a great deal of time to install a new ROM.Just make sure you BACKUP your information before you start(use CWM backup and restore).
Otherwise, you are stuck with your wakeup lag.

My earlier post was meant to be a joke between i & malybru, so pls don't tk it personal...I understand wat it means not to have adequate time to "play" with our phone especially when its a primary device to keep in touch with a business...Nevertheless, d only way 2 solve most issues is 2 get create time and play with different builds/kernels to find dat sweet mix for u...So just as malybru says, mk sure u have a cwm backup before doing anything cuz i've used C.D's 1.6 and it was quite stable for me...

Just bought a note 2

Hello Guys
I'm new in the forum and I just bought a galaxy note 2 n7100,I got it in china and has some kind of custom rom chinese I guess.
I also own a nexus 3 but I never changed the rom and is currently running android 4,2.
On my note I want to get an original rom or something that works well,what do you suggest me and what should I do?
Thanks
You need to carefully read how to root and flash a new rom, if that's what you want. My site has an up-to-date list of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ROMs. You can also see a few community links to information here at XDA, to help you learn how to root your device.
Read the threads carefully. You should follow the information for your Note II, not a different Note II.
Do you live in China? What do you mean some kind of custom rom Chinese? Did someone sell it with a custom rom on it?
Welcome to the forums. I just got my Note II 6 days ago.
Loving it. (Although I was surprised to learn it doesn't have an FM Radio?)

It's already rooted, don't worry.
Go to Settings > About device, and tell us what your baseband version is. Once knowing that, someone can point you in the direction of a nice ROM, which is as easy as making a few clicks.

Why not just flash stock sammy rom just like your Nexus3? The stock is good as it is for me. I would suggest go stock, then slap a 64gb microsd for hd movies for your trips to China ü
Updated roms should be round the corner anyway given the leaks mentioned everywhere.

Well hell, just go over to the Development section and download a nice ROM suited for your baseband. The N7100 has plenty of support.
No worries. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1794
You can backup your stuff from your Galaxy Nexus to your computer and move them over to your new phone. Unfortunately it doesn't have an SD card so you can't just move the card over and copy it.
