    Thread Restored Backup not booting properly? "#### has stopped"

    Guys, I have an S5 running Cyanogen Lollipop and Philz Touch 6.26.2 as the recovery. I was experimenting with flashing a new camera .ZIP earlier today but BEFORE doing so I used Philz to create a backup. The flash of the .zip for the camera went wrong and ended up prompting the phone to hang on...

    Thread I think the time has come...

    Having been a very proud HTC Desire owner for almost a year, I upgraded a month ago to the Desire HD - at first I loved it, despite being massively larger it seemed like a superior device. But now, a month on I'm charging the old Desire back up and preparing to transition back to it, in my...

    Thread Sponsored Adverts

    As a forum owner myself, I appreciate the need to fund the site, however adding a sponsored advert between EVERY SINGLE POST within a thread is just ridiculous. It devalues the forum and makes printing a page very frustrating, as well as simply reading a page!! Please please reduce it to every...

    Thread IPSEC/L2TP to IPCop VPN server?

    Guys, I'm trying to get my Kaiser to VPN into our Linux based IP Cop VPN server, using a certificate that has installed fine. I enter all VPN details, the phone connects its 3G first, then attempts to connect the VPN - on our server side logs we can see the connection attempt, authentication...

    Thread New Rom Flash...and I'm very happy!!

    Its rare that I would make a post like this but I just wanted to advise anyone else looking for a speedy efficient rom to go checkout Garmin's DK7 - having used almost every HTC pocket pc since the very first XDA, this is the first Flash that I've been happy with! The rom is speedy, great...

    Thread So many Roms...but only one Kaiser!!

    Guys, I've always had HTC phones, since the original XDA - back in those days there were perhaps only 3/4 cooked roms available and so the choice was fairly simple. I'm looking to flash my Kaiser with a rom that's speedy, feature packed and has something particularly snazzy about it!! I've had...

    Thread Time to move on perhaps?

    I've had HTC/XDA's for the past 7 years, starting with the basic XDA through to the XDA2, XDA2s, XDA Exec and currently the XDA Hermes...but they just ain't that cool anymore - I used to enjoy using them, they were original and the OS was swish but now they're slow, cumbersome and just not that...

    Thread So what do we think about IPhone Skinning?

    I want an IPhone but can't get one, so would like to turn my Hermes into something that resembles the OS/animations/smoothness, but from what I gather, most of the current mods merely change the Today screen with little otherwise effect? Am I right here or is there a mod yet that really changes...

    Guys, I've gone 'Black' v3.00 and love it, lightening quick compared to any other rom that I've tried so far. However I just cannot seem to get my MMS settings in there. Schaps's rom was the only rom I've flashed to that catered immediately for MMS with all settings included because it...

    Just flashed my Exec to the latest ROM version from the O2 website, since doing so the thing seems a bit nippier and the latest TomTom went on without problems!!
