Important notes:

1. If you want to say "Thanks!"

There are many ways to show your support to the developer. You can:

• Press the "Thanks" button.
• Hit the donation button and "buy me a beer".
• Share your opinion about my work and write some feedback in respective thread.
• Advertise my work to your friends.
• Rate my thread with 5 stars.

Every way of support is highly appreciated, but it's not expected!​

2. Sharing policy

This forum is about sharing. If you want to use any part of my work, please feel free to do it but remember about some simple rules:

• Inform me about using my work by sending me a message. You don’t need my permission, just inform me.
• Include link to my thread from where you took particular files.
• Give proper credits for what you used.
• When it comes to using my ROM as a base you are free to do it only if I don't have "Stock ROMs" thread available for particular device. If such thread exists, you are
  obligated to take ROMs from there instead. These threads with "Stock ROMs" are usually updated within 24 hours from the moment when I release my custom ROM.

Sharing is one thing, but please respect some areas of my work like:

• ROM name - "Android Revolution HD", "Android Revolution", "Revo HD", "AR HD" etc.
• Graphics used in my threads, especially head-banners designed exclusivity for me.
• Other parts of my work that are not supposed to be used by others without proper permission.

Please let me keep my threads design unique. I’m sure you can do something even better yourself!​

3. Support

If you have any issues or questions, please feel free to post them in the respective thread. Due to my commitments in real life I can't answer every PM, tweet or facebook post.
If you want to get the fastest and the best answer - ask the question in the thread. Every month I need to remove about 1.000 new messages from my XDA inbox. I’m sure it’s better if I spend this time cooking new ROMs.​

4. Signature banners for users

Due to the increasing number of users flashing my ROMs we introduced some time ago 3 special groups of members.

• Android Revolution HD Recognized User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by being active in my thread (or threads).
  Helping users to solve problems, answering questions or preparing threads with add-ons for Android Revolution HD are the most common ways to gain this rank. Just be active and we’ll contact you!
  
  
• Android Revolution HD Advanced User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by doing some amazing modification, application, theme etc. for Android Revolution HD.
  Creating simple bootanimation might not be enough, but you never know! Having Recognized User status before is not needed!
  
  
• Android Revolution HD Supporter – every user who shared some server space with us (with proper bandwidth) will get this banner. Please keep in mind we can't use DropBox shared folders.
  What we can use is minimum 20 GB of space and 10 Mbit upload speed. If you want to donate some server space to us, please contact me via private message.

Apart of those special banners, every user might use one of our amazing user banners collected in this thread.

Finally, thanks for using my work! I hope you will enjoy Android Revolution HD!

Ported ROMs section

--- User banners prepared by KID_1194, adsamcik, sigeltek & jotha ---

Q 1: After flashing Android Revolution HD my battery drains much faster. What can I do?
A: Please charge your battery to 100%, boot your device in ClockworkMod Recovery and go to Advanced ---> Wipe Battery Stats. Also see Question 7.
Also please read this ---> [GUIDE] Enlarge your battery life : an attempt to fix the battery drain
And this ---> [How to] Brilliant Battery Life 100% working!
For more details about wiping battery stats please read this

Q 2: My Premium Navigation doesn't work correctly. What should I do?
A: Your Premium Navigation may not work correctly for many reasons. Most of them are not ROM related. You can try the following things:
- reinstall your Locations under "Settings" ---> "Locations"
- remove /sdcard/.data/navigator/Data/Temporary from your SD card
- re-download Google Maps from the Android Market
- clear data from Google Maps in system software management

Q 3: When recording HD video, the playback of the clip keeps freezing. How to fix it?
A: This is probably SD card problem. Format your SD card (FAT32 recommended) to gain silky smooth playback.

Q 4: After I reboot my device, mp3 ring-tone is back to default. What should I do?
A: Go to Ringtones > Menu > More Ringtones > Create new ringtone > Select the one you want (Thanks to kill4l)

Q 5: Is there any alternative for SetCPU? I think it slows downy my phone.
A: You can application called No-frills. Remember to check "Allow on boot" option.

Q 6: After flashing Android Revolution HD my SD card is being mounted as ready only. What should I do?
A: Connect your SD card to your PC and do defragmentation process. If you still have some problems with SD card, please read this.
Mac users can use the repair function of the MacOS disk utility to solve the read only problem (Thanks to Calimero1205).

Q 7: My CPU load is all the time nearly 100% and in most part it's used by system. What is the reason of that high CPU usage and how can I fix it?
A: Delete your htcsense.com account. It takes A LOT of your battery and CPU usage.

Q 8: Do I need to wipe data partition when upgrading from old version of Android Revolution HD?
A: I always recommend wiping data partition but it's absolutely necessary only if I mention that in the changelog. But normally you can live without it.
Wipe data partition if you experience any issues.

Q 9: I have some strange issues with my ROM that nobody reported before. What should I do in first place?
A: In first place you should check, if the MD5 Checksum is correct. Then flash ROM again and see if the issue is gone. A lot of strange issues can be solved this way.

Q 10: I had SetCPU installed on Android Revolution HD, then I flashed new version of AR HD and SetCPU doesn't work any more. How to fix it?
A: Please reinstall SetCPU.

Q 11: I can't send/receive MMS or I can't connect with mobile data connection. How can I fix it?
A: Please check your MMS settings or mobile data connection APN settings.

Q 12: My phone got random freezes or reboots. How can I fix it?
A: Every CPU is different. It seems that your CPU doesn't like OC or UV (undervolt). Set your CPU to default 1GHz.
If it doesn't help, then you need to flash default kernel from the second post.

Q 13: When I listen to music from HTC stock player it accidentally pauses for short time and then keep playing.
A: Turn OFF fastboot in settings.

Q 14: My GPS signal is very weak or GPS is not working at all. How can I fix it?
A: There are some solutions:
1. You can download and install FasterFix to improve your signal strength.
2. You can download and install GPS Status & Toolbox to manage your GPS settings.
3. Turn off "Fast boot" under "Settings" ---> "Power" and reboot your phone.
4. Read this, this, this & this
5. [Trick] Speed Up Satelite Fix for GPS on Android

Q 15: My clock/weather widget doesn't show my location. How can I fix it?
A: Please clear data from Google Maps, Clock Widget, Weather, HTC weather sync provider and Weather Provider.

Q 16: My Quadrant score is not as high as on different ROM. What does it mean?
A: It means absolutely nothing. Benchmarks on Android System are more or less lottery and they are not showing the real system performance.
There are many settings that can force Quadrant to show more then 3000 points but it's faked performance, that actually can slow down your phone in some circumstances.
What I always emphasize is a real performance, the one you can feel under your fingers. Remember that I/O has some limit and surpassing it shows just a numbers without true ratio.
Also keep in mind that Quadrant has support for Android Gingerbread only in version 1.1.7 and higher.

Q 17: I have com.htc.bgc process force close few times a day. How can I fix it?
A: It's because you have removed HtcTwitter.apk (HTC Twitter application). Please restore it.

Q 18: My screen-lock sound and keypad sound while dialing numbers is very low. How can I fix it?
A: Download "Quick Settings" application from Android Market and check system volume slider.

Q 19: When I open up the call screen (where I see the recent calls and callers), the calls won't appear in the list. What to do?
A: Probably you are using 3rd party launcher. Remove the dialer shortcut and re-add it.

Q 20: My Wi-Fi doesn't reconnect automatically after boot. How to fix it?
A: Disable fastboot in settings or check this solution.

Q 21: Why my "4G" icon is gone from the status bar?
A: My ROMs are based on WWE HTC ROMs. It means that there is no "4G" icon but you have HSPA+ connection with "H" icon anyway.

​

You think you're addicted from flashing ROMs, checking forum the whole day and you feel like "Android" should be your second name? Well, here's something for fun

Okay, now I'm getting my world news from XDA. I had no idea this had happened until I read this. Something tells me I'm spending too much time on here!

Well i have some similar experience. I just found out my wife is pregnant for 6 months already... Lol.
And the first thing I asked was : When will you release it?

So I guess i spend to much time here also.
Still a had some spare time it seems. Otherwise the baby is not mine!

My wife is pregnant for 4 months, ETA October 22nd (her upload speed is not so good). If only I could do a nandroid backup of my current life to be able to restore it after

 

[Darkyy]

Very nice to see the first custom ROMs rolling out!
Thanks for your support! We all appreciate it!

 

[insty]

Indeed. Keep up the good work.

Let's get the ROMs rolling !

 

[sonydesouza]

Cool !! A rom custom !! Let's go !!

Thanks !!

 

[El_Nino9]

What do you need?
- HTC Desire HD S-OFF
- Recovery Clockwork from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9183483&postcount=6

why do you need s-off
if people flash recovery after they get permenant root using the
dd if=/sdcard/clockworks.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21

then they can flash it surely? and also once the full recovery is available from rom manager?

 

[Gig11gs]

comon cant wait

 

[dr.m0x]

Thanks for this.
Can I ask what has replaced Adobe Reader and QuickOffice please?

Also what is the task manager tweak?

S-OFF gives you "fastboot" which is now the easiest way to flash custom recovery, I think

Thanks for this.

Also what is the task manager tweak?

1. Doc2Go
2. It's task killer tweak, not task manager. I've changed Hidden app, Content provider and Empty app values into higher.

 

[jkoljo]

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't the hboot set write protection, so we need s-off to flash anyway?

Multilanguage means there will be polish too?

 

[mike1986.]

Oczywiście

 

[erezak]

Great info. Waiting for your ROM
Thank you.

Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

WRONG

s-off is just an engineering SPL which allows you to flash certain partitions. a very good tool if you mess up your phone to get it alive. but if flashing s-off goes wrong you end up with a brick

where as the wpx.ko file that scotty made is the file that switches of write protection to the nand. the s-off allows flashing of kendons boot.img which allows adb commands when the phone is on.

you can have permanent root and write access with just the wpx.ko file hence what paul has done with visionary (plus more)

 

[liorra3]

My first one to try on the DHD - Let's go, well done!
BTW: im wonder, he have rtl support ?

 

[jkoljo]

WRONG

Yeah, but there is a but. The original hboot sets wp, and now we have an engineering bootloader that does not enable wp on boot. The kernel module just allows temporary writing. It might be possible to make recovery disable wp I think, but that is a software developer's job. Do you know how scotty's module disables the wp?

By the way this topic is about a rom, not technical discussion. Let's continue elsewhere if you still want to.

 

[mike1986.]

Uploading ROM now. Stay tuned

EDIT:

Ok, ready to download. Have fun
