Otherwise you would have to install the origonal rom then upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone still on the origonal 1.5 rom can confirm this (Hold POWER + RED + MENU) Thanks for the guide in updating to 2.1. I followed thru all the stages and all went smoothly except when I try to install some apps onto the sd card, the phone dont seems to recognise the sd card eventhough my pc sees it. I did the apps2sd option in the guide. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ellia Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Why it is recommended to use to just the original HU ROM and not to apply the patch if I want to use a custom ROM? Are there any explanations about this? Can I just reflash the Pulse with the original HU ROM? ATM I'm using the fixed one. Maybe you can recommend me a custom ROM: At first it should be very stable and have no GPS or SMS receiving problems. Secondly a like the original style (but vanilla would be ok too). And last but not least a want a little bit more speed and the main reason is the I need Apps2SD for enough space. BTW I'm using a class 2 sd-card. Is this speed ok or should I buy a new and faster one? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks hi firstly all 2.1 roms have trouble recieving/sending sms, not sure about gps since i.dont use it but i havent heard any1 complaining about it. i can reccomend the flb rom as from what ive heard its the most stable and quickest and it supports a2sd, although i dont know much about a2sd this is probably ur best choice.and will be the rom i am going to be using just as soon as i get amon.ra patched. hope this helped and good luck edit: regarding the hu custo8msation pack, yes u can just reflash the 2.1 without the extra hu pack, and i too am using a class2 card 8gb which seems to be working fine for me.

GPS works fine The reason why installing the HU patch is not recommended is that it can lead to wifi issues when using a custom rom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPS works fine The reason why installing the HU patch is not recommended is that it can lead to wifi issues when using a custom rom I haven't experience any problems so far only the odd force closes. Wifi/Gps/BT seems ok and so is SMS. Really pleased with the 2.1 custom update, made the Pulse a much much better phone when it was running on stock 1.5. Now only if the battery life can improve though, had the phone since March 2010, battery not great lasting about a day, but recently, battery life took a dive, only getting 5 hours! I am ready to take the battery back to the store and see if I can get a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ellia Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I don't want to flash every week a new ROM on my pulse. Is there a custom ROM which is almost more than a beta snapshot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
