Root [ROM] Mobster Rom HD/Lite - 031513

It all matters on how compatible it is Porting is hard but its even harder when your porting from a device with different Hardware

True I put out a post trying to get devs to help out (as you can read I pretty much failed)

Porting a GSM rom deleted my recovery >.> I deleted the wrong partition and labeled at system...turns out it was my recovery!

That sucks but the great thing with HTC is that it is that their phones are pretty much impossible to brick haha.

2 Off topic questions but...
1-Can you run programs on that Mobz?
2-I have Unity through the Terminal Method and it's distorted as you can see below but is there a way to correct it?

So found out something interesting to some people. The stock keyboard doesn't allow me to save words and edit my custom dictionary. When I double tapped a word, it crashed.

If you have this installed
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...iY29tLnpsLnByb3ZpZGVycy51c2VyZGljdGlvbmFyeSJd

It will default to the Kii keyboard dictionary and allow you to edit and save. This must be because Kii keyboard is essentially a retooled version of the stock 4.2 keyboard. I don't know if this requires you to have Kii keyboard installed, but I know you can use the stock keyboard with the Kii plugin.

This problem has been mentioned in this thread a few times. I've been content waiting for Mobster to patch this up in the next release, but for all I know, this is the route he'll take anyway.

I installed it, but it doesn't seem seamless to me. When I touch the word to save it, I then go to the patch, and can save the word. The very next time I type that word, and touch it, I am given the option to save it again. In addition, the word is underlined in red when I type it, so the system still thinks it's misspelled., so the keyboard isn't fully using this patch for me.

I must admit, I've only done it with one word so far...I'll keep playing with it some.

Hypothetically of coarse... What would happen if you flashed this ROM with s-on

Assuming you are on the correct hboot version and using either 4ext recovery with smartflash, or booting recovery through fastboot to flash the rom, it would most likely work.

If it requires a downgraded hboot and you are s-on, then you will get stuck in a bootloop after flashing. Not a huge deal as you can restore a backup or flash another rom, but if it requires a lower hboot version, then you have to be s-off in order to downgrade the hboot before flashing.

This from doesn't specify an boot version and what's smartflash??
The rom doesn't display your hboot version. You see that by booting into your bootloader. Do a battery pull then hold volume down+power to get to bootloader screen. It will show your hboot version at the top.


it should work perfectly fine but make sure to enable smart flash in 4ext...
it is a setting that can be found under the tools menu when in recovery..

Yep, what he said. With smart flash option enabled in the tools menu, I think at the very bottom, it should work fine.

I initially installed this on 1.57 j bear. Then I switched to 1.50 j bear and it works.

Does anyone have an issue with USB Mounting when connected to a PC? When I mount in recovery through 4EXT I can access my SD through my PC but not through the phone's interface when it actually asks me if I want to use it as a mass storage device.

I have not had that issue. Does your pc detect your device when in in disk mount mode?
