So let me get this straight... you seem to think that all devs should make ROMs with what you want? Smh.
[Epic 4G Android Development] noobnl:
We need to end data corrruption on new roms and rfs should be on by default, ext4 with jourlising on by default we need to make sure that people know the risk of disabling it like reverting back to ext2

I will talk to dameon today

Say NO to ext2 like behavior in the kernel

[Epic 4G Android Development] dzuchowski:
what i am saying is that if you are talking about what should be in a rom (developing) then it belongs under developing... if you are talking about transflash cards and the best class of transflash cards then it belongs under q&a. it's not hard to under stand. So what is so hard to understand folks? Are people really this insane?

You still have it wrong. Just because you talk about development does not mean this is the right section. Only if you are actually developing something does it in this section. There is a reason they moved your last post.

Another thing, you should learn what Sprint ID is. It is not going to give you a uniform user interface. Our phones will still have touchwiz and sprint ID just gives you an easy way to download groups of apps and wallpapers that are of interest to you. It really has very little to do with the user interface.

[Wildfire General] Veon11:
It's basically all in the title...

As it is, the wildfire is nor "really" rooted, as there is no way to write to the \system, thus making it impossible to do certain things (ie installing custom hosts file).

If Sunaabh does not do it, is there any way to obtain that WITHOUT using a shell? I've been searching, but I found at least 4 different procedures which claimed to work, but ultimately didn't.

Thanks!
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Roms don't make phones get s-off, you need to wait for alpharev or get a xtc clip
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
And you can do everything even with s-on using adb and recovery...

E.g. just push the new hosts file using adb or use a flashable zip

so its not impossible.
[Wildfire General] devil-strike:
Is not working if the system is read only, also zipfiles must be signed, and no1 have the Signature, of so you also can install recovery rom.
[Wildfire General] Veon11:
Thanks to everyone but... this just adds to my confusion. So is it possible or not to flash zip files with s-on?. I would not want to use ADB unless it's absolutely necessary... :confused:
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Of course it is possible to flash ZIP files using S-ON. Majority of the people here are on S-ON systems and still use Custom ROM's, Flashable ZIPs for additional functionality, kernels, radios and stuff.

Oh, and just as an FYI, I would advice you to get over your paranoia of ADB and try it out. It's an extremely useful component.
[Wildfire General] Veon11:
OK, thanks a lot! Guess I'll have to give ADB a try. :p
[Wildfire General] Gurdjieff:
So, i can flash a rom with ADB, with s-on? Do i need temp root? What is the method exactly? Thy
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Refer this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824396
[Wildfire General] Gurdjieff:
Ok, sorry, this is not so clear for me yet.

If i want to flash a custom rom i need a custom recovery?

But adb show device offline in fastboot (due the new hboot?) so i stuck here.

I found this for Aria, but maybe

http://thetechjournal.com/electronics/mobile/how-to-installing-custom-rom-on-unrooted-htc-aria.xhtml
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Are you on official Froyo release (Or, in another way, HBOOT 1.01)? If that's the case, and, it is on S-ON, then, it is not possible to root.

As for the Aria process, its a bit vague I think. Basically, what he is doing there is rooting, but, I don't think that process works on the Wildfire's new Hboot.

If you are on the older Hboot, just follow the guide step by step I linked above. Its foolproof.
[Wildfire General] Gurdjieff:
Ok then i misunderstood you, i thought you talked about that we could flash a rom without root on official 2.2 too.

Anyway thank you for the help
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Yes, that's what I thought. Since this topic starts with S-OFF, that is why I said you can install Custom ROMs on official 2.2.1. Not on S-ON systems.

Anyway, glad its all clear now. :)
[Captivate General] rockingx10:
Hi guys Rogers is getting the captivate next week is it worth the switch?
[Captivate General] nickm50:
Rogers has had the captivate for almost a year?

I don't understand your question.
[Captivate General] rnewton01:
I think he means rogers is getting the nexus s next week. Wondering if its worth the switch from captivate.
[Captivate General] rockingx10:
Lol that's right
[Captivate General] rnewton01:
I've wondered the same thing. I bought my cappy off contract and now have an upgrade choice. Dont think its worth using my upgrade. Gonna wait for something better later (sgs2? )
[Captivate General] rockingx10:
Ya I got mine week ago so I have option to return it since there is so many problems and battery life I don't like.
[Captivate General] krazyphire:
I'd say get it. It has native gingerbread and a front facing camera. And Google support so you know it will get updates on time! :)
[Captivate General] rnewton01:
All the great roms on this forum have made my phone enjoyable. If you aren't into flashing custom roms and all that, you probably should take it back. But dont get the nexus s. I'd say wait and se what the xperia arc reviews are like. That should be launching next month. Looks like a nice phone, except the locked bootloader.
[Captivate General] rnewton01:
But if you are looking for a more customizable phone, get the nexus s.
[Captivate General] rockingx10:
Ya ibhave x10 not much fun cause of lock bootloader and my cappy running di11is rom
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
If you have an upgrade, wait for something that is significantly better than the captivate. The Nexus S is almost the same phone with some minor differences... We'll have GB eventually anyway.
[Captivate General] rnewton01:
but what I think he means is that he can return his captivate because he just got it. Then buy nexus s next week. I'd suggest doing that if possible. My 2 cents anyways
[Captivate General] rockingx10:
Lol thank you and also thanks for translating. You read my mind haha
[Captivate General] clemmie:
Nexus S seems to have a locked bootloader(as mentioned), but another strike against it for me is no card slot: you are essentially stuck with 16GB, which should be enough for most people but it's nice to have to option to expand. Add to that an inability to shoot HD video and a less-flexible camera software and the Captivate still has the edge. You'd be better off holding out for some of the juicier dual-core whizbangs coming out this summer.
[Captivate General] QuarkGluonSoup:
Captivate already has GB, through CM7.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
you and many other people need to be corrected (your sig included)

CM7 is NOT stock 2.3.3

it is built off the stock but MODIFIED. it is not stock gingerbread. its is CM's mod of gingerbread.

and on top of that it is still beta.
[Captivate General] mswirski:
I would wait for something better than the captivate.

The nexus S really isn't much better overall then the captivate, and has some major downsides.

If you just got the captivate and the question is whether to return it, then it depends what you need. For me the deal breaker is no SD card slot, and since I store all my music on my phone, I need the extra storage. The Nexus S on the other hand, has better long-term support, if you consider that google still updates the Nexus 1.
[Captivate General] squarooticus:
The Captivate has enough problems that I would not buy one again, especially given that it is almost a year old and there are much better, newer phones. That said, I am not in a hurry to upgrade because I already went through the pain of having the TIB replaced and the remaining problems (no front-facing camera, no led indicator, mediocre battery life) are not bad enough to justify blowing a bunch of money before the end of my contract.
[Captivate General] mswirski:
I think thats really what it comes down to. Sure the cappy has problems, but most are fixed, all that is left are any hardware you want which it lacks (like a front-facing camera). Under these conditions, the phones on the market right now just aren't appealing enough. We're just starting to see tegra and dual core devices, so certainly waiting a year or more for these devices to become the standard is a good idea. Right now the cappy is a high-end phone, and the dual cores currently aren't much better. Waiting until there is a real difference is key.

I've got a year and a half before I can upgrade, but I know by the time that rolls around, there will be some very good devices on the market. And honestly, captivate development isn't slowing. we're getting 2.3, and it's smooth as butter on our device.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
poeple forget to try things and go by features and specs, you should really try a couple phones before you settle, i had buyers remorse when i got the cappy because i missed some htc features like fm radio and a good set of widgets, but i had buyers remorse when i got the aria because the screen and battery life sucked and the gps was no better than the captivate. there is no perfect phone but the reason i stick to the captivate is the call quality is excelent, i always had trouble with the iphone 3g with hearing calls and the aria was worse, there may be better phones than the captivate when making calls but i wont accept anything less and i hear that even high end htc phones are not as good as the cappy.

the inspire is a nice set of features and is more likely to get a netflix app, also the graphics processor is up to par, much better than the droidx/2. and the camera is great, very sharp and high contrast. big step up from the evo and droid increadible, it has hspa+ and fm radio but if the call quality sux and the phone is not comfortable to hold or in your pocket do you want it,? i think the desire z and desire hd are great devices but wouldn't buy either one or their us varients.

the atrix is impressive but the construction although rugged is ugly and sloppy. there are big gaps on the back cover around ports. then it has motoblur that's a no go for me right there. the cool accessories are expensive enough not to even consider. the laptop dock is more expensive than a netbook, no thanks! ill just buy a netbook and connect to my phone with other means like bluetooth and wifi. with a little knowhow a netbook and some software you can get the same functionality of that dock and alot more for less money. there is no practicality it is more to showcase the power and browsing capabilites of the tegra 2 chipset. the real world performance is not there, the higher resolution screen slows down the frame rates but doesnt improve clarity to any significant amount, the colors are not as vivid as even other lcd screens and everything looks dull. a galaxy s can get better frame rates while gaming and look better doing it.

the screen may have more readable text though. the fall back of this generation of samoled screens is the screen door effect that makes small text difficult to read. it may not be an issue on the samoled+.

there isn't much else on contract in america yet. i think the captivate is still a great phone. but may become obsolete shortly. the nexus is also great but may last longer with third party developers and get better software support. i hope the market has more to offer in the near future im having a hard time recommending anything right now.
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
Its within 30 days... gets to return it.
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
I wouldn't get a Nexus S - its pretty much a neutered captivate running GB. No external SD Card is the killer for me. That and the curved glass display.

If you have an upgrade coming I'd wait and see what is coming out in the spring/summer. The Captivate is still a decent device all its "undocumented features" notwithstanding.

I was thinking of getting the 4G HTC phone.. but now that I hear that for the first time HTC has locked their device - uh uh I don't want to touch it now.

And... although I haven't had issues with Motorola phones in the past... I'll pass on the Atrix.

Going to have to wait and see what else pops up out there since my upgrade doesn't happen for a few more months :)
[Captivate General] Vik_92_Sandhu:
Yeah I think if you read in these forums too much you will get the impression that the captivate is a bad phone or something. People really forget how nice the captivate is. 1Ghz hummingbird processed, 512 MB ram, super amoled display, and much more. You would be hard pressed to find any phone on the market to better it in specs other then the dual core route. The captivate is an amazing device!
[Captivate General] viny2cool:
I would go with Pure Google experience....aka Nexus S...but X10 arc looks promising too,..

if I'd buy new phone, i will go with Sgs2...no other phones come up to my expectation...:p
[Captivate General] saquibs2004:
What's wrong with it? I've noticed that the problems are in all android phones. Google still hasn't added hardware acceleration and CPU spikes to 100% all the time.

Not really. CM7 is actually more close to the original Gingerbread while Samsung stock Gingerbread is a modified version of Gingerbread.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franciscojavierleon:
there's a way to factory reset when turning on the phone, i think it's power+volume down to get the recovery menu, search the forums. you could also flash the leaked beta firmware. again, search
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] softlikerose:
hmmm very useful tips .. i think if any send instruction step by step its will be better for us ..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katinatez:
To do a hard reset on the Atrix, you power off phone- then press power button down at the same time holding the volume rocker down. Continue clicking the volume rocker down until you see a message on the top left screen that says recovery- then click up on the volume rocker. You will see an android with a exclamation in a triangle on your screen. At this point tap the bottom right corner of screen then you will see some blue text on the top left corner of screen. Scroll using the volume button down to wipe data/ reset then click up on the volume. It will take about 5 minutes. After just log into motoblur account if you still have that. Hope this was helpful.

...

I want to Flash/Install different ROM on my phone but I don't have 3 button recovery... I also believe I will need to root it? Not sure if I've read correctly...

I'm guessing I first need to get the 3 button recovery working? Do I need to download something for this? Will I need to root the phone before this step, or afterwards?

Then do I use Odin (1.3) to install the new ROM?

I have downloaded the Android SDK (for adb), a fix file for the 3 Button recovery, Odin 1.3. Is there anything else I will need to carry out all of the above?

Very grateful for any help.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zer0_Cool:
This first happened on GSB 1.9, then I wiped and flashed the newest version and still got this same error. Wiped and flashed gingerTazz and it happened again.

The problem seems to be when rebooting the phone. After a fresh wipe/flash/formatted sd card this still happens

The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Obviously I did some research and found a few different answers, but my real concern is why this is still happening after reflashes/wipes/switching roms, and it's always after a reboot. The phone shows no service and can't connect to service, but has had no problems 2 days prior until I had to turn it off.

I've also tried wiping dalvik cache before rebooting, wiping dalvik and fixing uid mismatches, and wiping data+dalvik. Still happens, anyone know what the deal is?

(this is all on gingerbread roms, so I guess I'll flash a froyo one in the meantime, but this just recently started happening, and i've been on 2.3 since the roms started rolling out.)

It runs fine after that. I've tried tweaking some settings but it doesn't seem to go away. Didn't experience this on a non-sense rom. Anyone with help on that?

2. Also, I noticed that if you open the keyboard when in the home screen, it moves the entire screen up with it. Is it possible to not move the screen up? It causes problems when I'm in a messenger and press the home button with the keyboard open because the entire screen flickers. Not much of a problem, just didn't experience this before either.
