Yep. You solved your problem. Anytime a app is selected as default when given a choice, you have to follow those steps to undo default.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fleurdelisxliv:
you could just use home switcher for froyo and have three or four launchers and just choose that way its easy :D
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Does anyone else feel this way?

With my Droid, I proudly say "My Droid...". Heck, even with my Razr, it didn't seem awkward to occasionally say "My Razr".

But whenever someone asks me about the XOOM (Most of the time they're asking if it's the new iPad...*sigh*), I say "Oh, it's an Android tablet." or if I'm just mentioning it in conversation, I'll say something like "Let me grab my tablet and Google that." or what have you.

It's, obviously, totally different on the internet. :p

Admit it. XOOM is such an odd name for a device!
[Xoom General] eatonjb:
I call it my Tablet, or The Pad, or sometimes the Xoom

unfortunately because Android is not a single piece of hardware like the ipad with a HUGE name behind it. Its the fault of spreading your seed to many different manufactures.

and that is a minor issue, .. you can just call it , My Awesome Tablet that is soo much better then the iFail pad!..

lol.

note: I don't want to get any guff from calling it better then the iPad, it was a joke, lets leave it at that, not a debate! ;) kthxbai!
[Xoom General] Dareoth:
I kind of like the Xoom name. It's conveys speed, and is distinctive. And come on, feel more ridiculous than saying iPad? iPad? Just because they sold 15 million and spent a truck ton advertising, plus the free media Apple advertising, doesn't make it any less a weird name to say out loud.
[Xoom General] wynand32:
Yes, exactly. Heck, if you say ANY word enough times in a row it starts to sound ridiculous.

Try it: elephant elephant elephant elephant elephant elephant elephant elephant elephant

Seriously, I have no problem calling it the "Xoom."
[Xoom General] whitedragon33:
Agreed! I often call it my PADD, being the huge Star Trek geek that I am. :P
[Xoom General] ryan562:
Just call it the Stingray :)
[Xoom General] |mpulse:
Yup, I hate the name too! Actually, around the house with my wife I typically just call it Tabby or Tabitha - cheesy but better than Xoom!

Funny side note, I was in a hotel bar a few weeks ago doing some browsing when this woman suddenly ran over all excited, "Is that what I think it is?!?!", I paused and was like, "Well, what do you think it is?" (expecting she'd say iPad2) but instead she was like, "The X Oom!"

Part of me was impressed/pleased she knew it wasn't an iPad, the other part of me was embarrassed at her pronunciation of it! haha Even after I corrected her she kept saying it as if it were two words, "X Oom"
[Xoom General] kllrnohj:
Stingray is what I call it as well, much better name IMHO
[Xoom General] Droid4All:
I call it my ***** :D
[Xoom General] eatonjb:
The aPad? Just a guess
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
Haha too funny, i call it the xoom and say it proudly
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Lol.

I guess it'll just take some getting used to. I liked Stingray a lot better, but, meh. Maybe when the WiFi version hits the market, it will become more of a well know name and people will actually know what the heck it is.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Don't count on it.

I call my xoom the honey moto, I guess that's more ridiculous than xoom but whatever.

i call it a tablet. in the end, the xoom isn't gonna have lasting appeal. what will have appeal is the OS, honeycomb, android OS.

My wife calls mine my manpad...
[Xoom General] ChongoDroid:
I call it a gPad ... google pad I guess. Stingray is pretty bad ass
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
I actually think that the "iPad" sounds terrible, makes me think of tampons
[Xoom General] nbowes:
I have no problem with the Xoom name, but usually just refer to it as my tablet. My 4-year-old, however, after seeing the Andy Android on the wallpaper figured it was a robot and now asks to play with the "Bot Screen."

[Wildfire Android Development] EchoVelocity:
Hey guys,

As you may well know, the Wildfire isn't the only phone that has been put through "HTC's All Purpose Anti-Hack Machine". The HTC Thunderbolt is massivly locked down as well, however I just read an article that details how to root it already. Now I'm no expert, so hence I'm posting it here so that others can have a look. Is this worth anything?

ORIGINAL ARTICLE: http://www.androidguys.com/2011/03/20/htc-thunderbolt-rooted/

*EDIT*

New article found that doesn't mention emmc - any better?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...bolt-instructions-by-team-andirc-v1-20110318/
[Wildfire Android Development] SrKlein:
htc wildfire has no emmc, so the exploit isnt valid for it
[Wildfire Android Development] EchoVelocity:
Ok, was just a thought anyway.

Sent from my HTC Wildfire
[Wildfire Android Development] SrKlein:
i had this idea too, but i decided to ask the ones who developed this exploit, if it could be possible to port it to a wildfire, buth they explained me there was no way, as our phone hasnt eMMC
[Wildfire Android Development] EchoVelocity:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...bolt-instructions-by-team-andirc-v1-20110318/

That is very similar to the first article, however it doesn't mention eMMc? Would this help anyone at all?
[Wildfire Android Development] ralle.gade:
I doubt

well in my eyes this guide just looks like the downgrading we already are able to do, problem is that it will not touch the Hboot at all... and that's where the main problem is because of the new Nandlock.
[Wildfire Android Development] hans3103:
The only way is an xtc clip..... I can say it works very good and easy. If someone is interested in an in the Netherlands...
[Wildfire Android Development] EchoVelocity:
Yes I know all about the clip. I'm just looking into how they rooted the Thunderbolt as it has similar lockdown's on it to the Wildfire.
[Wildfire Android Development] SrKlein:
we all know about the xtc clip, why people keep on spamming about it? theres already a thread all about xtc clip unlocking the NAND!
[Wildfire Android Development] hans3103:
I am just giving another possibility...........and i can not know what other people know
[Wildfire Android Development] bittu4u4ever:
hey anyone tried this trick on wildfire???
[Wildfire Android Development] EchoVelocity:
I haven't tried it yet because I can't afford to mess up my wildfire. Also, the misc.img might be specific to the Thunderbolt.

Sent from my HTC Wildfire
[Wildfire Android Development] bittu4u4ever:
Hmmm u might be right.. I too can't afford to mess up mine...
[Wildfire Android Development] EchoVelocity:
Can anyone try this out? Or will it just not work at all?
[Wildfire Android Development] ralle.gade:
sure

Yeah sure I'll try it out later. And yes the misc.img is specific to the device, as I said before these steps looks a lot like the downgrading process we already have achieved, sadly as I said it doesn't affect the Hboot.
[Wildfire Android Development] EchoVelocity:
If you try it out make sure to tell us where you end up! Perhaps we can still downgrade the hboot.

Sent from my HTC Wildfire
[Wildfire Android Development] ionut.micu:
We spoked about something similar here. Unfortunately we didn't manage to downgrade.

The method used to root Thunderbolt is similar to the method used to downgrade Desire Z. I think if someone with more knowledge will help we might be able to adapt this methods to wildfire.
[Wildfire Android Development] ralle.gade:
Already started looking into a lot of methods which could be possible... looking at exploits for the fs security atm
[Wildfire Android Development] EchoVelocity:
By "fs" do you mean filesystem? And this method *should* be adaptable I think although don't hold me to that.

Sent from my HTC Wildfire
[Wildfire Android Development] ralle.gade:
Yes by fs I mean filesystem. But also known as nand lock
[Wildfire Android Development] kuceens007:
did someone tryed method like on dhd?? trick the rom version and then it allows to full downgrade !!!
[Wildfire Android Development] EchoVelocity:
I don't know about how they did it on the Desire HD. Can anyone clarify what he just said and whether this is possible to do on wildfire? I assume not, since otherwise it would've been done by now.
[Wildfire Android Development] kuceens007:
same words they said about dhd,but we are downgraded now.

I m talking about changing version via adb to older than your desired one,so you can downgrade officially
[Wildfire Android Development] EchoVelocity:
But changing the rom means that it is no longer signed by HTC, so hboot will not flash it.

[Wildfire Android Development] kuceens007:
Please have a look on dhd's downgrade thread,then you will understand what exactly i m trying to tell ;)

If anyone is looking for the solution in the future;
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Why would you want to boot to HSPL if all you want to do is flash a new ROM? All you need to do is boot to MAGLDR and either go to USB Flashed or AD Recovery then flash the ROM? If you want to boot to HSPL make sure you hold down the volume button then power on. :)
[Droid 2 Global General] QuarkGluonSoup:
The Droid X, Milestone etc bootloaders were not actually unlocked. It was a hoax. http://www.androidcentral.com/motorola-bootloader-still-encrypted-developer-comes-clean

I don't see why so many are willing to put up with this. There are plenty of other good android phones out there. As long as Motorola is going to fight this, there will never be a truly safe way to flash custom roms/kernels on droid phones, and devs simply aren't going to invest the time necessary to develop much.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dvigue:
why are there hardly and ROMS made for the inspire? it is a great phone, but does not seem to get my attention by devs?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Now that you're in the right section :) there are lots of inspire roms. The Inspire is a Desire HD at heart, creating specific roms for the inspire is double work for devs as the desire HD roms work just fine, especially since the source was released. You have lots of options in the inspire and desire HD development sections.

Sent from Desire HD or Inspire 4G or whatever this thing is called via premium XDA app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dvigue:
so could i install anything i see on the desire hd forums?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
You sure can. I'm not sure about the miui but everything else is good to go, kernels too. Most roms even include the sound fix these days so no worries there either.

It's a "new" platform just released. Even though it's similar to the Desire. Going to take a bit. I had my captivate for 6 months and they're just now getting into some nice looking ROMs..expect the same out of Inspire , though I'm seeing faster footwork here.

Hi,

Im on darky 9.3 and very happy with the rom but Ive massive gps issues...

It takes about 5min to fix, sometimes more, as soon as Im start to move (car, feet) the signal stops at the last point...

In copilot Im gettin only 6 sat and no one is about the half...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] alsheron:
I recommend you try docs rom based on JP8 and the Q1 modem. My GPS is great now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonny_ftm:
On some units, the precision of GPS is poor and often can't be fixed enough by software. Only 2 solutions:

- RMA for a new built unit

- make the hardware antena fix suggested in this forum (search here for the fix)

On bad units, despite all firmware/software hacks, precision is bad. It will be ok in rural areas but will jump streets in urban areas with high roads density.

Probably, the soldering on antenna varies from unit to unit on early models, explaining why for some it's ok and others not. Also, many live and try GPS in areas with lower roads density, giving them the impression of a good track despite a bad precision of the GPS. Also, tons of posts with only test of the fix speed. The fix speed was solved enough on some ROMs, but the precision will never be enough on high density urban areas
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Well assuming that its not hardware I would try a different modem. I was on darkys rom and had a very bad GPS with the JQ1 modem but JVE works very well for me.

The fix on the gps test programm works fine an im gettin 6-8 in use wie 18-32db...

But as soon as Im mooving the connection is loosing...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Auzy:
The problem is that GPS is more complicated than that.. Just because it says "5-10 accuracy", how do you know that's true? You need tracks to work that stuff out.

Originally, there were a few people here who grabbed GPS status and pointed out their "GPS was perfect". But, after pressuring them for ages, they either admitted that their tracks were horrible (but found excuses), or disappeared. There was one guy though who I saw with a decent track, but I suspect he might have used a bluetooth GPS (I have never seen his results replicated)..

Test using tracks, preferably using a second GPS as reference (such as a fitness GPS). Number of satelites and claimed accuracy means very little, because satellites move around. How do you know if there were maybe a maximum of 11 the first time, and not 16 the second? Hence why you need a reference.. So you can compare the tracks accurately.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
As you have said before .

Post was really only a reference .

My GPS does what i want tracks i return are good enough for my use as is location etc .

My tracks have been posted before in the GPS thread .

Next time i use tracks i might remember to post them . But you ignored the last ones i posted .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] wudini:
I played last night a little bit around with my gps because i had the same problem.

I found a code to get in the gps service menu *#*#3214789650#*#*.

I found the SUPL/CP Settings and there is the supl.google.com server, i remembered i had some gps problems on my Nokia E71 too, long time ago.

On my Nokia i fixed it easily with the supl.nokia.com server, and i changed from google to the nokia server and now i get the gps fix in a few seconds.

I tested it about 6 times, always deleted the gps cache, works for me.

Maybe you can test it and give a reply, you dont need to reboot your phone, it works immediately.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] audino:
I didnt made a sense the fix is quite quick on both but as far as im moving the signal losts... On the google navigation im not able to navigat on copilot it works much much better but it still jumps around... And on copilot the screen seems to lag a bit:-(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wudini:
Ohh, i understand. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CaraMuuu:
For me, the first Gingerbread modem (JVE) solved all my GPS problems. I even compared it with my Garmin Nuvi and they had same precision and speed/refresh rate, the only difference is that the Galaxy needed 2 or 3 min without data connection to lock satellites, while the Garmin only needed 30 secs. I can't complain
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raydar670:
I finally upgraded to a g2 and my g1 has just been lying around all lonely. I flashed the COS ROM but it's a little too laggy. So it's back to cm6 and I'm struggling to find a use for it. I am going to be using it without a sim so a rom that wouldn't show the "no sim card" text on the lock screen would be nice.

Sent from my stock G2
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
Finding a ROM that will not tell you that you are missing the SIM probably not going to happens. But you never know someone might decide to write a code for it. Suggestion on that is to find an old SIM (maybe from a friend) from any vendor (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc...) and put it in. That is what I did to one of my old phone so it does not tell me that there is no SIM card.

BTW, I was using CM6 (slow and sluggish) on my G1 and after it crashed on me last weekend. I finally found a good ROM that is fast with G1.

It's SuperAosp DM 2.8.2 with 15MB boot. My total interal memory after initial flash is about 90MB of memory, after loading up a hand full apps (IE: facebook, gmail, etc...) I still have about 82.80MB left. My G1 still running very fast.

If it would have been CM6, my phone would be crawling by now, and if lucky about 20MB of memory.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleeepy2:
I just deleted the phone.apk.

I got a bunch of FC's when I first did it but after a reboot it was fine.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
ROFLOL! Sorry I just have to laugh on the 2 year old with the 911. Beleived me, I know that feeling. Wait until your 2 year old call you at the office (by himself/herself). ;)

BTW! What is your 2 year old doing with the phone anyway? :eek: That's a bad sign to have them start early.

Anyway, I never have thought of that. If that what you are recommeding to raydar670.

@ raydar670 - If that is so, backup the phone.apk first before you delete it. Just in case you need to use it as a spare.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raydar670:
