[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Palingenesis:
I'm loving this theme! I tried installing it but got an error so I'm thinking it needs ported. One of the members on their thread said I needed RA recovery and after searching Google, I don't RA is available for G2. So can somebody port it? Its an awesome theme!! If not port it, do you know of a way to get it to work on G2?

This thread has information on how to port the theme.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iMikeyy:
So I am a little new to the Android hacking scene, but I have most of what I need to know figured out.

My friend has an Inspire, and I loved the HTC Sense and the layout that it had, so I bought myself an Incredible. It was almost the same, but I really wanted mine to be as close to hers as possible. So I've been looking for ROMs that have the new sense version, and I've found a few that seem to work pretty well, like the ported version of the Desire (I believe it is). I also tried on of the Incredible S that was ported over, however that didn't work that well. The question I have is, are there any fully working ones? Ones with minimal bugs, and ones where the camera works?

I also have used the Warm Z rom which has the updated sense, however I am not a fan of the theme/skin that is has. Is there a way to change that? I do like that ROM, but I love the original sense layout.

Thanks for anybody who can help.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] qipengart:
Wow, webOS is rather good and it kicks the butt in battery life/management over my iPhone 4 and Android phones!

Why is this?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Jive Turkey:
My pre- lasts twice as long as my G2. I also leave bluetooth and Wi-Fi on on my pre-, and turn these off on my G2.

I can think of two reasons why:

1) Hardware isn't as power-hungry on the pre-. Particularly the smaller, lower-res screen and the slower CPU.

2) Better app management in WebOS. On Android, pressing the back button doesn't always close an app. I've used every app manager I can find and they don't always do it either. Some apps just always run in the background. On the other hand, some apps won't stay open either. I haven't used any process/task/services managers on WebOS, but it seems to me that I don't need to. When you close an app it stays closed.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] maliedoo:
This is the one thing I hate on Android. Apps running in the background for no particular reason. This is what I loved on the WebOS, once I threw the app off the screen it was done, not so with android....so irritating.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] shahm0nsterr:
I used to have a pre plus and I loved the fact that while being a multitasking beast, you could still choose to have no applications running.

Download autokiller memory optimizer.

It is not a task manager. It changes the memory levels at which the android system automatically kills background apps. It doesn't simply kill tasks like task managers do. (When using a task manager, the apps start up again and cause battery drain)

You can set the values to a high level. In this case, android will automatically kill background apps when memory dips below a certain level.

The application does require root.

My Pre- sucked down battery worse than any phone I have owned. It would last 12hrs in freaking standby with practically no use. My wifes was like that too. I overclocked and got about 6 lol. I call bs. Loved webOS but the Pre hardware sucked. WebOS was realeased unfinished also. Ill wait for the Pre4, because the 3 is already behind.

BTW the battery life on my wife's and my Epic 4g battery kinda sucks too, but not as bad, even OC'ed.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] vbetts:

I had a pre plus and my battery life sucked ass dude. I don't know what kind of Frankenstein pre you have but my droid incredible easily lasts about 5 times as long. My pre would die in 5 hours on standby.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mjb413:
So one week into having my incredible, it drops on the sidewalk (2days before my rugged case came in) and the glass cracked/shattered. the lcd is still completely intact. I was looking at this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00424O7JK/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A3MB8KL7VKZGWY . And was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. I have replaced other screens in other electronic devices, but was looking for any tips specific to the inc or any recommendations on a replacement glass.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Eirikr88:
I bought mine off ebay and swapped it out. My opinion is to spend the money and buy the whole front housing. Removing the broken glass from the front housing was a MAJOR pain. If you are insistant, make sure you have a good straight razor and flathead screw driver for removing the sticky residue. Head to the local hardware store and get some double-sided tape. If you look in the Epoxy area, i found some double sided rubber material, like what they use for sticking pamphlets together, only a lot stronger. If you dont get it sealed real well, be prepared for lint to get between the screen and LCD. That is the major problem i ahve on mine. Like i said, definitely worth the money to buy the full front housing.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mjb413:
Thanks for the advice. I saw on some videos what a pain it was to get the old glass and adhesive out, but the cheapest I could find the glass with housing already attached was $99 vs $28 for the glass. I wish I would've seen your post prior to ordering. Oh well, we shall see. Thanks also for the advice on the double sided tape. I was looking at it online, but didn't thing to look in just a local harware store for it. I think i'm going to try some medical adhesive remover for the old glue, the only problem is I'm going to have to be really careful around the four buttons on the bottom. It is nice to see that someone has done it successfully though.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] DustinBooyah:
You can get the glass and the bezel seperate, but make sure the bezel has adhesive on the entire surface or else you'll get dust in the screen... I fixed mine though and it looks great. Ill post pics later

Also i have 1 problem, my volume up button is stuck and when i turn my phone on, it vibrates 3 times and the orange light just flashes. is there a way to sort this out?

Since you want to send it to repair, ask them to repair the "stuck" volume button problem.

Here is also a little shorter version from jkoljo's thread (http://xdaforums.com/show...php?t=857537):

"To go back to S-ON:

•Flash stock ROM (RUU)

•Temproot using Visionary

•Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)

•Enjoy your factory-state phone"

Was your phone branded when you got it?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rawdi:
i dont know if it was. how do i know if it was? please help me. i love my DHD too much for it to turn into a coaster. if i send it back to tmobile, even though i have rooted it, does it void the warranty?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rawdi:
nothing, i have the leedroid rom and what i did was a restart as it was playing up a bit. when i did the restart, the 3 vibrates started and the orange light started to flash. i went in to CWM and did a key test and the volume up button did not respond so i take it is stuck. the way that i go into CWM was i plugged in my charger and the CWM comes up. i really dont know what i can do. also i dont want tmobile to know that i rooted my DHD as i heard it voids the warranty. any ideas on what i can do?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawks556:
I meant how did you flash it? Did you have to use a goldcard etc? Did your phone have any t-mobile logos anywhere (eg bootanimation) when it was running stock rom? If not then you can do this:

- Flash stock ROM (RUU http://xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/RUU_A....140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe)

- Temproot using Visionary

- Use my tool (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537), do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID, should be T-MOB005 for t-mobile uk)

Above steps were provided by jkoljo
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawks556:
Also messing with the software shouldn't really void the warranty because the defective volume button is solely a physical fault. There could ofcourse be a dispute of somekind, but in the end they have no right to refuse warranty service.

This could though become o problem if you have any software related warranty issues in the future.

On my previous phones SlingPlayer Mobile rotated when I changed the landscape view. Now the view is fixed. This is a problem when charging the phone due to the location of the micro usb slot.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
yes, the ebay one is for a device that already supports USB host so will provide the power needed to host a USB device, and will not work with the hd2.

The xda one is a very clever workaround to get some usb host functions working on a non usb hosting device, that may just about support a usb keyboard and a memory stick, and no...............

.........it almost certainly wont.

You could always take the sim out of your 3g modem and use it in your phone, , not ideal but,.,,,

[Vibrant Android Development] Poser:
I like to tweak my ROMs before a flash. i.e. make changes to /system apps; framwork tweaks... etc.

However, whenever I try to replace a kernel zImage or modem binary(using 7z, so as not open archive), I get stuck at a bootloop.

I can replace .apks and .pngs no problem using this method.

Can zImage and .bin be replaced as well? Does redbend also need to be copied? Since .bin and zImage reside in same folder in ROM... which redbend to use if needed?

Thank you?
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
Whenever I use a new kernel in Loki, or test one personally, I use the version of redbend that the dev included with their kernel initially. Modem does not seem to matter. Are you using a kernel that is meant for the version of Android that matches your rom? If you want to, specifically, what are you using?
[Vibrant Android Development] d33dvb:
This is interesting to me as well, as I did not know you could flash a zip that had been added to, so can you briefly explain how this is done? I would much rather inject my apps than do the titanium backup dance.

I also noticed that SGS Kernel flasher flashes the zImage by simply copying it, and rebooting.

If you are about to tell me I can manipulate my FS to add anything i want, in an update.zip, then sir, I love you.

BTW, if its a simple explanation, whats the redbend file do?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Exactly what Br1cK'd said. Use the redband that's with the kernel. If pulling the kernel from a rom and a modem from a different one same deal. Also be careful which kernels you use ie: right kernel for phone and version of Android.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
No sir it is not quite that simple. Proper settings have to be in the update script for everything to install properly. Replacing one file for another of the same name usually works and some files can be added but system apps and additional folders need to be in the update script.
[Vibrant Android Development] Poser:
Br!ck'd, fan of your work and EDT as a whole... great dev team! It happens on any kernel/ROM combo I have tried, which is interesting. Update.zips just carry signed certs and simple copy bash scripts, essentially pushing new files to correct directories, correct? I definitely check for kernel compatability before, I am noobish, not noobtacular ;)

1. I believe redbend is samsung tool for flashing volatile memory (NAND).

2. You can use 7zip to explore archives/apks without extracting them and breaking signings. Thus you can simple copy paste .apks/.pngs to appropriate directories without extracting

Most update zips are the actually apk and simple scripts in a flashable container. Roman form EDT has an excellent tool for creating flashable zips if interested... but yes you can manipulate file system of phone and archives. I use adb from recovery. Or android commander is a useful tool as well

EDIT: Explodingboy gives better explanation above
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
I use untermench's modified redbend. It's the same thing except it removes that ugly blue splash screen every time it is run. That said, I've simply copied over OS and CW into the trigger zips to override the stock kernel. And I never received any reports if it not working from anyone (and I've had releases with both).

Point being, in my experience it doesn't really matter (so long as everything matches). I've done the same for previous modems.

And as you said, all it's doing is copying them to the proper partitions.
[Vibrant Android Development] Poser:
Very cool... thanks.

Also, you are going to think I am crazy... but that ugly blue splash screen can tell me if it is a bad flash or not. When it happens on the top of screen= good flash, on bottom = gonna need to flash again, cause behavior goes wonky. Maybe just bizarre coincidence???
[Vibrant Android Development] Br1cK'd:
I've seen you around, you're not noobtacular, but hell I'm still way noobish about a lot of things. Dig the avatar btw. I don't know if I can give an intelligent enough answer to your question, would probably have nobody running Loki by tomorrow, lol. Have you grabbed any logs, or tried to, while its looping?
