this can be done.. the "echo" solution is probably the easiest one, as boot.img somehow is different to add kernel args to.

but if it helps we will see..

ill check up on these options.
[A7 General] domito:
You are probably right, I had the same issue when I was trying to mod my Gentouch. It would be much easier if the kernel source was available (wishful thinking).

Thanks!

P.S. Love the mod, thanks for all the hard work.

TY for bringing your expertise to the Elocity world :)

I was just curious, are the SSD's used in the EA7 really subject to such quick degradation? How can you tell if your SSD is having issues? I dont have that much experience with them yet, I did notice my Desktop SSD had a MTBF of 2,000,000 hours (228 years)...but I know MTBF isnt the same thing as losing blocks.
[A7 General] domito:
I like to help when I can. :)

The key issue is not 'how long does the drive last' but 'why not make it last longer'. All SSD are subject to degredation over time due wear caused by write amplification (check wikipedia, the forum will not let me post external links).

I think I saw someone post the actual make/model of the SSD in another thread, it might be fun to look up the specs at the manf. site (if available).

Normally on a linux system I would watch for signs of issues in the logs, dmesg in particular. I think it would be much like ECC memory, it'll just happily go along without the bad blocks in use. There could be a better way, I'll look into it. Smartctl may show something. The only clue you'll get on android is the dmesg output.

I just had to restore my desktop because a 2 month old OCZ SSD failed on me. It did not outright fail though, that would be too easy. It worked for a while, then failed, then worked after reboot, then failed. Very annoying. I am not sure if this was caused by write amplification, or just a crappy SSD. YMMV.

hello,

I did install successfully "Energy.BLACKSTONE.21916.Sense2.5.FRA.Cookie.2.0.Mar.21"

then I added "FingerKeyb-2.1-WVGA.cab" to be able read and write Arabic.

The problem is when I want Configure a new mail box, non of the fonts I type appear, same thing in the SMS function. But when I use "Note" there is no problem, I can write Arabic easily.

Any help please

Thanks

i dont have that problem but my headphone jack does seem extremely tight, not sure if i have to 'wear' it in
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckman212:
don't have that issue BUT annoying is that when u plug in headphones it DISABLES THE MICROPHONE!! arg. so no way to listen to music & then answer a phone call without unplugging yer phones. How stupid is this?? its like the designers never actually used the phone

Mic not working

Guess I didn't know this was an issues since every phone I have ever owned (feature phones) with a headphone jack d/c the mic when you plug it in. I always just picked up a nice pair of headphones with a mic on them to answer calls.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirjacksinurbox:
Found that out the hard way too. Right in the middle of a busy street, on an important call. Can't wait for CM7 so I dont have to deal with a stupid feature like that...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatman60:
Audio Jack has a loose connection

I found a different issue in that if you bump the headphone jack just right, it cuts out the audio altogether. I took my Thunderbolt to the store thinking I had a defective unit and I was able to duplicate with their floor models too. Sounds like a manufacturing defect. I tested several headsets that to eliminate that as the problem.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatTony666:
Can you reproduce the issue with the battery cover off? Wondering if maybe the headphones aren't seated right. Taking the cover off would give more room to make sure they are all the way in there. (That's the only way I could type that last sentance without it sounding pornographic)

Note: don't bump it too hard with the cover off. You may knock the battery out. :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattCropley:
no i have not encountered this problem, and i use headphone jack everytime i go out
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masInvasion:
Yea that definitely is a defect! If you can't easily fix it without potentially causing damage, I would get a replacement

The Disabled Microphone issue is really annoying, I can't wait for a dev to fix it!

SPL 2.07.0000

SPL 2.08.0000

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
hspl4 choose 2.08.hspl only, NOT 2.08.0000
[HD2 General] siddharth singh:
i dint even know about hspl4 anyways thankyou verrryy much

and one more thing why 2.08.hspl and not 2.08.000

and can i run magldr with hspl4 is it comatible??
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Because MAGLDR only supports HSPL 2.08 right now is why you have to have 2.08. Also here are the two best guides I have seen here on XDA for installing a NAND Android ROM on your HD2. I highly recommend you take a goodds look at both of them.

HSPL is the same if it is HSPL 2, HSPL 3or HSPL 4. They just include and support the most recent versions of SPL and provides the corisponding HSPL. When you flash HSPL it allows you to choose wich version of HSPL or SPL you want to flash. I think this is what you are looking for, happy flashing.

Hehe, 12 months ago that's more like the answer I would have given,,, now I'm old and jaded i can only manage 1 - 2 - 3
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Ha what can I say I try to be a nice guy. But I do totally know where you are coming from Samsamuel, I also see why people get so upset when people start threads or post with questions that have threads with the answer they are looking for all over XDA. Heck when I first found XDA via watching YouTube videos I was totally scared to even post so I searched thread by thread and post by post until I figured out how to safely flash a custom ROM and run Andriod from SD. I even set up all night three nights in a row just searching for APN settings to get my Android build on SD card to get a data signal. So even though I do get tired sometimes of just handing the same information out over and over and over again. I can not help but remember how lost I was and felt trying to learn all of this on my own, so I try to do my part. Plus I am like you Samsamuel I beleive in carma too. Plus you have done your share of helping people here out, beleive my I know, I have read sooooooo many of your post. Hats of to you my friend.

[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
once you have magldr, you no longer have windows mobile. so no, you cannot access it.

you can flash back to WM, but you will lose your nand android rom.
[HD2 General] siddharth singh:
is it necesary to download CRW 1.3 or i can flash android through magldr too ?? :p :confused:

if it is compulsory then whic one should i download i will be us the cyanogen mod 7 ones generaly and is 400 mb partition one be used with all android roms
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
yes, you can flash via magldr or CWM so no you don't technically need CMW- your desired rom will tell you which.
[Off-topic] DssTrainer:
I had this thought the other day about how I used to long for an iPhone while on Sprint. I remember all these people rushing over to AT&T to get the iPhone and I really wanted the iPhone as well, but I had such a good SERO plan with Sprint that I couldn't make that switch. Plus I enjoyed being able to make a call here and there :p

But I'm thinking, if iPhone came to all carriers right out of the gate, most people would have had the iPhone already when Android came out and people wouldn't have been clamoring for an iPhone-like competitor.

So my personal thought is that Apple screwed themselves royally by going exclusive with AT&T and if they had gone to all carriers, we would only have a single monopolistic smart phone instead of 2.

Not to say that android might not still have happened, but they pretty much did what iPhone didn't. They said.. screw exclusivity.. we will go everywhere.. and it has paid off, allowing them to grow very quickly while Apple had no choice but to sit idly by.

You'll have to ignore the intial reaction of being able to develop more with android because it is more open... . we may not have reached this potential of development if we never gave android the chance intially because we already had iphones

[Off-topic] GnatGoSplat:
Did you forget there's an iPhone for Verizon? Verizon is THE largest cellular network in the US, at the moment. The Verizon iPhone may have put a dent into Android sales, but I've yet to see any articles saying that Android market share is doing anything but increasing. Sprint is a distant third. If the iPhone were available on Sprint, I'm sure it would sell well, but its dent to Android market share would be much less than Verizon.
[Off-topic] Babydollll:
I don't agree with your post. There are many people that I know of (even the poster above stated this) that are on AT&T and would not even look at an iDevice. When it went to Verizon it didn't make a huge impact either. Arguments about people stuck in contracts and family plans don't really count because if iDevices were the only real choice, people would do whatever it takes to get one. However, that is just not the case. Android is a viable competitor to Apple and in many ways superior IMHO.

[Off-topic] Step666:
Remember that ~95% of the world's population isn't in the US and therefore the AT&T exclusivity has precisely zero impact on them.

Android has support from 2 of the top smartphone manufacturers in the world, HTC and Samsung.

Combine that with Google's golden touch and it was never going to fail.

Not to mention, even if every network had the iPhone from day one, not everyone wants one.

Personally, I'd never consider an iPhone because of the price - doesn't matter how many networks sell it, as long as it's so ridiculously expensive, I'll never get one.
[Off-topic] DssTrainer:
You both seem to be missing the point. I'm talking about initially... 4 years ago when it first came out.. not now.. There was nothing else back then.... nothing like it anyway. The people who didn't buy an idevice back then are typically the same people who wouldn't have bought an Android if it was first either. Because they had BB or just wanted a simple phone. You need to think objectively based on the historical times and how everyone was dying to get something better than WinMo. You can't base your thoughts on today's results or your personal bias based on you already having an android and knowing what it does. It may be hard for some to remember life before android.

True, but look at Nokia... they have zero marketplace in USA but are huge internationally. I guess my focus is more USA than others. I think if iphone 1 was everywhere in USA initially, Android would be another Nokia at best
[Off-topic] tolis626:
Speak my man!

Well,first off,the iPhone isn't carrier exclusive everywhere.Here in Europe there are many many people who don't want to be bound to one carrier for their phone purchases and buy phones SIM-FREE.Plus,even those with contracts(I think Vodafone has the iPhone?It does here in Greece anyway)don't buy this many iPhones.

At first I thought that it was just because the smartphone market in Greece isn't all that grown.Then,I was on a trip to the UK,where all of a sudden I stopped seeing crap-phones that can only make calls and send texts(Some of them even have cameras though! :p ).Smartphones all around.But iPhones were MUCH less common than I thought.Many Blackberry's were wandering around(not on their own obviously! :p ),many HTCs(98% of which were Android phones),Samsungs etc(Android phones in General) and many iPhones.But not nearly as many as the other two.

That might have been my power of observation and things may be different,but that's what I saw. :)
[Off-topic] I Am Marino:
I think the fact iPhone was exclusive to AT&T for so long did help Android get it's first big break on Verizon, never mind the G1, Verizon pretty much started the OMG DROIDS EVERYWHERE trend, and then it's spread back to T Mobile and all the other carriers.

[Off-topic] GnatGoSplat:
I still don't think so. People get bored. I owned an iPhone before I ever got an Android phone. I still like the iPhone, my wife is sick of it and prefers Android. Lots of Android owners came from iPhone. As long as Apple maintains the monopoly on iOS and keeps it closed, competitors would continue to assault it with a barrage of competition, some of which (like Android) are quite good and would have gained traction. So I think even if Apple supported more than one carrier back then, it would have little impact on how things would be today. I think it's the exclusivity to Apple that has allowed Android to be successful, not so much carrier exclusivity. There are many companies making mobile phones, such as HTC, Samsung, LG, etc. They would have continued to attempt to make an "iPhone killer" no matter what carriers carried the iPhone.

Long, long ago, there was a time when almost everyone who had a computer at home, had an Apple computer. Apple dominated the consumer market with their Apple II series, and made serious inroads into business and publishing with the Mac. However, it was Apple's brand exclusivity that allowed the IBM PC to dominate. IBM didn't fight the clones, and eventually, every company except Apple started making x86 PCs running Microsoft OS.

Agreed, Verizon helped Android to get success in US, but Android is popular because its open source...and anybody with little programming knowledge and guts to ruin his phone can make android phone awesome and as they want...which you cant do with iphone...even if u jail break it...pure independence is what made android so popular...other factors like different hardware options and ability to port almost everything you see in other phones....Google's awesome work and innovative way to kill competitors....I can write an essay on android lol...

Also, IMO one of the major factor is HTC launching new phone every month...I cant believe how many phones HTC has launched in last 6 months...now every carrier is US has HTC phone with almost same hardware and software.....they just luanch it without thinking lol...

Samsung has taken better way of promoting android with launching new devices with something new and specialty like SAMOLED screens etc...similarly Motorola is doing good....
[Off-topic] Step666:
That statement falls somewhere between untrue and irrelevant.

At the very top end, Nokia have basically no market presence and things are only a wee bit better in the mid-range.

The only area Nokia is doing well in is the ultra-cheap range, not smartphones, so that has no bearing on a thread on the topic of the popularity of Android and the effect of iOS on that.

Well, you never said that and even if you had, the popularity of Android is not limited to the US - even within it's own bubble, the US market is not impervious to outside influences.

Nope, that would never have happened - unlike Symbian, Android is actually a very OS.

So even if it hadn't been given the initial push from Verizon, it would still have ended up just as popular, it just might've taken a bit longer is all.

But no matter how things had unfolded in the US, there's just too much innovation with Android for it to have ever been left behind.

[Off-topic] DssTrainer:
Well maybe the nokia comparison is off a bit.. but WebOS is another one with a lot of innovation that never took off.. granted that is also due to having no push from any carriers or Palm/HP due to the transition.. but adoption is a 2 way street.. even with all the innovation, if nobody was using android, I'd at least tend to think it would need another few years to be anywhere close to the iPhone... developers would probably not bother.. just like it is now.. Android last year was about 6months behind iOS as far as developers of games and apps.. mainly due to fragmentation... but they are closing that gap quickly.

I think if iPhone had a 4 year head start for all verizon, sprint, and t-mobile customers, android with all its potential may have slowed its development due to lack of market purchases and taken at least a few more years to become a real threat to the iPhone.

Either way, whether permanent or not, it looks clear that Apple screwed themselves out of a larger piece of the pie for the short term and AT&T was the only temporary winner in the deal.
[Off-topic] Step666:
That's another poor comparison though.

WebOS may be quite good in a couple of technical aspects but the OS as a whole blows. Not to mention the original Pre was a so-so piece of kit.

Palm never put enough effort in with WebOS, whereas Google has pushed Android forward at a huge pace.

Plus there's no way to compare a single manufacturer producing a single handset to the stable of Android devices that are on the market.

Android's strongest asset is choice - there are multiple manufacturers producing a range of handsets at a range of price-points and in that respect Apple, Palm, Nokia, none of them can touch Android.

That's a very big if though and pure speculation.

Not to mention, slightly backwards IMO.

Manufacturers got on board with Android long before it became the biggest OS - so whilst there's some truth that the continuing support and expansion of Android is only happening because it's popular with consumers, there was already a lot of support there which preceded it being popular with customers.

And again, it doesn't matter what happened in the US, Android is popular everywhere else and that would've lead to popularity in the US. Once the phones got good enough, like the Galaxy S family, US customer would've been clamouring for them - iPhone or not.

I disagree, for a new manufacturer, avoiding over-reaching is key.

Plus, they got themselves a lot of money by selling off the exclusivity rights.
[Off-topic] DssTrainer:
But that was powered by social demand. If we all had iphones the demand would be lower.

But that was an answer to iPhone. After failing with wannabes like the Instinct and others, they had no choice but to find something that wasn't evil. Google said we aren't evil and we have the credibility to beat the iPhone for all non-AT&T people.. and manufacturers recognized that and pushed forward.
[Off-topic] Step666:
But even if it had been available on multiple networks, not everyone would've gotten one.

Plus, as someone else has already pointed out in this thread, plenty of people have moved from the iPhone to Android devices.

This is getting ridiculous - once you start describing OSs as 'good' or 'evil', this whole discussion becomes nonsensical...
