May be a stupid Q

How do i restore the account settings ( I mean my gmail and facebook )alone after a.new rom update.

I do not want to restore any other apps.
[Android Apps and Games] 3rdstring:
After TB loads goto the back/restore tab, click the app you want & restore (data only if the app is already installed). For Gmail you should have everything synced when you add your gmail acount to your phone.

My xRecovery installation fail on SE X8 2.1 (Rooted), I copy those files in to /system bin and reboot with hitting the BACK key when SE Logo was seen but it doesn't work. :(

And also I want to ask that how can I update my Adroid 2.1ver to 2.3.3 CM-RC3 HACKDROID Legend ?

Anyone help me please?
[XPERIA X8 General] UAL4588:
Did you follow the instructions carefully? as in, install busybox from market, and then copy busybox to the folder? And I thought the folder is /system/bin/etc ... Well for the update you need xrecovery. Racht's ROM's always come in the form of a backup. Unrar the file to /sdcard/xrecovery/backup and then in Xrecovery restore that backup. Oh, backup your applications, contacts and sms's first, you'll lose all data in internal storage.

[HTC Inspire 4G] SNadler:
I am not sure how or why but I have had two instances now where the Nandroid backup has failed. Once with a backup of CoreDroid 4.9 MD5 mismatch wont restore and once now with CoreDroid 5.0 same error when i try to restore. I have tested and verified that it is not the rom.

I did a full wipe again

reinstalled full version ROM

set it up with a few apps

did a nandroid backup

rebooted

restored backup from SD card

Restored and booted no issue

All Normal! I do not know what happened on the other two backups?

Normally I boot to CWM by means of Rom Manager which gives you the option to name your backup. It is possible that I did those by means of CWM (Going directly to CWM with ADB) which does not allow you enter a name. It just starts and assigns it a name (number) and then I changed the name later on? Not sure. I am also not sure if this would cause a MD5 mismatch?

Always a concern if a backup does not work 100% of the time until I find a cause.

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks all.....:confused:

Has there been any other reports of this? This is the first time I have had an error with CWM and I have had it twice.....

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Major Clod:
Hi,

Amoled HTC Desire - Telstra Edition (A8183)

S-Off

ClockworkMod

GingerVillian Rom

It's been about 3 weeks since my last flash. Haven't had any problems with the phone at all.

Was simply browsing the net on my phone tonight. It froze for some reason and was completely unresponsive to all buttons - so I pulled the battery.

It now won't turn on at all - not activity from the phone at all.

What I've tried / found....

Plugged in with NO battery inserted - LED Flashes between Green/Orange

Plugged in with NO battery, then insert battery - LED stops flashing and goes blank.

Plugged in with battery - No LED activity

Power button - No response

Power + Back Button - No response

Power + Vol Down - No response

Plugged into PC - No response on PC

Removed Sim Card

Removed SD Card

Different battery from GF stock desire.

Will leave it on charge tonight and see if anything happens. Seems completely dead!

Any other suggestions here before I try and warranty, hopefully if its dead its so dead that HTC won't know or bother checking to see its rooted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geenius:
i had a similar thing only last week, except mine only showed signs of an SLCD brick,also around 3 weeks after i flashed S-OFF, seems very strange. If you have no luck your best option is to try your warranty, worst case scenario they say the warranty is invalid and your back where you are now, worth a try i reckon
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Major Clod:
So I've discovered that the charging circuit appears to be working. I managed to get the charge LED to display last night by removing the battery, reinserting, then plugging in.

The orange charge LED would display.

I was greeted with a green LED this morning indicating a full charge.

Now if I pressed the power button at any time during charging the LED would disappear and never return, even if I unplugged and plugged the power back in. I would have to remove the battery to get that LED back.

[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverNBlack81:
I have a 2007 Honda Odyssey, and it's great except for a pet peeve, it has an aux button on the radio, but the only aux input I have found is on the armrest in the back of the 3rd row (stupid design). Honda will install an aux input up front but it's like $200 lol. So I'm looking for something that will plug into that aux input (it has a cigarette input there too), but b/c of the distance between the 3rd row and driver's seat, will let me wirelessly connect my evo to the audio system.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Rydah:
For quality purposes, I would go with a new aux. Do it with a small business. It may be cheaper.

theres a bluetooth device in the cig. plug and it plugs in to supply the device with power. make sense?

I'm getting it because my BMW only does phone through the bluetooth and I want to stream music.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverNBlack81:
ah it looks like i would plug the cig adaptor in, plug the aux into the aux input, then pair w/my evo, and that's it right? Unfortunately the mic would be far from me, but i also would mainly use it for streaming pandora
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodboynyc:
For $80 a local Car Stereo Shop would probably install a new AUX for you :P
[EVO 4G Accessories] OutdoorOBW:
Why would the mic be far away from you? Bluetooth should be good for 30ft so you can have the evo sitting on you lap if you want too.

Look Ma I gots a signature!
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverNBlack81:
oh i forgot i would just use the evo mic lol.

I thought about having an aux put in, but it's still under warranty and that means I'd have to get the dealership to put it in to avoid voiding the warranty. Pretty sure they'd charge more than 80.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ninjoe8:

This one seems cool, even has a USB port to charge a phone from. Kind of a lot of cables though, if you're plugging bluetooth **** into your stereo you might as well plug your phone into your stereo for a dollar's worth of audio cable.

Also, for the record, this is what you would be buying from honda:

http://www.oemautosound.com/pc-289-88-pie-hon03pc-son-honda-2003-2010-auxiliary-input-adapter.aspx

Ridiculous. Don't go through Honda. I'd just go to an aftermarket stereo shop and have one installed if you really want one up front, or buy the aforementioned bluetooth ones. Regarding your warranty, unless you're leasing the car (in which case you shouldn't make any modifications), the warranty is only for "powertrain" usually, which is the engine/transmission/brakes etc. Not little stuff like the radio. But I could be mistaken.
[EVO 4G Accessories] hellcatt:
why not get a new car stereo with aux input and bluetooth, i got a sony xplod for $130 installed
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverNBlack81:
I got an extended warranty on the odyssey, and it covers electronics. They said it would only be covered if we got the dealership to install it, which would be prolly too much. That's also the reason why I didn't get an aftermarket radio.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grynn15:
Hey all. First time poster, first droid ever (rooted Thunderbolt). Just a question about syncing music and videos with windows media.

I just happened to see my thunderbolt show up in Windows Media Player when I changed my USB connection type to "Disk Drive" so I tried syncing some music to it.

First off it shows up as having only 1GB of space free even though there's an icon in the upper-right corner of WMP that says 29.7 GB. Is there a reason why this is so? In explorer, the SD card comes up as 29-ish GB free.

Also, is this the actual way to go to sync media to my droid or should I be using something else? (I haven't installed that verizon app).

And another thing... shouldn't my Thunderbolt show up when I choose Media Sync as my connection type?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
I just plug in my device, put it in disk mount mode, and just drag and drop to a folder I created (Called Music) the phone searches your entire SD card for music and I have no problems, adding, deleting, or playing any of my music.

I have not tested it yet with people who DO have go sms pro,

Edit: I just read again the market description of the emoji plugin. and indeed it is stated very clearly that the recipient should have go sms pro and the emoji plugin.

In my opinion this is totally useless.

One has to convince all of his contacts to install an app before one can use it properly

That's not the right way to implement new stuff.

ridiculous
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] whaave:
So you suggest they change the SMS-standard to implement their own type of smileys? Remember that SMS is only text, and it is the SMS-app reading the SMS that translates the text 'colon-paranthesis' to an image of a smiley-face.

[Droid X General] LarcenQ:
I've had such great help in these forums (Nook specifically) I couldn't resist trying my luck in these (Droid X) forums as well.

So, I've searched for Clockworkmod threads but they are all (That I found or noticed) from back in August.

Plenty of info to be had on Titanium Backup.

So my question, is Titanium the backup/restore program of choice? I was hoping for an idiots guide to backup and restore (especially in the event of problems) but the guides are kind of sketchy on the restore part.
[Droid X General] jeftep:
Titanium

Use titanium backup to backup and restore all your apps. Useful when trying out new roms, although without the paid version of titanium you will spend alot of time tapping through the installation screens as it goes through your apps. Titanium won't help you recover a broken system.

SBF

Use RSDLITE 4.9 with a .SBF file to perform what many call a "sbf". This is usually used to restore a phone back to stock, or to recover from a bad/corrupted operating system. If your phone is unbootable, this is your recovery option. SBF'ing your phone is not as scary as it sounds, just download the system restore file (.sbf), connect your phone via usb to your computer, and use RSDLITE 4.9 to flash the phone.

Nand backups / Clockwork recovery

Use clockworkmod to do a full backup of your phone. Think of it as a clone of your phone. Restore your phone by booting into clockwork recovery and instead of choosing "backup", use the "restore" command. It will then allow you to select one of the backups you have made with clockwork. Pretty easy stuff here.
[Droid X General] LarcenQ:
Thank you, this is exactly what I was after. My only problem remains that I do not see any guides on how to go about downloading/installing/operating this program. I'll keep searching now that I know more about what I'm searching for. Thanks!
[Droid X General] jeftep:
Search the market for "rom manager", it's free. Load it and tap "flash clockworkmod recovery".

You can use this app to reboot into recovery or by holding down the home and volume down buttons while pushing the power on button.

You can also download the DX bootstrapper from koushik's site, just google "koush bootstrap". Also free.
[Droid X General] LarcenQ:
Thanks for the info, all of which answered my question just right. I've been using Gingerbread rooted & deoxed since Friday and it is quite nice. The improved battery life is phenomenal!
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
I want to STRONGLY recommend that everyone who is new/does not know what they are doing actually go through the process of flashing the rom. I was inexperienced once and I hard bricked it (unfixable). No one needs to go through that and anyway that's what keeps our bootloaders locked.

INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT STEPS

If you do not wipe data/cache/dalvik cache/battery stats, you will bootloop. Repeatedly wiping is not at all necessary but its good for ocd.

If you do not mount system and data, your phone WILL NOT BOOT and you will have to sbf.

SBF'ing is not difficult but a pain in the ass. First of all you do not need version 4.9. I used 4.7 three days ago to flash the most recent system version. Make sure that you have the file for your bootloader version or again your phone WILL NOT BOOT.

That being said, I have found that all problems are almost always careless mistakes or at least mine have been :p

You will find that as long as you're careful and follow all instructions, you'll never have any problems
[Droid X General] jperro79:
Ok. Great info. I have been reading through the stickies n then came across this.

I am currently running darkslide 4.2 with blur. Flashed using clockwork mod on DX rooted with z4. I know that's alot of acronyms but yall understand. I used the bootstrap to get to clockwork and load everything using astro file manager.

Here is the question.

Do I have to wipe my cache in clockwork or can I leave it? So far I have left it n its running fine but doesn't seem any faster and my battery runs down in about a day.

I also use Titanium to back up my stuff but do I ha e to back up everything manually or is the free version one touch good enough? I noticed there are alot of things not backed up in to do list. I will happily get the donate version if its recommended.

Thank you all for your time and effort to answer our beginner questions.
[Droid X General] jeftep:
Glad to see you are making progress, jperro. It never hurts (in my experience) to wipe the cache.

The paid version of Titanium backup lets you perform batch operations without interacting with every single install screen. There are other features that make it good, but thats the main one that saves you time/frustration.

I only back up a few system apps/data like Contacts Storage and Wifi Hotspots Storage. If I'm restoring my phone, chances are I'm either trying a new rom and I don't really want to muck it up with any old data - so I don't back up all the system apps/data that Titanium Backup shows as "not backed up". Besides, I've got nand backups in case I'm flashing back to a previous setup, so restoring system data or apps via Titanium seems redundant.
[Droid X General] jperro79:
Ahhh. Ok. Thanks jeftep for the info. Very useful and informative.

Hi guys,

I'm currently running JPY firmware but seem to be having problems with wireless and seems to randomly drop even though its showing as connected.

Battery draining pretty quick (yes i know the battery is crap) but im having to re-charge everynight with moderate use through-out the day and ive tried all the tips such as brightness, ensuring other apps aren't running etc.

My question is.... what is the most stable release at the moment whether it be 2.2 or 2.3?

Thanks,

Rick
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimitza:
Never tried so many roms around, but for me, Ultimate ROM 8.2 and GTO Kernel 1.2 is great.

Fast(48 fps in nenamark and 2000 in quadrant), stable, smooth, is the best for me.

No lags, freezes and stuff like that.

Battery status :

GSM&moderate browsing - About 45 minutes/day, 10-15 sms and about 1hr of browsing - 3 days.

Gsm only - same as above - almost 4 days

Intensive browsing&gaming - 5-6 hrs browsing(video streaming,messenger,mail) and a couple of games(modern combat,nfs shift, asphalt6) - i managed to drain the battery in 12 hrs.

A few tips to increase battery life

1.Over night, turn off data network mode and the wireless.This way i only have a 2% drain.

2. Set a black wallpaper and theme.Super amoled display obtains the black colour by shutting down the pixel.This means less energy.

Good luck.
