You do not need 0013d on a 32b sapphire [aka magic] phone 0013 and your current radio will allow you to run the extended 2708+ kernels. Just before flashing a custom rom run SuperWipe.

HOWEVER: If you intend to use CustomMTD or frequently flash roms I highly recommend 1.33.0013d because it has some additional features that will make it easier to fix up the device if you run into problems.

As mentioned just use the update.zip in my 2708+ thread for going from 1.33.0013 to 1.33.0013d

(Such useful features are: fastboot erase -w to erase system. cache, userdata after changing the partition sizes with customMTD if you have issues booting.. not required if you super wipe first but if forgotten will be an easier recovery than the alternative. Also 0013d has a hardSPL feature of allowing to flash NBH files from any region thus you are less likely to need to find a gold card to flash one if you phone stops booting into anything but the bootloader.)

Note Dream users almost always *must* use 1.33.0013d as otherwise they are on the stock partition size and will not be able to install most modern roms.. Its possible to use CustomMTD to get around this.. but as mentioned 1.33.0013d has a better feature set for use with CustomMTD as well as mis-flashed recoveries regardless of CustomMTD use.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] EazyLuke:
EDIT: okay, thanks to both of you! So I'll flash recovery, wipe, flash 13d (for more security & features), keep Radio, flash ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Nice to know. I, for some reason, was under the impression the RAM hack was tied to your custom SPL.

@OP, wipe after upgrading to 13d.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ezterry:
No its related to 1.33.0013 allowing alternative base addresses in the boot.img.. (well and the 2708+ radio giving a little more ram to linux). The memory hack was based off the sapphire ota kernel.

1.33.0013d was a hack to make supporting/using the spl on the dream less of a nightmare. (Along with the rest of the material posted on the 2708+ thread). In short how to deliver it such to avoid the pile of bricks as generated by dangerSPL now that we know better.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLiKK:
Im rather confused by how to go about backing up my contacts. Ever since google started backing up contacts, I haven’t quite understood which contacts (sim, phone or both???) it backs up. Is there any good application which backs up all of your contacts, that is , those saved in your sim, phone and google account, altogether.

I flashed bionix V 1.3.1 last night and used ‘MyBackup Root’ & ‘Titanium backup’

to restore my contacts. First I restored user applications with data and all of my contacts were back. Then I used ‘My Backup Root’ to restore contacts. (I don’t know why I took this step). It started erasing all of my contacts before restoring. When it got done, I realized I was missing my contacts saved in sim card.

This is all sooo confusing that I don’t know how to get my sim contacts back.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexhee:
Hi, I used My Backup to backup my contact before & restore it after I change to other ROM.

However, it seems the My Backup will erase all your contacts in your SIM card as well after you restore. The WORST part is it restored the contact & store as Google contact. You can't export the contact to SIM card anymore then.

Luckily I have backup in my old phone & imported back into the SIM card & reload it again.

My advise, try Go Contacts app. This app do the tricks where export your phone contact into SD Card & imported back flawlessly. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabeatz:
Why not just have all your contacts inside of Google? And each time you addd a contact, make sure it's being added to your google account. I've been on Android since the G1... never 'backed up' a contact.. Just logged in to my google account on the phone and had them there.

I stoted all contacts in Google account, everytime upgrading to new rom, synchronize contact again, all of them will be availabe in your mobile. It's my simple solution.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
I dont know of a way to get your contacts saved to your google account AFTER you have already chosen to save them to phone or SIM. I'm pretty sure you only get that option once. I would think you'd have to go thru each individual contact(omg, that sux) maybe erase and then resave and choose ur google account as the location to store. As stated before saving to ur google account is the best option to backup contacts
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLiKK:
This is exactly what happened... I couldnt have explained it better myself. My Backup erased all of the contacts (both on sim and phone) before restoring and restored contacts to google. It is important to note that it did not restore contacts that were saved on sim to google. However, when I go into 'My Backup' app and view the data i have backed up. I can see all the contacts (both sim and phone contacts) in there. I will never use 'MyBackup' to backup my contacts.

The reason I dont save all of my contacts to google is I, for odd reasons, sometimes have to use (though rarely) my old school phone. I just insert my sim in it and i get all my contacts.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehlol:
So I've noticed this issue with a few different ROMs I've flashed (TeslaCoil, Das BAMF, VirusAirborne) that when I open the phone application and begin typing a number it does not automatically begin searching/displaying contacts until I backspace out all of the characters that I've entered. Once the characters have been cleared the usual (recents, favorites, etc) show up. Not sure where this small gap in referencing comes from but was looking to resolve it..
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trevlo:
I'm not positive but I think that some of those roms utilize Launcher Pro, and that has been a Launcher Pro bug since the Thunderbolt came out. I am using a stock rom, but since I am using Launcher Pro, the same thing happens to me.

'Note: there seems to be a little bug with all 3rd party launchers where if you you hit the phone button and the dialer pops up, the contact list is blank and the smart dial does not work. To remedy this long press phone, select a new application and restart Launcher Pro then add the phone back, you may also have to open up the dialer and try to dial a few numbers and delete them and the contacts should appear. Not really sure why this happens. '

reassigning the phone application shortcut in the launcher pro dock got it up and working.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Majesty00:
Hello,

I have an annoying behavior with QuickDesk and LauncherPro. It's kind of hard to explain, I'll try to be as clear as possible.

I'm using QuickDesk Pro [QDP] as the default Launcher and LauncherPro [LP] is set as the Favorite Launcher in QDP. I want to launch QDP by double-tapping the Home key and LP is set to single-tap. Doing the other way QDP as single-tap and LP as double-tap does the same thing.

When I tap "Home" a single time, it doesn't do the set behavior settings, which is "Open/Close screen previews" in LP. As a test, I set the Home key action, in LauncherPro, to "Hide/Show status bar". Then, when I press Home, the bar disappears at first. If I press it again, it appears and disappears immediately.

QuickDesk Pro's "Double Tap Timing" is set to 150ms, but I've tried to 1000ms, 750ms, 500ms and the same thing always happens.

It was as if the "Home" action was conflicting with both apps. I've tried many settings in both apps, but I can't seem to find a way to fix this (if user fixable). I've also tried to add LauncherPro to the "Translucent Exclusion List" in QDP, but it doesn't do anything.

Anyone else is using QDP and LP? And if you don't have this strange behavior, what are your settings please?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jayfallen:
try checking the "Home button hack setting" or some thing like that in QuickDesk Pro, maybe it'll get what you need
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mynameisjon:
This topic really needs to be labelled [Q] rather than [APP].
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gilsol:
I have seen this behavior personally and not just with Quickdesk but any app you set as the default home app and then set LP to be your favorite launcher within this app.

The result will always be the lose of a few LP functionalities, most notably one tap on the home key.

The issue is definitely a conflict when setting LP as the favorite launcher and another app as the default Home. Only the developers of these apps can make them compatible, not something likely to happen.

I am using Enom's ROM which allows me to select what app to launch when double tapping the home key. So I set LP as the default Launcher and set the double-tap home key action and selected LP Activities and then launched Quickdesk's actual functionality, this worked nicely.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mathato:
So with the upcoming release of royal ginger 1.5 I wanted to save Just my contacts stored on my phone to the sim or make a file on the sd card.

Everytime I go to contacts-import/export it ends up saving 260contacts when I only have 160 actual phone numbers. The 260contacts includes gmail email addresses and a bunch of nonsense.

I turned off contact sync for my google account and all that still.

Is it possible to delete all contacts on sim and replace with an updated 160?

Help is appreciated.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] investinwaffles:
So I have a long bus ride to campus/work every day and I like to read and just generally browse on my Nook. I use my EVO to tether to it but it really kills the battery on my phone.

Basically, I need an email application that will fully cache HTML emails (embedded images like in newegg deals, etc), so I can easily look at them when Im not around. I am trying K9 mail but it is very bad in this regard. Sometimes it wont load the email, and it never caches images :(

The Nook Color has ~5gb of internal storage which I really wont use as I have a 16gb MicroSD card. It would be more than enough for caching emails to it.

And similarly, I need a news reader that will automatically cache articles to my NC. I absolutely LOVE pulse, and it will auto-cache text to my NC but without images the articles are just incomplete.

What other good offline applications do you guys use?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] razmajazz:
I use NewsRob to sync/cache my gReader feeds for offline reading. Caches feed text and images. You can also set it up to cache the full webpage link for those feeds which only deliver a summary via RSS. Great piece of software and the free version does everything I need.

[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
Why do you say it is about greed? A company sets a price based upon what they think will bring in the best profit. Clearly the more they charge the fewer people will sign up. I don't see how deciding that $30/month is the right balance makes them any more greedy than any other amount they decide upon. If too few people sign up at $30, they might lower it to $20. Would lowering the price to increase profit be considered greedy?

I have no Faux G coverage in my area, and I don't use Wifi Tether more than once every other month, so I see zero reason why I should pay $30 extra for it. When I do use it, it's usually about 500k down and 150k up so it's definitely not worth paying for.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Think I'm going to have to agree, if I had 4g in my area, I really think I might fork up some money to actually let my home DSL go and just use my phone to tether what I need within the house. Otherwise, I'm not paying for crappy 3g tethering speeds on their hotspot app, when I can do it for free.

[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
The OP could have shared a honest opinion or trolling FUD, we don't know. Take it all with a grain of salt. Rumors of technology software and hardware that could be used to thwart things that some people like to do have been around a very long time. Most of the time, it ends up that it wasn't that big of deal or never really happened eventually. A great percentage of the time, when companies put things in place to stop or slow down something they don't want happening with their products or services, there eventually comes about a way to get around those obstacles. I forgot who said it or what movie it might have been in but I have some faith in the statement, "if a man makes a protection scheme, then a man can break it."

Recently I installed UrkuDroid 0.7 on my Archos 101 but unfortunately didn’t works fine on it by now.., perhaps I did it something wrong but I got a lot of force closes with that version.

I followed every step wrote on first page with normal package UrukDroid_0.7-Install.rar (md5sum: 785fd119d3079d4369e60208cb260c30)

Now I think test Aditional files like UrukDroid-0.7-kernel.tbz2, for see if with it everything works better.

I tried install SetCPU disabling interactive governor in urukconfig and selecting ondemand on SetCPU but without any favorable results for fix force closes.

I await now for UrkuDroid 1.0 Release, because I guess that would be a great ROM, of course better than original ROM.

But until then.., exist some way for install original ROM to Archos 101 again?

I haven’t any copy, (everything was overwritten L )

If someone knows where can I download original ROM, and how can I install it again.

I test downloading firmware from Archos’s page but didn’t works, or I did it something wrong because UrukDroid continues starting.

Thanks in advance.
