I tried to follow what it said and I have no idea what I'm doing. appreciate the help though.
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Well, I don't see you being able to get your phone back in working order otherwise.

Its really easy to do.

1. Download and install RSDlite 4.9 on your computer. (download from here h t t p://www.mobile-files.com/forum/showthread.php/763-RSD-Lite-4.9)

2. Download the latest Moto drivers and install on your computer.

3. Download the SBF file and put on your desktop.

4. Plug your phone into your computer, and your phone should turn on and be in bootloader mode (black screen with white text)

5. Run RSDlite.

In RSDlite, there should be a box with "..." Click that, and then choose the SBF file from your desktop. Hit start, and let it work. DO NOT shut off your computer or unplug your phone while this is running.

When RSDlite says its finished, unplug the phone, turn it off.

Now you need to boot into recovery. To do this, hold "x" on your keyboard and the power button. When a screen with the triangle comes up, hit the search button on your keyboard (magnifying glass). Choose "wipe data/factory reset". When thats done, select "wipe cache".

Now reboot the phone, and it should boot up normally. You will need to reactivate your phone, which you should be prompted to do in the setup.
[Droid 2 General] jakeg2012:
I did everything. Everytime I put the sbf file (which shows up as a zip file) into a folder I look for it through rsd lite and I can't find any zip files/sbf files I've downloaded. What do I do now? Am I doing something wrong? sorry for being a pest btw.
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Your not being a pest :)

You need go extract the .sbf file from the zip folder to somewhere like your desktop. Then find it in rsdlite

I can't find a working sbf file. Every time I use it I get FAIL. :(
[myTouch 4G General] kettlecorn:
My Mytouch4g is currently unrooted and does all kinds of stuff I need it to do especially cause I have launcher pro and all sorts of apps to tweak out the feature. But the one thing that's missing that I find really annoying is it lacks simple task switching multitasking. I hate having to swipe down that Notifications drawer to get to "Recent apps" to switch back between my gTalk and browser or the radio or whatever. Sometimes I'll have my Tvlistings open to check out a channel then get a text message and gtalk and I'll want to switch between apps much easier.

Is there any rom, apps, kernels, tweaks out there that support this? This phone is so powerful I'm sure its capable. My ipad 1 had only 256mb and had way sub-par multitasking than this phone (in terms of memory and things running in the background) but it was still decent. If there's some app like "backgrounder" or something where you hit the HOME button twice to bring up recent apps or something, that would solve everything!

Any ideas?

Also, there are SO many roms and mods on the development page I don't even know what they mean. Which one is considered the "Best" right now in terms of everything working without bugs and lots of performance flexibility and customization? CM7?

I'm fairly noob still so bear with me. :)
[myTouch 4G General] camalus:
Hold down the home button.
[myTouch 4G General] jasonp2506:
U can root ur phone and just flash a custom kernal. This way, u still have the stock rom and speed beyond what ur seeing right now, especially with faux's new kernals. Just be sure to make a back up from the beginning and u may do pretty much whatever u like as far as switching between roms and back to stock if u don't like it. But try wave launcher from the market. It would solve the quick access prob. U can launch any app in a snap, from any window. Not just recent apps like holding the home key does.
[myTouch 4G General] kettlecorn:
Thanks! I just got wave launcher.

How do you know which kernal is the best? I have heard of faux from some youtube video but other than overclock, I'm not sure what makes one better than another.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] adam1741:
So I tried the new MIUI rom for Milestone and I really liked it, I switched from CM7, and when I did a data restore from CM7 to MIUI, it made my phone freeze and not run properly, giving me system errors. So I wiped and did a davlik wipe as well. Did a nandroid restore to my CM7 rom and used Astro file manager to backup all my apps. Than I wiped again and flashed MIUI, than used astro to install all the apps again, but they do not show up as installed in my market. Just the purchased ones show up as not installed, just pruchased. Is there a way that I can fix it, so the market will detect me installed apps so I can update them. I was hoping to have to avoid reinstalled 50 or more apps.

Thanks, Adam.

Hope all that made sense lol
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wisefreakz:
Use TITANIUM BACKUP and use the option to force app to show on market.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] adam1741:
the Market Doctor? or is there another option? Will restoring my apps make them appear in the market?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wisefreakz:
Download the TITANIUM BACKUP and them look for the option to attach the app you want to the Market.

Simple like that.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tomcheng76:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rene009:
I just would like to know a few things about this app

1. Which roms have it

2. Where I can get more theme for this app

3. Is it better than sense 2.0

4. How to use it

Thnx in adv.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
1. Most, if not all roms have it

2. Themes and apps; most themers make it an apk to install into theme manager, to make it easy

3. Personally wouldn't know.

4. Don't have to use it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Correction to the above:

1. It's only in ROMs which have added it... Which as this point just means CyanogenMod and other AOSP ROMs based on it.

2. You can also get themes for it from the Market (search for "cm7 theme").

3. Yes.

4. Launch the app from the app list in the app drawer, select the theme you want from the thumbnails, hit apply, and reboot once it's done. Ta-da!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rene009:
Thnx bro n do u know if there are some in here
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZuperBlahq:
I'm trying to find an answer to the first question as well. I'm trying to use the search for roms that have it included but no dice. Just a bunch of themes pop up. Im using CM7 just for the theme chooser because I like the 'Sculpted' theme so damn much.

Hi,

again a WIFI trouble:

If i connect to my router the connection is fine. All IP´s are correct and so on ... I cant establish a internet connection :-(

But i can open my router from the mobile :-)

And: I can open the IP address from google and open all pages in a google search, no problem ....

Another tab in opera didnt let me go in the Internet at all. A normal address is not working too. All other internet app´s like Market and so on are not working ....

I am stuipd or the mobile ?!?!?

Heeeeelp please !!!

It seems there some sort of trouble with the DNS... have you tried to access a page with IP adress: http://207.171.160.0 - should be amazon.com

You can check your wifi status with *#*#4636#*#*

Kind regards,

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
This sounds to me like it could be a problem with the router or with your internet connection itself. Other devices connected to the router can access the net normally?

I agree DNS may also be an issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olsig:
........

I try to reach the amazon IP, it was not working :-(

Yes all other devices can work with router perfect ....

Then i check this wifi status and it is weird ....

In the wifi api, i did not open anything if i say enable network, getconfigured networks or getconnection informations,

If i say disconnect, it disconnect, but connect after few seconds automatically again.

If i say enable or disable network, it crash: processcom.android.setting has stopped ....

In the wifi status, it give me after refresh all corret datas, but a pig test to google is not working (host unreachable)

My phone is not cracked or anything like this. only KIES updated ....

:-(
[Desire HD Android Development] i00:
I am building my own custom ROM based on Android 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1

I thought I would include a list of APN's from my previous ROM and thought it would just be a matter of moving the "\system\etc\apns-conf.xml" file to my new ROM (on the new ROM the file did not exist prior to me moving it from the other ROM).

However my APN settings (that are in the file) do not populate (even when going "Reset to default")...

Any ideas of what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks

Kris
[Desire HD Android Development] capychimp:
open framework-res and browse to the xml folder and take from another framework-res in xml folder the apns xml file and put into the one you want
[Desire HD Android Development] i00:
Worked it out the apns-conf.xml had <apns version="6"> in it ... needed to be version 8
[Desire HD Android Development] -Ho-:
Just Change it to version 8

It will be working?

gonna mod my own later :)
[Galaxy Tab General] teezle:
Don't know what I did. I now have a wierd boot screen problem. I can then hear, but not see, the Verizon sound and then it boots up, but my 3g does not work. I tried my usual reliable heimball restore to Verizon stock but the boot loader is still there?! I can't get into recovery using the holding the up-vol and power. Holding vol-down and power does get me to the download screen.

How do I fix it?

Can I use another rom that would bring the 3G back if I can't downgrade the boot loader (if that's even the problem)?

Please help.

EDIT: I think I messed it up by using some proteced bootloader from a rom
[Galaxy Tab General] teezle:
any thoughts are appreciated as my Tab has no 3G :(
[Galaxy Tab General] teezle:
now it's dead

Tried using roto restore for the sbl.bin and boot.bin (bootloaders) and all the zimage, param....etc

Went through successfully, now does not turn on after it tried to reboot. Nothing. Downlaod mode...nothing works
[Galaxy Tab General] teezle:
going to receive a replacement

Well, enough was enough. I called Verizon and they are sending me one next day delivery. I have to send the old one back. Remember the post about not flashing protected boot loaders!!!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tomau000:
Hi there, this is my first post on xda so forgive me if this is put in the wrong forum.

I am new to android and wish to play around with the emulator.

What I want to do is to create my own piece of virtual hardware that can collect OpenGL commands and produce OpenGL graphics.

I have been told that in order to do this I will need to write a linux kernal driver to enable communication with the hardware. Additionally, I will need to write an Android user space library to call the kernal driver.

To start with I plan on making a very simple piece of hardware that only does, say 1 or 2, commands.

Has anyone here done something like this? If so, do you have any tips or possible links to extra information?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Regards

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] h4x0l2:
Im surprised this is left unanswered.

Yes, you can do this. There are several ways to do so, but I will explain 2 good options for you.

One: Use AndroidSDK. It's configured for android and simple to set up.

Two: Use virtualbox. If you have the android ISO, you can install it as a bootable image in this software. This gives more functionality than AndroidSDK, but it is not as simplistic. There are settings you will need to adjust to get it running. For a working Android ISO with limited functionality, you can download this: http://www.android-x86.org/download
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markme123:
My goal is to finish flashing((i added the ESN and have talk and text) my Droid Incredible to MetroPCS, however there seems to be a dearth of information for this device. I have found guides for the Droid, Droid X, Eris, Hero, Fascinate, and even the Evo. Yet, nothing for the Droid Incredible.

Instead of asking for a tutorial from you guys, (although that would be appreciated) I have a different question. Is the hardware/software on the Incredible more comparable to the Eris or the Evo? I am planning on using either one of the guides but I am pretty sure there are differences with each device.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bast525:
Evo. The inc and Evo are very similar in many ways. To the point that we can actually run Evo Rom without too many changes.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiritcrusher33:
I too wish there was some kinda guide for the dinc for metro pcs.. like what to do and what not to do as far as flashing new roms and such. lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markme123:
My god, this is frustrating...

I have tried both the Eris flashing instructions and the Evo flashing instructions, and nothing. In both cases, I can't even get the 1x icon up, nor can I get the APN settings to stick. I even copied the CMDA WS and QPST setting from a Metro HTC Hero, and yet nothing. :( Seeing as setting up the proxy didn't work, I guess I am having issues with writing PPConfig since I can make and recieve calls/SMS

Anyone out there with a flashed DInc, willing to share settings/help?

Could the fact that I am running 2.2 Android instead of 2.1 be an issue?

[Captivate Themes and Apps] pwnerman:
Im just starting this thread because its pretty obvious there are apps that are better then the stock one. Prob most people have two messaging applications on there phone, stock and maybe handcent or gosms. Well im making this thread so people can ask questions and to find out if somehow there is a way to delete the stock app and replace it with the preferred one. Im also sorry if there is a thread for this and if so I will delete this one.

BTW I prefer quickpic heavily over the stock gallery and i was wondering if somehow i could replace the stock gallery with quickpic.

Give your opinions and everything. Is it safe? W.e you wanna say.

Will it get moved to the themes and apps section or deleted?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] silentheero:
This is something that I have wondered too. Can you delete the stock apps and make your favorites the default? I know that anyone can set preferences for which apps open (Miren browser instead of stock android), but would there be any advantages to deleting the stock app completely and replacing it with your alternative? Is it even possible, since some 3rd party apps require the stock apps to be there (messaging apps)? I know that relying on one 3rd party app and not having the stock app (ie music.apk) available could be problematic.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] majinzen:
Use a file manager with root capabilities and delete whatever you'd like. Gallery and mms apk can be deleted safely. Obviously, if the 3rd party app requires the system app to function then you should not delete them. What problems are you having with the music app? I use poweramp and deleted the stock music app with no problem.

[Samsung Mesmerize] jheiselman:
Okay, this was my first time trying to root my phone and it would figure that non of the automated methods worked for me. Still, I was able to get root on my US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S Mesmerize (SCH-i500 for the kids keeping track at home) and these are the steps that I took. I hope this helps others who may be scratching their head wondering what to do when the developers haven't gotten around to (read: forsaken) us.

The nice thing about this method is that it doesn't require Windows (though you still do download SuperOneClick).

NOTE: This is only for an officially updated Mesmerize. Rooting is unnecessary for the leaked version.

APOLOGY: I can't post any links to anything outside the forum as I am a newer member, so, sorry for not being able to post URLs. :mad:

1. Download the Android SDK from the Android developer website and install/unzip it. You may need to add the path to the adb tool (found under platform-tools for me) to your PATH variable.

2. Download the SuperOneClick tool and unzip it

3a. If you are using Windows, then make sure to install the drivers for your phone. I don't have Windows, so don't ask me which file to download. Sorry.

3b. Enable USB Debugging on your phone (Settings->Applications->Development->Check "USB Debugging").

4. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable

5. Open a shell (or command prompt on Windows) and change directories to where you unzipped SuperOneClick

6. Run the following commands to copy files to your device

A. adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/psneuter

B. adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox

C. adb push su-v2 /sdcard/su

NOTE: A quick note of each of these files.

A. psneuter - an exploit to gain root access temporarily on your phone

B. busybox - a compilation of common unix commands to help you along the CLI world

C. su - the super-user command used to gain elevated privileges

7. Run the following command to get a command line interface to your device

adb shell

At this point, you should see a $ prompt indicating that you are on your phone.

From here, you will change directories to where you put the exploit, change the permissions so you can run it, copy over the files that we need to sustain root access, and finally, install the Superuser.apk app so that you can manage root access from the UI.

Execute the following commands:

$ cd /data/local/tmp

$ chmod 777 psneuter

$ ./psneuter

Here, you will be disconnected from your device. This is normal. Just run "adb shell" again to get back in, though now, you will notice that the prompt has changed to a #. The following commands will reflect that.

# mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/st19 /system

# cd /system/xbin

# cat /sdcard/busybox > busybox

# cat /sdcard/su > su

# chmod 4755 busybox

# chmod 4755 su

# exit

Now, you will be back on your computer. Type the following to install the Superuser.apk app.

adb install Superuser.apk

That should do it! You now have root access. Go ahead and try to install Titanium Backup (requires root). You can also install a terminal app or anything else.

I hope this helps. Report your successes/failures in the comments.
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
Has anyone noticed an exorbitant amount of data being used? I just checked my bill and Im well over 3GB of data and I've never tethered my phone. I did notice that from time to time I have packets of data over 200mb randomly through out my bill. What is causing all this data usage
[Atrix 4G General] Magic_Bunny:
Well some apps do auto updating like Facebook and Engadget. Turn those off or change them to 1 hour periods. Also download 3G Watchdog and watch how much data you use. You can set it so that when you get to 1.9GB it automatically turns off 3G/data. Worked good for me when I had my 2GB plan. I got my unlimited back though. :p

i would constantly find that app being a big data eater when i didnt use it even with auto update off
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
Oh I have unlimited so no worries lol but I just found it odd that Im almost at 4GB and also the random large packets of over 200MB

[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
this isnt normal there shouldnt be any programs using 200mb of data without you downloading or using it. it could be a rogue app downloading this and killing your battery too. get the app 3G watchdog it will tell you how much data each program is using.
[Atrix 4G General] eatkabab:
I don't understand what you people are doing. But yes I agree with the OP. I'm using much more data than even my previous Captivate. I explain it with the fact that this phone is about 23 times faster so I use it at least twice as much to do at least four times more...

My regular is like 1.6gb. Seldom tethering and almost never used to download movies/files/other big things. Thats the only way I can see someone using that much data. But any decent broadband connection would be so much faster I don't understand why anyone would...
[Atrix 4G General] xfinrodx:
My father-in-law used 40 gigs in January on a 3g iPhone. The last 6 months he has averaged about 30 gigs. AT&T just (a couple days ago) served him a notice that he had a week to get his usage under control or he'd be kicked from the network. We are mere mortals to his power usership.
