[Continuum Android Development] mrjake1970:
I am still new at android, however I think I can finally give back some love after the awesome devs here have given us so much with our phones..

Here are the steps I took to fix the browser crash and FC issue in this ROM. My wife's continuum no longer has FC with browser and ticker is working 100%.

PLEASE READ THIS!

What I did may or may not work for your phone...every phone is different..make a nandroid backup, and be very careful what you are modifying.. i take no responsibility for borking or bricking your phone, all i know is these steps worked on the continuum my wife has. I strongly suggest that you follow all the instructions, however if the mighty devs see that something can be eliminated, please pipe up :)

OK on to the goodies..

you will need the following files and programs..

1. PROGRAM: root explorer (or other compatible file explorer that can change .apk permissions)

2. FILE: download the "alternate" browser fix to your SD card from the original post : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/upda...te/browser.zip

Do the 3 finger salute to boot into RED CWM and flash the browser file you downloaded to your SD card.. reboot after flash..

OK.. open root explorer and make sure you select "MOUNT R/W" permissions from the top box.

1. navigate to the main root directory "/" .. and long press the DEFAULT.PROP file and scroll down the menu to select OPEN IN TEXT EDITOR..you will see 4 settings listed..make sure they are set to

ro.secure=1

ro.debuggable=0

persist.service.adb=0

ro.allow.mock.location=0

if not, change them to that and save it..if using root explorer it will auto save a backup to your card.

TURN OFF PHONE COMPLETELY AND REBOOT...

2. navigate to /SYSTEM/APP (make sure your MOUNT R/W is selected still) and long press the browser.apk file..from the menu select permissions.. they should look like this... with X meaning selected and O meaning not selected..

IMPORTANT NOTE!!! if you have to change any of the settings in permissions for any of these files you MUST hit OK at the bottom after the change or it will not stick and will cancel if you use the "back" button instead of hitting OK..

X X 0

X 0 0

X 0 0

3. scroll to top and select parent folder twice to get back to main root directory "/" and then go into /DATA/DATA and long press the file "com.android.browser" select permissions and make sure they are like this..

X X X

X O X

O O X

select OK and then

4. select parent folder twice to get back to root "/".. navigate to /DBDATA/DATABASES/ and long press "com.android.browser" and select permissions to look like this..

X X X

X X X

O O X

select OK and then...

POWER OFF PHONE AND REBOOT...

when reboot is complete, pull the battery for 30 seconds...reinsert battery and boot..

problem was solved after making those changes..

IF YOUR TICKER IS NOT WORKING..

go to settings/sound and display

deselect auto brightness, powersaving mode and grip sensor..

the ticker started working immediately after exiting settings, and the browser fix connected to the feeds and opened like normal..

It would be better if you posted this in the Clean ROM thread instead of opening a separate thread, that way it stays linked with the ROM it is intended for and doesn't clutter up the board.

Nice work, btw...

[LG Optimus 2x] tanxavier:
Dear all,

I've used many android phone, including SGS, HTC HD Desire, and etc. Eventually i jump into this lovely LG Optimus 2X.

It's a great phone in term of speed and its vibrant screen. Awesome!

However i have 1 issue here.

The stocked LG movie guide and LG news has constantly go on the internet for updating. I hate this as all the temp pic been pulled down to my sdcard and mess up my gallery.

Is there anyway I can do it away without having to root the phone?

Reason is for the previous phone, after rooted, the network quality drop tremendously and therefore decided not to root anymore.

can any one pls help me on this issue.

Thanks a lot!

Not a chance. The viewpad 7 was released in the UK first so they have a good stockpile of roms. Start your search in UK android development. Good luck ;)
[Droid Incredible General] meazz1:
I am not sure if this is a hardware or software issue but it has been happening quite often after the RC 7.0.0. I am running the stock kernel.

when I answer a call, it takes 3 to 4 second before other party hears my voice. It seems that ph is dead for that 3 to 4 second and than really turns on.

any idea?
[Droid Incredible General] meazz1:
bumping this...

so no one has this issue except my DInc?
[Droid Incredible General] Pons:
Try flashing a different ROM and see if it persists. Easiest way to troubleshoot.
[Droid Incredible General] whitedragon551:
Happens to me too. It only happens when I get a call, not if I make one and it doesnt happen all the time. It happened on Magnolia, Redemption Revolution, and Redemption. I called Verizon to fix this issue and they told me to dial *288 and option 2 to get moved up on the roaming list. That works for a few calls and then its back to normal.

Is there a way to flash sbf on 1.57 cause I screwed my phone up pretty bad I had gibgerblur installed and then I installed gladiatrix over it and I'm having a lot of problems now
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Did you ever make a backup with CWM? If you did that would be the easiest to use to revert back. If not, then you can either flash this sbf (1.57) but you will not have root or anything mods, hacks, etc. Otherwise, you will have to go start over with flashing 1.26 sbf.

This music player is not fully functional!!! It does not (as of yet) actually play music from the device. The purpose of the app is to assure complete compatibility between all devices. I will be updating as frequently as I can due to being in college. As I find bugs (either myself or if they have been reported) or enhance various sections of the Music Player. If you have any knowledge of how to read music from the device and list it, please feel free to help out. If there are any bugs or if something doesn't look quite right on your device, let me know so that I can fix it. Tell me what you guys think :)

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Doge:
I know there must an easy fix for this but I cannot find it in the forums. When I connect up my usb cable I see quite a few more files than using the file browser on the Gtab. I have tried different file explorers with the same results. For example I see a "videos" folder on my computer via the usb connection but cannot find it anywhere on the tab with the onboard file explorer. Any help would be appreciated.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockshim:
So yeah, it is flashed to Cricket and everything works (voice, mms, market, apps) except the browser or any other browser I've downloaded from the market.

When I activated it yesterday, I was put on the non-android $55 and all data didn't work. Today I got switched to the ADR Smartphone All In $55 and this now happens.

Any idea what it could be? If more information is needed please let me know, thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaviercomputers:
Cricket flashed HTC Evo 4g

Im having the same issue, but opera mini works great , the built in browser and dolphin hd fails, I also could not get google navigation to work, but market works. Both browers state they cannot find a connection but the 3g is working on the top of screen.

One other issue is that when I goto settings then "about phone" then "phone identity" under current username the number@mycricket.com is wrong and I dont know how to change it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockshim:
I downloaded Opera Mini and it works, but any other browser still does not. Navigation works fine for me.

I have the same "Phone Identity" issue, it shows a different number than my own.

UPDATE:

Fixed, reflashed to cricket > factory reset > flashed CM7.

How can I get files from a backup? To be specific, is it possible to get the APKs and the data from them?

Short version of this story is, I was doing a backup for my girlfriend, her screen went weird, so I stopped the process. I screwed up here.

The files listed are boot, data, datadata, recovery, and system. Is there someone I can snag these files?

When I try to restore it says, "This does not seem to be a valid backup. The MD5 file is missing."

Any help on this would be much appreciated. I feel like an ass.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
You could look in system. The best way to backup and restore apps+data is titanium backup, just for future reference. I'm not sure, but I'm betting you need to reflash the rom and start over

We're comin from a pure power source.

If u dont have time to know what ur doing expect problems...manual root on this phone is very easy...right now I am using sc2.9.2 with jt 4/8 kernel and ec01 radio...workimg great...but for simple...root, install cwm, then superclean so u have froyo
[Fascinate General] cpark_12:
Read up on it before you do it...it'll sound like nonsense at first, but once you start doing it, it'll make sense. Reading and researching makes it easier to understand what your are doing...good luck!
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
Download and install Odin on your computer. Find cwm-recovery all 3-30fix.tar file on xda and download it to your PC and put your phone in download mode (power off and take out battery, plug USB into computer and while you are holding the volume down button on the phone plug cable into phone.) You should see yellow android with a shovel. Open Odin on PC and select the "PDA" button. DO NOT SELECT PHONE BUTTON!! click PDA and find cwm-recovery all 3/30 fix.tar and select it. Push start. You now have red cwm recovery. Now you can now download whatever Rom you want and place it on the root of your SD card. Once you have the rom and kernel you want on the SD card, power off phone. Hold down both volume up and down at the same time and while you are holding those hold down power button until you see the Samsung logo. Let go of power button then the volumes. You will boot into cwm recovery and there you can flash away. If you need to know more than that just ask.

[Fascinate General] pwerpla:
Ok, here is the deal the members here are awesome at making mods that make our so-so phone run the way it should, but if they held everyone's hand and walked them through each step one at a time there would be no time for development. There are very good writeups stickied in the development forum that will guide you every step of the way. I read for quite some time until I took the "plunge" and have never looked back. By following the directions provided I have been able to try numerous ROMS, Kernels, themes, radios etc etc. To date I have had very few problems with these updates and in the rare occasion that a problem had arose I have always found a thread to help. What I can tell you is read read read all the answers you want are here. I you just ask for a hand out without prior research prepare to get flamed. Take the time to educate yourself it will be well worth it. Also with some education if you have a problem you will be able to post a question that will be easy to understand and more than likely you will recieve a quick response. Just my .02 cents.
[Fascinate General] DirgeExtinction:
Congrats on your new Fascinate. :D

[Fascinate General] tfotos:
Now that is the way to answer this guy's question. Kudos to you for being respectful. Everyone starts somewhere.

My advice to you is to read all you can about rooting the Fascinate. I still know very little but that's all you need. Once you kind of understand the basics your questions are easier for people to answer here. Now have fun with your phone. The hardware is great and the developers here rock.

[Fascinate General] bobloblaw1:
Reading before doing benefits you as well. The more you know, the less likely you are to screw up. And even if you make a mistake if you are familiar with the process you will better know what went wrong so that you can research the answer and/or ask for help.
[Fascinate General] hesh.monster:
Just read up on the go, download xdaapp from the market and read till your eyes bleed. I live on these damn forums and stol run into problems. Nothing is fool proof and there are such things as dumb questions when you don't take time to read first. Through my experience xda is an amazing community if not a bit lacking in patience.

I have the utmost respect for every dev here, but some[members] can take things a bit too serious...but at the same time I am completely apathetic to nearly everything.

Congrats on the fascinate though, make it rock!

Network Info II: no effect when settings changed either in OS or APN manager.

Whenever an APN was typed in, it would "save" (proven by APN Manager) but not be selectable, it just disappears once menu-save.

Returned it and purchased a Nexus S, took all of a minute to get data working.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
The easiest way I found was download SQLite editor. Its a few dollars. Then open it and click yes for root. Go to dialer storage then telephony.DB. then carriers. Add your apn to the list. If eceything is correct it should work. If the phone does not read the mcc then you may be screwed though.

2) Enable Airplane Mode

(hold power button for three seconds, select Airplane Mode)

3) Open Root Explorer

4) Navigate to: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

5) Click on "telephony.db"** (this should open the db using SQLite Editor)

6) Select "carriers"

7) You should see a long list of APN settings for various carriers, Push the menu key to bring up the menu. Then goto new record and fill out the details from there. Make sure that the _id is sequential from the other records.

8) Press back twice to close the SQLite editor and you should be back in Root Explorer. Close Root Explorer.

9) Disable Airplane Mode
