[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepspgamer:
i have a stock froyo RUU, should i apply the goldcard, then try the update again then?

im new to this, so im probably going to need taking through all this

edit: so i made my SD into a goldcard. and now it wont mount on the phone, and when i run the RUU, it still gives me the CID error..

im going insane here, someone help >.<
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepspgamer:
ok, i got it

after doing some reasearch, i found that alot of people were saying that the phone needed to be S-OFF to flash it correctly

so, after reading up, and S-OFFing, i wiped, partitioned and flashed...

and, finally, after 9 hours of tinkering, errors etc, it has flashed and booted

this can be locked now, thanks :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
partitioned th sd card,

works sometimes, but glad we could somewhat lead you in the right direction, by proxy........

Little puzzeled by the s-off, but hey, it's fixed!!!
[HTC Aria General] rayott:
AT&T / HTC has discontinued the Aria. Any suggestions for a replacement if I drop mine? I really like the small format. Interesting they pull the phone just after the Goto upgrade!
[HTC Aria General] Theonew:
You could replace it with the HTC Legend. It has almost the same features as the Aria but just a slightly different design and a better screen. Check here for details: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_legend-3141.php.
[HTC Aria General] seboj:
Any word on what the insurance replacement will become?
[HTC Aria General] xboxhaxorz:
why did they stop offering it, i was waiting for 2 more mths to upgrade, i dont enjoy the big phones i want something to replace my htc pure

was it a bad phone or something?
[HTC Aria General] darknessrise1234:
It's not really a bad phone if you're not a heavy user.
[HTC Aria General] rayott:
Its a great phone. The others are just too big! Even the placement of the MP3 and USB ports are perfect. Again, its baffling why it would be discontinued right after they released the 2.2.2 Froyo upgrade.
[HTC Aria General] stone_ship:
Yeah, this is sad. I don't like all the huge phones out right now. I was excited about the release of the Desire S, but nobody else seems to be, and it will probably be largely ignored in the dev community.
[HTC Aria General] popupstoppa:
I wish they would make another phone the size of an aria but with more modern features - camera flash, adobe flash, etc. That would be awesome.

Hello,

I'm facing a problem where I'm unable to apply UOT themes on my Gingerbread/Sense rom :(. I'm currently running InsertCoin CM7/A2SD+ v02, and extracted the framework_res, as well as SystemUI from the ZIP but still I cant get it to work.

No matter what I try nothing changes. Can anyone help me?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Matty Matt:
What's going wrong exactly?

EDIT: When you've chosen the stuff you want, check the Summary area and make sure there are no red boxes indicating something is incompatible/wrong
[Desire Themes and Apps] mendozinas:
if you cook framework and systemui - it means you changing system theme. So after flashing UOT, select "System" theme in ThemeChooser.
[Desire Themes and Apps] umber:
unzip your ROM and put

-SystemUI.apk from the app_s folder

-framework-res.apk from the framework_s folder

from the unzipped ROM

load this 2 files in "UOT File upload" up

then cooked your file and download it.

download this file h ttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/18354786/black_circle-bat_flying.zip

then unzip your kitchen file and black_circle-bat_flying.zip.

put your kitchen SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk.

copy this files in to the follow dirs:

-SystemUI.apk to the black_circle-bat_flying/app_s folder

-framework-res.apk to the black_circle-bat_flying/framework_s folder

then zip it, now you can flash this file in recovery.

the black_circle-bat_flying.zip works with InsertCoin CM7/A2SD+ v03 data++ version.

i have used the installscript from alexdiaz themediazGingerMix7.

i hope its allowed to use this script, if not ok then i delete the zip.

Sorry for my bad english :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] seb.stian:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperZing:
I've been playing around a lot with the gtablet today. It came with the stock firmware and then I updated it to 3588 OTA. Afterwards I tried several roms, and ended up with a brick (magic value mismatch error), and used NVFlash to go back to stock rom.

Once I had the stock rom on I wasn't able to upgrade to 3588 OTA because I kept getting an error once it would try installing it. I tried to manually put 3588 on, and it partially worked, but I got some sort of error about installing the bootloader, but 3588 still loaded up and worked fine. So then I went ahead and installed one of the custom roms.

So my question is... how do I find out what bootloader version I have installed right now? I played around quite a bit with trying lots of stuff out, so I want to make sure I have the most recent version running.

Thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qgirene:
finally found it

From roebeet on another forum

to check which branch you are on: Go to Settings -- About Tablet -- Tapu UI Version. If your firmware starts with "1.1", then you are on the 1.1 (old) branch. If your firmware starts with "1.2", then you are on the 1.2 (new) branch. Also an obvious difference between the two is that the 1.2 branch adds a lockscreen to the tablet.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
the only way to be on 1.2 is to flash to it intentionally. 4349 was an OTA that did it automatically, but that update has been pulled. So, unless you've flashed to 4349 stock, you are on 1.1.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyDragon8:
Newbe - want to try different Roms

I'm a very new user to GTab and android, I've been learning so I'm sorry if my question(s) have been answer elsewhere.

1. Thanks for the info on where to find out which bootloader. This really help, I had the same question as I'm trying to try other custom ROMS.

2. When I first got my GTab (by the way, I love it) I try to install TnT Lite 4.2.4 with no luck, so I install Vegan Tab Gingerbread edition and I had to reflash while trying to install TnT Lite again and got the Harmony edition of Gingerbread (not even sure if it is the same one, Newbe for you :p ). Now I have lock screen on it. According to your post that should be 1.2. bootloader. So, installing Vegan Tab 7 Harmony updated my bootloader I guess.. is that true??

3. Now I want to try CM7 with overclock Kernel, can someone give some feedback?? or should I just want for Beta of Honeycomb "Bottle of Smoke"??

Thanks all
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcflman:
I believe there is a lock screen on most ROMs whether they're 1.1 or 1.2. The obvious way to determine which version of *stock* you're on is whether or not it has a lock screen. 1.1 doesn't but 1.2 does.

The only 1.2 ROMs I'm aware of are:

Stock 4349

Brilliant Corners (what I use)

Century Eyes

Mountain Laurel

Beasty

Honeycomb (alpha build)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyDragon8:
Thanks

Thanks for the information. I will check my G Tab when I get home tonight and look for it in the "About Tablet" in Setting..
[Nexus One General] manuel16:
anyone want to try to polish the nexus one ?.. make a video guide please
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
welcome to XDA...you try it first! ;):rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Polish what? It's plastic, not metal.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Except for the metal frame, you mean..?
[Nexus One General] mkrmec:
he doesn't even know he has a Aluminium frame phone :D And is probably one of those who defend Al against plastic.. hehe kidding yeah I troll :D
[Nexus One General] GnatGoSplat:
I will seriously think about doing this. I just paid for one that looks really beat up.

I think it will involve stripping everything out of the metal frame, wetsanding until it's smooth, then polishing.
[Nexus One General] Sinister Footwear:
wetsanding cast aluminum??... no way, don't even try that unless you want to really mess it up... you're gonna need a buffer (Harbor Freight, bench-mount model about $60) a couple of very soft cotton/flannel buffing disks and some red/green/brown jeweler's rouge... it will come out perfect...

wetsanding with up to 3000 grit paper is good for clear plastic and painted surfaces (like clearcoat) to remove imperfections like 'orange peel' or to remove yellowing and scratches from headlight lenses... wetsanding will destroy aluminum unless you know exactly what you're doing, and you'll end up polishing out your sand scratches with compound anyway, and it still won't come out right... you need something with a higher grit than 3000 (which is usually the highest grit paper they sell at a store) and that is jeweler's rouge... trust me on this one...
[Nexus One General] GnatGoSplat:
What's your experience with polishing aluminum?

I just wonder, because lots of people on the car forum I'm on have wet-sanded aluminum to polish what were previously painted wheels.

I don't think you can go straight to polish on the N1 because the finish is textured. Also, the photos of the phone I bought look like the thing has deep scratches and concrete rash which will need to be smoothed significantly and sanding is the only way I can think of to fix that.

The phone is really beat looking, so if I mess it up or it doesn't look good, I'll just replace the housing. I had already factored the cost of a new housing into the price I offered and paid anyway.
[Nexus One General] mrbkkt1:
I have 2 n-1's... one of them in pieces, and I too, was seriously thinking ofdoing this for the luls. basically, sand off paint, then clearcoat it, since aluminum does oxidize.

I would remove everything first...
[Nexus One General] Zmydust:
Cast aluminum sands then polishes just fine. I'd use 1000 ish to remove the paint , then 2000-3000 until it hazes. After that some rubbing compound , glaze, swirl mark remover and she'll look like a mirror. Zoop seal it and you're done.
[Nexus One General] manuel16:
please post your project zmydust
[Nexus One General] TheSneakerWhore:
I'm actually doing this right now. No video but it is easy. Just take your time.
[Nexus One General] TheSneakerWhore:
Same as a gun slide.
[Nexus One General] Sinister Footwear:
I have lots of experience polishing different types of metals, plastics, you name it... while the methods you and others are describing, 'could' work out for you (or someone who hasn't actually done this before, as I'm assuming you haven't), the method I told you will get you the best results in the shortest amount of time, with the least amount of effort... I've been through this a lot... restored cars, jewelry, internal lock pieces from old church doors, weapons, etc, etc... $60 for a decent buffer, $10 for some buffing discs, and $10 for some jeweler's rouge, about 20 minutes, and you're set... once you get the hang of it, you can polish that glass up too... jeweler's rouge works wonders... if you take your time and are careful to buff with the texture of the grain and at the right speed and pressure, you'll maintain the textured surface on the N1 as well... good luck to you, however you end up deciding to tackle it...
[Nexus One General] mrbkkt1:
Seriously, why sand when you can just use a strong paint remover?
[Nexus One General] GnatGoSplat:
Because it's anodized and not painted?

Most paint removers won't strip anodizing, are expensive, won't reduce scratches and scuffs, won't smooth the texture, and most importantly, I already have 3000-grit sandpaper.

I just got my beat up N1 on Saturday. It's really rough and should be a good candidate for experimentation. I'm currently using it, so experimentation will wait until the parts I ordered to repair my other N1 arrive.
[Nexus One General] parm104:
This thread is a fail.

Sanding the phone down gently will not cause any damage to it. As long as you don't sand it down past the metal there will be no problem. The hard part isn't sanding, it's putting on a new surface.

I have sanded down an Xperia X1 before (black and silver model) and re-finished it. I did this because there were scratches on the body that were annoying me. It was very simple and held up very nicely.

For those who want the rubberized texture, use plasti-dip paint. Works like a charm.
[Nexus One General] GnatGoSplat:
How thick is the PlastiDip paint? Did you use the spray? Is the spray a lot thinner than the dip for tool handles?
[Nexus One General] parm104:
Hey,

There are a few different applications made by Plasti Dip. The spray that you are talking about would indeed be too thick for the styling of our phones. They have a paint on version and another spray version that can be controller more when applying so that you get the perfect amount.

There are also 3rd-party companies that sell the same style of products with different application types at your local hardware store.

[Nexus One General] Stuart.upton666:
I'm thinking about doing this. I have two N1's, so if I screw up I can use the other one but the power button is messed up so I'm thinking about trying to Polish the one and if I go wrong i can use the spare until i fix the main one. I'd love to see someone make a how to.
[Nexus One General] josemedina1983:
I have a spare part maybe I should try it but I don't think I would put it on my Nexus One. On a sunny day the shine of the housing might make it impossible to view the screen.

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One General] DownloaderZ:
Why don't you try it? ;)
[Nexus One General] TheSneakerWhore:
Start with 600 grit sand paper--move up until you are using 2000 grit (wet). Use even pressure as you go; you do not want low/high spots. Get the metal as smooth as possible (this will make the polishing easier).

Apply polishing compound and hand buff.

***BE SURE TO TAPE OFF ANYTHING YOU DO NOT WANT TO RUIN***
[Nexus One General] droid512:
Someone make pics of the result

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One General] GnatGoSplat:
Thought I would post a proof of concept. I sanded, sanded, and sanded, then polished one small spot. Still have a ton of sanding left before I can polish the whole thing, but looks like it will work fine. One thing to note is that anodizing is TOUGH! It takes a TON of sanding to get it off. You HAVE to sand it off, because the anodized surface will not polish! The sanding is an exercise in patience.
[Nexus One General] droid512:
Will machine/dremil sanding work or is it to delicate a job that it requires hand sanding

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One General] GnatGoSplat:
I think a Dremel would remove too much material too quickly and cause lots of waviness. Best to do it by hand and be patient, I think. I worked at it some more for what felt like a few more hours (maybe really just an hour) and almost have all the anodizing sanded off except for that part around the back.

Then I have to think about what I'm going to do with the back covers. I can't leave them the same or dye them because they are chewed up, so maybe I will paint them gloss black or try a rubberized black spray.

[LG Optimus 2x] birdfoot:
Hi all,

My wife just bought an LG O2X and the phone is running into some restart/freeze problems so I thought I'd check to see if there are updates available to address the issues.

What I realized immediately was that there isn't an option to perform a software update from the phone. I checked with a colleague's O2X which is running the same phone version as my wife's and found out that there is indeed a "Software Update" option that can be accessed via Settings > About Phone > Software Update. This option is currently missing and I'm wondering if anyone else has the same issue.

Anyway, my software version info

Baseband Version: 1035.21_20110218

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-dirty

Build Number: FRG83G

LGE Version: LGP990-V10a
[LG Optimus 2x] naimmkassim:
I do have the same software version with your wife O2X, but i did not have that problem. There is software update option in my o2X.
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Interesting...

I want a version without this option.

Could you upload the Settings.apk from your wife's phone and attach it here?

It is in /system/app/

In return I'll have a look and if it what I suspect it is can probably get that option back for you.
[LG Optimus 2x] birdfoot:
The phone's not rooted so I'm not sure if I can access it. But I'll see if I can grab that .apk for you later.

It's not so important for me to get that option back but rather I wanna find out if it's something wrong with the s/w that came with the handset; and if there are others who has the same issue.
[LG Optimus 2x] birdfoot:
Hi djmcnz,

Here's the file you wanted.

Cheers
[LG Optimus 2x] mintjustin:
This is indeed weird. For me it was the brightness option which were greyed out and only get enabled after I rebooted the phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Thanks for this, it's quite interesting. The file you posted is from an early build (10a of course but it seems like an early revision of even that).

The one you posted is about 2MB smaller than the rather more common one floating around and contains far less translations into other languages.

You will get that option, without rooting, if you NVFlash the 10b version of the stock rom that is posted here. However, since you're stock and not rooted you can probably update via the LG Desktop tool because I think 10b is general release now. If it is not it won't be long before it is.

You probably won't get OTA update notifications (do you have a file called 'OmaDmclient.apk' in /system/app/ ?) but the desktop tool doesn't depend on these.

You're not missing much and you will get an official update for sure but you can also do it manually if you like.

Thanks for taking the time to post the file.
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Sweet

Actually, I'd like to add to this and say - "sweet".

The LG update system runs on the phone at all times, it consumes about 20MB of RAM and auto-restarts if it's killed. This is the OmaDmclient.apk.

For those running a custom ROM this process is practically useless because it may notify an update is available but it won't be able to download or install it. If you are using a custom ROM you typically get notifications of updates from forums anyway.

Simply removing the OmaDmclient.apk saves the RAM but makes the Settings | About Phone menu force close. I was living with that but wanted to fix it.

Now, having taken some code from the Settings.apk posted here and inserting that into the more recent Settings.apk I can delete the OmaDmclient.apk, save 20MB of RAM and have a fully functioning Settings menu, less the update option I do not use!

20 free MB of RAM is good RAM.

:D

I think I'll release this for others to use.

Thanks again!
[LG Optimus 2x] birdfoot:
Hey djmcnz,

Sorry for the late response. Great find there, I'm glad I'm not missing out much and the file was of use to you. :)

I just got LG to replace the mainboard for me (not to mention upgrade to the new firmware) and so far I wasn't able to reproduce the old issues I had. But I now have the greyed out brightness option. Haha. I'll plug in my SIM card later and see if that might be the issue.

Thanks for looking into this! :)

Hi guys,

I did the stupid mistake of pressing Flahs instead DIAG when I was unlocking a surround with XTC Clip. Now it's stucked on HBOOT mode, I have read yesterday all day long how to solve this issue flashing it from the sd card. I downloaded this rom : "RUU_Surround_Cingular_US_1.03.502.07_Radio_5.51.0 9.06_22.30.50.09U_by_ansar"

I extracted and copied the nhb file to the sd card along with a Mondriand Gold Card that its the one I use always to unlock that phone, but don't know how to rename that .nhb file, I mean, what name put on that file, I have only seeing examples with the desire HD and other ones but not with the surround. And whenever I try to flash it it says No Image foud...

Can any body help me with this?

I dont understand when you said "you take it to me"

Method is simple, just use the Y cable and it will said, no image file... the plug in to the PC and the PC will recognize it (in USB HOST MODE it wont recognize it) And then just flash it with @ansar Surround flash file and thats it.

And yeap, the issue began when I try to unlock it using goldcard method with XTC clip and selected Flash instead DIAG.
