[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carycooke:
I guess the question im asking is it possible to dual boot if it was devved up ??

I guess that would be a clockwork recovery option and partitioning scheme??

maybe im totally lost but it would be nice to dual boot instead of having to flash back and forth from your daily driver ROM to a experimental ROM that has bugs that need to be corrected and flashing back to your daily driver ROM

I like to toy around but once you get your everyday ROM tweaked in not much changes on it

Can someone give me insight on this maybe a break down of why it would or would not work

I know its a noob question but i would like to learn
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BurnOne77:
Well I'm a n00b also and I found myself with backups I made with rom manager and I would hop back and forth between 2 or 3 setups I had. I found nothing wrong with booting into recovery to restore another rom I had then doing the same thing to a different rom the next day. It's probably a good idea to do it when you battery is at 100% though so you don't kill your battery stats.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carycooke:
yea but wouldnt it be cool to have three or even four booting slots pre setup when the devs really come around to where when you have the chance and time you could install this boot order 1=AOSP 2=MUUI 3=CM7 4=SENSE

and instead of flashing back and forth you could just select from boot menu and boot up to which ever flavor you feel like running that day
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carycooke:
or maybe even a script that could run that could maybe flip through ROMS like flipping through themes and instead of rebooting it would just change boot images,system files, and apks in memory like a emulator then you could install one ROM and have the best of many devs work

LOL just thinking stupid stuff but is it possible ??? would love to hear Adrynalynes thoughts or some of these devs around here

LOL just tell me im stupid and it cant happen and ill move on
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbtaf:
I am not a dev, but look up dual booting on the Nook color, and you can see that it is possible for Android system. Whether or not it can be done on the TB is another question. :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanam:
The inc has dual booting. It's possible but will take some time. Only crazy talented devs such as r2doesinc can do stuff like this.

Sent from my thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xkingofgodzx:
Yeah and the dual booting on the Inc was pretty recent. I had it basically since release and rooted about a week after root was available. Im pretty sure dual booting was just done within the past 2 months...
[Defy General] Pararocker:
(firstly sorry for my bad english)

Hey,

I have downloaded http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1037076 this rom. I flashed it to my Motorolda Defy (before I had Eclair update1 .CEE). I used RSDlite. Now I have this 2.2.2-177.

Any backups, anything, I 'updated' my official Eclair and later clicked in settings 'Restore to Factory Settings' and 'Format SD-card'.

1. Is there any possibilty to downgrade back to Eclair?

2. Now I have not warranty, right? What to do to have it back?

3. When Motorola will make an official Froyo, I will have possibilty to flash it to my device (instead 2.2.2-177 nordic)?

4. Is there any good FAQ/guide for novices? About backups (what is nandroid, titanium backup, etc.), roms (how to flash, what is it, etc.), revovery, restore, wipe, bootloader and more things like it?

5. What I should do after installing this rom which I have now?

6. 2ndinit is to use instead a clockmod recovery?

Thanks, Pararocker
[Defy General] labsin:
1 yes

2 yes, they can see you flasher a leaked rom. No chance of getting warranty back. Ones u flashed an undowngradable sbf without fix, you have to use tricks to install new sbf's.

3 normally you could.

4 nand backup is backup of system and data you can store on your sd-card.

To flash downgr rom onto a nondowngr, first root and install custom recovery, restore a nand backup of the rom you can find on the treat of that rom and install fixed sbf.

In the first post in Android dev is described how to make a fixed sbf.

There is a treat in and dev al about how to downgrade. Use search bar.

5 if you like this rom, there is nothing you have to do.

6 you can use it to speed the process of recovering for dev.

It can also more imp. run custom roms instead of those of motorola.
[Defy General] Pararocker:
Thanks,

what is fixed SBF?

I have read about it in nordic-177-treat, but nowhere I found information what it is.

I flashed my rom with RSDlite, using SBF file. I had to fix it (how?) before installing? Or what?

So if Motorola makes an official rom and I flash it into my device, I won't have warranty back?

No chance to have it back? (wiping all data etc and flashing an another rom, futere official rom?)

EDIT:

How to know which rom I can now install instead this which I have now?

Now I have:

Where I should look which room I can install now? They have to have lower number to 177 or what?

eg. I know that I can't install Eclair ROM, but do I can install nordic-155? Or chineese official rom? And how to check it myself?
[Defy General] thiagold:
I have this doubt either....
[Defy General] labsin:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966537

It's a link with all the sbf (firmware's).

An sbf is a combination of different partitions. Just read the link.

The leaked beta rom's are compiled with different checksum for 2 partitions.

At the button of the page there's a title downgrade. Follow that and there's no chance to not be able to downgrade or install possible official upgrades without loosing warranty.

If you would have flashed a undowngradeable rom, you can do flash updates the same as you would flash an undowndradeable.

Now your on an undowngradable rom. This means IF something would happen that could fall under warranty, try to restore a nandbackup and flash a fixed official rom. It could be that they discover it, i don't know what they do with returned phone's. Someone already posted that he got his phone back with a new motherboard because he ****ed something up.

You can flash all leaked and beta sbf's now without having to worry about warranty. ;)

Im running tnt 4.4 and am having issue with stock 3d gallery.

Wanted to know if anyone knows wher i can get stock gallery app. Any inf on how to install it would be helpful too
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Oozura:
not sure about the stock app, but i moved to "quick pic" to support my massive photo gallerys. it loads incredibly fast.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wmedina1991:
Well im looking for something that will allow me to set wallpapers that look right.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] xyrcncp:
I second this, QuickPic is much, much faster than the 3D Gallery app. I don't know that making wallpapers "look right" is really on the Gallery app (stock or not), but on the size and resolution of the wallpaper.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wmedina1991:
Whats the resolution gtab
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] amusedkid:
1024 by 600.

I'm quickpic too. Wallpapers looking great :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] edirector:
I have it as a apk if you can give me a little time I will post it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] hitekredneck:
I would get Quick Pic for a gallery replacement, it is much more functional than any stock version and blistering fast as well. Then get multi picture live wallpaper to set your wallpaper with. After install you will have to choose wallpaper -> live wallpapers -> multi picture live wallpaper to set your wallpapers to display correctly on your tablet.

The best combo I have found for this tablet and my CM7 Nook Color. MPLW is the only I way I have found to get wallpapers to display correctly on any tablet that I have ever dealt with. There is a thread about this particular problem around here somewhere, search is your friend. Do a search for multi picture live wallpaper in the Gtab forums and you will find it. I think it (the thread) even goes as far as telling you the way to modify existing images or create your own to display correctly when chosen as wallpaper when you choose them by using the traditional method.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] edirector:
OK here is the link thanks for being patient....http://www.mediafire.com/?1vhjevbevl74vzy
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] hitekredneck:
One more I want to toss in the ring.

Flick Ur Pic.

Get it from the market and use it in place of the Multi Picture Live Wallpaper I mentioned earlier. It scales the images perfectly on my Gtab. You use it just like MPLW in that you use it from the live wallpaper chooser. You can set up to nine images to rotate, or use only one and make it static with no transition effects. This one even has it's own image browser so there is no need to even have a gallery installed to use it as far as I can tell. I do still recommend Quick Pic as a gallery app for everyday image duties such as browsing and such.

Works great for me and this is the one that I will be sticking with from here on out unless it starts causing problems in other areas. LOL

Have fun with it ..... HTR

Rom info?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsWLM:
I think I'll just deal with it. I just now got everything to my liking as far as settings and things are concerned. Is CM7's wireless tether working? I may try that ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
It's REALLY easy to uninstall and reinstall the app, I shouldn't take much to get it working. Built in tether works fine for me on CM7.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Go into applications, find it, uninstall it, then re-download from the market, try again.

The native hotspot will work in both roms.

Wireless tether WILL NOT work in CM7/gingerbread rom, so don't do it.

I am not really sure which way to go. I want a stock rom, but I am unsure if I should go to a stock GB rom, or stay with a stock Froyo rom. I want whatever has the best battery life and memory, and is also stable. I tried some of the Sense roms, and those were just not great on battery for me.
[Droid Incredible General] bomber889:
Everyone gets different battery life with different roms. You'll have to experiment for yourself to see which rom+kernel gets you the best battery life
[Droid Incredible General] Mrhorology:
Would you agree that sense-less roms get batter battery life?
[Droid Incredible General] I Am Marino:
I'd go for the CM7 Stable build, it's the only build I've been pleased with since day one and never have issues with.
[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
In my experience, yes. I would also recommend CM7.
[Droid Incredible General] PGleo86:
I'd recommend CM7 as well. I've been happy with the stock kernel's battery life, and the T-Mobile Theme Chooser is great, sort of like Sense 2.0 themes
[Droid Incredible General] Mrhorology:
Is there anyway to use a different launcher like the Sony arc launcher or even the stock GB launcher?

Not at all, i get way better battery life on z roms with ziggys 3/12 bfs wo kavs kernel, cm7 has decent, but for me it cant toucj the combo i use. Ziggy makes amazing sense kernels.

+1

or if you can get ur hands on the OMFGB 1.2 RC2 or wtvr the kids r callin it these days (think he linked it on twitter @r2doesinc) along with incredikernal, id suggest that... doubled-tripled my batt life over stock and no stupid fcs or anything, but it doesn't play well with any launchers i tried, but maybe it's just me...
[Droid Incredible General] BYUsinger84:
I also recommend Cyanogenmod7. Last night I had it unplugged at 7 AM and when I plugged it back in at midnight I still had 70%! Couldn't believe it. It's super stable too. Honestly my favorite.
[Droid Incredible General] raptir:
If you're looking at AOSP ROMs ("stock"), I'd probably go with Gingerbread. The only real concern is that 720p recording does not work, and won't until HTC brings GB officially and releases the source.
[Droid Incredible General] Mrhorology:
I was also thinking about just staying with the stock rom. I am using a different launcher, and I wanted to try to find out which apps are safe to remove.

I am using Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27 for

Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 since Octomber and i must say that it is awesome! None scratch, and very good feeling!

Information

Crystal-clear and anti-reflective, hard-coated, dirt-repellent, very simple assembly, residue-free removal

The totally new 3M Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27 is designed for application on electronic screens and offers reliable protection from scratches and soiling.

The surface of the film is as smooth and shiny as glass. Adhesive and film are both crystal clear so that when applied, the film appears transparent. The special feature of this film is an additional anti-reflection coating that, in comparison to normal films, reduces the intensity of mirror images. The screen contrast can thereby be increased In high ambient light areas (if the screen is not already equipped with an anti-reflection coating). Black becomes even blacker.

The hard coating of the Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27 furthermore offers optimal mechanical protection from scratches. An additional non-adhesive layer ensures that the protective film is also dirt-repellent enabling the removal of ball-point pens and marker pens ink through dry wiping.

An optimised adhesive layer ensures an easy-to-apply, bubble free application of the Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27. The adhesive layer is only slightly adhesive and readily forms a film over even surfaces. The protective film can easily be removed or repositioned at any time.

The film is optimised for use on resistive and capacitive touch screen and does not impair operability.

Our Vikuiti™ screen protectors are cut by laser in Germany on state-of-the-art machinery. Exact tailoring to forms and excellent border adhesion are guaranteed.

One package (set) contains:

1 Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27. For devices with multiple displays, the package contains one film for each display.

So i did a search, and didn't quite find what was looking for.

My G2 (T-Mobile USA) market, is a T-Mobile modified version. Even after a complete format/Wipe and install of CM7.

My market has a "T-Mobile" button on the front page, instead of a "My Apps" button. Takes me to T-Mobile recommended apps. (bottom of the green header, where you can select Apps, Games, My Apps (or in my case, T-Mobile).

I was wondering how i can get it back to the standard Market, where it is My Apps. I don't need T-mobiles recommendations for apps. =)

(and yeah i know i can just hit Menu>My Apps, but its just annoying. I hate bloatware, and carrier modifications. The reason i use CM7 is for stock, and the only thing NOT stock about my phone now, is this little mod. Its not a big thing, just a little annoying is all.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Mnementh666:
I'm probably wrong, but I think it reads your carrier, not the phone. No matter what ROM I flash (DZ, G2, Sense, CM7, whatever), I get the Tmo button on the market. Irritating, but at least the "My Apps" is available under the Menu button on Market.

I had thought of that, however, i have 3 phones (4 actually, ones not here tho); My T-Mobile G2, a Nexus One, and a My Touch 3G 3.5mm; all on T-Mobile, all with T-Mobile sim cards, yet my G2 is the ONLY phone that shows the T-Mobile Recommendations. The other two phones show the My Downloads.

This leads me to believe its NOT tied to the sim card. In fact, this is the sim card i took out of my Nexus One when i upgraded. and when this SAME sim card was in my Nexus One, i had a My downloads.

Hmm any other ideas? Again tho its not a HUGE deal, just would be nice if i could straighten this last little bit of carrier influence, out of my phone. =)
