[General Questions and Answers] gaww:
Will a new device forum be set up for the G2X, or will it be combined with the existing LG 2X forum?

If all Recoveries, ROMs, etc are interchangeable I would guess the latter, but if not, I would expect a separate one to keep many people out of trouble.

My device is on order and am already viewing the LG 2X forum.
[General Questions and Answers] nate420:
also ordered yesterday... also wondering... i assume it will need its own thread/forum just like the i9000 and vibrant... (different modems/interfaces)

no one has stated if it will be a part of the LG O2X or have its own thread

i think its shoulda have its own thread just to make everything clearer/ less cluttered
[General Questions and Answers] mapin0518:
Yeah it should have its own thread b/c it's not exactly the same (4G for example).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matejdro:
There are different recovery sizes. 190MB, 400MB and a lot of other sizes.

I like CWM because it's super easy to flash (just download the image to the SD card, even without computer). But it kinda defeats purpose of easy flashing if i have to install different recovery for each rom.

Why cannot these sizes be flashed directly from recovery, so you don't need to reflash from computer?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
If you have a TMoUS HD2, I think you'd be safe to just always use the 400mb one. I think the others are mainly for EU's because of their less ROM space. I could be wrong about it, but I have a 400mb system space and have flashed a few different roms without problems.

I use an ext partition with a2sd, so I never need to worry about system storage space.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matejdro:
I have EU unfortunately. While you can have 400MB all the time, it will shrink data image on ROMs that can have everything stored on device itself.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kolyan:
Some devs highly dont recommend big recoveries for their ROMs.

For ROMs like Miui and CM7 you can get away with with 1 size recovery (150-200), however for Sense ROMs you need a different size, for Sense Lite ROMs a bit less.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

I've just flashed the ROM in my sig,which required 130M recovery.

When the ROM had finished loading I checked the internal phone storage and was very pleased to see 260MB of space.

Largest amount of space I've had from any ROM so far. :D

Hi I know you guys seem to hate Motoblur a bit but I was wondering if there was a port of the Froyo Motoblur as seen on Milestone/DROID 2, Cliq 2, Defy update etc...

Thanks in advance :D

(Also sorry bout posting this in wrong place earlier).

[Nexus One General] addam360:
well that clearly didnt go down well. i knew people hated motoblur but that was unexpected. lol
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
I don't think it's a question of hate or no hate. Currently there are few devs in Nexus community, and no dev potent enough who likes and can possibly port a whole framework from completely another phone. Check if you see any Sense ports on Droids or Galaxys, besides the original, hyper-popular at the time, Droid.
[Nexus One General] addam360:
Yeah I see what you mean about the lack of devs these days. It just seems odd to me that there are so many sense ports and ive seen a couple of gs touchwiz ports but i was surprised that there isnt a single motoblur port. Surely the must be one decent dev who likes it? Oh well ill make do. Thanks though!
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
Its really bad... Most have tried so hard to remove blur that its almost unheard of to port something so ugly and useless.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Combining a DAF rom with CWM

This assumes you have magldr 1.13. if you have an older version, backup your rom data, and flash magldr 1.13 first.

A few times there have been posts asking about applying clockworkmod whilst keeping using a DAF rom.

Here's how.

Image 1 - Top left DAF rom folder contents, top right CWM folder contents, bottom middle, combined contents to a new folder.

Copy only system.img and boot.img from the DAF rom folder, and ALL files from the CWM folder, combine into a new folder as per image 1.

In the new combined folder, find flash.cfg, open it in notepad.

(open notepad and drag the file into the empty window)

Edit the boot and system lines to include the filename, and adjust the size of the system line so that it is bigger than system.img

Image 2 - Top left DAF flash.cfg, top right CWM flash.cfg, bottom middle, combined flash.cfg which started out as the CWM flash.cfg and now references the two extra .img files, system.img and boot.img, plus the size of the system partition has been adjusted to allow system.img to fit.

Save flash.cfg

Boot phone into magldr, USB flashing, run DAF.exe just like normal.

Hey presto, CWM is applied and the DAF rom is installed all in one go.

If you did a backup first using titanium, for example, you should now be able to restore your apps and data without issue, and you should also now be able to boot into CWM from magldr by choosing 8 - AD recovery, and you can now use teh CWM backup and restore feature, plus flash CWM roms.

Note that the 300meg system partition used in this example is just that, and example, simply because i used the original DFT release to test this TUT. You could just as easily use 260meg. So long as it is bigger than the system.img by a meg or two it should be fine.

If you want to change to a smaller rom (or bigger) you would need to flash normal cwm again (not this combined one) using a smaller(bigger) partition layout.

Note that flashing a small rom into a big system partition (example a 130meg cm7 rom into this 300meg system partition) will NOT cause any problems, you would just waste 170meg.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
Nice work Sam, the screen shots made it really easy to understand also. I will be the first to hit the thanks button, even though I prefer to use CWM to flash my Adroid ROMs and not DAF.

Now if yo could figure out how to flash cLK and CWM at the sametime that would be awesome.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Thanks,

yea, me too, and it does have limited uses, but having seen three or four posts asking how they could (for example) use the cwm backup/restore with a DAF rom, i figured id write it up.

As for cLK, i still havent managed to flash cLK on its own! let alone with anything else, hehe. (my fault, im sure, im not blaming anything else, , user error, for sure)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
Oh yeah it is a reason why ROM chefs right for "experienced user" above the cLK instructions I am whale to get cLK flashed and get CWM flashed but still have not got a ROM flashed using it as I did not have a cLK compatible ROM at that point. So I Task 29ed and flash MAGLDR and then CWM then Hyperdroid back to my HD2. I downloaded the cLK compatible ROM night before last but before I could reflash CLK and CWM I accidently busted the LCD screen on my laptop :mad:

As soon as AI actually get a ROM flashed using CLK and CWM I will add it to my guide.

I tried again! I was able to flash the ROM! the phone booted but it gave me directly that my internal memory is almost full notification and many process unexpectedly closed errors! i turned off the phone rebooted but its now stuck on HTC splash screen repeating over and over again without booting into android! Please help!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
This is an outdated tutorial. You should pick the rom you want, put it on the SD card, then into magldr, USB flasher, run the "android toolkit" and use it to set whatever partition size you require, reboot,into magldr, option 8 ad recovery, that starts cwm, then choose instal zip from SD - choose zip. Done.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknown_owner:
With the new leaked GB out, HTC only included Sense 1.0 with it. I wanted to know if there is any rom that is based off the leaked GB but running Sense 2.0 and is close to stock looking rather then extremely customized.

Most of the Rom devs don't list whether they are using Sense 1.0 or Sense 2.0.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Archangel:
Nettalk seems to partially work on the Gtab. I just side loaded it onto my xoom and it works perfectly however on the gtab it hangs up after a while. Just seeing if the community knows of a fix maybe even as easy as a external mic?

Here is the apk you can download from the market for free!!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nitefallz:
There is a microphone though..
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Archangel:
hmmm i wonder why i can hear the person on the other end but they cant hear me but on my xoom it works both ways??
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nitefallz:
Don't know but I wonder if its the same reason Shazam doesn't even setup for me
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Archangel:
I can make calls but they end after 30 secs for some reason and the person on the other end cant hear me? I was wondering if it was a mic issue not hearing anything so it shuts off the call of a programing issue since the xoom has 3G capabilities but the website says it can make calls over wifi?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] frjj:
no microphone??!! I use my Gtab skype with my gf everyday... hmm, guess she really can't hear me in the other end, and she's just pretending that she knows what i'm saying... because there's no microphone...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojeda:
Yes, the gtab does have a microphone.

Now what might be happening here is what happened to me using Skype. For whatever reason, when placing a Skype phone call, the microphone is on mute. Hitting the little button on the bottom left enabled the mic. Calls then went smoothly.

I have to re - enable the mic for each call. A small inconvenience really
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Archangel:
OK good grief LOL i just got my gtab so I am not that familiar with it and was thinking out loud about it not having a mic LOL has anyone side loaded this apk like i did and used it? I hit the mute button and it does nothing?

Edit--- Ok the problem may be my router. I have a Belkin and it is listed as one of the bad ones that only enables one way voip calling going to try tethering.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] dharr18:
Maybe a dumb question, but did you try using speaker phone? BTW, which rom are you running?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ls430cw:
It works for me. Must hit speaker phone. This is really cool. Calukins and Pershoots overclock kernal.

Update: this program works but the person on the other end hears everything they say after they say it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Archangel:
I hit the speaker phone tab in the nettalk program and i can hear the person on the other end but they can not hear me. I am running vegan ginger edition
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Archangel:
That echo that they hear is something the devs for the program are working on
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wd5gnr:
To test it I called 1800555TELL and on the speaker it was getting confused pretty easily. But with a headset plugged in it seemed to be fine. I expect my bluetooth would have been even better but didn't try it. My quick testing on other things tells me the headset jack has no mic in or it isn't switched on. Its just headphones.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Archangel:
Were you able to talk to someone and have them hear you? I can hear them but they can not hear me? I am running vegan gingeredition and do not know if there is something in it that is making it not work?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wd5gnr:
Yes TELL ME is voice response. So I said "News desk" and it went to the news. Then I said "Top stories" and it read me the top stories. You could probably try bing411 if you'd rather.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] herculese1:
yup works perfectly. because the mic is close to the speakers the mic can pic up sound from the speakers and give it the eco effect. when i use it with headphones it works perfectly.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Archangel:
What rom are you running cause i have vegan gingeredition and i dont know if it is the rom or me but the everything works except the person on the other line can not hear me, gonna try an external mic
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wd5gnr:
I'm on Vegan Ginger so not that. Maybe get Volume Master or something off the market and see if you have some gain level turned down or something? I can't recall if it controls mic gain or not. Or try a bluetooth headset.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Archangel:
Ok thank you will do!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] collindv:
Doesn't seem to work for me on calkulin's rom. It just sits there when I try to dial out and eventually stops trying.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] webman418:
Works for me on Calkulin's rom, no problems. :D
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nitefallz:
Just tested this and it works after I turn the speaker phone on, on the tablet. Seems to work fairly well, didn't have a long call though.

Also I must say the screen is very easily scratchable... I'll be more careful with my new Arc.
[Xperia Arc General] mtechfan:
Easily scratchable? I don't think so. If you had it with a pocket pull of keys or coins the display shield might get scratches, but the glass will not.

Ive got a scratch already on the display but if thats on just the protector then im happy how would i go about replacing it?

and i cant get a new xperia arc

what to do now :(

Well go back to the store and show them the dead pixels.

So if you have any dead pixels, you can get it fixed for free?

I have 2 dead pixels on my 2 month old Xperia Neo, but I can only see them if I view a black background.
[Xperia Arc General] Okluzhion:
Those are called "stuck", not "dead" pixels, no? I have one for quite some time now and my arc is a bit more than a month old. But as stated before, I can see it only on dark/black background.

So if anyone is using jboogie's liquidarc rom, i have a question for you: can anyone succesfully run setcpu and milestone or setvsel and successfully overclock/undervolt and scale the cpu? when i do those and run the scaling script from sorensim's guide on modifying the defy, my home and search button stop working, haptic feedback works on them, but they dont do anything when pressed.

[Defy Android Development] darule_2011:
Is usb debugging enabled or disabled? Not sure if this will help, but worth a try to switch back and forth to see if it helps. I have been using liquidarc for a few weeks now and loving it with no real issues to speak of. I was using milestone (what came with rom), but have since removed and gone back to setvsel and have overclocked/undervolted without any issues. All my buttons work.

You might need to redo the steps, and download the files again as perhaps a file was corrupted during download/installation?
