but after flashing this rom to my elfin it stucks at smart mobility

any idea

please help
[Touch GSM General] kokotas:
Assuming that you did all the steps correctly, did you recmod sys modules?(Having ticked AutoRecModSYS)

PS: Since this is about B2 kitchen you should ask in that thread...and avoid opening a new one.

Do you have any nandroid backups on your sd card. A few of them can easily take up a couple GB.

I've done this already and i still feel like i deleted something important to my system. Can you tell which folders are okay to delete?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
I might be wrong, and I'm happy to be corrected. The few file that the android system places on your SD card would just be put back the next time you reboot if you were to delete them.

If you have your SD card partitioned and use a rom with apps to SD and you were to delete files from the ext partition you could run in to problems.

My G2 came with an offline car navigation software by htc. Its maps were "hidden" in /sdcard/.data

They were about 2Gb in size. I copied them to my harddrive - just in case - and then deleted them from the sd card.

The command

du /sdcard |sort -n

should also be helpful in finding out were your memory went.

Hi everybody, got my 2nd Arc.

first one was directly from Sony Ericsson without any extra **** from ISP. But my second phone has some ISP software, and I can feel the phone is more slow then without.

So my questions my fellow forum subscribers.

What to do so I have the best and newest android room.

Is there any guides from a nOOb? I had seen there is a lot of threads in the develop sector, but its to difficult to know what to do???

So Pls kind people, give me some thumbs up to learn more about Android.

Thanks in forward

[Xperia Arc General] commodoor:
If you just started using your phone it can feel a little bit slow. But give it time it will get better after all the cache is build etc.

What do you want to do with your phone, right now you can root, root is getting acces to the system files and editing them, what you can't do normally.

I would say just play with the phone after there are some custom roms you can really start playing with android.
[Xperia Arc General] Immanueldk:
Well I just need a clean phone without any extra software from my ISP.

Its like JB an iPhone.

Clean stable ROM is what im looking for.
[Xperia Arc General] commodoor:
Right now there is no clean rom, you can only root and manually remove system apps. but be careful with this because it can brake other system applications.

now here it goes:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sengokubattosai:
So it's possible I might just be dumb and screwed up, but I think I might have reformatted something that I didn't mean to reformat.

I wanted to wipe my SD card because I found that there were random pics appearing in my gallery of people I've never seen before in my life (got the phone second hand but popped the SD card in that I used with my old Fascinate). Opening up My Computer, there were two different removable discs that were the SD card inside my phone and what I now presume to be internal storage. I backed up everything I wanted and wiped both the SD card and the other storage device via my laptop.

Here is the problem. Whenever I boot the phone up, there is a notification that says my SD card is either blank or not in a compatible format... It asks if I want to format it, I click OK, and everything seems fine... Until I have to reboot the phone and it does the same thing all over again. This is getting to be an annoyance because I don't want to keep deleting everything on my SD card whenever I reboot my phone.

Can anybody help me fix this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sengokubattosai:
Okay I definitely did something to the internal storage. I tried taking my SD card out and rebooting it and I am still getting the blank SD card notification. It won't let me format it. What do I do? :confused:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themikeflynn:
Try connecting the sdcard to your computer through a usb adapter, or any alternative to using the phone's USB-mount. Format it with FAT32. Put it back in your phone and see if it works. If not, you might have a corrupt sdcard. Try a different one if available.

What directory were the pictures appearing in? It's possible they were cached from the browser or some social app.
[Folio 100 General] Oinquer:
Hello everyone,

i have one of these devices, and im pretty much happy with the system...the android 2.2 made it much smoother and nice to use.

2 questions...

i found the source for android 2.2 for this device (this means i can cook my ROM's right?).

need to make some changes since i need wifi on with screen off and some other small stuff....and theres no Wifi Policy Option...

if someone has a better way please tell!

second: since theres a source out, honeycomb might be closer?

i would start my way on doing some stuff related to rom modding so i could get closer to port something like it....

Thank you for your time!

Hi Guys,

Not sure if this is just me or if there's a setting i can switch to stop this happening, but more and more i'm seeing a lot of Foreign junk apps in the marketplace - lots of Chinese and such.

Is there a way that i can filter these out - i've no interest in seeing them and they're just becoming annoying as there's about 40 of them seem to come on each day, and scrolling past them all to see what's new is really becoming annoying....

Cheers

Paul
[Windows Phone 7 General] awrnsmn:
Ya, their loading up the crap apps aren't they!?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
This has proves how efficient MS filter their apps and what they promise us,the quality of apps.....

It is so annoying,there are so many foreign apps(mostly are books i think), and it is not free anyway,some are expensive....

Straight to the conclusion,you can't filter apps.because MS said,they already filtered and the one on the marketplace is the quality one.

How do we hack the Home Screen Tips Widget?

There seems to be one included with a few roms. I'd like to be able to change it so that I can use it to learn Japanese words. Is it just a question of editing an xml file or something? Does anyone know where it is stored? If it is baked in a rom, is it therefore impossible to edit?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kyouko:
Decompile the apk, and inside the /res/values/ directory look at the arrays.xml file

CM source -> HERE
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Grant Barker:
Thanks a lot!

I'll get to it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Grant Barker:
I'm unable to get it to work at the moment. I've been following this video tutorial too. Are there any obvious things I could be doing wrong please?

I can decompile the apk and rebuild it after changing it. The apk will run but fail to install. Or if I install it in a zip file and via Recovery it seems to install but doesn't show up in System/Apps. (I'll try pushing it with adb)

How do we disable verification? (10:40)

(I'm using CM7 7.02)

Thanks for any help. :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hrk:
You cannot replace a "system" app with an apk which is not signed as a "system app". I had the same issue when I started fixing the DCIM incompatibility in the stock Camera app.

My question for you is: do you have the arrays.xml file already compiled to suit your needs? What phone do you have (HDPI, MDPI, LDPI)? I can make you a custom widget and send it to you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Grant Barker:
That's very kind of you hrk.

The phone is an HTC Desire HD.

I should keep trying to learn to do it myself to be honest because I'll be changing it every couple of weeks hopefully, once I learn certain words etc.

Maybe you could talk me through the steps you take or maybe you use different methods or a different program compared to the video?

Anyway thanks for your kind offer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hrk:
I set up a build environment (read "I can cook ROMs"). This way I can modify the original Protips project, and then build the apk with the AOSP signing key. If you are running a Stock ROM or a customROM which has not changed the signing keys (e.g.: CyanogenMod uses the same key AOSP uses), the Protips.apk will work flawlessly.

Setting up a build environment requires a bit of time and around 5 GB of hard disk, but it's something everybody can do. The beauty and winning point of Android Open Source Project. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Grant Barker:
That's great. Thanks hrk.

I'll follow your advice and set up a build environment..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Grant Barker:
It's good fun. I just finished the example project Hello World.

I'm pleased I listened to you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hrk:
That's good to hear, but when I wrote "build environment" I meant the entire platform. :)

With the Android SDK you can build apps, but you won't be able to properly sign them: you can have your own signature and publish them in the Market, but you can't "re-sign" system apps.

Good work!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Grant Barker:
Ah. I see what you mean.

Maybe that will be the next step in the near future. :eek:

In the meantime I'm inspired to make a similar app/widget from scratch which will do what I need..

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jazux:
I think no because we need the system signing key :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kyouko:
Any signer should work. But depending on how you edit and build the apk, you might not be able to "install" it, but have to push it instead
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jazux:

ComEd said it could be up to two days because of the storms lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hrk:
Read my previous posts on this very topic.

You can't sign a system app without using the system key. It can't be easier than that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jazux:
Yes i read those... but does it need to be system signing? I mean you can push regular apps to /system too :p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hrk:
Yes, you can push any apk file to /system directory, but you cannot replace a system app (an app which counts as "android system app") with another apk file that is not signed with the system signing key.

A different question: what are you trying to accomplish? Why do you want to change the app?

First you need to install Clockworkmod. You will find a guide in the root forum. Afterwards, first thing you should do, is taking an update via CWM (clockworkmod). Then you install this update, also via CWM, from your external SD card. Of course, first you need to put the zip on it ;)

hi everyone

I am new to android and I am trying to understand android from starting and what I wonder

when we use magdlr do we lost last 24 mb of our storage?( if yes i am sad abt it as leo eu user)( any rom supports last 24 mb of nand? )

which rom is good to use froyo or ginger ? ( i read that ginger has some problems with gps and fm radio )

thanks for help
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
I wouldn't think of it as 'losing' 24 mb of memory, its more like it's just unusable. In MAGLDR, you have the option to unlock those 24 mb, but it is advised against as it could potentially corrupt the internal memory. Having a EU HD2, you should look into partitioning your sd card with an ext4 partition and using DarkTremor's A2SD script, putting all your apps to the sd card makes a huge difference. Out of 750mb internal storage, I have 650mb left, with hundreds of apps installed thanks to DT's A2sd and a 1gb ext4 partition. Just don't use one of the beta scripts, go for an older, stable one.

As far as stability and speed, 2.3 beats 2.2. If you're looking for something fast and stable, try a CyanogenMod ROM (CM7 is 2.3 GingerBread, CM6 is Froyo)

As far as I can tell, the MIUI FM Radio app works on the ROM in my sig, it loads up, but requires bluetooth to work (dunno why??) and I can confirm wifi and gps works too.

With just about any NAND build, you'll have visit AngelDeath's gps thread to decrease lock times, as gps is slower with Android than with WinMo. But with proper gps.conf, you can get cold lock in around a minute.

Coming from a Nexus One user, this is probably the best phone out, it has EVERYTHING.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] kampf:
I also came from a Nexus One and I've been impressed, but I was talked into putting a screen protector on and I know this is dulling the display.

I second the relief of having the relatively large amount of space available for apps. I'd moved everything possible to the SD on my Nexus One and kept bumping into local storage issues when getting under 25MB free.

Hope I don't have to go back to that phone, but I'm keeping it around for at least another 29 days.

Help - bricked the camera, need the original firmware

While playing with my new Samsung Galaxy i7500 android 1.6, I installed Anycut, and a shortcut to the "Camera firmware" activity. You can reach the same app by dialing the code *#*#34971539#*#*.

Once you launch the Camera firmware, there will be 4 menu entries:

update camera firmware in image - do NOT do this

update camera firmware in sdcard

get camera firmware version

get firmware update count

I chose the first option, and the phone took a while to (probably) flash something, then rebooted. After that reboot, the camera no longer works. It displays a black screen and force closes when I clicked any button, or the screen.

I've since flashed the H8 and G8 firmwares, the Fatal1ty mod, and did lots of factory resets. However, the camera is still broken, and other applications (e.g. SnapTell, Wikitude) can't use it.

If I click "get camera firmware version" in the Camera firmware screen, I get:

CurrentVer: A9A9

RecentVer: DBB6

I guess that this weird "Camera firmware" 'activity' flashed a crap firmware over the camera, which is somehow separate from the "entire" firmware. No matter how many ROMs I've flashed, the camera firmware was not affected.

Can someone please tell me how to get the original camera firmware?
