Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has progressed with android for the himalaya.

Thinking of flashing a new rom to mine. It hasn't been used for 2 months. lol

Thanks

Heh I revived my himalaya today from some parts :D

No way.

I have received my replacement x10 and found it was on 1. 6 (refurbished) so I updated, then rooted using flashtool installed launcher pro plus then cleaned the phone using flashtool, also installed mt and updated to bb .58 now if I put any sort of load on the phone it has a hissy fit and reboots a few times, on some occasions I had to remove the batt to stop it, and by load I mean downloading three apps or watching a movie or even trying to use ringdroid to name but a few instances. Have I rooted it wrong? Or would restoring apps from titanium backup cause a problem. Also even though I installed it xrecovery is not on it.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
What firmware did you flash? Should be 2.1.A.0.435 or newer. That will give you dualtouch implementation in the update.

Newer baseband does not always mean better. Check what is working best for your region.

Run "repair software" via SEUS or PC Companion. Then use flash tool 0.2.9.1 to root, optimise (enable JIT) and install xRecovery.

xRecovery is not an app that will show up in app tray. Have to reboot, and when Sony Ericsson appears start tapping back button to access xRecovery menu.

Here's a step by step guide for updating from 1.6. It's based on X10a, so just use X10i ftf firmware with the flash tool.....

I upgraded to Wolf's CM6 v61 and ive noticed a decrease in battery life. Checked the battery usage and the Android OS is using 80%. Anyone know what the Android OS consists of? (bluetooth, wifi, music apps.... ect..???)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redarrow75:
Try to wipe battery stats in xrecovery. I'm using the same custom ROM and I'm pretty satisfied with the battery life. Do not use any task killers. You don't need them.

Somehow I managed to mess up CW recov 3.0.2.4 to where anytime i try to do something, i get "Can't mount /cache/recovery/command" and a bunch of other files in /cache/recovery/. I cant wipe, flash or do anything now. and i just tried setting up ADB, and my phone doesnt show up in adb devices. is there anyway i can flash CW recovery? or fix ADB?

need help ASAP, TIA
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Lets try the more simple solution first. Have you tried booting the phone normally and re-flashing CWM through ROM Manager?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELBdelorean:
Try flashing CWM through ROM Manager.

EDIT: I need to post faster. :P

it doesnt boot. it sticks at the flash screen. If it could boot, i know multiple ways on how to flash a recovery from within android. im trying to boot now, but ive let it sit at the splash screen for 15+ mins.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELBdelorean:
Have you tried to get into the bootloader? Power on while holding Volume-down.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
thats what I'm in right now. I can do that, and go into recovery, but anytime i try to actually do something in recovery, i get all those Not Found and Error Mounting errors

What exactly was done to get to the position u in now? What method did u use to root the phone,gfree method?? Do u have the eng bootloader 0.85.2007?? Have u tried the pd15 file & part7backup file method by stickin those to file to the root of the sd card??
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
not a clue what i did...dont remember which method i used, it was quite a long time ago. just that right now, nothing works. i just tried flashing via fastboot, but cant because i dont have the engineering bootloader..

I dnt believe theres a fix for it if it doesnt have the eng bootloader.. I mean u can try searchin the threads but I had that issue & never found a fix & I had the eng bootloader but ive read that people managed to get it wrkin around the Q&A threads....

Sorry to say, but that doesn't sound good. There have been several people lately who have been in the exact same situation, and no one has been able to recover from it. If you had the engineering bootloader, you could use fastboot to flash a fresh recovery, but that obviously isn't an option.

[Android Apps and Games] Charles Darke:
OK. Version 1.0 of Blade Buddy released. Features include changing the following settings:

- Hardware acceleration (required for some games to run)

- Disable boot animation

- Enable/Disable Stagefright codecs (helps some games, and videos - depends on device whether this helps or not)

- Disable forced camera shutter sound

- Change LCD Density

- Change WIFI scanning interval

- Alter Dalvik VM Heap Size

- Alter Dalvik VM Heap Start Size

- Alter Dalvik VM Heap Growth Limit

- Ability to remount /system as read-write or read-only, effectively turning any explorer into a Root Explorer

- Integration with basic settings Spare Parts Plus!

Get it now from the Android Market for free:

As a sneak peak and to show what future ideas I have on the roadmap, see screenshots below:
[Android Apps and Games] stkiswr:
I installed the spare parts plus and found this app too. I have changed my vm heap to 64m for testing purposes and so far its a great app. Not much info inside the app as far as explaining vm heap growth etc but as long as you know what you are doing this is an excellent tool

I would like to add that a reboot option after changing vm heap or at least notifying that the susystem should be rebooted to stick settings wouldn't hurt. Very nice app
[Android Apps and Games] obsidianchao:
What's the hex editor do? Is it like GameCIH or something?

As for everything else, I'm a bit phobic of bad things happening to my phone, so I won't PERSONALLY utilize it, but great app, dude.
[Android Apps and Games] Charles Darke:
Thanks. Good suggestion on the notification. I will add this for the next release.

Regarding documentation, check the website, it has some documentation on the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Charles Darke:
Re: hexeditor, this is to change some specific files, but I haven't implemented this yet.

I also released a clockworkmod zip recovery file. if you have a working CW recovery and mess up your settings, you can install the zip from CWR and undo the mess you make ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Charles Darke:
I added the notification.

I also added a reboot option in the menu. This includes a quick reboot of only the UI sub-system so that you get a 'fast reboot'.
[Android Apps and Games] stkiswr:
Wow...now that's service! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] A5J4DX:
wow this is awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] YuryAC:
How safe is it to do these things really? Nexus One.
[Android Apps and Games] Charles Darke:
if you have CWR installed, then it should be safe, as you should be able to undo whatever mess you make using CWR and the recovery zip file.

I'm trying to set a shortcut to use the ui reboot as an icon on my home screen. I'm using lpp. Nice to have a reboot activity
[Android Apps and Games] dcharleyultra:
And if we use Amon_RA recovery?
[Android Apps and Games] forceu:
Oh great. so I just wanted to try disabling boot animation and apparently your app writes all the values into the /data/local.prop - even these that are unchanged.

Well, my problem was that the read out LCD density values were wrong and so my phone thought after a reboot I had a 30x45 pixel screen -.-

Took me half an hour to delete that file so I could use my phone again. Change this, it takes only a few more minutes to program that only changed values are written in the file!

By the way, I'm using a HTC Magic with CM6.1, 2708er Kernel and 2.22.28.25 radio.

I hope that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] hailmary:
i will download this Blade app,looks & sounds like a very productive tool.

but im a little noob to the deeper android terms..what is a dalvik thing?

what does it do?

i love the reboot & other tweak features but i dont know whats the dalviks are.

hope u guys can give me any hint about it thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] jdb78:
Dalvik is the name of the virtual machine used in Android. Heap size has to do with the amount of memory reserved for apps in easy words I guess.

Nevertheless if you don't know what you are doing, you are not supposed to mess with those settings. The devs of your favorite ROM will set everything up to the best possible configuration I assume.
[Android Apps and Games] Charles Darke:
I have a separate free reboot app which does this. Click on the more apps in main menu to download from market.
[Android Apps and Games] Charles Darke:
the app reads existing settings from the different prop files and also current settings and writes those. It shouldn't change anything unless it is not defined. Can you send me a copy of your .prop files so i can review? And or send me a screenshot of what the settings are on read? Thanks.

Also you can use the zip file to reset from cwm if settings are messed up.
[Android Apps and Games] bladez:
Didn't even touch the LCD Density settings, but it made my screen really, really big after reboot (I only enabled Stagefright and longened WiFi search).

Got everything back with Clockwork recovery reset file, but...... wtf?

Thanks for the feedback. I will release a test app for those having this issue who want to help fix for their phones.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
I have been searching around alot how to port rom's and I found this method

I wanted to try this out for the htc hero cdma. So I decided to port a rom from the Evo 4G to the Hero CDMA. I used this method and after I flash the rom it just reboots constantly on the splash screen (htc white screen). So I was wondering is it because of the HDPI images in the apk files not working on a MDPI device? Do I need to convert each and every HDPI png image to MDPI size? Also I'm porting the GingerSense rom from the Evo 4G that was made by TMartinPPC in the Evo 4G forums. I'm on the HTC Hero CDMA as I stated above. If you all can help out that would be great. I can't get a logcat because it won't even let me do that :( I really want to learn how to port roms, as I know how to develop them just I wanted to expand my knowledge of android development by learning how to port roms as well.

[MOD] Customized Weather Sync Settings

This is for v3.70 based deodexed ROMs.

Are you like me and you don't like the stock update frequencies of 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, once a day?

Where I live the weather can change quickly, and I wanted some better options on update frequency for my weather.

I came up with this:

Flash the zip from recovery and you're all set!

I rooted my G2x easily & had no issues, but when I reboot my phone or unplug it from the computer & plug it back in later, Android Commander won't recognized that it is rooted anymore & I have to run the SuperOneClick again for it to find root access. It had no issues on my phone, just Android Commander. Can someone tell me how to get it to stick on AC so it will always find root access not matter what ?

Guys I'm going to Europe and I'm taking my Atrix with me to use at free or open wifi hotspots. Now I want to do some banking through my bank's web site but is it safe to do that wirelessly on open hotspots??

Thanks for your time.
[General Questions and Answers] conantroutman:
Short answer......... probably not.

Ok theres probably not that much of a chance someone will be sitting there sniffing for your personal details but in this day and age, you never know.

Im sure plenty of people do what your asking about, but I wouldnt.
[General Questions and Answers] zack_sparrow:
Never use open wifi tyyi login your backing stuff. That's only rule of using open wifi, basically.
[General Questions and Answers] SteveUK87:
I would say the same never use open wifi for banking.
[General Questions and Answers] CptAJ:
I wouldn't use it either but really... are we being paranoid here? Banks always have securely encrypted interfaces. Thats basically the same security level as using "secure" wifi. So if you're not willing to do this in open wifi, you're not willing to do it in wifi at all because the same risks apply. In fact, the "secure" wifi encryption will likely be broken before the bank's ever is.

You'd have to worry about man in the middle attacks but really, they'd have to know which bank you're using and clone the interface before hand. You'll be abroad and mobile so that will be pretty ****ing hard to do.

Not trying to sway you either way. But I figured the flipside of the argument needed a voice here =P
[General Questions and Answers] Delna:
Many post have said about the dangerous of using open wifi hotspots......

I even suggest that you shouldn't use your phone to do something is important.........

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
dont panic!.. remove and replace the battery.. press up + down vol then plug USB cable. you will get the same screen but you will hear a sound from your computer that the usb is plugged in. then flash again.. once its completed it will back to normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nexio:
ill try that thanx!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] got_thang?:
yeah what he said. :) happened to me once but got back on the right track :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nexio:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
Try restarting your computer and try it again..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] poopypoo13:
Yes try restarting your pc

Open odin v1.7

Take battery out, put battery back in

Then Hold up + down volumn keys then plug usb

You will/will not get the downloading screen but don't be scared

Look on your odin flasher and make sure it is connected to com 3 or com 5(it will be highlighted in yellow), if it is then your good

Put the deodexed kc1 file in the pda tab and make sure re-partition is unticked

Then hit start, might take a bit longer but it will surely revive your phone

Hope that helps
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gagb1967:
Mine worked on com4. The com number is of not importance.

i had the same issue

Unplug usb

Reset odin.

Reload file on pda

Reconect usb

Try again to flash

If it continues failing, download the rom again
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nexio:
still waiting halfway downloaded. after is done do i wipe data, cache, dalvik or just restart!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gagb1967:
Can wipe if you want I didn't and it flies
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nexio:
now am stuck on the galaxy s 4g logo!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] WP4WP4:
I used Odin 3_v1.0 and it worked. You need to remove the battery and reflash with Odin. If you get the phone and computer symbol just remove the usb cable, re start odin and connect the cable to your phone and try again. You do not need to remove the battery. I was able to flash my that way.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nexio:
now when i try to install it fails right before its almost done weird!!! tried it 4 times already same thing every time!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
Close Odin. Disconnect phone. Pull battery. Put battery back in, while holding both volume buttons plug in cord. It will show the error on your phone again. Start Odin again. Load rom in PDA section. Click start. You can wipe user data and cache. And click reboot. Then give it time to rebuild. Ten minutes. The reboot again to clear up bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nexio:
How do i wipe data and cache i cant even get into recovery mode!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] poopypoo13:
In the recovery menu (turn phone off then hold volumn key up and power key)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
It will go into recovery when it reboots itself after you flash with Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nexio:
I tried all that it seems i dont have recovery cause when i install threw odin it doesnt bring it to recovery just shows glaxy s 4g logo!!! And i tried the up and down volumes that didnt work either i am so stuck wow!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
When you flash with Odin just leave it alone for awhile. While its flashing give it ten minutes. When its done it should be in recovery. Then just hit the power button to reboot.

If it doesn't work you have other issues. Did you flash it with a pit file? Do not flash this phone with a pit.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nexio:
Yes i did some guy put up a pit file and i flashed it and my phone went blank!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
You may want to start reading up on how to use Heimdall. I am not sure that will even solve your issue. But it may.

If it doesn't, then you either need to wait for a working pit.

Or

Clockwork mod recovery.

Which ever comes first.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uncled1023:
I was wondering, is there any type of hack or midification where we would be able to add codecs to the phone in order to play .flac files? I have a lot of my music in that format, and would love to play it. I believe that the first hurdle would be to get the zune player to recognize it, so is there any way to do that as well?

Just a thought. Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Getting Zune to recognize it is not hard; it's a registry edit under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (HKCR) much like it is on Windows. You can look at how WMA and MP3 are handled.

Adding the codec itself... interesting idea. On desktop Windows, codecs are DLLs (they may have other extensions, but that's what they are internally) that take a compressed stream in one function and return an uncompressed stream. It's relatively easy to add more codec support into the OS; create new DLLs to do the decoding, and register them.

The creation of the codecs is possible. I don't know if managed code would work, so you'd probably need to use the native WinCE dev tools. If there's already a FLAC decoder for older versions of WinMo on AR, it may work unmodified. Registering it, though... no idea how to do that. There may be an API for it, though.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] professorwol:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denimjunkie82:
Hey guys,

N1 owner here who wants to inquire about live wallpapers and homescreen lag. It seems like all 2010 phones, even up to the Nexus S, had at least some lag on the homescreen whenever live wallpapers were used. This was more apparent with wallpapers of higher complexity or more movement on the screen. However, even the most basic live wallpaper would still yield obvious FPS slowdown when flicking side to side, and especially going in and out of the app drawer and scrolling through the app drawer. This occurs in stock Launcher, stock ROM, CM ROM, ADW Launcher, and CM Launcher. Basically it happens no matter what. An overclock with a quality ROM might minimize the lag, but it's still there.

So my question is...do you notice the same thing on the Atrix with all its delicious hardware? Do you feel there is any sacrifice of smoothness/FPS at all when using live wallpapers?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
If you think about it... Lwp is pretty amazing.. To have an interactive animation playing while your ui is present. I'm surprised its smooth at all.

I think gingerbread will really help but as it is 2.2 atrix is about as smooth as a n1 with 2.3

Without the lwp its crazy smooth!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denimjunkie82:
Ah good point. I didn't realize Atrix is on 2.2. I'll check back in once I see people using stable 2.3 ROMs. I think lwp are awesome to use, really makes Android stand out can look amazing. It's to bad that there is a FPS sacrific that comes with it...for now...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
Yeah when gingerbread comes out for these phones they really will be something else.
