[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seancraig:
I did it through Rom manager, I have never done it or to be honest dont know how to do i with a flashable .zip. And I really would not mind learning how. Honestly the hour long app restoration is what really drives me nuts. Like i said i have the titanium free version I do have my backup pro but never used it. any help would be appreciated
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Okay, here’s how to flash a ROM via ClockworkMod Recovery. You’ll need to download the zip from here. Save this to your computer, as it is a large file. Then transfer this to the root of the SD Card. If you create or put it into an existing folder that is on your SD Card, remember that folder’s name.

To boot into recovery, hold down the Power button until the menu pops up, select Reboot, select Recovery. It should now begin to boot you into CWM Recovery.

NOTE FOR RECOVERY

: The track pad is used to scroll up and down, and so is the Volume Up/Down. To select an item, physically push down on the track pad. To go backwards, one of the two following may need to be done: If while scrolling up/down you see down by the wording BACK MENU BUTTON ENABLED under where it says ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.8, that means to back out of a folder/screen you have to scroll down to Go Back and press down on the track pad. If you don’t get the message about the Back Menu Button Enabled, then the Power Button is used. If you try using the Power Button when Back Menu Button Enabled shows up, it is like press down on the track pad (like hitting Enter), and you may accidentally do something. Just a warning!

NOTE TWO

: The main recovery screen has at the top the menu to Reboot System Now.

1.	Scroll down to Wipe data/factory reset, press track pad, scroll to Yes, press track pad. Some users repeat this step two or three times, just to make sure everything gets wiped.

2.	Scroll down to Advanced, press track pad, scroll to Wipe Dalvik Cache, press track pad, scroll to Yes, press track pad.

3.	Now you’re ready to flash the zip downloaded earlier. Go back to the main recovery screen (see notes above). Scroll down to the location of the zip file, named SkyRaider_40_Release.zip unless it was changed when you saved it. Once you’ve highlighted it, press the track pad, scroll to Yes, press the track pad. This will begin the installation.

When it’s complete, it’ll let you know, so all you should have to do is scroll up to Reboot System Now, press the track pad to reboot the phone. It may take five to ten minutes at first boot, just FYI.

That’s flashing a zip, and this same thing applies to themes, modifications (like transparent app drawers, things like that), and custom kernels. Now flashing a ROM it is always recommended that you Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Dalvik. For themes, you don’t need to do those steps, just select install zip file and scroll to the theme’s zip file. For kernels, Wipe Cache Partition and Wipe Dalvik are highly recommended. The Developers for the item you’re downloading are good with explaining what to do.

Hope this quick write up helps! Questions, ask! Good luck!

I use Titanium Backup (paid version) to restore apps (only the app, not app and data as that can cause issue). It is a pain, but I've done it so much that I am just used to it. You'll need to reconfigure most things: accounts, usernames/passwords, widgets just to name a few. My screens aren't set up real crazy, so it's not too bad.

I've never used My Backup Pro, so maybe someone else can comment on that, or you can post a question on how it works in the Q&A section...someone should be able to provide some basic info for you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
When switching roms I also like to do a few additional wipes in addition to what you mentioned, just for good measure. Wipe cache in main menu and also format system, boot, data, and cache.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Again, no problem! Good luck, and it looks like it's a lot of info, but once you get going you'll realize it's not bad at all!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seancraig:
wow lot of time

I must have not been patient enough. I just could not get 4.0 to boot. It looped, stuck at HTC incredible screen, i couldnt sleep i got all worried. Finally I ended up with CM7.0.2.1. Any opinion one way or another in terms of what I may be missing out on and or gaining with the cyanomod rom?:cool:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Just depends on your preferences as far as sense vs aosp. CM7 is pretty much unrivaled as far as customization and seems to perform better as its more "lean" than sense roms. Also consider gingerbread vs froyo..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seancraig:
gingerbread vs. froyo

I rooted after I the Froyo 2.2 OTA I guess that is what i still have. Should I have moved past that by this time. I bought this incredible the day it was unveiled 4/19/2010. PC richards took a picture of me it was goofy. I did not know what I was in for. And I guess I still dont. should I be looking at my next device yet or is the OG incredible still the goods for a bit. I appreciate u sharing your knowledge, and understand if you have Droids to save out there.

Thank you

Sean
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
As far as phones go, I think the original incredible still is holding its own quite well against the newer phones. If you're in an area that gets 4g and would have use for the increased speeds, I could see that as a reason for possibly upgrading. For me personally 3g is just fine, I can't really think of any way that its holding me back. Aside from 4g, the newer phones coming out on Verizon like the incredible 2 and Droid charge don't really offer a whole lot that the original Inc doesn't but I guess it just depends on what you want to do with your phone. I don't have much use for a front facing camera for example.

The newer phones do have bigger screens, like 4" or 4.3" compared to the original incredible's 3.7, but that also brings increased overall size and weight, as well as battery usage. Aside from that, the Inc 2 does have a bit more ram, but in real world usage I doubt there's an appreciable difference.

All in all, I would wait until dual core processors and 1gb RAM is kind of a standard thing. By the time I'm eligible for an upgrade I'm guessing/hoping this will be the case (upgrade mid-late 2012).

MyBackup Root is what I use; it's been good, it has 1 click app+data restore if wanted (I use it every time and nothing bad happened yet, 20-30 flashes later)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seancraig:
thanks again, new problem with CM7

Thanks again.

I did it again i have another post i did something wrong on the adwex settings and i get force close everytime now cant even get into the settings to chaange anything i backed up and restored to skyraider so i could use the phone. i did post a thread. I have no clue what to do at this point i liked the CM7 but downloaded ADWex and some themes and again just FC so i cant do anything I wish I knew more about this. I am going to end up killing this phone.

Thanks hope all is well.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nitroz:
Hello,

I was previously using LG True version 0.6 ROM but wanted to go back to stock.

So I used it via the NVFlash way, half way through it putting it back to Stock, I accidentally unplugged my device thinking it was finished, now my phone won't boot up. Whenever I try to re-flash it with NVFlash the CMD auto shuts off with a message I can't read since it's that quick at shutting off when trying.

I have tried restoring via Smart Flash but that doesn't work (Tried holding vol down & plugging in but doesn't populate anything).

My phone won't boot.

I've tried re-installing the NVidia drivers, same issues.

The NVFlash gets the different stages before failing (Usually it gets to the point where my phone goes into S/W Upgrade mode, then fails)

I cannot get into S/W Upgrade mode to restore via Smart Flash as nothing happens.

Device manager picks up the phone as an NVidia USB Recovery device.

I appreciate any help as I'm lost without my phone.

Step-by-step guides are preferable since I'm new to flashing etc.
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
The phone is in download mode.

You need to find a way to send the rom to the phone, so the phones downloads the rom again and starts working.

Try pm'ing Paul over Twitter.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nitroz:
This is fixed now.

Unsure why, but trying a different USB port enabled me to use NV Flash and now booted up fine.

Thanks anyway guys and sorry for wasting your time.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zam88:
Hi,

This is my first time joining this forum, and I've just got my HTC Desire Z recently.

I'd like to root my desire z permanently so as to install cm7.02.

I am following the guide found at:

"wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting"

and when I get to step 7, where I should type in:

adb reboot bootloader

I then choose bootloader on my phone and then it checks the PC10IMG.zip which I placed on the SDCard.

After sometime,

it gives me an error about infocid and shows that the update failed.

I really have no idea at all on what I should do next.

Your help would really be appreciated.

Regards,
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwind:
In order to flash other rom (other than your original rom), you need to root and unlock CID, otherwise it will fail.

You also have to ensure that your current stock rom is not higher than 1.34..

You can take a look stickies in the threads or even in the WIKI explaining method of rooting, debranding and unlocking CID (even SIM Unlocking) ;)

Goodluck

Anyone have open office on their Gtab? I have document to go but would like Oo as it is very much like MS office.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nrage23:
There is no version of Open Office for android. I have used Docs to go but I prefer Quickoffice.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] clintre:
You may want to check out the Quick Office tablet version. It is better suited for the tablet than docs to go or the standard quick office. If you look under the Notion Ink apps ported there is an APK so you can check it out.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] manikin13:
Open office only has a viewer for android.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] scyld:
Though I am committing a vile act of necromancy, I must ask: why can't Open Office be ported to Android?

I thought that Open Office had high portability, and the source code is certainly available to anyone.

What makes Android so terribly different from basically any other OS out there? Is Honeycomb a different story, so might a Honeycomb (or Ice Cream, when it comes out) port feasible?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TomorrowSpace:
Because it has to be broken back down, rewritten, recompressed etc to fit within the confines of android. OpenOffice in its current incarnation is huge.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] scyld:
Hmm, I see... well not really, to be honest. Sorry :(

When I had downloaded and installed a version of Open Office for Windows 7, I believe the suite took up around 500 and some megabytes of harddisk space, at least with only its equivalent of Powerpoint, Excel, and Word installed, along with supporting packages. I realize that this isn't going to be the same size for every operating system, but it still should be equivalent... no?

On my G Tablet, I have some apps (games) which take up something like around a gigabyte.

Or are you referring to system components alone?

So, I suppose I still don't quite understand... please have mercy on this noob :(
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Dishe:
You have apps/games that use a GB?! THAT's HUGE!

Most Android apps are under 10MB, with a few exceptions (like heavily detailed games) that go up higher. I remember Yahoo Messenger video was something like 60MB, and folks complained left and right that it was eating their internal memory up (especially without app2sd support yet). Can you imagine downloading a 500mb file from the market? Because I can't.

A little perspective- 500MB is nothing to scoff at.

I've never had any issues applying system fonts through Liberty Toolbox, but I've also only used the toolbox while running a Liberty ROM. I had to delete Fission Rom Manager when I switched from Fission to Liberty due to it always force closing.

I have been suffering from some massive battery drain the last few days and after some investigation I found out that the app "Bump" now uses GPS, and does so constantly. It was using up almost as much battery as the screen.

Anyhow just thought I would post a heads up for anyone else who might have it installed.
[Thunderbolt General] bumptech:
Hi, this is Dave from Bump. We had a bug in version 2.0.0 of Bump that would cause location services to be accessed at the wrong time on certain phones. This has been corrected in the latest version of Bump (2.0.2).

If you are still seeing problems, please let us know!

-dave
[Thunderbolt General] Resuna:
Still a problem

I just uninstalled Bump because I couldn't figure out what was keeping my GPS on, and noticed Bump was using 33% of my battery.

I only keep it installed in case I ever run into anyone else who uses Bump. hasn't happened in three years, guess it's not a big problem _for me_.

Might be for Bump.

Does anyone think/know if it will ever be possible to play PSP games on this device? It is much more powerful than the PSP, and has the same buttons, so i was thinking if it would be possible. I know it would require some emulation, and that's not easy :(

But what do you think? One day maybe..?
[Xperia Play General] Krislawl:
I can see games like patapon, loco roco being ported over easily. psp emulation on the phone prob will never happen but sony could recode games from the psp to the xperia play.
[Xperia Play General] McGinty13:
I do think this is a possibility, and I can see that games in this format would suit the platform very well, although it would be nice for some more "hardcore" games to be ported :p

I think Leisure Suit Larry will be as close to 'hardcore' as you'll get!

[Xperia Play General] NeoTechni:
I doubt it. PSP is pretty powerful, dual 333 MHz processors. MIPS architecture (Play uses ARM IIRC)
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
if sony bother to recode some PSP games to run natively on the play, there is a possibility

only time will tell
[Xperia Play General] Krislawl:
i'm pretty sure it's a single core
[Xperia Play General] dockie91:
it is. but it has the media engine too (which seems to be, in essence, another cpu)

it'll be more likely to see a "wine" kinda thing, from the psp os to android, than emulation.
[Xperia Play General] NeoTechni:
It isnt. We've known it has 2, 333 MHz processors since before it was launched

And as someone who has developed for PSP, I know this personally.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3VICE:
I just flashed OpenFire, and I was wondering why it can't find any Adhoc networks/networks I make with Connectify.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
wifi on wildfire is limited. it is basically meant for internet (receiving) and sharing its internet to others via WIFI HOTSPOT.

Regarding AdHoc and file sharing using wifi, they are not basically supported by wildfire. But for rooted phones, there is a fix for AdHoc and file sharing. U need to edit some system file. I have gone through some thread which i dont remember now. I will let u know if i see that again.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3VICE:
AdHoc works perfectly fine on CM7 and ImPROS.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
I havent used those CM7 and ImPROS custom roms as im not rooted.

AdHoc feature is definately not present in official stock rom.

And i previously heard that it is not even present in rooted roms. And also heard that we need to do a fix to make it work. Ok im not actually aware of what u said above.

Maybe someone who used CM7 and ImPROS custom roms will have to answer whether or not AdHoc works in those by default. SOMEONE let us know......

edit: and in the thread, u said that u flashed openfire rom, and asking why it doesnt work. As i expect all the 3 roms u mentioned are different.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:

Thats the only official path others are might be or might not be the real deal .

Kies will release firmware that has been branded /adapted by the network supplier . Basic unbranded phone get the vanilla update .

If the update is xxbb version then it will be the same as xxbb verion from other sources .

JVB lets call it still beta has slightly better performance than the almost no lag 2.2.1 that is i dont require a lagfix for either .

GPS is i reckon about 10% better compared to 2.2.1 > 11 sats found compared to 7 on 2.2.1 is the cold boot average for me .

Battery life looks to be better as well .

you need a supported kernel like the one in cyanogen 7 to use the DSP Manager app. DSP comes in cyan 7 ROM anyway...

OP did you try enabling the SRS function in audio? i heard it increases the volume.

also if any 2.3 ROMs are out there, a new API lets us now tap in to the volume so this would probably work on any 2.3 ROM:
