[EVO 4G General] EyeNoU:
Update

Well, now I really get a chance to show my ignorance. When I got to the point that I was getting error message, I panicked as I needed the phone at work the next day. I went with the "reboot now" option in recovery mode not knowing what else to do. The phone rebooted with FroYo installed and still rooted. All the downloaded apps were gone.

One of the main worries I had was I didn't know if I could get out of recovery mode after the wipe without having flashed a new ROM. It appears I was able to.

Also, is there any way to load files to the SD card if I get hung up like again?

I guess the advice I most needed is to download the older version of CWM into ROM Manager, and make a backup immediately, and also once I get all apps reloaded and have the phone tweaked to my liking?
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
The first thing you should do is boot into recovery and make a nand backup. If you are just learning probably use rom manager and get the paid version. Once you have a backup you should not have any worries. You should be able to access your SD card from recovery.

Could somebody thats gotten this working with the Mesmerize help me. I've switched out the apns xml file, added the cdma xml, and edited the build.prop. I have yet to get data working, though, I've flashed everything, back and forth, several times each. Anybody that could help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dfgas:
We are currently working on this right now. It should be posted sometime soon.
[Samsung Mesmerize] KillKount:
Thanks, can't wait. You are the man when it comes to the "other" i500 phones.
[Samsung Mesmerize] kallell:
Have you gotten issues worked out that JT still has? IE: are you basically trying to convert JTs build only for mesmeriize, or are you going above and beyond and fixing issues like camera, bt, etc?
[Samsung Mesmerize] KillKount:
I just still haven't gotten data working with anything I've tried, I am by no means a real dev like dfgas and jt. So, I am just trying to get it ported for awesomeness.
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:

[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Those issues exist on all AOSP builds. Just something you have to deal with until they can figure out fixes for them.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ssgtrod:
I wonder if the mms patch from the comrom would work? Or is that just ridiculous!?!
[Samsung Mesmerize] davidbruington:
No, comm rom is Touchwiz based, that only replaces the mms app. I think it would only further break mms in an AOSP rom. The problem is deeper in AOSP roms. That sure would be nice, though!
[Samsung Mesmerize] KillKount:
If your thinking that it would fix mms, it wouldn't, all aosp roms have this problem for us.

Darn, got ninja'd.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
The issues with MMS/Camera on AOSP rom's are very difficult, there is no easy fix or it would have been done already :). From what we have gathered, the problem with MMS lies in WAP (among other things) - we can get it to locate the correct server (and i believe it even connects) but then we get errors referencing WAP not being enabled, therefore not getting the push from the server. One suggestion was that maybe something in the kernel needed to be tweaked, but we haven't gotten any further with testing that theory. Keep in mind most of us putting up ROM's and such in here are not "real" developers, meaning we haven't built anything from source (as far as for the android OS) and therefore we don't really have the capability of fixing such issues. Most of us have been self teaching and learning from others how to "kang" (port) ROM's that have been developed for other phones, that's why you're seeing these drops, so please keep that in mind :).

Some developers, such as jamezelle, jt1134, and adrynaline, have been looking at the issues since the beginning, and if they haven't had any luck with current resources - then chances are until we locate certain source or come up with a work-around that they haven't thought of - things will remain as is.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dfgas:
here is an update on the rom, its not looking good, when L3ttuc3 makes the necessary edits to the framework we get a fc when we receive a sms and try to send one.

If there is anyone on EC01 radio then it will work perfect, however EC01 radio only works on mesmerize.
[Samsung Mesmerize] KillKount:
Would it be possible to upload the fix files for anyone on a Mes with ec01?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
We haven't done his most recent release but here is his official 4/21 drop with the appropriate fixes for mesmerize; remember this requires EC01 radio already installed and follow jt's instruction's

Download CM7 Mesmerize for ED01
[Samsung Mesmerize] KillKount:
Thank you guys so much, I am going to take a look at it and see if I cant get data working for me on the 4/26 build, after that it will be on par with jt's.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
If you pull up the build.prop in the link i posted and compare to his and make the same changes - your data should work. We haven't had to tweak anything to get data working so i'm thinking an incorrect change in build.prop could be the case - or you could just be unlucky :(
[Samsung Mesmerize] KillKount:
That's going to be step 2, right now I'm making sure data works for me on yours.

Btw, account setup gets really annoying after about 100 login attempts.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
I always just skip the setup, all you need to do is log in to google :p but yea that's annnoying.
[Samsung Mesmerize] jt1134:
Once I have electricity again (some time next week :( ), I'll fix the framework so you can add a variable to build.prop that will fix SMS instead of having to make jar edits every time.
[Samsung Mesmerize] KillKount:
Ok, I flash the fixed zip, wiped everything, reboot, and... still no data. So, I odin'd back to stock, thinking I may have screwed something up, reflash... and still no data, so yeah.

The only other thing I can think of is a different radio, but I've had data on all the other ec01 mes fixed roms I've tried.:confused:
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
<3 jt - would be very much appreciated :).

Lmartin popped in IRC last night (he's been way busy) and started syncing jt's CM7 repo, so he may have it mesmerized (properly) soon.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
Whoa. You just let me know when you do that JT, and I'll send those thank-you hookers from L3ttuc3's place to yours. I want it for MIUI, but still. XD
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HEROEVO:
I know that local.prop is loaded after build.prop when the system is booting, however, my question stems from this

If I would put some lines from build.prop in local.prop and change them, would the changed settings take effect or would the build.prop settings overwrite the local.prop settings anyway?

For example:

build.prop

ro.sf.lcd_density = 160

local.prop

ro.sf.lcd_density = 120

When the system boots, would the density be 160 or 120?

Thanks, whoever helps on this
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waffle_:
Density would be 160.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HEROEVO:
Thanks man
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waffle_:
No problem.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Lines in the build prop that start with RO mean read only and cannot be overwritten by the local prop. You would have to edit the line in the build prop. Anything in the build prop that does not start with RO would be overwritten by local prop. For instance my local prop has the auto backlight line edited to disallow it by changing the = 1 to = 0. I also have the default brightness line to be max bright by changing that line from = 143 to = 255.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HEROEVO:
You da man Duce!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmanbt:
How do you save build.prop ? I get access denied
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch1naski:
You have to enable read/write mode. Little button on top of the screen on root explorer when browsing files and folders. It will say r/o before you press it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Treken:
I am compiling my custom rom from scratch and was wondering how I can include/exclude certain apps in my rom in my repo/source tree that I have set up over at github? For example, what if I want to use launcher2(free version) rather than ADW? If no answers , then can someone point me in the right direction? I have an incredible and have posted numerous times over there but the incredible community isn't so incredible when it comes to helping out with dev questions. I think 99.9 percent of the people over there just flash roms and really don't have any dev experience which makes it hard to get answering fro a developer. =-(

I would like enter my company web portal trough Android devices like Nexus One or Nook Color... this portal is designed on IE but I believe it could run also on other browser... well I tried to set user agent to IE6 in the stock Android browser (running CM7) but the web portal still says me that a Windows plattform is required...

is there a way to fake the site and make it believe it's a Windows platform?

Hey all... I think this forum needs a thorough explanation of what the term "Flashing" is...

For those who have no idea what this means... have no idea why anyone would want to do it. Differences between a phone that is flashed and one that isn't... What is NoDo... Radio?,

What exactly does this mean?

[NoDo ROM]HD7_TMOUS_2.20.841.02_Radio_5.65.09.11a_22.44.50.1 5_NoDo, by ansar

[HD7 General] pedramcvx:
yes...i have those questions too...tell us...
[HD7 General] Marcb:
those are ROMS you can flash on your device...

NoDo is a software update that Microsoft released for WP7...

if you pay close attention, you'll see that there are specific ROMs for each Operator (T-Mobile, O2....) so you should flash only the one's that matches your phone.

You can also flash an unbranded ROM but in order to do that, you need to bypass the ROM's CID verification... visit Goldcard's thread and learn more about that procedure...

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domesticman2000:
On a related note I just updated to CWM3. Is there a way I can use Rom Manager again?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lane32x:
1) you have to have the samsung Fascinate drivers installed for your operating system FIRST

2) Power down the phone. Pull the battery if it makes it easier.

2a) Press AND HOLD the volume down key WHILE YOU PLUG IN THE USB CABLE.

The power button shouldn't be involved

unless, like the pointed out, you aren't on Verizon, and you are using the Telus Fascinate.

Note:

You do NOT have to pull the battery to get to Download mode. It's just convenient since the phone reboots when it is done.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lane32x:
Sorry for multi-post. Didn't see the updated question.

So you got to download mode? Use ODIN to flash CWM 3

Reboot the phone

Are you already on ED01?

*EDIT* For anyone else reading this, you just need to have CWM 3.x convert your filesystem to Voodoo/Lagfix (which it will do by default the first time you reboot your computer after installing CWM), then you need to install a Voodoo compatible kernel, and a voodoo compatible Rom (which would be Community Rom 1.0). I didn't realize at the time that I posted before the CommunityRom1.1 was only a patch for 1.0.

If so, go download Community Rom 1.1, place that on your SDcard, reboot into CWM recovery, tell it to Install Zip from SD, Choose Zip file, and use the Back/Return Arrow as an "enter" key to select the file you want to install.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superdusto:
By CWM 3 do you mean Red Voodoo CWM 3.x? The problem I am having is once I go to Samsung recovery and I click on apply sdcard : update.zip it gives me an error

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

installation aborted.

So I cant get into CWM
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] times_infinity:
Red cwm is a permanent recovery. Also, this should have been said earlier when you flash recovery with odin, the first boot of the phone needs to be into recovery with vol up + vol down + power right after the phone turns off/reboots from odin. After in recovery you need to flash a custom kernel. If you dont when you boot into android, recovery will be overwritten with stock due to the stock kernel having a check in it for recovery. Which is why you keep getting the sig check fail.

So, odin the recovery, after the phone goes to reboot go straight into recovery using 3 button method, flash custom kernel, enjoy red voodoo cwm.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superdusto:
Wow well I got it to work thanks to you! I think I will stay with my Thunderbolt though ;) Once again thank you for all your help
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
It's all good.

Technically speaking, voodoo isn't something you boot into, but rather it's the development community's attempt to speed up the crappy fascinate file system and eliminate inherent lag by transforming it from rfs to ext4 ( the native linux system, fyi). What you DO boot into is the CWM version that supports this file system conversion. It should say something like cwm 2.5.x.x or 3.0.x.x voodoo lagfix or similar, and has red text. Do this by holding vol up and down, and also power, until the samsung logo appears, at which point you only release power until CWM appears.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] razgriz417:
Its happened a total of 8 times for me (My 3rd day with the phone). First time I was late to work because the alarm didn't go off.

Always when I charge via a wall charger. Have tried the LG charger with LG usb cable, oem usb cable, blackberry charger. They all freeze my phone. I've noticed that every time it happens, my phone gets real hot, often times when i get a text in while its plugged in it freezes. The only way I can charge the phone without it freezing was through a usb port on my computer. Don't know if its an issue with the charger or the phone, but this is annoying

O and I've looked at the LG O2X forums too, it seems like they are having the same issues too, freezes and bleeds
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joshreis:
It's happening to my "replacement" g2x. I have to pull out the battery to get it working again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jink25:
Could be a combined hardware/software problem with battery charging, which also explains the poor battery life many experience.

When charging via wall adapter I wouldnt doubt if it is going into thermal shutdown and the battery is getting too hot, pushing too many amps too quickly....usb connected to your computer fixes that issue since it cannot push that much current.

Sounding more and more like LG did something bad here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
I have never had this happen.

I use the included charger, a nook charger, and the charger for the HD7.

All have worked perfectly fine. I would definitely keep an eye on your heat.

I've had at least six reboots and a few of the black screen shutdowns where the battery has to be pulled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] razgriz417:
Yea I think it really is heat related. Using battery monitor widget, I found that the last few times my phone froze up while charging, the temp was hovering above 35 celsius, seen it hit 39.8

Those temps aren't bad. I have seen up to 45c while charging and using wifi tether and I haven't got a force reset.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikeygnyc:
I had this exact issue; plugged in, got a text and it froze, requiring a battery pull. I also noticed it got really hot. Interestingly, I had received a bunch of texts prior just fine while plugged in. The last text I received was repeated three or four times and then I got a notification about what appears to be the SMS app hanging (I forget the exact package name but I know it had SMS or MMS in it).

I have had my g2x for about 3 days and this problem has occurred on mine about 3 times so far.

The first time it happened i pressed power button several times, also tried holding it down. After about a min of messing with it. i actually got the screen to light up with the lock screen by holding down power button and up volume. but once i let go of buttons screen blanked out again. i was unable to reproduce it again. so i pulled the battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Thunderlordz:
Having the same issue here. I'm on my second G2x (exchanged the first one because of lcd bleeding). Had the phone for 2 days, and I've had 2 freezes with blank screen and one reboot while charging thus far.

Interestingly, both times I encountered the phone freeze with blank screen were when I've completely discharged the battery and the phone was off when I plugged in the charger. After I plugged in the charger, i turned on the phone, and about 20-30 minutes later, i'd get the blank screen phone freeze.

The other time my phone rebooted while charging was when I plugged in the charger with the phone at around 75% battery.
