[LG Optimus 2x] CantGetRight82:
Hi all,

Thanks for all the information I got here, it helped me out a lot!

I installed some official LG software and it said it could update. I figured nothing could go wrong... ;-)

It then got stuck in a "boot loop" (keeps starting up over and over again).

I tried several things:

- update using original tool.

- nvflash (got the correct driver but it keeps saying: "USB device not found")

- android system recovery (could not select any option)

If nothing works, i finally got it fixed by:

- following instructions on http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1008070.html

- not using the provided ROMs over there, but an original ROM which can be found at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1035041

Hope this helps someone, it really saved my day ;)

Thanx again!

Does anyone know if the nook library app can run on other android devices? If so, how can this be done?

Thanks.
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
If you did a quick search you would have seen several post saying no, and that it only runs on stock.

Unless you're talking about the Nook Android app, which can and will run on any rom.

If you look in themes and apps, I believe there is a post on the first page where a few people are trying to get it to run on other roms.

Is there a way to replace the signal bars in the status bar with signal value in dbm?

Or is there an app that will display it in the notification area?

I found a few Widgets in the market but none of them work on gingerbread.

[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
this existed in cyanogen 6.1, the signal bar is replaced with the -dBm reading. but it has not yet been ported to cyanogen 7.0 as of now. hopefully its coming soon, but nobody knows yet. this needs root, and no app will be able to change the framework as far as i know. it needs to be in a custom ROM.

So this may be a legally touchy subject, but I'm sure it's possible to unlock the personal hotspot feature on the captivate without shelling out $20 a month to "the providers". A jailbroken iPhone can do it so I'm pretty sure my android is capable of the same thing.

Let me know of it's out there and I just haven't researched deep enough.

Try searching next time. PLENTY of threads on this. Install titanium backup and figure it out from there. As it being not legal I'm not saying exactly how its done, but I will say its easy.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soccer_Dad:
The last post hinted at the solution when you are on stock Froyo. If you flash to a custom rom, they all have the mobile hotspot feature, functional and free. I am volunteering in a place with no internet access, and I have used the phone for a couple months to give us spot access to download files and check email and do light surfing. I upped my plan to 2 GB while I was doing that, just to be safe, and have had no issues either with the phone or with AT&T.

Still gonna need some help with this. I wasn't looking to flash a custom rom. Just wanted access and i'm not finding any posts pertaining to such. I don't know why I'm so nervous about custom roms (maybe because there are do many I can't tell the difference between them). Can anyone point me towards the right post?

Sorry to bug you guys again. Is all wifi tether this slow or is it the process I used (titanium backup freeze)? I have my daughters iPod air hooked to my 3g, and updating the apps is taking forever. I'm opening up to the idea of roms if I can enhance the performance. I want some bragging rights!

My ears (or eyes) are open to your best suggestions for custom roms. Or another update to what I am apparently clueless about... wifi tethering.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxRabbit:
I don't understand what you're talking about. However, I do know that the official Android MobileAP app is found in all custom ROMs on this forum and it's BLAZING fast if you get 3g/H signal where you live.

You should really try a custom ROM. A really refined one is Cezar's v4 Continuum. You'll have to do some reading, but it's not so bad. Use MyBackup Root to save/restore your apps, it's free and works just as well as Titanium Backup.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crystalhand:
Hdspa is only noticeable faster for uploads in my experience. With tethering my speed is never great its usable but not at a level I would want to do much work through.you might see some improvement with a custom rom but nothing mind blowing

Not quite sure what your saying here. So you know, you can name the backups whatever you want, like "3/26gb.firerat.4_20" and you can restore backups between cwm2 and 3.

[Hero CDMA General] herouser26:
Every time i rename them the backups always fail. I had to stop naming them. It would just say md5 sum failed or something like that. I got screwed over twice that way so if you do rename just be cautious.
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
FYI the key is not putting spaces in there. I have renamed EVERY backup I have ever made (using ANY recovery) so I could tell them apart. I never use anything but numbers, letters, periods, and underscores. I currently have 6 on my sd in /clockworkmod/backup/ named:

I'm on 2.2.1 and tried rooting with visionary and now my phones all messed up ! I hard reset several times and sometimes ill get stuck on a bootloop or it'll go to start up screen and freeze.

I tired flashing stock rom using the PD15IMG.zip method in stock recovery but it wouldn't takesaying no image or wrong image.

Is there any way I can reflash a stock rom ? I've done it on the Vibrant using Odin and the Nexus1 with the passing.zip method but I'm having trouble on the mt4g.

Any help would appreciated ! Thanks in advance .

You don't flash it in the recovery. You flash it in the Hboot.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dusty-:
Lol I think I phrases that wrong. I did flash the stock zip in hboot,it reads the file and the blue status bar on the side goes up then it checks the image and just goes back to hboot. I double checked to make sure it wasn't named .zip.zip and turned off fastboot in application settings like the rom thread said to do and no go.

After hard resets ill get Android.process.acore not responding and process.com.htcandroid.htcsetupwizard has stopped so some stock files were messed up when I tried to root. Everything was running fine until I tried rooting.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dusty-:
I'm wondering are there any important files that come on the stock sd card ? I formatted,erased my sd card before hard resetting and wonder if that's why I'm getting so many stock android processes stopping or freezing ?

If there are necessary files that come on the sd card where can I find them or should I just go a tmo store and borrow and copy a card lol ?

I don't think this pertains to the rom very much, so I think it's better to make a separate thread (had same issue using the app on cm7).

I'd like to be able to display the embedded, so is there any way to keep it from getting internet access or disabling the artwork folder on the sd card? Any help is appreciated.

See if you have the power control widget in your installed widgets list. If you do, set it up to display the panel rotation button on your home screen. You can then use that button to lock the tablet in whichever orientation that you choose. If its not installed you can grab it from the market.

[Galaxy 3 General] 19.nvv.11:
Here's what i did

i wanted the stock gallery 3d app so badly so i took it from stock jpm (both the odex and apk)

then i placed them both in the system/app/ folder

strange ..didn't work.. (didn't show in app drawer at all..) :(

so i installed gallery 3d from market and then replaced that apk with the stock gallery apk

even strange.. when i opened the gallery app, i got the old gallery app not the stock app :eek:

for those who are wondering.. stock gallery app is flawless and has blue highlighting while the one in the market has yellow highlighting and appears patched while scrolling and is damn slow.. :(

question is.. how do i install stock apps in custom roms??
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
I had the same problem but then with touchwiz and on a stock rom:

I wanted to enable landscape mode in touchwiz and for some kinda reason I deleted the touchwiz30launcher.apk and the odex file... I tried to place it again but with no succes... For another reason my phone was captured into a bootloop so I flashed the firmware again and everything works fine. I would also like to know how you get that stock apps working if they weren't on your phone after flashing...
[Galaxy 3 General] 19.nvv.11:
ok atleast tell me how to deodex apps..

is it enough to move the /data/dalvik-cache/classes.dex into the corresponding apk??
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] CodeNameUnknown1:
is there any limits i should know about when making a bootanimation?

i made one with 180 PNG images, making a total of 8.7MB ... then first time i put it in my phone, only part0 worked (and it was VERY laggy), but part1 didnt.

i modified the things alittle bit and it wouldnt work when i put all of part1 in part0.

so i deleted alot of images and had a part0 and part1 folder.

it was approx 1.6MB --- it worked, but only till part0, part1 didnt.

so i put it all in one folder, part0, and it wouldnt work (yes i modify the desc.txt everytime)

is there a limit in images or size or number of folders?

NOTE: i tested my bootanimations with BootAnimationPreview1.5 on windows and it worked perfectly ... does that mean android cant handle it? or am i doing smething wrong?

hope to get some replies!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] CodeNameUnknown1:
dont know how to delete this thread so i'll post the solution

I made my own site of official animated National Weather Service doppler radar images because I couldn't find any.

http://wap.pdxvr.com/rad

For the last year or more I've been unable to find 'official' animated National Weather Service doppler radar that runs on our low memory devices (gifs don't work and if you've upgraded past SenseUI, flash lite doesn't work either). Substitues applications are OK, but I prefer the real deal.

I just uploaded this a few minutes ago and there may be some bugs (both functional as well as interface, please let me know).

The long list of doppler sites can be avoided by bookmarking your frequently visited sites.

I also have a mobile site for new tv show air times from TVRage.com (also because there was no app at the time I created the page)

http://wap.pdxvr.com/t.php

Credits:

I should have given some credit where it is due here.

I used this for the javascript animation http://goo.gl/4baVi

I used this http://goo.gl/ejMju for deconstructing the gif (although I'm going to rewrite it from scratch I think)

[Hero CDMA General] aiwetir:

I found that the NWS was using this http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billb/jsani/ for some of the satellite images but not for the large doppler gif images.

Then I found this php class that splits the gif into separate images

http://www.phpclasses.org/package/3234-PHP-Split-GIF-animations-into-multiple-images.html

Put them together and voila!

I'll be adding all the other radar eventually, visible, infrared, water vapor, fog, etc.

Only thing I don't like is that jsani doesn't really scale with the screen (I had to fix it at 320px wide) but it zooms in ok it seems.

Im trying to get the new Official Tmobile USA rom on my phone. I just flashed my phone over from a China 2.2 rom running one of jboogies recoverys. I wiped, then flashed the leaked tmobile rom. When I try to log into my motoblur account, the phone just locks up, and then shows a black screen. This lockup is once im within android, not during the boot sequence. The sbf was successfully flashed, but just black screens after a while. Also, the keyboard wasnt appearing when I tried typing in my details.

Any help is appreciated.
[Defy General] Sutitan:
Ive managed to get passed the login screen by essentially racing to typing in my account and password before it crashed. I eventually got it. I can now the android os but it crashes almost instantly. About 10 or so seconds of actually navigation. I tried to get into the "about the phone" menu in the setting, but it kicks me out of it really fast. I saw something that said 2.1_update1. on my latest boot, ive activated USB debugging, which seems to be working. The phone isnt shutting down anymore. I however have no service (I didnt have any before USB debugging either though).

My phone seems stable being on with usb debugging on, but I still cant get into the "about phone" menu. It just kicks me back out. Still open to suggestions

[Defy General] Sutitan:
I think i know my problem. I guess I need to do a full wipe in between flashing. Only problem is is that im not rooted anymore and i cant get any SBF to really work anymore. all im getting are black screens. What sbf can I use that I can root so I can wipe.

As far as wiping is concerned. I did wipe the first time, but then I rebooted the phone. I feel like that was my mistake.

Anyways, how can i get my phone working again?
[Defy General] Sutitan:
After an unbelievable amount of frustration, ive managed to get it

Firstly, I went back to the u3_6.36.3.0 sbf. Like all the other roms I tested, I continued to have a black screen with a menu bar. I shut the device down, and booted into the stock recovery (Volume down + Power). I then touched the bottom right corner to get into the menu. I did a full factory reset. After I rebooted, the device was working 100% as intended. I check for the system update, and sure enough, its downloading now.

I really hope this can help someone, but I feel due to my lack of proper notation and poor documentation, it wont. Anyways, My only advice can really be to those trying to get the official tmobile 2.2. If when you flash the u3_6.36.3.0 sbf and you get a ton of errors, just try a factory reset via the stock bootloader.
[Defy General] farsight73:
What do you mean by touching the bottom right corner of the phone? On the screen or button need to be pressed? And surely it will enter into another menu sort of service menu where one can do a list of actions??

Great getaway by the way...
[Defy General] Sutitan:
bottom right corner of the screen (lcd). Its the stock recovery. When you boot into the stock recovery, it will have a exclamation point in a triangle as well as an android standing by it. Once you actually enter the menu, it will look alot like the custom recovery. Also, be patient if you do the factory reset. it takes a little bit. It doesnt really show any indication that its working other then some periods occurring two or three times throughout the process.
