You can only update to the latest firmware and that is 2.2 or 2.2.1 dependant upon what your phone provider has uploaded .

Gingerbread 2.3 is not yet released .

Hello, I have been trying to port CM6 to my Kyocera ZIO M6000 all day and every attempt I make ends up with a boot loop after flashing, I have to use the openzio port of clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.1 but it works, I have dsixda kitchen working also the 2.2.1 source for my device and need some pointers of how to go about the build. Can anyone with experience in porting CyanogenMod 6 give me some advice? Thanks.

[LG Optimus 2x] nathsgames:
Hi,

I am currently running Fear 13 ROM. It‘s ok but there's still a lot of lag and freezing.

Also it‘s missing all the LG widgets.

I am so tempted to go back to stock as I quite liked the stock LG setup.

So my quesion is what is the most stock like ROM with still some performance increases please?
[LG Optimus 2x] Novek:
Go with the MoDaCo custom ROM pre-bake Fr12 (12 is the most stable as of now). It's the most stocklike, but optimized ROM now :)
[LG Optimus 2x] nathsgames:
AWESOME! Thankyou!!:p
[LG Optimus 2x] tragster:
also agree with MoDaCo custom ROM pre-bake. cant wait for prebaked f14
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loveubuntu:
This is my first HTC phone so excuse my ignorance. I have a page size people widget on my phone I use as speed dial. It's an HTC widget filled with pictures of my favorite contacts and I can quickly call or text someone. But at times a blue number appears on one of the pictures/contacts. I don't know what it means or how I can access any information from it. Any idea?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danariel:
Facebook updates.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Busphan:
The blue number represents a missed call, txt, or an update from a social network.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loveubuntu:
Hmmmm, thanks for the responses but it doesn't make sense. My wife's picture has a number 7 by it. She had not texted me, has no missed calls, and does not have a facebook account. I do not sync with facebook anyways. How do I clear it or access it? Any idea?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Busphan:
I assume you have tried rebooting?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akanatrix:
It also includes calendar events. I had a contact with a birthday coming up, and it showed a "1" by their name. I do not have Facebook linked to my contacts.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loveubuntu:
So I figured it out. It appears that anything related to that person is connected to that number. In my wife's case, there were emails from her that I had erased but not opened. Somehow they still show up. As soon as I opened one, the number reduced by one. Silly if you asked me. You can access it by pressing the number and then on the lower edge of the opened menu you can change tabs to see what is new. Whole lotta blah.... Gimme aosp any day over this sense crap.
[Nexus S General] MohamadKarbi:
Greetings all. I’d like to ask a very strange question for someone that use android phones for a long time (now I’m using Nexus S). However, please bear with me for this introduction before I ask my question. Forgive me if it’s not repeated somewhere:

I’ve noticed in Nexus S that I can’t add contact/event locally. They should be @ google account or @ exchange account. And since I’m forwarding all my emails (POP3, hotmail, yahoo) to gmail for reading and replying, I could figure out that google knows the following about me:

- My emails (gmail and other email accounts)

- My Voice – Voice Search

- People I talk to (details, pictures, address, birthdays… ) – Contacts

- Events in my life – Calendar

- What I browse – Browser, Youtube, & Google Search

- My handwriting – Gesture Search

- Where I go – Maps

I also could understand that google prevented Facebook Sync because of they can’t access friends details!!

This really scared me. MY QUESTION IS:

Is there a way to save my contacts and events locally? I can remove gmail (use email app) instead. I can also remove Voice Search, Google Search, & Gesture Search. Alternative browsers are available too.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Use a flip phone if you are afraid of storing your information via cloud.

The point of a Nexus phone is to experience the Google experience.
[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
you forget the govt listens in on every call you make... damn, if you're gonna be so pendantic, buy a cheap payg phone and not a smart phone
[Nexus S General] pnnorth:
Should you really be posing such a question on an open forum?
[Nexus S General] suksit:
I guess the answer is quite simple: If you don't trust them then don't use their products ;)

It's not that I totally trust them, but things they collect are what most ppl already know about me. When I go somewhere, I use Facebook or Foursquare check-in. My calendar contains nothing but public holidays, public events, and meeting schedules. I never used gesture search or google voice so biometric data collecting is not a problem anyway :)
[Nexus S General] suprakarma:
And if your entire life is filed on your phone or at least part of it, just think of the fact that big brother watches anyway, technology is becoming part of the road to consumption people depends on these devices now a days ........
[Nexus S General] PeeeWeee:
See it in an positive way: You've got a backup of yourself for the case you've been erased accidentally!
[Nexus S General] OuncE718:
Lets be honest, why would Google care about the average Joe's personal information? I think the president or secret service should be asking "could I trust Google" instead of one of us. I DO NOT MEAN TO SOUND RUDE SO SORRY IF IT SEEM THAT WAY. JUST STATING MY OPINION.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
the better question is... can we trust apple? humancentipad? :D

but like I said in a previous post: if Google abusively used someone's information then everybody would panic and stop using their products. hell, look at Sony. I'm sure Microsoft's shares for Xbox significantly increased and people feel more comfortable on that platform.
[Nexus S General] :
Disable Syncing by tapping Menu -> Settings -> Accounts and Sync.

I believe this eliminates the account requirement; haven't tried it myself though as I'm not so paranoid without cause.
[Nexus S General] :
Use cyanogenmod without the google apps.

You can save contact information locally by the way, when you add a contact just choose "phone" instead of google account.
[Nexus S General] :
10 char.......

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Doughnut643:
Hello,

my mytouch 3g wont boot up or into "Amon Ra’s recovery". i was trying to get root on my phone so i can flash to a better rom, but just as i was following the directions and the video, my phone wouldnt boot up after step 3, which is flashing Sappimg.zip file and turnig the phone on. i thought it was normal and continued the process untill i flashed the radio and recovery. i tried to follow the next step which is to hold "home and power" untill recovery mode pops up, BUT RECOVERY MODE DOESN'T POP UP. IT JUST STAYS STUCK ON "htc magic" boot screen. no recovery, HELP PLEASE. DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG, OR PERMANENTLY BRICK MY PHONE? I WILL DO ANYTHING NECESSARY TO FIX IT. i just want at least want the phone to work :confused:

the site "h t t p : / / t h e u n l o c k r . c o m / 2 0 1 0 / 0 3 / 1 1 / h o w - t o - r o o t - t h e - m y t o u c h - 1 - 2 - a n d - f e n d e r - m y t o u c h /" just remove the spaces (and yes, my phone has a 3.5 mm headphone jack at the top)

PLEASE HELP!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Try to flash the recovery again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Doughnut643:
thanks for the concern mumilover, but at the time my sapphire didnt receive anything when i tried to push anything through fastboot. i realized that i needed to create a new gold card and flash the same spl build, and yes i did flash the wrong recovery image (stupid me)

after i flashed a engineering spl (1.33.2005. or 2010 it doesn't matter) and pushed all my files via adb like recovery and radio images, i decided to flash back to the perfected spl build (0013) then my phone booted into recovery and i flashed a decent rom

forgive me for my lateness, but ive been really busy.

and i hope this helps other people who have "soft bricked" their mytouch 1.2 like i did

and to all who read this! if there is a rom faster than ginger yoshi with widget locker support for the mytouch, please let me know :3

I used to have this problem depending in what the messaging user agent is set to, the stock android one was shrinking all pictures to something like 8kb each. This was a different device but it sounds like the same issue, though I haven't noticed it in my g2. If not, I'm not sure, maybe your carrier is doing it server side.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tempestrs4:
Since we have froyo kernel source is is possible to have a fully functional build of CM6? I know cm7 is newer but wouldnt it be nice to have CM working including gps? Also is a froyo MIUI possible as well?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tempestrs4:

About as functional as the CM7 port. Support for it was dropped so no GPS, same battery drain, and a glitchy camera.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redhotsgtpeppers:
Hey XDA'ers. I need your help. I just bought a Captivate today from someone, and I realized (once I got home) that the phone would never let me advance from the "slide up to unlock" screen. I tried everything, and it won't unlock. The only way to actually get into the phone is by rebooting it and swiping up (like to unlock it normally) as soon as you can. If you lock and attempt to unlock it after that, it does nothing.

I unrooted the phone, did a soft factory reset (retaining 2.2 Froyo), a hard factory reset, and even did an Odin3 reset (back to 2.1), to no avail.

Is there anything I can do, or is this phone beyond help?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveyBB:
You should not longer have a "slide up to unlock" if you oden-ed back to stock AT&T 2.1. Stock 2.1 only had one unlock screen and it was the sliding glass. Or, is this what you had and it still wouldn't unlock?

Sent from my Cappy.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redhotsgtpeppers:
Yeah, it's the standard "sliding glass to unlock" screen.

I just rememebered that a similar thing happens when I am done with a phone call. It takes a good 10-15 seconds for my phone to register that yes, I am done with the phone call, and yes, I should be allowed to select "end call" after I'm done.

Anyway, it's all very frustrating having a phone that is usable only after a reboot (the slide to unlock screen actually does unlock only at this point.) Any ideas?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gemuse:
This is more of a workaround as opposed to a fix, but if it works, then our friend here won't have to reboot every time the phone locks.

Just curious, did your seller say anything about the phone doing this?

~Gemuse
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redhotsgtpeppers:
Well, I was able to just exchange the phone at an AT&T help center for free, without any problems.

And the guy I bought it from said that it had "no hardware issues." And what a lie that was. He wouldn't even answer my phone calls after I figured out that it didn't work. BUT, it all worked out for the best.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] kaydu:
First off as a first time poster but long time reader, hello everyone.

Now my concern is, is anyone else having issues with Rom Manager lagging? I'm running newest release from Market(v4.2.0.2) and when I start the app, the little waiting circle keeps circling and circling, I can access all the main functions except manage/restore roms. It just doesn't load up the backup files. Even on the main menu the app appears to be still loading, though I can access Reboot in Recovery and Fix Permissions actions. Just not the manage/restore part.

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, FC/wipe data, and even FC > wipe data > uninstall > reboot > reinstall from Market. The issues still remain.

Thanks in advance for any help an insight.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samir5421:
I'm getting a similar problem. For me, when I open the app, the screen is black for some time (the app is an empty black screen), and then it shows the available functions.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pychobj2001:
same here, maybe it's checking for updates off the internet? i have noticed that sometime the text of the menus shows up before the icons next to the text...so maybe that bit of the programming needs tweaking....

[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamlilysdad:
It stalls for a second or two before the menu shows up for me, too. It also can't see my backups, but when I go into recovery they are there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
It's always been this way for me no matter what phone I use. It's gotten slightly better over time but it's still super dogish. It's going online and checking all the resources looking for the new ROM/kernel versions and now it pulls back ratings and comments too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jland22:
Rom manager looks for backups in the internal SD and CWR creates your backups to external SD. You can manually move them when mounted to computer or file manager of some sort if you want but in general rom manager is buggy for our phones due to tegra processor.

Multiple threads in the development section explain further, however you shouldnt be using rom manager to flash anything right now based off their reccomendations including the recovery (use NVflash). See the development section as well as use the old school flashing methods until a fix is implemented.

These guys are getting flooded with the same questions and problems so be sure to read the OP instructions and search the thread for your individual problems for there sake.

hey guys

im trying to uninstall HSPL from my phone. i previously had nandroid but my screen started acting up and it started being unresponsive and i need to uninstall HSPL in order to send it back. I've followed everything in order to uninstall it but for some reason when i boot into bootloader the setup does not start. Did i do something wrong? i did change the file name to LEOIMG.nbh and placed it into the sd card. btw should the sd card be formatted as primary or logical?

Im not sure whats going on so if you guys can help that would be great.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] stuntdouble:
Are any of your paid apps on THIS list? If they're not they might not be showing up because they might not be compatible with tablets. If some are on that list then contact google from the 'help' section at the bottom of the market page from a desktop browser.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] HasC:
I have exactly the same problem the only difference is that mine is not rooted, everything is stock with all OTA's applied. I can see paid apps but cannot install them.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] nlhughes:
same for me this morning, lost all paid apps from the market. I'm running stock 2nd update in the uk.... ant even see them....
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Matchstick:
I'm getting something very similar.

Whenever I try to access the market page of a paid app I get a pop-up message saying "Sorry, details page for the requested item could not be found" and if I press OK I get dumped back to the previous page.

However if I press the back button the page I want displays OK and I can install the app.

A quick google for the error message I'm seeing brings up a few reports from Xoom users seeing the same thing so I think Google may have b0rked the honeycomb market and hopfully will be unb0rking it soon.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] stuntdouble:
It's something on googles end as it's not our devices. It looks to me as if they are doing something with the servers that hold the market data. Let's hope they are upgrading something, and adding new features.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Matchstick:
There's a good thread on the problem over in the XDA Xoom section

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1057250 which is suggesting that it's a problem with a new version of Google Market (1.0.17) and wifi only devices.

Probably Google has forgotten to add tablet without SIMs to the list of devices allowed to access paid apps on the market (they had a habit of doing something similar for new phones a while ago).

If someone has a rooted device and market enabler installed they could try using that to trick Market into thinking you're a valid device but I have no idea how successful it would be.
