I want to buy one ,the Softbank 003z, but I am not sure if the orange san francisco roms support 003z. If someone has a 003z, please give me a help. And whether the way of flashing rom with 003z is different from san francisco?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blix1337:
Everytime I attempt to output from my evo through the HDMI out to my tv, my evo reboots. The cable I am using is a micro HDMI to HDMI from monoprice. I've tried this with HDMwIn and the stock sense output. I've tried it in CM7 and stock unrooted sense, all produce the same results. I've tried it with 2 different monoprice cables (which both work with the xoom) and 4 different tv's. When I took it to the sprint repair center, they tested it with their cable, and it worked fine. Do monoprice's cables not work with the evo?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VENOMENON_24:
That sucks. I had the same issue with both roms. It's not the cable, it's not the phone, nor is it the kernel; it's your TV.

I flashed the tiamat kernel and I had poor video and no audio (yes, audio was checked in the settings). With and without the tiamat kernel, HDMI would not work on my TV and yet with and without the kernel it worked perfectly on my parents TV at there house and a TV at my local Best Buy.

My TV is newer than my parent's TV set and yet it doesn't work on mine and perfectly on theirs. Not really sure why, but some TV's just won't accept phones. Huge bummer, I really don't want to go to my parent's place to watch videos from my phone.
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
I have been a big fan of VEGAn Ginger -- sure it has some issues but it works pretty well. But recently I was wondering how much of an issue would it be to install CM7.02, the VTL Launcher, and whatever other extras and just keep up to date.

I did and for the most part it works the same. A few things were FC that didn't on VEGAn and a few things worked that FC on VEGAn. No big difference on too many things.

However, two issues came up.

1) CM really wanted to install ROM Manager. The CM forum implied it works ok so I tried it. It DOES work on my system but it expects everything on /mnt/emmc which was a pain since all my backups and recovery were on the external sdcard /mnt/sdcard2 in VEGAn and /mnt/sdcard in CM7. What's worse is apparently it will refuse to flash over it self with an old version! So it wasn't insurmountable, just required me to move everything for awhile. But I finally got tired of it and reflashed good old bekit 0.8 using nvflash. So if you experiment, be sure you have a backup of partition 9 (clockwork mod) or you know how to unpack the ZIP file and flash it.

2) This brings up an interesting issue. I was going to try it but I didn't because I realized I'd have to repack the root directory and I didn't want to do it. But if the Gingerbread ROM repackagers were interested this would be easy for them to do. I'd propose having 3 directories in /mnt (well, plus the others, but 3 we are interested in): /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard /mnt/sdcard2

What you would do is let CM7 mount /mnt/emmc as always and change vold.conf to mount the external card at /mnt/sdcard2. Then you bind mount /mnt/emmc over /mnt/sdcard. That way you have the exact same filesystem at /mnt/emmc and /mnt/sdcard and in CM7 and the other ROMs it would "just work" since regardless of where you were looking for the SDCARD you'd wind up with the internal unless you looked for sdcard2.

I understand not all devices have big internal SD and that's why CM is set up the way it is, but if we are mucking with the mount scheme anyway, why not like this?

I may go in and try it again if I reinstall CM7. Without having to recast the ROM you'd have to put a userinit script in that DID not block but would spin off a process to wait for /dev/emmc to mount and then moved /mnt/sdcard to /mnt/sdcard2 and then created /mnt/sdcard again and did the bind mount. This requires a remount of root to make it writeable, etc. Kind of a pain.

Something like this (untested):

#!/system/bin/sh

( until mount | grep -l sdcard

do

mount -o remount,rw / /

mv /mnt/sdcard /mnt/sdcard2

mkdir /mnt/sdcard

chown 1000 /mnt/sdcard

chgrp 1015 /mnt/sdcard # whatever sdcard_r gid is? 1015? 1025?

chmod 076 /mnt/sdcard

mount -o bind /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard

mount -o remount,ro / /

done ) &

Something like that. Would be easier if you could just get vold to mount on sdcard2 to start with and have /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard2 already created in /mnt.

Just a thought.

By the way, another trick like this that I do is to mount sdcard2 as a subdirectory of sdcard. That works great EXCEPT when you USB mount the tablet it never works until you unmount. Not a big deal but a pain.
[G Tablet General] rajeevvp:
Good suggestion, but it's easier to just symlink /mnt/sdcard to /mnt/emmc and mount the internal SD card there--assuming that vold does not check that the mount point is not a symbolic link. The external SD card can be mounted on /mnt/sdcard2.

However, this might be a temporary problem. Google, for Gingerbread, wants the removable SD card on all devices, whether cell phone or tablet, to always be mounted on /mnt/sdcard (or /sdcard) and the internal SD card to be mounted elsewhere (/mnt/emmc, I believe), which is why Gingerbread-based firmwares like CM7 have /mnt/emmc and /mnt/sdcard as mount points.

In 6 months, hopefully, everybody will be on Gingerbread+ and the current multiplicity of possible mount locations will cease to be an irritation.
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
you have emmc and sdcard mountable right now. you can also mount a usbdisk. you can have 2 mounts going at the same time currently.
[G Tablet General] schettj:
Screenshots? Last I checked (7.0.2) you still could not take a SS by any method on CM7.

That's pretty much why I'm on VEGANginger.

I used the vold.fstab.zip thing floating around here or on the CM forums to change the fstab on CM7 to be like VEGANtab/froyo for mounting the internal sdcard - makes all the 3rd party apps happy.
[G Tablet General] Gelroos:
Same thing here, it makes almost everything back to normal, unless you try to use ROM Manager automagically, which will fail.
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
Symlinks don't work for everything -- especially any FS that is VFAT. Bind mounts always work even through a chroot, etc. I don't think you can mount on top of a symlink either although I could be wrong. Same problem with trying to symlink /mnt/sdcard/sdcard2 => /mnt/sdcard2. The sdcard FS is VFAT so...
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
screen shots are in cm7 now.
[G Tablet General] rajeevvp:
No, symlinks will work in this case because the link in not on the VFAT filesystem--it's outside it. And, you can mount through a symlink.
[G Tablet General] schettj:
Hm... they didn't work in 7.0.2 when I flashed it. So they're in the nightly since? I could flash over and kick the tires.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopmeister:
Hi all,

I have an X10 which had 2.1 stock FW installed.

-got root, dualtouch, xRecovery all working

-synced contacts to google

-made a backup with xRecovery

-flashed FreeX10 beta 4, gapps, hotfix, market, all sucessfully

Everything worked so far. And then when I synced again, all contacts were without phone numbers. So I logged on to google to check and yes all contacts were without numbers there too. So I though what the hell, I'll revert to the backup and sync again. But the backup kept WLODing. I tried all possible combinations of wiping cache and restoring and whatnot. So I decided to do things manually:

-extracted data.img

-found contacts2.db

-opened adb shell and deleted current contacts2.db file and replaced it with the old one with all the phone numbers, changed ownership to app_1.

And I thought that should be it... Instead what happens is that as soon as I launch Contacts app, the contacts get reverted to the first state, ie. without phones. The funny thing is, if after the whole procedure I tap really fast on the call log, I can see al the old calls and the old contact names - everything - but just for a second, and then from nowhere one by one everything gets overwritten again by the just-deleted ones. How is that possible, and what am I doing wrong?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] dds517:
For all those seeking good battery life on the G2x do not give up. I was surprised to see my battery last this long. Usually I get about 12-14 hours max on a charge, but my last charge lasted me almost 30 hours! Now this is with light to medium usage... Some calls, texts, downloading apps, surfing the web. But previously I don't think my phone would last this long even if I left it alone.

Reading the forums, I was skeptical about people claiming they had such good battery life, but here is the proof. I took a screenshot of my usage 'since last unplugged'. And there it is... 1 day, 5 hours 32 mins. About 6 hours was when I was asleep and in the morning not much battery had drained. I've never even seen it go to 1 day before. Sadly to say I'm not sure what the change exactly was. But here are some things that I did.

Get the battery monitor widget. Your phone should be idling at around -5mA. If it's higher then something is eating your battery.

1. freeze bloatware - I think some of them are responsible for eating battery. Also apps like facebook, twitter and the default email app are set to sync automatically. You need to manually disable it inside the app settings to keep it from syncing.

2. When i bought the G2x they just swapped out my old sim card and put it in the G2x. I changed out my old sim card and got it replaced. The metal connectors on the new one looked different. I heard somewhere that the old sim cards had trouble locking into some 4g towers and would waste battery.

3. I think this one might be it... I charged the phone with it OFF. Then turned it on and it charged some more, then off and continued to charge it. Then I turned it on and calibrated the battery. Not sure if that last part had anything to do with it. But it seems that charging the phone with it off helps somehow. It might be something in the android os that isn't letting the battery fully charge.

4. I also did edit the framework-res.apk file to mod my status bar, but I don't think that would affect the battery life. I could be wrong?

So here it is... hope this helps someone.
[Acer Iconia A500] Slowie911:
For some reason acer decided not to put the exchange feature onto the tablet which i found quite annoying. thankfully user member id10terrordfw found a way to fix this and posted the apks.

to get exchange working you first need root and either root explorer (paid app but worth the money) or es file explorer (free but you have to enable root privaleges inside the app. its under the settings menu)

1. navigate to system/apps and copy email.apk and email.odex

2. past these to your sd card as a backup

3. rename email.apk and email.odex to email.apk.old and email.odex.old

4. extract the files from the download and past them into the system/apps folder. (they should be Email.apk and EmailWidget.apk)

5. once done you can then go to email and try and setup an exchange account.

previously it only gave an imap and pop3 selection on the manual setup page. now it should include exchange as an option.

tested and working by me

again a big big thank you to the original poster/fixer the original thread is

exchange is working

2 conditions:

1. you have to add an account in settings sync choose company

2. you have o define a pin code

3. you have to encrypt your device.

i am at the encryption stage takes an hour especailly to find out if it slows down somewhat.

so before barking check.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
What a load of baloney. If you have the update from 139 or higher, all you have to do,with the default email client, is go to Settings , Accounts. Tap Add Account, Choose Corporate and set it up as normal. No PIN or encryption needed.
[Acer Iconia A500] swildebo:
Getting exchange to work

Hi all,

I finally got it working but I had to do just about everything in this thread.

Use the (paid) Root Explorer, all the others just won't get the (root) privileges needed to rename and paste, eventhough they might say they have. I fiddled around with this for an hour before I gave up and bought the root explorer app.

Check the permissions of the original files (email.apk and email.obex), when you have pasted your new files into the /system/apps folder the permissions will probably be different. Reset them to what the original files were otherwise your e-mail app will not show up in the apps list.

Reboot! My email app disappeared and only returned when I rebooted.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the original post in this thread!!
[Acer Iconia A500] mandrsn1:
PIN and Encryption requirements are set by your exchange server. Requirements change depending on how your IT has the server set up.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
ok if you think so. I just can tell you that it will not allow to connect to exchange as long as you have not encryptet the device, and this has nothing to do with exchange requirements, but with standard ACER policy, ie. if you use it as a company device you should encrypt the device.

I am exchange administrator using as well exchange 2007 and 2010 virtualized exchange servers and i am sure i know what i am talking about. ACTIVESYNC does not require any encryption at all.

but of corse i am talking about the standard email client coming from ACER/GOOGLE, not some other made up email client needing root and so on.

but you can believe it or not, up to you, but that is the way it works.

I was streaming a tv show and paused it and turned the screen off to answer a phone call.. After about a 10 minute conversation i went to turn it back on and nothing... holding down the power button doesn't do ANYTHING. i plugged it into the charger and nothing also. I am rooted with custom kernel installed with setcpu to scale all the way up to 1500mhz. it's been overclocked for a few weeks. When streaming i did notice it getting a couple degrees over 100 fahrenheit but didn't think that much of it cuz my EVO can get a lot hotter. . I didn't buy a warranty through Best Buy so i haven't checked what their return policy is. . I'm sure Motorola has some sort of warranty which i KNOW i voided with the rooting and such..
