[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Conorawr:
I am trying to install cyanogenmod 7 but rom manager just doesn't seem to be installing the flash clockworkmod recovery option, it takes a second to finish and it says "sucsessfully downloaded clockworkmod" not "succsessfully installed clockworkmod" so when i try to open recovery mode it keeps going to the defualt android recovery mode and i can't install CM7 because the install fails at verification.

I tried using an older version of the clockworkmod flash file but it says "an error occured while downloading your recovery", so i don't know what im doing wrong it could be because i am installing this on a motorola flipout which is identicle internally to the droid so i have been using that ROM but i think this is unlikley the problem.

Please help.

thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Even if it's identical on the inside, there might be firmware differences that you are not noticing. Try flashing a ROM for the Flipout instead.

I love this phone. But no phone is perfect. What are things you wish were fixed, or things that should be added in the successor to the G2?

- Keyboard can be better. Although the Z-hinge hasn't bothered me, it's kind of annoying when using it at a angle and apparently is loose for some.

- Keyboard needs arrow keys. I hate the touch direction pad... who invented that?

- Remove the touch direction pad with a button direction pad.

- Better screen for sunlight.

- Better battery life. I have to underclock the processor, adjust the display light low, etc, otherwise one day of heavy use will drain the battery entirely.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
I've seen some people say their battery life is horrible and some say it's above average. In you situation, I would suggest grabbing an OEM 1500 Evo Shift battery and see if that helps. There is a hinge fix too, but I'm sure you've seen that thread.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Vandam500:
Wish the G2 had a:

Bigger Screen

Front Camera

Thinner

For a successor all the previous plus:

Dual Core

1GB RAM

More Internal Space

Thats about it :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
I think that's reasonable to ask for.

4 inch screen. I'm not too set on anything bigger

Could care less about the ffc, but I know it's a big deal for most

Thinner, sure

NO STUPID Z HINGE DESIGN

Dual Core

1GB RAM

8GB Internal Memory, at least.

SD slot access without battery removal

Less locked down

[G2 and Desire Z General] shortlived:
Screen size good for me my only complaint is the keyboard and arrow track pad thing.....replace those with the g1 trackball and 5 row keyboard and we are good. In the future more speed more memory keep the shape and weight the same....i like heavy phones! Also better camera would be good. And who wants to videochat anyway? I know what the person looks like im talking too!
[G2 and Desire Z General] mannyftw:
Really the only thing that bummed me out was the lack of front-facing camera.
[G2 and Desire Z General] goister:
My wish list:

- Larger, higher resolution screen(4", qHD for starters)

- Smooth animation, less lag

- Longer battery life

- Keyboard with a dedicated row for numbers

- Better speakers, the current one really sucks

- No Z-hinge, a sliding mechanism like the CLIQ would be nice

- Fast OS updates, I'm still on Froyo

- More internal memory for apps. 1-1.5GB is too little!

- sdcard removal without taking out battery (not a big problem though)
[G2 and Desire Z General] daboy00:
Front camera.. 8 mega pixel in back
[G2 and Desire Z General] creepinm3:
I think the G2 is great. As a successor to the G1 I've learned to understand why HTC did what they've done with this device.

To our understanding this phone runs a second generation Snapdragon CPU. Same as the mytouch 4G. But... its underclocked at 806 while the mytouch is clocked to 1017. I tried my G2 at 1017 and compared it with my mytouch both running CM7 and they are almost evenly matched. But then after a while the G2 does get hot. This was the first phone sent out with 2nd generation snapdragon right?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gpclaker:
Battery life
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhilberg:
I'm somewhat disappointed with the G2's camera. It produces some very noisy images even in decent lighting. I'd like to see a better camera.

Also in bright sunlight the screen is extremely difficult to see, even at 100 percent. Definitely needs improvement there.

The speaker sounds very metallic and seems to rattle at a higher volume. Even my lowly Cliq trumps the G2 in this area.

Also the earpiece could be louder. I usually have it at full volume or one click down from it.

The earpiece is on the left side of the grill. When I first got my G2 I thought the earpiece was broken because it sounded very muffled. Turns out I was putting the middle of the grill up to my ear, because it's only natural. I think it should be in the middle of the grill.

Battery life is directly related to how the phone is used, so I'm not too bothered by that. If you want better battery life you need to change your habits.

EDIT: Forgot about the optical pad, hate it. Definitely needs a directional pad.

Most of these I consider nit-picky stuff. It's a great phone regardless.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
I actually love this phone. Better than my brother's DHD and definitely a huge upgrade from the Hero.

Only updates I would love are:

Higher resolution screen (qHD is the latest I believe?)

Slightly stiffer hinge (I love the Z-hinge design though, very unique)

Arrow keys to complement the keyboard

Slightly larger trackpad (Keep the optical pad overall though)

Beefier battery (1800-2000mAh stock rather than the 1350mAh we have now)

Access to SIM and SD Card without battery removal

Front Facing Camera

4-8GB Internal memory

Just small things IMO. I love this phone as is though!
[G2 and Desire Z General] itsnoahyo:
I wish the volume controls were on the other side of the phone. I can't seem to keep from hitting them in both portrait and landscape mode. And if the headphone jack is placed in a spot that makes it annoying to use the physical keyboard while listening to music. And obviously a better speaker. I'm still very much infatuated with this phone though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Amande:
1st priority:

Better camera

Easier access to SD card without battery removal

Better keyboard (more like the Rhodium i.e. arrow keys on the physical keyboard and dedicated row for numbers).

Better battery life (1800+mAh stock)

Front Facing Camera (Video calls)

2nd priority:

Higher resolution screen

Sliding design or better Z-hinge

A little more internal memory

My 2 cents :)

Anyone seen "safe mode" displayed on their G-Tab? I have been having problems with Gun Bros since a recent update and when the Tab restarted instead of the live wallpaper it had a static wallpaper and said safe mode. Instead of the normal LauncherPro launcher it was using the default VEGAn 1.0.5.1.1 launcher?

[HTC Inspire 4G] Jasoninaz:
I didn't want to change the radio firmware because its the firmware that came with the inspire 26.06.04.06_M. I updated RIL and afterwards the GPS gets a very solid lock fast 9 points. I now get 5 bars, I was getting 3 and the calls are more clear.

Please see this link here. I booted to recovery mounted /system and then ran the zip file update. Rebooted twice (I know what is the deal with the twice factor?) And, everything works great now.

I figure that updating to newer drivers is a lot safer than updating the radio firmware and I was correct.

should we flash the RIL you posted if we are on gingerbread or froyo? Does it matter?? I assume its safe with any gingerbread rom since you are running one...

This has a .zip you download that will include 3 files. The new Radio, already in a bootloader ready PD98IMG.zip file, a file called id10ts_ATT_Custom_ROM_Speed_Booster.zip (which is actually just the new RILs and the Prop Editor app (which can be removed) which is CWM flashable, the 3rd file (telephony.db) will not be needed for this process

Put these 2 files on your SD, boot to bootloader and install radio. Boot to Recovery and flash RIL. Done

On a side note - I have not been able to get GPS to lock for the life of me on the last 3 or 4 ROM/Radio combinations I've had installed. I've tried every single fix on these forums and nothing seemed to work. I was most recently running Android Revolution 5.1.3 (Gingerbread ROM) with the recommended GB radio. I flashed this new ATT radio, flashed the RIL, flashed the radio again, flashed the RIL again, and I appear to have GPS back. Finally.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] wasubi:
I had a bit of a glitch with my SGS, which was running 2.2.1 official via kies (uk, unbranded release) As i had warranty, i sent it off to be checked, and had been gone for a few weeks now. When 2.3.3 was released and then pulled from kies, i had only just sent my phone away. Just got it back 10 mins ago, and what do you know........i now have 2.3.3.

kinda interesting since samsung pulled it from official sources before warranty even got hold of my phone. So i wonder how they are getting hold of 2.3.3 (unless they paid ol samfirmwares.com a visit) No issues so far though, going great :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jheysl2:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dilbert83:

Some service centred had the 2.3.3 released before kies thats how XDA got the very first copy .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] wasubi:
this is what i thought may have been the case. But if there was a genuine problem with 2.3.3, hence it getting pulled, i wonder why places kept it. In saying that, there are people out there that havent experienced a problem at all running 2.3.3. Just thought id share anyway :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jetpack101:
So if they pulled it then it could be some time before we see the update on kies.

I wish they would ever get a move on.

I don't want to root my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Kies will get update after Samsung pass it to the phone providers and they customize as they want .

Rumours that no 2.3 update are more than likely untrue .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] robogo1982:
Why?

TW4 would be a valid reason to postpone the update a bit (plus bugfixes from 2.3.3 plus Google Talk voice chat implementation).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sincci:
Sorry, but why would Samsung include TW4 in SGS when they have just released SGS2?

Anyway, if you want TW4, there are plenty of custom roms that have it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbakers:
Because they wont sell more sgs2's then sgs's, thats why..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Danie1:
Well, all should have realized by now that the stated "camera bug" can hardly be the reason that SGS users still have to wait for the update, it's been too long now. They simply realized that there are a lot bigger problems with it and listening to my friends that managed to get the 2.3.3 over KIES there is much room to doubt Samsungs official explanation.

If you're lucky they go for 2.3.4 (which you can only hope for because 2.3.3 has a nasty SSL library regression), but considering they released the S2 this week I don't think they care too much about the S1 for that to happen... only time will tell.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barbo:
I need someone to give me a course "backing up 101" ... I have so many questions I do not know where to begin. I have muddled through rooting and things are running ok. I have even put CM7 on an SD card and it works but I do not understand about backing up:

Why do people backup individual apps when you could re-download them from market?

How do you backup "everything" (like all your apps at once and/or plus the ROM itself)?

When you backup something that is in internal memory (that's EMMC, right?) where does it back up to (my desktop? SD card? more internal memory?)

What programs (apps) do you use for backing up?

Any backing up info you would like to share would be very appreciated. Thank you.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdcrim:
People back up roms with clockworkmod in case you have issues or want to flash another rom and something goes wrong allowing you to revert back to the old one. That backup is stored on your nooks sd card. People back up apps with Titanium backup from the market. You can save the app plus the data (gmail for example). Those are stored on your nooks sd card as well. If you have a lot of apps, in my opinion, it is easier to restore from titanium than redownload each one. Both clockworkmod and titanium backup creates folders on the sd card and recalls them when needed. You would not have to concern yourself with doing anything but choosing to back up or choosing to restore.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artcwolf:
I make backups of the ROM because i'm constantly messing it and sometimes it's easier to restore it then try and fix what i've goofed up.

Using Titanium Backup i do a batch backup of all my apps at once, and if i need to restore even one app from it It's saved all data.

[General Questions and Answers] IT_Architect:
How can I organize the Start Menu without actually organizing the Start Menu?

I have an HTC Touch Pro2 with the factory installed Sense 2.5 and Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM. I've added CHT. Every time I install a program, it naturally installs the shortcuts to the ../Start Menu/Programs directory. If you later organize the shortcuts, you break your Quick Links and Free Links. If you do an update, the program's shortcut gets installed back in the default location and you need to delete or move them. If I could just let the programs install in the default \Start Menu\Programs directory, and have something that could organize the display independently of the way they are stored, I would never have to change the default program's default shortcut location, and could organize and re-organize the "Start Menu" at will without breaking links. This is not a problem for Windows desktop because you don't generally have a shell above it like HTC Sense, linked to the shortcuts of the Start Menu. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

The cure would be if Sense + CHT could link to files outside of the ../Start Menu/Programs directory structure.

Thanks!
[Samsung Mesmerize] scubab:
Good afternoon all,

I know some of these issues have been kind of addressed in small detail (at least from what I've been able to locate with searching) but being the noobsauce I am I'm still pretty confused.

My wife got a new phone since her Mezmerize was having a ton of force closes, even after having USCC load 2.2 with the Samsung PST in the service center. Since we we now have a Mesmerize to play with I was thinking of modding the phone to see if we can get around the issues.

I've sucessfuly rooted the phone with SuperOneClick but I've read there isn't much reliable modding for the Mez currently. We only want it for games for us and the kids so we'd leave it on Airplane mode and simply use WiFi so having a USCC radio does not matter to us. I've read it is possible to load a mod designed for the Fascinate into the phone but when I attempt to 'apply sdcard:update.zip' using the premium CWM app with the JITsomethingorother for the Fascinate I get the following message:

[COLOR="Yellow"]-- Install from package...
Finding update pacage...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Red"]E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted[/COLOR]

Since this leaves the phone in recovery mode I can attempt to manually apply the update but I get an error image /!\ with an Android standing by it. I can reboot the phone okay but there seems to be no way to mod this unless I'm overlooking some simple steps :confused:

I'm assuming this is due to having a factory release of 2.2 on the phone but this is just speculation.

Any advice?
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
As of Android 2.2, ROM Manager, which installs the official version of ClockworkMod, no longer supports the Mesmerize.

You'll want the hacked version of CWM, which we call CWM Red, from this thread:

Unfortunately I don't believe without a custom ROM and / or a third party software this is possible to get working.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidbrazda:
Same problem here. I bought Freedom Pro bluetooth keyboard, I managed to connect it TO DHD official ROM with third party drivers found on otadrivers.com. However these drivers have limitedbuiltin keybord layouts (English, Deutsch, Korean), but I need Czech layout with special characters and there is no way user can create customer layouts. For me the only way is CM7 ROM with working HID profile, and then editing keychar files in order to create Czech layout for the keyboard.

Hopefully guys from Revolution HD ROM will implement bluetooth HID profile into their ROM.

My 2 cents.
