I guess none of the above will solve my problem. say if i make a backup, than again my new tab have to be rooted with the same kernel flashed to restore it.

i need something like norton ghost. zip zap zoommm.. one file will root the tab, will flash kernel, will flash Rom i mean will clone the entire tab.

Hi everyone,

Over the past couple of days I've noticed something weird on my SGS.

When I click menu>settings there is a rather slow transition effect into the settings area. Opening applications is very snappy, but I've tried uninstalling ADW Launcer Ex and factory resetting the phone with no joy.

It's rather weird, but everything is fully loaded was the transition effect opens the window it's just really slow.

Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers,

I know enough to root/fix my phone when I inevitably break it due to tweaking but little to nothing (mostly nothing) about theming or writing/editing apps.

So I'd like someone with such knowledge to help me out with something. In Handcent and some other messaging apps have the option to vibrate only when the phone is on silent as an option. I'd like this option written into the default mms.apk or some instructions/tutorial or something else I can monkey around with to do it myself.

In addition though not really a high priority, I'd like a way to possibly change the Desk Clock.apk so it will instead open Winamp instead of the default music player app. Or again, some kind of tutorial that I can end up figuring it out myself. Not important at all but I like to leave Desk Clock on while at work and it would just eliminate some extra clicks for me.

Thank you in advance for your time and all the work everyone has done on these themes and developing <3

EDIT: Also is it possible to update the BIOS animation .zips to be flashable in CWM3, I knew some people were asking about it but I'm not sure what ended up happening to that.

Found something called Connectify me that turns my ethernet cable connected netbook into a wifi hotspot l.

Just thought Id spread the word as have been searching for a solution for a while and getting nowhere.
[Desire General] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
On some computers Connetify won't work. A lot of people are complaining about an error 651, that cuts your LAN internet connection when starting the Connectify hotspot.

So far there is no solution to this yet, as far as I can tell.

However, on Windows 7 there is a way to do the same as Connectify manually:

http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorial...ate-Wireless-Hosted-Networks-in-Windows-7.htm

Works like a charm for me, after I put both connections in the same computer network.

Only thing that bugs me: If I connect my laptop to the created hostednetwork, internet is as fast as on my desktop pc. But on the Desire it's kinda slow, while market reaches my desktop speed upon downloading. Just the browser doesn't seem to get the same speed.

Just rooted my NookColor 1.2 with ManualNooter 4.5.6

Everything worked fine mostly. A few issues:

- Market fails to find or even list certain items (try searching for Tank Hero for example - doens't find it). Not sure if this is a ROM issue...worked fine on Eclaire. I did do the fix listed to list more things and found most apps, but some are still not findable. Not sure why that is - worked fine in Eclaire

- Softkeys works fine in launcher, etc. However in full screen double clicking doesn't seem to bring up Softkeys and simply quits to home screen (or whatever default home action defined by the app is). Worked fine in 1.1. Just to be clear that's Softkeys not coming up when I hit n twice in full screen mode (I have service disabled, launch softkeys on doubletap). Anyone else see this? (got around this so far by having the annoying softkeys button hanging and that seems to work, but double clicking still doesn' bring up softkeys)

- News & Weather doesn't seem to work (anyone else see this? maybe due to location?)

Never mind Netflix - got that to work. Need to use Root Explorer, for some reason didn't work when edited on PC.

Overall looks very good though
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
Hi.

I have some apps i want to install.

I have uninstalled the weather app along with the weatherSyncProvider and WeatherProvider.

So all the posts say "copy to system/app, clear dalvik-cahce, and reboot" to install a system app.

But thats not working. So after rebooting, i went into Root Explorer and installed the Weather app. It installed successfully.

On the other hand, the WeatherSyncProvider and WeatherProvider app didnt install giving the "Application not installed" message.

I tried using adb to install it, and it gave me an error (forgot what the error said exactly) but it gave the meaning that the error was got to do with the sharedID

which is com.htc.uid.rosie. I've tired way too much, but cant get it to install.

Do i have to change anything in the AndroidManifest.xml file?

---- OH and same thing happens to HtcMusic.apk, but this gives the DEXOPT error, and the .apk had no .dex file but has a .odex file and im running a stock 2.3.3 rooted odex ROM
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosty_ice:
Root is not enough to make persistant changes to the system directory, you need S-OFF.

Oh and you should use a deodexed ROM, it will save you the hassle of deleting the odex files.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
yea, i have radio and eng s-off.

i've been to many posts, read MANY solutions, but none work.

I like the odex ROMs, mostly because its more stock'ish' and i like the challenge! :D , but as you can see i've hit a little bump with the error that adb is giving me (DEXOPT and SHARED ID).

And if you could please...

When i get an app that is DEXed, will using the 'dexopt-wrapper' command always work to make a .odex file? -- because i used it with the sense 3.0 lockscreen and it worked but with

com.htc.framework.jar (in /system/framework/)

it didnt. -- it wouldnt even load the bootanimation, just hanged on the HTC splash screen.

Could you tell me the importance of the com.htc.framework.jar file?

Sorry if its too much questions! :D:D ... any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nayan8teen:
A similar issue happened to me just a few days back. While trying to apply a Rosie patch, i just used Root Explorer to copy the new apk to /data/app_s, but for some reason that did not work.

So i then tried pushing the apk via adb, and it worked. I'm not really sure what difference this makes, but it seemed to work for me.

So maybe you could give this a try. Instead of copy-pasting, try to do a push.

Im running on the destroyer v2 rom... Can someone in detail tell me how to get thw GPS working??? Im confused on the MSL reader thing but I have the 6 #'s.... Help with the GPS
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
ok, so first of all, destroyer v2 is waaaaay out of date. try end of days (the update to destroyer) or flash the cm7 nighlty that will come out tonight (that's what the destroyer series is based upon).

then, make a nandroid backup. boot into a sense rom, any sense rom, and get a gps lock to as close as possible. then, find your msl using msl reader. then type ##gpsclrx# into the dialer. it'll ask for your msl. put it in. it'll clear your gps, and reboot. after it reboots, GET A GPS LOCK TO AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE. IT WON'T BE ABLE TO GO ANY CLOSER (I DONT THINK AT LEAST) ONCE YOU NANDROID BACK! so after getting a lock, LEAVE GPS ON!!! and boot into recovery. restore the nand backup. now as long as you stick with cm7 based stuff, it should work just fine.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhymesayer:
I am surprised this question doesn't get asked a lot. I spent most of the night learning about the process of rooting this e-readers into tablets when suddenly I realized that nook colors only take microSD cards... Is there a way to just use the usb cord or any other way than just using a microSD?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkhuh:
You need to boot into something other than stock B&N ROM to flash the rooted ROM and microSD card is the only way of doing that that I am aware of (short of physically tempering with the device). If the reason you are asking is because your computer doesn't have microSD slot then they do have USB adapters for those. Hope thats helpful
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhymesayer:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I'll buy a microSD and microSD adapter when I have the time. What do you recommend? Will I be spending a lot of money on it?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkhuh:
You can get a basic microSD card + SD adapter at a store for under $15. If you need a USB adapter I am not sure but many modern computers/laptops have the SD/MMC slot so you most likely don't need one
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumpingsheep5:
You can use your nook color as a microSD card reader. When you plug your NC into your computer it shows as a separate drive so you can burn images onto it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdp:
I'm also wondering why the boot from SD method is necessary to root the Nook. Is it because there isn't a way to root it within the stock ROM like we typically do on our phones?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsf3g:
Or possibly because it's so easy no one's bothered figuring out a different method. I mean, seriously: if your device will boot from SD why would you waste your time mining the device for other exploits?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdp:
Yeah, very good point and that's probably the case.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chibucks:
because by default, USB debugging is off, so the nook color is only a storage device (hence, you can't adb into it to get to the right files), so you're just stuck with access to your sdcard and the "nook sdcard", which is worthless.

the default nook apps don't have any tools installed that would allow otherwise to do it on the nook itself as well...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennethMC:
I don't have a card reader right now. But are you saying that I can connect the Nook to my computer by the USB cable and use Win32DiskImager to burn CWM onto the microSD card and follow the guide below? Is that true only for Nook Color? I have a Nook HD+ so I don't know if it would be the same for me.

hey guys.. i guess im kinda new with androids but all i have is a question... now the i learned how to flash a rom.. its very cool but why do we need kernels what does it mean? just flashing a rom thats not all there are kernels and other stuff but i dont know what they are and what for
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Kernels are the core system. Sort of like drivers. Custom Kernels affect stuff like Overclocking for speed, Undervolting the processor to save battery, GPS locks, WiFi range, etc.

They can increase stability, speed, and battery.

The big thing, I think, that most people sought after is the Overclocking/Undervolting (OC/UV). This overclocks the processor while lowering the power usage of the chip at the same time. So you get a faster phone while saving battery. Brilliant. It is my understanding that custom kernels come with normal settings by default. They only ALLOW overclocking abilities using programs like SetCPU and the likes. I think the voltage is lowered on all speeds though, so flashing an UV rom will save you battery even if running 1ghz stock speed. I've seen people go up to 1.4ghz.

It is best to test a rom first for a few days. Figure out what bugs you encounter, if any. Get a feel for the rom so when you flash a new kernel you can see if it will work for you. If you do too much at once and you encounter bugs it will be hard to pinpoint.

I've flashed custom kernels but don't do it often. I know CM roms have their own custom kernels that I believe are flashed back when flashing the rom. This is why CM7 differs from stock in a lot of ways. One example is stock G2x won't work with Wii remotes. The bluetooth stack in the kernel is a custom LG one and doesn't work. CM uses a more common bluetooth stack so you not only gain this functionality but also others.

The list goes on and on. I think most of the custom kernels are BASED off CM7 and are only compatible with CM7. I think a custom kernel on top of a stock LG rom will cause bootloops. So the kernel and rom have to work together.

I am not an expert but I think I've touched the bases. Someone correct me if anything is untrue or misinformative. Technicalities aside, this is the gist of it.

Well I had a recent brush with "oh no, someone swiped my phone," luckily a friend mistakingly put it in their purse. Any how, the motorola data wipe did not work. So after some research and reading reviews/features I found these items on the market. Don't want anything to kill the battery, but also budget conscious. From the features alone Lookout looks the best but a close alternative is Phone Locator Pro. Two lightweight contenders are also listed. Who has had any experience with these, currently on Lookout trial.

Lookout Mobile Security

$30 a year for lockout/wipe service, otherwise free version is for locate (GPS switch), backup, and antivirus. all done through site access at mylookout.com. plan B can be installed after it has been lost for locate. 1.2mb

Where's my droid

free, ringer, locate only works if GPS is on but rave reviews otherwise? done through text or email. 108k

Phone Locator Pro

$2.83 USD, ringer, GPS switch, sim lock, call/text log, remote wipe. all of these activated through text. can be installed after it has been lost. 914k

Lost Phone

free, lock, locate, ringer, sim lock. done via text. 68k

I have an HTC Evo with with a custom rom (CM7 7.0.2). My SD Card became full, so I figured I would delete some nandroid backups. I went ahead and did this (deleted a couple gigs worth). After doing that, my disk usage didn't seem to change - I still had a full SD card. After tinkering and cleaning some more, I still was showing a full SD card. I went ahead and partitioned. After that it still seems as though when I delete things to free up space, my disk usage stats still remain the same. Am I missing something?

I originally posted this thread about 5-6 months ago. After some time has passed by, I am having the same issue again... If I delete items from my SD card, it does not register the freed space. I can reboot, remount, etc. and whether I go to Settings or Titanium or Computer, it shows the same amount of storage being used. The weird part is that my SD card only has a gig on it (not 5). The only way to fix this is to partition... This is really irritating. Any thoughts?

You can also try SD Maid to free up space.
[General Questions and Answers] skitapa:
I don't know how it works on android, but when you remove stuff in GNU/Linux/unices it can take a minute or two to once again get registered as available storage.

Then just to rule out the obvious, you mentioned that you partitioned the drive, are you sure you are looking at the right drive for the available space? I would recommend going to a terminal and delete the stuff you want gone and then use the df command to see available space. I think it's in BusyBox I am not sure though but it should be.
