[General Questions and Answers] CodeMata:
You need to sign your apk

Hey, I believe all you need to do is sign your .apk with a certificate.

Here is a link about creating a certificate if you dont already have one. I tried to include a link but it wont let me. (sorry im a new user)

Once you have acquired a certificate, you can then use the JDK utitility called jarsigner. The terminal command should be something like this...

Hope this helps ya out.

I Just bought this phone for 169 euro. I Thought good value for money, Android, Capacitive screen, nice design.....good!

Here we go:

1) Creak cover

2) Virtual NO sunlight legibility.

3) Fake HVGA it's actually a 320x200

4) Unresponsive touchscreen (really irritating keyboard)

5) Crappy gsm reception.

6) Incoming call lockscreen is buggy (Eclair)

7) Hilarious camera performance

8) 168 RAM (256 claimed)

When i've found that skype for android can't send sms i smashed the phone to the ground, there was pieces everywhere, i walked on 'em, i spit on it.

Tomorrow i will buy a nokia 1280!

Goodbye forever.

So i have searched everywhere and can not find an answer.

A couple days ago I formatted my SD Card and created an ext2 partition.

Since then, every time i have tried to flash a rom (i have tried multiple..CM7..Sense 3.0...MIUI) i get

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:Can't open /sdcard/ "name of ROM"

(bad)

Installation aborted.

I have used different CWM partitions, downloaded the ROMs multiple times, and even task29 ed

can someone please tell me how i can get CWM to open ROMs again?

Thanks in advance

SOLVED: Thanks to zach.antre and invisblebm for the help, you need to format your SD Card with Panasonic SD Formatter.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] attp88:
I also have this problem.

I don't use MAGLDR to transfer my zip file.

I have flashed my rom with DAF style, and I use android 2.3.4 on my hd2 cell phone. After connect my phone with my win7 pc, I transfer my zip file through file manager.

I think that maybe it is a privilege problem to open this zip file@@

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zach.antre:
The SDcard needs proper format with panasonic sd formater as invisiblebm suggested before.

Thats is the problem, don't look for another solution.

After you format it and check that it works you can create the ext partition from within ClockWork Recovery in advance menu.

In Panasonic SD Formater go options and use "reallocate size" or something like that to have back the full size of the SD

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kftgr:
Hi,

I rooted my Nook 1.2 with ManualNooter 4.5.6 and have it running at 1.1GHz. Have some issues and was wondering if I can get some help.

How do I install non-market apps? I went to the amazon page and was able to download the Amazon_Appstore-release.apk. When I click on it, I get a choice of App Installer and Package Installer, neither of which works. I've tried unchecking and checking "Allow Non-Market Apps" in Nook Tools, but it still didn't work. It notes that the apk must be copied to /system/app...how do I do that?

I've installed SetCPU (full version) from the market and set max to 1100. SetCPU seems like it can do so much more, but I'm hesitant to mess anything up. Anyone willing to share their settings?

When looking through the Battery Use stats, I noticed that Cell Standby is using up 49% battery, and Phone Idle another 2%. Is there some way to set airplane mode or something to disable those?

Thanks,

kftgr
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KWKSLVR:
Easy solutions (although they take some steps). I've done both of these.

Amazon App Store:

* Download to your PC

http://amzn.to/getamazonappstore

* Put the apk onto your sdcard.

* Use a File Manager that will give you Read/Write access. I use SUFBS, so I'll give instructions for that.

Open SUFBS, rotate your nook on it's side and click the S and the D in the upper left hand corner. For whatever reason, at least on my Nook, it must be in landscape to be able to click the S.

* Navigate to the Amazon App Store apk. In my case, it was /sdcard/Amazon_Appstore-release.apk

* Click on it, click "Install", click "Package installer".

It should install, and ask you to log in.

DONE!

For the Cell Standby issue, you need to rename two apk's, you can do this in ADB, but since we're in SUFBS anyway:

* Navigate to /system/app

* Long Press "Phone.apk" until a menu pops up

* Select "Rename", rename it to "Phone.OLD"

Next, still in /system/app

* Long Press "TelephonyProvider.apk" until the menu pops up

* Select "Rename", rename it to "TelephonyProvider.OLD"

REBOOT

DONE!

If you ever want to turn those two back on, just replace .OLD with .apk and reboot again. It will make a difference in your battery life. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0n1n69:
I downloaded the Amazon App store apk and have tried to install it, but whenever I do I get a Parse Error, "There is a problem parsing the package"

Edit: This happens whenever I try to use the Application Installer first, then the Package Installer. I've rebooted the machine and tried just using the Package Installer and I get a error saying my phone has been set to only allow applications from the market to be installed. I've verified that in the Nook Tools the "allow non-market apps" checkbox is checked. I even unchecked it and rebooted and it was checked when I went back into the Tools.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kftgr:
I couldn't find SUFBS in the market, so used Ghost Commander and was able to install the apks with your instructions. Thanks!

Could you provide the adb instructions? I already have the sdk installed.

I tried the renaming steps in Ghost Commander, but the new name doesn't stick, even though it's been given root.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kftgr:
@r0n1n69:

Just use the steps that KWKSLVR provided. Basically: get a file manager that provides read/write access, navigate to the apk, then install with "package installer."
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KWKSLVR:
Try:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb shell mv /system/app/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.OLD
adb shell mv /system/app/TelephonyProvider.apk /system/app/TelephonyProvider.OLD
adb reboot

[Atrix 4G Accessories] elementaldragon:
Well.... rather than post it in the other Pure Gear thread, figured i'd give this one it's own as a bit of a review thread.

Right off the bat, i believe i can say i'm more impressed with the faux leather shell from Pure.Gear than i was with the rich plum satin shell i had (mostly cause the finish was peeling off the rich plum shell). Unlike the satin shell, this faux leather shell has a softer feeling core, which is nice seeing as this thing has quite a grip on the phone. Was actually a bit tricky to get it off the phone to take these pics because when i'd get it off of one corner and then try to get the second corner undone, it seemed to want to snap back on to the original corner. Less likely to possibly scratch the phone with a kinda rubberized feeling material. It's also a bit thicker than the satin shell, but in no way does it make it uncomfortable. I actually quite like the faux leather since it gives a bit of grip to the phone... i believe even a bit more than the eBay TPU cover. It also has more of a lip around the sides than the satin shell due to being a thicker shell.

If there's any downside i can think of, it's that the faux leather section of the back is basically just a sticker. It seems that if i wanted to, i could peel it off..... but it also doesn't seem likely that it would just come off on it's own.

But overall.... so far i'm quite satisfied with this one.

[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
I'm wondering how much if any of my half-bright-phone's hardware could be tethered to my NC, and how. The SE-W760 has 3G, GPS, a solid camera, and of course a mic. Hell, it has better speakers than the NC. Sony Ericsson has Windows software that makes it ridiculously easy to tether with an ordinary (non-tethering, non-smartphone) data plan, but understandably for what was originally a phone OS, I haven't found any apps that support tethering TO an Android device.

The devices connect stably via bt, but they can't do anything. Does anyone know an app for the NC and/or a JAVA app for the phone that might work?

ETA: Well, they can do a bit. The phone can 'remote control' the NC, which is worth a laugh, and push files to it but not receive them from it, which may come in handy some day.
[Nook Color General] rigy73:
There is an app called nc tether in android development forum and in market too but it wont work if your nook fails to send files to your phone.

I am having the same problem my nook can send files to some devices but not to my and several other phones that i tried, so essentially its the nooks bluetooth's fault.

You can expect it to get better with the new driver that they are building for the newer kernel or in the end you will just have to find a wifi phone.
[HTC Desire S] heidewitzgar:
hey everyone,

I have been on this forum many years but now I have to restart again: I switched to the Desire S, over from good ol' windows.. :P

I am confused by all the posts and just need a quick answer so I can start contributing here. I bought a Hong Kong Desire S in Beijing, it is S-OFF (I checked) and has some ROM on it which contains a lot of preinstalled stuff. Now I would like to switch to a pure, clean stock ROM.

Question 1: is there a clean, official ROM I can flash on the phone which will be updated over the air by Google/HTC legally, or will I need to do the update (as soon as there is a new Android version) from now on myself?

Question 2: IF I flash, do I need to care which ROM I use or can I flash in there whatever I want? Like, try a Europe ROM first, then a US ROM and maybe an Asian one afterwards? Will they all work, despite my phone being from Hong Kong?

Question 3: will the phone keep being S-OFF even after flashing?

I am aware that there are all the answers out there somewhere if I search long enough, but I would really appreciate if you could be so nice once and give me short answer here :)

thanks a lot!!

henrik
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
If you take a look in the thread a little way down, there is a selection of shipped tons 'shipped desire s rom collection', currently they are mostly various carrier based European, there is a clean stock rom also, which I'm running until I get s-off. However there are a couple threads with customised roms one from MarylandCookie and one from LBC, that may be a little more interesting. The custom roms won't change s-off, but I am unsure whether the stock roms will....
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Once you are S-off flashing roms does not take you back to S-on, in fact I don't think its possible to go back.

Its also now possible for you to become root.

I'd be more tempted by the custom roms in this thread than by a stock rom.
[HTC Desire S] heidewitzgar:
haha,

you guys are good, thanks a lot! "sent from my desire S", guess I need to install the xda dev app too asap :P

ok, then as a last question: I also would tend to install a custom ROM, however, isn't it true that after flashing such a ROM I cannot use the Marketplace app AND also will not receive official OTA updates?

On the other hand, if I install the Europe Stock ROM, I keep both these opportunities right? meaning, the stock rom will be updated regularly and I can buy apps on the app market?
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
You'd be best off to try both and see what you find to your liking
[HTC Desire S] heidewitzgar:
makes sense.

will download both and first try the newest MOD rom.. Hope I only have to connect it to the PC and run the exe.

Thanks both of you for your help!

cheers!
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
Custom: no problems with market - no ota updates (don't even try it - will mess your system if forced - but normaly will abort)

With EuropeStock you will be able to update without problems - but you will not have the nice sense3.0 lockscreen.

For both: root with "gingerbreak"

Than with clockworkmodrecovery (ROMmanager from market) you can do backups of the ROMs and could try both. BUT: BEFORE you install the OTA-update you have to switch to stock-recovery.

"good old win": I was on win-moblie for years - you will not miss it.. ;)

hth
[HTC Desire S] heidewitzgar:
I rooted my phone with gingerbreak successfully, but the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" process stops after 5-10min, saying it was unsuccessful.. Is there another way to flash the custom rom, or better: is there something I forgot? do I need to change a setting somewhere? format the sd card?

Hmmm didn't see the above reply for some reason...

Simple answer, nope there is no ghost/clone for Android devices,

If you want to fully backup your Galaxy Tab rom/kernel, the only method I know of is the the roto backup method.

See the above poster's link or "XDA Galaxy Tab Bible" and search the very helpfull guide/directory for "Roto Backup" and "TaBackup & EasyKernel Backup and Restore"
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
Not true at all.

Amon RA recovery has Nandroid backup/restore for devices he supports. It's a full rom backup that can be restored easily.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
Just make a nandroid backup. Easy.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commenter:
What's not true about it? Ghost is a tool used for drive cloning. It takes a snapshot/image of your drive or partitions on your drive, for the purpose of duplicating/replicating to a new/replacement drive. Ghost is generally not used to backup individual files. As for nandroid, if i am not mistaken it is not useable (for Galaxy Tabs) until you flash with a custom rom that includes CWM or unless you try the BETA of CWM for Galaxy Tabs. The only problem with that is that only 2 North American providers (recoveries) are supported (and I personally would not rely on a beta for backups), so if your provider is not supported then Roto Backup method is probably the way to go for now.
