Nexus S

Once I got over the subsidy "free free" thing and went with an unlocked Nexus S on ATT, things just "worked".

Took only a few seconds to pull the SIM from my old phone and shove it into the new. The i9020A instantly signed into the ATT network, also locked on to the 3G data just fine.

It's the size and shape of a regular phone, fits my hand, fits my pocket.

Sparse is a word I would use for the apps installed.. but thats a good thing.. the only apps on it now are the apps I want on it.. its clean.

I know its a dev phone, but "really" do all the other phones "add" anything to the reference? Most seem to remove, block, break, reduce and charge you extra for everything.. that's not what I'd call a bargain.

And I've yet to see a "full featured" phone app from one of the big three I actually wanted to "pay for" with the 2 year contract.

The Samsung event on 5/24/11 has been postponed..... An Atrix is slowly looking like my new phone. I may wait a week or so before I set a decision in stone though.
[General Questions and Answers] summerfences:
Anyone have anything to say about the Atrix before I buy one, root it, and pop GingerBlur on it? It's either that or wait for the white AT&T Nexus S if it is coming out any time soon. Seems like it would be the perfect time.

Hi all,

Is it possible to stream audio from laptop to android powered mobiles over adhoc network? In places where there is no internet connection, i want to create a adhoc network from my laptop to which my mobile should connect. And through this mechanism is it possible to use the Samsung built-in app "AllShare" to stream via adhoc n/w? Or please suggest any other techniques.

Note: I am using Samsung Galaxy 3(2.2) and Windows 7 on my laptop.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eboetcker:
I would use the G Mote 2.0 app, it is very useful and has beta streaming mixed in. it works really well tough.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jay10826:
1. Is there any app that allows using the volume down button to turn on the screen instead of the power button? The few that I've tried don't work.

2. I don't like how the 4 bottom buttons don't always stay lit up when the screen is on. They go off fairly quickly and I can no longer see the buttons when I'm in a dark room. My old phones buttons stayed lit up as long as the screen was on.

Thanks for any help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
That's some good questions.

The second one drives me crazy. Sometimes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BeHarsh:
I'd be interested in both of those things as well. Coming from a MT3G I'm still getting used to the power button on the top. For as large as the phone is, and being left handed, it is pretty awkward to hit the power button then slide to unlock without having to readjust my hold on it or use 2 hands.

Also, it does get pretty annoying when the lights turn off and I want to hit a button. Sometimes I'll try to go back a page in the browser and I'll just hit Home instead.... just something that dims it to a very very low light would work, or kept it at that same low light all the time. Those are pretty damn bright, and I dont see a reason for them being so bright.

Guys i think i messed up my thunderbolt. I had it successfully rooted ect. It ran perfectly fine and i tested some root apps and they ran fine and superuser worked. I downloaded kernel manager on the marketplace and then tried to use leankernel. With no research into kernel changing, all i base my info on was what people said about it and it having a 4.8/5 rating. Well I installed and flashed ect and it wanted to reboot. Well after showing the lightning it doesnt do anything. Just sits on the blue cloud screen. :( I'm ****ed lol..

edit: it just sits on the cloud screen, after like 15 minutes it showed the htc screen and rebooted on its own. Still stuck.

A common comment for all not just the op. Before you begin to modify the phone

MAKE SURE YOU READ UP..........

There is plenty here to read up on your particular phone... so read. People figure alot of things out and post them so you do not have to choke on modifying your phone

The op is typical, did not understand how to get into recovery....... not good

Again, read up before venturing off into the custom mod world..........;)

I flashed froyo on my new defy 2.51 to Pays-ROM Defy v5.0 which is based on 3.4.3-11. It says my kernel version is 2.6.32.9.

I want to downgrade my phone to the original stock rom, to get my warranty back. Should I just flash it to the 2.51 eclair stock with rsd lite? or will that brick my phone?
[Defy General] Jaflo:
It depends on whether you flashed a fixed SBF or not. If you flashed a fixed SBF of Android 2.2 (3.4.3-11) than you can flash a full SBF of Android 2.1 to your phone (look for it at the forum) and your phone will be alright. If you flashed a full Android 2.2 (3.4.3-11) SBF than it's not possible to get back to your stock rom (Android 2.1).
[Defy General] LeoD7K:
There's something I'd like to know about this, even if you go back to 2.1 for warranty, can the warranty guys still know you modded it?
[Defy General] pragund:
What is the difference between fixed and full sbf ? How do I get to know which one I have?

I followed the steps on this post -

[ROM] Pays-ROM Defy v5.1 Froyo with Ginger feeling

This is what i followed --- :s

README - Step by step flashing guide:

You can go to step 5 if you already flashed 3.4.3-11 SBF, rooted and installed clockwork recovery or have ROM v5.0 or higher.

Don't wipe after you flashed the SPF or the ROM. Also no wipe is needed before or after a ROM update. But wipe before flashing a new SBF!

1.) Wipe your phone in recovery mode

2.) Flash 3.4.3-11 Motorola SBF with RSD Lite in bootloader mode

(The sbf is packed in a archive just extract it and then you get the sbf.)

3.) Enable ADB in the settings and root your device with SuperOneClickRoot for Froyo. Then do a reboot.

4.) Disable ADB and install clockwork recovery image

5.) Put the ROM.zip to your SD Root and boot into clockwork recovery

6.) Flash the ZIP + reboot and enjoy :-)
[Defy General] Jaflo:
@LeoD7K

I don't believe they can see which rom you've flashed in the past so you'll be save if you revert to your old rom. (Someone on this forum told me that)

@pragund

I'm not sure whether this is a fixed SBF, you should ask the developer who started the thread. Another way to find out whether it's fixed is to check the file size. A fixed SBF is very small, around 15-40 MB whereas a full SBF is around 300 MB. So if you still have the SBF file you flashed you can check the file size. Also you have to make sure you've never flashed another full SBF before. So if this was your only upgrade and it's a fixed SBF you can downgrade back to Android 2.1.
[Defy General] pragund:
my sbf file size was 360mb! :(

Is there any other way to get to an original stock rom? so as to get warranty?
[Defy General] Jaflo:
Well the only option left is to check whether your carrier has released an official 2.2 update. If that's the case you could update to that and still claim your warranty as it's an official rom. Every carrier should release an official Android 2.2 rom at some time so if it's not released by your carrier yet it should be just a matter of time. Aside from that there are no other options to get your warranty back. But also I'm not sure if you can update from one Android 2.2 to another Android 2.2.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luudee:
OK, so why does 3.1 update fail on a rooted device ?

The only thing I did when rooting my device was to replace

the "su" program. If I revert that change, will the OTA update

work ?

Anybody has the original "su" and it's mode settings (ls -l) ?

Thanks,

rudi

PS: Actually, I guess we need the "su" from 3.0.1 ...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stachre:
But to get "su" on there in the first place, you likely had to flash your boot.img.

The update checks your system and boot.img to verify that it's stock before proceeding, as applying patches to modded files will likely have craptastic results.

What method are you using to update? What specific error message are you getting on the failure?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luudee:
Yeah, so if reverse the boot.img and "su" package, the original

update should work ?

I don't remember the error message, I got the OTA update, and

it basically failed. Has not shown up again ...

Thanks,

rudi

--Q
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luudee:
Yeah, that's what happened to me as well. It looks like it will install the update,

but than shows some message for a second and than shows the android with

the Explanation mark (Warning sign).

If you check, you will see that you are still using 3.0.1 ... (At least that was my case).

Follow the post i referenced above, it is easy, safes all your data and gives

you 3.1 and root.

Reflash the rom.

1) First wipe everything, factory reset, cache partition, format cache, dalvik cache.

2) Flash the ROM : http://www.mediafire.com/?7xwcdvyx8fw6cr0

3) If you are on baseband 52, flash the baseband patch http://www.multiupload.com/U020F08R3N

4) Then flash the hotfix http://www.mediafire.com/?2c27ssr123e7rrv

WB's rom is using baseband 54 and above, meanwhile K010 needs baseband 52. Here are the steps :-

1. Fresh install the stock rom with SEUS.

2. Root & install xrecovery using flashtool.

4. Flash the X10_52_ChangeBaseband.ftf using flashtool.

5. Reboot into recovery and wipe everything.

6. Install CM_6.1.3_[v006].zip.

7. Install CMFix_v6_v61.zip.

8. Install bb patch cm5bb49.zip.

9. Install 2.6.29.6 FX k010 froyo FXR busybox in xbin v06.zip (get it on the first page of WB's thread).

10. Reboot.
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
I may be wrong, but shouldn't you just install bb patch?

If you have a memory card reader, use it to save the baseband patch via pc and then just apply it via xrecovery.

I'm sure this would work, try before reflashing rom.

Remember to backup just in case anything horrible happens.

Edit: when it says "unknown baseband" use dev tools-bad behaviour-crash system server. nd wait got reboot.

WARNING: THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART

UPDATE: My goal was to create a version of BackTrack 5 for ARM that was easy to use and install. As of this time, that IS NOT the case! The versions posted here are **probably not** going to work straight out of the box. If you know what you are doing in a Linux environment, you'll probably be able to get it working.

Because of this, the project is currently completely unsupported. You are free to dive in, but you are doing so with no support for me, and I'm not liable for any damage that might be done to your device's ROM.

I encourage you to pass this up unless you know what you are getting yourself into!

If you were referred here from the XDA-Developers.com article...

Hi there! Let's get one thing on the record here... this is *not* a native client! This is the chroot + VNC method that we'd been using to get Ubuntu running with Android for a while. The article makes it sound like that's the case, but sadly it's not. However, with the chroot + VNC method we can really run BackTrack 5 on an Android device, and it really does work. This takes some technical skills, and isn't for the non-Linux experienced user.

Requires a rooted device!

BackTrack 5 installation guides are making their way around this forum. I've tried to synthesize it all, but I've also added my own touches to help with usability and features, along with a workaround for the "ioctl LOOP_SET_FD failed" error message some people have been getting.

In theory this build is nearly universal, so if you have an Android device it should work. I've put it all in one zip file that you can download directly from my website, no hassles or wait timers.

If you are interested have a look, feel free to re-post. Credit goes to the BackTrack team and xda member anantshri (he's got skills, give him props guys), who built the base image file.
