Hi,

I start this thread for all mac user.

Purpose it's to list existing tools for our OS to root, flash, deodex, deblur and so on Defy phone.

Some shell scripts may be used by linux users.

Multi functions tools

1) MWB_Deodexer shell scripts (compatible macos and linux) I've been writing.

At beginning I wrote scripts to deodex rom, and step by step I added more functions.

Some bug could be present and I'm not a professional dev !!! so be indulgent with me.

Item 11. and 12. are still in developpment.

How to use it ?

1. Extract zip file on your computer (ie on Desktop)

2. Go to MWB_Deodexer directory (ie 'cd ~/Desktop/MWB_Deodexer').

3. If it's first time you install MWB_Deodexer, then type 'sh install.sh' (don't take care if you have some warning message)

4. Next type './menu' or 'sh menu' to launch main menu

2) QtADB is window app based on adb.it lets you to copy,remove etc your files and apps from PC and Android Phone

This app is under developing so be tolerant for any bug...

2) Use RSD Lite 4.9, but it's an win32 exe !!! Fortunaly virtualization is here

I sucessfuly launched Windows on my Mac with Virtualbox and flash rom with RSD Lite.

How to depack/repack an SBF rom

To depack we can use sbf_flash:

sbf_flash -x <rom_name.sbf> (thanks to dedraks)

To repack I don't know tools to do that. Maybe sbf_flash could help.

Purpose it's to create Fixed SBF.

As previous §, we can use win32 depacker into Virtualbox as sbfrecalc (split and repack sbf file) or motoandroidDepacker! (thanks iaio72)

Hi all,

I have had 2.1.1 running for a couple of weeks now and it's working great, super speedy internet connection. My only issue is when I use the 3G option on sipdroid it sounds horrible. I can't make out a word the person is saying, anyone else having this issue? Any fixes out there?

I know the original radio had this problem, but I thought the Australian radio fixed it, now we're back to it not working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazylilazn:
So I've never had problems backing up my Nexus one in the past using clockwork mod, but the past day, I've been trying to back it up so that I can try out Rodriguezstyle's new MIUI mod, but the backup keeps getting stuck on "Backing up sd-ext"

In particular, it says its getting stuck on "apparently this looks like a link?"

look down vertically for the thing I'm getting stuck on.

However, when I've pulled out my battery and reset into the recovery, I've found that the backup I was trying to make has actually been logged. I've been too scared to actually try to restore that backup to see if it's worked, because honestly I don't have any other recent backup and I don't want to mess anything up.

Any help would be appreciated! I might try to flash another recovery and backup that way...

I'm running RodriguezStyle's 2.9.2 MIUI ROM along with wildmonk's kernel and the most recent version of ClockworkMod Recovery if anybody's asking.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpdurst:
This is more of a general suggestion to those making the TB GB roms and adding the kernel to them or thinking about it..

Since it would appear reading through the posts and trying out the kernel for myself, I have found that the current GB kernel just gives my phone fits and it appears that other's have the same issue. I know it works for some, wish mine did. But can we get or keep the GB Roms separate from the kernel for a bit?

My phone runs GB fine without the kernel, and it sounds like it runs fine for others as well, since the kernel appears to add issues, it makes it hard to try out Roms that have the kernel included.

Its just a suggestion and at least at some point down the road I (or we) could try the kernel(s) as it matures more. And for those that the kernel works on, they can use it..

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjones1052:
If your talking about random reboots just let it throw a few, every time I change a GB kernel I get a few, then after that it's totally fine.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpfstc:
Me too. Mine usually reboots a few times right after I install and then just works.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgtguthrie:
I don't quite get what you're saying. Every rom has a kernel. It's basically what allows the software to communicate with the hardware. You can't take the kernel out of a rom or you don't have a complete functional operating system.

You need to remember that the leak was a test version, kind of like a cyanogenmod nightly. So things are going to be broken. They will fix them over time, especially as new leaks emerge.

In the meantime, if you are having problems, just go back to froyo for now. It's fast and fully functional. Gingerbread will be unleashed with ALL of it's greatness soon enough. Then we'll be anxiously awaiting ice cream sandwich :-)

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twistedumbrella:
He means including the modified kernel in the ROMs, and rather having users flash the modified version optionally. I think it is a valid point, and the kernel is something that is unrelated to the official release of Gingerbread. New kernels will come and the current ones are being worked on. What you may want to try is going into console and using speedtweak.sh to up the voltage if you are having reboot problems.

I know it gets hard to answer every question with a meaningless philosophical argument invalidating the question itself, but then again the forum has a minimum post count. ;)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpdurst:
Exactly, I have no problem running the default kernel that comes with GB Gingerjane 1.2 Rom as their is another kernel to possibly fix camera issues and they are separate downloads. Once I load that kernel I start having all kinds of problems, I restore my backup and all is good. I have seen some posts that others run into a similar issue. I thought it would just be good to keep them separate right now if possible. Its possible that some of the other GB Roms would work too, but I have the same issue with those and they include the new kernel as well for camera fix. So I have assume (I know bad word) that the common issue with mine and possibly others just could be that kernel for whatever reason.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgtguthrie:
"Meaningless philosophical argument"? I really don't see where you get that from, but whatever...

Also, a low post count doesn't mean you're a noob, just not as active at xda. This isn't the only forum site on the Internet.

I just saw something on twitter, jcase was posting the stock gb kernel in his thread, so there you go...

[LG Optimus 2x] unfnknblvbl:
Voodoo Sound was a specially-written driver for the incredible audio processor that the sgs used (but Samsung underutilised).

I don't think the OP2X has a similar quality chip, so a software solution would be less than ideal... But I'm happy to be proven wrong!
[LG Optimus 2x] Spybreak:
The O2X is actually using the same Wolfson audio chip as the SGS, so porting Voodoo should be possible.
[LG Optimus 2x] emprize:
isnt it O2x and sgs use the same audio chips?

this is what i thought from the start
[LG Optimus 2x] unfnknblvbl:

[LG Optimus 2x] Smoky:
But SuperCurio doesn't support O2X despite all requests :(
[LG Optimus 2x] masi0:
Could he share its code with our devs?
[LG Optimus 2x] MWBehr:
Supercurio didn't ignore the requests. He found after investigation that it wouldn't be possible. He went into detail, but it's a bit over my head. The basic idea is that the edits he's done for the Galaxy S line were all housed in the kernel. For our phones, apparently, the edits would need to be done in a driver or module that we have no source code for.

He tweeted about it, maybe a month or less after the G2x was released if you want to go find it ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] svceon:
He already has spoken about this topic, LG's source code doesn't include sound code... this means that there could not be any easy modification. Porting is possible, but he needs the source code.
[LG Optimus 2x] treborism:
Hope the source code can be delivered to SuperCurio..........i really love the voodoo sound in my SGS, and hardly required it in my Optimus 2x

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanGeorges:
Applanet is a pirated software download site. This means that if you do not want to pay the meager $1 or $2 for an application, you can downloaded it from that site (if the app is present on the Applanet servers).

Downloading from the Applanet site is ethically and (probably) legally wrong.

Do the right thing and either pay for the application or obtain a free alternative.

[Verizon Droid Charge] mejdam:
Wifitether only sets up ad-hoc unless the kernel was modified such in some builds i found of EVO and Droid Incredible. If you want infrastructure mode instead of ad-hoc you need to use the built in wifithether
[Verizon Droid Charge] spigget:
Oh man, if you could get the built in one to work forever and have a few extra options, like channel, authentication, etc, that would be awesome. I realize the other wifi tether kinda works, but the stock one seems to be really stable.

You cant use WifiTether app on your Wii. Many devices such as Ps3, zune, wii and even all android devices are unable to see ad hoc connections which are the kind of networks that app creates. If you were to use the built in Mobile hotspot app you wouldnt have any problems locating the signal.

I just rooted my phone using ODIN to downgrade to ED1. Once that was all said and done and I rebooted, the phone, I put it in airplane mode, and connected to my wireless network via WiFi. Then I went into the market, and searched for Wireless Tether for Root. I downloaded that, along with SuperUser Permissions. Once you have both of those downloaded, Wireless Tether worked just fine for me.

NOTE: At first, I forgot to download SuperUser, and when I tried to use Wireless Tether, it would fail and pop-up with a message asking if my phone was rooted. Then I remembered I needed SuperUser. Problem fixed!

[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
Confirmed, WTF would cause that?
[Verizon Droid Charge] byrnsey88:
Well either samsung or verizon put in the phone to have the app to stop working once June hit. Well the charge got delayed so they extended the date but it was still hard coded into the charge to stop on June 1st. I was wondering a long time ago how would they start charging for it. It is not like they can take the app off of our phones.
[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
I'm not sure that's the full story. Causing it to close like that would make no sense, all it does is piss people off. They would just have it prompt you saying that the free tethering period is over and you now have to pay. Force close would prevent anyone from using it period.
[Verizon Droid Charge] byrnsey88:
If someone could come up with an app that when apps ask for the time from the system then you could have something interfere and put in the time you wanted it to think it was. The mobile hot spot app doesn't send out any data because I used Droid Wall and nothing showed in the log.
[Verizon Droid Charge] byrnsey88:
I turned on the mobile hotspot with the date set to May and it was running along fine. So I decided to change the date back to June and as soon as I did it the hotspot app just closed and disappeared from the notification bar.
[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
I'm not disputing that. I'm just saying that I don't think the app force closing was the intent of Samsung and VZW as it wouldn't make any sense. It's a moot argument any though since the bottom line is it doesn't work. ;-)
[Verizon Droid Charge] byrnsey88:
Yeah gotcha there. Yeah I am pretty certain that was not there plan either. Well lets hope this helps them get their act together. Why would I pay for something when it doesn't even work when it is free?

[Verizon Droid Charge] craigg1:
I can confirm that the date change enables the Mobile Hotspot. I'm just speculating but if we don't accept the update from VZW on June 9 it's possible that we can have permanent free Mobile Hotspot. For the amount of times that I use it, it only takes two seconds to change the date :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] rjcormier:
If we take the update we lose riot right? the trick with elixir hotspot widget works great, bypasses the date issue, but I'm sure verizon will start charging on the 15th or no because we are rooted?
