[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
I went ahead and exchanged my Nexus S and so far I believe I have a perfect one...knock on wood...lol

I had the previous one rooted and using a custom recovery img. I relocked it but made the recovery permanent. This replacement...I rooted it but am leaving the stock recovery img in place. I even relocked it after rooting it. The only difference between this one and a stock phone is this one is rooted.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonzthegreat:
Hey! well I have a rooted X10 and a Nexus one and will be getting my Xperia Arc later! :)

I want to transfer all my locally stored contacts and sms from my nexus one to my new arc, I want to keep both phones as stock as possible, and hoping their are free solutions.

thank you in advance for the help! :p
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveybaby:
Contacts should be pretty simple, make all contacts google contacts, then sync on the old phone, sync on the new phone, and you should have all your contacts.

Or: the arc has options to backup/restore contacts to SD card. Dunno if the nexus one has this option or not, but if it does then that seems like a simple way to do.

For SMSs i've been using MyBackup Pro for ages now, it does contacts, SMSs, bookmarks, calendar and loads more. It costs a few quid, (it's worth it IMO) but there's also a time limited (30 days) free version which is good enough if you only want to transfer over this once.

Alternatively there's loads of free apps out there that do SMS backup/restore (just search the market). Havent used any but this one gets good reviews.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfairchi:
Is there anyway to make an App think I am on Wifi when I am really on 4G? The best broadband I can get at home is Satellite which is sucky slow and has daily download caps. However I work in a 4G area and have unlimited download plan. It drives me insane :mad: when an app (Plant vs. Zombies for example) requires me to be on Wifi to download. I am rooted, so was hoping someone would have some way to trick the app.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
--solution 1--

decompile the app

mod the source

recompile

Basically just need to look for the constants it uses to set the size limit it requires wifi.

--solution 2--

reroute wlan to eth (wireless to your network connection) using iptables (if you are rooted and on a netfiltered enabled kernel [most are that are not stock kernels])

http://www.google.com/search?client...m+eth0+wlan0&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Doing that most likely means some work unless you want to forward all of your wifi connections and then disable the rule after. Otherwise you would have to find what IPs it's download from and just forward only those. Shouldn't be overly hard to do if you know how to use iptables and things like netstat. Also involves using the linux terminal shell on the phone. It's a solution easier to do if you are in front of the phone than explaining online though.

--solution 3--

Plug your phone into your router (if it is usb enable and pass the connection through to your router and then use the wifi to get it). It's possible to do that, though you may need custom firmware on the router like ddwrt, tomatousb or openwrt. It may also not work since the phone might not like having wifi active at the same time it's sharing the internet connection with the router and then basically doing a full circle back to the phone via wifi.

--solution 4--

get a faster wifi connection

--solution 5--

Do something else while it downloads, because it'll take less time than the above solutions. I mean unless you're on dialup, you're saving like what? 5-10 minutes?

Probably not what you wanted to hear though, but those are the solutions. There doesn't exist any magical app that I know of that you can get from the market to do that.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
Another solution,

Sit at McDonalds, hook up to free wifi. Enjoy a Big Mac and Fries while downloading.

Finish your download, finish your meal, be on your merry way.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fireminion:
The app you are talking about is Amazon Appstore and I was wondering the same thing and was about to make a topic about it, I believe all someone would have to do is change the value allowed in the app (Which seems easy I know they changed the limit recently), I will try to see if I can but it would be the first thing I've done on android.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
It is easy, assuming this works. I decompiled it and one of the xml files (arrays.xml) has the values for uploading. Assuming they dont cross check those in the source, you can just add them there. If they do, then have to mod one of the settings files in the smali folder by messing with the byte code.

<!-- mod to something like this -->
<string-array name="connection_wifi_array">
<item>1 MB</item>
<item>5 MB</item>
<item>10 MB</item>
<item>20 MB</item>
<item>200 MB</item>
<item>500 MB</item>
<item>950 MB</item>
</string-array>

UPDATE: modding and recompiling this and reinstalling seems to throw some exception errors and force close the app. Logcat dump of the errors http://pastebin.com/5B6Eqv1c

Recompiling might have messed up something in the files, only thing I can think of why it force closes when trying to run it (after installing).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MidnightHarvester:
Wow this is an old thread but might as well not start a new one for the same question. Unused to use Matt's Privacy Blocker app and that worked well fornapoofing until the app stopped getting updates and won't run. So, let's use MC5 as an example. I decompiled just the source and went through each file changing every connectivity request with 0x1 which is the constant in that case for wifi. Recompiled without error and no go.

What else am I missing here? This would be much easier if Google didn't have that tool that developers can use to obfuscate their code with. Yeah a class named "1" makes lots of sense..lol. I need to figure this out so I can ditch the fake WiFixposed module. That and rootcloak are the only ones holding me back from ditching Xposed completely

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbhartia:
Hello Every1,

Is there a possibility to boot the Android Roms directly from ext2/3/4 partition of the SD Card ? I mean the complete rom. That way people with Class 10 SD Cards should have faster boot (And it will be very easy to change roms)

What I basically mean is that the phone mounts SD card as the system partition the first place i.e. the original Nand partition get hidden and the system "thinks" it is booting from Nand.

Or we could have 'n' number of SD Card partitions/or directories and we can select which partition the bootloader boots. That way we can have multiple roms

for test purposes.

I Have read about dual boot:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804018

But this is not what I mean. I mean native support for boot before the Android starts to eliminate the compatibility issues, since once after the boot, the android will only be able to see 'itself' on sd card partition and not the other directories outside its own.

Eg:

EXT 2 Partition has AD1 & AD2 as 2 Androids

--

AD1

-> System

-> Data

-> (other files/Dir if Any)

AD2

-> System

-> Data

-> (other files/Dir if Any)

The loader will display Choice ->

AD1

AD2

Once choice is made, for eg AD1, then AD1 boots and the dir listing will not show anything from AD2.

Something like sym linking the system partition to the Sd card system partition.

Maybe sym linking the /mount/mtd/block..... for system patition to the Android Directory --> /system ?

Any Ideas if the above is possible ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slatter39:
hello----------------------------
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
I don't think this would be faster than NAND, even with a class 10.

As far as I know, nobody's working on this. I don't think there's really much demand for it. The phone may be less stable, may be slower, and it'll wear out your SD card faster.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj666jp:
Hi,

I currently have a low bandwith until next week, and I have no way to use a computer or a wireless internet connection.

I have the 'Vodaphone network random reboot' problem.

I didn't found a solution yet, could one of you point me to a thread on xda or another place where i can follow the lastest information about this?

I'm using Oxygen 2.1.3, if I revert to 2.1.2 , will it solve my problem?

If yes, can you provide me a link to the 2.1.2 version?

Maybe a simple search could answer my questions, but it's a pain in the *ss to search for a solution with my current bandwith.

Thx.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danny_zupa:
Hello everyone, I am very new in Android world, so I want to ask a few.

I have my HTC Magic (vodafone edition with 192ram, 96 usable) running on Android 2.2.1. I bought it like this. I think it is 32B.

In settings it says: Model number T-mobile myTouch 3g

Android version 2.2.1

Kernel version 2.6.35.10

The problem is that it runs very slow. I downloaded Angry Birds it runs in slow frames or sometimes it crashes. I dowloaded Zuma, it enters the menu, but when i hot play, it crashes, it is normal?

Can you give me a solution? Thank you
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danny_zupa:
Can anyone help me with an advice?

I heard there is a new video driver for magic? ECLAIR htc magic Driver

where can I find it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danny_zupa:
Why the community isn't helping the new users? I cant post in other sections because "New members (those with fewer than 10 posts) are not permitted to post to development-related forums."

I want to install this ROM on my htc magic: [6/7/10][UPDATE][ROM]CaNNoN202 Complete Eclair (v2.2.1).

is it good?

when I rebbot my phone in bootloader mode, this is what appears on the screen:

sapphire unknown 32b eng s-off h

hboot-1.33.2005 (sapp10000)

cpld-10

radio-2.22.19.261
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dark0:
There are certainly advantages to rooting your phone and using custom roms, although if you are looking for a solution to running angry birds smooth, no custom rom or setting will help. Mytouch is underpowered for it, it'll lag nomatter what.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danny_zupa:
thanks for your reply.

I want to load Complete Eclair (v2.2.1) because I heard that it has better 3D drivers, and some games will work.

But my problem is that I cant enter in recovery mode, no matter what. I used 3 methods but none works.

I cant load it from my sd card using fastboot and command promt.. it says that it cant load the image file. My device is seen.

I cant do it with flashrec nor rom manager from market. Any help?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tvall:
Are you rooted?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danny_zupa:
I think yes, I used SuperOneClickv1.9.1, that says your device is rooted.

In fastboot method for recovery I get this:

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot devices

HT9B3KF03324 fastboot

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img

error: cannot load 'recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img' ( I copied it on the sd card)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tvall:
So the recovery is on the sdcard.. You need it to be where fastboot can get to it. You are trying to flash it from the folder you have fastboot in. so put it there
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danny_zupa:
thank you. it worked. and now I put the new Eclair v2.2.1.. I really need to format the sd card?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danny_zupa:
Anyway, I've put Eclair 2.2.1 on my Magic. On what I'm seeing, wifi is slower, or something.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tvall:
Why would you have to format?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] danny_zupa:
I've done a format after all.

One more question: is this version compatible with my spl and radio?

hboot-1.33.2005 (sapp10000)

radio-2.22.19.261

If it is or not, how would I know?

If I want to put the original rom on my Magic (Android 2.2 Froyo), where would I find it?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] xdmds:
remember that you will never get the full RAM amount because the system/OS still needs to run the necessary files. For example, win7 needs at least 2 gb of RAM requirement, but the OS itself hogs almost 1 GB of that RAM.

[LG Optimus 2x] Rezvonflux:
Hey everyone, sorry if this is a "hijack", i'll try to stay within the borders...

OK, just to start off these are my stats:

Android Version 2.3.7

Mod Version CyanogenMod-7-10132011-Nightly

Build GWK74

Baseband: 1035.21_20110720

My question is, i've seen mentioned to go look in the /system/media for the bootanimation.zip. When i peek in that directory i see a bootanimation.bak

I can't seem to find a .zip.

I'm still new at all this, so be gentle :P
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
.bak is just a backup file from something ...

use root explorer for example to display system directories correctly ...

if you still need cyanogen bootanimation.zip , here it is
[LG Optimus 2x] Rezvonflux:
I've been using ES File Explorer, but i'll try root explorer.

Thanks, be back with details...
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
screenie :
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
There won't be any differences between the files displayed with root explorer... ES file explorer is really very good.

If you have a boot animation during start of the phone there must be a zip file somewhere..

I've read that an alternative place for the zip file was somewhere in data, data/local I think? This is to enable non root phone to be customized.. There's a thread about this in this section.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rezvonflux:
OK, so it's good to know i wasn't missing anything eith ES. Even tho, i still cannot seem to find a bootanimation.zip anywhere :confused:

So far i've looked in:

/system/media/ only had a bootanimation.bak

...i've tried all others mention, and nada.

But i do have a bootanimation.zip there somewhere... and have been able to change it using BAC LITE. Could it be that maybe Rom Toolbox (having the option to diable boot animations) placed it somewhere else?

But just as a catch up, when i boot (with the option all boot animation disabled in RT) i get the plain white LG logo, then switches to a fancier coloured LG logo (and then a skateboarding Android or simple "Android" if enabled in RT).

Again, thanks got the helps guys...

You have to sign in, then amazon will text or email you a link to DL the app store to your phone/tablet. Once you have done that, fire up the app store app and it will be the free app of the day. You can get a free paid app every day and though it will DL initially to your phone, you can delete it and it will stay in your amazon account if you ever want to reinstall it later.
