[T-Mobile LG G2x] Sistum Id:
Screens are tricky because they have a seal to keep out dust. If its not done right you may end up with dust particles later and it will drive you mad. You also need a clean/dust free room because dust will get in when your're sealing up the screen. It may look dust free but there is dust all around. I'm not sure how it is for our G2x, but that's how it was with my HTC G1.

I had a Nexus One on launch and few months down the road, I noticed dust in the corner. I ended up getting 2 more replacements due to dust under the screen. Probably crappy QA. When replacing my girlfriends G1 damaged digitizer, I tore the LCD flex PCB ribbon. There are a few layers of flex PCB and it has to be plugged one layer at a time. It was madness!!!

I would suggest getting the replacement from T-Mobile just so you have peace of mind.

Don't feel bad about breaking your phone. Last Monday (Memorial Day) I jumped in the pool with my one week old G2x. I didn't realize until 20 minutes later. I have insurance so I had a new one by Wednesday. Funny thing is, It still works, but the screen was waterlogged and screwy. Because of the issues I had with my G1's, I just paid the $130 to have it replaced.

HI there

i recently restored my phone after flashing a different rom. everything went well and i restored almost everything using titanium backup. i clicked for "install missing apps and data" but unfortunately i could not restore my phone contacts. my contacts are also not synced with gmail. please help?:(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Did you click on the button in the top middle to bring up the list of programs, and restore contacts then reboot?(assuming you backed it up of course). Cause all it sounds like you did was that batch restore of MISSING apps. The contacts.apk was included so it didn't get restored.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyydynasty:
i'm curious about this too. I dont need to restore my contacts but I've installed custom roms for a few friends who didnt have their contacts sync'd with gmail and after restoring what I thought was the contacts, it didnt actually restore.

so I've had this problem before, too. I'm curious to hear from someone who successfully restored phone contacts from TiBu.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bravomail:
Always sync your contacts with Google

I never used TiBu for contacts or calendar entries.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyydynasty:
this is what I tell my friends before I install a custom rom lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graveheart_82:
Not sure if this thread is dead or not but I just flashed my brother's phone and used TiBu to restore missing apps + data. For contacts I tried restoring [Contacts/Calls] Storage 2.2, rebooted and still nothing. I dont know what else can I do now. Is there any way I can pull the information out manually from TiBu backup files? I opened com.android.providers.contacts-20110625-144656.tar.gz and noticed the raw data is in the files. Any ideas would be helpful....

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
Did he sync contacts with his Google account? If so sign into Gmail from the phone and sync. I use the Backup with Gmail from the market to backup calls and texts too. All of my call history, contacts, and texts are synching with my Gmail, works great.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZBigT:
Restart the phone after restoring apps and system data.

When it comes to backing up my contact list I'm Old School. I still do it the same way I did on my Palm OS device. Export to a vCard file (*.vcf). Since android still has that feature I occasionally make a backup of my contacts as a *.vcf and copy it to my SD card, PC or dropbox. However, after reading this post I gave it a try and successfully restored my contacts, txt messages, call logs etc with TiBu. After a restore (I was able to confirm that the 'Restore missing apps + all system data' batch restore will restore your contacts etc. However they don't show in your contact list after a restore. You can try to force close the Contacts and Contact storage from the 'Manage Applications' -> 'Running' screen, and when you restart your contacts after that they should appear. However tried and true method is the simplest.

=> Do a Re-boot.

I tried it successfully four times and doing a restart of the phone worked the best, smoothest and easiest. Then all my contacts were successfully restored.

I performed this on a I897 running FireFly 3.0.2.2 (Froyo based ROM) I used the latest version of TiBu 3.9.0.1 free version and made sure that busybox was updated to 1.18.4

If you're worried about TiBu not working, exporting your contacts to a *.vcf file does give you a nice file that you can then import natively into Android and most other mobile OS. (I've personally verified that *.vcf works on Pantech and Lg messaging phones, Palm OS, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, Thunderbird, Outlook)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sa1yan:
Yea, don't use TiBU to restore any system apps like contacts or messaging ESPECIALLY when changing roms/android os versions.

I would recommend backing up ur contacts to your google account. Also, see if u can find a .vcf file in your TiBU backup

Hi,

I'm running Gingervillain on my Desire. Today I moved every app possible to SD. De total MB of these apps is around 50MB, I only gained 2MB by moving these apps. Seems weird, I know apps take some space on internal memory anyway but this seems a little much.

Is there any way too fix this or at least see what's eating my memory? I have 17MB free now, while 1 only have 4 apps on internal(and 82 on SD).
[Desire General] dexter93:
Stop moving apps manually on SD! They are moving automatically from the a2sd+ script. Also please post the partition info you see in the first page of titanium backup

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
A2SD+ moves all apps you install automatically to the ext partition on your sd card. If you press "move to sd" in application settings, they were moved to the fat32 partition of the sd.
[Desire General] reaper7881:
Basically move all the apps to the phone then in terminal emulator write

Su

A2sd reinstall

Then it will reboot after movr all the apps to the ext partition
[Desire General] reemprive:
I've tried it, didn't work.

So, basically, when I install something no action is required with Gingervillian?
[Desire General] reemprive:
Oh, heres my TB first page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/55902608@N06/5799539108/
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
You can test if a2sd+ is working on this way:

1.) Download connectbot from market

2.) Start it, choose "local", type any nickname and enter

3.) Enter

and answer superuser request

4.) Now enter

Now you should see, the path for installation apps should have changed to /sd (like this: app -> /sd/app); if unsure, post screenshot.

If a2sd+ is working, you have to do no move actions.
[Desire General] dexter93:
If the problem persists then format sd card (both partitions), wipe all , reflash

[Desire General] reemprive:
Here is the screenshot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/55902608@N06/5799084381/

Is this what it's supposed to be?
[Desire General] dexter93:
Seems like its ok... But let someone else confirm it..

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Congrulations a2sd is working. To explain it: Standard path for apps the /data partition of your desire's internal memory. The symbol "->" means "was moved to".

So:

Standard partition + folder for apps: /data (internal memory) /app (folder in this internal partition)

was moved to (->)

/sd-ext (ext partition on sd card) /app (folder in this ext partiton)

It's the same with app-private (they belong together).

For you means this, all apps you install will be moved automatically to /sd-ext. You don't have to do anything.

I hope, this is understandable.
[Desire General] reemprive:
Thank you! TB restores will be on SD Ext too, I assume?
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Yes. Restoring apps is nothing else than installing an app, merely and simply with user data.
[Desire General] decat:
I did what's explained on mattman's site, installed the terminal emulator and gave in those two commands.

[Desire General] hairywombat1:
is app2sd just an app that moves apps to sd or does it do more?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
don't know if you mean the app2sd FEATURE of Froyo+ or the app2sd (app2sd+) script-things-in-custom-roms thing...
[Desire General] dexter93:
There is also an app in the market called app2sd, which allows you to quickly manage your apps/send to sd/clear cache and more. I used it as an app manager when I was in froyo, cause I found the android ones too laggy. It's a nice little tool

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] ufrat:
As GV uses Darktremor A2SD there is an app in the market called a2sdgui.

With this app you can activate app2d, cache2sd and a few other things.

ALL CREDITS GO TO ZDZIHU & FREEXPERIA TEAM FOR THEIR GREAT WORK IN KEEPING OUR DEVICES ALIVE AND ROCKING!!!!

I saw that many users were running into problems (bootlooped/stuck at SE text logo) by installing the latest xRecovery v1.0.0 the wrong way/wrong update.zip on different custom roms...

so here i will share some modified installers which i created for my own use but i guess it will help u guys too till ur favorite ROM dev implements it in his/her ROM...

[*] AS ZDZIHU IS CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE ISSUES IN xRecovery v1.0.0 and removed links in his thread... I advise you to kindly wait for some time before trying out this new Recovery [*]

the files provided here are for older recoveries (xrec v0.0.x & FreeXperia rec) only...

all the files are update.zip (amend syntax) flashable via recovery

[IMP]

installing these files MAY BREAK any special features provided by ur ROM dev (which were incorporated into the chargemon file)

[ Backup Current Recovery ]

just read this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14444631#post14444631

[ Installer for xRecovery v1.0.0 ]

2.1 ROMs

Please use the xRecovery-1.0.0-update.zip provided by zdzihu in the xRecovery thread

2.2 ROMs (who dont require custom kernel by default. e.g.: FreeX10)

Please use the FreeX10-beta4-hotfix2.zip provided by zdzihu in the FreeX10 thread

2.3 ROMs (who require custom kernel by default. e.g.: CM7)

THIS CAN BE USED ON CM7/other roms which use custom kernel as default booting option... I have myself tested it & currently using it on CM7.0.3 J021 K011..

xRecovery-1.0.0-rbt_kexec.zip

2.1/2.2/2.3 ROMs

This is for those ROMs who dont require custom kernel by default but have the option to select custom kernel on next bootup.... basically the ROMs which use FreeXperia Recovery but donot boot custom kernel by default... or users who are using freexperia recovery to test custom kernels can also use this file...

xRecovery-1.0.0-rbt_test_kexec.zip

[ Restore older Recovery ]

i am currently having a little trouble with edify syntax + update-binary combination... till then u guys can check the backup current recovery post [RECOMMENDED]

OR

[testing]

just connect the phone (when its booted into the android OS) to PC and use latest FlashTool to install xRecovery (it will actually install FreeXperia Recovery)..

P.S.:

once u flash this version of xRecovery (v1.0.0) u will no longer be able to flash Amend syntax update.zips (most of the update.zips available right now including some ROM install update.zips) till the time the devs switch to Edify syntax for their work...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
did you check the possibility of creating a backup of your chargemon and xrecovery.

and having a zip which can restore the chargemon and old xrecovery.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i had created these file a few days back...

btw creating such backup/restore file is easy (atleast in Amend syntax)...

the problem is with Edify syntax... i am still not able to get consistent results...

anyways will create a BACKUP_chargemon update.zip (amend syntax) asap...

EDIT:

backup current recovery files ready... checking them now...

download the 2.3 version which requires custom kernel as default... and check the file system/bin/chargemon with 2.2 rom (which requires custom kernel as default) /system/bin/chargemon file... as far as i know the main loading code should be the same...

if u still have doubts just post ur 2.2 rom (which requires custom kernel as default) /system/bin/chargemon content here... so i can tell u immediately...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Backup current chargemon/recovery

Backup current chargemon/recovery

hey guys as was suggested by anantshri i have made a backup chargemon/recovery update.zip...

just flash this file (via recovery) before u flash any files form post #1:

xRec_v1.0.0_BACKUP_current_rec.zip

Few things to keep in mind:

this script will only backup the following two files:

/system/bin/chargemon

/system/bin/xrecovery.tar (this is the recovery file used by xRecovery v0.0.x)

the backups will be stored as:

/system/bin/chargemon.xr.ori

/system/bin/xrecovery.tar.xr.ori

if ur current recovery is not in /system/bin/xrecovery.tar dont worry as the xRecovery v1.0.0 installers provided in post #1 will anyways not remove those files

currently i am working on a restore script but it might take a bit longer

till then u can manually restore your older recovery by doing the following:

boot into OS

start root explorer (or u can do the same via adb shell)

remount /system as rw

navigate to /system/bin/ folder

locate the files:

chargemon.xr.ori

xrecovery.tar.xr.ori (if this file is not there dont worry, u were using freexperia recovery so that is untouched)

once u have verified that the above files are present (meaning that backup of files was properly done) ONLY THEN locate and delete/remove the following files:

chargemon

xrecovery.tar

and finally rename:

chargemon.xr.ori to chargemon

xrecovery.tar.xr.ori to xrecovery.tar

if by chance there is a failure during flashing/something goes wrong in recovery please check the log file created by this backupscript:

/sdcard/xrecovery_v1.0.0_installer_log.txt

P.S.:

for those who want to learn/know wht is goin on while flashing the update.zip in this post just check the take_backup file in the update.zip provided

not on xRecovery v1.0.0 (until edify packages for those kernels are available)

alternatively u can get back to older recovery... flash which ever kernel u want... then flash xRecovery v1.0.0...

dual recovery is a good solution too, I have it thanks to Cobrato on his miui rom
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
how about keeping that as update.zip on sdcard and one click switch.

zip should just say

chargemon -> chagemon_1

chagemon_old -> chargemon

chargemon_1 -> chargemon_old

quick anddirty one click chargemon switcher.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ya i know Cobrato has dual recoveries on his rom...

the thing is that the chargemon he uses for it is non standard... so the functionality will break if the modded chargemon gets replaced...

wht i prefer is to use freexperia recovery (which already comes with CM7 and is located at /system/recovery/) and then install xRecovery v1.0.0 on top of it (this is installed at /system/bin/xrecovery.tar)... and just keep toggling chargmons... i know this is not idea solution... but currently there is no other alternative until all update.zip use edify syntax...
