[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markkal123:
thanks, i already saw your link. doesn't really address my questions though. and yeah i do google questions prior to posting.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
I was in a hurry when I posted the link and that was the best I could do at the time.

apk is more like a java jar file (in fact you can sign your apk with jarsigner in java) or self extracting zip. Don't quote me on it, but you need both the files in /data/app and /data/data to run the application. Some gets left inside the container, and files that get modified a lot are extracted to /data/data (along with data that personalizes the app for you, such as settings and profiles).

The xml manifest file in the apk tells it what permissions to ask for and what systems it can run on and such. If you get this http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/ you can reverse the apk so you can make sense of the files inside of it.

Titanium backup takes both the app and the data and stores them on the sdcard (unless you only tell it to backup the app, then it only takes from /data/app). The files located under /data/app are the entire application itself though and that will run if you give it to someone else as if you downloaded it from the market.

Hi All!

I have been playing with the Android SDK and AVD for a while now, and some questions have arisen.

look at the attached picture and see if you see anything wrong with the current setup.

I developed this based on the Kaiser's actual limitations and wanted to keep it as small as possible.

Devs feel free to bash me or comment freely...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbasse:
I have two batteries for my Captivate If I let one of them run down, then switch it out for the other that isn't fully charged (its somewhere around 60% or so), do I risk having battery calibration issues?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
yes. you risk battery calibration issues even if the other battery was fully charged. not all batteries are created equal. both batteries could say they are full but still be off by a couple percentage points.

that being said the issues shouldnt be too severe perhaps slightly more drain...but who cares you have 2 batteries so you'd still come out ahead :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moore808:
I don't believe your battery calibration would be that off swapping between two same size batteries. I could see there being issues if you go from an extended battery, to a regular one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
I have five batteries and swap between them all the time. (I bought them while running CM7 :) ) I always shut-down, and then swap in a fully charged one. I have never noticed an issue.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jimcpl:
I'd had Sipdroid+google voice working thru (formerly) pbxes.org, but started seeing 'failed connection' or 'failed registration' (404) msgs when I started my Gtab. Almost gave up until I realized that pbxes changed to 'pbxes.com'. So I changed that in the Sipdroid settings, and voila, it's working again.

Just an FYI...

I did see it some where in the dev section but i couldn't find it when i search it

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepa:
Project V is my choice
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
+1 for project v
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Project V or Zendroid Zendroid is 1/2 the size of all the other roms so if you are looking for slimmed down then that one is it.. But either V or Zen are your best choices
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosmann22:
+1 for Zendroid
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Ha, so much agreement here.

Trigger, Zen, Project-V. All are great, all are different.

I really love Trigger for stability.

I LOVED the look/feel of Zen

P-V has a ton of options I love (notification bar, sgs2 lock, etc)

I'd probably go with Zen or Trigger from what you said.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosmann22:
Trigger is also a very good ROM. I used it before with overstock and I got good battery life out of it and it ran really smoothly.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medoo313:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
Sorry to revive an ancient thread. I did a port of this ROM to the myTouch 4G and seeing as we're all similar (Glacier, Desire HD and Z), I could probably port it for you guys. I don't have the device but if any of you are willing to download 400 megabytes, wipe, test, fail/succeed, send logcats and all that fun, we could make it happen.

Hey guys, not entirely Vibrant related, but due to the overwhelming support you guys showed with bringing down Skriller, I thought you may all enjoy listening to this radio show I did tonight.

http://goo.gl/kDfSD

Synopsis:

Use legit markets

Support your developers/community

Pay notice to app permissions

Skriller $ucks

Pay for paid apps
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
So what happen to skiller?
[Vibrant General] Vibrantnew-b:
Guy should be hung from his nut sack.
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
I'm not asking what should happen, im saying what happen to him. The op saying "bringing him down" so "we" succeed in bringing him down. But what happened?
[Vibrant General] kawika:
I think we succeeded in giving him a headache and alot of negative press. They say that ANY attention is better than none at all tho. I know the site was down for like a day or so but it was up and running not shortly after and is currently. Here ya go:):http://lmgtfy.com/?q=akaskriller
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Skrillers site it up... BUT, I believe we were able to get all the paid apps off the site (which I am sure was a big draw for some to his site) and I believe a lot of the developers ROMs have been removed. I imagine the stuff up there now is his kanging.

Still illegal to have it behind a $5 donate wall.. still not crediting our developers... but the community is a lot better off now than it was a month ago.
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
Not trying to defend him but access to the site costs $5 not the roms or cracked apps. The apps are not on his site, their just links. So technically its not illegal.

What you guys did was helpful somewhat. You made people aware of his action but bought attention to him. Good or bad, doesn't matter.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
You are incorrect. You can't put Android behind a $5 donate wall, which it is. He DID have paid apps on his site, because of us, he no longer does. Maybe the guy who made the app will actually get paid now. There is a thought.

I installed the radio 5.08.00.04 (using the same file I had used previously).

Now it will not power ON. I tried 3 batteries. Nothing happens when I plug it to the wall either.

Any ideas?

thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsnipuhx:
Most likely a brick. Sorry bro.

Did you verify that the Md5's matched?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2000a:
MD5 matched. I used this same file to install before.

was this caused because I had previously installed the same radio?

It installed as usual, then i pressed something for it to reboot (prompt) but it powered off.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Why would you flash the same radio you had before? What file did you use, link to source, and how did you flash it? As a rule of thumb you should never flash the radio via recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2000a:
my device was rebooting in a loop and once, i was able to stop it by turning off data. i thought that maybe it could be the radio.

i used the file from >>> cyanogen wiki android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/passion/radios/passion.5.08.00.04.zip

like i said, i had that file in the SD card and i re-installed it today, but i had already installed it before.

now the nexus doesn't power on. i tried all the buttons (vol- + power, wheel + power)... nothing on the screen. completely black. i took out the battery for 30 minutes, and nothing.

after installing the radio, it powered off (there was an image of a box with an arrow towards the android)...

wasn't planning on buying another phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don_Mayor:
its possible your power button is damage.

Plug your N1 via usb to a pc, the charge light will come on, remove the battery. once the light goes off, quickly put the battery back in the phone. this should reboot your phone.

If your phone reboots, it means your power button is flawed, its common with N1. Take the battery out and do it again, this time hold the trackball. this will boot your phone into fastboot mode.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2000a:
I tried connecting to the power adapter, but no light. the button was fine, and the device shut off at the end of flashing the radio. i think that it's supposed to reboot, or prompt.

the phone is dead.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
So you flashed it in recovery... Time to work on that JTAG.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2000a:
yah, flashed in recovery, not fastboot.

Jtag? Any links?

thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1404:
Weird I might say? I flashed mine in recovery and it was fine. And JTAG is a year old method manually tricking the device to boot up being bricked. Google it. Like I said, its really old. Good luck.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] findmike:
Hi there, just looking for a little help. I'm pretty new to Android and all my other devices have been rooted pretty quickly after I got them. I thought I would take the Transformer for a spin unRooted and have been liking it but now I realize that I can't back anything up using my traditional method of Titanium Backup until I have root access. Adding to the problem, I'm currently on 3.1 which means (as far as I know) I'll need to backtrack to 3.01 to get root access and I'm not at all confident that my applications will survive the downgrade, root, upgrade journey I'm about to take them on. So I guess two questions really:

Anyone know of a backup program that doesn't need root? I went mad playing Plants vs. Zombies and really don't want to have to clear everything again if I can avoid it.

If not, does anyone know if the applications will be able to make it intact through the downgrade, root and upgrade? I realize if I don't wipe some of the system stuff from 3.1 will cause problems while rooting in 3.01 but I think that's all mostly ADB so as long as it boots I should be all right and then back to normal once I reapply the update.

Any advice would be appreciated. Worst case I'll just loose a few game saves but would be nice to avoid if I can.

Thanks!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ender666666:
I went from stock .13 to leaked-but-stock 3.1, then decided to root.

I downgraded to .9, and had to deal with lots of glitching and FC's, but it didn't prevent me from rooting, and then moving to Primordeal 3.1.

I DIDN'T LOSE ANY OF MY APPS, SETTINGS OR PROGRESS...

BUT

During the process, I did end up formatting my external SD card, so make sure you use a spare during the rooting process. All contents on the internal memory came through intact.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] findmike:
That's perfect! Thanks for the info. I figured someone would have to have been in about the same boat as me so good to hear I might be spared clearing all those levels again!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] reisa:
be careful..

I had a similar experience during root -- but I -DID- lose all apps and data. I also went from the leaked but stock 3.1 -- got the FCs during the downgrade, but eventually had to do a system wipe to actually get the downgrade to stick. Astro will let you make a backup of the APKs, but I don't think it retains any data.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] findmike:
Just a quick follow up in case anyone else decides to venture down this road. Finished the downgrade, root upgrade and all went well and still have all my data. Mostly just followed the guide at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106587

Got up and running in just about a half hour or so, not too painful. As long as you have ADB access and download all the files before you start it should go much quicker than that. Since I just took the 3.01 system up to Primordial 3.1 I was able to just ignore the constant FC's in the downgraded OS and move right back to 3.1 where nothing FC'd anymore.

Anyway, if anyone else gets stuck with an unrooted TF it's not at all hopeless. If you follow the guide above and use a blank SD card to start the process I suspect nothing important will get deleted but of course YMMV.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ender666666:
No problem, glad I could help.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Schroder08:
I'm curious about this, but for a slightly different reason. I'm thinking of either returning my 16gb to Frys and buying a 32gb, or at least exchanging for one with a bit less bleed and more balanced speakers. It seems a long way going about it to root, titanium, then unroot, and while I'm ok with a little extra work, if there's a more direct method that'd be preferable. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Being rooted (or not) should have nothing to do with whether or not you get the update. The update removes root anyway, so that doesn't matter.
