[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
The only way I found to upgrade from Froyo to Gingerbread was to do a Titanium Backup of all the apps and individually restore. When I used MAGLDR to restore, apps going from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 or 2.3.4, some of the apps didn't translate to Gingerbread correctly I found. Some of them either wouldn't work or visually looked wrong. Also it would freeze the Gingerbread ROM for me on my phone as well. Going Titanium Backup may be tedious but it works. I went from Cmylxgo's Desire HD(2) ROM to currently Pongster's Hyperdroid CM7 v2.1.0 ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

The best way to proceed is to start from scratch.

As slbenz suggests,use Titanium Backup To save all your data.

Then

Download THIS TOOL

Flash radio...download HERE Enter bootloader:hold down volume button when you power on phone.When you are on tri-color screen,insert cable to usb.When screen changes from "serial"to "usb",proceed.

Open HD2 Installer:

Task 29 (Enter bootloader:as above)

HSPL 2.08 HSPL (Enter bootloader:as above)

MAGLDR (Enter bootloader:as above)

(when magldr has loaded,power on and enter by holding power button until you see magldr screen.)

(when this is done,Go to ad recovery>advanced>Partition SD Card.1024m with 0 cache)

Repartition according to ROM requirements.(via number 5 usb flasher)

Then go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).

Then go to install zip from sd card (which you should have placed on the root of your sd card)

reboot.

Give it time.Some ROMS take 15-20 minutes to install.

Hey thx for the reply, seems very detailed.

Will def try it out soon however it does seem longer than when I had to just install froyo and difficulty does seem to be heightened as well. Really need my phone this weekend so will wait til next week to try it out I guess ^^ Will report back with results or asking for more help lolz~

thx

Hi,

You want to change between very different systems.

It's worth starting from scratch to avoid problems at a later stage...

[Flipside General] thbassman:
I am a noob when it comes to droids(have been doing Blackberry and BB apps for quite a few years) and bought this moto backflip to strictly test on. I cant find any forums on the device and the threads that came up were no help. Please excuse me if this is posted in the wrong place.:eek:

I need to be able to load non-market apps on my Backflip. I havent rooted it yet as I was hoping to leave it with Factory OS intact if possible. I have already upgraded it to 2.1 Blur Version 3.0.1390 for the ATT device. I have also loaded the java JDK from oracle, it that helps.

Is this possible to side load apps like I have read??

Do I need to install software to my Laptop running Win 7??

Please help . .

[Flipside General] indymx:
Just a crazy thought, but maybe if you posted in the right forum, you may get an answer.

Flipside and Backflip are not the same phone.

haha flipside and backflip are pretty close tho
[Flipside General] JBallin4life27:
yup they're pretty much identical
[Flipside General] indymx:


I had both... They are close, but def not identical.

The locked bootloader on the flipside being the big diff. At least the backflip has some development, where the flipside has none.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lardman:
I've used CF-root to get root (as I couldn't get Gingerbreak to work), but I could really do with a vanilla zImage backup from Gingerbread.

I'm getting back on with Meego (and some Ubuntu eventually) dev and would like to see what's in the vanilla initramfs (which is compiled into the kernel).

So if anyone could either email me the backup or post a link that would be very useful.

Thanks in advance :)

Does anyone know which hdmi mirror application that works with dell streak (android 2.2). The built-in hdmi out in my dell only allows mpeg4 which is ONLY through the built-in video player and no other video player like vital player,rock player and the likes.:confused:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anney:

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colonel Panic:
Unfortunately no. It is because of how the streak (at least Streakdroid) handles HDMI. If you have a dock and an HDMI cable, open Cable Detection. Despite it being connected, it will not say an HDMI cable is connected. If we changed the kernel so that it would constantly poll for an HDMI cable, we might get somewhere...

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] BillyLH:
Bueno, Como eres de Chile y por el titulo asumo que hablas español :D...

Primero necesitas rootear, para eso utiliza Super One Clic, lo descomprimes en cualquier parte de tu pc.

Activas en el telefono la depuracion usb (configuracion/aplicaciones/desarrollo/depuracion USB) y por supuesto origenes desconocidos (configuracion/aplicaciones/origenes desconocidos)

Ejecutas SuperOneClick.exe presionas root y listo.

Ahora instala root explorer. ahi te adjunto el apk.

cuando lo abras si el rooteo salio bien te pedira permiso de superusuario y con SuperUser (que lo instala automaticamente el one clic) le das permiso.

Entra a system/bin montas como r/w y coloca los archivos del recovery (xrecovery.tar, chargemon, busybox) si no los tienes, aqui esta:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=515016&d=1297434832

Reinicias y cuando apareca "Sony Ericsson" presionas la tecla atrás varias veces. Si sale bien no mostrará el bootanimation, sino que entrara al recovery.

IMPORTANTE: Recuerda que al cambia la ROM puedes enladrillar tu telefono. Primero crea una copia de seguridad con xrecovery y luego si diviertete (yo lo he hecho 5 veces en el dia).

En caso de enladrillarlo totalmente, y no porder ni entrar al recovery, tienes la opcion de restaurarlo con SE PC Companion y comenzar de nuevo.

Éxitos... ;)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] :
I've been looking into getting a stylus? What are your thoughts? Do all of them have round blunt ends? this is the one I was looking at...

http://www.wacom.com/en/Products/BambooStylus.aspx
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] smaskell:
Yes, they all have round blunt ends. Some are better than others but there's really nothing you can do about it with a capacitive screen.

You are never going to get anywhere near the accuracy you would get with an active digitizer. Also, you'll never have any sort of pressure sensitivity.

so personally, I don't think it's worth it but I'm probably not the best person to give you advice. I am user of windows tablets with active digitizers(wacom and n-trig) so I will never have any respect for capacitive styli. then again, they're pretty cheap and they do work to some extent so I guess you can't really lose.

I'll stick with my fujitsu t5010 for now and I'll probably get a fujitsu q550, motion computing cl900 or asus ep121 soon. If I really wanted to take notes with an android tablet, I'd get the htc flyer(it has an n-trig digitizer) but the note taking software for android is really quite pathetic compared to something like one note for windows.

don't get me wrong here. I'm a huge fan of android. I actually write android tablet apps for a living. there's a lot of things android tablets do well but note taking is not one of those things.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] gbmitchell:
Just make sure you get one with rubber tip and not foam.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] MountainX:
The HTC Flyer + stylus has pressure sensitivity. I have both these tablets and I like them both, but the Flyer is my favorite.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] smaskell:
That's because the flyer has a n-trig active digitizer. The galaxy tab, however, certainly does not.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Digital Man:
I use a Targus stylus from time to time on my XOOM and my Galaxy Tab 7.

The primary advantage for me is fingerprint reduction. Its nice to clean the screen and have it stay clean for a while. Try eating Pizza and poking your tablet's screen with your finger!

Accuracy is better with a stylus, however in terms of speed, fingers are generally faster.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] cdf3:
That's a good idea. I will look into that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] OneStepAhead:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] MountainX:
OK, I just bought two on your recommendation... (hope you aren't a spamer)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] discord2k:
haha... Not a spammer. Don't worry.

All my friends have bought tablets in the last few weeks and I got em all some of these and they all use them. Even when they pinch to zoom they use one finger on the screen and the stylus.

You'll like it. It's very precise and matches the build quality of the targus one.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] figurine:
You can make a good stylus out of an aluminum pen or hollow aluminum tube (from a telescopic mirror or an antenna) and some conductive foam squeezed into the end. there are tutorials on youtube. You should be able to get the foam from a computer supply shop or you can order it for cheap on ebay

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javagreen:
And if yes, what is the name of the app/service that I have to freeze using Titanium Backuup?

I have a 8 GB SD Card with only about 550 MB free, and the stupid media service creates 500mb worth of thumbnails and cache. It re-creates it each time I delete the cache. I'm currently running MIUI Gingerbread 2.3.4. Back when I was running CyanogenMod 6.xx I used to simply freeze the Gallery app and that used to solve the issue, but I don't see the gallery app listed in Titanium on the MIUI ROM. Freezing the MIUI Gallery app didn't stop the thumbnail cache creation process.

Creating a .nomedia file in the respective folders isn't an option because I need my photographs (I have about 20k worth of family/spouse pics that I always carry around on my phone in addition to wallpapers etc.) to be visible in Quickpic / Fishbowl photo app etc.

Any ideas?

Hi javagreen

go to the folder that your .thumbnails folders exist

rename or delete that, then using {new} create a new file(without any suffix) named the same .thumbnails

as you will see the size is zero and it will prevent your .thumbnailing engine from creating any thumbnails folder

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoMania:
Hello,

I have this strange problem.

I own a SGS, Vodafone locked, no hack, cooked ROM, etc installed...I used only Kies.

After upgrading to 2.2.1. (latest version available in Kies), all my installed applications stopped working. All applications were taken from market.

Default apps from Android work without a problem.

The error messages I get are:

View attachment 620435

View attachment 620436

View attachment 620437

View attachment 620438

I thought it was because I did something wrong in the update process.

I solved it by uninstalling and then installing again all my apps.

Few days ago, after changing the batteries (I have a spare one), I happened again, exactly the same.

So, can you please tell me if it happened to you?

Are there any solutions?

Should I write to Samsung?

[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
You need a valid image of the particular radio your looking for. None of the things I've seen have a radio.

If someone smarter than I gave the proper parameters for the dd command I'd image mine for you. There might be one floating around already.

Hi,

I tried from bootloder to make factory reset recovery and also tried to flash some roms in fastboot mode.

None of them worked.

My first choice is to get back to 2.2 froyo, but I would like to hear recommendations about custom roms, especially if you have any rom advice wihch can increase battery life etc. I am not an expert in flashing roms however I can also consider for a custom rom in the light of your suggestions.
