[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] typci:
I just ordered the U8800 off TaoBao. It should be here in a few days.

I've done a lot of modding on a LG GT540, so I've got a idea on how to do things.

Here is what I've done to prepare:

1) Silicone case and screen protector - bought

2) Perfect Recovery 3.0.2.8 - Downloaded

3) B160 rom - with overclocking - Downloaded (This will root the phone right?)

4) Data Partiton Customize - Downloaded

5) How to get rid of data usage reminder (switch between 3G and wifi) - found

6) Modify build.prop to Desire HD - Found

7) Root explorer to get rid of useless apps - downloaded

8) Edit build.prop to increase/tweak performance (windowsmgr, unlocscreen, lcd density, heapsize) (Can I increase the heap size to 48M? It's what I use on my LG GT540 with cyanogenmod 7)

9) Swapper 2 for swap file - Downloaded

Next steps:

1) Get the circle battery mod

Is there anything I am forgetting or don't know about yet?

Really looking forward to this phone.

A question where can I buy a screen proctetor here in sweden for the Ideos X5
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] typci:
You can buy a generic screen protector, and cut it to fit. Most electronic stores, cell phone store, wal-mart, etc. should have them.

If you want a custom one, try ebay. My rubber case comes with a screen protector.

Also, in China, we have lots of people selling them on the street.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:
Don't cut one yourself.. too much hassle. I bought a screen protector and a hard case off ebay for $10 + $5 shipping.. Everything fittet PERFECTLY and took me 2 mins to fit it in.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegandroid:
i just bought a xoom today and i have obtained root. i am looking to use my microSD slot and update to 3.1 and over clock using tiamat 1.4.4. i am no even able to find out how im suppose to flash the 1.3 kernel so i can use the sd slot to update to 3.1. i copied th kernel to the xoom using a drag and drop in "my computer" and then use rom manager to flash it but it says "update aborted". i dont know what to do. i know how to use adb so i dont fear it but can someone help with this problem? maybe a walkthrough? thanks for your time.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waisfzr:
hi

do you have clock recovery then reboot in to recovery then install zip from sdcard then choose zip from sdcard and there you go choose the zip file and you done....
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waisfzr:
TRY THAT

Install Instructions:

***Prior to flashing you must create a folder named sdcard2 inside of the existing sdcard folder.***

Download and unzip the file below. Make sure you place all 6 files in the path you are running commands from.

The following install instruction are to be executed in adb. The red text represent the command that needs to be entered.

adb reboot bootloader

Xoom will reboot into bootloader screen

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

Xoom will then reboot into homescreen

adb remount

adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

adb push tun.ko /system/lib/modules/tun.ko

adb push scsi_wait_scan.ko /system/lib/modules/scsi_wait_scan.ko

adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko

adb push vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab

adb reboot

Xoom will then reboot and if all went well, you can now overclock to 1504 via Droid Overclock or SetCPU.

Please note- After you have flashed the kernel you must insert the SD card and reboot for files to appear.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegandroid:
i did....that's why I'm trying to figure it out. Its saying the update is aborted. I don't have access to the SD slot because its disabled so I camt put it on the SD card.

i have myn 2.2 installed and I'm not sure what happened.. last night was fine and all I did was wipe the dalvik cache and that went fine, however when my alarm went off this morning it got stuck and my only option was to reboot the phone and after it did I keep getting a force close message that will never go away.

:The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

What should I do?

I will try the hotspot on my phone and ipad and see if I get the same result.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zatos:
Okay, I try to search for answers to my own questions, but there's so many threads and can't find a good place to start.

I see there are some new GB Sense 2.1 ROMs out that also come with Sense 3.0 apps if you install them.

I don't know which apps they are, and of those, what the differences would be between them.

What I'm most concerned with is if there is a performance impact in using the 3.0 apps versus the 2.1 ones.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
They just look better opinion I guess try mikg v1.03 it has the 3.0 already on it but its a 2.1 ROM.

Thats what I'm on and loving it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] XGX5309:
I know it seems frivolous, but I've been using a Droid X for the past few days and while I firmly believe Samsung's Gingerbread is better (by miles), the Droid X has a screen rotation animation and it's a really nice little feature. It's very similar to the animation Honeycomb uses. Now I have all the frameworks extracted and I've decompiled "services.odex" to see if I can find out where it's at... I see a lot of UI smali's but I'm unsure of which one it's in.

If anyone would know where to look (specifically), or would be of any assistance, it would be most appreciated. :)

Or can this even be realistically incorporated into Samsung's frameworks?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thehobster:
Nice - but clarification requested

I like the article as it answers some questions.

One thing I'm curious about - you seem to use the terms Recovery Partition and Recovery Program interchangeably. Is that your intent? I'm not trying to split hairs - I just want to understand. I would have expected booting into the recovery partition loads the recovery program.

Also, you talk about how vendors choose features of their recovery program. CWM is then a replacement for the vendor supplied recovery program, correct? If you root then install CWM, are you in effect replacing the recovery program after rooting (as opposed to forcing CWM to overwrite the existing recovery program via flash)?

Thx

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thetrees13:
Does anyone know how to or know of another post somewhere that will show me how to change bootanimation using ADB I want to have the original android animation.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
All of our kernels, except for the modded kb5 by krylon use .qmg files for boot animation. If you want to use a bootanimation.zip... Use the modded kb5 kernel. Read the thread and make sure its good, i havent tried it. As far as adb is concerned, just push thw .qmg or .zip to /system/media... I think.

I just mafe a flashable kb5 modded kernel thst will allow bootanimation.zip. Postinf in a few. New thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyc19:
why is everyone using kb5 now? is that the best one?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
No... Everyones using bali. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyc19:
Haha yeah but I meant the modem :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
Lol and i was supposed to infer that in a thread about kernels. ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyc19:
Hmmm...i guess your right...i loose
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
I'd wait for a stable of the new ROM trigger. It's on KD1 (latest build) and will support Boot animations, but right now it's really beta and in testing.

That's what I'll probably do depending on how it works out. Since yes currently modified KB5 is the only kernel supporting custom bootanimation.zip's
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thetrees13:
So if I complied a .qmg file for the boot animation I could just go in and swap that one out for the default one. do you happen to know how to compile a .qmg file? I've never heard of that extension until now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] woodmanskinsfan:
I think the short answer is, it won't work. Pretty sure I've read you need proprietary software to create .qmg's. Samsung has it pretty well locked down in their stock kernels; thus the modded kernels that can use bootanimation.zip files (of which only the KB5 is currently available). :)

Might be some more info on this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
No clue. Think u need a job at samsung or some proprietary software.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thetrees13:
hahaha yeah I just did a bunch of searching and that was the conclusion I came up with too. oh well, I guess I'll have to start reading up and learning about kernals and such to try and figure out how to support bootanimation zips.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
U can flash kb5 in cwm and work with bootanimation.zip
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thetrees13:
And this is fine to flash over kd1? I'm somewhat new to android developing, I had always been with iPhone and iOS until I realized the possibilities with android hahaha :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
Yep.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thetrees13:
hey thanks for all your help robbbbit, all this stuff can get confusing sometimes haha :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
By default the Clockwork Mod backup is saved to the internal SD card of the phone.

If I move it to my external SD card will I still be able to restore it or does it need to remain in the Clockwork Mod folder on the internal SD card???

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
You can check it for yourself by pressing backup and then restore in the recovery. If the file is found, you can restore, if not you can't.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
I think it won't work. I was thinking of that you could put it on your external_sd and putting it back to the internal sd when you need to recover. But you can't access usb mode in recovery (yet) right?

So when you can't access the OS to place the backup back onto your internal sd, you can't recover. There goes my idea..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
Thanks guys, I tried moving it to my SD card but it doesn't find it when I try to restore a back up so it has to stay on the internal storage.

hi there,

can someone tell me is there any progress to make a sim unlock software like htc desire, or sensation can only be unlock with code purchased from some site that offer this ? thakns in advance
[HTC Sensation] giorgisp:
Currently there is no know method of sim-unlocking the Sensation without an unlock code purchased from a site. Also, this thread should be in the General forum, not here. Please some mod move this ;)
[HTC Sensation] cjm1979:
Where did you get the phone from?
[HTC Sensation] ChrisAC84:
You could always just call T-Mobile. They always give me the unlock codes. I ust tell them (ATT also) that I am using the phone overseas, and I need the unlock code to use an international SIM. ATT usually just gives me the code, and T-Mobile emails it within 24 hours. I have yet to be told no by either carrier.
[HTC Sensation] rahan95:
Not that easy : in France, the Sensation is atm SFR exclusive (same as Vodafone)

And they don't have the codes handy for the time being even though they're forced by French laws to give it for free to those who bought the phone with a pre-paid offer !
[HTC Sensation] ashandarey:
mmm bulgaria :) our service provider is part of vodafone ...so :)
[HTC Sensation] ChrisAC84:
Hmm, didn't know that. Thanks for the info

[HTC Sensation] apprentice:
Vodafone UK already unlocked :)

I assumed when I got my Sensation from Vodafone that it would need to be unlocked to accomodate my Orange SIM. So I was looking around for an unlocker and was just about to part with cash on one of the sites, when I thought I would pop the Orange SIM in the phone to see what the error message would be.

I was then greeted by the Orange carrier signal and all was working fine!! Glad I didn't pay my £15 I would have been well gutted.

So yeah, I can confirm that the Vodafone ones in the UK are already SIM unlocked. Nice!

Also - off topic - there is no branding on the phone other than a quick logo upon booting up the phone. So all in all a good deal.

[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
nothing at all??
[HTC Sensation] IJS-T:
Well, As far as I know the phones in Europe don't have simlocks, so I suggest you try it first when your phone arrives and than look if it has one. It could be it's simlockfree at the moment it arrives.

but im getting mine from tmobile USA.

There should be a website or something that does this:(

2nd this. I am using this set up and it is great. even makes a cheap pair of skull candies sound good.
[Epic 4G Accessories] OperationMove:
+1 for Voodoo/PowerAmp combination. TBH, Poweramp sounds good even by itself, as I know a few people without rooted phones running it. Poweramp has the best equalizer of anything out for Android as of right now. Very customizable, and even has individual treble and bass knobs that are adjustable after you set your EQ. Super-customizable sound regardless of what type of music you are into...

I Personally enjoy using the preset "Bass and Treble" for my Hardcore/Metal/Punk needs, and a slightly customized Bass and Treble for Rap/Hip-Hop. Depending on your headphones though, you'll have to modify it to fit your ear.

i owned the sony dr-bt160as and now the backbeats

sony's were alot more comfortable but didn't claim noise reduction

sound quality are equal in my opinion...the sony's have slightly less ability to be heard when speaking.

i also wear glasses so keep that in mind on the comfort factor

the backbeats are a little more troublesome with day to day pairing

the sony's can be turned on before pairing with the epic bt

whereas the backbeats must be turned on after bt is enabled first on the phone

both will repair if you walk away from your device and then back in range.

sound quality is roughly the same as is battery life over 7-8 hours for both

backbeats were a lot cheaper...

however if i did it all over again i would still choose the sony's...for comfort, usability, and style...with a slight disadvantage on the microphone.

samsung galaxy s2 does have to wow factor but i was not able to enjoy as much as i did iphone. so i have sold my galaxy s2 for 4k less and again bought myself an iphone 4 this time white one
[Galaxy S II General] Jabbypants:
Not really sure why you made a thready up saying this but yeah the I4 is a nice phone, I sold one not so long ago and wen on the Optimus X2( terrible phone).

Sold that and got this and I wouldn't go back to a Iphone 4, IOS is way to basic and there is very little you can do to mod it like Android, I certainly wouldn't give up 1080p video recording, playing pretty much any video format out including mkv's for the Iphone,

The I4 records ok video just not in the same league as this phone and as much as I liked the resolution on the I4's screen it doesn't come close too the quality of the Super AMOLED + on this phone for colours/blacks but each too there own i guess :).
