[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
I would just follow my advice and odin back to stock its really easy and safe to do. Well if the only apps u have left are bloatware and u dont save anything else i guess u wont need to back anything up before odin. Well the thing its alot easier to root 2.1 then 2.2.

Once ur at 2.1 just do the root process of installing update package twice and after twice ur recovery will turn from blue to green.

follow this guide

power off phone

pull out battery

So, is this the right link from the guide you posted, it's amazing, I read so many things today that It's easy to get a little well, brain farty, ya know.

Also, I have the kies mini drivers installed, that's how I updated from 2.1 to 2.2 so I assume those will work fine?

BTW, this is the coolest community, props to all involved!!!

Now, I edited my post I think while you were replying, any rom suggestions for a simple user who likes minimal applications but just a well running phone that's not clogged to the gills with stuff?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
good noob friendly rom is bionix 1.3.1!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kero4:
Yep, that seems to be the consensus, thank you :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kero4:
Guys,

A huge thanks, odin'd back to 2.1, rooted, removed the bloatware I didn't want, gonna make a nandroid back, then proceed on to bionix.

I can understand how first time users can get nervous but once done, the process really is not that hard, just takes patience and making sure everything is prep'd before doing so.

I hope I can now help others if you guys don't beat me to it first :)

My only question is this: when I create my nandroid backup, where does it go and do I need to save it somewhere just in case like a usb key or something along those lines or does it reside on the phone. Only asking cause I have not yet done this step
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
U can always make a extra backup and store them on ur ext sd
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kero4:
Okay, so I assume the backup, made from rom manager "backup current rom" gets stored to the internal memory on the phone?

Any special settings or it just does it's thing, should be smaller than normal as I removed quite a bit of junk and stuff.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinglers:
i did what you said and i still cant get into clockwork recovery screen! i went back to stock rom, reinstalled packages twice and i still have samsung recovery. i know i have root because i get the super user asking me to give clockwork root access!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kero4:
So I assume you odin'd back to 2.1, rooted have installed titanimum backup and busy box, rom manager, tapped the flash clockworkmod recovery, then "reboot in recovery" choose update. I rebooted via the rom manager menu, not via the phone itself. I had to update twice immediately, didn't reboot and do it again. I saw it installing and it kinda hung, then used the volume down to update again, and was completed.

Also after installing titanium there was an update for super user, which I also installed as well. Did you do this? Not sure if it has any bearing but thought it was worth mentioning.

It worked seamlessly for me, I had to update twice, then purple turned to green and all is well.

Can you post your steps you took to get back to 2.1, how you rooted, etc etc?

It's kinda fresh in my mind as I only did it about 2 hours ago.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinglers:
my screw up after i flashed clockwork and rebooted i didnt apply package. all is good now. thx for all the info!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kero4:
Anytime, I found the process to be quite interesting and taught me alot and also removed my fear of installing new roms and such.

Make sure to create your backup through rom manager. When you do, it will reboot into clockwordrecovery and show you the progress, didn't take that long for mine but I removed alot of nonesense from 2.1. This will be your emergency fall back, you might know this already but just making sure, as I am quite a noob at this point ROFL!

Enjoy :)

ps - I still can't decide on a new rom, I'm so fussy about stuff, ugh.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tcjaym:
OK I just downloaded the official uk 3.1 update from the Asus site, can I just update straight to that without having to go back to 3.0?

If i can then what's the best way to do it?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
You can try using the recovery method used to flash the leaked US 3.1 ROM. It should work in the same way.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tcjaym:
Tried that and I just get the android guy with the exclamation sign.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Fred23:
I had problems switching from US back to WW. I tried renaming the WW ROM I was trying to install so it had US in the filename - that meant the TF now noticed it, but then wouldn't install it. (Got the Android with ! on his chest error.)

Then I copied the zip to the root of the SD card and renamed it to TF101_SDUPDATE.zip (as per instruction to install the leaked ROM) and rebooted with volume down button pressed - that worked. It seems that's the "magic filename" to force an install ignoring location.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tcjaym:
Thanks mate, just tried that too but it still give me the android guy! Error. If you still have the one you renamed would it be possible for you to upload it if its not too much trouble please mate
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JMQUINT00:
there is an sop on the Asus website.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tcjaym:
What's a sop?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] grinnerD:
- the file from asus website is called: UpdateLauncher_WW_epaduser8445.zip

- Open this file with a zip program like winzip or 7zip

- you'll see a zip file inside under some folders called \ASUS\Update\

- extract the file called WW_epad-user-8.4.4.5.zip and rename that to EP101_SDUPDATE.ZIP

- stick EP101_SDUPDATE.ZIP at root of your external sd card and reboot and do the toggle up/down etc....

That worked perfectly, thanks mate :)

Hi all,

Just wondering if it's possible for the dock shortcuts in Launcher Pro to go directly to the missed calls log/unread sms on the SGS2? At the moment they just go straight to dialer/all sms view and I was just wondering if there's a setting or workaround to bring it directly to the call/message that I've missed.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rheno:
Since I have a fairly simple question and a 10 post limit, I'll just link to the post I'm referring to: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=786436, and ask exactly how it's done. This post effectively details how to turn S-On and flash back to a factory image. I'm referring to Part 2 to go back to Stock 2.2.

I understand that I need to put the s-on .zip file on my SD card and "flash" it through clockworkmod recovery. That's cool, but what exactly does that mean? Do I click "Install ROM from SD Card (even though this isn't a ROM?)," or reboot into Recovery and use the "install .zip from sdcard" option?

After "flashing" the .zip file to turn s-on, then I would have to put the RUU on my SD card and just boot into HBoot.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rheno:
I understand that I'm being a little impatient; 10 posts isn't much at all. But I'm on a bit of a time constraint, and my question is pretty general.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1107963:
That mean you boot into HBoot and then Recovery once in recovery choose Install zip from sd card and choose your S-on zip after that you do the RUU part... have more question just ask....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Yes, but you have to name it PB31IMG.zip in order for HBOOT to recognize it.

[Droid Eris Android Development] AdamFerg:
To answer the question that everyone is thinking as they click on this thread... Yes, I am a noob.

Anyway, I downloaded the Android Kitchen and installed it on a Linux Ubuntu Virtual Machine on my Macbook using VMWare Fusion and i watched a video from theunlockr, but all it really let me do was add in apps, change the rom name and give it a few features but no visual customizations... If i posted a link of the "My ROM" no one would be able to tell a difference in the rom i planned on starting from.

Let me know if there is a different way to create that is actually making ROMs or customizing the ROM in it's entirety instead of small unnoticeable features, let me know if I'm just doing something wrong in my Android Kitchen and let me know if theres an easy way to develop ROMs on Mac without Virtual Machines. (The last one isn't a big worry because linux is very lightweight and runs fine on my computer but please help me on the other two questions)

Thanks in advance,

Adam Ferguson

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :>):
This is probably a noob question, but how can you view the coding of an android application? I just had a small test app developed for me and I would like to look at the "guts" of it.

I downloaded the emulator but I haven't been able to figure out how to see my app's code using it. Maybe there is another way that's easier? You know, something akin to the "view page source" tab enabled in many browsers that allows you to see an html page's code?

I tried opening it with TextEdit on my Mac but it says its not readable.

What's an easy way to take a look at/edit the code?

[Dell Streak 7] b2_2499:
ok im new to the android family and a total noob lol. but i need some help, ive been surfing to find answers my streak 7 wont take a charge unless i pull the piece partially out of the tablet, not sure to what caused this im thinking a pwer surge came through when i had it plugged into a wall socket connected to a light switch that got turned off then back on. also how do i get honeycomb 3.1 on it and will that void the warranty. is there a voice app that will allow the tablet behave like the xbox kenect?
[Dell Streak 7] Deleted member 2758866:
You've probably smashed the power cable. I did it to mine and I've been having that problem. There is a thread for the honeycomb install. There is no app that will allow the streak to work like a kinect.
[Dell Streak 7] stefan.buddle:
Is he serious about that last question?
[Dell Streak 7] keith.valdez:
I think he's talking about the voice control on the kinect. As of yet there is nothing like Dragon Naturally Speaking for android, but it is possible since they do have voice recognition. After all, just press the microphone button on the google search widget and you can start just about any activity and even have it dictate emails for you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
I really can't take the quality control issues any more. I think I am going to try and get a Sensation. I really love the phone, I just can't take the battery over heats, and the screen bleed, and the horrible battery life. I know there will be an impending Gingerbread update that will hopefully fix 2/3 main gripes I have with the phone, but it has still left a bad taste in my mouth. I know that HTC never has this bad of a problem with their phones. I think I am going to try and get a replacement for the Sensation through T-Mobile. If I can't I will deal with warranty replacements until I get a good G2x.

Anyone else starting to feel this conclusion?

I am getting a warranty replacement, and that will be the determining factor for my decision.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
Good luck!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
Thanks, I know this post won't do well here, but I am really fed up. I have never had a phone with this many out of the box problems. Plus replacements with the same problems! I really want to give this phone a 2nd chance, but its an up hill battle. The power behind this phone is smudged by the short battery life and the overheating issue when charging. I am hoping the replacement I get isn't the same thing as the one I have currently.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
What apps do you have on your phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeffreynew23:
I feel you. I am leaning towards doing the same.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
Tons, but I have had mostly the same apps since I have had the G2, and I am sure they have nothing to do with this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
Do you have the o2x notification app? I deleted that and reboots stopped... Sounds weird but it is true...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
Well, I depend on that app to. . uh notify me haha. I really don't want to have anxiety and check my phone every five min. Sometimes I cant feel the vibrate so I won't respond for hours if I don't know I have a text LOL, and that's a no no to my GF.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JaiaV:
Same here. That app chewed through the battery like nothing else, even with the LED brightness turned down. Caused all kinds of reboots and whatnot. Deleted it and all issues with my phone disappeared instamagically.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
So keep your GF happy, and deal with the reboots... Oooooooor fix your phone, keep it and stop obsessing over text messages... Oooooooor try the new notification app that is in the themes and apps section, keep the phone, make your GF happy and save the world...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wewoapsiak:
Ok luv ya buh bye! :)

I keed I keed. +1 with the notification app, deleting that made my life better. Screen bleed is something I understand too, but that's why I like the notification bar mod sonnysekhon posted in his CM7 themes. Makes the bleed look normal at least until I play a movie or something. Other than that I'm happy. Good luck if you go for the sensation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
Yes but I really depend on it! D: lol. I wish they had an LED notification light on the G2x.

For me its not just screen bleed, its the overheating issue as well, and the poor battery life(yes even with out the app).

Flash faux's 1.2.2 and his 1.9 kernal. It's been rock solid for me. My battery's been off the charger for 10hrs now and its at 57%.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
It doesn't matter that you have had your apps since the G2. Apps will act differently from device to device. For instance. I have always had the NFL Mobile app and when I put it on my G2X, it was causing it to overheat and was killing the battery big time. It would drop 10% ever 15 minutes while at idle. The very second I deleted the app, everything went back to normal.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Won't hear any flack from me. I am getting the Sensation as well but I don't know if I am going to give it to my wife or give her the G2X. Either way, which ever one I decide on is hitting the bricks once the Hercules gets here. I already purchased the Sensation and returned it the same day due to over heating, freezing and reboots. Seems like every phone now adays ships with bugs and it's like playing a lottery in order to get a bug free one. Looking over in the Sensation forum isn't to promising considering all of it's own problems.

O well. I'll wait until the Sensation gets released from T-Mobile so I can return it as many times I need to like I did with my G2X. I had to return 3 in order to get a perfect device with absolutely no bugs. I don't settle for bugs on my phone and I wouldn't expect anyone else too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
But I don't have any app like that I am sure, I checked battery history nothing is really out of the ordinary. The only one that I would think is the LED notifier since it has the most use.

I'm with you, I find myself saying "I hate this blasted phone" everyday now. Would be a great phone if it was reliable, but it's not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
Apps certainly do have a lot to do with the rebooting issues that some people are having. My phone has only rebooted maybe once and it was because of an app. Removed the app and no more rebooting. Replacing the phone will do nothing if you continue to use it the same way and don't do any actual troubleshooting yourself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] butterbeam:
Hercules is only a code name for the phone. But it does have a nice ring to it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
Not sure which LED notification app you're using but the one I'm using hasn't caused me any reboots or battery drain (could just be my device but I'm not sure). It's called LG 2x/Black Notifications, made to be used both for the G2x and O2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brett_day:
Unless you are still within your buyers remorse period you will not be able to exchange for a sensation. I tried and was told the same thing by 3 t-mobile reps. after remorse period all they will do is trade out for the same phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Eh. If you get 3 replacements the next step is to offer you a comparable make/model. That would be a sensation at this point.

Although I'm following the sensation thread and they don't have temp root, perma-root, or an unlocked bootloader yet. Plus looks like they are over heating, rebooting, bad viewing angles, and washed out colors. That plus they aren't as fast as ours plus everything else already discussed in the other threads.

Sounds like if any phone was fixable it would be the G2x with an update on the way and our great Modding community.

CM7 is adding touchpanel notifications to their kernel which means it wont kill battery like the old temp solution. They have support for it now but I don't think the options are set yet.... which right now needs an app until it gets merged.

2 problem phones in which one is locked down. No fixes for sensation until HTC either does it or unlocks them. With the phone recently out, you shouldn't expect an update for at least a few months.

LG G2x CM7 2.3.4
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
I know the solutions are here. I kinda chilled a little, BUT you know I am still kinda ticked at the lack of quality control. Tomorrow I will see, my replacement comes then. If its the same story then you know I will have to continue my quest. The Sensation though, hasn't even been released officially. I remember when I had the G2 at the start it had no root for about a month, then another month for some progress then a week or so for perma root and S-Off. I was there in the irc channels. I can wait, I just cant deal with low battery issues and such. Plus the first releases of phones always have hw issuest things get fixed, and get better but with the G2x it hasn't appeared that way. They aren't selling it anymore until they get stock or gingerbread, either way something is up with this phone. HTC is known for getting better HW revisions after a small while, again G2 loose hinge was eventually fixed. I don't know I really like this phone, but if things dont shape up HW wise I am gonna move on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeffreynew23:
We shouldn't have to have a mod because of screen bleeding. I guess that was the ops original point
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mysterioustko:
I say take the leap. I still have my G2X (because I intend on having Tmobile swap it for a Sensation since I have had 3 within 90 days..lemon policy :D ) and I bought a Sensation and have been using it for 5 days now. I have not had any problems with it at all besides latency which was easily fixed. I figured this would be my trial run with the Sensation before I decide for sure I want Tmobile to swap it. Well so far I have been impressed with the phone. It has been very stable (haven't had one crash or reboot) and the battery life is much better than that of the G2X. The G2X is a little bit peppier than the Sensation but not tremendously so (the difference is neglible). These last 5 days have really helped me make my decision. I intend on having my G2X swapped out and going Sensation (lol then I'll return the one I bought at walmart and get my money back).
