[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcar1ton:
Hi, I recently purchased a secondhand HTC Desire Z off eBay that had been both unlocked from Bell Wireless and had a custom rom installed on it. I am having an impossible time figuring out what to do and when to do it--what I want is a Desire Z that is running the stock rom (which I currently don't have and no not where to download) that has been overclocked anywhere up to 2GHz. I would also like all of my applications to function normally (currently YouTube videos will not play). Here is all of the software info:

Android Version:

2.2.1

Baseband Version:

12.28e.60.140fP_26.04.02.17_M2

Kernel Version:

2.6.32.21-gd2764ed

htc-kerneland18-2 #1

Tue Oct 26 16:04:03 CST 2010

Build Number:

1.85.73.2 CL331649 release-keys

Software Number:

Virtuous v1.0.2 (Vision)

Browser Version:

WebKit 3.1

I've tried rooting it with Visionary, which doesn't work (I get a black screen after it attempts to root for about 20 seconds).

Please, step-by-step instructions would be greatly valued. I'm currently using a Mac, but I have Windows 7 installed on a Bootcamp partition, so if you may give me instructions in either terminal or cmd; either works.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
There is a guide for reverting back to stock in the wiki however, not having a backup of a partition that is changed in the process of rooting, you won't be able to return the phone to an "out of the box" state. If you're just wanting the stock ROM, just download the stock ROM (check the sticky in the dev section) and flash it to your device.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcar1ton:
What is the ultimate purpose of that partition that I can no longer get back? Is it going to drastically effect how the phone runs?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
Basically, removing root capability. If you just want a stock ROM, just check the sticky (sorry, I'd link to it if I weren't on the XDA app) in the dev thread for a list of available stock ROMs.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcar1ton:
The problem is that I don't currently have root access. Visionary is crashing, I tried using rage, which was also unsuccessful; I'm unable to install or manage roms using Rom Manager because of the lack of root access. Can I force the rom onto the phone and force install it using adp? Thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSpam:
It looks like you're already rooted considering that the Virtuous ROM has already been flashed to your device.

Can you boot into CWM by powering on with the power+vol down combination?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcar1ton:
I can boot into CWM, but I can't manage roms using the rom manager app. I have to download clockworkmod, but rom manager claims to not have permission to do that. I am unable to go to superuser and give it permissions. How would I go about putting the stock rom on the device and installing it?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSpam:
Have a look at the development forum -- as of now, there are some stock or nearly stock ROMs (albeit rooted) available for download.

Afterwards, place the .zip on your sdcard, reboot into CWM and install from there.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcar1ton:
I'll try it tonight and let you know how it works. Thanks in advance!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcar1ton:
Thank you so much; it all worked out! I updated the rom to the 2.4 version of xboarder56's Gingerbread. Everything works, and it's overclocked to 1.5GHz--fast enough to play N64 roms on N64oid at full speed (pretty much the reason I bought this phone, lol).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotenshi:
Hi

I'd like to recommend a radio for Atrix 4G AT & T. .. and a mod that makes it work better.

I was forced to use Google Translate ... I'm too bad for English xD

One thing, I live in Chile ... The Atrix can be used in HSDPA +, so I think it might take a little more speed:

With This radio

With stock AT&T 1.83 ROM

Thanks for your help

Cheers :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikatnight:
what's with the slow download? is that the point of this thread? i confused.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotenshi:
Como decirlo :S

En español (Sorry): Me recomendaron flashear una Radio que no sea la que viene stock, para solucionar mis problemas de descarga... es muy lento para ser HSDPA+ (<1MBPS) contra otros que tienen >2.5MBps

Básicamente eso.

A friend recommend flash another mod radio, with that my problems of data connection are solved, but, what is the better radio for Chile?

Take into account, the Atrix isn't sell in Chile.

Sorry xD I said, this is my english

[Optimus One, P500, V General] DigitalAnalog:
Hi all,

With the stock LG ROM, apps which should not be moved to SD had the 'move to SD' option grayed out. With Mik's CM7 though, all apps can seemingly be moved to SD. I understand that some apps need to be on the internal memory to function correctly. How can I determine which apps can be moved safely and which cannot?

Thanks!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetbinodray:
Apps that has widget. And UI apps.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Widgets, themes, keyboards, and launchers should be kept in internal.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jirrick:
apps that interferes with android system (keyboards, launchers, settings ...) should be in internal storage and the rest (mainly spacey games) can be freely moved to SD
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
It is better not to move the apps like Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail to the SD Card. For two reasons: 1. Their widgets will not work. 2. After you reboot your phone, your sync accounts will vanish from the "Accounts & Sync" menu and you would need to add them again.

I'm not completely sure whether the 2nd point happens to everybody, but it happens to me all the time :p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Hey gang!

I was perusing the Themes and Apps Section for the Evo 4g and noticed a couple trends. A lot of the themes and mods are for the ports of late, which is awesome! But I know some of you are very happy with the Sense 1.0 with GB that we've received recently (OTA 4.22). While I prefer the Sense 2.1 with GB Roms myself, I want to provide mods and themes for all sorts of stuff. The other trend I noticed was that a few flashers wanted transparency. Everyone loves transparency, right? With Gingerbread, as many devs and themers have found out, theming is much more ingrained in dex code than previous issues of Android OS. No worries, there are some smart cookies floating around. :-)

Well, I just wanted to upload this for the folks out there who would like to start theming or want to incorporate transparent Statusbar and Notification Area but are not quite familiar with smali/baksmali and xml editing. I have uploaded deodex and odex versions of the mod.

Here is exactly what I did in general terms.

used baksmali to decompile the SystemUI.odex

edited two lines in "com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarService.smali"

used smali to compile the smali folder back to classes.dex

made the statusbar 100% transparent (just for sample purposes, ie it can any level of transparency, not necessarily clear) but PhotoShopping "statusbar_background" in SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi

used apktool to decompile SystemUI.apk

made the notifications text white instead of black by editing values

made the notification area a transparent black instead of stock white

I think that is all that I did...

This little mod was by request and I can't guarantee that everything is 100%. I should also note that the ROM I used to was xHausx's stock odex rom as found HERE. Thanks xHAUSx! I figure this one would be as stock as it gets, and also the requester is using this ROM.

Let me know how it goes. I do not to take credit for actually coming up with the mod for transparency for Gingerbread. That smali hack should be credited to KBanause. What I did was make it work for the Evo and also inverted the text color a little bit. I also do not take credit for broken devices. Please Nandroid.

Sorry for the long post!

Thanks Tom, I will let you know how things go. :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:
Works As Planned! You Are The Man!!! :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Nacomoon:
Well...it works, and it looks nice on my home screen, but the white icons and stuff make it impossible to read the notification bar in some apps like gmail. Still cool though :D

p.s. This was on Fresh 4.1.1.0 btw
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] joshpdavis80:
Would it be difficult to make it play nice with this status bar mod? The only thing that remains after flashing your mod over his is the battery percentage. Thanks in advance!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Hey guys. I'm sorry but I do not use this ROM, and thus it will be difficult for me to make mods for it.

I only wanted to release this so peeps can do it with their flavor. Maybe one of the other themers who use this Rom like rydah can fill these requests.

I do however, agree with the white icons being too white. :-)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Evolutionmods:
Love the mod. We just need the status bar up top solid black while having the dropdown transparent. I'll take a look at it and see what I can come up with . I'm good with xmls not smalis.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Just insert a black png for the status bar. I only enabled the transparent, but it isn't necessary.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Evolutionmods:
awesome! great work!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xlxcrossing:
I really want to use this mod however I get no status bar at all when i run the zip. Android just starts up with no status bar, what's the issue?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Let me ask you. What Rom are you using? Also, if you using stock Rom, you're likely on 4.24 ota. This was made for 4.22.

I've had same issue btw. A full restart worked for me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xlxcrossing:
I'm using MikG which is using 4.24 OTA. It's Sense 2.1 so I guess no go. What would be the best way to replicate your theme? I know how to replace the background png but I don't know how to edit scripts or anything for the font color change.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
MikG is not based on OTA. It is based in Evo shift ota which had sense 2.1.

Go to themikmik.com and you will find this mod in several themes. :-)

Help guys i been having this problem i installed Brillian Corners and a bunch of other roms. but when i get on i like something weird happens on almost every one. when i go to the market to get a program it tells me there is no space. but my internal is empty and my 16gb external is empty too. so i got almosy 32gb free whats up?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] transitoyspace:
i tried puttying my sd card after i installed rom and other apps. and then thats when i recieved mounting errors and internal sd was unmounted for whatever reason. I dont think this rom has support for external sd card. but just based on my expierence
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohanmoka:
lol this isnt the only on0e its happen to me on
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] transitoyspace:
well what do you have your micro sd formated as. i had fat32 but wasnt working in most roms. so i formated it to ext3 and its worked so far...at least in recognizing it.

Beastly mounted it fine.And so did all of gb roms.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohanmoka:
also is there maybe just a way to root tapntap i do like it
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] transitoyspace:
i think there is. you might have to set up adb and push stuff over. but not to sure on that. you can always use a custom TNT rom. Its still tnt but much snappier and faster

im running 1.2 branch tapntap and it really fast

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdilla917:
Oh hey guys. I need your help! I did that awful, stupid thing where I dropped my phone into the toilet. I immediately took the battery out and placed both pieces of my phone into a Ziploc with rice for about 2 days. When I popped the battery back in, the Tbolt booted fine, but as I was checking my messages, it began turning itself off and on.

I am rooted (running liquid thundersense with no previous problems), so I tried to just manually boot into recovery and restore. But as it keeps turning itself off and on, I can't get it to do this. I tried charging my battery externally, but that did not help.

Thank you in advance!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
Trying placing it on top of something which produces dry heat. I placed my phone on top of the cable box for a day when water leaked onto my screen. I've also tried this on another phone which was completely submerged in water. Second phone took about 2 days to dry. It has the same problem as yours, it kept rebooting.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonadiehl:
More water questions

I left my phone out overnight and am experiencing the same rebooting. My battery water indicator is red, but I was just going to buy a new battery and send it in to Verizon. Will they know there was water damage if I don't send a battery that has the water damage indicator turned red?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadsterflip:
Did the whole phone drop in the water? I have taken this phone apart many times and they have those water detector right underneath the kickstand. If they open it they would know for sure. Not to burst your bubbles but I don't want you to get charge full price.

I've heard dumping the phone on a 99.9% alchol and let it dry takes the rest of the water out .
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonadiehl:
It didn't drop in water but it got sprinkled on. Can I see this under the kickstand indicator without taking the phone apart? Also, if I send it in and they find water damage does that mean I have to pay full price or could I just tell them to send me my sort of working phone back? Thanks so much for the information.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadsterflip:
I think once your send it that's that. You can't get your phone back (qoute me if I'm wrong). If you just sprinkled it then I highly doubt it that you got the water indicator behind the kickstand (inside wise).

cant update the binary either same prob as above any help!!??
[Epic 4G Themes] Ceelos09:
There should be another app called "superuser update fixer" that is supposed to take care of all the update issues that are happening. And yes, the app is also from Chains himself so it should be legit. I was able to update with no issues but maybe that app helps all of u who are having troubles :)
[Epic 4G Themes] Glewis21:
It works
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
Also, check if you need to update your original version of Superuser. I just found I had an update waiting for me that the market was refusing to tell me about. Then go in the Superuser app and it will ask if you want to update your binary script.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] amscot:
Ok, having gone through 4 ROMs and trying my 5th, is it just a result of Android on the HD2 having really poor WiFi reception? Works well in WM, yet I can't get more than a 25% signal using android. Using WiFi analyzer, I get 80dBm right next to my router. Going 10 feet away, drops are constant. Anyone point me to a good ROM with decent WiFi? On the upside, I'm getting good at flashing!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo_hito:
So it seems the SGS2 added some functionality eg. power + home for screen cap, hold menu for search, double home for vlingo.

Question is, does anyone know whether these are in the source code that Samsung released at all? I searched the files for keywords like 'screen capture' to no avail.

I'm trying to make an app that changes the way the volume key behaves - long press for 'media next' but found out that android services can't listen for keyevents.. or so I told. That's why I'm trying to find out how samsung is doing this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backie:

If I calibrated a ROM, flash a be one to test it, then restore back, do I have to re-calibrate my cattery all over again?

Do the battery stats file get backed up and restored also?
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Any time you wipe to flash a new rom you should recalibrate your battery. You don't have to, but you should if you want the best battery life possible.
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
I have my mms settings configured to allow 600kb attachments. I have tried using handcent and gosms. Neither solved the issue. When I receive a message, it gets shrunk. I can send an mms in its full resolution to someone else, but when I receive one, it's always about half as large as the original. For example, if I send a 150kb picture to my girlfriend's tilt2, she receives the same 150kb picture. If I send a 150kb picture to myself, I get a 75kb picture. If she forwards the 150kb picture back to me, it is downgraded to 75kb by my phone. Is there a fix for this. I've been looking around for over an hour with no luck.

Update: I think it has something to do with the network. It's working for the time being. That is...I'm able to both send and receive mms attachments in their original resolution. Beats me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Projectdwnshft:
This seems to do this to me all the time, it pisses me off cause when you go to zoom in its all blurry and grainy. Is there a way to fix this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
I don't believe there is.

It does suck! You have this badass phone, yet you could save mms attachments better with a damn ten year old razr.

Update: I believe it has something to do with peak time. All of the mms attachments that I receive right not (around 1:00 PM on Monday) are being shrunk to half their normal size, whereas last night I was able to receive them in full resolution. Still it's a problem with the phone not the network because I can send and receive them in full resolution on my girlfriends Tilt2 and we are on the same network, same city.
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
Bump

This to me is a major issue. I am willing to switch roms to solve it. Can anyone confirm if a particular rom fixes the problem?
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
What ROM are you using now? I'm using CM7 and have received MMS attachments from my wife's iPhone, and they are large, clear and zoomable. So maybe try CM7 or one of the many ROMs based on CM7.
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
I was on cleardroid. Now I'm on leedroid. Neither allow delivery of large mms attachments. Both roms shrink the mms to about half its original size. Both will send mms attachments in full resolution.
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
More info about this issue...

Some attachments are sendable and receivable without being compressed and some are not. Size is not the key issue. I sent myself a 175kb pic and received it in its original resolution, but I sent a 140kb pic, and it was compressed down to 75kb upon receipt. It seems to have something to do with the picture itself that causes the resizing. Could it be the dimensions?
