[Motorola Droid X2] KurioHonoo:
Yes, i know, i am an idiot, but i just wanted to see what the worse that could happen was, and well now i cant use the phone app and none of my contacts are synced with google, facebook, or twitter and i cant reinstall it with Titanium Backup, doing it manually or even pushing it with ADB, i could really use some help here, id rather not reset my phone back to the factory settings
[Motorola Droid X2] wdenker:
I don't think doing a factory reset will fix it either. you will most likely have to wait for an spf.
[Motorola Droid X2] elovefire:
Here u go!

go to droidxforums .com > droid x2 forums > support > about page 5 > click the thread "system/app folder if any one needs it" .. download that.

take the contacts apk or odex file or whichever one you need.

copy it and paste it in ur system -> app folder. u need to use root explorer to do that (make sure u click the R/w to paste it then click the r/o when ur done).

once it is back in there, long press the contact file and select permissions. match the permissions to an apk that actually works.

hope that fixes it. let me know if u need help. elovefire@gmail.com

I currently have ARHD 5.1.10 installed and when it comes out officially will install 5.1.11. What is the best (easiest and quickest) way to restore my widgets, icons and scenes to the way I have them now?

With ROM's being updated on such a regular interval there must be a one-click method?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmh:
Just backup in cwn if you want to, then flash the new ROM right on top of the old one. That way you'll keep all apps, settings etc. :-)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulrh:
Surely flashing a new ROM would wipe out my screens and replace with the "base" new one? I understand all the apps will be there but what about the layout of the icons?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulrh:
I flashed the latest ARHD 5.1.11 and of course the screens all changed to the base ROM versions. I then used Titanium Backup Pro to restore Apps and System. All the icons appeared in the same places as I had set them up in 5.1.10 however all of the widgets were "broken". I use Multicon so I have a lot of widgets so this was no good.

I Nandroided back to 5.1.10 and all is back to the way it was.

Is it possible to get back you previous icon and widget arrangement after flashing a new ROM? Titanium Backup Pro almost worked. Perhaps I chose the wrong restore method or option or do you have to sit there after each flash and painstakingly manually restore the icons/widgets after a flash. The missus is getting a little fed up!

What are your experiences?

HTC officially announced the Evo 4g+. http://www.htc.com/kr/product/evo4g+/overview.html

http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/22/is-this-the-htc-evo-4g-aka-kingdom/

This phone is rumored to go to sprint. Its pretty much the evo3d minus the 3d I guess. 4.3" screen 1 gb ram.

My question is, what would you pick out of the three, Galaxy S II, HTC Evo 4G+, or HTC Evo3D?

Ps. I tried my best to search through the forums looking for a poll like this but the search function was down so I had to do it manually. Sorry if I repeat someone else.

But if I had to choose out of those 3 it would definitely be Galaxy S II! I mean lets rehash..whats the difference between Evo 4g+ and Evo3d? the 3d and the camera? so end of the day SGS 2 still wipes the floor with both of them...
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
If Samsung is gonna continue being a good little boy and continuing the same trend that they have going with the original Galaxy S line (a phone for all major carriers with minor differences), then I'm holding out for an SGSII with slide-out keyboard. If they decide not to make one, then screw Samsung I'm going with something else. Dual Core 1gb RAM Epic 2 anyone? And please oh please Samsung wait for Kal-El before popping a Tegra in it.

[Epic 4G General] drivenapollo:
After having lots of touch screen problems with my epics (a few didn't make it. lol). I would have to say the 4g+. I really like the sensation 4g because there is no 3d. Bring that to Sprint and I'm sold, and unlock the bootloader of course. HTC phones are better built I think. My opinion don't flame. Also the GPS works flawless (stock), and touch screen works awesome. Better than anything I've experience on the Epic.

But GinderBreak can root the IncS, but somthimes you need some "Ninja" tricks.
[HTC Incredible S] P.Pan:
Are you done?
[HTC Incredible S] nniicckkss:
This just worked for me - it was simple in the end!

I used a spare SD card (I don't think I needed to), just copy/pasted the clockwork recovery .zip file to the card (not in a folder on the card) and rebooted, holding volume down on start-up. After that, it automatically prompted me to install the file, so I let it install.

Then, I rebooted the phone and deleted the above file from the SD card, and replaced it with the signed root .zip file and rebooted with the volume down button again.

Just follow the steps, one by one, 'To root:' in the above linked post, after you have installed the recovery file - it worked first time for me and was actually simple to follow!! :)

My phone works as it always has done (as you would expect/hope), but now I have root - confirmed with Root Explorer app from Market.

Thanks to all involved in the linked post above.

I also tried GingerBreak a few times but it just didn't work for me, so I gave this a go and it worked first time.
[HTC Incredible S] netwr:
My phone is still on 2.2 Froyo, Gingerbreak is for 2.3 correct?
[HTC Incredible S] netwr:
I dont quite understand step 4, 5, 6:

4. Extract recovery.img from the archive and put it with fastboot.

5. Put the phone is Fastboot USB mode (HINT: Android is not up and running - access it from your hboot screen - see how below)

6. fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img> <<< from a command line (use root for Linux- sudo ./fastboot yadda)

Step 4, it says put it with fastboot, does it mean after i extracted the recovery.img, move it to the same folder with the fastboot app (i.e. to the folder android-win-tools where the fastboot app is located?).

Step 5, Fastboot USB mode, this is done by holding the volume down button and the pressing the power button, when the white screen comes up, select Fastboot, and then plug the phone back to the computer via USB?

Step 6, after the phone is plugged to the computer via USB, double click on the fastboot app (the one inside the android-win-tools folder) and when the black prompt screen comes up, type in Linux- sudo ./fastboot yadda?

Btw, I am on Windows computer, not Linux, so is the command prompt Linux- sudo ./fastboot yadda correct?

Also, if I want to bluetooth the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip to the phone, will it go directly to the SD root location? If not, when I do clockworkmod recovery and "install zip from sdcard", will it able to locate the file?
[HTC Incredible S] coy1987:
No, follow step 6 you use command line like this: "fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery.img". After you choose "install zip from sdcard" you have to choose the location where you put the file you want to install.
[HTC Incredible S] netwr:
So this is exactly how it should be typed in the command prompt?

fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery.img

Are the rest of other steps correct?
[HTC Incredible S] netwr:
I am still getting stuck at the Clockworkmod installation part, without this I cannot get to the root step.

I extracted the android-win-tools.zip, which contains the following files:

adb

AdbWinApi.dll

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

android-info

fastboot

and then extracted the cwm-vivow-4.0.0.4-recovery.img.zip, contains the following:

recovery.img

then I moved all the above 6 files directly to the C: directory. After that went into cmd and typed the prompt exactly like following:

fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery.img

Did I miss anything? Because after typing that line and hit return it came out nothing. Is that prompt correct?

Hulu Plus broadcasts in HD/HQ, while Hulu doesn't. As far as Hulu vs. Netflix, the Hulu movie selection is almost non-exsistant (just an outrageous number of pot documentaries), but the TV shows selection is widening slowly. They do put the shows up days after air though, which is nice.
