[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HalosGhost:
Hey everyone,

I recently (a few weeks ago) updated to an hTC Mecha and pretty quickly flashed the CyanogenMod 7 Pre-Alpha. I updated from a Motorola DROID, and though almost everything I want already exists or has been ported, there is one thing that I have not been able to find.

Plenty of kernels (including the CM7 Stock-kernel) support very decent overclocking, and with the use of viperMOD, it is possible to undervolt. However, I'm used to being able to custom-clock and custom-volt (as in, pick my clock rates manually and calculate my vsels on my own).

I'm under the impression that the easiest way to go about doing this kind of customization is through the /proc/overclock filesystem which comes from the overclock klm (overclock.ko).

I have not yet found any kernel for the Mecha that supports / has the overclock module packaged with it. Is anyone interested in porting the overclock klm to the Mecha (and thus, Snapdragon)? I have a friend that said he'd be willing to help me, but both of us are very busy, and having more help would be extremely helpful. Keep me posted.

All the best,

-HG

/Shameless Self-bump/

Is there really no one else who is interested in having full custom-clocking/volting?

I think most people are happy with the control we already have.. not saying your idea is bad but I don't think the average rooter wants to get that involved (though personally I would love it)

Try pming Imoseyon or nerozehl or twisted umbrella
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
I believe that the script rapist has the ability to do that.. look for a thread called twisted playground

Eris/Droid1/Incredible/Rooted Nook/Thunderbolt!!!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HalosGhost:
Good to know about that. However, it is not remotely as powerful as the overclock module. The oC module allows for true custom clocking and volting. That is, you can enter whatever clock rate you'd like (noting that you shouldn't be too liberal with the rates) and you can calculate the vsels on your own to make your phone run and the voltage that you'd like.

It's done through a simple interface, and if gives you the ability to set it on-boot using init.d scripts if your kernel supports them.

I PM'd user Imoseyon. But I think it's likely that I'll be trying to port the module myself.

If anyone has any suggestions/advice, I'd be happy to hear it.

All the best,

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitis:
Hey Guys!!

So I have some question to flashing new ROM's and I would greatly appreciate your answers.So first off I'm going to tell you what I already did do.

Permrooted my HTC DESIRE Z

Flashed CM7

So, now I see plenty of roms here in the android development section and here is are my questions:

1.If I want to flash these roms, do I just have to put them into the root of my SD cart and flash them per clockword recovery?

2.I know that I have to wipe data and cache before flashing, but is there a way to backup my current ROM(So my current homescreen, installed apps,saved messages) in case I don't like the new ROM?

Thanks very very much for your answers!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
Flash any ROM just as you did CM7; as for backing up, which you should always do just incase the flash fails, there's an option to backup your current ROM in CWM. Sadly, it gives the backup a generic date/time name so I'd recommend backing up via RM which allows you to name the backup.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] master.peterm:
use this app titanium backup (pro is preferred)https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&feature=search_result

then redownload it in your new rom and everything should be good....

oh and since your new instead of manually wiping flash superwipe for cleaner installs then install your new rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044992
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
I would also recommend getting titanium backup Pro, its only a few $$ and it batch restores your apps. its a time saver if you flash ROMs often.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyiswhite:
go to rom manager and click back up rom and name it the name of the rom and the date you backed it up

download titanium backup then open that and click batch then backup all apps and system data

then make a folder and call it ROMS and keep all your roms in there so its nice and organized

wipe and all that good stuff

then go back and flash the new rom the same way you did cm7

then install titanium again then click batch then restore all apps system data

if you dont like it just go back to rom manager and click manage backups and click on it and click restore and itll go back to your cm7
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
No, no, no ... Never restore system data unless flashing between like ROMs. You want to backup/restore apps and data (not system data).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
THIS. Do

not

restore system data. The only reason to backup and restore system data is if you're planning on doing a complete wipe then re-installing CM7 (for example if you're trying to fix an issue) and want your settings back. Otherwise, don't backup system data!

Also, there's no need to make a new folder called "ROM's" or whatever. All of your backups will be organized (by date by default, but you can rename them) in the Clockwork Recovery folder on your SD card. Its best not to mess with these files (you can remove them and put onto your desktop if you need SD card space, but just leave them if you're worried). These backups don't necessarily have to be initiated by ROM manger either, they can be made while you're in recovery also, which saves you the trouble of having to wait for a reboot before wiping to flash the new ROM
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Murrzeak:
Good tip! But I don't see an option to backup apps and data. Just batch app buckup or batch app buckup + system data.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
just hit menu > batch. Then hit "Backup all user apps". That'll back up the apps with the data. Titanium Backup inherently includes the app data with the app backup, it doesn't just backup the plain .apk's.

Also remember that you need to re-backup all the apps before you flash a new ROM, that way the backups are up-to-date with the latest changes you've made to them.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitis:
Wow thanks for all your replies, you guys really helped me out!!

So, If I', allowed to, I'd like to ask if there is a way to get my original ROM back(The one what came with the original phone) on my phone.

And also I want you to ask if CM7 slows my Wifi down, because it feels kind of slower.

Thanks again, you guys are awesome:-)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
If you backed up your stock ROM just restore it, otherwise check the sticky in the dev forum or the wiki to download the stock ROM
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
If you've made a backup with ROM manger (nandroid backup) then you can simply restore this. I'm assuming you didn't if you're asking though. Check the wiki or dev section to find a stock rooted ROM. Make sure you get the stock rooted version, otherwise you're going to unroot yourself.

Have you done speedtests to confirm? This could be any number of issues, and I'm sure you're not the only one who has experienced WiFi slowdowns, but there's no known issue in CM7 that affects WiFi speeds.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitis:
No I didn't, but i saw The wifi Symbol in The notificationbar showing less bars than IT showed me on my stock ROM.

But i assume it's a Kind of Placebo effect because The wofür symbol in cm7 has Overall less Bars to fill then the stock one:-)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Yea, less bars doesn't mean worse signal necessarily. CM7 reports signal with bars pretty accurately, moreso than the stock ROM for sure. If you want to know for sure, run comparative speed tests, or go to settings > about phone > status and see your WiFi signal strength.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyiswhite:
Did I say backups? No, I said roms. When you download roms and put them into a folder called ROMS instead of having them scattered around your SD card. He's asking for suggestions. Not someones opinion on someones suggestion. I'm telling him what I would do. Sorry I don't do everything the way you do it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Settle down. Seriously. Either way there is no need to create a folder for them. I'd be surprised if he had so many ROMs on his SDcard that he couldn't distinguish between them. They're all named appropriately or you can rename them. Also, there's no need to keep the .zip's on the SDcard after you've flashed anyways.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyiswhite:
So say somehow you lose your rm backups and something goes wrong, then you have re download the rom and if you don't have a pc near by, you have to download it from your phone and all of us tmobile users know that downloading a rom uses a good amount of data, so if you wanna download a new one on your phone if you have to, have fun being throttled quicker. A friend of mine had that happen to him, he was ****ed so I let him use my sd card to flash the rom. And I only have glite and the rom I'm running now, I don't have every single rom on xda
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
If you lose your ROM manager backups, chances are you lost your SDcard, which also contained your initial ROM .zip's (aka lose one, you lose the other). Just keep the .zip's on your computer, its wasted space to have the originals and the backups on the same SDcard. Storage space ain't free.

I don't understand why you would download ROMs continuously over 3G when you can simply wait and download on a computer. Who needs to download a ROM that bad that they would be willing to go over their data cap for it? Seems to be a weird use-case, you clearly wouldn't download a ROM on 3G if you were close to your data throttle. I'm sure at that point your current ROM can last you the rest of the day till you get to a computer.

If you're "somehow losing" your ROM manager backups you might have other issues to deal with first.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
So, I've seen that LWP aren't exactly "smooth", but that got me thinking.

I don't need interactivity in my wallpapers, I just want them to move :D

So I tried setting a .gif as a wallpaper, but it doesn't move past the first image.

So the questions is: How can you set a .gif as a wallpaper (so that it moves)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidino95:
You cant ;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
Are you asking about the wallpaper scrolling between homescreens. If yes, GIF wallpapers also scroll.

And the color quality of GIF will be low.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidino95:
No he wants moving wallpaper (with animations) but not "live", in other words he wants to put animation as his wp, so it moves, but you cant interact with it.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
There was an app that did this. It created an "Empty Livewallpaper" and allowed you to put your animated GIF in it, essentially doing what you are looking for. However, it seems to have been pulled from the market. (Obviously, the reviews were not that good)

It's the closest I can think of. More details here:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/wally/de.mobilej.wally.paid
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owner eod:
Wally removed

well wally was removed from market but i found an app called animGIF livewallpaper 2 but, unfortunately you need live wallpaper support so if your looking not for interactiveness on custom roms but just for the looks of a gif id suggest getting that and getting a live wallpaper compatible rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
So far it looks like people have been having wakelock issues (including myself) with our EVO 3Ds, and I've narrowed it down a bit.

For those who know this isn't 3rd party app related, you might want to look at two of the following:

-I've noticed that while ON charger, the phone does not sleep (not that it won't shut the backlight off or anything). Now, I'm not sure if this is done on purpose, software glitch, or some other reason.

-If you turn Best WiFi performance on (settings>wireless & networks>wifi settings>menu>advanced), it won't sleep either.

Now, there are possibly more things that could cause wakelocks, but these are the two I've found while researching. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] xPhantom:
I still experience wake lock even when it is off the charger and when Best WiFi Performance is off.
[HTC EVO 3D] guyandhisdog:
Mine sleeps on best wifi performance
[HTC EVO 3D] -eVo-:
I never used to have issues til til I temp rooted, or ran adw launcher. I just recently started using adw, maybe sense tries to restart itself? I think it was working fine after I temp rooted. So my guess is, alternate laucher?
[HTC EVO 3D] johnequickiii:
I got this text message upon someone leaving a voice message earlier today.

//ANDROID:xxxxxxxxxx has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call 408-970-0000 to listen. MMSN,15f50fe30,2986,V69EhxxlPpO//CM

Anyone else having this issue, and if so, what resolved it, if anything?

I also can't seem to get into my notification options when I call into my voice mail either. Not sure if that's common or not though.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sim-X:
Someone left me a message this morning, it worked perfect. I would force stop it, clear data from the app, update your data profile then reboot and see if it works.
[HTC EVO 3D] johnequickiii:
I gave it a shot, but it didn't seem to work. When I call the number texted to me, it just asks if I'm on a voice SMS enabled phone, but doesn't give me any messages.

I tried the suggestion on the help page through the VVM app, to compose a message longer than 15 sec and send it to activate@vvm.sprint.com. Haven't had an occasion yet to test it again, but once I do, I'll update this with another reply.

Strange though. Through many different phone activations over the years, this is the only time this happened. Really hope I don't need to do a hard reset. If I do, I hope it works. Not like I can nandroid or anything. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] johnequickiii:
Still a no go... Can't figure it out. ; ;

Gonna call Sprint and see what their take is on it. Will report back.
[HTC EVO 3D] jtriplett005:
i am actually having the same EXACT problem!! i have tried for force stop and clearing everything... still getting the same message!! and the VM never shows up in the VVM app!! Thanks for any help!!
[HTC EVO 3D] Sim-X:
I guess that's the only other thing I can think of is a hard reset. If that doesn't work I'm guessing it's something on Sprint's side would have to call in for tech support. I know when you boot up for the first time VM tries to provision itself and will say Voicemail provisioned successfully once data services are active.
[HTC EVO 3D] johnequickiii:
Well... Just got off the phone with support. I had a very determined girl trying to help me out. Went through a whole bunch of stuff, but nothing helped so far.

Her and I both googled it, and found 2 things:

1. People switching to a phone that doesn't have VVM capability receive these messages.

2. They are command messages to tell VVM to download each new message when they come in.

Can't figure out why the messages are skipping the VVM app and going straight to SMS though.

I think I'm gonna try a hard reset later and see if that does it. Hope it does, because I spent some time getting everything the way I wanted it. lol

Anyone think of a good backup app that'll help cut down on the restoring my stuff time? ^^;

ADDITION: The version of my VVM is T.5.1.0.62 Is this the one everyone else has also? Asking just to cover as many bases as possible.
[HTC EVO 3D] ira9700:
Had the the same problem called sprint after about 45 min of trying different things i had to hard reset and they reprovisioned and now it works perfect.
[HTC EVO 3D] johnequickiii:
Hard Reset did it. It was A LOT more painless than I thought it'd be though. That backup and restore thing from google really helped out a lot in getting all my apps back. ^^
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
Also make sure you do not have Handcent's "disable stock messaging app" setting on. When it disables the stock app, the stock app can't get the 9016 incoming VVM messages before Handcent does and will cause this.
[HTC EVO 3D] jtriplett005:
^^^ Worked Perfect!!!! No Hard reset and i did have that setting to ON, Switched it to disabled and tried and works PERFECT!!! THANKS wardfan220 !!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
You're welcome. I doubt it but maybe the Hancent team can find a work around for this. It seems to me that if you disable it it's disabled but maybe they can block all incoming from the stock app except 9016, kind of like a reverse black list (actually they call those white lists don't they?, lol). I'd like to see that happen, but we'll see what the Hancent crew comes up with. I know others have said that other sms apps can do this or something like that, but I like Hancent better than all the others.

Anyways, glad I could help. :p
[HTC EVO 3D] johnequickiii:
My issue's back again. Did have that setting on though, so I'll restart and see if that does the trick. ^^;
[HTC EVO 3D] S_rob7488:
+1 worked for me also! Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] johnequickiii:
You are a genius... Thanks soooo much for bringing us that solution. Fixed it right up. ^^ +1
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
I've been trying to tell my wife that for a long time, maybe I can use this as proof, she keeps saying I'm not that smart. :p

But glad I could help, if I hadn't done it myself I wouldn't have known how to fix it, lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
Use spc app to "block" the text messages but still get voicemails if using Handcent.
[HTC EVO 3D] #Winning#:
Just wanted to pass this on to you guys, as it has always worked for me. I had the Evo rooted with a custom AOSP rom and had used GV as voicemail then decided I wanted Sprint VVM back. When I made the switch everything seemed okay, but when someone called my phone and it went to voicemail it wouldn't let them leave one. Did some reading and finally figured out something that worked.

1. Stop the VVM process in running apps.

2. Clear the data for Voicmail under applications.

3. Dial *38 and call it as you would any other number( You should hear a few beeps and then it should automatically hangup) This has something to do with disabling call forwarding but will allow your voicemail to properly provision itself.

4. Open VVM and it should tell you that it has been provisioned successfully.

You should be good to go after this point, but if it does not tell you along the bottom of phone that it provisioned try this again but reboot before step 4. Some have also said that updating your profile and prl after doing the *38 helps.

Just thought I would share this as I read the comments about a hard reset when they aren't needed. I'm not to sure this would help with the issue described by the OP but hey its worth a shot instead of losing everything. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] vidal9894:
Confirmed: Fix Works for Epic 4G

Yep, I had Handcent Default Application enabled...clearing this resulted in Visual Voicemail back to normal.

Hi.

There is (i think) an easy way to deodex (for ADB users).

First step, download this file who contain they flashable .zip for CWM : Link

Push this zip into your sdcard.

Then, connect you phone with USB, open your cmd.exe and put this commands :

adb shell
su (only if you dont got the "#" sign)
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
rm -r /system/app/*.apk
rm -r /system/app/*.odex
rm -r /system/framework/*.jar
rm -r /system/framework/*.odex
reboot recovery

Put those line ONE by ONE for sure to not missing a step (Dont care about Force close on the phone :))

After your phone is reboot on CWM, choose "install zip from sdcard", and choose "XWJPI_deodex_signed.zip", wait few moment, then reboot

Enjoy :)

Thanks to Rudolf for show us the way to deodex :)

Tried the offical froyo update and it got my phone stuck in bootloop...

I was not planning on rooting this device but i will, if i have to, to fix it. I see there are many different ways to root it so i was hoping someone, more familiar with the device, could send me in the right direction to root this phone.

Basically, the device wont boot into android.

i can access the HBoot.

Options:

Fastboot

Recovery

Clear Storage

Simlock

Is there anyway to flash a new rom onto this without being able to boot into the OS?

what do you think? thanks for any help!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrewMullen:
Well, after a few hours of messing around with this... I finally posted the [Q] to yall looking for help, then figured it out a few minutes later!

If anyone has this problem in the future:

1. pull battery

2. replace battery and boot device WHILE HOLDING volume down. This will access "Hboot"

3. use the volume down button to hover over option 3 Clear storage

4. select using the power button

5. hit yes using volume up

enjoy your working device with official froyo update.

I've got a question.

My wifi is not working. I am unable to obtain ip address and connect to my network. I am sure that it is connected with MIUI ROM, because on any other ROM it works fine (custom, stock, CM7, but not MIUI)

I've also tried different modems, kernels in my Galaxy S, and also tried to connect with different routers and even i;ve created ad-hoc network on my laptop.

Have You any idea what to do to resolve this problem?

lack of wifi disqualifies MIUI as my ROM :/
