Was an entirely separate thread for this necessary?

I think you could have probably combined this question with your "what kind of themes r there for miui?" post, like this...

"what kind of themes & Mods r there for miui?"

Did you even bother looking in the inspire themes section? Or in the main Android themes section?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Carlrobling:
There is an entire thread for this in themes and apps section. Try using the search function. And really you don't need all the post it just clutters things up.

All about the battery life has anyone tested these three kernels in detail.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Ron Overdrive:
Because of the slight variance in hardware on the Shift its very much a YMMV situation. For example, everyone raved about bcnice's kernel how it gave huge gains battery life, but for me it gave me the worst battery life. Before Nightly #88 ScaryGhoul's kernel gave me the best battery life.

so what does it mean to add adb to your path? thats holding me back from temp rooting on my mac. Im a total adb noob clearly.
[HTC EVO 3D] ranger61878:
The easiest way to explain it is that you can run ADB from anywhere...do a search and you can find a more detailed (and more proper) explanation and directions on how to set it up.
[HTC EVO 3D] vboyz103:
What OS are you using?
[HTC EVO 3D] Smac7:
mac

______________
[HTC EVO 3D] ranger61878:
Like I said, do a search on XDA...there's a great guide on how to set up ADB properly. I'll link to it tomorrow when I get on the computer.

-- Sent from my 3VO Shooter --
[HTC EVO 3D] vboyz103:
If you use mac, open a Terminal, and you should be at your home directory and type:

nano ~/.profile

if the .profile doesn't exist yet, then you'll see an empty.

Put this into the file

PATH=$PATH:/path/to/your/android/platform-tools

export PATH

save and exit out of Nano, and type:

source ~/.profile

then after this type adb and if adb is in your PATH then you see adb help.
[HTC EVO 3D] eugene373:
Overview Of Permissions via ADB SHELL

Example = drwxrwxrwx

To Check Permission at anytime in ADB just Type:

ls -l

The First character defines the Directory, Link, Binary.

Below are some examples

Example = d---------

d = Directory

l = Link

b = Binary

The next 9 characters define the file permissions. These permissions are

given in groups of 3 each.

The first 3 characters are the permissions for the owner of the file or directory.

Example = -rwx------

The next 3 are permissions for the group that the file is owned by.

Example = ----rwx---

The final 3 characters define the access permissions for everyone not part of the group.

Example = -------rwx

There are 3 possible attributes that make up file access permissions.

r - Read permission. Whether the file may be read. In the case of a

directory, this would mean the ability to list the contents of the

directory.

w - Write permission. Whether the file may be written to or modified. For

a directory, this defines whether you can make any changes to the contents

of the directory. If write permission is not set then you will not be able

to delete, rename or create a file.

x - Execute permission. Whether the file may be executed. In the case of a

directory, this attribute decides whether you have permission to enter,

run a search through that directory or execute some program from that

directory

In addition to the file permission, you can also modify the owner and

group of the file. The chown program is used here and its syntax is very

simple. You need to be the owner of a file or root to do this.

Understanding Owner Permissions:

The first command is for owner ID, the Second Command is for Group ID.

exp. root.root ( First Root is owner, Second Root is Group ).

Chmod 644 some file, Like Build.prop For testing & then Veiw the Resulted Changes!

Refer to the table below as a quick reference.

Command Line for Both would look like this

chmod 644 build.prop = -rw-r--r--

\/

Chmod Guide

0 - ---

1 - --x

2 - -w-

3 - -wx

4 - r--

5 - r-x

6 - rw-

7 - rwx

SH Chown Guide

\/

chown root.root build.prop

root.root = Root

root.shell = Shell

Busybox SH Chown Guide

\/

chown 0.0 build.prop

0.0 = Root

0.2000 = Shell

I'll update the chmod with more with More Complex Commands Later

Side Note:Always set owner ( chown ) before Setting Permissions ( Chmod )!

Hope this Clears up things & is Helpful to everyone

Add adb to your path in Windows.

As has been explained above all it does is allowing your adb to be called out from any location.

To set it in windows you will need to add path to your adb.exe file to your PATH in widows XP or CLASSPATH in windows7.

You can find it in start->contro panel->system->advanced.

There is a tab called "Inviromental Variables".

Click on that tab and new window will pop up. New window has 2 field in it. We are interested in bottom field called "System variables".

Windows XP user should look for line with variable "Path".

Click that line and choose edit below. New pop up will apear and you can edit path line in there. You should add path to your adb.exe to that line.

Example.

I did install windows sdk in c:\android\android-sdx-windows so my adb.exe file is in that folder. I did add path to that folder in "Paht" line of system variables. Add path to your adb.exe after semicolon.

;c:\Location\of folder\where you have\adb exe file\

Save changes, apply them. Now you can use call for adb commands from any location.

Widows 7 users.

Same changed need to be appied as for Windows XP.

There is only one difference that that path in Inviromental variables in windows7 is called "CLASSPATH".

Rest is same. Just add the path to folder containing your adb.exe file to CLASSPATH line and you would be able to use adb in any location.

Hope this make sense and will help.

My mac keeps sayin no device but I can access adb from anywhere basically its in my path but won't pick up my phone

Make sure your phone is in debugging mode.

ADB won't see phone if debugging is not enabled.

[HTC EVO 3D] agat63:
I'm a windows user.

Can't think of anything else.

Sorry.
[HTC EVO 3D] vboyz103:
If you have USB debugging turned on, you should see a triangle with exclamation mark on task bar. Secondly, try to do this:

adb kill-server => kill off current server first

then

sudo adb devices => u need to enter password

Basically, you are running adb with escalated privilege, sometimes it needs root access.
[HTC EVO 3D] snoopy1e11:
This is Wat I got
[HTC EVO 3D] vboyz103:
hmmm interesting...just wondering if you have your device turned on to be disk usage instead of just Charge Only?

Check on your desktop to see if you SD card had mounted, not sure if it makes a difference but worth a try. Another thought is that maybe your USB port doesn't work?? Did you check your phone to see if you have a triangle with exclamation mark in it on the task bar? (to the left)

Also, try it on a different computer if u can, and if it still doesn't work, afraid urs is defective.
[HTC EVO 3D] snoopy1e11:
I really appreciate ur help I re did the sudo command and hit "adb devices connect" and my device popped up

I have been thinking of switching to a BAMF 3.0 GB rom, however rumors say official GB will be out soon... What are you thoughts? Wait or switch now, I just don't have the time to change roms as frequent like some people do.

EDIT: THANKS GUYS FOR ALL YOUR INPUT IT WAS VERY HELPFUL, I AM GOING TO MAKE THE JUMP TO SENSE 3.0. I LOVE THE BAMF REMIX I HAVE NOW SO IM HOPING ILL LOVE THE 3.0 EVEN MORE. YOU KNOW THAT BAD NEWS TRAVELS FASTER THAN GOOD NEWS, SO IT WAS GOOD TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING THE ROM INSTEAD OF READING POSTS WITH ISSUES.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj2566:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmx5656:
Well i wouldn't go OTA, but when an offical GB is released you know developers will use that to build roms off of, instead off of a leaked version.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam_s_85:
Personally, I would go ahead and download and install bamf 3.0 for the simple fact that it has most of the aspects of gingerbread AND sense 3.0. Also, when gb is released, they will update the rom to incorporate anything that was missing.

So I just picked up a couple of WM phones HTC743 and an AT&T Tilt 2.

I've been using one of the early windows smartphones for a number of years just for the the contact manager because it uses activesynch nicely with Outlook. Too damn small for any network access though.

I'm not terribly interested in a big data plan for a lot of internet access. I might pickup my email and surf a bit while I'm traveling though. I had wanted to use the wifi for that.

Th HTC s743 gave AT&T a bit of a startle because the didn't know what it was.

It's functioning but even though I have Data Conn. turned off it still manages to automatically turn on once in a while. I see daily very low volume charges even though everything says I'm accessing via WIFI.

I just plugged the simm into the Tilt 2 and though I haven't called AT&T as yet about this phone it did allow calls in and out but I can't seem to get the internet connection working even though wifi shows as being connected. It takes a long time for it to connect compared with the S743.

So ... is there a way to use either of these phones via wifi only?

Just turning off the Data Conn. on the s743 doesn't seem to completely work. The pre loaded GPS app appears to automatically turn Data Conn. back on. I know it does this if wifi & Data Conn. are both turned off.

A neat little AT&T billing trick?

From what I have read on here I think I maybe screwed on the TILT 2.

It also appears that until I register the Tilt 2 with AT&T my WIFI internet surfing just isn't going to work or do I have something else wrong?
[Networking] niraj411:
I just have Data off, and no Data plan, but I'm using a android phone. I'm using the HTC Aria.
[Networking] staatsof:
I was able to fix the S743 by just deleting the "APN"? in the configuration menu. I can always reload it quickly from AT&T if need be. But that phone also let's me pick between AT&T or Tmobile so I think it's more flexible to begin with. It's WM6.1 whereas the AT&T Tilt 2 is WM6.5 and there's no such configuration page where you can download the network configuration from AT&T. I've looked but maybe I missed something?

I also can't get this phone to work on WIFI either yet.
[Networking] random1234:
If you can, just change a character in the apn. This will stop it connecting, and it will let you easily switch it back on by changing it back if need be :)

Looks like MoboPlayer is the best one currently. AFAIK, none of them support ASS, ordered chapters or FLAC (MoboPlayer supports it but it appears to be buggy) in MKV.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj2566:
If you can get into recovery, wipe EVERYTHING (data/cache/dalvik). Then mount USB and put a rom on your SD. Flash that. If you tried to fix permissions BEFORE you installed a ROM, then you kinda skipped a step mate.

DO NOT RERUN THE ROOT METHOD. IF you have S-OFF, jut flash a ROM

thank you for the quick reply! so there is some hope for this thing then, woohoo!

yes i have wiped everything you mentioned. how does one mount usb from that menu? from within recovery? i saw a usb option on that (is it called bootloader?) is that what your speaking of?

now as a rom i DO have the gingerjane rom from jcase on there somewhere, is that safe to flash on there to fix this? thanks again!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
If you have access to recovery (as you said you do) just load it, wipe, and flash any Thunderbolt rom you put on your sdcard (or already have in your case). Whether the rom you flash will fully works or not depends on whether it is compatible with your current radio.

But as long as you have access to recovery, you are set.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M@|ice:
it booted! thank you both.

now im positive the root failed but it says s-off and superuser does show in the app drawer. im gonna try to d/l rom manager since its not on here anymore and see if it works.
