[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] avengin:
So read this through before you call me noob, even though i quite am a noob.

I have a p505 i've been doing some mixing and matching with p500 roms and

my backup of the boot img from my p505, and i found out that i fixed the

screen issue and everything when i used the "devoid" rom for p500 and my boot

img. Just it kept shutting down if it wasnt plugged in due to a bettery heat

sensor issue. otherwise it was a totally, clean and working p500 rom on a p505.

Now out of curiosity i went and did a flash of this rom on my p505, i cleared,

dalvik, user data, cache, and battery stats... Now this is where i bet most are

thinking its a stupid idea, and this wont work, well i flashed it anyways...

I didnt have a single issue with this rom on my p505, i take it i was suppose to?

The lg site doesnt label my phone as a p505 but a p505r.. is my phone a hybrid

between p505 and p506? cause if i set up the apn settings for my phone i dont

know yet but i shouldnt have any issues with this rom on my rogers lg p505...

I am not an at&t customer, just to clear that question up.

** So to continue on if the data works, yes i set up the apn, and this p506

rom is working perfectly out of the box on my p505r

now to figure out themes....
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] giandeli:
posting theme later should work for you!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Chadw1985:
i have noticed in a few places where it gives model number in system files on my p506 it says p505. Are these phones really that similar?

[EDIT] I did some research. (which i should have done before i asked the question) and other then a couple drivers and color they are pretty much exact.

Lg Thrive Bricked

Hey. I wanted to know if I can flash this using fastboot or emergency mode. My phone doesnt turn on because of something i did on rom manager so can you tell me please how to flash it without it being able to turn on. Many Thanks in Advance!!!!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ASMAteMe:
Thank you so much for this! I had installed Mikes Cyn rom & my display was completely messed up.. I downloaded this, went into rom manager & choose to install rom from sd card. I went into the recovery mode & it wouldnt allow it because of the signature so I simply disabled that. I installed the rom then without error. After installation I went ahead & deleted the data/case/dalsik etc, basically everything including battery.

I then rebooted from the recovery & the phone restarted.. It took maybe 2 minutes to completely boot all the way through but once it was up it took me straight to the phone settings as if it was a brand new phone to setup everything! I had to immediately give it back to my girlfriend, since it was her phone lol, so I just skipped the setup but once she gets back later I will be able to do that!

This completely saved me! I was so worried that I wouldnt be able to fix the display glitch that I got from installing the cyn rom!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] BigBoyPL:
I think "FOTA" is Firmware over the air. KDZ file is not FOTA just normal update. FOTA files have .up extension ;]
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] raenye:
Are you questioning my choice of name? :confused:

This rom is based on a dump of a P506 updated to 2.2.2 using FOTA.

Having no KDZ around, it's pretty reasonable to call the rom "Stock FOTA".

If this wasn't convincing, feel free to modify the rom and call it whatever you like :cool:

anyone try my new kernel?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] paulo.braga:
Tkanks,

I just install LG Thrive P506 Stock FOTA 2.2.2 v11h and my Thrive works fine.

Now my Igo8 get GPS signal.

Is any way to put or install a Portuguese-Brazil language? This is because my wife is going to use this phone and she doesn´t speek english.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] kickdrum74:
Hello, I am havina problem with my friends thrive. For some reason now that the firmware has been updated, the phone just reboots into recovery not the Rom. This happens when I restore from NAND and when I installed this Rom. I need help please. Any comments or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] raenye:
This is stock deodexed; I guess LG/AT&T didn't put in support for too many languages.

Try installing CM7 for a broader support (and performance).

Did you use Rom Manager itself, or just used it to boot to recovery and do the installation/backup/restore from there?

Does it happen every boot? did you try the usual stuff -- taking battery out for a few seconds, reflashing recovery, reflashing rom?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] s_box:
do i need gapps for this?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] shinobisoft:
I don't think so. I think it's already included since the is a manufacturer ROM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vjudgejr:
Lately since flashing the Synergy rom I've been experiencing random restarts and the browser closes to the home screen without a force close prompt. I switched to MIUI now im on Aosp both with the same problem. Before flashing I perform full wipes is there something I could have done wrong??? Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Streak 5 Accessories] kentt1:
Hi

Dropped my Streak today and the glass shattered (LCD is undamaged). I just want to see if any expert here would know if this (http://cgi.ebay.ca/DELL-Streak-mini...956?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f0b03d81c) will work as a replacement. Are these lower quality than the original ones. I know it say OEM but this is ebay so...

Anyway, thanks for your time and expertise.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Alexanderbooth:
I replaced my screen the other week, cause the LCD broke and the glass didn't. Bought the same thing as that off eBay. Was easy to replace and works a treat. Not sure about with its the same quality. But they look identical :-D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] venhari:
Hi guys! I've read that many people want to have the one application that does two functions: Play music and display song lyric. The application MIUI Music does that kind of stuff and it also shows the lyrics for the song. What I wondered was if it was possible for the app not only to find and show the lyrics, but at the time of downloading the song, at the same time do the downloading of the lyrics, so that not only you can read it while your connected to the internet, but can save it in your phone. If any ideas on an existing app, please tell me. Thanks alot!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cezzarmicu:
PowerAmp does that conveniently... just add the lyrics to a song via itunes or something similar before putting the song into your phone. A simple tap on the album cover while on poweramp will show/hide the lyrics
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eurosport360:
As the title says, I can not hear anything when making or recieving a cal. I can however, when activating the speaker on the side of the phone, hear everything.

I think it could be two things.

1) I just took apart the phone to replace the ribbon cable because it was giving me problems, so I might not have replugged something when reassembling the phone.

or

2) The radio version is either corrupted or not working, and I have not been on the phone scene for over a year, so I do not know the latest version. I am using the very latest version of Energy with sencity (July 4th).

Any suggestions? I can not take calls without everyone hearing it....
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eurosport360:
Anyone??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eurosport360:
Also I updated the Hard-SPL to .72 from .52, and then to .78, and then flashed the latest energy ROM. This is really annoying...

thanks...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sopdogg:
Had the same issue myself but mine was due to the replacing the casing. I forgot to take out the small speaker in the old casing and put it into the new one. It should be located on the backside of where you place your ear (not a good description, sorry!). If you replaced the ribbon only, I think you should take a look at the prongs of the small speakers to see if they are still good. You could possible bend those prongs so they make more contact with the connection.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eurosport360:
Interesting. I guess it might be an internal problem then. Thanks a lot.

I ordered a keypad too, so I will wait for that before I take it apart again. I also need to apply some electrical tape where the internal tape used to be.

All in due time.
[General Questions and Answers] CatalystWon:
I'm looking to buy a pre-owned Samsung Captivate, but this should apply to almost any used phone purchase.

What should I look and test for in a used phone?

I have a starter list. Please feel free to add your comments for everyone to benefit from.

1. Test the phone for Recovery/Download mode.

2. Access internet via WiFi and view something or check your web-based email.

3. Check for water damage - white strips or dots under battery and/or on battery should be white not another color (indicating possible water damage).

4. Check that phone gets signal and can make a call.

5. Check Display

a. Look for screen cracks and scratches

b. Check that all soft keys at bottom work

c. Scroll up

d. Scroll down

e. Try typing

f. Check for dead pixels - how is this done?

6. Check External switches: Volume Up, Volume Down, Power, Camera

7. Check that speaker works

Did I miss anything?

How would I ascertain that it can be unlocked for use on another carrier?

Thank you!:)
[General Questions and Answers] youkai36:
Other things to check:

1. Check the IMEI to verify with the police if the phone was not stolen.

2. Check battery (that it's the original thing not some phoney).

3. If possible check recharging does work,3.5 jack's and other connectors.

4. Check the manufacturing date on the back of the phone (stickers).

More anyone?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jimcpl:
Hi,

I just got an old (original) Motorola Droid from my son. It was was taken out of service, so it's got no phone service, just WIFI. He flashed it to 2.2 before he gave it to me.

Almost everything seems to work ok on it: I can connect to my WIFI network, browse, etc. Market works, Flash works after I installed from Market.

I installed Netflix from the Market, and it starts up ok, but then I get a popup error that says:

"Please make sure that your device has network connectivity and the Date and Time settings are accurate."

and it kind of just hangs the Netflix app at that point.

Does anyone know what the problem might be, and how to get Netflix working in this case?

I'm guessing that it might be looking for a phone network connection or something?

Thanks,

Jim
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jimcpl:
Hi,

My son has a friend with a same (original) Droid, with the same firmware, but his phone is still active on Verizon, and he's able to get Netflix app to work on it.

He (my son) said that he thinks that he has another friend that also has a Droid that's deactivated, and he's going to ask him to try to see if Netflix will work on that.

If that latter doesn't work and get that same error message, I'm guessing that it's, as I mentioned above, trying to connect to Netflix via the 3G, rather than over the WIFI.

Anyone know if it's possible to get the Netflix app to use only WIFI?

I had a similar problem with Sipdroid this weekend when I tried to get that to work. It actually, at one point, connected me to a Verizon operator, presumably over the Verizon wireless network. Sipdroid has a configuration setting that allows you to tell it to use only WIFI, and once I set that, Sipdroid worked ok over WIFI. I think that I need to find some kind of setting in the Netflix app to do something similar.

Jim
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jimcpl:
Hi,

I just got off the phone with Netflix support. I don't know if the person that I spoke to actually knew what he was saying, but he said that the Droid is not "on their list of supported phones", so according to him, it would then try to "connect to their website".

I didn't think that I needed the build.prop changes, because I'm not getting an "unsupported device" message, plus, like I said, my son's friend has it working on his identical (except it's still on Verizon) phone, but I'm going to try some of those build.prop hacks, to see if that makes a difference.

Jim
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jimcpl:
Hi,

For the record, no joy with changing the build.prop. That seems to be ineffective.

So, I'm still stuck on this...

Anyone?

Thanks,

Jim
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jimcpl:
Hi,

I had left the phone on the Netflix error screen and it went to sleep last night, and when I woke up this a.m., and woke it, there was a different msg saying that it couldn't access some web site.

So, I started thinking that it was a firewall problem, and I put the phone's IP address in my router's DMZ, and VOILA!!

Got Netflix !!

[HTC Inspire 4G] mrpurplehawk:
I rooted my inspire the day I got it, but when my screen cracked a couple weeks ago, I flashed the stock unrooted rom so I could go attempt to get my phone/screen replaced. I ended up not getting it replaced ($130 my ass, and it doesnt bother me that much) and just forgot to flash a rom and stuff. I went to do that today and when I go into recovery it gives me the symbol that has the phone and the red triangle with ! inside of it. I then remembered I wasn't rooted, so I used the ace hack kit, like last time, to re root it. the Reverse CID worked but every time I try to downgrade I hit enter then nothing happens, I noticed really fast in the command prompt it flashes that its not known as an internal/external command. Does anybody know a way to get it fixed?

I do not have HTC Sync installed, but I do have its drivers installed. I am running XP

Any and all help is appreciated.

Is there an app or setting somewhere that if I were to download an app that requires wifi. to disable this so that I may use my 4g which would probably be quicker anyway? I'm using cm7
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattsonhistb:
I've read about this problem a lot, I don't think there is a fix.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
It would probably require editing the app itself. That's why some apps that originally only worked on wifi were "patched" by people in the community to remove that block and work over 3g/4g.

I have noticed that if I move an app to SD, it's widget either stops working or disappears from the widgets menu.

Is that suppose to happen?
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
I've noticed that a few of the apps I've downloaded or were looking at do state not to put on SD card if you want the widget to work, so I think so
[HTC Sensation] i.mac:
That's pathetic.

As much as SD storage is flexible, it cripples the phone. :(
[HTC Sensation] Profondo_Rosso:
It's always been like that on every android phone I've owned.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
It's normal on all android phones.

It's a big problem! Surely it can be fixed by google? Can't they save the widget on internal storage and the rest on the SD?
[HTC Sensation] i.mac:
I feel because accessing information from the SD is slower than the internal, widgets won't be as snappy.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Yeah it sucks. I moved ScoreCenter to the SD card and the widget stopped working. Oh well.

That's part of android, did you guys download every app in the market? Can you really not afford to keep a few apps in internal storage... You have a gig of space. WTF
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
SD Card is much slower than NAND..The App will apear much later than you boot your phone..I think NAND space is enough for everyone..So don't move it to SD Card..If you definately install too many apps, you can parition an EXT4 partition..

[Acer Iconia A500] Zen_Jackal:
I (without heeding the warnings) decided it would be a good idea to delete certain apps (including Hero of Sparta, Lets Golf, etc.) once I got my tablet rooted. Luckily, there are two A500's in my household, so I was able to copy the /system/app directory from the other untouched tablet.

Problem is, I can't seem to copy the directory (or any apps from it) into my tablet. I've used both ASTRO and File Manager HD, but in both, the 'paste' command is greyed out. It's as if I don't have the necessary permissions.

So, what's going on?
[Acer Iconia A500] dj898:
did you set the Read-Write permission on that directory?
[Acer Iconia A500] Zen_Jackal:
Post removed
[Acer Iconia A500] Zen_Jackal:
No, thanks for the reminder.

Upon attempting to edit permissions, though, using a terminal emulator, I get an error after typing this:

cd /system/app
chmod 777 /system/app

And the error I get is:

"Unable to chmod /system/app: Read-only file system"
[Acer Iconia A500] dalepl:
Silly question, but do you have your system rooted?
[Acer Iconia A500] Zen_Jackal:
Yes, I do. Using GingerBreak as I'm still waiting on that 3.1 update
[Acer Iconia A500] dalepl:
OK, then try a file explorer like Root Explorer and you should be able to set the rights ro R/W and copy your files over.
[Acer Iconia A500] Zen_Jackal:
Root Explorer worked like a charm. I'm suprised File Manager HD doesn't perform those functions. I got a good feeling when I saw that Root Explorer was requesting superuser permission.
[Acer Iconia A500] dalepl:
Glad to hear that worked. Root Explorer is what I use. Have been for over a year. I think File MAnager HD can also do it, but it is not as straight forward ad Root Explorer. Have fun.
[Acer Iconia A500] fenixjn:
BTW the permission setting 0777 means anyone can access it (or any other application), for the sake of having a better security the permissions should be changed to 445 so only root can access and execute those files (I'm not sure if APKs are considered excutables if they are not the 444 will be the right setting)

cm7 and Netflix issues

I believe this is a CM7 issue, as it only happens with is rom and previous versions but I'm not sure if its FPS or just choppiness but Id like to get this fixed other fixes like chmod 000 have not worked.

On a different note I would like to thank everyone involved with CM7 its by far the best ROM.

Thank You Devs.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unseeablething:
This is also true for embedded flash videos. If I use the chmod 000 it skips if I go above 360 but it works. Older versions don't let me go above 360 because the video menu, it just closes whenever I open it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfro9191:
The one issue that bugs me the most about this ROM is that it does not find my location correctly. Not talking about GPS because that works perfectly, but how I'm found through the network does not work. Google Maps works perfectly at finding my location but apps like fancy widget and even google.com locate me in different places.

I live in Buffalo, NY but my phone insists I move frequently around the world. First I'm in Fort Wayne, IN, then Houston, TX, then Nairobi, Kenya, and sometimes in Lawndale, CA.

Something's wrong and no one seems to have a fix that'll work for me. I'm assuming that's cause no one cares about it because its so miniscule.

Tried different radios and GPS status but nothing has worked.

Fix? Slayher?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayin100:
I am absolutely loving this rom, I flashed it on my girls Droid x and instantly had to have it on my tbolt. GPS works great, more than great, and no other issues except two things.

First, when streaming Pandora or slacker through bt the skip like crazy, but when played through the phones speaker they're fine. No big deal.

Secondly I must be doing something wrong because my battery life is terrible. I have an extended battery that the phone ate through in 8 hours moderate use. And my stock battery is dropping about 30% an hour...

I'm not a noob with screen time out to 10 mins and brightness all the way up, so its got to have something to do with my CPU settings. I'm using set CPU to over clock to 1450. Tried different goveners. I assume there's different kernels out there I'm gonna have to try out, what kernel is included? Running mr2 ota

Try a full wipe before installing 1.2. I believe that was recommended by slayher.
