[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
Does this include the official 4.5.91? So many warnings about hard bricking since people flashed it.
[Atrix 4G General] humjaba:
From what I can tell, hard bricking only occurs when you use RSDLite to flash an older motorola SBF once you've gone to gingerbread. But someone else should chime in on that one - I never got a notice for an OTA update.
[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
I didn't either. I downloaded a .zip and installed via stock recovery from a thread in the General Atrix forum.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Nope, this one is the completely safe one.

Kennethpenn said:

"These are completely safe to flash. They don't mess with your bootloader like the OTA or SBF."

In the thread.
[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
Just to clarify. I can NOT proceed to unlock my BL. Is that correct?
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
What firmware did you flash? Can you link me to the thread you downloaded from?
[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1159604
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Ah you have the deadly firmware :(

You simply cannot use RSD to flash down to 1.83 or 1.26 etc.

Or you will brick.

Clarify in Q&A, make your own thread with your question.

Taken from this thread kennethpenn said:

"What if I already flashed the official 4.5.91?

If you flashed the official update from XDA or by downloading through a dev-blur server (note: this excludes this ROM), you should avoid flashing SBF files in RSD Lite. We've confirmed this problem exists when users flash the 1.8.3 build specifically. It may happen with other SBF files, though."

So it looks like you can flash 2.3.4 builds via CWM. But double check by asking in Q&A.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Check out this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1163009

Fruit cakes basically dont touch your bootloader, they're basically modified sbf files that only contain the needed files to flash stuff. There's a 1.8.3 fruitcake in there as well as a 2.3.4 fruitcake.

An HKTW fruitcake is in development.

Fruitcake is the .sbf equivalent file that is flashable via CWM.
[Atrix 4G General] humjaba:
The big question is this - can you RSDflash the unlocked bootloader SBF by itself once you have the firmware of death? Once you have the bootloader unlocked, everything is gravy.

I don't know the answer :(
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
theres the moto-fastboot file i was looking for!

much appreciated.
[Atrix 4G General] demck85:
Now there's a guide

I just did this like 3 hours before this guide came out. Though it at least seems like I was going to all the right threads that are in this guide anyways.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
From my understanding, if you flashed the official firmware of death you CANNOT use RSD in any way. All of your flashing has to be done via CWM and fruitcakes. Full .sbfs will brick your phone. Hard brick. As in #@$% ME hard brick.
[Atrix 4G General] SoberGuy:
Weren't there some reports of issues restoring via TB after flashing Ken's beta 4.5? I'd have to search through his thread, but I thought it presented an issue or two.
[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
So I guess no sweet Roms for me. Still haven't found a good thread to root my phone. I'm not sure if the FOD would mess with the rooting part of it.
[Atrix 4G General] humjaba:
I chose the batch "Restore missing apps with data" option from Ti Backup and it worked flawlessly.
[Atrix 4G General] SoberGuy:
Perhaps it was settings then and not apps. Appreciate the information. I'll be doing that tonight ;)
[Atrix 4G General] lsxrx7:
after i unlocked the bootloader

i flashed CWM

then i use CWM to flash 2.3.4 GB beta 4 zip from kenn

i like it better my way
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] syrenz:
Does anyone have a working apk of the google camera found on stock android? I've tried a few apks floating around XDA but none seemed to work for XT720.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Here you go.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] syrenz:
Hmm... that says Moto in it. I'm looking specifically for the stock google made camera app. Like the one found on the nexus S or one I mean.

Sorry :embarrased: Really appreciate the efforts though. :p
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] easye420:
Have you tried ripping one From a milestone build Or do they use camera From motorola on there cyanogen builds. Try ripping one From a cm6 build. Theres prolly some editing involed tho. And what's the benefit of the AOSP camera over motorolas? Personal preference?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] syrenz:
I like how the interface on the AOSP one looks, wanted to see how it actually functions. The Motorola camera isn't bad.

I tried an apk that someone took from a CM build I think but it didn't work, needs some deodexing or w/e which I don't know how to do. I'll see if I can find one from the milestone though, that's a good idea.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] 3rdstring:
I pulled this from a Droid X theme. The Mms & Music (Mod) worked but I never tried the camera.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] syrenz:
I tried to download from my phone but I got download unsuccessful (this content is not supported on this phone).

Thanks anyways :)
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] easye420:
Use astro file manager, then preferenes then at the bottom select enable browser downloads. Then you can download it.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] syrenz:
I did download and put it on my sd card from computer after I posted that but installation was unsuccessful.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] mchlbenner:
OK you need a system app remover here's the trick put in your system app backup and restore it as a system app.and it should work the camera look neat.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Frisbee6:
Could you explain further, im a newb. I deleted the moto camera using system app remover, but how do i restore the stock android camera from an apk?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nulador:
I have a Samsung galaxy S i9000 with gingerbread 2.3.4 installed and rooted and nothing else installed.

When i go in to gallery to view my pictures and i swype to go from one to the next one it does not move smooth like it did in froyo it`s not a fluid move its a interrupted movement. Did not have this problem on froyo. i re-installed the os powered off the phone stopped most apps and services but the problem did not go away. Any suggestions ? It did this before and after i rooted it. did it on fresh install of 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 on 2.2 froyo did not had this problem. Any suggestions ? except the one that says go back to froyo ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killersilver:
Well, just a suggestion, use Picturen Lite or Quickpic.

I know this doesn't actually answers your question, but the stock gallery is not that great.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smiffyboots:
I use QuickPic. It's without doubt the fastest and least cluttered gallery app out there. It's free but would pay for it! Give it a try :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artisticcheese:
Wondering if some people are not affected by battery jumping issues (defined as battery % available is higher after the reboot compared to before reboot).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsaia:
As far as I can tell I'm not. Seems like a normal, steady decline with regular usage.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artisticcheese:
You are on Gingerbread, right? Can you reboot your phone and see if you have % continue where it left off.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milesjohnson:
I'm having battery issues as well. It jumps drastically after reboot. I'm on HKTW and I was wondering if the official gingerbread would fix this but I wasn't gonna waste my time if the battery issue still remained
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artisticcheese:
It affects all Gingerbread versions from what I have read so far, so that's why I'm asking if somebody on Gingerbread is NOT having issue to find out what they did or do differently from rest of us not to have this issue. My battery just jumped after reboot from 26% to 89% available.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanstorm:
I'm on Kens GB 4.5.91 and battery works fine. I did use Battery Calibrate after install. I am actually getting better battery life too.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artisticcheese:
So you if you reboot your phone your new battery reading is continues from where you left off? I did all battery calibration things and none helped.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsaia:
Ok. Had 50% before booting and now 80% after.

I've only rebooted once since jumping to stock gb. Then, I think I was somewhere around 60% at first then 90% after boot. I originally chalked that up to the battery calibrating itself as the battery was crappy after the upgrade and got better after the reboot. I'll keep a closer eye on it from reboot to reboot.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanstorm:
Well I take back what I previously stated. I guess I am having battery issues. I just rebooted and battery monitor jumped 14% after reboot however it showed a decrease in the Mv available (4039 to 3998). I was much happier thinking I had working phone lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicksDevouredByTheSkyline:
So im running eVil D:'s sense 3.0/3D glacier rom, and honestly, I really dont like the look of the built in messaging app. Could I like take the Messaging.apk and the messagingCS.apk files from the (lets say something like the droid x/or droid) and there data and put them in the system folder and delete the other ones? Or would that totally f*ck up my phone?

The other thing is, I dont want to download the clients (a.k.a chompSMS or goSMS) I hate the look of them..

"Thanks for the help in advanved"
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
You could theme the messaging app yourself by pulling the .PNG files from drawable-hdpi in the apps Res folder. But unless the Droid has the same native screen resolution and same libs etc it probably wouldn't work.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicksDevouredByTheSkyline:
What app should I use to do this?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
winrar or 7zip to extract and photoshop or gimp to edit
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
There's not really an app for this, and it's not a "smash 'n grab job" by any means. There are better probably more-detailed instructions lying around somewhere and you'll have to search for them, but you're basically looking at:

1. Pulling the apk files off your phone

2. Extracting said apk files

3. Altering the png files in the res/drawable folders

4. Repackaging it or otherwise making it possible to push the new files to your phone in place of the old ones

I personally find Go SMS has lots of customization options and suits me pretty good.

So I made the switch from the DInc to the Sensation... The Phone arrived today ( Took advantage of the FREE deal they had going on last week)

Blazing Fast phone, with alot of potential...

Can't wait to see what devs make this phone do.

Just wanted to thank all the Devs on this forum, All the Trolls for providing laughs here and there, and to everyone else for giving so many inputs on posts... ( i read like 40 pages of posts before i decided to try any ROM that was made for the INC)

It was a wonderful year with this phone, but it is time to move on.

Good luck to you all! and Thanks for providing me with more knowledge on Rooting, Modding, and troubleshooting.

Goodbye. :)

In most cases yes you will loose root in any OTA update so you may have to wait. Root with a custom ROM and you will not have to worry.

If you are posting in this section or the WP7 section then you didn't brick your phone. If you are posting in the WinMo 6.5 section then you may have.

You can't brick your phone doing anything Android related.

Flashing task29 then magldr will solve your issue, then just reflash your Android ROM.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
you can't brick your phone flashing Android or WP7 because magldr is flashed over HSPL and you can always get into HSPL provided you didn't do something wrong from HSPL like flashing a bad radio or something. If your Android ROM is fubar you can always reflash magldr from HSPL.

Sorry about your friend and your own phone, but you are either experiencing bad Android ROMs,. kernels, or hardware issues with the phone itself.

Just some overclocking for the video (for the rest I don't OC)

When I get time, I will post more videos....

Next one: New gps video (the ones on my signature are OLD)

First video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HInp0AYRGTM (this is strill the old video, which will be replaced soon)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] frankic:
I am very impressed with the Flyer so far. You need to own one to appreciate just how good HTC made this tablet. You know there is a but coming.....but the lack of Honeycomb and the price is giving me second thoughts. I can pick up the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for the same price with updated Honeycomb. I know the Flyer may be getting honeycomb and it looks like it may be months away. I like the 7" form factor and portability but with all things considered is it better to just get the Samsung and jump on the Flyers next version? This is tuff..... any ideas?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Farsquidge:
Ha ha, I can't believe you are asking others to make a choice for you!

I hope you are not still wearing the same underwear because you needed your Mom to tell you when to change them! :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] frankic:
Yeah, my Mom is not around and neither was yours so I decided to use the forum for some guidance. It's always good to surround yourself with other views. You never know what you might learn.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] goenieg:
I say get the tab.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
The 10" form factor feels like a completely different device to me. If your mostly using it for couch surfing, the larger screen is nice. But for portability (or lack of it, compared to the Flyer) is going to feel very different. And while the plastic backing on the Galaxy Tab helps keep the weight down, it also makes it feel less high end than the aluminum unibody on the Flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] frankic:
Good point. The portability is best thing going for the Flyer. I have the iPad2 and have rarely touched it since getting the Flyer. The costs being the same as the Galaxy 10.1 is making it hard for me to justify the expense especially with the Flyer having no Honeycomb. Thinking maybe getting the Galaxy 10.1 and holding out till 8.9 or HTC comes with a refresh of the 7". Still debating.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] oldpueblo:
If you're considering between a 7 and a 10 then you might as well get the 10. Because you should already know if you want the awesome portability of a 7, there is no debate on which is better for carrying it with you. Think bag or no bag, hands full or pocketable.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] frankic:
I prefer the 7" for sure. At this point I am just contemplating wether it makes sense to spend that much for a 7" when you can have a 10" with updated software. I guess I am wondering wether the Flyer is an Over BUY at the price point in comparison to the Tab 10.1 wich fits the price point for its model.
