[HTC Wildfire S] RAWilson100:
rawilson100

I hope I am not unnecessarily repeating stuff everybody knows already. I am rather a techno-idiot, so if I am, please accept my apologies. I have low-budget older devices, so am usually unable to root devices (ones I have are not popular enough for computer folk to bother to root them). I have had some limited success with terminal commands to move apps to SD cards, but some devices (Amazon Fire) are not compatible. However, after much frustration & sweat, I found that if you can't root & if terminal commands won't move apps to SD card, there are 2 helpful apps to move resistive apps to the SD cards. (As stated above, most native apps will not function properly when moved. There are also maybe 10-12 others I have found which need to remain in internal storage.) The first app is no longer in the Play Store but can be found online--APK Editor by SteelWorks. Various versions are available for your devices. The other app (Play Store) is Apps Movable. Using a combination of these 2 apps (& with the exception of native apps & maybe 10-12 others-including these 2 apps themselves-which must remain on internal memory to function properly), I have been able to cram many more apps (altered to apks by these 2 apps) on my older smaller devices, including Amazon Fire. Hope this helps, folks.

I need it for Incredible 2 Remix ROM. It doesn't come with it.
[Nexus One General] bazzag:
Hello guys, I have pretty much decided to buy a Nexus One since it's the cheapest Android device with decent hardware. However I have a few questions:

1) When it says 'Unlocked', does that mean it'll work anywhere in the world? I don't live in the USA, also I don't care about Edge/3G as I'll be using Wifi most of the time.

2) Can a device come with a locked firmware (i.e Can't be rooted?), or all devices are rootable?

3) What's the difference between those two below. I prefer to buy directly from Amazon and not resellers. First link says it'll be in stock after 1-2 months, second one is available.

- www.amazon.com/Google-Nexus-One-Unlocked-Android--U-S/dp/B00332YPHQ

- www.amazon.com/HTC-Nexus-One-Smartphone-Touchscreen/dp/B0050OV01O
[Nexus One General] Z4buz4:
Hi bazzag,

i've bougth my nexus one two weeks ago from amazon.com and, as you, i don't live in the usa.

1)Unlocked means that you can use it with any sim and you are not locked to tmobile, vodafone or similar. I'm using mine in Italy and it works perfectly.

2)No, nexus one are all equal and rootable. (I recommend you to not unlock the bootloader and use the procedure for rooting without unlocking the bootloader posted on the wiki, so you don't lose your warranty ;)).

3)When i bought mine i had the same doubt :D I'm not sure but one (HTC Nexus One Unlocked GSM Smartphone with Android OS, 5MP Camera and Touchscreen - No Warranty - Brown

) seems to not have warranty, while the other should have it (Google Nexus One Unlocked Phone with Android--U.S. Warranty).

Hope i helped!
[Nexus One General] OJ in Compton:
The difference is the second one has no warranty and is used. First one I am not sure whether it is used or new, but you will only be finding new units from third-party sellers (some sellers fulfilled through amazon). I do not believe amazon ever sold these new directly, as they were only available from google and some t-mobile stores.

Most of them are unlocked, but some of the carrier specific models are branded and locked to their networks. It's still possible to root and unlock these, but it might also be worth checking with the seller in an email if this is unlocked&unbranded or a carrier-specific model. There are also 2 versions of the phone, one with 3G on the 850/1900/2100 bands and one with 900/1700/2100. Regardless if you're going to use the data connection or not, if you want to take advantage of the better voice quality 3G brings you can check which bands your carriers of choice use.

The U.S. warranty requires you to send your phone to the states, and you should be aware of some hardware faults-the power button can fail due to a poorly designed connection, and 2 of the phones I and a friend have owned developed symptoms where the phone would go into a rebooting cycle when it got to a certain temperature. I would send an email to the seller you're buying the phone from and asking if the phone is used/refurbished/new and what their return policy is if you get a lemon.

That being said, I'm still using a replacement I got from HTC, and I don't have any idea what phone can replace it in the future. It's definitely one of the best android phones for the price.
[Nexus One General] bazzag:
Thanks for the replies so far. :)

Z4buz4, can you tell me which one of the links I posted did you buy? And from which 3rd party reseller? Would really appreciate it. :)

OJ, you can buy them directly from Amazon (On the right menu, choose Amazon when adding to cart). I doubt that Amazon sells used stuff, so I'm betting it's a new sealed device.

It's good to get more feedback though, shipping it back to the US would cost a fortune, so I need to make sure I'm getting a good one.
[Nexus One General] Z4buz4:
I've bougth the first one (the one with us warranty) directly from amazon and of course it was new. Mine is a SLCD one, if you wants to know it ;)
[Nexus One General] KROMO50:
ok all the ones on Amazon are new but they do not have a US warranty on them. Also they are all SLCD they and are for Canada. I bought 4 of them and returned all bc they are all Canada warranty. It is Video Tron in Canada that is what htc America said after i gave them my IEMI #..
[Nexus One General] bazzag:
Alright, looks like I'll be buying the one without the warranty, since I don't need it anyway. In case it was defective, shipping back to the US would cost me around $70! So yeah I'll be gambling here but I still want to get the phone. :)

I've got 2 more questions:

- I'll probably get one with SLCD. I know that AMOLED has more vibrant colors, however in reality how much difference are we talking about?

- Which decent and reasonably priced case and screen cover you guys recommend?

Thanks again.
[Nexus One General] FastMhz:
1) My first Nexus was AMOLED which I thought was fine but after I recently purchased a new Nexus with SLCD. I notice the font are much smoother around the edge. I don't really care to much about the dark is darker. I care more about clarity in image and text when websurfing which is why I prefer SLCD.

2) As for case, I went with Seidio Innocase II. I had it the first time around and after I got another Nexus I bought it again. I am not using a screen protector because the case is difficult to slide with just a thin layer of plastic.
[Nexus One General] gimiento:
Second this. Have had this case on my N1 for over a year. Great protection, with hardly any extra bulk. (And I've never felt the need for a screen protector.)
[Nexus One General] abd-hamdan:
if you want a brand new 100% go to expansys USA
[Nexus One General] mysaturdayself:
does the one with the US warranty come with a microsd card?

mine just arrived today and I can't find one in the box
[Nexus One General] Z4buz4:
IHMO amoled and slcd are both very good. If you want to see the differences between them this is probably the best article you can find (htc desire and nexus one use the same screen):

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/13/spot-the-difference-htc-desires-slcd-versus-amoled/

When i bought myne i also bought a screen cover and a silicone case. I've never use it :D I think that the best case is the one inside the box: it's a nice neopreme case (you can spot it on youtube if you search nexus one unboxing) with an android on it.

The screen is made of glass and it is scratch resistent (look at this video :eek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfqwKa4bT74).

It should be in the mobile... Open the cover and see if you can find it :D
[Nexus One General] mysaturdayself:
nope.. I thought it should be in the phone too.. but nope

guess have to deal with customer service.. fortunate i bought from Amazon itself. shouldn't be a problem

ps. the slcd is indeed better in text but the amoled is better in color i think. (especially the dark color)
[Nexus One General] joshua.justice:
So all the phones off amazon are new?? And has anyone bought the one for 269$?
[Nexus One General] superkid.net:
i did and is new. in a sealed box :)
[Nexus One General] KROMO50:
Yes they are new coming with everything. The price went up on those phones used to be $249
[Nexus One General] FlyingToilets:
I am very interested in replacing my aging HTC Dream as well and have been looking at the nexus one. I'm on the rogers network in Canada though and apparently not all of them work on the rogers 3G network..? I was just curious if anyone knew if either of the two on amazon will work for me, thanks.

Nevermind, I looked into it more and neither of them look to be the AT&T version.
[Nexus One General] mysaturdayself:
I was doing the same thing now that I need to switch to ATT

I emailed amazon customer service to ask him check the version of their inventory (through the FCC id)

he said he will email me back in 2-3 business days. :)

[Xperia Play General] jkr284:
download tigermame from the market which plays all cps2 roms!
[Xperia Play General] icebear8:
or get FPSE (ps1) and rip the game to your phone
[Xperia Play General] yoyoman2:
I'm a bit giddy to see that my video found it's way here that damn fast :p

Anyway, it's actually pretty simple and easy stuff... TigerArcade from the Android Market.
[Xperia Play General] Gilgamesh1:
I searched on the market but can't find any of the apps listed..anyone have a link to it for the market?
[Xperia Play General] yoyoman2:
wtf? it used to be at this link

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tiger.game.arcade2

now it's not.

Oh well... minor obstacle... guess you'll just have to get the APK. Latest version is 1.4.4

I'm not sure if I can link to it.
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
You may want to ask Google "Where Are Tigers".
[Xperia Play General] ryocoon:
I know that a lot of the emulators disappeared a bit ago.. however asking people to do a search for "Where are Tigers" would likely give off articles on Southeast Asia or India. :p ^_^ (real tigers, instead of Tiger emulators)
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
I used FPSE then purchased rom fetcher: playstation, to download marvel vs capcom

i highly recommend rom fetcher for people who dont no how to get roms the traditional way or cant be bothered
[Xperia Play General] Gilgamesh1:
Can you pm me the link please? Thanks
[Xperia Play General] Gilgamesh1:
Ya rom fetcher rocks...just wish it had SNES roms.
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
ehhh the PSX version of Marvel vs. Capcom is the worst version...

Is Tiger Arcade being pulled from the market? Daaang....

EDIT* looks like all the Tiger apps are gone....
[Xperia Play General] Red_Kop:
All Tiger Apps here:

http://apps.tigerplay.net/

They are free, there is no need to hide.

Be warned though, latest version of TigerArcade (which runs Marvel vs. Capcom perfectly) does not have save states, and the old version with save states does not work.
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
Any reason why they are there and not on the market anymore?
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
Probably the same reason yongzh's emulators got removed. Complaints by the game companys? They probably will be bringing out there own versions or something similar i guess?
[Xperia Play General] naivri:
It was dark all around.

There was frost in the ground

When the tigers broke free.
[Xperia Play General] gwaine:
Oh word?...
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Absolutely doubtful. Sega, who allegedly had yongzh's emulators pulled, has not announced any plans to release anything for Android. I'd point at Gameloft who has certain interest in the XPlay but just don't want competition for the new games from the emulated ones.
[Xperia Play General] yoyoman2:
If Gameloft wants to push out something original to compete with what we'd be emulating, they're more than welcome to.

Based on their other near-IP-theft jobs, I think they'd be the best candidate to try re-creating MvC... or some 2D fighter that brings mobile phone gaming out of the touch-screen-limited ghetto.
[Epic 4G General] Nerva:
I made a crude attempt at removing the shutdown sound from SRF by simply deleting the file. However, the sound effect continues to play when I shut down.

After taking the time to research the procedure, I see I was supposed to make a copy of the directory with a blank ogg and then rename the old directory. However, when I do this, it still plays the old sound effect.

I did a search of the phone and was unable to find any shutdown.ogg files that have sound in them. Am I right in thinking that if an in-use system file gets deleted, the system does not actually delete the file, and somehow keeps it hidden and continues to use it? Is there a way to get the file back?

Is there a way to fix the shutdown.ogg on my current phone setup, or do I need to reinstall SRF and follow the proper procedure?
[Epic 4G General] Ron_91:
The way I did it was copy and overwrite a blank shutdown.ogg through root explorer then restarted the phone. Not shutdown, but restart. The sound effect didn't get a chance to play so when it rebooted it loaded a blank file.

Running srf1.1.
[Epic 4G General] MeetFace:
You need to make sure the file explorer you are using has root privileges, otherwise it will appear to be deleted but nothing will happen.
[Epic 4G General] Nerva:
Yeah I was using Root Explorer -- and it says it has superuser permissions when I start it up.

OK, I tried restart rather than shutting down... still doesn't work. When it reboots, I try shutting down and it still plays the sound. I also tried yanking the battery.
[Epic 4G General] Nerva:
OK, I figured it out.

SRF has the shutdown sound in \system\media\audio\ui\Power_off.ogg. When I overwrite that file with an empty ogg, the shutdown sound is gone.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majin101:
i had same problem, took it too sprint and replaced my speakers.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 4real*leb:
First off I take no credit for any of these instructions!! I did not make them and they were found at another area of the forum, I just thought since I used them to deodex my OLYEM_U4_2.2.3 that they may be of use to someone.

P.S. For step 5 there was no guava.odex, so if nothing show's up don't worry about; and I also changed the mount codes for step 10, these were out of my experience and just made things quicker.

You must be rooted!

Get xUltimate here.

Process:

1. Unzip xUltimate v2.2, and launch "Main.exe"

2. If everything goes well xUlt should recognize the phone and make a connection. You now should see a list of options.

3. Run option 1. After option 1 is done, run option 2.

4. Now these well take a while. Run option 3.

5. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "guava.odex". It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process.

6. Now run option 4, and wait.

7. Exit xUltimate, and put the phone in USB mass storage.

8. Go back into the xUltimate folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app", and move them to the root of the sdcard.

9. Put the phone in PC mode

10. Open a command prompt, and do the following:

adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot

And especially Xeudoxus: For letting me a guinea pig, for xUltimate, and answering my questions. And also for the making the xUltimate tool. It defiantly makes thing easier.

I get a virus warning Trojan when I downloaded the file, anyone else get this. I'm using Norton Antivirus.

Update:

The developers notes this on the OP. Figured what the hell and went ahead and tried it out. But when i press 3 i get "java" is not recognized and an internal or external command operable or batch file. So in english this means? I need Java SDK installed?

Update2:

I installed Java. And now everything seems to be working.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hexxor93:

Did anyone choose differently? I'll try 32 bit as I wait for a response.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hexxor93:

But it looks like you copied and pasted the entire block. I did it line by line and only rebooted at the end (after my second attempt to copy those files).

[Atrix 4G Android Development] hexxor93:
Might help if the steps were rewritten a bit better. If you soft bricked your phone, you likely missed one of the steps or something was wrong to start with. I got a couple of files that didn't deoxde right as well, just left it and everything worked fine oddly enough. Try restarting your phone and redoing the whole process, might make a difference
