[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outlawbiker619:
I was using the Swype and I think that was what was causing the problems I experienced. Since I switched to the Gingerbread keyboard it has been smooth sailing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbosix:
editing the build.prop breaks swype (and other signed apps).

you can easily flash to tmobile stock JFD, but you need to read the links posted in this thread.

you can flash the non GB bootloaders and flash back to JFD, then upgrade to stock 2.2 if you'd like.

cant find how to fix this..i have acid icbinb rom..:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] poopypoo13:
Had the same problem

Did you flash the theme that came along with it?

If you did or didn't then boot into recovery and go into advance and do a dalvic wipe than fix permission.

Reboot

Let it sit for 10 mins. !!! Seriously let it sit!!! Do not! I repeat. Do not do anything.

Hope that solves it. I did it and mine works
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goodfellajay:
thx ima try that..will let u know if it works
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goodfellajay:
it worked..i thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] poopypoo13:
Glad it work!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] invario:
Thanks, unsure if it was your suggestion that fixed it, or if it was the fact that I restored a backup of my previous ROM (Black Ice) and then reflashed the Team Acid (Audiophile Redux) ROM. But it's working now!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] maff1989:
Basically what I want to do is take the FRX07 bundle.zip and simply replace that system.ext2 with the one from this build (That's a direct link to the .rar file, btw).

The Sense build comes in system.sqsh form and I have already managed to convert that into a working system.ext2.

My dilemma comes in here.. I need help determining which files I need to replace/modify in the initrd.gz/rootfs/system folder/etc. in order to boot this build with the most current features of FRX07 (rootfs and whatnot).

I have some experience with modifying initrd.gz and rootfs images, but I'm still extremely noobish in the sense that I don't know exactly which coding I must change to get the desired effect.

I appreciate any helpful insight in advance! :)

EDIT: Also, it would be VERY helpful if someone could explain the functions and purposes of the rootfs.img, initrd.gz, and kernel. I have my speculations and assumptions, of course, but knowing for sure gets me a step closer to what I want. :) again, thanks in advance!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] rpierce99:
90% of the work that went into FRX07 is in system.ext2, not anywhere else. Plus the rootfs itself is designed specifically to work with the system.ext2 from FRX07. That's not to say that it's impossible to modify it, but no forum thread will ever tell you all the changes you'd need to make to get that up and running.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] maff1989:
Ohh I see, about the rootfs and the system.ext2. But that's not to say that the work that went into the FRX07 system.ext2 wouldn't be useful for another .ext2 ;)

I know the basics of modifying the system and rootfs and I have a general idea of what needs to be done, so all I'm looking for is sorta a nudge in the right direction. I'm not expecting a to-do list, but a little goes a long way. :)

Plus, I doubt Google would have anything useful on this topic, especially in reference to the Tilt2. Hence, this thread lol.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Couldn't be more wrong. klinux created the Sense build, it was originally called 'rosie' before tiad8 took it and butchered it to make it appear like it was his work...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] maff1989:
Tiad8 doesn't know ****. Pardon the French. But thanks for the suggestion.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] maff1989:
I noticed his skills in butchering.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] taylorhome11:
what base are you using for the sense build? I have a successful build booting. The problem I have is with the sqsh file. If I unsquash it and try to rebuild it I get an error on boot. How did you convert it over? And do you have a working radio?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] taylorhome11:
Never mind. I got it from the first post. That one is really slow port of Hero build. I have one that is a direct port and a lot smoother with the exception of the radio not working. But I am using completely updated rootfs, kernel, and initrd. The ones from xdandroid work just fine. But I use these kernels. I dunno if they are different from the ones directly from xdandroid site.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
That's XDAndroid's repo for kernels... There's a .35 and .39 tree there as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] taylorhome11:

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TCAndroid:
OK, it's probably happened to some people - you're running CM7 from an SDcard installation, the screen is off, and you just pop the card out because you think it's off.

Then the screen comes on, it tries to show a force close message that gets garbled, and then you have to hold the power button to shut it off.

You go to turn it back on, and you can't get the power button to work, no matter how many times or how long you press it.

The solution?

Plug it in to the charger. As soon as you plug the power cable in that's connected to a power outlet, it'll cause the device to turn on.

If you have a stock nook color, and never installed anything on it directly, it'll boot to the default barnes and noble operating system like normal, and then you can power down and put your SD card back in and power up.

I was going crazy and thought I screwed it up permanently, this is the second time i've done this in the last few months, and figured i'd throw this P.S.A up in case anyone else lands in a similar circumstance and thinks it's the end of the world.

That is all.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Just a logical thinking, you are running CM7 off the uSD and why on earth you remove it from the NC while it's running (sleep is considering running)?

Think about your computer at home, Windows 7 OS installed on your hard drive, and while it's in the hibernate mode or sleep mode or whatever, you for some reason, decide to pull it off and expect it awakes normally? :(
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TCAndroid:
Negative, just an absent minded moment with switching back and forth between different installs.

I have a couple of cards with different versions of android, and didn't realize it was on before I went to swap them out.

Wasn't expecting it to run normally after popping the card, but for the life of me could not get it to turn back on the first time it happened, until I plugged the power cord in.

Figured i'd share in case anyone else ended up there and didn't realize they could get it to boot by plugging it in.

[General Questions and Answers] DaRkL3AD3R:
Greetings,

Recently, I'd say about a week or so now, I've noticed an odd glitch in Google Maps that was never present before. It is not consolidated to any phone/rom/kernel/setting as I have tested it on 3 totally different phones now all running variant roms and setups, one not even rooted. So I can easily cross that out as a possibility.

The problem here is that when I used to zoom in close enough that you could see the borders for land plots, there would be a dark black line for the borders. Now it's an extremely faint white thats near impossible to see over the pinkish-white background.

Anyone else have this problem besides me and my family?
[General Questions and Answers] DaRkL3AD3R:
Bumping. I'd appreciate ANYONE on Android opening up Maps and zooming in to test this for me please. It takes <60 seconds and will be great to know if others are experiencing this.
[General Questions and Answers] Maris_:
I just updated to the recent version of Maps and now this seems to be happening to me, if I understand your description correctly. There are thousands of white boxes superimposed over everything, and they don't correctly line up with property borders if that's what they are supposed to be doing. It ruins the view.

I uninstalled the update and things went back to normal. This happened on my phone and my Galaxy tablet. Not sure what's going on. Never happened before.
[Xperia Play General] Deleted member 2488575:
So I would like to know if any progress has been made to unlock bootloaders on simlocked phones? Have donations covered the costs of handsets or do we still need more donations?

Any news?
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
I'm not sure but I believe donations were not meant for bootloader unlocking off sim-locked devices. And that the freeXperia team is not doing research into unlocking these bootloaders out of fear that Sonyericsson will start locking all bootloaders in the future. Now people have a choice between locked and unlocked bootloaders when they buy a xperia play.

I believe I read the above somewhere but I'm not sure.
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
Well that's weak I guess its time to sell this piece of crap then my bloody X10 is able to do more than this phone, if I can't unlock the bootloader in the future to flash custom roms then I'm basically wasting my time with this phone and its going up for sale tomorrow
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Be more cautious with your next five-hundred-dollar purchase. Buy carrier-free, open-bootloader phones, otherwise, as you see, they won't be yours.
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
Oh well I'm not to worried about it I'll just check out something else for now and I hope they make a xplay 2 cause I would definitely buy it its a fun phone I just hoped that they would be able to figure it out but it sound like the devs aren't gonna bother so no biggie I'm able to move on
[Xperia Play General] emann56:
Well in canada thats really hard to come by. There's no way to get an unlockable xperia play for us. :mad:
[Xperia Play General] Deleted member 2488575:
It's strange that the HTC EVO 3D that will be launching on Rogers will have an unlocked bootloader while this phone won't.
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
Wouldn't an imported sim-lock free device work on the rogers network?
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
Yes that would work but I bought mine the day it came out for $550 and wasn't interested in spending 800-900 bucks to get an unlocked version its not even close to being worth that its not even worth the 550 Rogers started it off with

The problem is you're focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.

EXT4 Formatter

A CWMR Wipe Utility

Compatible with Froyo/Gingerbread

Now for Droid Charge!

Original thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090127

FAQ

Q: What is this?

A: This utility is a wipe utility which formats all the important partitions on your phone to the EXT4 filesystem. It also checks for errors, corrects them if they are present, and tunes the partitions for optimal speed/performance.

--

Q: Why would I use this?

A: Some scenarios where this would be useful are wiping data before installing a new ROM, coming from an older ROM (e.g. Froyo > Gingerbread), or just because you want a clean slate.

--

Q: Why would I use this over Voodoo?

A: This utility is different from Voodoo as it does not backup your data. This utility will provide you speed/performance improvements not currently seen using a Voodoo conversion. Plus, there is nothing special that needs to be done when using this tool - just put it on your SD card and flash it!

--

Q: Does this require any prerequisites?

A: The only prerequisites to using this utility are using a kernel and recovery with EXT4 filesystem support, ask your kernel developer if he/she supports it.

--

Q: How do I know if it worked?

A: First, mount partitions in CWMR. Second, you must know how to use ADB provided by the Android SDK. Simply "adb shell" into your phone while in CWMR and type "mount" while partitions are mounted to check the filesystem type.

--

Utility Updated: 07.20.2011 @ 2:52 AM

Change log:

Updated a non-lethal typo in the formatting of DBDATA (format now works on DBDATA)

Added a double-cycle logic check to unmount a partition before carrying out procedures

Changed the way the lagfix disabling method manages disabling lagfix in attempt to fix automatic Voodoo conversions on Froyo kernels

[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
OK, so I'll be the first one to ask, and I'll even ban myself if the question is too stupid... :o

Will this work with the current 2.3.4 leak? Or do we need to wait for a special kernel to be released for it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kennydied23:
Do you have to be on RFS? Or can you flash this if you've converted to Voodoo EXT4?

[Verizon Droid Charge] kennydied23:
Alright, I downloaded it on my phone, and used rom manager to reboot into recovery, then I installed the zip file. About ten seconds later it rebooted and I was stuck at the Samsung logo for about 15 minutes. I pulled the battery and I tried to power the phone on again, but it was still not going past the Samsung logo. Now I'm in recovery and I was going to try to install a rom but the sdcard can't be mounted.

No...the first one didn't run one script..he fixed it. After you format to ext4 and flash kernel and a rom...it will look like you are bootlooping at Samsung. It will take about a minute or 2. It will go in....just repeat the process with the new file after.

have been flashing for on samsung for almost ten minutes
[Verizon Droid Charge] ZeppelinJ0:

[G Tablet General] markdemich:
I have a gtablet with CM7.03 on it. It's been working for a while. I hadn't booted it in a while and just tonight I tried to boot it. The cyanogenmod logo comes up and animates for a few minutes, then the screen goes black, the process repeats.

I'm hoping someone can give me some steps to follow to figure out what's wrong. I booted in recovery mode, but wasn't sure what to do first. Should I clear caches? Any expert advice would be appreciated. I'm a programmer, but I'm new to all this Android mod stuff.
[G Tablet General] punchemcface:
I know this is going to sound like a really dumb question, but is it charged? The reason I ask is because you mentioned not turning it on for a while and the battery can drain even then.

If it does have a charge, the only thing I could think of would be (after wiping cache and dalvik and seeing if that works) to wipe data completely IF you have a backup/don't care about starting over.
[G Tablet General] markdemich:
It does have a charge. I even tried booting it with it plugged in. I just constantly sits on the animated CM7 logo, then goes black, then sits on the logo again.

When I boot to ClockWorkMod recovery, I see:

wipe cache partition

wipe Dalvik cache.

Can I do both of those without losing stuff? If someone can explain what those caches are actually used for, I would really appreciate it.
[G Tablet General] markdemich:
Well, I couldn't wait and cleared both. Still same problem.

The odd part is that I hadn't changed anything. I'm 99.9% sure it was working. I shut it down, left it plugged in, and then days later tried to boot it.

I can only imagine that an app is starting up on boot that's having issues. Is there a "safe" mode like windows has where I can boot with the minimum OS so I can somehow remove some apps from starting?

Thanks,

Mark
