I keep my protector on in fear of damaging the screen and i know i will so its staying on :).

My whole thing is the forced control of the brightness handling really bugs me.

Its like saying you can only call THESE people on your phone and no one else is how i feel about it.

Its my device and if i want to kill the battery 10x faster i want to have that option but at the same time i do understand others saying meh its no big deal.

I spend a considerable amount of time in dimly lit rooms as well and the screen while gaming is just to darn low and its driving me bananas on an otherwise amazing phone.

Why they chose such a thing just grinds my gears big time. Option great, have at it, but forced grrr ..
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blagus:
Well, I found that the mineral glass under the plastic protector is much better and scratch resistant. The protector isn't, I tested everything :p And much less friction without it, it's too hard to slide finger with that.

And it also seems to bug LS.

Is there a way of changing the default home screen? Samsung have defaulted the left-most home screen as the default home screen, but I'd like to change it so that I could have one of the middle home screens as the default (easier to swipe left and right to find different apps/widgets on different screens, plus certain wallpapers would work better this way).

I've done a search but I can't find anything - apologies if I didn't search hard enough.

You can do this with zeam launcher which is very fast and lightweight.of you use folder organiser it's even better

NOTES:

You MUST be on CyanogenMod 7 or .340 Froyo to flash this rom!

Remember to wipe before flash!

On 1.7.22.1: It is on Rom Manager, Click Check for Updates!

You must go into settings and change resolution of MIUI Camera to get it to work.

Do not wipe to install it.

Market apps are fixed!

Post 2 says:

If you haven't heard about this ROM yet then check out the videos in the 2nd post to see it in action!

This is an excellent ROM if for no other reason than it introduces the first non-CyanogenMod/carrier/manufacturer framework overhaul of Android 2.3.4 and boy what an overhaul.

So what version should I have to install it?

I don't want to install and end up in a boot loop because we all know how hard it is to fix a Droid X when that happens
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
You must be on either CyanogenMod 7 or 340 Froyo. You must flash 1.7.22, not 1.7.22.1, it can be flashed later.

Also, it's not that difficult to fix a bootloop lol.
[Droid X General] curtdragon:
Thanks

How do you get out of a boot loop with the Droid X?

I can't get into recovery unless I am in a Rom and run Droid 2 Bootstrapper
[Droid X General] curtdragon:
Well since I can't post in the real thread I will post here all the bugs I find.

1. Lot's off apps in the market don't work. I am talking a good 40-60 at least. There are a few important ones I use like Noom and Cardio Trainer.

Market shows that the app is incompatible with my device. Ti Backup tries to restore but either says it is successful or fails, it works neither time.

2. When I check Settings>System>About Phone and then click Systems Updates it force closes settings.

Reason I was checking this was because I tried to update using ROM manager but that didnt work.

3. ROM manager works, however it does nothing when I click "Check for ROM Updates"

4. Google Maps was said to be installed, maybe on the next version but since I cant install that I had to install it myself

5. Tethering and hotspots. No hotspot option shown. Also USB tethering did not seem to work. I tried the 4 different settings you can have the phone in when connected to USB but the status says USB not connected (obviously not true since I am able to connect and view my SD card through my computer)

6. ROM fails to load after a reboot. Happened to me twice and I had to SBF it back to stock for it to boot up. This happened when I just did a normal reboot

So for now I am done as I am looking at the Motorola logo even after a wipe of data and cache
[Droid X General] Maximaniac:
I experienced a bootloop when I was flashing back to froyo 340 (droid logo, droid eye, droid logo, droid eye, and so on).

Here's what worked for me:

1. Power down the phone (battery pull)

2. Put battery back in

3. Hold home key, then hold the power key until the phone turns back on (you should see the M logo)

4. Press the search key when you see the Android next to the triangle

5. Using the volume up/down keys on the side of your phone and the camera button to select, wipe the data and cache (please note: you only need to push the camera button half way to select)

6. Reboot the phone and it should work, at least it did for me.
[Droid X General] curtdragon:
Yeah I tried that and it works sometimes but not usually.
[Droid X General] Maximaniac:
How did you flash miui? Did you flash it over CM7 or froyo 340?
[Droid X General] curtdragon:
SBF to stock 2.3.34

Wipe data and cache

Reboot

Install Z4Root and run (reboots on its own)

Install Droid 2 Bootstrapper (Flash recovery/Reboot recovery)

Install MIUI from zip

Reboot

It works fine for a while but after install some apps and fixing settings it wont get passed the Motorola screen.

This happened twice. I miss the OG Droid because if that happened you could just boot into recovery and load your last save and you are good to go
[Droid X General] cdexsw:
how are you installing the apps? manually from the market? or titanium backup?
[Droid X General] curtdragon:
Are you referring to post 4? If so I tried both ways. Market won't let me install the ones that I cant get installed. They just don't show up in the search. If I go onto the market website they are there but once I choose my phone it disappears.

Titanium fails when i try to install the apps

It's as if the phone is not broadcasting what model it actually is. So the apps that do work are just "works on any old Android" while the others ones say these devices only
[Droid X General] curtdragon:
Oh, I see where I mentioned installing apps in the last post. I did the same thing as i mentioned above. A combination of Ti and market installs

I have searched high and low but cannot find a solution for me on this problem. I am running the Gingerbread RC by AT&T and have been using GO Launcher EX for a while now. I cannot find an option to make a shortcut to a specific email account's inbox. The default EMail link goes to the phones default account, and the messaging icon goes to the list of all the accounts. I would like to make it so that I can have individual icons for each email account, like Blackberry does is the best description. I have tried AnyCut, K9 (which sucks for exchange), and about anything else I have read.

Only thing I will not do is change my launcher applications. Please help me if you have any ideas. :)

For Gmail, long press home screen, shortcuts, select Gmail labels, select Gmail account, select which folder, I.e. inbox, shortcut created.

May be same for other email.

[General Questions and Answers] catanni:
Hi,

I have an i9000 and unfortunately, the internal sdcard is not recognised at all.

I can only boot using voodoo 500hz kernel, to bypass this problem.

All other kernels will fail at boot screen (reboot loop).

After booting with voodoo kernel, I've rooted the phone and connected through ssh to it (adb shell)

Listing devices in /dev/block showing nothing like mmcblk (/dev/block/mmcblk0)

I thought it must be the card itself or the controller so I went and bought an external sd card (8gb).

After I insert it, the phone shows it has 0 (zero) capacity , tried to format it to fat32, ext2, etc, both on device (parted) and computer (windows, linux). Not a chance. Tested it using a i9100 I also own and the card was recognised correctly.

Next step was to check if the controller still works so again adb shell and checked for a mmcblk device in /dev/block.

This time, a /dev/block/mmcblk0 and /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 / /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 were listed.

Removed the external card, no device at all so the internal sd card is gone for good.

Next step was to use a hack to swap the internal/external sd cards in (/etc/vold.fstab), but even it is recognized in recovery mode (I can factory format/ wipe data), still 0 size in android interface and I can't use Camera and other apps.

I tried to mount it manually, directly on phone (adb shell), with mount comand and it works! I can create files on it, which are persistent.

So the controller actually works and the card is recognised low level.

BUT, why Android interface (java layer) won't recognize it? It says it's there but size is 0.

Please help, I can't use a lot of features on the phone, I don't know what to do.

Tried to mount it manually (to /mnt/sdcard), and even it get mounted and everything works on shell (creating files, etc), still 0 size in Android.

Running df in shell shows the correct size.

Checked the fstab / vold.fstab / vold.conf , everything seems to be ok.

Can anyone help me to fix this issue? Or at least, to give me some clues / ideas? I've lost several nights and I can't find a fix.

I'm good at linux but don't know very much about Android and it's java layer over linux.

Hi Guys,

I recently moved and just took my I/O edition Tab 10.1 out to play with but it won't power on, won't charge, won't do anything. Any ideas?????

Help will be greatly appreciated.

It is not good for a device to leave it unused for a month. The battery might be dead for good. Best practice is to leave the battery charged at 50%. This is what I read.... I am not an expert, and and I hope that this is not your case.

Well I need help again, so I figured I might as well use this post rather than creating clutter...

So my original help request involved my inability to get my phone into bootloader OR recovery but I eventually got it... I was trying to SBF back to Froyo so I can re-root and flash MIUI.

So I got all that done, but I seem to be having issues getting Clockwork recovery to stick around. After I recovered back to Froyo via SBF, I was able to download ROM manager and flash CWM recovery and then bootstrap it, reboot to it and flash MIUI. After MIUI boots up (runs great by the way, for those considering it), I installed ROM manager again but it said that I had no recovery (or stock) so I re-flashed CWM, bootstrapped it again and rebooted into recovery, only to find myself in the STOCK recovery...??? So without doing a THING in stock recovery, I hit reboot and now my phone is stuck at the Motorola logo and I am unable to reach CWM recovery to re-flash or anything. I cannot find another way to get back into my phone without an SBF back to Froyo, thus back to step 1.

Can anyone help me out?

Oh and I've already wiped data/cache with stock recovery - still no dice
[Droid 2 General] n1ghtwish:
See above post
[Droid 2 General] DeBaKai:
I asked a similar question. It's a good thing I decided to wait until I got an answer before using ROM Manager. I am not sure why it did what it did.

I would also like to know the answer to your question.

edit: Perhaps (after you SBFed again) if you flashed CWM from Rom Manager but don't bootstrap? It seems like bootstrapping erases the ROM Manager's CWM and doesn't install the one it has. Just a thought. (If bootstrapping is important, though, then disregard this.)

Another thought. Bootstrap first, then flash CWM from ROM Manager. See if that works. Also try going to CWM through the bootstrapper, if you can't do it manually.

edit2: Just tried it that way (D2B first, RM second). worked like a charm. Was able to successfully update Miui.
[Droid 2 General] n1ghtwish:
Man, I don't get why these phones do some of the things they do...

I just SBF'd my phone again, re-rooted and re-installed MIUI and NOW, for some strange reason, I am able to make my way into CMW recovery.

i have many files in my sd-card after rooting (superuser.apk etc...) can i delete the files pushed with adb or i will do something bad?

thanks in advice and sorry for my bad english
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
First welcome to the forums.

You don't need to flash a new radio, although if you find you're getting very poor reception you might want to consider it.

To flash a rom you need to download the rom.zip file, and put it on your sdcard.

You can then either use Rom Manager to flash the rom, or reboot into recovery and do it.

You should do a backup of your current rom first, in case anything goes wrong.

And wipe data/factory reset and cache when flashing different roms.

I have a Samsung Galaxy mini (S5570L) and I'm trying to edit Phone.apk, I wanna replace the unknown caller picture for the stock android picture, I already managed to do that but I have 2 questions:

1) When I try to replace Phone.apk with the one I edited the phone starts vibrating uncontrollably and I can't seem to be able to do pretty much anything, is there any special treatment when editing system APKs??

2) The stock Samsung ROM is odexed so I know editing and replacing the APK isn't as simple as it sounds, what else do I need to do after zipping the APK in APK Manager??

Thanx for you help

P.S.: This is a wild idea but is there a way to change the TouchWiz Phone.apk for the stock Froyo Phone.apk??
[Android Software Development] jonas2295:
To 2.

It causes issues if u have some odexed and one deodexed apk so u should deodex all apks.

1. Do a logcat to find out what's wrong .

Did u push the file via adb?

And u should sign the apk ...
