[Xoom Themes and Apps] jsms0905:
well depending on exactly how you are going to use it. if its a point A to point B type of trip that is within the same day(unless you leave the xoom on and the nav app open the whole time) then using the nav app that comes already installed will work fine. as long as you have an intrernet connection at the start to set down the points youre fine. it already automatically downloads the whole route and map and lets say you take a detour, the nav will reroute without any need of internet. but once you reach your destination, youll need an internet connection to set down a new destination. and if you set down the layers at the begining so it tells you where all the gas stations are and all that, there is no real reason to go and buy a new nav app.

i use the stock maps and nav apps that come with it all the time and my xoom is a wifi only and i take it on loooong trips and ive never gotten lost, even when ive taken huge detours off the intended path. so i recomend you use the stock nav app since it already has offline nav built into it.

X 2. CO PILOT is awesome.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] juniorsgv:
whats so awesome about co pilot? for a 9.99 app or 24.99 for premium it better get me to where i'm going. and reviews on marketplace don't tout it as awesome. unless only people who are complainers are only ones reviewing the app.

Hello, i am a complete novice in this subject, I recently bought a x8 xperia and the truth that the android 2.1 bored me. I want to change the android 2.2, looking for videos on youtube I found this /watch?v=d7RTsPKXfog (SORRY FOR THAT forum will not let me post the link) i loved the theme of this phone I think is the HTC. my question is, if you know what exactly are these theme and what tipe of froyo version used. thank you very much.

sorry for the english (google traductor)
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:
That's a HackDroid ROM by racht. Specifically, Floyo 0.15

It's a very stable and fast ROM. Thread link

Camera works fine. It's in 3.2 MP. I say, better install Floyo 0.20, it's better.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefcke:
Hey guys,

I'm on holiday and I forgot my USB cable. I want to install a custom rom like Cognition and now I'm on XXKE2.

The problem is, I applied CFRoot (I think it was that one) but then I flashed the normal kernel back so there was no ! sign.

Question: Can I get CWM so I can flash Cognition without a PC but with root?

Thanxxx! :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Try an app called darkyrom 2, from the market, it may let you flash a Cwm kernel and from there you can do nandroid backups and flash custom roms.

It may not work, but it's worth a try, the app let me flash a modem away from pc, im not on darkyrom but i do have a cwm kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefcke:
Trying it now, nope. Maybe the kernel, gonna try that in a second?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Hopefully! Otherwise there isn't any way as far as i know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
If you have a way to get the zImage of a kernel containing CWM onto your phone and you have root, you can flash that kernel with no problems.

First try getting the zImage onto your phone, like transfering if from your PC (as I read it you only forgot the USB cable) via WiFi.

Then install (if you don't have it already) a terminal app from the market.

Open a terminal session and enter:

su
dd if=/path/to/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=4096
reboot

After that you're running whatever kernel was in that zImage.

I've read over and over and need verification and reassuarance that I'm doing this properly. Trying to keep track of android devices get confusing at time. I'm not a total android noob, I've got my thunderbolt, the wife's fascinate, and a droid x, I've just bought the iconia and it's rooted, my confusion lies with, its magic and the Acer recovery installer. After rooting do you just flash cwm via the Acer recovery installer? Create a backup and flash a new rom? And treat it like any other device?what's the importance of having both cwm and the Acer stock image? Stock is for receiving ota updates correct?

What's different between its magic and the Acer recovery installer?
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
ARI installs both the custom CWM and itsmagic on to your tablet once rooted. Flashing ROMs through CWM will automatically run itsmagic to calculate the new checksums, you don't need to worry about it.

ARI is just there to make installing itsmagic and CWM a lot simpler.
[Acer Iconia A500] ibsk8:
Thanks. How do you format external SD on this thing?
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Have yet to find an app that can do this - have never had the need, but if needed I would just use a microsd card reader, hook it to my PC, and format from there. Anyone else know of a utility for Droid that allows format of external SD card?
[Acer Iconia A500] cfrock:
to OP:

I could not the format function in honeycomb either kinda odd.

Anyway, if you are trying to 'format' for first time use in your tab, upon inserting SD card the tab automatically creates the file structure it needs. Hope that helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Take the card out.I use a format utility by sandisk works with all removable media.think I gotfeom there website. But there are alot of format utilities out there just format in fat 32 seems to work best.for me anyway

Hope this helps
[Acer Iconia A500] ibsk8:
I was just going to pop in in my thunderbolt and format it, is this a problem?

Also when creating backups with cwm does it save backups to the internal memory? Or external_sdcard?

Drives me nuts that the internal memory is at /mnt/sdcard and its not an SD card.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
CWM saves to ext SD card! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] ibsk8:
Another Q, the tablet I have says android 3.0.1 ,what else do I need to know before flashing, do certain roms on work when on certain android versions?

On the phones you have to match roms to radios (but no radios here) are there firmware versions that need to be matched with the from or will flashing the rom bring you up to the current version.

I've learned the hard way so sorry for the noob questions, each device is a new method thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] Hymizzle:
Check for update, newest update ota is 3.1
[Acer Iconia A500] cfrock:
What he said ^

update to 3.1 and then root with Iconiaroot 1.3

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138228

That way you don't have to bother with the orientation lock, etc of gingerbreak.
[Acer Iconia A500] ibsk8:
Thanks. Downloading now.

More questions.

When retrieving an ota is it necessary to revert back to the stock recovery as well?

For example prior to retrieving

1. Restore stock backup via cwm

2. Restore stock recovery (is this necessary?)

3. Unroot via terminal or other method

4. Retrieve OTA

Then reroot and reflash cwm recovery and create a backup.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
There shouldn't be the need for any of those steps, CWM doesn't care if you have rooted the tablet for example, and the OTA update just updates binaries on the system, it shouldn't be affected either.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
if you install a stock rom, you have to re-flash cwm, root, kernel because it cleans everything, and i think that it is a good thing to happen.

[HTC Desire S] faraaz:
Who got the same problem? I already swapped 3 times for a new HTC Desire S in the store. Today I got the 4th one. But still the same annoying problem. I can see that the screen doesn't perfectly fit on the unibody. I can also see the backlight shine through the border of the screen (at 3 spots) - so called light leak. The seller said that it's because of the unibody and the screen is pasted above the body (he suggested another phone because all the unibodies will have the same problem, but I like to stick with the Desire S).

I think I have to live with it, because all the 4 phones got the same fault.

Maybe you all should check the screen closely (the whole border).

If someone knows a solution, please let me know. I will wait a little bit, maybe I will put a bit of kit in the gaps...

Greetings,

Faraaz
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Its weird, cause i dont have that issue.. what color is your phone? gray or black
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
my screen fits perfectly,i dont have this issue

mine is black
[HTC Desire S] faraaz:
I got the grey version. Maybe a bad shipment to the Netherlands. I have read on a german forum, that people have the same problem...
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
I have the black version, had the grey one and there had the issue with the screen... i think the grey ones are made bad :P
[HTC Desire S] faraaz:
Yeah could be. I also wanted the black version, but it wasn't available in the shops I went. I will ask if they can order a black one. I have 30 days return policy.
[HTC Desire S] .sh4d0w.:
I have the black version and it has a small gap on the top of the screen...

So it has nothing to do with the color lol.

Nothing too obvious though....
[HTC Desire S] vaness11:
my gray DS is okay, only little problem is with back cover...
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
xD well, so there are some good and some bad :P no matter color
[HTC Desire S] faraaz:
I have sent an e-mail to HTC with the so called light leaked problem. I'm curious what the respond will be.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I've a black one and it has minimal gaps, such that I can see a tiny orange LED light leakage from the top of the screen edge and at the bottom right hand side I can see slight light leakage from the hard button backlights.

But these are only visible in a dark room after careful angling and rotating of the device...So ultimately, doesn't effect the operation of the phone, so doesn't bother me.
[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
Black one here and never noticed anything wrong with the screen fit/build.

Is it just an aesthetic problem or does this cause issues with the phone operation?
[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
Looking at it, I kinda see what you mean, but it doesn't bother me all that much. A thin black edge around the actual display on all sides, and if you tilt the phone you can sometimes see the light escaping from the soft buttons' backlights.

Doesn't bother me at all thankfully.

My girlfriend's wildfire S's screen mismatch however... that winds me up just being in the same ROOM as the damn thing.
[HTC Desire S] faraaz:
Got a reply today. It is in dutch, but in short:

"HTC is not familiar with the issue. You got to send the phone for repair and then we will look at it".

I also put links of xda forum, android hilfe and google (search: light leak htc) in my message. But HTC pretends that they know nothing. It's ashame. No more HTC for me. The 4th HTC Desire S with problems is not right. It's not a low budget phone...
[HTC Desire S] pedrovki:
hi,

i have the same problem here.

it's my third htc desire s, all of them with thsoe gaps..even srrounding the capacitive keys

I hate it

i dont know if im going to change again for a desire s or to change brand
[HTC Desire S] LaKraven:
Mine is black, my wife's is blue... both of them have perfectly fitted screens! Sounds like the store you're buying from is trying to shift dodgy stock!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
This unfortunately is a common problem but not that severe, it effects devices sold in many countries, although after your experience with that one shop I'd follow advice given and would try an alternative shop or try to possibly buy online.
[HTC Desire S] noodles2k:
I did this, got it back after 10 days. They hadn't done squat, it still leaks exactly the same as before. :rolleyes:

And for the record, it's a black one.
[HTC Desire S] decoyknox:
I've had 3 Desire S's, all black. One of them was fine, the other has a slight leak. My current one is a little worse. Also noticed that the screen isn't aligned properly. Sending it back to the seller for a replacement soon. I think it's just a hit or miss thing.

I'm competing against a xoom in another forum, I'm at 1500, he's at 1700 barely topping me...

So any kernels to match that? Or a suggestion?

Running new baseband with cm7 89nightly. I'm on faux new 1.4 kernel. The 1.55 locks up my device...

Help, I must beat him..lol

EDIT: what kernels yall using for CM7 and the new baseband?

Also not stating that the 1.55 ghz is what locked my device. Could have been just that kernel itself not liking my phone, the rom, the baseband, etc. So, any help would be appreciated. THANKS GIVEN
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
1.55 locks up your device, but you are expecting to run at 1.7? Let me know how that works out for you.

You don't wanna know where this was sent from.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
that was just dumb. that 1.55 with this baseband locks it up. I was running it just fine before I updated. And I figured maybe its just this latest version, or maybe just Fauxs.

There are many variabls. Also thats a UV Kernel right? That could have been the issue.

Not helpful at all, and actually more of a dumb comment. minus a thanks for you buddy boy

HOW TO:

- Install the latest CWM with EXT4 support;

- do a full backup with nandroid;

- install the attached script;

- restore backup.

P.S.:You don't need anymore to delete the files inside system/bin since i modified the init binary. If you have deleted they please restore (you can find fat.format and fsck_msdos attached). To create newfs_msdos go with the terminal in /system/bin and do:
