[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Let's first establish which phone you have. Do you have the HTC Desire or LG G2X? If you have the Desire then you might get better help in that forum. If you DO have a G2X and you flashed a Desire rom to it, then that's your problem.

G2X CM7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I ask that because this is the G2X forum.

[Defy General] Spartan2:
Hi, everyone knows that the atrix is unlocked and some people is looking for doing the same on the defy.

what we have to do is activate the cloud function, choose a server and the phone will look for an update.zip that will maybe unlock the bootloader.

If it fails we have to wipe the phone, choose an other server, and try again

My question is : is a faster way exists ?

for exemple i was thinking about exploring each server with a PC, but when i've tried i've only found a crossdomain.xml file on it. Maybe the phone is looking for an update.zip in an hidden folder.

Is someone knows exactly where the defy is looking for updates ?

when we will know that maybe we can found an file with explicit name like "unlocked-bl-update"

Hi all,

I will like to change some options on clockwork's and AmonRa (one of them..) to try to get best of them (some options for one of them...). In fact I will like to merge "both worlds" (quite similar but none of them 100% perfect, at least for my usage). So is there any way to test recovery on SDK emulator¿?

Many Thanks,

Hi, has anyone on here ever managed to stick a screen protector on their desire without air bubbles underneath? I must have gone through at least six and still can't bloody do it..
[Desire Accessories] xybadog:
Yes, it's quite simple once you figure it out. Make sure you place on as flat as possible and before you take the second protector film off smooth it down onto the screen slowly and use an applicator to smooth it on slowly. If you don't have an applicator just use a credit card.

It does take some practice though
[Desire Accessories] davebugyi:
I tried some screen protectors, but for me the Zagg Invisibleshield is the no.1

Easy to put on and managed to put it on without any bubbles (2 times).
[Desire Accessories] xybadog:
Not cheap though. Had a look at Amazon and they're expensive and the reviews aren't too good either.
[Desire Accessories] sh500:
I have put quite a few screen protectors on- for family and friends, all of them are still bubble/dust free. All of these are the 'cheaply priced' one from ebay :)

The key things are :

Make sure the surrounding area where you are applying the protector is dust free- somewhere like a bathroom/shower room is best.

Clean the screen thoroughly with a lint-free cloth (usually provided with the protector).

Remove the 'number 1 plastic protector film only a bit at time, exposing as minimal as necessary, whilst using a credit card (with a thin lint free cloth over it) to press the the film from one end as you remove the protector film from othe other end.

As said above, keep the 'number 2 protector' on and smooth out any bubbles again with the credit card.

Peel off the 'number 2 protector'. Be careful, this sometimes 'raises' the actual protector off the screen and can allow dust to get in.

If any bubbles do appear after taking the number 2 protector off, use the credit card wrapped in a lint cloth to smooth them out (the cloth will of course prevent scratches).

Sometimes, dust can get in whilst you are applying. You WILL need to remove the protector and wash it thoroughly under running water.

I have had to do this a few times. Do not dry the protector with anything; you can actually apply it on wet (much like car window tint). You can squeeze out any excessive water out to the edge, again with the credit card. Just have another piece of cloth ready to absorb the excess and avoid getting it in the speaker.
[Desire Accessories] vmax007:
Any Matt protector for suggestion??
[Desire Accessories] xybadog:
Try these on ebay.
[Desire Accessories] reaper7881:
U use a credit card its more easier and then I push the big air bubbles out .. it doesn't matter if there are a couple of small air bubbles as they will fix themselves
[Desire Accessories] BluNoze:
How resistant to scratches are these?

My current one is ok, but has got scratched pretty quickly.
[Desire Accessories] skrenat:
Yes with CC it's more easier and if you do it right than you will not have bubbles
[Desire Accessories] xybadog:
Pretty good. I've had no scratches at all.
[Desire Accessories] BigMrB:
screen protectors are a must i think :D

Thanks, I'm now off shopping!

I have been using my Desire for about 13 months till now and I always carry it in my pocket.

I do notuse any screen protectiona and I still have not a single scratch untill now...I dunno if the protective screen is really necessary.
[Desire Accessories] Ben81:
I wish I'd fitted a screen protector. I keep my Desire in a pouch but still managed to scratch the screen. Only a small one, but it still annoys me!
[Desire Accessories] Kameo:
I always used cheap ones from ebay, even the ones sold with my hard-cases.

Here's i do (method found here on xda) : just take a warm/hot shower if there's "water" on the mirror, then you're good to go as the dust will be on the floor.

Then you just have to use the method here:

I have my desire since 8 months ago without any protection and the screen is perfect, as the first day. No matter if you carry anything made of metal in the same pocket your desire is. It's almost unscratchable :cool:
[Desire Accessories] dsana123:
I find that screen protectors dull the look of the screen somewhat. Just take care not to carry coins or keys in the pocket along with the phone.
[Epic 4G Themes] poit:
OK, this is the first time I've edited an apk file, but I'm running it on my phone with no problems. I'm using odexed "stock" EG22. Your Mileage May Vary! If you are running EG22 you've already voided your warranty so don't blame me if your phone bursts into flames. So far only one person has tested this (me) but it's a pretty basic edit and what could possibly go wrong!

I took the CRT/Battery mod that was posted by Tortel1210 (thanks) and replaced the framework in it with a stock EG22 framework that has had one line edited in it to enable CRT animation. Thanks to kennethpenn in the Atrix forum for instructions on how and what to edit. For those interested, here's the instructions I followed:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138800

Here's the installer I created. Install using CWM.

http://hotfile.com/dl/125082870/ab0f039/eg22CRT.zip.html

EDIT:

Just a heads up here. Apparently enabling the CRT Off animation causes the automatic screen brightness function to work incorrectly; it jumps from full dim to full bright instead of continuously varying. From what I've read this is a gingerbread bug that occurs on all phones. I've confirmed that it happens with this mod.

Anybody working on a port for the screen "on" animtion or the overscroll glow..its just aother file in the same framework package isn't it (CRT screen on)...if it is...then I'm hoping those instructions can allow the screen on as well.

No its not, we dont have the libs even present for crt on..
[Epic 4G Themes] tony45x220:
Ok thanks I had a misunderstanding of the concept...can they be ported from another ASOP Gingerbread ROM or ported over like some of our devs have done with porting themes?

[Epic 4G Themes] tony45x220:
I don't intend to be pushy...but I just get jealous when I see other GB ROM's on other phones that aren't CM7...with features that we don't have...

Sent from my rooted, suited, & booted Epic 4G kno dat!
[Epic 4G Themes] poit:
As I understand it, the overscroll glow requires quite a bit of modifications as does the CRT ON. I also think enabling them requires a deodexed rom.

CRT OFF is built into the existing framework and can be enabled by just changing one parameter and recompiling, which is what I did. I'm not a developer but I'm pretty good at following other people's instructions, so I was able to put this together pretty easily. It'll take an actual developer to add the other stuff.
[Epic 4G Themes] tony45x220:
I got chu....maybe it will happen once we get some GB source code and get CM7 working for the epic...from my knowledge once you have the feature compatable with the hardware of the phone on one ROM...it should be an asy transition btwn different ROM's for the same phone...thanks for clarifying though.

Deodexed ROM

This may be obvious from the title of the thread, but is this compatible with the deodexed ROM?

If not, can you give me any advice on how to make this for the deodexed ROM?
[Epic 4G Themes] poit:
I haven't tested it on deodexed, but I think it will work. If you backup in CWM before you install it and it doesn't work you can recover by just "advanced restoring" system in CWM. You could be the guinea pig!
[Epic 4G Themes] Zeinzu:
It works on deodexed
[Epic 4G Themes] Gersonian:
Thanks for the info. I see that there is now a thread on deodexed overscroll and crt off, but for me since installing the overscroll works, but not crt. I migjt try this one soon.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] skinnyveganboy:
I've checked the forums and have come up dry. I don't want to flash another ROM, i'm happy with mine (see sig). I do, however, miss the ability to zoom that was implemented in the sense rom I was using before this one. I believe it was virtuous sense 3.0 and I think even CM7 does this where you can zoom WHILE recording and use the volume rocker to do so. can i Flash just the cam app on my HTC G2 / DZ to be able to get this?

Nope and probably wont be for a couple weeks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] beenz:
Really? Not to be a **** but this has been questioned and answered a ton of times. A little searching would have yielded great results. And if there was a root method, there wouldn't be a sticky saying not to OTA.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Avelnan:
Not even search, just scroll down a little.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mikeew83:
To be blunt you are a **** I've been around long enough that I wouldn't post the question if I hadn't searched these forums as well as google search and just found more dicks saying if you had just searched but no posting a link or anything helpful just wasting time and space with replies that are not helpful nor productive such as yours
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] beenz:
So after searching the forums and Googling, what conclusion did you come up with? I would think that after being around long enough, if you search and don't find anything about as big of a topic as root for Gingerbread, then root hasn't been achieved yet.

Also, as I answered your question, "

And if there was a root method, there wouldn't be a sticky saying not to OTA."

People are forgetting that XDA is a developer forum. This isn't androidforums.com, where beginner questions belong. And they throw a hissy whenever someone treats them as such.

And before you say I'm not a developer, so why I am I here; you're right, I'm not a developer. But I also don't start threads asking obvious questions.

Coming from the fascinte forum to over here makes me think we needs GB software root waiting room type threads and it be stickied or something. That's just me bc to be frank get on inc2 forums and the first 3 or 4 threads are about the same topic

Read my post right above yours lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Golgotha theskull:
I mean more along the lines where devs can let us know what is going on and how far they are. I think the reason there are so many threads is because slot of us have no idea what's going on with it. I am not as smart as all of are gifted devs but I would like to still know. That's just imo

I understand people replying that it has been posted not to do the ota if you want s-off, I had s off and was rocking cm7, however I dropped my phone it hit a rock and screen was no more, insurance claim done I now have my new phone and it already had 2.3.3, so this question is valid, people just want to know is there any work or progress towards getting s-off on 2.3.3 via software.

either way, if you were unlucky enough, as some of us were, to recieve inc2's with GB already, then we are screwed. temporary though it might be. Someone somewhere is no doubtedly working on a GB exploit.

Patience my good people. its works wonders.

that or go throw away money on a clip from china to perm root.

personally, i'd rather give my money to these devs here, but thats just my double dose of penny.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] k_nivesout:
If you want to check on status of root for GB, maybe try the alpharevx IRC channel? Since they're responsible for S-OFF on froyo, I'm assuming they would be the ones working on a software root for GB.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sgiitk:
There is thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1185760 which indicates that if S-off is achieved with Froyo it survives after an OTA. Most likely cause, AlphaRevX updates the version of HBOOT so this is not changed.

I just browse for the most part here. Just chillax and it'll come.

I wouldn't bother them. They work on getting S-Off to devices that ALREADY have a root or temp-root exploit.

[b]v.0.0.1 'proof of concept'[/b]
- initial release with basic functionality:
* avs status,
* enable/disable avs module

Manual

1. Enabling avs module on boot.

To enable avs module on boot, press menu key. This will open options menu pane. From there, select settings. You'll be transferred to settings view, where you have to click Enable AVS on boot option.

avsMon will now request superuser rights. If you haven't already done this, su popup will appear. For best results, check Remember box and allow.​

2. Applying user-specified voltages on boot.

To apply custom voltages, go to settings, select Voltages and then check Enable user-specified voltages on boot.

avsMon will now request superuser rights. If you haven't already done this, su popup will appear. For best results, check Remember box and allow.​

3. Changing voltages.

To change voltage levels, go to settings, select Voltages and then either Minimum voltage or Maximum voltage. Changing default value will result in immediate writing new values to vdd_min or vdd_max files in sysfs.​

Requirements

Requires 2.3 and su privileges to toggle avs module.

Fetching avs and cpu states is done with normal privileges.

Disclaimer

I don't take responsibility for any damage or data loose.

Application was tested on Oxygen 2.1.6 with thalamus kernel 2.6.35.13_r4.

I recommend to uninstall earlier version and then install current rather than update already installed one.

Final notes

If you like this little app, don't forget to press thanks button.

Donations are off course welcome.

Any features requests and comments are much appreciated.

Stay tuned, for updates....

This is nice. I shared your pain fiddling with terminal and keyboard.

Good job
[Desire Themes and Apps] AlxMAX:
Nice idea! However, I think one would not enable or disable the feature too often. I would rather put a script in /system/etc/init.d to enable it at each boot (and so I have done). I would suggest you a new feature: add a button Make it permanent to make the setting be restored at boot (if you haven't implemented it already). The implementation should write a specially crafted script in /system/etc/init.d to restore whatever setting was chosen in the GUI. Of course, your application would need a root privilege.
[Desire Themes and Apps] hakatu:
Tanks. I already have peresistent avs enabling through android service @ boot on my todo list. I think that it's much elegant solution, than writing anything to /system/etc/init.d/ (which is not so easy thou and requires remounting /system).

Simple service will start at boot, check if avs is enabled or not, then it'll enable (if user has selected so) it. Same result. No flashing or writing to init.d needed. Root privileges usage should be kept at minimum.

This will be included in one of next versions.

Do you have AVS enabled? avsMon now tries to read cpu states even if avs is not enabled and this could provide to such values. It's normal and will be corrected in future version. Try to enable AVS and then check readings.

Yay my name is in the thread
[Desire Themes and Apps] dannylill1981:
am using oxygen 2.1.6 with thalamus kernel, setting voltages doesnt work, have tried but its still reporting old voltages, im settingmin as 850 maximum as 950 (i know my phone can take it ) but its still reporting higher voltages.
[Desire Themes and Apps] hakatu:
When you change minimum or maximum voltage, avsMon will write this new value to either vdd_min or vdd_max in /sys/module/avs/parameters/. The rest is up to kernel and avs module implementation. Basing on thalamus comments, it should read vdd_min/vdd_max in sysfs and use those values.

Values reported as cpu frequency and voltage status are taken from /sys/module/avs/parameters/status. And here is the same as with voltages. It's up to kernel and avs module to update this file in sysfs.

avsMon is just an interface to commands you'd normally have to write manually. Nothing more.

I haven't tested voltage settings much. They're implemented based on assumption, that "this should work, because avs should read those files in sysfs". Try to change voltages and then observe your power consumption. If your phone uses less mA than normally, then it's working. If not, then we should ask thalamus for his opinion, it's his kernel ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] dannylill1981:
thanks for the reply buddy, im not expecting miracles from the app, just letting you know. cool app, for all i know it could be working, just the reported values are wrong, ill see how it goes and if necessary, a word with thalamus to see if he can shed any light on it may be in order.
