[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poit:
My experience has been that the new rom won't see any apps you moved to the SD card. Plus, you won't be able to move any restored apps to the SD card because of the old copy.What I do is delete the .android_secure directory. That's where the apps are stored. It may look empty but if you connect to a PC and look in the directory all the apps will be there.

I think deleting the .android_secure directory should be standard practice when restoring a backup.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vader4633:
Thanks, I'll try that.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
This doesn't belong in development. Post questions in Q&A.

Apps to SD apps will only show up on the Rom they were moved on.

I don't know if this helps. but when i switch roms. i install easy installer from the market and all the apps show up and i can choose what to install on the new rom. i thought this might help. or you can remove it from there as well.....

By an accident I entered one of the "latest threads ", took a quick look and found this amazing app . It provides the user experience and looks of the new sense lockscreen, and it works really good for me running Speedmachine :-D Just note that I've not made the app,just thought I should let you know. Ps: there's both a free and paid version.

Edit: Haha, found out that I don't even have to pay for the pro features. I just clicked the get free points button installed a few apps (which I of course uninstalled strait afterward :) ) and voila :D

Edit2: Link corrected
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Ciprilik:
thank you so much for the tip. Can't wait to try it out as soon as TB finishes restoring my apps on Elelinux-7.1.0-RC1-Hero-v3.1. This will look best with the Sense theme I use for GO Launcher EX.

Edit: works great and it's verry smooth.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Ciprilik:
I was wondering if you have the same issue as me with this lockscreen :

I put the phone in my pocket of my jeans and after let's say 1 or 2 hours when I get it out I find myself in a random sub-menu in Settings. Did you ever had this problem? I've disabled it and tried leaving the phone in my pocket for 1 hour with the rom's default lockscreen and it never happens. This weird thing happens again and again with Agile Lock. I've also disabled the pull-down notification bar.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tfn:
Intresting I have been using it on my Sgs2 but didn't realise it would work on the hero as well..

I would suggest you also try 'LOCKBOT PRO It has so many different lock screens ranging from ( iphone, hero, SE etc etc ) you will like the variety
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Atenaa:
Thanks for the tip! I'll try it on Speedmachine too..:cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Habarug:
Well, I've been using this lockscreen on a pretty speedy and light rom. I guess that the lockscreen will be killed pretty often if you try it on a GB rom :)

Will try Lockbot soon :)

Btw. I've found a bug in the lockcreen, pressing the volumebuttons wakes the device, and with the heros volumbuttons, this means it wakes up all the time :P But I've sent a mail to the dev and he answered that they're working on it :D
[Nook Touch General] klong81506:
Since rooting my Nook touch I have had it on for 6 days. I checked the battery usage and it tells me that "cell standby" is using 87% of the battery and "phone idle" is using 12%.

Anyone ideas on how to disable those functions?

Perhaps airplane mode would disable those, but I don't know how to enter airplane mode. I do have nook color tools installed.

Thanks

I tried the airplane mode as someone suggested but i still saw cell standby and phone idle.

I'm wondering, Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk are already installed in an unrooted nook, aren't they ?

BTW, there is a script here for the Nook Color, it should work for the Nook 2.

But I don't know if it will have a real effect on battery life or not ...
[Nook Touch General] VaderDarth:
Thanks!

I just changed the file extensions, as mentioned in the "[script] remove cell service" thread, also seems to work.
[Nook Touch General] domi.nos:
IMO, both "cell standby" and "phone idle" and just about all actions that nook does when it is in sleep mode. Removing these apk's however helps just a bit because there are none useless phone apps running in background, but there still will be "cell standby" thing in battery stats.
[Nook Touch General] MTKnife:
I just made the change, and actually, it's "Phone idle" that's still in the stats. "Cell standby" which was using about three times as much juice as "Wi-fi" and "Phone idle" combined, is now gone, and so I'm hopeful for improved battery life.

I think, BTW, that the "Phone" in "Phone idle" doesn't refer to the actual phone app--the name probably actually means "Device idle".
[Nook Touch General] MTKnife:
OK, after a day of testing (and contrary to what others have said), I see a dramatic change in battery usage. Last night, when I got home from work, my Nook Touch was at about 90% (or maybe that was at work), and then, by midnight, it had drained to 60%, while idle the whole time. I then renamed the two APK files, recharged it overnight, and just checked again a bit before midnight, and it's at 98%.
[Nook Touch General] ectacy:
This thread seems forgoten. I used Linux to access to /system/app of my unrooted nook.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entegy:
Back before NoDo came out, I used a registry app to change my carrier string to the one used in unbranded phones "888-88" I think? I want to change it back and I've forgotten what the original carrier string is. I'm on Rogers in Canada, so would the string have been "ROG-CA"?

Also, the key I want to change is [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo]

"MobileOperator"="888-88" right?

Phone is Samsung Focus if that matters.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapanak:
First of all, for unbranded devices, the string should be "000-88" ...

Secondly, I am not sure what the string for Rogers is, but for Telus, it was "LUS-CA".

If no one else helps you, your best bet is to buy a Samsung Focus from FutureShop or Best Buy, unlock it, check the registry value for the Operator, then return it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entegy:
000-88. That was it.

Also, futureshop.ca says $20 for the Focus... That has to be with a plan right? Any idea how much it is standalone in CAD?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entegy:
Wow, this worries me that a Google search for "Rogers WP7 carrier string" shows this topic as the top result already.

Anyway, my Google-fu is apparently really weak as I found another XDA topic that mentions that Rogers' carrier string is indeed ROG-CA. Huzzah.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4zyn:
Please don't be angry. I am severely confused over this whole update thing. With the bootloader, and the leaked rom, and the official ota rom.....good lord it's like my mind is trying to hump a doorknob.

Anyway... I have 2.2.2, rooted (although by which method, I cannot remember). I do not have any mods. I have side-loading enabled. I have tethering enabled.

What is the safest way, in plain english, to update to the newest version? I don't know what SBF means, I don't know what CWM means, I don't know what RSD means.

All I want as an end result is a rooted version of the latest, OTA update with an unlocked bootloader.

Please help the ignorant :(

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoNeto:
if you do the over the air update you will not have an unlocked bootloader unless you do it before there are custom roms that are just as good and stable as the official ones that will root unlock your bootloader and upgrade if you want to do all of this follow my guide here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179506
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viamonte:
Just to enlighten things a bit...

a SBF (i believe it stands for system binary file?) is a file that contains an official (made by the manufacturer) ROM for a cellphone. The entire operating system and kernel.

RSD (a.k.a. RSDlite) is a software designed by motorola, to use on your computer to install these SBFs on a cellphone via USB connection.

CWM is a piece of software for your phone that is accessible during boot, before the OS loads.

- After installed, to use it, you have to turn on the phone holding both the power button and the volume down buttons. The phone screen will show "fastboot". That's only one option in a series of options that you can scroll through using the "volume down" button, and that you select using the "volume up" button. Scrolling down, you'll find the option "Android Recovery", which will access whatever CWM you put in place.

- It's function is to allow the installation of ROMs and Kernels. Its basically a simpler alternative to RSD, requiring no pc to function.

And to update your device, first you must install RSDlite on your computer, and install the Pudding SBF on your phone using it. After that, You have to install Tenfar's CWM on your phone. Then you'll choose one of the avaiable ROMs (there's the stock one posted up by kennethpenn, a version of the stock one with a few upgrades, and several customized ones), which you will install using CWM.

The detailed steps are on the NOOB GUIDES fixed post on one of the Atrix's foruns, but I beleive those explanations shall make that road a little less bumpier.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannykaye85:
Simple answer

Hi I'd just like to add my 2 cents from the update experience.

If you are rooted prior to the update, installing the official update of gingerbread from Motorola will make you lose root privileges-plain and simple.

In my case unlike you I did not have sideloading enabled. That was the only difference in your situation and mine. So that's a question for a Senior member to answer.

If I were you, I'd just go ahead and update regardless. This forum has a lot of information in resurrection of the bricked phones in the 1% chance that it may happen. 99% you will update to the gingerbready awesomeness.

Another piece of advice is that after exploring a lot of features of the stock rom, i felt that the launcher is the Achilles heel of motoblur or blur UI as they call it now. Try using adw launcher?. It's fast and fantastic. Completely customizable.

This ends my 0.02$. :cool:
