hey hey, update will be in max 3 days. If he is new user , that dont think that he's stupied, im new user to, but im a developer, but only new on the site. I'nt know why people are suggesting someons posts by numbers of wroted posts.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bwyan Benton:
So ur saying the update will be out in 3 days max?

And im not calling anyone stupid but: this thread is in the wrong section...its neither a theme nor an app....and if the op would have visited the general section he/she would have already noticed a bunch of posts about gingerbread including a sticky already.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Reeonimus:
The reason I assume this is because there are some trolls here who keep making accounts and posting that the update is here. We went through the same thing when 2.1 was rolled out. I am not calling him an idiot solely based off his number of posts, but also the content of those posts. If you were a new user and posted something Dev related I would not think this of you (given that your post was clearly credible).

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jmadotme:
I have searched this and have founded some themes and other mods, but i only need the modified android.policy.odex for unlocking the AOSP lockscreen, without extended power menu, horrible percentage battery or any other mods.

Anyone can make this for my Stock ODEX XXJVQ rom?

We greatly appreciate!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] picard666:
look for tiny mods by $omator. i guess you'll find what you need
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jmadotme:
These mods doesn't work for me, if replace the android.policy.odex with the modded version by $omator i can't power off my phone because it is made to work with extended power menu.

I only need the aosp lockscreen, nothing else.

[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
Hi,

I have a brand new Sony Ericsson UK Xperia Play on Android 2.3.3, Build: 3.0.1.A.0.145. (Latest T-Mobile OTA Update).

I want to:

Root my phone and Try out Cyanogeon Mod

Am I correct in thinking that to root my phone I need to unlock my bootloader or do i need to downgrade somehow?

Thanks,

XperiaPlayer
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
If your device is sim locked, you cannot unlock the bootloader, without an unlock bootloader, you must downgrade in order to root, check out the stickies in the android development forum :)
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
Right,

So to get it rooted it would be better to downgrade?

Regarding the sim-unlock thing, when I put the IMEI into sony's website it gave me an unlock code? (However Im going to try an orange sim in it)

Also to downgrade is it simple (As in through SEUS) or would one be better off unlocking the bootloader and flashing a rooted kernel?

Thanks,

XperiaPlayer
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
To root you do not need an unlocked bootloader, but for you to install CM7 you do need an unlocked bootloader.

If you unlock your bootloader you will not get updates from SE (SEUS, OTA or Pc Companion if you try to use any of them after unlocking your bootloader it will brick your phone) you will have to come to this fourm for the updates. Plus it will void your phones warranty but you can now relock the bootloader thanks to blagus so i suppose that doesn't matter really.

You can try unlocking your bootloader (worth a try if you cannot get another sim? it will either fail or succeed), follow the guide here. Or follow the steps on the SE website. If it works you do not need to downgrade since you can install any of the rooted .img's or custom kernels e.t.c which are on 2.3.3 and are rooted.

If you cannot unlock your bootloader you can still root but you will have to downgrade to 2.3.2 using flashtools.

You can only root (with a locked bootloader) on on 2.3.2 since gingerbreak does not work on 2.3.3 (its been patched). So if you want root on 2.3.3 you will have to flash 2.3.2 then root then do the ota update. Follow the guide here to root with a locked bootloader.

Using flashtools to downgrade is the exact same as using SEUS really (both need the phone off and to be connected in flash mode).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] vagely:
So, I got the newest OTA yesterday morning, and have had LauncherPro installed since day 1 on my phone with no issues. Even after the OTA, LauncherPro was working fine. However, I rebooted again this morning, and now it goes straight to the sense launcher. I have tried uninstalling, and re-installing LauncherPro, and it still doesn't even give me the option of which to use, it always just uses sense. I have also tried the app "HomeSwitcher" which just force closes every time. Any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Install home switcher for froyo? Try manually going to your sense app and clearing defaults..I had the same issue in miui
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] vagely:
Excellent! I did not know that sense was included in one of the applications under the settings, and that I could clear the settings.

Yes it did work.

[Defy General] sam_bris:
I had Cyanogen 7 on my Defy, I needed to get my personal data off of it to sell it.

As there was no nandroid type backup on it I decided to re-flash it.

I forgot to wipe/ clear cache etc before re-flashing.

I can see phone in RSD lite and flash it with whatever I like, but each one does not boot.

I have tried various firmwares.

I get the 'M' or sometimes 'Moto blur start up screen' depending on which firmware I have put on it. I cannot get beyond this.

I have tried https://motorola-global-en-uk.custh...00/~/defy---master-reset-/-factory-data-reset

But I do not get a menu to clear cache etc when I touch the bottom right of the screen.

What is my next step?
[Defy General] JackSparrow17:
When booting press Volume Down and when u see Android logo than press Volume Up and Volume Down together, You will get other options in that Wipe Factory reset and wipe cache than reboot go in boot loader by pressing volume Up and than flash SBF of ur choice...Best of Luck

Probably best to keep those kind of opinions to yourself unless you are sure..

Thanks to everyone else for your help.

[Defy General] gommers1978:
I heard that the Defy is not so brickable, i think that is only possible when you do something to the flash (bootloader) partion of the phone. As long as you can get into the bootloader and/or RSD recognises your phone there sould be a way to revive the phone yourself.

I'm running the pre-rooted gb version. Every time I connect my DROID x to my (or any pc), it shows the usb connected but not the usb debugging in the notification bar. Whether debugging is on or not, I can use all the drivers and modes and read the sd card via my computer but I can't use debug to test an app.

Because one signature isn't enough.

Sorry to double post but I'm just posting I got it working, however the usb debugging icon isn't there even while I'm debugging.

Are you talking about the normal ADB Debugging Icon that normally appears when usb debug is turned on and the device is plugged into a pc?

If so, I haven't seen that icon in GB, which I thought was odd since it is in both earlier and later versions of Android.

Found an old thread, tried stated fix which fubar'd the Nook. Booted from SD, flashed Clockwork, flashed CM7 n143 and it booted, formated card through CM7 settings, restored my card then apps through titanium and while browsing with Opera the nook "died", black screen.

[Droid Pro General] raddy:
Hello Everybody

I was using a different android mobile phone with stock Android dialer.

I have configured the stock android dialer to always default to Dialer Tab.

I have got Motorola Droid Pro couple of days back.

I want to dial numbers using Motorola Droid's keyboard without ensuring the calling application is accepting my inputs correctly or not.

So i want to configure the Motorola Droid Pro's Dialer too to default to Dialer Tab.

How to do that?

I don't want to create a shortcut in the homescreen for the dialer tab, because i can't associate the shortcut to hardware keys.

Or is there any dialer app in the Android Market to accept numbers only.

Most of the dialer apps shows alphabets when i enter something in the Droid Pro's keyboard.

Has anyone had this problem where the screen timeout stops music playing? I've got the wifi disconnect policy set to never disconnect as suggested elsewhere but it makes no difference.

Hello everyone.

I'm somewhat new in the world of custom ROMs, still in a process of learning things. Currnetly, I'm using Racht's Floyo 1.0, and before that I've used 0.20, 0.25. 0.30.

Everytime i flashed a new version I've just updated my system thus preserving all my apps and data.

However, I'd like to try Doixanh Froyobread, and I was wondering is there a chance to put my new ROM without losing all my data and apps? I've installed titanium Backup, however, if factory reset is needed, won't I lose that app aswell? And, how does TB actually works? When I install new ROM, I install it again, and just press restore for every app?

Anyway, sorry about bit noobish question, help would be much appreciated.
[Verizon Droid Charge] juddrock:
I need some advice peeps. I thought I lost my new charge couldn't find it for two days, took a rafting trip and hadn't seen it since. I fig it for gone down the river. I made a claim with asurion and the new phone came ystdy, in the meantime I found my phone buried under my seat in my truck. I charged it and powered it up to discover that it is still working as of today even after I made the claim thru asurion a few days ago. Now I have an extra phone. Is it illegal or does anyone know if I can sell one of the two phones. I figured my original would be flagged with a bad ESN? What should I do, I thought about giving one to my brother but don't want to get him in trouble or think I ran a scam. I did have to pay 99 dollars for the replacement, help???? WWYD???:confused:
[Verizon Droid Charge] AlexDeGruven:
It happens. In the previous days, your ESN (which is 'burned' into the SOC) would be trashed when you activate the new phone. Today, though, since LTE phones are now SIM based, a new SIM might activate the old phone just fine. It's possible, though, that the claim trashed the IMEI, but there's no way to tell without talking directly to Verizon.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
Keeping it constitutes insurance fraud, and yes, that's illegal. The right thing to do, legally and ethically, is to call Asurion and tell them you found your original phone. They'll probably send you a box and tell you to ship one of the phones back.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sirrdeezy:
If you are still using the phone you lost you can.still sell the new one.you got in the same thing happen to me
[Verizon Droid Charge] juddrock:
Technically is it Fraud? I'm just asking not saying it's not indeed. That's why I posted because I'm torn. I've paid on insurance for at least the last 5 years and never made a claim @ almost 7 dollars a month for insurance. I needed my phone ASAP and made the claim. Did I overreact, maybe, but now I forked our 99 dollars plus close to half a grand that I've paid insurance over the last 5 years. Honest mistake now I have two phones. If its not illegal I wouldn't mind just letting my brother have the phone or maybe keep it as a spare etc.. IDK really??:confused:
[Verizon Droid Charge] rand4ll:
Its insurance fraud plain and simple...the right thing to do is call them and telthen you found it
[Verizon Droid Charge] AlexDeGruven:
Actually, it's not fraud, since he believed the phone was lost and made the claim in good faith.

Fraud is a very strict legal term, the primary facet of which is intent.

Now, if it was a situation like we've seen before where the phone is having problems and he didn't want to pay to get it replaced out of warranty so instead claimed it lost, then THAT would be fraud.

This kind of thing happens all the time.

I would advise against selling the phone, since that would make your motives suspect to anyone investigating the situation.

If it will activate with a fresh SIM, however, then use it as spare or give it to your brother.
[Verizon Droid Charge] juddrock:
IDK, I really am torn, my bro's phone is junk and he's not eligible for the upgrade. If I were to take my chances should I keep the new sim in my old phone and give him my old sim in the new one or just keep the sims with the phones they are in now, or would it even matter?
[Verizon Droid Charge] AlexDeGruven:
The old sim is probably toast, anyway due to the claim.

Right now, you should be running a new SIM in your new phone. That's the one that's active on your account.

Maybe someone more familiar with the SIM activation process can chime in about a potential process.

Edit: Of course, it's also entirely possible that they burned the IMEI with the claim as well, making your old phone a very stylish and expensive MP3 player.
[Verizon Droid Charge] juddrock:
But, here's the kicker, I haven't even activated my new phone, I'm still currently using the original phone and sim, so go figure, it's not toast as of yet, should I just keep it on the DL for a month or so and see if they shut my current device down?
[Verizon Droid Charge] AlexDeGruven:
I'm surprised they haven't burned the SIM or the IMEI. At this point, you're out of my experience range, so I don't want to say something that could cause problems.
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
I would be willing to bet that IMEI on the original phone has been or is in the process of being flagged as stolen/bad/whatever. Blacklisted so it cannot be activated on VZW again. It would work on a different network like Cricket if it can be flashed but it could be that it doesn't happen until the replacement is activated. I would toss the old one in a drawer or sell as a bad ESN device without a sim or use it only as a PDA on wifi at the house. If you were to sell the new one, and keep the original, when the other guy activates it and your phone stops working its going to suck. Not saying this will happen for sure, but not worth trying. I would call Verizon and ask them what will happen.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tcollum:
If you're worried enough about it to ask here, then just do the right thing and call them and send the replacement back.
[Verizon Droid Charge] SigmunDroid:
You are wrong sir plain and simple.

See, ask yourself how did the OP get an insurance claim? He claimed the phone was lost or stolen (doesn't matter) and because his was lost... He filed a.claim...

Asurion claims it as a loss...and ships him out an insurance replacement...

Now, if or should he find the phone?

That phone belongs to Asurion NOT the OP. Get it?

Why does it belong to Asurion?

Read the terms and conditions of Asurion's service.
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
At that point Asurion (the company, not a dude named Asurion) was done with the deal. They have no interest in the old phone. It was written off a long time ago. They report the claim to Verizon who then does their part and blacklists the IMEI/ESN so that device cannot be reused on their network. Its over. He doesn't owe Asurion anything as he paid for a service he didn't use for the longest time and finally got to use it in a manner that was completely non-fradulent and valid. The OP should do whatever he wants with the phone but I wouldn't trust it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
If he chooses to keep the phone now that he's found it, that's intent. He should have read his agreement with Asurion. Legally, the phone now belongs to them.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yutzybrian:
Asurion's terms clearly state for lost/stolen phones that if the phone is ever found it is required to be sent back to them.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
Oh, and by the way: it's in no small part due to things like this our deductibles are so high. Remember when they were just $50? Yeah... Thanks.
