[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Sahara8139:
From what I see from videos on youtube, it looks like you have to bypass the activation screen in order to root it. Or is there another way to root it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tvall:
If you can make a goldcard (need a android phone to do so) you can root it no matter what software its running
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] marquimsp:
You can do the "touching the four corners" of the initial screen, config the wifi connection and then do the activation using wifi...

That's what I've been doing (I dont have a data plan).

:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vis0nz:
I didn't know that actually worked. I've tried it on my previous HTC Dreams, HTC Liberty, and my current HTC Magic and never once did it work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 754boy:
What I did was update the phone to Froyo first and then used wifi to go throuigh the setup process.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] marquimsp:
When I was using official roms it didn't work, I thought it was bs too... Then I rooted and started using other roms and it has been working regularly!

Just touch upper left-upper right-lower right-lower left slowly, but imagine the notification bar and the dock are there, so touch a little bit to the inside of the screen.

;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] I_Cornholio:
Bypass activation

Install a Vodafone stock SAPPIMG and you can use the phone without a data plan. If you want a non-Vodafone ROM, which is advisable, install Universal Androot (to root your phone), run the app and follow instructions, and then flash recovery and custom rom. Make sure you follow instructions, though. :D

I forgot - Here's a link to a SAPPIMG that should work.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4895749

To flash it, rename the file to SAPPIMG.nbh, move to your sdcard, and shut down your phone. Then boot into hboot mode: Hold volume down while you boot your phone and it'll install it.

With a Vodafone ROM, you can skip the Google sign-in until you have Wifi turned on, and then you should be able to use the phone normally.

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

WAIT!!! Before you download that SAPPIMG, check if your phone is 32B or 32A - boot into Fastboot mode (back+power) and it should say. If it's 32B, flash the one above. If not, find a Vodafone 32A SAPPIMG and flash that instead.

[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Credit goes to BrwnSuperman for finding these and then I took them and put them in a cwm flashable zip. So, I figured I would post this in the Development section (Mods feel free to move it if you see fit) since many of us are on mtd roms and most of these roms have been updated to the new 2.3.5 Android code. Here are the updated 2.3.5 GB gapps: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?67t2077vf4q3zd6 Included are the new gtalk, new car home, new market, updated google search, and all the rest of the little system service apps etc. that can't be downloaded from the market. All (I think) updated to 2.3.5. Flash from cwm recovery and enjoy. :)

Edit: here is a mirror as it was reported that there was a problem with the mediafire link: http://www.multiupload.com/Q184Q5YS09
[Fascinate Android Development] KitsuneKnight:
I believe you forgot... you know... the gapps :p
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Yea, I got kinda jumpy and made the thread without having the file uploaded yet. Lol. There you go. :)

[Fascinate Android Development] jami2976:
curious

just noticed that i have not installed GAPPS since i first came on board on the 07/04 build, i also installed the new market..not sure if that has anything to do with it......so has anyone else installed the new market and from there havent had any issues? running the 07/28 build....and still the new market works...
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Can't Google apps be updated via the market...I flashed the one listed in the OP of the CM7 thread, but have updated through the market, so are these newer than that?

Also, if I am on CM7 7/18 winch is Android 2.3.4...would flashing this screw up something?
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Well, I know google talk can't be updated through the market and yes, these are the gapps that came from the nexus 2.3.5 code release earlier this week. All the little google services apps are updated as well, not just the main apps. You can just wipe cache/dalvik and flash these but you might have to erase the old ones manually.
[Fascinate Android Development] sephirothhoo:
Can I remove some of the apk that I am not going to use in the gapps.zip?
[Fascinate Android Development] Maisum:
Just installed on latest CM7 (not the nightly), runs good. I've been wanting this new gtalk, if only it could be updated via the market. Thanks thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Yes, go to settings>applications>manage applications>and uninstall the ones you don't want.
[Fascinate Android Development] sephirothhoo:
I mean remove it from the zip before I flash it in cwm.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
yea, just use 7zip: http://www.7-zip.org/
[Fascinate Android Development] sageDieu:
Could somebody upload a mirror to xda or multiupload, megaupload, something like that? the mediafire link just won't work right.

[Fascinate Android Development] jazzyjames:
So I hope I am not the only one with this issue, but when I flash it either on CM7 or JTs AOSP 2.3.5 rom, after I select what apps I want, the loading just keeps spinning and spinning until I rotate the screen, then I select to install, then it keeps spinning again until I rotate back, and I have to do that with EVERY app during the initial app installs, and this was also after a complete wipe of DATA, cache and Dalvik
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Weird, first I've heard of that. I'm guessing you are the only one with that issue.
[Fascinate Android Development] Evo4sickness:
Quick question I have CM7.1 with 2.3.4 will these gapps work I really only wanted the new talk with video and text. Just wated make sure this is the right one.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
download the file and then unzip it from you PC. Then dropbox just the gtalk file to your phone and install it. Or, if you have root explorer, from your phone open the zip and install the gtalk.apk
[Fascinate Android Development] chirantan.f:
to OP or anyone else in the know, will these gapps work with any other handset, like say t-mo vibrant?
[Fascinate Android Development] akellar:
yes (10 chars)
[Fascinate Android Development] Azuma73:
So I can flash this over 2.3.4 GAPPS that came with the CM7 and it'll just update everything so as to be current?
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
well, you might actually have to delete duplicates
[Fascinate Android Development] krige:
Can I flash this over the Samsung latest stock JVR rom?
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Yes, you *should* be able to.
[Fascinate Android Development] krige:
Nope... it didn't work. Gmail has disappeared. As for the rest:

- Talk: I don't see any difference from 2.3.4

- new car home: present and working fine

- new market: present and working fine

- updated google search: I don't see any difference from 2.3.4

How do I revert back to the previous state? Or at least, how do I get Gmail back?
[Fascinate Android Development] akellar:
Download it from the market?
[Fascinate Android Development] krige:
Wow, it worked! Thanks a lot!!! :D
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Well, you can download gmail 2.3.5 from the market......it's not included in the gapps. I don't see how it didn't work seeing as how they are not device specific gapps? And those apps (talk, google search) are new versions, we may just not be able to tell by looking at them. Probably back-end stuff. All the system service apps have been updated to 2.3.5 as well (google contacts sync, google services framework etc).
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EyeAndroid:
Hey Everyone,

So I just picked up a MyTouch Slide for my Mother (Yes I'm a good son) and I need 3 things in a ROM as a must for her.

She wants a very large font & so I know I can just go into the build.prop file and edit the density to 240. But I've tried it with sense roms and for some reason, nothing looks right & it doesn't work. I tried it on a Vanilla Froyo rom and it looks perfect.

2ndly, she is in an area where she gets like 1 bar at her house so I need Wifi Calling (I use it on my sensation and it works flawlessly). This is a must!

And then 3rdly it needs to be able to hotspot tether for her new wifi tablet.

So 3 things, again...

1. A vanilla froyo/gingerbread rom (for lcd density purposes)

2. A rom that supports wifi calling & works!

3. Hotspot tethering.

Please let me know what you suggest. Thanks for your help in advance!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cramill:
Have you tried CyanogenMod? CM7 is gingerbread and I think its meant to be pretty close to vanilla, but with extra features. I would assume the font fix would work with CM.

I'm running the latest CM7 stable (found here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=espresso)

And I flashed this wifi fix: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1177650 (the file linked to in the first post is flashable with clockworkMOD recovery v2.5.0.7)

I have Wifi calling working as well. I don't think it comes with CM, but you can install it and it works.

Also, the wifi hotspot is built into CM7 as well, or you can install an app for that.

edit: oh heh, i just saw your other thread and you got some good replies there.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EyeAndroid:
Awesome thank you sir! So is everything on Cm7 stable? I've heard its hit and miss?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cramill:
I'd say CM7 stable is pretty good. I haven't had any issues with it. If you do have issues with wifi or gps - there are fixes for those (the wifi fix is linked above).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Feoen:
Please look at the SD Card Support section here: http://blogs.computerworld.com/18692/android_32_upgrade

So is this site saying with Android 3.2, if we were on another tablet rather than the Transformer, we wouldn't be able to copy and paste a file onto the external SD card at all?

But since we have the Transformer, Asus allows us to copy to the SD card?

Am I understanding this right?

If yes, WTF is Google thinking not letting you copy to the SD card on other tablets?! That was literally the selling point of the Transformer for me...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
true

oiuooigiugui
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I'm guessing that Toshiba will enable full SD card support on the Thrive as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] RRtexasranger:
What is the use in preventing people from writing to their SD cards? I just don't get it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Feoen:
I just don't understand why Google wouldn't want us managing data on external storage. I feel bad for Xoom users... They're being treated like they're the casual iPad user who wouldn't be able to take full advantage of having a file browser.

That's one of the benefits to using Android over iOS, and I just don't see the sense.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zephiK:
Xoom 3G doesn't even have 3.2 yet. Tsk tsk tsk!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tumbes20000:
Wrong. Its google. Xoom is the default google device so no mods from motorola allowed (which is why motoblur is not on there). It is also why it gets updates first at least in the states. Asus and acer modded theirs to allow for sd support, but its not googles code. Also way samsung tab 10.1 has no sd card slot.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stcardinal:
It makes no sense to me unless it's a feature the tablet manufactures wanted so we're forced to buy the larger gig storage devices. I'm hoping that one day we can get a custom ROM that fixes this dumbassness.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Feoen:
Right, which means that the Xoom is really gimped compared to competing tablets. I have no idea why someone who is in the market for an Android tablet would want the Xoom over a Transformer when it clearly has inferior features.

What does Google have to gain by not offering write-to-SD functionality? This is just further fragmenting Android...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klau1:
let me give you a market hint Google,

no SD card access = BUY iPAD/iPhone
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SoMe0nE2tAlK2:
Not sure about the rest of you guys but I lost the ability to copy files to my SD card with es file explorer.

The odd thing is my SNES9X emulator seems to have no problems writing sa'e files onto the SD card.

Edit: nevermind it was user error. Had a file with the same name in the folder. We still retain full read / write capabilities.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fopho:
I currently have an HTC sensation and was thinking about trading it for a g2x. I just have a couple of questions.

I have read about a lot of bugs which I think were fixed in the most recent update but I was not too concerned about stock bugs because I plan on rooting of either way. Get on cyanogen mob.

What I was concerned about was of it has the same issues as the sensation.

1) the sensation has very bad heat issues. After about twenty minutes of games the bottom strip becomes dangerously hot. Does the g2x have any heat problems?

2) does it have any issues with the screen being unresponsive? Sometimes.my sensation screen won't work.

3) and also how is the battery life? I'm coming from the evo 4g so I don't expect anything amazing

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
1) Personally mine does not over heat at all. It sometimes heats a little bit when i flash a rom but nothing too hot. Some people had heat issues but not many.

2) Mine screen is responsive all the time, I havent got screen of death yet.

3) On heavy use I get about 19 hours, medium about 24, and barely any use I get 30 hours.

I am using eaglesblood 1.0.5 (froyo) and always overclocked to 1.1 using faux kernel. Freeze all bloat you dont need and you will be fine

[Motorola Droid X2] nanodan:
(Edited 8/1/11)

Gingerbread update for the droid x2 is now available to soak testers (2.3.3) !

Non-Rooted (stock) Gingerbread update file

Pre-Rooted Gingerbread Update file

(Links are from p3Droid's website, you'll need to create an account there, which you should do anyway- he's the one that did all the work pre-rooting!)

Thanks to P3Droid for his work on pre-rooting the gingerbread update!

Instructions:

Download Either one of the aforementioned links (the prerooted if you want root, the stock if you don't)

Rename whichever file you choose to "update.zip" and place it in the ROOT of your external SDCard.

-----

If you downloaded the pre-rooted:

Your phone needs to be in complete stock for the update to work. SBF it if you debloated or rooted.

After SBFing, do a factory reset. Reactivate your phone, and reroot it using Gingerbreak. (Credits go to their respective developers)

Install Tenfar Lin's recovery. (Credits go to their respective developers)

Boot into system recovery and install update from sdcard. Select update.zip and install! It should automatically perform another factory reset, but if it doesn't, perform another manually.

Start up, reactivate, and you're done!

----

If you downloaded the non-rooted:

Your phone needs to be in complete stock for the update to work. SBF it if you debloated or rooted.

Power off your phone, and enter stock recovery. Select "Install from SDcard:update.zip" or whatever the command is called.

Once finished, reboot and you should be set!

-----

If you are unsure on how to SBF your phone:

Download daywalker04's SBF leak file and extract it.

Download and install the latest moto drivers from Motorola's website itself.

Download and install RSDLite 5.3 here. Reboot your computer.

Start RSDLite and select the downloaded SBF file.

Power your phone off. Turn it back on, and as soon as you see the "DualCore" screen, hold the power button and the volume down button.

Once you see text at the top, use the volume down button until you see "RSD" and hit the up-volume button.

Plug your phone into your computer.

RSDLite should detect a Daytona device - select it and hit start. Once completed, your phone should reboot and be at complete stock.

Are you rooted? I'm wondering if I need to unroot.
