[Wildfire General] ArbiterGR:
Well i'm a noob around these corners too, having my first-ever android phone since april and trying to learn as much as possible from this awesome community.

That being said, You can open and/or extract a rom, by using a zip/rar archiver like winzip, winrar etc. You can then add or remove system apps by moving to system/app (at least that's the tree hierarchy on cyanogen, but i guess it should be universal). In case you need to modify or add files, you can even do it directly from your zip/rar manager on the fly without the need of ectracing and re-compressing the rom.

That's my 2 bits of knowledge for you :P
[Wildfire General] Derrian:
Hey, that's exactly the info I was looking for.

Thank you.:)

Has anyone been able to figure out a way to set this to any downloaded apps. I would love to be able to set this to my screenshot button.

Set Photons to stunning!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mxmarcus:
I don't think they provide a way to set it to a downloaded application. I set mine to the browser and downloaded one from the market and set as default. It works!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sparky_McBurning:
Download Homesmack (which I'd post a link to but this stupid forum won't let me yet.) It's free in the app market.

It'll do exactly what you want :-)

Mine is set to the Moto Task Manager.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cmucooper:
Yeah you need root for it still though if I am correct

[Motorola Photon 4G] nezb:
Yes, that's correct.

How to minimize apps?

like im playing game, and someone text, zzzzzzzzzzz
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Some games will hold a saved state, so just pause the game and press the home button. Then just go back to the game's icon when you're ready to go back to it. That said I've had more than 1 that don't do that and its quite frustrating.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
It's not the games fault, it's cause the play has such little ram, the OS will quickly close background applictions :mad:
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
As long as your not playing online just press home. To re-access the game, hold the home key and reselect the game icon.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
I've noticed this issue with certain games no matter what, for example this pinball game I downloaded from the market a while ago, not even on my Play but my old Droid which has even less ram. Other games would pause and go back no problem, but the Pinball game, no way. Tried it on my tablet too and had the same issue. Its pretty annoying, not sure why that happens.

Also Android will freeze apps, but not close them, especially if it runs out of memory. You can still go back to it. The only time it closes them is if the app is idle for a long time.
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
Some games are designed to automatically close on exit to home screen.

However a lot of the games that are on the Xperia Play launcher allow a quick return via home key.
[Focus General] AboOmar:
Hi xda devs.

happy to join the forum

I just got my new Samsung Focus through eBay itis unlocked and work on any carrier very well.

I also got a PNY 32GB microSD card and it has a sticker in front that says itis now compatible with Windows Phone 7

I have two questions:

First, I need to make sure is this microSD card is REALLY WP7 compatible ?

Second, as the guide said, I need to format the phone to make the microSD card work normally, IF I FORMAT THE PHONE, IS IT WILL BE SIM LOCKED AGAIN OR NOT ?? and Does this FORMAT process is different than Reset your phone in the about page ??

Appreciating any help

Thanks :)
[Focus General] Vico100:
it wil not relock your phone
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Afaik PNY 32GB is class 2 and that is working reliably.

Formatting the phone doesn't affect SIM lock. As I said in another thread:

Updating (re/formatting, flashing etc) the ROM does NOT change the SIM lock.

Locks are in NVRAM - you do not overwrite this section by flashing firmware or formatting.﻿ If the device is unlocked, flashing the ROM will keep the phone unlocked.
[Focus General] AboOmar:
EnderPsp Thank you alot for your explanation and FYI the PNY microSD is class 4
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
You're welcome.

You might want to read here, the last 2 posts, someone has a similar card. The whole thread might interest you, actually, as it's about working SD cards for Focus.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] arikyeo:
Just telling you guys the story first.

I have this spare HD2 lying around after getting the Sensation which also has a severely cracked screen (LCD working, and screen protector on top to prevent injured fingers when using :) ). A thought occurred to me: Why not build Android to function like an iTouch? I.e: Remove anything related to the SIM card/ remove everything that involves making calls, SMS, etc but retain the functionality of Android apps etc(As I will be using DATA SIM). Most importantly, I want it to be fully optimised for those (I believe that the phone/sms functions running in the background would affect the full potential for the HD2 running music, video, and other apps). I do know how to flash ROMS, and customise downloaded ROMS (e.g: Slipstreaming apps I want, remove some apps I don't want, customise build.prop, etc) and also some programming (a bit of obj-C, a bit of C#, and lots of VB.NET). However, I do not know how to build Android from scratch. Hence I would appreciate if:

-I can get devs to assist me in building Android from source code and customise it so it fits my expectations

-I can get support for this project as I plan to release my work to the public when its done

I will give credit to those who helped. Thanks.

Sir, i seriously doubt your state of mental stability.

And as for your request, the best you can do is use in Airplane mode and switch on wireless. Works for me when i don't want to waste my battery.

Just so that you know, the Qualcomm processors have 2 ARM CPUs on the die, 1 for Radio(Wireless/bluetooth/GSM etc) and 1 for the General purpose/Logic etc... I don't think GSM functions and the phone app running in the background would even mean or translate into anything near a burden or even something which would affect the performace for the CPU in your HD2.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] stirkac:
you're pretty much dead-end on this one mate.

android is built ground-up for use in mobile phones. look at those cheap shenzen tablets..they all have no network icon in top bar, and com.android.phone must be running. removing this will only result not working phone as these also include core services-market access etc

only hope you have for doing what you want is to somehow get honeycomb workin' on qsd8250 and tiny fingers to interact with it.

imho best bet would be to just install CM or MIUI, and hide phone etc from launcher.

refer to post above for "very exact explanation" of everything you are trying to do

Is there a method for Rooting/Changing Kernal of Stock 3.2 3G Verizon Xoom yet?

I got this xoom for a steal (400$ for someone else's contract cancellation) and it's stock on 3.2. Any advice?-AT:confused:
[Xoom General] hammer4203:
I think it is the same as 3.1. You have to go backwards. And then manually updated to 3.2.
[Xoom General] Jaredsk74:
Not directly, but you can downgrade the firmware quite easily. First make sure you have adb and fastboot working. There are guides out there on how to do that. Then go into fastboot and type in without quotes "fastboot oem unlock". That will wipe your data so backup if necessary. After that, download the stock images for 3.0 here. All these images are for 3.0, just make sure you pick the right model. Once you have downgraded, let motorola update you to 3.1, from there you can then follow a guide for rooting 3.1 stock on verizon 3g xoom.
[Xoom General] Neofury212:
Thanks for the info. I will try to root from unlock from 3.2 stock using fast boot and let you know how it goes.-AT
[Xoom General] Neofury212:
Can someone please provide me with a working link to download xoom root toolz? Thanks-AT;)
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
In the end what you you want to have?

If you are going to the rom, its already rooted.

Fastboot OEM unlock

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (cwm from the forums)

[Install tiamat kernel and superuser.apk and su binary] or [just Install tiamat rom.]

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom General] Neofury212:
I know I can fastboot root while on 3.2 ota, but I would LIKE to have a ROM/kernal to install instead of just rooting. I cant seem a tutorial on how to start from 3g 3.2 and get to custom kernal/rom. I really appreciate the direction you are providing.
[Xoom General] Neofury212:
also I cant find root toolz anywhere.-AT
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
I just told you. You just need to OEM unlock, install recovery, then install rom in recovery. You don't need a root.zip. Roms are already rooted.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom General] Neofury212:
I know I am beating the dead horse to death here but I just want to clarify everything one last time:

1.OEM unlock - I understand!

2. Install Recovery - Which versions of recovery are 3G 3.2 compatible? or are all recovery images the same?

3. Rom in Recovery - Again, I just want to make sure I am selecting a 3G compatible rom. I know that all roms have root access. What I am unsure of is if a custom kernal is included in the rom (never had to worry about this on my bootlocked DX).

Thank you so much for being patient with me and my new Xoom 3g. I how you can remember how frustrating it was when you first got you Xoom. I already love my Xoom and I know I will love it even more once I OC 50%+ and have root access :) Adam
[Xoom General] hammer4203:
It really only matters if it is wifi it 3g. It is not that hard on the xoom.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Grab cwm 3.2.0.0 from the forum for your recovery. Grab tiamat 2.1 for your rom. It has 3g and oc kernel.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Has a2sd been correctly installed? Assuming you are running DT a2sd, run 'a2sd check' in adb or terminal in the root shell (i.e after 'su') and read the text to see if a2sd has been installed correctly.

Pull the battery from the phone then put it back in after a few seconds, then switch on or keep it switched off and connect to pc via usb and use seus or flashtool to repair the phone
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rooterdam:
Nice tip but the x10 Mini has no "loose" battery.

if this is a "bootloop" you need to use SEUS and redo the whole thing with root and reainstall everything inc. custom ROM.

What you could do with the battery is:

Take back cover off, there is a small rubbery "plug" pry that away from the phone.

Beneath that rubber you can see a white electrical socket.

That socket is connecting the battery to the phone.

That COULD dp the trick.On occassions..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Lancerfq:
Yeah when I posted it I didn't notice he meant mini, was my bad, flashing with seus is what I also mentioned so can forget pulling the battery part :)

You can always pres the home and power buttons at the same time, it will do a hard reboot. Pressing the back-button several times when the kernel logo shows up should get you back into xrecovery.

If you need flashmode, press home and power and as soon as the screen goes off (completely black) press the back-button with the usb-cable already attached to your computer and your phone.

Hi,

I have a really strange problem. Yesterday I was playing with a game on my Galaxy S.

Suddenly the game started to lag and refuse input. The home key and the power button did not work.

So I took out the battery and restarted. I've done this before many times without problems.

But this time, after the reboot, I am missing 3 icons of the GUI: Phone, Contacts and Message.

I have only "Application" left, in the lower part of the screen.

I do not want to do an hard reset right now, I'm in vacation, I have many useful apps and don't

want to lose them right now.

I wish to kindly ask if some expert can tell me how to get my icons back !

Thank you !

PS: my rom is a stock Samsung 2.3.4 and I have root access.

EDIT 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've found this advice:

From the home screen, press Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All

Search for TwLauncher and clear the data stored in there.

but.... I cannot find TWlauncher in my Applications. Even changing language from Italian to english. Maybe it was on Froyo, and now on Gingerbread it has another name ??

EDIT 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After changing language, the name of some system application also change. But this seems a slow process. After 5 minutes from language change, I have finally found TWlauncher in my application list and following the advice i got my icons back.

For speedtest.net I get is 7Mbps, but my notebook clocks 13Mbps over wi-fi.

I don't have another computer with me right now, therefore no way to test PC to PC wireless speed (one on wired, other on wireless). But from the looks of it, transformer is at least 2x slower than my notebook according to speedtest results; but since my ADSL connection max outs at 13Mbps anyways (even over a wired connection), I'm pretty sure that is far lower than the maximum achievable speed with my router. I was expecting speeds in the range of 20Mbps +. :confused:
