The kernels which have embedded CWM are not fully functional on the R800x. There is a CWM recovery image which you can use with the command :

fastboot boot recovery.img

You mustn't flash it as you'd flash a normal kernel, as it will brick your phone (it's not a kernel, it's just the recovery!). Until you get a kernel with embedded recovery which works as it ought to,, you can use that for CWM.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanderharris86:
I thought Doom's kernel had it embedded and therefore there would be a way to boot into it... obviously I was wrong though haha.

Thanks for the reply!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
doomlords kernel does, if you are using doomlords kernel, power the device off, when off press the power button to turn on, then keep tapping back till the device boots into recovery..... but like Logseman becareful AND DO NOT FLASH BINARYS RECOVERY.IMG :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubsfan3493:
Search these forums for what is called recoveryPLAY.img and you need to fastboot flash that.

The command prompt should be fastboot flash boot recoveryPLAY.img

I can't install RSD Lite 5.3.1.

I'm running Windows 7 x64, and I have downloaded RSD 5.3.1 from 3 or 4 separate download sites to make sure it just wasn't a bad package.

The error that I am getting is attached, it's error 2738, and yes, I have googled; it doesn't seem like anyone has had this issue of not being able to install RSD.

I have rebooted my laptop a few times, and I was able to install RSDLite 5.0 with no problems.

RSD Lite Win 7 x64 Fix

Since RSD Lite no longer comes with an EXE and therefore installing in compatibilty mode is not longer an option, I spent some time researching and banging my head against my desk in frustration that it wouldn't install. In a past job, I was a Windows Developer. When RSD Lite installs and reaches the error, it is in the Commit Stage - Therefore, all the installation (save for the creation of icons and other post-installation scripts) has been done.

All this to say, when you see the Error 2738, Don't click "OK" right away. Navigate to the installation directory, Copy all the files and paste them to a different directory in the Program Files (x86) directory. Then click OK.

Create a shortcut to the SDL.exe file (on your desktop, start menu, wherever you like) and edit the compatibility of the shortcut to always run as administrator.

Double-click your new shortcut et voilà! RSD Lite actually works on Windows 7 when it previously did not.

I have done and tested with RSD Lite 5.6 and 5.7
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnlgalt:
Interesting. I wonder why this is happening to some folks? I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and every version of RSD lite has always installed flawlessly for me.

Good looking out jduke882 - But, in researching Error 2738 I found that it has to deal with not being able to access VBScript run time for custom action. So, all the folks that cannot install RSD Lite - is your VBScript runtime working?

More info here: http://www.jakeludington.com/window...cess_vbscript_run_time_for_custom_action.html

And M$ even created a HotFix for it, see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...time-for/1a4499ae-8bc1-4534-9c6f-4d399ac70d9a

FWIW: Those of you on x64 OSs could not use the fix posted by supermerkin b/c that was 32bit specific. The command to be entered is as follows:

reg delete "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}" /f

The 64bit machines need that Wow6432Node path inserted in order to delete the correct key.

Also, as noted in the first link, re-registering the vbscript.dll to the system is also needed:

c:\windows\syswow64\regsvr32 vbscript.dll

.

For people with custom Windows installations (i.e. not C:) this command will always work, regardless of where windows is installed:

%windir%\syswow64\regsvr32 vbscript.dll

[Vibrant General] se7en10:
I like the thinnest of Vibrant, so have decided to use 2 swapping batteries instead of an extended one. Both batteries are of the same Amp, but one is newer than the original.

I'm sure the phone battery accuracy is not the same. Is there a way to calibrate so both are nearly identical?

Vibrant on Project-V + Bali-X 1.2
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
I have 2 batteries too and I only calibrate when I install a new rom.

Here's exactly what I do.

1. Flash rom

2. Put a battery that's full charged

3. calibrate

4. Use it until it has a low power(don't need to drain it all the way)

5. charge it all the way to 100% or put the other battery that's full charged

Don't really have to do this but I do it anyway.
[Vibrant General] se7en10:
Thanks for the advice, I do the same to calibrate. But my concern is which battery do you calibrate cause both of them can't be equal even if they're charge to 100%.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike21pr:
This question has flooded my mind almost as much as Android has flooded the market...

Does anyone else think that Android has gone out of control? I mean there are literally dozens of devices announced / released every week, updates are a mess, developing is tricky due to all the different versions of the OS, screen resolution, cpu, gpu etc. The custom overlays is so common that the AOSP phones are almost non existant.

Manufacturers release a new phone each week since its an easy buck because its free and they know that with Android it cant keep a decent life span since its forgotten pretty much the day its released since all the new phone arriving or due to arrive, so asking for good support is a bit much nowadays. It seems like Android is becoming the new "featurephone OS" since almost every phone released runs it, so imo it loses its Premium feel since i can run most of the same apps in a crappy free budget device than a high end monster save some games and speed...

I have had dozens of android devices, from the HTC Touch port, to the EVO 3D, and frankly its hard to get exited for an android device nowadays since theres always something bigger and better almost immediatly instead of living out its life span before it gets eclipsed by something else. Thats why i like the iOS and WP7 approach since they release it in batches (cept apple because its 1) in a certain time frame, so you know you dont have to worry about being left behind or being behind the curve for a good while (i you care about that stuff like me) OS updates are a sure thing, app compatibility is all there and it just feels more integrated and organized

Android feels like mess actually, i have an android and really like the OS but honestly, its a touch friendly version of Windows Mobile in my eyes. It has all the features you would wanr, but performance is inconsistant, user experience is a mess, updates are hit and miss, and development is a headache

Sorry to rant so much, i really like Android actually, but got to the point that flooded the market with such a thing has ruined a good thing imo

Any imput?

It'll really be interesting to see what the future holds. Android could replace Windows and MacOS in a lot of ways.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
Good post OP. I feel, as you do, that the fragmentation of the Android platform is a complete mess. It would have been nice if Google had more control over what happened to the OS on a manufacturer level. I'd have liked, at the very least, to have seen a minimum hardware requirement, an outright ban on carrier bloat and manufacturer skins too. I'm a purist though and some people buy HTC, for example, because they want 'Sense'. Personally i believe these skins should have been an optional component, perhaps available as a Market download.

Updates to the OS should have been arranged in a more consistent and controlled manner too, but with the diversity of hardware it has become a crap-shoot. Manufacturers are churning out phone after phone and most are horribly derivative. Of course, it's all about the $$.

I'm a fan of what Microsoft are doing with the WP7 platform and can only dream about a similar scenario with Android!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tt0204:
It is just because android is "opened". All manufacturers can produce and sell a phone running android. Like the computers, for example, you can't say to HP that "Why did you guys releases computers so fast? ASUS just released one yesterday!"

Also about what you think android is complicated is because of it's customizability (ability to be customized). When it can be very personalized, it gets a lot of settings. When it have a lot of settings, things get complicated. This is also why every android device is unique :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave2582:
I've always been a PC guy and have used Macs in the past. I'm just used to Windows as opposed to an iOS. The fact that Android is open sourced, it allows for any user to customize it however they want.

I own an EVO 3D, and own an iPod Touch. There's endless possibilities on what I can do on the 3D versus what I can do on the iPod. I also know that the iPod can be jailbroken as well.

I do understand your argument as there are many different phones that come out each week/month. It gets overwhelming as to which device is better and what not, but it all comes down to what the end user wants for a device that fits their needs. A typical user just wants to be able to call, text, and get online. These typical users would like to see different styles, colors, sizes that fit their lifestyle.

Apple has a standardized iPhone/iPod and it receives an update once in a while. Granted, you can pick out a cover for it in different colors and styles, but it has the same UI look.

But I, on the other hand, like to tinker and like to customize the device of my choice.

Seems like all rom bases are covered that can be achieved. Like you said we have AOSP, MiUi and old sense roms to choose from. I don't see anything else needed. At least we don't have a bunch of winzip devs cluttering up the place.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
Agreed,

I still have nandroids of new and old sense roms and would be content to run with the nightlies till the next N1 comes out.

Haven't researched much and not AOSP savvy--so, not sure if ICS could even run on the current N1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
There are no proper Sense ROMs to choose from, only eViL's ages-old Desire port that is completely functional, all other ROMs suffer from various parts that aren't working properly or at all.

There is still AOSP, CM and MIUI.

Well, it's pity that Sense ROM developers are gone, otherwise I might still be using N1. But I guess such is life. At least MIUI has some good Sense elements to it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
I've always liked MIUI from last fall when I started flashing it. Weekly updates and always moving forward. Kinda like Cyanogen. Has gotten a little unstable for me lately. Not sure why.

Interested to see their new phone, maybe 1.5ghz

So you no longer have your N1 Jack? What did you get?

I am waiting for the big boys--4.3/5 screens and big/fast processors. Problem is only 6 months into TMO contract.

My biggest issue with N1 is typing. Screen sucks and is very unstable or my fingers are just too fat.

I do remember someone (maybe you) mentioning getting a bigger screened phone and really liking the typing on it.

Well the Nexus One came right at the time when touch screens weren't fully developed by HTC. even on my HD2 screen kinda sucked compare to others. Unfortunately I think we still need the qwerty keyword for heavy text usage i just wish they were android options of the dell venue pro.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
I am also excited for these new phones, although I think a 5" might be pushing it for me. I am kinda curious if the 720p+ capable screen is going to make it into a phone. Either way, I want to get a qHD screen minimum. Luckily, I only have about 6 months left on my TMO contract (then I get to decide if I want to ride it out with a possible switch to AT&T or jump ship while I still can). Here's hoping that the Nexus 3/Prime/Whatever is as good as I am hoping it will be.

As for typing, have you tried swype? Due to the way it works, fat fingers really don't affect it. It did take me a day or two to get used to it, and probably about a week until I considered myself extremely proficient. But now it drives me nuts using a regular on-screen keyboard.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I still have the N1, but now it's my wife's, for several months already. I convinced her to move from her old HTC Touch, and she agreed to take the Nexus. I bought myself the most cost-effective phone on the market back at the time - which was MyTouch 4G. I don't like the bulky 4"+ phones, Nexus was fine for me in size, so MT4G fits very nicely. It's a head and shoulders above Nexus in everything, but mostly - in existence of proper Sense ROMs.

Actually, since my wife complained about the crazy screen and the not-so-nice for her MIUI, I got her Desire S. She really likes Sense UI, and doesn't like MIUI. But I got unlucky - the phone is bad and needs to be replaced, so it'll be another week or two until she gets a functional one. And then I'll sell the N1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
I got a free MT4g in Feb when I changed carriers from Cincinnati Bell to TMO. Son uses it and likes it alot. I do like Sense, but as you said they are not real stable yet, but close. Evil's is good and Micro's was pretty stable for me. I did pretty well on abhi's RCADS one and loved the Weather Lockscreen. Made me just want to keep unlocking phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
That's interesting. I got my wide the MT4G earlier this year. I really liked the phone, but for the fact that it always seemed sluggish next to my N1. I rooted it, and removed some of the bloat, but it still never felt quite as smooth as my phone - she even noticed the same, from the odd occasion that I let her use my phone...

The MT4G also had a big weakness - the inability to swim, so my wife now has a G2, which neither of us like...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
That's funny DR, my son swims with it all the time--no issues--:D

He is happy with it--to him it is a phone and mp3 player--weather and some internet

Might add he is 30--not a kid

The N1's screen looks nicer though, when we hold them side by side and brightness is all the way up. I don't like the 4 hard keys feel as much though

edit: Solved, just flash one .zip at a time. So flash AOSP lockscreen.zip then reboot, go back into CWM and flash the next one. Thanks anoninja118!

Hoping someone can help, I flashed the Sens3 theme on Eclipse(I know it's for GC, I didn't care lol) and it was pretty buggy so I immediately rebooted into CWM and flashed eclipse131/aosp/screencapture/Vrecorderfix and rebooted. When it finally booted up I noticed the lockscreen was still the puzzle, I thought that was weird so I tried taking a screenshot(back+home) and it wouldn't work. I rebooted and reflashed the .zips(excluding eclipse131 this time) then rebooted and again, none of them were active. So I went back into recovery and reflashed Eclipse131 then let it fully reboot so it could convert and ****, then I went back into recovery again and tried flashing the .zips, still nothing. Last thing I tried was clearing cache/dalvik and reflashing but alas, to no prevail.

Any help would be appreciated, I have everything backed up in Titanium so it's no big deal to lose my apps but I don't want to redo my 7 home screens lol.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
