Nobody ever replied for me when I was asking about CWM and Odin formats. It took me a while to find info, but I'll write a guide soon. This is part of what I used.

http://androidforums.com/behold-2-all-things-root/54424-creating-custom-roms-backups-odin.html

I found that it's best to create an Odin rom under Linux since you can add the md5 signature at the end of the file, and create a proper tar format.

Read the whole post, and feel free to PM me if you have any questions. Again, I only recommend doing this on Linux. If you're on windows you can download both Virtualbox and Ubuntu for free.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] komanguy:
I'm facing a big issue since two weeks:

I've replaced my wifi_supplicant file on my tab (froyo rom) and rebooted the pad.

As soon as I turned the wifi on, a few seconds later, it automatically disabled switched off.

So I decided to flash a new rom (stock gingerbread). This time, the pad keeps rebooting after switching wifi on. Also the bluetooth can't connect to any device.

I flashed again a stock froyo rom, erased everything etc... the issue still remaining.

I noticed that other people are facing this problem but I tried everything (flashed a new modem, many roms, custom roms etc...) , the wifi and bluetooth doesn't work.

Do you have any solution?

Thanx.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitsson:
Does anyone know how you can remove or at least rearrange items in the Share list? When I choose to share for instance an image or a webpage, the Share list is populated with a long list of apps, few of which I'd want to share to.

Be great if I could remove the ones I'd never use, or at least rearrange them so that they are below the ones I use.

Many thanks for any suggestions.

Can someone please update me in regards to downloading roms and related files.

Is it possible to download directly with the charge?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
As long as you have CWM you can flash the CWM zips, although some roms etc are odin only.

[Verizon Droid Charge] spjetrovic:
Thanks ! But the question is can I use the Samsung Charge to download directly to the phone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Yes, of course...as long as you already have CWM installed you can just download through your phone, boot into recovery, and flash through there.

tl;dr As long as you have CWM recovery installed you can do pretty much everything on your phone.

Hello everyone. I have a strang problem I need help with: I have an inspire rooted running Virtuous Unity custom rom & yesterday the maket disappeared from my phone alltogether. So after much searching I found a link to download the market free. All was good untill

[HTC Inspire 4G] SuicideMyk:
sounds like the market dont like you lol :D

no really sounds like a bad bug when you flashed the ROM, you might want to give it another shot doing a full wipe and reflash the rom again and see if the problem is still there
[General Questions and Answers] slavko4:
Hi folks,

There's been a new interesting app in Android Market - PackSMS. It allows to send and receive compressed SMS messages, which means longer message for the same price.

App works fine in GSM networks. It hasn't been tested in the CDMA network (like Verizon or Sprint) so far, so I'd like to kindly ask you for help verifying if it does or does not work there.

Could anyone who has phone in Verizon or Sprint network install free PackSMS Trial (QR code attached) from Android Market and test if it works?

Note: both sender and receiver have to install the app so that the other could receive compressed message (however you could just send a message to yourself).

I would also appreciate if anyone verified that longer messages are received correctly (say, 300 characters).

Thanks in advance for your help!

[General Questions and Answers] RoundSparrow:
I really want to try your program. However, on my Droid X on Verizon, the Android Marketplace says that my device is not compatible. I tried the latest version 1.1, sending a direct link to marketplace.

So i can not even install it on my device!

Can we get around this?

P.S. I would even accept an "offline mode" that forced me to copy/paste encoded SMS messages into the applications. The carrier savings for my international SMS would make this labor worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] choking:
Curious if anyone found an app that hides apps from the drawer. I don't want a themer like LauncherPro or ADW. I'm not looking for Titanium Backup to Freeze them, or Hide It Pro, to hide them and not make them available.

The idea is to hide a few things that run as background items...like AVG, Lookout, etc.

Please let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
You mean hide them from the notifications area?

Sent from my awesome SGS4G
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] choking:
No. Not the notifications area. I would like to hide them from the apps page, where all of the applications are. I may have used the incorrect term.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wrecless:
what launcher are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I think any custom launcher can help you with that. There's a hide apps option in Launcher Pro, I'm sure others have that too, but not TW (the one that comes on samsung phones)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] choking:
No. I am not running a custom launcher. I am not looking for a custom launcher. I do not want a custom launcher. In my original post, I explained that I don't want a custom launcher.

SGS4G stock runs fine, I've deleted the bloatware. I just want an app similar to Hide It Pro, where it will hide certain apps. The difference is, I want to still have these things running, and have access to them.

Here are a few things that I anticipate people to ask, along with answers.

Why don't you want to run another custom launcher? They are convenient, however their convenience decreases the overall speed and function of the phone and its apps. I would rather the phone ran fast.

Why don't you overclock the processor? Good idea. Bad results. I had the Galaxy Vibrant 3g. The battery life on that thing is ****. It doesn't last through the day doing nominal tasks. The difference between the Vibrant 3g, and the sgs4g for the battery is 150mAh. 3G=1500mAh, 4G=1650mAh. Overclock the processor, you kill your battery faster.

Why not run Juice defender to make the battery last longer? Running another app that will increase the battery life of another app that is decreasing it while running something that slows down the phone is ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
So if u hide them how will u access them?? Unhide them?? Then rehide??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
The search function will show hidden apps.

As far as another launcher slowing your phone down, that's the funniest thing I've read in awhile. Most launchers are quicker and lighter than stock and add more functionality.

1. Open such big spreetsheet

2. Set there filter, enough is "automatic filter" like exist in PC Excel.

3. It must be able use function "summation" (not sure if this english word it correct) simple count all values in selecte area of columns

4. it must be able use function summation applied on filter (subtotal)

5. I must be able sort items as minimum for 1 column, better will be for 3 (like in excel at first sort by colum C, than after B and last after E for example

It can be pait application, no problem, but at first I need know that it can do what I need.

[Verizon Droid Charge] bigsapz:
Hey guys,

Currently have the incredible and love it but I need a bigger screen. Im due for an upgrade and like the charge. Would Anyone who upgraded to it from an incredible be down to post their experiences?

Thanks,

Sent from my 2.3.5 Incredible Obsession
[Verizon Droid Charge] Joe T:
It depends on you want. There is not nearly the amount of roms to choose from as there is for the DInc, but the ones we do have are great. If I had an upgrade, and was in your situation, I'd wait for the SGS2 or HTC Vigor. The Charge is a great phone but I wouldn't use an upgrade on it considering what is coming in the near future. Just my opinion though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MillionManMosh:
I did this in a roundabout way in that I used the Incredible for a year before getting my Charge, but I didn't use an upgrade (one of my kids had the Fascinate, but since he doesn't live in a 4G coverage area, I replaced his Fascinate with my Incredible and appropriated the Charge). I can say that I'm much happier with the phone having gotten it for free than I would be if I had paid for it, but overall quite pleased.

The Charge has has better:

-Battery life (by around 40%)

-Screen (I had both the SLCD and OLED DIncs- SAMOLED+ blows both away)

-Usability (screen size is much better for typing accuracy)

-Multimedia experience- SGX540 trounces the rather dated Adreno200

-Audio quality- especially with Voodoo Sound

-Bootloader design- ODIN mode is great for recovering from ****ups

Things that really don't impact my opinion

-4G is incredible in theory- in practice, Google Music and Netflix could both stream just fine over good old EV-DO RevA, and for anything else I need to download I have home wifi and 25Mbit Comcast Xfinity, so it's still sort of unnecessary. It is cool to be able to say my phone has a faster broadband connection than my home.... I'm regularly seeing 30mbit down/6 up. I'm not using it as a hotspot as I don't feel like either shelling out or risking my service, and I will say that I'm using 3-4x the data on LTE than I did over 3G, with better battery life as previously mentioned.

-Overall usability- the Hummingbird is a tad quicker than the Snapdragon, but overall I always found the DInc to be a quite responsive phone- no problems with either

-Call quality- though the Charge has a dual mic setup, they both sound the same on my end. Hard to find fault with Verizon.

Things that I still have to hand to the Incredible

-I have the Charge in an Otterbox Commuter to protect its incredibly vulnerable back shell. While this gives it a great solid feel in the hand, it also makes it a bit on the difficult side to slide in and out of pockets. The DInc was a very convenient size.

-ROM selection is way better for the DInc- though, let's be honest, I didn't care about anything else once CM7 for DInc was out. Here's hoping it hits the Charge soon.

Final thoughts- rumor has it the Bionic could be out within a week, but even if that's premature it's certainly not more than a month away. The Galaxy S2 and HTC Vigor are also both right around the corner. The Charge is about to be replaced as a flagship model. My approval of it is tempered by the fact that I got it for free. You may want to hold off a bit.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bananahands:
I came from the Droid incredible as well and echo the posts above. The charge is an upgrade but at this point just wait for gs2, vigor, or nexus.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Birthofahero:
I came from the Dinc which I treasured. The dev community was awesome for the Dinc but I love eclipse.

Not sure why you would wait for the sgs2, it may not have 4G.

And the Bionic is just a bigger droid 3 with 4G. Of course to each his own, and I personally saw the samoled+ and just had to have it. I could have waited for the bionic or sgs2 but why? Whatever phone you get, im sure you will love. Afterall, they all do just about the same thing.
[Verizon Droid Charge] zeuswsu:
I upgraded from the Dinc a couple of months ago and I'm semi happy with my upgrade. The 2 main reasons to upgrade to this phone are the screen and 4G. I guess it depends how important those two things are to you. All the phones coming out in the next couple of months will probably have those two things AND have upgraded processors, RAM, etc. So if I were in your shoes, I would wait a couple of months to see what else is coming out.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ms0chez:
I came from the Incredible and am in love with mCharge. Has the hardkey buttons and 4g. Plus the screen it was everything I wanted. Before I got the Charge I was considering waiting on the Bionic but I personally am happy with the choice I made.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tm24fan8:
I came from the Incredible as well, and I echo everything this guy said. Although I did pay for the phone instead of free (lucky guy lol) I feel like it was worth it. I still use my Incredible (deactivated, but still works on wifi) just for random games and testing out custom roms because we all know the Inc has some great developers. Charge development is looking great too though and I can't wait to see the likes of CM7, MIUI, etc on this phone. It's not perfect, but if you convert from RFS to EXT4 it's really close.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kubla1:
DINC to Charge

I echo all the "good" comments as I came from the DINC a month or so ago. The only thing I miss is the LED that the "DINC used for letting you know it's charging. The Charge experience is a little different than the HTC experience but it just lets you know what else is out there.
[Verizon Droid Charge] wenzer:
I would hold out for the Bionic. I upgraded from Dinc to Charge because Verizon was changing their unlimited tier plans and I was afraid of missing the boat so I used my upgrade to lock myself in. The Charge was the best at the time but if you can wait until the Bionic comes out 9/8-ish I would. Dual core, 4G, 4.3 inch screen plus the ability to use the Motorola dock/laptop thingy (if you're interested) is a def plus. I can't remember RAM and storage specs but I think they beat the Charge as well.

One thing I did notice coming from Dinc to Charge was the snappiness of the ROMs. Once lagfix was enabled though it was pretty hard to distinguish the difference.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Lodingi:
You do realize if you were already on an unlimited data plan, you were locked in?

Anyway to the OP. I came from the Fascinate to the Charge. I got in on the free exchange. The Charge is a great phone. I would say it's a Fascinate 2. I don't think I would have used (wasted) an upgrade on this phone. I think it's best to see what the Bionic, Vigor, SGS2 & iPhone 5 bring to the table. This is especially true when you consider Verizon did away with 1 year contracts.

On a side note, my daughter has a Dinc. She absolutely refuses to upgrade her phone. She says it's simply "Incredible". Lol.
[Android Apps and Games] richardop:
Major rewrite - no longer uses the earpiece speaker

With the new app, you get 100 different volume levels from silent to full volume.

Works on Media/Alarm/Ringer & Notification/System (in-call excluded)

Still has the automatic overlay that appears when changing volume (ROM dependent) but also has a regular volume control app

More customisation

For those people using ROMs that don't support the automatic popup, there is a secondary launcher icon that shows the media volume dial for a few seconds.

48 Hour Trial: https://market.android.com/details?id=opotech.finevolumev2

Unlocker: https://market.android.com/details?id=opotech.finevolume.unlocker

Uninstall (or at least disable) the old app before using the new one

The old version of the app is now deprecated, but the unlocker will work with the old and new version. (you get both versions of the app if you buy the unlocker)

Deprecated

Fine Volume Control

I've just released a new app that enhances the standard media volume dialog by adding 2 functions:

A fancy volume dial (complete with glow) to use instead of repeatedly pressing the volume buttons

A finer volume setting that effectively lets you go below 1 bar of volume by redirecting sound to the earpiece speaker when you drop below a threshold marked on the slider.

Free version: https://market.android.com/details?id=opotech.finevolume

Full version: https://market.android.com/details?id=opotech.finevolume.unlocker includes more colours, dialog styles, adjustable dial sensitivity, size, toggle button pulse and removal of ads.

Let me know what you think. :)

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jzuijlek:
Looks nice, but force closes on MIUI, but maybe that's to be expected.
[Android Apps and Games] Reeonimus:
Great Idea. I just tried the free version and am having a couple problems. There is no visual indication when turning the "dial". Some animation with min and max gauges would be nice.

My volume bar now doesn't increase or decrease when changing volume. No matter what the volume bar is always 3/4 full. I can see the yellow indicator line but it means nothing when the bar doesn't move.
[Android Apps and Games] asp2010:
This is a great idea. I definitely like being able to control the volume without pressing the hardware buttons, because mine are a bit worn down.

Unfortunately, your app doesn't work on my HTC Desire (using Gingerbread Sense). When I press either volume button, the normal Volume pop-up appears. When you update the app, I will try it again :)

Good luck and keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] richardop:
What version of android is MIUI? I've had a report of FC on a 3.2 device and it needs fixing for that. Unless MIUI has a different volume dialog layout, it should work. Can you post here or submit a stacktrace? Thanks!

There's a brushed texture to the dial that turns with it, maybe it's too faint. min/max could be added, good suggestion. What device/rom/version of android do you have?

Are you sure it's in media volume context? Currently it only applies to media. Also, is that 2.2?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Reeonimus:
Hmm yeah it doesn't appear to move to me. I'm using an HTC Evo 3D 2.3.4 stock ROM rooted.

Again though, great idea for more fine control, I can't believe android doesn't have such a feature. Work the few kinks out and you have my support friend!

Acer A500, Android 3.1, FC. Report sent.
[Android Apps and Games] richardop:
Does the volume level change and then redirect to the earpiece at all, so it's just that the UI is stuck?

I've coded a fix for that crash, thanks! The dialog won't match the honeycomb theme (for now at least).

Another thing, the finer volume function won't work on a device if it's lacking an earpiece speaker. You'll still be able to use the dial to control media volume, though.

I'll release an update soon.

Don't see much of a difference in sensitivity (free version) when it comes to the fine tuning. However, threshold idea is great! Should unlock some more stuff for the free version. Seems almost all the useful stuff is locked! This app needs some work, but ultimately, pretty smart idea.
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
LOL

I've a better idea. Why doesn't the Dev unlock everything in the free version and then make a 'donate' version available on the Market? The difference being that the Dev donates to the person downloading... :rolleyes:

The idea is for people to buy this. You know, a bit of 'pay back' for all of the hours I am sure he put into it. If too much is unlocked then why would anyone bother?
