What do you mean? What is the point in that? Curiously. re no root.

Don't you pretty much need root to do cwm in the first place?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
For superuser 3... with a kernel with built in root, the su binary is replaced everytime you restart the phone. Which means on boot you have to upgrade it every time. And no, you can have root without cwm or you can have cwm without root thanks to odin
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
what does the beta SU have that you want to upgrade over stable?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Its actually pretty stable...and mainly eye candy and knowing you have the latest version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
The superuser 3 beta is required to work with superuser elite right meow as well, for the time being this means not that much but the proposed features of superElite seem promising. Even though we can already do most of the stuff, it would be more convenient for us... Like installing busybox, i use the busy box installer all the time because it dosent really "stick" everytime i reboot i have to re-install a different version of busybox to work with all my scripts cause the native 1.62 busybox always reverts back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] maddoggin:
is there anyway to change boot animation on this?

or can i just flash the zImage without the bmlwrite file? zImage is the kernal right? and bmlwrite is what? also does this support cwm recovery? like if i add the recovery button to my phone it takes me to stock recovery. and ppl say its because of stock kernal. so if i add it now with this kernal will it take me to cwm recovery?

edit* nevermind about the recovery issue lol just confirmed it is a kernal issue . lmao! thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Kernel. Not kernal. Yes it supports cwm, it'll go to cwm if you choose reboot to recovery (at least eg22 plus did).
[Epic 4G Android Development] maddoggin:
lol. are you talking about hitting reboot to recovery from where? cwm?

edit* im talking about going to recovery from your phone option not going to recovery from recovery! look at the attachment! anyways when your on a stock KERNAL it goes to stock recovery. but with this KERNAL it goes to cwm! thats all i wanted yo know!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
In cm7 you can reboot into recovery from holding power until the menu pops up, then hitting reboot--->recovery. Yes, I knew what you meant. This KERNEL, as well as eg22plus, has cwm 3.1.0.1 built in.

btw:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KERNAL
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
supports cwm and bootanimations.. bootanimations must be named sanim.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] latinmaxima:
Any chance you will release EH17 plus?

[Epic 4G Android Development] duce102:
Im confirming that this kernel works on EH17 as far as I could tell.... Make sure to make a nand backup before trying it though as all our epics have a mind of their own......
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Boot animations go in the same folder, /system/media/ but named sanim.zip

rom devs could put a symlink in that folder from sanim.zip to bootanimation.zip and people wont have to change anything.. for eh17 ill probably do that myself in the kernel...
[Epic 4G Android Development] bryanfritz1:
Should the .qmg files only be inside the bootanimation.zip (sanim.zip) or will they be outside the .zip too?

Edit: since that was kinda unclear here is a ss of that folder. Does that look right?

sent from "The Other Woman"
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Since I'm still using this and the EH17 version is essentially the same, can I get some more "in depth" info as far what memory and vm tweaks have been made? Also, having root, busybox, cwm built in should I remove anything from my system?

In other words my base is the EH06 deodexed with cwm root and busybox, doesn't seem to be an issue but would any of that cause confliction with each other? Like for one I've noticed if I boot to cwm from the cwm app and flash something it does not take, I have to manually boot to cwm to flash.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codo27:
Used Odin to update to gingerbread from froyo on my i9000m the other day. Theres no service here at home unless I put the phone on the bathroom windowsill, so I didn't notice until today when I went to work that I wasn't getting any data network connection. Could make and receive calls fine, wifi works, but no data, so no browsing or facebook or any apps that require it. I called bell and they came to the conclusion that I have to send the phone in for repairs. Thats a absolute last resort, so I tried another factory reset, this time from the recovery menu. The first time, during set up I enabled wifi, this time on a hunch I did not, and it worked. Also note that the first time, the network connected for a split second before disconnecting again. Anyways, I was getting 3g fine, then I tried wifi, and it disconnected again. Turn off wifi, data comes back. Whats up with this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Getinaf:
Did you set your APN? Go

Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Network > APN Names

Then hit menu and add a new APN if none are there. If one is there, it's named something like 'browser' (at least that's what mine is called on my Bell i9000m) and I'm wrong. But I had this problem, and this is how I solved it. You can find the APN settings for your network by google-ing "[Provider] APN Settings]", and if you're on bell you can find them here:

http://support.bell.ca/en-on/Mobili..._Nexus_One_for_the_Bell_Mobility_HSPA_network

It says Nexus One but it works for all phones on bell.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codo27:
settings are exactly as depicted on the bell site, except the apn was called browser instead of bell. changed that, same thing. other suggestions?

Can you tell me the version of gingerbread you're on, where you got the files, any mods to the firmware like pre rooting?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codo27:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Getinaf:
Alright, so totally stock. What's the version code? It should be UGKG3. Have you tried forcing a kies update with a registry hack? Was it one PDA when you flashed it or 3 files?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codo27:
Yes, its UGKG3. I flashed with the PDA, PHONE and CSC files. I dont really know what you are talking about with regards to forcing a kies update, if you could explain I'd try it out
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterslacker:
This has always happened to me, on Eclair, on Froyo, and now on Gingerbread. Whenever my Wifi is active *and* connected to a network, the Data through HSPA is automatically disconnected.

I always thought it was a battery saving feature - if you have Wifi access, and presumably internet access, then you don't need internet through the cell network, right?

So if you're not getting internet access when your wifi is active and connected, then perhaps it's a problem with your wifi router not passing external internet to your phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codo27:
The thing is nothing changed besides the firmware. wifi worked fine here in the house before and no problems connecting to the data network on the go with wifi enabled. I'm really running out of ideas here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterslacker:
I guess I misunderstood you before. Are you saying you have no data access at all when wifi is enabled, whether or not you are connected to a wifi network? If that is true, something is definitely wrong. That doesn't happen to me with KG3 - just checked.

Have you tried reflashing the modem file? Maybe it got messed up in your flash before?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codo27:
yes, no data regardless of wifi connected or not, as long as its enabled.

which is the modem file?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codo27:
just an update, this seems to have mysteriously fixed itself.
[HTC EVO 3D] texasez:
Is there a program that is causing the pop up ads on the 3D and if so how do I get rid of it?

Not root yet (waiting on Myn) so I cannot use ad blocker.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mnemoch:
Uninstall it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Skyphos:
You can use CPU spy (i think thats the name...never had to use it myself but i hear its good for runaway apps) or maybe even the battery info tool built in to see what, if anything, is running after a fresh boot besides stock apps. Once you isolate the item you can remove the faulting APK and hopefully be in the clear. If its an APK you just got to have i'd root and install AdFree by Big Tin Can to install and maintain an actively updated hosts file that routes all typicall ad call's back to the local machine (set address 127.0.0.1).

Hope this helps some man!
[HTC EVO 3D] DoctorComrade:
Pop ups....? Seems like some sort of malware app.

[HTC EVO 3D] iwillkillyou:
It's some apps that are giving you the ads. Unistall the last app you installed.
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
Some developers are doing this type of advertising now. Check comments for the complaints. I know there are apps to detect some of these advertising methods but I can't remember them. I've had it happen with some live wallpapers and games. If I'm not mistaken, I've had it happen with at least 1 app from the GO Dev team (maybe a wallpaper they did? Can't remember).
[HTC EVO 3D] texasez:
Thanks for the responses but if I knew which app was doing the ads I would delete it.

How do I find out which app is causing the ads which are on the notification bar?
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
Ads in the notification bar are called AirPush ads (new company introduced them). There's an app called AirPush-Detector that will tell you what apps are using it. See if that helps.

So I know that I am probably going to get ridiculed for this, but I figured I would give it a try.

So I am running virtuous ROM 1.31.3 on my Incredible 2 and a couple of hours ago I installed Juice Defender. Now I have notice that the status bar appears on the lock screen.

Now as I typed in the topic, it should other topics of people asking how to get it off, as if it has always been there. Now here is where I feel I am having a blonde moment. With the virtuous ROM, is the status bar always on the lock screen? If not, then how can I get it off without installing another program to do what it was doing originally?

Thanks in advance for the help. Feel free to mock and ridicule. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] klarson:
The status bar is and has always been shown on the stock lockscreen. lol, Are you certain that the status bar was gone from the lockscreen at one point? Now...when you reboot with fast boot on or boot up the rom for the first time, the status bar sometimes will not show up on the lockscreen, but after unlocking it it'll come back.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fischwrap:
Anyone else out there try to use their Atrix to record audio, specifically loud-ish audio?

I am in a band, and as we work on new songs, we like to record what we've worked on to listen to outside of our jamspace to remember and to think about parts... our guitarist has an iPhone 4 and we have always used his phone to record. it does a pretty good job, and i think it has an on-board limiter to prevent clipping on playback. i got my Atrix a few months ago, and of course wanted to 1-up my iPhone4-using buddy, but when i record just about anything with my phone i get massive clipping and the resulting files are useless.

Has anyone found an app with a useful recording interface (preferably with a limiter). Ive tried Tape-a-talk, Hi-Fi Recorder, and Tape Machine Lite, and none have provided a helpful alternative to the iphone :-(

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtwhtever:
Hi,

I bought a MT4G with Virtuous Unity ROM preinstalled. I will be using this phone on an European network but it turned out it was network locked. I called T-mobile and they sent me the unlock key but it does not work. I called again and they are going to recheck and resend but I am wondering is it possible that the custom ROM somehow prevents the unlocking? Also is there and easy alternative way of network unlocking? Thanks for any help.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtwhtever:
Well, this turned embarrassing – I received the second response from T-mobile but it was not what I expected. They refused to give me the unlock code because I’ve already requested one in the last 90 days. I did request and they did send me a correct code couple of months back for another MT4G, but I gave that phone to my son. I could call and try to explain but there’s no time now – I’m flying to Europe on Sunday. I’m wondering whether they gave me the wrong code on purpose the first time…I’m freaked out now to try any mode codes even if I buy one online – I already tried the wrong one they gave me twice and I don’t want to lock it permanently to T-mo by too many failed attempts (BTW I asked them how many failed attempts would lock the phone and they said they did not know).

I’ve zero rooting experience but from what I read, it seems that the custom ROM (Virtuous Unity 1.31) should not affect the SIM locking/unlocking, correct? Reading and searching around here it seems to me that I might be able to unlock the phone using “gfree –sim_onlock”. I would greatly appreciate if you guys could give me any advice on how to do that. From what I read, it seems to me that I need to install adb on my computer (will it work on Win7?), then get an appropriate version of gfree, push it to the phone and use it in terminal emulator (I already installed that) to unlock the SIM. Can someone please tell me whether this is correct, what versions of adb and gfree should work, and where can I get them. Also, any additional advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mathato:
There's a sticky In the development section with a gfree guide..

You can also do it all from your phone..

All of the info you need is in that thread.

Sorry I can't link because i'm on my phone.. but doing the gfree sim unlock would ultimately give you what you are looking for.

Edit: The sticky is labeled True root or something of that nature
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtwhtever:
Thanks a lot for the response, I read that thread the other day but was afraid to try it. Now I accumulated enough courage to do it, but it didn't work, :(. What did I do wrong?

I downloaded the gfree.zip using the link in the first post to /sdcard/download/ . I extracted gfree using ES File Explorer which I have on the phone. Then I started terminal emulator and did this:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You can't execute Gfree on Gingerbread ROM.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Seems that the phone was rooted with root.sh method, which doesn't remove SIM lock.

It's not a problem at all to do the steps I've mentioned before, just read and remember to start with backup.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkenFable:
Read OP, he said he bought it rooted, not that he had someone do it.

In order to backup your ROM so you can restore it after you flash a Froyo ROM, boot into ClockworkMod, you can do this by either opening up ROM manager on your phone and hit Reboot into Recovery or you can restart your phone by holding the power button and pressing restart. A menu should come up with options, choose recovery and hit okay. If no menu comes up and your phone just restarts, when the screen goes dark hold Power + Vol Down and it should take you into your Bootloader which is a bright white screen, and you can boot into recovery from there.

Once you're in ClockworkMod you should see Backup and Restore. Go there, do a backup, wait for it to finish. Then click reboot.

You need a Froyo ROM, you can get the stock rom thats been debloated with su permissions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1042586, and of the three links should work.

Once you download it put it on /sdcard/ and then reboot into recovery again. Once you're in ClockworkMod click Wipe data/factory reset, let it run through, and then run it once more. Click Advanced, Wipe Dalvik Cache. You don't need to format /cache or /system because Wipe data/factory reset does it for you.

Click Install Zip From SDCard, Select Zip, and navigate to where you put the rom on the root of the Sdcard. Click Yes when Prompted and it will install the ROM. Reboot when it's finished and it should boot into a new OS.

Run gfree and the SIM Unlock again and it should actually work this time.

Then reboot into ClockworkMod, go to Backup and Restore, Click Restore and restore the latest backup. Phone should now be SIM Unlocked and back the way it was before you started.

Tried removing the battery, holding the Vol Down & power, nothing seems to work. Starting to freak out :) Any ideas...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkenFable:
Vol+down won't even take you to the boot loader? Super white screen? You need to hold them both when you're turning the phone on and hold them for about 10 seconds then release. Boot into recovery from there and then restore your backup.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtwhtever:
Yeah, I just discovered that myself, too. You are trying to make a blind man walk here :p. I recovered twice into the original ROM (well original I bought it with) and I am much calmer now knowing that nothing will explode :p. I will try one of the other two ROMs. Boy, this is so exiting, I just wanted to get my SIM unlocked and I got myself into ROM flashing...This is contagious!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkenFable:
Lol I know the feeling. Once you learn the basic steps it's really easy. If none of those roms work look in the development sub forum and look for any rom that has 2.2.1. That's Froyo. Find one that works and try the sim unlock. Let me know how it goes!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtwhtever:
Yay, I, (ooops, we) did it! I have the original VU ROM and the SIM is unlocked! This time, when I got Froyo to correctly install I did two things different: Formatted system (under Mounts and Storage) and sat patiently for 5 minutes as the Froyo instructions state; before I might have been too impatient.

Now, I cannot tell you, guys, how I feel, I assume I don't need to since you've all been through this, LOL. DarkenFable, Jack_R1, Mathato, thank you, thank you, thank you, without your help I would never have ventured into this!
