Has anyone used this app for something like pocket legends or pocket empires and actually gotten the values to stick? I know you can use it for drag racing and gun bros but the ability to use it on a server game would be awesome. Any help?

I apologize if this is well known, but I've been on HTC Sense phones since the day the Hero came out, and I just discovered this tonight. In the People, Gallery, Music, and possibly other apps, I've always known you could begin scrolling down a long list, then grab the bar on the right side of the screen to quick scroll.

What I just discovered is that you can do the same thing from anywhere on the screen by simply scrolling with two fingers. Also, if you want to scroll directly down to the bottom of the list, try starting the scroll at the bottom of the screen. It will instantly jump to wherever in the list based on where you start on the screen.

Again, everyone feel free to let this thread die if you already know this. As a veteran Android user, I thought I knew everything about my phone until just a few minutes ago.

[HTC EVO 3D] Techlyfe:
Lol, I found out yesterday that if I two finger scrolled my address book that it begins to scroll by alphas and numbers but didn't know that you didn't necessarily have to scroll through letters, just placing 2 fingers along a spot and lifting up leaves you at that location in the list. Good find Ziggy. Also even on the home screen, if u pinch the screen it reacts as if you pressed the home button and tiles out each individual rosie? page quickly.

I tested it on my wife's Evo Shift with Sense 2.0 and it works on her phone as well. I wonder how long this has been a feature? I'm tempted to RUU my old Hero back to stock to see if it was on Sense 1.0, but I kind of doubt it.

I'm looking for something fast, stable, aosp, bloat removed, and good battery life. I'm leaning towards CM7 or Faux's. Since this isn't my phone, I'll need something stable with everything working. Could someone suggest a ROM? I would usually just try them all and decide which is best, though not possible this time since it's not my phone.

Thanks.

Usually girls tend to favor Sense over AOSP. But the dude above me is correct, if you want super stable and everything working flawlessly, then AOSP is the right choice. Whether it be CM or Faux's.

I bought this evo today and its on 2.3.3. I went onto Flipz's site to check out any of his updates for Fresh Rom. Saw that he had a how to for rooting. Tried to follow it but failed. So now i've been looking for a way to root it. I saw that there is GingerBreak but i'm not exactly sure if that'd be healthy for my phone. Is there a decent root method for this version yet?

i know i should of used the search but i've been doin it since i got the phone. so if anyone could link me to the right way that'd be very appreciated

I am torn on the 3D. I still really like my Evo but I would like something newer and more capable like the 3D... if it did not have the 3D gimmick. I do not have any use for the 3D capability. I got a chance to play with the 3D at Best Buy over the weekend and it looked a little like 3D but it was not all that great... and I walked away with a headache after staring at the screen for 1 minutes.

Give me an Evo2: Same size screen (as Evo or 3D, either is fine) but lose the 3D, dual core CPU, more RAM, more flash, I would like the hw camera button if it was a bit smaller, lose the 2d/3d switch, oh, and make it LTE for when Sprint switches over since it seems that Sprint/Clear will never build out WiMax to cover my home.

[Q] G2X rooting failure: "Failed to set prot mask (Inappropriate ioctl for device)"

hey all,

I'm trying to root my new G2X running 2.3.3, and I'm up against a weird error.

I'm following the instructions here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/LG_Optimus_2X:_Full_Update_Guide

I've installed the drivers, downloaded busybox, su, etc. etc. etc.

However, when I get to the part where I'm issuing commands in adb shell, it looks like this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
$ /data/local/
/data/local/
/data/local/: permission denied
$ /data
/data
/data: permission denied
$ /data/local/psneuter
/data/local/psneuter
Failed to set prot mask (Inappropriate ioctl for device)

As you can see, the error I get is: "Failed to set prot mask (Inappropriate ioctl for device)"

This error occurs just as I attempt to change directory in adb shell, to /data/local/psneuter.

I've tried this several times with the same result.

I have also tried superoneclick, which freezes completely on step #6. my only option is to end its' task.

Does anyone have any insight that might be helpful? Please let me know if there is any additional information that you require. :o
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
Additional info.....read, search!!! Been answered many,many,many times!!

Search "nvflash cwm recovery" thats it. All you have to do is nvflash cwm recovery and you can flash any rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thisnameissoclever:
I did search, I just didn't know to search for "nvflash". I searched for the error message. I will give nvflash a try tonight.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thisnameissoclever:
I've attempted to use nvflash as well and the phone will not boot into recovery. it wouldn't do so even before attempting to flash cwm, though. it just won't boot into recovery.

-If I hold vol+ & vol- together BEFORE pressing power, it never turns on. I have to take the battery out and try again.

-If I hold vol+/vol- together immediately AFTER booting, it remains stuck on the LG boot logo and again i have to remove the battery. This is after a factory reset.

Does anyone have any advice?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Your name may be clever but your reading skills are not so much.

You are following a guide written for the Optimus 2x, or p990. Your phone is the G2X, or p999. If you're lucky then you haven't totally screwed your phone up yet.

Don't follow guides written for other phones. Make sure you are following the correct instructions.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thisnameissoclever:
listen, I understand that you think that I was wrong about something on the internet, but there is no need for you to be rude.

I am using the guide which is recommended to be used on cyanogenmod.com's wiki. Since you would prefer to be mean rather than attempt to help, I have created an animated gif to fully illustrate the process which I followed to get to the guide indicated.

Several other guides specifically for the "g2x" have exactly the same steps, as you would have known if you had checked your facts along with your attitude. In other words, it should have worked. I've also tried several other methods including superoneclick. I'm not an idiot. I'm just asking for a little ****ing help. Can I not just have someone who doesn't have their head up their ass tell me if I'm doing something wrong, how I can fix it, work with me, troubleshoot a little, and perhaps even communicate with me in a polite and friendly manner?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
First. I understand your frustration, but phburks is a helpful member of the G2X forum, so show some respect. You have to know that if you are posting that you used directions for a completely different

phone, someone is going to point it out.

So, you are not rooted right? I don't believe NVFlash will help until you are rooted. SuperOneClick still getting stuck at step six?

UPDATE: sounds like that SuperOC isn't working on stock 2.3.3. You are not the only person who is getting failure at step 6... And they are working on it.

http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/03/how-to-root-the-t-mobile-g2x/ check the comments.

If the link doesn't work just google "g2x superoneclick failure step 6" and it's the first thing...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thisnameissoclever:
I thank you for you response, but to be very frank, I don't care if he's been around here a while, I deserve the same respect he does. I won't be talked down to like that, and I don't think that's unreasonable. I'm sure you understand, and expect that probably most would respond in the same way.

In response to your question: Yessir, I am stock, un-rooted, can't get to boot loader (which may be CWM for all I know, the nvflash seemed to work, I just can't boot to the loader). Just tried S.O.C. again, and yes, it stops at step 6. :-(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
check my updated post. Stock gingerbread seems to have a root issue.

I have heard some nasty things said in the forums, sometimes at me, and I don't think phburks was trying to be malicious.

Does clockwork recovery work for you? Power+volume up. If you can, flash one of the rooted ROMs and you should be good to go.

Good luck.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Lol wow you read into my reply way more than you needed to. Humor/sarcasm doesn't always communicate well online so my bad with the "snide remark" as you put it. Wasn't intended that way. For what its worth your reply was over the top rude. If you're looking for an argument or pissing match then sorry to let you down.

Anyway, the fact is that the O2X and the G2X are 2 different phones with different hardware and several people have f'd up their phones by following instructions for the O2X (p990) when they actually have a G2X (p999). In general instructions for the 2 phones should not be used interchangeably.

As for your issue of not being able to root your 2.3.3 G2X, superoneclick and other methods won't work right now if you have the 2.3.3 update. Go to the G2X development section here and follow the instructions in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060715

No need to retype the whole guide here. In a nutshell, you have to use nvflash to install a custom recovery to the phone and then flash a rooted rom. There is a completely stock rooted 2.3.3 flashable zip in the development section.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
And if you read the cyanogen wiki page closely then you'll notice that there is actually a separate guide for the G2X. Its actually linked to from the O2X page. Maybe you noticed that already, or maybe you're just lucky they're the same instructions. Either way, they won't work for 2.3.3. Nvflash is your friend.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thisnameissoclever:
Thanks for all the great advice guys, but the solutions provided here still depend on getting to recovery. I've tried power and vol+, power and vol-, power and vol+/vol- together, all to no avail.

Am I missing anything? Can anyone with stock 2.3.3 get to recovery?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
try this

here is a link that will get you where you want to go.

Forget everything else you have read and or downloaded

start from scratch and follow this exactly and you shouldn't have a problem, as long as your phone isnt already bricked by what you have done. it does sound like you tried to do o2x stuff on the g2x and while these phones are both lg and similar they are also hardware and partitioned much different when it comes to the low level drivers.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

good luck
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Nvflash is what you use to install a custom recovery. Once u have done so then you'll be able to boot into recovery by holding volume down + power.

Follow the directions in the OP of the thread eagle1967 linked to. The guide I linked to actually includes it in step 2 but its really the only step you need. I linked to the other guide as it provides more comprehensive instructions and guidelines on modding your phone in general, but the nvflash part is the most necessary step.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
yeah

just thought the link i posted would be easier for him to follow.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I agree. I thought about that after I posted last night so I'm glad you posted it. The reason I posted the link to the other guide was that its more all-inclusive but yea the nvflash thread is all he really needs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dr jebus:
Excellent thread guys. I am happy to find all the good stuff in one place, before I make any crucial mistakes :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Sm!th:
THE fix

I HAD the same exact problem. HAD is the keyword here. Don't follow the instructions on CyanogenMod's wiki, they will not work on a G2x with stock Android 2.3.3. After a lot of research I finally found the correct solution and successfully rooted and installed CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 on my LG G2x stock 2.3.3. It is now running Android 2.3.7 and I love what the developers for CM have done. The key to getting into that pre-boot recovery environment is the part where you take the battery out of the G2x, plug the G2x into the computer and install the APX Windows driver. I'm not saying anymore because you just need to follow the instructions on the thread below.

Just follow the instructions in the following thread and you can't go wrong:

Many had the same problem. There is a thread here at XDA about phone FC fix. You need a root explorer in order to delete the following files: DialerTabActivity and PHONE (odex or deodex) depending of your firmware, if u are on stock it is odex. After that just dolwnoad the file from the thread and flash it via CWM. Your troubles are gone for good :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] marvinloess:
but i cannot access my sdcard too :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vcespon:
As stated above, try to flash an official complete (PDA+Phone+CSC) ROM with ODIN, with repartition enabled and perform a hard reset afterwards.

If the phone does not detect internal SD, that's a serious problem, try to re-flash, hard reset, and pray.

Most of the problems people have come from mixing ROMs, taking PDA from one and CSC from another. That leads to the phone rebooting constantly. I have not seen the phone app FC ever, in JVO, JVQ and JVR. It may happen when you use bluetooth, but not to me when using the phone normally.

I have been able to get out of semi-bricked situations by booting into download mode, flash a complete ROM (PDA+Phone+CSC coming from Samsung) and hard reset. And DO NOT restore apps and settings from one ROM to another one. It DOES NOT work. Just take the time to re-download apps from market or install them from their APK files.

Hey, guys. I know there are dozens of threads talking about that, but mine is quite specific. First, the toilet disaster highlights one-to-one:

- phone sitting by the sink, which is close to toilet

- stupid movement and there it was, Skype was on.

- took 3 seconds to ignore all the human dignity I'd had and took the SGS from the water

- removed a crappy silicone cover (this one saved me from a more serious accident) very fast and removed the battery as fast as

- towel, paper-towel, rags

- rice bowl

- youtube video showing disassembly instructions (pretty easy)

- contact cleaner

- rice bowl again

It worked perfectly 24 hours later! Screen on, sound ok... very easy device to open.

Everything was fine until I accidentally hit the voice search and the "sound level meter" didn't move.

Microphone is not working since then. Doesn't work for calls, video with sound, audio note... It works fine with the stock earphone though.

Yes, I restored to factory settings.

Yes, I reflashed and reinstalled the ROM.

When I BLOW (with my mouth) into the mic, nothing happens. But when I SUCK it, the michophone seems to "catch" all the noise. Is this a signal of hope?

I opened it again and sprayed a good contact cleaner, right into the mic. No changes.

My tocco survived after leaving it dry on the radiator for a day (on low low temperature)

My spica survived but needed a new screen. which was surprisingly cheap (not genuine part)

Just for my own amusement, Was it a number one or a number two you was doing at the time ?

Funny comments, But serious matter. Take their advice and leave it dry out a little more, You could of made it worse by powering it up. But lets not jump to conclusions just yet,

If drying it out for longer dont work. See if you can make a bit of cash by selling it for parts on ebay or similar.

Oh and is it on a contract ? if so do you have insurance ? or are you close to a renewal ?
