[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbates58:
hi all.

well, after a long time debating with vodafail (my phone company) in reguards to reception issues that i am having, they have decided to give, yes give me another phone.

basically, the story is this.

i started on three, with a N97 (worst mistake i ever made) then, switched to voda under the belief that all me reception dramas would be gone, and that my n97 supports all the network bands voda uses, and i will for a long time. fast forward a few months with constant reception problems and, then voda told me that the n97 doesn't support their networks etc... so they gave me a HTC Desire HD (how very nice). and told me that it supported all their networks, and the new ones they were rolling out.... well, that was a lie. and im still having problems, even after i have rooted it, and upgraded the radios, i call htc to ask if the aus version of the dhd made for vodafone, supports the 8503g network (their current rollout) and they said no. so i rang voda up again, and after much debate, this is where i am...

at another free phone.

so, i need some help with the selection of it. below is a list of manufactures that vodafone stock and sell, and basically i want to know either the best sideways or upgrade move there is from the dhd, out of the list of supported manufactures.

the list is thus:

HTC

Apple (not keen on an iphone at all)

Nokia (not keen on Nokia after that N97 P.O.S)

Samsung

Sony Ericson

BlackBerry (dont realy like the look, but am open to looking)

Alcatel (never heard of them)

i would ike a galaxy s2 but apparently there is some issues with the screen or something (unless thats been rectified)

and the only pre-requisit over the dhd i would like, is a better day-time viewing screen. the dhd is a pain to read outside. but thats not a necessity.

so, there it is. any phone is available to me for free, so whats the best.

Cheers

hey guys i have a problem with my wifi after flashing to ARHD 5.2.6...

sometimes i'm able to use the wifi for awhile before stuffs stop moving/loading so i'm unable to use the internet even though it shows that i'm connected... the market keeps loading and downloads doesn't move... my laptop has no problem with the wifi at home...

during some other times it seems to be problem-free... i do not think it's the wifi in my home that has problems because i was able to use the wifi at home w/o problem before flashing to ARHD...

this problem happened to me too when i used the wifi in my school... however, when i moved to another area in school, i was able to use the wifi there... the signal in both areas were great, laptops were able to use wifi in both areas without any hiccups...

please note that i had no problems with any wifi i was connected to before i flashed to ARHD...

is there a ROM based on htc Salsa???

if no... it would be awesome if someone makes a ROM based on htc Salsa... since it has the sense 3.0 and also it has all the facebook features built in....!!

i know you can get the .apk's but when you install htc fb chat.. you lose your facebook for htc sense and cannot sync your contacts anymore :/

[Samsung Infuse 4G] teiglin:
So this may seem like kind of an oddball question, as every search I did turned up nothing but requests FOR this button (though it apparently replaced an old smiley button, which seems even more useless), but I was wondering if any modders out there had made a version of swype that had no voice input button. Ideally the real estate would be reclaimed for the space bar and/or enter keys, both of which are positively tiny in portrait mode. As a secondary consideration, it'd be nice to remove the Swype help/options button on the bottom-left, too, and an option for arrow keys (sometimes I like having them and sometimes I don't, but the option would be nice).

Just curious if anyone else cares/has worked on something like this. Thanks in advance!

I love my aosp rom, and I still want to use it as a daily driver. That said I still need a rom that nfl mobile works on. I need to be able to watch my home team while out of town. Can anyone point me to a rom that nfl mobile will work on?? That way I can install it and create a backup so whenever I NEED to watch nfl on my phone, I can restore back to it easy. Also, if it worked with mr2 + radio would be most desired.

Edit: ok, I'm stupid didn't realize I needed my Verizon..... But it still doesn't work in AO5PTH3ORY. So I'm going to do some testing and post results here.

2. Remove the alarm icon

This guide is a reference for the smali code changes that must be made inside of SystemUI.apk to properly hide the alarm icon.

You need to edit \com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy\StatusBarPo licy.smali

Search for:

Code:

const-string v1, "alarmSet"

const/4 v2, 0x0

invoke-virtual {p1, v1, v2}, Landroid/content/Intent;->getBooleanExtra(Ljava/lang/String;Z)Z

move-result v0

Replace it with:

Code:

const/4 v0, 0x0

const-string v1, "alarmSet"

const/4 v2, 0x0

__________________

apktool d SystemUI.apk

edited the file as stated

apktool b SystemUI.apk

I copied the apk to sdcard and then using phone with root explorer overwrote the original SystemUI.apk. rebooted and alarm icon still there. can it be done that way? after recompiling SystemUI.apk not sure of the correct way to replace old one.
[HTC EVO 3D] j4n87:
Don't think, that it's not so easy...

..to remove it the exact and clean way would be:

(my opinion)

- remove the ressource id in the ressource file (res/value:public xml)

- search in the decompiled SystemUI folder for all references

(ctrl+shift+f in notepad++)

- remove the lines/functions.

I've got a lot of problems with the compiling in apktool, so I've done it that way:

apktool d SystemUI.apk

apktool b SystemUI SystemUI_NEW.apk

Then opened both apks with 7zip and drag/drop the classes.dex from the System_New to the orig. SystemUI window.

Just have a look at the the last steps of one of my guides..

Also ensure, before moving the edited SystemUI apk back with root explorer, that it has got the right permission as before. (all in system app got the same 644 rights)

...Son't know if it's enough to edit only these lines..try it.

If your phone doesn't boot, just have a look at the logcat (android sdk needed and eclipse to voew logcat)..and find/solve the issue
[HTC EVO 3D] OMJ:
open up your compiled apk, chances are it's missing the META-INF folder:

original apk

new apk:

u can either copy the META-INF folder from the original apk to new or as j4n87 said, copy the classes.dex from the new apk to the original, then use the original.

I prefer copying the classes.dex myself.

I know that guide came from SteelH, so I'm sure it will work fine

I would suggest you try to boot into fastboot and flash stock recovery and then flash stock 351 ROM.... AFTER it boots up then go back to fastboot and flash streakmod recovery and immediately boot into streakmod recovery.... instead of using StreakDroid 2 I would suggest you run 1.9.1 for better stability... once you flash it boot into recovery and do a FACTORY reset... not the one in Streakmod and then let it boot

[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
I am a newbie to this phone and have some questions. I have had quote a few Android phones but there are done things about this one i'm not sure on.

If we use a kernel with voodoo support are there any apps that need to be used to take advantage of it? I seem to remember with my galaxy s that I had to use some type of voodoo apps. Does it convert all the partitions like it did on galaxy s? Have to be disabled when moving to a non voodoo ROM/kernel?

On cm7 if I flash an oc kernel, can I use the built in overclock manager, our do I need setcpu/homycpu?

What is all this stuff about the ds battery driver and our battery stats being all jacked up? I have already experienced the crazy battery stats on cm7. Is ds or cm driver better? (speaking of faux kernel mostly) I know this is a personal opinion but that is what I an asking for...your personal opinion!

I have already nv flashed with EXTERNAL because the op states that if you plan on using cm based roms it is best. Is the difference between external and internal just what it mounts in recovery?

To those who have been using cm on this phone for awhile, in your opinion, is the stock kernel good enough? Or does an oc kernel really makes that big a difference. I do not play 3d intensive games our anything. I can't decide if I would gain anything from supplementing it!

Thanks for letting me feel comfortable enough to ask this stuff. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
The early builds of CM7 had problems with the battery meter giving inaccurate readings. This problem has been fixed. Custom kernels can produce similar results, but if you wipe properly it should not be a problem.

Yes. CM makes the external the default and puts the internal in an out-of-the-way place that isn't recognized as an SD card, just generic storage, so you'll tend to use the external most of the time. Recovery isn't affected by this, its just that you'll be using the external most of the time anyway so it's more convenient. [/QUOTE]
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
[/QUOTE]

Thanks alot. So would it be wiser to use the ds or cm version of one of fauxs kernel? Does ds still mess what the battery reports?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richua:
Voodoo: it's built-in and should be ready to go as is, I've never used it though so I'm not 100% sure.

OC: I think you can use the built-in one but I've always used SetCPU.

Battery drivers: depends on what you mean by "better." They both work well. DS will give you weird readings, CM won't. When I used DS, I just charged it whenever I could and didn't pay much attention to the battery level. Use CM if you absolutely need accurate battery readings. DS is a little more efficient if you don't mind the funny readings.

Ext/Int: yes, where it mounts.

Kernel: stock is fine. I've used Morfic's and both of Faux's. If you don't need OC/UV or care about high benchmark scores, you'll be OK with stock.

I have since found out that voodoo for our phones is just voodoo sound :)

Yup I like this app too, Federico (developer) should put more options tho he has done great job with launcher pro and I been using it for over a year too
[Motorola Droid 3] Dmw017:
Hi so I just heard that the D3 was rooted two days ago (been keeping up until a week ago). I'm not exactly a pro in this area or have ever rooted a device before but I have spent quite a few hours today reading up on the process and any info I could find.

Basically I just want to know if I should root my D3 or wait out another week or so? I heard that a SBF (?) hasn't been found yet so the stock rom can't be recovered and there is really no recovery net yet so should anything go wrong, there aren't a lot of options.

There is a one-click method to root but I'm going to try the original method using the adb shell (lol still researching what on earth to do with that still, just installed the android sdk :x). I'm not concerned about the process of rooting my droid, it's what comes after that makes me hesitant in doing so.

I read that there is a (seemingly simple) method to unroot the D3 by deleting the su file in some directory and rebooting (can't remember, it seemed legit however). Would "unrooting" have any consequences or would your device be back to the exact same state it was in right before you rooted? I'm not planning to drastically mess around with my D3 should I root it. Just want to take a few screenshots in an app to help out a dev, freeze any bloatware that won't cause problems, do a complete nand backup, and... thats about all that comes to mind right now.

I guess what I'm trying to ask is if rooting my D3 tonight would have any irreversible consequences and if there is any benefit in holding off the root?

Oh! Btw the OTA, I know that rooting won't affect ones ability to receive the update but that it will unroot your device and keep it that way. Would the rooting-discovery process have to start anew for people who update using the OTA (Thinking Verizon might patch the root-exploit) ? I know that updating via OTA isn't too bright anyway because devs just take the update and build on it before releasing it on their own custom ROMs and whatnot, but I feel official updates are somehow more stable (most likely flawed thinking, feel free to correct me on that lol).
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
Yes - SBF is an important component which would guarantee 100% pre-root configuration.

Removing the su binary and the superuser app would however put the phone back in factory state for this exploit. But anything you do while rooted inside /system is your responsibility to correct. Motorola patches usually verify only file existence/checksums and not creation/modification dates, so you should be fine with simple push of the removed (or renamed) stuff back. I remember I was able to update my D2G without unrooting in the past, but that's not necessarily granted for any other updates of that or any other Motorola phone. Ideally, you want phone in factory state to guarantee update will pass.

Another issue is nand backup you mentioned. Custom recovery isn't yet available for this phone. You can't do nand backups. So even this "safety net" isn't here. Installing custom recovery is a "100% secure way" to have OTA updates fail to apply since it messes up with phone's /system files. Un-doing CWM is a bit more complex than unrooting only and if not done carefully - a sure way for a soft brick. SBF is what we all want before start messing with anything, IMO.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dmw017:
So if an OTA updates fails for whatever reason, your phone will get soft bricked or?

I don't think ill be updating anway, but its good info to know for the future.
[Motorola Droid 3] limaxray:
I would say root the device and don't worry about unrooting. If you have to return it to the store or something, unfreeze the apps and delete su. Once you mess with it though, it will be very difficult (impossible?) to ever make /system binary identical to the factory image without an sbf. That said, I doubt VZW takes the time to investigate this very closely.

But I don't see any other reason to ever unroot. When the OTA update comes down, just don't install it. In a few days after its first released, the community developers will tell you how to install it with root and not botch anything up.
