Thanks for suggesting faux123's rom and thanks for the welcome. It looks to be a good one. Looking forward to making a rom for this phone and also some themes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] snake212:
Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

just wanted to say that last night when i got home i rooted it and installed CM7 1.16 nightly build real quick to test it out. and :eek: wow i cant believe what i was missing man. where can i start battery life is at half after work while texting, surfing the web, and gps wifi all on even bluetooth. the lcd bleed is such a controversy seriously. while typing on the phone it just feels right. the hardware buttons feel tough not like they are gonna cave in. even though the back cover is plastic they did a good job making it feel right. now to experiment with some roms ;)

Ugh, just left AT&T. I actually paid my etf to leave. Either call T-Mobile for the unlock or check e-bay
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jfuq20:
Thanks I'm thinking about leaving as well where did you go
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
You buy an unlock code off eBay for $3.00. Then insert an AT&T sim in it and turn it on. If the sim unlock entry screen shows you are good to go. You just enter the unlock code you bought off eBay and unlock the phone. If the screen doesn't come up then you need to flash the phone back to stock, unlock it and then flash another rom of your choice. Some custom roms don't have the code to bring up the unlock screen when needed. I unlocked mine on stock rom. Was fast and easy. Code was $2.99 from eBay.

BTW, on AT&T you will only get Edge speeds, no 3G. :-(

no SOD/random shut offs? i might just try faux kernal again since the stock one with cm7 seems to be giving those 2 issues since about build 110.

also did you update the baseband?
[HD2 General] Ali Alasadi:
My HD2 recently froze, so i decided to pull out the battery, and now it wont turn back on :(

This is after i upgraded to Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread

How can i fix this? :(
[HD2 General] htccraze:
More info would be really helpful. when did it freeze, during boot, after boot..did it ever boot up correctly and get pass the setup? are you using clk or magldr? can you link to which gingerbread ROM you used? sorry for all the questions but without some more accurate info we would only be taking an educated guess.

So my guess would be that it might just be coininsidense it froze and really the battery is just dead. Magldr does not charge when the phone is turned off so try and get a spare battery if you can to test it out. You might have some luck going into T-mobile and asking them about it only because they might be able to grab a battery out the back to test it for you. If your not using magldr other issues could be a bad download or you flashed the wrong ROM.

I use magldr and i had this problem once, infact it took me several days to get it up and running again. If you do find out its this which hopefully its all it is you can get a spare off ebay rather cheap. I bought three spare batteries plus a wall charger for them for around $10 or so...maybe $15.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Sounds like bent battery pins, which can happen when doing battery pulls.

Take out your battery again and look at the 3 pins that stick out and make sure none are bent and all connect to the battery.
[HD2 General] Hamburg:
Try this... Pull the battery, plug the phone into the charger, then while plugged in, insert the batter back into the phone.
[HD2 General] JosepHenry:
The same thing just happened to my HD2. It froze so I pulled the battery out and now it wont turn on. The only difference with mine is that I was running stock software. I had not done any tinkering with it at all such as flashing ROMs to it and whatnot. Is it completely dead or could it just be a battery issue?
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Did you try as I suggested in this thread?
[HD2 General] JosepHenry:
Yes. I tried everything that was suggested but with no luck. =/
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Battery might be fubar, I'd try another one.
[HD2 General] htccraze:
To me it sounds like the battery pins if it wasn't for he said it froze, there is no description of when it froze but that it happened after he flashed a new ROM. If it was working fine for several hours and he hadn't pulled the battery out in that time then I would think its something else since it was working at one point. With out a little more info though we are just taking an educated guess...one of many things that could have happened.
[HD2 General] Ali Alasadi:
It froze when i was just going through my messages, i am using Magldr,. and the rom is Cyanogen MOD 7 Gingerbread 2.3.5, (TyphooN_CM7_v3.5.8-MAGLDR)

And yes i do have a spare battery, ive tried using new battery, but same problem applies. and the pins are all aligned
[HD2 General] ceptic:
Hey thanks for this information... my pins were bent and you saved me some hair pulling!
[HD2 General] dave3002:
SOLVED!

Man, your suggest has just solved my problem! many thanks :cool::angel:

pull out the battery. press the 'on'button for several seconds. press the reset button. plug the phone into charger. insert battery.

that worked for me

that is launcherpro + sense theme.

I am also using pro+ it is damn good
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Luisit0:
Does it lag? Freeze? Or anything like that or is it smooth enough to use daily? Right now I have an Evo and will be switching to an Infuse later next week (probably) thats why Im so concerned ;) but thanx to all for ur quick replies

i came from inspire 4g with leedroid.:p

i used to think htc is fast untill i tried infuse.

there are no lags,FC with launcher pro plus.

though i am not using sense theme. i use just launcher.

it is awesome.

you can scroll taskbar also with it.

it is as fast as sense on inspire 4g

[Samsung Infuse 4G] byuboy87:
its def in the settings, jus play around with it, should take like 30 secs... as far as lag, in my experience, none watsoever. imo lp sense is smoother than sense on that evo, but those are from my experiences. probably cuz our phones are faster than the evo...

[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
hey guys.

i've always been a strong supporter of developers. I buy all the apps that I can and I think are worth it. I even have some that I've paid for that I no longer have installed. but some apps simply don't give you the option of paying for an ad-free version. so i've used adfree for over a year on my OG Evo 4G.

I have adfree now on my Evo 3D and even though it says the host files are up-to-date and the app has root access, i still have ads in almost all my apps!

is there something i'm doing wrong? or is adfree simply not working with GB? is there an alternative?

thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
I've never had luck with Adfree. It worked with admob ads but never in-game ads, even with an updated host file. I think you need to find out what host your app uses and manually add it in.
[HTC EVO 3D] FaithCry:
have you tried rebooting after installing the hosts? like a regular reboot. then check again.
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
i've never rebooted immediately after updating the hosts file...but eventually I end up rebooting and there is no difference. unless you're saying I need to reboot immediately or the file gets overwritten by android somehow.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
two ideas come to mind on ways to determine the exact server the ad program is pulling the ad data from

1) i was watching logcat the other day while using rom manager. side note: i wasn't bored i was double checking my rom was showing up there and it does! i noticed in logcat some of the ad programs, like the one used by rom manager, output a lot of detail about their actions. you might be able to see which hosts the in application ad program is using to pull down the ads by watching logcat.

2) a little more technical of a method would be to run netstat on the phone. of course, i would do a fresh reboot and wait until everything updates and turn off a lot of the syncing to eliminate noise in netstat but it should show the ip address of the ad server connection!

you probably already know this but just to state it for anybody reading this now or later, once you have the ip address (hostname) of the ad server, you can add to the /etc/hosts file and point it to 127.0.0.1.

although, after typing that up, now i'm thinking if they hard code the ip address to the ad server in the application, the /etc/hosts file might not help ... then you might have to add a route to ifconfig and point that ip at the localhost ... but i might be getting off topic as i'm speculating at this point!

hope those two suggestions help. if you have a chance to research or implement, let us know!
[HTC EVO 3D] JBO1018:
****All credit goes to user yareally. This is his host file he posted in a different section I just reposted the link.***

Here is a great host file you can place manually.

Go to this link and at the top there is a d/l button. The file will be named hosts.

https://gist.github.com/543651c8d3bb7992f2be

Then using root explorer or a similar app mount system as r/w, and move the file to /system/etc/

Set the permissions as such:

Owner: read, write

Group:read

Other:read

Or just use terminal emulator and type:

su

chmod 644 /system/etc/hosts

Now reboot and your done!

[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:

[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Maybe Adfree doesn't work on the Evo 3D?

Most ROMs on the Evo 4G had adblocking in them. I'm sure they also have that in the Evo 3D. Try flashing Synergy, I think that has ad blocking in it.
[HTC EVO 3D] FaithCry:
no... adfree is definitely working for me on Virtuous..
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
are you doing anything beyond downloading from market and updating hosts files?

im a long time user on my Evo 4G and it worked wonders. now on my Evo 3D the ads dont stop :-(
[HTC EVO 3D] JBO1018:
That is really really strange. Are you getting adds in ALL apps or is it just a couple. It's possible they are using some newer ad hosts that haven't been added to the common host files that can be found around. With that host file I linked to I never get any adds in apps and barley a one in the browser. I actually switched to it for the specific reason of adfree not working for me anymore.

Sorry I forgot to say if you have that file in the right place permissions set and you rebooted and still no luck I don't know what to tell ya sorry.

Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:

I've been getting this problem recently where the lockscreen will randomly disable itself. No, I wasn't using anything to disable the lockscreen. Anyone else getting this problem and have any idea what's causing it? I've gone through my list of running programs/services and FC's/stopped them, but there doesn't seem to be any common denominator. It's not a huge deal because I like to manually disable the lockscreen except for when it's in my pocket while I'm at work, and I'm using Widgetlocker, but I'd really prefer to keep the stock lockscreen active.
[General Questions and Answers] gautam_io:
Hi,

I tried finding a better place to post this, but there are no device forums for the bSquare MDP 8660 probably because its not that common and its a 'development phone'.

I'm using one of these devices in the lab I'm working in and I wanted to see if I could flash Google Apps on it since it comes without any of them (Market, Maps, Gmail, etc.).

Since it has an unlocked bootloader, can I just flash Google Apps (from Cyanogen's website) to it the same way you do it when installing the Cyanogen ROM? Are these files device independent? Or would this be an almost sure way of bricking the phone?

Device website: bsquare.com/snapdragon-mobile-development-platform.aspx

OS: Android 2.3.4

I would really appreciate any guidance/suggestions. Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] nibras_reeza:
Most probably yes.

Well here's my advice. Follow at your own risk. It might not probably brick it but there's always the slight risk of stuff going awry.

1) Make a Flash backup.

2) See if you have the system/app folder intact.

3) Flash the Google Market(yes, only the market.)

4) Install whatever the apps you want from the Market.

All Google apps except Market and Talk can be downloaded from the Market. You can of course flash the whole gapps update but downloading this way gives you some peace of mind and chances of avoiding any possible incompatible apps. (Like Voice Search which may not work properly on all ROMs. But, if it's AOSP, all Google apps would work and should work. )

Most of the Google apps would be device independent since most of them would use the Android API and not the native platform.
[General Questions and Answers] gautam_io:
Flashing custom recovery - didn't work

Thanks for the guidelines.

I tried flashing ClockworkMod recovery so that I could make a backup of the phone, but every time I boot into recovery it shows a blank screen now. ADB doesn't recognize the device either. I tried Amon Ra's recovery and the phone is doing the same thing.

Before flashing any of the custom recoveries, the phone would just show the triangle when booting into recovery. It did show up on ADB though.

Would you have any suggestions on how I should continue? In case its of any use, I do have a package that I downloaded from the manufacturer's website that contains the original boot, recovery, and system images (along with some other files).
[General Questions and Answers] nibras_reeza:
As I told earlier, I'm not so familiar with the device.

If ADB is not working in recovery, it could either mean that the USB drivers(the drivers in the device, not PC) are corrupted or that the recovery is incompatible.

If CWM recovery you used is 100% compatible with your device(ie other people are using it without issues), it means that you must reflash all your files to factory and then flash a fresh copy of recovery. Simply, you must start it from scratch.

If you have no idea of the compatibility of CWM with your device,

1) Check and see if ADB/fastboot is working well with your device in other modes(boot, system). You can perform a simple file transfer and check the checksum of the original copy and copy on your device to ensure integrity.

2) If ADB/fastboot works well in all other modes but fails only in recovery, flash stock recovery(only recovery) and see if adb is working well. You can do the same thing as before. If adb/fastboot works well in stock recovery but fails in CWM recovery, it probably means CWM is not fully compatible with your device.

If CWM works well, go ahead and make a backup and proceed to flashing market. But, if like I said in 2), if CWM is not fully compatible with your device, proceed with caution.

As an an alternative, if you are going through all these ONLY to get the market, you can extract the market update and push the relevant files to the correct paths in the device using ADB in recovery or bootloader mode.
[General Questions and Answers] gautam_io:
Installing only the Market app

Hi Nibras,

Sorry for not replying back to you. My college classes got started and I couldn't spend much time on this project.

I liked the idea of just extracting the Market app and installing that (since that is all I really need).

Do you think I could just use the procedure outlined below, even though I won't be doing it on Honeycomb:
[General Questions and Answers] nibras_reeza:
That should work I guess. But, flashing via recovery is just a one step process. =)

Update.zip also does just the above process, I guess. It just saves us a couple of steps. Also, if you make a recovery backup, if anything goes wrong(say boot loop or force close of system at boot), you can revert very easily since recovery is independent of all the other data on phone.

And, I guess you might have to push Talk.apk too. I'm not sure about it though. Some people complained that removing Talk.apk broke the Market authentication.

If you want to push Talk.apk, get the apk file and,

Type adb push Talk.apk system/app/Talk.apk after adb push GoogleServicesFramework.apk system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk

Also, type, chmod 6755 Talk.apk after chmod 6755 GoogleServicesFramework.apk.

Btw, you can also ignore Android Market altogether and use Amazon App Store as well as GetJar.com. They both offer install-able Market apps. Of course, they don't have a collection as large as Android Market.
[General Questions and Answers] trinaural:
@gjain89:

Did you ever try pushing the Market files to the MDP? If so, then did it work? I have one of these and I'm in a similar position.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] yelped:
I have one of these...

I used adb to push the files. However the system partition barely has any room for more apps. so apps larger than 2MB won't install, unless you obtain the APK from a secondary source.

Refer to this thread for more information: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1400737

And this one: https://developer.qualcomm.com/forum/qdevnet-forums/general-discussion/6864

Plus, many apps force close.

Enjoy!

PS: Let's try to stick together, we might be able to fix some of these problems. Maybe someone could build a custom rom.

What would be necessary in order to change the resolution. I feel smartphones don't need a bigger interface but maybe a bigger resolution.

Also anyone care to point me in the direction of flashing daemon oc on a mod.

Can't answer the first question, but second one is did you check the development section?

[HTC Inspire 4G] mrrick:
For the resolution you need an app that allows you to change the density of your screen. There are a few in the market.

Be warned though, changing your density can cause some apps to act up or not install at all even.

*insert sig here*
[HTC Inspire 4G] ranklepup:
You will need an app that can edit the build.prop files and change the density from the stock 230 I believe to something higher.

You can use something such as...

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.n00bware.propmodder&feature=search_result

or

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.canvs2321.absolute.system&feature=search_result
[HTC Inspire 4G] HiperTek:
My density is 160, and everything looks great, but I want to change the wallpaper size, as well. Everything is small, but the wallpaper is friggin' huge... like normal. I have nosense script, so I can't do live, plus live wallpapers is not used by GoLauncher. Wallpapyrus won't load and I has this other app that puts the whole wallpaper, but it does it by width, not hight. Wouldn't it be nice if a wallpaper could be set to hight and just adjust to width or drop off excess from width?

For example. Using a 1024x600 res wallpaper on a device with 480ishx800ish screen. Make the hight fill/stretch to the 800 and scroll the excess or cut it off but leave the hight at 800. Of course, you would have to maintin the aspect ratio of the image, no stretching the width to fill the screen, you know. Instead of cropping an image to...

Even of excessively large wallpapers with a hight of 1024, it takes it and supersizes it, but only allows a crop bix of 480ishx800ish. I just want to fill a high def wall paper on this screen and have it scroll left to right accordingly.

If anyone knows of an app I can get my hands on to do this, please let me know. Also, there is a line in build.prop that says ro.product.display_resolution=4.3 | 480x800 WVGA Resolution... Would it be possible to change the resolution from there?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrrick:
Golauncher can most certainly use live wallpapers.

*ins>rt sig here*
[HTC Inspire 4G] HiperTek:
So, what is the issue? Why when I load wakkpapyrus and click the "Set Live Wallpaper" button it crashes? Everything else works fine except that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrrick:
I have a feeling that the issue is your screen density. Alot of apps will not work when you change your density. I just tried wallpapyrus and it works no problem. Another app you might try is multipicturelive. Change you're density back and try again..
