First, Elelinux. Awesome ROMs. Been using them since the beginning.

I wanted to post this in the official thread in the developers section but I don't have a sufficient post count so it seems.

I want to flash back to the old market since the new one is really slow/sluggish on my Hero. (yeah I did a clean flash, wipe etc.)

I downloaded the old_market_signed.zip and flashed it but I still only had the new market. After that I tried to make a small script (delete SYSTEM:app/vending.apk) and flash the old market zip after that. Still no luck.

Any other way of getting the old market back on my phone?

Thanks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Habarug:
First flash old market then go to settings -> applications -> installed/ manage applications -> market -> uninstall updates :-)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homer Griffin:
Hi all, noob here with a question. I've searched high and low but can't find an answer.

A short bit of background....Today for the first time I decided to set up my work email on my SGS II. My phone asked me to change some of the security rules associated with the phone. I accepted and it set about encrypting phone storage and usb storage. As a result of this my phone went haywire. Constantly force closing various apps hundreds of times. I was unable to use the phone for hours but eventually got in to delete the email account. Once I'd managed to do this the phone automatically decrypted itself.

As a result though, no widgets on my phone load. I've tried battery pulls but this hasn't worked.

Does anyone have any ideas before I have to do something drastic like delete and reinstall each app?

Thanks.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Have you removed the widgets from your homescreen and then added them again? That normally solves widget issues.

If you have then yeah, uninstall and reinstall. It'll only take a minute for each one so it's hardly the end of the world. Just a pain in the arse.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homer Griffin:
Thanks, simple solution, should have tried that before!

It is an utter pain because most of my widgets and short cuts are invisible- using circle launcher and wave launcher.

I shall get to it now!

[HTC Inspire 4G] 903jmoney88:
I downloaded this Rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1231337

I also downloaded this Sound boost

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1042288

I am a total NOOB to the Android system and am ashamed to say it, but can I take the files from the sound boost and add them to the Rom before installing to make the audio louder?

Any help would be fantastic. I'm not even opposed to using a different Rom with louder volume. I have an HTC Inspire 4g
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Yes it's possible but it will be a total pain in the ass. You'll need to go through the ROM's .zip and replace all of the files that are in the soundboost.zip with the files from the soundboost.zip

. They should be in the same hierarchical place. You'll also need to make sure they're compressed properly, which can be a challenge.

So much easier just to flash the ROM and let it reboot. Reboot to recovery and flash the soundboost
[HTC Inspire 4G] 903jmoney88:
Thank you so much for the info. Just one more thing. When I boot into recovery mode I'll select the zip file and boot from that same as installing a new system? My terminology is terrible when it comes to this stuff. Or is there a different option that I need to select?

I found some guides on the site here thank you for your help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Yes, you'll flash that .zip just like you would flash a ROM in recovery (Install from SD, Choose .zip)

Hi, I own a xperia x10 mini and I notice some apps wont work on it because of the screen size (said by one of those apps developers) is there an away to me to port it to work on my phone please?
[Android Software Development] addam360:
Well the issue is your screen resolution (although I'm guessing you already knew that). I have a friend with a Samsung Galaxy Europa who has the same issues because of the QVGA screen. Sorry but I don't think there's any way around this.

Just out of curiosity though, which apps are you trying to install? In some cases there may be alternatives that will support your resolution.
[Android Software Development] Innova133:
Android actually makes it very easy for developers to support different screen sizes, aspect rations, resolutions and orientations. However, it is up to the app developer to use the tools in the Android development kit to support them.

So unfortunately, without the source code, there is nothing for end users to do.
[Android Software Development] Playon90:
Thanks for the help and Addam specially Molome... I requested them a million times and til now they dont moved a finger to make it work for Low res phones :(
[Flipside General] fireflamesniper:
My Girlfriend has this phone and tells me that it freezes, Randomly reboots, and is slow. What are someways i can tell her to fix this/ speed it up more?
[Flipside General] pre4speed:
Does she have 2.2? From what you are saying sounds like it. Ever since upgrading, my phone does 2 of those things. I think it runs faster than 2.1 tho. I recommend to help it run faster to root it and download link2sd and link every app you can. That will free up space and should help with running faster.
[Flipside General] fireflamesniper:
no hers is stock, she doesnt hack it, i don't hack it, its stock sense she got it
[Flipside General] pre4speed:
Ok. Well even on 2.1, your best option with the limited space Motorola gave us is to root then link. Rooting you can also free up a little bit of internal space by getting rid of atts bloat. Hth
[Flipside General] fireflamesniper:
She just updated the Motorola official 2.2 update to her phone, now she says it keeps going from the motorola M logo screen to the AT&T " Rethink possible" screen", is this what its supossed to be doing?
[Flipside General] pre4speed:
You mean its looping? If its just that it goes from the M to rethink possible, then loads, thats what it should be doing. If its looping, then something went wrong with the update. Which method did she use to update?
[Flipside General] fireflamesniper:
Never mind, we found out about motorolas offical flipside update they released via their site and we put that on her phone. It wouldn't go past the splash screen but I fixed her phone and it us faster and working now :)
[Acer Iconia A500] birdster:
Hi there would love to listen to FM radio on my Iconia, does the Iconia have the necessary hardware/chip to be able use some of the hacks that have been done to enable FM on some Android devices ??
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
nope

You would have to use a external tuner.there is no audio in port on Iconia that I know of so don't know if its possible at all.but lots of FM radio stations broadcast off there websites. I think thisnis your best option
[Acer Iconia A500] birdster:
Thanks for your reply Erica, yep I know there are apps for streaming, but I wanted to do a custom install in my Nissan Navara truck and use purely FM and RDS to save money on streaming data...

Any ideas anyone?
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
You can't as Erica said. The tablet just doesn't have the FM tuner that you would need.

EDIT: You asked for an idea so here's one. Buy a radio. :) You won't be able to play radios on this tablet without streaming the music to.
[Acer Iconia A500] birdster:
well officially it doesn't have FM radio support, but like the phones I'm pasting below these dont either but have the hardware to do it but are not enabled in stock and have been made to work, what I'm asking does the iconia have the capability like these phones?

Quote :

Spirit FM Radio is most likely to run well on CM7 ROMs with the CM FM app, but is also reported to work well on some MIUI and other ROMs.

Experimental Galaxy S support for Darky ROM, and CM7 and related ROMs has been pulled.

These devices have been confirmed to work well:

TI chips: - HTC Legend - HTC Tattoo / Click - Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini (Stock ROM rooted. Not mini pro, yet) - Motorola Droid X (some report problems, but others seem OK)

Broadcom chips: - HTC Desire / Bravo (GSM only) - HTC Desire Z / Vision / T-Mobile G2 / Merge / Sprint EVO Shift 4G - HTC Desire HD / Ace / AT&T Inspire 4G - HTC EVO 4G / Supersonic - HTC EVO 3D - HTC Google Nexus One - HTC Touch HD2 / Leo - HTC Aria / Liberty - HTC Wildfire / Buzz - LG Optimus One / P500 - LG Swift / GT540 - Dell Streak (Only from speaker so far, not headphones)

These devices have not been confirmed, but supported the CM FM app (as of May 1st) and are likely to work:

Broadcom chips: - HTC Glacier / T-Mobile myTouch 4G - HTC Incredible / DROID Incredible - HTC ThunderBolt / Mecha (Scorpion) - Geeksphone Zero - Motorola Zeppelin

These devices will be better supported as I continue to add support for Silicon Labs FM chips:

- Samsung Galaxy S/S2. - ZTE Blade / Racer.

These devices contain Broadcom chips, but appear to be unable to receive FM. They show unusual RSSI values, that jump rapidly between such values as: -128, 0, 16, and 55. None of these devices have a stock FM app, nor will any other FM app function. My theory is that these devices lack the hardware connections to operate, and may even be deliberately disabled:

- HTC Google Nexus S (Has no Silicon Labs FM chip, unlike Samsung Galaxy S.) - Samsung Galaxy Tab - Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700 - Motorola Atrix 4G

These devices do not seem to function well for unknown reasons. Hopefully they will be enabled in future:

- HTC Desire CDMA / BravoC - Samsung s5570 mini (GT-S5570) - Sony Ericsson x10 mini pro

These devices seem to function well but audio has not yet been enabled. An analog audio routing method may be discovered, or digital audio (when supported) may help resolve this issue:

- Samsung Galaxy 5 / GT-i5500 and other Galaxy 5 series devices with MAX8899 audio chip - LG Optimus 2X / Star / Speed / P990 - Wits A81E\G (WG7310) (FM Antenna must be soldered)
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
CM7 runs gingerbread so we can stop the discussion right there.

Even if you would have such a chip (which would require tearing the device and checking it or getting your hands on a Tech manual) you'd still need the software which we don't.

So until we get some developers that made the app for CM here and someone to port the app to Gingerbread we won't be able to do anything even if we had the correct chip.

[Defy General] blackice_bg:
So i charged my phone as usual, and four hours later it was crying for power. The problem is that i barely touched the phone during the four hours in question...

Here is a screenshot:

The phone is about 2 months old. I flashed CM7 last week, however this is the first time my battery drops dead so fast, given i didn't have any apps opened or whatever... (i kill everything with Advanced Task Killer before turning off the display).

The sync and data traffic were both on, but that's how they are all the time...

Please help me figure out what happened. The phone is on the charger atm, I will check if the same thing happens again when it charges up.
[Defy General] mihovil13:
Always, after flashing a new rom, you must run Battery Calibration...
[Defy General] blackice_bg:
As I said, i flashed CM7 last week and this is the first time my battery drops so fast... So i doubt it has to do with calibration... I will wait to see if the battery drops so quickly again after its recharged and if so i will calibrate it.

Hi,

I am having this kind of battery drain issue (not so big but still) with this kernel cm7-110822-1650-BOOT179-4-Jordan.zip.

Which kernel do you use and where can I find some informations about this kernel battery drain please?

I am following the cyanogen thread since some weeks now and a lot of people seems to use this kernel :confused:
[Defy General] blackice_bg:
I'm running cm7.1.0 RC1 v2 (which should be using the 179 kernel in question), i also applied the RAM patch from your sig, so I'm not using atkiller anymore, also i got the battery calibrated.

Phone's behaving fine now but I still got no clue as to what caused the problem or if any of the things that I did fixed it.
[Defy General] blackice_bg:
And it was all fine until last night when my battery dropped from 80 to 1% in about 8 hours when i was sleeping. I will be flashing 0901 later today... This is starting to get very annoying...
[Defy General] blackice_bg:
Update.

Yesterday I installed BatteryMonWidget and here's what happened last night:

-1171mA in the middle of the night with both data and sync off ...

I am running Nightly 0901 with battery calibrated and all, It was behaving the same way with RC1 v2, I didn't have BMW then but it was having the same kind of drops in the battery use graphs...

So any suggestions?
[Defy General] sp8y:
Looking at your battery during the loss it goes from 70% down to 49% - now a few people, me included, have a strange issue with the battery % at around the 49% level. Mine tends to go from 59% down 49% & this is only when I charge it to a full 100%. If I let it discharge lower than 49% then charge it to an indicated 95%, which the Defy actually reads as fully charge, then my battery discharges normally without any jumps. It's always been like this for me regardless of being on CM7, froyo etc. & makes no difference wiping battery stats or calibrations.

You could also get alogcat from the market & see if it shows any abnormalities during that time incase your issue is caused by something else.

Also if you keep an eye in your settings menu, battery use & see if Android OS is using a lot of battery at that time.

Likewise look in the spare parts app,battery history, other usage, CPU usage & see if any process seems abnormaly high - maybe "suspend" as this is an issue for many people at the moment.
[Defy General] blackice_bg:
Thank you for the reply.

About the charge-discharge drop - It happens to me too, but not on every charge/discharge... Today when I was charging my phone and it went from 77 to 100 in 5 minutes. (indicated as ~1400 mA jump by BMW). Also i had another huge drop in battery around 11am (42% to 19%)...

I have been keeping an eye on the battery usage statistics and CPU usage too, but nothing strange there...

You can see the two drops and the charge jump on the screenshot:
[Defy General] Bl4ck3urn:
i've got the same issue like you 2! with RC1V2 my battery dropped from 54% to 49%.

now with RC1.5 it goes down from 59% to 49%.

that's very strange.
[Defy General] spepper:
for what it's worth

For what it's worth-- I am running standard OTA Froyo, and after I noticed in just the past couple of months of very warm to darn near hot to touch, and dramatic battery power loss compared to when I first owned it, I started trying different things to manage that-- turning off Wifi, 3g etc-- what I found on mine was that turning off "background data" in the data manager settings, did the trick for me-- it has returned to the optimal power status/standby time I was used to, when I first started using it.
[Defy General] blackice_bg:
I haven't tried fiddling with the "background data" setting, but today i got the exact same drops at the exact same percentages, which leads me to believe that it has to do with the charge estimation method. So today i put a brand new battery in my phone and im waiting to see if there will be a similar dip in the charge level as with the older one.

Here's a pic of the drops:
[Defy General] Acceleracer:
Battery Calibration helped me, too !
[Defy General] blackice_bg:
Another update :)

After I changed the battery the drops disappeared, however i have a new smaller drop (60 to 50%), I have to see if it will appear again after the next charge. However my phone is alive and kicking after 48 hours of use with about 40% battery left. So I will go ahead and say that my old battery was faulty/misused or for whatever reason it was not performing optimally.

I will give it to a friend with a defy and ask him to install bmw and use it for a week and let me check the logs afterwards, i suspect they will be more or less similar to mine regarding the charge drops.
[Defy General] crixxalis:

btw, do you have heating problem? it might be becuse of some overclock or wrong vsel. check that too.
[Defy General] Bl4ck3urn:

[Defy General] blackice_bg:
