[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KJj:
But it was the fact that it was rooted that the VZW OTA most likely installed incorrectly. This is nothing new, there were cases a while back with the iPhone where if it was jailbroken the updates would practically brick the phones. And actually, this is common for most software that has been tempered with. Update a cracked game and it removes the crack, updated a pirated copy of Windows with some specific update and the OS becomes invalid, etc.

So technically you can't really go with the "But VZW OTA broke it!" excuse, because most likely the update was not meant to work with a device that was rooted. Of course, unless there is no evidence of the s-off/rooting and stuff like that is present, so yeah...

would've been fine if verizon didn't push the ota on to my phone without my permission. I didn't accept the download or install it did it on its own.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
Not that I disagree with you, and I'm happy you got your new phone!

but I think, that you can install the OTA while rooted if you temporarily put the stock recoveyr back on. I could be wrong. did you do this?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KJj:
nope didn't try that. I think i learned my lesson though... come to here and seek guidance from those that are smarter than me on this subject.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
Seems like it would be a less of a hassle to just flash a new rom that has the updated version.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rafiqzadah:
My Phone charges. With Green Light cuz the battery is full. I try to reboot to bootloader and the LED flashes back to red and Flashes every 6-8 seconds. And it wont reboot.. ADB recognizes the device... I can pull the commands <adb reboot bootloader> and <adb reboot recovery> but the device doesn't boot into recovery or bootloader... and When i try to manually boot into recovery... The devices flashes the bootloader and then turns off.... Help please...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodSkin:
ive found a number of guides out there on how to build a custom rom. i followed one, didnt realize i had the boot loaders in there, and bricked my phone. i got it back to life after a couple weeks and $60.

my question is this; so as to prevent that crap from happening again, which guide is best suited for i897uckh3?

EDIT: i dont like to ask for help, i prefer to search and read. well, that cost me $60, so i figure i earned the right to ask this ignorant of a question.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodSkin:
to clarify, this is the one that i followed and black screen of death'd my phone. now that i got one working again id like to give it another shot but with more caution this time. mind you i plan to build on a kh3 base.

in theory would this work?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
umm just remove the bootloaders....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodSkin:
right i understand that part and dont know why i didnt the first time around but my question is has anyone successfully used this method with kh3

might help if i linked it. brb getting link.

i know not to use much of anything from that post as far as software goes aside from the progys used for building and can find all the resources mentioned there for the captivate vs the i9000.

Hi everyone,

I'm going to get the Galaxy S 2 soon and wanted to know few things please.

1. I seen on my friend one all of the menu have black background. Is there a way to change these colour like to Light theme instead of dark on the settings page?

2. How is the batter like on that phone?

3. Can it really be fully customized like in having different themes not just changing wallpaper like iPhone 4?

Thanks for reading

[Verizon Droid Charge] gregro611:
Well, probably old questions but I didn't see any threads dealing with this.

First one is-- is there a way to select multiple emails for deleting (or moving, etc.)? Coming from a Droid X where this was option was always available. I'm using the stock email app on the Charge.

Second question-- there's an icon at the top of the homescreen that looks like a circle with a plus sign in the middle-- what is that? It looks like the VZNavigator icon but I haven't used that program yet.

Third question- regarding the four non-hardware buttons on the bottom of the screen (phone, contacts, messaging and apps)-- can I change the apps those buttons control? If yes, how? Couldn't find anything in settings.

Last question-- the Droid had a feature that I loved-- you swipe the puzzle piece to the right to unlock the screen AND/OR you swipe to the left to put the phone in silent mode, easy as pie. Loved that. Any way to achieve silence with a simple swipe like that? Or is there a widget for accessing silence?

Thanks very much,

Greg
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
1. In Gmail all you do is tap the check marks. Stock email app I don't know. Maybe try pressing the menu key and looking for a multi select?

2. Can't picture that. Can you provide a screenshot? (back+home)

3. AFAIK, no.

4. Any rom here has a better lockscreen. The puzzle is crap. I have the 4Tab TSM part on my phone (Gummy 2.0 FTW!). Unlock, silence, phone, and messaging.

[Verizon Droid Charge] gregro611:
Thanks for the quick response.

Nothing in the menu for selecting multiple emails that I could find. That's an important feature so I gotta believe there's an option for this somewhere.

I assume you rooted your phone? Just got mine two hours ago and it seems kinda early for that. I'm gonna give it the two weeks to see how much I can learn about this thing. Coming from the Droid X, which was a great phone but had it's share of issues. But I got used to a lot of the good things about that phone. Like the silence swipe and multiple emails select thing.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Yep. Flashed a new rom the day I got it. All roms here will root you, unless it's a stock rom rip. The swipe to silence is fixed when you flash a new rom :)

I wonder why the stock app doesn't have multi select. It wouldn't make sense not to have it. I'm sure it's there, we just can't find it. I can't really help you there, as I've never used it.

[Verizon Droid Charge] WilliamKingX17:
In the stock email app there should be little check marks on the far left side of the email. You check which ones you want to (Mark as Read) or (Delete). You should be able to check off as many individual emails as you like.

[Verizon Droid Charge] hiien:
In regards to your 3rd question about changing the icons in the dock, you can only do that if you download a 3rd party launcher, such as ADW. I don't remember if you need root for it since I rooted mine 2 days after I bought it. If anything, you could always root your phone and try it out. There are packages/ROMs/kernels on this forum that you can flash to your phone to unroot it and bring it back to factory stock.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jmorton10:
You can definitely run LPP without rooting.

My boss uses it in his DroidX and it's not rooted.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
Not true. You can change icons in the dock on the Touch Wiz launcher. In the application drawer press the menu button (bottom left hand key), press the edit soft key that comes up, and drag and drop your icons to the dock.

I would recommended downloading an alternative launcher from the market to speed up your phone. Root is not required to use alternative launchers.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
The circle with a cross in it (with some curved lines next to it if you have Google/Verizon location services enabled) is indicating that you have emergency GPS enabled. You cannot remove this icon without root as far as I know and you are required by law to have emergency GPS enabled.
[Verizon Droid Charge] gregro611:
You guys are awesome- thanks so much for the help. I will be trying out TouchWiz and ADW today, and ignoring that extra unecessary icon...

The un-ability to select multiple emails is going to be an issue for me- suggestions on workarounds or alternate email programs would be appreciated. I've got two email accounts plus the obligatory gmail.

TouchWiz crashes for some reason but ADW is doing what I wanted- thanks again!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
The stock email app on my phone has check marks next to the messages for multiple selection. Try making sure that you are on the latest stock firmware (EE4)
[Verizon Droid Charge] gregro611:
I think I wasn't clear on what I'm looking for-- I want a menu selection option that says "select all" in the email app. The Droid X has it and I really want that feature back. A few minutes ago I selected, one at a time, 30 emails to delete- very tedious.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
Okay, sorry about the confusion. I do not see a select all either. If you have several selected then there is an option to unselect all. I agree that this should be a feature.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brim4brim:
Hi,

I'm using GingerDX V011. I have tried wiping but when I use the keyboard, it causes the screen to go blank.

If I rotate phone sometimes it works and if I manage to quickly grab focus from keyboard back onto the textedit widget, it holds the screen the way it is supposed to.

However, it is a bit of a pain. It has happened with the Android keyboard and I have installed Swype and I get the same result and that is the keyboard I usually use.

Anyone else have this behavior and know how to resolve?

Fixed this, it was Xperia Arc theme issue on X8.
[Omnia II General] zao_89:
Well, first of all, I'm using the iso installer, and almost everything seems to be working fine except the camera. It just gives a general crash message when I try to use it, or any app that uses it. I think this may have to do with me using a 512 MB storage card (yeah, I know, it's small, but I can't find my other ones). This brings me to my next question:

Since I'm not able to use the "My Storage" on my Omnia, if I use a 16gb SD card, will I be able to use the full storage space?
[Omnia II General] Pingerek:
you cannot use my storage until you are a good in linux - nobody on this forum could not tell me hot to use my storage as fake sd card... but you will be able to use phisical sd card in android without any problem, one thin you can to is installing sd incrase program from market

Everybody needs to learn some etiquette when challenging somebodies work.

Have indesputible proof before you flame them.

People are people and we forget thing. PM the dev and ask for credit if credit is due, before you flame them.

Stop being cry babies and driving our devs away.

I have never seen so much drama in a dev community before. You are all babies and should be ashamed. Are you all 12 or do we have any adults here?

This post is just uncalled for honestly to say you all is quite a broad stroke statement. One which i take great offense to if you feel the need to call folks babies then turn around and say your working on a rom but may keep it to yourself well i say to you that is the pot calling the kettle black aint it. If ur gonna dev do it if not that is fine no one here twists your arms.

Props also to the McDonald brothers for innovating the hamburger originally offered at Delmonicos in New York, 1826. You'll find traces of it in my finished product. I hope I don't get flamed.

It just boils down to people not giving credit. 0vermind didn't mention Zep once, but he did list his tweaks.

I think some other developers are just sick of kanging and not getting credit. If I was a developer and someone took my stuff, didn't give me credit - I'd be ticked off too.

True. I see the point, but nobody is financially involved and the community is trying to get off the ground. Lets work together and improve on each other.

[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
LOL! But seriously, isn't there something more productive to do than to snipe at each other? I think everyone would agree that kanging someone's work is fundamentally wrong & ethically reprehensible. It's just bad form & it violates the integrity of this forum & its rules of order. Its bad practice that yields bad returns & promotes bad atmosphere. Which is exactly what this forum doesn't need. It wasn't so long ago that xda was THE forum & THE resource for innovation & creativity because of its contributors and participants. Now, all of that has changed. Why? And what can we do about it? Is the real answer to get smaller but purer? Or can there be a way to confront issues before they ignite publicly?

Or revert to being 6 and calling me names and dissing me because obviously ur drunk and have nothing else to do but stroke yourself.

the problem is that once u push me to leaving the phone alone because of ur less than stellar response, now its just u left to figure out everything for everyone that WE'VE left waiting for any kind of development.

U lose a colleague that could potentially help u reinvent the wheel

U are "kanging" a (insert derogatory term here) move just to tell someone in ur everyday life that doesn't even care about ur developing talents that someone is stealing from u

Then u get worked up over it and they laugh at u.

Soooooooooooo. Instead of meeting a new teammate u willingly push urself deeper into the (insert derogatory term here) category

It's unfortunate, to say the least. At the end of the day most devs don't credit Google, and as we all know w/out their OS none of this is possible. I'm just a simple member that loves all the devs contributions; isn't the choices what Android is all about? These forums are becoming monopolized by certain devs. It's obvious, but if they feel credit is due, as it should be, then go about it w/ PM's. Don't go blasting them publicly. Personally, I want to enjoy all possible mods, hacks, ROMS, and so on w/out reading a flame war... I digress. Thank you to the devs who have been able to do what they do for me..for us the community.

And to the OP, don't keep that ROM to yourself. Share with the community in an attempt to better it!! Good day.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Like everyone is saying...its not crazy he built his own scripts by tearing apart others and rebuilding them to his needs and wants he said it was a 6 month project and i think he mentioned that he took stuff from all over the place like everyone does in this GNU open-source linux community and made it his own, he probably forgot were everything came from. I know when im building a php or asp website with lots of scripts that takes me a couple of months to get just the way i like it god knows i couldn't tell you where i got all the code from you just google copy n paste try try try till it works. He said he used other peoples codes he gave reference to the init.d script and gave credit to that dev, that was just rude and totally un called for. I know that people are using my coding from php in there sites and my WP-plugins without giving me credit...its cool sometimes they float me a couple bucks rarely but whatever if you really want to throw a fit then open source GNU homebrew isn't a good place for some people unfortunetly. He seemed so excited to get his work out there you should know how that feels after so much work done and nobody knowing anything, like i do all this crazy coding and i show my wife some stupid javascript contact form that i worked really hard on and she doesn't know all that went into it and just says "it looks nice" he posted that so people could appreciate his work and he got raped. Sorry long rant but this whole thing was bad.

The way everybody is acting around here lately, if I made a rom or whatever, I would keep it to myself to. Everybody keep saying we need more devs, roms,themes, etc etc, but once somebody creates something, all hell breaks loose. And yes, i understand about the giving credit where credit is due thing, but my goodness i thought everybody here was grown?

What I think is ironic is that real life people think Im as smart as the devs here just because I can take their phone and do to it what Ive already done to mine. Even when I explain that Im just repeating motions like a trained monkey they smile blankly and give me beer and hugs, two very real forms of currency in my world. Ill never share my beer and I cant mail a hug so all gratitude goes fully to me, and theyll never remember what I said or did just how much cooler their phone is now :p

[One] Definition of development from the dictionary:

"An event constituting a new stage in a changing situation".

Wouldn't someone think that this is a plus? Credits credits credits, fame fame fame. Sure I'd appreciate some credit if someone used things I created. But why flame or troll someone publicly when it can be done privately.

Here, I even wrote something up for you to PM someone who you think might have used your creation

If you use it, give me credits.

Just kidding. I really don't care.

Ticked off? It's an overstatement. People want their name out there. Which is fine. Make a contribution, and get recognition. And if someone doesn't give credit, you have the right to ask them well. But it SHOULD be done privately, and politely.

Also, I'm going to use nitro as an example here. His Eclipse ROM is a great contribution to the community. Its a wonderful BASE for another ROM huh? If someone uses his base, then sure he deserves credit. But I don't think he should go at it in such a way as to alienate the ROM developer by attempting to publicly humiliate the developer. IMO, it needs to be a private discussion.

I like seeing amounts of development. I love it actually. I wish I could do more for the community, but I cannot. I give thanks when necessary.

When I first enabled the CRT animation, and P3Droid zipped it and made it flashable then signed it, I gave credit. It's right there in the thread. Sure, people might not look at me as high anymore, but P3 made it more user friendly which is PROGRESS.

I hope you take my words to heart. Be the better developer. Be friendly, and helpful. Make friends not enemies. Do it for progress.
