Hey Spookie,

Sorry champ, if I misdirected you, what I ment by batch backup all the apps first was to do with "Titanium Backup" from the market, it requires root access

to test for correct root access, you should get # when you type su in a terminal emulator.

try this once you have it installed,

Download the Iphone keyboard from the market, the go to settings, keyboard, and enable the iphone keyboard (tick box) then, find any text box and press and hold the box untill "input method" comes up select iphone keyboard

Once you have the iphone keyboard working, you can then delete the baidu (or whatever it was called) keyboard, by opening Titanium backup, accept super user access, then go to "backup / Restore" then press the menu key (vol up) then select "Batch" then select "backup all user apps +system data", then once completed, you can then go back to "backup /restore" and find Baidu input and select it, and then "uninstall"

Congrats you have now deleted the Baidu input,

I would recommend NOT uninstalling anything that you don't know if it is crucial or not, as if you delete the wrong thing you can get major "Force close" issues and make the phone 100% unusable until a ROM has been released to re-write the partition and start again...

With the Camera, I will post a heap of photos up when I get mine working again, I have taken lots of photos of pulling it apart and upgrading storage etc. I am in the progress of putting all the info from this post into a full guide with photos of step by step how to do everything that I know of, as I can't find anything from anyone else posted on the net regarding most of the things i have covered, I might just step up to the plate and do it :D

With Youtube, I installed the tubemate app from market, worked fine for me.., try it an let me know

Hope this helps!!!

Also, for those who didn't know, when you have the slide to unlock screen, if you double click home you will get a camera icon pop up (on an Iphone / ipod this is to access the music menu) that way you can get quick access to the camera to take a photo :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] deepakpitrola333:
hey keg why are you telling him to uninstall baidu input, on its last setting it is a perfect iphone input keyboard completely in english, the one on the app market is not good looking or accurate.

also, on youtube this guy, mayiandjay, has good videos on some of the stuff your trying to explain so maybe skip this to save time.

lastly i hope you get your phone back to working, as i have the phone working and sort know what im doin, feel free to ask for anything from it.

spookie, ill get some daylight pics up in the morning, at night the camera looks more grainy but is still good.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kegatron:
Hi deepakpitrola333,

Sorry I never really gave the Baidu input a real go, I found it slow unresponsive, and sometimes would revert back to converting whatever I was trying to write into Chinese, so it got the ass, I did get swype working on it, but I'm used to my Galaxy S and didn't find it that good on this device.

I suppose my guide to deleting the Baidu input was reversable if you did it step by step, you can go into titanium backup, go to backup / resore, and go right to the bottom, select baidu input that should have a line through it, and select restore.

BAM!!! Bauidu is back, though you will have to enable it again through the keyboard s option in settings, then press and hold a text box and select it again....

Sorry for the confusion.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] deepakpitrola333:
yea it took me a while to set it to how i like, iphone style full english with predictive, wild guesses from the options list when holding down the circle key.

it is faster than the 4-5 keyboards ive used and looks the best in caps with no numbers to ruin the look.

it wont help you keg because yours is unfortunately bricked but spookie, on baidu after getting the keyboard up (press home a few times), hold the circle (world?) key, then select last, (keyboard will close) then hold bottom left key after getting it back up then first option, then second to last for predictive or last for non predictive.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kegatron:
Got the Goo Going again!!!

WOOOO!!! I'm soo happy :D

here's how I did it, (and I will add this to the first post)

When my device was bootlooping (the gooapple animation was playing over and over) I connected it to my computer, noticed that once again I got the unknown devices (4x qualcomm HSUSB interface) pop upagain and after giving up trying to find the Qualcomm HSUSB Driver prviously I decided to go on the hunt as this was close to my last resort before giving up for the day, well guess what!! I found it!!

I downloaded a file called PdaNetA302.exe and it installed the correct drivers for me!!! from there I could finally see the device in the Android Debug Bridge (especially whilst it was was booting!!) from there I could push the framework-res.apk into the /system/framework/ dir on the goo!!! WOO HOO!!

I'l play with it for a while and start ripping everything off it tonight, see what I can do about making a backup of some sort.... or if anything a listing of all dirs and files in each partition.

Thanks everyone who is reading this for your support during these "goo-less" times :)

Hi! I am the youtube member "mayiandjay" that has been posting some videos on how to work around with the gooapple 3g.

Recently I tried flashing clockworkmod recovery but now I get stuck on the "gooapple" logo.

How can I restore the original recovery Image or get one that works for this unit. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!! THANKS IN ADVANCE.

i managed to install the CyanogenMod ROM, Gingerbread 2.3.5, pretty neat, but i got no bluetooth, and no 3g at all, maybe i did something wrong, it's pretty possible, not blaming the people who created the ROM, maybe something to do with build.properties file or whatever, right now i need a donut 1.6 ROM to make the downgrade and then reinstalla eclair via SESU, (it has to be a SE Official ROM?), anyone has a 1.6 ROM ?? i already have CWM and Root , but i need the 3g working because i am paying it and the phone company wont give the APN parameter alleging that i should not have done the upgrade because their stupid network doesnt support beyond eclair, so i am pretty ****ed up, the ROM is pretty amazing, is amazing the work done here for so many people, congratulations, please help me

Thanks in advance

Or maybe some has the so much needed APN data to connect to Claro El Salvador

Thanks again
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] achyut:
u don't need 1.6 to use SEUS....just choose SEUS and click "repair phone", plug in ur 2.3.5 installed minipro and SEUS will reinstall the stock, clean 2.1update1

if i helped you, press the "THANKS" button :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] efeboAbel:
hi achyut, i already tried that and doesnt work, at first i thought , if this ROM doesnt work for me, i will use the SESU or PC Companion, but both programs say that i already have the latest SW, so i need the 3g that why i am going back either 1.6 or 2.1, maybe i did something wrong flashing the ROM i dont know, but the idiots from Claro El Salvador wont help me, and wont give me the APN data, actully i got a message asking me a SIM Pin Network code, Claro El Salvador says that messages popup because Gingerbread is not supported
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] achyut:
naa man, i have done dis million tymz b4!!!!...do dis, go 2 pc companion, then 2 support zone (don't plug ur cell in), click "phone software update"...a popup will say "could not connect phone" and there will be a link "repair phone" click dat and then continue :)

hope this will help you :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] efeboAbel:
nope man, is not a lie, i tried twice more and then again it say there is no sw available because it detects that the phone has gingerbread 2.3.5, tried the SESU and PC Companion, these are the latest because they upgrade themselves,
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Theshawty:
Try doing this: Go into the APN settings, and type in this:

APN = internet.ideasclaro

Just type in the internet.ideasclaro in the box and save it. No user or pass required. If it works, press thanks button.

If the above didn't work, try this:

Try the settings for WAP and it should work perfectly. If I helped you, press the thanks button.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] efeboAbel:
I have a Sony Xperia X10 mini pro, and i used the cyanogen rom, gingerbread 2.3.5, now i use the latest one and after getting Theshawty's help, i got 3g working, and after that, i checked again the bluetooth and it's paired with my headset, but i think i will try froyo 2.2, because i got no google maps in gingerbread, and i need it, i got no youtube either, on a near future i will sell the phone and i will be needing the downgrade i think, because i will sell it with donut, not with eclair, froyo or gingerbread
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sn4p:
Are your phone an "a" or "i" version? If you flashed and "a" phone with an "i" firmware the 3G won't work (I know this from experience). I'm assuming an "a" since you were talking about build file (I'm guessing from updating from 006 -> 015 firmware). Anyway just download a stock fw for your phone ("a" version) and flash using flashtool, then update back to 2.1 with SE updater or PC companion.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rosshalz:
Follow these instructions, u'll have a clean, local, stock eclair.. It's for unbricking bricked x10 mini pros but should work just fine on normally working ones too!

Peace!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] efeboAbel:
I am using froyo 2.2.1 on my sony xperia x10 mini pro, according to the box, it's u20a, dont ask me how, but the froyo CyaNoComb v1.4 says u20i, i got the 3g working using the APN configuration that Theshawty posted, and it works like a charm, i like froyo CyaNoComb v1.4 over Gingerbread, i got google maps, google voice, voice search, even google car home
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hackleonheart:
when i first upgrade my phone from stock ROM to CM7 ROM, i lost my APN. So i downgraded it and note my APN, then after upgrade, i set APN manually, and it works.

Have you done the full wipe? Do full wipe via recovery and reinstall the 2.3.5 ROM.

Hope it helps you :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] efeboAbel:
yeap, i actually did the full wipe, and knowing the apn parameters helped me, but now i am using froyo 2.2, is more stable than gingerbread, the launcher on gingerbread was crashing all the time, now with froyo is more smooth

Bonsai uses Zeam as the default launcher and the blacked out apps are usually a theme choice.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] ksporry:
Hi Guys,

I thought it might be interesting to open up a discusison about the Pro's and Con's of the different ROMs that are being developed, as well as any extras, like kernels for overclocking. Honestly, this is born from my desire to know the pro's and con's of each so I can decide which one I want to flash, but I think we can all benefit from such a discussion, and learn from each other.

So far I have seen several ROMs: Prime, Revolver, Revolution HD, Clemsyn's ROM and Kernel.

My understanding is that some kernels just ad extra functionality to the device (eg, an overclock kernel helps overclocking, but is not a full blown ROM), whilst others just add different icons or fonts.

I'd be useful to get an overview of these with pro's and cons (we might want to make it a sticky).

Note that I'm not too interested in the differences between the ROMS that are specified in each individual ROM release post. I think we can all read those in the original post. But they won't tell you what pros and cons there are fo rthe features of each ROM, and that might be worth a discussion.

I guess we best start with identifying what is so special about one ROM compared to another...

Anyone want sto start first (Maybe the developers of the ROMs I mentioned...)?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SwiftLegend:
Well I've used Prime, RHD, and Clemsyn's.

Prime: Really smooth, haven't experienced any lag. Gave me no problems since I've been using it. (Since Primodial(?) v1) Very good experience and nice support. Bootup time was the fastest from any rom I've used. Multitasking was fluid.

RHD: Really smooth and quite snappy, no lag yet. (Running this now) Switching between apps is fluid and quick. Bootup time, for me anyways, is long. That isn't a problem for me since I don't turn it off and only reboot when I flash something new.

Clemsyn's: Kept rebooting. I probably did something wrong, but instead of fixing it, I just restored to Prime lol. Now I only use his kernel.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ksporry:
So what's the benefit of a custom ROM over the Stock ROM? The Stock ROM is pretty fast to boot up, unlike P1.9 which I just installed. Is there an improvement over stability? Better battery life? more powerful?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thebadfrog:
Prime 1.9 (Revolution HD as well) is slow to boot because it zipaligns everything on boot which makes everything run faster. These are meant to be on all the time so boot time is of very little concern to me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] minhgi:
Please note, Prime, HD, and Revolver roms all have zipaligns at boot. It is only a one time process or with newly downloaded appz that zipalign at boot is require.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ksporry:
So if I understand correctly, the custom ROMs are more efficient and faster than stock...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sazfar13:
How is the battery life with the RHD. I am on Prime and the battery drain with the tablet + dock in idle is very irksome. It may be due to some thing else though. I am considering trying RHD to get rid of the battery drain.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SwiftLegend:
Well, I was Upstate this weekend, and trying to tether thru my phone and trying to mooch off the neighbors' far away WiFi, my battery still lasted a long time. I'd say from around 9 am to 10 or 11 pm :) Been using it off and on today since 8 am and it's only at 93%.

EDIT: I totally forgot HD and Prime zipalign apps at startup. That really does make a difference.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sazfar13:
Are you on prime or RHD?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rustyshack3:
I just had a lot of trouble trying to root my galaxy tab. Instructions from a couple different sources said you have to set up Kies first and get that working.

== IN MY EXPERIENCE ==

It turns out, all you have to use Kies for is to get the drivers, and pay no attention to the fact that you cant do anything with Kies. Kies kept telling me my device wasnt supported and it wasnt in the right mode and such. Finally I just skipped that step and went and turned USB Debugging back on and gave SuperOneClickRoot a shot and it worked!

I dont know if this was a maverick move, so follow at your own risk.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellonasty73:
I'm new to the forum as a member but have been reading for a while. Well, I successfully flashed my ROM to Serendipity 6.4. Really dig it...except for the fact that I couldn't overvolt it out of the box. It stated that my kernel wasn't compatible. I think I had 2.1 or something like that. So I tried to flash the kernel to 4.1 and everything seemed to be going good and it stated that it was successful until the reboot. It won't boot bast the AT&T splash screen, well it does, but after that there is a thin blue line and just stays there. I've gone through all of the key combinations and I can't get it to mount in any way whatsoever. Battery in, battery out, usb cable in, out. Volume in, up, down, etc...

Odin3 won't recognize it, Windows 7 does for a split sec, then the phone will reboot, over and over...

Did I completely brick it? I should have just left Serendipity just the way it was without trying to get to greedy. This is my replacement phone that I got a tad over a month ago. Think I may blame it on kies and tell them to send me a warranty replacement without paying the deductible, which is stupidly high.

Thanks for the feed back. Your tutorials have been great for the most part. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
If the screen comes on your not bricked. Might take some maneuvering to get it in dl mode but when you do your golden. I had my win7 lappy stop recognizing my phone for sone reason, no mattrr what usb port i used, so I had to use a vista computer. A jig should work to get you in download. Once your there you just have to get Odin to recognize your phone which might take using different usb ports or a different cable. Do you know what bootloaders you had? Because i9000 uses a different button configuration for download mode then the i897
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellonasty73:
To be honest, no, I have no idea what boot loader I had/have. As far as using a different computer using anything different that 7, that may be a no go. Anything with Vista on it would have been reformatted or thrown out the window. I might have a PC that has XP on it but that may be a stretch. You make it sound somewhat comforting that it hits the ATT splash screen.

I've been overclocking PC's for the longest time and, believe it or not I work IT. Modding phones, which in this case shouldn't be much different, this one has me boggled. I've flashed ROM on a motherboard a million times...so how much different could this be?

I'll work on it a bit tomorrow and see what results I can come up with, with some help hopefully. If I can't get Windows to recognize, it seems a bit disparaging.

BTW, I have and I897.

I got into an argument with another user over Sprint's official tolerance to users with rooted phones as posted on this site. The other user however pointed me to this website.

What's important is quoted here

This is verbatim from the Terms of Service which take effect on 9/9/2011. This is the most disappointing thing I've read all week.
