[Droid X General] Mastur Mynd:
I Just bought a Droid X from my brother. I decided to root it and try to load a custom rom on it.

On to the problem...

I tried to install a rom onto the phone, but forgot to do a full wipe before I installed which caused the inability to boot past the Motorola logo.

Now here's the embarrassing part... I forgot to do a nand backup before I installed.

I've tried using RSD Lite, but it wont ever show the X. I know there's nothing wrong with the program because i connected my OG Droid to it and it showed right up.

I can boot into the stock recovery and bootloader. Is there anything that I can do to get this phone un-"bricked"

I don't really care if what I have to do will unroot my phone or take it back to its factory rom and settings or completely wipe everything. I just want it to work again. Everything else can either be redone or remade.

Thanks in advance
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
The only thing you can do is SBF. You can use RSD Lite or go the Linux way. (The Linux way is much easier and faster.)

You can Google for guides, and be sure that if you use RSD Lite that you have the correct drivers installed.
[Droid X General] Mastur Mynd:
The correct drivers are installed, ive even un installed and reinstalled several times just to check. i'll be buying a linux powerd laptop from a friend here soon. Thanks for the tips
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
I hope you're not buying a Linux laptop especially for this; linux can be ran, without installation, through a cd or a flash drive.

There's even a Linux distribution floating around that is specifically for SBFing. Either way, good luck to you! =D
[Droid X General] Tone_Capone:
Make sure also that you are running RSD as an admin :). Sometimes it will work without showing the device too
[Droid X General] Mastur Mynd:
Yeah, I've been running as admin and in compatibility mode. O guess I can try to push a rom with it not showing. Could anyone link me to some details on how? or is it as simple as hook up in bootloader, select rom and hit start?

Also, I'm not buying the laptop specifically for this (the phone itself only cost me $20 with only the battery and battery cover missing). I intend on using it for the access to all of the developmental tools for Android. Thanks again to you both for the concern.

@infazzdar - What exactly is the "linux way" you spoke of in your first post? This seems like it may be the better way to do it
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
The Linux way involves using terminal and an sbf flash script to SBF. Also, you don't have to install any drivers, it fails less, and I believe that it's faster than using RSD Lite.
[Droid X General] Mastur Mynd:
I'm guessing there's a youtube video that can give me a step by step instructions to do that so I'll post back when I get the chance to do the SBF. Thanks a ton
[Droid X General] Mastur Mynd:
Ok, somehow my rsdlite decided to recognise my phone now. its connecting, but when I choose the sbf, it says "chipset type 50 is not supported" in the status section

EDIT - YAY!! MY PHONE'S FIXED!!

Had to download a newer version of RSD lite and after that it worked like a charm. a HUUUUUGE thank you to you guys!!
[Droid X General] ljbaumer:
Great to hear!

If this ever happens again and RSD lite just doesn't work you can always do the linux way like someone else said earlier. I can give you step by step instructions on that if you want, just send me a PM.

Hi, I don't know if it is the right place to ask this question but I need some help.

I am writing an android app, and I want to access the playlist created by android default music app.

In my app, the user should be able to browse the playlist and select any playlist to play.

So basically I want to know how to access it and when user selects any playlist, how to pass it to default music app to play it in background.

Is it something to do with ContentProvider or mediastore?? I really don't know how to access data on other apps.

Thank you so much!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparksltd:
I'm currently on the latest sensation rom with ninphetamine kernel.

Problem is that I'm unable to boot using rom manager into cwm or make a backup of current rom.

It displays at the top of rom manager that the current version of cwm is 4.0.1.5 however if I boot into cwm using the 3 button combo it displays 4.0.0.2. I'm assuming that's the version that came with the ninphetamine kernel.

I have tried flashing cwm 4.0.1.5 with an update.zip in version 4.0.0.2 and after doing that it changes to 4.0.1.5 but after a reboot its back to 4.0.0.2.

I guess I'm doing or have done something really stupid here and would appreciate if anyone could point out my problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangiers:
Download the app Quickboot from Market and boot into your real recovery from it. Don't use ROM Manager to boot into recovery. Ignore the recovery under ROM Manager. It is not a true recovery but an update.zip file. Your real recovery is the one that comes with your kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparksltd:
The solution I'm looking for is being able to use rom manager. I've paid £4 for this app and so far its useless to me.

I'm wondering if there is a way to have rom manager use the cwm from the kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangiers:
There isn't. Search for posts from codeworkx to see why.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Sachin_22:
Hello Everyone, Gingerbread was supposed to improve upon the Ace, but improvements are few and issues are more..There are many users that are having same issue and some of them want to revert to 2.2.1

I regret installing 2.3.4 DDKQ5. My phone was so smooth while using froyo 2.2.1.What I noticed :

1.Phone lags like hell while using live wallpapers.

2.Unlock screen lag

3.App drawer lags...it was very smooth in froyo

4.Pop menu animations lags.

5.Scrolling in pop menu also lags

6.RAM usage is high

7.Angry birds rio still lags in higher levels(Some people were saying that it has been fixed in XXKPH.)

8.Wi-fi error still there...have to restart phone to get it working.

Samsung really broke my heart :(

End of the day the GSII is a great phone.

Not sure why you would want to ruin it with sense though. I can't wait to get rid of it on my sensation.

That was my response :P Sense would be great if it wasn't such a hog.

They are the one that started the insults.

Grow up? Simply having fun, not doing any harm. So no, I don't need to grow up. People need to get a sense of humour and have a laugh. People are too serious here..

And I wished them luck if you read on, I said how's development going and wishing them luck. If they do it then good job to them.

(Although if our phone sucks, why they are trying to use our software is beyond me)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I'm not saying it's not funny (it is as TouchWiz is SO wank) but you've gone to THEIR forum - what did you expect to happen?? Of course you were gonna get grief!! :D
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Oh, trust me, I'm all for good laugh. But you know how sensitive whole sgs2 vs sensation thing is, even a joke will cause a war.

P.S. hate to admit, but Samsung has done a better job this time. I just prefer looks and feel of Sensation. But after experiencing few problems with it , if I had a choice again, I'd probably go SGS2. Not a fan of Samsung or HTC, I'm a fan of good quality equipment.

Just read somewhere that nexus prime is going to be Samsung parts in metal body. Now that is something to look out for.
[HTC Sensation] austendale9:
Yeah I know. Both of them are top of the range, high end amazing devices. Don't see why it's so sensitive. Just depends on your preference. For me, the look and resolution of the Sensation took me to the dark side :P
[HTC Sensation] ratchetnclank:
Its because its not needed, this place is full of noobs and people who disrespect the core of the community... the devs.
[HTC Sensation] austendale9:
I hate people that disrespect devs. Thumbs up to them for porting it.

I was on G+ on a CM developer and on the post about Sensation port this guy was just insulting CM7 saying it sucks, yet it takes time and effort to develop. I'm a developer myself (not for Android) and I know how it feels to have your work disrespected.

[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
Hi :) I've used a AKG 450 headset for a long time. The sound of it was very good if I used sony's w600 Bluetooth. If I connected it to the phone the sound wasnt to much to brag about. But now I've bought a sennheiser HD25-II-2 and a Fiio E11 but the sound through the Sony just sucks. But when I connect it directly too the phone, it sound, well, bloody f***ing good! So the situation has turned 360°. So what's wrong here? It got a great DA-converter but the phone's amp cant handle any resistance?
[LG Optimus 2x] Dac0908:
Amplifier, not a DA converter ;-)

I'm satisfied with sound, nothing spectacular but ok. It depends on what kind of headphones you have, higher impendance means higher load on headphone amp. Some like that, some not...

But, review on GSM arena said something about almost exceptional sound when connected to external amp so check it out
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
No, DA -converter. :) It must be really good compared to its amp. The akg is a perfect 32 ohms resistance, but still it sounded very bad indeed. But with the Fiio E11 amp it sounds so good that it just (almost) :) doesnt make sense ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] ClausG76:
I seem to remember that the highend senheisers, needs power to play well. I always go for low resistance headphones, since i only drive them with my phone amp. Sound was good with my old Sennheiser cx300 and realy good with my Sunrise Xcape Impressive edition.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
That was why I bought the amp. But I had no idea that this sound was waiting to be release from the x2! All the reviews points at the stereo crossover.
[LG Optimus 2x] ClausG76:
I wasn't aware about theese portable amps, i might be interested if i would gain anything with my easy driven inears. I haven't taken any concern about the crossover, i don't notice it. But I guess it would still be pressent with the amp.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
I've just gone through the review from gms arena and the crossover is only with headset. That confirms what I experience with an amp. Believe me, it sounds really good!
[LG Optimus 2x] ClausG76:
Ok normaly the Xcapes don't need an amp. But that's with ipods and sansa clip's etc. Do you think the amp in the optimus 2 x is a lot less powerfull than mp3 players normaly is. Then i should consider getting an amp maybe the Fiio e5 ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
I havent heard the E5. Its dirt cheap and I bet it sounds like it. The E11 was about 36$ from mp4 nation when I ordred it ....

Edit: from mp4 nation: )
[LG Optimus 2x] ClausG76:
Ok just noticed the e6. An upgrade of e5. The sound quality is said to be good. But not on par wit e11
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
Just one way to find out. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] punyategar:
i find it just a meh. the bass is flat.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
The bass of E11 is very tight and punchy. Guess its the way to go then.
