[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsgrafx09:
Hello all i have a some questions about this rooting and what not.. :)

i have a DInc i have not gotten OTA update yet.. i want GB .. and i really want the new sens.. i think i have read that there really inst much to this new OTA update that is coming out now.. I have not rooted my phone for fear of loosing my extra warranty that i pay for. So what would be better .. root now ... or wait do the OTA and then wait for Devs to come out with new roots and roms?

what is the best sense3.0 rom?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
I would root now. If you take the ota there is no current method to root it and not many people if any at all working on a solution. If you really want sense 3 your going to have to root as the new gb update is still sense 1. As for your warranty there are ways to unroot and go back to stock if you would need to send it in. You will have to wait for someone else to give you a good sense 3 rom as i dont mess with them anymore. They tend to be buggy and have wifi issues as they are ported mostly from sprint phones, and never really ment for our phones.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsgrafx09:
more questions thank you

thats kind of what i figured... :(

i do have verizon. so there is no GOOD sens3.0 rom out there at all? Wifi is important to me .. but not the tethering ( dont need to do that ) MIUI looks really good also would love to try that out..

what is the best Bug free Sens3.0 Rom out there..

and where can i find really good directions on how to do this if i do root..

will i loose all my info if i do.. what programs / aps will i need.. how big of a SD do i need.. or how much room do i need on the phone or SD..

can i back up the phone before i attempt to do all this..

thank you for all you help..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SKA-T:
All the custom roms are going to have bugs of one kind or another. For that matter so do the official ones so that's certainly not a slight on the rom devs here.

You just need to peruse the development forum and find the one's with the features and look you like. Gotta warn you though, once you start flashing roms it gets a bit addictive. I think the longest I've stayed with one is about 2 weeks!! It's always fun checking them out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsgrafx09:
yeah i bet it is addictive.. i love messing with my phone.. i am running 4 different launchers right now.. LPpro - ADWex - Launcher 7 - and the stock Sens :)

really the only reason why i want to root is to get those other UI's.. i wish i didnt have to root to get them..

Try WildStang83 Desire Inc 3D ROM

Is super nice smooth SENSE 3.0

You will like it give it a try:cool:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJGO23:
This is pretty much 100% functional for my use. The only thing that doesn't work is Bluetooth I think. Newt just posted a music fix and wifi works. I think Wildstang fix the sdcard mount issue. If not use the automount app he included.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Do you have an extended warranty, or insurance. If it's insurance, I wouldn't worry about it. I've never sent a phone back for an insurance claim because they always get "lost", "stolen", or "sink to the bottom of a lake", if ya get my drift.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsgrafx09:
hahaha yepp.. that is true..

i have the extra insurance from that one company threw verizon i think .. and i also pay for the extra warranty with best buy.. i think i need to cancel the best buy one though..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsgrafx09:
does it have the cool 3d animation and live wallpapers that come with the new sens3.0
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJGO23:
If by 3D animation you mean when you tilt the phone it "pops out" then yes just enable it under display setting. And I believe the live wallpapers are also included, I hadn't seen them in a 2.1 rom before.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsgrafx09:
well i have seen some videos of the new sens that has live weather annimations for the live wallpaper.. and the other things that the new sens has..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJGO23:
Oh that! Yea it's in there but they seem a little bit choppy. i tried them for like 30 seconds but it could vary for you.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danno700:
Hello all again,

I just flashed Kinged Shooter 2.3 to my Evo 4g, everything seems to work well aside from some seemingly incompatible apps & settings, but I cant seem to get the clock / weather widget to work. It says it is unable to communicate with server or something. I rebooted the device and it worked for maybe a minute then stopped. Its not really a big deal but I personally line the weather clock.

Also, would it be beneficial to flash a different kernel, perhaps one that I can over / underclock? If so, which one would work? Its difficult to find any info on this rom as it seems pretty new. So far I am a fan.

As usual, thanks everyone.

Dan.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaz187:
try to reflash the rom after you wipe, wipe,wipe,and wide again. Then use a super wiper. Some times it takes 2 trys to get a rom to load without any problems.

[Motorola Droid X2] Scur827:
So I almost have this done, but I've got a problem. I can get 3G, but not phone or text. When I call, I'm sent to the American Roaming Network, and when I once got an error about International Data Roaming, I saw Verizon Mobile in the paragraph right before I hit the No button. I've tried out a ton of PRLs, but none get me the phone. I KNOW it's not a typo somewhere. My MIN is correct everywhere. Everyone uses my Google Voice number, and I'm using GooVe IP so I can (usually) get calls, but it's not even close to being the same. Here's what I've done so far...

changed my ESN/MEID on my Cricket account

CDMA Workshop v2.7.0

..successfully sent 000000 SPC

..wrote NVRAM file I got from whiterabbit.org

..wrote PRL 45722 (My Ascend was 45626, but I can't get my hands on that particular PRL, so I've tried several others)

..reset

QPST 2.7 Build 366

..CDMA tab

....changed Directory # and IMSI_S to mynumber

..Roam tab

....changed NAM 1 Directory # to mynumber

....set Preferred Roaming to 45722 PRL

..M.IP tab

....set Active User to 0

....set Mobile IP Behavior to Mob + Simp f/back

....edit User Profile

......set NAI and Tethered NAI to mynumberatmycricketdotcom

......HA and AAA Shared Secrets, checked Enter text string, entered cricket for both

......checked Rev Tunnel Preferred

......entered all zeros in the Home, Primary HA, Secondary HA addresses

..PPP Config tab

....Um

......entered User ID: mynumberatmycricketdotcom, checked Req PW enc, entered cricket

......checked Optimized Domant Handoff and 1xEVDO->1x

....AN

......entered User ID: mynumberatmycricketdotcom, checked Req PW enc, entered cricket

..wrote to phone

created APN shortcut with anycut, went in and entered this...

Name - Cricket

APN - internet

Proxy - wapdotmycricketdotcom:8080

Port 8080

Username - mynumberatmycricketdotcom

Password - cricket

Server - wapdotmycricketdotcom

MMSC - httpcolon//mmsdotmycricketdotcom/servlets/mms

MMS Port - 8080

MCC - 310

MNC - 004

APN type - <Not set>

Any ideas?

(I'm too newb to post outside links, so I had to italicize stuff.)

edit: If it's a PRL issue, I'm Leesburg, VA
[Motorola Droid X2] ferg40:
First idea is to not be cheap and get the network the phone is ment for.
[Motorola Droid X2] Scur827:
Thanks for the advice, but I'll wait for someone who knows proper English.
[Motorola Droid X2] Scur827:
So I guess my main problem was I was using my phone number for my MIN and my MDN, though on my old phone these were different numbers. Also, this is a dual band phone, and Cricket in my area is triband. I'm probably going to have to find another route altogether.
[Atrix 4G General] jzaslice:
By default, you are not able to set a Security lock timer when your method of unlocking is the Fingerprint sensor.

This little trick will allow you to set a specific time until you need to swipe finger or enter PIN/pattern to unlock the screen when unlock type is Fingerprint scanner.

Requirements

Must be ROOTED!

SQLite Editor (Market Link)

If you have SQLite Editor, you also probably have Root Explorer. You can navigate using Root Explorer if you want.
​

Instructions

Launch SQLite Editor , let it load all databases.

Navigate to Settings Storage (The one with the

small tools icon

)

If using Root Explorer, direct to /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Tap through Settings Storage>settings.db>>settings

Once in settings database scroll down to 'lock_timer' (Value should be set to -1)

Tap and hold ' -1 ' > select

edit field

.

Enter desired value (20, 15, 10, 5, 3, 2, 1 minutes) in MILLISECONDS (5 Minutes=300000)

Reboot...

​

DONE!​

Go ahead and leave some feedback if this did or didnt work for you :)
[Atrix 4G General] georgemurango:
Near as I can tell, this doesn't do anything for me.
[Atrix 4G General] BlackX777:
You should try it before write it.
[Atrix 4G General] jzaslice:
Honestly think I didn't test it out before I posted? I'm using my fingerprint scanner with a 5 minute delay by doing exactly what I posted. After a reboot go check the database again and make sure that lock_timer is saved as the value you set.
[Atrix 4G General] Semseddin:
Cool stuff, we needed this :)
[Atrix 4G General] jzaslice:
Just noticed sqlite shows Settings Storage twice, be sure to pick the (second one with the tools icon) directory com.motorola.android.providers.settings

are you able to try this out? If so Did it work for you?
[Atrix 4G General] ECdOc:
Don't see any change in my lockscreen behavior, maybe because of widgetlocker?
[Atrix 4G General] yeahmann:
Doesn't work. The value for the security lock changes but it isn't obeyed.
[Atrix 4G General] jzaslice:
Hmm havent really used widgetlocker. not sure what kind of settings it may mess with...perhaps it is.

Well i just spent the past 30 minutes using the lock screen every which way to see why or how some of you guys cant get this...i doubt the trick would be rom specific. ill test it out on my gfs atrix which is running Kens GB beta.

but for now if you dont mind testing it out some more try deleting the following databases.

'lock_type'

'lock_fingerprint'

'lock_timer'

and reboot. then set up your secuity settings like normal (may have to redo fingerprints) and then follow the steps above.

Usually i clear those after a rom flash and i decided to play with them this time and thats how i came across this little trick that allows me to put a timer while using the finger scanner.

now when its within the time limit all i have to do is slide to unlock.
[Atrix 4G General] jzaslice:


just tested on another atrix with kens GB beta. Successfully applied lock timer with fingerprint scanner. No need to delete databases. not sure why some of you are having a hard time getting this right.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenvandy:
Ok, so I have a my touch 3G slide. I bought my first one a year ago and it just had to be sent back for a hardware issue. I rooted it and LOVED it. So I get my new phone and root it. Difference is, it came with the new froyo, so it has not cooperated like the first phone. Here is my issue. I know it's rooted, but for the life of me I can't install a new rom! I tried rom mananger and it's like a dead fish. I can download a rom, but nothing happens when I try to install it. If I try from recovery, I get error messages. Like it won't read the zip files on my sd card. oh, and what happened to apps2sd??? I can't even find it in market now. Is my sd card bad? Do I need to unlock boot loader? Is it because I rooted with froyo? I even tried to unroot and i get the same error message. Something about image not found??? Pleased help! I've been searching for hours and have gotten no where.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanityrains:
I believe that you are not rooted. You can't root a MT3GS with froyo on it. You have to downgrade to 2.1 for it to be successful. Also apps2sd is not on the market because most devs don't agree with theirs apps being moved to the sd card so it became virtually useless. You could try the easiest thing which is to get the stock 2.1 rom and just flash it with recovery. Remember to put it on the root of the sd card or it wont be found.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammerfest:
Literally as the title says...

I use/test/take advantage of the nightly builds for CyanogenMod ClockWorkMod (now on 4.0.1.5) for my HTC Hero and did as well for my HTC HD2, however I cannot seem to find any for the Transformer! :(

I know for some the backup/recovery doesnt work, but thats what Nightly's are for, to TEST these things... well on the flip side, ill admit i dont use backup/recovery but I do utilize the new package structure for zip package install's...

BUT still, does anyone maintain a DropBox or personal FTP for CM CWM Nightly builds? (the HD2 has a nightly build repo, and the Hero has a personal nightly FTP repo)

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icarusjun:
My Galaxy Tab when connected to PC via Samsung KIES runs fine... but when I connect it as Mass Storage, it doesn't show up in My Computer... I even tried re-flashing the TAB again to overcome kratos and the default stock rom... to no avail... need help...

To make things a bit clearer, here's the setup...

USB Debugging set to OFF / PC running Windows 7

USB Settings set to SAMSUNG KIES

PC detects the TAB as GT-P1000 and I can access the internal storage... though a tad bit slow when transferring data & stuff...

USB Settings set to MASS STORAGE

PC detects the TAB -> TAB displays USB Connected -> press CONNECT USB STORAGE

PC detects TAB as Android UMS Composite USB Device -> note without drive letter

After sometime, I've finally found the culprit... here's my solution:

#1 - Set USB Settings to MASS STORAGE -> Connect TAB -> PC detects TAB but doesn't show TAB as USB Device

#2 - run the program diskmgmt.msc via Windows Start Button->Run->diskmgmt.msc

#3 - Disk Management loads all detected hard drives & USB media... saw my TAB's icon without the drive letter... (it seems Win7 had a hard time assigning one, maybe because I've got lots of USB drives)

#4 - Right-click on the TAB's icon and on the context menu choose -> Change Drive Letter and Paths...

#5 - Simply assign a drive letter and voila! Your TAB's detected again as USB Mass Storage

[Nexus S Android Development] Ezekeel:
Older types of rechargable batteries exhibited a 'memory effect' which made it neccessary to completely charge/discharge the battery when using to prevent degradation of the capacity. Modern Lithium-Ion batteries like in the Nexus S do not show this problem and thus it is not necessary to use the battery in complete (dis)charge cycles. In fact on the contrary, it is commonly accepted that both very low and very high charge states accelerate the degradation of the battery capacity (that is why you should store Li-Ion batteries at around 40% charge).

While a low charge state can be simply avoided by charging the device more often, the battery in the Nexus S by default is charged to around 95% capacity and I could not find any app or tweak to stop the charging at a lower capacity. Thus the only way was to use the manual override and pull the cable which is annoying since one had to monitor the charge state.

So I implemented a simple tweak I called Battery Life eXtender (BLX) which can be used to set a limit for the capacity to which the battery will be charged by passing a value between 0 and 101 to 'charging_limit' in '/sys/class/misc/batterylifeextender' (101 by default).

Changes to the source code: http://www.pastie.org/2516542

BUGFIX:

The battery status is set to 'full' once the user defined charging limit is reached.

Bug fix: http://www.pastie.org/2534319

BUGFIX #2:

The charging limit is set to 96 by default which will mimic the behaviour of the stock kernel. Also, the maximum value accepted by 'charging_limit' is set to 96.

Bug fix: http://www.pastie.org/2560599

BUGFIX #3:

1. Made BLX compatible with the 100% charging 'fix'.

2. If the charging limit is set to the maximum charging limit, charging will not be stopped until the interrupt signal is received from the MAX8998 chip.

Bugfix: http://www.pastie.org/2751140

No further patches will be published here. I have set up a git repo for all my tweaks. Each mod has its own branch to keep the tweaks cleanly separated and one can simply pull the latest patches from the corresponding branch.

[Nexus S Android Development] king23adrianc:
Can't wait for Trinity to include this!
[Nexus S Android Development] simms22:
i charge my ns to 100% all the time, i wish that i could charge it even more. lol!
[Nexus S Android Development] window7:
Wow! I am waiting for this for long time!
[Nexus S Android Development] Ezekeel:
Yeah, the drawback of course is the shorter battery runtime. If even a fully charged battery still is not enough for you to get over the day, this tweak is not for you. However, I mostly use the Nexus for internet, email and music and for me a fully charged battery last for about 3 days. So in my case when setting the charging limit to let's say 80% that is still plenty of reserves.

Before I wrote this tweak I thought about if it actually makes sense to try and prolong the lifetime of these batteries because they can be easily replaced and are also pretty cheap. However it seemed like a good idea purely from an environmental point of view (even if there is no climate change like Rick PArry totally has convinced me).
[Nexus S Android Development] simms22:
i thought about the need to prolong the batterys life too. i thought about how long id be using my phone as a primary device before i get a new one vs the actual life of the battery. i figured id replace the phone before the battery actually died. of course, there is that odd random chance that the battery will die much quicker than expected. my original g1 battery from 2008 is still good, and i abused that phone for a long time. but, there is something else that i didnt think about. there are lots of people in the world that are less fortunate than i am. and they need their devices to last them as long as the devices can because they cant afford getting new ones. and that includes the battery too. they would appreciate something like this. of course, there is that envirenmental thing that you touched upon. less crap destroying our wonderful planet :)
