[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] alssarem:
Since some days and i 'm downloading ROMS EU or others.

I become very confused as i'm looking for ROM that can flashed easy way as attached here that 1st snap-shot shows that after extracting ROM downloaded that there is no file DFA.EXE to run but instead of that all there are folders.

although installation instructions said that run DFA.EXE.

I did not see that file except in one and old version.

I need to have newest version.

Here i flashed my HD2 within 10 minutes and it was very good exp to this transform to android and no more windows!!!!

Guys,

How can i have a flash that contain DFA.EXE and it does not rely on SD

I downloaded 3 ROMS but all of them are folders with no DFA.EXE is there some ways that to know if ROM file has a DFA.EXE file instead of downloading and waste my time as my connection is little bit slow!!!!.

My HD version is MIDDLE EAST
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonas2295:
The rom you opened in second Screenshot doesn't use dark forces flasher.

You will have to flash a recovery (clockwork mod). And flash the rom via clockwork mod.

It makes flashing much easier and you can make backups etc.

For tutorial see the android nand section -> roll up sticky.

Look out for how to flash your first rom and clockwork mod.

Hope that helps you :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Did you miss the bit where he says he wants one that doesn't rely on SD card? :)

@OP No there are very few roms that use daf.exe, nearly all use cwm and SD card.

You could learn how to load a cwm rom into the android sdk on the PC, then dump the system and boot folder to images and replace the system and boot images in the old daf rom folder, remembering to adjust flash.cfg partition size for the new system size.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonas2295:
Oh yes but he maybe he will notice that cwm is a very useful flasher etc. :)

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] merman123:
Hello everyone ! I have a pretty general question for you guys. Should I buy the sidekick 4G ?*

Here's the story:

I'm switching carriers (MetroPCS>T-Mobile). So I am planning to get tmobile prepaid $50 a month. This means I have to purchase the phone for 299 instead of the 79 with a 2 year agreement. I don't so much mind spending that amount of money if the phone is worth it ( although that is as much as I'd pay for a phone) .*

does the phone live up to what it claims to do ? I just need it to do what it claims to do , right. *

I just want to hear what you guys think since you own the phone !

Thank you in advance ! :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mjybarr:
Its an okay device. It just has to much going on for me to like it, as I'm talking about the user interface. The specs are decent, but with all these dual core processors out there, this phone really can't match them. The only pro to the phone is it does have a nice keyboard...if your into physical keyboard phones. There's my two cents haha..

Pure meXdroidMod!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] troby86:
No....if you don't mind spending a little more, you should get the HTC Sensation.

The only thing the Sidekick 4G has going for it is the keyboard...that's all.

The HTC Sensation destroys it in all other aspects.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
The sidekick has a longer battery life than the g2x n most likely the sensation (19 days)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] merman123:
Thanks for the replies !

My only worry is that the phone is laggy when using normal operations such as texting, phone dialing, occasional web browsing. I don't plan on using the device for anything 'heavier' than that, I have an iPad and an iPod touch that I can use for heavier operations at home . I just want a reliable phone :)

What are your experiences on normal day to day use ? In terms of OS functionality and 'smoothness'.

Ps. Woah the sensation is very expensive haha I'm afraid it's out of my price range.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LostInNorth805:
This phone is not that bad, if your just a standard user for texting and web surfing with a qwerty keyboard too then I say get it. So far I haven't much down fall with this phone since I rooted and added gingerclone update2 asop. And since this my 2 android phone coming from mytouch 3g its a big difference. Hope this help with your phone shopping.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] chaostic_2k1:
It's a nice phone, once you get a few things changed (imho). Don't expect much sk4g specific mods to it though, what you get is basically what you have to stick with, unlike some other android phones with alot more dev love.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Brundonm:
I send 20000 texts a month I use 6gigs of my data I love this phone I've flashed the roms and gingerclone v2 is the best and fastestthe messaging app in it has the option to press enter and reply and press the back button to the web page I'm surfing and it works great I love the keyboard at first you won't but after an hour of using it it is amazing
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] merman123:
So I went with the sidekick and I'm liking everything on it :) until today.... :\ I started experienced the whole freezing issue on the phone. The touch screen locks up and the only way to use it is by either turning it off and back on or by moving with the optical trackball.

I have been reading around that the update that tmobile released is what caused these problems on the sidekick, what a shame. I checked my firmware version and it matches that of the newest update.

Which brings me to two questions;

1) can I flash the original firmware provided in these forums, in order to 'revert' or 'downgrade' ? Is the firmware universal that it would work on any sidekick ?

And

2) how do I flash recovery mod ? I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the tutorial on how to do it from these forums . Everytime I boot into recovery I have the original recovery by android (I think) pressing 'reinstall packages' (can't quite remember the exact name but its the only option that sounds like that) is the only way to load up clockwork mod. I don't want to use clockwork like that because I feel that it is a light flash on my phone and id like to be able to boot directly into it.

Anyways I know the post might be long but I hope I get some responses once again to get this resolved ! Its a shame really that the update bugged the phone, because the phone is superb when its working fine.

Thanks again !

As for the recovery question, the fake flash CWM (what you have) is just fine, and works the same way as a normal CWM that's built into the kernel (boots straight into it). If you reallly want a built in CWM, you could flash the Bali kernel, which has CWM built in, otherwise just use fake flash.

Hi guys,

I'm curious why I cannot download any files from Internet on my S2 using the default browser. I tried a .zip and .rpm file link, both don't work. Is there a specific file restriction, or did I missed some setting? I'm trying to determine the real HSPA+ speed I get on Bell network and I think the best way is to simply download a 1MB file.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TECK:
Heh, you're a funny guy. :)

Whoever wonders what file types are handled by Android, here it is an example:

Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="filename.{ZIP,PDF}"

Yes, the filename is case sensitive. Android does not use file extensions, so you need to supply an appropriate MIME type in your HTTP responses.

As a side note, I thought XDA is a developer forum where questions like the ones I asked are something normal.

I really have no idea what is so hard to understand what I asked.

For the Nth time, I wanted to know "WHY" I cannot make the Android browser download a .zip file (for example).

All you have to do is send the proper headers to your Android browser (that is the WHY part), it will work. I can upload a zip archive to one of my servers and create a php file with a header like that:

$file = 'mytestfile';
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $file . '.ZIP"');

I don't CARE there are programs, patches or dancing cowboys that can enable file downloads into my phone. :D

I tried the first one which consists in installing z4root but this one does not work anymore.

Is there any good working method ? I really need to be root to install new roms and/or overclock.

So can u help me to take my decision
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vipfreak:
I have a Flyer and a Transformer. I feel a bit stuck with both...

Flyer pros: 7in size, good batt life, scribe pen.

Flyer cons: Micro sd card access blows, could be a bit bulky to some, screen small for video next to a 10 in.

Transformer pro: Like a Netbook, but without the fail of windo$e, doesn't get hot like a pc because all the parts are in screen, many features any other tablet won't have, sd car slot, keyboard w/batt built-in, Big screen for video, up to 16 hr batt life.

Transformer cons: software from Asus blows namely the browser, bulky with keyboard, charger cord short.

It's up to you what works best. If the flyer had an sd card slot iwould probaby have sold my tf.

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

Any Android device that does not have a phone function is going to be missing Market apps that have phone features. The intent is to prevent people from installing apps with "broken" features (features that don't work on their device). I haven't found compatibility to be much of a problem. Only a couple apps I typically use on my phone, are missing for the Flyer, and there have been other comparable apps.
