[Nook Color General] hikersc:
I have CM7 on an SD card and tried this command. I get the following:

mount: not found

Any suggestions?
[Nook Color General] Sm0lders:
I tried this command and I am not sure I am putting it in right. I do not a space "remount/system" and a bunch of commands come up. I do use a space and nothing. Either way, I am unable to edit or copy a new file in. Copy failed or cannot save file.

Do I have to copy from within the Terminal window? After running this command I go into ES file explorer to edit or copy with no luck.
[Nook Color General] ajhaddy:
<Set DPI to 160>

There is an app called LCDDensity which allows you to alter the DPI on the nook. If the market allows you to download it, or you are able to sideload it, you might try that.

What happens for me is my market will stop working, then I use LCDDensity to set the DPI to 160 or 240, and reboot. Then the market works, but only for a day or two, and then things seem to reset. (I have tried freezing and renaming the market app, and market updater app, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Then again I'm new to these things myself, and could be missing something silly.)

It isn't an ideal solution, but it seems fine unti a more permanent fix comes along.
[Motorola Photon 4G] farookh:
No more waiting for 2-3 mins on every boot or getting wi-fi errors for international users.

This will only stop handfree activation all other services will be active including the lock screen.

Just delete these 2 files from system/app folder using rootexplorer after rooting.

SprintOMADMConnMOPlugin.apk

SprintOMADMConnMoPlugin.odex

Let me know if u have ne problems.

UPDATE

Ok a little update got a better way of doing this for GSM users, no deleting ne files but requires you to have your six digit SPC/MSL code.

Get hold of cdmaworkshop 2.7

Boot Photon into BP Tools mode.

after connection to correct port in cdmaworkshop.

Other Menu

R-UIM menu

set this option to R-UIM only.

Write reboot and your good to go.

Just an update for everyone who has applied this. I tried to update OTA today to the latest version and I got the error as described in this post:

Need to find these files somehow to apply the updates.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
I did very easy thing, since i tired to wait sprint activating. Root your device, go to /system/app/ and delete all files that are starting with sprint****. Reboot after that. You ll see how quickly your phone will work at all!

Regards
[Motorola Photon 4G] Suroky:
I would suggest not to delete the files, but rename them instead. Adding a .bak or .save is ok. This way, when an android update comes, you will not run into problems cause the installer can't find the stock distribution as it is supposed to be. Before the update, just return the files to their original names and the update should go smooth.

what is the "lock screen" ?

What is the "lock screen" on Suroky's post ?

I am trying to "unlock" the photon so that I can use it with other GSM telecom carrier such as fido in Canada . Is there any instruction on how to unlock the photon ? Will this "skip sprint activation easy way" unlock it ?

Also , I cannot delete the 2 files

SprintOMADMConnMoPlugin.apk

SprintOMADMConnMoPlugin.odex

I am on adb shell , and when do

rm SprintOMADMConnMoPlugin.apk

rm SprintOMADMConnMoPlugin.odex

it is they are read-only , what should i do ?

I used the photon-torpedo.tar to root the phone .

I am a new to all this android hacking things. Please help.

[Motorola Photon 4G] archat68:
I recently bought a Photon from a member here. I'm in India and I'll use the GSM network only. But after switching on the photon displays "contacting network" for a long time and finally shows "Handsfree activation failed", by pressing OK, the loop continues and I can't get into the home screen to enable usb debugging or use root explorer.

I used Farookh's method on another Photon and that worked. In fact in that phone it automatically asks Sprint network unavailable, switch to GSM after some time.

Please help....

EDIT ____________

Solved the problem by flashing stock ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] iLLa:
my old phone had this problem. it was due to poor signal. i no longer have these issues with this phone. matter of fact, i get signal in places where no one gets signal. its amazing. u may want to update PRL. Settings>About Phone>System Updates>Update PRL

also as someone else stated, i wouldnt delete them files just rename them and add .bak to end.

[Motorola Photon 4G] theboydetective:
To say I'm new to Android would be an understatement, but I found myself here after winning a Photon. I'm located in Canada, so need to bypass the Sprint Activation, but I'm stuck because I do need the hand-holding full walkthrough and can't quite find what to do...

I've got the phone rooted (which was remarkably easy, by the way) and now I need to "Boot Photon into Boot Tools mode" before using CDMA Workshop and can't seem to find out how to do it.

Can someone treat me like the idiot I am and spell it out for me...

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] theboydetective:
And apparently after digging about for quite a bit, I'm not rooted at all and therein lies the problem. I'll go through everything again and update...

UPDATE:

Went through entire process again and it rooted without any issues and I went with the original method of renaming the two files. And everything works AWESOME. This is great - I could never have done this by myself and I really, really appreciate the help from the people who set this up.

[Motorola Photon 4G] drpratik:
i did as per your advice it worked.

now only thing is when we restart it says activating for sometime.

also off topic,

it does say other cdma,does it mean we can put our tata indicom cdma sim card ?

will it work?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Chris300HP:
You will first have to do the wi-fi workaround. When you get wi-fi, and cellphone service working at the same time, try downloading the tweakker app from android market and select your carrier, and it will configure apn and mms settings (data reception service). You'll have to activate the feature that says, enable data reception through gsm networks to do this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] diogo_toscano:
Use "File Manager" from Rhythm Software, Its a root file manager, just go in the options and setup.

After renaming the files, do the wifi workaround, open the market and install the application "tweakker", this application will set up your vpn, sms, mms settings. After using the tweakker, my 3g, gprs and edge services are working now... sweet.

[Motorola Photon 4G] deepak251146:
Hey bro you cannot activate your phone whatever you try without having your Sprint phone number.i am having the same problem.so in order to skip sprint activation you have to be rooted and then delete or rename the sprint activation files.but 3g is working without no problem with voice and data both.

Just to easily skip the activation process on startup.just make the phone in airplane mode each time when rebooting.it will just end soon saying "your phone couldnot be activated in offline mode" then just disable airplane mode.

I am using my photon with bsnl,airtel on 3g tested working perfect.
[Motorola Photon 4G] spykedvodka:
Ok, I got a problem....

I did exactly what this post said, and it works fine. This is the only mod I have done to my device (besides the root) and when the device starts now it hangs. It loads up to the initializing system part and its stuck frozen there. I have to put it in Airplane mode and only then will it reboot.

How can we fix it?

[LG Optimus 2x] BEC0MM:
(beware, noob here :o)

So, I've decided to flash CM7 nightly #127 (which seems to be the latest build) to my O2X...

I am completely new to this, so I am going to follow this tutorial: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/LG_Optimus_2X:_Full_Update_Guide

As of now, I've successfully rooted my device using SuperOneClick (so much easier than the method described in CM tutorial), and I made some backups with Titanium Backup.

On the forums here I read you need to also use NVFlash... That it is better that Rom Manager.... But there is no mentions of it in the official CM tutorial... All I found was this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054492 but I'm not sure of what it does, and if it is necessary to use it when flashing CM...

So, what should I do? I already installed ROM Manager and flashed the recovery thingy... All I need is a external sd card (which I going to get today) to make the Nandroid backup, copy the CM zip on it and Flash it...

Is this procedure risky? Do I absolutely need to do it with NVFlash? Is it ok to do this as I already set up Rom Manager?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!!
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
NVflash is not necessary, in fact not even needed. Just need the cm7 zip file which needs to be renamed to 'update.zip' and put it in the root of the sd card. I think it's possible to flash using the internal sd card but I'm not sure. Once you flash that, you should flash the gapps file using 'install zip from sd card' using clockworkmod. Both of these flashing methods using CWM. I didn't use ROM manager, I just booted into CWM recovery and then flashed it. ALWAYS make a full rom backup before flashing and you should be safe and yes it's very safe.
[LG Optimus 2x] lintz:
Nv-flash is only needed when you have to restore your phone from some thing close to a absolute brick (when you have flashed some thing wrong or done some thing really bad, and it don't start by any means). That's when nv-flash is used to restore it as an last option. When nothing else works then you use it.

The metod described in the update guide is more advanced and yea its a bit of pain. But at the same time you do gain some practice on things that might be needed to do later in case you have problem with your phones. Things that people here on this forum almost assume that you know how to do. Also it works on all current known firmware for LGO2X. At least follow the steps until you have the adb set up. It might save you the frustration when you sit there and have problem with the phone.

Flashing is easier and faster with the rom manager app. Just remember to move your backups from titanium to the external sd as well. You don't want to lose those backups, right?

Last but not least.

Welcome to the living hell of always flashing the latest firmwares =D

And constant hunt for the highest ver numbers!

PS: Its safe as long as you remember "BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP"
[LG Optimus 2x] BEC0MM:
Thanks for the replies :)

I have now successfully flashed the latest CM nightly build !!! And it rocks !!! I can't believe how sluggish my phone was with the official firmware... It is just crazy...

I had a few issues though:

- When I flashed CM (after data/cache wipe / factory reset), I couldn't find anything on my external SD card... To access the CM zip, I had to navigate to the internal SD card, and there I had a "_ExternalSD" folder... a bit weird...

- I exported all my contacts' numbers on the SIM card before flashing, but CM did not find anything... Hopefully I had a backup on my desktop, and had to manually re create all contacts (good thing I don't have too many...)

- I flashed the latest google App from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Google_Apps but the Market is the old version (2.x)

Other than that, I am now a happy CM user... No way I go back to official LG bloatwares!!! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
You can flash (with CWM recovery same procedure that you used to flash CM7) latest Market from here:http://www.mediafire.com/temasek (Go to Misc Folder)

Temasek is a very active guy and has many goodies to share !
[LG Optimus 2x] BEC0MM:
Thanks a lot for the tip :)

Should I uninstall (somehow) my previous Google apps, or can I just flash the new version on top of the old?
[LG Optimus 2x] BEC0MM:
I just saw that a new CyanogenMod nightly build has been released (#146) and I'm eager to update (from #127).

But I am wondering if I need to go through the whole process again (Nandroid backup, clear data/cache, wipe, flash CM, flash google apps)...

Or can I just go to recovery mode (from Rom manager) and flash the latest CM build??

Thanks in advance for your answer!! :o
[LG Optimus 2x] wewoapsiak:
NVFlash is used kinda like fastboot for our device (Cyanogen said so in the RC1 forum), a just in case scenario. As if in rom manager gives you an endless bootloop and you can't boot into recovery mode. You can use the NVFlash CWM or rom manager, I actually never use rom manager; I just uninstall it.

As far as the CM Wiki goes, I'm trying to change it to include NVFlash but the wiki people are a bit strict on what gets linked to what...
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yep, that's all you need to do.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] AdamNJ77:
I am now using Camera360 and I just have to say the quality of the pictures is worlds better then the Motorola app. The colors are more accurate and not washed out, and the focus is quicker. All in all the pictures I am getting with Camera360 are on par with my Panasonic Lumix camera, and the ones with the Motorola app (well they kind of sucked). But anyway, Camera360 was the best 3.99 (or 2.99 I forget) I ever spent. For anyone complaining about the Motorola camera, PLEASE give Camera360 a shot. The program doesn't use all of the screen because it is not qhd compatible yet, but the finished photo is still worth it. MUCH better ;)
