Q&A​

Question: "I can't see/find/locate files on my SD Card"

Answer: When browsing through the files on your phone, your actual SD Card is a folder named "SDCard-Ext". The folder named SD Card is the "built in" storage on the Bionic. So when looking for say your nandroid backup it will be located in /sdcard-ext/clockworkmod/backup/

NONE OF THE ABOVE IS MY WORK JUST TRYING TO PROVIDE A SINGLE LOCATION WITH LINKS FOR NEW BIONICS TRYING TO FIND THEIR WAY. OF COURSE EVERYTHING YOU DO IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

[EVO 4G General] ctzw:
I find power button is extensively used during EVO operation. Each time I want to check the the screen, or after making a call, I have a press that small tiny little power button to light up the screen. I am not sure whether this button is the weakest part of EVO.

Are there any tricks to save the use of this button?
[EVO 4G General] rushco:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/a-concerning-amount-of-evo-users-report-power-button-crack/

No crack here so looks like they fixed it.

For tricks. Get an app that will turn the screen off. Change the setting to keep the screen on longer so if you are reading something it won't turn off. Have someone call you so the screen turns on and you don't have to use the power button.

Might be a way to use the volume rocker to turn the screen on. Have not looked into that since I am not concerned about my power key not working.
[EVO 4G General] Steven 1:
Aosp roms have configurations that allow you to turn the screen on and off without using the power button. Plus theirs an app in the market called screen locker that allows you to shut the screen with the "search" soft key

[T-Mobile LG G2x] dcmp10015:
I need to revert my G2X from Gingerbread back to Froyo due to the newer OS making my camera worthless. My problem is twofold:

A: I am very tech development unsavvy, and

B: I don't want to root my phone, as this will void the warranty.

I've seen a few options around the forums, but don't completely understand the tech language, and I am unsure how invasive the software changes will be.

Any takers out there who can clear this up for me and walk me through the process?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
You can always unroot your phone by using clock work recovery to restore to stock and then use nv flash to flash the stock recovery and then your back to how you bought the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
You don't have to go back to froyo they successfully ported the stock LG camera to gingerbread and you don't even have to be rooted to do it. You do have to use nvflash to install clockworkmod. It is so easy even I did it and I am new to android. As far as I know it Wil not void your warenty plus even if you have to send it back you can use clock work mod to flash stock recovory. That is your best bet. If you WAnt help just pm me and I will guide you through.

[Motorola Droid X2] xkape:
We have Eclipse... which is one man deving 3 phones and doing the work of a team (in CM). Personally, I like what I have. BUT.. Ive never ran CM on any phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
To be honest... CM7 has been a pain for everyone. Me especially. I'm pretty much on my own when it comes to dev'ing for this thing and it takes a team to get around it (usually). I'm slowly working out the kinks, but i'm at the point where if something goes wrong, it's impossible to tell where.
[Motorola Droid X2] SwiftLegend:
I'm actually doing that :) My aunt just got me one for a late birthday gift lol. Just using it until the Prime and Vigor come out..

@ashclepdia, probably shouldn't open my big mouth, but if my dad doesn't want it (trying to sell it to him for money for the prime ) then I'd be willing to sell it for a dev..or maybe just donate it. I could really use the money though..

EDIT: 2 seconds after typing this, I saw the Galaxy S 2 commercial...almost messed up my new boxers :(
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
I can see ppl being frustrated, but THINGS will get better for us. We have like 3 developers. Eclipse is a very good and stable rom, and Nitro is porting the Atrix for us. Soon, the CM7 could be on our phones. Ive never had an android phone prior to getting the x2, so I have no clue what the benefit of CM7 is other than the popular vote.

Going off of looks, MuffStuff has great themes for our phone and a couple other themers are doing good as well. We dont have a huge dev pool or user pool compared to the other phones. Most original X users are either still on the X or about to upgrade to another phone. Most of us don't have the income to grab every phone that pops out. Im no dev, but I know a good deal about the process on how it works. This phone seems like it has no dev work or progress, but the fact is, we have 3 active developers(sorry if there are others that Im not aware of) that have jobs, lives, and other stuff they need to take care of.

Im patiently awaiting for the hard work Nitro has put into our phone for getting the atrix to port to our phone. We have the most CURRENT firmware available thanks to him porting the Atrix. He has made us a complete AOSP rom(eclipse) and TheMuffStuff has made SUPERB themes for it. Don't be frustrated or depressed because we dont have CM7 or anything else for that matter.

If I'm not mistaken, with us having the Atrix port, Nitro can eventually get 90+ % of the Atrix to us on our phones. Once that is achieved, getting CM7 should be NO hassle watsoever d/t it being available on the Atrix.

Please everyone quit flaming and quit the bickering about not having this or that and be thankful for what you do have. (sorry for not knowing your SN)the guy that made the roadrunner scripts got flamed, spit up, and chewed out and I think he made a bunch of VERY good scripts for bootup. I was getting ~14 hours of battery life with GPS on, and I was actively texting, calling, and facebooking throughout the battery life when i was only getting ~6 hours of life before that. So, with how things are NOW. I am happy. Do I want more? Yes! things will get better for us and quit complaining. CM7 may be the popular vote, but who knows what some1 could do for us? Nitro and the others could team up and make something even better!!!

lol sorry for not knowing everyone's SN, but Nitro and Muff are the ones sticking out atm. Dev's keep up the good work and be creative with our phone. Dont listen to the nonsense of those unappreciative. Bionic and others may have CM7, but we have you guys. Keep it up.
[Motorola Droid X2] xkape:
2 things.. 1st, hey now, my themes dont suck...lol

2nd, naven is porting Atrix, not Nitro

PLease keep in mind I have a high sense of humor and take things with a grain of salt. I know you didnt say my themes sucked.
[Motorola Droid X2] hackthis02:
I didn't mean to start a ruckus. Eclipse is an amazing ROM, and naven is killing it! Thanks to his work. We basically have not only our devs, but we get all the Atrix devs as well.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Jt1134 had to do the same thing to bring cm7 to the fascinate. It was a one -man show until most everything was working & then the cyanogenmod merged it in. It took quite a while though & is still a work in progress.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
Sorry for the references.. xkape i stated that we had several themers and developers that were doing a good job, muff just sticks out because i use his :P lol but i thought bout doing urs, but u dont have it on the Atrix Port.

Appologies again for given credit to nitro on the port. Your Right about naven. But the point was that we have several developers working hard and that we shouldnt overlook their work. Our goals with the x2 shouldnt be just "get cm7" ... it should be to better that.
[Motorola Droid X2] stick1300:
I, honestly, don't get all the hype over CM. I've checked their website and, yeah, it's got some nifty features, but I didn't see anything that I was dying to have. I'm sure it's great (or else it wouldn't have the cult-like following), but I'm totally happy with Eclipse. I guess some people just always want more...
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
I ran CM7 on my Fascinate (thx to JT) and let me be honest, once you go CM7 you will NEVER go back. The customization and response is what these phones should be about. I could give you quadrant scores but they literally mean nothing when using CM7 b/c you know how kick a$$ amazing it is.

@dragonzkiller I'm no dev, but I'm willing to help in any way you may need me. I'm not afraid to brick my phone. ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
lol not true I've went CM7 and i left it !
[Motorola Droid X2] ericerk:
Mee Too, But compared to that "Blur" Stuff... CM7 = HOLY GRAIL!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
I'm one of those people that like blur lol I don't see why people hate it so much its not bad at all the blur we have now is a big step from what they used to have.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
I agree. Blur is better than touchwiz & at least nothing had to be d-Binged. I had cm7 & miui on my fascinate as well & left it because of some persistent bugs with phantom ringing & call volume. I'm more excited about the ATRIX ports atm.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
Never had any issue with phantom rings. I read of people complaining about it, but no issue here. The call volume was low, but it was no deal breaker for me, and of course cm7 isn't for everyone. A lot people still like mfg garbage (i.e blur, tw, sense) cluttering their phone...I can't stand it. If you want speed, performance, and customization then cm7 is where it's at, imho. I'm also not making light of what Nitro has done with Eclipse on a stock kernel and locked bootloader. I LOVE Eclipse v6 and really look forward to further dev of his blurless ROM.
[Motorola Droid X2] rp076:
+1 don't really hate blur, just rather have it very minimal
[Motorola Droid X2] quadjacks:
DX2 was skipped by all the devs! So sad, a really awesome phone!
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
Don't say that it was "skipped" by the devs. It's not that we've skipped it, it's just that this phone has caused more problems than solutions in many ways. I guarantee you that if the bootloader was unlocked that we could have CM7 or any ROM/Kernel setup we wanted damn near whenever we wanted. e.g. we could have CM7 by the weekend. Plain and simple.

I've been talking with naven and our problem stems from the fact we have to keep our stock kernel happy, while trying to keep the OS running. This is where 2nd-init comes in so we can start up our OS's requirements. But we still need to keep the kernel happy. The questions arise when you need to pull out the junk from stock (while making the phone run) and inserting the new code for your ROM's OS. Sometimes they can conflict, so we're pretty stuck right now because we can't really figure out what goes where for both of them.

So please, never say we aren't working on it, or that the phone has been skipped. We (the devs) have a lot of work to do to "unlock" (pardon the pun) the full potential of this phone. We appreciate the help and the amazing community we're building up, but this phone will take time.
[Motorola Droid X2] huskerstylee:
Obv dont know any of you devs personally, but from all that I've learned and read here in the short time I've had this phone, seems like you guys put in a TON of time and effort trying to get these phones to where they should have been originally, and optimizing what they are capable of.

Very pleased with what we have so far (even if the Bionic news is a punch in the kidneys...) Many thanks! :D

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nuprotocol:
I didn't think I had a need for a tablet but jumped in during the HP Firesale. I then saw how convenient a tablet could be, and how it could be very useful. I just didn't want to spend the money to get one I really liked.

After using WebOS, which was a pretty good experience, it just left me wanting more. I was torn between the TF and the GT, but I decided to go with the GT and pleased that I have.

Are any of you new GT owners because of the Touchpad or wanting a better experience coming from a different Tablet?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Croak:
I can say owning a 10.1, and then buying a TouchPad, the 10.1 was the reason I got rid of the bulbous brick of failure two days after I bought it. :)

Of all the things I use my 10.1 for (and there are many), the Touchpad was only good as a sub-par browser, a similar email machine, a lesser calender, and simply couldn't do a lot of other things (like let me read my own .epub files, or play movies, or..).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
^^^^^

This.

I bought it for $299 when Staples had a coupon running concurently with HP. They killed it a week later and I returned it. It could have been great if HP continued to evolve it but frozen in time as-is it's pretty crude. Like OP, it got me in to tablets and I bought a G-Tab. I have a Wi-Fi right now but have a 3G coming from the UK at the end of the month. Based on my experience with the SGS2 I know Samsung will continue to take care of existing owners and they do a great job with software as you can see by how much better the G-Tab handles video compared to other tablets.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nuprotocol:
Exactly..! It was a so so email tablet, and ok browser, I'm doing so much more with the GT. Thanks for responding.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mickey78:
I was not attracted to tablets at all, until my friend showed me is TF. Then I started researching and discovered the 10.1 I then ordered one and since them I'm in love. Can't wait to see what the future will be.

Ok guys here is a tutorial i got from a member by the name of McLabia all credits to him i`m just sharing.So i wanted to remove the clock from the lockscreen so i did what noobs dont do and search and found this.

(Instructions)

If youre wanting to make anything disappear from your lockscreen like the clock or date, try this out.

Find /system/apps/idlescreen_base.apk and open it in the m10 editor.

Once open navigate to Lockscreen_time.m10/0x0dc10c5e/lockscreen_time/timeline.time_fade/text.lockscreentime_ and where you see where it says Visible=1(bool) if you change this to 0 it will be hidden. You can do this with each of the items there.

Pretty simple and easy

link to original thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160206

(I added pics) 1st with both clock and carrier gone.

2nd with just the carrier

I wanted this because i dont see the need for another clock on the screen when its in the statusbar, i also have my carrier in the statusbar and when you add the lockscreen clock widget theres not an extra clock over top of it gives you screen a clean look.

If it was helpful take a second and hit the thanks button i appreciated.

also thank to the originator where i got this from McLabia on the thunderbolt thread. Thanks again McLabia
