[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuGGzyx:
Using verygreens generic disk image, installing CM7, everything works but after installing a couple apps it says there is no space.

So which partition do I need to increase in order for the Android OS to thing it has more "internal storage" for the purpose of installing apps?

The partitions I see in EASUS are:

Root 100mb (approx)

Unnamed 400mb (approx)

Nook 1GB (approx)

CM7 4GB (approx

The two large one's are obviously mostly empty so I am pretty sure it's not those...

Do I just need to increase the initial Root partition after imaging the SD before I boot off of it?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inportb:
It's not the boot partition (the FAT-formatted partition at the left of the disk), for sure. "Internal storage" is the third partition on my SD. What is "the phone"?
[HTC Typhoon] ontel.97:
I've XPhone II and I want to restore to original ROM, where can I have it???? Please help...
[HTC Typhoon] ontel.97:
original ROM = (Stock ROM)
[HTC Typhoon] tobbbie:
www.shipped-roms.com is a place to look (but offline). Otherwise it can be backed up from the device to mini-SD card, look up xda-dev. for "r2sd -all" command. For that to work however, the device has to have super-CID rights. Getting this is part of the preparations for loading cooked ROMs.
[HTC Typhoon] garbol:
just saw this! i was able to restore my o2 xphone IIm about a month ago by using a o2 xphone II mobo... and i'm dearly looking for the exact rom for my device... glad that i found this! :)
[XPERIA X1 General] kiwikonnections:
Hello everyone,

I'm working on a little project, a YouTube series of videos going through the usage of different Android builds on the X1, covering installation, appearance, how it runs on the hardware, and what it is like to use on a daily basis.

There are plenty of videos already that go over the installation, but I'm hoping that this first video might help get new people interested in Android and in experimenting with their phone. Once I complete more videos, perhaps these videos will help people find builds they are interested in.

The first episode is maybe a bit rough, I'm still working on a consistent format. Let me know what you think, what could change, what could be added, and how you would find a video like this helpful or useful!

Cheers,

[XPERIA X1 General] ontel.97:
My SD card is broken and now my computer is not detecting my SD Card at all... it's broken... just because I r=use Android in X1
[XPERIA X1 General] kiwikonnections:
The two most likely causes I can see for that are:

1) Normal wear and tear - the SD card failed from normal use. All flash memory can only be written to so many times before it stops working. MicroSD cards are cheap, don't let one failed attempt discourage you from ever trying again!

2) Partitioning might not work properly on some SD cards. Try with another brand.

If you didn't create the FAT32 partition first, or at all, Windows won't be able to see the files. However, it should still be able to see the SD card with a program like Minitool. If you can see it with Minitool, just remove the partitions you made for Android, and just make one single FAT32 partition (primary). Windows should be able to see it again.

If you can't see it in Minitool, try again using another memory card reader. If you still can't read it, then the SD card is likely bad.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BlazinDANDAMAN:
Ok I got my cable and odin ready. I'm on EP1W Bloated. Just wanted some input before I go through with this. Should I Flash DarkCharge or HumbleComb 4.0? It seems to me that all I have to do is flash HC in odin and I'll have voodoo. Is that correct for me to say? With DCTQ I would have to take an extra step. Is it worth it? I'm on orange CWR, so I would have to odin flash the yellow also to get DCTQ, right?

I like the look of both, but my main concern is 4G connectivity, battery life, and of course stability. Any pointers would be appreciated.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BlackHoleSlam:
I am on darkcharge more and thinking of switching since battery life is pretty bad on here where I an there is no 4g so no comment on that
[Verizon Droid Charge] jmorton10:
I have tried every ROM available & all I will say is DCTQ is probably my least favorite ROM of all.

[Nook Color General] hikersc:
I was running CM7 -197 build on SD card with ADW Launcher EX. Due to the know Market issue, I would change the LCD density to 160 dpi to regain the Market. Each time that I would do this, my screen would squeeze all the icons into the middle 3/4 of the screen leaving a gap at the top and bottom where no icons could be located. If I returned the resolution to 161, my full screen would return and my icons would be spaced correctly. This morning I loaded the -200 build which has the 160 dpi built-in and I am back to all my icons crowded into the middle of the screen.

Has anyone else encountered this? If so, is there something that I can do to fix or correct? I have looked at all the ADW Launcher EX settings but see nothing that helps.

As a side note, I can run the ADW Launcher that comes with CM7 and everything is spaced correctly at 160 dpi. I do, however, prefer the icon and icon text settings that the EX version allows and would like to run it if I can get it to work correctly.

Thanks, in advance, for any help.

Done!

I can't explain how long it took me to find that...
[Nook Color General] hikersc:
Thanks for these suggestions. I had not tried either one until now. Unfortunately, neither suggestion worked for me. I tried a reboot after unchecking the density hack but my screen is still showing the icon rows and columns in the middle 3/4 of the screen.

If I cannot find a solution I guess I will just stick with the regular ADW Launcher. I just wish there was a way to get the icons to be a little bigger. Maybe I will just step up the power of my reading glasses.
[Nook Color General] tyderian:
I have the same issue. I also believe it is caused by the screen layout, not dpi. My setup is 7 rows x 8 columns (looks better to me when switching back and forth between portrait and landscape). No change when I change lcd density, but if I add more rows, the gaps disappear.

btw, I've had density hack unchecked the whole time.

I don't mind it so much because my screen is pretty full anyway, the gap is a nice visual break.
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
Might try unchecking compatability mode.
[Nook Color General] tyderian:
I've always had that unchecked as well. The only thing I've changed that successfully gets rid of the gaps is having at least 8 rows.

hikersc, how many rows and columns do you have?
[Nook Color General] hikersc:
I have 5 columns and 7 rows. As mentioned, I like to increase the size of the icons (and icon text).

I looked but could not find a setting for "compatibility mode". Could someone let me know and I will try that?

Thanks for everyone's help.
[Nook Color General] Yoinx:
I would guess he means the compatability setting in Spare Parts.
[Nook Color General] edfreemen:
I have the same issue. I have tired all of the above fixes... None of them have worked except changing the DPI, but that removes the market apps.

I am on Cm7 nightly 206 with the most up to date version of ADW ex. Does anyone else have any ideas? Even with more rows and columns there is still a gap of about 3/4 of an inch on both sides, or top and bottom depending on orientation.
[Nook Color General] mborzill:
Solved... sorta

The issue is definitely with ADW EX and the new fancy-pants dock bar.

The good news is that you can easily get your screen real estate back, the bad is that until ADW fixes this you wont be able to have your familiar 3-5 icon dock, you'll have to make the new "hidden" dock your primary

UI Settings

Main Dock

Main Dock Style

None (expand desktop)

The new bar is still persistent when you scroll across all screens... I'll get used to it... heck, I might even learn to like it.
[Nook Color General] hikersc:
Wow!...Thanks! This does, indeed work. I would prefer the old dock or at least an option to have the old versus the "fancy pants" new one but at least I can adjust the icon and icon text size and not have the big gaps at top and bottom (or worse...a crippled Market).

To tell you the truth, I have been looking at the regular ADW icons for so long I might just stick with that. None the less, thanks for coming to the rescue. I had tried a number of different things but never found the solution. Great Job!
[Nook Color General] edfreemen:
Thank you so much! I have been pounding my head trying to get this to work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] thad2b:
Couple weeks back when a vzw leaked pic popped up showing the release date of the bionic it also showed other phones and dates, the charge had a 9/30 date. Would that be the date when the price drops or an EoL date? Im thinking of make the switch to the charge in the coming weeks
[Verizon Droid Charge] BlazinDANDAMAN:
Doubt is the EOL... Probably discounted pricing. If the Charge is still 299 probably gonna drop to 199. But thats a guess
[Verizon Droid Charge] AlexDeGruven:
Yeah, it's most likely a price drop date, but without context, there's no way to tell until the day actually happens next week.

Maybe we'll get lucky and it's the date of the 2.3 OTA rollout.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ace5198:
wake up!

10 char
[Verizon Droid Charge] thad2b:
Im hoping its a price drop down to 199.99, then i could pick it up for 150 since i have a 50 dollor discount currently which would be sweet
[Verizon Droid Charge] bluevolume:
They don't list software updates that specifically on those sheets. You'd see something maybe as specific as a month, or a quarter.
[Verizon Droid Charge] killerapl:
Could be wrong but I remember seeing the charge for 199 at best buy.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
I don't know why anybody would buy a phone directly from Verizon when AmazonWireless almost *always* has a much lower price.

Droid Charge at Verizon: $299.99 with a 2-year contract.

Droid Charge at Amazon: $0.01 (yes, one penny) with a 2-year contract for new lines, $119.99 with a 2-year contract for individual account upgrades, $179.99 for family account upgrades.

Or another example, to illustrate that this isn't just the case with older phones; Droid Bionic at Verizon: $299.99.

Droid Bionic at Amazon: $149.99 new customer, $219.99 solo upgrade, $249.99 family upgrade.

No matter how you slice it, them's good savings over Verizon's price.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Look at the terms of the 2-yr agreement for that price ;) The best place to buy phones on contract is Costco that I've seen. You don't get a discount, but their return policy is the best I've seen, and you almost always get a lot of "free" accessories to go with your new phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] richm052569:
Agreed about AmazonWireless. This Charge in my hand cost me 1 cent.

There are a couple of hitches though, nothing terrible, but worth noting. The fine print on the purchase agreements states that should you fail to keep your (Verizon, in my case) account active and in good standing for six months, you may be subject to being charged the FULL Retail price for your device. OK, you either opened a new 2 year contract as you purchased the phone, or you added a line...either way your in for 2 years, just pay your bills. But if you think about it, that ~$250 would be on top of the ETF from Verizon!

The other note is anecdotal... I recently got a 1 cent deal for the Sony XPeria Play for my wife, added a line to do it, no problem. One month later, to the day, she and I got fed up with the charging issues that phone is known for, so I called AmazonWireless for a replacement. The customer service rep was very helpful, but she did mention that I just made the cutoff of 30 days for free replacements. I didn't ask, but I wonder what would happen if the phone developed an issue 45 days after purchase? Isn't Verizon much more accommodating with this? Or am I wrong?

Sent from my GummyCharged Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] chaoscentral:
Correct Verizon has a 1 year warranty period with all phones bought from them, as well as extended warranty options available for $1.99 a month
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rythmyc:
Even IF Amazon wouldn't replace a broken phone (that wasn't your fault and falls under warranty) you could take it up to Verizon, and they would still honor the 1 year warranty. Even though you didn't buy the phone from Verizon. I've done it with phones I bought from "other stores."
[Verizon Droid Charge] pice:
Do you happen to know what they base they 1 year off of? Its a year from when the phone was made or a year from the time its activated on your account?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
I think it's a year from the purchase/activation date

Hi David, one quick question, after this update when you turn on the tab do you see a lock under the samsung.

Hola David, una pregunta, después de actualizar te aparece un candado debajo de Samsung al reiniciar.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Aspirina750:
Another stupid question :) Is this firmware locked or unlocked?

I have to send the tab for a RMA and I don't have the original firmware, so I installed the P7100BUKC8 one and it prompted me to update to P7100BUKE2, now I only need to know if it is locked or not.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkWolfx:
I got a DINC with CM7, radio 2.15 and 2.6.38 incredikernel.

I personally felt battery drain was bad for the phone, the problem is that I had a kind of similar problem with Droid X devices. I am starting to believe it has to be with my carrier, but well I'll let you guys decide.

I flashed this rom, radio and kernel, because I read of battery draining issues. But I still feel is a huge battery drain for me with 3G on.

I have to keep disabling and enabling my 3G only when I need it, when I have seen other phones with 3G always on lasting about a day.

Just to give you an example, I wake up in the morning, unplug it, turn on 3G, listen to a radio station with screen turned off for 30 minutes, turn the screen on and battery percentage goes 20% down, so I'm left with 80%.

That would mean, if I listen to online music for 3 hours online, my phone would be dead.

Is this normal for you guys?

I appreciate any comments and experiences, thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRZLA:
Streaming is battery intensive, you are basically downloading the entire time.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I have to say battery life is one of the most subjective aspects of smartphones let alone android devices. For one, your signal strength relative to nearby towers will affect battery drain. Secondly, everyone uses different batteries ranging from stock to extended so there is little consistency. Our phones with the stock battery do not last longer than 3-4 hours with 3G on, so what you stated is not unusual.

From what I remember, of the droid phones that came out last summer the Droid X and Evo 4G are said to have "better" battery life fresh out the box compared to the Incredible and that's maybe by an hour at best. You should expect to see a lot of "use wifi" or "my battery life is impeccable because of ..." type posts in response to yours to be blunt.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynisterWolf:
when was the last time you updated you PRL? if you havent done it in a while dial *22899 after its done reboot. VZW claims it helps with battery drain.

This was pulled off there site.

how about emulating JD in tasker?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkWolfx:
First of all, I'm not in Verizon, it's actually a mexican carrier.

I do understand 3G is very battery demanding, I just do not understand how is it that you guys can last a full day with 3G, I've never or heard very little of users turning off their 3G so it can go for at least a day.

I mean, if you guys run a quick test for 30 minutes of listening to some radio station in 3G, could you see if your battery drains really quick?

I've seen GSM users with 3G always on, and they never ask for a charger like I do.

I'm always looking for ways to charge my phone and they just go all day without a charger.

It makes me feel bad haha.

What's a JD? And what would this do?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evanbowers:
I recently did this after updating from stock .28 radio to .07.07 and have noticed a HUGE battery life improvement. I understand that these results vary quite a bit but beforehand I was experiencing what you describe: big battery drain while 3g was on at all. Also running stock+ 4.06.605.3 ROM by jermaine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRZLA:
I last a day and a half with 3g consistantly on. I am not running a sense rom though. I've found sense rom's drain battery a lot faster due to how many Widgets are used and constant syncing. If you can I would try an AOSP rom and see if there is a difference.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alton (Halo 2):
It was download and updating then rebooted . War is this suppose to do ? And can u do this on any Rom ? Bcuz I did it on newtoroots sense 3.5 Rom
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
That is completely normal for a CDMA based device. GSM based phones suck power at a fraction of the rate per MB downloaded because signal strength isn't linked to the broadcast power required. Broadcast power is static. I've seen my dInc go flat dead sitting on a table inside 4 hours. In ideal circumstances, it might go 8 or 9. A GSM devices utilizing data on the same levels will achieve uniform battery life regardless of signal strength and outperform CDMA devices on battery life by twice, if not triple the time. However, CDMA will provide higher data rates. LTE is unquestionably the most efficient megabytes/watts used. To perform the same function on an LTE device (your radio app), it would have consumed between half and a quarter of the power. A GSM device would have been about half the power.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liu2015:
3G electric charges
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gattaca7:
I know what the OP is talking about. I had DInc1 running OMGB, and it would last 10-17 hours depending usage with 3G on all the time. Now, I have a DInc2 running Condemned CM7.2 v1.6, but it can only last like 8 hours idle with 3G on. If anyone has a solution to this, it would be nice to know. I also tested if it's 3G by turning off mobile data; without 3G, the phone lasts a long time, so it's not an app or battery issue.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] xyrovice:
Well, Swiftkey X has lost its appeal to me.

What are some of the best keyboards out there that, as odd a request as it might seem, are also light on system resources?

I just like a snappy keyboard that doesn't take two seconds to pop up or disappear, and doesn't 'stumble' when typing (no input for a sec, then all of a sudden puts in your last 3 strokes).

I don't need much in terms of theming, but the one thing I found with Swiftkey that I REALLY fell in love with was the ability to change the long key press time threshold...for example, I decreased it from like 500ms to 250ms...it makes typing for me a whole lot faster. Are there any other keyboards with that?

Thanks for your input fellas.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Mgamerz:
My swipe pops up right away. However, I HATE typing passwords or usernames with it. I know that doesn't really help, as I cna't find any keyboards I like... I can't stand swiftkey, especially with the browser, as that .com is ALWAYS in the way when I try to search. For general use, I like the stock keyboard actually... its less laggy than the froyo one was, but it still is a bit laggy...
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] KeRmiT80:
i used for a while go keyboard, but now i'm using thumb keyboard 4 and it's highly customizable, fast no lags, perfect for my big fingers :D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] xyrovice:
I've been eyeing that one and think I'll check out the free demo/trial they have.

Unfortunately, Mgamerz, I kinda don't like any swype keyboards. I actually tried going back to it for a while when Swiftkey started fading and still couldn't get into it.

Thanks for the input guys.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] vp294:
I'm using thumb keyboard and its pretty good. Really like the portrait layout, making it soeasy to type.

It would be much better if it let me customize every single keys so I can make my own layout or keys that I use often.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] knjigo:
Go keyboard is best for me. You have swipe, you can adjust intensity of vibration you have everything.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] xyrovice:
Well I was mistaken, there is no demo.

But you like it? Never ran into any lag? I see a review here and there that says it lags but it was literally only like 2, and one of them was using the LG optimus (the little crappy one T-mobile has, I think)

@knjigo: You're right...I don't like swyping though. Plus, I'm actually referring not to the length of the vibration feedback, but to how long it takes for, say, when I press a letter at the top with a number mapped "under" it for the long keypress, I could actually change how long I had to wait while pressing the letter to get the number to pop up.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] vp294:
I like it. Using it since alien rom and now I'm using cm7. I have experienced NO lag at all on this beast.
