[HTC Sensation] DarkBasic86:
Hey people,

i´m using Revolution HD™ 3.6.0 XE.

All fine, but i miss one stock app.

HTC´s Dice. I think all custom ROM developers erase it out, but why? I like this app. Can anyone upload it or something? Has anyone a rooted phone with stock ROM?

If it important, i have the EU version (germany)

I have backup´d my stock ROM, but i cant find the copied folder on my computer.

Hope anyone can help me.

DarkBasic
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
It's not on the stock ROM, hence not in custom ones. HTC have removed it

EDIT: Should add I mean it's removed from the XE-based ROM as it's not in the stock XE RUU. If you want it that much you'll need to use a 1.45.401.2-based ROM instead
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
You can get it from this thread. But it does not work on XE based ROMs.
[HTC Sensation] Rednax87:
Thnx, I was looking for this one 2:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] swanysto:
So I have an Evo 4g on sprint. I love it. My parents have the family plan on ATT and my dad is up for a new phone. Apparently he can get the Inspire for free. He wont be rooting or anything like that. Are there any problems we should be aware of. GPS, signal problems, etc?

I guess I just want to know if this is a solid phone that he can use to look up stuff on the internet that we are arguing about :) and I think he wants to use the caddie golf apps his friends use. Is it basically just the ATT version of my evo? If it is, I would definitely recommend it in a heartbeat.

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joshp406:
All and all, the Inspire is a good phone, though it lacks a front camera, if that even matters.
[HTC Inspire 4G] swanysto:
Lack of front camera won't be an issue. I am more looking for issues that come up a month or two that make people regret buying the phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmurphy0487:
I've had it since release day and still have no issues with it. He may not be happy with battery life and the fact that there really aren't any options for extended batteries because of the phone's design.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DjIsD:
I love it. I just left T-Mobile and had a Sensation. Your Lucia with your decision.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cookw24:
Some people have issues with the GPS antenna not being properly attached and therefore getting poor reception. I think I have that issue, but it doesn't affect me enough to require me taking it in. Some people do have to do that though
[HTC Inspire 4G] FusionTechFTS:
It's been a great phone form me. Even if you just root it with a stock rom and a different kernal, you should be able to squeeze some more batt life out of it, plus you'll get rid of the att bloatware.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
Yeah, pretty much the only downside is the ATT bloatware, if you can live with it then by all means I recommend this phone without rooting it at all...if you're like me and want full control and the ability to customize certain things rooting would be the way to go. When I was stock and rooted I haven't had any issues with internet, service or signal..aside from the occasional dead zones in my office and my girlfriend's work( hospitals so go figure).From what it sounds like, the way your dad wants to use the phone, I think he'll be happy with it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cavsoldier19d:
The only issue I've had was mentioned above. Due to the design, I had serious signal issues that got worse over time. I got a warranty replacement and could immediately tell the difference in signal strength with the new one. Some ppl have this issue, some don't. He can always get a warranty replacement if he ends up with a lemon. Other than that, I love this phone and would definitely recommend it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] partsdudes:
This is by far my favorite yet. I for one have had no issues, I think he will love it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
The bad part is that it really will depend on the device you get. Might take you a few tries to get a "perfect" device and it might not. If your dad is having you help him with a choice then my only advice would be to look at what he really is gonna do with it and get a device that fits him.

I have had no issues with mine and to honest I am happy with it to the point of waiting awhile before I upgrade, it does everything I need it to do easily and as long as I am not working on a beta Rom pretty reliable. Lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] swanysto:
Thanks for the replies guys. It helps. I think my dad just wants a phone like mine to look up stuff and play with apps. I have the EVO on sprint, and I seem to like everything except the battery life. I just want him to have a phone he can have fun playing with apps like the gps golf app and such, and doesn't have to worry about trying to get the darn phone to work all the time. For instance my samsung epic had serious GPS issues and it made apps that used the gps hard to use cause the gps hardware in the phone sucked.

I figured at $30, he would be getting a pretty good phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mentaliti:
Ok so I recently learned how to completely disassemble and reassemble the Evo, so my question is whether or not it's possible to install a different screen other than the stock one. Perhaps a SAMOLED or S-LCD (like the one in the thunderbolt)? Also is it possible to replace the cellular radio or does that require replacing the entire logic board? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I am a noob. :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steven 1:
I remember a question like this not too long ago. You can't replace any hardware from your phone because the other components wouldn't match and would most likely malfunction your device. The screens wouldn't fit because of the unique shape the phone is and so on. Sorry I can't give more detailed description or examples. I'm just basing it off what I read in this forum a couple months ago.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mentaliti:
yeah I figured there would be some difficulties, but still c'mon, how cool would that be. Seriously though, are there any experts out there that have actually tried it? Please feel free to chime in.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgnationrc:
Hi. This is the first time I will root and flash a phone. Of course I can't use my phone during the process itself, but what about after I root? I am a busy person and most likely I won't be able to root then flash in the same day.

How long does the root process, and then the flash process, take about? Estimates?

After I root, I can take and receive calls and SMS right away right? No waiting to do other things first? How about after I flash? When I get done flashing, can I start to use my phone again?

I am just nervous that it will take so long and I have to go for a meeting or my boss or student needs to talk to me, etc...

Thanks, LGnationrc
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
After you root and/or flash ROM. Assuming you did a full wipe, you'll have to set the phone up.

Basically the touch the Android robot and sign in to your Google account.

Phone and SMS should work right after that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
Just remember to backup your contacts or remember to sync it to Google Contacts before you start (go to sync in settings, choose your account and tap "Sync Contacts".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgnationrc:
ok thanks guys. I can't find this "thanks" button but I give you guys one each!

I think I will just do a root first, before I get into flashing. Rooting seems easy and fast. I have everything really to go, I just want to read up and get more information before I dive in.

After I am all done, flashing too, I basically want a faster phone (no more lag!) and I want to be able to run skype (I can't with my LG Optimus X2) and I want to remove that stupid and loud shutter sound when i record once and for all. Maybe I can free up some battery life too. I only get about 10 days before she is shut off dead. I only have about 20 apps. Maybe I can remove all the build crap apps too.

When I finally have the time to do it, I will let you guys know how it went. And report any problems I have if any. Thanks, lgnationrc
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
Just to clarify, the rooting process itself will not change the usability of your phone afterward. Until you choose to flash a custom ROM you can run your device with it's stock ROM as long as you like. In my case, I used a clean rooting method (not a one-click method) and it took 10 minutes to complete. I did spend quite a bit of time reading up on the subject beforehand. ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgnationrc:
Ok, whats the difference between oneclick method and a "clean" root method? Why a "root" vs. a oneclick method?

That is fine. I just want to get the process started. As long as I can take this in steps and still be able to use the phone in between steps.

What is the percentage of chance that I brick my phone trying to do this?

Thanks, lgnationrc
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
Both are rooting methods. With some devices there are apps designed to root you at the click of a button. Sometimes this is great and sometimes it can cause problems. With my phone, HTC G2, I used a process that takes a tad bit longer, but I was able to see what was going on each step of the way. My point was simply that rooting doesn't usually take long at all. If you already have a good method in mind stick with it and don't let me confuse you. And all this said - I did use a program called z4root to root my old CLIQ and it worked great. If you do find a one click method just be sure to do your homework on it, and be sure it's not causing more harm than good.

And I can't give you a percentage in terms of bricking your phone. If I were you I would just read instructions, then re read, read the posts by other users... read as much as you can. If you don't understand something, do a Google search. And when you feel comfortable, go ahead and do it. Flashing a custom ROM is simple and really does breathe new life into your phone. Good luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgnationrc:
Good news. I rooted my LG last night. No problems, went fast. I will wait to flash a few weeks before I feel really comfortable and read as much as I can.

But one problem I have right now is, I can't delete the factory apps. I have Astro file manager and I try to delete facebook but I keep getting "Error deleting" message.

And I am trying to figure out how to remove that stupid shutter sound when I record video. I guess there is a law in Hong Kong (thats where I bought the phone) that before you record there has to be a loud shutter sound. Nothing works. I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

I also haven't backed my phone up yet. I have to get the software still.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
You need a root enabled file manager. Try es file explorer from the market. You have to enable it in the settings.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
First thing I would do is flash Clockworkmod recovery. This will allow you to create a backup (nandroid) of your device in its current state. This way, if any of the changes you might make cause unwanted side effects, you can always restore. If you download Rom Manager in the Market, it should contain the recovery for your device.

Astro will not allow you read/write access to the system. I would install ES File Explorer. It's a free file manager app on the Market, and it will allow you access to system files, where you'll be able to do things such as remove the shutter sound.

You have to be careful deleting system applications from your ROMs. Some are necessary. Facebook is not, obviously... but you're better off leaving the stock system apps alone and flashing a custom ROM where you'll have many more options. Also, FYI, Titanium Backup is useful for creating user app/data backups, and also in that is allows you to freeze apps which essentially makes them unavailable... however, they can also be easily restored (defrosted) if need be. Happy flashing.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whenemusattack:
I tried unlocking my bootloader with ATT Unlocker for 1.8.3 and 4.5.91 ATT firmwares found in the pudding thread seemed to go well at first but when it rebooted I got:

SWF 105:1:2

Failed to boot 0x1000

No OS detected, going to rsd mode in 5 seconds press a key to stop count down available modes are:

1)rsd

2)fastboot

3)NvFlash

4)Bp HW Bypass rsd

5)BP HW bypass QC Dload

6)BP HW diag & Boot AP

7)BP HW Bypass BP only

8)BP SW Bypass RSD

9)Android recovery

10)boot android (no BP)

11)Device UID

12)console=tty50,115200n8

13 Early USB enumeration

14)BP tools

current choice is node:

RSD

starting Fastboot support protocol

but the volume keys were unresponsive and I couldn't select anything and nothing ever happened, it just stayed at that screen just like that. So I thought no worries I would just flash to stock and I would be ok at least. Then I tried to flash ATT 4.5.91 sbf from the firmware superthread, it failed almost immediately hitting start in RSD lite!

I then installed Motorola Software Update hoping that could fix it. While it detected the device it showed N/A in all the fields and couldn't upgrade my device.

After several battery pulls my device started to give the "battery too low to flash" message in addition to the above message so I plugged it into a wallcharger and the message stayed on screen the whole time. I left it charging overnight but, when I took it off the charger in the morning it died almost immediately.

When I plugged it into the PC with the USB cable I just get a black screen although the LED at the top left glows green. So I believe that the battery is totally dead with no way to charge it.

Getting very desperate, I called motorola for warranty purposes and they just sent me an email redirecting me to their troubleshooter which is unable to detect my device, as suspected.

So, Is my Atrix fixable or is it hard bricked? I have a warranty as the device is only 3 months old and Best Buy Black Tie Protection. I also fortunately have another upgrade on my family plan and can get another atrix from Amazon wireless for only $25(with a contract). Therefore I'm not too worried, but would like to fix my phone if possible!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Javi97100:
Just continue the process with fastboot oem unlock and fastboot reboot
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whenemusattack:
Thanks for the reply, but I don't think that will work since my PC and subsequently ADB doesn't recognize my phone due to very low battery and it won't charge :(

The volume buttons are also unresponsive.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
if you can boot into fastboot mode, use fastboot to use the 'fastboot oem unlock' command.

if you can't charge your phone, then try to take your battery out and plug your phone into the OEM wall charger, and then place your battery back in the phone causing it to charge.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whenemusattack:
So let me get this straight, alls I need to do is force it to charge then when it's charged go to cmd and get to android-sdk/tools and type fastboot oem unlock, agree to bootloader unlock then it will be back to normal?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
That should work, yes
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Javi97100:
Im pretty sure you can't charge while in this mode, your gonna have to borrow another atrix or external charger to charge your battery
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whenemusattack:
one last question, is there anyway to be sure it's charging? Will the green light come on?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Javi97100:
Read my post before your question :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whenemusattack:
sorry, I didn't see that, you're probably right but, I can still try, Unfortunately I don't know anyone with an atrix so I'll probably have to buy an external charger.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlipz:
I think an universal charger can take care of it...

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whenemusattack:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whenemusattack:
Thanks, I charged my battery via 3rd party charger, then did what you said, now I'm back to normal! Time to root my device now!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlipz:
Congratz for charge battery hehe. Now do what u wanna do xd
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konna280:
another trick if you don't want to spend your hard earned cash on an external charger (i did this last night)

find a spare usb cable. strip some of the the black insulation from the cable (a good 4-5 inches should do it), cut away the metal shield, find the red and black wires and cut them close to the micro usb connector. strip about 1cm of the red and black insulation from the wires and then twist the wires and hold them over the correct terminals on the phone while putting the battery back in (red+ on right 2 terminals, black- on left 2 --- make sure they dont come in contact with each other, and the red wire doesn't touch any other metal parts on phone).

plug usb into pc (you dont need to plug micro usb into phone), and if done correctly the 'battery too low' message will no longer show up, and you will be able to use rsd mode to recover your phone using another usb cable.

by the way i am i not responsible if you don't follow these instructions carefully and damage your battery/phone in any way whatsoever. if you don't feel capable of doing it, find someone who can.
[Milestone XT720 General] opiswahn:
Hey guys,

i have a wiered problem, since i did my last sbf-flash, apps keep remaining on the fresh system after i do a nandroid-backup.

So this is what i do:

1) sbf a standart 2.1 rom

2) nandroid Dexters 2.2.1

3) i have all apps back in the rom which i had BEFORE the sbf-flash...

How is that even possible?? For my Understanding sbf-flashing means a complete overwriting of all data on the rom...

Also i didn't sign in to my google-account, so that can't be it either...

Anyone got some ideas??

Greets,

**Jürgen**
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
ext partition on your sdcard?
[Milestone XT720 General] opiswahn:
Jap, but not in use

**edit**

Oh, that seems to be it... everythings back to stock... but why?? I didn't enable a2sd for apps to ext or such...
[Milestone XT720 General] AA1973:
Sorry, but that was the (!) reason why we wanted so badly Froyo! To be able to do A2SD!

If you have an sd-ext/app folder just rename it to whatever and you should be fine. Or delete it before flashing if this is possible ....

IIRC what was happening here the last year :-)

Milestone XT720 - CM6.3.0 RC3
[Milestone XT720 General] opiswahn:
Nah, i wanted Froyo because of the Jitter. That was a major boost in speed. Apps2SD was never interesting for me, the internal memory was enough for my useage.

Swap-Support wasn't bad, but i figured with V6 and without a2sd or swap, everythings running much more smooth than with.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
In Dexter's 2.2.1, app2ext is automatic if you have an extra partition.
[Milestone XT720 General] opiswahn:
Aah, good to know ;)

Another question, is it possible to flash Hellmonger or CM6 directly over Stock 2.1 or do i need a 2.2.1-Version?

In Other words: Is

1) Stock 2.1 (sbf)

2) Dexter 2.1.1 (nandroid)

3) Hellmonger or CM6 (nandroid)

the right order or is there a better way to do it?
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
No need to flash to Dexter's ROM, 2.1 to Hellmonger's is fine.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] EricNagel:
I'm a little curious as we discovered that moving lib .so files over for the camera fixed the 30fps issue...

does anyone notice:

libvoutservice.so

libvouthdmi.so

lib.voutfimc.so

libvout_jni.so

libvout.so

I don't have my HDMI cable on me right now...if someone where to put those libs in there, would it fix HDMI?

Devs, do you know or not know if this would do anything?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
no. the rogers rom kernel and launcher were all desighned without hdmi. those files may be integral to porting hdmi but it also needs kernel work and the att launcher.

good news is that entropy is examining the kernel end of things. he might be able to either make a better att kernel by making improvements in initramfs or use what he can learn from the att kernel to port support into the rogers kernel.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EricNagel:
Damn...I thought I'd get lucky.

Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
We might be able to get by without the launcher - but clearly there is kernel support involved, since people running custom Rogers-derived kernels on I3 don't get HDMI.

There's some hints in the sources as to what might be missing, and some of the things LinuxBozo and I tried ages ago might be worth trying again now that userland has caught up, but I know last time we got G2D support to compile, we got all sorts of kernel mini-panics.

Unfortunately I3 came on a bad week for me - the flood didn't affect me too much other than being away from my apartment for a few days, but that put me behind on everything else. I've got a friend visiting this weekend so cleaning the apartment is top priority. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Raa_1:
Hi All,

I've been doing a bit of reading about this issue, and there's varying information about it.

Basically, when I receive and MMS, the quality is downsized (for a photo), or a video, may simply be truncated.

When I receive the request, the app says MMS ready to download, 49kb. I accept the download, and then view, if it's a photo, it's usually 15kb at a res of abour 280x150px.

If it's a video it still says it's 49kb, then I hit download, and it downloads the message, but says the attached file is corrupt.

Now I know the files aren't that size when sent from the source.

People have suggested it's a problem with the useragent coming from the phone, and Telstra (my provider) has an issue with an "unrecognised device" and defaults to the lowest settings possible.

I've tried chompsms and handcent, same issue - and I can't find the option to change the useragent for MMS.

Others have suggested hacking the mms.apk file, but we don't have that, only conversation.apk

(Now i'm wondering if the issue is in messaging.apk ?)

Has anyone got any ideas about this issue? It's not a Telstra issue, I was doing this just fine on my previous phone. :/

Cheers.
[Motorola Droid 3] Raa_1:
Still had no luck with this. Just dropped my SIM back in my old HTC TP2, and boom! 252kb MMS's are back. (Just had one come in that refused to download).

So i've also stuffed up my Conversations apk & odex...

Any quick ways of getting those out of the recovery .img files?

Edit : Just reflashed system.img using fastboot and it's fine.
[Motorola Droid 3] Raa_1:
Just a final heads up on this.

It seems it was a Telstra issue, for some reason it just magically started working correctly today. 2 New MMS received today at the correct quality.

No changes to my phone, and I did NOT talk to Telstra about this. How strange!
