Hello community!

I noticed in the 2.3.3 version of my r800i it had the old tv style-like off animation when you turned the screen off. I loved this cos its what I thought made the nexus s so damn sexy. But alas in 2.3.4 its gone :(

Anyway to get this animation? Without roms, I've taken quite a liking to timescape :)
[Xperia Play General] metcard:
enable some/all animations under display settings.
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
i believe that crt animation is gone on 2.3.4. i think op is asking for the apk that enables it..

try playing with the system apps from the .368 firmware..

[Xperia Play General] Penguin Soldier:
If you download the app called "Screen OFF and Lockscreen Off" you can use it to turn of the screen and lock the phone just as you would from the power button. This app has many different styles in how it turns off the screen. One of them being the crt animation. I use that and when I turn off my phone. You should check it out in the market.

[Verizon Droid Charge] TacticalMonk:
Okay. I have read quite a bit on this forum regarding the ROMs and CWM. I have rooted my phone and am looking to add Gummy Charge. I have never done this with a phone and the rooting process was nerve racking knowing what could be the consequences. I use this phone for work, but would like to enjoy it while I have it.

As I said, I have read quite a bit, but am still confused. I have a few questions:

1) Define flash.

2) I have dowloaded the following files:

- GummyCharged_FE_1.9.1_FullOdin.tar.md5.7z

- 0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5

- Voodoo-stable-5.5-Froyo-GT-I9000-odin-pda.tar

Are these the files I need for this process?

3) What order to add these to the phone through Odin?

4) Once these are added, do I start up after each install?

I think this will cover it for now.

I appreciate everyone's time and hope this is not a repeat series of questions. I really appreciate all developers and the time they have spent putting all this together for our benefit.

[Verizon Droid Charge] jonesin:
K so forget the i9000 file all together. Actually just delete it before you really screw something up.

Flashing is the act of overwriting system partitions with alternate firmware. Thats my best shot at a clear def.

On to the rest. Be sure youve got odin set up properly drivers and all.

Now all youve got to do is flash the gc1.9 odin package. Let boot. Go back to download mode then flash recovery in odin and let the phone boot.

Ps you may not need to flash the recovery in odin but i can't remember if that gc package includes one do you might as well just do it....

Also I believe that package includes a voodoo kernel so it could take quite a while to boot up the first time..

Happy flashing my friend!
[Verizon Droid Charge] TacticalMonk:
Thank you for your quick response.

I'm assuming I have all the drivers for Odin since I used it for the rooting process.

If there is something I may be overlooking please let me know.

You mention:

Is this what I use Odin for or is Odin only used to "place" the file in the phone? Are there steps that I need to do to "flash" the phone or do I just boot up and I'm now running Gummy Charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
all you need to do is get the phone into download mode and connect it with Odin open on your pc, press PDA (NOT PHONE) and browse for the Gummy odin package ending in .tar.md5, place the battery back in and press start then let Odin flash the rom to your phone... when its finished unplug your phone and remove battery, then put it back in and boot the phone up (first bootup may take a while so bear with it) then enjoy your rooted and custom rom'd phone... using ClockWorkMod that installs with the rom you can then flash anything you want in the future like newer kernels or different roms

Good day

I just have my U8800 in today

and i have looked everywhere but i couldn't find it

the question is ..Is it possible to give every contact/group his own ring-tone ??

Or do i have to give it a other theme/rom to enable this ??

EDIT:

Lol

well 32 view's. I guess some of them have this phone but no one could answer me ??

Verry strange. So i guess nobody with this phone has ever tried it !

Already found a app for it called Ringo

So you can only do it by adding a ext app
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fcardos:
Hello Gman2006

I think i have the answer to your question.

1-Tap contacts icon

2- Tap a contact.

3- Tap menu symbol on your phone and select options

You will see default ringtones.

Tap there and a list of ringtones will appear.Select the one you want.That's all i think

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] younix258:
Worst case scenario, you can do the UnBrickable mod... notice there are TWO threads for this in the first few pages of the android dev section..

If youd rather not go there, keep trying to get odin to recognize by: first reinstall drivers on that computer, try different usb cable/port, try gb bootloader key combo and froyo bootloader combos (pull batt and let it sit for a few minutes before each try to make sure its really off).

If you have a diff cable on a diff port on a comp with freshly installed drivers (32bit on a 32bit machine or 64bit on a 64bit machine [or you could try mix and match]) and you try both key combos and it NEVER gets seen by odin, kill yourself.

Kidding... at that point, you can do the unbrickable mod or go to mobiletechvideos dot com (i think thats the ssite) and have them charge you to fix it.

Explicit enough?

[Defy General] gadgetcraze:
This is another one of those stuck on Motorola Logo thread. I tried to search but could not find a problem similar to mine.

I have a rooted defy in India, which was running 2.2.

I followed the steps given in one of the guides here, rooted the phone and installed CM7 on it.

Things were going well for a month now but today I decided to play around with it. I installed the recovery here http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-944543 and made an android backup. I rebooted the phone but was getting into the M logo with blue LED flashing for a while. I pressed the vol down and entered into boot menu and changed the default to "normal stock". Now I can not boot my phone and am stuck on M logo. I can go to stock recovery though.

What do I do from here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Defy General] ryan8r:
CM7 has 2ndinit preinstalled which consists of a custom recovery menu. Why don't you guys read FAQs.

Here's what you can do. Enter the Bootmenu goto Custom recovery and reinstall CM7, you wont lose your apps and settings. Wipe Dalvik cache and reboot.
[Defy General] gadgetcraze:
I can no more access custom recovery. If I press the power button, and vol down, I get the triangle with exclamation from where I can go to stock recovery.
[Defy General] qelavidamelleve:
why did you install that recovery!!!!?? cm7 already has it!! if you dont mind to lose your data, i think you should reinstall cm7 from the begining, cause i'm pretty sure wipe data from stock recovery wont work
[Defy General] gadgetcraze:
Thanks for the help. I only had stock recovery, which does not have the option for nandroid. That's the reason I flashed this recovery. I don't mind losing data. Where do I begin? The only thing I can access right now is stock recovery. :(

How long should the Dingo downgrade take?

I tried starting at step 11, and the Google Signin got caught in a force-close loop, so I went with the reset and try from scratch.

It is an endless loop and I need to reset ermine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] turkee:
Got a PE from w00t. My notes so far:

Accidentally tried installing allmine before ermine. System would lock up on the 3rd dot of the reboot sequence, so I had to downgrade to Dingo.

Installing ermine via microSD just caused the system to continually reboot. I eventually got tired of holding the menu/rotate buttons. Tried installing ermine via usb, and it actually came up with the updating screen. Worked!

Will try allmine next...

EDIT:

Allmine appears to have installed fine. Should have read more carefully, as that bit about holding down on the username field to select gingerbread keyboard tripped me up. It's having trouble connecting to google's servers though. Not sure what that is, since my WiFi's connected...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daoist:
Whoops! Yeah it should be done in under a half hour. If it waits that long, reset your PE via the paperclip hole and then try again with dingo.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daoist:
Does it FC right at start or later?

Could you do the 4-corners method to bypass the setup wizard?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5XjF6sPef4

If that works for you, could you let us know?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daoist:
See my previous post about bypassing the setup wizard.

If that doesn't work for you, then you can go back to ermine.

The easiest (and probably quickest) way to do that is to downgrade to dingo and then back up to ermine.

Dingo is a destructive update (wipes your PE). Ermine is not. So if you just try to re-upgrade to ermine it will leave the Allmine changes in place. That's why you need to go back to Dingo first.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daoist:
Can you see what the contents of /system/serial_number is? It should have a hexadecimal number with 14 digits. If it is not, can you let me know what it is?

The easiest way to do this is open your browser and navigate to:

file:///system/serial_number

(note that's 3 slashes at the beginning)

Released new version to fix a bunch of bugs and add proper rooting.

See first post for details.

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] turkee:
I found the file but all it had was "0"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daoist:
well that sucks.

Here's how to fix it.

You will need a terminal emulator app, like connectbot (http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/)

Look at the spine of your PE. The serial number is written there. You need to break it in half after the first 8 characters, insert a 0, and then the rest of the serial.

So if your serial is BF30144123456, your new serial would be BF301441 + 0 + 23456 = BF301441023456

Okay, now that you've got that, log in to your PE, and perform the following commands:

$ su
# mount -o rw,remount ubi:system /system
do_mount: do_mount: dev ubi:system dir /system type none flags 0x8020 loop 0
do_mount: calling mount: dev ubi:system dir /system s none rwflag 0x8020
# cat /system/serial_number
# echo BF301441023456 > /system/serial_number
# cat /system/serial_number
BF301441023456
# sync
# mount -o ro,remount ubi:system /system
do_mount: do_mount: dev ubi:system dir /system type none flags 0x8021 loop 0
do_mount: calling mount: dev ubi:system dir /system s none rwflag 0x8021

And now restart your PE.

What we just did there was:

1. ask for root rights

2. remount your system partition so you can write to it (normally you can't for safety)

5. checked the contents of the serial number file

4. wrote your new serial number into the file

5. checked to make sure it worked

6. Make really sure that the changes are saved

7. remounted your system partition read-only

USB and SD card formatting

For the USB flash drive and sd card used in the different reversion/upgrade steps, is it important if they are fat32 formatted, and for actions is there a limit on the size of the card that is recognized?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daoist:
I doubt it'll work with an ntfs formatted stick. Not sure what drivers the PE has default. If you're having trouble go ahead and reformat your flash drive to fat32 to see if that helps.

I know of no size limitations. The microSD card I test with is 2gb and the flash drive I test with is 32gb. My guess is if there is a limitation it is probably at the 32gb limit.

Just for anyone interested...I managed to get the Ermine update installed successfully, ALL Gapps installed successfully and I'm able to use the Market and was able to upgrade to the latest version of market and can browse every single app/game/book and download whatever I choose.

It took me awhile but I finally got it. Once I completed that, I'm now working on ClockWorkMod. I've managed to get it to install and I'm able to reboot into it but the functionality is extremely limited at this point. I think I'm going to actually try TeamWin's Recovery and see if I can manipulate that to work in place of CWM.

If anyone needs help with Gapps and Market upgrade and the ability to browse and install anything/everything, I'd be glad to help. I won't be around until later this evening but I have XDA on my Epic 4G and can reply to some things while I'm with clients.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] corvettejoe:
Daoist... thanks for the writeup and files.

I had mine rooted, updated, etc already, so I just skipped to step 11 in your instructions.

The only issue I ran into was it had been a while since I updated it last (it's sat, wiped and ready to sell in the box for months now, but I can't get rid of it now, its not worth anything anymore, so I decided to keep it around).... anyhow.. so while I was holding the power on buttons to update it... and holding... and holding ....and holding... then I tried another thumbdrive and boom, worked right away.

The updates went through smoothly and when it all came back up I was welcomed to the google setup screen.

The ONLY issue I had so far was that once I finally got into the market, it FC one time, but has not done it since, and I was able to use it like normal. Gmail came up fine with all my emails. Totally awesome.

Thanks again! I can finally uninstall all the "alternative" markets, ditch all the APK's I had to manually find and load, etc.... this is awesome! Thanks so much!

I originally bought the PocketEdge on Woot as my "training tablet/ereader" for myself and the wife to see if we wanted either/or device. I then went on to get the Asus Transformer for myself, and then later on we both got Kobo Touches when they came out. I sold the other PE I had for the originaly Woot price ($150) pretty quickly, and then was stuck with this second one, then it kept showing up on woot for less and less and then I couldn't move it anymore. I think I'm going to use it for my garage band for all the guitar tab apps and lyrics and such now. The tablets are great tools for music.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daoist:
Great idea!

I'm not a musician but I bet that if nothing else, the beefy hinge on the PE makes it pretty good for standing up and showing you your music while you play.

Un-root?

Thanks so much!

Bought a used unit which had already been updated to 2.2

Followed the procedures starting at step 11 and it works flawlessly.

Curious if there is a way to un-root?

Google video works but indicates that video playback/rental is not allowed on rooted devices?

unroot solved

May have figured it out.

Read another thread indicating Z4Root works on the PEdge.

Installed and it indicated I was rooted but offered to unroot.

Also had root permanent and root temporary.

Selected unroot and it rebooted. Ran it again and unroot not offered so I presume it's unrooted!

Didn't have time to test Google video but will post later if it works...

Hi everybody.

Super silly question: since I had upgraded to Ermine, I started the procedure for allmine at step 11, Got the update file, renamed, got the gapps file, renamed, etc.

Everything seemed to work fine, since it upgrated the software and so on, but nothing has changed...

Moreover, when I try to download an app from the market, it says that no device is associated. I had already created a google account, and the PE doesn't ask to sign when I reboot.

I read that the PE should be "recognized" like a Nexus One, is there any opportunity to check this?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daoist:
Are you on the market website, or market on the PE? Based on what you describe, it sounds like you're on the website.

You need to add your google account to your PE, and then open the market app on the PE at least once for it to get hooked up properly.

To add your account, go into settings, then accounts and sync, then add a new google account.
