[TouchPad General] TonyOHooligan:
I seem to have installed it but when I reboot and should be offered the chance to boot into WebOS or Cyanogen I am offered:

boot webOS

boot ClockworkMod

boot webOS recovery

reboot

shutdown

What have I done wrong and could it be qa case of just having to start again? I want to make sure that's safe, that's why I'm posting. Maybe I should add that I couldn't find the folder where the Novacom drivers were installed (on a mac Lion 7.2) so just typed this into Terminal

novacom boot mem:// </Users/tonyohooligan/Desktop/ACMEInstaller

Andy ideas?
[TouchPad General] atapia984:
There should be a "Space" after the "<" sign.

novacom boot mem:// < /Users/tonyohooligan/Desktop/ACMEInstaller

Did you place the GAPPS moboot Clockwork and CM7 .zip on the cminstall folder?

Also make sure you add "update-" at the beginning of every .zip

Hope that helps.
[TouchPad General] TonyOHooligan:
OK, there wasn't a space so there's something I have got wrong. Can I just start again from the beginning (placing the zip files in the cminstall folder, running ACMEInstaller etc) without damaging anything? Not sure about what you mean about adding 'update-' at the beginning of every .zip, is that to the start of the file name of each .zip if I attempt the procedure again? Thanks for replying BTW, much appreciated.
[TouchPad General] atapia984:
Yes the "update-" at the start of every files helps the ACMEInstaller identify everything properly. Give it a try again.

Good Luck.
[TouchPad General] TonyOHooligan:
Will do, I'll let you know how it goes....
[TouchPad General] TonyOHooligan:
Rather annoyingly I have got the same result, no Cyanogen option at the multi boot stage. All zip files have gone from the cminstall folder as well. I rather get the feeling that I need to erase everything and start again but have no idea how to do that...
[TouchPad General] TonyOHooligan:
I wonder if I use Clockwork Mod to install Cyanogen, reckon that will work?

Hmm, got a message saying that it can't open the zip (bad). Going to download that file (update-cm-7.1.0-tenderloin-a2.1-fullofbugs.zip) again.
[TouchPad General] atapia984:
Try running the ACMEUninstaller. You do so the same way you do the Installer and start all over again. Seems weird you cannot get it done. Are you sure the folder is "cminstall" and not CMinstall Cminstall etc?
[TouchPad General] TonyOHooligan:
OK, all installed, it was either the missing space or a dodgy .zip file. Either way thanks for taking the time to help me out atapia984 it is really appreciated.
[TouchPad General] atapia984:
Anytime Have fun. Keep a look around at some of the other threads for troubleshooting. It is all out there.

Sent from my PC36100.
[TouchPad General] TonyOHooligan:
Thought I should just outline what I did to put this right in case anyone else has the same problem. I downloaded the ACMEUninstaller from here:

http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...-cW9Cw&usg=AFQjCNHZTu7Aghf80vOjo4Pa7Feslo0SmA

and put it on the desktop. Then I made sure the Touchpad was connected via USB and put the Touchpad in recovery mode (reboot, hold down volume up before power comes back on again) then opened the Terminal and typed:

novacom boot mem:// < /Users/tonyohooligan/Desktop/ACMEUninstaller

This deleted everything from the Touchpad. I then followed the instructions again and this time Cyanogen installed perfectly. Seems like a pretty damn good Alpha version as well, haven't had a crash yet. Thanks once again to atapia for all the help.
[TouchPad General] TonyOHooligan:
One last thing atapia, is there anywhere to report bugs as I find them without getting on the devs nerves?
[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
Hi,

First post (yay!) so I have a few questions:

1. Where is the 'thanks' button? There are loads of you I wanted to thank but it has not shown up on my forums where the help section said it would be. Has shown up now - guess I had to make a post before I could thanks people

2. I have the emmc chip that is prone to failure but after reading the forums it seems there may be a way to recover from it - is that right, and the chip is no longer a big problem? (Absolutely cannot afford to brick this phone as it's a present from a wife already angry that I rooted it)

3. Should I try to upgrade my HBOOT to 2.00.2002 and Radio (to what? the PCIMG88.zip from the Chinese website?) and install a new ROM, or try and revert everything back to s-on, unrooted stock rom and wait for the official update that is rolling out now in the UK? I'd prefer the option with the least chance of stress and bricking the phone.

4. After flashing a new ROM (if I do) I understand I should avoid updating/installing apps at the same time so my emmc chip isn't fried - can I reinstall 1 by 1 from Titanium backup, and won't Google start trying to download and install everything else at once? How do I avoid that?

I'm in the UK on T-Mobile PAYG with (I think) an unbranded Desire S

[HTC Desire S] loukasz:
1.look at bottom right corner

4.if u restore all apps with titanium backup at once its ok, i think..

but when u setup your phone dont add google account to sync your app..

restore your apps and then add it..

take a look to ben_pyett signature for some useful links..
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Theses are just my opinions

Thanks button to bottom right of each post next to edit button,

Don't bother upgrading you're hboot to 2.xx.xxxx (not yet any benefit)

Don't bother going back to s-on.

Don't pull battery.

I'd try to install the normal ENG bootloader over your revolutionary one if you can.

I'd also suggest installing the 4 EXT recovery instead of Cwm.

Don't do anything to you're device that you don't fully understand.

You've done the most difficult part making your device s-off now install some quality custom roms and enjoy it.

Always take full nandroid device backups prior to performing any steps on your device, so that you have a safe point to roll back to in case of problems.

When installing a new custom ROM don't enter your google account details until the last stage of the setup after the device had stopped all configuration, then go into the market app and check to see of it's installing any apps, if it is then cancel downloads, only some versions of market attempt the parallel download of several apps which has been linked to killing eMMC. Later one download one application at a time which seems ok..add suggested advice I also use titanium backup app to restore my apps after the new installation of a ROM rather than relying on market installs.

There is now more information on the eMMC issue, what was previously thought of a dead device can now be recovered but each instance is unique.

Enjoy

[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
Guys,

Thanks for the replies - when I asked about the Thanks button it wasn't there, it only appeared after I posted so that is sorted now.

Ben, I do have 4EXT already installed and a backup, this isn't my first android phone but I would still class myself as a noob - I think I know what I'm doing generally but probably don't.

I think I might try for the ENG Hboot if I can find that post but I thought I would need the 2.00.2002 Hboot for sense 3.0 roms.

What is the advantage of the ENG Hboot over the revolutionary one?

Also, I'm wondering if I will receive an OTA option to update since I have s-off and rooted - I'm pretty sure I should not accept as it looks like some people have been experiencing problems trying to install the OTA over their non-stock phones/settings.

Can anyone confirm that:

1) my phone would see the update if it rolls out and

2) I should not install it unless I go back to stock rom and s-on?

Installing a new ROM will alert my wife to the fact I have rooted it so I'm in no hurry until I decide I can't live without some spectacular new features :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yep, DO NOT INSTALL THE OTA :)

^when you are rooted and s-off.

It will lead to problems.

I'd really suggest you try out Hyperion ROM/Saga 3D

They are like the stock ROMs with sense 3.0 (new OTA based)

They are optimised and better than the stock ota anyway :)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You shouldn't even consider OTA updates unless you're S-ON and STOCK....

certainly don't try it on a rooted device, just asking for trouble...I always simply disable the check for updates and Tell HTC features..

There are benefits to having ENG HBOOT (although I'm not 100% of all of them) I believe that you're able to downgrade easier, should you require the HBOOT number also doesn't stand out like a sore thumb......6.xx.xxxx should you want to return device!

All the new Sense 3.0 and Sense 3.5 ROMS work on old HBOOT, so just no point in upgrading, I did the upgrade before I released this and it's not worth going back.

EDIT: You also need to have a word with the misses! ;) It's now your phone so you should be able to do what you want to it - whatever makes you happy!! :rolleyes::D
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Was the hboot update 2.xxxx official, or was it from the Goapk forums?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Mine? think it was from the forums, but, same version number as OTA released HBOOT? why do you ask?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Oh, just wondering, as i never saw the update posted officially...

So if it is official, why does the official sense 3.0 rom not make full use of the new partitions?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I believe this is because the cooks have made it this way.....My understanding is that the "official" S-On OTA upgrade installs the new version HBOOT and makes use of this new layout.

Someone correct me if this is wrong?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Oh right !

How can a OTA install a new hboot, radio, and complete new UI, but the user doesn't lose any data ?!

It's strange .. when we want to upgrade, we have to do a full wipe :(
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanswj:
Hello there!

I have a 'bricked' rooted Wildfire which will not boot. However, it is able to enter adb mode.

I have tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691639, but "adb reboot fastboot" does not do anything.

adb logcat shows the system trying to start up, but there is absolutely nothing on the phone's screen.

Anyone has any idea?

Thanks!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiranmotha:
Is it s-off? If so you can try Fastboot flash of a safe stock rom.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanswj:
Hi thanks for your reply!

No it isn't s-off'd.

adb reboot fastboot only makes the phone reboot to normal mode... nothing on the screen :(

RUU doesn't work - it waits for bootloader then times out!

Thanks for your help ;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDeveloperX:
Go to revolutionary IRC and they can help you. I can give you some help. If ADB detects the phone type adb reboot boatloader. Then if bootloader shows up, run the RUU. ;)

Can we add Lockscreen Music Control and Other Lockscreen to Stock 2.3.3 ROM? I don't want to use apps like Widget Locker :(

Please help me if you know , Thank you first :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MaKTaiL:
I don't know. I guess it's a feature only available in Android 2.3.5-2.3.7 and up. Try installing Root Toolbox from the market. There is a feature to install Cyanogen apps from it. Maybe it has what you are looking for.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thachtunganh:
The Root ToolBox just help you to install the DSP Manager and some other things but not the Lockscreen Music Control and Other Lockscreen , If you want the Lockscreen Music Control and Other Lockscreen Styles , you have to Decompile the framework-res.apk of your ROM and Modify it... That's All i know about Mod the Lockscreen , but i don't know how to modify , i just know to decompile , edit xml , blah blah....
[Xoom General] antila:
Hello!

Can't find where and how can I move some apps to SD Card in Motorola Xoom. I know about some apps like "App 2 SD" but can't find it in the Settings / Manage application. Like it in the Gingerbread.

Can somebody tell me where to look?

Is it possible ?
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
On the Xoom /sdcard is a partition of your internal storage, so moving apps to SD has no benefit.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Impaque:
Hello,

Can anyone recommend me the most barebone, ie. trimmed down, just-the-basics, "spartan" 32A Magic Gingerbread ROM? New radio or old, doesn't matter.

Battery life is the priority and I just need the default Gingerbread theme, CM7 Gapps flash possible (Gingerbread 2.3.5?), no themes, no bells and whistles. I want it to be light at memory usage: definitely no swap, no compcache if possible.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, guys.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tvall:
The best* gingerbread rom for the 32b/32a old radio is ezgingerbread. Its fast, petty light, and can handle any task you throw at it.**

It can be found in the g1 development section. You might also want to try ads-magpie(can be found in the signature of AnDiSa [could be wrong. Going from memory here]). Its based o ezgingerbread with a few added features and more frequent releases.

*"best" here is entirely the opinion of tvall. What's best for me might not be best for you (but I've never seen anyone who used ezgb or ads-magpie complain or say another gingerbread rom was faster)

**opinion based on my (and many other peoples)personal experience with the rom. Yours may vary.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Impaque:
You, sir, are a champ. Thank you for your feedback! Will report how it went.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] fakharotta:
Did you try it yet?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Impaque:
I tried Ezterry's Ezgingerbread and I must say it's pretty light, especially if you take it with Zeam launcher (update .zip included in his thread). Works as intended, lots of free space and RAM. The only thing which I find peculiar is that it runs on lower default CPU speed than CM6, but nothing SetCPU can't solve. Pretty stable, pretty fast ROM. I'm going to stick with this ROM for a while.

Question: If I update mi cellphone from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6... will I lose root privilegies? (updating by cellphone menu)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotrodder:
Hi, im looking at the posibility of installing one of these into the dash of my Jaguar XK8 to use for GPS, media playback, OBD etc. Most of it shound be relatively straightforward looking around the forums.

Sound wise I can link to my head units auxilary input.

GPS looks possible using a bluetooth GPS.

OBD again using a bluetooth device in conjuction with Torque in android.

Possible link up for reversing camera if i use a USB tv tuner maybe?

Power wise i can use a car charger hidden away inside the dash. Question though, will the unit automatically power on if it receives an AC charge in the case where the battery has run flat and the device has turned off beyond being in a suspend mode?

Is pretty much everything controllable on screen? My current plan would leave no access to hard buttons.

USB host - can I connect to a laptop hard drive using a usb to ide adapter? Just thinking for my 100gb media hard disc.

Think that is most of the stuff covered really.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrulri:
Yes, root your tablet, use any by linux kernel supported device and some development skills and you're ready to go. idk a out-of-the-box solution.

I got my A101 just for development stuff and put the charger in a power strip with a switch. when I turn the power strip on, the A101 just starts up

the only button would be the power button for shutdown or reboot or the volume control. you would have to have a widget or an app for volume control.

yesno, depends on how much power the harddisc draws. but if you like to attach a camera or livetv adapter as well you have to use an powered usb hub anyway :)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotrodder:
Wow, thanks for your response... looks like it will do anything that i originally wanted really, which is good news!

Im looking at maybe getting a 7 inch archos - what has prompted this is that I just made the move to android from a windows mobile and so far im dead impressed with it. I also previously had a full windows PC in a car that was unfortunately damaged. Im just looking at fitting something into my replacement car and i thought that a full windows PC is less ideal than an android machine.

I still have my old USB GPS device, which I believe has linux drivers - am I right in saying that if it has linux drivers then it may be possible to get it working under android?

For the most part i cant see the lack of hard keys being a problem. Volume up / volume down will be taken care of by my head unit - so i can set and forget the volume (should be able to set it on screen initially yeah?). Reboot can be handled on screen as well - so far I havent experienced android crashing or freezing, but is this something that tends to happen? If so i guess that will be my biggest problem point.

Also - this is a real long shot - does anyone know if the Archos 70 IT's that are brought as 8gb still have internal laptop hard drive connectors - if so i can just drop in an internal hard drive rather than use usb host.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotrodder:
After having a look at units in store I decided to go with the G9 Archos 80. So far im liking it a lot, its speedy, has a full size usb port on the back which allows me to access my laptop hard drive via a USB -> ide adapter and turns on as soon as it gets power - and has working sat nav. 90% of my goals are already met - just needs some soft finessing and installation in car. Just hoping someone roots the thing soon so I can get her to shutdown / reboot via an app.

[Acer Iconia A500] joshndroid:
okay so i got the a500 today...

checked... it had 3.2 and downgraded to 3.0.1 and i just get reboots all the time.. i did a factory reset aswell to make sure user data from 3.2 was the problem... the same still happens, updated to 3.1 wiped user data again still happens... went back to 3.0.1 wiped user still again..

deadset about to hurl this thing... i cant get to turn on adb becuz it will freeze before i get there...

edit... after babying it for 4 hours... i have finally got the needed apps installed... i know its against the rules but the only way was by downloading them with my xoom and then installing the apk manually with adb... sorry thor if that has pissed you off.. but seriously 3.0.1 was killing me...
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
The 3.01 ROM is riddled with issues, but the point of it was to be able to downgrade from 3.2.

This might sound like a silly question since it seems you are quite familiar with honeycomb tablets and rooting/intalling custom ROMS on them, but did you wipe the cache and dalvik cache?
[Acer Iconia A500] joshndroid:
yeh mate definitely...

the problems still continue now that ive gotten onto a custom rom... stuff crashes and the device reboots constantly when it is under relative load (ie just clicking on an app spurs a crash/reboot/freeze... i only got it today and this is seriously bogus... i have fixed permissions dalvik, and cache wipes as im really keen to get this going... flashed 2.1, then 2.1b, then 2.2 to see if the update process would eliminate which it doesnt... tried then installing custom kernel, that doesnt fix it either...

edit: by the way i wipes user data heaps aswell...

any way i can get the stock recovery.img and 3.2 (i can probably just use an update.zip for that) so i can hurl this thing at the people who sold it to me... gah

sorry just spent 6-7 hours on this and nothing... my xoom was hard but man this is impossible
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
It's funny that you state that this tab is "impossible", yet we literally have monkeys on this forum who have downgraded, then installed a pre-rooted ver of HC 3.2 with no issues like you're describing.

I've made mistakes early on with this tab when I first got it, and it was usually from missing one small step in a procedure. Have a look at "pilot error", and if you're certain you did everything correctly, you have two options.

#1) Return the tablet as it's obviously a hardware issue.

#2) Call a Catholic priest to do an exorcism on your tablet, because it's possessed! :eek:

;)
