[Defy General] gamefrk:
Can I use this video to install CyanogenMod 7.1 on my Defy? Is it accurate enough? If not, then what modifications will I have to make?

http://youtu.be/JzjWZ-OsLZ4

Q.1 Does CM7.1's battery life really suck in comparison to the stock ROM?

Q.2 Is there any way with which I can flash CM7.1 to try it out for a few weeks & switch back to my stock ROM in case I'm not satisfied with CM7.1?

Q.3 My stock ROM is de-blurred by Motorola itself. What are the improvements that CM7.1 offers over Froyo?

I had the stock rom installed but I had recovery on it and I decided to just load the new rom on it and I didn't realize I was suppose to root the phone before flashing. So basically everything was a little weird. When it started and was at the unlock screen it said sim card is locked and I don't have a sim card. Then later when looking at the sd card it was saying -- for the available space and space used. I tried to format it and it said please wait while calculating and was showing some odd algebra equation. Then it just did a soft reset and basically showed the IHO boot screen then the loading screen. No LG icon thus being a soft reset. But that is all it would do. And upon trying to shut it off it was showing no option to shut off just a bunch of odd icons and one saying airplane mode or something with a power icon next to it. So I chose it and it was saying something like reset and it had menu for a title. So I chose it and it shut off. So I was just wanting to make sure that if I rooted it before re installing the IHO that this would clear up those issues.

I have this installed on my phone: Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_VM_Recovery-signed and I use it to get the phone formated with a new rom. I know that I can get a custom rom on the phone perfectly fine when it is rooted. I guess since I did it without it being rooted it somehow made things look corrupt after installing the rom without the phone being rooted. I hope that it will work properly when I get the phone re rooted and install the latest version of the rom I use: BACKside-IHO-VM670-11022011 this is the first rom I ever used to get on my phone so I was thinking of sticking with it unless there is a more stable one that performs better and can run most anything thrown at it. As I have run into a few issues with this rom. I can end up having things run off the sd card and they end up crashing the phone and doing a hard reset as well as games or apps not wanting to work at all and give a force close error. I am really wanting to play annoying orange kitchen carnage I have even tried a stock rom at 2.2.1 and it still didn't work. Is there a specific kernel I should be installing or something?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] devloomax:
Today I was updating my android rom (one of the first nands) and I've updated magldr and installed CWM.

Then I installed a new rom with CWM and after reboot he keeps showing the bootscreen of the rom, I've tried another rom and it's the same...

Can anybody help me?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
The most common reason for being stuck at bootscreen is improper partition size. You sure you got that right?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] devloomax:
I've taken the largest partition size (400mb)...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
you don't take the largest, but rather the most suitable. (or the one stated in the rom's thread) you should also take into consideration whether the rom NEEDS sd-ext or not.

What rom do you want to use/upgrade?

Have you met the requirements? (sd-ext/system partition/cache/radio)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] devloomax:
I've a EU 512mb HTC HD2. I don't know my rom anymore that I used but I think its a darkforce froyo rom...

I've parted my sd with cwm: 1024ext, 64mb swap and used the 400mb CWM

Now I want to install the Runnymede 3.5 or the Desire HD 3.06.405.1 - Sense 3.0 - Android 2.3.5 [v1.4][RAFPIGNA 1.9GB], i don't know which one is better...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
okay for the first one (runnymede) you need 6/200/8. that means

200mb system partition

, 6 boot partition and 8 cache partition. AND A 1GB SD-EXT

And for the second one you need 5/155/5. which means

155mb system partition

and 5 megs for both cache and boot. AND YOU NEED 1GB SD-EXT.

Neither of these ROMs will run under a 400mb system partition ~!

And remember, always wash your hands and wipe your phone/sd before attempting another rom ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] devloomax:
Thank you very much, I'll try it ...

And does anyone know wath's the better rom of this 2?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Slagers:
Can some1 explain how i change those setting? I want the same rom (runnymede) but it stays stuck in the bootloader screen

*I change the Sd-ext part. in 1024 but how do i change the 200 mb settings and the 6 boot part.?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
If you're using the old method, then look for a file called config.cfg, edit that using any file editor.

But if you're using the NAND Toolkit, you can edit them by selecting the desired partition from the panels on the left or the right, depending on your bootloader, and the cache is just right below those panels.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Slagers:
can you give me more info please. I dont use the Nand toolkit were can i download it because all download links are down for the HD2 Toolkit. I dont now what file you mean

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dioky:
Hi there,

After 2 days external speaker has gone dead!

Tried wiping, factory reset, hard reset, and all over again. Nothing-zilch-zero :mad:

Found on XDA and elsewhere that Samsung has quite a track record on this particular problem, with GS, GSII and yet with my GN...

Any other reports on this?

Will return mine now.

Regards,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nnick:
Keep us posted with updates please....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
Sorry to hear about your external speaker problem and having to return your note, what a bummer. I didn't realise Samsung had quite a track record on faulty external speakers. Can you post some links in case I get the same problem? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] siamchen:
I think that just bad luck.

I also have the dead external speaker on my HD2 before and the replacement of that letting me break one of the WIFI anternal.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dioky:
Just Google on Samsung External Speaker Dead.

Regards,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] scaots:
Just happened to me. I was listening to a podcast and suddenly no sound. I thought it was Google Listen which seems to occasionally pause for no reason on my N1, but it was still playing. Restarted and tried messing with volume and mutes. BT still works but speaker won't come back. I was using it at full volume if that has anything to do with it.

And I have had it for 8 days.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
if you google for an issue on any manufacturer, you're likely to get hits on it specially when the device is popular
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CyberGhos:
Lord, why's so many things wrong with Samsung phone? I just purchased a Note without reading the forums before buying. Hope mine doesnt cause me any headache or this will be my last Samsung phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] scaots:
I really don't think this is a widespread issue. Google only reveals this case (now two) and I found a few captivate issues. So it seems pretty isolated.

I found if I put the volume all the way up and hold my ear to the external speaker, that I can just hear it. Will have a chance to back up in a bit and try resetting everything and see if anything helps. Otherwise not looking forward to shipping this back overseas to Samsung for service since I had it a few more days than I thought and Handtec has 10 day policy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] scaots:
UPDATE: Samsung UK said to contact Handtec who was easy to work with and provided RMA. Part that stinks is that it will be about two weeks before I get a replacement, because shipping overseas in any expedited means was stupidly expensive.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] plasket:
Scaots, did you get any other warranty or are you using Samsungs warranty? Did you have any hoops to jump through for them to honor the warranty even though you're in the US?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bamboo12:
did u try and clean out the headphone jack? (maybe with compressed air/ electronic cleaner)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] scaots:
Handtec was no hassle. They had me fill out a form and issued an RMA. Shipping back to UK is a hassle. Expediting would be crazy expensive so going to be another week before I get one back. Still have to find out if I get reimbursed for that.

It's a problem with the device speaker. Headphones work fine and so does the earpiece. If something was activating the headphone jack audio then earpiece audio would also be trying to playback through the jack rather than the earpiece.

is there a way to change the move to unlock lockscreen to slide to unlock style?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alacrify:
Only way I've seen (haven't looked much) is Go Launcher with Go lock screen - it has a "slide to unlock" lock theme.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Adelaide.:
Widgetlocker, you can find it in the market. You can customize your lock screen pretty much any way you want. If you search on xda (I think it is in an android development section) there is a huge thread with Widgetlocker themes you can use to get ideas and different sliders and such.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xAnimal5:
You can also cook one up in the UOT kitchen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jsmith8858:
Have you actually done this for the AT&T GS2? Does it work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Adelaide.:
Probably, becuase you can upload your own framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk. Someone who has actually used the kitchen will have to confirm. The kitchen is worth checking out, but seriously get widgetlocker. The iphone slide to unlock theme is one of the defaults.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wonner:
I tried and it did not work. Some theming worked (icons and stuff), some did not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nickshertzer:
Check out Magic Locker, like widget locker, but free.

https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.lockscreen.magiclocker

There are themes for Android 4 ring, Sense 3, Samsung puzzle lock, iPhone slide, and many many more.

Or come to the CM7 side of the force. It has built in themes for Ring, slide, rotary, lense, etc.

does widgetlocker drain battery? i read frm otoher places that it does and others that it really doesnt.

Edit: installed widget locker. And ive lost 3% in 30 some minutes. Oh well, time to remove.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Adelaide.:
I've experienced zero drain issues with widget locker. No wakelocks, no excessive CPU usage etc. I lose just under 1% an hour on idle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] abacon15:
Widgetlocker messed up both my and my gf's phones. I think its that wakelock you referred to? It would be fine and then it would go to sleep and not wake up, we'd have to pull the battery just to get it back. Pretty upsetting because we both liked it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Adelaide.:
That isn't a wakelock, that is a sleep of death (SOD). A wakelock is where the phone is forced to stay awake by an app or process even though the screen is off and the phone is supposed to be sleeping. A SOD can be caused by a lot of things depending on the phone and what you've done to it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueone:
I have a htc desire with the alpharev bootloader(CM7 r2). I am stucked with the htc screen with the signs in every corner. I tried this guide:

I am S-off but the android flasher doesn't recognize my phone (I doesn't show any log line in the program and just hangs) . The android-usb-driver is installed and I can see the device in de device manager from windows. When I try to reflash it with a RUU I get error 152, image update error and a failed with the "system" part.

Does someone know what I am doing wrong? I tried it with Windows 7 And a clean XP installation (without htc sync)

When I try it with the sdk tools I got this:

C:\tools>fastboot.exe flash recovery c:\hboot.img

sending 'recovery' (512 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image error! (BootMagic check fail))
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
make sure you've installed fastboot drivers.. then try again. Also error 152 means you don't have a goldcard. This is necessary.

Or if you're lazy and you don't want to faff with all that.. you could try a quite risky procedure (because if something goes wrong there's no un-f*cking it) and flash the 2.3.3 RUU from HTCdev.com which requires you to do nothing but run the RUU.

[HTC Sensation] M1stral:
Hi all,

I tried some searching, before I started this one. And I allready want to offer my apologizies if I overlooked something. There is so much info on these boards.

Anyway. I have a Sensation which I've S-off'ed with the Revolutionary tool. After that I changed CID and installed a stock HTC ROM (I came from Vodafone branded).

I've read trhough Mike's thread for ARHD and instructions on installing it, but it only mentions that I should flash it using the Recovery that's coming with the Revolutionary tool.

Should I run the Revolutionary tool again (I allready gained S-Off) and install the the recovery, or is it just possible to install the recovery alone? And if so, where can I find the version that comes with Revolutionary?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] beeroge:
Since you are S-Off just download the ARHD zip and place it on your SD card. Then open bootloader...etc and it will install :)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Your best bet is to download 4EXT(check my sig),which is like a next generation recovery tool,and install it.

Place the new ROM on the root of your sd card,together with a super wipe zip.

Then ,from your homescreen you can open 4EXT ,go to recovery,install zip from your sd card.

Choose the super wipe zip,followed by the new ROM.

Hit proceed and wait.

:)
[HTC Sensation] M1stral:
Thanks man,

I'll have to read up a bit. I'm kinda new to all this. Since everyone was mentioning CWM I thought it was the only way to do it.

But if I'm not mistaken, I install EXT4 while running OS? And next time it boots, you have a different recovery. I'm used to only seeing HBOOT :P
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Go to settings >power,and make sure fast boot is UNCHECKED.

This will enable you to enter recovery.

Install EXT4 while running OS.

One of the best aspects of 4EXT ,is that you do almost everything from your home screen.

:)
[HTC Sensation] M1stral:
Wow, thanks for the information. I appreciate that.

Will go at work with it and get ARHD to run, instead of the stock one. The reactions on the releases at Mike's thread are all really good. And it's nice that is has stock look and Sense.

Only doubting on which one to install, the 3.x.x or the 4.x.x. I believe it has to do with Sensation vs. Sensation XE ROM, but if Beats Audio is the only difference (which I guess, is not :P) than it shouldn't matter which one I take.

Any suggestions on it? I'm just an average user.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I suggest you start with 3.6.5 ,which is a Sense 3.0 ROM ,and see how you get on.

4.1.6 is a Sense 3.5 ROM,but it is still a test ROM,and therefore not 100% functional.

[Nook Color General] pavlos46:
OK so it seems we are getting a new version 1.4.

[Nook Color General] pavlos46:
Well it seems both Nook Tablet and Nook Color are getting 1.4.

Would that mean that it could be based on something higher than Froyo.

Since B&N is marketing theit new product as a tablet that could probably link to a tablet os for both devices.

Maybe...
[Nook Color General] tomsheeley:
How does 1.4 effect...

While the news sites are touting the new "stuff" in NC 1.4, how will this effect those of us with Rooted NC's? ( remeber the problem the 1.3 upgrade had )

I look forward to some of the new apps, mostly the HuluPlus app... I wonder if that means they will be unblocking regular Hulu from us too?

[Nook Color General] ponyboy82:
I would say to hold off on updating if you can until xda either gives the go-ahead or has a procedure to follow.

As for Hulu -- I would assume regular Hulu will still be blocked, unfortunately. They seem to have a stance that everything but a PC is a mobile device and subject to different rules.
[Nook Color General] cabbieBot:
No idea about whether its going to be gingerbread.

The update is not out and wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't until nooktablet launch. The 1.1 update for the simple touch is out.

From what I can tell, there is going to be some sort of 'account management' app so you can handle gift cards and credit cards without the need of the browser. Netflix will be available as a download from the press quotes I'm seeing.

Does gingerbread give any DRM security that froyo doesn't? Because that might be the only reason why it would get bumped up to a new andoird version, to appease Hulu and Netflix (and their evil masters)
[Nook Color General] don_ernesto:
i think the most interesting thing is wether they updated the kernel version.....
[Nook Color General] iDidItAll4theNookie:
I'm impressed with B&N's support of the NC. You don't see this many updates on phones.
