Waiting for your lapdock500 review, i am about to order myself one.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] yyhd:
Pictures would be nice! :]
[Motorola Droid RAZR] buellwinkle:
I'm also happy with my Atrix LapDock, paid $99 shipped from eBay. I just pulled the 2 connectors out of the unit and plug them in my phone that way. It's flat (the 500 is not), it's thin, and I like the 11.5" screen size, same size and weight as my Macbook Air 11.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MiGeCh:
Could you please post some pics of the arrangement . Thx
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2newbie:
Hello,

I just bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S2 over the weekend (probably a France version because the quick start up menu is in French). Everything nice and adorable, except for the roaming signal I got on the phone.

This is normally not a concern if I stay in Toronto (my local zone), but it has potential issues on the data/voice usage because of the two reasons combined:

1. I have to allow Data while Roaming to enable the 3G network when I am out and about, otherwise I don't have a data network.

2. The real problem is, now I don't know when I am in my local zone and when I am actually roaming out of Toronto. The roaming charge for data is appalling to say the least, so I don't want to accidentally incur any roaming data charge while I am driving outbound.

Does anyone know how to fix the roaming signal problem?

Thanks.

Hey guys:

I've got tons of comicbooks on my storage card that keeps showing up as individual folders in my picture gallery. I know I could drop a "no media" file in the main folder to stop it, but then my other apps wont read anything in that folder as well correct? Is their any way to exclude the comicbook folder from the gallery?

thanks

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MitchRapp:
call me crazy, but I have a feeling the easiest solution is to create a .nomedia file and put it in the folder you want to hide.... ooooor I could be 100% wrong.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fokus:
You are crazy ;-) does not work here.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuckFinn:
This does not solve your problem, but may be an alternate solution. I use a gallery replacement called QuickPic. Inside of QuickPic you can choose which folders are hidden so you only see the ones you want.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun0207:
I've heard of QuickPic. But I really like the stock Gallery. And if I put a no media file in that folder,, my comicbook reader apps wont see the files either right?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t.d.k:
Actually, all you have to do is rename the folder or file and put a "." at the start of the name. So a folder called "my_pron" renamed ".my_pron" won't show up :)

It's probably worth noting that you should do the rename on your tab and not from your PC, I had problems with it not working when I did it via my PC, that's why I mention it. I used Astro File manager and it works just fine.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burden010:
Giggity...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerknight:
Kii Safe!

It's a program designed to be more along the lines of hiding naughty things, but it would allow you to move all your comics into a side gallery type section, plus once their there you can subdivide them into their own folders AGAIN so that you have individual comics in mini-galleries, with sorting by name or date possible to make for easy ordering.

Noteworthy item is that with the EI22 update yesterday, my app got wiped with the rest of my phone, but upon re-installing it and going through new-startup steps it found the SD card data from my previous installation - yay SD card!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun0207:
I have a app similar to this called Hide & Sneek. But I have to unhide pics everytime I need to use it. Will Keep safe allow me to hide the comics just from the Gallery , but let them be used in the Combook reader?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer4203:
Quit trying to hide the pron from her and you won't have issues! Or just if ya get caught freak out and claim you must have a virus! ;)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun0207:
lol. Not worried bout the porn pics. But when I have to scroll through the gallery to find the folders my real pics are in, its kinda annoying. See the attached.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] samkash911:
hi all,

First of all definately thanks to our amaizing dev naA for this wonderful rom.

i modify the framework-res.apk with transparent backround hope u people like. just move this by root explorer permission rw-r-r and enjoy. see attachment.

but one problem window transitions not working can anybody help me.

Thank you.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ChavitoArg:
thanks, nice work. what transitions?

EDIT1: You brick my phone, im lucky to have a backup. Once you replace framework this starts to give FC's

EDIT2: I renamed this to 1framework-res.apk moved to /system/framework , set permisions to:

x x o

x o o

x o o

rename again deleting the 1 , gives FC but reboot and is working, nice transitions i dont know what the problem is :) Thanks

EDIT3 :P : Some menues are not working properly, the only thing i see is my wallpaper sometimes, restore my backup again. but i like the idea, please modify
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I am not sure I am understanding this part of the post. HTC's bootloader unlock will allow us to flash this and boot images, but only via fastboot right? We can flash this recovery image via fastboot and use it to install roms right? We just need to flash this recovery image via fastboot/hboot and then flash the boot image for the rom via fastboot?

Or am I misunderstanding it that we cannot modify recovery or boot in any way (fastboot included) until we are supported by revolutionary?
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
With htc unlock this has to be flashed from hboot/fastboot. Also with only htc unlock you will not be able to flash a rom that contains a boot.img via recovery till full s-off is acheived. You can however flash the rom minus boot.img then flash boot.img via hboot/fastboot.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Ok. So technically we don't need S-Off, it would just be nice. And boot.imgs are easy to flash via hboot, just pop it in to a PH98img.zip. Obviously recovery would be more convenient, but atleast we don't need to wait for Revolutionary support assuming HTC Dev works.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
The name of the zip depends on the device. The Incredible uses PB31IMG.zip, the Evo uses PB36IMG.zip. Not sure about the Rezound though
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
Yes you need s-off. The htc unlock s-off is not a true full s-off. The htc dev unlock s-off lets you flash unsigned zips in hboot. However boot and recovery partitions are write protected unless flashed from bootloader. True s-off like revolutionary give writes acess to boot and recovery partitions outside of bootloader. I just notified everyone about not being able to flash boot.img in recovery with htc dev s-off its not a flaw of recovery but of htc unlock method.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Technically we don't need it though atleast if we are willing to flash via hboot/fastboot while we wait for revolutionary.
[HTC Rezound] .Elite_The_King.:
I believe their is one that has the s-off It's in themikmik forum the front page
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
Yes that was the device this recovery was tested on. Tester stated it was s on then unlocked by htc dev. Lets try to keep this thread on topic and have another thread about s-off.
[HTC Rezound] dsb9938:
Since we kinda need some sort of unlock to use this, and htcdev has removed the Rezound, it is actually on topic.

Has anybody gotten an early delivery of a shipped model that might be working on unlocking it?

D
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I am sure we will get S-Off one way or another.
[HTC Rezound] compchick813:
I've received mine and I have no idea how to figure out how to unlock it, but I would be willing to test if anyone has any ideas. I am experienced in rooting and romming my DX
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
Please respect my wishes and make a new thread about unlocking. I don't wish to comb pages and pages on this thread to have to get feedback and bug reports about recovery and have to sift through pages of unrelated posts about unlocking. This thread is for recovery only.
[HTC Rezound] dsb9938:
Sure. I won't be making a thread though. They just get moved to the general or Q&A forums where nobody who has any idea what they're doing ever goes. Something I never got about XDA, why no DEV Q&A?

Anyway, good luck keeping your thread pretty.

[HTC Rezound] ccrazythunder:
Since we need to be unlocked to use this recovery and people are trying to get a grasp on what good this would be to us at this point considering that the device is locked. The unlocking questions are relevant in this thread. So what can be accomplished by flashing this recovery if the device is s-off? What would this recovery allow us to do? Flash custom roms? Or just make a nand backup? What is the point of releasing or using this recovery at this point if we don't have s-off? I think that is a point of confusion and as a result questions on unlocking the bootloader are surfacing on this thread. Could you please advise or clarify for a dumba$$ such as myself on what this awesome recovery could be used for on the device considering that it is s-off and only has temporary root at this point? I have read the original post several times and I am still a little confused on this. If the original post has somehow flew over my head please feel free to flame away at me. I am not thinned skinned and do not have to rebuke or retort any harsh responses. Maybe your response could help clear the air and eliminate any further unlocking questions. Thank you in advance for any help or clarification you can provide.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
I'm not gonna flame, as I had the same questions back when o first got the Incredible. He put it out here just so that when we do get S-off, we can have it. Just like the roms. We can flash these from recovery. A recovery can be used to flash roms, kernels, make nandroids, wipe data, and mount storage. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. Most of us here at XDA will not flame you, as we had the same questions not so long ago.
[HTC Rezound] ccrazythunder:
OK. Excellent. Thank you for your response. That was the basis of my confusion was the timing of this release. From my perspective I did not understand why this was released at this point in development considering the phone is not unlocked at this point. The release of this recovery at this point left me with the confusion that flashing a custom rom could somehow be accomplished by using this recovery as of the release date of this recovery. Thank you again for clarifying. Nothing further needs to be discussed relating to unlocking and this recovery.
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
It was made and tested on a vigor pre official release when the htc dev site worked to s-off the phone. That method no longer is available. The recovery will work as same as for any other device once a new route to s-off is available.
[HTC Rezound] marclile:
so question... once i actually get s-off and start using this recovery... the menu option for "Wipe data/factory reset", will that wipe the internal SD? I'm hoping that it won't, as normally when i flash a new rom, i do a "data wipe", but i wouldn't really want the internal SD to get wiped in that case.
[HTC Rezound] Devildog8791:
Good question. I learned the hard way that a normal factory reset

will

wipe the internal memory. It never did this on the Incredible.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
I'll flash this a bit later today and send you a DDMS screenshot.
[HTC Rezound] rboddy:
So I compared the CWM backups on my old Dinc with the Amon backups on my Rezound to see where the differences in size come from, and it looks like the data and system image files are both ~200mb larger in Amon, and a total of ~500MB larger in total. Is there any known reason Amon makes larger backups than CWM? I only ask because I'm "only" running a 16GB SD card and I have 9GB used up for music alone (I keep it on there since we apparently can't keep it on the internal storage due to wiping issues, from what I've read), so space is at a premium. and I can't keep more than 2 backups at a time. I like to keep a backup of the stock ROM, which is taking up 1.2GB itself, and then I only have room for one more backup on top of that, which doesn't work out too well for wanting to keep a few different ROMs to use at will (I don't like flashing fresh and going through the whole setup thing time after time).

I see there's an option for a compressed backup that can take up to a half hour, can anyone tell me how much smaller a backup would be using that method before I burn a half hour only to find out it doesn't save much?
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
The DDMS screenshot was completely garbled for me :/
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
Compressed backups are typically about 40% smaller. The difference in size from your dinc 1 cwm nandroid and ra rezound nandroid have nothing to do with cwm vs ra and everything to do with the rezound being a much higher end device with much larger partition sizes and rom size. With this recovery items on the internal sd storage are only wiped if you pick the wipe internal sd option btw.
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
When doing a backup, which options are required/recommended? Do I need to check any other than the already checked options?
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
Boot backs up boot.img

System backs up system.img

Data backs up data.img

Recovery backs up the current installed recovery.img

Cache backs up cache.img

Sd-ext (if apps2sd mod is used) backs up the mmcblk0p2 apps2sd partition

Android secure backs up the android_secure folder on the external sd

Android secure internal backs up the android_secure folder on the internal sd

I have yet to see any implementation of sd-ext on rezound so leave that one out. The android secure internal is there as some htc oem roms like on the droid incredible 1 have the android native app on sd on the internal memory. I'm not sure how its placed on the rezound but that option is there if needed.

So to answer the question for most people the most common needed items to backup would be:

Boot, data, system, android_secure.

On the restoring option you simply select the items you would like restored from the backup. If you happen to pick something like sd-ext that isn't contained in the backup it will just be ignored fyi.
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Thanks for the info. Android secure was the one I wasn't sure about.
[HTC Rezound] Taebom:
When wiping "sd card android secure" it reboots to the main menu and does not say wipe complete, is that normal? Attached is the recovery log, had to rename it .txt to attach.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
i can confirm this also happens in 3.10, but i do think it does actually wipe the android_secure folder..
[HTC Rezound] Taebom:
I ask because when you chose wipe all in restarts after wiping android secure and I dont know if it wipes the rest like cache and dalvik
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
Thanks for the proper bug report and including the recovery.log. Bug comfirmed and I'll investigate as soon as possible. For now to wipe android_secure on external sdcard till its fixed from do this from adb shell in recovery :

mount /sdcard
rm -r /sdcard/.android_secure
[HTC Rezound] eagle20g:
Ok I completed this, Said writing " recovery'

okay, dah dah dah, but then how do I actually get into the "recovery" that I just flashed? its all the same!

Sorry for the "NOOB" question. I figured it out. Sorry about that
[HTC Rezound] DIncLover:
Should I use 3.12b to replace 3.10?

I currently have 3.10 Amon Ra Recovery flashed. After reading through this thread to this point, is the consensus that 3.12b is "out of beta" testing and I should grab that?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Never thought it was in beta. Been running it since it was posted without any problems.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
The OP is still on 3.10 ... is there either place to keep an eye out for "always the current version?" Am interested for when this bug is squashed.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
just check throughout the thread periodically, he posts updates. 3.12b is great!

here is the download link to it

http://www.mediafire.com/?c6d3d3wd184kdk6
[HTC Rezound] DIncLover:
OK, I grabbed 3.12b. Font size looks good, but for the life of me, I don't understand why some of you prefer the red color. It may be "sexy", but definitely not as easy to read as the cyan. My two cents.
[HTC Rezound] Doddzilla:
Love the red, but it is def harder to see especially in direct sunlight.
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
I don't find it any different to read at all, but it looks 10x better imo

who's outside and flashing this phone? :D
[HTC Rezound] jskolm:
I don't think the color of the text matters that much honestly. The Screen brightness in recovery is really low as it is, so it's just generally hard to see anyway. But I do love the Red text in there.
[HTC Rezound] rboddy:
Edited, wrong thread
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Regardless of the colors, I mucked up my Rezound trying to switch ROM's last night and had to go back and restore a Nandroid for the first time. I typically backup boot, data, system and .android_secure. The system came back up like nothing had ever happened, and that is the true test of a good reliable recovery.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
When you flash Amon Ra does the original factory recovery stay on the phone or is that overwritten?

I've just rooted and want to flash Amon Ra now. Is there any reason to back up anything at this point? I backed up everything before unlocking so it's basically factory stock now other than being unlocked and rooted.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I always make a backup of the stock rom just in case. But yes when you flash one of these recoveries the stock one gets over written. Should never be an issue tho as you can always flash a different recovery through fastboot anyway.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Responded to your PM :)
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
How do you do that, make the back up of stock rom? I have Titanium Pro. For some reason I thought that made a nandroid.

Thanks. :)
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
With a custom recovery like amon ra. You don't make it before installing that. Amon ra will make the nandroid.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Gotcha. Yeah, I plan to do that. I'll need a 3tb drive to store all the nandroids I plan on making to make sure I'm safe and sound. ;)

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Only times I make nandroids is before mass uninstalls, messing with system files, or anytime I boot into recovery and mess with anything.
[HTC Rezound] ufvj217:
I can't seem to flash this recovery. I tried placing it on the root of my sd card and no go.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Need to flash just the .img through fastboot using either clean flash or abd
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
You can't flash a recovery in recovery..

When you see a file called "PH98IMG.zip" this will ALWAYS be flashed in bootloader, make sure it is the right file for this phone before doing so!!!!

I cannot stress this enough.

but anyway, things like kernels, and recovery's need to be installed using adb fastboot, or in bootloader. putting on SD-CARD and turning off phone, and then holding vol down, and power to get to bootloader.

also make sure to use 3.12b it is the newest version 3.10 is older,

here is a direct link
[HTC Rezound] ACD168:
is it possible to get the soft keys to light up in recovery like did for the inc2??
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
OP?

:) Any chance on getting the OP updated to reflect whatever the current version is, each time it is updated?
[HTC Rezound] kkryter:
Sorry if this has already been addressed, I searched and couldn't find an answer.

Anyway, I'm on the latest 3.12b AR and am unable to make a nand backup. If I reboot into recovery and then go to 'Backup/Restore', and then 'Nand backup', I then choose to backup the defaults ( boot, system, data, cache ) and then I add on '.android_secure' and then choose 'Perform Backup' and then Power to confirm it sits for a moment and then gives me the infamous 'Ooops...something went wrong! Please check the recovery log!'. I would provide that, but when I go to 'Other' and then choose to move the recovery log to SD, that results in the same 'Oops' message. I thought that it was because my EXTSD might not be mounted, so I went into 'Mounts' and tried the option to 'Mount /sd-ext' I got the 'oops' message again with the additional message of 'E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblklp2 (File Exists). I also tried ( though I didn't figure the backup would actually work correctly ) to mount '/sdcard' and it did mount but when I went to run the backup it still failed.

What the heck am I doing wrong here? If anybody could clue me in to my mistake(s) it sure would be appreciated, thanks in advance for any help that you can provide!
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
It's likely because of that. I get kicked out to the main menu every time I do a Factory Reset in recovery because of the android_secure (which the OP knows about and is looking into).

Do not select android_secure when making a backup and see how it goes.
[HTC Rezound] kkryter:
Thanks for the quick reply, thanks given! Unfortunately I've already tried that, the result is the same I'm afraid.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Ahhh...I thought that would surely help. Moving the recovery file to SD works fine for me. The only other thing I can think of is reflashing the recovery.img in fastboot.

Hopefully the OP can chime in.
[HTC Rezound] kkryter:
Thanks again for your help. I actually have had this problem since 3.10. After it I tried CWM but it didn't work any better, so today is when I installed 3.12b. I'm definitely looking forward to getting this resolved, I must be doing something stupid or more people would be reporting this, that's why I tried to be so verbose in my original post.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Only thing I can think of that may sound stupid.. but when it is asking you to press power to confirm are you accidently touching the volume rocker ? or the capacitive buttons ? Maybe your interrupting it instead of confirming ?

Sorry just spitballing, I have been running Amon Ra since 3.10 and have made and restored nand backups frequently. I never back up Android secure though so not sure if its an issue with that or not.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
?

Don't you need to restore android-secure if you are restoring the system from a hard reset? Otherwise, all those programs will simply be missing, and any related shortcuts bad.

I am just trying to understand the consequences here (while we all wait for the release with the fix).
[HTC Rezound] kkryter:
That was my understanding as well, at least if you've moved things to sd I think? Also, to answer the other suggestion, I'm as positive as I can be that I'm pushing power and not anything else to initiate the operation. I've used both AR and CWM before on my EVO and never had these problems. I still think I must be doing something stupid that I'm overlooking or not explaining, I just can't figure out what for the life of me!
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I will have to look at my phone to be sure its not already checked. I just know I have never purposefully checked that box just went with what was highlighted from the recovery after flashing. I haven't noticed any issues with my backups after restoring . I never restore apps anyway , just because I just use a few basic ones from the market and I just redownload everything when I flash a new rom.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I do not do a Nandroid of the cache, because typically, if I'm doing a Nandroid, I'm about to flash something that requires the cache be wiped anyway. I have repeatedly and consistently been able to backup (and restore) boot, .android_secure, data and system with no problems.

I agree with the suggestion to reflash 3.12b (and, I am also assuming you adequate space on your microSD card.)
