dhkr234 said it good there.

I linked so someone who wants more of an explanation can follow and read up.

In short, you can very easily write to the wrong memory address.

This means:

Installing some silly game over parts of both your boot partition and recovery partition would give you a cool slide-paperweight.

Mount points prevent this from happening by ensuring the data is written to the proper memory addresses.

If you are on a stock EI22 build, they put a recovery flash into the release build that overwrites cwm or acs recovery. qbking77 did a video on how to circumvent it. check the stickies on EI22 for a link.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad1111:
I think you mis-read the OPs question...He isn't asking about the Recovery, he's asking if the "3 Finger Salute" is still present in EI22.

OP: AFAIK, the 3 Finger Reboot method has been taken out of this build. I was bummed out when I found this out. I still forget it's not there and all I end up doing is raising the ringer volume on my phone and put it to sleep! LoL

i believe they took this out after EC05

I have tried that same move on all the roms I have used since EC05 and they must have taken it out. I was thinking maybe that they had changed the keys around or something. Instead of up power and camera it was another combo but not sure where to start.
[HD2 General] geezy21unc:
i installed the android OS ROM and its great, couldnt be happier coming from windows 6.5, but when i get notifications my screen doesnt light up, i get the sound but shouldnt the screen come on????? ive looked thru every setting i can find and found nothing thats relates to it? 2.3.7 typhoon is my android version if thats matters, this is pretty annoying
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
wouldn't have thought it was meant to come on, , it'd soon drain your battery if your screen came on in your pocket every time you got a txt, and then your legs/hands against the screen keep touching the slider, so the screen stays on for ages,,, Its bad enough that the screen comes on from any hardware key.

Ive never seen a setting that mentions it either.
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
i suppose its a valid question. i used an HTC TYTN2 for about 2+ years with WM6.x and that platform would turn the screen on upon receiving a text.

i do see your point though, because since i've been using the HD2 (1.5+ years), i prefer that the screen remains off. all android builds i've used are to my liking, i.e. the screen remains off upon receiving a text. i also VAGUELY remember that the HD2 with stock WM6.5 could be configured to behave either way via some setting/tweak.

so it is imaginable and probably possible (on some platforms like good ol' WM6.5) but dunno if one can tweak android that way...would love to know if it can be toggled either way in android just to have "the option" :D
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
thats cos winmo is a proper OS, not a toy like "ANDROiOS7"

ahh winmo 6.5, i mourne you still >(
[HD2 General] meingutter:
You should install handcent sms from the market. It will do this job very well.
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
There is probably an app for it.

Would just like to say that your title is a bit pointless, This is the HD2 section so obviously this is going to be a HD2 related topic/question. You should title your topics in a way that it describes your topic briefly, ie descriptive titles. You will likely get a better/more response from people.

[Android Apps and Games] sylsau:
Hello,

I post this thread to present you my game Fractions available on market to the following place : //market.android.com/details?id=com.app.fractions.

Fractions is an addictive game combining mental calculation and speed.

Game has a grid containing squares having each 4 values that can take several different forms (fraction, percentage, integer, decimal, subtraction, addition).

For example, value 0.6 can be represented like that in the game : 6/10, 3/5, 12/20, 9-8.4, 60%, ... And all these forms are equals.

Game grid can have 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 dimensions.

Fractions’ goal is to find all equalities between each squares’ values that are in contact on the game grid. For that, player can roll values of square clockwise by clicking on square and moving squares via drag & drop in hard levels.

For these hard levels, Fractions has a help menu that can be displayed during game and in which player can choose to show squares well placed thanks to a little orange square and to show squares well placed with values in good order thanks to a little green square. But, use of these helps increase game resolution time of 50 or 100 seconds.

Grid resolution time and number of moves realized are counted during game. When game is ended, you can compare your score with other players around the world and try to make the high scores. Players can configure their login used to share scores thanks to menu preferences.

A records screen lets you to visualize best high scores list for Fractions.

Each grid is randomly generated which lets you to play an infinite of different game grids with always the same goal : solve grid faster than you can with the smallest number of moves.

An elegant help menu lets you to see how to play to Fractions. Changes between screens are realized thanks to edges that are in bottom of the screen or by flip on screen right to left or left to right respectively to go to previous screen or next screen.

I made a little video to show how to play to Fractions available here :

youtube.com/watch?v=oNI5pgRtPZU

I wish people will like Fractions which is an original game :).

Thanks by advance for your feedbacks.

Sylvain.
[Android Apps and Games] capocaccia:
You should post the link to the game on the market as well so we don't have to go looking for it. In going to download it tonight and report back later.

Edit: I played it. I really like the concept of the game but there are a few bugs that have to change. One is pressing the back button doesn't allow you to exit the app. The command to exit pops up but it just takes you back to the last played game. Second is the fractions turning red when they are in the correct order. Its too easy to just click through and wait for everything to line up and turn red. A better option would be for the player to line the grid up without the red fractions and to submit their answer. If its wrong they keep going and submit again with another try. I like the game but it needs a few tweeks.

[Android Apps and Games] sylsau:
For market link, I hadn't enough posts on forum to have right to put link in my threads.

First, thanks for your feedbacks.

For the back button, you have reason. You think I must remove confirmation exit dialog also or just keep confirmation exit dialog and when user click to yes quit the game ? (while actually the user returns to home screen).

For the levels 1, 2 and 3, I think it's good idea to remove red color for equalities to avoid people that click randomly until they find all equalities and they win the game. I'm going to add a way to valid grid when user think he found all equalities and the gris is solved. Perhaps, take in count in the ranking the fact that player has submitted grid too much time before win also.

Have you tried the levels 4, 5 and 6 ? I think for that levels red color is necessary because it becomes very hard. Indeed, squares are shuffled to the start of the game. So, it is necessary to drag an drop squares also to solve grid. Without red color for that levels, It will be too hard perhaps no ?

Just trying to find a ROM now. Any ROMS that definitely work that you can lead me to? I'm lost. I'm so new to this.

I tried flashing a rom from the clockwork rom manager and had a bad experience.

Thank you VICODAN! I finally got around to rooting my wife's shift because of this guide. The videos were very helpful. The only thing I was missing was the Blue Moon within reach. It would have helped, I'm sure.

A quick mention: under the rooting 2.2 instructions, the link to the Visionary apk is dead. I looked around on the forums to find another one, and then totally facepalmed when I saw it sitting open in the shift-rootkit.rar that I had downloaded from the 2.3.4 instructions. Might want to mention that it is already included if you started from there!

Edit: Oh yeah, another facepalm. Spent a good half hour trying to get the bootloader to find the PC06IMG.zip file, it kept skipping over it. It never clicked that this is the stock 2Gb microSD. And, with 2Gb or less, you can use either FAT16 or FAT32... turns out I just had to reformat the card and poof! It worked. Facepalm... it says that right on the front page at the end of the 2.3.4 instructions.

This was a great guide thanx Vicodan. Everything went as expected. My only problem now is my fault. I went though and did everything including flashing UKE ROM and all without updating my radios.
