[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
It's generally said to be a no-no to restore a nandroid backup from one phone on another. The wimax issue is obvious, but there are other factors that you should take into account.

To put it simply, is the possibility of bricking your new Evo worth whatever time it would take to restore everything through Titanium Backup and do whatever other changes you need to do? If so, go for it. If not, take the time to do it the "proper" way.

Also, saying that your phone is "demolished" but that you can still get on XDA sounds sketchy. Not saying that you did anything illegal, like insurance fraud or theft, but it could be interpreted that way. At least that's the first thing that I thought.

It had a transmission out of a Ford dropped on it. Look at the pics. It's boned but the touch screen is still responsive.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
That's not really demolished that's a DIY screen replacement for about 1/3 the cost of the deductible. Demolished looks like my palm pre did 7 large pieces and about 300 tiny ones. It was involved in a car accident, flew out open window and got hit by a semi =\ sucked cuz I had to wait for someone to come by so I could call 911 and where I live that could be 30 seconds or 30 hrs depends on time of week as most traffic is shipping trucks.

Well its a lot more than a diy. The screen was busted, the speakers and cameras were broken. WiFi and bt didn't work. Proximity sender and light sensor were gone. Phone was bent in a slight u shape. Headset Jack ripped off. And kickstand broken off. And it fell out of my pocket and the other guy freaked and lost his grip and dropped the transmission. And I'm a mechanic.

I know these things are tough I got pissed threw mine at the wall it stuck into the drywall like a knife, all I had to do was pull it out and dust it off. The only thing that broke was my extended battery cover it cracked a corner off didn't even scratch my screen

Edit: I'm sure if it had hit the stud it woulda been a slightly different story, or something other than drywall

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadonlyone:
How can I decrease 'long press' time response on touchscreen. For example, I gave up to default keyboard to smart keyboard just for this option.

I want to change this time in every app of android (decrease it).

Using GT-I9100_NEE_I9100XWKI8_I9100OXXKI2_I9100XXKI4.

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
I think that this is determined in the ROM or kernel of your ROM.

So you will have to test another ROM and/or kernel to get other time responses.

Just a suggestion:

Have you already tried to disable all window animations?

(In Settings menu => Display => Animations)

Maybe this has and influence on the display's response time too.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadonlyone:
Yes, I tried already to disable animations, but it has no effect.

Of course there are many applications (like browsers) that have their own value to LongPress Timeout, but I'm sure there is a general variable value set. I just want where to find this and if we can change it.

This is all I found, but I'm not a developer so is not so helpful for me: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewConfiguration.html

You can't change the long press timing on default Samsung ROM/Keyboard, that's why I switched to Hacker's Keyboard.

I'm not talking about keyboard only. Read my post, please.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon2555:
That variable can/is different from app to app. You can manually set it in its XML file inside app but it takes time. Maybe it can be set in touchsreen file that control touchscreen drivers inside use/idc folder if you have it and to set that to be default option you have to edit touchscreen drivers inside kernel.

[Verizon Droid Charge] funkiernails:
hello this is my first time posting in a while so bare with me

i have been looking for an answer for this problem for a while now with no luck.

right now i am trying to restore my charge to stock. I was running Froyo EE4 before. After finding out that my phone was bootlooping i tried following the instructions here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111486

I then tried that on EE1,2 and 4 with the same results. I have heard that the problem could be the voodo fix, but i dont know how to disable it with the phone bootlooping.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Lockett:
Have you tried disabling it through both the Voodoo Control app in the Market and in CWM? I really don't think it matters if you have lagfix activated or not since the PIT file is going to erase everything anyway. I know I never had to disable it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] emtee_skull:
I've reverted to stock several times. It's usually no fuss. I didn't think you had to turn off voodoo if you repartition.

If you tried these suggestions forgive me.

Run Odin as admin, i.e. right click and run as admin. This is for Vista and Win7.

Reinstall drivers for phone.

What does Odin do when you try?

Here is a pic instruction of Odin by DroidXcon. The only difference is adding the pit file. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14147928&postcount=3

And after you get the phone in download mode add the battery back.
[Verizon Droid Charge] funkiernails:
i have tried several times with the different variations of using PIT files, not using PIT files, EE1, 2 and 4. Odin recognizes the phone everytime, and passes everytime without an issue. It is when i go and reboot the phone is when i realize that the phone just keeps getting the the big droid eye, then restarts and does it over and over untill i pull the battery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Droidianslip:
Have you wiped the SD card also? Backup anything you want to keep on the SD Card and format the card. Then using Odin and EE4 and the PIT file, check the re-partition box and flash the stock ROM. That will get rid of anything on your SD card that might also be causing problems. Generally if you are going from EXT4 back to RFS and not using the PIT file you have to disable voodoo lagfix either using the control app from the market or placing a file/folder in the Voodoo folder on the SD card with the name "disable lagfix" (without the quotes) and re-boot your phone
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
I wanted to remove "Personalize" from my ROM, as it was "Senseless" so I figured it out, but it can be used to remove anything such as HTC Software Update, which is useless to custom ROM users anyway. Here's how to do it with a very simple smali edit.

Step 1:

Decompile Settings.apk or classes.dex

Step 2:

Navigate to /com/android/settings/framework/activity/HtcEntryProxy.smali

Step 3:

Open HtcEntryProxy.smali in your favorite editor and search for the lines

# direct methods
.method static constructor <clinit>()V

Step 4:

The fun begins here. I'm going to use "Personalize" as an example since it's what I removed, but you'll notice stuff like:

.line 167
sget v0, Lcom/android/settings/framework/activity/HtcEntryProxy;->INDEX:I

add-int/lit8 v1, v0, 0x1

sput v1, Lcom/android/settings/framework/activity/HtcEntryProxy;->INDEX:I

sput v0, Lcom/android/settings/framework/activity/HtcEntryProxy;->PERSONAL_INDEX:I

Pay close attention to this specific line:

add-int/lit8 v1, v0, 0x1

What you want to do from here is change 0x1 to 0x0. You can do this for anything you want to remove.

add-int/lit8 v1, v0, 0x0

Step 5:

Save your file and recompile Settings.apk or classes.dex and push to phone with ADB or create a flashable zip. If you're going to push to phone, I would suggest doing it from recovery as opposed to while in Android. A system file like Settings.apk probably won't want to be interrupted during an active Android session. Reboot your phone when done.

Step 6:

Profit.

Enjoy. :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The4thDoctor:
I have a Samsung Transform Ultra (rooted), I am using the stock ROM that came with the phone, recently I have corrupted something and need to attempt a factory reset, however some people have said that doing a factory reset on a rooted phone could brick it, so this brings a couple of questions:

1.- How would I un-root my phone, or, if un-rooting is not necessary, what steps should I take to factory reset it safely? My data is safely backed up already.

2.- Has anyone done a factory reset on a rooted Transform Ultra?

Any help would be most appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
Don't you have a custom Recovery installed? I don't know about this device specifically, but there should be a factory reset option you can utilize within your Recovery image. You'll need a ROM to flash afterwards also, otherwise you'll have no OS on your device. Or simply flash a NANDroid backup.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The4thDoctor:
Since my (rooted) phone has the stock factory ROM only, and I never changed it, do I still need a ROM? My original ROM was never removed or changed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
Well that's the thing, when you factory reset a rooted phone it wipes everything, including the OS. So after a factory reset there will be no ROM to boot into. Even though you've never changed it and you're running stock, you'd still need a copy of that stock ROM (if you wanted to continue running stock). But if you've made a nandroid backup (complete snapshot of your entire system) at some point before you noticed the current problem you're having, it might be easier to simply restore that particular backup via Recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The4thDoctor:
I never flashed any roms or recovery, just rooted.

Unfortunately, I never made a nandroid backup before I had this problem, however, my daughter has an identical phone, could I make such a backup from hers, and use it on my phone, then just delete her settings etc?

I had no idea that just rooting would kill the stock ROM image, making the phone un-recoverable, I thought that rooting only gave me superuser permissions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
Looks like Clockworkmod doesn't support your device.... not sure what custom Recoveries are available for your phone... but rooting doesn't mess up the stock ROM, we (the users) mess up our ROMs. You're right when you said that rooting gives you superuser privileges, and with those privileges come the unfortunate ability to screws stuff up. In my case I have tons of backups and a custom Recovery whereby I can wipe the phone and restore if need be. I also have ADB installed and can use Fastboot commands if things go sideways. Basically if you're gonna root have a backup plan.

Can you perhaps follow an unrooting method? Then you could safely factory reset without losing the OS... you know...the more I think about this, the more I wonder if you could just use the factory reset option from within the phone's settings... on a custom ROM you'd never do it, but in your situation (no custom recovery or ROM) who knows, maybe it would work with a problem.... I'll ask a friend of mine and post back.

Edit: Never heard back, but in your case on the stock ROM without a custom Recovery you *should* be able to factory reset through the Privacy setting section of your settings. If you do lose root, simply re root and you're good to go.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The4thDoctor:
Thanks, Well I am going to give it a try and see what happens, worst case, I will have to buy another phone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Only you can decide what is crap and can be deleted from your phone.

Or install a virus and let it decide what to do with your phone ;-)

Only for some special data, there are apps which can lead you to delete no-longer used data.

For example Titanium Backup can identify app data of un-installed apps.

Sorry, but you will have to take some time, look through all your apps and data on your sd card, decide what to un-install and/or delete.

Just to be on the "safe" side, make a backup of your system before.
