[Vibrant General] Decepticaons:
I am super anal about not having crap I dont need so I want to go in and all I want to save is my pics and my apps, I want to get rid of anything I dont need without deleting pertinent files. Can anyone help? If this has been posted please direct me to that post i cant seem to find anything. Thanks alot!!!
[Vibrant General] coolairG1:
+1, I have the same question.

I know there is an option for formatting the SD card in settings. But I wonder if there are additional steps to complete this without harm. It would be nice if anyone can provide step-by-step instruction of how to do this.
[Vibrant General] Exel:
So, you want to delete useless folders on your SD card? Most of them are used by Android, if you delete them, they'll come right back.
[Vibrant General] Decepticaons:
i noticed that a lot of the folders are for apps I no longer have so I went ahead and deleted those. I also had 6 backups for ROMS so i deleted 4 of them. After that I moved pics to my laptop and now I am only using 2 GB, removed tons of space!!
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I covered this in one of my guides....

what I would do:

backup ANY/ALL things to my PC.

go to settings and unmount/format both internal and external sd cards

ODIN to JFD

move my update b and rom of choice to root, flash....

then move any important files back afterwards.

Phone always felt a lot smoother getting rid of the gunk from day to day stuff.
[Vibrant General] Decepticaons:
Thanks, I'll do that too!
[Vibrant General] KnowledgeBroker:
Yes, but you are still relying on the user KNOWING what is important and what isn't.. If all they have that matters to them is videos, pictures, and music, they can just copy those, follow your instructions, and copy back anything that they deleted they may have needed..

In my opinion, if SPACE is what you want, this app is by far the best. DiskUsage shows you a visual representation of how your space is taken up. This pic may show it better:

From there, you either just click or long press on a folder or file you don't want, delete it, and move on. I love it so much because it is like a program I use on my mac called disk inventory X, which is what I used to scan my phones SD until I found that app. I wish there was a windows equivalent.

If you are anal and just sick of having a ton of folders you don't need that aren't really taking up space, I haven't found a better solution than figuring out what the files in that folder are for, or doing what s15274n recommended and starting fresh..

Then again, when a rom TRULY gets stable for me, wiping and reflashing will usually get me different results(suddenly worse battery life, or something doesn't work, etc), and I'll have to restore a nandroid. I typically only wipe and reflash if I have a problem with the way it runs.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
This is the way I do it:

1. copy all personal files (music, pictures, etc.) to computer.

2. Flash JFD.

3. Format SD card.

4. return all personal files.

5. redownload apps.

You can also backup all your apps and copy the titanium backup folder to computer. That way you don't have to redownload your apps.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xolanir:
Okay so I have two Google accounts and I'd like to consolidate my apps and such to my one main account. I've googled the interwebs for this and have not found a solution. Is there a way to delete one account and be able to retain my apps or do I loose everything when I delete the account associated with my phone? Thanks in advance for your help.

Update 1: I did more digging around on the interwebs and found a solution at this link: http://www.sleetherz.com/2011/05/how-to-change-gmail-account-on-android-market-without-factory-reset/

Update 2: It seems that this is merely a temporary fix. This method only removes the account from your phone with having to do a factory reset. So if you're looking to sell your phone or just want to remove the account in general from the phone, this will be the best method. Removing the entire account from google servers is something that hopefully google will figure out.

So easy and fast. Hopefully this will help anyone else that had this as a question/issue.

only uckk4 is corrupt. that's the one that dropped today. all the other leaks are working. look for uckk3, or better yet get the phone recovered with the stock package, get cwm, (I'd use the defuse kernel oneclick heimdall, quickest way to get cwm from stock) then flash caty rom or victory rom which will be rooted.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] bigsupersquid:
I constantly see people advising the tools to flash firmware on the optimus V.

None of those people have an optimus V, or they'd probably know that LG never released flashable firmware for the optimus V.

I wish that LG weren't such F***S and had released working firmware for the optimus V!

They did not, at Virgin Mobile's request, I assume, because the VM510 firmware is broken just like the VM670 firmware; however the LN510 firmware is valid, and the LS670 firmware works too. (LN510=sprint rumor touch, VM510=virgin mobile rumor touch; LS670=sprint optimus, VM670=virgin mobile optimus)

you cannot install the stock LG virgin firmware, the .cab files are missing a .dll inside that decodes the contents of the .cab to the files needed by the flashing software.

If you install the Sprint optimus firmware on the Virgin optimus, it will flash because the phone board model number is the same, but the network data and MMS will be broken. Permanently. There is no way to revert to Virgin firmware without sending the phone to LG.

If you can't get the phone to respond to ADB, you're toast at this point and have to send the phone for service or replace it or give up your data service and flash sprint firmware.

You may be able to get adb to respond briefly during the 'formatting' loop in recovery. If so, it is probably fixable, post again to let me know and I'll try to walk you through what you have to do in that case.

I borked my first OV with a bad AOSP build without working ADB, it installed the built recovery which wouldn't respond to any keypresses or ADB. I flashed the sprint firmware rather than toss out all hope for the phone, and fought with it for a month trying to get data working again. If you find another way to fix it, please post it up for others! Won't help me, my first OV was flashed to death trying to hack a working version of the sprint firmware dll to unpack the virgin firmware.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FiddleGoose:
Is it possible to unlock the Droid Incredible 2 for T-Mobile? Or does that depend on the ROM? Cause MIUI doesn't give the option to pick a carrier, but other ROMS do.

Should I just try a different ROM?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trkaaa:
Yes , Call Verizon for Sim Unlock Code , any Sim Card will be accepted

to get GSM working , the Rom should support GSM Mode

For Sense Roms Only Stock Rom or Rooted Roms Based on Original Rom will support GSM Mode , [ like rmk , and also VU 2.39 can be used with GSM Patch ( i didn't test VU) , ..etc ] , this means that there is a menu inside Settings\wireless networks\Mobile networks for choosing Operator and APN

Specifically for t-mobile , i am not in US , i don't know if Stock Rom by Verizon has restrictions on use with t-mobile , But i guess Rooted Roms should not , some who use other carriers also install PRL ( Roaming list ) suitable for the new carrier , you should check with someone live in us

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
I think someone may have asked this before but for the life of me I can't find the thread, so please excuse me starting another one.

Has anyone tried to get analog audio output through the Micro-USB port of the Galaxy Nexus? This would provide a line-level audio output that might provide marginally better audio quality than the headphone port for non-headphone audio systems like powered speakers.

The Galaxy S II phones are able to output analog audio through the Micro-USB port using the two USB data pins when it detects a specific resistance on the ID pin. Of course when it's doing this, USB data won't work but the USB power pins can still be used to charge the phone. This is how docks like http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECR-D1D3BEGSTA get the audio output to the 3.5mm jack.

I'm curious if this works with the Galaxy Nexus too. Perhaps someone who has a Galaxy S II/Nexus S dock with analog audio output or a Micro-USB to analog audio adapter cable can try to see if the dock/adapter works with the Galaxy Nexus to get analog audio out of it?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] DaveC1964:
I made a test image to test how close to black your screen displays before clipping/cutting off. Display in any image viewer just make sure any brightness settings etc are all off/default/flat, do not view through browser, you may get different results. Do the test in a dark room.

The numbers correspond to actual RGB values ie: 10 is R 10, G 10, B 10. out of 0-255.

This is really effected mostly by firmware gamma curve settings not hardware.

My Infuse goes dark at around 9! What crap gamma settings! This is why shadow detail is crushed. I am curious if it is just mine or if that is normal.

Theoretically you should be able to see number 1 (I could just make it out on my PC if I looked at an angle to the LCD).

yeah perfectly normal on this phone. Samsung does dumb things. supercurio aknoeledged black clipping somewhere below 4%. 9 out or 255 would be above 3% and below 4% so that's about right. supercurio seems to thinks its fixable if he writes a driver. so throw some donations his way and see if we can convince him writing drivers are worth it.

Does anyone know how to block the 9016# in messages, everytime I get a voicemail? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Send this text message to 9999:

BLOCK 9016

You'll get a confirmation back. If you need to unblock, just do the same thing but text unblock instead of block.

My visual voicemail stopped working when I did this. Or it could've been when I blocked it through MIUI's DND mode. If you're using Sprint's visual voicemail, you may no longer receive them and have to unblock the number. Note that the visual voicemail issue may only apply to AOSP roms. I haven't ran Sense in almost a year.

You'd then have to find an app that would still allow them to be received, but not show up in your inbox.

Oh, and Google is your friend. I had to resist the urge to lmgtfy.

Are you sure this was a stock ROM from Verizon?

I can't say for sure if they do or don't, I'm just going off the statement that they released today stating that they are sympathetic to consumers who have it installed on their phones and that they do "not have Carrier iQ installed on ANY Verizon phones".

To Gigaom, a Verizon Wireless spokesperson denied any connection with Carrier IQ: “Any report that Verizon Wireless uses Carrier IQ is patently false.”
