And now I have had quick feedback from the ROM author, SenseiSimple. The problem should be fixed in 1.0.07a. With such quick support, and such a functional ROM, I have to recommend this ROM to anyone who wants a near-stock experience.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth Oro:
Should i buy the Desire? It's pretty cheap, i haven't got much money, and i need a decent phone? I currently have a LG Optimus One, but i need something a bit more exquisite. Will i notice any performance difference? Oh and i was thinking of a Nexus One as well, but i've been comparing these two and the Desire seems to win!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazyeejay:
It may be 2 years old but it has a great fanbase with a great selection of custom roms. I am due for renewal in April but I seriously cannot see anything that justifies me to commiting myself to another 18 month contract just yet, that's how good this phone is. It really is holding its own even now and I would without hesitation say go for it. If you get one second hand then just check the hardware buttons to make sure they work (my volume down button is starting to need a hard press to work) and if you get an unrooted one then you have got all the rooting stuff to enjoy as well:-) I would get this over the Nexus One, in fact I spent a week putting phone against phone and eliminating them one by one when I first got my Desire. A cracking phone even now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth Oro:
Wow, thanks, i am definitely getting the desire, i am already used to rooting and flashing so it's no biggie, thanks a bunch for the complete answer, you totally made me change my mind about buying a Nexus One which is actually more expensive in 2nd hand here.

if you cant spend the money to buy desire s or desire hd, then its htc desire for sure

and htc legend doesnt even come close to htc desire

I cannot afford a Desire HD or S unfortunately, so i am going for the Desire, thanks for the help!

I love veetle lite and I use it on regular basis to watch futbol from all around the world. The app worked fine prior to root (side loaded) but after the root all I get is sound without video. I uninstalled the app and installed it from Android Market (I installed Market too) but with the same results. Anyone else have this issue???

[Kindle Fire General] Khar00f:
Good day everyone,

I'm planning on purchasing a Tablet for my wife, nothing fancy, basically i'm debating back and forth between Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet, I was leaning towards the NT for all the extra features that it has, especially the 16Gb onboard memory and 1GB RAM. what turned me off completely or almost at least is the Locked Bootloader. even if 2nd Init booting works for ROMS.

Kindle fire on the other hand has 8GB, no expansion 512MB RAM, but unlocked boot loader and the overall feel stock seems to be a better experience on KF and NT.

I'm not asking for a comparison, but I would apreciate some feedback, my wife can deal with 8GB as really she'll be most of the time doing some reading on her way to work and back.

- My questions is in regards to GAPPS, now with root and Google Market enabled with sideloading.

- How is the app compatibility? is there any issues with certain apps? obviously i'm not talking about issues that are related to missing hardware, but general apps/games.

- Any feedback is greatly apreciated, my budget is 300$ so everything is still up in the air, I am in Canada so i'll have to cross the border to buy it, but that's a non issue, i just need to settle on the right TAB.

- Problem also is it's hard for me to have an objective POV on her usage as I'm more technically inclined than she is and all I see are the possibilities that the community brings.

Thank you,

Rodi
[Kindle Fire General] Raiden619:
Kindle Fire is running a customized version of Gingerbread (2.3).

So any incompatibilities would be generally any app that can't run in that OS.

That's my understanding at least.
[Kindle Fire General] mkuehn10:
I have mine rooted and am running Gmail and Google Calendar just fine (and both are syncing correctly). That's all I have on there right now, but I don't see why any others wouldn't work (barring hardware limitations such as with GPS and Maps).
[Kindle Fire General] FlashFire1:
Take the Kindle Fire because we have already found a way to use a microphone with it.

Here's a link:

[GUIDE] Use a Microphone with the Kindle Fire

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1363215

We are also working on enabling the on-board Bluetooth. In 1-2 months we'll have custom ROMs available as well.

Also after you root the KFire you can access the full Android Market and use Go Launcher EX.

I've never had any issues with apps either.

The Kindle Fire is a great device! I would buy it over the Nook any day.
[Kindle Fire General] Khar00f:
from your experience with the tablet, how's the user experience

Meaning does it feel snappy, does it stutter, transitions etc...

Thank you for the info, you guys are being very helpful so far.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wschamps42:
Hello all, I have the Xperia Play 4G from AT&T running 2.3.3 and was wondering if any other PLAY users are experiencing this issue. I am constantly getting a Force close issue, everything runs very laggy at times, my "gallery" app does work it crashes as soon as I run it, try to import a picture to a MMS, or watch a video on my Play. The only workaround to watch these videos is to use Astro file manager and manually go to the folder and click on the video file. When I run apps such as Yahoo! mail when updating the inbox it would just freeze, go black, then force close. My friend has the same phone on Verizon and is experiencing the same exact problem. Difference is the Play 4G uses the global SE version of 2.3.3 and Verizon uses stock 2.3.3. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this or any suggestions? I want to use CM7 but there are a ton of issues from what I am reading for CM7 on the PLAY.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
I think you might need to reset the phone, just make sure to back up your data
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wschamps42:
Is there anyway I can backup my apps and data? I can not find a root for this specific Xperia Play
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wschamps42:
Alright, so I just did it, and I'm still getting a ton of force close errors.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Sounds like you need to reflash your firmware, You can use flashtool and one of the various firmwares in the development section, or you can use SEUS to "repair" your current one.

By the way CM7 works great with GSM plays. It's the CDMA one having trouble. I'm not sure if CM7 is compatible with 4G plays though. Maybe you should ask in the CM7 thread. Either way you will need an unlocked bootloader to flash CM7.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wschamps42:
Ok, could you explain to me what you mean SEUS can repair my current firmware? How can I do that? Also, if I install CM7 on my play, what is wrong with it? I hear problems with vibration, touchpads, and volume buttons.I would love CM7 if I could get it to work flawlessly with everything else. To be honest, ill be happy to sacrifice the fake 4G speeds for 3G speeds as long as my Play on CM7 would work perfectly. I had CM7 on my Samsung Captivate I loved it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
SEUS stands for Sony Ericsson update service. You can find more info on it here:

http://talk.sonyericsson.com/thread/1036

Afaik there is nothing wrong with CM7. I'm using it on my play now with no issues. The touchpads work great except they wont work with the EA games, the rest of the pad does though. i have no issues with the volume buttons or vibration :confused:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wschamps42:
Ok I am trying to install CM7 now, I downloaded the latest nightly build (11/16) and im trying to use the wiki to install CM7 but I am stuck on the unlocking bootloader. I have the unlocking bootloader code from SE website, but I dont get this part:

You will need fastboot on the computer to unlock the bootloader of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. Follow the Android SDK guide, to get the fastboot shell on the computer.

On the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, open the Phone application & enter *#06#. This present the IMEI of the device; write it down, it will be needed later.

Power off the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play.

Press & hold the Search button while connecting the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play to the computer.

On the computer, open terminal and run the following command:

fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version

NOTE: This step is to ensure the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is connected properly & the drivers setup properly. If you get <waiting for device>, something is not setup properly.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
You have a carrier locked phone. You will have to pay to unlock the bootloader using something like omnius or setool. Only factory unlocked plays can unlock the bootloader using fastboot. A carrier locked one doesn't have fastboot enabled.

PM Alejandrissimo for details. He's noob friendly, walks you though the whole thing and unlocks it remotely using his own setool dongle. The cost covers credits needed to use the tool. He charges 24 usd and doesn't even turn a profit. That's your best bet.

Thanks but, no need for that. I actually managed to install the 2.3.4 update to my play now its R800a instead of R800at, I lost the "4G" to just 3G now but its exactly the same to be honest, this build is amazing and smooth. Plus I got Fifa 10 and playstation pocket is pre-installed and works in :-)

where the number indicates your devices serial number usually the one one the back of your phone[needs citation]

2.

Login To Android Shell

adb shell

After pressing enter you will either see '$' or '#'

If you get ‘#’ after typing adb shell, you have already get root access on the phone, no need to type su. Otherwise if you get ‘$’ , type ’su’ to get root access (only for rooted device).

3.

Install Application

This command installs the app whose directory is specified by you.

adb install appname.apk

Note that the name of the application should be without any blank spaces in between. Say i have an app called pes 12.apk, I rename it to pes_12.apk - Also don't miss out the .apk extension

example

adb install C:\programfiles\pes_12.apk

4.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crabulous:
Just wondering what course of action I should take. If anything could get me back to my first nandroid. I just rooted my phone, and I started trying out roms, seeing which I liked best. Not sure how it works exactly, but I figured it was that I could go from one nandroid to any other and it would work. I flashed mik3d, made a nandroid, and then flashed destroyer. All correct steps done, all fine up until that point. Tried to restore, and neither of the nandroids worked. And i tested them before I flashed destroyer. I was stuck in destroyer. Since then ive been able to flash either destroyer or mik3d, but i tried cyanogen and it gets me stuck in bootloop no matter what I do. After flashing mik3d or destroyer, it let's me restore to the last backup before the flash. No other. I backed up my apps originally, but not the data. i guess i just wanna know if I could find a way to restore the original nandroid and get my apps back instead of losing all the data. Also, mik3d is currently running EXTREMELY slow. Computer unavailable for the next few hours, typing this on my phone, and its so laggy. This has taken about 15-20 minutes to type. And if there really is no way to restore my app data by restoring the original nandroid, then what should i do to restore to stock ROM, rooted or not, doesnt matter.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
OK, first off, if you're just rooted, you probably have Clockwork Mod for recovery.

You want to change that to Amon Ra.

There's a post in the development section with the file and how to flash it.

This will make your nandroids obsolete.

If you DO have Amon Ra now, or after you flash it, so this:

Go to Wipe.

Wipe All User Data/Factory Reset.

Then wipe ever sub-option, EXCEPT, SD Card: or Battery Stats if you're not fully charged.

Hit return and USB Toggle. Put the ROM you want to flash on your SD Card, then you can flash that. If I were you, I would just use the Stock/Rooted ROM from the Dev section first. You need to have a Sense ROM anyhow, if you ever need to update PRL, Profile, or take your phone into Sprint.

Once you have that loaded up, go back to Recovery and make a Nandroid of it. I always backup everything except cache, which ensures that if I have to restore, it's exactly back to how I had it all set up.

Then, put a custom ROM on that you want to flash, repeat the Wipe Procedure and flash away!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crabulous:
Well I'll try all that when I get home. In the middle of a 4 hour drive now. But I realized that I might have an out. Just got a new SD card yesterday, and I was using that. Switched to the old one, which happens to be after I loaded mik3d but not yet destroyer, and I'm back to the stock Rom rooted. I'll deal with the rest later.
