Typically just doing an

will do the trick. You don't need to copy the .apk onto your phone just to install it.

As mentioned previously, it may be that your default install location is NOT set to /sd-ext/app and that /data is full.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Solidsnake726:
I want someone in my family to have data on their phone, so I want to cancel my data to balance out the bill. Im mostly in wifi anyways, and only need voice and text. So, is there a way to do this, or is this only possible on other carriers?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
If your line is activated with Verizon, they require you to have a data plan. Otherwise, it would make too much sense and not enough money for Verizon.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
To my knowledge nearly all carriers are requiring data on Android phones (as well as most other smartphones,) not just VZW. It's best they do this because the majority of smart phone users aren't smart enough to not have things updating (like email) all the time which would cause ridiculous overages on their bills and frustrating calls to customer care. (This is not a dig at you at all. Just a very generalized statement.) Also, the subsidy amount on smartphones is a lot higher than basic phones, they have to make up for this fact some how.

On a side note, if you are going to complain about price then Verizon is the wrong carrier for you! They definitely don't build their plans around counting pennies to say the least. Lol.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
They can provide phone-only service without any data, they just don't want to. It would be perfectly reasonable for someone to want to use a smart-phone as a phone only on the cellular network, and then use all the data capabilities over wifi only. I'm sure it all comes down to carriers wanting to make the money on the data plan.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
Sure, its possible for them to do it... But if you want a smartphone without data you would have to pay retail for the phone because as I said earlier, "...the subsidy amount on smartphones is a lot higher than basic phones, they have to make up for this fact some how." If you are doing that you might as well go with prepay and get a cheaper plan. Most prepay carriers don't care if you have data on your smart phone.

I do agree that a big part of it is probably that they want to make money on the data plan also. The way plans are shifting currently I would be surprised if you can get a plan without data in a few years.

To me the best solution for all is just to offer flexible data plans so that users who don't want to use data can pick a minimal plan and the carrier can still make some money off the data plan. I can understand wanting a smartphone without the data charge but carriers are there to make money just like any other business.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
I completely understand and agree that carriers would require a data plan so long as they're subsidizing the cost of a phone. But once the phone is paid for, a data plan should no longer be required.

For example, my father would happily pay for a calling-only plan using my old iPhone 3G. He has no use for data away from home or where WiFi isn't available and so won't spend the extra $30 a month plus taxes for something he will never use. The phone is long since paid for and the carrier (AT&T in this case) would loose nothing by providing a plan without data.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] juliend:
I used my old Apache PPC as a phone only for a couple years, data only over wifi. I loved that setup. I was quite upset when they required me to purchase a data plan to upgrade to a VZW touchpro. The only way I think to do this now would be to clone ESN off a dumb phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
My phone works perfectly but for some reason when my phone is charging it keeps like pressing the screen or something

Like I would b using the browser and it would zoom in or out (pinch) but I would b using one finger...

This only happens when I'm charging my phone... u think its just the charger..? It actually happens with 2 of my 3 chargers..
[Atrix 4G General] hayatohuseman:
My full apologies in advance if there has been a similar thread, I've honestly been looking for the past couple of hours. If there is one and I've just missed it, feel free to open-fire on me.

I have an AT&T Atrix running on 2.3.4 Gingerbread; rooted and unlocked bootloader with the Alien 4 ROM and the Alien 4 Theme. I'm really new to rooting and have only been rooted for about a week now. Today though, I was going to trade my Atrix for an HTC Inspire. I used to have one, switched to the Atrix, and I've come to the conclusion that I prefer the Inspire. While wiping my personal info off of my phone, I did something I clearly shouldn't have though, and everything went downhill from there. Not really thinking, I had already wiped my SD card (which had the Alien ROM), and I still needed to clear off the phone itself, so I figured it'd be okay to just go to the Settings and wipe my phone through the Privacy option. When it booted back up I saw that almost all apps (including necessary ones like Phone and Browser, among others) were gone. I didn't think it'd be a problem and I could just download them again through the Market, but my Settings app was also gone, so I couldn't configure a Wifi connection. I couldn't configure anything. My SIM card didn't work either, nor did the SIM of the person I had met to trade for an Inspire.

When I got home, I went through the different options in Android Recovery on my phone... Still nothing. So I fired up RSDLite on the Windows 7 comp in the computer room, downloaded the 1.5.2 Atrix SBF from here to try and flash it back to the stock Atrix ROM, and clicked Start. My phone rebooted once or twice and it looked fine, but then RSD said that the flash had failed. Now whenever I try to turn my phone on, it stays at the big M logo with "Dual Core Technology" underneath (it doesn't even change to the pulsing M). I haven't been able to boot it up since... Sorry for the novel, but it'd be really greatly appreciated if someone could help me out here. Thanks for your time.
[Atrix 4G General] Gutterball:
That definetly doesn't sound like a hard brick. Use romracers recovery and try to flash a fruitcake http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1163009 which are much safer then sbfs.

By the way theres no need to apologize when posting in the "correct" forum .General or QandA is where this thread belongs. if this were development though then you'd be in a world of ****! LOL
[Atrix 4G General] KeRmiT80:
if you are on big M (without any "failed to boot" ) you're soft bricked,

try to power on button+ volume down button...

if says "fastboot" then just volume up,

download the .img files in the fruitcakes section and follow the fastboot mode instructions...

you'll get back your phone.

read carefully the instruction where to put the files in your windows 7 user directory etc etc, 90% of the problem is because people don't understand where to place executables and run them ;)

hope it helps
[Atrix 4G General] hayatohuseman:
Thank you guys so much!! The solution was actually even simpler than what you both suggested; all I had to do was flash to 2.3.4 with moto-fastboot. I had never used fastboot before, so it took me forever to figure it out, but I finally got it and my Atrix is back to the way it came. :D Thanks again, you two. Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Kudos for doing some research and figuring out how to resolve the problem. Not enough of that going on. Doesn't it feel like more of an accomplishment?! :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shidell:
I have a general question about building the Android kernel. For understanding purposes, I'm a C/C++/C# developer (and Android application developer), but have little functional knowledge of the Linux kernel.

With regard to porting Android, I'm curious how one builds the latest Kernel. The Android Kernel is not simply the standard Linux Kernel branch, correct? Where does one get the latest "Android" Kernel from? Does Google host a Kernel site as part of AOSP that we can sync with?

Once you have the latest Kernel, is it simply a matter of ensuring the Make file is accurate, adding the appropriate device drivers (as .so files?) for your particular hardware, and performing a Make? Then I assume you can update your device's Kernel with the one you've buildt?

In closing, for example, I'd like to sync the Android 3.0 Kernel, update the drivers necessary for my EVO 4G, build the latest Kernel, and then flash it to my phone. Just looking for some insight as I start getting educated on the topic.

Thanks for any advice you can offer! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Actually, the android kernel is very similar to the linux kernel (well it is based on the linux kernel). You can get the kernel from here: http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html. You can also take a look here: http://elinux.org/Android_Kernel_Download and here: http://elinux.org/Android_Kernel_Features. It will be quite difficult to build a kernel for your device without the source (there's none for 3.0.1 for your device), but you could still build it from a lower kernel version: http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/HTC-EVO-4G-Sprint-Kernel-Source-Code-Download-58254.html.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shidell:
Thanks for the info, Theonew. When you say that it will be difficult for me to build the kernel for an EVO without the source, is that because the vendors (Qualcomm, for example) haven't made source for their devices available, so it's hard to build the drivers (.so files?) that are compatible with the latest kernel?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
HTC hasn't released the source of the kernel v3.0.1 (which comes in Ice Cream Sandwich) for your device (since it's not available for your device...yet at least).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wontonforevuh:
So I was playing around with different kernels and whatnot but it froze while I was flashing back to stock. I pulled the battery and tried to reboot the phone but only the blue LED came out. Anyone know how to solve this issue or am I screwed?

I tried getting back into download mode but only the blue LED notification light turns on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
As a last resort try a USB jig. I wouldn't mod a Samsung without one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
There are several OG Epic tricks you can try. Try removing battery and SD card and plug phone in to PC and see if it powers to download mode.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wontonforevuh:
This didn't work. I think I might be screwed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SocialReject:
I was building something and screwed up my phone. I had to send mine in for firmware repair. I'm no noob so I tried EVERYTHING.

Either take it back to sprint and play dumb or get it fixed from the guys at mobiletechvideos.com

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You can try saying you got some random message that an OTA update showed on your phone and you accepted it and it screwed your phone up. Just a thought coming out of left field
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
I had the EXACT some problem last week. I went to the repair center, said the phone was plugged in at work, we had a power surge, and afterwords the phone wouldn't turn on. An hour later...BOOM, new phone

I then went on amazon and purchased a usb jig and kept my phone stock until it came. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Every rooted owner should spend the 2 bucks on a USB jig. It's not the holy grail, but it's one more tool in your belt to potentially get out of a frustrating and time consuming situation.

I bought mine from here and got it pretty quickly considering where it came from ...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I agree. I spent a little more on mine because I wanted it asap but we should all have one of these just in case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
What is a USB jig used for?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
It will potentially force your phone into download mode from an "off" state when you otherwise can't so you can connect to Odin and get your phone's system restored.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
...and reset the Odin flash counter if you have to take your phone in for service
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Also try this of epic trick. Sounds funny but worked. Pull the battery and sdcard and let it sit for at least an hour. Put back together and try download mode.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I forgot to mention letting it sit when I mentioned this to someone else (or was it here?) about pulling battery and SD card. Also repeatedly press or hold power button with those out to purge any remaining juice in the phone. This stuff sounds crazy but ask any former OG Epic owner.. some of these tricks have brought phones back from the dead. There isn't a pinhole under the battery cover below the camera is there?

That last part was an OG Epic inside joke but the rest is worth trying

Right To Left languages support

*Root is needed!

*this thing works on Windows and you need java

*It works on 6.1/6.2/6.2.1/6.2.2 kindle fire firmware [DON'T Ever try to change fonts you will stuck in bootloops]

NOTE:

Make libandroid_runtime.so the last file to replace.

the kindle will reboot and will stuck on Kinlde Fire boot screen, presss the power button for 20 seconds to turn it off, and then turn it on

give it some time and *viola!* the lockscreen will appear and you are ready to go :) .

Simplified steps:

*Download Madmack RTL Patacher HERE, then extract the files, you will see some subfolders and files what you need to remember is input and output subfolders and command.exe for later use.

*Go to your kindle open Root Explorer [or any app can do the same] and copy these files from your kindle to your pc

/system/framework/framework.jar

/system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so

/system/lib/libwebcore.so

*move these files to input subfolder , and then run commands.exe DO NOT close the black cmd screens that will pop up, wait till its finish, once its done you will find these files in the output subfolder

framework.jar

lib__bcore.so

libandroid_runtime.so

libicuuc-arabic.so

libwebcore.so

*move them to your kindle and replace the original files with the files you generated

framework.jar to /system/framework/

lib__bcore.so to /system/lib/

libandroid_runtime.so to /system/lib/

libicuuc-arabic.so to /system/lib/

libwebcore.so to /system/lib/

when you paste libandroid_runtime.so to its path /system/lib/ the device will reboot as there is something wrong "don't panic" after you move all the files and the reboot now your device support RTL languages, in twitter, browser, gmail .. etc.

screenshot:

RTL works on 6.1 Firmware

RTL works on 6.2 Firmware

First thanks for your support, but I stucked in the kindle fire bootscreen and I forced to replace the backup framework and lib files again inorder to boot the device again, do u have any idea how to solve this problem, although my device is rooted
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Azdian:
make sure you do all the steps correctly,

first replace the generated framework.jar before other files in /lib folder

let libandroid_runtime.so file to be the last one to be placed and it will suddenly reboot

give it some time after booting and it will work inshallah :)

thanks again and i hope i hear from you soon

I went to the market and downloaded ics keyboard but the problem is i couldn't enable it .. when i go to the settings and i hit enable ics keyboard a small window pop up with 2 steps .. step 1: enable ics key board .. step 2 : switch to ics keyboard

when i hit step one i get a messege says it will never collect information ect then i hit ok it transfer me to the kindle keyboard settings which doesn't have anything related to ics keyboard then i hit back and press on step 2 to switch to ics keyboard but i have one option to choose only and that is kindle keyboard please help

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Husam2011:
Well, i did exactly what you said but looks like your order arent good? My kindle fire is stuck at Kindle Fire screen after rebooting to apply changes (moved libicuuc-arabic.so to /system/lib/

libwebcore.so to /system/lib/)

That is after it rebooted for the libandroid_runtime.so

i did the opposite of if yout are on 6.2 firmware, make libandroid_runtime.so last file to replace.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Azdian:
I don't get you! the way doesn't work for you or what?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Mehrdad201:
Thanks a lot Azdian

with your patch, can we see also persian websites ? or have a persian keyboard?

I say this because persian has some special characters (گ چ پ ژ) that arabic doen't have them.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Azdian:
the RTL patcher doesn't add a new keyboard or adds rtl languages to the stock keyboard

and yeah the patcher will make your kindle read persian ;)

for persian keyboard side download and other keyboard ( try ICS keyboard )
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Mehrdad201:
Thanks Azdian

for the keyboard, I think we can Install spb keyboard. It supports arabic and persian

another question

Image that I have performed your patch on my kindle,

If I do hard reset, the system restores to the basic version that does not support RTL

right ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Azdian:
by hard reset you mean pressing the power button for 20sec ? no your device will still support RTL, until Amazon push a new update like 6.3 or so.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Mehrdad201:
I mean if I perform your patch on my kindle fire device,

is there any way to restore the device to the zero point ? ( FACTORY RESET)

because there is the possibility that the device encounter the problem after patching and we have to return to the original situation...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zirooo:
any one tested this on 6.2.1 ?

I tried it on 6.2, Kindle fire crashed (not restarted) when I copied the runtime file ( I copied it last). My kindle fire was bricked.
