...and next time don't forget, or should I say you won't forget as many a lesson has been learned from simple mistakes such as this. Show of hands please? haha
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Its not that the animation itself is long.

Its that it is rebuilding system caches and dalvik cache so that next boot time is drastically reduced in comparison to the first boot up
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
If that doesn't get you there, when you see the triangle, press both volume up and volume down at the same time. It's how mine works anyway. ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] bears_are_cool:
Yup Hes right

the bear ( so true )
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
woah, brought back memories with this thread lol!

:D :D

at least even tho dx2 takes long to boot, nitro gave a nice pretty animation to look at! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silver-Hawk:
Hi

I've been using the Stock 2.3.4 (JVP) ROM, with CF-ROOT 3.7 (JVP based) Kernel (for root privileges) for a long time now...

Now, I wanted to try the Semaphore Kernel (for voodoo sound, better battery life, etc).. but, the latest Semaphore Kernel is a JVT based Kernel.

So my question obviously is, Can i flash the latest Semaphore Kernel (1.9.0) over my existing JVP based ROM without any issues??

if not, what would be more productive, Switching to a JVT ROM altogether?

OR

Finding some older version of Semaphore for JVP?

(I really dont wanna loose all my apps etc, its too cumbersome to install them again even if its using the titanium backup..)

(then again, an older version of kernel wont be supported, and may cause issues..)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envy64ht:
dont know much about JVP but i've tested stock JVS rom before together with TalonDEV, Galaxian & Semaphore kernels respectively and had no problems.

TalonDEV is ext4 autoconvert

Galaxian is compatible with ext4 (convert manually)

Semaphore is compatible with ext4 (convert manually)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silver-Hawk:
I'm on Semaphore now, running flawlessly.

Thank you :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmariust:
Do you know if the latest semaphores 2.1.1 can be flashed over stock JVT?
[Motorola Photon 4G] themac79:
Hi, I'm kinda new to this and could use some help. I'm using a Moto Electrify that's been rooted and was wanting to install a custom rom. I've been searching through the topics and there seems to be alot of different posts on how to do it. I'm not sure which to use and which rom is the most stable. If someone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. I think the work everyone does is nothing short of amazing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] slicedcheese:
as for unlocking here is a great guide simple and easy. http://www.teamuscellular.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=105&t=1221

also after you unlock make sure to flash cwm.
[Motorola Photon 4G] themac79:
Thank you very much for your help and quick reply.
[Motorola Photon 4G] slicedcheese:
no problem I actually just did this procedure with no error. I'm also somewhat of a noob so if I can do it I know you can. I am interested though in seeing what people say about custom roms I know joker has one for the electrify and there is one for cm7 jokers people have been having problems with (electrify users).
[Motorola Photon 4G] themac79:
I've unlocked my electrify and installed the custom recovery, but I didn't see in the post how to actually install a custom rom or kernel. Do I install from sd card with CWM in fastboot. I made a backup, and was wanting to try CM7 with Joker's 1.4 highpro for cm7 old-oc ver.3.
[Defy General] Juliannb:
Hi there :).

I'm new in this forum, and I hope be clear and a good user.

I'm too desperate T-T. After install MIUI for Defy, I uninstalled de 2nd-init Defy and the phone get stuck in the bootloop and the blue LED... I don't know what to do, I tried to reinstall the ROM with the recovery, but the only options I have are "Lastest recovery", "Stable recovery" and "Stock recovery", and neither option works... What I have to do? I'm about to cry, really... I know what is the problem, but I don't know how to solve it, I'm so sad, desperate and edgy, and I don't know that the hell I have to do!

Please... please, tell me there's something I can do. Sorry by the words and the expresions, and I hope you understand me. By the whay, I don't care losing everything because I didn't erase the last backup.

Thanks.

PS: Sorry if I mess the thread, if this isn't the right forum, make me know and erase it
[Defy General] farsight73:
I think you need to reflash again from froyo that came with the phone using rsdlite.

Do a full wipe in recovery and follow with flashing sbf file. Take a look in HERE first.

Why did you come up with the idea of uninstalling 2nd-init in the first place??
[Defy General] Juliannb:
Ok, I read your post and, call me ignorant, but I don't get it... I've installed MIUI 1.11.18 for Defy that came with Gingerbread 2.3.7 (if I'm not wrong), and, in your post, you say "No downgrade for all Android 2.3.4 to FROYO ; Use only the nandroid backup.", so... can't I flash from Android 2.3.7 (MIUI Defy) to Froyo 2.2.1 (Personal, Argentina) with RSDlite, or did I misunderstand?

Btw...

Really, I don't know, I thought it would not affect... Noob's fail and I hope never do it again.

I'll get started as soon as you reply me this... I don't want to fail again :(.

Thanks for the answer, you gave me hope :D.

Thanks :).
[Defy General] Juliannb:
I fixed it!! :D

Thank you, farsight73, your post was usefull :D :D!

I flashed the phone with the RSD Lite 4.9. Then, I had a infinite bootloop. What did I do? I did what adlersd say:

I did that and works perfectly.

Thanks for everything, I'm so happy :D.

Thanks :).
[Defy General] farsight73:
Glad everything worked out for you there..
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
This is one of the reasons that I hate installing new ROMs and restoring data, it never seems to work correctly. I just installed the newest CleanGB (which I love btw). I restored the data and the app "Point Inside" was showing that it needed to be updated, however it didn't have an update option when I went into it.

I tried clearing the Market cache but that option doesn't seem to exist any more (button is grayed out). I have rebooted my phone, uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, and it is still happening. The minute I reinstall it, it shows there is an update available, but there is none available.

Any ideas??? This is really getting to me now.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
It will clear up in a day or two. I get that once in awhile on an app then the next day it's gone.
[Xoom General] gonintendo:
I have a 4g xoom that I bought used and use only on wifi. Does flashing a rom that doesn't support 4g simply disable 3/4g? Or will it not work at all? Are xoom roms even worth flashing or is a kernel a big enough speed increase?
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Flashing the Odachi kernel will give you overclocking and lots of added functions while preserving your 3G/4G. It's good to keep it even if you don't plan to use it.
[Xoom General] gonintendo:
Would I not be able to flash back to stock to get it back?
[Xoom General] magoo5289:
I actually moved back to an OS that deliberately does NOT have 3G/4G. I don't have the service and just use WiFi but even in Zirplane mode, after the upgrade, my battery life went from days to hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mzaur:
Hi guys,

Please help me out. I'm about to pull my hair out!!

I installed Kies and the USB drivers, but everytime I try to USB tether, Windows 7 fails to install the driver. I tried uninstalling the Samsung drivers on the computer where it won't work, but it still won't install.

The weird thing is that I plugged in the phone into another computer also running win 7 and that computer easily found the right driver and installed it. Didn't need to install Samsung drivers.

What happens is the driver is downloaded, tries to install, then gives me an error. I attached an image of the error I get. Any advice would be appreciated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
There's a program called driver magician that allows you to take and save a driver off one computer and restore it in another.

If you don't go that route you can always leave the phone plugged in and open hardware manager. Then delete your phone. When it asked choose to delete the driver with it.

Then try it again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mzaur:
Thanks. That didn't work, but I figured it out!

For anyone who has a similar problem with installing a driver, open up setupapi.dev.log in notepad which is located in c:\windows\inf -- it's kind of a labyrinth to navigate, but I found that I was missing a file which it was looking for. I then found that file on another computer, put it into c:\windows\inf and it worked. There were two missing files actually, usb8023x.sys and rndismpx.sys. Took me all day but finally got USB tethering working.

Unfortunately wifi tethering doesn't work (no internet connection) -- anyone get that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Nice work.

Never had issues with wifi tethering. Have you made any changes to your phone? Root, rom, ect?

Sent from my páhhōniē
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mzaur:
I'm on stock ROM but I did root it to delete the tetheringmanager apk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
When I was on stock I did that too with no issues. Try downloading a tethering app from the market like barnacle and see if that makes a difference.

[HTC Amaze 4G] audri5:
I have searched everywhere for this and can't find anything so hopefully someone can help.

When I get a text message often it comes through 2 or 3 times. I am using the stock text message program. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? It is driving me crazy!
[HTC Amaze 4G] RZJZA80:
Has to be a tmo thing because I get doubles sometimes, or out of order and I use handcent.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kruschman:
Just got my Amaze yesterday and I've had this issue today as well. Was using my MyTouch 4G yesterday without the problem.
[HTC Amaze 4G] johnk1973:
I get this too on O2 (uk) so must be an Amaze thing! lol

Never had it before the Amaze..
[HTC Amaze 4G] saulcho009:
possible fix

I had this problem too. What I did was delete all contact duplicates that are in the phone and sim card. So only Google and Facebook should be left to handle contacts.
[HTC Amaze 4G] RZJZA80:
I had it before on my g2x also.
[HTC Amaze 4G] audri5:
Please tell me how to do this. When I go to my contact list it only shows one entry but if I want to add someone to favorites it shows 2 or more sometimes. I can't edit them from here though. I REALLY hate that the phone stores them all over. I want ONE google contact list and nothing else. I think it is Facebook causing this. I don't want any Facebook stuff in my contact list. If you can help me delete all the extras I would love it. I have no sim card contacts and no Facebook should show. Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
I discovered that I could select which contacts to use in the Contacts app. So I only show the ones on the phone. However, I did not get multiple SMS even when I had all contacts showing, so I don't know why yours would do that.

EDIT: The main gripe I have is that it automatically selects the contacts picture if they have a facebook profile picture. But it isn't that big a deal.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
FB Account Removal

If you don't want any FB contacts to show removed your FB account under settings>accounts and sync>FB for HTC Sense>remove account
[HTC Amaze 4G] RZJZA80:
Here is the kicker, I only get dupes with one person, and that person is not even saved to my contacts. This has happened to this phone and my g2x, can anyone explain that?
[HTC Amaze 4G] davidktk:
I'm getting the same issues but it's only happening in the last week or so.
[HTC Amaze 4G] shimmyjamily:
The same thing happens to me just about every single day. It pisses me off. :mad: I get about 2 or 3 texts from the same person. The sound on my phone sounds like it's having a seizure because it's not suspecting a rapid fire of texts. Why, why, why? If someone knows the answer, feel free to chime in. I use the stock sms app and have uninstalled google voice, but that didn't help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bigv69er:
I get em too..but only MMS
[HTC Amaze 4G] mylexon20s:
Happens to me constantly, usually when I'm connected to wifi at home. I'm currently using Quik sense, but i doubt its the ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] RZJZA80:
It's not a Rom issue, I'm not even rooted. I still think it's a tmo issue.
[HTC Amaze 4G] audri5:
It only seems to be happening on the Amaze though. I called t-mobile cs who pushed me through to tech supp. They couldn't figure it out either.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bluemoon737:
I wonder if it's a 2G/4G thing. I have it happen from time to time but it usually happens when I'm in an area with spotty 4G so the phone is toggling back and forth between 2G and 4G. I've had them come immediately together and then also within about 30 seconds of each other so it looks like it might be signal related? I guess the way to find out would be to force the phone to 2G only or 4G only and see if it goes away.
[HTC Amaze 4G] domin8:
For those of you looking to clean up your contacts list. you can hit menu > view > and uncheck all of the things you don't want to show. I for example only show 'my contacts' and 'favorites' from google, and dont show facebook at all. That way only contacts i have on my phone on purpose that are linked to facebook will show, otherwise the extra 500+ people aren't in there. also, theres a setting on gmail if you go to your contacts page > settings > create contacts for auto-complete> and pick 'I'll add contacts myself'. This makes it so any time you email a new address or get a new email it doesn't just store the email address to your phone and gmail account. Really cuts down on clutter. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] johnk1973:
It's definitely a phone/ROM issue. As I've said before I'm on O2 (UK) and never had this problem before.

I've cleaned my contacts up as suggested and haven't had a problem in 1/2 a week..

It could be a radio ROM problem.. new 4G chip-set, new kernel,, maybe the phone isn't telling the network properly it has received the message and it is being resent?

So what's the difference if you Flash the Zip?:confused::p
[TouchPad General] Truth650:
Good question, it probably Just refines it a bit more. I can speak for the .apk, and tell you that it changes all download screens to a blue thin bar and changes the main menu screens to a nice gray color, and your taskbar to that blue shade, and changes your on- screen hardware buttons a bit. Overall I was satisfied enough not to install the zip.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragonfyr:
I am new to Nook Color.

I am wanting to Run CM7 from an SD card and found a website that offers one prebuilt. I dont mind learning at all and would like to make one myself.

The question is, the premade one has some sort of a countdown built in where

I can choose to let it auto countdown and it will boot to CM.

If I want to boot to the Stock Nook Software, I can press a button during the countdown and do that without having to removed the SD Card.

Where would i Find the instructions on this?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koopakid08:
This is built in to your standard SD card install I believe. Once you made the card I'm pretty sure you can hold down the N button to get a boot selection screen.

---------------------------------
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angomy:
if you do a search in the dev forum here, verygreen's agnostic SD install has a boot that gives you the option to either boot the default (priority without being modified is SD), or go into boot choice menu, where you can choose to boot from the Nook itself (EMMC) or into recovery mode.

The instructions he provides are very clear, if you run into any problems feel free to ask us.

I say this because I *really, really hate* morally corrupt vendors that sell SD card installs of _open source, freely developed_ ROMS without any reference or compensation to the people who put in their free time to make them for us.

I can't tell you how many times I've met people at B&N who say, "Well I know a guy who will sell me an SD card for $50, is that a good price?" Makes me breathe fire every time.

/soapbox off :p
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
The pre-made card offers a choice when you first boot up, either CM7 or the stock ROM. You do not have to remove the card.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidr415:
If you install CM7 or MiUi on an SD card, power up holding the N button, you have a choice of that ROM or stock Nook.. You do not have to remove your SD card..

OP,

I would suggest you doing it on your own, it isn't that hard, if I can do, you can do also, plus you will have vastly help from others if hitting problem.

[Droid Incredible General] donnyp1:
So i had this issue about a month ago. My phone got submerged in water. I shut it off, took batttery out, blow dried it, and let it sit over night. Next day fired right up with no issues. About 2 weeks later, battery life goes in the toilet. Goes dead in 4 hours with no use. So i bought a new battery thinking that would fix it, but no, it did not. I can understand the phone having issues after getting totally soaked while turned on, but in the past, display used most of the battery, now im getting android os as the culprit. Its strange, what would change from display to android os just by getting wet?. Ive tried multiple roms, its always the same. Any suggestions? Fyi, it dropped in the toilet, nothing worse than seeing your phone screen on while shining up thru the water!
[Droid Incredible General] RamAir02:
You should just be happy it still works at all :D

...but sorry I can't be of any assistance in this matter. I would probably just try and start from scratch by flashing a stock 2.2 RUU and then rerooting and installing a custom ROM.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Is everything working such as the sensors, compas, wifi, bluetooth, gps? If one of their chips got fried the os may be constantly trying to load or access something that is not working, therfore killing the battery. FYI the perfered method for drying a soaked phone is to put it in a bag of rice for a couple days. Blow drying just pushes the watter in deeper, and if you do it to much the heat can mess up the circuit board.
[Droid Incredible General] donnyp1:
Everything works just fine. Im stumped.
[Droid Incredible General] accord1:
I guess if I was in your situation, I would try this first to see how that works. If it fixes it then awesome! If not, you know something else is wrong:-(
[Droid Incredible General] SynisterWolf:
are you sure all the water is gone? also the minerals in water will stick around long after the water is gone i bet there is something in there that is shorting it out but on a small scale.

i would suggest to take the phone apart and make sure you dont see any white or milky deposits on the MB or any where else. if you see some you can use 91% or higher isopropyl, (rubbing alcohol) i would use 98% but its harder to get, you can find it at a medical supply store though. Clean up the board and let it air dry before putting it all back together.

taking the phone apart is fairly simple you just need to be patient. i used this video when i needed to swap screens.

[Droid Incredible General] donnyp1:
Ill give that a try when i get home, thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] donnyp1:
Took it apart a few days ago, no residue at all, then bam, today phone dead in 3 hours. Put it on xharger, got it fully charged, removed from xharger 5 hours ago, and im at 70% battery! I have no clue, i changed nothing , it just started holding a charge again.
