I don't know the interface in wp7 is really unified and has the same design language in all of its apps. I used to own a sgs but I find wp7 really pleasent to use over android. I also like that I dpn have to put sp much work into the phone but with android there are cool things that you can do with it. I won't pit android down but each isn't one size fits all

It's a simple interface...but way to simple for me. Plus the app market is severely lacking.

does anyone know how to convert the titanium backup files in an apk.

I have an calc widget that I want install on another phone but this phone cannot b rooted.

I dont want to root this persons phone
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a senile fungus:
I guess I would just restore the app onto your phone and make a copy of the apk that way. Then transfer it to their phone and install it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Without being rooted, I'm not sure.

Does adb or Droid explorer work on a non rooted phone? If so, extract the calculator app out of the TB Backup and push it with ADB or batch install it with Droid Explorer
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a senile fungus:
I think the problem lies in the fact that when one makes a titanium backup, the apk extension changes and it can only be restored using TB.

@thesssfactor,

Is your phone rooted? If I were you I'd restore the backup onto your phone. Navigate with a file explorer to /data/app and find and copy the apk that you restored. Then just copy it over to the other phone, or send it in an email or something. That way its an actual apk that can be installed on the nonrooted phone.

Also, you'll have to allow that other phone to install non-market apps. That option is in setting (I think its under the development option)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
Nah I've taken apks from titanium backups and given them to others or used them in apk manager and tweaked them and reinstalled them. It just saves them in a weird format but u can extract that using 7zip and get the apk
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a senile fungus:
Thanks smurf, I didn't know that.

I do most everything directly from my phone these days. (I'm a phonely person (phone only))

Thanks for the info

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
I'm here to helpish lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
He's right. If you unzip the .zip file with the apk extension, the apps are in there and can be extracted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesssfactor:
Nice, I am going to have to try this out.

The reason why I posted this because i want to put the calc widget on my tablet but I refuse to doing extra for my boss (like rooting his tablet).

The reason why I am putting the calc widget on it, is because I use it for payroll.

I'll do an guide later on how to extract it help out our fellow users.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richua:
I got my phone in May 2011 and have used it all over the San Francisco bay area where supposedly there's good 4G coverage. However, I've never gotten 4G speeds before either with stock or CM7. The only time I've seen the 4G icon on CM7 was a bad commit on a nightly. My best test speed is around 500 kbps. Signal strength is always good though.

Is this a network saturation problem or could it be related to my specific device? I do have the newer SIM card that came with the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
make sure your network settings are not forcing edge only... thats the only thing i can think of...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richua:
Everything looks good here. I'll stop by the store tomorrow and see if any of the demo phones get 4G.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jufjufjuf:
Remember this phone only has HSPA+, which is technically classified as '4G'. So make sure you check out the HSPA+ phones and not LTE phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
Yah if you don't have the "use only 2g" un-checked your not gonna get 4G speeds.

The only things you should be getting on your phone is 2G/4G because technically 4G is the same as everyone elses 3G. Just different throttling parameters i believe.

Anyhoo, try another ROM...if your still on Froyo 2.2 then go for Ultimate ROM and go from there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richua:
Tmo rep at the store said to try the new baseband to see if it helps (I have the March baseband). Other than that, everything checked out OK. Since they're not doing exchanges on this phone anymore, I can hang on until a better device comes along.

Thanks for everyone's input though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shawndh:
I just bought an HTC Inspire from a woman on craigslist and I think I've just been "had." The phone was in excellent condition with the box and all. It just had a cracked screen. I replaced the digitizer but then realized that it would not read the sd card. Sometimes it would read and sometimes not. I tried a different card and same thing. Would not read. Only time it would read was if I had the phone open. So I took the sim/sd card reader out and replaced it with another from a different Inspire. Same thing. One card says read only, while the other was fine while the phone was open. The "read only" card seems to have been corrupted but the the other card was a known good card. When I close it up it doesn't detect a storage card.

I thought I'd be able to fix this by replacing that card reader but this seems like it may just be a bad motherboard. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
Is it rooted;? Cause if I'm not mistaken you can disable the mounting for Sd card not to be read or you can install the drivers for the HTC inspire from the HTC web site if u have not already done that

I had a problem like that. I replaced the sd sim card flex tray and fixed it. Bought the part on ebay for about £7. I had to buy three before I got one that worked though.

[HTC Inspire 4G] shawndh:
I fixed it.

I think the flex cable got wet or something. I had two different SIM card flexes but the other one I had was bad as well. I cleaned the board and the original flex connector with some heavy duty contact cleaner (Pure Tronics) an it started working again.

I have to figure out how to Root and S-Off this phone. Seems the Hack Kit thread from attn1 has been closed though.

[EVO 4G General] jeffrimerman:
I've searched and searched but I think the answer is no. I had an earlier post, but now I know the only way will be through fastboot since it is s-on so no point in putting any PC36IMG file on the root of the sd card. There was an unbrick program that seemed to connect, but I don't think it did anything, but it seemed to access the phone since it showed the phone in the C prompt. Just wondering if there is anything out there like "Evo_Brickfix" that uses fastboot. Thanks

Edit: I found a one click fast boot fix for bootlooping another android phone. I wonder if it can be adapted for the evo or maybe it is made for rooted phone that have s-off
[EVO 4G General] eggsack:
I was just told, that, if you can get into flashboot, then you can do anything.

Like usb toggle and use an RUU file from your pc.
[EVO 4G General] jeffrimerman:
If you mean fastboot then that would be great. I'll have to read up or look for someone going over how to use RUU. Thanks
[EVO 4G General] jeffrimerman:
Ok so I searched and found an RUU exe file that actually put a different new stock ROM, but it still boot loops. When I'm in the bootloader I can see that the HBOOT is updated from .79 to 2.4 and the date has changed to 2011 versus 2010 so I know it RUUed in just fine. Now I just need an RUU file that will fix the recovery or something besides the ROM?

Edit: ok after I took battery out and boot it up this morning 8 hrs ago it didn't boot loop as of now isn't boot looping. So maybe it needed to power down and whatever was boot looping needed to reset. Maybe while it's working I should s-off it. Does anyone know what will root it with newer ROM? It is dated August 2011 SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.24.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_NV_2.15_release_199233_signed. Is there even a ROOT for it now. I'll google to see.
[EVO 4G General] jeffrimerman:
It started bootlooping again =(. I went ahead and use REVOLUTIONARY to s-off it and install a recovery. I put the same ROM I have on my evo, Kings Shooter something something, but then it looped even worse, so I put another ROM that was only 200mb versus 333mb. It is Team Nocturnal 4.54 something something and is working fine so far. Maybe my Kings Shooter is corrupted since I've moved it around from computer to computer. I can't imagine how a different rom would fix the bootloop, but maybe when you load another rom it fixes whatever is corrupt and causing the phone to go into looping. Something else I noticed, when I would leave the phone with no battery for hours, it would then boot up fine and run for a lil bit then boot again and get worse. So maybe it loaded something into memory that when left with no battery wasn't present to start with but after being powered, then stayed on. In fact, when it is boot looping, all I needed to do was put the battery back in and it would start again without me even having to press the on button. Oh, well hopefully it is working fine now. But in case anyone searches and finds this thread they can see my specific problem and solution and maybe it can help someone else.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlecTaylor:
In that case, what's the best with sense?

:)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoffmas:
belongs to what sense you want ;) 2.1 / 3.0 or 3.5 ?

2.1 i would recommend virtuous sense 2.0

3.0 ...virtuous unity

3.5 ...beatmod bliss sense or virtuous affinity, also rcmix is very good (went back to affinity cause of the light brightness)

...if you install a sense rom (specially 3.0 or 3.5) i would suggest to apply some tweaks: enable swap (swap partition or swapper2), change your system partition to ext4 (using 4ext recovery) and have a look at the supercharger thread (because multitasking is a bit laggy due to low memory)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiwaz:
I suggest you use G2-Slim. This is without sense but has launcher pro as the stock launcher. It also has cool animations if you upgrade to the launcher pro plus edition you also get the (almost identical) sense widgets for people, friends hub, twitter, facebook, message, etc.

The G2-Slim ROM is extremely fast in comparison with other ROMS. Everyone will advise something else to use but it's yours to decide. So take a week flashing and get the best out of it.

I highly suggest you try at least:

-G2-Slim

-Bulletproof MIUI

-Cyanogenmod

I'm not known with the newest sense ROMS atm as I tried a lot of them but in my opinion was the peformence to low and the sense based ROMS I tried had a lot bugs in it too.

So that's my advice and do with it what you want! GL :).

I've had my galaxy nexus for just over a week and I think I'm having battery issues.

2. Keep the volume buttons pressed until you see a white screen with blue text.

3. Press the Down Volume button to confirm the Hard reset.

4. Press again the Down Volume button to restart the phone. Follow the Windows Phone configuration wizard, then reboot your phone again (just a simple reboot).

Hey guys, Im trying to help someone who has previously flashed a full 2.3.4 sbf.

He has done the downgrade and says that now 2nd init will not install no matter what. Says he has tried every version of 2nd init and no go! My question is, does the 2.3.4 flash somehow screw up install of 2nd init even after downgrade? Could he use the old school Tenfar's Recovery to install the CM7 and from there use the preinstalled 2nd init included in CM7 to install Ms2Ginger 2.1? I know he can't use Tenfar's recovery to install Ms2Ginger 2.1 because it doesn't include Advanced Restore options to restore devtree etc. as stated in the Ms2Ginger 2.1 installation instructions.

Does this 2.3.4 downgrade allow a simple .zip install of CM7 thru Tenfar's Recovery?

or will he still need some sort of fixed sbf to boot after flashing CM7 zip

AND (sorry guys) won't he need to create a new fixed sbf to install Ms2Ginger 2.1? I mean won't he need to use the included fixed sbf and depack it to swap CG31.smg with one from 2.3.4 sbf to maintain CG31.smg level 5?

Thanks to anyone who can help here!

ummm..... Not sure you guys read the post correctly. He has already downgraded from 2.3.4! I guess I didn't mention this but ya, he has rooted his phone too! He says that when he clicks to install 2nd init it says success but at the top still reads that 2nd init is NOT currently installed. Upon rebooting he does NOT get a blue led flash and is in a boot loop as well!
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
You can use tenfar old recovery to update your bootmenu with the version in msginger 2.1 post, there's a flashable zip there with bootmenu+cwm. Dunno if this will work. You can try to install a 2nd init 1.4.2 or bootmenu via adb too, search the first bootmenu topic and you find how to do it.
