Well I Have A Little Idea, I Have Had A Few Friends That Have Gotten Their Phone Stolen, So The Normal Thief Would Turn It On And Wipe The Phone Through The Settings, My Idea Is Taking Off The Wipe Option In The Settings. Now We All Know Those Apps That Help Find Your Phone, Actually Work. But Most Of Us Between Switching Roms, Forget To Install It. So By The Time Some One Is Searching How To Wipe The Phone, We Can Download The App From The Market Webpage And Find Our Phone, Maybe It'd Be Possible To Disguise The Wipe Option In The Recovery Menu? I Don't Know If It's Possible (I'm Sure It Is) Or If I'm The Only One That Is Wanting This.. Let Me Know Any Ideas Or If There Is A Developer That'd Be Able To Help With This
[Nexus S General] thelamacmdr:
I think it'd be possible to remove the menu option in the recovery by modifying the source but you'd want to enable some sort of combination of keypresses or some script to be able to wipe when you actually need/want to wipe it

Not Sure If Trolling Or Just Stupid...
[Nexus S General] thelamacmdr:
How did you even find the internet?
[Nexus S General] Erickomen27:
Hmm, I Actually Like That, I Was Thinking Maybe Disguising The Name, But Actually Using A Script Might Be Nice.

Explain How?

[Nexus S General] McDV:
I think the average thief maybe would wipe, but he will not use the recovery for that, because he won't know what it is.

If he should know, he will surely just flash back a stock ROM before selling the phone. You won't be able to do anything against that.

If there is only a "normal thief", you could do it another way: You would need an app, that is flashed into the system partition, is working completely stealthy in the background and has all it's configs in the system-partition (maybe for installing and editing the settings there could be a user app with root-access).

If the thief then just wipes the phone, i.e. from within the Android-menu, this app will stay and work. He would have to flash a new ROM to get rid of it.
[Nexus S General] Erickomen27:
Hmm So Basically Just Add The App Into The Rom Like Any System App, Ok That Sounds Good Too Lol, And The Only Reason I Know About The Recovery Menu Thing Is Because, If There Is A Password Then Usually Some People Google How To Wipe The Phone If They "Forgot" Their Password.
[Nexus S General] corythug:
Cerebrus in rom manager does exactly this, no? Once flashed it runs completely in the background and no way of knowing its there or get rid of it outside of cwm.

Follow the leader @corythug ;)

Im sure Ive asked before and its gotta be easy but seem after I use quick reboot to go through recovery or maybe something else I ll reboot and it shows my app icon but cant access. Thought it had something to do with usb debug?

[HTC EVO 3D] dblkspecial:
Are nandroid backups made with twrp compatible with cwm? And what's the best recovery?
[HTC EVO 3D] Twolazyg:
No. They are two completely different recoveries made by two different teams. Some people will say CWM is the best, some will say TWRP is the best. I have used both, TWRP on the 3d and CWM on the hero.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
there is some cross compatibility depending on which version of each recovery.

i know both recoveries use the same/similar methods to backup the kernel, i.e. dump the whole kernel partition to an image file.

twrp calls this file: boot.win and cwm calls it boot.img. they are the same file and same file type even though the "extension" is different. the extension doesnt matter in linux, so the only difference is irrelevant regarding content type.

i know twrp still dumps the system and data partitions to an image. i know cwm used to dump them to an image but i think recently cwm switched to created .tar files for system and data partitions? not sure, would have to double check that.

hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] PatrickHuey:
as the person said before, you can load certain things from some backups. but they are not fully reflashable in both recoveries. i tried TWR but i didnt like it as much as CWM. koush's recovery is very simply and straight forward. but its honestly all preference.
[HTC EVO 3D] dblkspecial:
Cool. Figured I'd ask cuz I'm fresh over to the 3D from the EVO 4G and I know amon ra recovery was better than cwm
[HTC EVO 3D] thos25:
I had cwm, but switched twrp Recently. Cwm is a nice basic recovery. Twrp has some more advanced features. Personally, I've gotten pretty familiar with twrp and I prefer it over Cwm.

Specifically... I like the ability to flash Multiple zips in a row. I also like the ability to wipe straight from the flash zip menu. I also like that it is themeable. That's my 2c.

I've been hearing that this isn't even worth doing over 3g... too laggy

can anybody confirm or deny? if it doesn't come from XDA, I don't accept it :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Odom Project:
Not no but hell no over 3g. I can't even run it on wifi, on 4g at 7mb/S it physically loads n "plays", but controls lag so bad its pointless. Maybe with an honest 10mb/S wifi it might be playable but I just don't get the connection required.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] devi59:
Worked fine for me on wifi

Works good on my SGSII, no lag at all and great graphics. Didn't get my free Batman game, but whatever the screen (even though it's 4.5") is far to small to play console games on.

I havent tried it on 3g or 4g but it works just fine over wifi at 20mbps :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akaiNe-iSolutions:
Eman. The better the connection the better it plays. Here in NC I can't play on the computer since I'm using wireless, it requires 3mb connection for PC, not 7, because it works for me on my phone too even though it lags and looks horrible at this speed I know when I'm in a good connection it will be sweet

I got my full darksiders game last year for 5 bucks for the full game and someday I'm gonna get ut3. Its good if you don't have a gfx card and have a good connection you can game... even if a BS CPU....
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thor:
Okay, So have an xperia play here. I was using Flashtool to update the firmware on it.

A few moments later it popped up saying

08/016/2011 05:16:36 - INFO - Flashing system.sin 08/016/2011 05:16:47 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted

It then asks me to disconnect the phone, Turn it on and then enable usb debugging and unknown sources.

The phone no longer boots fully, Just to an exclamation mark in a triangle.

Anyway anyone can give me some help here and guide me in the right direction.

The phone does have an unlocked bootloader and I'm pretty sure it can't be unlocked. At least that is what it said on the phone.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
If you can remember your original firmware, try re-flashing that version by FTF (or use sony ericsson's update tool, "Sony Ericsson Update Service" I believe)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ff7fan4eva:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1313505

Just get that .ftf and try again, what's happened is you have essentially removed the system and overwritten it with a half copied system image thus the error.

With flashtool you get this sometimes, just keep trying until everything's completed
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thor:
Excellent mate, Worked like a charm.

I kept failing a few times, But i noticed it was getting further on the progress bar each time.

So I got rid of the extension cable i was using and plugged directly into the computer, For the laugh and it worked and flashed fully.

Phone is now booted.

Thanks again for the help, I really appreciate it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thor:
Okay, I think i may have spoken too soon.

While the phone has booted up and is working.

The Sim card is not being recognised anymore, It just says there is no sim inserted even though there is.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ff7fan4eva:
If your going from stock onwards I think there's an issue with sim cards . Take out the sim and micro SD card . Turn off phone . Put in sim card only boot up make sure sim is okay if not try again then put in micro SD turn off. Turn on... fixed it for me
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thor:
Tried a few things like that but nothing got it working.

Luckily its not my phone and i only got it last week for a friend, So i brought back and they replaced it there and then.

Got the new one and rooted it, It's working perfectly now.

I'm a Samsung guy myself, So never had to deal with the locked bootloader crap. Damn you Sony and your idiotic rules.

So thanks Ff7fan4eva for the help, I really appreciate it

Something weird that I noticed on my phone is that it will say that it's fully charged but if I take it off the charger it drops to 96 and resumes charging. I've wiped the stats multiple times and it still does it. Btw I'm using virus infected Rom r149

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deltadood24:
Your battery might not be calibrated.. mine use to do that all the time. You can wipe battery stats in recovery or run your battery all the way down and when it says "100%" reboot your phone. Worked for me hope it does for you too.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeftyGR:
Yeah. Calibration may be it. Charge to full. Completely discharge without plugging in. Charge to full without unplugging. Unplug for a minute. Charge to full again. Calibrate while plugged in. Then unplug. Theres an app on the market that works well... Basically wipes stats without having to do through recovery.

Anyone know a nice simple kickstand we can use for the Kindle Fire? I bought a leather case from Amazon for $25, but haven't grown much into liking the bulkiness it adds :/

This is the case I bought btw: (http://www.amazon.com/splash-SIGNAT...FSOQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323321993&sr=8-1)

Please tell me someone knows of a nice kickstand? I may even trade the case for it if interested.

Or a more literal answer to your question of "Just a kickstand" http://www.amazon.com/Compatible-kickStand-computer-aluminum-reinforced/dp/B005VCIARW/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1323327232&sr=1-1-catcorr Which is literally just a kickstand, seems impractical though.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] ags29:

If I could find something that looked just like an L and was lightweight and thin, I would be in heaven.

If all depends on the kind of SBF that you flashed. If you have flashed a FULL sbf then you can't downgrade most likely. If you flashed a FIXED sbf then downgrading shouldn't be a problem.

I made the same mistake in the beginning but luckily I only flashed a FULL 2.2 sbf which is stable. For now I always start from this rom, get root on my phone using superoneclick, install 2ndinit, reboot into 2ndinit recovery (volume down when led turns blue) and I install the nandroid backup that I placed on My SD card using "install from zip".

It would help if you gave some more info on which sbf you flashed?

Wiped SD using CWM

So I had a problem almost the same.

I was using JellyBelly 4.2, and didn't like it. I wanted to go back to Cyan 10.0 and installed the files on my phone. I decided it was a good time to wipe everything, and started to do so. One of the files was the SD format. So I did that, and then wipe/data factory reset. Crap. So now I have no rom installed, and no files on my SD card.

I need help to place my zip files for CM 10 on my SD card (they are on my MAC now). I can't start up my phone to enable file transfer. I can only boot into CWM recovery. Is there a (step by step) way to push files from my MAC onto the SD card? Or is there a different way to tackle this?

I have a GNex (Toro) VZW

MacBook running snow leopard.

I am afraid that anything give me advice on you're gonna have to pretend that I am really dumb and need step by step directions. I tried to push via ADB but got this error, I don't know the correct commands for that. View attachment 1508775 Any suggestions?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
FIrst make sure you added the tools directory to your PATH.

There's a guide on how to set up the sdk on a mac: http://peter.boctor.net/2010/12/02/installing-the-android-sdk-on-mac-os-x/

you can skip the eclipse parts.

Of course, make sure you use your own path.

After that, adb should be recognized as a command.

To push, use this:

adb push "file.zip" /sdcard/file.zip

change "file.zip" for the location and name of the zip.

I often place files on my Home directory before pushing since it then only requires I specify the file name.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muken:
Hello,

I have tried to tune the auto brightness levels with the CyanogenMod Settings, but it seems that there is a threshold that makes values below 20 to not be any darker than 20.

My problem is that I use my phone for playing music when I'm driving, however I have to turn the screen off since it is way to bright when it is sitting in the windscreen at night.

Can anyone confirm if this is the case and if there is something that can be done to lower the brightness below 20?

I have previously read this thread about lowering the auto brightness levels on other ROMs. However this feature is already in CM7, but my experience is that it can't be lowered below 20...

Thanks!
