[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
What I hate about the stock keyboard is very few long-press shortcuts, like /, numbers, etc.. I HATE having to go into a separate mode for them.

And the ICS keyboard has a bunch of keys in the bottom-right area which I keep hitting by accident.. I dunno why but I kept hitting "," repeatedly last night on ICS.

I think I'll just keep using Swiftkey X ;)
[Nook Color General] mr72:
Yes, I seriously missed this for a while after switching from the HTC_IME_mod. But then I figured out something.

The numbers on the stock GB keyboard are there for long-press, same for the ICS keyboard. Most punctuation is there in the prediction area. Missing are "/", "@" and some others that might be useful, but most of what you normally need is there without a long-press.
[Nook Color General] cmstlist:
Just in case you may not have noticed - for numbers and punctuation you can now hold on the ?123, glide to the character you want, let go, and it snaps back to the letter keyboard. Quicker than three taps.

SOrry Guys Forgot 2 mention earlier. I moved To Xperia Mini Pro, So any1 else can take over and help PPL here taking hell outta there explorer

How to:

1. Download the files - "HTC Pico_Recovery,Boot with ext 2 3 4 support" , "BCM4330.KO" "superuser" from Below link,

"Superuser.zip" - http://www.4shared.com/file/KalrHXNj/Superuser.html

"Bcm4330.ko" - http://www.4shared.com/file/GbW0ZtaT/bcm4330.html

"HTC Pico_Recovery,Boot with ext 2 3 4 support" - http://www.4shared.com/zip/920-kXYc/HTC_Pico_RecoveryBoot_with_ext.html

2. Extract "HTC Pico_Recovery,Boot with ext 2 3 4 support" somewhere. say: desktop or some drive, copy "BCM4330.ko" onto ur adb "Tools" folder. Copy superuser.zip to ur Sdcard.

3. connect ur "Htc explorer(Pico) via USB" and open "recovery.bat from the folder u just extracted.

4. Wait relax, and watch ur device getting new underGarments. now as the time pass the "command Prompt" which just opened after opening "recovery.bat'' will show "adb reboot recovery" as the device boots to recovery, u will given new menu with blue fonts.

5. Now in recovery go to "Mount & Storage" and select "mount /system" with device connect via USB

6. I presume u have adb already setup on ur pc/laptop. Open "CMD" and type.

adb shell mv -f /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.bak
adb push /full/path/to/bcm4330.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.ko

7. Now, select "unmount /system" from recovery menu (from where u earlier mounted /system)

8. select "goback" from below. now go to "install zip from SDcard. and and slect first open (which says choose zip from sdcard, or somthing like this). find the "superuser.zip" which u copied to ur sdcard and flash by selecting it.

9. Now if flashing goes smooth and it says "install zip from sd complete" then reboot ur device and enjoy.

For getting more space on ur device, download "link2sd"

For link2sd to work, i have attached tutorial for this (which i found by googleing) in Jpeg format (picture)

after getting link2sd to work , u can link the apps to sdcard and save more on device.

there is another option for getting more space on device.

Just download "terminal emulator" from market. pls note: u need to be rooted for this.

and give su permission to the app when prompted.

just enter

su
pm setInstallLocation 2

now u will be taken to the next line and thats all

all ur apps will be installed to sdcard automatically. please note: when installing widgets, pls move them back to ur phone memory as they dont work on sdcard

Suggestion:

You can pm me if you have some confusions or facing some problems rather than going some where else. I am always happy to help and there for the android community

Hey jitin02,

Thanks a lot for the post... But here are some changes I had to do to root my phone.

a. To install recovery:

The bat file kept waiting for the device infinitely. I just manually ran the two fastboot commands and the reboot command to setup recovery.

b. Copying superuser files:

Your method of extracting the zip file and then pushing them over to the /system directory will surely not work on windows systems, especially FAT32 file system computer, su file will not have executable rights when its copied into the dir.

right way is

copy superuser.zip to sdcard

boot into recovery

choose install from a zip option and point to that zip

Thanks for the post!

WIFI error and solution!!

rooted the phone manually with .cmd and then installed .zip from sd card.

when rebooting no wifi connection (error) and then formated using recovery but it didnt reboot (supose i have no rom installed now =$) how can i install another one, is there any for explorer?

any compatible rom would be fine for the time being.. =S

EDIT: found a ROM at last from a chineese site, (Eng and chinese languaje) the first one out there!!

here is the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3RC9EE9Z

[Android General] jitin02:

this method is only to root
[Android General] Dante Leonheart:
Unfortunately I bricked mine too. Oddly everything was fine for a while. Until it starting giving a wi-fi error and after that I tried to fix it with a reset and after doesn't go any further than the HTC logo. Any thoughts in how to bypass this other than flashing a new rom? I kinda liked my stock and didn't backup.

Mine is locked and I tried a different network SIM and it worked fine. Can't guarantee for sure because I didn't tried before rooting.
[Android General] jaggyjags:
sent ROM in PM

install it through recovery after wiping all cache and memory (recovery option)

everything works perfect, you have to install android market separatelly and reboot for it to work (at least me). Full reboot (untick the fast reboot from settings)

I am preparing a custom rom with preinstalled apps and without the chinese ones, i will be posting it soon.

[Android General] CatOnAndroid:
The custom rom is ok so far... still I am kind of a noob. Or feel like one. Is there a way to install other languages to that rom, specially the systemlanguage? and how to customize the rom?

Sorry for asking dump questions :(:confused:

Just figred, after I installed Market, and try to install an app, crashes. telling me the process has endet unexpected. :-(

Should have stayed with my original... anyone has a backup of an original rom?
[Android General] jaggyjags:
I didn't find any ROM but that one, managed to make android market work by rebooting the phone (full reboot, untick the fast reboot option)

dont know how to add new languaje (if possible)

to modify ROMs just eliminate the .apk you want from system/app inside the zip and add any you want, I just modified mine and added like 15 different apps (file explorer, Copilot, android market, music player, adobe flash...) and doesn't use any memory (just available ROM) you have around 50mb free :) . once you install it look for available memory left with programs like APPS2ROM (it doesn't work in our HTC but helps me see ROM memory left).

i am going to try now to add an app to ROM memory by just creating a .zip file with /system/app folders and the .APK in it, let see if it works
[Android General] CatOnAndroid:
Yes I figured now, you have to reboot the phone. Works fine now. Already made a clean backup.

Ive seen a file which has many apps listed and SHA1 keys in it. hats why I am asking for howto cook your own rom. Let me know if it worked. Would be great if I could add and remove some stuff
[Android General] jaggyjags:
I am afraid it doesn´t, ("Installation aborted" message in Recovery). I will look for a diferent way to do it, not as simple as making a .zip file with "system/app/**.apk" :p

You can still uninstall them from rom memory using apps like "rom uninstaller" in andoid market

EDIT: found a way around it :) , just add the .apk inside "/system/app" in the "superuser.zip" found in the first post

http://www.4shared.com/file/KalrHXNj/Superuser.html

you already have this app in your phone so there is no problem in reinstalling it everytime you like on top of it (it even is the "pro version" of superuser, not the one on the custom ROM)

everything perfect :D

just note that no ALL of the apps work perfectly in the ROM memory, some crashed when opening them and had to uninstall them using "rom uninstaller" and install them manually

(I found just 2 small ones)
[Android General] CatOnAndroid:
Yes while experimenting I found rom uninstaller too. and I managed to get rid of Sense 3.5 and some other stuff.

I installed GO Launcher EX instead and it runs alo better and faster than Sense.

Even this is my first Droid, I love it. I will make some Screenshots of it as soon I am dne with work.

I thank XDA and all users for the great work. Now I need to figure out if there is a way to install more languages.

For all PMing me... Scroll up to find the ROM

Android: 2.3.5

Firm: 1.29.161.3

Base band: 10.35d.80.09H_1.11.82.17

Kernel 1.29.161.3 CL211987

PICO PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT: 1.03.0000

Radio: 1.11.82.17

By my investigation it seems the problem was the command so seal it to S-ON again: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

And now I cant do:

fastboot oem writesecureflag 0

to set it off again.

Even the oficial boot unlocker doesn't work it seems to need a signed version to override it. :(

AS I can't also change the CID to something like HTC_304 wich I thinks is the htc version of it I can't also upgrade it with the RUU :(

I'm getting out of options it seems the only way is to request the HTC to rewrite my phone fw :( wich I have no ideia how it could cost.

[Android General] Yannou90:
Could you use fastboot to flash recovery or something ?

Because you tell you can unlock but you don't have s-off , have you test fastboot ?

I'm downgrading my phone and lock it again , and try to upgrade and tell you , but why did you play with writesecureflag ?

I don't know what happen and don't want to test your command ;)

I did the damn command following instructions to seal the phone again in case it needs to go to warranty.... don't do it or you may stay on same situation I'm :(

It is important to tell the people if your phone has a a rom from a carrier please after S-OFF don't try to seal it on again with security flags or you may need a RUU with is rare for this phone with same CID :( !!! :( Arff my only hope is to find someone with a original Ruu with same CID as I can't change it :( or find a SuperCID mode :(

Having problem installing some market apps

Hi everyone! I am new to XDA. I have rooted my HTC explorer with the tutorial provided by Jaggyjags. I have a 16GB sd card and created a FAT32 and a ext4 primary partition with the mini tool partition wizard. Then I rooted my device and backed up my custom ROM. Then I flashed Jazzyrom lite latest version available.

I used APP2SDGUI to move the app's Dalvik cache to sd using the "move and rebuild" options then I moved app data to sd using Titanium backup and app to sd using Gemini App Manager (Now that might be the begining of the problems!)

Well! everything was working fine but sometimes while using USB tethering when I open app manager it shows 170mb or something free and -1.6GB used. I have created a 1.57GB size Ext4 extention so thats most probably that size showing. I am mentioning everything in detail so that it would help to know the reason of the problem better.

THE MAIN PROBLEM IS, IN SPITE OF ALL THOSE EMPTY SPACES IN MY INTERNAL MEMORY I AM HAVING "INSUFFICIENT MEMORY" ERROR WHILE INSTALLING SOME MARKET APPS... I INSTALL A 48MB APP AND IT INSTALLS PERFECTLY, BUT THEN I JUST TRY TO INSTALL THIS 9 MB APPROX. DOUBLE TWIST PLAYER AND IT SHOWS "INSUFFICIENT MEMORY".

PLEASE HELP...

Thank you very much in advance...:confused:

Breakthrough?

To all that are facing problems after doing a factory reset.

I needed to sell mine so i had to find a way to get a ROM with my language. There is none therefore i tried everything i could think of to make my backup work.

Oddly i made it work, can't garantee that anyone else will pull it off though.

What i had was a backup made on the recovery after the phone got bricked. I restored and (obviouly) the phone was still bricked. After that i installed the latest jaggyjags kernel ONLY, and just like Lazarus it got raised from the dead. since i had my personal data i tried a factory reset... and it got bricked again. I repeated everything and it worked again. So i erase everything manualy.

Try it out to see if it works for you.

As what i have seen, when you do that to a rooted phone it cleans ALL the memory so you have a clean phone and nothing starts, intall it with the recovery (.zip install)
