[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonicparty:
Hi there, I'm having a bit of a crisis, I'll try and describe as accurately as possible:

- I decided I wanted to install a new rom, with Android 2.3 and HTC Sense 3.5

- The rom required going back to to the stock hboot, which as far as I know and can tell (I'm far from even averagely knowledgeable) turned S-ON (the hboot I've got now is 0.93.0001)

- It also required a 1024mb Ext4 partition on my SD card, which I created

- The rom got stuck in a loop at boot, so I entered recovery to try and restore my previous rom (which I had backed up both on the SD card and a copy on my hard drive)

- While there I discovered that recovery was finding an error with the Ext4 partition, and wasn't able to mount it

- I went back and reformatted my SD card to get rid of the Ext4 partition, thinking that if I was restoring to the rom I was using previously I should put the SD card back the way it was

- I transferred the hard drive backup of my previous rom onto the SD card

- When trying to restore the backup I get an error saying:

- Googling and looking around here led me to download the Android SDK files and attempt to go through fastboot to "USB unbrick". I've tried

Which works, and

Which doesn't, presumably because the phone is S-ON

- so I go to adb to try and turn S-OFF by following the steps here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting, because I figure it's likely to be the same way for a Desire as it is for a Desire Z. When I try the first command ("adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/) I get back "error: device not found". This is despite fastboot commands working, and the SD card showing up on the PC if I mount it through recovery.

That's everything I think so far. I've tried a few solutions here and on various sites, but everything fails.

If anybody has any suggestions they are extremely gratefully received, whether they work or not! I'll try anything, really.

I think that if I can get the SD card to actually mount I'll be good to go; I'll be able to restore my previous rom and all should be well. But I expect I need to find a way to turn S-OFF for anything to work? Is that right? And is there any way to do that another way using adb (or getting the adb method I was trying to work) or without an sd card/an actual loading and running operating system?

Again, anything at all appreciated. I think I've included all the information I have?

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
What made you think that what works on DesireZ would work on Desire?? There's a separate section on that wiki for HTC Desire. Just sayin.

If you want root, check http://revolutionary.io

But don't go ahead and do anything yet. Your story is lacking some info. So what was your old rom, what was the new one you tried. How did you manage to change the hboot? If you weren't using stock hboot before, then you should already know the correct tools to s-off your phone. Oh and one more thing so do you have a Desire or a DesireZ??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Please post more information from hboot (start phone with pressed volume down + power button).

In my opinion the best way for you is to flash 2.3.3 RUU for a fresh rom and then use revolutionary to get S-OFF and root.

[HTC Amaze 4G] BiznessMan:
I just transfered from the Vibrant to the Amaze (love it so far) but for some reason, the gallery app is not picking up my Vibrant files.

I had a bunch of different folders on there, like my camera photos, dowloads, videos.

All of the photos and videos I took with my Nexus One show up just fine, but none of the ones from the Vibrant. Am I missing something here? Also, the HTC music app pulls all my MP3s from the SD card, but Google Music does not. Maybe I need to run the Rescan Media for that, but it didn't fix the gallery issue.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2ndHalfCor:
Just a thought: The Vibrant has internal storage that behaves like an external memory card. Is it possible your Nexus One stuff is on the MicroSD card, but the photos you took with the Vibrant are not, but instead were in internal storage?
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Install a 3rd party app for viewing photos like quickpic, see if the pictures show up there.. maybe somehow your vibrant pictures ended up in a folder with a .nomedia file?(that would keep it from being scanned by stock software)

I haven't used google music in a while, but I thought you had to manually set the media locations to scan? I highly doubt that it has anything to do with coming from a vibrant.. I would definitely verify that you can find the files with file explorer and try to open them manually to make sure they aren't corrupt or missing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BiznessMan:
I think 2ndHalfCor was right about the photos. The Vibrant in itself does act as an external device, which I am assuming is where the photos are stored

As far as Google Music goes, I don't see an option to select a source for my songs. It only shows the few that I bought with the service

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clivectmob:
Well, i took the plunge today, and went out and got one sim free. I had concerns that the gps would be a bit naff, and that there may be screen defects, or sluggishness and all the other commonly complained about things on here. However, in reality, non of these things were evident. It just goes to show that sometimes you can read too much and put yourself off buying a device on these fora. Which I nearly did. So, i'm really pleased with mine, screen is just great, gps is very good, not noticed a great deal of lag, just little hiccups here or there maybe, but that's it. Certainly nothing more than i got from my iphone 4 when it's ram was a bit pushed. So, if you think you might be put off, don't be, it's just great :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] polakatl:
+1 i have the same experience with my VZW GN. A hickup here and there, the AMOLED screen has the linen appearance with whites on low brightness, but overall I'm happy with it.

My colleague's did burn through a lot of battery this morning, but I just unlocked and rooted it for him so we will see if this was something he installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rdy2go:
+1 excellent device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trevoryour:
I disagree with the OP.

My Nexus while at first seemed great actually has a few issues that are making me second guess my decision to return my Razr.

1. When switching from Wifi to 3g/4g my data stops working. I have to switch to airplane mode then back to restore it.

2. The speaker phone is aweful. While in the car its completley useless. I spend half of my conversation repeating myself becuase the other person can't hear me. I did a comparison with my wife Incredible and it was night and day.

3. When typing on the keyboard I notice that they keys being registered are not the keys I am pressing. Not all the time but on average its worse than the razr. The upside of this is that the autocorrection of ICS fixes the mistakes so its a wash in the end but still annoying.

4. MTP file transfer fail often when transfering files. I ended up using a wifi ftp server to get my titanium backup files.

5. Audio breaks up when trying to stream over bluetooth. Worked flawlessly on my Razr.

The last two are not so much bugs as design limitations.

6. No SD slot...I mean really... why can't nexus phones have sd cards.

7. No voice search button with the rest of the "buttons"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clivectmob:
This is kinda what i meant, these problems seem to be device specific. Generally, they are ok, but as was the case with the sgs2, the early batches seemed dubious and the software was full of bugs. If you are lucky tho, (as the majority will be). All will be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trevoryour:
Forgot about the bluetooth audio streaming issues. Updated my post with that as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clivectmob:
So far I've had no problems with Bluetooth audio either. Although I have not tested it extensively. Only tried it out to check it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cenwesi:
Ooooh Please can you elaborate on this. BT/A2DP Streaming is essential for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1.4hitachi:
Seems like ICS gets faster as you use it more. Also, most apps are not totally designed for ICS; Yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigel99:
I would say I am more likely to share a bad experience post on the internet than a good one. I am sure there are a lot of people who are happy with their device that just don't feel the need to say so online.

I agree with the OP. You should always give something a go and if it don't work out there is usually a warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bisquick24:
I agree with the OP, most of my fears about the phone have not come to life. No problems with the signal, although if there is a fix, I hope that it will help when I am at work. zero ****ing bars..why is every place I work at built like a bomb shelter with no signals coming thru???

i have faith someone will make a bigger battery for this thing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trevoryour:
I tried streaming spotify over the bluetooth audio link in my Ford Sync and the audio stream kept breaking up as if the phone was really far away or something. I had seen this before with my Incredible when it first came out but a reboot usually fixed it. I rebooted the nexus and the problem remained.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aflac01:
I also agree with OP, this phone has been perfect before. I was espeically surprised with the GPS lock i was getting. with my Charge i had to go outside and stand still for like 30 seconds to a minute to get it to lock on, the Nexus locked on almost instantly sitting in my chair inside my house...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beenyweenies:
Clearly all of these issues are luck of the draw. My phone has had no such issues. I suppose some phones having these issues and others not might indicate lesser build quality, but even iPhones have hit and miss problems like this.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] DevonSloan:
Hey guys! Does anyone know of a widget or app (preferably an app) that will display ONLY a specific SUBSET of images/photos?

Most gallery apps, when opened, will go to a directory of image sets/folders which you can then open from there. I am looking for an app that will NOT give that option, but instead will ONLY display the 1-100 (actually I only want to display about 10) specific images/photos that I choose ahead of time.

Also, ideally, I would be able to have multiple instances with separate links/widgets that will each point to their own specific closed gallery.

Let me know of you've come across anything like that.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tivo7:
So basically what your saying is....

When you open Gallery, it shows folders X, Y, and Z.

What you want is an app that, when pressed, opens ONLY folder Y with no option to open X or Z. And be able to change it yourself so when you open that app, it shows folder Z without the option to view folder X and Y.

Correct?

A possible idea to make it so YOU can change what folder it opens but others can't would be....

It automatically opens a folder, "PicturesApp" by default. And the way you would change it is to go into something like Root Explorer, find the folder that you want to show pictures within, and rename that folder to "PicturesApp". So when you open the app, it looks for a folder called PicturesApp and opens that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] DevonSloan:
That sounds awesome. I'll give that a try.

I'm also considering building either html5 galleries hosted on my web domain, or maybe flash files that will open when clicked, but I will try your method first. Thanks!

Anyone have any other ideas?

Makes the items look smaller so they look more defined somewhat. May throw some apps off. Can change this in your build.prop file but you need root.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] qaklappy:
I just did a hard reset of my Infuse. I'm redownloading all of my apps from my Google account right now. But they're downloading to my 2gig SD card and NOT the 16 gig internal. and when i use app2sD it transfers them to the 2 gig internal phone storage instead of the 16 gig!

Is there a way to make apps automatically download to the 16 gig built in storage?

[Atrix 4G General] Newbleeto:

Now I hope this is just the first step towards burning carrier IQ to the ground.

It's the devil I tells ya!
[Atrix 4G General] lsxrx7:
Meh. Cm7 fixed it long time ago
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
For some reason i'm thinking that this whole Carrier IQ business was a bit deeper than OS level. I mean... there was an article from some hacker or something saying that it was possible to remove Carrier IQ from a phone that used it, but it wasn't easy. I kinda doubt the whole idea of Carrier IQ would have even crossed XDA's news board if it was 100% remedied by a custom ROM.
[Atrix 4G General] Newbleeto:
I've read the articles a little while ago, do I might be wrong about this, but I do believe carrier IQ is removed by CM7. Just think about it, it's software. Custom roms replace that completely, where would it hide? They said it is hard to remove from the stock ROM, most probably, which it actually is. As for it being newsworthy, you have to remember, even if it is removable by "simply" flashing a custom ROM, that is something most people don't do. Hell, many don't even know that's a possibility. And they shouldn't have to. It's the privacy of millions that's at stake here. And even though we CM7 users are not affected by it, I don't think we should act like it's not our problem at all. Get the word out!
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
Yea... but i'm saying for XDA, it probably wouldn't even really need to be news-worthy if a custom ROM fixed it completely.... since i'm pretty sure most people who come to XDA are interested in modding their phone.

Actually found the article. Here's a snippet from it:

it's in the "The Rootkit of All Evil - CIQ" article... can probably google it quite easily. Just makes it sound like it's not something easily remedied by a custom ROM.

Check the route see if any have gone elsewhere was it a USB transfer .

[HTC Sensation] ManCityFC:
Looks great, downloading it now. Any chance you can add nicer notification bar icons as the standard sense ones are grim (or a zip to change them perhaps?)

Also, can you confirm the cpu speed and if a governor is included?

Also, can you confirm bluetooth works fine and if A2DP, PAN and DUN are OK?

I will give you my feedback ASAP.

Edit, just noticed the percentage on battery icon in changelog.
[HTC Sensation] ManCityFC:
I like it. Bit slow at times, a CPU controller would be good, I will leave it alone for the moment and see what the Dev comes up with.

Can't seem to get Picasa web pics to work but to be honest, I would like this taken out and offered as an add-on. I prefer to use the Nexus gallery as it is simpler and faster. Hopefully this can be adjusted in the next version as I have two apps trying (with one not actually succeeding) to sync Picasa at the moment and that eats energy and bandwidth.

Think this ROM is almost the perfect balance on the whole. 3.5 without much actual Sense, just a slick GUI.

ADW Launcher EX is stuttering and not very smooth either, but the cpu is only set at 1.2 and seems to struggle due to the residual Sense stuff that is left in. Shame as I like ADW better than the included Launcher (although I will play with it properly as it certainly has potential).

All in all, I would recommend it. I don't like Sense, never really have because it is just too slow and bloated, but this feels a lot less sluggish than stock and people should give it a go to support clearly a talented Dev.

One last thing I would offer the option to change is the notification icons. They remind me that I am still using Sense at times and they always struck me as bland and iPhone-esq.

Thumbs up so far though.
[HTC Sensation] mattbutsko:
Only 1.2Ghz? When I'm not using Sense, I use ADW EX, and even at 800Mhz it's fluid.
