[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXxJaylenxXx:
Hi all, i need your help. As Im currently using a custom firmware now, i need to know my build number of my device. However in settings, this does not shows my build number, instead it shows my custom firmware name. Is there anyway to check my build number of my device? Lots of thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumbleweed:
There is no build number for custom ROM.

Verison LTE Gnex.

Rooted with CWM installed. I can successfully flash any 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 ROM and everything works fine. Typical wipe dalvik, cache partitions, data, and /system. But after a few minutes, if I touch any of "my apps" in Market I get a force close of Market. I've tried going to settings/apps/all and wiping Market cache and data. Still a no go. Market is FC on 4.0.2 OTA also, now. I tried fixing permissions inside CWM and that did not help.

If I uninstall Market updates in settings/apps/all ("back to factory version"??), then Market will work for a few minutes, then revert to the same behavior.

I am attaching a logcat of the Market force close. If anyone can decipher this and provide some recommendations, I would appreciate it very much.

Edit: FWIW, I first noticed this problem when I was running Google's 2-step verification process. This got to be a PITA each time I flashed a new ROM (there's so much new candy in the store!). So, I turned 2-step off. Didn't seem to make a difference with this problem, though.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryojin:
Hi there, First I apologize if this thread is already created elsewhere, either I couldn't find it or most of them contain fragmented answer to my question. And I just wanted to be sure, so I won't get 0% battery life, as I fear I might bricked my Arc as I did previously with my Acer Liquid with no way to recover.

My Arc, LT15i, Stock 2.3.4, Build .42

Q1:How do you get zero % battery life(so I can avoid)

Q2: With the latest Zerg Recovery I can root my Arc right from 2.3.4 correct?

Q3:Once it's rooted, Can I downgrade to 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 for lower custom roms?

Q4: Do you need specific build for specific rom and vice versa?

Basicly I wanna install 1 of this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1213888 :p

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Brockg:
I recently put a new ROM(the simple one that is built for speed/battery life) and i backed up everything in titanium for the 1st time.

Well everything was working fine i thought; as i restored my contacts/texts from titanium. Well i just tried adding a contact and i get the message "Unable to Save Contact" when trying to add one to my phone.

If i change the setting to save to "gmail" it works but i don't want to do that every time i add a contact.

Also, when i try connecting to Kies i get a message about simcard being undetected, not sure if those are related or not"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
i'll wait for someone to clarify this but as far as I know, you cannot save contacts via TiBu and restore them on a different rom. You'll need to make sure they're backed up on google first or export them before wiping the phone.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] joebob2385:
Hello friends.

While I can understand being disappointed about a pure media machine having a constant bar at the bottom, or oddly sized widgets, or even currently not having the ability to root. I bought the view to draw with the stylus on a screen that didn't cost over $1,000. I had and have no patience for that feature alone. Rooting can wait. The soft buttons actually aren't that bad.

So as the title suggests, I'll root and Rom later, but for now, I don't give a $#!+. I got what I wanted. I would have broken my tablet trying before, so I'm glad the OTA is here.

I'll post some proof later.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] R23PO:

I had to take the ota update just for this as well. its like a mobile cintiq for under $300. sketchbook app is quite nice now, makes use of pressure sensitivity and also has layers like Photoshop. until @pp!e teams with wacom and unveils a 7" pad, the hc'd view is the way to go.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakis_the_fraud:
Hello!

First of all, i have the Huawei IDEOS X5 running stock rom with android 2.2.1.

Let's go to the point.

Some days ago, something went wrong with my phone and it couldn't boot. (Details here)

As i was told, i took a backup with CWM (in order to recover later lost data) and i managed to restore an OLD backup and the phone seems to work like a charm. My major concern now is how to get some data that are stored in the data.img .

After some reading here at XDA, i successfully extracted the content of the data.img and located the files that i want to "restore".

And here is the question, is this possible?

If yes, what should i do?

FYI, at my PC i run windows 7.

Thank you in advance for your help!!! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Since you restored a rom, then the data was restored also.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Ok. All you need to do is choose the "Advanced Restore" option to independently choose the data.img to be restored.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakis_the_fraud:
i forgot to mention it, but this was the second thing that i tried. (the first was to clear the cache :P )

Neither of them worked, so, i assume that something is wrong with data.img .

my problem is that i don't know how to send them back to my mobile!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakis_the_fraud:
finally i made it!

it wasn't that difficult, but i didn't know that with es file explorer you are able to see the root folder!

To sum up, if you want to restore some app data (app settings, sms archive etc) you first have to extract the data.img file (guide here), then you search in extracted folders the directory data/data/[your_app_name] for your app data.

Then you simply copy the whole folder to your sd and with es file explorer you move it to the correct place (/data/data/[your_app_name]). Overwrite if asked and restart the app if it's running.

easy huh? :D

thanks for all the replies folks! :)

I have had this issue for 4 months. Back and forth with Google "support", they are trying to blame it on root access. Basically, no fix. I finally installed Eclipse because I was tired of using a combination of ChangeLogDroid and Appbrain to get updates.

Eclipse fixes it. I think the original issue was caused by Titanium Backup messing up the Market DB.
[Motorola Droid X2] cjm2576:
The real problem is once the damage is done even if you're on a non-rooted stock rom it stays broken. While going back and forth with Google support I SBF'd back to stock and it still didn't fix anything.
[Motorola Droid X2] jehelmer:
I did use titanium backup before it happened. Is it messing something up on the phone or Google servers? After a sbf everything should be stock. Right? Seems like a server or account issue. I created another google account and it works fine. I really just want to go back to stock but can't. Very frustrating!

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaijura:
Too early to say if it will have ICS, but the specs pretty much support it. 1.5ghz single core, 1gb ddr2.

Really going to depend on HTC if you get the 3G version or the CDMA View but I don't think you guys have CDMA across the pond.

IMO, nothing out there matches the Flyer/Flyer3G/Evo View for the price in 7" tablets. But CES 2012 may bring new stuff.

How dies it stack up against the quad core beast ?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Pdauser92:
Its worth the money to me. I've wanted one since they were first released, but couldn't justify the high price tag at the time. I specifically wanted to be able to use the stylus for note-taking etc, so 10" quad-core tablets etc without stylus input wouldn't suit my needs.

I have LeeDroid's honeycomb ROM on it. Works great, and its nice to be able to use the stylus everywhere instead of just in the notes app.

I have no regrets regarding my purchase at all.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
i got a wifi-flyer and got hc on it right now. i primarily got it to upgrade my old elocitya7(7") since i could not get hc on it working properly. you cannot compare to a quadcore tablet although it has stylus. the OS is now acting very different, and HTC has always made the OS weak because of resource issues and their launcher is still not perfect.

but generally ok, but unless its £179, its probably not the best buy.

if you do not want stylus capabilities, and still want a 7", you should look at Acer a100. its priced around the same level.

i am a little fan of htc widgets and always been so thats kinda second reason to get a 7" htc instead of tegra2 7" acer.

but the stylus is a nice addon, i tried it and appreciate having it now.

Hi everyone!

I just successfully rooted my HTC Sensation 4G and installed cynogenmod (HyperSensation-CM7.1-v1.2).

Everything seems fine so far, but I'm confused about the default included 'email' app. Is this the google-made gmail program or something different? I expected once I set up my 'account' upon initial startup, clicking on this e-mail app would 'just work' and pull up my emails, but instead it started asking me for email account details.

Should I download 'gmail' from the market? Is that what I really want?

Also, I'd like the swype-like functionality back on this keyboard, but don't know the best way to get that back. Any help would be appreciated, as I can't post to the cynogenmod thread yet.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] LBN1:
Most roms have 2 Email Apps, one is Gmail, the other is Email.

If you use Gmail for your email address (i.e. xxxx.gmail.com), then you should use the Gmail app which some Roms include and can easily be downloaded from Android Market.

If you use a pop email account, like yahoo or hotmail, then for those you don't use the Gmail app, but can use the other Email app. You can also download other Email apps from the Market, like K9 or Enhanced Email, for this purpose too.
[HTC Sensation] tamale:
Excellent, actually once I started 'restoring' from my google account, it downloaded gmail for me automatically and that's working like I expected. Thanks for the help.

As of now I don't know of any software solution to lower the mic gain when recording video.

However, I've heard that using the headset that came with your phone (earbuds with mic attached) while recording video should use the mic on the headset, which will result in better audio (albeit in mono instead of in stereo, but that's a small sacrifice) in the video recording. I've not tried it personally, but you could try that out.

It doesn't have to be the headset that came with the phone, I think any headset which you can use the mic in calls should work.

Good to hear some fellow Lithuanians are more and more into androids.

First- you said that you want a custom ROM. To install it you have to get S-off (security off)

Next- get clockwork recovery from the android store. The free version is enough. You will need this to put the ROM on the phone.

Everything else is ROM specific. Get the latest (not beta if you want it to be stable) version of the ROM and follow the instructions in it's topic.

[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
TBH,

Just get the phone and play with it for a while.

You can install many many many Free Games and Apps from the Android Market.

If you don't have one already make yourself a GMail account, you'll need that when you get the phone.

Also when you add phone numbers make sure you add them as contacts to the Gmail account. That way if you decide to change ROMs later they'll automatically be Synced from GMail.

GL and have fun.
[HTC Sensation] p0fker:
Thanks for the reply,but i really want different rom :D and dunno about installing games from internet(as a example i would like to install gta 3,i know that i need somehow to transfer sd files to sd card and then install .apk file? is that right?
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
You install them directly on the phone, either via a local WiFi or 3G. They are linked to your GMail account that was used when the phone is set up by you.

No transfers required when you install from the Market. If at a later time you change ROM, it'll ask you if you want to sync the apps and it'll re-download them from the Android Market.

Not tried GTA, I'll try now.

EDIT: Have you had an Android phone before ?
[HTC Sensation] p0fker:
Nope, Sensation will be my first. But i didn`t understand? What do i install directly to the phone? You mean .apk file?

EDIT: 1 more question: DO I HAVE TO DO SUPERCID for my ROM????
