[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] number5toad:
Hi all - long time lurker, recent rooter, first time poster. Nice to meet you and all that...

I'm just hoping someone can do a quick dummy check on my thought process. I just rooted and flashed CM7, and am overall immensely happy with the results. The one thing I really do miss from the stock ROM is the camera app. Here's the dummy check - based on my reading and research, I'm thinking it's not possible to install the stock camera from the 'bolt on CM7, because CM7 is AOSP based while stock 'bolt, obviously, is Sense based.

Am I on the money? And if so, does anyone have a recommendation for a camera replacement for CM7 with maybe touch to focus and (dare to dream) better image quality?

Or perhaps comments on the camera in your favorite Sense ROM?

Thanks for listening!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julesism:
You are correct. Try the MIUI camera via the link below. It works pretty good and IMO is better than the stock AOSP camera.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] number5toad:
Much obliged - I'll check that out. Do I need to uninstall the current camera?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julesism:
I've never uninstalled the old/stock camera. They seem to live together just fine. Just download and run/install the apk for MIUI and that should do it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] number5toad:
Thanks again. I'll give it a try.

Can someone please download this ROM from:

... and upload it to some mediafire or similar links?

There is also a patch for this ROM:

Thanks!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] krish_nank:
This is just a translation of chinese forum try this on your own risk

Due to time and limited capacity, only a simple transplant (transplant Do not think so God ...), and if you are entangled in CM7 between MIUI, perhaps this ROM is very suitable for you, the official ROM is transplanted LiGux Desire Z, performed well on the U8800, which is entirely dependent on G, near-perfect CM7, once again worship ...

Based on LiGux v3.2 beta2 production, although a simple transplant, but a good experience than CM7 beautiful, and no MIUI as luxury (Allow me to describe the luxury ...)

1, features almost the same as the original, using a 35 G, the kernel, the performance is almost the same in G major 35 core CM7, so that it also has some bug, I did not do much to modify

2, to streamline some of the ring, keep the original almost all programs, including Google service package, we can streamline the free play

3, by adding "Device Settings", extracted from the G major of the MIUI, where you can set the call volume

4, the notification bar shows the problem may be a bit small, could not find the modifications to the exam

5, the font extracted from ICS4.0, replacement lock screen clock font

6, integrated Baidu input method, re Manager v2.17.1

7, adding GPS to optimize file, comes with hosts over the wall

8, the search button to change the lock

2.3.5 As at the end of the official must brush package, I was tested in B522's, B517 can also be under the theory, but test

ROM Download: http://115.com/file/e6py511x #

------------------------------------------------------------

Also comes with a patch, the following changes

1, the narrow spacing between the menu, select the small font makes a more coordinated

2, re-set the brightness value, the backlight off four kings (note the closure is permanent) (key vibration test can not be closed, sorry)

http://115.com/file/bhrde539#

Note:

1, need to set your own transparent notification bar can also be defined as a picture, too strong! Settings take effect after restart

2, can modify the style lock screen

3, menu background can be custom color on the phone or pictures, this is too strong. . .

Just wanted to know is English available in this ROM :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
It is available ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] krish_nank:
So you tested it :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sks976:
I do not know. I have lost the desire to install 2.3 again.)))
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
But it is useless for me. Cannot connect to network.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] krish_nank:
Why????:( any concern with WIFI or APN ??
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
apn ... wifi work fine
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] krish_nank:
Can you brief the concern please.... :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
there is nothing to brief. i have install it over MIUI 1.12. installed patch and cannot connect to APN network at all. So i am back to MIUI.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Cinthiar:
Did you have official gb installed? It says it is required. I installed it but got a bootloop. Now trying again with full wipe.

EDIT: Yeah, it seems like it doesn't work for me. Goes into bootloop.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
We need to have the gingerbread of huwai install to install this on it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Cinthiar:
It uses .35 kernel so I think it is required.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
So I will not try
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
No ... i tried from old 2.6.32 kernel. (Had installed MIUI 1.12 before). Maybe that's why i get no connection to apn.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Cinthiar:
Now I got it to boot. Had to flash another rom before this and then this again. I will check and tell what it seems like. :)

EDIT: It has all the languages normal android has. But most of the menu is in English even after changing languages.

EDIT2: Wifi works, mobile data works, X5 Settings works (Can change cpu speed, schedulers, governors etc...

EDIT3: It feels a little sticky and I have gotten many force closes in the 15 minutes I have used it. Seems promising but needs a lot of work still. :)

EDIT4: Nandroid to CM7. Like I said it has potential but needs more work. Too many fc's and the UI looks and feels unfinished. It also seemed slower in UI than geno's CM or Miui.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] krish_nank:
One guy has released the fixed ROM lately lol i am trying it not the original.... cool
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
I tried too. I haven't any fc, and have nice futures.

But in here too there is problem with writing video as on CM7. What they' ve changed on camera libs and this appears in all roms, except miui, come out?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00dvanmeter:
So I dropped my thunderbolt the other night and cracked the screen in three places. It still functions, its just very annoying to look at. If I were to do an insurance claim anyone know the chances of getting another 32 GB MicroSD card with it? I could use one for my Xoom :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dajogejr:
About as good as your chances of finding one in the street.

Any insurance or warranty I've dealt with ship you the unit.

You supply battery, charger and the memory card.

Unless you can somehow convince them the memory card is bad as well...but good luck.

I'm not here to judge you...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
Yeah I agree. I would be VERY surprised if they gave you an SDcard at all, especially a 32GB.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cygnusis-X1:
This.

I work for Sprint and whenever we order new phones (either insurance claim for customers or our in-store replacement) they send only the device itself and the only other thing that they will send is the battery and charger ONLY if it's an entirely different phone as well as charger. Now of course I don't work at Verizon, but all the insurance claims are the exact same so I can almost guarantee they won't send it. Doesn't hurt to try, though.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00dvanmeter:
so what would be the best bet? Returning it to stock and unrooting it to send it back in or just reporting it lost/stolen?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cygnusis-X1:
Most people just report it lost/stolen to keep the old phone (even though the esn is not longer able to activate), but what exactly are you trying to do? Get an extra 32GB SD card or just keep your same SD card? If it's the former then revert back to my first post. If it's the latter then if you are doing an insurance claim then you keep your same SD card and battery and just send the device back - also Asurion isn't going to care if it is rooted or not so there is no need to revert it back to stock. Hope that helped.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSlyWolf:
I had mine replaced a while back for the same exact reason. Finally bit the bullet on the annoyance factor...I was hoping for an extra sd card but no luck. Would have been a sweet deal though I must say. BTW asurion could probably care less, I've sent them a handful phones that were still rooted and rommed over the last couple years.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpyazel:
I have done two insurance claims with Asurion in the past. Both were with the D1. Both times i had to send in just the phone (no sdard and no battery) and both times they shipped me a new phone, battery, sd card and charger. It was a new box with all the normal accessories included. So, i dunno why everyone is saying no. Is it a different policy with the Thunderbolt?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cygnusis-X1:
That may be back in the day (if you're talking about the droid 1) but I have not seen that happen for a while, and with as common of a phone as the Thunderbolt I can almost bet they won't do that (popularity=more refurds available). And are you sure that it wasn't a warranty replacement as opposed to an insurance claim? Either that or you got extremely lucky two times because insurance usually doesn't cover the SD and battery (which are considered accessories). Because the phones never come in a new sealed box - they usually come in a generic box without accessories.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpyazel:
Yeah, It was an insurance claim and it was a droid 1. I dropped them in water both times and they didn't work any longer. Cost me the deductable and arrived in the mail within two days both times. Sad this has changed. $8 a month and deductible gets you a referb with no accessories now? I may cancel mine after reading this. What a rip off.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grnlantern79:
Let's also say u didn't get a 32 gb memory card which runs about $60 bucks you got a 8gb which is free on most monthly sales at Best Buy
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpyazel:
Actually, the original droid came with a 16gb sd card, and that's what i got on both insurance claims too.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00dvanmeter:
Thanks everyone for your input. Not trying to scam for another card it was just out of curiousity, Xda is awesome :-)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] przfghtr:
Yeah because it's way better to pay $400-$500 for a new phone outright when you don't have insurance. I agree insurance is a little expensive but it is a way better option than buying a new phone outright. Most people don't have that option. It's insurance, what insurance company have you ever had that didn't charge a deductible?

Edit for spelling
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cygnusis-X1:
Yes and no...insurance is good because it gives you an option other than the old "you're **** out of luck" that most of use face that don't have insurance and then ***** and complain about them not doing anything about it and/or not having insurance added and likewise to what przfghtr said what insurance company has there ever been that hasn't charged a deductible? The price sucks but it is definitely a lot better than paying $500+ for the phone outright.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpyazel:
A 2-second google search returned some refurbished thunderbolts for around $300. And since that's what you apparently get with the insurance, that's really what price you should qoute, not new price. Anyway, I'm not telling you to dump your insurance, but i am. With my current deductable they are only covering $150 for $8 a month. Waste of money IMO.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trigster:
I'm currently on the "tier1" plan from Asurian(sp?). My replacement fee is still $99, the same price it was for me back when I had my Droid 1.

I have to send my old TB back tomorrow, I was able to get the latest OTA On it, but.. since the USB Is busted(I sent it in originally bad Microphone), I cant re-lock the boot loader. I really hope they just look at it power up, and go OK, and throw it back at HTC. And not load up the boot loader :( NOt sure if they would hit me with $99 for the phone or $500 for a replacement
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cygnusis-X1:
I'm interested in where you found these refurbished models because the lowest price that I found when searching was $385 retail. Also is it $150 for an insurance deductible with Verizon? All I know is that there are (usually) two different tiers: One being feature phones which are $50 for a deductible and $100 for smartphones and to my knowledge that was the same across the board (I also worked at At&t before and it was the same deductible pricing). So if that's the case you would be paying a total of $192 for the entirety of your contract for insurance and then a $100 deductible (this is assuming you keep the insurance on for the duration of your contract) still would come out cheaper than purchasing a refurbished phone outright and being overnighted free (as Asurion does).

Insurance isn't for everyone; some people see the amount of value that it has, others don't - it's subjective like anything else. Also insurance is universal: you're betting it'll break, they're betting it won't.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kujayhawks77:
My brother works for Asurion and their policy has always been to replace with a refurbished phone whenever possible. With that said, you most likely received new phones because they did not have any refurbished D1s to replace it with since it was one of the first android phones Verizon carried there were no other options to replace it with (although at one point they were replacing the D1 with the Eris). If you read your insurance paperwork it says they replace with a refurbished model OR another model that is similar. At times they have replaced high end android models with low end android models. This is why I use another 3rd party insurance other than Asurion.

It does not matter if you are rooted or not with Asurion. Asurion is a 3rd party vendor. They are not Verizon and are not checking to see if you are rooted. They receive the phone and have the issue fixed clean the phone up and it becomes a refurbished unit that they send out to someone else later.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cygnusis-X1:
thank you for the confirmation. Also can I get your bros number just in case my phone breaks? ;)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exAusTiN:
When I used the insurance on my Thunderbolt they sent me a brand new one, unopened in the box with a new sd card, battery, charger, and sim card. All I had to do was send my Thunderbolt back but was able to keep the battery and sd card.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktez:
I had my thunderbolt replaced.with Asurion ins also and received the same thing - I only had to send the phone back so I had an extra charger, battery, and SD card. This was back in May tho, and I don't know if their policies have changed since then.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukesdiesel:
Same here with both my old Eris and D2.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00dvanmeter:
Good stuff. Their website said all accessories are included. Why not seeing as I paid about $54 ytd on insurance plus a $99 deductible since I had this phone. Still better than paying msrp I guess
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cygnusis-X1:
Probably because it was still fairly new.

[HTC EVO 3D] TrekonBT:
I've scoured the interwebs/googled this to death to no avail, so i decided to ask here.

Would using two magnetic, camera phone lenses on the Evo 3D's cameras work. it seems no one's actually tried this.

I ask because, after watching a few GoPro 3D videos, i realized that GoPro cameras have a permanent wide-angle lens on it, and go curious as to whether it'd work on my phone as a less expensive solution.

I have one magnetic lens already which i use and love but i'd rather know it works before i spend the money. i don't understand the workings of stereoscopicy when using wide angle lense.

any help appreciated!
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
It would work as long as both lenses are identical. But I'd be nervous of bringing anything magnetic to any of my electronics. That's got a reputation of bad things... But maybe it's safe for a phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] TrekonBT:
Hmmm... Alright. Thanks for the reply. I'll get the second lense then.
[HTC EVO 3D] z50king:
what is a magnetic lens?
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
A lens that attaches magnetically, lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] TrekonBT:
Lol i cant post a link because ima noob so ill just say that it's like i simplified camera lens that is smaller and made for cellohones. So instead of screwing it on like a regular camera, you stick a metal ring with adhesive around your phones camera and the lens has a magnet that sticks to this ring
[HTC EVO 3D] flomexico:
I remember seeing something similar for the EVO 4G, and it worked pretty well.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Yes, it was a magnetic macro lens. It did wonders for the 4G.

Hey guys! I'm a noob, I aknowledge it and I apologize for it.

I've been trying to open the bootloader on my brand new Ray by following the official Sony Ericsson guide found on their website. The problem is that I'm stuck with this step:

# Open a command window and go to the tools folder within the Android SDK folder.

# Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your phone is connected properly.

The only answer that I get from command promt is: 'fastboot.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

This leads me to thinking that there's not fastboot in the SDK-folder. Why is this? I've followed the guide to the letter, and I've checked several times that I actually did follow it to the letter. Any help guys? Please?

Found the solution after hours and hours of fighting, still not through with all the problems though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Try flashtool, inside x10 flasher folder you will find the required fastboot and adb.exe and dll for them. Try from there.

Hi, I tried installing CW recovery but I can't get in recovery mode. What I did so far:

Rooted the phone, replaced recovery.img with the one I found here (v. 4.0.0.5) then tried to access recovery mode by holding down vol+ while starting the phone, but it just continued to boot android. Then I tried v. 5.0.2.7 which I found here. Same problem. Am I doing something wrong? What else could I try?

[General Questions and Answers] trevanddev:
Good question
[Blade General] nrev:
Nice to see a new version of GSF, wbaw.

I'm with T-Mobile UK and GSF r3 constantly reports the network operator as "T-Mobile" when roaming (to Orange in the UK or to any other operator when out of the country).

SIMs from other operators work fine and show the correct name of the network operator to which I am currently connected.

I was getting this same problem with all previous versions of GSF too, so it isn't something new in r3.

PS. I would have posted this in the main GSF thread but I'm still too new on xda to post there.
[Blade General] wbaw:
It's probably to do with the RIL files, I used the versions from the Finnish Saunalahti rom.

If I use a different version of those files then it causes a more serious problem for people using MVNO networks (virtual network operators that rent their services from a real network) - then it'll always tell them they're roaming even when they're on their home network, so it makes the options to restrict roaming useless.

So it's a 'can't fix / wont fix' bug I'm afraid.

Unfortunately there is no available source code for the parts of the rom that control that behaviour. It's a bug that only ZTE could fix properly (don't hold your breath).
[Blade General] nrev:
OK. Thanks for the reply and the explanation.

A workaround is to install Phono - this correctly shows the actual Network Operator you are connected to (but it does mean consuming some resources with another application running/installed).

I guess that Phono somehow bypasses the RIL restriction?
[Blade General] wbaw:
Does it cause any real problem other than not showing the correct network name?
