Nandroiding back and forth between 2.3.4&2.3.5 is not recommended..

It will NOT restore kernel going between backups.

This will eventually cause u issues.

Motcher...u might want to change ur answer above to reflect that it is POSSIBLE but not recommended ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I will put that but wanna find out the kernel numbers and I have no clue how I got onto 2.3.5 build 413. I will have to fix that when I get my replacement if it is an X2...if its not...oh the dilemma.

Here is the other thing. Last time I sbf'd I nandroided to my Eclipse 2.0.2 which is on the 413 build and the kernel is 00005 so thats why I am wondering if it does indeed moved the kernel.
[Motorola Droid X2] ImgBurn:
ashclepdia & motcher41

Good safety tip guy's I'll hold off on sticky request.
[Motorola Droid X2] Malvoiy:
Dunno if it helps but im in 413 also with the 00007 kernel.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
What motcher was trying to figure out is if you restore a nandroid made on 2.3.4 while you're running 2.3.5 , week it restore the 2.3.4 kernel as well.

I am 99.9% certain that it Will NOT change the kernel back to 2.3.4 kernel
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I nandroided after my last sbf straight into my eclipse 2.0.2 backup and my kernel is 00005 which I think is the 2.3.4 so its confirmed. Ash your not 99.9% right your 100 % right
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Bump..... cuz I can ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Post because:

Come on guys ;)

We can get motcher some more thanks for his how Tos than just me ;)

Update to OP coming tomorrow with lots of info....
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Thanks man its cool though. I know it helps and im planned on adding some today bit unfortunately I decided to work at work today and well didn't even get to my office until my 10th hour of work lol the last two I had to play office catch up and briefly skimmed cds and back to work lol
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
I was thinking about the error that appears when an application is updated through the market. Usually occurs after flashing a rom, and its a question I see repeatedly in several threads. And one I've seen you answer several times lol.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Ahhhhh

GOTCHA

The error where to fix you need to remove the app from /system in order to install from market then push back to system.

Will be added..thanks for suggestion(I didn't figure this out....credit will be given...someone in eclipse thread posted the solution....I will figure out who and credit them...)

Keep em coming...

If I know a solution or where to find solution I will add it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Ash and Motcher keep up the great work! I can assure you that this thread will help many people getting started. One suggestion for the future if we continue to see more way of flashing roms like Ace did with his barebones it would be really helpfull to get a tutorial. Many of us are comfortable using our standard way via zip files and tenfar recovery. I even leard something new when going to 2.02 about using stock recovery to flash a zip by renaming it update. Great work and keep the thread going. Huge thanks to you both! This is a great thread to help people and lower the amount of common questions.( that is if they read a little first ) :)
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Well the option to use nandroid has always been an option to release a rom. However. The barebones version ace released probably has no personal info.in it. Anything a dev has on the phone when making a backup such as this would be in the backup. Also...the backup way of releasing isn't really any different then a flashable zip. Still have to go into recovery to do it. So either way you get the same result.
[Motorola Droid X2] phieta:
I was just thinking that a Dev that really doesn't like their mother-in-law could make a barebones nandroid with no personal bits, except that everyone downloaded their 'Mom' contact with the mother-in-law's number. If the ROM was really popular, she could get calls all throughout the day given all the different time zones.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Sorry I haven't updated my post yet everyone

I had some very eventful days lol

After partying all last night I spent 90% of my day today searching for my wallet lol

(I finally found it in my friend car next to the seat...huzzah)

I'm hoping to have a computer by this weekend so I can write up these how Tos the way I want them to look. Gonna be a ton of typing and I'd prefer to not have to do it ALL from my phone lol

Please bare with me.;)

[Motorola Droid X2] phieta:
Sooo... I was attempting to make GO Launcher my default launcher in /system/app.

I used ES File Explorer because you can also change the permissions with it.

I then did a batch move of a few more apps. Changed permissions. Restarted.

Went into /data and there was no more /data/app folder, let alone my .apk files.

The apps work, but I just can't find where my .apk files are hiding (Show hidden files is checked off, along with the ability to view rooted files, and the ability to mount and rewrite them).

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Did you move ALL of your data apps OUT of that folder our move the folder by accident?

Try doing a search for data/app or just search for app using your file explorers search function and see what results it gives ya
[Motorola Droid X2] phieta:
I got it worked out.

Must have been when I moved ES File Explorer to system/apps. Probably needed more persmissions than a regular app.

File Expert showed the apps in /data/app. Did a few things and everything is back to normal, with the exception of GO Launcher as a system app. Thanks, Ash.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Hey Ash did you ever get power boost 2.2 working? If so would be another good to do. Tried running it in script manager but a lot of fikes saying they are not found. Looks like you extract the zip. Then flash anither zip inside? Looks like people were seeing huge increase in 3G speed and also unthrottle would be nice.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I plan on testing and messing with it as soon as I get a computer in my possession again just in case I do something stupid lol

I don't wanna end up going a full day without a phone again
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Wow fast response. I think I will stick with just v6 supercharger for now but would love the increased 3G speed and unthrottle. Please let me know if you get it working and how. I ran the busy box 1.19 and ran script manager on the setup.sh but it says it is missing a lot of files. But when I use rootexplorer I can see all the files in the extracted folder it makes. Not sure if my V6 settings are messing with it. Hopefully if it works well the dev's can incorporate it in the roms :)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
if u would like to try it again try switching the extracted folders to the other sd card and reboot and try again.

When I asked bcm about if it would work he told me unthrottle should work for us

But I am thinking we might have to find another way to install it.

I know v for 2.0 eclipse users had success with pushing certain files manually but I am not sure which ones or if that would still be the case...I'm getting my own computer with tax return this year....then I'll be able to experiment and learn at a much faster rate lol
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Tried moving the folder to the other sd card and same issue I believe you have to flash the flash me zip that is extracted. I will let you know if I figure it out. Or I will screw something up and nano back to 2.03 and V6 supercharger.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I think that it's after you run a script it creates a flash me zip specific for the phone/ROM being used. At least that is what I gathered when glancing thru thread.

Did you run that script as root?
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Yep ran script as root. Then it rebooted like it said it would. Tried the terminal emulator but it does not see the sysrw command. I will wait for now and let the guru's figure it out :)

I follwed the steps in the description.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Did you type su first in terminal to give it super user privileges
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Yes

su enter

su granted

Sysrw enter

Not found. I read a lot of people had this issues on the thread still reading trying to see what others did to fix.

Even started over and tried terminal way. Sh/*/*/*setup.sh and it did not work and yes after i did su enter and su granted.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Awesome sauce!!

I'm going to Copy paste this into second post with credit to you for writing it out

Thanks bro!
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Great post one question if you are on eclipse 2.03 you say you unzip to internal sd but also mention it shoukd read sdcard/extracted/unthrottle. With the sd flip flop on eclipse did you put it on sd internal? That would make it read sdcard-ex/extracted.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
The reason that is said is because when u extract.using root explorer it goes to sdcard/speedsoftware/extracted u need it to go to sdcard/extracted for powerboost script to find it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Got it thanks! I just flashed 2.03 again to get a clean start. One last question when you removes 97memory charger script from speedy do you remove the whole thing or did you edit it?

---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------

I also wanted to say thanks to everyone that assisst in putting these how to's and tutorial instructions. These help so much for people just learning. I have learned so much about my phone over the last few months and thanks to you all here I really improved the performance to the point that I really like this phone. Well maybe I like it because now I feel I can break it and always bring it back to life lol so far at least. But thanks again to people like Ash, Motcher, Phieta. These instructions will help others as well I am sure!! Thanks for sharing the knowledge ;)

---------- Post added 5th January 2012 at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was 4th January 2012 at 11:58 PM ----------

Followed all the steps from phieta how to. Everything worked including the unthrottle mod now. Thanks again will report back on my speed and findings.
[Motorola Droid X2] phieta:
I removed the 97memorycharger script all together bc it has the Oom groupings and minfree values that conflict with V6 supercharger.

This how-to was my first contribution. Sorta. Still not my mod. Let Ash know where it was unclear so it can be cleaned up for the others.

And I've learned so much in the past few months too. This has become a regular past time. I want to know more about ADB next.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
So far I have not seen the 3G increase. So far it actually looks like it went down. However I do live in the valley but work in the bay area so that is where I get my best readings. I will run it this way for a day or so to test it out. My smartbench 2011 numbers seem a little lower as well. But this thing loaded with script! And everything is edited and working together thanks again for the help.

Update I have been running with all this script since yesterday and all last night and today my 3G has been lower than usual on speed test and then after about 10 to 15 tries on smartbench 2011 The highest I ever got was around 2600 and I get around 3500 to 3800 with stock eclipse and v6 supercharger. I will give the barebones a try if Ace releases it today or else I will be going back to my nano of 2.03 with v6 supercharger.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Did a nano backup of 2.03 with just v6 supercharger. My 3g is still low probably due to being at my house however my benchmark 2011 scores jumped back up in the 3500 range.
[Motorola Droid X2] almo40192:
My quadrant score was about 1800.......really crappy

Is there any reason anyone can think of of why my quadrant is so bad?
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Try smartbench 2011 it is for dual core phones and seems to be the best in my opinion. With Eclipse 2.03 I score between 3500 and 3800.

Also what are you running custom rom or stock?
[Motorola Droid X2] almo40192:
I'm also on eclipse 2.0.3

---------- Post added 9th January 2012 at 12:03 AM ---------- Previous post was 8th January 2012 at 11:57 PM ----------

I just ran benchmark 2011 and came out with 2100

Still not too great it's as fast as stock 2.3.5
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
You have to run it several times and get a average. You will find it will vary at times

how do i do that?

Dude I think you're in the wrong thread forum wrong planet

Lol :)

[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I think but I'm not positive

you could try pushing the systemUI.apk from the ROM zip that had the notification pulldown that you liked into you system/app

tho a few other things might be needed or changed also by doing that.

give it a shot

let us know how it works for ya..

even tho u have a different phone the process should be pretty much exactly the same

good luck
[Motorola Droid X2] devilrulz4ever:
Lol!

My status bar vanished!

Anyways, der r som other roms which hav d same kind of status bar, so m gona try thm.

Sent from my GT-S5360 using XD -A App
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
yea there is probly some other files that need to go along with it

you could also try the framework-res.apk along WITH systemUI.apk

those are where most of the theme comes from tho, so I'm not sure what all will change using both,

someone with more knowledge in how to modify the status bar/pull down hopefully will step

in here and straighten me out lol :p

Push it via root explorer then change the app permissions :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Furioustylez:
Man save yourself time. Titanium back up gives you that option.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
1. I can't freaking stand titanium backup

2. I like to do things manually, half the time when something is in a flashable zip I pull it out of the zip and find where I need to put it then fix permissions then reboot

3. it's always a good idea to know how to do it manually.

4. this is a old ass thread I was going to maintain, but stopped....dunno why it got brought back up
[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
HAHA! I'm extending this old ass thread!!

I use titanium backup but NEVER for system apps. If I need something in /system/app I push it with root explorer.

Once I made a flashable zip with titanium backup in it. But I didnt' flash it. Instead I extracted it then manually pushed it with root explorer! Now THAT was dumb. But I was bored one night. If there is a point to this I've missed it. :D
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
it is just easier, less time consuming, to push using root explorer than flashing something..

it takes away the need to boot into BSR, install, reboot ,

just push files, reboot, done

for simple things that are only a couple files that is ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Yeah some people wont let dead threads die... lmao
[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
Yeah really. Wait this isn't the off-topic thread. Nevermimd.

And my apologies for not adding more to this, just figured there was enough info out there and not much else to add that couldn't already be easily found :(

and yes pushing files to /system I feel EVERYONE should know how to do

I rarely flashed something when all it did was add something to /system that could really be pushed easily, I always just extracted things and added them, took out the need to boot to boot strap which you needed to be plugged in for lol

Help Needed

I trying to push Viper Sound Effects apk from Data/App to System/App giving the right permissions, (using Root Explorer) after reboot and selecting the app from the app drawer the app fails to start, I go back to System app folder, long press on the app in question to get the install dialog, permissions remain as they should after install but I find that the apk although working has installed back to Data App folder and the apk previously pushed to System App folder is just a Install apk. I've tried with some different apk's but same result. Where am I going wrong?:confused:

I have the HTC Radar 4G on T-Mobile. Once I unlock it and use it on At&T, it will definitely do calls, but will it pick up 3G or 4G on the AT&T network? I asked HTC and they were unsure. Thanks!
[HTC Radar] tai4de2:
Do a search in this forum to find your answer.
[HTC Radar] DoogieDC:
AT&T uses 850 MHz / 1900 MHz for GSM/GPRS/EDGE and the same two frequencies (850 / 1900) for UMTS/HSPA (their 3G/4G service).

T-Mobile uses the same frequencies (850 / 1900) for GSM/GPRS/EDGE, but uses 2100 MHz and 1700 MHz for UMTS/HSPA/AWS (their 3G / 4G network).

If you want to know what phones will work where, compare the frequencies they receive with those of the carrier you want to use.

In the case of the Radar, it uses the following frequencies

GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850 MHz; 900 MHz; 1800 MHz; 1900 MHz

UMTS/HSPA: 1700 MHz; 2100 MHz

So, for GSM phone calls and data you have a match with AT&T (and, of course with T-Mobile). 3G / 4G is a different story. The Radar has the T-Mobile 3G/4g bands, but not the bands for high-speed data on AT&T.

So, if you are happy just making phone calls and using EDGE data, then you can use the phone on AT&T. If you want 3G /4G as well you have to stick with T-Mobile.

[HTC Radar] Duwenbasden:
http://www.htc.com/us/products/radar4g-tmobile?view=1-1&sort=0#tech-specs

Apparently. It says it does 2100/1900/1700/850

*T-Mobile only uses 1700/1900 bands. source
[HTC Radar] DoogieDC:
Interesting! I took my specs from the T-Mobile page which omits the UMTS 850/1900 band. Thanks for the correction.
[HTC Radar] blackmamba:
The box clearly states GSM 850/900/1900/2100 AND HSPA/UMTS: 1700/1900/2100

AWS 1700 = T-Mobile, Wind, Mobilicity

UMTS 1900 = AT&T (although they use 850 extensively too), Rogers, Telus, etc

UMTS 2100 = Asia/Europe

My Radar picks up AT&T 3G. Not sure if UMTS 1900 band will be omnipresent on AT&T as a lot have been extended with HSPA 850 as well.

So, whereever you find UMTS 1900, you'll definitely catch AT&T 3G

Hope this helps.

Which ROM&Kernel Combination gave you the best battery life?

I have to improve my battery life and i can't find the right combination.
[Galaxy S II General] Ausboy 2011:
trial and error, each kernal/rom is different for everyone :)
[Galaxy S II General] tk142:
pretty much. every device behaves differently I found.

Whatever combination you try though make sure you give it 2-3 days before judging it.

For me I'm using speedmod kernel + CheckRom HD. It's a great balance between battery life and performance. I use the 2000 mAh samsung battery and never have to worry during the day about my battery. Just plug it in when I go to sleep.

All the best! :D
[Galaxy S II General] bamboorat:
I think Sensation ROM is the best. Cuz, very long battery life about 3-4 days in normal use(without open 3g or wifi). And, very stable for me
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
You're going to have to try various combinations out for yourself. Using the same combination as someone else on the basis of them saying "This rom/kernel combination gives me teh awesomz battery life !" will almost certainly lead to you being disappointed.

The reasons for that are:- No two phones come out of the factory the same (components do vary, mostly slightly, sometimes a lot), no two users will have the same usage patterns and no two users will have their phones setup the same.

Sooo....Get reading. Read the various threads about the various roms/kernels, take particular note of other people's experiences with same to give you a guide. And ask questions there if necessary.

Asking vague questions like this will ultimately waste your time.

Edit - Notice how so far you've only had answers from "newer" forum members ? There's a reason for that. Read my post again, the hint's in there ;)
