Using Root Explorer:

1. Change your default input method to anything other than Swype.

2. Mount file system as R/W

3. Delete (or move/rename) \system\app\swype.apk

4. Delete (or move/rename) \data\dalvik-cache\system@app@Swype.apk@classes.dex (might be .odex depending on your ROM)

5. Delete (or move/rename) \system\lib\libSwypeCore.so

6. Reboot

7. Download and Run the latest Swype Beta installer

If you get FC's after installing Swype BETA then remove Swype and the Swype Installer under Manage Apps, re-boot and install the BETA again. Seems to be some stuff left over from the old version that can cause this problem.

(thread is for razr, but exactly the same on our phones)

Wouldn't recommend titanium backup because Swype is so finicky with left over files
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Godswrath:
I'm stuck on this^ step....

Getting FC's, (I followed your directions perfectly) I went under Manage Apps and was able to remove the Installer, but I cannot remove Swype from Manage Apps, where do I remove it from? (I tried seeing if I could repeat steps 1-5 to remove it the same way again, but it wasn't there)

Could this be because I renamed each step in 1-5 to include stock at the end? (Ie I renamed libSwypeCore.so to libSwypeCorestock.so)

Thanks for the help!

EDIT:

Here's the fix:

Move or Delete each file in the steps, don't rename them, this caused FCs for me
[HTC Desire S] dpensox:
Hi,

I have STF, but can't find what I'm after.

Earlier today, my phone kept locking up/freezing, so much so that it'd stop the clock from running. The only way to get it back was to pull the battery out (which I realize now was probably a big mistake). Eventually I got stuck onto the HBOOT screen. Again, in hindsight, the phone was possibly performing the Sense 3.0 update that was due (even though it hadn't notified me on this)

Now I'm stuck with;

SAGA XA SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-0.98.0000

RADIO-038.03.02.11_M

eMMC-boot

MAR 10 2011, 14:58:38

With various options below, I have the standard android recovery, and have performed various reset and wipes to no avail, I still end up back at HBOOT

I had installed clockworkmod, but had never got around to S-OFF/Rooting the phone, I've tried to use the revolution method, but it just its there "waiting for phone..." even though I uninstalled HTC Sync, rebooted, installed the fastboot drivers and rebooted again.

I'm at a bit of a loss, I could take it back to the store and get them to fix it as it is a geniune problem. however, as I was intending a custom rom anyway, if I can recover this myself it'd be a good thing.

My questions;

Can I S-OFF/Root from the HBOOT menu?

is it possible to use a RUU stock ROM from the recovery mode?

Do I just take it back to the shop :(

Thanks

Dave
[HTC Desire S] abdoo.ay:
i had problem very similar to this .. you can install ruu form fastboot, but it will only work if the ruu version is older then the phone rom version or at least the same
[HTC Desire S] dpensox:
Thanks for that, I didn't realise that the RUU would be an EXE (it took a while to download) It's found my phone and Updating now :D

Thanks for the quick response

Dave
[HTC Desire S] dpensox:
Ok, Maybe I was too hasty ...

the update completed, the phone rebooted but stuck at the HTC Screen.

I've now tried to re run the RUU; RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed

File and now it won't update, and the phone sits there on the fastboot screen.

Any other advice would be appreciated

Thanks

Dave
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
To be sure that is the correct RUU check the guide in my signature first (to setup adb and fastboot). Then connect the device to PC, make sure that on the screen of the phone is written FASTBOOT USB and type:

fastboot getvar version-main
fastboot getvar cidnum
[HTC Desire S] dpensox:
Hi,

How do these look? (it is originally un unbranded UK phone)

C:\android-tools>fastboot getvar version-main

version-main: 1.28.401.1

finished. total time: 0.012s

C:\android-tools>fastboot getvar cidnum

cidnum: HTC__001

finished. total time: 0.008s

Thanks

Dave
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
All correct. Should work. One last try with 1.28.401.1. Connect the phone in FASTBOOT USB mode and type in command prompt:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

then start the RUU on the PC

If not working download and try version 1.47.401.4

One question: you have written in OP that you have installed ClockWorkMod - probably you have tried to install it or you actually have it?
[HTC Desire S] dpensox:
Hi Thanks for that,

I could get either of those to work, so admitted defeat and to it back to the shop, they're going to send it to HTC and hopefully they'll reflash it.

I had installed ClockworkMod from the Android market, but never gone any further with it.

As soo as I get the phone back, I will S-off, Root and do a full backup as I think many more recovery options would have been available if I'd have done this in the first place. I do quite like sense, so will have to find a ROM with it in.

Thanks

Dave
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
This is probably the best decision since your phone is Stock.

About the Sense ROMs - do not worry - there are plenty of them in each version: Sense 2.1, Sense 3.0 and Sense 3.5. You can find them in the Index thread in the Development section. Maybe Sense 4.0 will join soon, who knows ;)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] trippap:
I had no problem rooting my NT, and was able to restore it to factory also with no problem. I rooted it again, and I've discovered that when I move apps to the SD card, they will not run properly and do not show up properly in various browsers. I planned on using a 32GB SD card to provide plenty of memory for apps, but that seems to be out. AppMonster can backup and restore just fine, Titanium Backup works fine with the SD card, so I can use it for archiving and backing up stuff, but the number of apps I can install is limited to the space left to me by B&N.

I had high hopes for the NT when it was announced, but B&N's decision to lock things down has produced a device that is not nearly as useful as the NC. I wouldn't advise anyone to buy a NT unless all they want is a device to read B&N digital content or watch Netflix (which works well). The B&N app store is a laugh.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Are you sure you need to do this? My Application Settings shows 1.7 gig used and 10 gig free. I believe apps install to the B&N partition by default.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
(Not that it isn't a useful feature. Perhaps it will be available once we can run custom Roms.)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bobapunk:
I noticed this issue too; thanks for posting about it.

I purchased a class 4 32GB microSDHC card with my Nook Tab. I have used the "Move to SD" option in the "Manage Applications" menu and while it does move the app, the Nook does not seem to be able to launch the app from the SD. Using ES File Explorer I found the apps on the SD card and when I clicked them, they got reinstalled to the Nook's internal memory.

So what I have is 32GB for Photos, Music, Video, and backup??

Not what I expected...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gwreedak:
Looking over my file folder structure on both the NT and the sd card it appears that the primary (application portion) of an app is installed to the NT (B&N memory part) and the database portion is installed on the sd card - i.e. epocrates (a pharmacopia) has the database on the sd card but if I try to copy the whole app to sd it won't run. Overdrive offers me the option of storing epubs I download to either the sd card or the B&N memory part. With over 70 apps (according to TiBackup), 350 mb of photos and 3 gb of movies that I copied over to the /data/usrdata folder I made - Root Explorer shows 4.02 gb used/7.85 gb free.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sirsamiam:
Same issue here. after apps are moved to 32SD, they either disappear or don't work. My 1g is filling up fast. :(....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GeekyMaestro:
I also have a rooted NT via the latest Zerg and have observed the same issue. App2SD I think is a known issue, however using the standard manage apps options from Android also produces the same errors with the apps not being moved properly.

Keep in mind, rooting your device via the method in the development thread indeed does automatically make used of the "locked" B&N storage area that would normally not be available. If the root installed correctly, you should see "## used of 11GB" on the manage applications screen where ## is the space you have already used.

For now I'm using the internal storage for apps and the card for media, but hopefully the developers will find a way to implement proper app moving in the next update.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyrusalmighty:
I just checked my bootanimation.zip thats in my system/media folder and it has a desc.txt and a folder containing about 300 .pngs & the folder is named "part0". So I guess gifs are not going to work. My question is how would I get, lets say BF3/Dice game startup as boot animation? Maybe I should contact the person who made MW3 bootanimation but im scared that I would need to split the video(if I can get it) into 300 pngs. Sounds like a lot of work.lol.

Hey everyone I just found a battlefield 3 boot animation, but the resolution is larger then the xperia plays screen res. Im going to work on it and post a link to share here if OP doesnt mind. Also the images(around 300) are jpgs & not pngs. My original bootanimation has uses pngs. Does anyone know if pngs run smoother & if I should convert to png?? I think png has better compression meaning a smaller zip file.

Ive got a question about changing the boot animation.

I know how to change the boot animation on my rooted nook color (very easy to do), however i don't know how to do it on the Xperia Play (just got my Play from Verizon 2 days ago), mainly in doing a backup of the current boot animation and changing it to the one I want. Can someone point me to a step by step guide or, if its just a short one, post one here?

I know the instructions say flash the boot animation and reboot but it seems way to vague to me.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ioo7:
Push it to system/ media, use root explorer, hit the r/w button on top. Rename it bootanimation.zip and change permission to rw-r-r and now reboot, hope that helped

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabriolinari:
hi there

i wanted to know what is the real reason for we have to use an app such as clocksync (great by the way).

for instance, my old 10 years nokia doesn't need "resync" and keeps the right timing while my smartphone now needs to have the time corrected otherwise it will drift away plenty of minutes.

and also, in order to sync with clock sync, i need a data connection, but if i travel overseas and i keep my data roaming disabled, i will never be able to do that, correct?

thanks

gabrio
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Who says you have to use the app? I use it mainly on my touchpad because the clock gets reset sometimes and the market doesn't work because of it, unless this happens on your phone you don't need to use it. Yes you need a data connection for it, or wifi.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stylez:
It is hardly ever really out on time but I like to be precise so even since the days of WM have used applications similar to clock sync and clock sync therefore is essential to me...

Sent from the valley of the shadows....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyCoder:
I'm ClockSync developer, your question is answered in the application FAQ:

Q: Why would I need ClockSync, Android already has Automatic setting for Date & time?

Not all the mobile operators support automatic time synchronization mechanism called Network Identity and Time Zone (NITZ), therefore this setting may have no effect at all. Even if your provider supports NITZ, the information it sends may be inaccurate. There are also devices without SIM card, especially tablets that have no access to the network time. If Android Automatic mode works fine for you, then you are lucky and probably don't need ClockSync, otherwise it's recommended to disable it to avoid conflicts and getting incorrect time, see also a question about wrong time after synchronization below.

Hi, my name is crasher and I have a HTC Sensation. After reading and reading and reading stuff about rooting and putting a custom rom on my phone (believe me I almost used them all), I made the desision to use the ENERGY Rom.

I looked arround but can't find anything about removing these ads and to be honest, it starts to annoy me. I tried several ad blockers but none of the does the trick, can anyone help me out or do I just have to use another rom?
