Please help me get my phone back to the standard stock rom.

I'm in the UK and on 3 Network.

Last night i installed the ics 4.0.3 with XXKP8, this was the first time i have ever tried this and it worked first time, but i keep losing my icons on the screen and have to restart the phone. So i want to to return it back.

Ive checked the flash counter and its still at NO

Ive been on these forums and google reading and trying to fix this all day and ive got so far and now im stuck.

I think i need to install the XWKI4 kernal. I have downloaded it along with the other download that was linked to it but the file extensions or names seems to be of the wrong name.

When i was doing it last night the file extensions were MD5 & tar

but everything im downloading today is image file & vlc ???

I just flashed my A500 to a "near stock rooted 3.2 ROM" and after a while I got updates from market. One of those was an update for "superuser"! Is it safe to update it or should I leave it like that - pending?

I come from Windows Mobile so basically know less than you people about Android.

I did a google search trying to find out if I bought a bluetooth backup camera will it pair with my Android phone (HTC Rezound)

I want to use it for hooking up my trailer.

Has anyone tried this and got it to work?

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] 85gallon:
it should pair with it but you will need an Android based app to view the video feed on your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] mike2727:
Have been looking all over for an app that can do this, no developers jumping on this ?

I think it would be a huge market

Mike
[General Questions and Answers] Hitch_Itch:
same here, i would think a app like that would be a huge hit

go figure
[General Questions and Answers] mike2727:
Yes you could buy the camera between $ 50 to $ 100 that will fit your vehicle compared to the aftermarket kits that are out there that will run $ 400 to $ 1700 (OEM) for certain vehicles, that will use the OEM Nav Screen

Not looking to have a gazillion screens in the car, one for each single application.

Lets bring our tablets/phones to good use !

Hope developers are listening, because they could make real good money on something like this
[General Questions and Answers] gtszzz:
Anyone got this figured out yet? I found this app http://www.appszoom.com/android_developer/juergen-kienhoefer_byhny.html that might work. but not having any luck finding a bluetooth enabled camera that's waterproof and wide angle that would work for the application. The one for that app is spendy and I don't think it'll work as it just uses an on board battery for the power so you'd have to take it out and charge it regularly and I highly doubt it's waterproof.

I did purchase a cheap backup cam and was trying to find a bluetooth transmitter that I could hook it to either via the cam's RCA output or a 3.5mm jack via an adaptor.

I would love to find an app or have one developed for this that would automatically pair and display the camera once the camera is turned on via the backup lights.

i been trying to figure this out as well

but i want a camera that is on all the time while i am riding my motorcycle and use my GN2 as a monitor

i came across these 3 possible options

this camera which says it works via wifi with android os but the camera seems to big for my application

http://www.ebay.com/itm/230949437787?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

2nd option is another wifi camera but you have to view streaming via the web

this has a youtube video

http://www.ebay.com/itm/180862777730?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

3rd option is another wifi camera. im waiting on the seller to give me more iof if it will pair with my GN2

http://www.ebay.com/itm/321093995489?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

im still looking into bluetooth cameras and i will post what i find

I am doing something kind of similar and just discovered this: http://store.contour.com/

Seems pretty expensive, but I am sure there are some other options out there. You have to use their app in order to view the camera's output and the framerate looks like it's pretty poor from what I saw on the iPhone version of the app. Not sure if Android will be better.

[General Questions and Answers] Phredeee:
I purchased the 4ucam Wifi setup. It works good enough, but there is a problem. With the wifi setup to see the camera you can not get data over 4G. This means if you want to use the camera in your car and still be able to get email or map data etc. you must manually turn on your wifi and wait about 10 seconds for the camera to connect. Then when done using the camera (backing up) manually turn off the wifi to enable 4G data again. Then when you get home, manually turn on the wifi again to use your wifi internet connection.

You must also turn off the feature to auto switch between wifi and mobile networks.

This would be the same for any camera using wifi. I've not found a way to use a non-internet connected wifi network and get mobile network data at the same time.

Still searching for a way to get a backup camera on my android phone.

I got my N1 a few days ago... I noticed when i use it for about 7-8min(for example market, apps, games - gameloft) the phone gets a bit warm on the back bottom. I installed phone overheating app, and it says that my battery temp is 36C (91F)... so maybe its cpu? Is it normal?

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2397729,00.asp

Essentially saying that it's pretty much dead already.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
I never bought the hype around it. Unless Google lays down the law..they will always half ass give updates.

They don't make money upgrading existing devices when they can just crank out new devices with minimal upgrades.
[HTC EVO 3D] rank78:
Yeah I'm surprised they even bothered agreeing to such an 'alliance' when carriers would have to sacrifice their bloatware and faster phone turnover. On the plus side it seems like HTC will be focusing more on quality over quantity. A few mouths back there was an article on them using better camera hardware, another article discussed better sound I believe, and last week I read how they are slimming down the number of devices so they can concentrate more on a smaller lineup.

That being said I would like to see a pure Google phone from HTC/Sprint. Sitting around waiting for them to release OS updates is a joke, not to mention the hoops devs jump through in order to bring us ROMS.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
I'm a huge fan of HTC and Sense, I just don't see HTC making a "Google Phone" with Sense. It'll be another Nexus One.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zabalba:
Truth of the matter is Google can't force OEMs and Carriers to update older devices to whatever is the latest and greatest.

OEMs are not compensated for their add ins (TouchWiz, Sense, etc). If there was some direct compensation by Google they would feel obligated to bring out timely updates.

As some of you know, the OEMs do this to differentiate themselves from the android pack.

Also from a marketing standpoint, it hurts sales if their older models had the newest OS. There would be no incentive to upgrade your handset if it runs everything you already have.

Fragmentation is here to stay unless Google makes OEMs release two different updates for each phone. One with vanilla (working drivers etc) and one with the add-ins.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
+1.

This is why I love teams like CM who create AOSP roms from source...

Android being so "open" is actually why everything is so fragmented. It won't change...it may even get worse as companies continue tap-dance around it and consumers get tired of asking why. Eventually we'll just accept it.

Sadly, if you want all the updates then you'll have to move away from android.
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
Or buy a Nexus (just bought my first one)
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
No offense, but, I hate when people say this..

My options of getting a Nexus

1. Leave Sprint and buy a Galaxy Nexus, Can't and won't do it..especially for a craphole like Verizon.

2. Buy a terribly dated Nexus S that was getting old when Sprint first started selling it. No thank you..
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
I was just throwing it out there, as that's the only official method of getting an Android phone that gets immediate updates.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Yea I know man, I really wasn't trying to be a jackwod about it either.

The whole deal is just an unfortunate circumstance that comes with being an Android owner.
[HTC EVO 3D] rstuckmaier:
Could also get a GSM Nexus and T-mobile or At&t...
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Which still falls under option 1.

I happen to be under contract and overall happy with what I get from Sprint. Never any nickel and dime surprises on my bill that I got relentlessly from AT&T and Verizon.

We are basically stuck, but it is what it is. Money makes the world go'round and we should be happy we get updates at all I guess..
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
Very true. I'd rather be in this situation than be in the iTunes world, that's for sure.
[HTC EVO 3D] ummduh:
I personally think that CyanogenMod should release their own line of phones.

Why wait and hope for someone to make exactly what we all really want? Just build it.

I do think I would honestly move ASAP to any carrier that allowed a such a phone on their network.

I can only imagine all the hurdles to get over to make it happen, but, wouldn't it be sweet??
[HTC EVO 3D] tokuzumi:
I hope this never happens. Cyanogen would just become another OEM, and would need to make decisions about what phones to upgrade, when to upgrade those phones, and which ones to leave behind. Plus, Cyanogen also needs dev support from members of each type of phone they support. So, if a dev goes to a different phone, the support for that phone will either need to be transferred to another dev, or support may be dropped. Right now, the cyanogen team is on top of the world. I want them to stay there.

What I would like is for manufacturers like motorola and htc to treat their boot loaders more like Samsung, and LG. They don't need to be encrypted.

Hello mate you got really wierd problem. Try to clear cache for htc sense and weather and clock application. let me know if it work>>>>>>>

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

WiFi location determination is done automatically, so there's no way to manually update a location, but it does help to expedite the process if you connect with your sensation to your router while your GPS is turned on (and has a clear view of the sky) - over time, the WiFI location should be more accurate as google update their location database.

wrong locations could happen for several reasons. If a location is accurate but named incorrectly, Google may not have been able to correctly identify the location by its latitude and longitude. If you use cell ID (cell tower) or WiFi (wireless) location detection on your phone or computer, Google may have wrong or outdated location data for that particular cell tower or WiFi access point in location databases. Please keep in mind that coverage for both Google's cell ID (cell tower) and WiFi (wireless network) location databases varies by location and is not complete. They are always working to improve both coverage and accuracy over time. You may also delete any individual wrong locations from your history at any time by selecting the location and deleting it from the google dashbord.

[HTC Sensation] yasobaso:
Similar Problem?

Hi,

I've maybe a similar/related problem; my clock is getting out of sync. During the day it's not happening. I coudn't determine the reason yet, but it happens every time my wireless and GPS locating is enabled. I'm getting wrong location information almost always. But if I disable GPS location and leave only wireless enabled I get correct location information. Now I try to figure out why this is effecting my system clock if in anyway possible. I don't think this

is a insertcoin bug, because I had this on ARHD 6.x as well. I already cleared clock app cache, deleted the alarm and created a new one. Does anyone else have/had something similar?

The stupid thing is I'm getting late to work :rolleyes: and need to use another

method to wake up on time.

I'm on ICS 4.0.3 (insertcoin 4.5.4) base Sensation with Ultrasmooth Rosie applied.
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
I am currently using Insertcoin 4.5.4 also but i happens with every sense rom i use.And its not just my ISP, Happens with any Internet connection i use "WIFI" and annoyingly changes my timezone.Only way i have found around this is to set my location manually.Weather in London is a tad different to here in cornwall
[HTC Sensation] yasobaso:
Strange that you are on Insertcoin as well, maybe we should post this question in the ROM post of insertcoin and ask others. Unfortunately I can't as I have not enough posts yet :(
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
As i said in my last post it happens with all roms and i am ALWAYS in Tianjin
[HTC Sensation] tlgerdes:
Try changing the name of your Wireless SSID. I have a wireless router that I use for travel, everytime I connect to it, it says I am in Colorado as I used it over there for a week.

This will force it to make a new entry in the Location DB and associate it with your current location, it could be that it is matching your SSID with someone in China
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
Tried everything, Finally my solution was to take

/data/data/com.htc.provider.weather/files/WP_0409WWE.db

Edit it in a SQL Editor and add my current location! Didnt like me renaming the United Kingdom to Bonesville though :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crazcarl:
can any one help me? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kinbote:
Please someone correct me if this is wrong, as I'm still new to this as well.

First you need to choose a ROM and (optionally) a kernel.

Then you will need to install (unzip) the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit. (Link below)

Then install the Samsung Galaxy Nexus device drivers. (Link below)

Use MSKIPS' Galaxy Nexus Toolkit v2.2 to unlock your bootloader and flash CWM recovery. (Link below)

Reboot your phone and copy your chosen ROM and kernel (in their respective .zip files) to the phone's internal storage.

Turn the phone back off.

Boot the phone in to bootloader mode by holding down volume up + volume down + the power button.

Press volume down until the "Recovery Mode" option appears, then press the power button. This will boot you in to CWM recovery.

Create a backup before going further via the "backup and restore" function on the list (Navigate through this menu via the volume up/down buttons and select the item with the power button).

Click "Install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard".

Navigate to your chosen ROM and press the power button, then confirm that you want to install by clicking "Yes."

Once this has finished installing, navigate to your chosen kernel and install that too.

Reboot the phone and it will be running your new firmware.

Before you download a ROM make sure you confirm that it will work on your device. If you have the 4G capable version of the Galaxy Nexus you're using the LTE/CDMA version, otherwise you have the GSM version.

I'm using the GSM version and I chose Bigxie's ROM and Francisco Franco's kernel and they are running together marvelously. Although my phone's build number is IML74K.

If you choose to install the same ROM as me you will also need to flash another zip directly after flashing the rom. The instructions are on the first post of the dedicated thread.

This thread has the links to both the Samsung Galaxy Nexus drivers and the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit v2.2 (which contains MSKIPS' Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to unlock your bootloader and flash CWM).

If you have the GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus you can search for ROM's here.

If you have the CDMA/LTE (4G) version you can search for ROM's here.

I apologize for the links, as I'm a new member I can't post directly to outside sources - so you will have to browse the threads to get the proper download links. In a way it's better because you should be reading those links anyway!

Again, someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Other than that - Have fun!

4.0.2 has (apparently) been pulled OTA due to some issues. You can flash the package manually if you want it but otherwise you'd need to wait for 4.0.3 to be pushed out by Google

can i install google wallet even if im on 4.0.1? if so i don't want to update to 4.0.2 if not i have no choice but to update my GN. thnks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kinbote:
I'm not sure about that, sorry. It's not available at all in Australia so I haven't really looked into it. However looking at this thread I'd assume you need to be on 4.0.2+ for it to work.

I do know that Bigxie's 4.0.3 GSM ROM and the GApps package on the same page come with Google Wallet though.
