I hate Go Launcher too, and I can't get rid of it. I did tweak it to make it a little better, used the menu key and then selected "preferences", then "effects" and changed my homescreen transition to "cube (outside)"...I also find Go Launcher to be a little bit snappier, than Blur...Are you using Bootstrap or Safestrap? If Bootstrap you have to go to recovery from that app. With Safestrap, you should have an option to press the menu button to get to recovery, when booting up the phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] RTNDO128:
Thanks for the response. Bootstrap was used, so that explains it. I PM'd chevycam94, the developer of Steel Droid, and he told me how to get rid of Go Launcher. Basically, just redownload the .rar for Steel Droid and go under system/apps and delete Launcher2.apk. We did that and reflashed, and it's now back to Blur.

Hi, i want to put this ROM in my phone :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1096043

i unlocked the bootloader with HTC DEV and rooted

hboot - 2.00.0002

radio - 3822.10.08.04_M

can u tell me what i need to do to put this rom on my device

and tell me please what is use of RADIO and hboot ?

thanks !
[HTC Desire S] sagarda7:
1.First download Rom manager from market

2. Rom manager flashes ClockworkMod Recovery

3. Now download that rom and save to sd card

4. Now reboot into recovery from ROM manager

5. Inside recovery navigate to backup and restore. now make backup of your current ROM(Very important) or you can directly make backup from ROM manager

6) When you finish backing up,

7) format data/factory reset

8) From advanced, format data,system,cache

9) Also format cache partition

10) Finally, goto install from zip from SD card

11) Navigate your download rom and confirm by pressing YES

12) Wail till CWM flashes

13) Reboot and wait.........................done....

And never flash radio or hboot if it is not necessary.
[HTC Desire S] IgorICS:
i did all you said, and i was stuceked at htc logo for 20 mins...i pulled out battery

and tryed to go in recovery to restore backup, and now i'm sutcked at htc logo again

i have revoluntionary cwm...

what should I do ?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
@sagarda : You forgot a very important thing... He unlocked his phone using HTC dev site. That means the boot is still locked. So the kernel is still preserved from the old ROM, which is incompatible with the ROM he's flashed now, and this is never going to allow the phone to boot up with this new ROM.

So he has to flash boot.img separately from fastboot. I know you were only trying to help, but it's best to only give advice that you have actually tried yourself, otherwise you may end up bricking someone's phone trying to help him.

As for @igorICS, you need to extract boot.img from the ROM zip, and flash it separately using fastboot if you want to boot up this new ROM. And please learn to do some reading before taking the plunge, rather than later...
[HTC Desire S] IgorICS:
i pulled battery again and i enered recovery somehow, and recived message,

''can't mount ...''

and i just restored my backup

and i dont wanna **** around with this thing...
[HTC Desire S] sagarda7:
Thanks for your advice.why HTC dev released the method to unlock if that Does not let other to enjoy custom ROM?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Because they are a corporation. And corporations are known for this kind of stupidity.

Heard of Apple? They are the benchmark for all this nonsense! :D:D
[HTC Desire S] IgorICS:
I flashed CoreDroid room and after that i extracted boot.img from ROM.zip

and in fastboot entered this

C:\Android>fastboot flash C:\Desktop boot.img

sending 'C:\Users\Igor\Desktop' (2194 KB)... OKAY [ 0.374s]

writing 'C:\Users\Igor\Desktop'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

finished. total time: 0.655s

i get FAILED result i dont know whats the problem but I wont try to boot my phone

im afraid getting stucked on htc logo again..

no way bro, maybe I'm retarded but this thing wont flash...i flashed sucsessfuly boot.img and im stucked on htc logo again...doesn't matter ill press thanks button cause you tried to help me.. this thing wont flash.. i dont know why..
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Just add a \ between Desktop and boot.img! :D

I try not to use desktop for cmd purposes...

Just to be 100% sure, follow the steps below:

1. Make a new folder in C:\ called boot

2. Now place the boot.img in the folder you created (C:\boot)

3. Now,

using fastboot

, type the following at the command prompt (for you, i see that it is C:\Android) -----

fastboot flash boot C:\boot\boot.img

4. Once you get a confirmation of a successful flash, type adb reboot

5. That's it. Enjoy your new ROM ! :)
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kellersw:
Ok... first, I have researched this exhaustively and can 100% say that this is a real problem and not someone trying to access data on a stolen phone.

A car ran over my phone (no not me) and surprisingly it still works! But I enabled a security pattern (I still know it) but since the screen is cracked I can't access one of the dots needed for the pattern. Is there anyway that I can hook this up via USB and access phone memory (contacts, pictures of kids, etc.) It does not look like the phone memory is backed up to the SD card but perhaps there is a way to remote force it to do so and then I can just retrieve the data from the SD card... Who ever can solve this can have the phone for free! It still works, receives, texts, etc.... (I know because I keep seeing text messages notifications appear)

From other research it looks like you can do a hard reset and force it to back up to the SD card but F***ing ATT disabled this feature on their OS...any way to get this feature back?

Thanks,

HTC Aria / HTC intruder

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Pictures are stored on the SD card in the DCIM folder, so you shouldn't have an issue with that. If your contacts are saved to the SIM card or stored in the cloud via Google Contacts, you can access them from another phone/computer -- it's only an issue if the contacts are stored to internal memory.

Is your phone rooted? Do you have USB debugging enabled on the phone?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kellersw:
Thanks. No it isn't rooted. I'm most concerned about getting the contacts off of the internal memory. I wasn't always smart about making all new contacts "google" contacts. I'd love to see the text messages that I haven't sen yet as well as export all my text message threads to my new phone. I don't have USB debugging enabled as I believe that AT&T took this option away. Suggestions?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
AT&T did not disable USB debugging. It's a setting found under Settings > Applications > Development. Unfortunately, it's not enabled by default. If it is enabled, then you can access the internal memory by connecting your phone to a computer via USB.

Outside of that, I'm not aware of any way to access the phone's contacts or text messages except replacing the digitizer on the phone.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WinSuk:
You might be able to get the contacts off with HTC Sync, but it needs to be selected when the phone gets plugged in... Pretty sure it does that by default, but if you've changed the default to USB storage or something this might not work...

Worth a try I say :P

So while I just read about this new ROM, and while I also read that it's literally only three weeks old I'm sure not that many people have heard or seen it.It looks pretty cool and while most of the devs have there hands full between ICS , CM9, Miui I don't think anyone could ask for it in the near future.Just figured other people would be interested. Also curious if it would be possible to port it?

Hi everyone

I've just got my player but I can't get the device to lock on with the gps, has any one had the same problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WT Ho:
Have you try doing it out door with an open sky? It will still take a while to get an initial lock. If you have a wifi connection, it will be faster because Google will use the wifi access point location in estimating your current location.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] markr041:
Get the program GPS test. Turn on your GPS (you do not need wifi at all). Go outside. You should get a lock in less than a minute. The program will show you the satellites it sees and when you are locked. When locked it will give the latitude and longitude coordinates and the UC time.

First time I turned on the GPS indoors the samsung "saw" 9 satellites, and locked in less than 30 seconds. The GPS is the fastest I have seen on any device. I have locked on in a moving train as well.

Another likkle update. I have maganed to connect my bluetooth keyboard, mouse and bluetooth Hi-Fi wireless Headset all at once and they all work together without any sluggishness/delay. The bluetooth headphones adapter i use is the sony ericsson MW600. Its also works well with SKYPE calls. This is great as i can skype downstairs in the kitchen while my tab is in my room on my dock.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
I am hoping there is an easy way to troubleshoot and fix this issue. Every couple of days I can try to turn my screen on and nothing happens. I have to pull the battery to get it to come back up. When it comes up I notice the battery has dropped anywhere from 20-30%. I have tried a couple of different rom's. I am on the EL13 modem. I have tried the El26 and EL29 modem's but I have the same issue. I am not using any oc apps. How can I troubleshoot this and try to correct it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flyingandroid:
When in doubt, backup, wipe, and flash the same or a different ROM. It's a bit tedious, but that usually fixes the problem. What ROM are you on right now?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
I have done that. Was on caulkin's 2.8 now on the latest blazer. I believe it is related to the LOS bug. I just happened to be on a phone call when it happened again. It dropped the call and the screen went black but the phone didn't restart. I had to pull the battery and when it came up I had lost about 20% of the battery. Trying a different modem now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pinandstutter:
There was a similar problem on the OG Epic...maybe this thread will help?

If it's not just a display issue (and something is actually draining the battery), I assume you've tried BetterBatteryStats? It usually works wonders for finding the source of wakelock problems.

EDIT: Actually responded to the question!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
I have been trying to monitor this and it seems to be a different issue than what I thought. I thought it was related to the LOS but it isn't. My screen won't come and I have to reboot the phone. I think the battery level is just being shown incorrectly. I don't know why the screen won't come on. It is like it is asleep and won't wake up. I have been searching thru the forums and trying to monitor my phone processes to see what might be causing this. I have not found a solution yet. I have tried 3 different rom's so far and it seems to happen at least once a day regardless of the rom. I have wiped the phone and installed fresh. I have tried different modem versions and that didn't help either. Not sure what to do at this point.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] husker apollo:
im having this issue as well actually and i have to conclude that it's a battery display issue; my phone will be over 50% charged then drop as low as 8% when i reboot. i thought it went away with my last blazer flash but it still happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flyingandroid:
If it helps at all, I was/am running the MIUI rom and the phone would lock up on a nearly full charge at the same location. It was every time I walked out of class in the morning, the phone would just go black screen. I'd hold down the power, reboot, and wouldn't have that problem anywhere else. Hope this helps us find an answer.
[Thunderbolt General] DNak206:
I have read every possible thread you can imagine on battery calibration and can never seem to do this correctly, is it a myth? No matter what I do, if I restart my phone, I end up going from 100% down to 85-86% EVERY SINGLE time.

This is after "bumping it". (letting it drain all the way to 0% and then fully charging again).

This is after using BATTERY CALIBRATION in the market which was told works well. (again, advises you charge to 100% then "calibrate" it via the APP).

This is after charging it to 100% and restarting it, recharging up to 100%, restarting and recharging (repeat, repeat, repeat), and then going into bootloader and wiping battery stats.

None of these have worked, does someone have a sure fire EXACT way to do this properly or is at ALL just hype? Help.
[Thunderbolt General] bpyazel:
Your battery will never say 100% after a reboot. It sucks up a lot of juice on a power up and the battery doesn't charge during powering on. I usually drop about 10% on a reboot using the rezound battery. That is normal behavior. If you can charge to 100% with the phone on then you're fine.
[Thunderbolt General] DNak206:
Interesting because I've never lost 15-16% consistently although I guess it using some juice to cycle makes sense. Anyone else seen 10+ every restart? Thanks for the help man in either case.
[Thunderbolt General] Watoy:
Hmm, never seen this before. On my phone which is running skyraider uc to 768mhz and uv only loses 1percent on reboot or doesn't even lose charge at all. Not sure why your phone is doing that.
[Thunderbolt General] smoody:
I am running G3D uc to 768mhz and on restart I may lose 1 - 5% at most depending on if i made any changes that take a longer restart. I bet you are overclocked? no need, under clock to 768mhz and your phone will run as smooth as 1.2mhz..maybe smoother while using less battery
[Thunderbolt General] buzzdroidx:
Running liquid 3.2.1 on my T-Bolt with the Rezound battery and I only lose 1% battery at boot up. Never lost more...oh and I have never calibrated my battery. Also I get about 8-10 hours of moderate to heavy use too. All stock clocks btw
[Thunderbolt General] wherestheboost:
Just to double check - or reword... do it this way - if you aren't already.

Charge to 100%.

Wipe Batt stats

Drain to zero without recharging in any way (AKA let it drain until it shuts off on you).

Recharge until 100% (till it says 100%, not just "green."). And unplug.

And you're good! Try that and check back in.
[Thunderbolt General] smoody:
Battery Calibration doesn't work
[Thunderbolt General] l7777:
Ignore the % number, it means nothing. Use the battery monitor widget or another program that will show you the actual battery voltage. A fully charged battery will be somewhere around 4200 mV and a discharged battery between 3600 and 3200 mV. I've also noticed that the rezound battery throws things off as the mAh rating doesn't match up to either of the thunderbolt batteries. This is why the battery monitor widget shows the rezound battery as 2750 mAh instead of 1620.
[Thunderbolt General] teh roxxorz:
What I recommend to my Evo peeps [which I have] is this:

-Charge battery to 100%

-Wipe battery stats in recovery

-Let the battery drain, so it manually powers off

-Charge to 100% again, and good to go
[Thunderbolt General] smoody:
By this I mean Google Developers have came out recently and said battery calibration does not increase or have any effect on the state of battery life. All wiping the battery stats does is wipe the stats as to what has been using the battery, etc.

still handy for when you flash a new rom to wipe the stats, but it doesn't improve battery life at all.
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
Actually, the post from Dianne @ Google said nothing about calibration. She only talked about wiping or deleting the battery stats file.
[Thunderbolt General] smoody:
You are correct, however all the battery calibration apps available only delete the battery stats file. So like I said it doesn't affect battery life.
