I just got a used A500. How do I do a full master reset so I can make it like I just opened it up new. Thanks guys,
[Acer Iconia A500] ultramag69:
Go to settings>Privacy>factory data reset...
[Acer Iconia A500] essevee:
There's also a reset button on your device ;) Or has this button another function?
[Acer Iconia A500] spaz2k7:
Yes however I do believe that this does not clear the internal SD storage. I too wonder about the op`s question. How does on completely reset the tablet including the internal sdcard.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
If you do this and the previous owner had deleted phone.apk and telephonyprovider.apk from /system/apps, then it'll get stuck at the logo when rebooting. Check to make sure those files are there before doing a factory reset or data wipe.

Also, Check to see what ROM is on it. Is it stock? or is it a custom ROM? If a custom ROM, then to make it new you'd have to install STOCK.

So it comes down to how NEW you want it.

There's a thread that discusses downgrading to 3.01 using nvflash. That's the most sure way of putting back to factory settings, without knowing the exact status of it currently.

The easiest method probably is to just install a custom or stock ROM with a data wipe. But you need to do a little digging to find out if your on the old bootloader or new one and weather or not the tablet is already rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
Hey guys, anyone can show me how change the volume bar color and the lockscreen clock font, so it looks the same as ICS. I'm using CM7. Please tell my exactly what to do (what I use to ''open'' and close'' the needed files, what to change, what possible files to change, etc), because my knowledge isn't good at this.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ert69:
You need to flash the ICS font. I think it was called roboto or something along these lines. Search the forum, you will find it. Its a zip file.

Regarding the volume bar though - think u need to change framework.apk. not sure tho.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
I don't think I need to flash the font. I use font changer, and it should change everything, even the clock, so I think it's framework related too, but I don't know how change it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
Never mind about the clock, I changed the Clockopia.tff for AndroidClock.tff and renamed it. But it still want to change the volume bar color.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
I know that, but I have 3 MODs on my framework, and I must know what to change in the framework to change the color. There must be a code somewhere that says wich color is used for the bar.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corey@rabbit:
you need to decompile framework. (there are milliond of guides on how) once done go to the res/drawable folder. In it look for the progress_horizontal.xml file. open that file with notepad or notepad++ to edit it. there are 3 sets of 3 colors in there. top group is for the background grey, you need to change the other two groups.

Also, if you know the hex color for ics off hand i will do the change and send you the file so you can drop it straight into the framework. :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
Thanks for your help. I will try to find the hex color from ICS, and after that I upload my framework. But I won't turn on my PC today. Tomorrow, after I wake up, I will upload it.

EDIT: Found color code. Can make sure is this one (I am on my phone), but here is it: FF33B5E5

EDIT 2: If possible, take some screenshots and send to me, only from the editing part. I was trying to do and I coudn't understand exactly how to change.

welp, found my problem. troubles came about when i tried to flash the 2.3.5 update in order to get to the new eclipse rom. didnt think it worked but the phones on 2.3.5 now, and i guess it wasnt supposed to be flashed over a rooted version of 2.3.4?
[Motorola Droid X2] balltongue:
You can SBF your motorola phone on osx. Go here http://blog.opticaldelusion.org/ and download sbf_file. On OSX fire up Terminal and run this command:

sh sbf_flash nameofsbf.sbf

Then sit back.

I am trying to theme contacts.apk from valhalla final rom. I am able to decompile and make my xml edits but when I try to recompile I always get errors. Any help would be appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
you are just fine. Warnings are normal. Ignore them. Unless you get screwed by java, you are fine. Also, anytime you make it to "Building Apk" you will be just fine.

BUT, DON"T copy the build apk into your system, it will fc. Go to "folderfordecompiledapp/build/apk/... and in there, copy all the file you edited into your "original" contacts apk (the one thats on your phone). Use 7zip, or winzip.

...note: any values folders that you edited won't appear in the /build/apk/res folder. It builds into a "resources.rsrc" file. So copy "resources.rsrc" to your original apk directly thus adding your new values folders.

---------- Post added at 04:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 AM ----------

Also, if you are actually going to do more stuff like this in the future, then I would suggest you move over to apktool. It is far less buggy and it is great, also, once you install the dependencies to it, you don't have to ever worry again about adding dependencies. (apktool is what developers use.)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Racing19969:
Thanks for the help airfluip1. I will give that a try. I have been using apktool but it was also giving me these errors so I thought I would try apk manager.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Lolclint:
OK so me and my gf decided to trade phones I have a rooted HTC Inspire and she has a samsung galaxy S2. I went into recovery wiped cache and did a fullwipe put her sim card in and get no service at all. I put my sim card back into the inspire and still get no service

Can someone help please I need my phone for work!

Got this message when I tried to connect to the ATT Network

your sim card does not allow connection to this network
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Sorry, I am bit confused...you did a full wipe, didn't flash a new rom and the old one is working?...have you tried swapping SIM Cards before? because not all sim cards are compatible with unlock Inspire....search the Ace Hack Kit thread, because someone came into that problem....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952352

Hope it helps...:D

EDIT: Sorry I just saw the error message the phone is sending you...haven't you erased anything?...If the sim card is ATT it doesn't matter is the phone is rooted or not....but haven't you erased anything? try using this menu:

dial * # * # 4 6 3 6 # * # * and then go to bands pressing menu. Check if the bands there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Lolclint:
I had a ton of stuff on the phone she did not want, So I did a full wipe and flashed the HD revolution rom again and still no service. I understand that not all sims will work but even putting mine back in there is no service.

Can it be something wrong with the radio?
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Perhaps...but if you didn't change radios, have you?...then it might not be that.

Do the following...try go flash ARHD againg or an Stock rom and see what happens....maybe you had a bad flash....

you can find stock roms here:

Has anyone compared the performance between these two ROMS? If you have, what kind of performance/interface tweaks are different between the two?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cadiken:
I suggest flashing each and see which one you like. They may run different on your Xoom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slonn:
I ran TeamEOS's ICS until yesterday and am now running the CM9 rom. I honestly can't see a difference with regards to performance issues. Will hang on to CM9 for now, but if TeamEOS come up with something spectacular I'm going back to their ICS nightlies. So far the only difference I've noticed is face recognition unlock not working in CM9.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liftman-:
the rogue kernel was slightly faster, but all of the eos features can not be beat right now.

I found both to run with the same smoothness.

I thank all the developers from all the teams for their hard work.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gg777:
I tried both. Eos has more features, but CM9 is faster.

Quadrant benchmark without overcloking:

Eos: 2303

CM9: 3174
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piotrusc:
My experience:

TeamEOS nightly is smoother, CM9 (1-15) has CIFS working. (the reason I switched, but will go back to TeamEOS once they got CIFS working).

Is there anybody out there who knows how too make the voulme louder than it is? Because i used too have a galaxy and would use vodoo but is there anyway for this phone?
[LG Thrill 4G] Truth04:
If your rooted you can use "volume+". It has settings for both the speakers & headset.
[LG Thrill 4G] Ju5Tic3Droid:
Well if its for making music louder.. Poweramp a music App actually has a "preamp" in its equalizer to boost the overall sound output. And on top of that I just like it better than androids music player more shuffleing and options.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nygfan760:
Hey, can anybody point me in the direction of a theme for any of the i897/i9000 roms (not CM7, MIUI, or AOSP) that is based off Windows Phone 7. I understand I can get Launcher 7, apps, etc; but I would like a theme.

I don't want a windows phone, so don't say "Get a Windows Phone if you want it" or anything to that regard, I just like the look.

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mbc663:
There aren't any for a non

Aosp i don't think. Maybe launcher pro or adw with a theme is the closest you'll get.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] D@rkDroid:
Why?

Why would anybody want a Windows theme on an Android? Just saying!!! :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nygfan760:
...............:confused:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mbc663:
What did u end up doing?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nygfan760:
I didn't need a new launcher. I have launcher 7. I just needed themed apps/framework, but I decided to screw it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mbc663:
Themed app icons? Or the entire app ui themed?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nygfan760:
I have Launcher 7 lol. I need the actual apps themed, but it's not really a big deal anymore.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mbc663:
Why the lol? :/
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nygfan760:
I wouldn't need themed icons when I said I had Launcher 7. I created this thread solely to see if anyone has made a theme, or could make one.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Sithis:
I know you decided to scrap the idea, but if you change your mind or someone stumbles upon this thread in the future (and the fact that I typed all this out and found all the links before I saw that you didn't want to do it anymore) I'll post this anyway.

I did this a few months back with some decent results. Keep in mind this is Gingerbread based as ICS didn't exist when I tried. YMMV on an ICS port.

I used MIUI with this theme. The project has been discontinued, but it may still work with more recent builds.

I used Launcher 7 (Free|Donate) but you may want to try out these apps which have recently become free. I have only seriously used Launcher 7, but previous versions seemed (I DID NOT TEST, this is just what it seemed like) to drain the battery a bit more than I liked. Again, this was months ago and not scientific and the battery "drain" was not serious.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nygfan760:
I actually did that already lol, but I was looking for an i897 based samsung rom theme, but thanks a lot for the link to those free apps, I appreciate it!
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Nice, get with Mtmichaelson and Cubed, they are working on Cm9 also!
[LG Revolution] aichrist:
Great! I saw in the CM7 thread that thecubed put up a git repo. I'm not sure exactly what his development plan is, but I'd be happy to fork his repo and trade patches, logs, etc. The more devs we have on this, the better... it's not a trivial task and I'm sure my wife hates me by now for spending so many hrs on it so far.
[LG Revolution] elreydotcom:
If I read correctly, thecubed just got a master repository set up for the revolution, so maybe the files that are needed could be lurking in there? I'll see if I can find the link and post it here.

I know in irc tonight cubed was talking about it. Guess they have to work on a few things but it's coming along. Wish I knew more so I could help out in this to. Guess I could be the Guinea pig.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Awesome job so far! For a lot of things to work correctly, it's my understanding that you'll need a new kernel. For at least the touchscreen issues, you need the "idc" file in the "/system/usr/idc" directory (not sure if you have that or not, I didn't get a chance to check yet)

Either way, if you'd like to get in contact with me, hop on IRC and I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Excellent work!
[LG Revolution] aichrist:
Yeah I see thecube's repo at https://github.com/thecubed/android_device_lge_revolution. His CM files are a lot cleaner than mine... I just copied the crespo config and haven't had time to clean it up yet. I'll do some diffs of his vs mine and see about getting things merged. My github repo has some additional files so what I could do is replace my vs910 device folder with a fork of thecube's repo.

I'm not sure whether his files are for CM7 or CM9 (or if it doesn't matter). I'm new to CM porting, but I'm not new to linux or android app development.
[LG Revolution] aichrist:
Thanks for the tip. I'll check that out. So far I've mainly been banging my head on getting the adreno205 drivers working, but it sure would be nice to have touch working. That'd be the next priority.

I'm tempted to switch of 3d acceleration but I am focusing on one thing at a time.

I'll hop on IRC. Which channel are you on specifically?

[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Head over to #lgrevolution and I'll be there as IOMonster.

Yep, for ICS we need a lot of work in the KGSL department in kernel for getting proper Adreno support working... Tiamat is working on adding the new KGSL/USB/Genlock support to his MSM7X30 repo here ( http://git.tiamat-dev.com/7x30/htc-kernel-msm7x30/ ) and after that we need to merge our kernel sources with his (boardfiles, includes, configs, etc)

Booting to lockscreen is great, but there's a LOT of work to be done before we can have a "working" ICS by any stretch of the imagination... ICS is a whole new beast, unfortunately...

Thanks a lot for everyone working on this. Those of us that aren't as gifted really aprreciate the work you guys are putting in.
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
If you've noticed my post in the CM7 Thread, which somehow 'feels' like it's sparked something off here (maybe just timing, lol), I am beginning to work on this stuff.

Anyone can do it, but the problem is motivation and the willingness to learn something new. You will never learn this stuff unless you're willing to fail and fail again. You learn by mistakes and mistakes sometimes turn into innovation for new things and ideas. :)

There is a lot of Dev's all of a sudden and I do agree, it's great to see. I was almost about to start looking at the Nexus. When I realized I would lose out on the $130 of extra accessories for my Revo (Car Dock, home dock, extra battery, car charge, etc.), And the fact the the Nexus had no External SD Card, I was like... Nah.. Time to step up and see what I can do to make the Revo a well-supported, up to date, kick-ass device. If LG and Verizon wanna sit on their asses, let'em. We make the phone better anyhow, right? MT, Cubed, and anyone else who has already contributed so much, has made this phone 10X's what it ever was out of the box. And, unlike LG and Verizon, Dev's like MT (and others) don't give us the run around on the next release, but a timeline. :D

-Cybie
[LG Revolution] Grizzy3:
Exactly how i feel. Forget LG and Verizon. You guys are the ones taking these average phones into something great. I definitely gave up on getting any real support from either of them.

I really want to start getting into this. I have a little bit of time on my hands and will definitely be reading up on all this. I think you sparked something with your post lol. I know other people like MT and theCubed were already working on some things but I think you definitely added a little spark lol. Very happy to see other people jumping on board to help out. Hopefully I can too
[LG Revolution] aichrist:
Yup! The motivation for me has been that support by LG and VZ is diminishing. This is the beauty of open source, though. Now the community can support it.

I believe the Revolution really is a good phone. It's got a good GPU and CPU. It's not dual-core, no, but with a good ROM on there, it can be much more efficient than a dual-core phone that is loaded with crapware.

Cybie did inspire me to put my work up sooner so that we can all focus on it and not duplicate our efforts as much.
