[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lightfire:
I know there are no guarantees in life, but in your best estimate, do you think they will be locked in any way (check to see if it is on AT&T network or some other silly stuff) and that I should be able to use them? Is there a post of the current factory rom anywhere?

I ask all this because I like the Vivid, but I only have 3 days to return it if I am going to.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
99.99% sure we will have an RUU available when there is an update. this means it is not dependent on the network updates, but you can install the update from your computer.

100% sure you will see roms on here of the updates....

i wouldnt worry about 'updates' when you are on XDA
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lightfire:
Glad to hear this. Thought I was going to have to downgrade to a samsung unlocked.http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
If your rooted, regardless of carrier, you don't need to worry about updates. The updates will be provided by the devs. Whether it be an RUU or incorporated into their ROM update.

Edit: Sorry, I should've provided this info earlier. Major brain-muffin. Lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lightfire:
I will probably root soon, but I am waiting for a bit of maturity on the customs roms.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
Yeah, that'll take some time. The ROMs that ya'll do have, are currently being worked through for bugs and the like. Seeing as how some were already there for the Raider as it was the first to be unlocked. With the Vivid now unlocked, those ROMs that were for the Raider are being updated to allow them to be flashed on the Vivid. In the next few months we should see some more ROMs get produced as more devs come to the Vivid.
[Acer Iconia A500] julz:
Has anyone else noticed that the front facing camera is poorly aligned for video chat when the device is held in landscape mode? It's somewhat better in portrait mode but still not ideal.

Has anyone tried correcting this?
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
As a matter of fact, I noticed it today. I can't see as there's any way to correct it besides the "hammer and chisel" method ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I to hate this

there should be some type of software adjustment as there is on my Hp Notebook

If the cam was centered at the top your fingers would be on top the cam in portrait mode. Paltalk chat required you to use the tablet that way ..with the cam as it it is works kinda Ok..

i so wish laptop and tablets would have a way to adjust the cam.. There was a Toshiba notebook with a cam that would flip to show the other direction . maybe a software mod could be created.. I know its possibly because it has digital zoom .there is prob a file in the driver folder with alignment settings..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nishith611:
Hi folks,

I have a HTC Mytouch 4g that I cannot get connected to my PC. It charges through the USB cable but I cannot get the computer to recognize it. I have tried to install the HTC Drivers but they get partially into the install and it just stops and the install wizard disappears. I have run the driver install as an administrator too. I even tried installing PDaNet but failed because it would not install without recognizing the phone. I got HTC Sync to install but it does not recognize the device. Looking for some help. Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
My mytouch connects to any pc without a problem or drivers installed. From phone settings go to connect to pc. Choose a default USB connection or have the device ask you every time its connected.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glacierguy:
I may be mistaking... but I'm pretty sure if you go into settings>applications>development> and check the USB Debugging box. Once you do that, you should have the option to "Mount as disk drive." I believe that's what I had to do to get ALL of the drivers successfully installed.

Hope this helps.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You always have the option to mount as disk drive. These are 2 separate USB functions - one is ADB debugger over USB, the other is the regular phone functionality. HTC drivers should be installed regardless of those selections. You don't need to enable USB debugging for that.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glacierguy:
I remember having an issue with the drivers installation when I first rooted my phone. 3/4 drivers showed up as installed, but not one that had to go through windows update or something like that... it was a while ago. You're right... it didn't have anything to do with disk drive... If I remember correctly, all drivers didn't install correctly because USB debugging wasn't turned on.

Sorry about that.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odintheterrible:
This works ...

Hi,

Had many headaches myself with the latest offering of HTC Sync as the USB driver just wouldn't install ... however, this worked for me so it may be worth you trying:

A. Run HTC Sync setup until you reach the error regarding the drivers - DO NOT CLICK YES OR NO - leave it open (closing allows it to remove its temporary file... and we need them!)

B. Click Start - Run - %temp%\

C. Locate a folder that looks a bit like this: {0C8CBEC2-7B62-4ABC-9CB3-8CCAC7CD3D62}.The name will be different, but it will have the layout using A-F and 9-0, within that folder will be another similarly named folder, To make locating this folder easier, select view>details and sort the contents by date, the folder will have today’s date. In this folder locate the file named HTCDriver_4.0.0.009_20121107.exe; copy this file out to your desktop.

D. Close the HTC sync installer that you left open earlier, now run this HTCDRIVER file you just moved from you temp folder.

E.This installation will also come up with an error - AGAIN DO NOT CLOSE the window.

F.Click Start - Run - %temp%

G.Locate a similarly named folder in your %temp% folder, (you do not need to go into a subfolder as there is not one), there will be a file named HTCDriver.msi, copy this out and close the other installer.

H. You can now run HTCDriver.msi and the driver will install

I.Once this has installed, run the original HTC Sync or Sync Manager installation file. This will now run uninterrupted as the drivers are already installed and it will skip this stage.​

I hope your issue is solved.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxkamen:
...wow.

That's one way to get around installer incompatibilities, I guess. Are all the people who are affected running Windows 8? I was having similar problems, and I can't remember how I eventually got around it (UND? Didn't care about HTC sync in the first place?)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEindian:
Yeah, actually an easy fix, you just copy and paste the files from windows 7 into the windows 8 program files and it should work
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hkgrob:
Cant post yet in the Dev section, so this will have to do.

It seems there is still an issue with Abyss 3 and forcing launcher into memory.

Changelog of Abyss 3 says its OK, however, same as previous. First reboot OK, subsequent reboot and all you get is bootloops :mad:

Seems there is still an issue? Can someone post in the dev section of Abyss and Checkrom so people avoid until resolved....

Unless someone else has a different experience...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aatjitra:
I have no problem with this kernel... no boot loops....

Have you tried to clear the cache and dalvik ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hkgrob:
@aatjitra

Are you running Checkrom? and tried the force launcher into memory Mod.

No problem with the kernel per se, only with the mod and the kernel together.

as above, changelog on the Kernel for V3 says its compatible with force launcher into memory, but it results in a bootloop when applied.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coatercup:
Same for me here. Was in pre 3.0 Abyss, turned on checkrom force launcher ok. But when i flash final 3.0 Abyss, goes into boot loop. How can I undo force launcher now?

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

Ok, for those who turned on force launcher and boot loops after flashing with Abyss, i found a solution. Go into recovery and flash the forcelauncher.zip which should have been downloaded earlier. It should be in internal sd\download\checkrom_revo. Whew, thought i had to reflash checkrom 3 wipe!

Is this the right mod for my SGH-T959? HERE

If so I had trouble installing it. I'm not sure what method works. The only method that worked so far is here [[Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011]] But its not the Rom I wanted.. I want to install the latest cyanogenmod
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Nope. If it's a t959 you have a vibrant. Go to the proper forums for your phone. Look under your battery for the model number.

if it's a t959v then yes you're in the right forums.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
So you thought a "back to stock" would give you cm huh?

This is definitely something you should know before you try flashing anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Dark9:
Oh yea its SGH-T959V. Sorry forgot the "v" but yea I used the 'back to stock' cause my phone messed up and wouldn't even go to recovery only Download mode. But, that is all fixed lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Ok cool. I guess I way misunderstood your OP. I'm too tired for this tonight.No cm for our device yet
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Yeah sorry man but e don't have cm yet. Some if the way more experienced devs are working on it.

It might be a while.

Try valhalla black in the mean time, it's pretty good. (flash regular valhalla, then valhalla black to avoid app problems, just a quick tip)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Dark9:
Is there a Rom that has a really good performance for it like good speed and not a lot of lags. I want a phone that wont skip or lag when I'm playing offline games or just browsing the phone ya know?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
See my post above. It's pretty much the best we got for the moment... Imo.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Dark9:
Yeah I thought there would be a better rom lol

EDIT: Can you tell me where to find both of them? and the best way to install it cause for some reason I cant get CwM to work on my phone and I could try using adb with cmd but I don't want to risk messing up my phone again :X

RE EDIT: Umm... I installed [ROM] ACID presents ICBINB and for some reason its been at the green android dude for couple of mins now and its not going anywhere he's just popping up and better then disappear then it does it again over and over again. oh, and it vibrates every so often.

Here's a video to help ya get up and rooted:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1323763
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Use sfhubs one touch root (look in the devs section). This will get you up and rooted, then choose option c to install a custom recovery. As far as a ROM solution, I am going to have to respectfully disagree with the previous post. Calk's e4gt ROM, ver 2.8.1. Seems to be the most stable and popular ROM around here. That is where I would start.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Freeroot:
I second that. I prefer calk's with the desperado kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
I will have to respectfully disagree with the last two posts. This isn't a popularity contest, it's about the most reliable rom. Have either of you tried strongsteves? I'm running calks latest on my 2nd E4GT. Odex plainly runs smoother without any tweaks. The battery life is far better as well. Don't take what I'm saying the wrong way. I like calks and always have. That being said, strongsteve is just all around a better rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killhr:
But strongsteves is just calks stock rom themed lol just my 2 cents but i do like odexed better too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jesmer:
Definetely get blazer rom, its just awesome
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:
+1 on Blazer.

3.8 should be out today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] glass330:
Everyone will have a different opinion on roms etc, so I'll try to just state facts.

Calk's rom is very nice. In fact a lot of roms are created using his as a base. That speaks for itself. He's also very responsive, concise, and very well respected.

The same can be said about PhantomHacker's roms. He has his own Starburst rom - very oem'ish, one of the first custom roms out (but I think Unnamed has taken the lead in this category) and also the Blazer series roms (based off of Calks rom too)

Again, he's very responsive, well respected, and writes well.

That being said, there are many other Super custom roms, with crazy fonts, icons, etc. Too crazy for myself.

StrongSteve's rom should be solid too.

Bottom line, make a backup of something solid, and try out anything you find appealing. Check out the screenshots in the OP for many of them. Don't be scared. Ask Questions- but read the threads first. If you just don't like one, go back to the backup I was talking about.

Welcome buddy!!!! Have fun and be nice to everyone. (not that you weren't)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pawmbi1:
I've tried a few different ROMS but Blazer has been solid for me and my use..and I understand with the newest update the battery is suppose to be better but you should try them out and see what works for you and your use of the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Eonn:
This. I started with Blazer first and liked it so much. Why change something that isn't broken? I've been with Blazer since.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
How did you try installing it? Install it through rom manager. It is the easiest way. What method did you use to root?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iamsavedme30:
I used the Odin

I tried installing through rom manager and it is not cwm recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
What do you mean it is not cwm recovery? Then what is it?

Listen, get the autoroot kit, follow instructions and choose option c and then option e. You should now have ek02 rom/kernel with cwm. Then reboot into cwm recovery by holding the volume up button and the power button at the same time. From there, flash whatever rom you want.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iamsavedme30:
I'm on EL29 and it didn't work, my phone never connected with the auto root, I tried it several times. The only option for EL29 is L or M and I tried L with the latest auto root and it said it would connect, so I tried the other and that at least got me to the other screen, but it never connected
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
If you don't listen, it won't work. CHOOSE THE OPTIONS I TOLD YOU TO CHOOSE!!! SMH

[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Dark Cricket:
This is the last full SBF official for the Droid 2 Global. This will put you back to the last stock OTA without having to do any other updates later. Flash with RSD Lite.

As with any such file posted on a forum site, use at your own risk, but I know that is the official VZW SBF file

Step 1: Boot into the bootloader, you do this by powering on and holding power on + volume up + volume down. You should see a black screen with text that says battery: OK

Step 2: Plug is your usb cord into the computer you loaded the rsdlite file on

Step 3: Click on your rsdlite program. You need to run as an administrator, to do that hold shift key and right click on the rsdlite program (do that as you are about to open the program).

Step 4: Next to the file name text box in the rsdlite program are three little dots. Click on those dots and find the file Click on that file and then click start. Make sure you have a strong battery before flashing this is the one time you need to ensure your battery is ok to get through the process, because the program erases everything and re-flashes your phone.

Step 5: Wait for it to get to 100% and reboot your phone to the motorola "M" symbol first then unplug your device. While at the M take off the battery cover out and remove your battery. Wait for about 3 seconds and then reinstall your battery. Power on and hold the physical X key until you get to the triangle and !.

Step 6: on your physical keyboard push the search button to get into the recovery mode. From there you are going to wipe data/factory reset. AFter that is complete click reboot.

Hello,

I recently acquired a D2G. It was running the OTA stock Gingerbread and was rooted when given to me.

I was foolish and deleted the My Accounts app as I thought it was a Verizon My Account only app.

I did not back up the system apps with Titanium...again foolish move.

Had some issues and used the factory reset. However, that obviously cannot restore system apps I deleted.

Is there any pre- steps needed to push this to the phone? Or can I simply run it in via RDSLite and then start from scratch?

Thanks
