Hello.

I tried to get and run this rom on my sd card by running clrcad.exe then running haret.

>http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1437463

First time run ok. But after setting up, 3g not working, youtube not working, and camera not working.

I tried replacing initrd.gz with initrd but it says it could not start initrid. Please someone provide steps on how to do this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
I would suggest formatting your sdcard (after backing everything up of course) and then copying the rom to your sdcard. Try replacing the the initrid from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21233302&postcount=18 prior to starting the first boot.

Also what kind of sdcard are you using (what class and all)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] CrazyorInZane:
Format SD Card

Thanks for the fast reply!

I have a 16gb class 10 sd card. I know it is not the sd card because before I found this rom I had the 2.3.4 gingerbread sd card rom and it ran fine. I don't know how to replace the initrd. Can you give me steps? Like do I extract it once downloaded or change the name so it is the same as the original initrd?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] CrazyorInZane:
Fixed!

I fixed it! It let me replace the initrd.gz this time and everything works!Your magic. Thanks alot man for your time.

Requirements: Every device with armv7 processor and froyo or higher

Overview: This is the twlauncher 4.5, actually the tw4 launcher from Samsung heavily modified by Fr4gg0r and Swiftwork.

Installation of Applications

First of all, your phone DO NOT have to be ROOTED! You will be able to install it without having rooted your phone, but you will miss some options.

Secondly, It is recommended to have another launcher installed (and defrozed)... this for avoiding a loop reboot and to be able to work, remove,... with applications.

Here are two choices :

1. simple put the .apk of the launcher in any folder of the phone and double-clic on it

2. follow this upper procedure :

if you do not have the TW4.5 installed (and have a Rooted Samsung phone or have touchwizz installed):

go in "system/app"

find "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk" and rename it to "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk.OLD"

find "TouchWiz30Launcher.odex" and rename it to "TouchWiz30Launcher.odex.OLD"

find "TWLauncher.apk" and rename it to "TWLauncher.apk.OLD"

find "TWLauncher.odex" and rename it to "TWLauncher.odex.OLD"

find any other file with "TW" and "Launcher" in the name and rename them with .OLD at the end

if you do not find this files (other phone or touchwizz not installed), don't be afraid... just skip this steps ![*]if you already have a version of TW4.5 installed :

go in "system/app"

find "TW4Launcher.apk" and rename it "TW4Launcher.apk.OLD" or simply delete it

copy the latest version of launcher you have downloaded in this folder, reboot it.

if you want to make a really clean new installation of your launcher, you also can rename "data/data/samsung.tw4.nextgen" folder in (for example) "samsung.tw4.nextgen.OLD", do the same for "sdcard/.TW4Themes" folder to "sdcard/.TW4Themes_OLD" (or delete it) and relaunch the launcher.

The new folder, with default settings, will be created.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] O_G:
I used this for a while, the 5x5 dock icons can be added from within the app drawer. Unfortunately this needs to be modified for our notes, it does not include any of the note widgets and the extra downloadable ones, do not work.

I also had many FC, which is a shame as it adds a lot of features missing from TW.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jebise101:
I just upgraded from an SGS to SGSII. The one big thing i hated about the SGS was the lockscreen, I like to have it locked with a PIN/Pass/Pattern which works but you loose the ability to read text message or view phone calls or even change tracks.

I know i can get Widget locker but its just not as effective like the native lockscreen without a password. Is there anyway to the phone lock with password and still have the ability to do simple things like read text etc without unlocking?

I know Sense has a very nice lockscreen that let you configure it so it can do much more like open camera etc.

This forums need more people with that same attitude. I started learning and working on mods this last month and I've been trough a lot of work just to understand the basics of compiling/decompiling and other simple mods. I'ts has taken some effort and a lot of dedication just for that, imagine the guys behind making ROMs and developing kernels. These guys obviously don't get rewarded enough and even though they like what they do they work like slaves. What I would like to emphasize is that we should be more respectful and tolerant with their jobs which isn't easy ; )

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JussieXo:
Just a quick question, My HTC Flyer appears to be stuck in QDL mode. I know there is no way to shut it off or reboot once this happens, and I really don't want to crack it open as I'm a bit of a liability when it coems to things like this.

My question is, when the battery has run right down, will it then enable me to turn it on and boot it again? Hope this is in the right place, I'm new. Shoot me if not.

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
It should. The flyer usually comes out of QDL mode on a FULL powerdown. Let the battery run out and leave if for an hour or two then try charging it for 30 minutes or so and poweron.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JussieXo:
Thank you. I let it run right down and it did power up but then it went into a continuous boot loop and eventually shut down. Now it just has a red/orange light flashing continuously when plugged in? Does this mean charging? Going to let it charge fully and try turning it on again.
[Acer Iconia A500] InGeNeTiCs:
A woman I work with brought in her sons A500 for me to look at today and it's just bootlooping at the 'android' logo. Normally I would boot into the bootloader and use fastboot to push the factory images back. Apparently that can't be done with the A500.

So I did the next best thing. I downloaded a 340ish mb factory image and tried restoring it using the factory recovery but it gets a third of the way through then fails. I don't have any real info on the tab other than it's a wifi only A500.

So my question is this: is there a way to get into fastboot mode? And if not, is there an odin-type program or download mode that I can flash these files from my computer? The device doesn't seem to want to cooperate right now...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Well, this is going to depend on what junior did to it ;)

For starters, you can check and see if he rooted it, and flash CWM recovery

With tab off, Hold VOL- then PWR for a few seconds. See if you see text in the upper left corner then release buttons. If it boots into a menu system, then Juniors been messing around.

If you get the menu, post back and we'll give you some things to do. If not...

Second recovery is the stock acer recovery;

Tab off. Hold Vol- then PWR.

Now this recovery will usually look for a file called update.zip on the SD, or a stock Acer image.

If you hang on a few minutes, I'll post a link to TimmyDeans recovery that should get you going.

[Acer Iconia A500] InGeNeTiCs:
Unfortunately, the very first step requires that I turn on usb debugging, and this particular iconia won't boot. I was able to find a factory image that the factory recovery would accept. It went through the whole process of restoring, and now I have "boot verified failed ..." at the acer screen.

I'm still able to get into recovery, but reflashing yields the same result.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Which recovery"

CWM or Acer recovery? (vol+ or Vol-)
[Acer Iconia A500] InGeNeTiCs:
FACTORY recovery. From acer. If it were cwm I would have specified.

[Acer Iconia A500] ktmdave7:
If USA then you Need a GEN2 at the end of your Download for STOCK ACER ROM.

I would recomend:

1. Downloading a HC v3.1 Gen2 verson stock (not 3.2, or 3.2.1)

2. Rename the File to "Update.zip", place it on SDCARD.

3. boot up into your stock acer Recovery, let it install.

-play with tab for while (don't use OTA Update -cus 3.2+ has problems, more restrictions)

-on HCv3.1 will be easier to ROOT and go to custom ROM or later you can update thru OTA to v3.2.1 (not recomended)

at least you will be able to get Tab working and have more options with Easy Root methods.

Got any mods installed?
[Xperia Arc General] joecool1029:
If AND ONLY IF, it's full stock. Check the build number, if .42 there is a known reboot issue affecting only a few models and random phones. I got a Neo V just recently and needed to upgrade it to .62. SE claims they fixed some memory management issue that could cause instability. It seemed to work in my case. (for the record I did unlock bootloader later on but I run a full stock rom on that phone with stock kernel, this will be required if you want to root the phone as the kernel has been patched to block the zergrush exploit)

EDIT: If you are using a custom rom, these phones don't appear to like undervolting, I wouldn't waste your time *at all* with it. Very little battery savings for huge instability increase. Additionally, depending on the phone, if you overclock, some individual units do not like certain frequencies... my Arc doesn't appear to like 1.4ghz but runs just fine on 1.6ghz without reboots.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1Speed:
This post was originally in a phone specific forum but I feel that it needs more exposure since it is a pretty significant issue for android. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=774990

Basically it comes down to not being able to be part of a group MMS if you are not the sender.

iOS attaches all users in a group message to the header of an MMS message, and when this message is received on an android device the receiver can only see the sender, not the other people in the conversation. So, when the android user tries to reply to this message it only gets sent to the originator of the group message instead of all of the users in the group.

Currently, there is an application that handles this functionality and it is the Verzion Messages application. However, this application is out-dated and is missing other messaging features.

AT&T also has an application that addresses this issue, however, not many people have had success with it. At least for me, using my Galaxy Nexus on AT&T (4.0.2), the application opens and only shows a blank screen.

Can we get a developer to modify a current texting application, or create a new one that handles group MMS that recognizes all users of the group and will send a reply to everyone, not just the originator?

NOTE: Some other 3rd party texting applications allow group texting, but will only work if you are the originator.

How many other people have run into this issue?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antb7:
I have run into the exact same issue. I have spent hours researching various workarounds, but a lot of people, forum topics, and companies think this issue isn't an issue at all. Handcent, Chomp, and Go SMS all say they have "group" messaging, but what they describe is more like a batch send out, not a threaded sms like the iphone and even now Verizon phones through the Verizon Messages Application.

I know there is an open ticket with google that is mentioned in the forum you linked to. I'm a new user so I can't link to it, but it is mentioned and linked to in post #92 on that forum you linked.

Hopefully someone or one of the bigger companies will get a handle on this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whubbard:
I also would like to see this addressed. With many friends/family with iPhones it is crippling my texting abilities when I get so many group sms chats. Basically from an OS perspective it is making users of Android phones appear inferior to iPhone users.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoink21:
I was looking into this today after becoming annoyed that i couldn't join a group mms thread w/ some iOS friends. It seems Verizon's VZMessages app works with the threaded group mms's. I did some tests w/ both iphone and android friends and it seems to work the same as for iphones. Since it's a vzw app, i have no idea what usability is for other carriers, and i've had some issues on my rooted dinc (display artifacts). Also, the design is terrible and looks like their target user is about 5 years old w/ all the bright primary colors and bubbly icons.

try it out and let me know how it works for you guys.

since i'm a new user, i can't post the market link to it, but you can find it in the google play app market.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeejan:
same issue

we had a text clan, or a group of people in a texting community, kinda popular here in the philippines. i've been looking for an app like those but nothing suits what we need. i tried groupme, but it crashes and needed to be online, also a force close issue in handcent which claims to have this feature. we used to do a traditional GMs or Group Messages in a send to many or batch mode only to send all GMs (equivalent to tweets in online world) to all our members. but as an android user i want to take advantage of it. here's the thing to address:

1. an app for sms/mms like gosms or equivalent.

2. this app can have a unified inbox. something like ChatOn or Socialhub of samsung but still integrated offline sms/text to local contacts.

2. options to offline only or if online.

3. group local/offline chat (threaded style, not just a batch send

4. whenever someone replied that is included in the group, it is in the same thread. or for short, sms with 2 or more person in a single thread locally.

5. even non android or typical mobile phone can receive it as a text message. so even nokia 5110 user can reply, ofcourse he will only receive what is sent to him. not always the entire thread content.

got my point?

by the way, sorry for my english. :)

Hi everyone,

I have been lurking the better battery stats thread to see what was killing battery life of my verizon nexus and trouble shot what everyone recommended.

uninstalled facebook, google+, turned off gps/location, signed off google talk/voice etc i didnt even know i was signed into.

ran this last night for a total of 8 hours fully charged and still noticed a 20% drop from 100-80 same as BEFORE!

I observed alarm manager and lightflow were killing my battery. I can uninstall lightflow, but what is alarm manager? I don't have my alarm clock turned on.

Attached is the text log if anyone can help. It will be greatly appreciated =(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Colemak:
According to your log only 0.3% was drained due to your alarm, and that seemed to be the largest drain in terms of partial wakelocks...which compared to my 10% for RILJ AND 8% FOR AudioOut_1 on 4.0.3 looks like you should be doing excellent in terms of battery life as long as your screen was off.

Could you send a screenshot of your battery screen and battery history screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotshotz:
I didn't save it sorry but when I observed it. I noticed there were 3 times during the night there was awake activity so something woke up my cdma nexus. I am thinking it is probably my Google backup services and sync.

I have been reading other users only getting 1% drain every 2 hours and I don't think its possible unless they are on probably the GSM version.

I'm quite disappointed in the idle drain so far since I'm experiencing about 2% every hour.
