[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
Do you have CWM, or stock 2e/3e recovery? If you have stock recovery, which I'm guessing you do because you referenced "reinstall packages," I suspect you are screwed.

If you have CWM, you might be able to do it. These menu choices are from CWM 5 from the Glitch kernel, so your options might be a little different depending on what you are using. On mine, under "Install Zip from SD Card," there's "Choose Zip from Internal SD" which for me is really my external SD. You should be able to flash your zip from here.

If you borked it up flashing a lagfix, I think you're going to have issues with anything you flash at this point. If you have an option in CWM to disable lagfix, you should try this first before you flash anything else. If you can't get anything else to work, you should be able to flash CM7 because it will repartition for you and fix what lagfix messed up, but you may not be able to get back to anything else afterward.

If you actually manage to get it up and running again, LEAVE IT ALONE! If you keep flashing, you're eventually going to end up in a situation that's not recoverable from recovery and you'll have a paperweight (if you're not there already).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Em_Tech:
In cwm recovery which I used is 2e , There are 4 options;

- reboot system

- reinstall packages

- wipe user data

- wiper cache data

as you can gues, I tried all options :) also added a firmware to extarnal sd and hit the reinstall packages, but it just reinstall lagfix which is in internal sd and it started to loop.

I think second option is to be applied anymore. I need to have repaired my captivate's usb port:confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
How do you know something is wrong with the USB? Have you tried going into download mode?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Em_Tech:
Yes I got into download mode. There is no problem about that. But Pc dont recognize my phone. so it become useless.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
So download mode with the picture of the Android guy digging? You seemed confused because your title mentions download mode but you only mention recovery in your post.

Open up heimdall or Odin, it should recognize your phone

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
I should have asked before, but have you gone through this entire thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1351224 The third section about connection issues would be most relevant to your situation.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Em_Tech:
It is exactly going into download mode. The problem is after getting into download mode it never recognizes with pc and hence with odin. So I gave up trying with odin and looking for alternative ways such as using recovery mode or anything else that I dont know and may be some professional knows.

Tu sum up, I cant have a connection between pc and Captivate because its usb port is not working properly(suddenly gone).

Captivate just can be open in download mode and in recovery mode. But because of usb port is not working I cant flash it. Recovery mode dont recognize external sd so I cant flash it again.

Note: Connection problem is npt a driver or cable issue. I am almost sure about this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
I understand your issue, the third section of the link I sent you was a list of ways to troubleshoot a non-working USB connection. I just figured I would check since these forums are littered with people who swear that they can't connect to their computer until someone tells them to try a new cable or USB port and it magically starts working. If you have already tried all of those steps, you are leaps and bounds ahead of most who come on here looking for help with this problem.

I asked because there is nothing that you can do at this point without a working USB port. You are only going to be able to flash whatever is named update.zip from your internal SD, which as you already know isn't going to help you at all. ClockworkMod Recovery would let you do what you need to do, but you're not going to be able to get it on there without either a working USB connection or being able to boot up normally.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
So I have had the stock(EG30) then stock + OTA(EK02). Then tried EK02 fresh full. On both of those roms, with nothing more than root, I had great battery life, could easily hit 16+ hours with 2-3 screen on time.

ELxx doesn't matter if it is stock or some ones rom with scripts. Doesn't matter if it is flashed through recovery, or ODIN and whether a full or partial wipe is performed. I am lucky if I get 10 hours with 40-60min screen on time....... what gives??

I am not alone in this as I see a ton of people saying that they get crappy battery life as well, and others that are scoring more bat life.

So far I have tried 4 different roms from the ELxx series with a battery calibration each time and nothing changes. So I went back to EG30 OTA'd to EK and did a battery cal and now I am back in the 18hour range with 3H 44m screen on time????

What is so frign horrible in the EL series that is causing me and others to get such crappy batt life? I am floored on how every EL rom out there says excellent or super or really long battery life when I loose 8+ hours and 2 hours of screen on time....

Don't take this as a complaint, I am simply bringing to light that something in the stock EL series of roms are really taking a toll on battery like.

Also I am not mentioning my setup due to it being irrelevant because I have the phone setup the exact same on each and every rom. Since my setup is the same and differs from yours I am simply comparing my own results and not to other people, for the most part. I am showing that loose battery time in the EL series of roms and feel that if the EL is released from Sprint and I OTA the thing I could be in big trouble. So I want to see how many others are having bad battery life on EL as compared to EG/EK.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dammit2Hell:
I always turn my phone off at night while it charges. I turned it on yesterday morning and after it booted while the media scanner was running it started playing some odd musical ringtone. It did it again this morning. I rebooted and it did it again. It will only stop playing if I tap the top of the screen or pull down the drop down menu. Odd thing is, the tone it plays is not a tone on my device. At least not one I can find. I've not installed any new apps in the past few days so I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing this. Has anyone else seen this before?

*Edit Forgot to mention that I am stock and rooted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] capcanuck:
Wierd right? Mine does the same thing, but completely randomly.. ive tried to figure it out but had no luck.. must be some kinda glitch
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dammit2Hell:
Mine only does it when I reboot. I think the weirdest thing is I can't find the tune it's playing anywhere.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dammit2Hell:
Ok, Don't know how I missed it the first two times but the tone it's playing is "Over the horizon" it's in my list of ringtones. Now to figure out why it's playing.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
The only time it will do that is if you have unread messages or missed calls.

I hate it.. but I love the stock ROM.. since I'm rooted, I simply changed the file to something less annoying and replaced the S_Over_the_horizon.ogg file by naming my chosen ringtone/sound the same file name. it's located at /system/media/audio
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dammit2Hell:
Wow. Thanks for the update. At least not I know my phone isn't possessed.

An easy fix would be to record a quick .1 second wave file containing no sound. Convert it to ogg , rename it, and its gone for good :-)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giga502:
After a bit of internet browsing I discovered that it it possible to connect a nintendo Wii mote to Android devices. Which allows for easy gameplay.

After a few minutes of app installing I discovered that the entire Samsung Galaxy series is unable to use this app for whatever reason. Apparently due to the 'Sense UI' or so this article tells me;

http://android.ccpcreations.com/wiicontroller

But in the article it mentions the only way I could connect my Wii mote to my phone is by "rooting/flashing a compatible custom firmware".

So my question is, does anyone know of a ROM upon which such things are compatible? Thanks guys!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
The page actually says for Samsung devices, it's NOT because of Sense (since Sense is an HTC skin for Android)... But that's neither here nor there.

The reason it doesn't work for WiiMote is because of how Samsung utilizes the bluetooth stack. You have to flash an AOSP ROM (like CM7 or MIUI) to get WiiMote to work. The downside of this, is that as far as I know, these ROMs don't currently support TV-Out via MHL. So you can't hook it up to your TV if you wanted to whilst using the controller.

HOWEVER - the SixAxis controller app, which connects to a ps3 controller (but ONLY an

original

Sony ps3 controller) DOES work with the stock ROM on the Galaxy S2. I have it, and it works. With this setup, I can use a controller with my emulators and hook the phone up to my TV to play games if I wanted to.

A lot o questions i already found on this forum but i have still 2 i can't find. I don't know much about phone's so i hope my questions are not stupid :P

I have a htc desire with original android 2.2.2 with warrenty, so i DON'T want to root my phone. (or a possebility to update my phone without root or losing apps?)

at first:

Is there a new theme for my phone like android 3 or 4?

I want to control my phone from my pc (to use whatsapp also on my pc), i found a lots of programs but they are all for ROOTED phones.

You can use an ICS Launcher.

https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwxLDEsIm1vYmkuU3luZGljYXRlQXBwcy5JQ1N2MiJd

Rooting is not risky or anything, just plug you phone in your pc and use unrevoked. Finished in a minute or so and then it's rooted.. But if you don't feel good about it, don't ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harvik:
thanks, i downloaded the unrevoked program, before i root is there a posibitety to backup my phone rom? And if i root, do i loss my warrenty?

and he program said, make shure you DONT have installed htc sync, do the mean on my pc or phone? and can i use it after it is rooted again?

thanks

btw can i also flash my rom with this program?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Read guides before you do anything, they are all over the forums just search.

Also before you do anything write down your software/radio version so you can download appropriate RUU in case you need go back to factory default ROM.

You'll also need to know how to partition SD card. (most ROMs requires it)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harvik:
i installed the theme app but now i cant put my old htc sense widgets on my desktop. is there a posibillety to have my old sense widgets? (i looked onb the market but the fake ones aren't so nice as the original)

Not the exact same ones, no.

There are some replicas on the market, especially for the 4x2 clock/weather there is a great replica that looks exactly like the real thing.

I haven't seen anything posted about this so I figured I'd post the list of apps that I have renamed or removed in CM7. Some are apps that the tablet won't ever use and some are apps that I personally won't be using. I'm sure there are more but these are the ones I've done so far. Please note: When you rename phone.apk you will get a message saying that phone has stopped working and it will not stop popping up, just hold down your power button to reboot and it won't come up again.

ADW Launcher.apk (if you're using a different launcher)

Androidian.apk

AdroidTerm.apk

Bluetooth.apk

Browser.apk (if you're using a different browser)

Camera.apk

CarHomeGoogle.apk

Cyanbread.apk

CMStats.apk

CMUpdate.apk

CMWallpapers.apk ((if you're using a different wallpaper)

Contacts.apk

DeskClock.apk

Development.apk

DownloadPrividerUi.apk

DSPManager.apk

Email.apk

FileManager.apk

FOTAKill.apk

GenieWidget.apk (news and weather widget)

GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk

HTMLViewer.apk

LatinIME.apk (if you're using a different keyboard)

LiveWallpapers.apk (if you're using a different live wallpaper)

MagicSmoke.apk

Mms.apk

Music.apk (if you're using a different music app)

DO NOT RENAME: ContactsProvider, GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter or GoogleContactsSyncAdapter you will end up with framework and/or GApps errors.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] galland1:
I have often wondered why alot of these were left in the ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jwilliamf:
I always delete lots of those apk even before I flash the update.zip

you can add:

Protips.apk

packman.apk (maybe)

RomManager.apk
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aahz Pervect:
I've been wondering about this as well and have been both mucking around with the ROM zips as well as simply deleting things with Root Explorer as it's just plain silly for Phone to exist on the Kindle Fire.

Just to pick your brain a bit: Are you simply editing the zip contents (seems safest) or are you actually extracting everything and then re-compressing it once you've removed the fluff?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
You *can* keep SoundRecorder if you want to - and it makes sense ot include it in the ROM. True, the Kindle Fire doesn't have a built-in mic, but I have one of these mics and it works great. It just doesn't use the speakers if this mic is plugged in, since it's detected as a headset + mic.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] hdmunger:
Just curious, regarding Contacts.apk and Phone.apk...are the two interdependant or will Contacts work without Phone.

Seems to me that using Contacts synced to your G-Mail account would provide the e-mail addresses of your contacts (just ignore the phone numbers) for any e-mailing you might want to do from your Fire...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
I just delete or rename them in the system/app folder using root explorer.

Your contacts should show up in your gmail automatically, at least they do for me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DesDr0id:
As I recall from previous posts, renaming such apks like phone and telephony will cause FC's in the settings menu and possibly other areas.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] datacron:
This was addressed already:

Edit: Just reread your post and realized my response isn't addressing the issue... I would erase this post if I could.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
The only temporary issue is when renaming phone it, causes it to force close, once you reboot it doesn't happen again. I've had them all renamed for a day or so and I've been through a lot of the settings and have not had an issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
Why rename when you simply evict? make up some extra space for yourself...

do it with adb... root explorer titanium, your fingers, out of /system/app/* and then their corpse cousins over in /data/data/* This is where I learned... http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones.

Telephony, bluetooth, latinime, latinimetutorial mms phone street torch music dsp sound recorder talkback. com.amazon.mp3 was a hated app of mine since time immemmorial!

My routine when flashing CM nightlys on other phones is rather than take the time to clean up the rom for myself, i would just flash the full rom along with the gapps and then the titanium zip as a system file so its there when I get into android... then use the titty with a pre-determined list and just rip a lot of stuff almost 30-80MB and that gave me a LOT of breathing room on the G1/Dream.

When Titanium got down to the last app =Wifi Calling App the phone would go nuts.. and I always had to hit the reboot at the specific time to get it to reboot (if I missed that time, then I had to do batt-pull) get into recovery do wipe cache and dalvik, then reboot recovery then fix permissions and boot back.. and all was well.

the point is when you take out the music and telephony, especially DSP Manager, anything that uses audio is tied to other parts of the framework -- but its always fixable with a reboot and fix permissions.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
I always rename them and leave them for a few days before deleting them just to be sure things still play nicely.

Browser (I use silk)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
Not trying to be an ass or anything but just removing the apk does not uninstall the app. The data will still be there and the device will sill think its installed (even tho you won't see the app in the app drawer) it shouldn't cause any issues but if your removing a bunch of stuff, might as well uninstall them correctly and reclaim the space they take up.

Titanium backup would probably be the easiest way to do it but what I prefer to do is put it all into a script. That way I can run it on whatever rom I install.

An example of how to uninstall the browser via command line...

rm/system/app/Browser.apk

pm uninstall com.android.browser

It should then say "seccess"

With system apps you need to remove the apk first then run the pm uninstall name.of.package command. Hope someone found this helpful :-)

Edit: also, I wouldn't remove, uninstall or rename talk.apk because the market uses it in some way (can't remember for what exactly but it needs it)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Are you sure ;p

None of the apk's I removed show up in "/data/app" or "/system/app". So IMO, they are gone. Even checking the "/cache/" and it's contents. No trace of them there either. (I do wipe "cache/dalvik-cache" after deleting apk's).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
How do you find out what the name of each apk's matching package?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
Well the apk is gone but the /data/data/package data is still there. Try "adb shell pm list packages" and see if any of your removed apk's package names are listed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Yes, I do see some folders there, but it just looks to be "stored data", and not the actual app as mentioned. My method of removing the apk's will prevent it from running. That was the goal. Although admittedly your method may be better, now that it has been brought to my attention, as it cleans up more.
