I would also like to echo my thanks to this site, to everyone behind it and all the contributors and wealth of knowledge that is assembled here. After finally having enough with VZW, I unlocked and rooted my GNEX and it's been absolutely wonderful! THANKS!
[About XDA developers] orangekid:
Welcome in guys!

I see you have decided to step out of lurking and perhaps become part of the community, that is very noble cause indeed.

Feel free to roam the forums you guys frequent and help other members with questions or issues that you once had, this way we can help perpetuate the greatness of the forum and save developers' time answering things so they spend it developing.

That may be the best way to show your gratitude.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikkot:
Got my new Defy+ last friday. And uninstalled a few bloatwares [sometimes I hate the corporates] using Titanium Backup. Which led to not be able to open my contacts as I had removed Yahoo sync. [This problem has a resolution in this forum]. So I tried to restore the apps and I wasn't able to restore using Titanium Backups either. They just froze :| while restoring. So then I had to flash fixed spf [I've convinently managed to delete the spf file I used :|] of the same version of Android (2.3.4) that came with my Defy+. Resulting in another issue :|. Now my phone thinks it doesnt have a battery in it ! :eek: gives an error 'Invalid battery'. Though my phone still turns ON and works normally, but no metering and charging.

Can someone please help me out ! :( My gf isn't happy either with this noobish-ness that I've pulled off. As we are not able to talk or message :p . I'd really appretiate someone can really help me out with my phone and I'll do some more reading on the net on this till then and enjoy my temporary freedom ;):p

Also can anyone can link me to a working Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 asia stock spf ?? :confused: I hope I won't lose my waranty within a week :(

yes b14 supports but you need additional wifi direct app. when you enable wi-fi direct, wifi network disconnects. if you have two devices with wi-fi direct support you can check.

For what I've understood, ACME Installer is closed source at the moment, untill a proper CM (not alpha) will be released with sources.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotocRxss:
Hi all,

Last year I backed up all data on my HTC DHD using a 'trial version' of MyBackup.

I then installed XDA ROMS and successfully restored the data using MyBackup.

Recently installed some of the latest XDA ROMS.

I tried to restore my backups using MyBackup Pro - But the application tells me "License has expired".

I was under the impression that by 'unlocking' (?) the phone using AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit) and installing XDA ROMS that one could basically use most 3rd party software apps without the requirement to purchase software licenses?

Am I way off? Do I need to purchase a license for MyBackup?

Is there any other way to restore the data?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! ( Currently cannot phone anyone without phone numbers restored! :-( )

THANK YOU

MX
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopscotchjunkie:
Unlocking the phone has nothing to do with not paying for commercial apps, and this certainly isn't the place for that sort of discussion.

There's a free version of MyBackup available for root users with all the features of the full version except for online backups (in the Market named "MyBackup Root" ) - that's what I use and it works just fine. Otherwise, support the devs and pay the pennies for the app.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guids:
You can try nand backups in recovery mode (or rom manager which is basically the same thing)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotocRxss:
Thank you very much I will try MyBackup Root !

Could please possibly provide some clarrity for me then so I'm in the clear:

1. Unlocking the phone and installing ROMS originally built for other phones is OK/leagal (because of open source?) ?

2. These ROMS should/will then never come with pre-installed 'commercial' apps (as some of the jail broken Iphone's do?), only free apps?

3. Could you possibly provide a link to information on 'wiping' a phone first before installing new ROMS. I am not able to use any new ROMS with out always receiving 'Force Close' messages or the phone constantly rebooting. I saw in the Q & A that one should always wipe first, i'm just not sure what the best procedure is to do this, i.e how to backup first, and how to wipe.

Thanks again, much appreciated!

MX
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopscotchjunkie:
1. Correct, although as every manufacturer/operator will tell you it will invalidate your warranty. Hence the many threads on how to go back to the stock ROM when making a claim.

2. Again, correct. With the possible exception of commercial apps which were already included as stock (e.g the DHD came with QuickOffice included in the stock ROM, so ROMs built on this base will likely include that).

3. You can manually do it in recovery (wipe data, wipe system, wipe cache, etc) but I prefer the 'Super Wipe' script you can find in the first post of the "Android Revolution HD" thread in the development section. Just flash it in recovery and it will wipe & format all your partitions. That's all I ever use and I've never had any issues.

So first backup your apps, texts and whatever with MyBackup Root. Reboot into recovery and make a full backup (so you can restore back to your current state if something goes wrong). Flash the super wipe script; the phone will reboot to recovery when DONE. Flash the new ROM. Install MyBackup Root and restore the bits you need (but don't restore system data between ROMs, and be wary that restoring data for some apps between ROMs can sometimes cause force close issues). And that's it. Repeat as and when you see a new ROM that you fancy.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotocRxss:
Thank you very much! I have successfully restored contacts using mybackup root!

And thanks for the explanation and detailed steps to wipe and install! Just installed ICS 9.9.3 without any FC messages or auto reboot problems!!

Sorry, just one more thing, not sure if I need to contact MyBackup directly. I have successfully restored all contacts. I'm now tying to restore all photos. To do this one has to select 'Apps & Media' option. All goes fine (reading contents, extracting zip file) until it then provides the option to tick 'all apps' or 'all photos' or both. When ticking photos only, the following message appears: "Unable to restore 'apps' as the original backup was done when MyBackup did NOT have root access." The app then closes.

Any ideas?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ernmin:
You can try the free version of MyBackup (not Root) to restore your apps.

P.S. I prefer Titanium Backup for backing up my apps+data
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopscotchjunkie:
Can't help you with that, sorry. I've seen that error once before when restoring apps from a backup taken prior to rooting (I think because the original backup was taken without sufficient access rights to backup what it needed), but that shouldn't happen for photos; your photos are stored on the SD card anyway so the backup would just be copying them from one directory on the card to another which shouldn't require root access. Might be worth giving the MyBackup devs a shout.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotocRxss:
Thanks but it tells me "Trial version has expired".

How do i make the middle ring in the lockscreen to unlock screen in cm7.1
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] dianpadi:
do you mean the rotary style? drag down the middle 'lock' to unlock screen?

settings - CyanogenMod settings - Lockscreen - Style options

- lockscreen style - rotary

- custom app starter - thicked

- drag down to unlock - thicked

sorry if this is not what you means :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Prawesome:
I think its the ICS lockscreen you are talking about..Explain your question a bit..

If you are talking about 'Rings' lockscreen style and want to put them in the middle,so that it looks like ICS lockscreen..Its not possible..It is possible,but nobody has themed anything like that or ported the lockscreen.Try CM9 if you want to get that lockscreen badly..However,devilsking has made an ics themed lockscreen for MiLocker for his final version of TheMythICS..So,wait for that
[TouchPad General] Krunk_Kracker:
As we all know, some people are having issues with wi-fi being unpredictable and buggy on the TP. One method that seems to work more often than not is changing the wireless channel on your router. This is not a hard thing to do, but some people are having issue with accessing their routers.

This guide is for those of you on a Windows machine. Mac users, I have no idea what to tell you.

To start, we need to figure out what your IP address is. The quickest way to do this is to press Windows Key + R (Windows Key is beside left-alt). In the run box, type cmd and press enter. You should see a black box now with a blinking cursor. In this box, type ipconfig /all and press enter. Look for "Default Gateway" note this address down. Mine is 192.168.2.1 so we'll use this as the example.

Open up a new browser window or tab, and type in that IP address exactly as you noted it. You'll get a login notice, and this will differ depending on what router you have. Go to this website to get your default username and password: http://www.routerpasswords.com/.

Once you have access to your router, again, all of this will differ depending on the make and model of your router, but you need to look for a wireless tab. Once there, you need to look for something that says "Channel" or sometimes "SSID and Channel" (SSID is the name of your wireless)

After you have found the channel tab, use it to select a new channel. I've read that anything betwixt 1 through 4 works the best.

This is a vague walk-through, so please ask questions and I'll be sure to help.

:EDIT: Here's a good reference site for routers - http://www.portforward.com/

[TouchPad General] Krunk_Kracker:

[TouchPad General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Did you try DD-WRT or Tomatoe? Another great source is WiFiPlanet.com

PS added to XRON Q&A as well
[TouchPad General] Krunk_Kracker:
I wasn't going to use DD-WRT or Tomato because if someone knows how to install that, they won't need this how-to :p

It's the reason I didn't get screenshots of my router running DD-WRT
[TouchPad General] dmarchant:
http://www.portforward.com has got load of info on routers including screenshots. It's a bit OTT for the enquiries here, but will have some useful info on how to get into a router setup.

[TouchPad General] Izeltokatl:
I don't have a touchpad yet, but the best channel would be the one hard coded on the device. As a general rule you should always set the channel of all your devices the same. I wouldn't know how to find the default channel though on this device.

[TouchPad General] Izeltokatl:
Actually now that im thinking about it.here is a fast way to figure out the default channel on the HP. Download wifi analyzer on your android device. Then on your tablet turn on wireless tether. On the phone scan for wireless devices and see what channel it reads.

Hi,

When I leave pickup my NC after letting it sleep for a while everything works fine except the Wifi is off. After a minute or two it will come back,but I usually get frustrated and just toggle it off and on manually. Is there a fix for this lazy Wifi reawakening?

Jerry
[Nook Color General] RVD26:
I have the same issue. It also happens when I reboot.

Any fixes?
[Nook Color General] frankusb:
Not really a fix, but if you run WiFi Analyzer it will bring wireless on quickly.

Frank
[Nook Color General] Lttlwing16:
Sure you all know, but you have the option to leave wifi on, even when the screen is off. This way wifi will be on when you wake the nook. Go to settings-wireless and networks-wifi settings-advanced (menu soft key). Then change the wifi sleep policy to NEVER.

Some would say this will kill your battery, but I haven't noticed a significant difference, and don't have an issue with wifi turning off. It is also helpful with public networks, like my work, as I don't have to continually deal with IP address conflicts with all the ipads around.

Peace

On MiRaGe(built from CM7) running from Rack's dual boot on uSD, I couldn't get wifi to turn on at all. The solution I found in another thread, was to install Wifi Analyzer from the Market. I did this, and after fiddling around in it, I was able to get wifi to turn on. This is only a work around, but, it works.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TKG26:
So i bought a new class4 16gig card to prep for some ICS roms. My current class2 8gig card is used for my other roms.

I used mini tool partition wizard 7. Very nice free easy to use program

Primary 15gig FAT32

Primary 1gig EXT3

From clockwork recovery i flash the MIUI ICS rom and it apears to install without issue. But gets hung up on its orange splash screen. I tried the CM9 rom and same thing hangs on splash screen. Earlier i did actually get MIUI to install but under file explorer it did not see my SD card. just internal space..

Did i partition things correctly? As it stands i cannot get either ICS ROM to completely boot even though both seem to flash successfully.

Guys/gals

I have noticed that while in CWM, the up and down presses of the volume button are acting weirdly. Sometimes it will scroll through 3-5 lines while other times it is doing what it should and moving one spot at a time. I am rooted running gummynex and using the proper CWM version. Any others experience this also?

On a side note, this sometimes disables the functionality of the 'enter' button on the right side also.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JcMalta:
Never had any problems with CWM navigation here ... maybe re-flash CWM?

Edit: Does your volume key act weirdly just adjusting the volume? If so it may be bad hardware :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inkdaddy66:
Mine does the same. Its when you hold the rocker down for a long period of time. Just tap one by one and you'll be good. I kinda like the ability. It allows for faster scrolling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diablospeed:
it is only in CWM... volume functionality is perfect in normal actions. it is extremely sensitive in CWM. sometimes i can choose carefully and get it to move one option at a time, but it is far too sensitive to be fun to use in this way.

maybe i'll try the touch version and see if that is any easier. it does not seem hardware related since I have seen 3 or 4 others with the same issue only in CWM.

My Qus IS that i want to upgrade my current rom

and i want to upgrade it to V022 without the full wipe :confused:

i mean my msgs,apps,etc must not be removed in upgrading...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ken-Shi_Kun:
If you just update the rom form cwm or xrecovery the data in your system won't be affected. It won't erase your apps sms calls etc. Of course if You do not do a full wipe, but I don't think so.

If You are currently in GDX and want to upgrade for a newer version there won't be data loss. If you are concerned just do a backup from cwm or xrec before upgrade (this is adviseable always). If something goes wrong there is a backup then.

Forget one little thing:

If you use a2sd or sd-ext trhere could be problems, the update must use the same method.
