I apologize in advance if I come off as an asshole... But... You seem to have issues with every rom you try... I'm thankful I don't have all the issues you have. :) The only advice I can offer is make sure you wipe/format efficiently and read the O.P. of the thread... Good luck man...

P.S. I'm a 12 pack of heineken into the night, I'm not trying to be mean or rude... :beer:

There's a app called absolute system but it's a paid app. Use the file manager to navigate to /system/build.prop click on the file and it'll let you edit it NP. Or you can try this alternative method.

$ su

# cp /system/build.prop -f /sdcard/build.prop

Now mount your sdcard to pc and rename build.prop to build.txt so you can edit it with a text editor. Make the edits, rename it to build.prop (windows might have to change view file extentions some how can't remember how). Unmount sdcard and run this in term.

$ su

# mount -o remount, rw /system; mv /sdcard/build.prop -f /system/build.prop; chmod 777 /system/build.prop; mount -o remount, ro /system; reboot;

Good luck!

Could I use ROM toolbox? I've never tried the build.prop editor on it but would it work?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] blakeatl:
Not every rom but there are certain kernels my phone has problems running. I also try out the roms when they're in their infancy so yes.....I will post to get an issue fixed.

Also....I get restless and want to try out different roms after a successful run, so I bite the bullet and try most of em.

Works great! Thanks for the patch/fix zen should inc. This into the next release
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Kirby Baker:
I also flashed the keyboard zip and it works great! Only thing missing now on the keyboard is the smiley key (it sends a "\"). I can live without that key though.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] zenulator:
I'm glad to see everyone working to get this running better. I will be remaking the kernel sometime soon. Hopefully before next release. The overclock works with the built in quattro control but not with any other apps like nofrills.

Also there are some scripts I included from virtuous quattro that might need to be pulled in init.d. I'm not sure if they are even running or if they work correctly.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] zenulator:
Yea sure send me an evo 3d lol
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] deerkiller11:
Thanks for all your work Zen.

The keyboard zip worked for me (however I still found at least one "FN" key still not working) I will test each key today and list all that I find for everyone else to know.

I just did the screen lockup fix but have not had enough time to test it as of this post. I had to add to the build.prop file (FYI) to make the fix.

I have a very busy day today, so it will be late before I can post my findings.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Kirby Baker:
The only FN key errors I have found are the :) key and the .com. Everything else on mine works correctly (other than the shift and FN lights dont turn on).
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] madplaya1:
What does roaming indicator mean? so is it roaming or not ?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] zenulator:
Its not roaming. The indicator shouldn't be on
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] psiosatyr:
I couldn't get the :) or .com to work, they rely on something outside of the .kcm files that isn't present in ICS yet, same thing with the fn and shift lights. I put \ as shift and fn for the @ key, and > as shift and } as fn for the period key. its mirrored for the comma key, with < as shift and { as fn. I think the keypad is still using the generic.kl instead of the speedy-keypad.kl, i'm not sure how to fix that though.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] deerkiller11:
Those are the ones I have found but I thought I would check them all anyway.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
Rom toolbox should work but since I already have absolute system I never tried the rom toolbox build.prop editor.

Here is a new ics launcher for people to try out. Just found it on the xda landing page . Apex Launcher
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] deerkiller11:
For everyone's info:

the market app started acting up on me tonight after a couple of days of perfect operation so I followed the script in the OP:

mount -o remount,rw /system

chmod +x /system/bin/drmserver

/system/bin/drmserver&

mount -o remount,ro /system

I was getting an error: "Bad mode" on the chmod line. So I change the line to "chmod o+x /system/bin/drmserver" and it work for me. So if anyone else has this problem give this a try.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Ejedias:
Yeah I figured that out with the lcd density. Forgot to edit the post. Just changed it manually in the build.prop. I thought it was kinda weird in there that it was there twice.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Ejedias:
Weird thing is that this worked in exact opposite for me. Tried in wifi first and it didn't work. Later that day I was in 3g. Gave it a shot again and sure enough it worked. Now it works on both. Not sure how that makes any sense.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] King Jeriamas:
Great work on this Zen. I have to say I clicked on "disable boot animation" in quattro controls and the response was "jerk". Funny stuff bro. My GF was sitting right there and ask me if my phone called me a jerk. I said no that was Zen. Lol.

Anyways Im trying to narrow down when the freezing occurs on my shift. So far I saw four consistant freeze points. 1. when I get going in facebook after like 8 minutes. 2. when moving app2sd in rom toolbox. 3. When viewing storage in settings menu.

Any specific commonality you can find with these three? Rom Toolbox and facebook apps are on the sd card if that helps.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] galaara98:
Exact same thing happened to me yesterday. Phone called me a jerk and I busted up laughing in a dr. Office waiting area... show it to my wife and she's wondering why my phone is programmed to yell at me.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
Lmfao @jerk.. I've been using the apex launcher and the only time I've had a freezeup now is with the facebook app. Also I tried the build.prop edit and maybe its a placebo affect but it seems to be helping.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] galaara98:
Has anyone tried the ICS encryption?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] King Jeriamas:
I'm gonna try the apex launcher and report back. Thanks all.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
With all these random freezes if sounds like memory leaks in the rom imo.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] csdj92:
I'd have to agree with that, every time I use facebook or twitter a couple seconds later I get a freeze or video glitches.

Edit: I just applied the new update zip and everything is running very smooth.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] deerkiller11:
I will second that, I have been getting freezes from the internet browser and an app called SBM (drawing program). Unfortunately I have not been able to pull a logcat yet.

I don't get it, but the screen glitches and launcher disappearings went away after flashing the zip in the OP of that thread. I'm still getting frequent lockups.

EDIT: just kidding, glitches back after going in facebook for a while
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] deerkiller11:
I have only had two glitch/lockups since I installed the zip. I saw the thread, I did not get the update notification on my phone. I have also done the other scripts and "patches" in this thread. If you read that thread the wimax radio does not update but the phone and touch screen does.

For those with the problem of icons not drawing on the tray or in the drawer after exiting a program:

On Trebuchet, I have found that if I hit menu and go to the trebuchet settings and view (not change, just view) one of the settings areas and then back out, I get the icons back. No reboot required. Seems to force the launcher to reload.

Not a perfect solution, but much faster than a reboot or restart.

I have the phone in the three colour mode, don't know the name of it. And there i plug in the usb cable and i hear the sound on the comp, but i can't find the files even if I have HTC usb sync installed and the latest drivers. This all began with my boot screen loading forever and ever and I think I have to reflash the phone. help!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
you cant access files through bootloader. only run flashes.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] CrazzzyBean:
Ok can you give me a good ROM and the latest android ( i changed computer since last) and i forgot how to do it. I made it through SD card before, but you mean you can flash it through USB. Sorry for being noob, just want to have my phone back for many reasons.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
no, teh nand section is chock full of great roms, pick one.

do you mean you ran android from SD card, whilst winmo was also still installed, or do you mean you FLASHED android from SD card (which is how you flash nand android roms)?

no you don't flash android through usb, you flash magldr through usb in bootloader mode, then you start magldr, and enter usb flasher mode (but this time in magldr, not in bootloader) and you flash clockworkrecovery, and THEN you enter magldr, enter cwm, and THEN you flash android from sd card.

everyone was a noob once.

start reading, if i spoon feed you you wont learn anything, and next time you want to change you will be back here again saying 'sorry im a noob, i dont know how to do it"

In brief

enter bootloader (where you are now)

connect usb

flash magldr

(if you already have magldr start here)

restart the phone,

enter magldr

choose USB flasher

use the 'nand toolkit' to flash the required partition size as described in teh first post of whatever rom you choose. (Every rom needs a different size)

restart the phone

enter magldr

choose 'ad recovery'

this starts clockwork

in clockwork choose 'mounts and storage - mount usb'

you can now see your sd card from the PC, copy over the .zip for the rom you want.

in cwm choose install zip from sd, choose the zip you copied, restart the phone

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjpalmeida88:
Do a factory reset (data wipe) or reflash a new rom

a. reflash a New ROM, if it does not solve

b. Format Phone memory and SD card

c. goto Step a. It should most probably solve the issue. Pl take a backup of whatever you desire before this attempts!!

[Kindle Fire General] jdock:
I don't think I have seen any mention of this idea yet. Sorry if I missed it...

In a recent thread about the 6.2.2 update and people wanting to prevent it, I thought I read that someone saw the file show up in the update directory. I'm assuming this means the same 'kindleupdates' directory you could manually drop the update into -- but if not, the idea is the same. Why not just take some step to prevent access to this directory?

The exact step to take would depend on how smart the developers were about dealing with problems in the update process :-)

The easiest step would be to chmod 555 it. But of course if the update process is running as root it is under no requirement to honor those permissions! (My experience in the unix world tells me that about half the time, programs running as root do honor the permissions even though technically root overrides them).

Another easy step would be to delete it altogether. But they probably thought of that (if it's /mnt/sdcard/kindleupdates where someone could easily accidentally delete it) and recreate it if it's missing.

One trick that is often done is to replace the directory with a file. Some programmers do not think to check this kind of condition - they see there is something there, but they get an error opening it as a directory, and they just declare it's an error.

A more subtle trick would be to replace the directory with a symlink that points to a read-only directory (such as /system). In this case, they could open it as a directory, and just fail to write there. The programmer probably would not have thought to check whether it's a link vs. a real directory. One possible gotcha is if you point to /system, and /system is r/w, then the update could screw something up under /system. So maybe mount /system r/w, mkdir /system/kindleupdates, remount /system r/o, then link the update dir to /system/kindleupdates.

And finally, I don't know if Android has any kind of loopback filesystem capability, but loopback-mounting something read/only on that directory would certainly fake the OS into thinking there was a directory there; it would definitely be read/only, and I don't think they would ever think to check whether there is actually some filesystem mounted there! (and if there was, all you need is an app that constantly accesses some file you put there, which would make it busy so that it couldn't be unmounted).
[Kindle Fire General] lmntone:
The first method won't work because the sdcard partition is fat32 and doesn't accept unix permissions.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
it downloads to the /cache folder - this folder is also used for other things like market downloads, logs from twrp and i don't know what else

btw. there are a lot of threads about this from the 6.2.1 update

make a short search for "prevent ota update" - you'll have a lot to read ...
[Kindle Fire General] pinios:
well, i just deregistered my kindle acount and i'm still in 6.2.1...
[Kindle Fire General] jdock:
Ah, that makes this less practical. Still, perhaps when the next update comes out I can try a variation on this but it requires the filename to be known.

If the update is downloaded as a single file to /cache, which is named the same as the file you can manually grab, then someone who hasn't gotten 6.2.2 (and is not averse to this failing) can try this in a root shell:

mkdir /cache/update-kindle-6.2.2_D01E_3205220.bin

mkdir /cache/update-kindle-6.2.2_D01E_3205220.bin/blah

The purpose here is to put something unremovable in the way of the file it wants to download. Most likely if the update sees something with the existing name there it would probably want to blow it away (after determining it's incomplete) - and since any update there would normally be a regular file, they probably would do nothing more complicated than a simple unlink syscall to delete it before re-downloading. However, since it's a directory with something in it, that unlink will fail. In actuality, making the subdirectory (second command above) should be unnecessary because the unlink should not work for directories; there's a special rmdir syscall for them.

I did read a lot of that last time and I don't think I actually saw a definitively successful method. If there is one it should be stickied :-)

My interest in this is a little different from most of you guys - I have very limited satellite internet and I don't like these unscheduled 185-meg downloads so I want to be able to update only when I want mostly to control that. This kind of means looking for the least-intrusive way to accomplish this.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
/cache/update-kindle-6.2.2_D01E_3205220.bin is exactly where it downloads

if you find a way to even prevent the download, that would be greatly appreciated
[Kindle Fire General] jdock:
Unfortunately I already got the update so I can't try it this time.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
at least you could try your method with a dummy file of an other name and try to overwrite it with adb - if you can't overwrite it there's a good chance
[Kindle Fire General] screwyluie:
I think I'm about the only one who prevented 6.2.1. I did it by constantly checking the cache folder. Found the update by chance and deleted it before it updated. Waited over a week for it to come back. Never did. An app that watched the cache folder for the updates and then moved/deleted them would work fine
[Kindle Fire General] jendol:
jcase already work a way around this automatic OTA update, so when FIREMOD is ready to replace burrito I think we will have no more problem with this OTA issue. (you can find jcase announcement in the kindle developer section)
[Kindle Fire General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Heres what I have done to prevent this.

1) Droidwall (white list only the apps you want to allow internet access)

2) Removed "otacerts.zip" from /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip.

3) I removed "OTASilentInstall.apk" /system/app

4) Installed this 6.2.2 based Rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439916

Hopefully this eliminates the OTA. I had my Fire rooted on 6.2.1 with twrp and it OTA'd on its own, broke root and twrp. So I rerooted with burritoroot2 and installed CWM based recovery.

[HTC EVO 3D] m0fizor:
Hello,

I got a big sale on HTC Evo 3D (the GSM version). It costed only 300$ without contract.

I owned a lot of Android phones before and i'm not a noob. I was in the testing team for a lot of ROMs.

Since this is my first HTC, can someone explain to me:

- What's HBOOT?

- What's S-ON/S-OFF? Ok, i know it's security ON/OFF, but how does this affect the phone?

- What's the best ROM for the GSM version?

- Why are so few ROMs available?

I installed CWM 5.0.2.0, i rooted my phone and i unlocked my bootloader via htcdev. My HBOOT is 1.49.0018 and my device is S-ON. I have the default firmware (Android 2.3.4, Software number 1.20.401.8).

You were a ROM tester and don't know what hboot or s-on/off is.? Hmmmmmm

[HTC EVO 3D] m0fizor:
Samsung Galaxy i5500 had an unlocked bootloader.

Motorola Milestone had a locked bootloader, but we could bypass the bootloader via some exploits.

LG Optimus 2x had an unlocked bootloader.

Xperia X10 mini pro had a locked bootloader, but we could unlock it via an exploit made by the great the_laser (the master of Sony Ericsson).

When i said ROM tester, i was saying "TESTER". Install ROM, check the functions, check the stability, check the temperature etc.

Do you get it now? It's the first time i have a contact with the HTC phones.

Don't be rude and be happy when a new guy buys the phone. He will be another person who will install the custom roms on the phone. So, another person who can find bugs.

Wasn't being rude, just wanted clarification. I am glad you're here and always welcome new members. Sorry it came across that way.
