[General Questions and Answers] jodank:
Hi to all good people!

Phone: Alcatel OT-990

Current firmware ver.: Android 2.2.2

Build number: FRG83G.v53R-0

Problem:

I'm updated my phone with the Alcatel update sw from the site of Alcatel.

Now, if I try to install any custom ROM for my phone it is impossible because I can not enter to the Recovery menu to do thinks...

I have rooted my phone, installed Recovery Manager and Superuser too on phone.

When I open Recovery Manager it shows to me: "Currently installed Recovery: Unrecognised"

I updated the database too in Recovery Manager.

If I try to install the recovery img file which was worked on this phone 2 days ago the "unrecognised" msg do not disappear.

When I reboot my phone to Recovery menu after the installation of the img file it hang up on a black screen and only LCD background light goes on, nothing else.

I walked through lot of post's on the net and tried out lot of tips and tricks but no one succeed.

What can be the problem?

How can I solve this?

Thanks a lot...

Can somebody help me how to solve this?

So I have on order from tmobile 2 of these phones for my parents, they wanted to upgrade and learn how to use them. But coming from well... I nokia bar phone, and a old samsung slide phone, this change might be a little big. So I was wondering if you guys could recommend some good stable roms that are easy to use, have somewhat decent battery life. Or even if should I just stick with the stock one? Thank you guys. -CptSamir

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Exodian:
Personally I would let them knock around the stock rom for a little while until they get used to android and then try a custom ROM later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tigerz0202:
i wouldnt do **** to their phones , if it craps out on them then they are screwed, stock rom on this phone is really good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:

Since they're for your parents, I would leave them as is, stock. Chances are, they're never going to understand or utilize the phone's full potential. Unless you plan on always being available to immediately troubleshoot any and all errors/issues that might/will pop up with a custom ROM, stock is the way to go. Even stock blows away other phones available.

I am using beastmod. You could give that a try. Its stable and fast. Don't underestimate your parents. My dad rocks cyanogen on his smartphones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gallaxxeess:
If this is there 1st foray into Android, leave it stock. The worst thing you can do is have a custom ROM on it, then have it do some weird stuff, and they are up a creek when they go to the store to have them fix it.

If they want to mod the phone and mess with it, let them make the choice and let them learn to do it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Karakoram2:
You could at least root and debloat the phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
I wouldn't do anything to them, this phone is good stock. The last thing you need is them accidentally going to recovery and messing with something they shouldn't.

That's the best thing to do IMO.

Ya, trust me. I know my parents. My dad cannot turn on a computer, my mom pulls me every 2 min to help here "troubleshoot" a problem she is having, like finding the next button, or save, or...well. anything. Thank you for all the replies. I will stick with the stock rom for now and see how they like it. Hopefully (wish me luck) they will go from using the phone to just make calls, and use the phone to help their lives.

Pretty much it depends on your parents understanding of Technology my mother I got her into android I gave her my old Vibrant custom rom and all and from time to time i would update it to something newer and she would get how to use it pretty quick sure she has had some issues but if your knowledgeable enough you can help em in those snags as for ROMs i would suggest Bombaridier personally my favorite:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
I would just stick with the stock one personally. And this is coming from someone who in the past ALWAYS flashed a custom rom on other phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GBGamer:
I'd flash a custom kernel, like darkside, because it make the phone much smoother

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] treo...not!:
I vote for stock as well. I am still on stock (rooted and bloat-frozen) and it works well for me. If we had MIUI, then I would recommend that because your parents could easily cusome the look of their phones to their hearts' content without alot of knowledge and without great risk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Yeah stick with stock, they wont notice the difference anyhow. Its not like they're gonna go overclocking/undervolting the cpu, theming or all that good stuff. My guess its they just want it for what it is, a phone

Does the OP have the leaked update? I only saw the update show up after I installed the leaked update for the 912. Version 2.1.0.0 after today's update. Before that it was 2.0.70. If you don't have the leaked update your version is probably older

[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Very important to note that you MUST be using either the CDMA 2.3.6 update, or the LATEST. 167 GSM 2.3.6 update to use this. I spent an age trying to get hold of it on previous firmware, it absolutely will not work.

The reason for this is that those latest updates change the structure of the smart actions apps significantly, and remove/merge a bunch of apks that were previously part of it. This makes the apps modular and able to be updated from the market.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] larrygeary:
Am I misunderstanding you, or are you saying the phone must be running the "cheesecake" unofficial update snarfed from the servers in order to use the new Smart Actions? The latest official update was to 748 for Verizon CDMA.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
As far as I'm aware, that's 100% correct. Certainly the case for GSM, the last officially pushed OTA does not make the market update available.

Makes you wonder why Moto released the app to market in December, and why they've updated it twice since then.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
Moto made ICS for the XOOM in December. They are building up from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 to 2.3.7 to hopefully 4.0.3. Who knows why? They could have done 2.3.5 to 4.0.3. Moto makes no sense
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Between Blur oddities like giant widgets that do nothing when tapped, a home launcher that sets third party launchers as default automatically, all manner of hidden apps, the obvious conflicts between consumer & business use, and potentially releasing the same hardware in GSM and CDMA 'variants' by just disabling radios in software...yeah, Moto is a very strange OEM.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] seanmcd72:
Is there a 2.3.7 patch out there? Or is that just speculation?

I bought my Note today. I'm really impressed with its big screen and whooping 1.4 ghz cpu performance.

I often play chess online on jagplay.ru. They have apps with different resolutions but max resolution is 480x854. So the game runs only on half of the screen, rest of the screen is black. I wanted to know if we can edit those apks and change the screen resolution to fit on the Note ? Here is the link http://jagplay.ru/game/jagchess/selectport/android

Hi guys,

Im trying to root my Korean Note and I went into Download mode, then Odin and everything went smoothly. After rebooting to go into recovery mode, all I get is a black screen and constant vibration pulses.

I tried 2 methods.

Vol, Up / Power/ Home keys

and according to the Korean site here (which is in Korean but I can read some)

http://pspmaster.tistory.com/181

It says Vol. Up / Vol. Down / Power key, but the same thing happens.

Any ideas?

[HTC Sensation] vseslija:
Hello everyone

Can someone tell me what the difference is between the two and which one is more stable and bug free. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] fearkillerr:
Unquestion is way more stable and its a sense less rom. Basicly it has sense under the hood. With almost everything working. Also u can use it as a daily driver. Quattro is still buggy n many thing don't work... Its alpha!
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Without a doubt it would be VI. Because it's based off of some Sense that pokes it's face out here and there. Where if you want to be "closest" to AOSP then VQ is the way to play.

Just keep in mind Bluetooth in VQ is not yet operational. Also camcorder is not either.

But your best bet is to try both out. Keep a backup of your last functional set up you have that you like and then flash away to make your own determination.

Features:

-- Game is very light and robust, should run on every device without a hang

-- Support for different screen sizes, from smallest phones to tablets

-- Small installation size

Download from android market for free (search: forest tower defense)

[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
Agree. And maybe the positions where it's possible to build a defence tower as well.
[Android Apps and Games] beemasterz:
1. Good point about path visibility! I will think about that :)

2. Different placement for towers may screw everything up and make the game too easy/unbalanced.
[Android Apps and Games] mrBira:
Good game! Looking forward for next update.

In my opinion it's just barely visible on my Galaxy Nexus, cuz of the higher resolution. Even tho i have zoomed in max. Any chance you could do the maps 16:9 instead of what ever it is now (4:3?)?
[Android Apps and Games] beemasterz:
mrBira, thank you for the feedback!

The problem is that Samsung Galaxy S2 <screen-size> is treated as normal, although it should be treated as large according android specification.

large screens are at least 640dp x 480dp

normal screens are at least 470dp x 320dp

This is because those specifications actually start to work from version 3 of Android, and Samsung Galaxy S2 is version 2.3. So it just downoads the wrong apk from the market. Currently I am working on this issue. I think I will solve it soon, I will post here about it.
[Android Apps and Games] mildlydisturbed:
played it on an HTC EVO 3D - thoughts on this

1) rotate the screen, I could have seen the entire thing if it were portrait

2) disable vibrate on press by default

3) needs some sort of music

4) you have these upgrades for new critters, describe them more - I upgraded to squirrel with arrow and belt kind of ripped off.

5) randomly locks up, switches to black screen. I can get out of it just by pressing home, so it's not terrible. Have to force close some times, other times it will just exit.

6) needs more levels open by default

7) Just feels like the critters are a bit underpowered and the levels are a bit short.

Fun game though, looking forward to updates.
[Android Apps and Games] Barbados87:
nice game. But it would be good to do a more clear help
[Android Apps and Games] SnottyApps:
I agree with the path visibility. You can do display it after a player clicks on an enemy.. em.. fruit :) Overall, I kind of like your game, because it has something original comparing to other tower defense games.

Also, application stays active after I exit it using back button and you have to kill it with task manager.
[Android Apps and Games] beemasterz:
Thank you! Regarding path visibility - you can remember it from the start. At least for the first wave ;)

And the first wave will show you the path for the second etc. etc. It's not hard to remember the path at all, this is my opinion.

Application does not stay active. It goes to background. Because of that it does not consume processor power or other resources. The sound is also paused. This approach is good for all android applications and meets the guidelines. The operating system will kill the process if it needs more memory, you shouldn't worry about it. Just move it to background and forget about it when you done. This is absolutely OK, believe me.

And about a game:

New version is available on Android Market! New levels! Have a try!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] cjpty:
I have a Samsung Infuse, quite similar to the Galaxy S2. I tried to flash a new rom xdadeveloppers taken out of gingerbread. I thought I followed the steps correct. When you finish flashing the phone was restarted. Appeared a strange color for a ratoy then boot logo. Stayed there. He constantly repeats the startup logo, the end of the animation starts again. There is no way to get into recovery. Before I could do from the tight manteniento Rom Manager or volume buttons + and volume - and turning the device appeared to reinstall options packages, etc.. Now it's impossible, just start and stay in the startup animation repeatedly.

Can you think of someone a solution? Maybe I damaged the internal sdcard partitions or something else. I would appreciate any suggestions.

If not the right place to raise the issue, if not, sorry. Thanks in advance
