Whoa, what? This is the first I've heard this. I've read through Droidstyle's guide, and didn't see this specifically mentioned. Or in any of the other threads I'd read, actually (there's so many).

Through all the posts I see on kernels, how kernels like KGB work with Gingerbread and EH03 based ROMs, which lead me to believe just the kernel can be customized with a stock ROM... I've never seen one until now that said you must have a custom ROM first.

So they mean, a Gingerbread/EH03 based *custom* ROM when they say that.

This would explain why I borked my phone trying to put KGB on it.

I wish I had seen this thread earlier, that would've save me a lot of headache.

It all makes sense now.

Do you have a music downloader on your phone? If you do, clear its app data and it will most likely go away.

If you don't have one or it doesn't work, then download Airpush and it will pinpoint the source
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocket999:
It was the music downloaded that was doing that for me. If you have it uninstall it. If you need a need a new one search for "music junk.apk" on 4shared.com. worked for me!

I just use YouTube downloader and save HD music vids as mp3 only it rips the HD audio and trashes the video most songs end up about 4-7mb with excellent quality
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Branford:
Thanks! Haven't seen any since I cleared the data.. also downloaded Airpush and found out some other apps were making different ads pop up which is useful info...

I guess I'll ask a second question while I've already got this thread: Does anyone know if WidgetLocker could cause the phone to not wake when the button is pressed, or perhaps anything else that could cause it.. I sometimes have to plug the charger in so that the screen comes on and after that it's okay. It's fine when i'm at home but potentially quite a major inconvenience.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
WidgetLocker has randomly given me all kinds of odd issues not waking the screen, not being locked when woken up, changing themes on its own, moving or deleting Widgets finally it got sidelined for go locker now that it supports custom shortcuts

How can I reinstall it in a Rom that the maker removed it?

Can't find any info on this.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Umm, well if you don't have a link to the zip file anymore, there is no way to install it. You will have to ask around and see if anyone has a copy of that zip file still.
[HTC EVO 3D] Computator:
if you just mean the built in google sync then you just have to install a google apps zip that will work with your rom to add all of google's stuff (including the sync/backup software)
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
I am specifically talking about the backup that takes place only when you start the phone for the first time.

After you sign in with your google account for the first time it asks if you would like to keep your phone backed up with google.

Many people don't like this feature because it reinstalls apps you had installed previously, but I like it becuase it reinstalls all and any WiFi passwords you have entered in your phone before.
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Aww man I hate to say but I have to.

There's an app for that lol. Jk seriously though you could just make a notepad doc with your wifi pw and drop it on your sd and change the ext to jpeg and zip it. To view just unzip and change ext's. I've always done this since I've discovered rooting my phone. Its a few extra steps but worth it Imo.

I really prefer just letting Google backup reinstall all the passwords :p. I mean most runs leave this feature in, but I would like to re add it to miks as I really love his ROM minus the fact that he removed Google backup in the latest update.
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
Maybe I missed something but I thought Google just backed up contacts and such... I've NEVER seen password/data backup offered through them in the 3 yrs I've been using Android, but maybe I just didn't stop to read something on the getting started screen...

[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
I guess I need to brush up on my phone modding skills because I haven't had to root/unlock/modify a phone for a while now as you can see I'm on a D2 and had an INC1 before that, I've messed with a NC and a Touchpad on the tablet side, all of these procedures seem simple and straight forward with few steps or lots of simple steps.

With my Rezound coming on Friday, I realize I'm a bit out of touch on things, when I hear about renaming files to x or y, using fastboot, boot.img, or flashing recoveries separately (including using Amon Ra, which I've never used) I'm quite confused.

I would appreciate if someone could lay it out for me a little more simplier for me or am I just overthinking?

-Sent from my Droid 2-
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yeah, I can see how reading posts in here at this time could be confusing. A lot of issues lately are due to people having flashed an ICS leak that caused their mainver to update, making it so that they could not simply flash back to GB. But now there are ICS ROMs out that you don't have to worry about that happening with, but if you are going to go for one of those I would confirm that in the thread of the ROM you pick.

Also, it's possible you may have to flash an ICS kernel before flashing an ICS ROM. I haven't gone to ICS yet but have read that when you go back to GB from ICS you have to flash a GB kernel first, so I would just check on that and make sure first if you're going with ICS.

And due to not having s-off I guess things are a bit different than if you do have it but it's not as bad as it seems.

So basically you are going to:

- unlock the phone by obtaining an unlock code from HTCDev [adb]

- flash Amon Ra, a recovery being used instead of CWM since that one's been buggy on the Rezound [adb - put recovry img file in same folder you used for unlocking]

- root [you will download a self contained toolset in its own folder and use that]

- flash ROM [put the zip file on your external sd card and flash in recovery]

- flash kernel [put the zip file on your external sd card and flash in recovery]

Here is a thread that will take you through the steps,

BUT When you get to the recovery part, at this time the latest version of recovery is not in the first post, get it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21730681&postcount=235

AND this guide skips flashing a ROM and also says it's for ziggy's kernel, so once you get past flashing Recovery go to the thread of the ROM you've selected and follow their instructions, then same thing with whatever kernel you've chosen.

[GUIDE] Super-noob guide to unlocking, rooting, and flashing Ziggys kernel

Hope this helps. Good luck and happy flashing!
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
I guess never have used adb doesn't help?

[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
If you do a little searching, there are a few great adb tutorials on this website. Try the DInc 2 threads.
[HTC Rezound] killsforpie:
Couple of tips:

- Don't worry about rooting if you're going to flash a ROM or at least not before you flash a new ROM. If for some reason your new ROM isn't rooted, you can root it later.

- "adb reboot bootloader" is your friend. Saves you from having to pull the case off for the battery a million times.

I came from an OG droid so all this fastboot stuff was new for me too, but I got the hang of it pretty quick. It really just adds one more layer between the recovery.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
The ROM roots for me or did I just understand that wrong?

-Sent from my Droid 2-
[HTC Rezound] killsforpie:
Yes I would say 99% of custom ROMs are already rooted.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
That's the first I've heard of that here in the Rezound forums. Not saying it's not true, just never read that here.

In any case, I would root first so you can make nandroid of your stock rooted phone in case the ROM flashing doesn't go smoothly. Then you can always go back to rooted stock easily and start over. I have mine saved for any future needs as well.

As to using adb. MrSmith317 (I think I got his numbers right) put up a nice little mini sdk which has the files you need for using adb for the purposes you will need to use it. I've attached it below since I can't find his original post that had it attached. Unzip that, rename the folder to something easy and put it in the root of your C: directory for easy navigation from the command prompt. You will use that to unlock and flash recovery.

Oh, another thing... there is an updated version of Amon Ra buried in the thread that never got put in the first post, so don't use versions listed in that first post. The latest version is now 3.13 found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21730681&postcount=235 . I'll update my other post to mention this.

And one last thing, it's possible you may have to flash an ICS kernel before flashing an ICS ROM. I haven't gone to ICS yet but have read that when you go back to GB from ICS you have to flash a GB kernel first, so I would just check on that and make sure first if you're going with ICS. I'll mention this too when I edit previous post.
[HTC Rezound] killsforpie:
I always do my backups from recovery where you don't need root (at least I didn't with the Rezound, been too long since my droid was unrooted). 99% is completely made up, but are there actually custom ROMs out there without root...? Not leaks or backups, but actual custom ROMs people have built.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
How does Google handle the uploading of mp3s that were not legally purchased? I've read articles saying that Google will remove such files from its cloud storage. Lets say I have a "friend" who happened to upload around 4,000 songs to Google Music about a month ago. So far, nothing has been removed or flagged. Is there any truth to the below statement, or is Google just covering it's rear against the RIAA?

"Google has a variety of tools at its disposal to identify illegal files. Via a method known as digital music watermarking, record companies can encode files with a variety information, including when and where the song was purchased..."

More here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michi_1983:
well, I've got about 8.000 'fallen-off-the-truck'-songs on my gmusic cloud for about 3-4 months now and nothing happend so far. I hope SOPA keeps away of that **** :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] question.com:
Same here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GeLopez:
When i upload my songs i dont delete the local files, that way i have a backup
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rowanparker:
So, if I (legally) download an album and encode to, say, wma for my own collection thus removing any 'digital watermarking' that may have been on it. Or, even just ripping a cd? Or copyright free music (such as my own personal band, say)? Google then flags these as being 'fallen off a truck'? I bet they're just coving their arses as I don't see how that could properly work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HideYoKids:
I had about 11,000 up right when it started. A few months in, I noticed the songs I was listening to most frequently (and I suppose were most popular at that time) were disappearing. I feel like most of the music I was actively listening to disappeared. Which is a shame because I loved the service.. but nothing happened and I wasn't contacted at all.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
Is Google music available outside the US? Maybe that's why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emuneee:
Some of my music came from "my days in college where bandwidth was plentiful and the WiFi flowed like milk and honey".

Not one song is missing and most of it (purchased and "collegiate") was uploaded in May.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pascanu:
Yes and no. You only need to be in the USA (or use a proxy based in the USA) when you create your account. Google is your friend (search for info on Google).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
How can Google tell if something is legal or not? If I buy an MP3 album, there'll be nothing to say it's legally bought or not?

Google can't enforce it at all unless they know it's an unreleased track - but being a DJ I can get music months in advance to promo so that covers me for that as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidmarc:
please do not bash me, I was thinking of going over to the dark side and use itunes music match to:

1. they claim to "put the music back on the truck", i do not think this matters since i have the music anyhow. Would this trick ensure that google with not have issues in the future with "off the truck music"???

2. main reason; upgrade all my music to 256AAC, then convert them back to 256mp3(or ogg). Most of my music is 128-196 bit rate. For 25$ this will update most of my music to a higher bitrate(maybe??)

then reformat or burn my pc to remove itunes.

What do you guys think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
lol +1 for the thread title. lol

I have bittorrented 320, flac, and wav files of records I have spent over 5000 on. I have no intention of using cloud service with att, but they can't legally delete that because I own copies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt30:
As a law student, I should say that the popular notion about what SOPA does isn't, strictly speaking, accurate.

Violating digital copyright laws is, and has been, illegal. Its been that way long before i was born. SOPA, by and large, deals with foreign violations of US copyright laws.

I'd think google might do a hash check for known illegal copies.

amazon and google music uploaded about 10-20% of my total library

it did it selectively for SONGS too.. not just albums...

[HTC Desire S] PotatoEngine4:
guys i'm to get my new phone probably htc desire s.

But i have a few question from you guys that:

1.Is 768 MB of RAM is enough for you?

2. is there any lag when playing games or by apps?

3. is it future proof?
[HTC Desire S] BeSeanB:
@1. yes think so. the new sensation xe got the same amount of ram

@2. did not notice any bad lag yet but havent try anything out there and ive just used the branded stock rom :P

@3. compared to the sensation xe: it just got a singlecore cpu with 1ghz compared to a dualcore with 1,5ghz and a adreno 205 as gpu vs a adreno 220 at the sensation xe. since im no geek i cant tell whether its future proof or not, but the desire s is not that old, prolly up to one year now. imo youre quite good with it atleast i am ;)

hope this helps
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Its an adreno 205 and this phone is not futureproof. I wouldn't consider any phone to be futureproof. But I think 768mb ram is enough and games are pretty smooth
[HTC Desire S] xIntenso:
1. Yes, I always have about 100MB free with about 150 installed apps and a lot of widgets.

2. Only the really heavy 3D ones (like some games from gameloft); 2D games should be fine. (Look for reviews of the Adreno 205 GPU). Apps generally never lag on this phone.

3. A little. 1GHz is fast, but most new phones have dual core and higher clock rates. Also, I'm not sure if there will be an official Android 4.0 release from HTC, but if you are willing to install custom ROM's that shouldn't be a problem.

Our Desire S has an Adreno 205 and not the slower 200. However, the 205 still isn't all that fast.
[HTC Desire S] BeSeanB:
oh yeh my fault. the side where i checked it got it wrong :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] WhatWouldJesusDo:
-1: its enough! depending on the rom the launcher works fast and smooth.

-2: i noticed a few lags when playing hd games! but only at the first minutes or when you are downloading other apps in the background.

-3: if we speak of smartphones or electronical devices in general, one can never speak of future proofness. i installed ics from virtous. as a future android version it runs smooth, too.

pls excuse my bad english : )

i hope you get what i wanted to say.
[HTC Desire S] :
1. It has proved to be plenty of RAM for me. A sign it was not enough would be the Sense launcher re-loading occasionally after exiting a memory-intensive app. Even on a stock ROM this didn’t happen.

2. Have not experienced any lag on the games I play. OK they are not generally the 3D type, and I have not tried GTA3, but Speedx3D runs smooth and that is quite a fast 3D game. Google Navigation, youtube, Netflix, 720p video recording and playback, all run smoothly.

3. No phone is future proof. You’d need to be able to upgrade hardware like a PC for that. Hell these days even PC’s are out-of-date before the cooling fan has had chance to get dusty. What is important is that even after nearly a year of this phone’s availability, development for the DS on XDA is actually speeding up! Not slowing down at all! Seems to be a new ROM each week to try out. There should already be enough for you to play with for your time with this phone. It’s getting some serious love from the ICS devs too, something I’m sure HTC had no intention of officially giving us.

I know several people with dual-core phones, and aside from showing off in benchmark tests, I have yet to meet someone who actually really benefits from having that extra core or can show me something useful that it provides. The only benefit I can think of is improved battery life (the SGS II battery life is excellent), but that is more down to improved chip architecture (plus a bigger battery) not extra processing power.

Personally I also don’t like the 4.7 inch screens as I only have small girl-like hands which includes a 2.5 inch thumb! :D The DS screen size is perfect for me. The SGS II is painful and frequently see people in my office needing two hands to operate it! Also the build quality on the DS (in my opinion) makes the SGS II look like it came out of a Kinder Surprise.

I have been contemplating what to upgrade to in the summer, and even though MWC has yet to announce all the contenders, even the available ones don’t appeal. They all tout a screen too large to be comfortable, and processing power I simply don’t need. I think I’ll be sticking with my DS until someone puts a phone out there that focuses on battery life improvements and decent camera optics instead of getting blinkered by cramming more and more processing power in. It’s the best phone I’ve ever had and this is the best section on XDA that I have experienced.

Hope I’ve helped. :)
[HTC Desire S] mixalisxxx13:
i thing the screen size is the only thing to conciser. in fact is a matter of taste.

otherwise there is no speed or smoothness problem at all. i personally have been using this phone for almost a year now with no complains at all.

plus with the virtuous quattro running so smooth at that stage i cant imagine how good it will be.

I love you for this post man!! (all platonic, of course :p:p:p)

This was an amazing insight into our device, and phones in general...what did me in was your closing sentence...

" It’s the best phone I’ve ever had and this is the best section on XDA that I have experienced. " - I have to say you echo my thoughts verbatim! Was looking for an upgrade too, and had almost decided to jump in for the Galaxy Note (I know it's not exactly a phone - that was kinda the point, but i digress...) but i just can't come to terms with having to give up this phone.

And do you know what the primary cause for that is? It's this community and all of you guys. I wouldn't be able to give it all up and move away...I know some of you so well, it's almost like family...or old school friends (they know who they are). Hell, i miss zeekiz since he's moved off to the Galaxy Nexus !

I love this phone and i love this community, and no Quad core is going to make me sell this phone. I will always keep this device...if only to stay on these pages.....
[HTC Desire S] :
Thank you enigmaamit! Yes I'll also feel sad when the day comes to move to another device. I may even break with my tradition of selling my old phone on eBay, and keep the DS so I can still test for people, and pop back to say hi every now and then. That'll be months away though. :)
[HTC Desire S] bronx:

But seriously, I really hope that HTC haven't forgot about Desire line. Same form factor, dual core (make it quad) anyone? :)
