[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madman_sle:
I would like to deodex the stock HC rom on my Acer A100 to theme and modify it, I am receiving errors attempting to do so with xUltimate. Is it not compatible with HC? Is it even possible to deodex the rom with a locked bootloader and no working recovery options. I know there is a possibility of it not booting if done improperly but I can easily restore the stock rom if needed.

Looking for some insight here, been killing Google for the last hour or two trying to figure out if this has been tried before, or if even possible. I've seen a few related posts scattered here and there but no real answers or guides to follow.

Hi!

I posted this in here because i can't post in Development because i'm a noob (less than 10 posts).

The update 8107 is already available for Samsung Focus i917R (Rogers) so what i did are the next steps:

1.- Jailbroke my AT&T Handset.

2.- Installed WP7 Root Tools from this site.

3.- Changed the values ATT-US to ROG-CA using the WP7 Root Tools on the next path:

Local Machine\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator

After the update i restored to ATT-US just in case, my device is Unlocked to any GSM and is working great, even the ear speaker sounds better (IMO) still is Jailbroken and is on 8107.

Picture on the 4th post :)

Thanks!
[Focus General] marek1958:
Thanks !!

New update done !
[Focus General] mywhiteside:
Welcome :)
[Focus General] mywhiteside:
Here is the screenshot :)
[Focus General] irfanindian:
Does the update delete all the apps/settings on the phone ? I mean do I need to take a back up and all ?

Btw, I've added your first thanks !
[Focus General] mywhiteside:
No information is lost, the jailbreak is still up and all my contacts and stuff remains intact, is working perfectly :) You're welcome :D
[Focus General] enjoythemusic:
The first post/procedure works fine, all my personal data was fine on ATT Focus 1.3.
[Focus General] BigwaveMx:
Works fine in my Focus (v1.3). All data remains. First update to 7740 and then jumps to 8107.
[Focus General] irfanindian:
Updated successfully! Worked like a charm.

Thanks.
[Focus General] Sierra76:
The trick no longer needed I guess. My Roger's Focus updated to 8107 via Zune today. I just plugged it in, and thats it.
[Focus General] irfanindian:
I think the changes are not needed for your Roger's focus, but it was needed with my ATT focus
[Focus General] mywhiteside:
Yes, the latest version was released for Rogers for another carriers the trick is needed. :)
[Focus General] joshuan09:
After the update my samsung focus stop receiving sms. I can send sms but cant receive any. Please help and excuse my poor english.
[Focus General] pslleung:
Will this update disable internet sharing? As I update vis Zune and turned out to lose the internet sharing functionality, and I need to run a system restore in the end.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
No, you'll still have it.
[Focus General] mikedj84:
sorry, i am a noob too...but how did you make the jailbreak? Which tool?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Through WindowBreak Project.
[Focus General] vanstygma:
SMS work or not? It's very important to know that.
[Focus General] dimka51:
I update my at&t focus three months ago and everything works great:)
[Focus General] TheKrayze:
these steps worked will. easy. the update took a while. it said I was going to update to 7440, but when right to 8701. oh well, how can I complain. just happy an am up to date. I changed the key back to att-us. looking forward to tango now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redandblack1287:
I just discovered that you can get rid of apps from the recent apps menu (the square button next to the home button) by swiping them to the side. I don't know why this makes me so retardedly happy, but I am sure that SOMEONE else out there will also appreciate this tidbit of information.

Anyone else have any nuggets of joy to share?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I liked that trick also when I first found out. Another thing too is that you can hold down the app in recent menu and a quicksetting will come up to let you remove it from list or look at app info.

Remember though, this only removes it from recent apps list. It doesn't close down the app itself.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
Does it really matter though performance wise? I Always thought Android puts background apps into an "idle" state where they dont take up any resources until used? Although it is cool for people with OCD like me :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
Yes it does close the app. It just doesn't close background processes of the app.

Swiping an app from recent apps menu removes the app from cached memory, but keeps the background sync's (if it has any) still running. So you can kill off Facebook, but it's background sync (that would be started during system boot up anyway) remains.

You can test it, if you swipe browser from recent app's memory, it has to reload the page it was on. Same with Facebook app. But Facebook app's background process keeps running until you 'force stop' it.

Android application architecture runs in two layers, foreground and background processes. UI and the things you can use are written to memory when focus is lost from those apps, clearing them from recent apps also clears the memory those apps take at the time.

Is it useful? Yeah, for some things. But it won't improve your performance in any real noticeable way. Best you can do is swipe away apps that you don't need, keeping only apps that you want to keep in memory should you re-open them again. But that's usually too much micro-management to be worth it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Perhaps, BUT, not every app in the recent apps list is actually running. That's why many times (most of the time?) the screenshot isn't what you actually see when you select an app from the list--you're really restarting it.

I think it's safest and easiest to just assume that you're really only removing apps from the recent apps list, not actually managing what's running in any way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redandblack1287:
Yeah it doesn't make any difference performance wise, but it makes the menu much more useable for me =D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] elybug:
Thanks for this message, this is my first android device and I've been trying to figure out how to "close" applications. Did a search in here (I think), prime manual search and googled it. I am slightly OCD and like to "close" thinks that I'm not using. Harkens back to my early Windows days when you closed apps to conserve memory.

In the manual it says to close application by clicking on an X in the recent apps menu. Though unless it is super tiny, there isn't one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Conduitz:
if you have the dock, 2 finger gestures on the touchpad act as screen swipes. i.e. swipe two fingers across the tab, the tab changes screens. Also, if you want to actually kill the apps, add teh asus task manager widget to a screen. works great!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
That was an ASUS Honeycomb customization. It went away in ICS...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
that's what I meant. I should of been more clear then. just swiping it doesn't close down app "Completely", meaning no background process either. you have to use a task manager or Force stop in order to "Truly" close n stop an app from running.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] new2q9c:
There isn't any in ICS, only in HC.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nerdsisme:
i didn't know that either until last week! ice cream is awesome :]
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
You know.....that Asus task manager widget does not work on mine. It doesn't matter if I press x next to one app or select kill all - nothing happpens. I think mine is broken :(

I removed it from one of my home screens, no need to have it if it doesn't work
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
It's a bit different though, because those background processes will (likely) already be running even if you don't start the app. Most of those background processes are started by boot activity in Android and others are started by scheduling activities (such as alarms or certain notifications and sync). These will be usually restarted once app is started again too (after Force Close) and if they are not already running (and they usually are).

Force Close is unnecessary unless you know that a certain app is bad for the system and was run accidentally, etc.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Html5Clouds:
hy .

what is the best sbf to flash if u whant to use CM7.2 or ICS on a Defy ?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popcorn1122:
Best and reliable is your original stock rom 2.2.2 froyo.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edephant:
There is a cm 7.2 from today. Two days ago i tried the rom from 01/25.

The camera-picture was inverted and the video-playback was very slow.

Is the hardware acceleration working?

Has the inverted camera been fixed?

Which bugs do i have to expect?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cristianosite:
The best rom I've ever used was CM7.2 nightly from 12042011. Everything working perfect and battery record of 2 days and 8 hours. Now I'm using CM9/ICS nightly from 02042012 by Epsylon3, however, there is no camera for red lens (my case), no radio and some other issues. But I'm very happy to use Android 4.0.3 on my Defy.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nooblar:
Cm7.2 plus ice theme for cm7...better than cm9 ATM...performance ..functions & stability
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zoppp:
Im sort of confused which I should pick. Im currently using faux's 0.13 kernal for stock @1. 4 ghz. Which kernal is the best when it comes to battery life, performance and stability?

Sent from my G2X
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
That's really unknown. This phone differs too much from one to another.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zoppp:
Okay, but what is your opinion?

Sent from my G2X
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
If your phone doesn't have issues with it, Trinity ELP is best for battery.

If your phone SOD's, crashes, won't boot, etc... don't ***** to morfic, just try a different kernel. Any problems you have are typically due to a phone's incapability to use various settings, not the settings kernels themselves.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zoppp:
I just flashed trinity and when i booted into phoenixblood my phone freezes. I think I will be sticking with faux's kernal.

Sent from my G2X
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cguilford:
I've tried them both, I just switched to Trinity I was running faux and the battery life was outstanding.. trinity seems to preform a smidge better I think? But unsure on battery life yet, but seems to be worse on the battery so far.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nevrlow:
+1 trinity
[T-Mobile LG G2x] booma428:
Will fauxs stock/gb kernel work on weapon 3.0 ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
The only reason I stay on faux and don't bother to try other kernels is because faux allows me to play plants vs zombies on any rom :p.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iCraft:
There was a post in the general section on a Trinity vs faux benchmarkings.

Trinity won over every test they had, but only by a little.

I believe performance wise, Trinity is better, though some prefer faux.

Your choice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zoppp:
Ya that's what im using right now. I dont know I cannot stand CM based ROMS.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nevrlow:
Well i said trinity earlier. My gf flashed phoenixbloods v6 yesterday with faux123 kernel and its noticibly faster.

Sent From My Virtuous ICS Sensation
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yourwhiteshadow:
i'm running oyasumi kernel (based on faux123, undervolted and overclocked) with tsugi, and i get amazing battery life. 2-3 hours of use with max brightness and the battery barely went down to 95%.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tokentatortot:
Trinity for performance & Faux for battery life.... But honestly in my experience, trinity isn't sacrificing much battery life but you gain much better performance. I prefer Trinity TD158 oc'd to 1500. Best performance with better than stock battery life... Just try em all out, thats half the fun of flashing!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] arvonn:
+1

I've played with all the various kernels, and I agree with tokentatortot..

At least for my phone:

CM7 stock is decent all around, and better than the stock kernels.

Trinity T15 for maximum overclocking and max performance ( Quadrant over 5000)

Faux123's 0.48 is faster than stock, better battery life than Trinity and also slower than trinity.

Currently using PhoenixBlood 1.6 (Faux v.48 stock clock ) + V6 super charger.

I guess I'm not heavy duty user, as v6 supercharger does not seem to make things majorly different..

oddly, on my phone, the faux123 0.48 SV seems to have better battery life than faux123 0.48 UV kernel... go figure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snake42490:
Hey guys, title pretty much says it all. I have had problems with Beautiful Widgets. It keeps randomly force closing. It usually happens after I wake the phone up. It will say beautiful widget has stopped worked then force close. The widget keeps working and everything. Anyone have any ideas? I have tried uninstalling and installing it. Any other tricks you guys have. I know it says that it is supported. I am running Revolution HD. Stock Kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
Have you tried a different rom? Im on aokp and haven't had any force close issues
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snake42490:
No, I haven't tried a different rom. I will eventually be making my way to CM9, but wanted to wait another week or so. Nobody else on Rev HD is having issues with beautiful widgets. Which makes me think that it might be something with the application itself?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JJHunterx:
I haven't had any problems on gummy or CNA with multiple kernels. Clear cache and app data if that doesn't work; try to Uninstall/re install
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snake42490:
I uninstalled, then installed again still had issues. I then cleared app data and it worked. I noticed that when i created a new widget the weather animation was disabled. The secondi turned it on. The force closes started again. any ideas on why the animation would cause this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
did you get it from the market or somewhere else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
Weired. I used beautiful widgets on stock, aokp and apex with not problems whatsoever. Try wiping app data with titanium.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snake42490:
aahhh, finally got it. I ended up uninstalling the animation add on lol.. then re installing it. Beautiful widgets was using almost 100 megs of memory, now it's using 7 haha.... hope this helps someone if anyone else is having issues!

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] littleasian:
the built in clock app on the nexus is pretty pathetic. i'd like something along the lines of the iphone clock app or sgs2 clock app which includes alarm, stop watch, world clock, and a countdown egg timer.

are there any good replacement apps out there that would do this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smabbage:
If you like analog clocks, you can tinker with this one until the cows come home. Check it out.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MohamadKarbi:
I use polyclock as world clock and alarm clock. But use different app for stop watch and count down
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pabloweb:
There are many app that install a clock widget (es. I like Beautiful widget).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ignorantguru:
Clock Pro

Clock Pro is not pretty and a little slow, but it seems like it was specifically designed for folks looking for a replacement to the iPhone Clock app. I don't know, unfortunately, how many alarms it can take... but all the other features work alright.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Saleen777:
I've spent way too many hours trying to root my Inspire 4g. I'm using the ace hack kit. Yes I've read the effen manual and yes I've searched the forum, along with google and other forums. I've rebooted, tried multiple times to run the hack kit, and it never makes it all the way through. I also tried the flash method. The phone now has busy box installed and fastboot shows up, however fastboot freezes and will not let me select recovery. Also, at the top it stills says S-ON. I realize it needs to say S-OFF, but I cannot find any way to correct it. It seems like the hack kit is not finishing the install each time I try it. I end up having to pull the battery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Here is your little help....go back and re-read the OP of the hack kit thread. You will see in that first post and also mentioned sseveral times on here that they have an IRC chat that is usually staffed at all times. Please read and ask them for help in the irc. We do not need 50 threads like this opened every week.

I got your 10 char right here

I've tried a few times to access the IRC already. I have no idea how to use it. I looked up tutorials for it and I can't find one. Little help on how to chat?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
If you need help with the chatroom and are looking up tutorials.. rooting your phone is next level stuff and you should stop now. I'm not trying to be a jerk but seriously the chatroom is as easy as entering any user name, typing the verification code and hitting go. Stop now before you destroy your phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Saleen777:
I'm capable of working a computer. I created a user name, logged into the chat, yet I can't type or select anything. I'm running a mac is that a problem? I've tried safari and firefox. I just need a little help. So far people trying to talk like they are better than me or compare the size of their manhood doesn't exactly help. I asked a question in the correct location on the forum and all I'm looking for is some answers. If putting me down makes you feel "cool" then congrats. Thanks to anyone who would actually like to help me out a bit with the issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
Really? That's you're scathing retort, I'm just comparing manhood, thinking I'm better then you because I'm cool I have a rooted phone? Okay, you caught me? I confess. I'm sorry you got buttmad.

Let's start off with the basics, I notice you signed up in Feb 2011. That's about a year ago so I can understand you don't remember the rules you agreed to, which state you must search before opening a thread. I see your next comment coming, "but I did search, I stated I searched here and in other forums". O rly? I find it incredibly difficult to believe that you searched XDA and didn't come across a thread that pointed you to the IRC chatroom, because honestly that's where about 90% of these types of threads get referred to. That's the whole purpose for why Attn1 created it so that threads like this aren't created and that those who need help can get help immediately. Rooting is not a simple process, despite how easy Attn1 has made it, its also very easy to get jammed up. More times then not its user error from not reading enough. I'm willing to make that bet this is the case here as well since you didn't know there was an IRC chatroom, which is stated in the first post of the hack kit thread. It's laughable that this thread is going to turn into "please help me use the IRC chatroom".

BTW, I used the IRC chatroom a couple days ago using my Mac with no issue so its something you're doing or something your computer is doing, which is going to be pretty hard to diagnose from all the way over here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
I agree with the guys here. Before moving into the rooting direction, you always have to make sure that in case anything goes wrong you will be able to fix it. It has nothing to do with being a man or anything, what Bacon tells you is that in order to succeed you need to know what you are doing. Anyway, and before you panic, my guess is that your SD card is not working properly. Try a different card and it will probably work. That same thing happened to me, and still happens when I boot into hboot. Seems, that the stock sdcard has some issues to be read in bootloader.

But again, you shouldn´t argue with the guys here, the are 100% right, you must ensure you will be able to achive your goal before doing anything at all....:cool:
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
well said bacon. makes me think of "i can drive a car so i must be able to build one" when you get people like this.

I knew nothing about rooting when i came here, had pages and pages bookmarked with reading material. the 'what ifs' for when things go wrong, any error code that the hack kit spit out i googled and most cases brought me to a tutorial thread here. best case tho is irc, if you need help using irc then like bacon said, rooting a phone is much harder because if you cant search for something you sure arent going to be very good playing in linux.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
hahahaha, agreed man. I understand that the OP has found himself in a frustrating position but while he says he searched and did the proper research, his actions say something different. We tell him where to look for the best advice possible and he can't figure out. This is a development site mixed with some help me and tutorial information but this isn't a hold my hand into the chatroom and explain how it works site.

Like you, I had no idea what I was doing at first..I believe Gene or CW gave me the best advice when I first started...Research better ya moron..come to think of it that sounds a lot like CW :eek::eek: I keed I keeeed Chris, but seriously that comment has made the world of difference and the reason why I followed Chris to Absolution..the guy hasn't steered me wrong yet..except for the steelers.
