[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salfalot:
I knew that MatDroid, like I sayd in my topic start (at least I tried too).. However my MD5sum did not match with the MD5sum from alpharev, so I was a bit scared to do it!

That is why I asked in here if someone knew why they don't match or if someone could make me mine.. :-) I'd prefer to be able to make my own, however when the MD5sums don't match I'm not going to try it xD
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
Quoting Thalamus... So I guess the hexdump is the thing you need to check as the MD Sum will not work to verify if it works.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salfalot:
Hmm that makes a lot of sense :P I Overread I guess.. I just assumed that when you open the program it says to check the bravo_alpha, with the other program which you get by that rar file, and that I could do the same with the other Hboot's from alpharev website!

Other question will follow, I'm going to look it up anyways, how can I make a hexdump xD

Owh yeah and thanks kotag82! I'll try it tonight, just had a lot of tests at school :-/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
I use an MDSum checker. There is one I use that I got from portableapps.com. Pretty useful if you quickly wanna check mdsums of roms, hboots and whatnot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salfalot:
I figured it out, like stankyou sayd.. I did indeed had to compare them in a hex editor!

And everything has to be matching to let it be the same, I made a Hboot with the exact same label and partition layout and now the hex files between mine and the alpharev Hboot match :D I did it with a program called HxD hex editor, which I got from a tip of t-minik. With that program you can compare hex files from one file with hex files from another file!

Thanks everybody who helped!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Use the thanks-button to honor the help. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salfalot:
Will do that ;-)

Anyways now the hboot works and that problem is solved.. I still got my IP adress issue! I really don't understand it :-/

The strange thing is when I use the exact same ROM with a stock Hboot everything just simply works! If I just knew where to find my problem.. I think it is in the updater script, because Coolexe used the cache as a partition, but I simply just don't know for sure..

Ok I feel really stupid right now! I made a partition of 215MB and everything just worked :-) Even though the ROM booted with 210MB I think it didn't have enough room after all..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
Is there some way to create a hboot with cache partition less than 5mb? The tool linked here only allows partition to be 5mb at minimum. I do not need cache at all because of scripts I'm using.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Your rom will use that cache partition, or your recovery. That's why it needs to be there.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
Ok, but I suppose I could go down to 1 or 2mb, no?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dethrat:
Most roms use between 1-3MB of cache better to have slightly more

Plus are you really that desperate for a couple of MB? Lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
If you customise the rom to what you exactly need, then every MB makes a difference. Especially on JB.

[General Questions and Answers] thebigcheese44:
So, I have wanted to be able to mess around with phones for a while, and figured this could be a good place to start.

First: I do not use a smartphone at the moment. I am cheap and use a Pantech GoPhone. I had a US Cellular (CDMA :mad:) LG Optimus U but decided I wanted a full keyboard phone and service outside of my area.

Anyways, I want to know if my GoPhone SIM Card will work in a Blackberry or an Android device, that is either unlocked or locked. I need to do this WITHOUT buying the smartphone data service for an extra 25 bucks a month.

Also, I need to know how to unlock stuff. I want to be able to buy a phone on eBay or something and unlock it and flip it around and sell it for more.

Thanks guys!

[General Questions and Answers] Jesushaxyou:
You can put your SIM card into any other AT&T branded smartphone. Assuming it's a 3g card, anyway. As for the data plan? AT&T will eventually realize you're on their network with a smartphone without a data plan. You basically need to buy it.

EDIT: With unlocking phones, they're all different. You would really need to go to the specific device's subforum here and check out how to do it.
[General Questions and Answers] Deez2312:
some noob questions

I hear that AT&T has some software to detect your device and read your usage.There are ways to get around this it depends on the device ,you can mask your imei for instance so they can't detect the type of device your using ,works on a few pads with voice comm

capabilities such as the mediapad (springboard in the U.S)

As for unlocking ..depends on the manufacturer as they are all different

[Motorola Photon 4G] flyguy914:
I have alpha 19 and i get random reboots alot, i wiped data and cash twice I dont know why this is happening please help
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
Keyword, "alpha" its expected to have issues. all phones will probably behave a little differently.

But there are some things id do just to ensure the best scenario...

1) Id wipe the unit just as listed in the first post of the thread on CM9.

2) id flash the A19 again and then the gapps just as the instructions show.

3) id also use a CPU app and see if your phone is not playing friendly with the overclock and move it back down to 1000 and see what happens.

There will be random reboots with alphas and others are experiencing the same, but making sure you have a clean load and friendly CPU levels are some of the big players that can ensure you the best stability.

hope this helps and you are able to enjoy CM9 bc its shweet!
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
When I played with a19, it did reboot a bit on me. It's in alpha stage so it's still kinda buggy...I would suggest flashing the ROM again on top of itself and reboot manually a couple times and let it "settle". I've gone back to CM7 for the time being.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Reboots are caused by mismatching code. Because we don't have an ics source base to work with the kernel tends to panic and reboot

Hi there, I do own a lot of gameloft games, and already ported lots of them to atrix editing the apk in apk manager. However, some of the games cannot go in fullscreen, and I do know that is possible to change the scripts of the decompiled gameloft.apk to be 960x540 native resolution. I already read lots and lots of tutorials and all point to the same way:

Put the apk in apk manager

decompile

open projetcs\game\smali\......\ml\GameRenderer.smali with notepad

edit it

compile back

sign and install

However, they dont really explian what i should edit it and how, the best I did find was this:

const/4 v1, 0x1

or

const/2 v2, 0x1

And when there is, there is only the cont/4 vX

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winesh:
Hello every one,

I am having this strange "problem" with the new version of sebas's runnymede 5.0.4. My battery dropped 40 % in less then 3 hours. The phone was almost constantly on, but still i find it very strange. Because with my previous sebas rom (runneymede 3.0.4) I reached about 8 to 10 hours in 40% (also constant on).

Is there something wrong ?

It could be that it is a kernel problem, went from snq to droidzones (claimed to be battery "efficient").

Any advice from the experts ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
You can try to flash the snq kernel and see if it helps. I was at the end of the day on 49 % on pretty heavy use ( roundabout 12 hours ).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winesh:
Thnx, i will certainly try that after a whil (ill give it a week).

Swyped on my Htc Desire running on Supernova Extreme - Gingerbread goodness with 2 GB of Internal memory
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
There are a lot of other factors influencing a battery drain. Most influential among those are settings applied while using the kernel, especially the governor (smartassv2 is recommended on mine), whether he has background processes which have wakelocks, too much background syncing or waking which prevents deep sleep mode where battery power is supposed to be saved. In fact these are prime suspects to be investigated whenever a kernel known to be battery friendly gives issues for an isolated number of cases. Switching the kernel is not going to work magic on all the other issues which he might actually be facing. Hope that makes sense. Something to keep in mind next time you hear someone recommend swapping a kernel. And for the record, you didn't even ask what frequencies, voltages and governor he's enabled. Installing a ROM/kernel is only part of the process, you have to tell it what you want.

This makes a lot htcsense :p But i didnt try any of that (governor,freq and voltages). I just installed the rom and kept al the settings basic. I didnt change anything. But still this sudden drain is strange, because i never changed something. I always only installed the rom. My usage intensity didnt change. So what explains the sudden drain.

What settings do you recommend for governor, freq and voltages.

Or maybe i should just switch back to v3.0.4. i didnt see any noticable changes (in the rom functions).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Smartassv2 governor, keep others the same. Identify partial wakelocks with this app: Better battery stats, disable some of the background processes which take wakelocks from starting up.

Keep screen settings in auto brightness, don't overclock. Should help. Advanced users could of course reduce voltages for each frequency in steps. That would affect performance of course.. I can't comment on what else was changed in your ROM, as I've never used it.

Hi

My sister's G2 got wet and the lcd screen stopped working. The capacitive buttons, digitizer, and physical keyboard work fine.

However, someone took the phone apart before I came home and tried to diagnose the problem. I believe they may have damaged one of the connectors on the motherboard by bending (and perhaps breaking) some pins. I have attached a picture.

Should I go ahead and replace the lcd or is this damage just too much? The phone works save for the screen.

From physical appearance, it looks like the micro-sd card connector is spoilt, according to here. (Coincidentally, the touch panel ribbon is next to the Micro-SD connector)

After water damage, and probably some other motherboard faults resulting from opening the phone up without professional help, many things could've been probably either short circuited or damaged, besides the faulty connector. I'm not sure whether the phone will still boot up properly after these problems, let alone the screen not functioning.

I don't know about you, but if that happened to me, i think its best to get help from a professional or your service center.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohamb5d:
Thanks for the advice and the reply. I'll consider seeking some techs in the area.

However, the phone boots up and the backlight turn behind the capactive buttons as well as the physical keyboard. The digitizer works because I can swipe across the screen (even though I can't see) and feel the vibration of unlocking the home screen. Also, the volume rocker works as well as the audio.

So, I may have gotten lucky. But it appears the microsd connector is damaged (not by water - by a person). I wonder if the top pins are just tension pins?
