[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morvyman:
Any help/advice would be appreciated, thank-you!

Mine was purchased Mar/11, I had unlocked bootloader, and running Darkside ROM, all was good.

Then haptic feedback/vibration started cutting in/out.

Tried going back to CM7, Aura... no resolution. Read on xda re: some people having hardware issues with vibe mechanism, so loaded up NFHimself's Gobstopper (thanks!) to make phone appear as stock as possible, and took in to Bell for service. Came back from Motorola repair shop, vibes fixed, running GB 2.3.6. Battery life absolutely sucks, which is what started me down this whole road of custom ROMs in first place!! As I said, Darkside was awesome, almost double battery life for same usage.

So... I want to re-unlock and get going again, really unsure where to start. Some have said follow exact same steps and unlocking first time, others say no need to repeat fastboot oem unlock, and others say just jump in at flashing a custom (Romracers) recovery??

I am leery of using RSDlite and IHOP again, heard bad things about messing with .sbf files after phones software has been updated??

I read another thread on here about antifuses, and such, not sure if that's the case, but for sure the unlocked message no longer appears during boot.

The intro on NFHimslelf's Froyo Gobstopper thread alludes to the fact that you need to RE-unlock after flashing it, and now for sure after Motorola techs updated phone, so... kindly, where should I start &/or what steps should I skip to get back to where I was without bricking??

Thanks very much!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
Just flash the IHOP unlock SBF. Even if it reports as failing the install just pull the battery then reboot. Should see unlocked on the boot screen. Then boot to fastboot, flash recovery, reboot to recovery and flash your ROM or backup.

[HTC Sensation] SensationNation:
Hello there everyone. I have many widgets that I use on my device, and each of them come with different sizes. Because of that, it takes forever to scroll through all of them, even when in reality, I only have 20 different ones in total (But if each has 10 sizes, it adds up...) I found an app that combines them, but it requires root. (Or does it? Here.) I believe that Cyanogen does this on it's own, but I don't want to root my phone or change ROMs because I would be unable to pay for a new phone if something were to go wrong, nor do I have a spare to get me by if it was bricked. I know apps like WidgetLocker override stock apps without root, is there a way to do that with the widget selector?

Also, is the selector a function of the launcher, not the operating system? I'm using GoLauncher if that makes a difference.

Thank you very much.
[HTC Sensation] SensationNation:
So it is not possible to achieve the picker I want without root?

In that case, is there a foolproof, 100% successful way to root and change roms? All of the ROM threads I see have endless posts of bugs, things not working, and bricked phones. They also throw around lots of terms (Like flash this... But to where?) without explanations for noobs like me.

Can anyone help me out?
[HTC Sensation] Flashben:
Hi there,

Think you can try Golauncher Pro, it let's you to custom the number of icon you can put on the home screens (default 4 by 4 ) and also lets you to resize the widgets.. hope that's what you are looking for.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pookieguy:
Hello all,

Posting this after running into countless Android Market issues today when attempting to purchase a number of apps.

I keep getting the following error with some developers/vendors...

"We're sorry. This seller is currently unable to accept orders. Please try again later or contact Google Checkout support."

I keep trying, but getting the same when purchasing a number of apps from different sources. Is it because I was purchasing some too quickly? Is it an issue on my end or something to do with the developer account? I googled this and most state it is an issue on their end.

Any way around this annoying problem?

Thanks,

Hi all,

I know there is a WSJ app similar to the iPad edition for android tablets. I see that it is downloadable on the TFP running HC but mine is updated to ICS and it will not allow it due to incompatibility. Is there any way for me to get this app on the TFP running ICS?

Thanks a ton

*I originally was planning to post this in the themes/apps forum but since it is a question I posted here in Q&A
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] od1235:
Thanks, I did that. But on my previous TFP I downloaded it while running HC and when I upgraded to ICS, it was still there and I was able to use it. I exchanged that TFP though because of issues and did not have WSJ installed when this one was updated to ICS so I was wondering if there was a way of downloading the app and loading it manually onto the TFP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] od1235:
Found a link to an old post that had the apk and I was able to send it to my TFP.

The market ics app is very slow and sluggish, here's what i did. I've a htc amaze & the WSJ app for that is tight & light so I copied my titanium backup to the microSD and restored it on the prime, it works just fine. Of course you need root to do this. There are a bunch of other apps I did this way and for the most part they almost all work.
[EVO Shift 4G General] notsointeresting:
Hello fellow Shifters.

Well my mother recently ordered an EVO (without consulting me) thinking it was "like mine with the keyboard" and she does not like it.

Therefore I told her I would take it and swap it for my Shift.

So as of now, I am no longer in ownership of a Shift and will be have an OG EVO as my "Upgraded phone" which I probably won't use for too much longer.

Anyway this is really my Semi-Goodbye and Good luck post. I will obviously not remain as active in these threads but I can't ever fully leave. Plus I think the EVO4G users are too spoiled and any Themes or Mods I make will be for this phone probably.

I want to say thanks to so many people. Strapped365, Prboy1969 , Drob311,BrandoKC, aamikam, newtoroot,zenulator, Dread 7us and so many others that have helped me and the whole shift community out. There are really way to many to name and you all know who you are.

TL;DR: New phone, you are all amazing, see you around, good luck, hope to make more theme's and mods for you all

And if you are looking for a sense rom, mik's roms are available, but my wife has been running Tommy Tomatoes classic evo rom (very similar to a mik rom), it runs awesome and Tommy keeps up to date on it as well. The over abundance of roms is ridiculous for the og evo...

Salvage mod is a bad ass rom though... :)

I'll check out mikG again to see if it does, im on salvage mod right now and i gotta say I think it's the best AOSP rom I have ever run. Although the phone is noticeably slower than the shift.. And can only overclock to 1.2ghz? C'mon lol. And yea I still visit the Shift threads everyday. Over here it actually feels like a community while the EVO threads kind of just feel like a resource. But im definitley gonna try and keep up with my themes over here

[HTC EVO 3D] bballer71418:
Am I the only one impressed by the new standard Motorola has done with the Razor Maxx? I don't necessarily like the unremovable back but for a 3000+ mah battery I think its a small sacrifice lol. I used to have a 3000mah extended battery on my og evo and it made the phone huge! I really hope other companies can expand on battery technology and improved SOC. I would love to see 2012 be the year of 24 hour battery life be something normal.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
That kinda sucks if you could swap out the battery be nice. Would blow to have a shot battery and couldn't pull it.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmtdan:
Lol or getting stuck in a bootloop and having to wait for the phone to die!
[HTC EVO 3D] sprintuser1977:
Un removeable battery is no no imo. Too many issues could arise. They better watch out or Apple will sue them

From the giant: Galaxy Note
[HTC EVO 3D] aaronagis:
Yeahhh, that would be pretty lame not being able to do battery pulls, especially if you are into experimenting with develpment stuff... Being stuck in a bootloop sounds horrible.
[HTC EVO 3D] ncfastls1:
I agree, I think more manufacturers should be going this route as my biggest complaint is battery life. But like others said, unremovable battery is a deal breaker. There's been too many times that I had to pull the battery when either my phone completely froze, wouldn't boot past the splash screen, or got stuck in a boot loop.
[HTC EVO 3D] EniGmA1987:
So I guess none of you know you can hold power + vol up + vol down for 4 or 5 seconds and the phone does an instant force restart no matter what? It is built into the hardware, much like holding the power button on a PC that is frozen for 4 seconds does a force shutoff. You dont need to pull a battery for any reason
[HTC EVO 3D] rhonal89:
I always try to do this but never end up working for me.

[HTC EVO 3D] bballer71418:
This is what I do every time. It works if you can get it once it gets easier. Unfortunately I don't think removable 3000+ mah batteries are in the near future. I'm not sure about anybody else but can you imagine a quad core 20+ hour battery life phone? Now that's the technology I'm looking for. Once more people focus more on battery technology a truly 'perfect' phone will be in reach :)
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Well if you're going to develop, you'd have ADB with you and should be able to easily reboot the phone into recovery or whatever through there. 3000mah batteries built into the case but still remove the case is a good idea. We've, however, gotten out as much as we could from li-ion so it's really time for a new type of battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Can you get into recovery by doing this?

Just grab the 2.3.3 rom from sammobile.com - the advantage of using stock is that it is unlocked. 3 lock all of their phones, and I wouldn't be suprized if they were using CarrierIQ.

But three has an update I want 2.3.6
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] PJ147:
Dont think youll find it anywhere! I looked everywhere.

You have several options:-

1 - Install a CWM backup (if you made one - dont forget to format the filesystem back)

2 - Flash froyo and get kies to update.

3- flash directly 2.3.6 which can be found on sammobile.com there is virtually no difference in that and the 3 branded version. (the extra apps can be downloaded from market)

having spoken to 3 on numerous occasions they do tweak the firmware a little but dont lock it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jamielawther:
I was in the same position.. Three wont give out their rom so I told them to stuff themselves. I went and flashed 2.3.3 XEU and it works perfectly. No Three bloatware, I used to have a backup but deleted it because my CSC was stuck on FOP for no reason whatsoever.. Hope I helped. XEU really is the way to go :) For repairs I think you can still go to Samsung with it. P.s. Rickywyatts HTC style rom is based on 3's rom :)

Seems like its a bad partitioning of internal storage and from a quick search, there isn't one solution to fix all.

Did you use repartition and a 512 pit file with the stock rom? if not you should try it.

and I read somewhere after flashing that, they used this procedure http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=984140

and got it working again.

Also, did you have any lagfixes on? like ext4?, if yes then you should disable the lagfixes before flashing any stock rom. I guess it could be done with flashing a kernel with the option of lagfixes on/off in the recovery menu...

It was straight stock no alterations whatsoever.

Managed to get 2.3.6 on it with a cwm bootloader, cant find internal sd but can find external sd, tried to update to ics because it was on my external sd from before.

So after the ota update I started going through all of my aplications and clearing cache and while on the camera app I accidentally erased data like an idiot. "Doh!" Well after doing that I paniced and went to camera to see if all was well but unfortunately not. Everytime I enter it it shows for about 2seconds then shuts with no sign at all. No force close message or anything. And if I open it real fast, press menu button and keep it like that, the whole screen flickers blue until I press home twice. Now I have to click in camera,exit real fast, then enter again for it to work. And if I kill it in task manager ( in the quick settings tab) I have to repeat it again. So any ideas to make it work normal again, or has anyone had this done yet? Any feedback would be appreciated.
