[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Months ago I upgraded my metro PCS huawei ascend from a 2.1 to 2.2 froyo (the metro PCS version) through wifi.(Phone is rooted) Now I'd like to upgrade to 2.3 CM7 gingerbread. Im really impressed with the added features,UI, etc. I've seen different ROM versions out there and many installation how-to's. I already installed 3 different CM7 roms on my sd card-including a more recent one i haven't listed (no PC, using turbo downloader from market). I don't know which one of these will run smooth and is compatible with my device→ CM7-Ascend-05142011 -signed.zip , CM7.1RC1-Ascend-07272011_signed.zip, dont know which to run, I don't wanna end up doing more harm then good since I don't have a PC or USB cable. Can someone please give me step by step instructions on how to upgrade my (metro pcs) huawei ascend m860 to 2.3 gingerbread straight from my phone (with the right ROM), from what I've heard it can be done I, just really need it to work right the first time... [When using rom manager and trying to run clockworkmod recovery, a different phone model than then one i have shows up,why is that?] I know many of you are knowledgeable in this area. Thank you :)

Samsung Galaxy S running ICS 12

For some reason all my calls go straight to voice mail with no notification on the handset. This started in ICS version 11 so I upped to V12 and all was good, that is until I ran Titanium back up and restored my settings. I've reinstalled ICS 4 times now checking fewer and fewer items to be restored but it still happens.

I can't find the voice mail setting that would allow me to change this feature/bug so a heads up there would help. Just exactly which box to leave unchecked in Titanium would also be a great help.

Also, does changing to the GB boot loader change the boot time?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

Jon
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rBGH:
My solution has been to only restore apps and manually configure the rest. It's a nuisance to have lost all my text history but that and contacts were the only thing I was trying to restore. Contacts are backed up to the sim card so no real loss. Once I have it dialed in, I'm going to make another back up. Don't really know what else to do.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alopos:
Hello to everyone, I've recently started searching to buy a new phone and I saw Galaxy S and Galaxy S Plus. I saw that GS+ is 40% faster than the original one but I also heard that the GS consumes less RAM and that the GS+ lags a lot more.

Also, I saw that 9000 has a wider community and support and that it even has more payable games from gameloft than the 9001!

And so, I'm a bit confused, that's why I'm asking for advice. Thanks a lot in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annqx:
hi,

it really depends on whether we get ics ported for sgs+ or not.

if you just compare the hardware of both sgs+ will easily win, but the community is much bigger for sgs (we neither have any finished cm7 port nor ics, but both are maybe coming).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alopos:
Thanks for your answer! I also happened to see people say that GS+ lags more than the original GS (both on GB) and people saying that it looks like samsung doesn't give much support to it, unlike the GS. That's what has been making me wonder.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spy14:
If you are not planning to upgrade from stock rom(wich I dont advise) you should go with the SGS+.

Like annqx said there is a much better communitx for SGS, there are a lot more roms for it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alopos:
Sorry for my late reply, I had internet issues the whole week, anyway, I see, maybe then I'm going for the SGS+, since it's newer, I believe it will get more popular in the future. Thanks a lot for your answers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadude:
Not sure it will get that much more popular. Remember galaxy s was top end phone at one point. Now replaced by s2, and soon s3. Just my opinion but could be wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veki19:
Well having used both phones and still using S version i would personaly say S as you already know about modding obviously being part of this community .

S+ is better on paper and thats what it only is , unless some drastic change in modding com and suddenly many devs appear for S+...

S with CM7/9 is just to good of phone ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] change63:
I'm satisfied with my S Plus. In my opinion it is a good fast phone :)

And not to forget, GPS is better in the S Plus, many people had problems on that with the SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dfolt:
I9000 is better than I9001 because it have better dev support, better gpu and cpu :).

I have my KF rooted and the aneroid market installed and running, and Google apps installed. Is there a way to get my Google calendar to sync to my kindle?
[Kindle Fire General] elephant007:
Which Google apps do you have installed, do you have your Gmail synced? That should allow you to sync your calendar

Go into your "Account & Sync Settings" and make sure calendar is checked marked

[Kindle Fire General] putney1477:
Account and sync settings on my computer? On the kindle there is no account and sync settings. Yes I have Gmail synced on my kf.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
as far as i know you have to add GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk to system/app - set permissions like the others and reboot - then gmail mail & calender sync should work ...
[Kindle Fire General] ontwowheels:
There is an account sync settings app you can get from the market, out it is included in the iffy utility. You also need the calendar sync adapter which you can get from another Android device or the iffy utility.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
there are a lot of settings on the kf we cannot access but there is a app on the market called "any cut" - with this app you can link the hidden settings to a shortcut on the desktop - any cut -> new shortcut -> activity -> Account & Sync Settings

there are a lot of others like keyboard, display, search ...
[Kindle Fire General] putney1477:
I tried the any cut app and now I have it all.set up. But I think you are right about the apks. Do you know where I can get them? And better yet..... what do I do with them? All I have done is root my kindle and followed the you tube video in how to get the market on my kindle.
[Kindle Fire General] ags29:
I think the calendar files you're looking for might be in the gapps.zip file from this thread. Just follow the instructions.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19446766
[Kindle Fire General] elephant007:
Here's the sync settings app, install this and then you can add your gmail account and etc

I've also attached the Google Calendar in case you might need it, you can install all of them
[Kindle Fire General] putney1477:
Awesome! Thanks. It seems that I am no longer rooted?! Is it possible that while my 3 year old was playing around with my kf she unrooted it? Odd....my android marketplace still works, its just that root checker is saying I am no longer rooted. Will start from scratch in the morning.

Thanks again.

[Kindle Fire General] ontwowheels:
Hmmm, did you have root access after you received the 6.2.2. update?
[Kindle Fire General] elephant007:
There's no need to be rooted in order to install the apks I provided. You may have become unrooted because you finally received the newest update, it's possible I don't know if that is why though

[Acer Iconia A500] Spo22a:
I've had my a500 for a while now and thought i would have a go at rooting it (currently own a rooted HP TP and a SGS). . .

But obviously im wanting to do all my homework before plunging in (im sure like others, there have been some close calls and tense moments).

Unfortunately the external sd card slot of my A500 doesnt work. . im not sure why, but every time i insert an sd card in it wont "click" in.. it just keeps springing back out. .

anyways, so i've had a look at this post:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1276227

and worked out that i can use Method 1 which doesnt require an external sd card. . .this will enable me to get back down to 3.0.1 after which i can run Iconiaroot and then Acer Recovery Installer from the market.

My question is, will not having an external sd card prevent me from anything further? Other than the obvious storage. . .

I'm presuming that after rooting i can transfer a new ROM to the internal sd storage via usb or straight download and flash via CWM?
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
Yes, latest recovery (1.7.1) from thor supports flashing from internal memory. But in order to update the one that is installed with ACER Recovery Installer from Market (1. 3.4) you still need a sd card or a USB drive. Try if CWM from the market can update itself with the use of a USB drive. If that doesn't work the only other way to install the latest recovery on a rooted tab without sd card would be with ADB and terminal with is not such a big headache after all. Read instructions on tegraowners in the recovery section.

As for the reverting, you can do exactly as you have planned or you can use timmyDean 's method which will flash directly a rooted stock 3.2.1 ROM - haven't tried it myself but seems more elegant :) He still uses the euu tool but replaced the 3.0.1 image with a rooted stock 3.2.1 which will save you some time and efforts.

[Acer Iconia A500] Spo22a:
cool. .thanks for that. . that's very helpful.

one another question. . .if i did install via the ACER recovery installer, would i not be able to update CWM via ROM Manager? (i.e. without the need for sd card or USB altogether?)

Ok, I went back and recompressed the zip file. This time it is actually compressed not in the store file method you need to have it work. Download it here https://www.box.net/shared/mvn3hqfk1saape6tlgq7. This is actually a good time for me to start using some of the 50 gb that I got for free from box. So after you download it you will need to compress it again.

And how would the person you were selling it to know that the bootloader was unlocked unless you told them or they were clued up?

Hi.

I own a galaxy nexus from Verizon.

I wanted to know if I can use it with TMobile. I am moving, and Verizon obviously will not let me cancel my plan, as they do have coverage in my new location (but it's horrible!).

I know that the Galaxy Nexus is penta-band and supports Tmobile 4G network and will work with T-mobile.

The question is - is it doable? If so, what is it that I need? Just an unlock code?

Any info will be very welcomed and greatly thanked for!

Ok, I have an issue with the capacitive back & sometimes the search button activating at randome, mostly when the keyboard is open, sometimes having my hand on the right side makes it worse & sometimes it doesn't. I have had this issue for a long time, but it seems to be getting worse.

I have never taken an Epic apart.

And what is my best bet to correct this?

1. About Swap

I've used latest nAa kernel and minicm7 for a while, but something bugs me..

It says that nAa kernel has "Swap" function. CUrious, I tried several methods.

Firstly, I tried to use swapper from android market. Seems like it's no use, since typing "free" on terminal emulator shows "0" for swapping (swap data is created already on my SD card). Not working, I uninstalled it.

Then, somebody told me to use swapper 2 since it's working nicely on him. Strangely enough, my market said it's not compatible with my phone.

Third, I tried to create a linux swap file on my SD card with 200 MB size using partition manager. And my phone runs lag like hell. So, I finally delete the partition again and wipe factory reset etc.

My question is : How do I turn swap things on ?

2. About Ext4

Until recently (before I created linux swap partition on my SD card and finally erased it again), I never create an ext4 partition on my SD card. Now, I'm trying to use it. What is the difference between using an ext4 partition and not ?

Thank you very much for your answer :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] OmegaRED^:
Here's the problem.

Apps2SD

SD swap files

SD cache files

All this adds up in total bandwidth use.

And then the speeds when reading and writing from the card are not really up to the task.

Even my Big x10i was not up to the task with a class 8 SD

The best would be for developers to partition a small piece of 'internal' storage to allow for a swap file.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] StardustGeass:
I see then...

So, you're suggesting me to not use swap files ? ok then, thank you for your explanation and opinion :)
