[T-Mobile LG G2x] tucker91:
Hello all, I just got a G2X and am super stoked about it. I have been using a blackberry storm for past 3 years and wanted an android phone. I was able to get it brand new for 290. I am on the 60/month unlimited everything no contract plan from TMobile (great deal).

I am in the IT industry (QA Analyst) but have never been a hardware guy or really to much into cell phones and modding but I am super excited to get it rolling.

Suggestions on the path to take on getting my G2X to optimal performance? Currently running Gingerbread and already installed some apps I'd rather not wipe and redownload but will if I have to.

Also I get no service in my lab, one of the selling points for me on the phone was the wi-fi feature for calling and what not. Does wifi work for texting as well? I turned it on but it doesnt seem to be working to well.

Thanks for the help and I am going to continue poking around to learn on my own so that I can help others in the future.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rogerski1:
IMO, the g2x must be rooted to achieve optimal performance. I had so many issues, I took the plunge and put Phoenix blood on it( now Hellfire Phoenix). It is stable, fast, and doesn't require a battery pull twice a day. I use wifi calling in my basement and it does texting just fine. You can also sign up for a free Google voice number for free texting, voicemail, and can be used as voip. You can also put on an overclockable kernel for extra "umph".

[Motorola Droid Bionic] DGSafewright:
Yesterday my Droid Bionic received the stock 902 OTA update. Prior to the update it was running 893. I had rooted the phone via the manual Zerg method. However after this update I no longer have root. The manual Zerg method does not appear to be working after the update to 902. During step 2 after typing ./zerg it gives the error message "Cannot copy boomsh.: Permission denied". ADB is installed on my computer. Is the only way to obtain root after the 902 OTA update to flash back to stock then ForeverRoot?

Thank You,

DGSafewright

[Motorola Droid Bionic] greeneink:
You need to run the 4ever root after the zerg rush manual root. You'll have to go back down to forever root if you want it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Zanzaras:
Is there a "best" method to do that from .902?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bhp117:
I don't think there's any other way other than going back to 893 and make sure you have forever root from p3 as i heard other keep root scripts/apps weren't reliable

Many people have this issue too when they manual update to 901 and no1 figure out how to root while on 901

Only way is to go back to 893 - root - forever root

Many people tend to misunderstand when they manual root 893 they'll also have forever root its 2 separate thing
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lawtalking:
What I did was took 893 FZX file, unzip it, and then take the 902update file, unzip it, and copy the cdt.bin file from 902 to the 893 FZX. I then ran that with RSD 5.6, and that brought me back to 893. I then used rota893 from this thread http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13807-root-ota-55893-aka-rota893/

That gave me 4ever root, and then I used stock recovery to run 902update. Everything worked for me.

But be warned that RSD will wipe the internal sdcard. Follow this post to avoid wiping.

My phone was bricked with a "Invalid CG" message it would not even boot up. This did not happen until the 902 update. I had to follow the guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433783 and run the fix.bat to get it working again.

I'm assuming the FXZ file you used was the one from Daywalker04? Just replace the CDT.bin file with the one from the version you are currently running.

Did forever root on 893, then just updated to 902 and also lost root.

My question is, can I just flash my stock 893 backup?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lawtalking:
Not sure. I used RSD to flash back to 893, then ran rota893.

When using RSD you must take the cdt.bin file from the 902update file and put it in the FZX file for 5.893.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] YeloSub7:
Maybe moving the ctd.bin file from the .902 update to my stock .893 android and flashing that?

Just don't have computer access right now and want to fiddle around...

EDIT: I think I answered my own question. I think the cdt.bin file only applies to updates and not a nandroid. But I would still appreciate some clarification. Thanks all so far.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] FAUguy:
Had .893 on the Bionic and it was rooted with the command line method from:

http://www.mydroidworld.com/topic/9...-upgrade-path/page__view__findpost__p__103640

Now it has the .902 OTA update and lost root in the process.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] B.E.McAllister:
No, you can not flash a back up because it is for a different system number and more importantly a different radio. The easiest way is to make sure your .902 file is on your sd card then use p3's bionic pathsaver file with bbb's fix extracted in it. Run bbbrunme and it will take you back and also forever root you. It will then leave you in stock recovery where you well first update 893 then your 902 file back to back without a reboot, you will ignore the 901 update file. Good luck
[Motorola Droid Bionic] YeloSub7:
Thanks for the reply... so here is my dilemma...

Ok so I was on .893 with 4ever root via tehRoot 1.1

I updated to .902 and lost root for some reason.

Trying to go back to .893 (even tried .886) via the .893 FXZ. I downloaded the latest drivers (the same drivers worked to root in .893 originally, so I know they are that works). Using RSD I have tried flashing a dozen times and it only gets to flashing 1/22 for a few minutes, and then FAILS saying...

"Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. 1/22 flash mbm "allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin" -> USB error occured while reading/writing.; phone connected."

Please help!! My goal is to be at .902 with root.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
Have you tried path saver?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] YeloSub7:
yes... found the problem

I tried different USB ports with no luck. Tried it on my wifes laptop and BAM! It worked! I am now seeing the official OTA for .902 on the phone. Going to flash this instead of the leaked .902. Hopefully I keep root this time!

EDIT: IT worked this time! Now at .902 with root. Thanks for all who helped develop for the BIONIC!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Skyroket:
Just for the record, you

can

restore different systems to different radio firmwares. I did it back when we were messing around with the 5.7.893 radio and I restored a Liberty ROM backup I made on 5.5.886. There was no method of downgrading the radio firmware at that time so I didn't bother. I had 5.5.886 system and whatever radio came with 5.7.893.

Don't quote me on those version numbers... that was back in September I think, so my memory is a bit hazy that far back.

New root exploit

Do a search for rooting droid 4... its called motofail... at least that's what Dan is calling it...

I was in the same boat as all of you... I had even forever rooted and still lost root.

So I tried this method and it worked like a charm... and quickly... much more quickly then zerg.

Hope this helps!

Ok maybe i'm missing something here. I updated to .902 and need to get back to .893. Trying to use RSD to fxz i get failed flashing process 6/22 having to do with the cdt.bin file.

From what I understand of previous posts I can use the cdt.bin from the .902 update. My question is, where can I get this file?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] DGSafewright:
tuckmobile's guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1455888 shows how to achieve root after having the 902 update.

1. Restore back to stock 893.

This can be done by the following methods:

1. Toggle back to stock system using Safestrap

2. Restore a Nandroid backup if you used Bionic Bootstrap

3. Use the FXZ file to restore back to stock 893

5. Use pathsaver

2. Root

If you are at stock 893 there are multiple methods to do this.

3. ForeverRoot

This can be done by chaning a few permissions to a few files either by RootExplorer or ADB

4. Apply 902 Update

You can apply it manually or OTA

Hi,

I downloaded ram manager after reading about it on forum...

I set it to balance mode...

But I think after that I lost my internet...

The symbol was seen on screen and when I opened any app related with net, I lost connection...

I was about to go for factory reset as I didn't know the cause...

But I thought about this and set it to normal (revert to normal)

And net started working...

Before this ,it happened to me previously and I had to go for factory reset that time...

So, I just want to know is this any app doing this problem or service provider problem?

( I have firewall and I disabled that, but it didn't worked)

Thanks in advance
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
Lately I've been having some problems with data:

Started yesterday, I noticed data would randomly and erratically become unresponsive. It would be fine for a little bit, then apps that use data or the browser just wouldn't budge. Going into airplane mode would sometimes fix the problem, but not always. I have tried flashing a different rom, changing radios, and I'm still having the problem.

One odd sign is that sometimes I'll go into speedtest, and I'll get absolutely no upload speed.

No idea what could be causing this... any ideas?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
Have you changed APN settings? I would give henrybravo's apn settings a go and see if that helps...it could be completely coincidental, but my data would bounce from H to 3G regularly but when I made those APN changes it stabilized to H. Worth a shot right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
It is certainly worth a shot. I'll try changing that and reporting back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
As for the changing of radios, and I don't mean to insult but just want to cover all grounds, when you changed them you flashed the matching RIL with it and gave it at least 8 hours to settle.
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
I flashed the RIL, yes. and it was in fact 8 hours after I flashed that I noticed the problems again, lol (I only briefly played with the new radio last night, and it seemed ok, but this was a very short test period, and the problem is, as I've said, pretty erratic).
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
After changing the APN and toying around a lot of the day, it seems I have a a fix! Thanks for the suggestion Baconstrips. Makes me wonder if something somehow was screwed up in my APN to begin with, whatever.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheBKBurger:
I remember when I first got my Inspire and AT&T screwed up the APNs and had only one that said MMS. I had to change all of them manually. That might have been it. Glad to hear you've solved your problem.

hi there,

i just bought a HTC HD7 Mozart and on past i was using Xperia X1 and always use to by File Explorer and it's so easy to find and keep data or file any place i want to keep or move and when connect cell on PC those time it comes like a removable drive on PC too.

So my asking is is there has any option to get back the file explorer on mobile and when connect my HD7 then it will come as a drive too on PC?

Hi, HD7 & Mozart are two different htc devices...btw...to have your htc wp7 acting like an external drive you will have to unlock it and install that on your pc...wpdm will install touchxperience on your device then you will be able to browse your phone's folders, dl/up files and many more...

Just got the KF two days ago and I got it rooted this morning. Now after sideloading some apps from the Android Market, the apps (image Icon) look kinda low quality compared to the ones that came preinstalled on the KF. What's the best way to make them look HQ? It's just a little pet peeve of mine. Thanks in advance for the help.

[Kindle Fire General] JoshuaLintag:
There is no way you can change the app quality.

You need to use another launcher like Go Launcher Ex. :)
[Kindle Fire General] tokyostomp:
there is a way it involves editing the apk or the data folder where the icons are stored. i'm currently trying to figure this out as well
[Kindle Fire General] SirVilhelm:
Seems to me anything installed from the Amazon market looks great, anything is low res.
[Kindle Fire General] NirmK96:
There is no way of upscaling the icons because all the kindle is doing in the carousel is blowing them up, i suppose you could edit the actual icon in system/app but theres not easy way of going around that
[Kindle Fire General] tokyostomp:
im pretty sure i have it figured out. it involves swapping out the icon in the apk with a higher rez one. i am trying to get this nailed down but my java is acting up and i can't resign apks to test out my stuff. i'm gonna reinstall java to see if i can get some signers to work
[Kindle Fire General] tokyostomp:
i think i may have figured it out. someone want to post an apk so i can tinker with it
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
So what are you going to do when the app updates with a new version?

Remodify it each time?
[Kindle Fire General] tokyostomp:
modify the apk again i suppose.

***********************************************************

if you want to replace icons yourself, heres how to do it

go to

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701

and download APK Manager

(You might also need to grab Java JDK)

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

once you have all that, unzip the apks you want to edit. find a icon that you feel is suitable. you will need to resize the icon to 192x192. (i've used 256x256 and it gets cut off)

now browse to the following directory:

res/drawable-mdpi/

this is where the fire looks to grab the icon for display, some programs don't have this folder as they were made for smaller displays.

if thats the case you will have to go to /drawable-hdpi/ instead

the icon for the apk should be somewhere in there (usually named icon.png)

once you got the icon replace all you have to do is zip up your project and sign it. then dropbox/usb/adb to your device

also i have had some problems overwriting already installed programs. what worked for me was uninstalling them then installed the edited apk

some programs are picky though, i tried changing the icon of rootexplorer and got constant fcs

Some apps are finicky. I tried changing root explorer and it kept fc'ing on me. Maybe I'll figure it out if I keep tinkering with it.

Guide to Replacing Low Res Icons for Amazon Carousel:

1. Download the Following Program (APK Manager):

Windows : (4.9)

http://www.multiupload.com/GXW01G6URJ

Linux : (4.3)

http://www.multiupload.com/7XEQYT3FUH

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701

2.Install Java JDK

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

3. Place the apks for the programs you want to change the icons for in

/apk_manager_4.9/place-apk-here-for-modding/

4. Run Script.bat

5. Type 22 and then chose the apk you would like to edit, once that is done then next use option 1 to extract the apk

6. Browse over to the project folder and look for your extracted apk

7. Now head into

res/drawable-mdpi/ and locate the icon.

*Note* Some APKs do not have this folder, the icon may also be located in

res/drawable/ or

res/drawable-hdpi

8. Go online and find a high resolution icon, then use photoshop or any image editor to cleanup and resize the icon to 192x192

9. Once you have the hi res version of the icon go ahead and replace the lower resolution one.

10. In APK Manager, choose option 3 (Zip apk),

then option 2 (Regular apk <Removes signature for re-signing>)

11. Once that competes it will take you back to the main menu of APK Manager, Now choose option 4 (Sign apk <Dont do this if its a system apk>)

12. If everything was successful you should now see two apks in your modding folder

13. Take the signed version of the apk and adb push it to your device, dropbox it, or copy to kindle using usb cable

14. Uninstall version if already installed and then install your modified version.

(Trying to install over a installed version results in a failure for me)

15. Icon should be nice and high res!
