[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
Hmm...gotcha. Just wondering (as I didn't mess w/ fastboot until the Atrix- all Captivate radios were just flashed in recovery), what problems could arise from non-fastboot flashes? And how likely is this? Thanks for the info btw.

Update:

Well so I quickly checked the Radio thread, specifically the newest one (from a Korean update?).

Read and read and read and read before doing anything...then went and checked my phone only to find out the baseband version in my setting>about phone matches that of the newest one: 5.12.00.08. Don't know what difference it makes, but I have a "U" halfway through instead of an "H." So, two possibilities: Either my phone shipped with it (Odd as it's a Korea update?), or it was included in the ROM. Either way, I haven't noticed any issues, and I figure I'll leave it be.

Thanks again for the info though fellas.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidity3000:
I know your questions probably have been answered but I'll give it a shot:

1 - Blackrose will repartition the N1's partitions regarding cache, data, and such. If you want MIUI or pretty much any Gingerbread ROM you most likely 99.9% don't need Blackrose or a custom partition layout. Only certain ICS ROMs require Blackrose. The custom HBOOT you are referring to is Blackrose and the custom partition sizes. There are no limits if you are on Blackrose, and you can always get rid of it just as easy as installing it. Getting rid of Blackrose HBOOT will also refer you back to the stock partition layouts, if you made any changes while on Blackrose.

2 - There are a rather great deal of kernels for the N1 out there. I can think of at least 5 main ones, such as Wilmonds, IR's, and many more. Most will work with any ROM, such as CM or MIUI. But as always, backup before you flash. As for need, you don't really need to flash a custom kernel yet it can help. Some kernels boast improving animations and performance while others try to boast battery saving. Just check out the comments of each kernel's thread for a true evaluation.

3 - As for radios, flashing is not really that important. Most N1's are on 5.08 version which is the latest release for the US; all be it that is is a year or so old. There is a newer 5.12 radio released in Korea but there is no need to flash/install it. Some say connection is better but there is no difference if you are in the US. No ROM requires a certain radio.

4 - I had my N1 for almost 2 years with absolutely no issue with any buttons. I do hear that some have issues with the power button however. I guess it depends how well you take care of your device. I have dropped my phone very rarely and I take pretty good care of it. No complaints here.

Hope this helped you. And welcome to the N1 community! Any other questions feel free to ask!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
Awesome info bro! Your explanation of Blackrose was especially concise, simple, and informative. Thanks for the kernel advice too! I appreciate it man!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
Hey fellas, I hate to double post in the interest of bumping, but there are still a couple questions I'm still wondering about, and I'd rather bumprez than make another/2/3 different threads about each question.

The info you've given me so far has been AWESOME, and I'd appreciate any more input you might have.

Thanks in advance fellas.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
What are the remaining questions?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevefr:
Can't go wrong with Nexus One. Any weakness in memory can be dealt with through blackrose and a2sd. Hardware issues are minimal and even potential power switch problem is easily repaired.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
So sorry- let me lay them out:

(And my bad for getting back to this so late- been really quite swamped with life!)

Also, I'm wondering about the AMOLED vs SLCD differences- something I don't think I've asked about yet.

Basically, regarding any and all facets of a screen- what are the differences between the AMOLED and the SLCD hardware?

And to reiterate- I'm talking about any kind of difference regarding anything, whether it's vibrancy, clarity, powerdraw, touch-sensitivity/accuracy...anything at all.

Lastly, regarding Blackrose:

So, Androidity3000 gave me a great cliff's notes on Blackrose, but I want to make sure- If I flash Blackrose (which is a custom HBOOT that reconfigures the partition sizes so as to avoid space-constraint issues?) can I just keep that all the time? Can certain ROMs NOT be flashed if I'm running Blackrose? Also, does Blackrose automatically decide the sizes of the new partitions, or do I have to configure the sizes myself? If so, are different configurations better, and why?

Thanks for all the good info and patience so far, breauxs. I appreciate it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Trackball has some free movement, what you describe seems normal.

I've expressed my opinion on all kinds of "magical" scripts at some other point in time. Look at the free memory you have (which is probably >100MB at any given point in time), and think - do you need anything?

SLCD and AMOLED look a bit different. If you search the forum and Google, I bet you find enough examples and explanations. The question seems way too lazy.

Read the Blackrose thread to understand more, what it is and what it does. Also too lazy of a question.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeffrey.Dahmer:
I just picked up a N1 off ebay. It is in almost new condition got it for $155.00. I moving over from a mytouch 3g fender so the n1 is much better, i love it. This post helped me out alot. I've always wanted the n1 I've had my mytouch since it came out
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
Glad to hear it bro! I like thinking that there have gotta be others with the same questions/concerns as me, and I'm glad this thread was of some use!

...AND that, as it hopefully filled you in sufficiently, you didn't feel the need to make another thread!

Enjoy the phone man!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diegodbm:
Hi, anyone knows haw many GNexs have been sold worldwide??

I'm just curious...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fregor:
You really believe someone here has that number?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Some people extrapolated a very rough number based on the ICS market share % of all Android numbers a while back (when the Galaxy Nexus was the only ICS device).

You could dig that up, but there are no solid numbers for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diegodbm:
OK, is just a question... because stadistics of Iphone and SGII sales are everywhere...

Thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Most of the time when sales numbers are released for a specific device it's because they sold a boat load of them and are bragging.

My guess is that the sold Galaxy Nexus is number is nowhere near the SGSII and 4s.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
They won't release figures for the Galaxy Nexus because it would be embarrassing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
the reason why they probably haven't sold a boatload is because of the price, it's truly ridiculous if they undercut the price of the S2 they would have sold much much better
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yes, sell a brand new phone for less than an old phone...

And the only reason why it was so expensive in the US is because the GSM model had to be imported, which increases the price quite noticeably. In the rest of the world it wasn't any more expensive than other high end phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Yeh mine was free on contract :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
Lul wut? It was exactly the same price on Verizon and will be on all the other carriers when it is subsidized. The reason it didn't sell a ton is because it wasn't ever meant to. Google doesn't put out the Nexus line to be a sales leader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
Google is still slowly trickling out Ice Cream Sandwich updates for the Nexus S, and the Galaxy Nexus has a number of different versions floating around, but the latest news is that Android 4.0.5 should be available for both devices by March.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:

The s2 had another ics leak the other day. Why wont the skyrocket get a leaked version to give our devs and cyanogenmod a head start!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
because there are lots of devs who work on international sgs2 and Lots of ppl who has international sgs2 work for sammy. We don't have any one inside sammy.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] R4INS:
Can't we con one of them into leaking the skyrocket update somehow lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LordGeek:
People that are on AT&T should already know that regardless of ICS coming out in March 2012 for the Galaxy S II models, not specifically stating Skyrocket or LTE .. with AT&T's track record for getting out to THERE updates for there phones with them tearing down the OS before pushing .. we will be lucky to see it before March 2013 !!!! Hell .. look at the Samsung Infuse 4G .. released in July 2011 with Froyo 2.2.1 .. just received Gingerbread 2.3.5 in February 2012 !!!!

And you think we're going to get ICS in March 2012 !!! NOT
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
Ya if we find the person who leaked those otas. Than we will have to convince him. :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Frogacuda:
They confirmed the SII and the Note would get it in Q1, and we'd get it after the SII and Note. They did not say we'd have it in Q1.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chib1panda:
Any news is either related to international or the other gs2. No news yet for skyrocket or hercules. That is where the confusion is coming from.

Nope, we're the Galaxy S II LTE. Which is mentioned in the press release as a phone that is getting it AFTER the Note and the S2.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgf183:
I've been using the Atrix 4G since the Fall of last year. I've rooted it, but haven't really had the want/need to start messing around with 3rd party ROMs. My previous phone was a Samsung Captivate which had a very expansive Dev community and a lot of great ROMs available- which was nice because Samsung kept it on Eclair for way too long. But there was a handy tool available that would reset everything and flash the stock firmware back to exactly the way it came out of the box. Does any such utility exist for Atrix? Especially with the work being done on CM9, I'm considering trying to flash a few of the other 2.3 ROMs out there, but would like to be able to come back to stock 4.5.91. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Milestone XT720 General] lupinkor:
Hello everyone,

I changed recently my phone from a Motoroi XT720 to a Galaxy Nexus. I am very happy with the purchase, however, since I live in Korea, there is an application I would like to get that came with the XT720 firmware.

Would you please tell me how to extract system apps ?

I tried with Astro App Manager but it doesn't show the applications I want as "installed apps". The applications I want are Dictionary (Korean-English) and Subway Map. While the latter can relatively easily be downloaded from the market, I am having trouble finding a good KR/ENG dictionary with the same ease of use of the one offered with the XT720.

For some reason, I can see it nowhere ! Not in the installed apps list in the settings, nor anywhere else..

Any ideas people ?

Thank you.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
it will not be compatible with ICS 4.0 in Galaxy Nexus even if you can get it out

using Titanium Backup you can extract it
[Milestone XT720 General] lupinkor:
Oh well...that sucks ^^

Thank you for your answer anyway !
[Milestone XT720 General] pakpaker:
Assuming you have a rooted XT720, you can use Astro or ES File Explorer to extract said app (in .apk format)

Those are located in /system/app.

As for compatibility issues, AllGamer might be correct in saying that it might not be compatible, but it's worth a try. :D

recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.img

S-ON / fake-flash

recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.zip

Haven't tested it, try it at your own risk but should be safe :)

S-OFF: flash with fastboot with

[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
So...what's new in this version?

(Also, is there a way to change the color of text in the recoveries, I want the orange color back :( )
[Wildfire Android Development] Kwen:
Assuming you have S-OFF, install the Android SDK and just boot into the bootloader, then select fastboot and use the command in the first post...

With S-ON, you can only use the fake flash by renaming the .zip to update.zip and "flash" it from the stock recovery to launch CWM...

No idea
[Wildfire Android Development] Qarl:
Yes, I've S-OFF.

Turn ON my device on Fastboot, it's connected to computer obviously!

If I run:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.img

The console says that "fastboot" isn't a valid command.

If I am in Android SDK directory and run:

./adb devices

The console don't found any device.

Where is the problem?? Is this usable on Ubuntu? I'm use it.

[Wildfire Android Development] Kwen:
See http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html

"If you're developing on Ubuntu Linux, you need to add a udev rules file that contains a USB configuration for each type of device you want to use for development.

If you're on Windows, have you that in the recovery installation folder?:

AdbWinApi.dll, adb.exe, fastboot.exe and recovery-X.img
[Wildfire Android Development] Kwen:
Good call, copy paste error :)

Also if you don't have the fastboot command, you'll need to download the "Android SDK Platform Tools" (under "Tools") from the SDK manager (how did you get adb working though without the platform tools?!)

Should be under the same directory...
[Wildfire Android Development] Slymobi:
Just rename the zip to pc49img.zip making sure you DONT name it pc49img.zip.zip place it on the root of your sdcard (ie.not in any folders) boot your phone into hboot via volume down and power whilst phone is off and when prompted press volume up to update then reboot into recovery to see your new cwm. SIMPLES.

"sent from me2u"
[Wildfire Android Development] Qarl:
First, I go to "android-sdk/platform-tools" with the terminal.

Then, run this command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.img

And the terminal return this:

< waiting for device >

What's happen? If I run "adb devices", my HTC Wildfire is founded.

Regards!
[Wildfire Android Development] Kwen:
Did you highlight fastboot in the bootloader/hboot and pressed power to select it?

It should say fastboot usb plug or something like that
[Wildfire Android Development] Qarl:
Problem solved!!! :)

I believed that the device reboots to fastboot when the command executed it.

Sorry ¬¬

Thank you very much!
[Wildfire Android Development] Kwen:
I think you'll need a flashable zip, the one koush provides is just a img and a fake flash .zip

How do I do this if the OS itself is crashed and I get a white screen and HTC logo???:(
[Wildfire Android Development] Justice™:
Power into hboot mode. (Power button and volume down or up) Then it'll ask you if you want to install/flash the zip.
[Wildfire Android Development] bond_:
Some background:

It's friends phone. OS crashed not able to boot to it can't enable USB debugging.

This is what I did:

1. Install HTCdev unlocked bootloader (while on fastboot usb)

2. Flashed the recovery.img file given in this thread (while on fastboot usb)

3. Rebooted to recovery using the hboot

4. Just the white screen and HTC logo

5. Used the zip method. Placed it in root of sdcard with name pc49img.zip

6. Got some messages on HBOOT menu and then HBOOT menu appeared normally

7. Booted to recovery from this hboot menu

8. Just the white screen and HTC logo
[Wildfire Android Development] bond_:
Nevermind.

1. The OS/recovery was booting

2. touch is working

3. HBOOT display is visible

4. Able to attend calls

but as per the UI I was only able to see white screen and HTC logo(No UI on recovery/OS just this logo). I guessing some wiring messed up. Took me three days to come to that conclusion. Now I can have some peace of mind ;)
[Kindle Fire General] ColMustard:
I flashed this ROM this weekend and I'm loving the responsiveness of the kindle Fire now.

There is one problem I'm having with the device freezing when the charger or USB in plugged in and the screen is shut off. If I try to wake the device the back light comes on but that's it. I eventually have to reboot the device to get it working again. I've check the dev forum on this and have not seen any post related to this issue. I've also followed the instructions to a T, "Factory Reset", wipe "cache", "dalvik cache", and "system".

Has anyone else experienced this?
