[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] redplate:
For example I want to prevent android activating mobile data by typing in my pin after fresh rom install, if you know what i mean. So ofc i should be still able to switch it on if needed.

I just want to set a few system settings before flashing. Like Accounts & Sync off and GPS Satellites off.

Xylograph told me he hasnt seen any option for it yet, but if there is any it might could be stored in /data/data or /data/misc

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] redplate:
i did a little research and found following:

for predefining Systemsettings:

/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases

there is a settings.db which changes in realtime if i change any systemsettings like bluetooth or wifi or gps. if you open it there are some sub entries. the systemsettings are in settings.db/secure and /system

i ll try to set up my rom now like i want, copy then the file and paste it in a romfile with the same dir location. lets see if this works after flashing. the settings.db file can also be edited.

for DroidWall integration:

also for DroidWall i will create folder for

/data/app/com.googlecode.droidwall.free-1.apk

/data/dalvik-cache/data@app@com.googlecode.droidwall.free-1.apk@classes.dex

/data/data/com.googlecode.droidwall.free/and all files/folders in it

/data/user/0/com.googlecode.droidwall.free/and all files/folders in it

the only problem i think i will have is the root persmission per superuser. i need a config file for superuser but i havent found any.

i hope the dalvik-cache file will help

system@app@Superuser.apk@classes.dex

EDIT:

Doesnt work. None of the two.

Android just ignores the settings.db after first start and therefore all predefined settings like GPS and so on.

I am thinking about to set the permission for settings.db readonlny, before flashing.

And DroidWall have no Rootpermission. And superuser doesnt ask me for root if i restart DroidWall.

I think to get DW working i need to predefine Superuser. But i dont know how.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rarefc3s:
I love my Inspire 4G and I run the RCMix3D Runny 4.0 ROM. It is fast, I like the fonts and the icons and love Sense 3.5. I also ran a UV script and another script I am forgetting. I have a few issues and the ones I have found are minor, however, just recently though I discovered I can not make outgoing calls with Google Voice. I am in the US on AT&T and its not even an option in the Voice setup to make all calls with Voice. I flashed another ROM to see if this was a ROM issue or some other phone setting issue. The other ROM I flashed (Android Revolution) I had the same issue. No option to make calls (other than international) via Google Voice. Short of flashing back to stock any one have an idea? I was thinking maybe there is a setting to do with location or carrier that is not right. I am using the RCMix kernel. It reports in the 'About Phone' to be a 'HTC Inspire 4G.' I have uninstalled Voice several times and reinstalled without any luck. A previous ROM flash showed the phone as Desire HD so I wonder if I am stuck with a phone that is reporting to be a non-US phone and no-us market Apps?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dingokevin:
Use groovy IP if you are trying to make data calls. If you just want people to see your GV number and use your plan minutes in settings you should see
[HTC Inspire 4G] rarefc3s:
That is what I am getting at. If I posted a screen shot I only have three choices and the first one is not make all calls with Google voice. I have a sip account where I can dial out with my home VoIP but I want voice to work so I can port my number.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
There should be no reason why you have only 3 of the 4 choices. Make sure you update google voice to the latest version. But your posts are confusing. In first post you say you can't make any voice calls. Your last post says you can at least set it on "ask". So which is it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
You could be more clear on how you have this sip account setup. If it is set to make all calls, that could be the reason you are missing that option with Voice. If your intent is to port your cell number to Voice for use with the sip account, that won't work. Voice requires you to have a cell plan.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rarefc3s:
I thought I said it only gives a choice toake international calls. I have three options, Use for international, do not use and ask me everytime I make INTERNATIONAL call. I have the newest version . Like I said its like I am getting a non-US apk from the market since free voice calling is US ONLY. I am in Kentucky. I think a version of ClearDroid reported my phone as a Desire HD. Maybe my market account is hosed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rarefc3s:
Does not matter because before I setup the sip Voice would not work. I have VoIP at home and they provide sip settings for softphone use.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rarefc3s:
Screen cap.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rarefc3s:
This looks better.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Does not make a difference on my phone but on your phone it might since you have a sip account set up. Homescreen > menu button > settings > call > Use internet calling and try changing your setting to something else.

If you think it might help here is the google voice from my phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rarefc3s:
Thanks. I think it is something deeper because I flashed a different Rom yesterday and same issue. Flashed Rom, booted, download voice run setup and same issue. Nothing else was configured. Tring yours!
[HTC Inspire 4G] rarefc3s:
No luck. I removed the sip account too. Uninstalled voice and rebooted then tried yours. Was hoping there was a system file I could dig into to check device type and or location. Maybe I am off base thinking its something like that. I could flash back stock I guess.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
In your settings for google voice, do you have the area code listed in "This phone's number"? Try "add this phone" again and see if that helps. On the same note I have heard that google voice cannot send voip calls from certain area codes. Have you been able in the past to use google voice with the area code on the phone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] rarefc3s:
Yes the area code comes up. I believe at one point when I first got the phone the missing option to make calls was there. I've done all sorts of setting changes on the phone and via a browser on the voice side and nothing works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
I'm doubtful that it is rom related. Cleardroid is and has always been based off of the stock Inspire roms. Also, I am using a non US based rom that has been modded for the Inspire and Voice has all the options and works as it should for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rarefc3s:
I agree as changing ROM had no effect. I am on RcMix3D Runny. I think I will flash stock and see what happens from there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rarefc3s:
So I am in fact an idiot. I had a Google voice mail access number not an actual Google Voice phone number. smh
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
That took guts to come back and admit that. :D Sometimes the solution is right under our noses. I take it all is well now?
[HTC Inspire 4G] rarefc3s:
Works great now.

[Captivate General] rolltide1995:
Is $50 a good price for a captivate with no scratches? A guy I know is selling it. Is that to much to pay?
[Captivate General] Red_81:
Yes that would seem like a good price. You would want to check that the IMEI matches the IMEI on the sticker. Type *#06# to get the phone to display the IMEI. Hell, I'd pay $50 to have a good back up phone in case I screw mine up.
[Captivate General] studacris:
yeah...im out a phone right now cause my power button crapped out, waiting on it to be fixed...

anyway, no special dialer code needed just go to settings>about phone>status and it will have the imei right there.
[Captivate General] Red_81:
LOL, it's funny how you forget the simple things some time
[Captivate General] Wdustin1:
Absolutely I would pay 50 right now for a backup cappy
[Captivate General] Nick D:
If you want to give me that guy's number I'll call and verify it for you ;).

For $50 it'd be worth buying temporarily and selling on Craigslist later for about $125 or so. Wish I could find a decent backup Cap for $50.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] seanchronnery:
While watching youtube or playing video via SD card from my Nook Tablet (rooted indirect method, 1.4.0) I get a very annoying static/popping noise before the audio plays at the start of a video or when resuming from a pause. This is only present when headphones are attached. Almost like the device mutes the headphones while no sound is present then clicks/pops/buzzes for a split second when audio is detected before playing. This is happening with three different pairs of headphones and multiple browsers/players. The noise is in relation to the volume set on the device... If I turn the device up to max the static is louder then if the volume is set at half. I see this problem while the device is charging and also when it is not.

Is this problem common and people are dealing with it or am I alone? I did a forum search but didn't see any posts relating to my question.

thanks for any comments.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kbrownlees:
I have the same issue, and it is rather annoying. I am hoping it is a software issue with the rom, where the ramp between dc and audio is not being handled correctly. It would suck if we had broken hardware :(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] seanchronnery:
Did you happen to try headphones before rooting?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] quid246:
Maybe related to my "clicking" I get when my NT is sleeping with WiFi on... hopefully a software bug and not shoddy design/materials.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kbrownlees:
Nope, seems unlikely that would screw with it though.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] moukazwina:
I think it's a software issue. We all have noticed it at some poont.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] blitz1416:
thin wired headphones

I've noticed this before with thin wired headphones, especially when around a computer. Thick wired headphones with more insulation / protection are a bit less likely to have this problem.

... just a thought... might not work in this case.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] claudiaa:
Nook Color was just like that. cm7 make it perfect.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raye1010:
Yup! It happened for a long time. I realized that it cause by the sleep mode of sound chip but it is a software bug... -_-

Last time I use it for the song picker for the annual dinner event and it keeps pop pop pop before start playing. I solve the problem by minimizing the volume but not stop playing.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Eastern_Digital:
Finally someone makes a thread about it! I noticed it very early on when I bought my Nook Tablet in last December. It bugged me a lot. I couldn't find much about this problem; all I could find was a similar problem reported with Nook Color. The description of the problem looked so similar that I assumed Nook Tablet has inherited it... I hadn't registered on XDA forums then and decided to live with my assumption.

It has nothing to do with root. I discovered it after rooting it, reverted back in hopes of curing it, it stayed. It persisted when it auto-updated to 14.1. I was hoping this was one of the bugs B&N fixed with the update, but apparently their only motive for the update was to block users from side-loading apps.

This annoying audio issue manifests in at least two different ways. With some headphones, NT emits bursts of hisses before starting the playback. With others, there's no hiss but there's a pop. The hiss is more bothersome than the pop. I have tried with a few different headphones, and only on one I hear the hiss. On the rest, I hear the pop. I don't know why it behaves differently with different headphones. Maybe it's something to do with impedance.

My take is that NT turns off the audio at the hardware level whenever it doesn't detect any audio playback. It comes back on with a prelude of a pop or hiss. The idle period needed shut off audio is very little (maybe 1 second or so). Maybe it was done to conserve battery. This makes playing any musical instrument app very frustrating. Once you pause before playing another note, you automatically get a prelude of a pop or a hiss.

Speaking of musical instrument apps, another thing that makes NT quite unsuitable for enjoying those is a lag/latency between hitting the touchscreen and hearing a sound.

Is there any other way to fix it as we wait for a stable version of Cyanogen ROM? I'm not sure. I have seen some lines dealing with audio on build.prop. I don't know editing which parameter to what value would help things, so I didn't mess with them. Maybe someone more knowledgeable would like to try? I will try myself if I can learn more about it.

Hello!

I'd like to flash this rom- cm-7.2.0-RC1-Defy-KANG

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1470721

First I had 2.1

then I flashed 2.2 froyo with rsd lite

then I flashed Cm7 2.3.5 RC1.5 by custom recovery in my defy

now I want to flash this rom - cm-7.2.0-RC1

How do I do that? :confused:

thanks you
[Defy General] labsin:
Wait for the led on startup, then press volume down. Go to recovery> custom>flash zip>navigate to the zip you placed on the sdcard

After that wipe cache and dalvic(in advanced menu)

To be sure, make a nand backup first. I'd you can't boot, you can easily restore it. (you might have to reboot twice before concluding that you have to restore the nand)

[Defy General] lolzas:
Thanks ill try that!

btw, USB debugging should be on or off during flashing the new rom?

and If i'd like to flash cm9, its the same process just like you described, right?

thanks again! =]
[Defy General] labsin:
No, for CM9 you will also have to wipe data. This deletes all your settings and apps. You can back these up with titanium backup. Notice that CM9 has no camera preview and small bugs.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redplate:
Hi, i want to know if it is possible to pre-define settings like mobile data (off) or account sync (off) or any other before flashing? Is there a file which i could edit?

Oor if this isn't possible, whats about to integrate DroidWall into system? Status should be enabled(requires root permission). Rules aren't important since DW blocks every activity from the start.

The thing is, every time i flash a ROM and type in my PIN, android activates mobile data automaticly and sends some bytes. I simply want to stop android from doing this.

Actually i am using the latest ICS build.

I appreciate any suggestions.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkcheater:
Can anybody confirm that 1080p MKV playback (I tried all players) over HDMI just gives a weird image, like if it was an old VHS with very bad quality? Software decoding (if selected in MX Player) works over HDMI but its too slow to play the movie smoothly...

720p movies work flawlessly. On the device itself, 1080p plays like a charm..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nerdninja:
Not sure if this helps you, but I was able to get a 1080p h.264 file to play back smoothly over HDMI. I even pulled up the status on the monitor I was using to confirm it.

It was a pretty high-bitrate file, too. It worked in MX player and Dice Player.

[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
not trying to scare anyone, just a PSA

we know the droid 3 exploit works (its how about 97% of you rooted). however the electrify has a 2.3.5 update that blocks it.. which means that photon owners will prolly be rootless come next update. :O

the man who has brought out a good number of root exploits, Dan Rosenberg has a new trick up his sleeve. seems hes already got the next wave of motos rooted including the droid 4 that released today. thing is there is gunna be a lot of people using it (i know its what ill be changing the one click to so that we can root the electrify. and think about how many other moto devices that will be freed. with that in mind djrbliss is looking to get himself a droid 4 (ew who uses verizon? :P ).

anyways long story short, i included a we pay link he gets 200 he'll make it public and then any extra goes to the american red cross. so if you have root now, or in the future its prolly cuz of this guy. if your an electrify owner and want a nice easy one click? then shoot this guy a few bucks :D

[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
Incorrect. When it reaches $500 he'll release it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
I'll be glad to kick in $20 whenever the time comes that I need to root for ICS or have to re-root because I couldn't ignore 2.3.5 (I'll ignore 2.3.5 if I can).

What if CM team ask for money before releasing or joker.....think about that for a min. Smh.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
i could see where that is fitting i suppose. i knew most of the people who would be interested would be people who are locked out of root (droid 4) and possibly electrify owners that want a one click. just figured id let people know since he has done a whole lot for the rooting community.. :/
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/11/rooting-the-droid-4-a-failed-bounty-experiment/

[Motorola Photon 4G] Beach_Head:
Wow! I guess if you aren't cooking ROMs, you can forget ever getting a donation...
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
How is $575 (and he has stopped accepting) a failure?

With all respect to the dev, I think the mistake he made was the "I'll release it when y'all pay $500". THAT (his message) was the failure in the "experiment". The $200 for a phone was not the issue.

'nuff said - I am NOT trying to inflame anything here. I believe the dev has done awesome free work for us, but could have avoided all of this with slightly different words.

People are still people and the psychology of messages still counts!

Please take all the above ramblings in a respectful, positive and helpful tone! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
No offense but if he did it, he has the right to wait for 500. 99% of us work for free. Ad clicks and donations are nice but not expected. That doesn't mean we don't have to work for free it just means we do.

So if you want to donate, its your money.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
I totally agree - he had every right to set a number and not release until that number was reached. He has no obligation to unlock phones for free.

But we'll never know in this case since he changed the rules mid-experiment, which means the experiment neither failed nor succeeded. When I saw the way he originally announced it, I thought "this won't end well" (see below for more).

The point I was trying to make was that, from a human psych POV, that a bounty (really a ransom here) is not an effective motivator for a bunch of opinionated, strong-willed contributors like us.

Case in point - a few years ago at ppcGeeks, $300 bounty, "release when paid" for a Win Mo phone (TP2 I think), people got ruffled, rules got changed, dev collected $1,000 in 2 days.

It's all about psychology and messaging, for although we are are bit different from a lot of people, we are still normal people. A carrot remains a better motivator than a stick.

In my opinion, the dev should have said "hard work", "please contribute", "first 200 to me for a phone which is a tool that will benefit you", "next 100 / 200 for my family", "rest to charity" (if that's really what he wants to; keep it all if he wants). Just my opinion of course - and I respect that the dev may or may not care in the slightest about all my words (assume he doesn't).

Sorry for the number of words - although an engineer, I took a lot of psych in college. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
Dude shoulda bought a phone. Sheesh. Its donations, he can do what he wants with it.

I would venture to guess you would need a rooted Transformer with Titanium Backup installed to rip the APK off of it. That still wouldn't assure it would work on anything else.

Alternatively, you could write Asus and ask them to make the app public...but I'm guessing they would send you a form letter that says something like "Thank you for your interest in Asus products. At this time it is only available on <insert list of devices>."
