My old Samsung Galaxy S on ICS (Onecosmic port) was much more responsive and smoothy than HTC (I've tested four ICS roms), but apps are running faster on HTC. Only drawer, switching screens or doing something at the level of rom user interface are slower.

Doesn't matter I'm using ICS with or without sense. I haven't try GB.
[HTC Sensation] BishopBlaize:
Yeah, im running android rev 6.2.1. Ive run the v6 supercharger script and a few other bits and pieces. I mean the sensation experience is great compared to when it first popped out of the box. But it had been ages since I picked up the Desire and I was really taken aback by how smooth it was.
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
Hello guys, im using cm7 kang build at the moment and i want to try the stock based roms like modaco rom. I understand that i have to convert to ext3 by flashing a zip file called backtoext3, but there are no proper instructions of how to do this, so please correct me if im wrong

1. boot into recovery

2. wipe data

3. wipe cache

4. wipe dalvik cache

5. wipe battery stats

6. flash backtoext3.zip file in clockwork

7. flash rom in clockwork
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
This should be correct...
[LG Optimus 2x] HerrKuk:
No need to wipe
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Getch78:
I have played around with a lot of ROMs on my Atrix, and I found myself going back to the MIUI ROM again and again. I have since replaced it with Joker's ICS ROM, which has been great for a ROM that has no working camera.

I had horrible battery life with the MIUI ROM and, based on what I could figure out, was due to the auto brightness feature not working. I am sure there are other contributing factors, but that seemed to be the big one. Does anyone know a way to correct/patch this?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] KAsp3rd:
As the title states...

Why? Because not all the ICS roms come with the AOSP keyboard.

This will not work with GB.

Flash with CWR or 4EXT

Zip includes the .apk and standard .lib

Haven't check any input language except English US.

I did not make or port this keyboard. I took it from an AOSP ROM built for the Sensation

Attachment will be up in about 10 minutes sorry, can't attach from my phone

Edit: As promised here it is
[HTC Sensation] KAsp3rd:
Updated OP
[HTC Sensation] tsanren89:
support multi languages?
[HTC Sensation] KAsp3rd:
Yes it is. I do not know if the auto correct works with other languages as I do not know any other language.
[HTC Sensation] Dic3ptor:
Thanks for you rpost in CoreDroid thread! Can i flash it withour loosing anything from the other keyboard?

Edit: Screenshot would be nice.
[HTC Sensation] KAsp3rd:
It doesn't touch the HTC keyboard a.k.a. Touch Input.
[HTC Sensation] Dic3ptor:
Okay i give it a try! Thanks you.
[HTC Sensation] KAsp3rd:
I'll get a screenshot up for ya. I didn't bother with it before as not many were interested
[HTC Sensation] Dic3ptor:
Cool thanks! Maybe we can skin this keyboard...hihi..:D
[HTC Sensation] KAsp3rd:
Would only let me upload small photos...

But here's the screenshots
[HTC Sensation] KAsp3rd:
I would love this keyboard with CD colors
[HTC Sensation] Dic3ptor:
I try to skin it. But a german lib would be cool i see there is only the US.
[HTC Sensation] KAsp3rd:
I'll see what I can pull. It'll be a little. I'm going to get the keys to my new place and I gotta finish moving
[HTC Sensation] Dic3ptor:
Take the time you need, i still wait. Happy moving. :D
[HTC Sensation] KAsp3rd:
It let's me choose German as input language
[HTC Sensation] Dic3ptor:
LOL, cool i try. :D
[HTC Sensation] KAsp3rd:
Hat es funktioniert?
[HTC Sensation] KAsp3rd:
Would it be possible to skin?
[HTC Sensation] BobQuentok:
Thank you for this mod :)

Works perfectly and it has german libs <3

Hi there

I thought I was an old hand at flashing, but it struck my while I was recovering my Galaxy wifi 5.0 from an unintended brick that I need to up my knowledge on Android flashing (odin)

I understand how to flash the ROM and kernel, my question is a little bit more basic

Here are the instructions to the ROM I am after

Q1 - How does one do a full wipe? I thought this meant doing a factory reset - obviously not?

Q2 - When I flash a new PDA file does it wipe and then flash, or does it merely leave what is there currently and then overwrite with the new added components?

Q3 - If I tick "flash bootloader" in Odin - Does this mean I need a file in the bootloader selection box, or does it know there might be bootloaders in the tar file?

Many thanks for your help

dingoo12

Many thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
Q1 - Boot into CWM and do wipe/factory reset. This formats data/dbdata/cache.

Q2 - Odin flashes come in a few varieties. It depends on what is contained in the odin flash. For example, my rom only contains a kernel and the factoryfs.rfs (/system) so flashing it only overwrites these partitions none of the others are touched. Soon my roms are only going to contain factoryfs.rfs because I'm dropping the kernel. I'm going to direct users to the appropriate kernel and also test to see if my rom works on the stock kernel.

Q3. I have never had a reason to use the bootloader field. With ROM's that contain a bootloader, I have always just used the PDA box. I would not check this field unless directions specifically say to do so...

Hope that answers your questions and that other people put there input on this as well. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dingoo12:
Thanks for taking the time to answer me Meticulus - Appreciated! Ill have to have a peep at your rom!

If you have a problem with wifi on your iPad rub the back with a bounce dryer sheet, that should solve the static IP problem, lol.

On a somewhat related note, I spent 30 minutes in best buy trying to do a price match for a TV I bought the previous week. I couldn't get the girl to understand what was going on so she got a manager after 5 minutes. After the manager comes over I can't get him to comprehend what's going on either. Their system price is the same as the instore prices but he keeps saying it is "online" showing "online prices" yet the price is cheaper through my laptop and phone. Finally he says "when in doubt use a Mac," right then I knew why he had no common sense. After he gets his Mac it still took forever because I had to show him how to navigate the web (he was having trouble clicking links to get to the product page and cart, and also he couldn't figure out how to get to the previous page so I showed him that fancy back button) the product said see cart for price and he keep hitting add to cart with the same result, a pop up box that had a highlighted "go to cart" link right under the "add to cart" button he keep hitting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PolishPoet:
I agree completely. Android is not for everyone and neither is iOS. Personally I don't like Apple because you re really locked into what Steve liked rather than what you like as far as look and feel. I'm not going to put anyone down for their choice and don't expect anyone to put me down for what I like. It's all about choice, and those differences in everything make life interesting.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vesati:
I've rooted and re-flashed three original Nook Colors so far, one being my own, all with CM7.1 and all with no problems. A friend of mine brought me his and asked if I could root and flash his too, but he bought one of the newer Nook Color 2.

As far as I can tell, the stock firmware is different, and the internal hardware is a bit different. I've been searching this forum and elsewhere for two weeks now, and can't find a definite answer. CAN I root and re-flash his newer Nook Color, or is it not possible yet?

If it is possible, can someone point me at a guide please?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
Just to be clear: You mean a newer a NOOKcolor with the new screen hardware, and NOT a NOOKtablet, right? There's a big difference.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vesati:
My apologies for being unclear, I was unaware there was a difference.

I'm referring to the Nook Tablet then, model BNTV250.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
Start reading through the NOOK Tablet threads. Totally different animal in terms of rooting and loading alternate firmware. Due to the locked bootloader on the NT, things are taking longer than usual, but progress is being made daily. There are bootable SD options, but they are still alpha.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vesati:
Thanks for the info. I've got plenty to look over it seems.

Sadly, from what I've read so far, my buddy is SOL for the time being.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
Well, you can still root it and get a lot more functionality over stock. Believe me, once he sees the paltry offerings available in the B&N App store, he'll be screaming for escape from the Walled Garden. Put a door in for him. He'll appreciate it.

I'm perverse enough to rather like the B&N 1.4.1 interface, so I'm running my NOOK color on B&N firmware (rooted, of course). Once I jump out to an alternate launcher, there's not a huge difference. There are performance tweaks I'd like to have from CyanogenMod, but the device is definitely improved.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Some NT owners might have to correct me but I glanced through the NT room and have seen that with version 1.4.1, side-loading feature was removed regardless of virgin or rooted. Reports that we must downgrade to version 1.4.0 to regain that capability.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dsf3g:
Ugh, so this sucked.

To start: my Flyer is 100% stock, unrooted Honeycomb. Also, the device is encrypted and a PIN is required for access to the device.

The reason for the above (apart from the fact that I see no real need to root my Flyer) is that I use my tablet to read e-mails from work. It is a requirement of the job, and the software we use (Mobile Iron) imposes these restrictions on the device (actually they are policies set by our Exchange Amins).

So what happened is that I recently bought a JS1 bluetooth game controller, and paired it to the Flyer with the help of the Bluez IME application. Everything was giong great and I was happy as a bug in a rug playing "defender" on Mame4Android when I switched off the tablet to go do something else.

When I tried to get back in to the tablet, I discovered to my chagrin that the onscreen keyboard would not pop up to allow me to enter my PIN. I could see the Bluex IME icon in the system tray, so I figured that my game controller (which was no longer paired) was still suppressing the onscreen keyboard. Not knowing what else to do, I re-started the tablet in hopes of disabling Bluez IME. What happened next was unexpected and very disconcerting: now the encryption screen came up, but it would not accept my encryption PIN. The device would just reboot and present me with the encryption screen again, ad infinitum.

So I had to wipe the tablet.

Anyone ever seen something like this, or have any idea what might have happened?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dsf3g:
UPDATE:

So today when I launched "Shadowgun" the Flyer completely froze. Nothing I could do but hold the power button and wait for the tablet to turn off. I'd been dreading this moment, fearing that the same experience I had before would recur.

And it did... sorta.

When I brought the tablet back up again I was presented with the encryption screen. I entered my encryption password twice and the tablet rejected it both times. I was resigned to having to wipe, but just let the tablet sit there instead. To my surprise it went through something similar to a reboot again, and then came up to the standard lock screen.

So this appears to be some odd behavior of the encryption layer on this thing.

I've spoken with users of other encrypted Android devices who tell me that they never see the encryption screen after rebooting their devices. The phone just comes up.

So I'm rather perplexed by this behavior. I really don't know what's going on. Maybe it's just a bug in HTC's implementation that the encryption page comes up at all after a reboot.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hatoncat:
Had my own woes with encryption on the Flyer.

I have/had the EVO View 4G, and whenever I turned on 4G with Encryption on, the device would reboot... as soon as I walked into a 4G coverage area.

It was really odd, as if I was not in a WiMAX coverage area, or Encryption was disabled, the device would work just fine.

Encryption on, 4G off = fine.

Encryption on, 4G on but no signal = fine.

Encryption on, 4G on in 4G coverage area = instant panic-and-reboot.

Ultimately, I had HTC swap out the unit. I got a new, sealed replacement... but I'm tempted to dump it on eBay and not retest it.

On the other hand, I kinda want it to work, since there aren't any other Sprint tablets of interest right now (ZTE has a 3G-only tablet which is worse spec-wise).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Jataadroid:
This is exactly the issue I had. If you have any apps that control your radios (wifi, mobile, or 4G) automatically, this causes it to reboot. I wiped my device, re-encrypted but found file permissions were out of whack. Settings weren't saving, files disappear, so on. So I no longer encrypt my device, only certain files. Big head ache figuring that out. 6 factory resets total and not rooted so no real backup...big headache.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Jataadroid:
This might have to do with fast boot. I noticed only a few times, but never when fast boot was disabled.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dsf3g:
What does Fastboot actually do?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Jataadroid:
Basically the same thing as putting you pc to sleep. Caches most of the current system to reduce boot up time. Some apps and devices don't respond well to this feature, causing FCs and reboots.

So if your system is encrypted and you want to ensure it stays secure, uncheck the fast boot option in power settings.

Its good to reboot you device every so often anyways.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hatoncat:
Unfortunately, disabling Fast Boot did not fix the problem with my EVO View 4G.

I spoke to HTC about this problem, and they said they were unable to recreate the issue at all. I'm surprised, considering I've reliably recreated this problem on multiple EVO View 4G units.

Whenever Honeycomb is installed, full device encryption is enabled, and WiMAX is powered up (with 4G coverage), the device crashes.

Take any of those factors away (even WiMAX radio on, but no WiMAX service available), and the device runs just fine.

I probably would have given up by now, except that I have a 1 GB tablet plan/contract with Sprint, and this is the only 4G tablet they have (still). The only tablet released since is a lower-grade 3G ZTE tablet, which isn't even as robust as the EVO View... and also hasn't been upgraded to ICS.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MDavisiw:
So I got a .mp4 movie last night and it was a 272mb file the movie was about an hour long. I got audio but no video so I tried the videora pocket encoder for the tilt2 and the thing blew the file up to a much larger size. What is the smallest format I can use on these files to get crisp playback.

just FYI I will be using this video with the video-out function. In coreplayer the video flickers awful, and when I switch from QTV the playback sucks on it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JKelley103:
is it possible to simply flash another rom from clockwork mod recovery. currently running cyanogenmod 7.1. hboot 2.16.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFschizoid:
You'll want to wipe at least /cache and dalvik-cache first before flashing. i would personally go through, wipe everything besides sd card manually then flash the other rom. if you do that, you're basically guaranteed there will be no problems. flashing to another rom without wiping can lead to conflicts within the system due to folders/system files being moved around with each different rom.

Would doing the mobile hotspots hack thru sqlite not allow the OTA to install? Because when the OTA is finished it just says fail to install. It doesn't give any reason as to why it failed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mickeyvnminnie:
No that is not the reason. Mine got updated fine. Did you remove any bloat(s)?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vampiricsoul:
No just froze with TI and before downloading I un froze all apps
[Motorola Droid RAZR] greeky510:
I just tried to update my maxx and it failed too. Downloads fine, reboots to install update, and a third oftheway it reboots saying that the update failed. I also have done the SQL hack and also unfrooze all frozen apps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] edstewbob:
I have the same problem. I got the message "The software update failed!" after doing the OTA today. I temp removed root with RootKeeper and did the Uninstall Recovery for Safestrap before downloading the OTA and then uninstalled Safestrap completely after the first failure. During the upgrade after the initial reboot the progress bar goes about 1/3 of the way, shows a triangle with an exclamation point inside of it, and then reboots and the error message appears with no other error details. I have a stock RAZR with the latest 6.11.748 installed with no deleted or frozen bloat. The only things I did were root and installed and ran Safestrap.

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

I backed out the sqllite hotspot hack just for jollies and same error so it definitely has nothing to do with that.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tech_head:
It's not rooting and freezing.

I did both of those and I didn't unfreeze or unroot before taking the update.

Safestrap is the issue.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stone_ship:
So I've been trying out a bunch of i9100 ROMs lately. Many of them have a halfdozen or more init.d scripts. I figure since I'm changing the kernel (Hellraiser) anyway, it is safe to delete these scripts. I'm leaving easy-to-decode ones like zipalign and sdcard tweaks in place.

Are there situations where it's NOT safe to remove these scripts? My understanding is that they are totally extra/optional.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
If there are any kernels or system firmwares where removing these scripts cause issues - you should probably be avoiding said kernel or firmware to begin with.

Usually, cruft in init.d is the cause of many problems, I've never heard of a clean init.d causing problems.
