You did a data wipe in android recovery! If so you need to reroot

Then install our bootstrap recovery,

You already have the files on your card so find them in file manager, boot into bsr, flash cm7, while still in bsr flash gapps. Data/cache/dalvi= wipe

Reboot will take you into cm7, install the patched bsr. Apk inside some file managet program.... Enjoy

from my X2 roaming the north
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I wasnt clear on if you got the CM7.zip file cleared up and got it to show up in recovery. That needs to be flashed first. The bootstrap.apk isnt installed in recovery. You install that after you get CM7 up and running. Just go to any file manager and click it. It should ask if you want to install it. The process should be, from stock android:

1. Root your phone

2. Install regular bootstrap (not CM7 bootstrap) EDIT: Actually I think this installs when you root. I dont remember, its been so long. lol. If not, find it and install it.

3. put zip files on your sd card

4. In Booststrap recovery, wipe data, clear cache and under "advanced", clear dalvik cache.

5. Flash CM7 zip FIRST, THEN google apps zip (Probably the tether patch here too, but I never did it so dont take my word on that.)

6. Reboot (CM7 SHOULD boot up)

7. Install the CM7 Bootstrap for future flashing.

You should be good after that.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Just to make things clear, the name of the CM7.zip is this:

update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-daytona-KANG-public-beta1.zip

So, when they say to install the CM7.zip file, that is the file you want to look for.

Here are the files you should have for CM7 and the order they need to be flashed in:

update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-daytona-KANG-public-beta1.zip (Again, this is the mentioned "CM7.zip" file)

gapps-cm7dx2-signed.zip (This is the Google Apps zip)

CM7DX2-beta-tether-patch-signed2.zip (This is the tether patch)

Once you are in CM7, that is when you want to install the MOTODX2_Bootstrap-CM7_signed.apk BSR.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I thought you were supposed to wipe data and cache and all that before flashing. Doesnt wiping it after flashing wipe the stuff you just flashed? Or does it not really matter? I always clear data/cache BEFORE flashing anything.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
You're right. Most of the time, you clear that out BEFORE you flash. I went ahead and removed that instruction so as to not confuse him.
[Motorola Droid X2] kalojado:
Yes. I updated it as well.

Thanks everyone, I passed out this morning with the computer sitting on my lap, and just woke up... so I am gonna try to go thru your answers. Appreciate all the help!
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
Your restore has root. Since you used root to install the recovery, your backup includes the necessary files. Sometimes instructions can be confusing or worded oddly. Once you get the hang of it, it will be easier. First thing you should do is enter our recovery and format data, cache, and dalvic (in the advanced section), then flash your cm7 zip. After, flash gapps and tether patch. I like to put my zips in their own folder so I can find them easily.
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
Wiping only removes user apps. You can flash cm7 then wipe all day and you will still have cm7 :) that's why sbf's are necessary.
[Motorola Droid X2] jcbwaters3:
Sounds like you used the patched bsr to try and flash cm7. That should be installed after cm7 is running on your phone. Should have used the unpatched bsr first.
[Motorola Droid X2] kalojado:
Yeah, I think I will be able to figure it out with all of your help. I have been busy and not had a chance to get to it yet... but I was wondering if I should start from scratch, un-root and re-root? I was not sure if that is necessary, but I am gonna try again this weekend and wasn't sure. I did want to ask, is it hard to un-root your phone?
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
SBFing will remove the root because it returns your phone back to stock. It's a complete wipe of ANY changes you've made to the phone.

If you want to ensure that you remove any traces of rooting, flashing, modifications, SBFing will do that.
[Kindle Fire General] Kranix:
I'd like to check out the stock email app from my HTC Thunderbolt on my KF. I tried installing the mail.apk from /system/apps on the HTC on the KF but I get Application Not Installed.

I tried to copy the .apk to /system/apps on my KF but it doesn't show up in app tray after a reboot. If I run the .apk from that folder, I get the same Application Not Installed message.

Has anyone done this or have any suggestions?

Thanks!

EDIT: It looks like it's looking for some HTC specific libraries based on a quick search through the manifest.xml.
[Kindle Fire General] daggy1985:
Sense would need to be ported in order to use the stock email app from the thunderbolt, can't use any of htc's apps without sense.
[HTC Rezound] y2jdmbfan:
Guys,

Here is a strange one. I started having problems with my Rezound and I am past the 30 day amazon return window to get a replacement from them, so I called Verizon about getting them to send me a replacement, after some resistance on their part I got them to ship me a like new replacement. They told me over the phone it would be a new unit since the phone is so new they don't have returns yet. Well, I got the phone and it was obviously not new, there were test stickers on the plastic wrap it came in, but looked just like a new one so I figured no biggie. I powered it on, updated the software and the went to add my work email. This is where the strangeness began. I clicked on the email link on the home screen and said it was checking for existing email accounts, which it always does, but this time it came back with a stranger's yahoo account that is not mine. I did a factory reset and wipe from the hboot and the same thing happens, it always pulls up someone else's email account. Do they tie email accounts to the phone's IMEI? I don't know how else to explain this. I am planning on calling them today and requesting a brand new device, I don't know if they will send me one, but I am not comfortable with it being tied to someone else's email account. Makes me wonder if my email accounts are showing up on the two units I had to send back to amazon.

Any input is appreciated,

Y2J
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Check /sdcard for the mail files, clear data on the mail app, and / or format the internal SD card. That should fix the problem.
[HTC Rezound] y2jdmbfan:
I don't have an SD card inserted yet. The clear data button is greyed out on the mail app, and I tried to format the internal storage and it still asks me if I want to restore the foreign yahoo account when I go to add my accounts...
[HTC Rezound] walloftvs:
What about running the proper RUU.exe to completely wipe & reset the phone?
[HTC Rezound] y2jdmbfan:
Didn't try that, they are sending me another replacement, but maybe I will try that in the mean time. Doesn't matter as long as they get this phone back in one piece.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Someone probably unlocked/rooted that phone and has data sitting in /system or something crazy like that. RUU is the beat all end all
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
What a bunch of BS that is. When my phone was only 2 weeks old, it started overheating badly & killing the battery in like 3 hours.

I called VZ & they told me the only option was to send me a refurb & this was before Christmas. I told them to blow me I'm not taking a refurb to replace a 2 week old phone, I want a new one or I will return this one for a refund.

They finally did give in and send me a new one but it was a struggle.
[HTC Rezound] dbutters:
Fyi, /sdcard is actually the internal storage. Also,You ought to call and give them hell for sending someones personal data out on a refurb. That isn't OK.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I think that's the only way to fix that problem.

When I gave my Wife my Droid Charge, that is what I had to do to clear out my gmail account.
[HTC Rezound] walloftvs:
Or send a nice note to the email address that keeps popping up on your phone and let them know what is going on. Maybe you two can split the restitution haha. :D

Man I'd be one angry beaver if that was my email address on the phone. Didn't this just happen with a bunch of tablets not too long ago?
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
Yes it happened with some xooms

I would give them hell for not giving me.a new phone and let them know that that aren't doing their job with wiping the phones
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
I guess this is a lesson for us all, before sending your phone in, install the latest RUU.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
So it was a happy ending. :D
[HTC Rezound] walloftvs:
*** Assuming your phone is still in a state where you can perform something like that. ;)
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
LOL, yes it was but it really annoyed me how I had to fight to get it.

My phone was like a week an a half old, & two different local VZ stores flat out refused to simply go in the back & grab me a new one to replace mine.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I can't find the mail files. I also tried to go into the settings to clear the cache and data as I had to do that for the gmail app but I don't have that option. Tried to add a different email can't connect to server. It's the yahoo mail accounts giving me trouble.

But actually, after reading this thread I think I'll RUU to get rid of it all since I'm switching off AT&T for internet and going with gmail from now on.
[HTC Rezound] y2jdmbfan:
Guys,

Finally found a different source to download the RUU, FileFactory is a joke...Anyways, I flashed the RUU 2.01 and guess what? On the main setup wizard what pops up again? The same Yahoo account that was popping up before! My guess is that Verizon is somehow tying IMEI numbers to email accounts or something to that effect...I'm not gonna lose sleep playing around with this one much since I will have another one tomorrow. If it happens again, I will demand a brand new phone for my troubles.

Y2J
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Interesting. When I was poking around in root explorer I found files that I would have thought would have gotten wiped when I first unlocked or later relocked and unlocked phone. I don't think it wipes like it claims.

Which sucks cuz I wanted to run the RUU to start fresh and not have leftover folders and files from apps I've decided I don't want on my phone any more.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
So you ran the RUU and it still left files behind??
[HTC Rezound] y2jdmbfan:
All I can say is that it still asked me if I wanted to restore someone's strange yahoo email account when I went through the setup wizard and then any time I went back to add a new email account. My suspicion is that somehow the yahoo email address is linked to the IMEI on the phone, or running the RUU, wiping the phone isn't erasing everything. But it never asks me about my email accounts that I added, so that is why I think it is probably the email address linked to the IMEI somehow.

Y2J
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
So you're thinking that because it's logging in, presumably with a password, it's tied to the IMEI in the cloud (through Verizon)? Or it's not wiping properly?

Edit: I wonder if it's something in Verizon backup assistant? Wouldn't surprise me.
[HTC Rezound] y2jdmbfan:
I doesn't actually log into the strange yahoo email address, but if I tap it, it will ask me for the password. I bet it has something to do with that stupid backup assistant, I skip it when I go through the setup wizard.

Did you buy the 2.0 version from Market?

If so, there should be multiple widgets larger than 4x3 that exist by default.

If not, well, you should think about it. It's probably programmed that way on purpose.:D

I am need someone who can really explain to me how to remove the stock camera shutter noise. I have the es file explorer and astro, there is nothing in my media folder. I am rooted but don't want to use a mod just to get rid of it. I have fast burst camera but just want to silence the stock camera. Please help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
good morning and welcome to xda, I see that you are a new member and will try and help you out. First off here is a link to what you requested. Secondly, may I suggest you try using all the search features available to you prior to posting. This will probably help you out a lot faster in the future. I used "silence camera epic touch" in a google search and the second choice was the link I attached. Also the search feature in xda although sometimes can be a PITA to use does come in handy at times.

I hope you accomplish your goal but if not I believe UnNameds rom which is quite a good rom I may add has the mod you are looking for... check the OP

Edit: Hopefully if you take my advice it may save you some unnecessary flaming in the future... Rule of thumb - You are not the first or the tenth person to inquire about what ever it is you want to post about.... Keep that in mind
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
I usually just open Root Explorer and go to system\media\audio\ui and remove camera sounds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gharlane00:
That only removes the shutter sounds. The focus sounds are inside the apk. Many custom Roms have a modded apk with sounds disabled. You could extract the camera from one and replace your stock camera app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
Doesn't help with the auto focus sounds. On;y with the shutter. The auto focus sounds are in the .apk so you have to use a modified version of the stock one in order to make it completely silent. See the link that was posted above you.

Most custom roms have the sounds removed anyway (well the AF anyway) so it normally not a concern. Here's a link to another silent camera. It also has edits in it for much better quality pictures (both front and back) and video. Either one will work if you're just trying to silence the sounds though.

Browser brightness is independent of the phone's brightness.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knutars:
You're absolutely right!

What a strange bug (it can't be a feature).

I have praised the Galaxy Nexus for its audio and the ICS, but raised hell over the greyish screen, compared to my previous Motorola Atrix (with a totally snow white screen).

Now we're getting somewhere; you should contact Samsung and ask them to look into this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudonto:
same on me when using checkrom and redpillkerndl. i think this is not bug and not only applied on browser but all of apps. this is an 'unussual shortcut' that help us adjust brightness quickly
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzari:
How can that be a shortcut if u need to drag it down? (PS. i dont mean that u drag it left and right)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
This is a feature. It's built into TouchWiz. You don't have to drag it down. You just have to put your finger on the status bar long enough for the pull-down bar to appear, then drag left or right to increase or decrease brightness. And post #2 is correct. Browser brightness is independent of the rest of the phone's brightness. So even if you have full brightness in regular display settings, you can have a different brightness setting just in the browser.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzari:
This is not what i mean you see that the brightness changes when you pull the statusbar down! Even when it is at full brigjtness
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
How long are you keeping your finger on the status bar when you are pulling it down? If you don't pull down immediately, it will adjust the brightness to the level of where your finger position is, left to right. In other words, if you push on the status bar and hold, and your finger is 1/3 of the way from left to right, it will adjust your brightness to 33%.

Sounds like you just need to swipe down faster.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzari:
No it changes brightness by how near the statusbar is to the bottom (only happens on the browser)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
O-kay... never heard of this. Maybe someone else has. Video?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzari:
Well i could take a video
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Actually, no. The brightness doesn't appear to change in that video.

( I had to fix your link to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Em_4LydDXgk to get it to work)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzari:
Try with the phone and not landscape (u wont see it if it is landscape)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Still can't really see it. But I did notice you appear to be on ICS. What ROM are you using? Or is it just an ICS theme?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzari:
Check 1st post
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Whoops, sorry! Hmm... I don't know what to tell you, man. I don't see this behavior at all.

Of course, I'm on stock XXKI3 with Siyah 2.6.4, so different than you.

Maybe check with other users of VK.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
Can't say I had noticed that happening in the browser. I did notice that on XILA2 you can press and hold on the status bar to change brightness, no need to move right to left.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
That's been there since XWKE7 for me. The brightness level is dependent on where your finger is on the bar. If you're exactly in the middle, it will set brightness to 50%. If you're closer to the right, it will be higher, to the left, lower. If you move your finger left or right, it will adjust appropriately.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
I thought that it had been a feature for a while, it just seems more sensitive.

[Galaxy S II General] Crucio_:
Afternoon all,

Last week i had to put in my phone for repair, fine cracks had appeared on the LED under the gorrila glass, thus making my screen blank and none responsive.

I wasnt holding my breath as i thought that it would come back with this answer, they came back saying this (this is though phones4u as that is who i purchased the phone with):

Unfortunately your phone appears to be Out of Warranty so we have raised the following estimate.

So i gave them a call to see how it could be out of warranty and they said even though it is inside the 12months as it is a cracked screen it isnt covered by the wrranty, this is classed as accidental damage.

Now this phone has never been dropped, it was got last april and is pretty much in perfect condition and have no idea how the cracks on the LED appered, after explaining all this i was told the same, it isnt covered as there is no way to prove it wasnt dropped or had extreme pressure put on it.

They gave me a quote of £71.99 to repair the phone and get it back to me, which i am paying. If i had cracked the screen by fault of my own i would think this a good price as i have seen replacement screens on ebay,ect for alot more.

I feel a little hard done by as i know nothing has happened to break my phone, i was just wondering how others feel. Do you think with the size and popularity of Samsung phones they should be offering something like apple loyalty replacement or something similar? or has anyone had better luck going though a different vendor?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Should have contacted Samsung directly instead of going through one of the rip off merchants.
