[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elbarto132:
here in thailand people can request a callback via sms for free

so if somebody doesn't have money on his phone he can type for example *222*0123456789 and the number will get an sms containing something like: hey, number 111111 wants that you call him back. depending on which provider the person uses this sms differs of course

i would like to have an app which checks new sms for a keyword and if a new message matches then it should open a popup which asks if i want to call this number, and play a ringtone to make sure i hear it.

does such an app exist?

[General Questions and Answers] Zoltanar:
Hi.

I'm about to root my DHD using the hack kit - Thanks a LOT for this kit!

All seems fine, except one small question - I belive it is not exactly covered by the EFFEN Manual, nor could I find my answer in the forums.

For newer Sense versions (I had 2.3.5 through an update about 2 weeks ago), it first needs to downgrade - understood.

Later in the manual, it says "Your ROM has not been downgraded, and is still fully functional(...)" I understand it needs to downgrade to root the device - I am not questioning this. What I am wondering is if I will be able to put back the upgraded ROM from TELUS?

Your help is appreciated!

I would like to use boot manager so I can run cm7 and cm9. I would prefer this over the sd dual boot method.

Anyone know how to get boot manager running on the nc?

My Friends DHD Has felt in the ice and the screen keep on turning on by itself every few secondes, is there any solution for that? he is on stock htc and non rooted if he root should it solve his problem? and install a custom rom?

[HTC Sensation] GoodbyeSky:
Does anybody know if HTC has acknowledged the problem with poor sound quality when recording video on the Sensation? As in -- it's super loud and distorted even when recording in a relatively quiet environment? This has been the single most disappointing thing about this phone for me.

I have seen a couple of threads started about this but there is not much info out there that I've been able to dig up.

Does anybody have more information about the problem or know of anything that can be done to alleviate it? Even if there's a different video recording app someone can recommend, I'd be happy. (From what I've read it sounds like a software issue -- something with the default codec or volume level being borked. Hopefully it doesn't actually have anything to do with the mic itself.)

This will probably be a stupid question, but I could not find a decent enough answer using google.

What is the best way to do a full wipe of your phone which has google authenticator on it? Do you switch of double verification for every emailaccount and do the wipe and reinstall, and link your gmail accounts, or is there an easier way to do this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
I always log in to my Google account and then wipe. This way you can just create a new application specific password. I don't know how to restore/setup the authentication app without root but with root I use TitaniumBackup.

Without root just make sure you have your backup codes ready incase you can't restore the account and need to set it up again.

Overclock question

Is this kenrnel overclockable? I took installed rebelrom, then flashed your kernel over it. everything works, but when I use setcpu or any other program like that it still shows 1024Mhz as max, do I have to edit the kernel somewhere to change the max value?

I put the zip on root dir of my sd card via pc, enter stock recovery and choose install update, but when i navigate to the sdcard, there are no files or directories.

Any thoughts?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Are you telling it to install update.zip? Look for an option to select zip file. (right now I'm not running stock.)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] killi:
the option is "apply update from sdcard"

again this phone is completely stock, stock recovery, everything, just out of the box. Let me see if changing the filename to update.zip helps

kernel for rooted roms

I've posted a zip of the kernel and the modules for rooted ROMs. If you want the kernel only, not busybox,su,superuser, this is the archive you need. Right now, it's manual install, download HERE

The kernel is still rooted, but only at adb level. IOW, adb shell will give you a root prompt. If you are not a ROM developer, you can probably ignore this post.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richardlibeau:
tried to install kernel on rooted stock rom and every time rom manager aborts it. know how to fix this so i can install the kernel?

Try just wiping cache/dalvik. A kernel flash shouldn't mess things up, but why not be safe...(assuming you have CWM)

thanks jocala .just wanted to make sure i didn't mess the phone up. It's good though.one question i have been trying ti flash a new boot image but it ain't working. cwm recovery aborts it how do you flash boot image using terminal emulator or command prompt? i never get the right syntax wrote to apply the command apparently.

won't work its in a bootanimation.zip in /data/local but i can't get it to change boot for some reason. got any suggestions?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
The instructions I posted are for replacing your kernel via the command line. That has nothing to do with a bootanimation.zip file. What exactly are you trying to do?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richardlibeau:
flash bootanimation.zip

Sorry i posted in the wrong spot. i got the kernel flashed fine. But i can't flash bootanimation.zip so i can change boot. cwm won't let me do it. do you know a better way to install a new boot animation another. i tried the dd command and it still didn"t change it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Sorry, dd nor clockworkmod aren't going to help you change boot animation. You'd best post in the dev thread, perhaps someone over there can give you a hand. It's out of scope for this thread.

Does this kernel have the device loop support needed for the ubuntu-on-android support?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Yes, it does.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
Okay thanks. I'm trying to get Ubuntu running on the exhibit and the guide says to ensure the kernel has support. I'm getting errors when running the script, it must be something else then. I'll post a guide if I can get it running good. The idea of running a full desktop OS on a phone seems just about as unstable of an idea as running a virtual machine inside a virtual machine. However, Linux has worked on devices as low-end as the Optimus S/V so I'm wondering how it will work out.

It would be really nice if I could VNC to ubuntu working over the phone's USB to somehow get a full size Ubuntu setup on a physical desktop computer while running Windows. That way if someone uses shared or public computers they could use the machine to work with their own persistent OS. This has already been done through a number of "Linux on USB key" projects. The concept of using VNC would be that you could use your Android's ubuntu on the computer then disconnect from that computer and continue working on the phone.

That actually seems like taking the whole idea of a smartphone and turning it backwards.

Wish me luck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Good luck, sounds like fun :)

For future reference, look in /sys/block.

loop0 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop0

This should tell you if you have support.

help rooting

I am a newbie, want to root using your system, my samsung exhibit ii is new, unlocked with a few apps on it, nothing important yet, my question is how first of all to get your zip file onto internal mem, I practiced booting into stock recovery successfully but only see 5 options, not sure what they all mean, i pick reboot syst now,in fear of bricking my phone. I don't see anywhere where it says to install up date zip? or zip file?which command do I pick? so 2 problems I am having .1 is how to copy zip to internal, 2 once booted into recovery what command do I select?

i want also to be able to use my phone as a hotspot, for internet on my tablet, hoping this will do the trick?

any thing special i have to do for this

thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
To copy the zip file to your phone, simply connect it to your PC via USB and drag & drop (turn off usb debugging, if on). Make sure you copy the file to your internal sd, not the external. Then choose the 'apply update from sdcard' option, selecting the t679-root file.

ClockworkMod

I've uploaded a seriously better CWM for our device, compiled from current source. It still identifies as 5.5.0.4.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21183029&postcount=2

Much better backup/restore and it works great with the Exhibit's external SD. This can be applied to any ROM via standard recovery, console or your current CWM. (Its menu says "internal sd" when it means "external sd". I'm aware of this. It may be an artifact of my current build setup)

The menu change "internal sd" was deliberately done by the author, Koush.

Uninstalling preinstalled apps

Hi,

I'm a Noob so forgive me if i am missing something or i am posting this in the wrong place. I followed the instructions above to root a stock exhibit ii 4g and all seemed to have gone well.....Upon reboot i had the superuser icon in my app tray. However when i go to manage apps to try to delete the tmobile bloatware on my phone i do not see the option to delete such applications....Am i missing something or are there additional steps which need to be performed to get rid of the preinstalled tmobile apps????

Thanks for your help

[Miscellaneous Android Development] SurgeRush:
You need to install a separate app. Titanium backup is a good one. I highly suggest buying the paid version so you can freeze the apps instead of just deleting them. If you don't want to do that, just be very careful what you delete and make sure you backup everything.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jebise101:
If i used Zerg Rush Root on my phone before, way back in January before we had a rooted kernel. Does that mean i just have to flash the kernel ^ or the regular no rooted version that adds root?

I'm using stock so its not a rooted ROM per-say, so just a little confused and don't really want to be bothered about root if i switch ROMS. With my SGS i always used rooted kernels so i don't have to worry about ROMS and can have root on any rom. So i'm thinking of flashing the rooted kernel, will this mess up anything?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
This kernel doesn't work like that. It installs busybox & su to your /system partition, they are not self-contained in the rootfs.

Try the "already-rooted ROM" kernel. It shouldn't break your current setup, since it's just a kernel & modules.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jebise101:
but will i have issues if i use the root kernel?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Sorry, I make no guarantees and give no warranties. Flashing anything non-official has inherent risks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jebise101:
ohh yes i know that i just meant if i was to flash a rooted kernel on a stock rooted rom will i have any issues? Because you have 2 versions for a reason, and if i use the rooted version vs the non rooted version will it cause issue.

I know there are always risk its just i want to install the rooted kernel because im using a non rooted rom that was rooted after with Zerg Root and if the phone is restored to factory settings or updated root is lost so at that point i would either use Zerg Root again or flash your rooted kernel.

That the only reason why i want the rooted kernel just to make life easier, i don't see it causing problems on even rooted rom since the kernel only add the app to /system/apps. So why release 2 versions?

I'm just thinking ahead of myself and probably confusing myself and you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
1. t679-root.1.1.zip installs itself and required modules, plus busybox and su.

2. kernel.1.1.only.zip installs itself and required modules, no busybox, no su.

With either choice, adbd set up to run with root permissions. I hope this helps to clear up any confusion.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Copy /system/etc/scripts/99dropbear to to /system/etc/init.d. Reboot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Real easy way if adb is installed on your pc (if not, why not?). Connect to usb and from a command line: adb reboot recovery.

Otherwise press & hold Vol-Up, then press & hold Power. Shortly after the plain white Samsung logo appears, release both buttons. ClockworkMod should start after the color Samsung/T-Mobile Exhibit logo.

Stuck on Samsung Logo, Odin says "Plz Connect Phones"

Good morning, I REALLY need help with my Samsung Exhibit 2 4g. I rooted it with ZergRush(did not know about the other method) and got Superuser. I was able to remove bloatware I even removed Touchwiz and installed FTL launcher. I did not remove widgets. But I also wanted to move some apps to the SD card. I installed an app to do that (can't seem to remember the name) one of the apps I was trying to move was not possible-i think it was clockworkmod-and told me to restart the phone. But after I did, now the phone is stuck on the Samsung logo. I try flashing a stock rom with SD card-pulled out and put in a different phone and then back to the exhibit-but the Exhibit doesn't see the file in the External SD -at the screen with the open box with the arrow and the android guy. I try Odin but when I plug it, i get no "Added, Detected" message and when I start it says "please connect phones" I just wanted to go back to stock I don't know what else do to. Please any help would be appreciated. I have a Mac and also Windows. I have the drivers install and even re-installed them-in Windows. Also, I can't seem to boot into clockworkmod so maybe it got deleted or something.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richardlibeau:
To have odin recognize the phone you need to be in ''download mode'' . To get into download mode turn phone on keep power pressed and volume down after samsung logo comes up about 3 secs it should go into 'odin download mode' . Then hook phone up to computer and try odin it should detect phone after that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ewardenp112:
Forgot to mention even in Download mode Odin doesn't recognize it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] richardlibeau:
Try another version of odin sometimes a different version will work better. If you can get into download mode than you should be able to get into recovery too. Do you have stock or cwm recovery? If you have cwm recovery than it is not deleted. You should be able to get into recovery after samsung logo by keeping power pressed in and volume up for 3 secs then let go of power but keep volume up pressed in the cwm recovery should come up. Then you can use zip from ex card to flash rom.
