[Motorola Droid Bionic] codenamefly21:
rechargeable battery powered usb host connector

I've been working on this forever partly because of laziness but also because I don't have much free time. This device uses an iphone battery with a stepup circuit to 5v wired to an on/off switch. I also built a charging circuit that takes a micro usb and has a red status light to show when charging and a green status light to show when its on. This unit will power any usb device including portable hard drives that only require power from the usb. Even though its been a long process it was fun making it. I built this to see if I could and also for my dad who would like to see picture from his wild game cam then and there at the camera copy it then wipe the SD card and put it back in.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] arana1:
so you dont need to solder stuff? and can you please reup the images? recommend, a hub? and if possible explain how to connect? (i cant see images maybe they are clear enough) will we need an OTG cable or just what you said?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] codenamefly21:
You will need an otg cable. And just about any usb hub will do. I got several cheap ones and they all have worked. All you need to do is power the usb hub and the cable on the usb hub you would usually plug into the computer plug a usb otg cable on to it and then plug that into the phone. Thats all.

Sabrent 4 Port Hub & Soldering

I used the Sabrent 4 port hub. Found it on amazon for $7. Instead of using a Y cable, I used a standard USB I had lying around and cut off the end to expose power and ground, then soldered those directly to the hub. Thanks a lot for the tips!

Also, I had a problem for a while because the OTG cable I was using was really just a standard to micro adapter! Beware this when making for yourself.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] codenamefly21:
Yes thats why i just went ahead and made my usb otg cable. Not worth waiting the month to get a cheap one from china just to find out its not a real usb otg cable. I used my gadget on a motorola xoom tablet and it worked only after i downloaded and used nexus media importer app
[Motorola Droid Bionic] spunker88:
If you don't want to build your own, this adapter from Amazon works great. Tested on my old Droid 3, Bionic and a friends OG Razr.

My Phone is stuck in a bootloop after installing the artic rom...its still looping and won't turn of.

I installed the thing where after you install a rom you boot into recovery but the rom skipped it even tho i installed the zip after i flashed the rom aswell..

I managed to get into AP Fastboot flash mode but i don't know how to flash my phone back to stock...can someone please help??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] KooTee:
You can turn off the phone by pressing simultaneously

power and volume down (-) buttons about 5 secs.

Then yuo can think about what i can to do next ;-)

I fixed my phone..thread can be closed
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
My phone is in boot loop right now and when I hit power and vol down, my phone with continually vibrate for about 5 seconds and then the screen goes out... but then it just boots up again :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] KooTee:
You can try push volume down button (and keep it pressed down)

at the same moment that screen goes out, maybe you can reach

AP Fastboot-mode in this way?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
Well I can get to the menu for AP Fastboot

But im at work.. i dont have the file or RSDLight here at work.

But I can get to the recovery and it gives me the option for "factory reset" or "apply update from SDcard".

If I have a backup from bootstrap, can I use that file under the "apply update from SDcard" option?

EDIT: No you cant apply from SD (a recovery)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] KooTee:
I think that yuo can't use backup from bootstrap via Motorolas recovery...

Maybe only way is install correct OFFICIAL Motorola ROM via AP fastboot.

Here is also good RSD alternative for flashing:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] MattyOnXperiaX10:
you close but it goes against what he just said. Once ur device powers.of press the volume keys then hold the power button ...it'll put u in recovery. You then need to scroll down twice I think to fast boot and press the up key to select....

You can only go down in this recovery. When you press up it selects. You will then need to follow a.vid on YouTube called how to restore Droid RAZR

DOWNGRADE SUCCESSFULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Couple things to note:

- dd command takes what seems like forever + 8hrs to complete. Honestly it was probably like 25 mins, obviously patience is key.

- Launcher was in a very, very bad place post downgrade. Used the Asus status panel to access settings, then apps, then cleared all launcher data. Worked like a charm!!!!!!!"

i'm really looking into doing this myself since .13 has been nightmare for me.

has anyone else done this, instead of complaining how bad .13 is and how good .11 was we should start finding solution to the problem.

This is one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
I would recommend against doing something like this because when ASUS finally does release their next patch who knows what might happen you might brick your Prime not worth the risk.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jeffw111:
I've done this successfully and my Prime is back to the full functionality it had prior to the .13 update no more random reboots, lock-ups or excess battery drain.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
Did you only took the BLOB from .11 instead of .13 and followed same steps? And did you do it from ADB or Terminal?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] id10terrordfw:
Worked for me, but I had to adb install Trebuchet to get around the launcher FC. I had to wipe data with TiBu after rooting. Simply using the Settins - Apps method then rebooting did not work for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jeffw111:
Yes that's correct take the .11 blob and follow the same steps from page 1 of the original post.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Grammatron:
Followed the steps and restored my Prime back to .11 from .13 with no issues. Thank you!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I'm letting the update ride & see what they do for more "fixes" ;-) don't feel like doing that much effort as mine is now stable & I think I solved the battery drain issue for me (elsewhere) so I'm just hoping in their new "fix"they will give back some CPU states.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] se1000:
Fyi, after restoring .11 my prime (unfortunately) wants to update to .13 so this will not affect your ability to get future ota updates.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rand4ll:
And what do you base this assertion off of? What sort of of information or knowledge led to this recommendation?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doddsie:
Id rather know how to downgrade to gb if I'm honest. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
Finally downgraded myself to .11 good to have great battery, no more random reboot, and finally no more scare to lock my device thinking that ill go to deep sleep of death. When u do this downgrade, it doesn erase your app but the launcher give you force close. Just head over to app, launcher, close,clear and clear caches. This fix the force close problem. Either way i factory resetted again just to start from scratch and TB my apps back. Will not make the mistake on upgrading firmware until i see if is causing amy problems.

[Omnia II Android Development] Willy89:
Hi to all.

I have a samsung b7610.

I've installed the cyanogen mod beta 1 taken from modaco and developed by erickas.

Unfortunatly wifi doesn't works so i can' use the market if not with sim credit.

So i want to ask you if someone knows how to share pc internet connection with my phone, also known as reverse tethering.

Someone could help me?
[Nexus One General] LaserGecko:
Hi,

A friend and I recently ran SuperOne Click, unlocked the bootloader (yeah, I know now), and used ROM Manager to install Cyanogen 7.1.0-N1 on my Nexus One.

I had backed up all of the apps and data with MyBackup Pro. That proved to pretty much be a waste of time since all of the apps needed to be reinstalled from the Market to work.

It runs pretty well, but I cannot move an app to the SD card without the phone restarting from the skateboarding . I assume this is because the app already exists on the card. When this was in issue in stock upgrades, I just had to move it twice. At least it wouldn't crash!

Did I do anything wrong?

Any help is appreciated!
[Nexus One General] LaserGecko:
Does anyone have any idea why the stock CM ROM crashes when it moves an app to the SD card?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandall88:
I realize there have been many threads on this, so my apologies for starting a new one. But many that I read were either outdated, or just the same info that wouldn't work for me.

I have a rooted Kindle fire, Market is installed, GMail, etc. All working gloriously. Also, I can get the Calendar app to install. However, I can't get it to sync.

I have followed instructions very closely and even tried a couple of different variations(I have a backup image that I use to restore after each one). I have made sure the calendar sync apk file is in the right place, permissions set, etc.

Is there something I'm missing? When I go into the Calendar app, it doesn't let me add events or select calendars though I do have multiple calendars on my Google account.

If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate the help! Thanks!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GBH2:
you need to add GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk

There is info on this page:

http://www.esotech.org/blog/technol...etplace-and-google-apps-on-amazon-kindle-fire
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandall88:
Thanks, but I already have that in place. In fact, I have tried multiple versions of that file that I've found, including the one on the page you linked to.

I go into Root Explorer, copy that file, go into my system/app folder, mount for R/W, paste the file, change permissions to all read and the top middle write, then unmount back to RO, restart device.......no luck.

Is that process incorrect? I'm assuming it's something that I'm doing wrong since many people have gotten it working with the same files. But what could it be?

I installed the file mentioned above BEFORE installing the calendar app, and I always reboot after changing permissions, etc.

Any other ideas?

Brent
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandall88:
If it helps, my calendars don't even show up for sync in the Account Settings that I access using the GMail app. I do have the option to sync Picasa, Gmail, and Books, and all options are checked. But no calendar option.

So somehow, my calendars are still not being seen for whatever reason, despite doing everything exactly as instructed.

I'm so confused!

Brent
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GBH2:
I set my permissions on GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk to 777, full open, read/write/execute as the instructions said. Try that.

If that doesn't fix it I would start over from scratch, find a good tutorial and be sure to add everything you need and set the correct permissions. It is possible that you installed a corrupt file or made a small error along the way.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandall88:
Yep, already tried that with no luck.

As I mentioned, I'm sure that I'm missing something, but I've read through dozens of pages of people figuring this out, and nothing has worked for me. I've tried different packages and started over from scratch numerous times.

Everything works except for Calendar sync, including Mail sync, Books sync, etc. Market works and all other applicable Google apps. Which makes it even more confusing.

Brent
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandall88:
Well, tried everything all over again, and still no luck.

There has to be something I'm missing. There is nothing different with my Fire than anyone else's. It's rooted with BurritoRoot and this is the first thing I try each time I restore to the freshly rooted system.

Outside of the calendar sync apk, do I need to move any other files to the system/app folder? Maybe another file I could be missing?

Any other ideas?

Brent
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ontwowheels:
Hmmmm, mine works. I had rooted first with buritoroot, then lost root with the 6.2.2 update, then rooted with burittoroot2. I had the calender sysching under both version of the stock rom 6.2.1 and 6.2.2. All I ever did was place the calendarsyncadapter in the correct directory, change the permissions and it worked....
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdock:
Going out on a limb here because it sounds like you're doing everything right...

Have you tried using your Fire in a different location? Like a friend's house or mcdonald's? The reason I ask is just that maybe for some reason your wireless network is doing something to the traffic going to google's servers for the calendar syncing.

Also I would be curious if the pocket informant app works for you. It says it syncs with your google calendar but for me that appears to only work when I have the calendarsyncadapter installed and working. So it would be a good test to see whether the google calendar app itself is the issue. Unfortunately it's a pay app (I got it when it was FAOTD).
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandall88:
Yeah, very strange. I did just that, putting the googlecalendarsyncapadapter.apk into the system/app folder and changing permissions to match the rest of the folder, but no luck. I've tried so many times and nothing.

I still Google around, but can't find anything else I haven't tried. It's driving me absolutely nuts!

Brent
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandall88:
I actually own PI(bought it a few days ago, actually), and it's a great app, but no, it doesn't work. I can use it with it's own built in calendar, but it won't sync to Google since I have no calendars available on my Fire.

I have used it in more than on location and have had no luck, btw. So it's not the network.

Baffling!

Brent
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b63:
did you try with "any cut" - account and sync settings ?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22211816&postcount=6

allthrough this should not be necessary but who knows ...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandall88:
Yes, I have used it. It actually takes you to the same account and sync settings that can be accessed through the GMail app. When I tried Any Cut(a great app, btw), I still didn't have the checkbox for syncing calendar, just the mail and other items.

It's all just very strange since every other Google app works(which tells me the framework is fine), and I can bring up the screen to select calendars in the calendar app, but there are none there.

I'm running out of hope for this. It's possible I'll just have to do a ROM flash with a "full" Android version.

Does anyone know if I could copy the calendar sync apk from my HTC Evo or anything(since my phone obviously syncs fine)? Would they be significantly different versions or possibly mess anything up?

Brent
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b63:
when you take care of the permissions nothing bad should happen

would just give it a try - can't be more that it don't work
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandall88:
Yeah, I'll just have to try it again. It's a bummer because I've been able to get pretty much everything else to work that I want, including alternative text input methods with handwriting recognition! So if I could get the calendar to work, I would be very happy!

Brent
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdock:
Another thought - you didn't lose the case of the filename did you? i.e. it's not literally googlecalendarsyncadapter.apk, but GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk right?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandall88:
Good suggestion, but no, I kept the file as-is, and just checked to be sure.

I'm curious, but should I place anything in the data/apps directory? I know that with some things, such as alternative keyboards, I need to place a file in there as well. I tried it with the calendar, but no luck. However, maybe I did the wrong files or something?

One more question, is it possible to uninstall everything related to the calendar and sync without deleting each file or restoring the system? Can I wipe the device of anything calendar related? Not sure how many folders it places files into.

Also, and this is probably a longshot, but can I use my recovery program to run the signed gapps file from the CM7 thread? Will that place everything correctly? Or will it only work with the CyanogenMod?

Brent
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandall88:
Also, just for reference, I even tried a couple of times using the Kindle Fire Utility to install the Google apps, and it still didn't work. Surely THAT would have done it right?

Brent
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] collindv:
I'm having exact same problem. I've tried everything listed in this thread and still can't get calendar to sync. any suggestions?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GBH2:
Sorry, you are not having any luck.

I had a couple more thoughts you could try.

I just checked and in my app drawer I have an app called "Sync Settings", for the accounts I use with google calender they say "sync is on". You may want to check this.

Also, I before I got my calender to sync by adding googlecalendersync, I got Google Currents working which added some stuff required by Google for sync. You may want to try that as there may be something there that is needed. That thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1382925

Good Luck!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandall88:
Thanks, I'll give Google Currents a try!

I do have the Sync Settings(which takes you to the same settings page as GMail uses), and next to my account, it does say "Sync is on". In fact, when I go into that account, it shows all the sync services such as Picasa, Books, Docs, etc. But no calendar listed. And I can confirm that the items that are there ARE syncing correctly. For instance, my Google Books and Docs both have working sync with my Fire.

I'll try the Currents thing though. Surely can't hurt!

Brent
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] collindv:
Ditto. Looks like we are in the exact same boat. Please let me know if you find a solution and I will do the same.

The only thing I have to add is that when I first started hacking my kindle I installed the calender apk and opened it before I knew I had to "install" the sync apk. I wonder if this is the issue. I have tried uninstalling and starting from scratch with both apps but still won't sync.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandall88:
I tried the Google Currents thing, but no luck. Still no sync. The Google Currents option WAS added to my sync settings so I could check it's box to have it sync. But still no calendar.

I'm having the exactly same problem (including frustration for loosing the last 2-3 days trying to find and testing all the sugested solutions posted on XDA and other websites).

Not sure about your FK, but mine is rooted and running "6.3_user_4019920" OS. (updated as soon as i powered it up for the first time, from 6.0 if i recollect well).

I'm still searching for a way to solve this problem, and I'll come back and post it in this thread if I'll find something that works for me, but at this point I'm thinking about flashing a different "non-stock" ROM on my FK. I just hope this won't be needed, as I'm an Android noob atm and I've read that there are tons of bugs in these custom ROMs as well and I'm afraid I'll be jumping from one issue to even more issues... :(

Probably not a lot, you could try overclocking but I doubt it'll make much difference.

The likely solution is to just wait for the official release, maybe the graphic drivers are a bit buggy since it's beta. Or a Fruit Ninja update might come along.
