[HTC Incredible S] InsertDumbNick:
Yeah i tried doing that. But get this error message in CWM:

Couldn't open directory.
No files found.

The Backup is in a folder "2012-02-12.06.04.17" and this folder is in the sd-card root. Do i have to copy the files in this folder to the root as well??

Edit: I forgot to mention that the above nandroid backup folder was saved in my computer and the sd card on which i had made the backup initially was involved in multiple formats during my futile attempts to gain S-OFF ..
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
You shouldn't have to. Was the backup created in cwm? Have you checked that the files are in the folder? What option were you using to restore your backup?

Another option would be to installed a custom ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] way2shree:
I guess if you are using CWM, the folder will not be on root.

As far as I remember, it use to be in some folder named CWM or ClockWorkMod something like that.

I guess the folder "2012-02-12.06.04.17" should be under "\clockworkmod\backup\" folder.

Not quite sure as I am using Ext4 recovery now.

But guess someone around here should tell you the correct folder structure.

And, I guess if you could try to mount card on your computer you will be able to see and modify the folder and put it in right place with correct backup directory.
[HTC Incredible S] InsertDumbNick:
I think i have to create a few folders since the path that CWM is looking for the recovery doesn't exist. Can you tell me the correct path so that i can create an identical location to copy the backup to??
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
It'd literally take you 5 mins to install a custom rom? And then in theory your fine will work perfectly. Then just set it up and create a nandroid.

When I had problems I formatted the SD card and only left the CWM files on. Then it restored/worked fine.
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
way2shree was correct in his post about the file structure. I think you need to do a bit of research before you do any serious damage to your phone.
[HTC Incredible S] InsertDumbNick:
Like i said the SD card on which CWM made the backup was formatted many times. Completely. So i had copied the folder with the backup to the computer.[Newb mistake. I realized the hard way]. And no the path is not \clockworkmod\backup\. Thanks anyway shree. Also i think CM7 is the only 1 that can be flashed with a S-on phone. so ill keep that as a final option since i still like sense.
[HTC Incredible S] InsertDumbNick:
I looked all over the place and found only this \clockworkmod\backup\<date> . Made both the folders but still not recognized. Can anyone confirm that this is in fact the correct path??
[HTC Incredible S] InsertDumbNick:
Phew. Atlast got the backup restored. THank you guys for all your help. Looks like i wont be doing anything android related for the next MONTH till i at least have a general idea of wth im doing. :D

Hi, I have a problem with this method.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928160

I did all the steps, and when I rebooted my phone the screen shows me a white screen with the logo HTC (Desire Z), and it does not continue.

I have installed the hboot, eng boot, and it works, but I do not know how to use it or copy it in the sd as an image of a rom. Can I install the rom from hboot?, Can I install a recovery from hboot?.

Greetings and thank you very much.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiglay:
There always used to be a post about "Do not ever use Visionary to root your device" as it has a high chance of bricking your phone. Indeed, in the article you posted, it states to use a different method. The best and safest method I understand is in the Wiki.

Recovery will depend on whether you can get into the recovery. Try press the trackpad while powering on. If you get into that, you have a chance of recovering your phone.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoffmas:
1. you shouldn´t have used visionary :(

2. if you really got a eng hboot do the following: download a recovery.img (here a link):

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD

...then start a cmd.exe and type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

afterwards you should have a custom recovery, enter it mount usb storage put a rom (.zip) on your sdcard unmount and flash it.
[General Questions and Answers] mrakfds:
I have a xperia mini st15i... i had done the root a few days ago... now i want to know is that... should i leave USB debugging on everytime i connect my phone to my pc??.... plus rooting software by Doomlord... should i leave it on my pc or should i delete it??? cos i'm afraid that it may run automatically and may do something unwanted to my device... pls help...
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
You don't need to leave USB debugging on. Lots of people do, and that's fine, but unless you know you need to specifically turn it on then it serves no purpose.

The rooting software that you used, by Doomlord, doesn't run unless you run it. You may want to keep it for future reference. If you were to flash a custom ROM at some point then you may need to root your device again. If that happens it would be handy to already have the software. Alternatively, just keep a bookmark of the thread where you downloaded it.

Hope this helps :)

MIUI.us 2.2.3 (ICS look) , Port from Sensation

All credits to MIUI.us team.

This is just a port.

Thanks to:

- MIUI.us

- kornyone for his GB kernel

- daniel60104 for his port of GB rom, inspiring this

- JKILO for his ideas about keyboard remapping.

Finally found out that some garbage was left in my doubleshot keylayout. Removing those and using doubleshot original keychars kcm bin made the hw keyboard work.

INSTEAD OF TRACKPAD WAKE, USE MENU BUTTON, THIS IS MENU WAKE INSTEAD.

What doesnt work:

- FM Radio

- Sym and www keys

- Don't boot it while USB is plugged in. Prevents booting. (Might be just Bootmanager Pro that i use)

...you tell

I won't support this ROM, MIUI.us is deving the ROM. If I get there I might update this once in a while, or someone else surely will.

Notice:

- it's using adreno200 drivers (not 220, the new leak), and reports itself as Android 2.3.7 in MIUI About Phone. No idea if it's true ICS. But the whole look of it is ICS blue.

- it's bootmanager pro compatible, booted this as a secondary rom.

- recommended is to install the ICS keyboard from market, the keyboard is Sensation screen optimized, so hard to press the buttons (or you can fall back to HW keyboard instead)

-Can't get GPS to turn on

-Keyboard home, menu, back and search (genius button) don't work. They work on the front but not the keyboard.

-No keyboard backlight

Edit: 3rd reboot GPS on and locks normally.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
is this using Kornyone's GB Kernel, or your Hacked ICS Kernel.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
This isn't a true ics rom it seems to me, so kernel its kornyone's, just like the gb miui.

This rom has no genlock and no new adreno driver, so its somewhere between gb and ics, as the theme is ics. No idea if there's a real ics miui.us in the works...

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] zaxondis:
Just to confirm, is this still a gingerbread build? Sorry just a little unclear in that. Thanks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
It seems to be a kind of hmm in between the two. I read on sensation thread that its the ICS stuff, and its version number is 2.2.3, bumped from 2.1 of the GB builds.

It looks ICS themed, but to me it seems that it's very close to the GB one. In the About Software it tells me its Android 2.3.7. So I think it should be callesd ICS looking GB. Probably Chrome wont run on it, havent tried tho.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] N1LOY:
Thank you very much! :D

Great work your doing here on MT4GS forums tbalden, but I think I'll stay with your senseless pyro-ice :)

Well, the more choices the better. Miui is very great for iphoneish style. (Atm I'm on ics pyroice sense 3.6, I got used to the bloat :D )

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] zaxondis:
Thanks that's pretty much what I thought might be the case. I may give it a spin later for fun and see if Chrome or any other ICS-only apps will run on it just for fun. Probably going to stick with one of your true ICS builds though. :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] shady503403:
chrome doesn't even show up in the market in order to download, so pretty sure its true that its just the ICS themed miui, but the build number is on the latest from miui, well one of them since its updated every week..

hopefully we get miui ICS soon. XD

i love miui sooooo much, the themeing is just so ridiculous and all the tiny "tricks" ive just been so used to.. but ICS deff takes miui so i'll be switchin back to that.. :/

can someone pls tell how to remove the clock from lock screen on wolf's rom ? i tryed changing BlankSerif.ttf with Clockpia and no result. can someone make a flashable zip or something to remove the clock on lock screen
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] jackxx:
i'm not sure but you should make a backup before try this:

1) entre to your framework-res.apk\assets\fonts

2) delete those fonts, so ready

3) reboot your device and watch your lockscreen :D

note: also you can change those fonts with the same names!!! to see other kinda fonts in your watch lockscreen... good look!! :D

((( sorry for my english :p )))
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] JeJupan:
in assets/font there are only 2 fonts SoMAlight and SoMAregular if i change those won't it change all the fonts on my phone ? i only want to remove the clock
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] jackxx:
Well actually those fonts only can change the lockscreen font, that is what i realized... As i said before make a backup of your actually rom then change/delete those fonts.

Just try..
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
to remove the clock, go to res\layout-hdpi (i guess, can't remember from the top of my head, i'll check once i get home) and open the one and only xml file you find there. then delete semc.clockwidget or whatever it's name is. btw why you want to do that? if you upload the framework-res.apk for me, i'll do this for you at home (approx 3 hours from now), if that's okay.

Other option is the set the font color to transparent.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Dr.Gonzo105:
Could you upload the font folder you used or changed in the framework?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] jackxx:
This is the font i'm using right now
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
here it is!

so here it comes, decompile the framework-res.apk with apk multitool. go to projects folder, find the folder called framework-res.apk. go inside, then go inside the res folder, then find layout-hdpi and inside that, you'll find only one file, called keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml. open that with notepad++. find the following code:

<TextView android:textSize="104.0dip" android:textColor="@color/white" android:id="@id/timeDisplay" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<TextView android:textSize="18.0dip" android:textColor="#c0ffffff" android:id="@id/am_pm" android:paddingTop="35.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="-12.0dip" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/timeDisplay" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />

change it to:

<TextView android:textSize="0.0dip" android:textColor="00ffffff" android:id="@id/timeDisplay" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<TextView android:textSize="0.0dip" android:textColor="#00ffffff" android:id="@id/am_pm" android:paddingTop="35.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_margin

then find this:

<TextView android:textSize="18.0dip" android:textColor="#ccffffff" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:id="@id/date" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="-28.0dip" android:layout_below="@id/timeRelativeLayout24h" android:layout_alignLeft="@id/timeDisplay" />

change it to this:

<TextView android:textSize="0.0dip" android:textColor="#00ffffff" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:id="@id/date" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="-28.0dip" android:layout_below="@id/timeRelativeLayout24h" android:layout_alignLeft="@id/timeDisplay" />

then compile the apk, create a flashable zip and flash it via recovery.

this will change the font size to 0 of the time, the am/pm label (in case it's shown) and the date. plus it will change the textcolor to fully transparent.

it should work.

How did you get " please dont touch my phone and " jack's " ? Looks cool
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] jackxx:
It is easy men, there is a app called "carrier name".. This app can change the operator name, you can download from market it is free.

"dont touch my phone" you can make by modify you framework-res.apk and sistem-ui.apk or something like that...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Ax1012:
at the moment to replaces the original fonts of the framework-res.apk is necessary do it with two fonts files or you can just let one font file?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] jackxx:
Sure bro... You have to change both ttf.. That's an obligation
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Ax1012:
ok, thanks.

Last question, how can i remove "please don't touch my phone" from the lock screen.

i try deleting the .png files of this message but when i intall the theme the phone not pass from boot animation.

should i just edit the .png files deleting the message?
[Motorola Atrix 2] ri4naire:
I'm having the same issue but I've been able to use RSD to flash the modified FXZ used to return to 2.3.5 if you've ever updated. It won't update to 2.3.6 but I have a functional phone, albeit a bit crippled.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Shaliuno:
May I ask you to install Atrix 2 Bootstrap recovery from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346977

And do a nandroid backup from recovery. It will dump your system,boot,recovery partitions to sd-card. Maybe it will be enough to flash them to mine

Thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] ri4naire:
Alright, I'm going to reflash so it doesn't have any identifying material and then I guess I'll try uploading it.

I wasn't aware nandroid backed up everything like that, my last phone had some nice automated software. Do you think someone could dump us a full stock functional backup we could then flash?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Shaliuno:
I guess so.

I checked flashboot files for 2.3.5 and the latest OTA update.

The update is just a patch and applied in the same way as custom roms and tweaks.

For example. boot.img from 2.3.5 is patched to 2.3.6 using binary difference with the latest. So 2.3.6 replaces only the part of data in 2.3.5

bsdiff/bspatch utility can do it and its crossplatform but I'm stuck at IMGDIFF2 protocol which is described well on developer resources. however I dont have enough experience to unpack it, take required part, patch it and pack it back

But yes, I guess it is really possible to make a semi-official flashboot file for 2.3.6

I really hope it is possible.

Thats why I need nandroid backup to try to flash new boot and recovery images to mine.

Because downgrading to 2.3.5 using the method mentioned here didnt work me and my phone says recovery / boot images are wrong version. Maybe this will help...

I just want to make a point of clarification, though; the files I sent you are not 2.3.6, they're modified 2.3.5 based on the directions for downgrading.

Now modified 2.3.5 can be upgraded to 2.3.6 + root.

After getting into recovery I do wipe the /cache partition before flashing a new rom.

I use the HTC Desire HD and I've tried both Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 and Beatmod 6.2 and none of them get through the splash screen. They just load on the splash screen repeatedly.
