[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
this is pretty much how i am.

and i have never had a problem with either one so i can't really say. i was on CWM when i first rooted back in july, switched to the updated TWRP (not touch) and only did it because it had features that i thought would make using recovery a little more convenient like flashing multiple zips at once, etc, and because scott was nice enough to zip it up for us to flash through boot loader. quick and painless for us 1.4 users.
[HTC EVO 3D] StevetotheH:
I'm Hboot 1.5 and liked the CWM touch and the fact that its integrated into Rom Manager, but I also like the TWRP and the ability to pick as many zips as I want before flashing. Add FlashImageGUI.apk to either of these and I no longer care about s-off. My vote is for TWRP
[HTC EVO 3D] aFoodStampBaby:
I like twrp 2.0 because its touch screen controlled and it does everything faster.
[HTC EVO 3D] P.Mobile:
thats for sure!! last time i tryed cwm i thought something was wrong when i was flashing stuff because it took sooo long.. twrp is much faster i think..
[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
does twrp have the charging bug ?
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
I think it is not a matter of which is best, but some devs install scripts will not work for CMW touch or TWRP 2+. I use TWRP 1.1.1 but recommend asking the dev what he uses.
[HTC EVO 3D] P.Mobile:
i just tryed twrp 1.1.1 and every time i try and flash a kernel it wont let me??? thats why i always come back to twrp 2.0..

Got a Desire Z with Cyanogenmod 7.

The SMS app displays only with whom I was in contact but it does not indicate if I received the SMS from that person or if I sent it.

I tried a couple apps from market but they were all alike, including GO, Pansi, one other I already forgot. (Plus they had tons of features I don't need, ad supported. I need something *simple*.)

Suggestions appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] gullz:
I don't really get what you are asking for. Sms to and from one person are grouped in conversation. You can see which sms you sent by looking at the alignment of the person's picture (or placeholder for that). If you wrote it, its right-aligned.
[General Questions and Answers] joeldroid:
I believe the OP is asking like the other NON-Smart phone SMS display like you see messages in folders with Inbox and Sent items.

Well in android, I have no need for that coz grouping is the next generation and much logically displays your logical conversation.

Still you can do all your SMS tasks with this.

Did you try Handcent sms app?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
Doing some reading it looks like your recovery image is corrupted. You'll need to re flash your recovery manually.

You can get into the bootloader correct?

Noob's Guide #6: I just HTC Unlocked, what now?

Thank AgalychnisCallidryas
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cowboyv:
yeah, when I turn on my phone, it goes directly into CWMod, but I can go into Hboot, and select fastboot, recovery, etc., but the problem is my computer isn't able to identify the phone when it gets plugged in.

EDIT: I tried HBoot USB, and it tells me the drivers aren't correctly installed, something about android 1.0.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
Do you have any access to a Linux/Mac machine?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cowboyv:
A friend of mine has a mac, yeah. However, my brother also has a droid phone (Incredible 1) and may have the needed drives, would that work?

Edit: I was able to get the android dsk and platform tools from an old backup, I'll try to give this a go with it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
Use a windows computer, it's pretty simple. You'll probably need to uninstall the current drivers on that computer (Control Panel> Add Remove Programs or Programs under windows 7, Make sure all HTC Drivers are uninstalled)

Then go here

Install the HTC USB drivers and go from there.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
LOL. I just use mac, no drivers required.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cowboyv:
Ok, I was able to download the sdk, and reinstalled the htc drivers, everything's groovy, but the computer is still not able to "see" my phone, it's telling me "device not found".

Should I be using the "push" adb command to push in a new recovery image from CWMod?

EDIT: I tried doing the recovery again, this time, it went through checking the MD5 sums, erasing and restoring the boot image, but when it got to the system restoring, it tells me there was an error formatting the system.

So, since adb can't connect to the phone, what are my options?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
Read this and take note http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18016711#post18016711

You need to be in the bootloader and not recovery in order to do what you need to do.

You cannot re flash the recovery from CWMod. Remember the white screen with the android guys skating? That's where you need to be.

Either hold down the volume down button and hold power, or if you have your device detected by adb you can

adb reboot bootloader

This is where you flash the recovery image via fastboot.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1134520

Or you might even want to consider re flashing the stock RUU to unroot and just start over from scratch.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cowboyv:
That worked, but...

Ok, thank you! That did work. I just flashed the vivow, vut after trying to restore to the my latest backup, it still gives me the same error logs: it goes through checking the MD5 sums, erasing and restoring the boot image, but when it gets to the system restoring, it tells me there was an error formatting the system before giving me the same error message.

Error while formatting /system!
E:Error in /cache/recovery/log (Read-only file system)
E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

So I guess I'll have to flash the stock RUU and start from scratch. Just a question, though; to flash the RUU, I just follow the same procedure, go into fastboot, plug into computer, and use adb, correct?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
Right, Just follow this procedure and start over from scratch completely. Do not restore a backup because it seems to be corrupt.

Ok, I downloaded the zip file vwhk-12102011-c and have extracted it to my C: root, however, when I try to do the first code

adb shell rm -r /data/local/tmp/*

ADB tells me "error: device not found".

Now, apologies beforehand, as you may have noticed this is my first android phone and I am a noob, so some of my questions may seem a bit obvious to you.

1. I read that I rename the ruu to PG32IMG.zip, is this true?

2. Should I continue and flash the RUU zip via adb, or should I push the RUU?

3. Should I simply put the zip in a microsd and then restart the phone in bootloader?

EDIT: Nevermind, went ahead and did 1. and 3. and that worked. I still have the root access, but I need to re-install a recovery.

Once again, thanks.

This was just a fun little project. I love xkcd comics, so i made a bunch of boot animations with a comic strip on them to make me happy when i turned on my phone. Or at least, put me in a good mood after a random reboot :p

push to system/media and reboot.

Download a bunch and use with djmcnz's random boot animation script for a different comic every time:

Hey guys so I tried installing Icecream Tosti's ICS rom v0.6 but it after booting up I saw that the previous version (o.5) was still on the the phone and all my settings and stuff were still there. I had done a fresh install and was confused. So I tried again but it didn't work and when I tried formatting my sd card it wouldn't let me.

I have tried many different tools: Mini tool partition manager, easeus partition manager, hp sd card utility, panasonic sd card formatter, and windows disk management but I kept on getting the errors, can't format. I plugged in the sd card into the computer via a sd card reader and a usb sd reader and even tried different computers but the same error popped up.

Just recently I booted into the rom and plugged in the phone through the usb cable. When I formatted using some of the tools above it showed me the format process was completed, but when I unplugged the phone and rebooted the phone the sd card reverted back to its original state and the sd card was not erased.

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix it? or is my sd card completely gone. I feel like it is just locked and write protected but I don't know how to unlock it since there is no switch on the side. I will really appreciate. Thanks in advance.

Had serious issues upgrading from the previous beta on my Transformer Prime. It would get stuck at

for hours on end, even through a night! I force stopped Swype and restarted the upgrade several times and never got anywhere beyond Downloading...

Was reluctant to do a fresh install to keep my user dictionary, but in the end just got sick of trying and failing (I tried for a total of 2 days, several times, waiting several hours). So I uninstalled Swype, executed the installer and tadaa, 2 minutes later all was installed including the second language I needed.

If it wasnt such a great input method, it wouldnt be worth the PITA to install...

I had to restore my device last night back to stock, I forgot this would wipe my data, it's been a while. So when I went to reinstall my apps I could no longer find Verizon NFL Mobile in the Market, other Verizon apps show and install fine. So I went to the android market from my PC and tried to push the app to my device but was told my device isn't compatible and was grayed out???

Another strange thing is that it was listed as already installed on my market account from the web browser?? I was eventually able to install it using the Google Wallet trick.

Has it been pulled from the Android Market or is my account screwed up?

ATTN: Yes, I searched and I still don't understand so help a noob out.

From what I understand, it is recommended to use ACME over CWM for bug reasons or something; for that I have multiple questions.

1. When upgrading from whatever ROM of choice, do you just flash over using ACME, or must you wipe using the uninstaller or CWM?

2. When putting ROM of choice in cminstall (for ACME method), do you include Gapps or flash that afterwards via CWM?

3. What are the dangers of just using CWM and why is it crucial to use ACME if dual boot and such is already installed?

I will probably have more but I am just really confused about ACME vs. CWM. As of now, I have used ACME to flash cm7, then used ACME2 to flash CM9, and CWM to flash Gapps. I have no issues, no wipes, just curious because I'm lost lol.

For classicnerd CWM is used, flash rom and then Gapps before booting.

Are there anti spyware programs for smartphones?
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
If you want to be sure, install LBE Privacy Guard (free, on the Market). If you have that installed then it notifies you when you install a new app and tells you what permissions it needs. You can then turn them on and off at will to suit you.

I generally use it to stop apps that need network access or contact access etc. when I can see no legitimate reason for it. Usually permissions are incidental because the app will need 1 small piece of information, but it's bundled with a much larger permission group. Either way, I've never had a problem when refusing permission to apps with LBE.
