Its doing that with every ringtone -.- Ughh. How do I get my contacts back :( I did that and its only one account :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Go in your GMail account and make sure your contacts are in there. If they are you can get them back. Don't worry. And the ringtone thing you need to play with. I wasn't forced to have an ascending ringtone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
I now regret doing this -.- Ringtone not working right, Contacts gone -.-
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You can always flash back. Your contacts will sync. Your ringtone will work. I am on VB and don't have that issue.

Up to you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Yea but I want the phone to be fast and it to work well. Can i see a couple pics of the other rom you were talking about before?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
The problem has to be something with gb because I had a problem with the volume before i installed the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
If you want to amuse me - download GO SMS Pro from the market. You don't have to use it just download it. Then go into settings > sound then phone ringtone. It will ask you whether you want to complete action using android system or Go SMS Pro. Select Go SMS Pro then System Ringtone and pick a ringtone you haven't tried before. See what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
I wasnt even using go launcher tho..still low..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I didn't say go launcher. Go sms pro. And I'm asking you to do this because this is how I do it on VB and can't reproduce the issue you are having.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
ugh. ill do this nxt weekend. cant have a messed up phone all week. Its gunna take too long to go back to gb, then to vb. oh and can you link me to the other custom rom. imma try it in a bit.

This post has all the links to the ROMs and Tweaks I recommend.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
I wish there were pictures of the last two roms so I couls see what they look like before flashing. Gb comes with cmw or cwm right?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
CWM comes with the cutom kernel. Gingerbread is the ROM.

You flashed VB then immediately flashed back to stock. Whatever ROM you want to try I suggest playing with it a couple days before giving up on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
So cwm was on gb? Yeah ill play with it this weekend...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
GB stands for Gingerbread. Gingerbread is a ROM. CWM has nothing to do with the ROM itself. CWM comes with a custom kernel as I said above. Whether you have CWM with GB depends on whether you have a custom kernel with Gingerbread.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
So how did I get cwm on gb without installin a custom kernel....u told me to skip that step cus I already had...so it must have came with gb or magically appeared on there right?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Kernels are included with ROM's when you flash them...

Most of what you flash from here will have a custom kernel included.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
So lumin, how can i get my contacts back...Curently on Vanilla black
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You verified they are still in your gmail account online with your computer?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Idk, When i flashed back to stock they were there...so..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Flashster I want to help but I need you to check for me. Stock has T-Mobile Back Up. You saying you have them on stock and not VB makes me think you do not have them backed up in Google - you have them backed up with T-Mobile Back Up. You seem to have unique problems. I will help you but I need you to follow my recommendations to see if we can't work out the issues.

So get on your computer or browser on your phone, log in to GMail, go to your contacts and look and see if the contacts you want on your phone are there. And let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Ohh, They aren't on the computer gmail-.-
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
That's not a problem. That means you have them backed up with T-Mobile Back Up. We will put that on your phone and you will be good to go.

Do the following

:

Download the attached MobileBackup.apk to your sdcard.

Open Super Manager on your phone and go into [File Manager].

Hit Menu then [Setup].

Look for [Global Settings] and select [ROOT].

Check [Enable ROOT function].

Back out of settings back back to File Manager which will be the root of your sdcard.

Find MobileBackup.apk you downloaded.

Long press [MobileBackup.apk] and select [Copy].

Scroll back to the top of the root of your sdcard and hit [Back up level folder] two times.

Scroll down to [system] and select. Then select [app].

Hit menu then [Switch System R/W] and select [R/W] (it is probably already set to that).

Now go to menu and select [paste] to paste the MobileBackup.apk in the folder.

You are good to go! You may need to reboot into recovery and fix permissions!

Tell me if that fixes contact problem. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Its showing up as a zip file...so i cant install it on my phone..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Try again. It is not a .zip file as you can see.

And let's be clear - by install you mean following the directions above I hope!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Ok so i did what you said and it still didn't install...I followed everything you said..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
It won't say "installed." Just so you know. If you did what I said above correctly - go to Settings, then Accounts and Sync and see if T-Mobile Back Up shows up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
it showed up o.o
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Now go and hit thanks for being hard to help :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Well the contacts didnt show up but...the tmobile backup logo did -.-
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Did you click on it and check contacts to sync? And you can hit sync now and give it a minute to sync. It will tell you time and date of last sync.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Yeah didnt work -.-
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Now go to your stock contacts, hit [menu] and select [Display options], look for T-Mobile Back Up and select it and make sure it is checked?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
yup, this has to be a joke...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
So in Settings, Accounts and Sync it has a green circle next to T-Mobile Back Up and when you select T-Mobile Back Up -> Sync Contacts was checked and had a date and time under Sync Contacts?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Yessir! -.- I'm really hating this ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
It's not the ROM - I will tell you that. Are you able to log in to your My T-Mobile account:

https://my.t-mobile.com/Login/MyTMobileLogin.aspx

Go to MobileLife > Contacts and see if your contacts are in there?

You have to understand. You are new to flashing. You are learning. You SHOULD add the contacts you want to your GMail account and quit messing with anything else. You may have had your contacts stored on your phone and when you flashed to stock - you might not have formatted data. Doing that would have left your contacts on your phone. But when you flash VB - your data was likely formatted.

See if your contacts are in your My T-Mobile account. I have some recommendations for you that I will give you when you check that and you can follow my recommendations if you want. These issues you are having - I have not read ANYBODY else have similar issues (i.e. no contacts, ascending ringtone). You need to learn how to back up and sync your data if you plan to keep flashing ROM's. It will make life easier for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Well it says they are there but....Idk. It says 109 Contacts but when i click it no numbers show up....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I can really only do so much for you in regards to helping you over the computer. When I have accidentally had contacts sync to T-Mobile Back Up - when I go online it shows me the contacts - their name and has their phone number with it. And you are saying you don't see the 109 contacts and phone numbers? Maybe that's why it is not syncing. Also, syncing 109 contacts might take a little while... I don't know.

Your Accounts and Sync say your phone has synced with T-Mobile Back Up. Has a green circle next to T-Mobile Back Up and a time and date stamp showing they are backed up.

In your Contacts > Display Options you are saying when you click on T-Mobile Back Up, Contacts is checked.

The only thing left flashster is user error :D

---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

Here is my recommendation for Contacts Going Forward

:

Log in to your GMail account. Go to Contacts.

On the left hand side under your contact groups - make a new group and call it 'Phone Sync' .

Add all the contacts you want on your phone into that group.

So when you are on a ROM - You go into your stock Contacts > Display Options > Find your Google Account you just did this with and click it > it should show you your Contact Groups > Deselect all but Phone Sync.

Doing this you will ALWAYS have the exact contacts you want on your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Guess I'm stuck with froyo -.- Btw what layer were you using in that pic I asked of ur phone screen?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Now my other recommendation

:

START OVER using the Gremlin Remover between flashes. It is simple to use and worth the minimal effort.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22596598&postcount=1

Directions for Gremlin Remover

:

Follow thomas.raines' first two steps

:

Step 1

: Cleaning: Reset Device and Clear RAM

Part 2

: SDcard Wipe

Directions are in the post.

Then for Step 3

:

Use a USB port that you have NEVER used Heimdall with!

Extract Gremlin Remover.zip and open Gremlin Remover.exe.

Plug phone in to the computer and boot into download mode.

You should see a yellow box appear in the Gremlin Remover and it will say '0:[COM]' in it.

[If you do not see this yellow box appear - you probably do not have the correct drivers installed on that USB port for your phone]

Press the start button.

Odin will do it's magic and your phone will reboot.

When phone reboots you will hear Linda convert to ext4 (see notes at bottom).

Allow phone to sit for about 10 minutes.

Then - with Valhalla Black on your sdcard - flash Valhalla Black in CWM - or whatever other ROM you want to try.

I love and recommend Valhalla Black and am telling you I have not read others having the quirks you are having with it.

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

I have no idea what you mean by layer. Good luck man!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
I meant to say launcher....can I do this straight from froyo?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I use GoLauncher. And no, that is for GB only.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Paul22000:
In case anyone's still interested in purchasing:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0EJ-0009-00001

Amazing that there have been so many deals for the View. Is HTC trying to kill off its stock? I absolutely love mine. The only thing I'd ask is for it to be slightly lighter, but aside from that, the hardware is absolutely perfect for me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jacobbones:
I was gonna buy it, but after looking at the reviews of the marketplace seller I just cant do it.

Seems like even the 5 star reviews were saying the seller was horrible.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsweetness:
Probably the majority of the users here with the View purchased theirs through through that seller - 1SaleADay. Most of us got it directly from the 1SaleADay website when they had it for sale there more than once. Yes, they're very slow and may not respond to questions, but it's because their products are dropped shipped. While it's no excuse for poor customer service, the fact is that they are merely a middle man selling the product. They don't actually have the product in stock at their own warehouses. It's wholly dependent on the company with the stock to get things shipped out. Again, it's no excuse, but it helps to provide a better understanding of what kind of company they are, along with how they're able to offer things cheaper than many other companies.

That said, everyone received their Views ordered through 1SaleADay in new, as-described condition (with the few exceptions that there always are when anything is shipped from any company). Purchasing through New Egg provides an added layer of protection for the buyer that none of us who purchased directly from 1SaleADay had. So if you really want one, I wouldn't let the seller put you off from buying it in this case. Generally I wouldn't say that for marketplace sellers (feedback is a great way to know who to buy from and who not to buy from), but in this case, it's a little different. It's a good price for a great device.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Paul22000:
What is dropped shipped? I haven't heard that term before.

I got mine from eBay before Christmas from that one seller that sold 2000 in one day and then 3000 in one day the week after (bidallies I believe). No soft packing material, just cardboard, but mine arrived without a scratch. I'd say dealing with Newegg is the absolute best place to buy it, since you get their guarantee. It clearly says there is a 1 year warranty too, so that helps.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsweetness:
The all-knowing Wikipedia explains it better than I can:

"Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. As in retail businesses, the majority of retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price but some retailers earn an agreed percentage of the sales in commission, paid by the wholesaler to the retailer."

So, the seller doesn't have the actual items, they ship from somewhere else, and the seller has little information on the items beyond what the manufacturer or wholesaler gives them. It definitely makes good customer service more difficult. It's not an excuse for the complete lack of customer service that 1SaleADay has however.

With the View, which ships from the U.S., this isn't so much of a problem. Pretty much everyone received their orders in a week to a week and a half. Where most of 1SaleADay's negative feedback comes from is much of the other stuff they sell, which is actually held and shipped from somewhere overseas (often China). Many of the items are sub-par, they break easily (often in transit), and it takes far too long for them to arrive. Before ordering my View, I had made two previous purchases through their site. The items arrived as described, and they worked just fine, but it took over three weeks for them to arrive. In addition to this, given the nature of how they do business, it's next to impossible to return anything through 1SaleADay or receive a refund. So, people buy cheap junk from them, it takes a month to arrive from somewhere overseas, and then when it doesn't work or breaks quickly, they're unable to get a refund or replacement, and in turn leave negative feedback (which is understandable). But sometimes, they do sell some good stuff, like the View. And I'd feel even more comfortable purchasing through New Egg because they have other customer protection measures in place.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jacobbones:
Well I ended up buying the evo from newegg.

Im in no rush for it anyways. See how it goes

Hi

I tried to run the following command in fastboot mode after flashing to 407 ROM

fastboot -w reboot

wishing to clear all the cache data and my phone won't start. Doesn't show any thing on the screen. Is there anything i can do to start my phone??

All these happened while i was trying to root my DS.

Hi Radimus thank you so much.

I appreciate the time you spent to help and give your advices and expertise to all the newbies like me.

Well i think i bricked my DS and can't even repair it since there is no Dell's service center in my country(Nepal). Since it is still has warranty I was thinking to send it back to UK (where i bought it) last year but since i had changed from custom ROM i don't think the warranty still valid.

So I think I'm gonna have to give it up, but I'm gonna get the same again.......

best phone ever...

hi everyone,

since i bricked my DS (apparently) i gave it to a local repair center run by a friend of mine. He was able to give it a new life :p, but the only problem is that it is now locked!!! Since my DS was a factory unlocked i didn't have a unlock code or anything like that to unlock it and i don't think the guys from dell would give any random code to unlock it now. so is there any way out of it???

I recently switched my kernal from incredikernal beta 4 to anthrax. I made sure to wipe cache and dalvik before flashing anthrax. Everything seems to have worked perfectly but I noticed that when I try to lower my max from 1836, it never sticks even though I have it to set on boot. If I reboot my phone the bar is still set to my preference but above it says 1836. The min sticks, I just can't seem to get the max to stick. Is there anything that I can do to get my changes to stick?

Same with CPU Master. If you have problems they say to turn off perflock.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justcause91:
hello everyone,

as you can see in title, my problem is that i cant use the new effects of the camera included in the rom..e.g. distortion, vignette, depth of field dont have any effect on the photo, but old effects like black/white, sepia and so on are working fine...

additional info: if zoomed, the taken picture is always corrupted, or rather the right half is corrupted, the rest is still looking normal..and that goes for every htccamera apk i tried, and for every rom i tried...so maybe its a hardware problem?

my question now: is that normal? or am i doing something wrong?

with regards,

jc

ps: is there any working AMAZE camera for htc desire?

On most mobiles attaching the strap is easy, since there two slits which are like 90 degrees to each other.

SE decided to be original with the x10MP, and so the strap eyelet requires the strap to make a 180 degrees turn. This makes it cumbersome to use.

Has anyone found a method or a strap which can be easily used?.

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] boozboozi:
Hi everyone!

I'm gonna introduce you a custom ROM that I developed.

I have to say that I've used some features of the CM7 ROM.

First of all:i describe the specifications:

Its based on CM7 and has satisfied running speed.

Its included some updated applications that my friends have ported for x8.

and I've extended the application,but still it can be progressed and advanced.

I'm afraid to tell you:wait for subsequent updates.

General Specifications:

-Based on CM7,

-Additional useful applications,

-Worked on Sony Ericsson original kernel,

-A new lockscreen,

-Seperated theme,

-Fast copy/paste,

-Bravia hack features,

-Xloud sound features,

-Capable to deactivate LED at night,

-Louder ringtone(useful when the cell phone is in your packet),

-Fast/smooth scrolling,

-Multiple recovery and rerunning the system into xRecovery/CWM,

-Saving and installing applications into SDcard

*Defections : nothing of course with exaggeration.

Essential:Full wipe needed after installing the ROM to prevent unforeseen problems.

and...

*Make me happy with your critical view and guidance.

First of all - without credits your ROM will be deleted soon.

Third thing - add method of installation. xRecovery or ClockworkMod

And add some screens ;)
