[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Romracers has a couple of extra options. I believe one of them may be the choice to nandroid backup to either internal or external SDCard, but it's been so long I forget. Romracers has pretty much become the standard with the Atrix. So, in essence a slightly better option. I may need to be corrected, but I think some people have had problems flashing particular ROM's, radios, kernels, etc. with the ROM Manager version.

If you want you could also download CWM Touch through ROM Manager, but once again, the option to backup to external is not there.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Its KdC:
Thanks a lot. I mainly wanted to stick with ROM Manager cuz its simple. Lol

I will take ur advice and switch to ROM Racers (once i read up and learn how to). I have never deleted and installed a new recovery, but its something i need to learn anyways so i will take the plunge. Thanks a lot.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
You don't need to delete anything. Just download one of the Romracer zip files, (there are a few because you can have different colours), put the zip on your sdcard, and flash it with the current ROM Manager recovery you have just like you would flash anything else. It will replace it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgunderson:
galaxynexusmods.com brings you today's mod 'Grey Spill Nexus Navigation Bar.' In order to make the softkeys google (nexus) colors, they were made part of the nav bar image and the actual softkeys were made transparent. Just make sure that if you run this, you have your buttons set up in the same order as the image below (home,back,recent & search).

Run this through Metamorph and you should be good to go.

in need of some help im new to this forum and this phone and i just flashed my first rom which is miui and i went into the 4 way boot and selected recovery and cwm recovery showed up instead of cwm-rogue as i previously installed can anybody tell me how to get this back?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] klyang88:
Miui uses a different kernel (stock CWM). Cwm are built into the kernel. its a samsung phone thing. the one u had b4 was probably a stock rooted rom with rogue stock kernel. im not sure though. correct me if im wrong anybody
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Miui uses aosp kernel like cm7 there is only one ..... You have to have that kernel to run the ROM....sorry

Hi All, I'm beginner in Android Programming,

sorry for my bad english,

I want to build ROM maybe Gingerbread,

how much space requirement must i make in ubuntu? swap and for system?

I'm really don't get it after reading in android open source . . .

Thanks Before

:)
[Off-topic] Waddle:
If you want to make a rom based off Aosp you need at least 30 gbs.
[Off-topic] Nicgraner:
Like the poster above stated you need at least 30gbs for building, but most guides recommend around 60 just in case. Also be sure to allocate enough RAM to your vm box when setting it up.
[Off-topic] pongkite:
well whats the base kernel for building bro ? can I build it on ubuntu ?
[Off-topic] dexter93:
The kernels source if I remember well is about 3gigs.. meaning you could do with 25?gig partition for kernel development only
[Off-topic] ice-k:
thank all for your informations,

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nl3142:
I was wondering if Titanium Backup Pro will properly back up apps/games that have been moved to the SD card with App2sd Pro (got it free from Amazon but didn't download/install it until now). Or would it be better to ignore App2sd Pro and either use Titanium Backup or just keep everything in internal memory?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigandrewgold:
It probably will, but I would just use tibu's batch operation for moving all apps to sd card so you can be sure
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
Hey everybody, I'm looking into doing the whole root/rom thing with my Prime. I've done this on a couple of other devices, but the terminology seems to be different on every device family. With the Prime, a lot of the instructions I see involve using ADB to place files on the Prime. What is ADB, and how does it differ from simply using the drag/drop method of USB transfer?

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ÜBER™:
Android debugging its used to push and pull system files which is impossible via usb storage ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
Got it, thanks! I just never made the connection.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] teknomar7:
You don't even need to know anything about adb if you use the Viperboy root kit in the dev section. Just did it an hour ago. Very simple. Just read the directions thoroughly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
Alot has been said about the quality of various batteries that we are all looking at for our devices...however very little about the different chargers that are out there.

I thought my charger that I bought was defective cause I let it charge overnight and it wasn't fully charged. That is not the case.

The Charger that the Note comes with charges at 1A. Most of these external battery only chargers charge at 350mA.

Take a look at this calculator:

http://www.csgnetwork.com/batterychgcalc.html

Using the link to the calculator above, you should expect a 2600mAh battery to fully charge using one of these cheap chargers in about 9 HOURS!! The charger that the note comes with should expect about 3.4 hours. That's a huge difference in charge time!!

So be sure to take a look at the output of these chargers before you get too excited and purchase one. If it takes you 24 hours to charge a battery, what good is it to you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aerials:
Thanks for the battery reference URL.

This is basically another scenario of 'you get what you pay for..'

It seems to often apply to batteries and chargers.

Whereas for like cases, you have a better chance of actually saving money and getting quality at the same time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SPtheALIEN:
So I guess for battery longevity, you should use a 500 mA charger (the typical USB output). That way it doesn't charge it too quick (and overheat the battery).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
No, actually. Lithium ion batteries, unlike nickle-cadium batteries actually perform and last better with short, fast charges. Android's battery stats are helped by a few full cycles, but it is not better for the battery to full cycle or slow charge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lmike6453:
Thank you for this information, very helpful as I have other phone chargers. Is there a way(Windows based utility) to tell how many mah a USB port is outputting while charging?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
A multimeter :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
*I am not an electrical expert, I just play one on TV.*

There are standards for USB outs. Just Google the standard. That said, there is USB1, USB2, and now USB3. Check your motherboard to see which one you have. There is also a newish thing on motherboards that will do a rapid charge by changing a setting on the BIOS. That's what i got off the top of my head. Do a little research. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ipaqman01:
As was pointed out on another thread, the Note looks for a low resistance/short between pins 2 and 3 of the USB cable. If it sees the low resistance, it enables a high current charge; otherwise, it sticks with USB standard charge of less than 500 ma. The 2/3 pin setup is not true of USB connections to a computer. The Note power adapter is set up this way to do a fast charge. Most chargers and portable battery chargers leave pins 2 and 3 unconnected, so they will not fast charge a Note even if they can supply 1A.

I purchased a Scosche 5000 mah battery with USB ports for charging Ipads, Iphones, and other devices. It also charges a Galaxy Tab with a special USB adapter plug. I tried the Tab adapter with my new Note and it was charging at 5 percent charged every ten minutes or so. Without the USB adapter, the Note charged at 2 percent every ten minutes or so. Without the adapter, the Note displays an MTP initialization notification. With the adapter, there is no MTP notification.

The Scosche battery is a big improvement over older Trent 5000 mah batteries. There is a push button to turn the Scosche battery on. The battery will turn off if no device is attached or it the device is fully charged. One of the ports can output 2.1A for an Ipad. The Trent battery would run down if it was left on.

Staples carries the Scosche battery for $80. I used a $29 online coupon from Staples that expires 3/5/2012.

I did not see anywhere on the Scosche website where they sell the Tab adapter by itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:
Do you have a model number on that USB adapter? Maybe in the instructions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ipaqman01:
There is only the name Scosche on the adapter. The guide only calls it the Galaxy Tab adapter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] capite:
What does an "MTP initialization notification" look like on the Note? How do I identify it?

If I don't see it when charging, does that mean it's getting a fast charge for sure, or just that it might be?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] capite:
How exactly would you use a multimeter to do this? From what I've seen, they have two contacts -- where would you stick those? Or is there some kind of micro USB conversion thingy to use with a multimeter?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
Cut a USB cable, and strip a portion of the power wires. Set the multimeter to a 10A DC current scale (assuming it supports 10A, but most craftsman and up do, with common and a 10A lead), disconnect the plug, attach common to negative wire and positive to positive wire, gator clips or something, then plug it in and read it. The current support and time it can be on depends on the multimeter. Mine does up to 10A for Max 30 sec.

I have apk manager 5.02 which I can de-compile framework and recompile with out any issues.

I downloaded the stock 2.08 sense 3.5 rom and used explore2fs to extract the contents of the system.img file. From there I then put htcdialer.apk file into apk manager to decompile it and I get the following errors:

See attached log file as it is too big to put into the forum.

Any ideas why the apk file is not decompiling?
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
I dont hink that apkmanager can correctly decompile sense 3.5 apks, I could be wrong but i could never get them to work properly
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
If APK Manager and Tool cant extract even GB ROM apks is there a way of extracting and editing xml files? I tried 7zip and I can edit images but XML's do not extract correctly
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
Really interested to see how to edit XML files if APK Manager and APK Tool cant decode the APK's.
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
Found out what I was doing wrong!! When decompiling the apk file I wasn't adding the dependancy. So for example when I was decompiling the systemui.apk, I was simply using option 9 to decompile which is not right!

What you need to do is copy the systemui.apk file in to place-apk-here-for-modding

Then find the dependency framework so for example the systemui.apk depends on com.htc.recources.apk. So pull this from your phone on to the desktop and then use option 10 to decompile. It will then prompt you for the dependancy apk file. Drag that on to the command window and press enter and it decompiles! It is easy when you know how :D
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
Also when you recompile you will probably get errors...You need to take the newly created classes.dex and drop it into the original apk then push to your phone
[HTC Sensation] AboRa3d:
Where can I find the dependency file??

I got the same problem when I try to Decompile any system app, like "SystemUI.apk" or "Settings.apk" ...etc

Now I understand from you that I need a dependency file, Where can I get it??

I use Samsung Galaxy SL (I9003), Rooted and Deodxed

i use samsung galaxy mini. can i use apkmanager to decompile any apk for my device......by pressing 9 directly.....? i want to decompile settings.apk....thnx in advance......:confused:

I've noticed a lot of familiar faces around here, how many people here came from the Evo 3D? I used to think once the Evo got AOSP the phone would work better. I wish I had waited for this phone with my upgrade! I bought this on Ebay, I just couldn't take the lag anymore. It's such a night and day difference. Are you other folks satisfied with the switch?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Hell yes this phone is night and day better than evo3d.... There is no looking back from here

Glad I made the move. Even sold back my EVO3D with a broken screen to Sprint for $125 and bought the 4G Touch on Amazon for $79. Win win! If I could only access the 3D images and vids women volunteered to test for me... :D

Lol I trade my 3d straight across for this last weekend. It has been the best trade ever. I had the vibrant on tmo so its like coming home with this phone and using Odin.

I havent had one build quality problem since day one. even tho they said I would. i did however have multiple issues with the 3d over a couple of them. also as far as samsung being shady with updates. not for this phone! this is getting Ice cream sandwich very soon. I laugh everytime I see one of those threads. they don't realize how easywe have it over here where there is no need for a site like htcdev.com to unlock a bootloader like the evo 3d needs. welcome to the green side :)

I got the Evo 3D on launch day...in November, this phone came up for a penny on Amazon, and I had to go for it. When it came in, I was shocked at how much smoother and faster it was than the Evo.

I had the evo 3d on launch... Then sold it and got a epic touc on launch. Then traded the epic touch for 150+	a evo 3d.. And just sold it 2 Weeks ago then bought a white epic touch..

(came out positive with cash in the end )
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] papajetta:
i consider my evo 3d to be the worst smart phone ive ever had... cmoming from a pair of iphones and a evo 4g.....

it wasnt worst than my previous phones face to face, but more the next day satisfaction took a huge dive with this phone. it was very laggy compared to my rooted evo 4g. and i never got used to the 3d screen. 3d was more of a show off feature for my friends.

et4g on the contrary is the best phone ive ever had. never thought i could get this type of battery life from a smart phone. touch wiz, as unpopular as it may seem, is light years ahead of htc sense.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bear gri11z:
i agree sense 3.0/3.5 was horrible and a RAM hog

it was a WOW phone for the first 2 weeks.. then the reboots/light leaking/jacked up bezel got to me and i had to sell it and get the epic touch (after trying out the photon for a few days)

why i went back to it for a few months god only knows but the hboot 1.5 fiasco was horrid too.. i dont think ill ever buy a HTC phone again ( unless by chance its a Nexus)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donnyespo:
Had a 3d and had issues with touch screen even thou was rooted sprint gave me a replacement on hboot 1.500 so gave it to my girl sonce she doesnt care about root or not. Had og evo and 3d this by far is the best to date.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevalB:
I have both, and switch between the two from time to time, usually when I'm flash-happy, and I do miss the higher res screen on the 3D. I really wish Samsung had tossed in the 960x540, vs the stock 800x400.

That being said, the Epic Touch blows away the 3vO in everything else, completely.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elterible:

I know it sounds crazy, but if you live where speed is 56k x2, you would understand every bit counts, and I tried everything from changing proxy to flashing dataspeedtest.zip, none of them helped improving speed.

I dont need really fast, but fast enough to watch youtube or streaming music, I had no choice but switched back to Evo 3d, at least with it I found my Phone useful while at work.

I switch from the EVo3D and it was the best decision for us Sprint users. Maybe for anyone at the time ;). Only thing I miss (which I have installed from the market anyway) is the keyboard!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] br0ken_shad0w:
The form factor is what won me over. So light and thin. I made sure I signed up and the end of August so I can easily decide between keeping the EVO 3D or getting an Epic 4G Touch once it gets released less than a month later. (Sprint's transfer credit ended that month as well as their 30 day return policy) I made the switch as soon as it was officially released. Never regretted it (I knew the next Nexus device isn't going to be released till April at the earliest for Sprint).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
