Aroma Installer ROMs are not currently supported unfortunately. Check the bootmanager apps forum, there's people requesting for aroma installer support ;)
[HTC Sensation] MMoodyB:
That'll be why flashing ViperS v1.0.1 to an empty rom slot failed on me then :o

Installing a nandroid backup I had of it worked fine though.

It was slow to use, but I'm putting that down to my micro sd card for now until I try a few other roms.
[HTC Sensation] Alienator9191:
try an AOSP/AOKP rom to test, take less ram and storage, less data to be read by every imput you make ;)

I have that problem when installing cm based roms I lose mobile data also.
[HTC Sensation] Alienator9191:
Same prob here, i think just some bugs they forgot

[HTC Sensation] Alienator9191:
Fw= up-to-date?

Sorry, i just needed to feel the rom as main operating system, i love it to much, you can make a nandroid and put it as second rom ;) do note that it will take up more space then starting from scratch with just a zip file.
[HTC Sensation] mEMBER83:
Can you tell me some WORKING combinations with actual roms? I had no luck so far.
[HTC Sensation] iok1:
Viperss and aokp/cm9 is the only combination i got working.

That didn't work for me. Can you tell me your settings? Large boot.img? ext2/4?
[HTC Sensation] ThemeSong:
Same situation, no rom want work :D i try cm9, cm10 alpha, smartdroid, miui, and other sense 4 rom.

All have the same problem: when i reboot for go in the new sd rom, he goes in bootloop
[HTC Sensation] Philips9:
I would try dual boot with cm10 alpha(Actually, i have viperss v.1.1.0).

Do any of you tell me if it works?

can I also try the lite version of the app(boot manager lite)?

thx in advance

[HTC EVO 3D] -BA-:
I made a hash of rooting my phone after a number of posts said that backing up shouldn't be necessary (silly me). Once I had done the PG image flash I ended up with a version of Android that was missing all my games and the apps that I had previously installed. Data was still on the SD card but no sign of apks for the games. Not sure what other stuff might have been missing from 'out of the box' as it were but definitely Sims, NFS Shift and Spiderman 3D.

Before moving forward to try putting Leedroid on, I am considering trying to put one of the stock EU roms back over the top in the hope that it will give me access to the games, etc again so that I can do a backup and then try the whole rooting process all over again.

Could someone give me any idea of whether my games are gone forever or if I can salvage them somehow?
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
Your games and apps are gone. Before you flash any roms you really need to do a full wipe anyway so you're starting on a clean slate. A stock rom will have Spiderman in it though

We're comin from a pure power source.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Your game data (savegames) is likely gone for good. The game file might still be in your sd card. When I installed warm 2.3 I noticed a folder on my sd that has all those Sprint apps. I think some other roms might make a folder like that too. Just find the folder with a file explorer and install the app you want.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Short answer, if the apps were stored on the /data partition and the RUU erased the /data partition, they are probably gone forever.

Longer answer: To give a little technical background, there are specific partitions on most Android devices. The "data" partition is where many 3rd party apps are installed to, along with their settings and the Android OS settings.

A stock RUU will always erase the /data partition because as stock, the device comes with a blank data partition.

Some apps allow themselves to be installed to the sdcard. As such, these won't be erased when an RUU wipes the data partition. Some apps store their settings on the sdcard. These also won't be erased by an RUU.

Hope that helps fill in some of the gaps!
[HTC EVO 3D] NixZero:
anything you bought from android market is linked to your google account not the phone so you can restore it after a wipe, after changing phone or even install them on multiple phones if they are registered to the same account.

just log on market.android.com, go to your library and force a reinstall for every piece of software you are missing.

things bought on other markets depend on the specific market policy, check with them.

as for those three games they comes with htc stock roms, I got them with an OTA update IIRCW so the only way to get them its if the rom compiler has included them (which I dont know if its legal, but lets not go there) or with a stock rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] -BA-:
Really appreciate the replies guys. I have got my hands on the apks via a rom that was linked on the forums. I had hardly played them so losing save games isn't worry at all for me. Sadly I am not sure what else it might have wiped, I know I lost texts but I did have a backup .xml of those so only lost a few days worth.

The market is definitely confused because when I log onto android.market.com it shows all the ones I have downloaded but if I go into the market app on the phone it only shows the ones I have downloaded since the b0rked root.

No great loss though I think I am almost ready to shove a stock rom on and then restore the games later. Trying to decide between Leedroid and mikrunny's.

You may use Setcpu or similar app to restrict the CPU from overheating. Setcpu is free for XDA members.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
download betterbatterystats and see if you have app wakelocks. You could show us your battery usage history. are you running a stock build with a rooted stock kernel? more info = better help ;). I'd recommend Voltage Control over Setcpu too. It's lighter and should you undervolt it too much, rather than having to flash a reboot package, it delays your undervolt settings for 20 seconds at boot so you can cancel them.

When changing wallpaper, one of the options on the menu is a useless called Wallpaper Gallery that has only two wallpapers inside! They cant be deleted nor can other wallpapers be added..

I tried endlessly to find the location of this file to remove it but cant and its so annoying that menu being there all the time. Does anyone know the location of the file regarding the item or simply how to remove it?

Thank you very much for any insight on this:):):)
[Galaxy Tab General] nelsonoski1972:
Actually there r 5 wallpapers.Swype them right or left.

They r integrated in some framework apk which is part of ur ROM.

U cannot remove them(unless u r a pro) and u cannot add also.

BTW those wallpapers give ur tab a perfect fit having required resolution.U have to live with it.;);););)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Greamlive:
Hi,

When I received the Prime I was so happy to finally have it that in my haste I forgot to do the customary 8 hours first charge. My battery life is very poor and I was wondering if there is a way I can remedy the situation so that it become better battery life.

Thanks in advance

I dont have the dock, I live in Canada and I have the WW version of prime and I am at .11, didn't receive de .14 OTA update yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] killawatts:
Haha same thing happened to me. Not sure there is much we can do other than run it through some deep cycles. (
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Greamlive:
Deep Cycle question

How many deep cycle would you do to try making up for the first 8 hour charge ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lil-devil:
you can try draining the battery then use CWM and wipe the battery status then leave it in the charger for 10ish hours~
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erikk:
Umm, Li-ion batteries don't require a long initial charge. That's a holdover from NiCad days. And fully draining the battery for a "deep cycle" is worse for it than almost anything else you can do with it.

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diversion:
Actually, its better to just drain it immediately when you take it out of the box. Mine came out of the box with something like 28% and I killed it by setting the screen to max brightness and never sleep and played a netflix movie.. Surprised to say 28% lasted a long time for the device..

Anyways, after it's dead continue to power it up for about an hour.. get it really low. Then charge it overnight 8 hours.. then you'll have a pretty nice cycled battery.

But what do I know..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:

I would use odin to flash a new kernel such as gunslinger by rogue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graphic1982:
i gotta agree with going the ODIN route. While i think flashing a new kernel in CWM would work fine, ODIN seems to be a little safer.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1wayjonny:
Decompiled the APK using Brut.alll APK tool and just thought I would share for anyone wants to shift through the codes and commands.

They basically flag the system and kick into recovery to start the unlock process but have a look yourself.

Brut.alll APK Tool: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/

Not sure if this will be useful for the original Transformer as Asus stated that this works with ICS only, being the original transformer does not have ICS the bootloader may not be able to handle the steps should someone figure it out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
For anyone who would prefer to look at the code as java, here is a .jar created from the .dex with .class files. This would be in place of the .smali files.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
Is it worth waiting for something to come of this? Like could this be reverse engineered to exclude the communication to asus about your serials?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jemael972:
What is different with this app and the asus app ???
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ScottIsMyName:
Nothing is different, it's just the apk reverse engineered so it is "viewable" (read modifiable) by our devs. Hopefully the devs can come up with something to unlock the bootloader and prevent your warranty from being voided (or come up with a way to relock the bootloader should warranty issues come up).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawkysoft:
thanks, but no need to post this... people who needed this allready done that...

also this should not be under development.

also you misunderstood what it does... but keep reading im sure you will find out what it does exactly some day

there is a big process before it even does anything to your phone except of reading and transferring info/data
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1wayjonny:
Perfect thanks saved me an extra step, I was going to do this anyhow.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1wayjonny:
Sorry about the wrong section and if anyone needs this moved please do so. I understand the process is more then just the flag but I haven't been able to read through all of the code yet (damn work) but it is good practice.

But if you have any great information to share from your end please do so, it always great to spread knowledge (even is some of the info is repeatable info more advanced users) because it help inspire other great minds.

But i understand where your coming from as well. Cheers!

**Update**

It think I see the area you are talking about now, looks like your tablet goes through a registration process with Asus before the flag is kicked on. Still looking if they hand off a code but they probably flag your device in their system as unlocked for warranty reasons as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Noxious Ninja:
I think the real magic comes in where the argument to writeUnlockFlag is obtained. That class looks pretty simple.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
your both wrong.. the real magic will come when someone can make a method or version that does not talk to Asus and giveaway who you are and that you unlocked :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Predseda3D:
^^^ Yes, but let me expand a bit on unlock or lock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Noxious Ninja:
NotifyDMServer seems to be the important part. I think it's getting an unlock key (secretCpuId) back from Asus, so it may not be possible to hack out the phoning home. I haven't looked too closely at that class, though. We need to see if this is actually from Asus, derived from data sent back from Asus, same for all users, etc.

Does the app support relocking? I haven't actually tried it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1wayjonny:
Yea after I got a few minutes from work, I thought about what Hawkysoft said earlier and its clear as day this phones home to get the unlock code and I am sure your blacklisted from warranty support at the same time.

Are you saying this phones home details where locked or unlocked? If so do you know what it shares?

Have not seen anything yet about the re-locking but agreed on the the lock key
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ScottIsMyName:
I must be missing something here, so someone correct me where I went wrong...

First off, I do see it phoning home, however, I don't see us ever using anything that is returned from that call to write the recovery partition.

1) The recovery image is written in writeRecoveryCmd (in UnLockFlagAndReboot). This procedure takes in one argument.

2) The writeRecoveryCmd is called from writeUnlockFlag (same class) which just passes in what it receives.

3) This writeUnlockFlag procedure is called from the writeUnlockFlag in the UnLockActivity which passes in this.mNotifyDMServer.getSecretCpuID()

4) the getSecretCpuID() method inside NotifyDMServer returns the local class variable mSecretCpuId.

5) I only ever see mSecretCpuId being initialized to 0.

Now someone find where this is being set to something other than 0. If it doesn't, and my logic is correct, we would all be able to simply use a program that passes in 0 to the writeRecoveryCmd procedure inside UnLockFlagAndReboot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xsteven77x:
Ok for the layman does that man their is hope of POSSIBLY making a tool that would not phone home and void us?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Noxious Ninja:
Look at NotifyDMServer$CredCpuIdReceiver.smali. onReceive seems to be a callback invoked via a C2DM message. I.e., the app phones home, then waits for a push notification with the unlock key.

Of course I would prefer to be proven wrong. :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xsteven77x:
Dam.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ScottIsMyName:
Right, I see that...but...starting from the write recovery process and working backwards, it doesn't appear that the variable gets set anywhere. It wouldn't be that difficult to at least modify the app to log additional info add it is ruining to verify if it is using a call back key or not

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mistar Muffin:
This is the same conclusion I came to when I took a look. I followed the same trace mentioned by the previous poster but also ended up with the C2DM message. It looks like ASUS is computing the secret cpu ID on their end.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zektor:
It makes sense. This is how HTC does it as well. The calculation/decryption is being done on their side after receipt of your serial number. Might not be a way to unlock unless using their method....and voiding warranty :eek:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flak0:
FYI HTC Bootloader Unlock Method was used and released before official HTC unlocker came out. Hence how EVO was unlocked, we need to use the same method
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Noxious Ninja:
Yep. Sadly, I don't have time to work on that this week. Probably someone else will do it in the next day or two, but if they don't, I'll work on it next week.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xsteven77x:
Not sure about HTC EVO in particular, but their is a HUGE difference between a LOCKED bootloader, an ENCRYPTED bootloader, and one that has BOTH. Most ENCRYPTED bootloaders are impossible to be broken by the dev community. The ones where you see that XDA has unlocked are locked bootloaders.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smw6180:
Evo 3D is locked and encrypted. There was an exploit in early versions of hboot (1.3/1.4) that allowed for it to be bypassed, then rewritten (this is how Revolutionary worked) that was fixed in 1.5. Development has largely stopped on exploiting the bootloader now that HTC has the unlock tool for 1.5, but it's still s-on...just allows access to /boot and /system to make permanent changes now.

I doubt that without an exploit any encrypted bootloader can be hacked. It would take something like 10 years for massive computer networks to try all possible combinations of alphanumeric characters to break into it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrMalone:
With an exploit yes. But a properly encrypted one, no.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BackfireNL:
Well if they decrypt it on their servers why not do a man in the middle attack? Just intercept the packages... if you do this for more than 5 devices i'm sure a keygen or something can be made!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Noxious Ninja:
It's a possibility, but it would take a major screwup on Asus's part for it to be that simple.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ddarvish:
**** like this really angers me.. especially with a device with KNOWN hardware issues, it is annoying to not be able to unlock it, because then you will get denied getting your Wifi issues fixed. Its stupid. Companies should CLEARLY distinguish hardware vs. software warranty issues, and shoulld allow you to relock and get back to a factory state for service to be done on the tablet. man i hope we find a way around this phone home system in the next 60 days because if not im moving on to another tablet...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xsteven77x:
While i agree with you, the days of buying unlocked bootloader mobile devices are over. Best to just get used to it and not getting so upset about it. What are you gonna do in sixty days, buy a different brand tablet, and what are you gonna do with it's locked bootloader?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] usafle:
I have nothing to contribute here really other then to say I am proud to be in the company of such freaking genius such as yourselves.

Just when I think I was starting to get a grasp on some things you guys come along and blow me away once more.

This is NOT a sarcastic post...!!! 100% Honest and Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lilstevie:
the last page is kind of funny. This does not magically decrypt the bootloader, the bootloader is still very much encrypted in flash, and thats fine, encrypted doesn't really do anything except stop you from patching and replacing it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ryun33:
Has anyone tried to inspect/sniff the data using wireshark/tcpdump?

Is it using a secure connection ? If not what is getting sent to and from their servers?

Could we create a 'dummy server' to emulate their servers and craft our response?

would love to get a .pcap file if anyone can provide one.

FYI, You can find wireshark on the market.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skola28:
Why not just hardcode a known serial into the unlock tool so the same serial keeps getting flagged in ASUS's system? That way you wouldn't have to worry about your particular serial getting flagged. Maybe they only allow one 'unlocking' per serial?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
Because its not the device serial ... Its the cpu serial
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Noxious Ninja:
Depends on whether the unlock code is specific to a given serial number. If the hardware checks that the code matches, this wouldn't work. We'll have to see what sort of data the app is using.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] di11igaf:
I haven't looked at the app at all, but reading that it takes the CPU serial #, I wonder if its just pulling that info from /proc/cpuinfo?

If you have root, somehow temporarily change the id before the app runs. A script could change it at every boot, but wed only need to change it once before the apk runs.

Unless it pulls this Info from somewhere else, which it very may well.

I know /proc/cpuinfo is getting that serial # from somewhere else, but that doesn't mean we couldn't temporarily change it before the reboot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agentdr8:
It's pulling two values for hardware identity: serial from /proc/cpuinfo and cardhu_chipid from /sys/devices/platform/cardhu_misc/cardhu_chipid

i got a question: what happens to those of us who buy open box tablets, or what if someone returns a tablet to your store and you buy it not knowing if its been unlocked before or not... now you have a tablet that YOU did not unlock that Asus will not warrenty.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smw6180:
Theoretically the store you take it to should be returning it to Asus. You're right though, that's going to happen....someone will undoubtedly decide they want to return their TFP after they unlocked it, a store will put it out for resale as a 'scratch and dent' and someone will get stuck with it that way.

All I can say is don't buy open box items. I never do because I never know what I'm going to get. I'd rather spend the extra 50.00 for new in box than chance inheriting someone else's headache.
