[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moody:
I'll send this as a PM as well, but people might learn from this. I am not talking about any specific mount points for LG phones, I just pointed out that there are some roms which use sed to check the filename of its update.zip and do tasks according to that, you need to have one line in your updater script to run the script which detects what to do. That way a user of a Galaxy Nexus would rename it to update-maguro.zip and it would know to use mount points for the maguro, while if the exact same update.zip was to be named update-p990.zip, it would know to use the mount points for the LG optimus 2x. This way you could easily keep the zip up to date for any device, because they all use the same update.zip

About the recovery, you would need to build it for every phone once, but you could make one change to the recovery source and easily compile the recovery for all phones which are capable of running CWM. I believe this method to be more user friendly, as a recovery image has support for actually choosing what you want to do, instead of having to rename the file. A recovery image also has a better way of communicating with the user. Where a update.zip can only say "Hey, I had an error and I'm quitting now, I won't give you any details what the problem was because that's just how update.zips roll", a recovery image would be able to give more advanced outputs, like "An error occurred when trying to mount /data." And then give you the option to either try again, manually fix it by using a computer with adb, or quitting.

But that's just my personal opinion. The recovery would be way harder to make, but I was the original porter of CM6, CM7 and HTC Sense to the xperia mini pro and mini back in the days. I also made a custom recovery and roms for the HTC desire Z, maintain a CWM port for the HTC Chacha which I don't even own and have used the LG optimus 2x before. (currently a maguro owner) but I'm trying to say that I've been experimenting a lot with different phones and know what the possibilities of Android are. you could even make a live Android build, tailored for recovering your phone, which is ran by an update.zip! How cool is that? That would be VERY device specific though..

let me know what you think is the best way to do this. I was thinking of making a mobile time machine app for some time so it's good I saw this thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhoppi:
Hello @all,

much times, when i active the mobile by pressing the power button or home button, it shows the lockscreen, but when I press the button to unlock (e.g. ics) it wont recognize my finger. I can press on the whole screen. It seems like the screen does not detect my finger. when i switch of and then switch on the phone again ( just screen of / on ) it may work, but sometimes i have to repeat this procedure. Im getting quite angry with my SGS as I can not unlock it how i want.

Anybody ideas. This problem also appeared with miui...

kind regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galateanu.razvan:
If youre using an older version of ics builds it was a common problem but upgrading to latest it will disapear. If youre using other rom, i don't know but on those based on GB i never encounter that problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masiade:
When you are on ICS try flashing another kernel (like derTeufel or semaphore). This solved the problem for me.
[LG Optimus 3D] showlyshah:
So i am here with a new idea. A rescue.zip which can be used to rescue any android device which have a recovery like the famous cwm.

So here is it..

Some times we people screw up our android os like hell, and to reboot the device we usualy do a recovery flash of a new os, flash back our nandroid backup ( both on worst conditions) or even do permission fix, clean cache or dalvic cache( those in 'not that worse' conditions) . So thats are all the options we got. Rit?

Although flashing recovery backups, new roms can fix all, it will also eatup our apps, current setups, contacts, msgs, etc( in case we dont have backups) and will probably screw us. All we can do is say " WTF..WTF..WTF.."

SO here is my idea,

Find out the causes of what causes a reboot, non-boot, hang,fc etc.

And keep a zip that can be flashed through recovery, that has a solution for our problem. They may be including..

1) fix permission of system, data, and user data.

2) zipalign the apps

3) fix the default clock speed of processor

4) defragment memory

5) flash a new copy of su and busy box

6)wipe data or system or ext or cache or dalvic cache

7) flash a new copy of framework.res, system-ui.apk, settings.apk with default permissions( those files are kept in separate "custom" folder on the zip, so that end user can put their own files to that "custom" folder for flashing., the reason behind it is known to all, yap. Not all devices have them in common, every device have its own files)

These are all i got for now, pls post ur ideas and knowledge for any possible cure about any problem u faced/ cured. So that we can make it an ultimate rescue.zip that have a cure for 99% problems android os have. The rest 1% will go with a clean flash.( well we cant avoid that if we did something that bad).

So my plan is to use aroma installer( now on hard learning to find how it works). Throw in some scripts, files etc. Into the zip.

And since its not a device specific .zip file, i want to know how and why any problems are caused in any device( there are many common problems, but that is not what i ask for. I ask for device/os specific problems, and not for a problem that we can cure after booting, but for a problem that can make the device un-bootable) . So u people may help me to find those problems and cures for it. For my knowledge i have experience with wildfire and hd2.

Well i will keep this thread for a week or two, so that u can post ur knowledge, and info. after that i will release the file for u.

To the admin. Of the forum, pls keep this thread as announcement so that all can take a look.

HYPERDROID EXTREEM EDITION-THE NEW BENCHMARK ROM FOR HD2.
[LG Optimus 3D] projectsome:
I generally do a backup before doing any modding and just reflash from the start and do a restore.
[LG Optimus 3D] defcomg:
yup most of the time restoring just boot.img fixes a bootloop
[LG Optimus 3D] pandaball:
Usually you can just reflash the rom .zip without wiping user data and your data will remain intact and your phone will continue functioning normally if the problem is due to corrupted system files or kernel.

I Root phones and install custom ROMs on the side and doing so, I have to find a different method to root and flash CWM for each and every phone. When I had my myTouch 4g, I just flashed CWM with ROM manager and had no issues, but with my G2x, and a customers Sensation, I've had to flash CWM manually and then do it through ROM manager as well if I wanted to use it. Is ROM manager always safe to use to flash CWM recovery? Is it a try it, if it fails, do it manually type thing? How do I know?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nebrossuser:
Hey Guys, I hope you are having a good day. Mine is not a good one.

I wanted my experia st15i phone to be back on stock again so I can root it. I am running a .62 firmware. I have read on doomlords thread that .62 firmware cannot be rooted, so I decided to flash it back to the stock phone .368.

I followed all the step on the flashing on the phone.

-downloaded the flashtool for experia latest version. Followed the steps

- installed the necessary drivers -adb, flashtool drivers.

- then I followed the steps to flash the phone

This error came up (see Attachment) after that I haven't been able to turn on my phone since then. Even If I tried again, still comes up the same error.

BIG PROBLEM! My phone now cannot be turned on, it keeps getting back to flash mode whenever I connect it to the computer.

Please help!:(:(:(:(

I am sorry but I only follow steps throughtout the flashing method, I don't know if I had to unlock my bootloader before I flash it, or root it.

Please help, I am currently researching now If I can turn back my phone again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] akshay13071990:
flash to stock rom.. .42 firmware is good if you want to keep root..i saw the image from that are you flashing any kernel..?beacause you are in fastboot mode..but to flash ftf file you have to be in flashmode
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nebrossuser:
Error with the flashtool, phone stop working

No, I am not flashing any kernels. I was in flash mode. I was never in fastboot mode.

Ok thanks for the heads up, I'll use .42 instead.

But still currently having this problem. I can't do anything because I can't turn on the phone. If I turn it on, the logo doesn't come up and the blinking light is on GREEN, so that means I am still in flashmode (even without the connection to the computer). If I connect the phone when the flashtool is there, its says on the log that it's on flashmode.

The Big Problem is, How can I turn it on back to normal mode. releasing the flash mode. If that really is the problem, when the error came up.

Second Question. Do you have to unlock the bootloader to perform the root or flashtool. I already have installed the adb drivers.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] akshay13071990:
first there is no need of unlock bootloader to flash ftf file..just download ftf file then put in firmware folder..then open flashtool... click on flash and then click on flashmod then just select your ftf file and press ok..switch off your mobile..then press volume down button and coonect your mobile to pc using usb cable..flashtool will flash that firmware...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nebrossuser:
Thanks...

But, I have already followed all those steps you said. then that error comes up (refer to the thumbnail above). After that I haven't been able to turn on the phone.

When I try to turn on the phone, the logo screen won't show and the light that blinks above the phone is green. Meaning its kinda stuck on flashmode.

I am so scared right now, if I can't fix it.

I've been messing with PSXperia for about a week now, and I've gotten GT2 and FFVIII working. GT2 runs flawless (minus the touchpads for some reason?)

My problem is with FFVIII. when I'm in the world map there are graphic glitches, and of course I have the no sound for FMV's problem. I was wondering if anyone has gotten these things to work, or if there is anyone working on a fix?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] WayneT37:
Not necessarily a fix for your problem While PSXepria is an awesome way to play certain Psone games I find that FPse is a better emulator, I have FFVII VIII and IX running 110% using FPse with little or no tweaking required . I also have numerous other PSone titles running with no issues. Maybe this is a better option going forward
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shawn.hayden:
Thanks, I've read a lot on it, and can't find a good write up on how to get it all working properly. I'll do some more reading!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
There is really not much to set up with FPse, rip your cd's to .iso format, get a bios, play :)

I used the emulators for PSX and the best of all without a doubt is FPse, even in FFVIII
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] SirRudolph:
Turn on software rendering in the playstation pocket app;

1. After launching the game at least once, navigate to

SDCard/Android/Data/com.sonyblahblah.gameid/ucc/

2. Inside ucc there will be a random string name folder, open it and you should find Metadata.xml and preferences.xml, Open preferences.xml and look for;

<boolean name="SW-render" value="false" />

and change it to say

<boolean name="SW-render" value="true" />

Then try launching the game, should look a little less pretty, but should function better.

I am using the CoreDroid ROM and one of the marketing features that attracted me to this ROM was the custom background on the weather lockscreen. I HATE the default HTC wallpaper. Ick.

Does anyone know how to change this? I see instructions on how to do this for Sense 3.0. What about 3.5? There are similar questions in the Desire and Sensation forums. But no one has answered it there.

So, I'll give this a whirl in the HD2 forum. See if we are still ahead of everyone else. :p

So a laptop was dropped off at my desk, one laptop of many that use Verizon to get remote internet access. They were complaining of the internet speeds of their laptop. That's when I started to play with the laptop and noticed that is using the phone modem in the laptop to dial up to Verizon and get online. The company is paying $60 a month for remote dial up?

The number it dials is #777 and it gets pings in the 2000-timed out range. Anyone ever seen this before? I've never worked with anything Verizon. Thank you.

I have been trying some ICS SD Roms.

I have a dual boot application which gives the option to go into Android or windows 6.5.

This doesn't work with ics as the ics rom files are placed in ics folder and i presume the dual boot application is looking for Android.

Is there a similar app so that you can dual boot from ics and windows 6.5.

Have looked but couldn't find

thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HypoTurtle:
What program are you using?

Have you tried putting them ion a folder called android and changing "rel_path= ics" to "rel_path=android"?

Or you could always use MAGLDR.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Yep, do what the previous guy said. In startup.txt in the 'ICS' folder, there is a line saying rel_path= ics. Change this to rel_path= Android, then rename the folder with your build in it to 'Android' and it should run fine. The app should also have an option to change the boot location if I'm not mistaken (although it's been ages since I used WinMo/Android SD)
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
Well I just ordered the Rezound after moving from Sprint. Just wanted to say Hi some forums appreciated that. Not sure if I will do a ROM for this device but who am I kidding? Anyway just wanted to stop in an say Hi. Got the device coming FEDEX from Verizon for $99 bucks. I was waiting for the One but since HTC is taking it over to AT&Ts ****ty network I'm going to go to this. Pretty excited about it the phone really has everything I want. Anything I need to know? From what I have read you guys are using HTC Unlock and flashing kernels with fastboot? Is that about right? Thanks.

Cool story BRO..

(got that out of the way)
[HTC Rezound] rileyd5:
Hey Zone. Great to see you on the Rezound forum :) Unlocking and rooting is fairly easy but I was a bit gun shy at first. Tried to read up a bunch first if that make sense. lol. I really don't mess around too much with custom kernels because I feel the stability and speed is already good enough with custom roms. But I'm sure custom kernels bring this device to another level. Anyway, just wanted to say hi.

Also Cleanflash is a great way to flash boot.img. Scott did a great job with it.

Probably for the first day I wont do anything. Then I will get board and start playing with stuff. The bloatware will drive me crazy..

Yep, there is a plenty of that bloatware. lol. Are you still doing sense skins? I been trying some of sense 3.5 skins out there for the rezound and they are great!
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
Not really I have cut way back. Someone started doing a boat load of free ones which pushed me out of that market. Plus we still can't edit m10s (Sense 3.5) which is a big problem for me. When I go to make this ROM blue I wont be able to remove all the green. That drives me a little crazy.

Cool. Hope you enjoy it. Rezound has been rock solid for me.

Numbers sound a lot better than the 56k I got with Sprint. Phone has shipped so I should have it tomorrow.
[HTC Rezound] rileyd5:
lol. That's the truth. Wimax speeds were about the same for me here but the difference is LTE has more coverage in my town overall. Less dead spots for sure. Only thing that has surprised me since switching is there have been at least 4 LTE outages this year. It seems like when they go down, I can't even get 3g it goes right to 1x which is dreadful. But I'm sure they are going to iron this out.
[HTC Rezound] dottat:
Haha.. funny to see you switch over too. It's funny how that works. Amazing how long that EVO battery lasts when it's NOT attached to the NOT-now Network.

When you say you can edit m10 files you mean in sense 3.5 because as far as I know the images cannot be decompiled yet, unless I'm missing something.
