Hm, I turned on USB Debugging in the settings, but it's not starting up when I plug in a USB cable, and adb can't find the device. ???
[Motorola Droid 4] reigndropz:
While your phone is plugged in, see what drivers are in device manager and remove them. Then restart your phone while its still connected through USB. See if that reinstalls all the necessary drivers and try again.
[Motorola Droid 4] highlandsun:
This is Linux, so no device manager. I think I needed to add the Motorola vendorID to my udev rules first, I got it working eventually. Rooted, great. Now to go and fix the character maps so I can fully use Connectbot.
[Motorola Droid 4] reigndropz:
Ah ok.....how are you with deodexing? I have been trying to deodex the SystemUI but I am not having any success. I add the jars but it keeps going and going and doesnt seem to end. Soon as I get the SystemUI deodexed, I'll throw a battery percent icon here....
[Motorola Droid 4] highlandsun:
Hm, haven't done anything with theming tweaks. Dunno, sorry.

You need adb to be enabled at boot time, so you can adb logcat during the startup and see what failed.

By the way, the Linux archive is not immediately usable, you need to chmod +x everything under the files/ subdirectory to make them executable first.
[Motorola Droid 4] skylarmb:
Hey thanks for pointing that out! I didnt notice because they were already executable on my computer. I added

chmod +x ./files -R

to the script on startup so no one should have to manually do it anymore, sorry about that :D
[Motorola Droid 4] skylarmb:
Make sure you have done all of the steps below

Prework

1. Plug in phone to computer.

2. Turn on USB Debugging. Menu -> Settings -> Application -> Development -> USB Debugging

3. Confirm latest Moto driver is installed. Go to Device Manager on Windows while the D4 is plugged into it and confirm you see ADB Interface listed with Mot Composite ADB Interface listed in the group. If you see that, skip #4 & #5. There are other ways to go about this, but this is the simplest and surefire way to confirm the driver is there and compatible.

4. Go get Moto driver and install it: USB and PC Charging Drivers - Motorola Mobility, Inc. USA It is an exe file that must be run and your computer has to restart when completed.

5. Go back into your Device Manager after reboot with the phone plugged in and confirm ADB Interface is there and no error exists.

Done.
[Motorola Droid 4] SupperDroid:
I can't get this to root, it appeared to have rooted once since Superuser was installed but TBU said not root access. Now I get message " error more than one device and emulator" when I try to root again or unroot. any idea?
[Motorola Droid 4] Hammerfest:
contemplating getting this through a client, any word on fastboot and unlocked updates?

or is the droid 4 destined to be like all other moto phones and lack a soul... :D

I really wanted the Photon, but dev on it was strangled to death!
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
The phone itself is great. Good build quality, fantastic keyboard, fast, etc. I have not heard any news on fastboot files yet. I assume it's just a matter of time but who really knows for sure. Unlock updates? As in unlock the bootloader? I don't ever expect to see that happen, personally.

Despite that, development seems to be coming along nicely with very usable AOSP CM9, AOKP, and Gummy ROMs. The relative ease with which Razr ROMs can be ported to the D4 (due to almost identical internal components) should help on that front as well as Razr development is seems very strong.
[Motorola Droid 4] mancowmilitia:
Does this Utility still work after the latest update?

I had previously rooted via this utility and had frozen a bit of bloatware w/ TB. I have since unfrozen the bloatware and unrooted. As soon as the install message pops up again I plan to run the update, but was wondering if I will be able to re-root the same way once I do that.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
I've heard people having mixed results trying to re-root using the utility. Some seem to have no problem but others said they had to run the exploit directly. Not sure why.

I just used the Voodoo OTA Root Keeper app to hide root while the update was being applied and then restored root.
[Motorola Droid 4] mancowmilitia:
I installed the upgrade with no issues. I was able to re-root without complication as well. The only message I received was that the Superuser.apk installation "failed" because it was already there. Others have noted that unrooting doesn't delete the file. But, its presence did not stop my upgrade.

This time I installed Voodoo and will go that route for the next OTA.

[Motorola Droid 4] dlucio:
is this the Droid4RestoreUtility from Hashcode? Or where is it?
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
I don't think hashcode himself made a D4 Utility. I recommend using the one in the "Droid 4 Utility Updated" thread.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sofia-captivate:
I decided to try something new and went with the Brando Ultra Clear. The protector retails for $13.00 and.There is also Anti-Glare one also but the one I chose was Ultra Clear which maximizes clarity.

The installation is straight forward and requires no liquid to apply. Simply peel off the front film, peel off the back film, and apply.The fitting is close to the edges of the screen as possible there is cutout for earpiece grill but not for ffc. Due to the screen protectors high clarity it does attract fingerprints but can be easily be rubbed off. I highly recommend Brando Ultra Clear as the price is affordable, the quality is great, and the fit is amazing. when i watch a video on my phone my expression was HOLY S**T i didnt know my phone screen was this good and how beautiful and crisp the picture was. and i have used martin fields this 1 compares really good and for much less $

Inside the package it comes with :

1 Screen Protector

They shoudve at least include a cloth in the package.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] serialtoon:
I might just jump the gun on this one. I have this damn invisible shield on and it reduces the quality of the screen. Thanks for the heads up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sofia-captivate:
Your welcome. Ya invisible shield reduces alot I've used it. It was my 1st screen protector. Brando compare to it is night and day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cingkrab:
How does it compare to the basalguardz and arm station protectors?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sofia-captivate:
Very good. Basalguardz have awesome fitting but since I tried this screen protector I like it over arm station they send me a sample better than clarivue I used which was garbage peeled off in week. I highly recommend this screen protector cause the clarity is awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cingkrab:
Your Clarivue peeled off? I've had mine on for more than a month and no signs of lifting anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredfox_uk:
Still waiting for mine to arrive, I've always used Brando, they're very good. Some of the cheap (and expensive) crap that my wife has bought for her phone really has made the Brando look good. I'm sure there are better out there but it's not too expensive, and no water !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaamesalbert:
When you install this screen guard, you will not feel a thing sort of invisible. Though at the back of your mind, you know that it offers protection on the display. It is also very easy to install as it kind of clasps the screen when you apply it. Some experienced bubbles on the edges but this product comes with a mini card that lets you push the bubbles away.
[Kindle Fire General] tablelegs:
Do any of these ROMs allow skype or heytell use, I realize there is no internal mic, but external mics see some limited use with the stock rom.

Thanks for the info.
[Kindle Fire General] Sblood86:
Honestly I can't think of many reason why any of them wouldn't support it. The functionality is present on the device and in the roms (at least in the cm7 and cm9, I know nothing about miui but I can see little point in removing it). The real question is; 'does it work'? to that end you will probably to best testing. I don't have a headset mic to test with anymore for example or a skype account for that matter. Try the CM7 builds I have up if you like, they are here. If you find it doesn't work drop me a post on that thread I'll research it.
[Kindle Fire General] tablelegs:
Thanks for the update. I was running CM7 then switched back to the remixed stock ROM. I will reinstall cm7 now and report back.
[Kindle Fire General] tablelegs:
Heytell works perfectly, skype ends the call as soon as it is placed making me think that skype itself does not like the kindle fire.

Does anyone know if the Verizon tether has been hacked? Our know of an app that Verizon won't be able to track the data being tethered?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Roland_D:
Yes sir...

You need

root access

SQLite Editor (2.99 on market)

a brain (as usual)

So you open SQLite Editor, wait for the databases to load then you tap on

SETTINGS STORAGE (com.motorola.android.providers.settings) > Settings.db > Settings

Then you scroll to line 150 - entitlement_check... it should be set on 1 by default... tap and hold the 'value' field then tap on edit field and change from 1 to 0...

REBOOT... BOOM.. done. ;)

FYI, ICS 4.0.3 update kills FoxFi, will not work (at least until the dev updates the app). None of the tethering methods work with ICS on Verizon Razr/Razr Maxx, except the SQL edit. That does work.

i couldnt figure this out because i dont have a "settings" option after i clicked settings.db within the settings storage...

the list includes: android_metadata,bluetooth_devices,bookmarks,global,secure,sqlite_sequence, and system...no settings

Open SQlite

Edit the value to 0(zero)

I originally found it on the DroidRazrROOT site.

Line 66 on mine reads "back_ground_data_backup_by_datamanager". I'm guessing that's not the right key? Found it. Entitlement_check was line 79 on my phone.

no luck

i went through with sqlite and installed i went to the storage settings like all the videos tell me to but i do not have a settings option i have android meta

none of these options lead to entitlement check

i have another storage settings option the hammer it gives me this screenshot

Flash Any Rom On The LG Phoenix P505

This is a tutorial on how to flash any new baseband rom with the old baseband still on your device.

First off let me start of by saying that I did NOT make this kernel or baseband fix, first the kernel is a stock kernel and I'm just sharing a method I found out a few days ago.

And I know this section is for the LG Optimus One P500, but there no P505 section and all P500 roms work for P505 so lets continue.

All this is a stock P505 Kernel with, what I believe to be, aspee's baseband fix in a flash-able zip file.

With this zip you can flash and run any P500 rom of your choose on the P505, even the new ICS Alphas and Betas out there.

Unlike Joban's new .35 kernel, this Stock kernel allows you to use WiFi, and Fixes the graphic issue when flashing a P500 rom on a P505.

The baseband fix part will allow your SIM card to be recognized and you will be able to get a reception and data.

Instructions

1) Please If you haven't already MAKE A BACK UP! Be safe then sorry :)

2) Wipe data, cache, dlvik cache and battery stats

3) Flash rom of choice (New BB Rom)

2) Flash StockP505Kernel_OldBBFix.zip

3) Reboot and Good to Go :)

Orignal Work Here...

Tested With;

~ On 2 Different Phoenix's

~Oxygen 2.3.2

~CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC0 Nightlies

~SlimGen 1.5.1

~NightlyFourE 4.3.1 + 4.3.2

~lupohirp's CM9 ICS 4.0.3 Beta3 + Beta4testing

~MIUI 4.0 Port Alpha

If you have any problems, questions or concerns, please leave a comment :D

Thanks for viewing my theard! Hope I helped you!

And Thanks to aspee! If this is your Baseband fix!

I Can't Believe I just forgot About give credits to the person who out these to together

I'm Starting a Thread basically for Any member who has a Simple little Trick they they might want to share with Everyone...

** ** ** ** ** **

For Example...

1.) I thought I'd share a Simple way to Send a Zip file through the Gmail.apk where it could be Downloaded.

Cause unless I'm wrong when a Zip file is Received through Gmail it Can't be Downloaded... Right?

Well either way... basically all I do is Change the .zip to .apk then Send it to whoever! Now Gmail will let them Download it thinking its a App.

From there it should say Parse Error or something like that? But now all you have to do is use a File Manager to Switch the .apk back to

.zip from there you can Extract the zip!

** ** ** ** ** **

2.) Another little Trick some of you may or may not know about is...

When using a Sense Rom (Other Roms May Work Also?) There's a Quick Lookup Option for Words/Phrases that you choose to Highlight.

For instance if your on the Web and come across a word or whatever... that you want to Lookup, Just Long press the word then Drag the Arrows to Highlight the Word.

Then the Same way you would Copy & Paste, You Simply just Select the option Quick Lookup and it "Should" Direct you straight to a Search of your Highlighted Word!
