[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
The RUU is an .exe file... You just hook your phone up to computer via usb cable, download and double click [considering your cpu is running some version of windows]... No real tutorial needed for that.

Rob

The rom bootlooping is due to kernel challenges with some metro users [its odd; some experience it; some don't] You will be constrained to the stock kernel until someone figures that mystery out; The oc kernel is causing the bootloop on your device. You are more than welcome to try my rom on AndroidForums and speak with a user named Chicle. He has had/is having same challenges. I've been trying to assist but I have VM phone; so, its touch and go.

Regards,

Rob

I have rooted and modded a few devices.. but all of them where GSM phones... I dont understand why flashing a different rom messes anything up.. Care to explain?

I ask because my cousin just got this phone and asked me to look into it for him.

boot loop

Hey, I'm having the same bootlooping problem, it loaded fine but then when I ran the commands in the terminal emulator it wont reboot. I'm not sure what to do now, should I just try and load my old stock rom or can I do something else? and if the backup I made doesn't work what shoudl i do? I don't really know but i'm guessing this is because of the zipalign...

Actually when I did it all with a2sd gui it seems to work fine, but another question is how big does my ext3 partition have to be because my sd card is only 2GB and I'd like more space to play with. I guess I have a Fat32 partition and Ext3 partition and a Swap Partition.do I need all those?
[HTC Wildfire S] CptnSkippy:
I have followed all instructions on your post, am htcdev bootloader unlocked, rooted and got the rom from insink71 image in, but once I run the commands below and reboot - it sets off an endless reboot loop

Are the below a2sd commands required?

I'm attempting to make my wife's phone usable (the memory issues were driving her up the wall). She just wants to be able to download a few apps and see the pictures she took.

Hi all.

My note wears a SGP ultra crystal screen protector.

The protector is good and when the NOte screen is on the view is crisp and clear.

But now is plenty of my fingertips and I can't get rid of them. I just can move it from up to down or viceversa and all the **** remain there.

How do you clean up such a screen protector??

Thanks in advance.
[Dell Streak 7] toyotech:
Just got a used Dell Streak 7 last week and love it. Problem is I cant stand Froyo. So, my first ever attempt at rooting any device and installing custom rom worked. I managed, after some research and nailbiting to install honeystreak and find it really cool. Problem is, I installed an early release (didnt do enough research) and find some glitches with it. So, Id like to upgrade, but cant seem to get it to work. Cant get computer (2 of them) to recognize via USB and another method I found to load from SD car doesnt work either. It just pops up the Dell logo and says booting image kernel and stays there. Nothing else happens. Anybody have an idea what I could be doing wrong?? Any help is appreciated.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
HoneyStreak R8 still had some glitches even if you update all the way up to it. Yes the drivers are different so if you are going to stay in the Android world your best bet is to install the AndroidSDK with the GoogleUSB drivers supplement. It sounds like you have a driver issue.

Easiest way to get to R8 is to NVFlash R7, let it boot, shut it down and let it boot again. R7 will install Clockwork Mod, so download that and put it on an external SD and stick it in the Streak and then install R8 from CWM. Once again let it boot, shut it down and let it boot again.

You then need to download the Superuser7.zip file and place it on the external SD so you can root R8.
[Dell Streak 7] toyotech:
Ok, it was a driver issue. I had to remove driver and reinstall and it worked. Now, its up and running. Thank you. Love it, however, apps requiring SD card will not work. Is that one of the glitches with R8? Other than that, it seems to be working perfectly.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
what do you mean apps requiring SD?

[Dell Streak 7] toyotech:
such as google earth or a torrent loader that loads into external SD card storage automatically. I got 'SD card required' for google earth and 'SD read only' on Torrent downloader. Ive got it working now, at least temporarily by shutting down completely and restarting. Will let you know if the problem arises again. So far very pleased and love the info and advice from this forum.

Now off to dig into the Evo forum to see what I can do with my Evo 4G.........
[HTC Sensation] DesperadoX93:
Hey dear xda members ;)

i got a problem this morning.. like every evening, after a hard day with moderate handy usage i loaded the battery over night, but in the morning, my whole display was black, just in the left lower corner it was a bit lighty..

and it was kinda hot, not dangerous hot, as i noticed at my last handy, but quite hot.

i put off the battery and waited serveral minutes, and it goes on again. but my display looks awful. it's nearly black, on the highest brightness level it's still very dark .. and you see vertical stripes, i made a picture, but my camera shows it very brighter than it actually is ..

in the circle you see some spots..

does anybody ever handled this problem? i also made a screenshot and watched it on my pc, it looks normal, like ever. so i don't think it's a software thing.. also the phone works like a charm, expect that you see not much . should i send it back, and set it to stock?

could it come from a little overheating?

thank you for every answer.
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
did you leave the screen exposed to the sun for a long time? (on the nightstand maybe?)

[HTC Sensation] DesperadoX93:
i got a request.. i read the thread how to s-on, and de-root my device, but in some cases i don't trust my english and won't risk a brick so far..

does anybody know perhaps a video which shows step by step how to s-on, de-root a device so it is completly like it was in beginning so i can send it to HTC ?

yt don't show me really good examples..

thanks so far.

[General Questions and Answers] panaphobic:
I have a Samsung Transform Ultra (rooted, running stock Android 2.3.4). I have a factory bluetooth kit in my car. I also have an auxiliary port in my car as well so I like to listen to music on my phone while driving. The problem is that when I receive a call from anyone, the audio from the call automatically plays through the auxiliary line and not through the bluetooth kit. I have to unplug the auxiliary line from my phone before it works right. The bluetooth kit automatically mutes the radio so it won't play the audio from the call with the auxiliary cord plugged in. So I ended up buying a bluetooth audio receiver for my car that plugs into the auxiliary port. The receiver is a Logitech bluetooth audio receiver that when connected plays audio through the speakers quiet fine. But again, the phone audio still plays through the speakers. I checked the bluetooth setting for each device and this is what they have listed

Here is what my settings for my car kit are:

Here is what my setting for my bluetooth adapter are:

For purpose of comparison, my bluetooth headphones (Motorola HT820) setting are:

Here is a diagram of how my car audio is set up:

As you can see from the screen shots, I don't understand what the problem is and why the phone audio still doesn't play through the factory car bluetooth kit when it's connected via the auxiliary cable or the bluetooth receiver. My Bluetooth headphones work great when I listen to music through them and call audio works perfectly fine through them as well. Is there any way to disable the phone call audio from playing through through the Logitech receiver? Or is there a way to have my phone disconnect the Logitech receiver when a call is made/received and then reconnecting to it when the call has ended? I'm just getting really annoyed with how this works on my phone.

Try an app named SoundAbout. It will route media to "Wired Headphones"...which is your 3.5mm Aux input and route phone media to Bluetooth mono, which is your car's Bluetooth phone profile.

You probably have a wrong kernel for your ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schriek:
Hello,

Im using the TeamRogue's recovery (1.3.0) and I made a backup using this, before trying out a rom.

Now i wanted to go back to my backup, so i restored it, however it is stuck at the asus eee pad screen (boot screen).

I've seen more people with this problem and some say wiping the cache after the restore fixes it. Or when using the Super Wipe script, reboot after wipe and then restore.

Now after a lot of tries and wipes i finally got it booting fine.

However, me as stupid as I am, I tried another rom, so now I got the same problem, however only this time i can't get it to work.

Any help appreciated!

Kind regards,

ps. sorry for the grammar mistakes
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
What ROM were you on when you made a backup and what ROM did you try out?

If you went to an ICS base ROM and went back to a HC base ROM, you must get a HC kernel back, you can achieved this by flashing the HC ROM after your backup is done restoring.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schriek:
I was on ICS and i flashed a ICS rom.

I also know about the kernel thing, ive flashed to my 3.2 backup to with no problem.

It just hangs on boot, has to be with \boot partition
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Saw a few reports of this in the Team Rouge thread.

Same way to fix, nandroid restore and once it's done. immediate flash the ROM the backup is based upon. (No wipe if you want to save your data).

I had this happened to me going once going to an older ICS backup.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schriek:
So.. to make this clear, i made a backup of the stock ICS.

So, i have to restore my backup and then flash a stock ICS rom or will EOS or some kind work to?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
I'm looking for a replacement OEM battery for the G2x. I've been burned in the past by fake batteries that claimed to be OEM though, so does anyone have a recommended vendor?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZiZi_G2X:
I was in the same dilemma about a month ago. I bought some so-called oem batteries through amazon, and although they are not bad and they do hold a charge very close to the oem; however I doubt these are genuine oem. I received a battery directly from LG through a warranty replacement and when I got it in the mail it was in an official LG package with a LG seal. The ones on Amazon that are even listed as oem just come in a paper envelope with some bubble wrap, the sticker wrapped around the battery is more than likely sideways and it drains faster than the genuine lg battery.

Your best bet is to buy one directly through lg, or be very cautious on amazon or ebay and figure out if the battery will be shipped with lg packaging. They list them as new, but if they are truly new then they would have shipped them off like lg does. On amazon you can search for oem lg g2x battery and from there you have to decipher from all the sellers which one is selling a legit battery.

When an issue people have is the quality of the OEM battery why exactly would you insist on OEM? Get a good aftermarket battery or 3 instead.

[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Hey all, I've been doing a little messing around with boot animations for the A2.

For those who like the minimalist approach, attached is a simple boot animation where I just looped the stock pulsating motorola logo. I plan on putting together and posting some more elaborate ones when I get the chance.

To install (for those who are not familiar with the process):

1. copy bootanimation_moto_pulse.zip file to SD card

2. using Root Explorer (or the like) copy from SD card and paste to /system/media (make sure you mount r/w)

3. delete the current bootanimation.zip (make sure to save a copy on your SD card first, if you haven't already)

4. rename bootanimation_moto_pulse.zip to bootanimation.zip

5. mount r/o, exit Root Explorer, reboot, and watch the moto logo throb ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Another note for the minimalists...

If you completely remove the bootanimation.zip file from the /system/media folder (or mis-spell the file name), you get the nice, clean, and simple default android boot animation..

Also, I think it boots a bit faster with nothing in the media folder...

-----------

Some other useful tools for the boot animakers out there:

-Boot Animation Preview 1.5 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=676385 - lets you preview on your computer)

-Fotosizer (batch image converter/resizer/effecter.. for your computer, obviously - google it) (you can also actually do some batch ops with MS Office Picture Manager)

-Notepad++ (get rid of those pesky hidden spaces - remember to leave the blank line at the end!)

-ZArchiver app (allows for "store" type compression zip files on your phone - i use PeaZip on my PC, others use 7-Zip)

-Hot Boot option on your phone (it just reboots the Android UI only, and allows for a quicker way to check out the boot animation than a full reboot - i use Quick Boot Plus (i think there are other free options on the market)
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Well, I have seen a lot of boot animations floating around - many here in various threads on xda, as well as elsewhere on the web - that were either made to fit our phone, resized to fit, or it just so happens that they work on our good ol' Mr. Edison...

That being said, I suggest that we start a collection thread for Atrix 2 boot animations with links or attachments, and for general "theming" related discussion... Maybe it will even attract some creative graphical talent for making custom boot anis with "Atrix 2" and/or "Edison" themes (hint, hint...)

Anyway, here's a few more attached...

___________

Attachments

bootanimation_mod0.zip is one I threw together from various boot animations and I'm not sure who to give credit to, though the final loop is the boot ani from SCV5 (which I think was borrowed anyway - seen it called machinazul) only flipped 180, color removed, resized and slowed down a tad..

bootanimation_bwscv5.zip is the full-length, full-size boot ani used on SCV5 (silver, and flipped)

bootanimation_gears.zip is by JaeKar99, I just rotated and resized it.

bootanimation_ginger.zip is Gingerbread Anatomy by Nottach with artwork by freeny (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076876). I did nothing to this file but find it, look at it, and rename it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
I've attached the original stock motorola/at&t boot animation (bootanimation_origatt.zip) for anybody who may have lost it. I've seen a few posts with people asking for it..

Also attached is what I believe to be the Droid RAZR boot animation with sound file (bootani&sound.zip) - just unzip the zip, stick both files in the /system/media folder and rename the zip (you do not need to include the sound file if you don't want sound)
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
bootanimation_trondroid0.zip has the Nexus Tron bikes animation (by unknown), but that was too short without a loop section, so I added the particle ring by Dysgenic

bootanimation_shine.zip is a simple android logo with foggy light shining through - don't recall where I found it
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
bootanimation_ics.zip - the ICS boot (this is the jpeg version - i have a much larger png version with higher quality, but it's too large to post and it seems too large to boot smoothly.. i may mess with it a little more)

bootanimation_stache.zip - see preview here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=982286 - I just resized it (and lost the mortal kombat audio)

bootanimation_cm9.zip - CyanogenMod 9 boot ani thanks to Akilldema (see here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1511501 for previews and diff sizes/speeds - this is the one at 30 fps, you might want to try the 60 fps version)

blue razr atrix 2 bootanimation

Want to make my own bootanimation for our A2, so thought itd be better to know how to go about it by modding an existing one

i like the droid razr one a lot, so tried editing it a bit.. Let me know what you guys think.. cheers

Download link with sound file:

1. Blue Razr with Sound

2. droidsm.ogg

Just copy-paste the bootanimation.zip and droidsm.ogg files to /system/media folder and change permissions to -rw-r--r-- and reboot.

Backup and remove the original bootanimation.zip from /system/media

Edit: the animation was going too fast, so just decreased the fps.

3. Paste the one that I choose.

4. Rename the file to bootanimation.zip

I would use root explorer or solid explorer to edit. And if you're trying a boot animation with sound, try one without the sound and see how that does.
