Command line is definitely the most efficient way to get things done...

But a shiny Linux UI is the only way to win over the Microshaft and crApple users.

Whenever people see me typing commands into the terminal, they usually ask me who I'm talking to or what language I'm speaking in that little box.

When they see me rotate to a different workspace with different applications running in it, they ask me if I can make their computer do like that.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henweigh:
At some point this summer I plan on buying a new phone, likely an iPhone. My Samsung is currently running Cyanogenmod and the UI blatantly looks much different than a stock phone.

I'm guessing the answer to all this is they won't care, but if you bring in your rooted/customized phone and the people at Verizon are transferring data or anything from that phone to a new phone or otherwise messing with your rooted phone that works fine, do they care if they notice your phone is rooted? Does it violate any terms relating to your overall contract, or does anyone have any experience with them giving you a lecture about not doing that?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schu9120:
I'm not sure if we are violating our contracts... but I can tell you that the last time I was in my local Verizon store, 3 out of the 4 employees I talked to were running rooted phones. If you are nervous, just Odin back to stock before you go in.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadin.zimmerman:
it's in no way a violation of the contract. Android is all open source so you can do what you want. Most people think it's pretty cool if you have a rooted/rommed phone, although I'm sure a few Verizon people frown upon it. If you bought the phone it's yours, you can do what you want lol
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andymetoo28:
^ this. I wouldn't be worried and I'd even be surprised if they gave you a dumbfounded look when you said you were; it's no biggie. And yeah, just flash back to stock if anything beforehand.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarkozy:
You may not be doing anything legally askew, but Verizon is under no obligation to provide any support whatsoever if the phone isn't running the carrier software.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumpyz9:
They wouldn't be supporting it. They'd be transferring his account to a new phone, which means he's going to give them money which they usually like. If he was coming in for a repair then they wouldn't. You won't have any problem.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
He was asking if he'd have any trouble with them transferring data like contacts to a new device. If the new device is an android, pretty much everything including contacts is backed up on Google servers so no problem, but if he gets an iPhone like he mentioned, I'm not sure how they would transfer contact data. But that's something it might be helpful to be back on the stock software for. Just my two cents, like I said I don't know how that data transfer between a fascinate and iOS device would go.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neh4pres:
They would probably use the Verizon backup app.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobloblaw1:
This. I don't understand why verizon intervention is necessary here. Install the app and do it yourself without a trip to the store. It'd take all of 2 minutes to accomplish?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
That's what I thought too, but didn't know if that app comes on iPhones. I thought they came free of any carrier software, which is something I've gotta give Apple credit for. Although knowing how simple they make iOS devices for technologically unsavvy people, I've gotta think there's a pretty simple way to get your contacts.

I'm not really sure what you'd need Verizon for when getting a new device either, the only thing I can think of is getting your sim card for an LTE device.

[Defy General] metal_militia84:
Hi everyone, newbie to Android here looking for a bit of help. I took the time to sift through the forums and do my own research before posting and didn't find anything similar so here goes.

I flashed my Motorola Defy running stock Froyo 2.2.1 to CM7 using Defy Clockworkmod Recovery which I got from this site (link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=875233). No major issues except for the learning curve one has to go through when using Android for the first time, did take a lot of reading though. After flashing I noticed that I no longer picked up a cell signal, attempted to flash back to Froyo which, as far as I understood, was possible if you did your flashing through CWM. Anyway, after doing the factory/cache wipe and rebooting my phone freezes at the CM7 "Google" logo which comes up on boot. Attempted wipe several times, same result.

I tried flashing with RSD Lite 5.7 but after unzipping the CM7 file I get an error message regarding an XML file. The machine I'm running RSD on is Windows Vista and apparently there are some compatibility issues. Is my only solution running a Windows XP VM and attempting to flash from there?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
[Defy General] premaca:
Do you still have bootmenu and CWM on your phone? if so just install CM7. If you are able to install and boot into CM7, just keep it. No need to go back to stock froyo. You should use baseband switcher (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1052745) and switch to the correct depending on your region. This should pick the phone and data signal.

I too have vista with 32bit and had no issues using RSDLite, couple of folks have reported compatability issues but do not know. You can as well use XP if possible to flash back to froyo. Please charge the battery to sufficient say more than 70% and start flash.
[Defy General] metal_militia84:
I do have bootmenu, after flashing CM7 the CWM was no longer on my installed apps, tried to get it from market but that as well as other google apps were missing, unfortunately I attempted to go back to Froyo before flashing the google apps pack :( from what I understand flashing through bootmenu is done using RSD, correct? Thanks for the link to baseband switcher, Ill give it a try as soon as my phone is back up and running :)
[Defy General] locn:
as far as i understand if you just have bootmenu and can install CM7 then just download the google pack and then go back into boot menu and install the google pack then you should be good to go again.

sorry if i have mis-understood.

[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I use titanium backup. I back up all apps and use it to restore apps only first, then only restore data on key apps like list mgr pro, acar, and my games. The main concern with restoring backups is to not do a batch backup and to never restore data on a system app, because the code can change from build to build.

If your trying to Uninstall Google Play just go into manage apps and uninstall. Or you can use Titanium Backup to uninstall. Then just Google an older Android Market apk. Install it normally, or push with adb.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tuxfamily:
Hello.

I think he said that the Market / Play store is not working on the phone initially delivered without the market, even if he install it manually, and whatever is the version.

I've the same problem on 2 chinese phones, the first one on android 2.3 and the second on android 2.2.

On both, the main problem is that the option "Accounts & sync" in the settings is missing and therefore it is not possible to manage accounts (or it is present but you cannot add a google account).

Unfortunately, the market app is looking for these infos to obtain your market account.

Plus, on the android 2.3, the market crash at launch because of some missing librairies, but it is another story :)

So, his main concern is probably : how can I manage the accounts if it is not available in the settings ? there is a way to manually add a google account outside of the settings ?

And I must admit that I don't know :o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ducnv:
Sure

For phone already have market and run normally (have right already), we can replace by other version like Googplay

I'm trying to find the way to run market or google play normally on the phone (origin SW don't have market)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JokerAce:
You need to have googleservicesframework and googlefeedback installed on your phone as well for it to manage account. Download any gapp packages, for instances cyanogenmod ones and adb push it to system/app. With both the market and the googleservicesframework in the system, it will be able to manage the account and work as it should. Hope that helps.

adb remount
adb push c:\market\GoogleFeedback.apk /system/app/GoogleFeedback.apk
adb push c:\market\GoogleServicesFramework.apk /system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk
adb push c:\market\Vending.apk /system/app/Vending.apk
adb reboot

I always 'cleanup' the gapps package before installing it on cm7. And I don't have any Googlefeedback.apk installed and things work fine (for sure the other 2 are installed...).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tuxfamily:
Ok, good to know, thanks.

But in my case, there was no gapps package on this chinese phone, so, no need to clean up :)

Because lot of settings are missing in this chinese phone, so I wondering if ... :o

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ducnv:
Tks JokerAce,

I almost find same way like you but I just copy GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Vending.apk to \system\app (Use Root Explorer)

Now, I copy GoogleFeedback.apk

Install all above files

Run Market, I cannot sign in with old account or create new account

Note: I copy those files from Android 2.2.2 to my Chiness phone 2.3.5, is it OK?

Pls help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tuxfamily:
What do you mean by "install" ?

Because you don't have to (you must not) install these files, once copied, you must restart the phone.

If you've installed these apk manually, uninstall them, and retry.

For "Vending.apk", the version is not an issue, but I don't know for the Gapps.

If you want I can send you those from my android 2.2.2 in PM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] [] AL []:
There, I've attached all of the 3 files mentioned...

The Vending.apk is Market version 3.4.4 but it will be updated to the latest GooglePlay pretty quickly once you install and use it - because even if I frooze (deleted in fact) the MarketUpader.apk from my phone, it still updated alone a week or two ago...

So just delete any Vending.apk from /system/app you may have first. Then if you have a root enabled file explorer, move to three files in that folder AND (since no one mentionned that already)

don't forget to set the files permissions and ownership and reboot.

That can easily be done with Root Explorer by long pressing on the file (after setting the folder to R/W - top right corner) and choosing "Permissions" and later (scroll way at the bottom) "Change Owner" [see 2 pics for details - sorry for the pic in Chinese - no time to take screenshots of this..]

OR

if your rom includes it, use Teminal Emulator from the app drawer (but that's a lot of typing!) by placing the 3 files on the root of your sd card and enter all of the following lines in Terminal:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system/

cd /sdcard/
cp -f Vending.apk /system/app
cp -f GoogleServicesFramework.apk /system/app
cp -f GoogleFeedback.apk /system/app

cd /system/app/
chmod 644 Vending.apk
chown 0.0 Vending.apk
chmod 644 GoogleServicesFramework.apk
chown 0.0 GoogleServicesFramework.apk
chmod 644 GoogleFeedback.apk
chown 0.0 GoogleFeedback.apk
