[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] liquidxnitez:
I did the recent ICS update on my stock VIvid this weekend by downloading from HTC and updating it through my computer. I couldn't get the OTA to install from my phone for some reason.

Anyhow, the overall volume has increased which is a good thing since with GB the volume was rather low.

I can't remember if the Notification Volume was a part of the Ringtone Volume in GB. Can someone with a GB Vivid check for me? I believe it was a separate volume adjustment.

I'm somewhat annoyed with ICS that there are only 3 volume adjustments you can make - (1) Games, Music, etc (2) Ringtone and Notification (3) Alarms. I want to be able to adjust the Notification separately from the Ringtone. Is there any way for this to be done?

Other than that (and losing my games' progress), I am overall satisfied with ICS.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
I use an app called PERSIST | VOLUME CONTROL

its free from the market and allows for volume changing for

alarm, media, ringer, notification,system and voice, it also allows you to lock them (this was my main use for the app, I always bump the volume control as I'm used to the rocker being on the opposite side of the screen)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=netroken.android.persistfree&hl=en

on a similar note, I'm pissed that HTC removed the custom tone selection from their exchange client... I wish I could just get the AOSP exchange client, its so nice, I don't know why htc even bother writing their own :mad:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] co.ag.2005:
FWIW, in general, in Gingerbread (not sure about "Sense" GB), you could have notification and ringer volumes unlinked. In ICS, these 2 are now linked and you can't unlink them without special apps (some work, some don't) or a custom ROM. Just check out some of the complaints over in the Galaxy Nexus forums about this. I'm not sure why Google made this change.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] liquidxnitez:
david, I will check out the app.

co.ag, so I was remembering it correctly - Sense GB had everything separate from each other. I wish Google did not link Notifications to Ringtone. Its just bloody annoying for me to have all the main tones loud. I had everything where I was comfortable with on GB (well, the ringtone could have been louder...heh).

Thanks for the help guys.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] liquidxnitez:
I just tried out Persist Volume Control. It does not allow the Notifications to be adjusted independently of the Ringtone. :( It behaves just like ICS where the two are linked.

Grr....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] co.ag.2005:
Same here. Sucks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] s8int117:
I have a question about volume on ics and such. Its about the keyboard clicks, lock/unlock tick, the volume levels on gingerbread were very loud and noticeable but on ics you have to hold the speaker to your ear to hear it, is it just the rom i'm running or ics in general?

On a side note volume for everything else is normal and working great.

Anybody might know how to raise the volume level just for the mentioned tones.

Volume Butler

Volume Butler is the best app for separate ringer and notification volumes, and it's free. The app is simply one of the best apps I've ever seen.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackrox:
I found that there are 3500+ mAh batteries for the Nexus, but I'm trying to figure out which one. A lot of them have *extremely* ugly covers. I have a otter box, and would like to try to keep it compatible with common cases. It's not 100% necessarily important, but would be nice.

What are you suggestions on batteries? I found a few on Amazon, ranging from $10 to $60. I have verizon extended already. It sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] times_infinity:
You're probably not gonna find anything in the slim extended department. Every single 3800 mAh battery is huge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JasonD416:
You can get batteries for $10? Do they last? Or do you get what you pay for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
I hear they sell tanks at the local swap meet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Guarantee the $10 3800mAh battery will give you about the same life as the stock battery lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackrox:
I have no clue if they are any good. I'm not worried about the case, really, I just want to last at work:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wotandsdwys:
Ok, so I flashed a rom from Download Manager called "Ziggy and Mobstergunz"

looked like a cool theme and all....my mistake..

so now it won't boot, or boot into recovery. I can get into download mode, but even with the Kies drivers for Mac, my computer will not recognize it in download mode.

I've tried Heimdall, the Heimdall 1-click-unbrick, and a version of Odin for Mac. And nothing can recognize the device while its in download mode.

Any help? Going to be trying a Windows machine tomorrow.

Any help would be awesome.

Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Installing different phone based Roms to another phone is always causing a phone soft bricked and it's really hard to find the solution to bring back the phone to original state because wrong rom breaks the mechanism of phone working.

Just like you mentioned, you can try the DL mode on PC and two more chances to try.

1. Using USB Jig (search the forum about this)

2. Trying to do factory reset, by pressing power while pulling out the battery, or pressing power while inserting battery.

Hope any method works for your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CBowley:
If Heimdall didn't recognize your phone, try going through the steps to make adb work. That's what worked for me.

Awesome website where many people show off their custom screens. This is a daily website for me, I always go there to see awesome screens. I get alot of inspiration and I myself have created screens and uploaded them. Everyone should go there.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] UZR10278:
Yeah man. I just checked out the site about 2 weeks ago. All I can say is that I'm hooked. I've uploaded a few screens myself. I agree, everyone should check it out.:D
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Salviikiddd:
yeah. I wish they had an app for it so therefore I wouldn't have to wait to come home just to get on it on my computer. I've tried going on my phone but it's just not the same
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] UZR10278:

Yea I go there all the time. They should add a feature that allows people to directly apply a theme/screen to their phone, that could save hours of trying to mimic a sexy design :D

Wow I never thought of that, that's an amazing idea! If only it could happen... :rolleyes:
[Nook Color General] dereksurfs:
Hello,

I would like to clone a micro SD with a customized CM7 I have built and is in a fully functional state. The reason for this is I plan to buy additional Nooks for family members. And rather than go through all the steps again including post installation configuration and installation of prerferred apps I would simply like to place a clone of that image on additional microSD cards.

At work some of the guys use Norton Ghost to create mirror images on hard drives. Is there something similar for SD cards and Android based systems? If so what would be the most efficient and effective route? Open source or lower cost tools are of course preferred.

I used the free open source Win 32 Disk Imager utility to install the inital image. But it is designed primarily for writing images to an SD card, not creating them.

Thanks,

Derek

Hi, just FYI, Dan just released a MALICE update on 4/3 at

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21670-updaterommalicekl1-4312deficient-development/

I love both the TUESDAY & LOVE ROM - you can run both with Eugene's Streamline kernel (updated after Macnut R1)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1555534

Also, maybe try out this modem

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1572198

I don't know but an interesting question as to whether or not themes for Macnut or the Streamline kernel would work with the new MALICE, which uses Eugene's Streamline kernel

but if you prefer the M&S ROMs, try flashing Eugene's Streamline. I've had great battery with that.

Also, I've invested a mere $20, and bought 3 new batteries & wall charger on ebay. .... plus 2 extended 3500ma batteries, so, that handles my concern for battery.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldsun15:
So, i got myself a x8 (already have a Htc desire z, fully rooted and unlocked) since i had to renew contract and they basically gave it away (10dls/12months)

The problem is its 11w45, so from what i've been reading, its too risky to unlock bootloader.

So, my question is, is it still good to root? (using oneclick)

and also, what things can i do with just root?? and what things can i only do with an unlocked bootloader? (im already guessing that flashing kernels will be a no, for what ive read)

Thanks for all help

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milenkokg:
You can root without any problems,instal xrecovery and cwm,but wait for bootloader...some people work to break SE protection in newest kernel
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milenkokg:
And for root use fleshtool,and also instal xrecovery,after that instal cwm :):)

And you can istal gb 2.3 Rom for stock kernel
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alinuredini:
Hi dude!

I recommend you to just root your phone, install xRecovery and flash a custom ROM.. Unlocking bootloader is not successful for everyone.. check the back of your phone, under the battery there is a code formatted like (ex.mine is 12W04)

If this code is under 11W29 so it's 11W28,11W27 etc you can unlock bootloader.. Else you will get a hardbrick as I did and then u must send ur phone to SE :) good luck

[HTC Sensation] edge111hussain:
I own a htc sensation 4G. The phone was S-off and was rooted. I am new to android but i did follow every procedure perfectly till the following happened.

I downloaded the ota update. Whilst updating it, the update was successful but now my phone just shows a blank display. The phones on, i can receive calls too but its a blank black display with no touch capable.

I tried to run recovery (PG58IMG), it was successful, but when rebooting same problem.

From boot(vol down + power), if i go into recovery, nothing happens, phone simply boots up

Same is the result with factory reset. No matter what i try to do, the phone accepts the command and boots up leaving me with an on phone and no screen.

Next i tried RUU , RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.45.531.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208218_signed and the RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed VERSIONS.

It runs but, when it comes to the point where it says, waiting for fastboot, There is a htc screen(white and black text) and the phone just wont go into fastboot. ten odd mins later i get a msg saying error 177, usb not found on my cpu and the only option on screen is exit. When i pull out the usb from the phone, for abt 5 seconds it shows the fast boot screen with RUU written below the basic information and it goes back to the htc screen. Only way to cancel is to pull out the battery...

Now everything that i could find on the forum and net, i have tried.. Please tell me if there is another option or am i doing something wrong???

My big problem at the moment is that im not in the states, am in India and cant take the phone to a service centre... PLS HELP

Have u tried the tmous 1.50.ruu?
[HTC Sensation] edge111hussain:
RUU in general has a problem, the program keeps waiting for fastboot whilst i only have a screen with an htc logo on it. Only after waiting for a couple of hrs and disconnecting the usb cable, i get a fastboot screen with ruu written for abt 5 secs and it automatically goes back to the HTC screen..

I have tried 2 different ruu's and same end result.. so so..
[HTC Sensation] mugetsu666:
Have u tried talking to a tech at HTC?
[HTC Sensation] edge111hussain:
i did today, they told me that everything possible that he would advice me to do, you have already done so. There is nothing left to be done. Get it over at a service centre to check for hardware defects or a possible re-programing of the phone.

The thing is, In india, htc sells like hot cakes, but their back-end service is horrendous. Service centers are not htc's but third party and they charge crazy sums for a customer doesn't have a 2nd option.

Hence am considering and trying all other options before going to a htc service center.

Is there anything that i have missed out in trying from my end???
[HTC Sensation] mugetsu666:
Not that I know of, it sounds like the ota bricked ur phone and I'm not that good at that part. My knowledge only goes so far, sorry man.
[HTC Sensation] status_six:
Have you tried getting the PC to recognise the phone in fastboot?

If you have working fastboot then you can normally recover it.

Pull battery, reinsert, volume down & power then connect to PC.

Open cmd prompt as admin, cd to your fastboot folder, then enter "fastboot devices" and post the result.

Instructions on fastboot/adb if you are unfamiliar in the sticky guide to everything in dev forum.
[HTC Sensation] edge111hussain:
#mugetsu666 , i doubt the phones bricked, whilst everything is not working, aka fastboot, recovery, factory restore etc, the phone does boot and is on. How do i know this?? well, when i dial my no, the phone does ring but the screen is dead, as in black.. the 4 tabs below too r lit up but just no response..

#stringer7 , i did all of that already but whilst u asked me to post results, something just struck me.. when the phones put on usb, it charges and i can take it to fastboot too, but, on the task bar far right in devices, the pc is trying to search drivers for usb. Thats always on, even after leaving the phone on load overnight.. The pc is always searching for drivers and when i unplug usb, the no drivers found error does pop up..

"device driver software not successfully installed", is the windows error

Is the above info of any help?? considering the fact that i can take the phone on fastboot usb, but on the pc screen comes the error that usb not found or waiting for fastboot...

help
[HTC Sensation] status_six:
Can you get a message from "fastboot devices" as above? If so you should be able to run the correct ruu to recover.
[HTC Sensation] edge111hussain:
The thing is, that the comps not reading the phone as a android device.

It charges the phone but doesn't read it. Hence cant do anything..

Any RUU doesnt move beyond the usb detection point leaving me with an "ERROR 170", cannot read usb..

Did the ota do this or does this look like an hardware error?

The 1.45 ruu of t-mobile seems like the most common one, but i cant even put that 1 to the test cause it just doesnt go beyond detection

Hello everybody,

At first I would like to thank you for the anwers you'll post

I'm new in that forum and i hope to find a solution for my trouble

So I installed some apk on my viewpad in order to have the market and to create a google count

But my tablet switch off suddenly and reboot continuely

I found a firware on this site F70_VSAM__ etc and I installed it in recovery mode

but there were a missing file which coundln't be installed : tmp/userdata

I want to tell when I was on recovery mode I made a reset factory but nothing change

Did I eraise all the data on my tablet

The problem is I can't send it to repair because it was rooted with gingerbreak

Have you got some solutions for me ?

I would be very glad to read your post

Thanks so much
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] andyav:
I would try to redownload update for and try to update again. Verify file size and or checksum after downloading.

I have not done a factory reset on mine so i can not verify the outcome of a factory reset other than I would bet that all personal data has been removed. Not sure if it effects root.

Also, after you are able to update, you will have to root again using same method.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] stephboubou:
thanks so much for your answer

but I tried many times and two kind of files and it's the same every time

how could i put a file root and where could i find it ?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] andyav:
Which recovery mode are you in when you try to update? I know that vol up + power on is a different mode than vol down + power on. Have yet to figure what the difference is between the two are.

I have decompressed the update file that i have and there is a userdata.img file in it. Not sure how to tell it to install/update that file.

Mabye you might try different sd card if available.

Also just wondering if it is able to boot, and how far it might get during a normal boot.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] stephboubou:
so I used power + up to access the recovery mode and i don't know the difference between the two modes

i decompressed the package and i haven't got the userdata.img file in it and I think that's the trouble

the boot lasts about more than a minute, there are the picture of the birds then after it's written Viewsonic, it's loading for maybe 30s then it reboots

could you give me a copy of your userdata.img i could try to put it on the package

and the link where you find it

thanks so much
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] andyav:
I can post up the file but I would not be until tomorrow. I am at work and have all that on my computer at home.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] stephboubou:
ok I don't mind

I will wait until tomorrow or after

take your time

thanks so much
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] andyav:
Try this. I noticed that userdata.img was not in the root of the file but was in fact_recovery.img. Since I can not post that large of a file, and you have extracted the complete update, copy fact_recovery.img to root of sd card. Rename it update.zip and try to get the tablet to install that. With any luck all should go well. The only items in that file are userdata and userstorage, it should not effect any other parts. If you don't have that file let me know and I can post it up somewhere on the web.
