My friend has a jailbroken iPhone and has a really cool app called Cylay (if you don't know what it is, Google it. In essence, it's an anti-theft app that can do a bunch of cool stuff). I was wondering if there was an equivalent in the Market (I refuse to call it by its new name)?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
A good one is SeekDroid.

It is on sale right now, you can locate phone, track it on a map, wipe the phone, etc. I think it is one worth looking at.

Actually, your HTC Sense account can do all that remote lock or wipe your phone, as well as geolocate via the website. It just has to be set up properly.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] digital_mush24:
Well then, how do I "set it up properly"?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pauley:
I wouldn't go the HTC Sense route, they sent out an email telling me to download my data because it's shutting down for a overhaul. Google it, you'll see. Besides it says it doesn't support ICS at this time anyways.

I have SeekDroid & Avast installed on my Vivid. SeekDroid you can control from internet or another phone, Avast can only be done via another phone, but has more features.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dusty2422:
HTC no longer supports these features through htcsense.com.

That's the one! I've tried it and even went on to pretend my phone was lost/stolen, and was able to locate on a map on my laptop with and without GPS active. I think its awesome. Also its free if you use for 1 device (or one device per account).

Wheres my Droid pro is pretty nice, you can lock, unlock, make ring, locate, wipe phone, wipe SD, sim lock, and there's more stuff I just can't remember.

Oh and you can do this all via text message commands from any phone that texts, maybe even from sending a text via Facebook, or the wheres my Droid website if you set up commander.

Here's another small tip, I do this to prep for a new OTA update.

Only useful for BML based roms, or stock rooted, etc.

Load up the SPH-D700_XXXX_stock package

Remove the DATAFS and CACHE partitions

Flash to phone

This leaves you with a stock "/system", kernel, recovery, and modem.

Allowing you to receive / apply the new OTA, without erasing all your data.

Just what the title says. It doesn't matter what rom I flash or try to go to a back up ... when I hit reboot system now it brings up the Asus splash then right to cwm recovery. Any ideas fellas? :beer:

No roms or back ups are working.

I was doing a factory reset from settings, went back to my prime and was on cwm recovery.

I looked at that other Thread but I am also confused and getting very upset that I might have ruined my new tablet. I installed CWM etc and everything was fine. I was trying to install the Primalicious ROM and thought I followed everything exactly like it said... I got up to where it says "install from SD Card." Little did I know that they meant internal memory.... I had the zip on the removable SD Card and not internal memory, so I have nothing to flash! I am able to get to the CWM Recovery Screen but I can't load the removable SD Card etc... If I restart, it gets stuck on the Splash Screen and doesn't do anything... I tried adb but I can't seem to get it to work right (on my Mac and PC). It can't find my tablet. I hope there's a way to fix this, so if you know please lend a helping hand here. I tried reviewing the other thread but just very upset and frustrated here so I apologize if I missed the answer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chefdave12118:
The only ****ing device I've bricked! And! The only device I've had where I didn't think it needed to be rooted or a custom rom. I had to root it, unlock it and put a custom recovery on it. What a dumb ass I am. I'll figure this out but a little help would be nice peeps! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chefdave12118:
Think I'm OK. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chefdave12118:
When you go to install from SD check both /download paths for the internal zip.

Probably a dumb question but did you make a nandroid?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chefdave12118:
Thanks buddy! I think that will do the trick. Off from work tomorrow and will give it a shot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] antnyp85:
I checked every path that it lets me check. The problem was that I didnt download directly from my Prime. I had downloaded it onto my computer and then copied the file to the external SD Card, and CWM does not let me get to the external sd card, only internal memory...

And no, not a dumb question but dumb answer, I did not make a nandroid backup because I'm a dumb@ss and forgot. I was just following the instructions late last night and didnt even think about the back up.

*EDIT* I was able to get ADB to work, and it recognizes my tablet... Anyone know how I can push the file onto my tablet? I don't know the directory I should put it in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chefdave12118:
Ahh. ****! I'll be working on mine all day tomorrow... I'll see if I can find anything for ya.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paddycr:
Put the rom zip file in the same directory as adb, then do this:

adb push [name of rom].zip /mnt/sdcard/

Go back to CWM and you should see the rom on your sdcard. There is a pretty good walk through of adb here:

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] yanksrock1000:
Hey guys. Like most, or alot of you, I have the ics leak. But i was just wondering, what happens when the real ice cream sandwich is released form acer this month?

Will we have to stick with the leak? I dont want to...it will be more stable with the official.

Will we have to downgrade to HC?

Anything else we could do?

thanks!

yanksrock1000
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
According to some previous info from Acer employees, you should still receive the update even if you're running the leak. Even if you don't, it should be available as a zip file flashable from recovery.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Land Master:
Iv'e read a couple of conflicting stories on this and both of them were from users that supposedly contacted Acer directly. One said we will get it and one said we won't.

In either case I wouldn't be so quick to accept an OTA even if it is offered. Best scenario would be like you say that someone gets the update file and creates a flashable zip with any "holes" they might have patched removed.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] FloatingFatMan:
Ignore comments from front line Acer support. In most cases, they know LESS about the updates than WE do.

And yeah, the OTA will cause us problems. Wait for it to be patched, once its out. Won't be long.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] yanksrock1000:
Ok. I'm glad that alot of people on here know what to do, or the possible senerios.

I asked acer support about the date, and they said April 27th.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] notsointeresting:
Once the official build is out don't update to it as that will most likely update our bootloader and make the unlock process they made useless. Wait for someone to post an update . zip that doesn't update the bootloader
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] toyface:
I doubt it would work (hell none of us know what will be coming in the OTA) but to update from .009 to .012 I deleted the recovery folder and the boot loader blob and flashed it in cwm, keeping my CWM install and my unlocked bootloader

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmanuf:
Hello everyone.

I am running Pure ICS 7.2 Rom and like it very much.

Now i'm in need of finding the most suitable kernel that does not differ alot from stock kernel.

It does not need alot of functionality.

I just want it to be very stable, fast and light..

So no need for 100 of features im not going to need anyways.

The only feature I currently need is the BLN mod.

All the kernels support this, but in the mean time they support 100 of other things, which leads me to the conclusion, the kernel becomes bloated.

Can someone recommend me the most lightweight/fast/stable kernel.

May i remind you, I dont need overclock,underclock,governors,scheudlers etc etc.. I just want to leave it as is!!!!

NEAK kernel says

"The lightest kernel for I9100 ever made!!"

But I find that hard to believe if one looks at the feature list.. It is HUGE!!!!

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engloa:
Try neak,its fast and light.im currently using it

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocky23:
neak is good but give a try to siyah too all depends the way u use it an ull get ur results as which kernel is good for u.no one will tell tht a perticular kernel is the no 1...we all experiment an thts the way it is......cheeerz
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobileguynz:
Tried a few liking Neat Rom stock and rooted and if you want the ICS look just add ICS Domination 4.1
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
please read before posting - or try understand the difference between a kernel and rom...

@op the only way to find out is test them yourself - recommended with BLN, would be neak or siyah obviously
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmanuf:
Please guys be more precise and read the first post again!!!

I know I can just try different kernels as the first few posts suggest.

But c'mon guys why reinvent the wheel with kernels as well?

I know its a good idea to try different ROMS, and I give the same advice to others, and I have already tried my share of ROMS.

But its just plain stupid doing the same with kernels as well.

In the siyah forum post, some people complain about random restarts etc. The kernel motto is "One kernel to rule them all"..

I DONT NEED SO POWERFULL KERNEL!

I dont need 100 features, 100 governors, support for CM9 and all its functionality etc. etc.. I just want to install and go.

Dont want to play around with scheudlers, governors, OC/UC etc. etc..

You guys catch my drift?

I have very specific demands which I stated in the first post.

I didn't just ask "Which kernel should I use..."

Therefore please only post something, if you have something usefull to say. Not just try NEAK kernel! And why exactly should i try NEAK kernel?

In that forum, people complain about lagging issues etc..

I DONT NEED THAT!

I need a kernel I can flash and forget! Dont want to visit XDA every 2 days to check for updates to the kernel!

Exactly like stock kernels and ROMS. They are only updated maybe once every 6 months or so, because they are stable, and dont crash too often!

I need to have the same experience with the kernel!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
well mate, to be honest with ya ICS kernels still obviously aren't 100% stable as sources have only been released for a short period... it obviously sounds like you want a stock Kernel or a kernel similar to SpeedMod, but guess what? they don't have BLN which you stated you wanted. Both Neak and siyah do, and are decent choices, some people prefer one over the other, there is no one better choice, definitely at this current stage in ICS development - so choose one :) this is why people are saying test one and see for yourself; otherwise move back to gb if you really need BLN and complete stability.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmanuf:
Thanks man for your honest post :)

Coming from HTC Desire, I was kind of shocked Samsung omitted the notification led ( why o'why would they do that :( )

And off course all the reviews of SGS2 were praising the phone so much, they didn't state the obvious con of not including this led :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdZERO:
Why don't you stay with the cf root kernel until the other kernels get a stable version?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
I know what you mean! I had a galaxy s2, however was stolen and found a HTC Desire cheap, so used that for a while, loved the led notification light! However couldn't overlook the fact of the speed of the galaxy s2 and finding one cheap shortly after (thanks ebay!), I reverted back to the s2; one thing its missing is the led, for sure! Though while we do have BLN, it does affect the battery life so isn't really ideal. Though back on topic, if we wait a month I believe we will have stable, fast kernels (whilst also having BLN of course ;) ) , which will shred gb and the custom kernels we had for that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] OmarBizreh:
Good evening everyone :)

Before I create this thread, I tried lots of tutorials & youtube vids hoping I could find a way to solve my issue (incase I'm wrongly flashing android)

anyways, everything is completed without issues, except for when running android on the HTC HD2... once the system starts loading the device reboots :S

I Fixed Permissions, deleted cache ...etc I even started from point 0 where I wipe everything and then I start partitioning, then installing bootloader ...etc

I'm using this release of Android: NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.3 (even tried this one: IceCreamTosti_v0.11_AOKP28_29, same thing happened)

and afterwords I flash this Kernel: NexusHD2-Kernel_2.6.32.15_tytung_ics_r1-MAGLDR-update

and IF and only IF I succeed to reach ICS Boot animation, I don't get pass the boot animation ...

Any idea what I could be missing in order to be facing this issue?!

Another question, for my Xperia Arc S I must unlock bootloader to be able to flash custom ROMs, is there such thing for the HTC HD 2?!

I also can't turn on the device unless it's connected to the PC, other than that it will never turn on, any solution for this thing?!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] theslam08:
There is a question forum JUST FOR THIS! Reporting thread.

On a ontopic point, if it boots once the second time you go to boot delete dalvik cache then boot the second time. Also dont flash kernels. Just flash the ROM and boot. Reboot, delete dalvik then boot. It will be fine. Unless you need a new phone.

Next time, POST IN THE CORRECT SECTION! Dont you notice how your topic has NOTHING to do with development? Useless topic....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] OmarBizreh:
Thanks for your answer.

As for posting the thread, I had lots of tabs open on my browser so I didn't notice I was on the development forum, my mistake :o

I tried your method, and yet I can't reach the boot animation :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zach.antre:
Let's start from beggining...

1st check HSPL you installed... which version is it?

MAGLDR and cLK 1.5 rc1 works fine with all versions.

cLK 1.4.0.1 needs HSPL 2.08

2nd which bootloader are you using? Make sure it is the latest (MAGLDR 1.3 or cLK 1.5 rc1)

3rd Important check your partitions.

make sure /boot is at least 5MB

/system, deppends on the ROM, if you are not sure unzip ROM and check system folder size.

If this doesn't work, I suggest to check for bad sectors in your NAND, I don't remember how to do it in MAGLDR but if you search forum a bit you will find it.

for cLK you will see in CMD when you try to erase partitions using the command "fastboot erase system" (that is if i remember correct, search about it).

If you have bad sectors try make bigger partitions, if i recall correct MAGLDR is able to detect bad sectors and skip them.

I have been trying to flash the Android Police ICS RUU, everytime i try to it loads the file "PH98IMG.zip" and after it loads in the bootloader it goes through a blue loading bar, then an orangeish loading bar, and then it just goes to the bootloader, it does not ask me to update like all the instruction guides say it should, how could i flash it if it does not ask me to update? I have relocked it and i know it is just "PH98IMG.zip" not ".zip.zip" My last resort would be to re-download the Mirror containing the RUU (with my slower internet it would take a couple hours) Thanks for the help!
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
you have to run the ruu twice
[HTC Rezound] galloway2323:
Im not able to run it at all, once the bootloader recognizes it, it loads a blue bar, then loads an orange bar, and then it goes to the original bootloader screen, it does not ask me to update and does nothing else, which is how to run it (from what i understand)

Finally got to try Meanrom again and it looks like it comes with Anthrax kernel 882. But even with that, sense was still choppy. Also it doesnt seem to have leedroids tweak which can help enhance sense and status bar. Everything looks pretty stock on it with bloat removed. I'm not knocking his rom as a lot of people love it. But my preference goes to ZR3D for its smoothness (even with stock kernel), along with the inclusion of leedroids tweak, and several eye candy but not overly done. But in the end you will be the best judge so just try them both and see for yourself and as someone suggested, try other roms as well. Its as easy as making a nandroid backup and try each rom without redoing your data just yet and just play with it for a few minutes. A lot of times thats all you need to see if its the rom for you. All the devs work hard in making their rom special to them and to others so make sure you support them by making a small donation. I dont know what I would do if I had no choice but to be stuck using HTC stock rom. That would really suck! lol.
