Hi bro, because you did it the wrong way that's the problem "never ever, flash a custom rom from stock recovery"

now your phone isn't bricked but in amnesia and need to be revived, this is the cure :):

since you're able to access stock recovery that let you flash cwm recovery from there:

1- download the custom recovery (update-CWM-5.2.0.8-touch-squadzone.zip) from here http://www.mediafire.com/?xk637cg12kt2cl0

2- copy it to your sd card (through card reader via your pc) then reboot the phone to recovery mode (press and hold power button+home button)

3- on android stock recovery hit "apply update from sdcard" then choose "update-CWM-5.2.0.8-touch-squadzone.zip" wait till it shows "install from sdcard complete"

4-Turn Off your phone, remove your sdcard then put a custom rom on it, insert back the sd card into phone then reboot to recovery mode

5- now you should see the new custom recovery, in the list choose: Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition then hit install zip from sdcard and choose your custom rom

6-after completing install process, wipe data and cache then hit reboot system

7-if all goes well your phone will boot normally like it should
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] turc182:
thanks man..i did all that you explain..the new custom recovery is installed but when i tried to wipe data,it was blocked(while the wipe cache success).i tried to install a new rom, the installation successful.but when i reboot the phone,it freeze in the first screen..

Wipe data/cache before and after you flash the rom.. or reinstall the rom again.. and by the way, you have GB installed before you did all these, right? Just making sure you did not install all these with froyo..

Hi,

I am new on Android and wondering if someone can show me way to get my Samsung GII 4.0.1, connected on my PC under Map network drive section.

I have my Synology NAS station and my PC maps its folder very easily on WiFi network via router.

But my mobile being on same network, doesn't show up when i tried to map it this way. it would be great as in this case i dont have to plug in cables all the time.

As Android is so customizable friendly, i guess some one have done it, i might be missing simple settings.

I will appreciate the help, thank you.

Hey i have 2 problems with the d4rom from the getgo.

can u please tell me if the miui camera is good like in 2.3.6 xxjw4 ? The camera is excellent in my gb and can take pic while video recording but zoom like in all gingerbread is jerky and unlike the ics cause there is no slider but how is the camera in MIUI ? Plus assist... also hear that the battery drainage is not good. Is this true ? If miui then can u please recommend me a good galnet miui ? Thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeplulz:
This is an individual choice. JW4 is better battery life and stable, MIUI more functional.

You can say a lot of pluses and minuses in all firmware versions, the choice just for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
Mintberry MIUI. nuff' said :)

JW4 comes from samsung and has that wonderful feature where your battery drains after charging to 100% while still plugged. Samsung says it's to protect you from overcharging and exploding batteries. I've never seen any other phone doing this and exploding but whatever. I don't like it as it as it prevents me from doing lots of stuff so I use MB MIUI that doesn't do this and remarkably manages to keep from exploding as well.

I really can't say anything from jw4's camera. I can speak about MB MIUI's however. Using glitch13.1 as kernel i have no problems with photos. I don't record video much but the few times i did i didn't notice any problems. I always record/shoot at top quality - if something's worth recording, it's worth recording as best as can be. I can always compress further later if needed.

Here's a pic i took today with miui's camera. Light conditions weren't the best and it was took in a hurry (it gets better if i take the time to do it) but i guess you can use it to get the idea:

Photo

I've been using the same rom a few months now, i can safely say i have no trouble with any "drainage" with miui. That used to happen a long time ago, latest GB versions have that corrected. To clarify, i have facebook, email (gmail pushing and default email client checking every 1h), manga watcher verifying for new episodes dropbox uploading automatically my photos, wireless and BT (connect to the car) always on and several other stuff going on. Battery easily lasts 1 or 2 days. The reason it doesn't is because i usually read A LOT with my phone. Having the screen on for about 4 or 5h a day drops the battery to 30 or 20%. That's not drainage, that's excess of use :D

I do not use mobile data, i keep it on 2G at all times.

I've replaced stock launcher for Go Launcher Ex. I recommend doing this, miui's stock launcher is very unorganized and i also get to use their brilliant Go widgets (facebook, calendar, etc)

Have around 590Mb In my data/data folder and the phone's still lightning fast (had to do the copy /datadata folder trick to prevent FC's when i reached around 570Mb)

Not sure if the new MB version has the bells and whistles of JW4 like face unlock, but seriously, apart from showing off to friends, who uses this anyway :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammyservices:
you are very kind. thank you. I will download mintberry miui and in a couple of days let u know. pls tell me one more thing ( sorry for being a pain! ) HDMI don't work with miui ? Thx !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
don't think sgs supports hdmi in any way but i think there was a thread a while ago about that. if you mean tvout, with their own RCA-like cable i'm not sure if it does. Think that was a samsung feature, if so, most likely no. cyanogen based roms don't usually carry samsung exclusive features.

I don't have any to test so i wouldn't know but try searching a bit around the forum, particularly in the MB MIUI thread. i'm sure someone asked that before.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amrs:
ICS added folders on the home screen, but when one is opened it has an ugly black background (see the screenshot). I've looked for launchers that have customization for this, but haven't found any yet. Some, like Apex, lets you customize the background of the folder icon but that's not what I'm talking about.

I have to admit haven't tried all launchers, I've mostly looked at feature lists.

So, my question is, does any launcher or any other program offer the capability to customize the ugly open folder background?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amrs:
Have a solution

Well, I guess there's no launcher with this feature. I did manage to change the folder background to 50% transparent in Nova launcher with the info found in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1518016. Basically, one needs to change the file portal_container_holo.9.png in the APK. The above mentioned thread provides some examples, like transparent and wood.

This method should work on any launcher based on the original ICS launcher, like Nova and also the modded one discussed in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412193
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Nightwolf117:
Howdy!

I have tested now and used about a bajillion roms on my LG Optimus One, and I am actually getting quite bored of CyanogenMod and MIUI.

Right now my P500 is taking a good charge up, after flashing iOSdroid to it this morning... And it isn't that smooth so I really want something new.

A Sense UI port is a big one that I am looking forward to, but it is still a tad too buggy for daily use. What I really want is the

Motorola

User Interface, or the Sony one.

I have a friend with a Motorola phone with "MotoBlur" on it, and I took it for a test run. Turns out I loved it! Same with the Xperia UI by Sony, it felt good on my other friend's Sony Xperia Play.

So, any of these roms out there? Or anyone gonna port either? I want them haha :P

Pointless Emoticon. :D

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JosKam:
I want to use ANT+ with some newer rom and not with the original SonyEricson version, but so far i couldn't fine any.

Latest try was the: MiniCM9-3.0.0 [1/4/12]ICS 4.0.4/CM9 port for the Χ8 by nobodyAtall with his ICS nAa kernel.

It looked promissing, because I could download the ANT Radio Services from Play Store, but as soon as i start an ANT+ enabled program I get messages like:

(ANT+ Demo)

Enabling ANT...

Enable ANT ->

(ANT+ Bike display Demo)

ANT radio not enabled

So it looks like it claims radio is there and functioning, but it doesn't work.

Any thoughts? Otherwise I'll have to go back (again, tried couple times already with different version) to old SE rom.

(The MiniCM9-3.0.0 looks great although battery drain is awful.)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Just as a general statement that applies to every ROM that's being developed from source ...

- Developers can't fix things where the required hardware for testing is missing.

- Developers won't fix things they don't use at all.

In short: Custom ROMs are being made by privateers in their spare-time. None of us is a employee of some smartphone manufacturer having access to tons of testing equipment or having someone to pay the bill for buying crap to conducts tests with.

On topic: Up till today the people I saw posting about ANT+ can be counted easily by just using the fingers of one hand ... so it's safe to assume that none of us actually owns a ANT+ gadget or makes use of it.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JosKam:
Just to make sure, i'm only asking for information.

About your statements:

Developers can't fix things where the required hardware for testing is missing:

The ANT+ radio is available in most Sony Ericson phones, you just need to install the drivers, and the demo programs.

You don't need to buy a heart rate monitor to see if it works.

In the case of the roms i tried, they either didn´t recognise ANT+ or the driver didn't initialize correctly.

Developers won't fix things they don't use at all:

No problem, I'll try to look into it myself.

On topic: ANT+ is one of the coolest things Sony Ericson implemented in their mobile phones.

At least for anyone that has a (Garmin) heart rate monitor with ANT+.

With your phone and ANT+ heart rate monitor you have a cheaper more flexible GPS/heart rate monitor device than you can buy from any company's and can make phone calls.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephend9:
Ant+ Rom

I haven't verified that it is working, but MiniCM7 claims to have working Ant+. Unfortunately, I can't use it because it requires the nAa Kernel and I can't unlock my bootloader because my phone is the 11W29 model.

If I find a way to safely unlock the bootloader I'll definitely be giving MiniCM7 a try. Other than lacking the ANT+, I'm really happy GingerDX.

If you find any way to get it working, please post the info.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nroberto13:
hi guys,

have you managed to get ANT working on any rom? I'm trying to use it on a ray with iced bean 3.0, but it's just saying enabling ant and after a while switches to enable ant. I mention, I have installed the ant radio service ant ant demo from play. an tried to activate with the demo.

[HTC One X] jagdipa:
So I have had a HTC Desire for two years, and have just ordered a new HTC One X :)

How do I easily move all my data over? I'm worried about contacts, photos or videos. What I am worried about is the application data. For example, I have all three stars in every level of angry birds, and don't want to lose that ;)
[HTC One X] DZkonrad:
Try titanium backup and contacts backup
[HTC One X] treebill:
The one has an app.to help you move data from.your old phone via bluetooth I haven't tried it though.
[HTC One X] Braindamage1989:
I did, and it doesn't backup app data.

Only thing that I got were contacts, not even my old messages or call logs.

If you want to keep your progress with Angry Birds, I recommend a Titanium backup or so.
[HTC One X] leaston:
I used the built-in app too and with the same result. Contacts only. They weren't brought across cleanly either with a fair few duplicated.

Titanium is about your only reliable option for bringing over your data from the Desire and you need root to use it.
[HTC One X] eirikgu:
Doesn't Titanium require root?
[HTC One X] Wtrt:
I am afraid that backing up your angry birds requires root permission (titanium backup)

Photos and videos might be quite abit easier. You could already make a dropbox account and put all files there.

For calls and sms I use Sms backup + which backs up calls and sms to a label in your gmail account. which i find very useful (it can also restore them)

As far as contacts go, i assume they are integrated in your gmail account or exchange server?

If not you can import them to your gmail contacts. I did this when i first got my desire and now i keep all my contacts on there. It is probably the moest useful phone related thing i have ever done.
[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
Suprised by some of the responses. Don't you people have your contacts backed up to your Google account automatically?

Contacts - Google account so no need to do anything.

Photos/videos - Just copy them over via PC

Game data - Titanium backup

PS. I upgraded from a Desire and believe me you will not regret the decision to get a One X. It's hard to believe these two phones are only 2 years apart in terms of release date. The One X design is so sexy in comparison, it's also lighter, slimmer and the screen is unbelievably better.
[HTC One X] KickAssMoves:
As has been said

Contacts - Done via Google

Email - Done via Google

Photos/Music - SD Card backups

App Date - Rooting + Titanium

SMS - SMS Backup & Restore

I have just rooted my OneX fairly easily and everything has moved over apart from Temple Run
[HTC One X] Janniktn:
There is an app in the store which will be able to backup your angry birds saves without root. Just search for angry birds backup in the store
[HTC One X] fruit-full:
I tried "Backup Everything" which is pre-installed on the Runnymede Desire ROM. Seemed to work from user customised standard to new ROM fairly well.
[HTC One X] jagdipa:
Thanks guys. This phone is awesome.

Here's what I did (as per the replies above):

- Contacts via Google

- Email via Goolge

- SMS using SMS Backup and Restore from Google Play

- Angry birds using Angry Birds Backup from Google Play

I didnt want to root my new HTC One X and invalidate the warranty, hence not using Titanium.

I am actually disappointed with Google for not making something that can easily do this. I mean, its just a case of installing the .apk files and then transferring the data.

It does. Your carrier has to support integration with GV, iirc. With sprint, GV offered to make my actual phone number the GV number. So when I text from the browser it is from my mobile number.

When i first found the app i thought it was such an amazing thing. I purchased my subscription well before my initial free period was over. I tell you I do not regret it at all. Texts from people are automatically backed up in my Gmail account. If i need to find a text someone sent i just log into Gmail and search in:chats for the name or number or a snippet of what i'm looking for. The features, convenience, and how well it's built is worth the investment.

[General Questions and Answers] Ci2e:
I'm in the same boat, I have a few more days of DeskSMS access and I like the dark skin as well, but I actually dislike DeskSMS mainly because I'm not seeing both sides of the conversation sync in GMail (only received syncs) and I still need to figure out how to make synced SMS's in GMail sync as read. Although I do like the quick access button that doesn't force you to open the application in a dedicated tab, but if you do want a dedicated tab the functionality is there I just never see myself using it. Then again the quick access button is very noticeably laggy.

I also use GVoice for business use and I prefer keeping my carrier's phone number for personal use. Problem is I can't use my carrier's phone number to text from GVoice unless I have GVoice take over my carrier's phone number.

Are there any work arounds I've overlooked? I basically use DeskSMS to text from my PC without having to pickup my phone constantly.
[General Questions and Answers] NastyBedazzler:
Reply

I also use Airdroid sometimes, and it is good for messaging and for uploading smaller files to my phone. I tried using other apps (I forgot which ones unfortunately) to text from my Mac but I still find DeskSMS to be the best. It sends messages right to my Trillian (or AIM but it lags) and it typically works. Sometimes it stops and you gotta do a little tinkering to figure out why it isn't working, but for the most part I haven't found anything that beats it (especially when I'm at work and don't want my boss to see me texting).

I paid for the year, I didn't even realize it was a trial at first but I happily paid the small fee to keep using it. I've only paid for a few apps in my lifetime (Call Control and Titanium Backup basically), but it does a lot of good things for me and it was worth it.

I am the dev for an SMS/MMS forwarding app called PhoneLeash. Its not free but its a one-time fee. PhoneLeash forwards to email or to a second phone (via SMS). It forwards both incoming and outgoing texts so you get a nice threaded view in GMail (for instance). And you can reply via email (or the second phone). It has some other phone locating features as well. Perhaps y'all will take a look!
