[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] NYSEAN1:
Sorry it did not work for you. I am not hundred percent sure what kinda lock my card had. I wanted to run WP7 and android...so I installed WP7....did not quite partition the card for android as per the instructions.....this is the second time I failed to do that....WP7 without the option of android sd is lame....anyways therefore I wanted my card back...could not format it in anyways...via my camera...was not even recognized by my computer and mini tool....send usb unlock code....all failed for me....this happened to my last card also...i was never able to revive it...and did not work out any method I could find in xda and outside....but this time and with this diff. card 4ext was able to partition and format it back to normal. I can't even find that one anymore to try my new finding as I am aslo skeptic to try and take another chance with my current card as I use it everday....that I know for sure had Yuki rom installed when it first came out ...I am still searching for that card...and if I do find it I will certainly give feed back.

However....those who have installed ext4 will certainly appreciate it...since it is (I think) the best recovery you can have for you android...only thing is that some roms don't support ext4...so be aware of that.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Whatdoyaknow:
Thanks for your explanation NYSEAN1

Thus your title/heading is fully correct - to unlock from Yuki rom.

I guess I got excited thinking that meant unlock a "bricked" SD card, which has been bricked through an error installing a WP7 rom such as Yuki rom. The two issues are different. However, you have not claimed the later case, but the first, and that is fair enough.

I have always hoped that an Android system might resurrect a fully bricked card- I still hope, but not their yet.

Thanks again

Edit 1: BTW thanks for putting me on to ext4. I do like it!!!

Edit 2:

Seems like the only way for a bricked card is for a Nokia device (or similar), which I don't have. See

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Sneakyghost:
If you couldn't reset the card by sending unlock cab, it simply means you did not suffer from the WP7 DRM encryption. That means your method is up until now nothing more than a faint hope. Someone has to really verify.

My theory:

It is from my perspective and experience much more likely that the file system, boot record or both had been damaged in a random way. since every partitioning tool pursues a different way of doing it's job, some might fail at your particular issue and some might get the job done. This time, it worked out for you with the 4EXT while all others failed.

Tools to try before giving up:

- windows format

- SD formatter from SD-association

- mini Tool

- EASEUS Partition Master

- Acronis

- 4EXT

To overcome the WP7 DRM encryption you would need a tool that forcefully ignores some SD-specific parameters and commands, which where originally invented to lock down these cards. As with all these systems, they only work if both content provider and content reader agree to stick you the specifications. If one doesn't, the encryption doesn't work. So far, only a certain edition of Nokias symbian does ignore the encryption command. BUT: I was hoping that also the 4EXT would maybe ignore it...

EXT4 recovery is the best, isn't it? I have it for months now and love it :) Sorry it did not help you with the bricked card...I suppose mine was not bricked then....however it does help restore your card after WP7...my card was not recognized by any device before I did this process to get it back....In any ways I am sticking to WM6.5...need my Garmin with live traffic :) and many android SD Roms on it...

[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
I've seen a few people with the Electrify (US Cellular version of Photon 4G) say they have "bootstrap" as an alternative to an unlocked bootloader (which we absolutely cannot get at this point). I've seen the bootstrap topic for Photon, but I asked a week or two ago if it worked for Electrify, and nobody knew if it did. So I thought I'd toss out a more general request. So, does anybody know how to get bootstrap on the Electrify?
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
bootstrap does work on electrify :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] zikario507:
which is the procedures to install bootstrap on electrify..

can i install ICS cm9 on electrify with bootstrap
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktyrF0M91eY should help you with that
[Motorola Photon 4G] zikario507:
do you have bootstrap install on your electrify..?

can i install ICS cm9 with bootstrap? :DD thanks you so much for the support
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
I had bootstrap on electrify till I bricked it, then had to take to us cellular to reflash the sbf, so now stock again, butt rooted.... and u can't flash cm9 cuz it also requiress a dif kernal which because of locked bootloader and Motorolas heavy encryption u can not flash kernals or id have me some ics right now

*ALSO* best ROM to flash with bootstrap is rockorom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
You cannot install ANY AOSP ROMs (CM7, CM9, MIUI, Paranoid, etc) on a locked phone. The results will be very nasty. You are limited to LOCKED ROMs like Rocko and Uninversal.
[Motorola Photon 4G] zikario507:
ok :D thanks you so much...

is it very recommended install rockorom on my electrify 2.3.5 lock BL?
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
yes. I have locked bootloader and I think rocko rom is the best we can get. I think IM about to jump back to it until I can get droid razr
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
And why doesn't anyone with Electrify try to pull updater-binary from rocko zip and push in my zip, delete the lines for flashing kernel from updater-script in my zip and delete boot.img from my zip and try to flash with bootstrap? Maybe this won't work, but I don't see, why not. And if you know, how to sbf to stock, then there's nothing to loose and you'll have more options for available ROMs. ;-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
peetr..... I think u told me about this over pm but I got scared of trying it cuz I could never download the full sbf without errors or it just randomly download, or whatever..... is there a way to pull stick sbf off phone?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
You have to download it to computer. Try some different computer with different internet connection. You have to use RSD lite, there's no workaround.
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
tried to. using mcdonalds wifi and tethering from phone. wont download for me
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Ok. So someone from USA could send you the DVD with sbf. :-) I don't know about other options.
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
oh yeah!. never thought of that.... tried getting a friend miles away that managed to download it to buy a cheap flash drive and ship.... but I ended up driving 45 minutes away to a us cellular store to reflash
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
You still haven't gotten that to download? Seriously? I can mirror it with torrenting so that way you can download it. Or you could just try downloading it via a different computer and stable internet.
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
I got phone fixed by driving to a us cellular store.... but no. nvr could get it. right now I have my phone as internet access. I would say u could dropbox it then maybe I could manage to download it
[Motorola Photon 4G] zikario507:
My friend i was trying to run bootstrap but when... My phone reboot.. Is a normal reboot :/ why?
[Motorola Photon 4G] MeanJellyBean:
Needs to be plugged in the wall when going into recovery mode. Unless its wall plugged, it will not work correctly. PC charging won't work, no charge won't work. Probably the reason it woNT work.

Some irrelevant entries

Thank you. Unless your Kindle Fire has a camera and GSM radio you might rethink the following four items, as their inclusion does not inspire confidence:

ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality 90

net.tcp.buffersize.umts=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960

net.tcp.buffersize.gprs=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960

net.tcp.buffersize.edge=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960

If you have such a device, can I have it?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] manchucka:
Here's one way to do it in an init.d script:

busybox sed -i 's|windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=.*|windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150|' /system/build.prop

busybox sed -i 's|wifi.supplicant_scan_interval = .*|wifi.supplicant_scan_interval = 300|' /system/build.prop

You might also find ease in making a .txt file with your edits ready to copy and paste into your build.prop file after a new flash. You might save yourself some hassle this way. Don't worry about doubling up on entries; the last instance of a value will override the previous instance. So, while your build.prop might have:

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=60

something.use.situation.fun=7

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=300

300 will win. Doesn't it always?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] chairshot215:
Sorry, thought "ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality 90" was the value for displaying a Jpeg and not actually taking the image. Never mind, checked a few sites and this line does pertain to displaying images and not taking them. The other 3 I usually use with my phone and always see them together when looking at other scripts so figured the worst including them all could do is that they would just not do anything. Should probably just remove them anyhow if for no other reason than to avoid sarcastic alpha smart person in the room comments like "If you have such a device, can I have it?” It's a good one though as far as those kind of comments go, gave me a laugh anyway. Still don't understand why their inclusion would be any cause for concern?

Thanks for this though, I think I see what I may have been doing wrong.

how to lower the brightness of gingerdx, even at lowest it is very high which is draining my battery.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Display -> Automatic backlight

In there you will find everything you need to tinker around with it.

And I can't imagine that "even at lowestest settings it's draining the battery" - it looks more like you have a problem with either the hardware of your phone, or a dying battery or some other configuration problem as you seem to post around that each and every ROM you try has a battery problem for you.

I am 4 days into the Dinc2 and am enjoying it so far as I am sad to say a former DX2 owner. I have worked on HTC's before and always find Synergy Rom's in the forums. I am not seeing it here like in the Dinc forum's or Evo forum's. I am curious if anyone knows if we will see something here for Synergy or no? I liked it on the Evo but it wasn't my phone so I didn't get to play with it to long. Any heads up would be great Thanx! :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
I am not sure on a synergy release mainly due to the ICS releases coming out. There a lot of devs in our community so it could spark interest.

If you are a fan of synergy I recommend any of nitsujs work. Also over on mikmik newts roms are killer.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] T3CH9ICIAN:
That is kind of what I was thinking was holding up some roms I am used to seeing I am running nitsujs TSM Sense M EXT4 5.0.1 with the 3.0 sense patch.

I am far from new to modding but I don't want to run right to the ICS builds just yet I want to explore all the Roms for the Dinc2. I also know I like MikMik Roms as well. Coming of the fascinate and DX2 CyanogenMod builds it's kind of fun to have more build and rom diversity to flash away like an addict haha. :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
Completely agree. I started with the nexus one. (More than enough Rom variations lol). To the Sony X10 with very few different rom choices. To the Inc2 where we have everything from stock to cm9 and sense 4.

Check out mikrunny, inchd 1.1 (mikmik), nits trinity (full sense 3.0), nits bullet mt4g port, and of course your aosp.

A lot of people run skyraider (teambamf) and mikrunny. Although like stated before the ICS builds are near fully functional.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unknown00:
first android phone coming from ios for the last many years

1. sms- how do i get notifications? i don't want that little icon on the top taskbar, i want a popup like the iphone so i will immediately know. i don't even get a notification in the lockscreen which i want. also quick reply somehow? same as missed calls, i want a big notification popup

2. contact/sms page- how do i get rid of the picture profile squares? it makes each line so "thick" and takes up too much room

3. quick way to put it to silent/vibrate only mode like iphone?

4. how do you actually exit an app? it seems like when i press any of the softkeys on the bottom (home or back) it just minimizes it and still has it running in the background

5. if i reflash rom, will i lose all my apps and settings? which rom do you suggest?

6. what are the advantages of giving me root access? examples or what i can do?

7. one big feature of iphone ios 5 is group sms, can android group sms with iphone users?

8. must have apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
1. For SMS popup thing, you can go and download another messaging application like GoSMS from the market and set it's settings.

2. That can't happen, download GoContacts from the market?

3. Hold the volume down button or set a volume toggle on the homescreen o.O

4. Click on multitasking, swipe left or right to close an application.

5. Yes, you will. You can backup all your apps and system data through Titanium Backup from the market, google how to do that. I recommend AOKP.

6. Better speed, stability, customizations etc.

7. No, just download whatsapp :p

8. Don't know what you'll like :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kg4zxk:
Are you sure you wanted to leave iPhone? There are apps out there to do what you are asking for with pop ups, etc.... there are also SMS apps you can install to replace the standard one. Hands cent comes to mind for that.

To quickly go to vibrate press and hold power button. A window will open with the option for vibrate, airplane mode and power off options....

Hope this helps some what. I've had an iPhone 3G and 4. I came to Android for the freedom of not being locked into Steve Jobs view of how I should use my phone. I don't miss it. Give it time and you should see the same thing.

if ur that new to android... i dont think u should start flashing roms right now!!

read more, do more research cuz i dont want u to start another thread by telling us u brick ur phone.. wont start up.. those kinda things
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kg4zxk:
Oh... forgot. Android is a true multitasking system. Apps will run in background. I have heard if you press the back button instead of home to exit an app it will stop it. Don't know if that is true. Usually the os takes care of the processes for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Learn to use your phone and become adjusted to the Android eco-system before you start talking about rooting.

Also, use GoSMS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unknown00:
thank you for your reply

as for #3, is there another way to exit without going to that screen and swipe 1 by 1? because just now as i'm learning about my phone and opening up a bunch of stuff, i go to my multitask screen and have like 10 things i want to swipe and it's kinda annoying to do it 1 by 1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] king23adrianc:
u call swiping 1 by 1 annoying?? u press multitask button once.. and u ready to swipe already..

from what i see, i think u used iphone before... and when u want to close apps, u have to double click home button... then hold down 1 icon.. then press X

i see how u define annoying now...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ruxin:
As I believe someone above said, there is no real reason to "kill" apps, or close them down completely.

My understanding is that apps are kept in a suspended state in the background after you back out of them, or hit the home button. They don't really chew any battery or resources, but by keeping them in the RAM the app opens faster the next time you need it, or remembers what you were doing/where you were within the app.

If the phone needs to free up that space for an active app, or services that you are using, then it will close it fully/remove it from RAM to make space and keep the phone running smoothly.

Again, this is my understanding... and if I'm wrong I'm happy to stand corrected by more knowledgeable users.

As for a previous question about what "must have apps", I am a fan of Light Flow (which you can get in a free version) for customising the notification LED.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modidlee:
You're looking at Android from an iOS users perspective. Don't even worry about closing apps. Android is set up to know when to end processes/close apps. Even if you do completely close an app it'll just take longer to start that app when you need it again. Let the OS handle that stuff.

i don't think i'll flash to custom rom until 4.0.5 so i'll have enough time to play with it. more questions

1. speaking of roms, i see 4.0.4 is coming out. i go to settings and try to update but it says non available? is there a quick seamless way to upgrade? also, if i upgrade to stock 4.0.4 will i lose all apps?

2. how do i get notifications to appear on the lock screen? i hate how the lockscreen just has the time and doesn't show anything else (except that tiny thin taskbar line on top)

3. i want to be able to delete/mark as read/etc emails without actually going into a native app? for example, from that taskbar notification dropdown or preferably from the lockscreen, is there a way to delete an email?

4. when i get a notification or any kind, all i get is a ring and vibrate. i want the screen to turn on and have the notification show (kinda like #2, a popup on lockscreen of what the notification is)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FtBastrd2:
It appears that you want your android phone to be an iPhone. That is something that it will never be. They are two completely different eco systems and are capable of completely different things.

1. Updates are not available for every phone at the same time. Google/Android/Carriers do have an annoying habit of releasing updates to certain phones in certain area's/countries at different times. You will eventually get the notification that an update is ready. Just be patient. With Android, you need to be patient.

2. Personally, i am not sure there is a fluid way to make this happen, however i am sure someone can correct me. There lock screen replacement apps like WidgetLocker but i dont know if they enable large notifications.

3. again, as far as i am aware, there is no way to mark as read or delete an email without actually going into the native application. When the notification comes through you can dismiss it by swiping left or right (like you do in the multi-tasking section) but you will still have to enter the native app to delete or reply.

4. Try SMS pop up, but again, this is not and iPhone...

I saw earlier you asked about Rooting etc... TREAD CAREFULLY. This can be dangerous if you dont understand the terminology and as you have been in such a closed system that is iOS, learn more about Android before going down this road. When you are ready I would keep an eye on the following sites...

i) Androidpolice.com

ii) galaxynexusroot.com (great tutorials and videos)

iii) galaxynexusforum.com (only about the gnex)

Hope this helps

another quick question - everyone talks about oh if you root if you flash and mess up you will get in trouble etc etc, can't you just "reflash" to stock if you screw something up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Nexus Project:
Nope, if you brick your phone it won't even boot. How would you "re flash" if you can't get into recovery. You're really trying to run before crawling. Slow it down, read & research you'll be happier at the end of the day.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Install handcent and use it, it has a pop up notification anywhere when you get a text. And it has better options too, and has identical iPhone theme and look. Disable the stock SMS app in its settings.

Use volume down to quickly turn on silent. Better option is to use a dedicated widget from the market. A custom rom has better options though enabled just by holding the power button.

To exit apps you leave it with back button. This let's the os claim that process for free ram. Home button backgrounds an app to multitask. So always leave an app with back button when you're done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
2. In the lock screen, you can swipe down the notification bar to see the notifications you have.

3. I don't think there is any way to do that. I think it's a security measure on Google's part so other apps can't "hijack" your email management.

4. Not a direct solution but I would recommend getting the app Light Flow. This lets you customise the LED to light up different colours depending on which type of notification you have. You don't even need to turn the screen on in that case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
You can always go back to stock. Its very difficult to permanently brick a nexus. Its pretty safe as long as you follow directions.

Edit: and for notifications this phone has a colored led light. You can set each notification to different color. Green I have new Google voice, blue I have new text, white is new Gmail, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Insidious:
You're pretty much spot on with that. Unused RAM is wasted RAM. The Galaxy Nexus has a whopping gig a RAM, so the next time you'll need to physically close apps will probably be 2 or 3 years from now. Plus, Android's memory management is much better than iOS'.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Also, for multitasking, just install system panel. Any app you see labeled "cached" is frozen and ready to be opened should you go back to that app. Cached apps are doing nothing, so you don't have to kill them. Just leave them be. You really don't have to kill anything ever. I never do and things work great.
