Well imho I think you might want to, I like unnamed too but it's based off of EL13 which is a leak or was a leak, EL29 is better due to bug fixes etc.. If you do update try blazer 4.1 it's an awesome rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Do you feel like you should update... lets be honest EL29 has been out for quite some time now and if YOU really wanted to update you had ample time too. Also are the bug fixes mentioned above something that's a bug for you or is it you just want the latest and greatest.

If it ain't broke.........
[HTC One X] black beard:
Hi, Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere in the forums, but my query relates to finding a decent 3rd party launcher app which works well with the HTC One X.

I've experienced a few instances of lag with Sense and wanted to explore other options. Have briefly tried both Go Launcher EX and ADWLauncherEX (my two "go to" launchers in the past) and have been disappointed by the fact that I can't seem to disable the "3 dot" button which takes up the bottom row of the screen.

I understand there is a "hack" for re-mapping the software 3-dot button to one of the hardware keys which requires root, but I'm unwilling to root my handset at this early stage.

Has anyone found a way to disable the 3-dot menu button in either Go or ADW launchers (it's certainly not needed because you can configure a "gesture" to bring up the settings menu), or any other decent launcher which supports disabling of the 3-dot button??

Or are my only options at this stage to "root" or put up with Sense?
[HTC One X] wardh:
Apex launcher works good and w/o the dots.
[HTC One X] black beard:
Thanks for the heads up on Apex launcher. Have downloaded and am using it now. Will also try Nova launcher which I understand is also designed for ICS devices.

Hey everyone. Just wondering if someone has or is able to create a sense 4.0 themed dialer for sense 3.6 . Cheers :)
[HTC Sensation] renehd2:
I would like to have this aswell

Me to!

me 2!
[HTC Sensation] lifeisfaked:
what would happen if you took the Dialer.apk from a Sense 4 rom? Would that work?
[HTC Sensation] dancingtortoise:
It would probably stop working. I'll try and move some .pngs around tonight when I get off work. What's the most important part of sense 4.0 dialer you want in 3.6? Just the #s?

ok. i took a look at it and i see a problem, dialer numbers on 4.0 are white, dialer numbers on 3.6 are black, this will make it hard to see. i have no clue how to change the number colors. ill keep trying tho.

[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
I'll have a play arround with this tonight when I start work! I think the colours are in res\color\dialer_button_text.xml

<selector

<item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#ff000000" />

<item android:state_focused="true" android:color="#ff000000" />

<item android:color="#ffffffff" /> - Think this is the one needed changed as this is black

</selector>

There may be a few other colours need changed as well, then there is a couple of png files in the drawable-hdpi folder that need changed as well! I'll have a look and see what I can come up with.
[HTC Sensation] dancingtortoise:
it also looks like sense 4 uses 9.png files unlike sense 3.6 that uses regular .png files.
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
Sorry been playing arround with this tonight but not getting anyware. Just cant find the right xml files to change. The PNG files are really easy to change did that in a few minutes and flashed but the numbers just dont look right :(

[Droid 2 General] xiton:
Hello all,

So I have in my hands a Droid 2 on VZW which is currently not working. All I know is this:

It was rooted when my friend bought it. He received a notification for an update sometime today, installed it, and now it seems to only boot to the bootloader.

The screen basically just says:

Bootloader

D2.37

Err:A5,70,00,00,23

Battery OK

OK to Program

Connect USB

Data Cable

So, I've never used a Motorola phone before, and I'm not sure where to start. Can anyone guide me with a little hand holding to get this thing working for him again?

Thanks all. :)
[Droid 2 General] xiton:
As an update. Read around a bit, tried clearing cache, then did a full wipe, and it still ends up at the same screen each time.
[Droid 2 General] sd_shadow:
did you try, rerunning the update, from recovery

not sure where it's stored or if it would be gone, from data wipe

if that doesn't work, take to verizon store, if that is an option

there is a fix for the, Droid 2 Global, here [How-to]unbricking downgraded 629 & root normal function OTA 629

someone I'm sure will, use the method, for fix for the D2

they will need a copy of the update
[Droid 2 General] sd_shadow:
looks like the update is saved in the cache

so if you wipe cache or data, it should be gone

so it's verizon, wait for SBF (official or repacked)

or update failed, maybe just use old SBF 2.3.20,SBF Mirror

Tutorial/Walkthrough for flashing an .sbf to Droid 2 (rooting/factory restore)

Sbf will ether work, or bootloader will change to MEM-MAP Blank error
[Droid 2 General] xiton:
Is it advisable to try the old sbf, or will that be bricking his phone permanently?

Thanks!
[Droid 2 General] sd_shadow:
sbf will brick phone, till correct sbf is found
[Droid 2 General] sd_shadow:
no SBF yet

does phone still say

Bootloader

D2.37

Err:A5,70,00,00,23

Battery OK

OK to Program

Connect USB

Data Cable

if so can you get to android recovery?

Booting into Recovery

DROID Wiki.

maybe you can install update, unlikely but worth a try, need to be able to put it on sd card, and rename update.zip

then select apply sdcard:update.zip in android recovery

maybe you'll get lucky
[Droid 2 General] sd_shadow:
safest way is to buy a $5 spare battery charger like http://www.amazon.com/MOTOROLA-Droi..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1338740850&sr=1-6

take to verizon store to charge battery,

or use the MacGyver method but I do not recommend, because you can fry your phone

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bear Knuckles:
Hello Fellow Android People,

My transformer went haywire after the ICS update. I had not been using it for awhile (a really long time). Anyway, when I turned it on to use it, it prompted for the ICS update. So, I let it update. I checked on it a few hours later and it was turned off.

I charged it and turned it on and left it alone while it was doing so. I came back to check on it only to see that the screen no longer works. I know it's on because it makes all of the alert sounds but the screen will not turn on.

Anyone else heard of this happening? Also, being that it has been less than one year, do you guys think I can get it repaired or replaced?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
The best thing to do is call Asus and ask them about an RMA. They can probably answer your question best.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssl123:
I have heard of something like that, but it is with Lenovo K1 tablets and has to do with the auto-brightness code on those tablets. Upon wakeup from sleep, the auto-brightness can leave the screen dimmed too low to be seen, so it looks like it is off or still asleep. The only thing to do is to force the tablet to turn off (by holding down the power button for about 5 seconds) and then turn it back on again. Not too bad on the K1 tablets because they boot very quickly.

For TF101, I read a post here about someone having something that might be like this. He said how it happened for him was that he maxed out the brightness setting. The screen then went out. He had to NVFlash his tablet to reset the brightness setting and get the screen working again.

Your case might be something like one of the above or could be the hardware. Could also be something else altogether. Well, hope that helped.

---------- Post added at 06:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 AM ----------

Just thought of something. If you boot up and don't see the ASUS boot logo, then it must be hardware because Android hasn't loaded yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zarpa:
Today my GSII (CM 7.2) froze up and rebooted, which has happened several times before without any problem. Except this time when it came back up, instead of taking me to the lock screen it went straight to the home screen and showed me force close messages for practically every app I own.

ex:

com.android.phone

com.android.deskclock

com.android.email

com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup

com.google.process.gapps

com.android.vending

com.google.android.youtube

com.google.android.gm

com.swype.android.inputmethod

android.process.acore

android.process.media

-those were just the ones I could see before more started popping up

Once I am able to dismiss all of them the screen goes black except for the status bar and then the screen turns off complete with the CRT transition.

It seems like all of the force closes are related to apps that create a background process when the device boots.

My problem is that i can't get the reboot menu to come up so I can't get it to boot into recovery anymore; I was able once and cleared the cache, devalik cache and battery stats but none of that helped at all, It just made the boot a little longer.

Any help would be appreciated greatly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
Hold power button + volume up + volume down at the same time - after the initial boot splash screen flashes twice it will boot you into recovery mode, just hold all three buttons down until recovery comes up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Waddle:
After you do that, try a factory reset, or data wipe. That should fix the issue...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AngelsNecropolis:
This just happened to me as well. It was working fine 6 hours before and after I woke up everything force closes even after cache/dalvik wipe and reflash of the ROM and GApps. Although I hadn't tried the factory wipe before I screwed it up even more.

Anyone know what causes these mass force closures? Can it be prevented?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juDGEY2k10:
Just installed this app

http://www.appbrain.com/app/network-booster/com.dokomon.networkbooster

Is this real or not? Personally i don't think it is but if it is why don't rom builders use this?

Thanks any input would be great :)

btw the app did make my bars go up but then went back down.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DreadPirateDan:
Short answer, no it isn't real.

Proper answer... well yeah it's real and you might briefly get 1 extra bar signal. All it does is turn on airplane mode and your connection is reset. It is illegal/breach of your terms of use to actually tamper with/change the telco settings. What you can do on your phone is one thing, actually changing stuff to do with the network like the app suggest simply does not/cannot happen. Even it it did work you'd stick out like a beacon saying hey look at me I hacked your network.

for those who don't believe me download the app, start it, then home button out of it and you will see airplane mode activated - So save yourself the the time of downloading it and just flick on/off airplane mode. :D

Nice one dude thanks for the heads up !
[HTC Sensation] DJCodeBlue:
So I just lucky enough to win the bid for a used but new conditioned HTC Sensation 4G in January for $200 on ebay. I've been using the phone ever since and just 3 weeks ago when I called T-Mobile to make some changes to my data plan, they told me I was eligible for the premium handset protection plan for about $8 month and it will cover anything that's wrong with my phone at all. I, of course, took that offer within a heart beat to protect my phone that wasn't purchased from T-Mobile at all.

About 6 days ago, my phone suddenly started overheating (stock rom/stock everything) and phone just shut off after it got so hot and it didn't even charge or anything. The phone was COMPLETELY dead. I then remembered that I had the premium protection so I called T-Mobile and they quickly processed a replacement and they gave me a HTC Sensation 4G BRAND NEW. So not only was I lucky enough to save money on a used phone bought on eBay but I technically got a brand new condition of it for the same price... $200...

My question is. How was I even eligible for the protection offer. From my understanding, you can only be eligible if you purchase the phone directly from T-Mobile and of course the previous owner probably purchased directly from T-Mobile but still, how was I eligible? Because if this is the case, then I'll just start buying broken phones off of eBay and then get a protection plan and get a free replacement in new condition...
[HTC Sensation] jmarrale:
I work for T-Mobile and we were offering php as open enrollment but it was only to be offered if you received a sms for it ..... yes your very lucky keep the plan
[HTC Sensation] the_plattypus:
I am not on Tmobile, but on Sprint. I always purchase my phones on eBay, I once purchased 2 HTC EVO 4g, one new in box, the other used. Both were eligable for sprints insurance for $8/mo. I have turned the used one in for insurance twice and subsequently sold it to a friend who also got the insurance.

I know I am not on tmo but both companies are just trying to make the extra $96/yr per person so I don't think the purchase source matters.

Just my thoughts
[HTC Sensation] DJCodeBlue:
I never got a text, it was offered to me on the phone when making data changes to my plan. So I guess I was lucky

makes sense but then again, people can abuse it and purchase broken phones or make false claims and get the replacement.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I bought my sensation on ebay as well and had the same question. The way it was explained to me by a tmo rep is that the warranty is for the sim card, so as long as you have that sim card in only 1 phone the warranty will cover it no matter what the phone is.

i made a factory cable to get my phone flashable....it worked well and flashed the fastboot files using rsd lite...that finished and phone booted up but i have no service or connectivity of any kind and i cannot charge my phone!! i get a white led that stays lit and thats all. i tried volume + - and power and it works for a few seconds then goes blank and white led comes back on can someone please help me
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Do you backed up to defaul usb cable?

Turn it off, plug regular charger and go razr default boot menu.

Sekect BP Tools. It should show moto logo and start charging. Let it go 'till fully charged.

You're almost there.

There are alternate procedure to follow in case this don't work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] r4zrm4xxx:
no good

okay so i now have red led on and battery charge screen is up so i guess we are good to go.....when i got to my homescreen with factory cable i had no connectivity and all types of stuff force closing is this normal?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
It's a fastboot menu bug. Press once both volume keys it should start moving. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] r4zrm4xxx:
hmmm

well its charging now its on 20% i hope when i boot it up i get connectivity back such as data,wifi,gps and so on.... a lot of important proccesses were dying as well but maybe this will all be corrected
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Good to hear that! If connectivity doesn't work, update ur razr and u will be fine. Now u can do that :)

Good luck :cool:

Please help... :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lmftmf:
No sorry as they are a MVNO of t-mobile they use t-mobile bands which is why your only getting edge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mobile Get straight talk. You can get 4G on your vivid with them.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] poncespr:
Simple Mobile is a MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) that uses Tmobile's network. Different frequencies for 3G/4G. You can use H2O or Straight Talk.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lmftmf:
Nice lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] poncespr:
Sorry. Guess you type faster than me :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jawad512:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] randong:
sorry what these guys are saying is correct ...i know for a fact that st8 talk has 4g and its pretty damn good for what it is...

mv networks are highly throttled and you wont get umts service from them cuz thats tmobiles "4g"
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lmftmf:
I beg to differ about the throttiling part. I use straight talk in an old phone for usb tethering and get about a good 900 kB to 1MB on straight talk.

Edit: I was mistaken i met gophone but i think thats still considered and MVNO
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jawad512:
So you guys r saying that this problem has nothing to do with s-on s-off?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lmftmf:
Not at all lol its the modem that's in the device. Think of you trying to speak English to a completely Japanese speaking person. Same concept you cant fix that with any type of software.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] poncespr:
I think you are right. I don't thing ST throttles their data. I am on Straight Talk here in Puerto Rico and I get 7mb down/1mb up. And this is on the pseudo 4G, not LTE. LTE is available in Puerto Rico but in the major cities, not where I live. They have, however, stopped my internet service once, after I did a few downloads and some streaming from pandora on a single day. I know I did not go over 2GB total (3G Watchdog), but I did go over 400MB on a single day. Had to call c/s and listen to a speech about how my data was unlimited but actually not, for about 20 mins to get service back. After that I have kept it under 100MB per day and no problems.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] randong:
i dont know how old that phone is but my brother in law has a vivid with st8talk and he in fact gets 4g on it..the go phones sims are made for cheap old phones that are 2g i think..at least thats the way it is here in dallas you cant find a "smartphone" with the go phone line up.. there always the cheapest phones but you can make it work in a smartphone but you will be stuck on the 2g network...str8talk on the other hand has smartphones in their line up...but they are both mvno networks cause thats what you have to put in the apn but att knows what network your using and their not going to let you get the best of them lol with their go phone plan.. str8talk has to "buy" their usage and they offer a better throttle if any
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lmftmf:
You have to "dummy" the system to use the vivid but it works you get 4g just no LTE and theres no throttle. I get the same speeds as my post paid account.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] randong:
and thats on go phone?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lmftmf:
Yea, its a rip they only give you 500 MB of data for 25$ which on post paid I believe you get 3 GB for the same price. You just have to use the WAP apn and not the PTA apn
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kitathomas:
"Dummy" the system?

How do you "dummy" the system to use the vivid on simple mobile 4g speeds. Here's my dilemma, I have tested the 2 StraightTalk sims, AT&T & T-Mobile on the Vivid and the 4g was way faster on T-mobile sim vs At&t sim. The ST AT&T sim didn't get over 1 mb per second in speed test, whereas the ST TMO sim was much faster almost 2 mb, but a T-mobile phone on either ST TMO or Simple Mobile was faster speeds 5mb or better, so I got rid of the phone and got a HTC sensation. But of course this is a downgrade, I'm definitely going to have to get a better phone soon. I like the AT&T phones better than TMO, but want to get 4g speeds on a AT&T phone using ST TMO sim. So I was curious as if "dummy" the system or different apn settings will allow a AT&T phone pickup ST TMO 4g speeds.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
He was referring to Att go phone plan...

For the most part it isn't APN settings that decide what you connect to (although for late you do need a PTA APN...) its mainly hardware/very deep software that controls it...it all depends on the frequencies of service the phone can except and what the service provider (t-mo...etc) broadcast their service in...

I was always under the impression that it was strictly determined by hardware what the phone accepts...but a few months ago I read a thread here where I guy explained that it is controlled by very deep software and with the right knowledge you can change it to your needs...he claims to have done it on many phones...but it takes a ton of work and he only did it for devices he owned as he didn't feel it was worth it to do it for devices he did not own...and teaching someone was out of the question as it was too complex to teach...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XxSHaDoWxSLaYeRxX:
i believe that you can reprogram the modem. like on the skyrocket they can get 4g on tmobile because someone reprogramed thier modem. and there was some talk of trying to do this on the vivid somewhere on these forums lol.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kitathomas:
Straight Talk sim

I think for now, I will just have to stick with T-mobile phone with T-Mobile sim on straight talk, getting some 4g speeds for just $45, only people beating that deal is Metro, and they still have spotty areas. I just think that AT&T has better phones. But I thought about this the other day, with if the fact that the Vivid is a LTE phone vs just regular HSPA+ like my Htc Sensation. Is it possible that the Vivid, HSPA+ doesn't get as fast as speeds on T-Mobile HSPA+ network? I don't know but from what a lot of people are saying the Straight talk At&t 4g coverage is terrible.
