How to remove Aroma Installer ???? :)

[Desire General] nickolasemp:
Hello everyone, I have been using Oxygen for the past year and I have to say I am very pleased with the ROM as everything works flawlessly. The speed, the features and the responsiveness have amazed me. i simply don;t want another phone or ROM.

Now, I have only one issue during a call. I started using conference calls, and while I can add someone to the discussion, I cannot change from one to another as I used to with HTC's phone dialer. There is no such thing as switching from one to another or simply rejecting one that is on hold. Both features have helped me very much in the past and I want to use them again.

Another thing is that you cannot add birthdays on contacts.

Does anyone have any ideas or even an apk file so as to change phone.apk? Isn;t it that the default apk that handles those things?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ronju Khan:
Hi,

My phone is HTC HD2 and using MIUI.us rom version MIUI.us_leo_2.4.13_En.

Lately actually since 3 days back I cannot go to recovery mode to update ROM from zip file on SD card. When I go to MAGLDR and then to AD Recovery and then press send button to go to recovery mode, I get response: Error Error: Can not read ramd isk image. I am using MAGLDR v1.13 and partition is 150MB.

Can anyone help me what is the problem that it is not letting me go to the recovery mode???

Please email me if you have the solution at ronju.khan@gmail.com as I am afraid that I wont be able to find my this post as this site is too complected for me.

I will be ever grateful if anyone can help me on this.

Many thanks.

If you can't be bothered TO FIND YOUR OWN POST, I'm sorry but I, myself, am not willing to help.

But if you do come back, here is my reply:

You tried to do something using ROM Manager (or a similar app), and since MAGLDR doesn't support such features, it breaks your CWMR & you'll have to reflash it.

A similar issue here, with a fix as well : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1337663

Reply to Nigeldg

Dear Nigeldg, Sorry I could not find the statistics tab in the top right corner of the page. However, I have solved the problem by re installing the 150MB partition again. This solved the problem and now AD RECOVERY is working fine. I used Titanium backup to restore my original settings. Many thanks for your response.

Reply to Marvlesz

Dear Marvlesz,

You are the person who detected what went wrong with my phone. Yes, I did use ROM Manager and downloaded a rom to install and thus my AD Recovery stopped to work. But the link you gave and what it says is too complected for me. So what I did is to re-install the 150MB partition again by using DFT and now it is working fine. My AD Recovery is working fine. I used titanium backup to restore my original settings.

Many thanks for your kind suggestion.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
So you did come back, how did you find your thread?! :D

In fact, you did what the link had said, except in a different way.

The solution is to reflash CWMR. But if you reflashed it with DAF.exe, it will remove your ROM. Whereas doing it from the "AD SD" (the link I provided) is only going to fix CWMR while keeping your ROM intact and untouched.

(Thanks to samsamuel)

Hello guys,

I just bought a Tablet from Vinus - MID-08ii. It has Samsungs CPU " ARM cortex a8 1G", and it has Android 2.3. I would like to install Cyanogen Mod or Android 3+.

Can anyone help me, because there is no android for this tablet. But I think that since it has Samsung CPU, it would be possible install custom ROM.

Any ideas?

Just bought an ace not long ago, I have a friend who knows how to mod the phone but mine is an ace s5830i and his phone is the previous one. So here are my question.

1 - Difference between flash and root

2 - After doing modifications on the phone, ( root/ flash ), let's say if theres something wrong with my phone, can I claim the warranty?

3 - After flash/root, will my data on apps and games will be wiped?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] mdfzhi:
1- http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Jargon_list

2- yes. reflash stock rom with odin to erase all trace of modification.

3- after rooting, no. after flashing, yes.

this thing is definitely not possible as its having custom binary counter which haven't been cracked till now

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravons:
So yeah, I have been noticing that my Desire running on the latest MildWild software (and Cyanogenmod 7.2) for that matter has been trouble keeping it's connection constant on Whatsapp.

Basically, it stops 'reporting' when it comes to 'last seen'. Sometimes I have to turn off Wifi (It is mostly on Wifi, can't recall it being the same story on 3G but I think so too) to fix the connection. Other times it just reconnects after a minute.

This happens when the screen is turned off and back on.

It's getting a kind of annoying and I have no idea where to look. I've checked my modem and router and both are fine.

Anyone else with this problem? Any ideas how I can fix this? Also, Wifi Sleep Policy has been set to 'Never'. :confused:

[Android General] shohid1234:
Hey guys, I know hussainmicromaxa60 has recently posted a battery saving tip post, (copied from cnets post) but really what cnet said isnt of much use. i.e switching off GPS doesnt save battery as android only uses it when it needs to, the rest of the time its off anyway. So I thought I post a youtube video here with the tips I have found actually useful:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUAlbkvlVQ8&feature=youtu.be

The tips are to use programs like cpu spy and betterbatterystats, to find and stop partial wakelocks,

switch to 2g when you are near wifi

Use an app like screen filter when indoors or and at night

And finally check sync intervals for apps and change them to a longer time period.

Let me know what you guys things of the video.
[Android General] Jimmy4485:
best battery life

I have read the new forums that wipe battery stats would extend battery life. I have tried that repeatedly yet I'm not so sure that he does. The jury is still out on this. Perhaps someone that knows better can advice.

I have also read in some forum and I think this comes from T-Mobile, that wiping battery stats does not actually extend battery life.

The only certain thing is that if you want better battery life you must buy a better/bigger battery.
[Android General] MidnightDevil:
Well, I'm sure some applications can really help your battery (Juice Defender, Green Energy, etc..), however, I gave up all that and I'm using common sense (not a market app).

So, only use wifi when needed, wifi drains battery really fast. Same goes for the use of 3g. Sometimes it's like a taximeter when you turn it on.

Brightness, it does spend battery, keep your screen confortably visible but not on max brightness. Don't know how far "self adjust" works for everyone, but CM7 allows you to personalize the self ajudsting methoods more to your needs.

Voice calls don't spend much battery, what does spend is apps, games (specially the ones with nice graphics and stuff), network, and so on.

I don't listen to music on my phone so... I'm not sure how much battery it takes to use it as a mp3 player, however I have an iPod for that, so I avoid listen to mp3 on my phone.

GPS... hardly use it... only when needed.

So, for all the "extras", only when needed seems to to do the job.

Also, disable "vibrate" when you don't need to. Like, cm7 vibrates on some awkward ocasions, like when you pick up a call, hang up, etc... if you don't need it, disable.

It's really personalizing your rom options to the point where you don't need additional features just for the sake of having them turned on.

Use your phone and features on a "when needed" basis and your battery life will be be longer.

Also, widgets, they do use battery, and sometimes, more than needed. The ones that use Internet (wifi or 3g) use more battery. Facebook, twitter, etc...

One more thing, about the CPU governors this time. I usually keep mine on a on-demand. When it runs low (under 20%), it switches to "conservative". It does get sluggish, but you get a few extra hours out of it. It's usefull for emergency voice calls.

Try to "underclock it" when not using (screen off, charging, etc..) and use overclock if you're really sure you need to. Most of the times the max allowed cpu without overclocking is more than enough, unless you're a performance maniac and need the best of the best performance out of it, there's really no need to overclock it.

If you play a lot with your phone (like me), at least keep a usb cable or a charger with you.

Hope it helps :)

PS - Some apps allows you to customize the way your phone spends battery. I find Juice Defender really cool for that. Spend about 20 minutes tweaking it for your needs, and the next couple of days with final adjustments and you'll notice improvements.

wiping battery stats will not improve battery life.

screen brightness is the major reason for battery drain. so keep the brightness as low as possible:)
[Android General] shohid1234:
Things like juice defender ect can be helpful i guess but i have never seen much of an improvement, in terms of wiping battery stats, all it really does it to allow android to read with better accuracy the amount of juice you have left, so it does not increase battery life at all.

Things like cpu governers etc is quite advanced, and I dont know really much about it, but as long as you keep under control misbehaving apps, switch to 2G when needed and dont have apps checking every 15 minutes for new data, you can get through a full day, no problems.

Also, keeping your battery in good condition always helps. First few charges, charge overnight, first week or two never let it go below 50% charge, and keep total discharges to an absolute minimum, and you should have a battery that wont degrade too quickly.

Not yet.

Antivirus is not needed if download apps only from Market. If outside Play Store, then you might get some bug in your phone indeed.

Android viruses are not popular enough yet.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
Some info on the matter.

You only "need" an antivirus on rooted devices. If you havent rooted your device, then you shouldn't have an issue, since every possible virus out there needs root privileges in order to do some damage to your phone.

Since android is build based on linux, there are basically very few viruses out there. But as always, a little caution in what you install never hurt anyone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] LuisDias:
Yes, it's useful...

1 - If you use your phone as an mass storage device, some virus from Windows can infect your sd card...

2 - if you lose your phone, most of the antivirus can help you to find the phone, and lock the device so others can't use them..

3 - if you download apps from "black market" or visit porn on your phone, ( yeah, I do that sometimes too..) it can protect your phone from malicious apps and others threads..

As long as you don't install apps from untrustworthy sources you should be fine.

In any case, Avast seems to be pretty decent when compared to the other alternatives. Read about it in Android AV reviews somewhere. The firewall function is pretty sweet too to let some apps connect through WiFi only or not at all.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nit3wolf:
Gandhar said what had to be said. I am using a Mcaffe antivírus my Carrier gave me with a free full 1 Year license. The GPS tracking, wipe and block functions in case of a lost or theft phones are sweet. And if you are not rooted, no need for an av.

Windows viruses inside SD? Yeah, true. But than you can blame the Windows user who didn't has a decent av software to block it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] LuisDias:
I know that, that's why.. I don't want to infeact my pc, 'cause I don't have Internet connection to update the antivirus..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BlackArtsInc:
Windows viruses can only affect other PCs when mounting your SD card.In Android they re irrelevant.

I did install Avast last night and found out that a Flashlight app that needed GPS permissions (!).

Other than that,I also liked the Anti-Theft protection which by the way you can keep even if you uninstall the virus scanner.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SubyWill:
Okay, I was on AOKP M4 and I wanted to upgrade to M5.

So I backup everything and make a backup of my ROM. I wipe the phone and caches and flash M5 with the GAPPS, with the latest CWM touch recovery. When my phone reboots I notice I have the same wallpaper as before and when I unlock my phone my pin is still requested and all of my apps and settings stayed exactly the same. I was never asked to sign into my Google account and the start up/set up screen never came up. I checked to see if I even updated and yes I was on M5. Now the ROM isn't very fast or smooth and I get a lot of force closes and things not working properly.

I tried the whole process again with the CWM non-touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and all my apps and setting remained exactly the same.

I tried it again with the TWRP touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and everything was the same and my phone remains kind of slow and I'm getting a lot of force closes.

Why is my phone not fully wiping? What can I do to fix this?

I would really appreciate some help!
