FYI on the A1_BootSD.iso

Just an FYI for anyone going through this experience.

If you realize that your bootable SD card gets re-sized to a smaller disk size of approximately ~65 MB when you create the bootable SD using WinDiskImager, you will also realize that you cannot load any ROMs/recoveries etc. as update.zip.

To work around this:

1. Format your microSD card as a single FAT32 partition.

2. Extract the contents of the ISO.

3. Copy and paste the contents (MLO, uImage,u-boot.bin and recovery.img) to the SD card.

4. Copy your ROM/recovery file as update.zip.

5. "recovery.img" is CWM 5.0.2.7, therefore, just reboot the tablet into recovery (Power button + Vol down button till you see the lenovo logo for 3-4 seconds)

AFTER

you put this external SD card into the tablet, so that you can use this CWM via the external SD card.

I've done this repeatedly with success, so I'm assuming you don't really need to create the bootable disk with WinDiskImager.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nccruz:
isn't this the same as what the app does in post 147?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mu3g:
Good point, nccruz. However, I couldn't work out the settings for Unetbootin. Any idea what the settings are to burn the ISO?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nccruz:
formatted my sdcard to fat32.....

just clicked on diskimage, browsed for the iso file, then saw my card, then ok.....

I installed Slimdroid 4 and after the reboot the screen shows "Android is upgrading"...

Then I went to System Updates, I still find the upgrade but it says again: sdcard not found!

I cannot install any Stock GB ROM because when the Lenovo boots and it shows the Android robot asking to touch it, the screen is non responsive :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dawkon13:

BTW Youtube app was updated to 4.0.8E and sound works properly. Norton Security and Cut the Rope are missing from previous versions.

Are there ANY ICS ROMs that allow you to successfully update your PRL and Sprint Profile???

I am on CM9, and my phone is not handling SMS' well... I don't want a solution for that...

Is there a ROM that I can do this with or is there a way to get back to Gingerbread without a computer?

I have no computer access now, and I desperately need to update my PRL...

Please help!

I have Windows 7 Installed on my HTC Shift and the only thing that's not working are the 2 buttons above the mouse pad on the Shift.

How do I make the resolution changer button work in Windows 7 and how do I make the Control Center button work?

If anyone has the solution, please post below! =D
[Shift General] Ishman:
You need to install the button drivers before the touchpad for it to work properly.

You should be able to find the drivers in the forum.
[HTC One X] mickliq:
I've been using Alarm Clock Plus on various devices for sometime. There are other similar apps out there. I use it for two things - as a desk clock at night (to show the time in big numbers) and an alarm. Obviously the H1X has a built in alarm app so don't really "need" it for that.

On the H1X, for some reason, the capacitive "hardware" keys (back, home, app switcher) stay "lit" when the device is plugged in at night. My SII didn't do this (it had the same type of capacitive keys). It's very annoying and defeats the purpose - the clock is very dim but the keys are very bright.

I've noticed that some (3rd party) apps keep the keys lit when they are running (eg MX Player) whereas some of the first party apps don't (watching video using the Gallary app).

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a desk clock / alarm clock that specifically doesn't keep the capacitive keys lit when charging? I've tried a few others and it seems they all have the same issue/behaviour.

[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
Sounds like you need to re-flash or restore a good working backup and try again.

Also, when posting try to use some punctuation and more detail. Makes it much easier for peeps to help with problems. ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] valohaggard16:

[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
Sounds like it. CM9 (depending on version) is very stable and has loads of support.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
another thing you may want to consider is use of a 1.3 kernel instead of 1.4. Nit all photons agree with a 1.4 kernel.

[Motorola Photon 4G] OrAmerika:
i got kitchen sink to boot but it had loads of bugs and fc's i tried 3 different (aokp, miui and gummy) gummy didn't work for me at all and got stuck at the moto boot logo, i suggest you simply flash aokp without kitchen sink and there probably won't be any problems. kitchen sink is a new idea so of course there will be bugs but to make this work we need to test.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
Did you try to reboot into CWM and fix permissions, too? I run CNA via KS 2.0.1, it was a little quirky for the first couple days but got better. Still running it now.....

My MoPho's in the kitchen sink!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] bloodhound_:
I believe that the random reboots are due to the settings you have chosen for the installed ROM. Try to install CM9 in the default configuration. I tried kitchen sink ROM yesterday and used it to set up several ROMs to test - each went through just perfect. Remember that Android 4 ROMs may be unstable, e.g. camera issue in all of the ROMs.

I also had issues with slow playback of videos, previously shot with the phone. Both MIUI and CM9 has failed to smoothly playback 720p video, shot with Photon. The video was all sluggish, but the audio was fine.

You may also try to find some pattern why phone is rebooting. It might only look like it is random...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
I'm the kind of android user that always uses one home screen, I don't see any need for more. What I have found is that any wallpapers I set automatically crop their selves to fit the screen as if I would be scrolling left or right to view the full image. I'd like to find a way to make a wallpaper actually fill the entire single home screen rather than expand as if I have multiple home screens. Is their a particular resolution that it needs to be? Or any apps that would do this. Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ourtut:
I'm pretty sure the best walpapers app has that option if it is not in the from or launcher itself.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Just checked, it doesn't. And no launcher to my knowledge will do this, and I've tried many.

[Motorola Photon 4G] mrmellies:
Regina launcher has the ability to use different pictures on each home screen. Really neat option to have. You must also download regjna gallery. But i had 5 home screeja with all different pics of my daughter. It was my daily launcher until i switched to tsf shell.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Try GO Launcher EX, it's among the best of the LauncherPro-alikes and it actually does this. So do most launchers, actually... but specific to GO, which is what I use and can verify right now:

Menu > Preferences > Visual > Backgrounds > Wallpaper mode. Choose Vertical Screen mode. Now when you go to set a picture as wallpaper, it will want to crop to 9:16 (16:9 vertical).

For the Photon/Electrify, the screen resolution is 540x960. Crop to this if you are using something like XnView to prepare the picture on the PC. Or larger but with a 16:9 aspect ratio (or 1.78 if it's noted like that) and it will scale down. Better to scale down (squeeze) than scale up (stretch).

Whatever you are using to pick the wallpaper (Android wallpaper picker, stock gallery, gallery replacement (e.g. QuickPic), etc.) will choose the aspect ratio. If you have it set in vertical wallpaper mode, as noted above, it will crop as such. If it's doing the horizontal thing, you'll want to double the horizontal value (540, in our case) so 1080x960. That's only if you want horizontal mode, which is what you say you're stuck with.

If you truly feel that you cannot get into vertical mode, simply create a 1080x960 canvas and drop a 540x960 right in the middle, taking care to ensure 270 pixels exactly on either side. Leave the sides black or color them however you wish, and place this as your wallpaper. If you've done it right, you will only ever see the middle.

I actually made this for my self . Its not finished yet. This is my first time doing this kind of thing.

Works with T989 uvlc8: Flash in clockwork , wipe cache and fix permission also to be on the safe side.

A couple things....the circle at the bottom of the pull down is distorted like that because you did not modify the. .9 image correctly. Next, the orange on the dialer are pngs in the contacts apk. And the time and other font colors are coded in the xmls. The clock is in the systemui.apk. find a color code that you want. Decompile apk.... colors> values. Replace color codes

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] russianDroid:

..really dude??? .. first of where do u see this circle bee in distorted???its looks just how it suppose to
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ptmr3:
Dude that was from before the theme was out and the op was asking questions about where to find and how to change things like the clock color, and dialer buttons. The pull down was distorted and I mentioned it because I did it when I was first learning. I see where out of context that comment could look rude an out of line, but it really was just answering some questions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rancidm:
updated again. still a bit of blue but i need help . i need the clock color changed in status bar and pull down circle for status bar. anybody can help with that ?

havent decided on the color of the clock on the status bar, either purple or the pink ..not sure what looks better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ptmr3:
To do the pull down circle, just decompile the apk. Open with paint.net. use selector square to only modify the circle itself.

Then while decompiled go into the values> colors.XML and replace the color code for the clock with whichever hex code you want for the clock. ( color code picker website will do the trick)

After done with those steps, recompile. Answer the prompted questions yes and yes. Go to "keep" folder and delete resources file and the modified .9 image. Go back to apk manager and push enter. Boom done... and you can bow modify .9s and XML. Now the real fun starts
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rancidm:
i cant find the xml that has th clock setting either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ptmr3:
You're right I'm sorry, it is in the framework-res.apk. values>colors.XML> status bar clock text
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phoenix6:
The clock color code is in systemUI.apk

Res/values/styles.XML

Couple lines down looks like text appearance.statusbarclock. something something.

You edit the hex within that string to #ffXXXXXX the X's being the hex color code.

Not at a computer can't get the exact line name but its obvious when you're in there.

Theme looks good, don't give up on it.

[Windows Phone 7 General] 64GUNSHIP:
Does the ring/lock/erase function of Find My Phone at windowsphone.com work for anyone? It has no issue mapping my phone, but if I attempt to ring it or anything else, it doesn't work. I'm in Canada. Does it depend on how much service you have? I've only ever really tried it in 1/2 bar areas.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sermann:
Used the "ring" function once and it worked perfectly. Samsung Omnia 7 on SingTel in Singapore.
[Windows Phone 7 General] randomlightspeed:
The ring/lock function uses text messaging to send commands and from what i understand, you can only send 4-5 such commands per month/(some timeframe). Try re-installing apps from the web marketplace and it tells you that it failed to send it to the phone after a few apps.

The workaround for that, which is not enabled by default, is to go to

settings> find my phone > and check 'connect to these features faster'

this then uses regular 'push' settings to send commands to your phone and are not restricted such as the text message commands are.

Try to turn this feature on, wait a few minutes and try it again.

[HTC One X] omar302:
Android does not natively support it. But Samsung Androids do have it, so it is possible. Was hoping that HTC would follow, unfortunantly there doesn't seem to be a lot of demand for it.

There are already several issues with google to enable it like this one.

This article best explains the difference between the types of 3G Video Call.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Cos that's the Google Talk app, which by default just happens to come installed.. It's not something built into the OS, and you can only call people who have the app installed as well. Native video calling would mean toe ability to video call anyone whose phone supports it, regardless of OS.
[HTC One X] electric0ant:
I believe UK was one of the first to have video calling back in 2004/2005 (in your face steve jobs, facetime over wifi in 2010 on a phone is not revolutionary!)

anyway, yes there is a difference between video calling on the network and video chatting using an app over the data connection.

I think the main reason for dropping video calling is the lack use by the consumers, here in the video calling minutes have been dropped from monthly tariffs now, i'm guessing due to the lack of supported devices and also the lack of use, most consumers seem to be more interested in the data services side which is much more useful.

Does anyone else have this problem?

When I first tried installing a custom ROM everything appeared to be okay. My Network provider was recognised and appeared on screen but my mobile number did not appear in Settings>About Phone. Also my contacts did not appear in the Phone book or messages app. if I recall it was a cyanogenmod kernel based ROM.

Eventually I settled for Android Revolution HD 6.3.1 by Mike 1986 and it has worked flawlessly for the past couple of months.

Today I tried to flash BlindIce v5.4 which has a CM9 kernel and the same thing happens. The ROM and G-Apps install okay, my Network Provider appears on screen, but my mobile number doesn't appear in Settings>About Phone and the phone does not find my contacts on the SIM card.

I have yet again returned to Android Revolution HD 6.3.1 as it appear to be the only fully functional custom ROM that I have found.

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
not a helpful comment, but you should move your contacts from your SIM to a google account, that way they're sync'd automatically every time you wipe your phone.

It does take a couple of hours to ensure that you input them into a Google account correctly but its worth the effort.

SIM cards are so last century!
