[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jappert:
OK, i'm in a good mood today so I'll make you this newbie guide:

first of all: rooting has no effect whatsoever on signal loss, so this must be caused by something else

2nd: uninstall noLed. It will always keep your screen on and keep your phone out of deep sleep which means: battery life sucks big time

3rd: download and install CWM Recovery, look here

4: reboot in cwm recovery and make a full system backup just in case!

5: I'm assuming you are on a stock ROM, so you need to flash a kernel with BLN (backlight notification) support. Google it, it will make your phone better/smoother and don't worry you won't lose any data or apps. You can flash any kernel you want, but may i suggest this one

6: now you can install BLN control from google play

7: have fun with your notifications and press thanks if I helped :cool:

Hello

Im on cm7 and does anyone know how to zoom in and out? on several apps there is no zoom in or out like before. Even using the stock browser no zoom in or out using 2 fingers no plus or minus on the bottom page. anyone know of a work around.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PJLLB:
The pinch zoom in the browser works fine for me. Not all apps support zoom.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gregs1213:
Hmm.. My zoom is working fine on stock browser and on dolphin browser as well.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Aiwa:
Can I install a ROM like Cyanogenmod7 or an MIUI if it doesn't require a custom kernel on a locked bootloader?

I can't unlock my bootloader because of simlock and I don't want to pay.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Only Xperia UXT NXP can be installed.

Better get rooted and customize as much as you want.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Aiwa:
I am rooted but I wanted an easy way of customizing the statusbar and all that without messing around.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] andro-SYR:
but you can install CWM and backup

then you can safely mess as you want

you can install CWM on rooted stock

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] riyatch:
I was wondering if anyone has seen a charging dock for the EVO 4g LTE. It seems the EVO is missing the contacts that the ONE X has on the back so that it can easily be placed in a dock. I know its not a deal breaker but i would really like to be able to just place my phone in a dock without having to fumble for the cable to plug into the side of the phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Look for sedio to come out with one....otherwise the kickstand is ur friend...

Oh moved this to the right section BTW.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] asforme:
Except for the fact that the Micro-USB port is on the bottom when using the kickstand. A bit of a design fail there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
It's designed so you can flip the device over and still charge it while using the kickstand. Spring loaded, so it holds it up fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kmyerslp:
Yeah, I was about to say the kickstand is more rigid and firm than the og evo and works from any side.

**** Apple, I won't buy anymore of there products.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thesabri:
I found some for 12-20 on ebay for the one x I imagine it will work w the evo lte. Not certain as I've seen it said exact same size but also where it says diff sizes
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FattySparks:
I use this. It's a little pricey, but has good sound and works well with android. Has either AUX input or bluetooth for audio. Also should work with pretty much any phone with a microUSB port.

Philips Phone Dock

They also have one that can be powered by batteries, but it sounded horrible.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roman5:
I've restored my backups from the app 'My Backup', and all my apps are still there, but I thought it was supposed to save my apps settings too? I've lost save games, opera bookmarks aren't there, whatsapp conversation logs gone.The phone just installed these apps and games as though they'd never been used before. I've also had to redo certain other phone settings that I thought My Backup was meant to take care of. What's up with that? Isn't the idea of a backup app to get your phone to be exactly as it was before a reset, including exactly where you left off in any given app or game?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I think you need root for that app to restore app data and settings.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Hulk:
Yes you need root to back up game data and other settings
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roman5:
Damn. Well thanks guys, at least I know. So if I rooted now, do the backups I currently have saved contain my settings, ie, can I still get my settings back, or would the phone have to be have been rooted before the backups were created?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I believe you'd have needed root privileges prior to the backup, to read from the /data partition.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roman5:
ok, well final thought, what about kies? I did a backup on that yesterday. Does kies restore user settings?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
For apps? No. Kies wouldn't back up app data/settings anyways. Even if you DID have root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roman5:
Ah well, such is life. Still, I noticed my memo app was empty, something else My Backup didn't do. Fortunately kies just restored all my memos. Not that I'd generally trust kies for backing up other things, it's so unreliable.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Indeed. I tried using Kies for various things (including updates) for about 2 weeks, but generally found it useless.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Luriden:
I hear having random reboots/shut-offs are common with the G2X, but unlike the majority, I don't have these problems on stock, only CM7. I haven't played around with other custom roms enough to see if it's still there, as I like CM7 the best. I've tried both 7.1.0.1 and 7.2.0 RC1, along with both the standard CM7 and Faux DS UC kernels.

It seems to happen the most often when charging, plugged in without charging, or shortly after unplugging it from a charger. It sometimes happens randomly outside of that criteria.

I know it's not caused by any additional apps, as it can still occur after a clean CM7 install, unless it's an app included with CM7 that causes it. Has anyone been in this same situation, and installed a kernel that fixed it? Or switched to another similar rom that fixed the problem? I'd say it's battery or phone related if it occurred with the stock rom too, but it doesn't.

[HTC EVO 3D] LesbianSeagull:
Tried following the instructions on this site to flash the latest HTC firmware and I could not install it from 4EXT. Renamed the file to PG86IMG.zip and flashed it from fastboot but hit an error. Tried to run the RUU for my radio version and every single one has hit an error (Update Failed! Main Version is older!).

The phone was originally HBOOT 1.40 S-OFF but it is now HBOOT 1.57 with s-on (which I did). I want to return the phone back to stock and start fresh but I really don't know how. Can I return back to HBOOT 1.40 or do I have to flash to the latest 1.50 and downgrade?

I'm really stumped by this one and any help would be greatly appreciated. :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] Bizarre1:
I'm as new to the forums as you, but I did a little messing and reading around. In order to return your phone to the same way you bought it, you need to downgrade hboot to version 1.4 and then run the RUU.exe of your firmware version (I'm not sure which version it is for your phone, it was 2.17.651.5 for me but I got my phone with hboot 1.5). The downgrade thread is here [it's very tricky to brick it, make sure the light is a solid faint red (NOT BLINKING) in order to do it successfully]. Hopefully someone else can tell you which RUU version to use (to run before the downgrade if you get the *Security Warning* in hboot, as well as the one to use after in order to return to the way you were when you got the phone). I just downloaded all the RUU's and ran them all until one worked.
[HTC EVO 3D] koty2012:
Hi, did you unlock and root your phone using the HTC method?

If so I think I may be able to help.
[HTC EVO 3D] LesbianSeagull:
I think it was the Revolutionary method. Can't remember for sure since I did it quite a long time ago.
[HTC EVO 3D] koty2012:
Pm me your email, and if you'd like I could email you the RUU I have and you could see if it'll work. I'll walk you through it. You have gmail right?
[HTC EVO 3D] LesbianSeagull:
Just tried that, but I got the same HBOOT error message and I couldn't start the update in order to brick. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] Bizarre1:
Since you got that error, you need to flash the 2.08 or 2.17 RUU.exe to get rid of it. Try running the RUU while in the fastboot menu, and make sure you have the HTC drivers installed on your computer.

Have you tried both RUUs to no avail?

*Edit: I believe the drivers will install if you install HTC sync. Unfortunately I cant post the link to it, but just do a Google for HTC Evo 3D drivers. It's on HTC's website
[HTC EVO 3D] LesbianSeagull:
PM'd and thanked

Tried both

RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.08.651.2_Radio_0.97.10.0808_NV_SPCS_1.31_003_release_208230_signed

RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed

Both of which gave me the same error. the RUU connects over fastbootusb but halts at a specific point in the install, so I assume I have the right HTC drivers. I can find the install point in question if that would help.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bizarre1:
That's really strange. Just to make sure you have the right drivers, go to Control Panel and then to Device Manager and see if your phone is there. It should be under "Android USB devices" or the like. Also, is USB debugging on before the going into hboot?

*Edit: Some more little things, HTC Sync should be uninstalled from your computer, and your phone should be locked.
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Did you flash the vm firmware ??

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
[HTC EVO 3D] LesbianSeagull:
I used the instructions and download links from androidadvices(dot)com/update-htc-evo-3d-cdma-leaked-ics-403-firmware/. Reading the instructions now I see that I didn't put the phone into USB recovery mode. I can't get back into the ROM to do so and I can't get into my recovery either.
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Your currently on hboot 1.57 and thats your your getting an update fail since 2.17 RUU has hboot1.50 Im not sure their is a way to downgrade this firmware unless you try the downgrade method for hboot 1.50 but that could maybe cause in a permanent brick.
[HTC EVO 3D] LesbianSeagull:
I'm trying that now. Hopefully it works! :(
[HTC EVO 3D] LesbianSeagull:
So I tried bricking the phone using Unknownforce's method but everytime I would try and flash the 2.17 PG86IMG file in fastboot I get the same Hboot Version error. I also tried the Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint zip by renaming it to PG86IMG and and flashing in fastboot (since it has the matching hboot version), but I get a CID incorrect error. I'm trying to unlock my bootloader by using the HTC method in order to change the CID, but when I do so it gives me this in terminal.

C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...

My bootloader still says it's locked but the unlock_code.bin in ADB looks like it's working. Can anyone tell me what is happening? This is the only thing holding me back from downgrading and it's frustrating :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] koty2012:
Hey sorry I so abrubtly had to go earlier, did you try again to flash the cwm.img? If you can get into backup and restore I feel as if you might be able to just go back to the previous hboot and ROM you had , not making any promises though.
[HTC EVO 3D] LesbianSeagull:
Just gave it another shot, but I got the same error:

C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot flash boot cwm.img
sending 'boot' (4832 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.130s]
writing 'boot'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.928s

EDIT: Also tried running the 2.17 RUU again and it fails after attempting a signature check as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bizarre1:
I believe you don't flash that as boot. You flash cwm.img (clock work mod) as a recovery. Try

C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot flash recovery cwm.img

*Edit: make sure your cwm.img is in your C:\rootevo3dnew folder.

Then after that, boot into the bootloader and go to recovery to access clockwork mod. See if you have any backups (which will save you a TON of pain by putting you back on hboot 1.4 with whatever former ROM you backed it up with)
[HTC EVO 3D] LesbianSeagull:
Tried it, still gave me the signature verification error. I think it's because the bootloader is locked.
[HTC EVO 3D] LesbianSeagull:
bump

Is there anything else I can try???

I know someone on XDA has to have a solution to this...:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] Bizarre1:
You have to be unlocked to flash the recovery image. Does it not say its unlocked at the top of HBOOT after using the HTC method?

Hello, i am not new android user but i dont know what can i do if i brick phone when flashing custom rom to HTC ONE V ... one v cost something about 300€...:confused:... how many % is to brick? /sry for english/ :rolleyes:
[HTC One V] handisetyadi:
there's actually no brick possibilities as long as you flash correctly.

I never had brick problems so far, been flashing more than 20ROM to 4 Androids Devices

[HTC One V] the Doctor:
Softbricks are easy for rooted n00bs that mess with their ROMs when they don't know what they're doing. But HTC phones are easy to unbrick so it's usually not a disaster.

If you install ClockworkMod Recovery immediately after rooting and immediately do backup, you won't have to worry about bricking the device.

NOW IT's 100% WORKING!! Finally i got the zip file to work! NEW INTRUCTIONS ALSO :D

Hi friends! I have made a flashable zip file which will give you more free RAM and by that way get better performance, less lag and less battery-loss!

I have now 94MB free RAM!

(77+17=94MB) if not in settings*

Make sure you make a BACKUP first!

Step1:

->DOWNLOAD<- and place it somewhere in your SD-card

MORE LINKS: ->MULTIUPLOAD<-

Step2:

boot into CWM-recovery

Step3:

Flash the zip file

Step4:

Wipe Dalvik-chache in advanced

Step5:

Reboot your system and enjoy!

If you have problems with the camera download and flash this:

Camera ICS FIX

If you cant find settings download and flash this:

->SettingsFIX<-

If you cant find statusbar download and flash this:

StatusbarFIX /Faiyyaz

StatusbarOriginalFix

OR

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25987978&postcount=2173 - thanks RohinZaraki!

If statusbar still doesnt show up its because the launcher, you can change that in "apex-settings" or use the trebutchet

"Thanks" are appreciated :D

Creds:

Also thanks to nAa and his team for great ROM and kernel!

Reloaded ICS team!

faiyyaz - for the phone.apk and mms.apk and status bar!(they are included in this zip!)

Please PM me if you experience any new bugs after flashing this zip! Please look at the avalible fixes(above the creds) and try them before posting or PM about bugs
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] roobeyn:
What's done:

It have apps customized to mdpi/ldpi devices(smaller pics and so on), if im right the current apps that is following with the ROM is just ported directly from other stronger devices which make the apps take more performance because they are customized for stonger phones :D hope thats an answer!;)

BUT! I have also:

1. I have removed the old lame launcher "trebutchet" and gave you "Apex-launcher" instead(FASTER and more features, you can customize it so it will look exactly the same as trebutchet)

2.I changed the statusbar, the new one is faster and you have the ability to theme it yourself or remove the themes if you want original.

My first tutorial was to remove the whole app folder before flash, but many was getting confused so i remade my tutorial.

if you want max performance increase then delete all apps and push HOME+POWER to reboot and then flash it, and also flash the gapps again

Hope you made a backup before flashing as said in intructions then.

This is a fix for most users, maybe you are unlucky with a ****ty phone.

[Motorola Droid X2] Arbybear:
How did you find out the speed on CM7? The only way I can think of is to get a higher class sd-card. Class 10 is 10mbs per second, 8 is 8 per second, etc.
[Motorola Droid X2] S3AL3DF4T3:
I'm talking about changing the SD CARD read ahead cache speed found /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb. Changing the value here work until reboot. I was just wondering if there's a way to get the value to stick or if I need to create a script?
[Motorola Droid X2] S3AL3DF4T3:
It helps with performance of apps if you have them on your SD Card. I already have a class 10.
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but if you use Rom Toolbox pro and slide over to the performance tab, all the way down is an option called SD Boost. You can set different values and there's an option to apply on boot as well

There are apps that can do this and have a setting to set speed at boot. Just search the market for SD speed booster.

What Roy said lol.

Trying to do it with out an app applying setting on boot read first post.

Doing it without an app will require a script. Do you use script manager?
