[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiley87:
I cannot explain how many hours i have spent trying to gret this damn thing to work. Either it crops it so its slap bang in the middle, or a third of the screen goes blank.

I use my tablet in landscape mode, so i would like a picture to be placed without it being stretched, preferably in no scroll mode.

Regardless of the aspect ratio of the wallpaper i select, i always encounter problems. Could someone PLEASE tell me the ratio I need and the steps I should take to get the picture nicely centered? I try crop, exact, stretch, exact crop and it never works.

Thanks in advance guys, really appreciated.

I am trying to install Amon_RA recovery on my N1.

I followed the instructions from the Full Update Guide (wiki.cyanogenmod) and from XDA (recovery RA-passion-v2.2.1 by Amon-RA who does an outstanding dev).

Checked md5sum of recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img : matched

Checked md5sum of recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1-CM.img: matched

The phone is unlocked. I use fastboot to flash the recovery. I get “Signature verify fail”.

I made a thorough search and I did not find an explanation and an answer other than for rooted phone.

I do not want to root.

I tried disabling the anti virus program. I reset the phone. I checked the installation of SDK. I checked the Environment Variables in “Advanced settings” on Widows Vista and Win7. I even checked my sanity:).

I would appreciate any guidance to solve this issue.

Nexus One unlocked

S-ON	HBOOT-0.35.0017	RADIO-5.08.00.04

GB 2.3.6	Kernel 2.6.35.7-59465-g42bad32	Build # GRK39F

Device recognised under ADB and Fastboot. Recovery put in android-sdk-windows/platform-tools.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivan93tm:
hi, sorry if my english isn't perfect, but i want to try to help u.

If with the command fastboot devices you get a report the fastboot.jpg in attachments you'r ok.

Unlock the bootloader, command prompt do this: fastboot oem unlock

and accept the question on the mobile phone.

now you have phone unloocked so no free assistance if you broke.

Procede to next step, flash the recovery download rar from attachments and then in the fastboot do this: fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img if you get problem repost.

teh in the bootloader go to bootloader (power button) and then recovery (power button) phone will reboot in recovery mode.

If you have problem post another time and forgive my bad english =)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taodan:
You said "I do not want root" so why do you want to install custom recovery? The purpose of installing custom ROM or recovery is to gain root access but you don't want to root your phone so don't flash custom ROM or recovery. And you should post in Q&A not both places.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
Molto grazie.Your English is far better than my Italian.

As I said the phone is unlocked and, yes, I get fastboot (if not I could not go to the point where I am, I believe)

Forza italia ma nontroppo against Russia:D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivan93tm:
Yes, you're right, but i'm agree with Taodan, why you should have to flash recovery if you don't want root ? it isn't very useful XD maybe you want root in order to backup a stock rom, but if you want a stock rom of android 2.3.4 i can upload one for you XD anbd thanks for say my engolish isn't bad and yes Forza Italia XD but I want to get live in the UK or USA !!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
I owe you an apology for not knowing that I have to justify the purpose of my question.

I was naive enough to consider that flashing a recovery was obviously to help install a Cyanogen ROM. My naivete even brought me to believe that installing a Recovery without flashing a ROM will bring me back to the stock recovery.

Going further I should have added "for the moment" to my decision of not rooting.

And my final answer, regarding the wrong thread, is that I tried to edit my post in order to move to the right thread when I discovered my mistake.

Thank you for your reply. It will help me re-check my sanity.

That said are you ready to offer me a solution which could be posted on the other thread?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
My main concern is not to root or not to root.

Re-read my post and you will discover that my question specifically asks for a solution regarding a flash recovery.

Anyway, I do appreciate your contribution. Prego:)

Alright, I recently upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100T and was immensely impressed. I had the option of getting a Galaxy S3, but it looked abit ugly in my opinion :p

What's happened now, is that I have a spare Acer Liquid Metal that I use as a door-stopper and paperweight. I was wondering, is there anything cool that I can do with it apart from selling it?

It doesn't have too high specs, after all, I did get it for $128 AUD. The basic specs are the following:

-800Mhz Single Core Scorpion

-Adreno 205 GPU

-800x480 screen

On top of that, it's rooted and has t&l metal 2.3.6 with TechnoLover's kernel running on top of that.

Comment on what you think I'd be able to do with it, thanks :)

Consider converting it into an mobile audio player

I loaded up an old smartphone with mp3 files, including music and audiobooks, and paired it with a motorola roadster portable speaker (around $50-$70). I then dropped my satellite radio subscription, so now, when I'm out and about, I'm able to listen to just the music I want to hear, with no commercials, come-ons, or monthly fees - including data overage fees resulting from streaming content from the internet. I originally stopped using the smartphone because it was a lousy phone. Makes a very good in-car audio player, though.

Root it, put an awesome rom on it, install all your apps and stuff you use regularly and keep it as a back up phone. You never know when yours will break or go missing, its ALWAYS a good idea to have a back up phone that already has all your stuff on it... Good rule of thumb would be to add any new apps and phone numbers to this phone once a month, just in case. You may need to run somewhere while flashing a new rom to your GSII, so you can just throw your sim in this phone and your good to go! So my vote says keep it as a backup.

Use it as a weather station. In my opinion, that's a much better solution than buying a dedicated device.

You can get the weather data online, just make sure that the update rate is high enough. I ended up writing my own little weather application complementing my data with an indoor temperature sensor (USB). But there are plenty of apps you can use out of the box.

But, anyone knows a good rom or kernel that needs more battery but with better performance? like better phone reception and sinal, good power for wifi and Gps? i don´t care if battery go to 0 in few hours but i need strong sinal and good reception, now i´m using slim 3.7, original kernel and modem JVU
[Galaxy S I9000 General] adytum:
No ROM will magically boost the power of your phone's hardware, but I think devil kernel can work for you, ie using powerful wifi mode, and it's also a great kernel for overclocking.

Using GT-I9000 my sent Tapatalk 2 from.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Taxiozaurus:
There are few ways of achieving better signal and better stability with greater performance. As adytum said, try another kernel, Devil or Glitch, they have good stability and variation of options. Next, change modem to see if u find any better than JVU. Last is to carefully use LiveOC and OC/UV. I recommend using CM9 with Devil or IcyGlitch (I prefer Icy but Devil offers more RAM) and with I/O scheduler set to deadline performance or GlitchOnDemand if IcyGlitch kernel is used. Optimal is 108% LiveOC and OC set to 1200 in NSTools or performance setings, u should get a bit more than 1300MHz in overall. With that config u can get about 10h of fun. Good luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Matruchoti:

On newer smartphones, hard usage(gaming for example) does increase the temperature and it is completely normal, however I have never experienced problems with touch screen.

Long time ago, I also used custom kernel to overclock and then play, temperature went higher indeed(battery was over 40 degrees Celsius), but I still didn't have any problems, even though I didn't play for long time, but only for 20 minutes, to prevent damage to mainboard.

Same issue

I'm having the same issue. Phone got the IMM76k update, and after downloaded, was prompted to restart and install. So i did, gets through part of the install, and then goes to the android man on his back with a red exclamation mark. Have tried multiple times, all to no avail. Now, when I click check for update, it says system up to date, but still on 4.0.2.

Non-rooted, bootloader unlocked...anyone have any luck fixing this?
[General Questions and Answers] ArthurZey:
After downloading update, get Android man on back with red exclamation point

I'm having some difficulty getting the update to install, along the lines of some of the comments posted before mine:

I was able to force download the OTA update (IMM76K) according to the instructions on this original post. (It took a few tries, but eventually worked.)

I select the "Restart & Install" option (which is the only option available to me), and it restarts.

I get the relatively familiar Android man with his blue-green glowing polyhedron wireframe guts spinning, and a progress bar beneath him. After getting through what looks like about 20%, it slows down significantly, and I get the Android man on his back with a red exclamation point above him where the polyhedron used to be. I don't recall seeing any specific error message any of the three times that I tried this. (The first time, I did a battery pull; the second and third times, I just waited, and it eventually restarted on its own.) Needless to say, I'm still on 4.0.2.

I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with different version names and so forth (e.g,. I don't know what yakju is), but this was a phone that Verizon sent me in December 2011 here in the US.

Here's the information from my "About phone" page:

Model number: Galaxy Nexus

Android version: 4.0.2

Baseband version: I515.09 V.EK05 / I515.EK02

Kernel version: 3.0.8-gaaa2611 android-build@apa28 #1

Build number: ICL53F

When I first got the phone, I immediately unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. I did NOT install a custom recovery, nor did I install any custom ROM.

It sounds like there might be some kind of validation error, but I do not recall doing anything that would make my OS non-stock, except perhaps side-loading Google Wallet, but since that doesn't even require root, I can't imagine that it would have any effect. My Superuser app shows only the following apps to have ever used root permissions: BusyBox Free, Secure Settings, Superuser, Terminal Emulator, and Titanium Backup. I've only used BusyBox and Secure Settings with Tasker to automate certain tasks, but nothing crazy! Mostly, I just need root for Titanium Backup. (I cannot recall exactly what I restored from my stock Gingerbread Droid X, but I was very careful to only restore apps and their corresponding app data--and I avoided restoring any Google-provided apps.) Even my tethering is done through an app not requiring root (SVTP).

Any advice (not requiring that I do a factory reset or flash a custom recovery or ROM) would be greatly appreciated! I'd also like to hear about people who have similar circumstances, but didn't have problems updating (so that I can rule out various factors).

Thank you in advance!

[General Questions and Answers] ths_:
My friend who has a nexus has his bootloader unlocked and CWM on it. He got the OTA today on his way into work and like you guys, he has a broken android when he boots up. We can get into CMW but we are unable to mount his internal SD storage onto our computer and he has no ROM zips on his phone. Any advice as to how to get his phone up and running?

Will wiping the system/data fix it? Is there a way to get a ROM like AOKP onto the device outside of CWM?

Edit: After several reboots it decided to just boot into the stock ROM. Really strange. Anyhow, flashed AOKP and all is well now.
