Hi Schubeir,

CM7 is always a winner in terms of a good stable ROM, but you will lose the goodies that make our phone unique (3D as well as HDMI). Very fast and smooth, and because the ROM includes Theme Chooser, there's a huge selection of themes to choose from that will change your entire Android interface.

I'm currently using Promethius v1.3. Fantastic ROM...fast/smooth and keeps most of the stock LG apps. Feels like stock software, only much much faster and everything works! however, this version i dont think will work with your current baseband. you wont get and service if you flashed it.

Ultimately, there are many good ROMs to find in the Development section, so just have fun trying them out. whats good for me might not be good for you.

by the way, do you have ghost calls on V20C?
[LG Optimus 3D] schubeir:
Hi,

Did not wait long enough on V20C to know if there were ghost call issues!! the UI was behaving like stop n go n stop n go, lagging every now n then, hence wanted to root and change over to custom rom.

I need to have the 3D and HDMI, purchased this model only for this. I am at present using the DNA_GB 3.3.3 based on the new V21E rom. when i flashed the ThiaiZ O3D V2.7.1 GB.------ NO NETWORK!!!!!

Was it due to the 21D baseband in the ROM? do I then need to flash the 21e Baseband?

which do i flash first, the base band or the ROM?

Cant believe I am trying all this at the young age of 52!!!

Thanks lots for all your help.
[LG Optimus 3D] vicdo1000:
OK Schubeir,

I had the exact same problem so no problems. Yes the baseband is what is causing the lack of network.

I know there is any easier way to flash baseband, but i found it quite easy flashing my phone back to a stock v21e kdz, and then flashing a custom ROM built using the v21e as a base. The reason for this is V21E is proven not to have ghost calls, so thats the biggest benefit. it also has much better battery life. And finally, you can flash Promethius which has all the stock goodies (3D, HDMI).

Follow this link and go to point 3 - LG Flash tool.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1491870

you must follow it step by step word for word or it wont work. Of course you will need to download the V21E kdz file...jut do a search and you should find it.

After flashing back to stock V21E, root again with Megatron, then flash ROM as you normally would. then flash GAPPS (google Apps) right away also.

Bit long winded, but its a one of and its well worth it getting your phone setup right. With Promethius, the phone runs awesome!

Cheers

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogomantik:
hello everybody!

i'm making a program that needs to set to a textview the content of a string stored in resource/string file

in my program i generate a string and i need to set the text using that string like a resource id. the problem is that the resouurce ids are integers.

something like:

test = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvMyTV);

mystring = "test_a";

test.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.mystring)));

-----------

i obviously can't use R.string.mystring, i should use

test.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.test_a)));

somebody have a solution to this problem?

thank you all and sorry for my bad english. i'm italian
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_R:
Hi!

Why are you using HTML.fromHTML? You don't need to use that to set a string from your resource.

This is how it works. Your resource ids are ints. you pass this int to some methods which get you the respective resource. The getString method similarly takes an int resource id for your string and returns you a string which you just set to a textview

String myString = getString(R.string.mystring);
test.setText(myString);

or simply

test.setText(getString(R.string.mystring));

Thats all there is to it :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogomantik:
thank you for the fast answer but it doesnt work :)

i'm using Html.fromHtml because the string is html-formatted (inside have <b>...</b> , <br/>)

String myString = getString(R.string.mystring);

R.string.mystring doesnt exist besause mystring dont exist as a resource string (which have an associated Int id). mystring is a variable.

i have to write something like

String myString = getString(R.string.[the content of mysting]);

i tried to write

test.setText(pleaseGiveMeMyString(mystring));

where

public String pleaseGiveMeMyString(String inputstring) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String outputString = "R.string." + inputstring;
return outputString;
}

but in the textView i read R.string.test_a not the content of the string test_a

like i wrote

test.setText("R.string.test_a");
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_R:
There is a lot that is wrong with what you are trying to do. You are trying to set the output of an HTML code to a TextView. It won't work.

If you want to display the output of an HTML code you should use a WebView.

I am afraid I am having a hard time understanding what exactly you are trying to do with the string resources but I'm going to try to explain this to you again.

This is how you set a string in strings.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="test_string">This is my string</string>
</resources>

Then in your java program you get the string like this

String mystring = getString(R.string.test_string);

the contents of mystring are "This is my string"

Besides I am not sure if it is a wise thing to store HTML code as part of your strings.xml file. Because of the similarities in HTML and XML tag formats.

You'd be better off making a .html file in notepad or something and then just put this .html file in the raw folder of your project. Then you just load this file using getResources().openRawResources(). Then use the InputStream object this method ouputs to create a BufferedReader and read in the HTML as a String.

Pass this string to a WebView to display your HTML in a renderered form.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burningwipf:
The stock contacts-app in sandvolds ICS already supports merging contacts:

Choose one of the contacts you want to merge and go to the edit-menu.

If you now press menu again, there should be two options: lower one is discard changes, upper one should be merge (it's called 'join').

You can try this ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1579774

It's not a "custom ROM" with a lot of features and tweaks. It's based on a stock ROM (Gingerbread 2.3.6) and it's rooted, deodexed, with CWM Recovery and some other features...

For flashing instructions click on the link in the ROM's thread "Flashing Rom with Odin" where you will find a tutorial to the process...

To prevent any problem flash the right ROM for your device (International or USA version), you will only miss the SoundAlive feature that's crap in Gingerbread but games and other apps works fine.

Hope I helped and sorry for my crap english

Remove bloatware

Hi @all!

I'm running Android 4.0.4 rooted on locked bootloader Xperia Neo.

Don't know what's the matter but it seems that bloatware in /system/vendor/app/ (such as 'Fun & Downloads', 'Let's Golf', etc) cannot be deleted.

I tried to remove those packages from SManager, Es Explorer and Root Uninstaller with root permission but they just refuse (it gives an error).

Any idea?? How did you remove them and why I cannot?

Tnx a lot!

So, use Root Explorer and navigate to folder and press Mount R-W button, than you ll be able to delete it.

I'm root and the partition is mounted with R/W permissions and yet it doesn't permit the files to be deleted. It just says that they cannot be deleted.

Hi. I'm new to EVO 4g LTE . I rooted my phone and installed teamwin recovery. But when I downloaded mean Rom 2.9, it got stuck on step " copying flashable zip files to sdcard/meanrom-ICS '. PLZ HELP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Whoops somehow I unsubscribed from the thread and didn't get notified of posts xD I'm probably too late but I'll reply to the questions anyway:

Rule of thumb is to never take OTAs if you want to root. I recommend you root unlock the bootloader (either HtcDev unlock or S-OFF) and then flash pre-rooted versions of the newer Stock ROM once someone releases a version. This will ensure you keep root forever.

Nope you will be fine :) Wimax keys were stored in a different partition back in the OG Evo and the 3D, this is no longer the case with 4G.

Make sure the zip you downloaded is not corrupted, check that the MD5 hash matches if it is provided or simply try to re download the zip. Sometimes it might take a bit longer than expected so just give it some time :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixersoft:
Hello,

I'm moving to the US (DC) after 8 yrs as an expat and I need a new phone + carrier. I'm coming from an iPhone 3GS I lost a month ago, but I've never experienced fast 3G, never been able to watch video on a phone, and no longer eat up voice minutes. Truth be told, I'm probably a value customer looking for a plan with more data than voice. And chances are I'll probably go abroad again in 2 years and would prefer to still be able to use this phone unlocked internationally.

Q1: Which carrier should I go with, ATT/Verizon/Tmobile/Sprint/USCellular?

Q2: Are there any prepaid plans that are a better fit?

many thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njdevils28:
My Family and I are ATT and Verizon customers. Both these carriers use a tiered billing system for Data Plans. $$ for 1GB/Month, $$ for 2GB/Month and so on. 3G is not as fast as you would think. A Streamed movie is smooth if your standing still and not using an over stressed cell tower, it's choppy if your moving (a car or train) as it loses speed when switching from one cell tower to the next.

As for unlocking the phone. You have a few options. In the US once your contract term is fulfilled (usually 2 years) you own the phone and a simple call to your carrier and they will unlock it for you or you can unlock the phone using third party software (Jail-breaking).

[Optimus One, P500, V General] vinaybaboo:
You can use Roq's latest Kernel from Here.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJNoXD:
Just flash cm7 again (without wiping anything).

After that you will have the original kernel again.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ramis:
but that would reset all all my settings.

isnt there a way to extract the kernel?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJNoXD:
No, if you flash a new version (or the same version) of cm you won't loose all your settings. Important is that you only wipe dalivik cache and cache, nothing else.

Than the only thing you loose are changes you have done to "system"-folder. But less people do this.

The normal configurations like wlan, ... are not touched / lost.

If you are scared to loose your rom data, create a backup (clockwork recovery) before.

Only extracting is not easily possible.

If you got the kernel "zImage" file and the "wireless.ko" module, you have to create the signed zip file before you can flash it.

source cyanogenmod

Option 1: Koush's AnyKernel zip file Koush's AnyKernel repacks the kernel in the package with the ramdisk currently flashed to the device. Therefore, we need to change the boot.img --base address so the boot.img will boot on the 32A device. This change needs to be made in mkbootimg.sh in the package. Koush has a 32A branch of AnyKernel here: http://github.com/koush/AnyKernel Clone the AnyKernel repo

git clone git://github.com/koush/AnyKernel.git -b 32A

This will make a folder called AnyKernel in your working directory. Keep this and just copy it to your packaging directory.
Copy the AnyKernel folder to a working directory. In the AnyKernel folder you have three folders:

kernel
Put the zImage in this folder. Leave it named zImage
META-INF
system
Put the wlan.ko in system/lib/modules. Replace the placeholder wlan.ko file.

Now you can zip the 3 folders together and sign them

zip -r port.zip *
java -classpath <path to SDK/tools>testsign.jar testsign port.zip signed-port.zip

for example:

java -jar ../SignApp/signapk.jar ../SignApp/testkey.x509.pem ../SignApp/testkey.pk8 port.zip update_signed.zip

This creates a signed zip file called port.zip and can be flashed. :) You are done.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ramis:
oh ok then, thanks :)

p.s would you recommend Roq's kernel or the default cm7 one?

(i won't be gaming on my phone. just want performance and battery life)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJNoXD:
I haven't tried roqs latest kernel.

Just try it. Only you will know what you are searching for. ;)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] yuripg1:
I get the zImage using a flashable ZIP that I made.

What I did was simply modify a kernel installer (by Koush) to make it extract the boot.img of the ROM currently installed to the SD card.

After flashing it, I copy and rename the zImage in /sdcard, copy the modules in /system/lib/modules and make the flashable ZIP as any other kernel.
