Received Verizon 4G LTE Droid XYBoard 8.2 today, successfully rooted using Dan Rosenberg's method. Thanks. Next I tried to enable Wi-Fi Ad Hoc mode according to

http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-hacking-guides/4016-how-enable-ad-hoc-wi-fi-connection.html

and

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033314

I think they use the same wpa_supplicant variant. Any how, it doesn't work on XYBoard. The Wi-Fi stuck on "turning on" for a while then showed "Error".

Is there anyone who has enabled wi-fi ad hoc mode on XYBoard? Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] RockZors:
Hello all,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note i717. I have installed a few ROM's, but recently I installed CM9 unofficial build. After it was installed, I noticed that my build.prop is only like 4 lines long. So I try and add stuff to it (I am rooted, and used RW mode in Root Explorer). I can close the file and save changes successfully, but when I reboot it is back to the way it was with the 4 lines. It is not only that though, any files i add to the "/" get deleted upon reboot.

Things I have tried:

ODIN to stock rom, still did not have a full build.prop

Tried many different ways to change file system (different programs)

Ran fix permissions in CWM and busybox installer script

All with no success. Is there anything else I can try to fix this and be able to edit my "/" and have changes take affect. Or has anyone had this issue before?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] RockZors:
So no one has any idea what's happening? Is there a way to completely wipe everything and start fresh? Like format the whole internal file system like a brand new phone?

So I just installed Vortex Junior's Dark Knight ROM and I am incapable of seeing any non latin based languages.

I have tried replacing the fonts, but the Google Korean IME doesn't register a change. It's crucial for me to be able to see and type in Korean, so I would appreciate an expedient solution.

Does anyone have a solution for this? I cannot get Korean to display, even after downloading the Google IME. I'm on 4.2 Slimbean.

Didn't this forum get Faux123 an amaze, and he tried to get something going but the lack of TI wifi drivers it something like that pretty much made it impossible to make custom kernels? I love his work and if he couldn't do anything, I don't know if anyone else could do much better...but I guess he did give up before ICS.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sportsstar89:
Giving him the amaze was before me but making a kernel doesn't require wi-fi i'll take a working aosp with GSM and data with no wi-fi in a heartbeat but I really need someone to help out with the groundbreaking stuff its just me, ziggy, eclipze and silent

Thanks for that. Not sure if it will actually improve my battery life, but the majority of the those apps/widgets I never use so at least it cleans my menu up a bit (I never knew you could disable system applications in ICS). Mini Diary, for example, is completely useless come ICS as S Note has a diary option. The default calculator and file managers are also pretty useless compared to others.

The problem with battery drain is not these apps but that the phone refuses to go into deep sleep.

Gsm only no 3g

Freeze WiFi sharing

Keyboards u don't use

Make sure WiFi isn't in use when it phone is in standby

Lower screen brightness

Turn off auto brightness

Underclock from 1.4 to 1.2 ghz there really is no difference

Try calibrating your battery

With that you should squeak out six hours of moderate high use assuming WiFi is on a lot
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tonio78370:
I really love my Note but this issue could be the reason why I dump it. One merely gets paranoiac because of the bad autonomy.

In fact I wait for the 4.0.4 update that seems to cure things but if it doesn't, I'll change.

I'm on holiday and have very bad reception (Edge most of the time); together with this Deep Sleep thing, I often have to charge twice a day to be able to use my Note a little.

Normally my Note uses around 1.0~1.5%/hour, in todays situation it uses around 4% in Deep Sleep and up to 15,20 or 30%/hour when I use it and connection is bad.

I'm fed up surveying my battery level constantly fearing I run out of juice..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkt97401:
So, what exactly is keeping us from flashing kernel's from the HTC One X, or for that matter a ROM made for the One X? I thought that the insides were basically the same, so isn't the software basically identical? Sorry if this sounds noobish, And could anyone clarify as to why this may or may not be possible?

Thank you for your time!

Is there any way that flashing a kernel could brick my phone?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
Flashing kernels from a close relative device is usually not a good idea. Even though you would be able to recover your device from recovery or the bootloader when it bricks. Why don't you try?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
No you cant flash them its a completely different phone. The kernel is made specifically for that phone, if you try ot you WILL BRICK YOU EVO trust me on that. Same with if you try to flash a one x rom. Please dont be that guy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkt97401:
I will try it as soon as I am able.

I have been waiting to flash anything until I can get into the Google Wallet app and reset the settings to protect my NFC.

Needless to say, it's been having issues even getting into the app haha
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
I think it would be a hard brick right? So no getting into anything incliding recovery. Do not try it. But if you want a 700 dollar paperweight go ahead.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
Why would it be a hard brick?? A kernel is part of the OS. It's not a firmware or a radio. If a kernel doesn't take, at worst, the phone will lock up. Use the battery pull equivalent to reboot the phone back into recovery and restore a previous image.

In pc terms, a kernel is not the bios. It's just part of the OS that lets the OS communicate with the hardware layer of the machine/device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
I always thought a bad kernel would hard brick a phone. My bad. I stand corrected.

So any luck with that kernel?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Androidzzz:
It's been awhile since I did anything much with my phone and so I am a bit out of date on what is available these days, especially with the Bionic, I could use a little advice and some recommendations. I used to be into phone modding big "back in the day" with my DX but not so much anymore.

Firstly, I am not a nub and I spent a few hour's online reading before deciding to post anything so I am not trying to be spoon fed here, but I am a bit stuck here and I am not sure what to do. Anyway, I got the phone with 886 and rooted it, installed my stuff and have been using it since. Been having some issues with the phone (still do) so I decided to update it. I made backups via clockworkmod and did the forever root (where you edit with SQL editor) and ran the official update. The OTA said I would be getting 902 however after it installed I was on 893, so I assume I needed to be on 893 before I could go to 902, however when I try to go to 902 I get failed update.

I have tried two ways of updating.

1a. Updating to 902 from phone

2a. Updating from stock recovery using the 902 update file, named Blur_Version.5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip

1b. When updating from phone it downloads, "installs", phone reboots to "update failed".

2b. When installing update from stock recovery I get "package verification failed bla bla myverizon.apk".

So, I figured it was apps and such I either removed, froze, etc. I unfroze and restored any stock apps and still myverizon.apk failed. I read online about putting myverizon.apk in /system/apps however that did not work.

My goal is to keep my phone as is, I cannot really afford to reset it at this time. I feel what I need is the proper myverizon.apk file and someone with more knowledge than myself to tell me exactly what to do.

Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

[HTC EVO 3D] gokart2:
So all the excitement between the new EVO LTE and S3 got me thinking about the next motorola phone. I know moto has a bad rep about locking the phones down hard and not having good customer relations. Google may make major changes as to how moto operates (think they will). I love the RAZR/RAZR Maxx look. And the most important thing for me is that its an American company, not one from Taiwan. This doesn't effect most people, but for me it is something I keep in consideration when buying just about everything.

Since Google now has control, I'm not so sure the phones to come will be locked so hard. Considering how Samsung and HTC are unlocking bootloaders now, and let's be honest...Android know's what we the people want. As much as I want the new EVO (I'd even be happy with the S3 :/ )....I think the next phone they develope is going to be badass. I hope that they at least jump off Verizons u know what and offer it on Sprint as well.

Just curious what anyone else thinks. It's hard to wait for something that might not happen the way I think/want. The EVO LTE is calling my name.

[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
From what I remember, google only bought motorola for their patents. TBH I see the next nexuses from Samsung only.
[HTC EVO 3D] dr.chucky:
I personally hope Samsung is taken off the nexus line. A nexus is supposed to be ahead of all other phones. When HTC made the nexus one, it was ahead of anything out at the time, and for a long time. If you look at the specs no phone was on par with it until the evo 4g and the epic. Samsung made the nexus s which came out a year and a half ago and its honestly crap. My mom has one and my epic works better than that on cm9. The last two Samsung nexus phones have not been so good. Even the gnex, being a good phone, doesn't have anything we haven't seen before. Moto or HTC should be the next nexus makers
[HTC EVO 3D] gokart2:
For Google to have bought Motorola and not utilize it would be kind stupid. I'm not saying they should make something so good that others get pissed and actually start making they're own OS. But to use moto for their "nexus" line is a no brainer. And make it kinda special to say the least.
[HTC EVO 3D] gokart2:
And if this thread does belong somewhere else, mod please...by all means. Just let me know where u put it. I just know by the badass new devices that have been/are to be released have me thinking of moving on and I assume others who haven't, are still possibly thinking. And as much as I have grown to love HTC, this could turn out to indeed be bigger then the new EVO and S3.....or maybe not?

There are a few remarks here that have me wondering/excited.

[HTC EVO 3D] Jfree3000:
Correct, because Apple is suing and stealing everything else and Google is protecting their investments. Motorola apparently has some major patents on things that Apple does not like and wants.

OK I apologize ahead of time for what is probably a ridiculously easy question for most.

The ATT 1X is my first android and this is the first phone that I've rooted.

I read for hours and followed the instruction to a T. I rooted, unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM.

I can get into Recover/Boot mode or whatever you call it on phone startup, I have the Super user icon in my files, but I have no idea what to do now.

I found a ROM that I thought was worth a shot (CleanROM 2.5) but I don't know what to do. I've read and researched for hours now and everyone's problems seem to be complicated but no one talks about this.

I downloaded the ROM to my computer but I don't know what to do with the files, I can't find a .bat file or anything to initialize it and I am stuck.

I've wiped the data and done everything in the steps but I'm stuck at actually installing it. I know I'm obviously doing something wrong but I feel like I'm very close to what needs to be done.

Any help is welcome, thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RealPariah:
I recommend you check QA thread found in a sub forum under your devices section and you review the stickied post for ROM install or Google "android install custom ROM " (remove quotes). Too much info on this already to type it all back out here. Did you watch you tube newb video you agreed to have watched when getting an xda account?

Essentially you now made it so your phone has the ability via CWM Recovery to now boot to that to install ROM zip or continue to use rooted stock ROM (how you flashed that zip for superuser is baasically same as how you flash a cwm compatible ROM zip (MOST but not all ROMs)) which with SuperUser can now run privelleged code if it is made to or requires it to run.

Thanks. I know this must seem so stupid, but I've been searching this forum, google, youtube and pretty much everything else for how to do this and I get it all and understand what's happening.

I just don't know where to put this ROM (which folder) to get it to install.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pirateghost:
So after all that searching you never came across instructions informing you to put the zip on your phones storage?

You should probably just hold off a bit on flashing anything then. Not being mean but it sounds like you are confused by the process and end result. Step back and do some basic checklisting.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Driggity420:
Download the rom you want and DO NOT UN ZIP IT. THEN PLACE THAT ZIP ON PHONE STORAGE AND BOOT INTO YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY . HIT INSTALL FROM SD CARD AND MAKE SURE THE ROM YOU DOWNLOADED IS LISTED BUT DONT FLASH YET. GO BACK THE THE MAIN SCREEN OF RECOVERY. NOW MAKE A BACKUP. WHEN THAT IS DONE GO BACK TO MAIN RECOVERY SCREEN AND HIT WIPE PHONE DATA AND THEN CONFIRM. THEN GO AND HIT CLEAR CACHE OPTION. THEN GO BACK AND GO TO ADVANCED AND CLEAR DALVICK CACHE. NOW YOUR READY TO FLASH. GO TO INSTALL ZIP FROM SD AND FLASH YOUR ROM. FIRST BOOT ALWAYS TAKES LONG AFTER FLASHING A NEW ROM :thumbup:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] deblas66:
Been posting on the internet for decades, don't worry about being mean. I'm here to learn. I rooted, unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM so that I could take advantage before the phone asked me to update the software to the 1.85 version.

My phone works fine now, and I did everything correctly which is what I was setting out to do. I'm in no rush to flash a ROM, but now that I'm ready I'm itching to try it out.

This is the process as I understand it and as stupid as it sounds, I'm hung up on where in phone storage to place the zip file of the rom. I don't see a storage folder, an SD folder, nothing that seems obvious and nothing that is in any of the things I've been reading or watching.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pirateghost:
Plug phone into computer. When prompted, select Disk Drive. On computer, browse to your computer, open the 'disk drive', and copy the zip there. THAT is your sdcard as seen by your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] deblas66:
Seriously?

Wow I feel dumb. I was looking for a sub folder or directory specifically for storage and backup.

Thanks, I think that should be enough for me to do this tonight.
