Thanks, but I think you have to use chmod. For some reason root explorer / es file explorer, &c. cannot change this permission, because they do not have permission to change the permission.
[HTC One S] tongueman87:
Is there anything that we can get or do when we're 100% stock? Like themes icon packs
[HTC One S] brwetz:
Is there anything you specifically want to do on the phone? There are apps for Launchers, Icon Packs, Themes for those launchers, etc.
[HTC One S] tongueman87:
Themes that ppl make mainly.
[HTC One S] tongueman87:
Just stuff to spice up the phone without messing with root and boot
[HTC One S] baseballfanz:
Like brwetz already posted, you can use a 3rd party launcher.

Most of those launcher offer themes and icon pack.

Outside of that I believed to theme a ROM required editing of certain files in framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk which require root to get to.
[HTC One S] tongueman87:
Ok well I will just see about rooting then. I don't like third party launchers. Thank you two though for your answers

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gpo1956:
Search is down right now and I need help. I was going from AOKP back to Cleanrom. I went into CWM and did a factory wipe and went to reboot. It stuck in bootload loop. I went back into recovery and it says unable to load SD card. I tried to relock the bootloader, but it say bootloader oem lock is an unrecoginized command. I know there are several threads concerning this, but with no search, its next to impossible to find them. Anyone have any help?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
The command is "fastboot oem lock" not "bootloader oem lock". So yeah, if I was in your situation I would do that and then run an RUU and start over.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] denversc:
I ran into something similar during my 2nd ROM flashing experience. I got into this state by doing a factory wipe from the bootloader screen (as opposed to doing it from recovery). This wiped my entire SDCard partition, even the filesystem on it. So when I booted into Android, it failed to mount the SDCard altogether, saying that it was corrupted.

I had to re-format the SDCard from Windows in order to recover, by doing the following:

1. Boot into recovery (for me was TWRP 2.1.8.1)

2. Select "Mount"

3. Checkmark "Mount SDCard"

4. Connect device to PC via USB cable

5. Select "Mount USB Storage" in TWRP

6. On the PC, find the SDCard's drive in My Computer, right-click on it, and select "Format"

7. Proceed with formatting the SDCard ("Quick Format" is fine)

8. Safely remove the USB storage from Windows

9. Reboot the device

Upon rebooting, the SDCard mounted fine, although all data was erased.

Lesson learned: do factory reset from recovery, not the bootloader screen ￼
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gpo1956:
Thanks denversc! Let me try that.

Metalhead, thats what I was typing, sorry I mistyped in my post.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gpo1956:
It says error mounting/sdcard. Also, my pc doesn't recognize my phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Are you sure you were typing the commands from within your adb folder?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gpo1956:
Come to think about it, I don't think I was. Let me try that again! Thanks very much.

Hi

trying to root my wildfire S using this guide: androidforums.com/wildfire-s-all-things-root/480954-guide-how-root-wildfire-s-s-finally.html

I have been trying to unlock the bootloader from htcdev.

When following the directions from htcdev, the cmd: "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" ends in "waiting for device".

I dont think the device is correctly in fastboot usb mode.

The attached message is what comes when I choose fastboot, when in HBOOT. after that it goes back to the start menu of HBOOT.

Is the phone supposed to start up, and state that its in "fastboot usb" mode ?

Any help appreciated as im quite stuck here.

The phone starts up normally fine. And I have the HTC drivers installed correctly.

Thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
Um is it stuck in the sdcard scan?
[HTC Wildfire S] kugle:
Well the phone is working fine. Its only when I boot into that menu, and I can't fast boot.when I select fast boot it will loop through the Sd card scan (if that's what it is), and return to selection menu.

First of all, if you don't know what a DNS tunnel is, I recommend you to read this page (if you read the first two chapters, you know enough): DNS Tunnel explanation

About Element53 Pro:

Element53 Pro is a ready to use DNS tunnel, it works the same as this (free version of Element53) application, but this is the 'pro' version. The 'pro' version has the benefit that you don't have any data limit. So you can browse or do whatever you want the whole day.

What do you need?

If you have rooted your device (this is no requirement) you can install ProxyDroid and route all internet traffic into the tunnel. You can do this for the best user experience.

You have to configure ProxyDroid before you can use all the functions of Element53. You should apply the following settings:

Host should be: 127.0.0.1

port should be: 3128

Proxy type: SOCKS5

After that, you have to start Element53 by pressing the 'green button', after that you can start ProxyDroid. Because Element53 creates a DNS tunnel, the connection is not very fast, but it works fine for me.

If you have any questions or whatever, please don't mind to ask.

So i've moved on to the galaxy s3 on att and have no use for this phone anymore. It's in pretty good condition. How much can i expect to get from this thing. I want to put it on craigslist but there prices are all over the place.

I put it on there for 350 but no responses. What would be a fair price? I don't want to go too low.

Also I'm not trying to sell it on here, I'm not sure but i would assume thats against forum rules. If it's believed to be against the rules please delete my post or request i change it before banning me or anything.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Well Sprint will only give you $105 on a buyback and that's if the phone is in pristine condition. I'd definitely lower it to around $200-250 (the going prices I've seen so far). Also, check gazelle.com sometimes their price offering is way better than Sprint.

Sold my brothers white 9.8/10 almost perfect clean esn last week on craigslist. No interest at $250 lowered to $225 guy offered $170, settled on $200.

Sprint is only offering $98 now according to the website.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
If I ever get rid of mine I'll be donating it to a developer. $105 & $98 are almost insulting for this phone. lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] husker apollo:
from my observation youll only get 250 if u have a bunch of accessories (cases, extra chargers, etc.) not to mention a pristine phone. 200 is def closer to average.

my 2cents, this phone is nice enough to hang onto IMO just as another device to screw around. but i do like my toys. i suppose if ur gonna sell it now is the last shot to get 200, it will prob drop to 150 within the next 2 months.

also always nice to have a backup phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
just a tip, open ebay app, search "epic 4g touch", click the refine button, choose "cell phones and smart phones" category, on the same page tick the box that says "sold items only", press done, what you now see is the range of amounts epic 4g touches have been selling for recently...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Two great phones. The OG EVO still ranks as one of my favorites edged out only by the E4GT.

My son passed his E4GT to his dad in exchange for me giving him my OG EVO. He just likes the weight and feel of it. I think the E4GT almost felt too light and he was always worried he'd drop it while using it. lol He'll come back around at some point but it's great to see my EVO getting more use.

Just a heads-up to XDAers with E4GTs for sale:

I'm about to test and see if the MVNO KDDI Mobile will allow Sprint phones to be allowed on their network - if it does there will probably be several in my office interested in buying phones. But I caveat that with this: It would be mainly for work purposes so they're probably only going to want 100, maybe 150 if they are interested.

Will post an update soon - but honestly I don't see how they won't let it if the ESN is clean and I factory reset to allow hands-free activation.

I managed to find interesting set of tweaks that do increase swap performance by noticeable margin. I'm testing it since yesterday and i noticed improved performance in multitasking and gaming ( games runs much smoother than before and applications switching is faster ) and i decided to share it with you.

Installation is very simple:

1. Download the attached file and unrar it.

2. Copy 21swap_tweaks to your sdcard or push it through ADB.

3. Copy 21swap_tweaks or push it into /system/etc/init.d/ directory.

4. Give 21swap_tweaks same permission like on the screen in the atachment.

using it on miroslav ICS, at the beginning I didn't noticed any improvement, but after some hours and some reboots the phone started working very well. Before it was sometimes very slow, sometimes blazing fast, now is a lot more balanced and stable. I tried also to increase overclock (before it was "stable" with the cpu up to 729 mhz, now I'm using it at 744, and it seems stable).

Thank you very much! This resuscitated my phone like supercharger did when I was on CM7!

Well, it doesn't change the behavior or abilities of your cpu max. Overclock. You should have been able to use the same frequency as before this patch.

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] andreas__:
No need for script manager.

Init.d means running on boot.

It works automatically
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] shadovraven:
You can check if the script is loaded or not by typing this in the terminal:

cat /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure

If it does return 100 then it's working.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] ssanyi:
It's showing me just 50... :-(
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] TMinh:
Me 70. Wtf???
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] shadovraven:
Then the script doesn't work or there's something that changes value of vfs_cache_pressure ( unless you've modifed it manually ) Open the script with root explorer and check value of swappiness ( default is 80 ) and then type cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness in the terminal to see if the swappiness value is same as the one in the script.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] ssanyi:
Yes, swapiness is 80 as in the script, but vfs cache pressure is still 50 for me (and no, I haven't modified it)...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] marC00Linho:

Did everything right and it works nice.

Hello.

Right now I have a phone with Euro 2.3.3 firmware, which was installed before I bought the phone most likely using Gold Card.

I want to install 4.0 Stock Euro firmware.

Yesterday I got myself S-OFF, Revolutionary, CWM Recovery, Root.

What are my options now?

I was considering doing XTC Clip S-OFF, and then just flashing latest 4.0 for Europe.

or installing BlackRose HBoot, updating firmware to Euro 2.3.5 using zip/RUU (dunno which one), and then maybe updating to 4.0 (via FOTA??).

So what exactly should I do best?

Please don't suggest custom ROMs. Thank you
[HTC Incredible S] naathaanb96:
why do a xtc clip s off when you already have s off ?

and you need to change your CID to the one that is recieving ota updates. its a bit of mucking around so you wanna make sure you know what your doing. id just wait until the official ruu comes out it will be alot easier to install. i think @tpbklake has gotten it to work
[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
XTC clip gives you radio s-off, sim unlock and superCID. The problem is it's not free :o
[HTC Incredible S] mr nick:
I have now got the euro OTA installed on my Australian Virgin phone with CID OPTUS002 so it is definitely possible to do it. If you look in the "any news regarding OTA ICS update" thread around page 36 onward you will see a couple of posts by myself and @tpbklake about how we managed it.
[HTC Incredible S] SergSlim:
Maybe I should just make a backup with Titanium, make a Gold Card, revert back to S-ON and flash the RUU using goldcard?

Then somehow I need to restore stuff from titanium on 4.0
[HTC Incredible S] mr nick:
That's pretty much what I did. I installed this ROM and then forced the OTA onto it. I then rooted and rebooted, all apps loaded from the market and then I used titanium to restore the missing bits.
[HTC Incredible S] SergSlim:
Would be nice to get a step-by-step guide for noobs on how to do it. :)
[HTC Incredible S] mr nick:
No real need to follow the method I used of forcing the OTA on to an older RUU. Just get the latest full ICS RUU that's now available and use the steps you've posted. Much easier than the way I did it.
[HTC Incredible S] siddroid:
Can you share the link where the full ICS RUU is posted?
