I personally think the skins are easier than the theme chooser apks to an extent. The trickiest to get at times can be the .9's. Once you get them it's not bad at all. Finding things in the xmls can be a challenge at times too. Each one has its own challenges though (sense and aosp) ... It's just a matter of seeing where everything is and goes. Feel free to pm me if I can be of any help.

I read that one, and many others. It's not a lack of knowledge that is keeping me from this, however i know nothing about code, it is really just a lack of motivation, time, and energy. and being a dev is a somewhat thankless position. for as many thanks as they get they get just many F U 's, why does GSM no work, blah blah blah. i have a ton of respect for them, they get **** on constantly.

lol, it does seem that way at times :eek:

when releasing work (be it roms/themes/kernels/mods) except to get **** on by a small handful of people via posts or pm's...and have people ignore your previous posts and answers (or in my case a faq section) and ask the same question 9000 times in a thread

most of us do it cuz we like it and have the time for it...there are those clearly in it for the donation$ and glory (i can think of a handful of them off the top of my head....and it would probably surprise you) but thats crap imo

its always nice to see people want to get involved or try to do so...but usually the most prohibitive factor is time...it takes awhile to get familiar with this stuff, and even longer to work on it
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
Exactly my friend. I am super lazy at stuff like this, but this time around I really have no time, with my grad work and all. And, for whatever reason, I ALWAYS take forever to do the simplest things in coding... So, something that may take an hour for you, may easily take me 5-8 hours and it is NOT because of me being new to this. Even in projects where I knew what I was doing, I am very slow at coding and I don't know why... So, given the severe lack of time, now is not a good time for an android project. I wish I had an android phone a few years back, when I was much more free and really searching for things to do... I ended up making a toy app for my iPod Touch... That was really fun! But, I could tell that I was bad at it too! :/ :( :cry:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_nUUb:
Hi everyone!

I have a HTC HD7 with Dynamics7 1.21 ROM. I have 2 PCs, on one i can sync my phone with Zune, on the other one Zune shows the message "No devices connected" (I'm from Austria, but I think the translation is OK^^)

working PC: Widows 7 Professional x64

other one: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

The phone is detected properly in Device Manager (driver version 4.8.2345.0).

Zune launches automatically when I connect the phone.

The USB port is working properly, because other devices are working (mouse, usb-stick, card reader, external hdd).

I have uninstalled VMware Player, libusb-driver, dlportio-64-driver, MSI OverClockingCenter, MSI GreenPowerCenter and reinstalled Zune (uninstall, reboot, install).

As I remember, everything was working fine some months ago, but I don't know what I changed until now. Please help me.

If you need more information I'll provide it.

Thanks in advance,

Mr nUUb

EDIT: I also reinstalled the drivers and deleted the contents of "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA". I tried to delete the certificates via certmgr.msc but I can't find them there.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdsolorio:
So, my kindle fire is rooted and everything. I have FFF (1.4a) installed on it as well as twrp. When I go to KFU, it always takes too long waiting because it can't enter the fastboot mode. I've been poking around and nothing has really been any help. Is there any way of just deleting fff from my kindle by using something like root explorer? If so, what's the path to get to this? Is there any simple way to uninstall FFF from my device? Or is there a shortcut to getting into TWRP without having to reboot?

I tried a factory reset, but that didn't even unroot my kindle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially that in Lamen's terms. :)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dasanko:
I couldn't make sense out of any of that.

What are you trying to achieve exactly? The removal of FFF and TWRP? Going back to stock?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdsolorio:
Sorry, what I was asking is can I remove fff or is there a way to access twrp without rebooting.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
The easiest way to go back to stock (without TWRP or FFF) would be to download this .bin from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620 and rename it to update.zip and flash it like a normal ROM through TWRP, I would also suggest wiping for good measure. I am not sure why you don't want to reboot though, that part perplexes me...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdsolorio:
Well, the issue is that i can't access TWRP to flash anything. FFF is preventing me from getting to that point.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
What happens when you try to go to recovery through FFF?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdsolorio:
Okay, so I'll turn my kindle on. It'll say Kindlefire and then it says "Press power button to access boot menu". I press it, three options appear. Normal boot, recovery, and Reset Boot Mode . If i hit recovery, it'll reboot and take me back to the Kindlefire. It just loops like that.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danscxda:
Have you tried holding down the power button when you first turn it on until it turns from green to orange?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdsolorio:
All it does is power off.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
So if you are currently running stock which you rooted... I would again suggest to download the .bin file above from amazon and drop it into the "kindleupdates" folder on your sdcard then go to settings>device and click on the update button which should now be highlighted.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdsolorio:
Okay. Ill have to reroot it, right? Thank you so much.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdsolorio:
Okay, will I need to reroot?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dasanko:
Sounds to me like you may not have TWRP installed - can you reinstall it?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
Yes, you will have to reroot using KFU but it should be fairly easy once you're back to stock
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
just a side note rooting is not required to install twrp and fff simply just select those options from kindle fire utility and custom recovery twrp and the fff bootloader will be added to your device

[HTC EVO 3D] patrick92260:
If you have radio s-off then yes you can downgrade by running a GB RUU.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
You have to be rooted and s-off to downgrade.

Care to explain why you think ICS is "not good enough"?
[HTC EVO 3D] mutimuti:
3d video playback has some problems. not good as gb stock rom. i cant play 3d videos like previous rom.sometimes after play 3d video i cant play 2d video. this rom has hardware decoder problem i guess.

if i root and s-off, am i going to just run ruu rom program on fastboot section and it will downgrade my rom? or i need to do somethings else too?
[HTC EVO 3D] patrick92260:
no need to root if you have radio s-off. Just run the GB RUU from your computer or put the rom in a zipped PG86IMG and put it on the SD card and install it from hboot. you could install it via fast boot but no need to. in all cases you must have radio s-off tho.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Every ICS rom I've tried works perfectly. Video playback is actually better with ICS than GB. Maybe try a different ICS rom.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] invazn12:
Hi, first let me give you the background of my phone.

I bought it off eBay used and it came in an almost perfect condition, preinstalled with Gingerbread 2.3.6. The only problems known with the phone is that it won't get recognized by Samsung Kies, but it does by my PC. Onto the problem...

My friend introduced me to the Cyanogen Mod 9, telling me it could increase battery life, performance, etc. I was interested and wanted to install this mod. I first rooted my phone with a Zip off a tutorial and that worked flawlessly and I had Super User. I then installed Rom Manager and proceeded to installing the mod. He gave me two zips to put into my SD card to install for the Cmod and Google Play. Long story short, after wiping cache, data user, and every other wipe before installing these two zips, I was stuck in a boot loop with the Samsung Logo and Cyanogen Mod 9 Animation. I didn't think much of it and turned off my phone for the night, leaving it for the morning.

This morning, I tried going to Download Mode and flashing a stock os with Odin3 and it went from boot loop to soft bricked. It gave me a message to connect the phone to Samsung Kies in order for it to before restored, but the problem is that the phone isn't recognized by the program. I tried .tar files and it led to nothing on Odin3 because it wouldn't get past "Get Pit for Mapping...". I tried numerous times and on one occasion, I accidentally had Re-Partition ticked but the flash didn't go through so I unplugged my device. After that, the phone turned off and no response after that.

It won't turn on, no device recognized through USB or Odin3. I tried the wall charger to see if it was the battery's fault but it led to nothing. What are my options in reviving my Samsung Galaxy S2 ? :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
Yikes. Sounds hard bricked. I think your only option is to pay to get try a jtag recovery. Search the board on that.

Sorry man.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
I agree. Not a lot of options especially since warranty will be difficult without proof of purchase.

For future reference (for you and anyone else in this situation) the boot loop you experienced is due to cwm v5.0.2.7 not wiping caches correctly. After flashing an ics rom, if you are running this recovery, you have to flash the darkside cache wipe to get the rom to boot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] invazn12:
Thanks for the replies! I was wondering how reputable is MobileTechVideos on doing JTAG repairs on bricked phones. Also, do you have a tutorial on how I can try to install Cyanogen Mod 9 again with the Dark Side cache wipe so i wont get the same problem again? Thank you.

Hi,

I have been installing cynogenmode 9 nightly builds on my samsung galaxy s2 (i9100) using Rom Manager .

I want to retain this setup on my phone ( rom manager + root + clockworkmod). Can I flash original stock ICS using ROM Manager ?

I want to retain my capability of flashing nightly builds of cm9 using rom manager.

Thanks,

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
no but what you want can be done multiple ways...

but you should skip rommanager

1: flash Stock ROM using ODIN

2: root using cfroot

you get root + cwm

if you go stock to cm9 to stock back frequently

1: flash stock cwm flashable rom (you should have cwm with it)

2: flash cm9

3: flash stock cwm version
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmittal:
Thanks a lot Atifish .

can you please explain your point number 1

"flash stock cwm flashable rom (you should have cwm with it)"

it would be great if you can share url or link also for this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If you have decided to go with CM 9,you should go with the release candidate ( RC 1) very stable, no bugs this far , used it for 3 days

---------- Post added at 03:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 AM ----------

I dident understand either but root with Cf-root by chainfire( if your not already rooted) and just flash the roms In CWM
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
When you make a stock ROM, compatible to be flashed using cwm, and just add root/cwm you get that.

There are few of those roms, search for it in Android development.

If you're into rooting and installing custom ROMs = any of the two, altough I prefer the Nexus.

If not rooting and installing custom ROMs = the Nexus.

Why? You don't have to deal with (quite frankly) the ugliest damn UI in the android world (with Motoblur and MIUI sharing the second place). Nexus devices are pure Google (altough most Galaxy Nexuses are plagued with Samsung specific firmware version) (yakjuxw, yakjukr, yakjuux, so on so forth)

Plus the Galaxy Nexus has a larger and more beautiful screen, bigger resolution, looks better, software touch buttons (the navbar). So what if the Samsung S2 has a better GPU? I bet it wouldn't perform all too well either with 720p resolution..

Well, there is of course the official dev-unlock. That will let you install a limited number of XAP files. The tool to apply the unlock is called Windows Phone Developer Registration, and is part of the WP7 SDK. You need to have an AppHub account, though, and those typically either cost money (US$99/year, 10 app limit) or are only available to students (via Dreamspark, free but 3 app limit).

There aren't currently any interop-unlocks or bootloader-unlocks (for custom ROMs) known on the Lumia 610.
