[Droid 2 Global General] Don_S:
OK... my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to do the above tweaks. I did the Radiocomm radio driver tweak and the "wrong UMTS" tweak and my phone is still alive, YAY!

I am having a problem with tweaking the 3G settings, though. The instructions are confusing. In the beginning of the instructions, it says "Open root explorer (or whices) and navigate to /data, long click local.prop and scroll down to open in text editor. at the end of local.prop add the following lines and an extra empty line at the end, then reboot." However, lower down in the instructions, it says "again, save this at the end of build.prop WITH an extra empty line at the end, reboot and you're done". I've looked in my phone and there are two separate files named local.prop and build.prop. So, which one should be edited to perform the tweak?
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
yes that could be clearer, edit both
[Droid 2 Global General] Don_S:
Just to be clear... I put the same additional lines of text into both build.prop and local.prop, right?

Also, is there some way of importing these files into a PC, edit the files on the PC and then upload back to the phone, or does it have to be done on the phone using Root explorer or something like it?
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
yes, put the same additional lines of text into both build.prop and local.prop
[Droid 2 Global General] Don_S:
Thanks! You replied as I was editing my previous post..Can editing these files be done on a PC and then uploaded to the phone or does it have to be done on the phone itself using Root explorer or similar app?
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
you should be able to copy the files with

root browser, to sd card, then to pc, edit

delete original files and paste edited files,

you need to check the file permissions,(long press) before deleting originals

and change edited files to match, if they are different
[Droid 2 Global General] Don_S:
Thank you! that was very helpful. I don't have Root browser, but have Root browser lite and ES file explorer. I will see if they have the options to carry out the functions specified in your pictures.
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
with es file explorer

you need to enable root browsing

maybe different depending on version

open es file explorer >menu> settings

check boxes

up to Root

root explorer

mount file system

and you may want to change home directory from '/sdcard/' to just '/'

then long press on local or build.prop

select properties

it will show permissions as rw-r--r-- format, tap change to view table format
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
build.prop is the file you need to edit.

You don't need to touch local.prop.
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
Gasai says just edit build.prop, so just edit build.prop

she knows a lot more than me, about gms and editing files
[Droid 2 Global General] Don_S:
Thank you both for your input. The tweaks are all done and everything is hunky-dory now!

Questions about CD for rooting

I have downloaded the CD version provided by sd_shadow, (D2G_4.5.629_SBF-and-RootCD.iso), burned it to a USB key and booted it. When it came to the menu, it displayed

1. Flash 4.5.629

2. Reboot your phone

3. Exit.

Does item 1 do the Flash and 2 the root process, or are they mis-labeled and 1 actually does start the rooting process?

When I tried to download from this site, I got a message that you had not given me permission to do the download. Perhaps I was not yet registered with you folks?

Also, when I do root the phone, will all of my current apps be there?

This is the first time I am trying to root my phone and want to make sure I am doing it right!!!

Thanks... Tom.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
“Reboot” and “root” are different words with different meanings.

You need option 1.
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
no you want option 2 root (not reboot)

that link has reached it's free download limit

just use links on my page

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

option 1 flash SBF, is only needed if phone is not working correctly
[Droid 2 Global General] bhigham:
I haven't looked at the CD in a long time, did I accidentally put Reboot instead of Root, or is that a typo?
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
no, cd is correct

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

but you did leave option 4, an unknown mystery

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

rooting only gives you root access, which is like administrative access on a pc, default on android is just user access

no user data will be effected, by rooting

after you root, install D3 Bootstrap and make a nandroid backup

follow [HOW TO] Install/Use Droid 2 Bootstrap
[Droid 2 Global General] bhigham:
Yeah, I had a couple of errors on that CD, but since they didn't seem to be causing any issues, I never got around to fixing them. I also forgot to include the instructions for putting the phone in bootloader, and had to include them in the instructions in OP instead.

If you think it would be worth it, I can update the CD to have the right instructions, but it didn't seem to be causing any issues, so I never bothered.
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
I don't think that is necessary, doesn't seem to cause too many problems

how much trouble would it be to make a

ezSBF for DX with 3.3.4/4.5.621 sbf plus the root?

I may have a working DX in a few days
[Droid 2 Global General] bhigham:
Should be doable, send me a link for the SBF, and I will try to throw it together, if you can test it and host it somewhere.

Should basically just be a matter of changing a few lines to match the DX file names, instead of the D2 filenames.

Thanks for the many replies.

[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
bhigham has updated the

D2G_4.5.629_SBF-and-RootCD.iso

He removed the 4th mystery option, and some code cleaning, to avoid the errors some people were getting.

Neither bhigham nor I, currently have a D2G .

So if someone could test and report back, that would be great.
[Droid 2 Global General] Don_S:
Help! My recently rooted and band unlocked D2G has suddenly started acting up. I had powered it off for a couple of days and now when I power it on, it goes to the bootloader screen:

Bootloader

D0.11

Battery OK

OK to Program

Connect USB

Data Cable

I can get into stock recover and have tried wiping cache and rebooting, but it goes back into the Bootloader screen.

It was working perfectly when I powered it down a couple of days ago and have done nothing since except try to power it on today. Please help me get my D2G working again. Thanks!
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
several things could cause your problems

installed a incompatible app

removed a required app

changed a setting that caused system to be unstable

you can try any of the following

boot in safe mode I never had much luck with that, but worth trying

wipe data in android recovery

flashing ezSBF 629
[Droid 2 Global General] Don_S:
I figured out the problem I was having... I found out that if you tap on the "Recent Apps" button in the task bar, you get a drop-down menu where you can switch between "All apps", "recent Apps" and one other option (can't remember it at this moment). Previously, I was trying to swipe down on this icon and I was probably activating some other action. Glad that that mystery is now solved!

As far as the other problem with the phone always booting into the bootloader, I realized that it happened after I inserted a micro-SIM card in a regular SIM card adapter. It had worked fine previously, but there may have been a slight misalignment of the card as it was being inserted and that was what was causing the phone to keep booting into the bootloader. After I removed the SIM card + Adapter combo, the phone booted fine. I then re-inserted the SIM card / adapter combo and now it appears to be working fine again. Recognized the GSM SIM card and voice and data functions were verified to be functioning.

Would a misaligned SIM card cause the phone to keep booting into the bootloader?
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
could

sometimes when droids are rebooted, while connected to usb, will reboot to bootloader.
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
thanks bhigham

I have finally tested this myself, and it work perfect
[Droid 2 Global General] bhigham:
Great, I didn't think I had changed anything that would make it not work, but it is good to have it verified. I have been known to have typos, such as when I just told someone that 629 is "not" rootable, when I meant to say it is "now" rootable. Just one little letter difference, but it totally changes the whole meaning of the sentence.

Please Help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] id_mew:
Just put CWM.zip on ur sd card and flash it.

Twrp should be replaced with CWM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
or just flash through rom manger...its the lastest crw recovery..it will work..I just installed twrp and can still go back to crw thru rom manager

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tyler79durdan:
I found cwm sketchy with backups and switched back to braways. I had cwm touch installed and ROM manager(finally supported) but the issues were too many.

I found using "flash touch recovery" from my tools in aospxxx works nicely.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lildaddym:
How is this done? I have it on my SD card, but get an error if I tap to install...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
An error you say?

That's specific...

What....error?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lildaddym:
You are right! I should have been more specific! I know better! The error is: "No applications can perform this action."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Are you sure that's a recovery flashable zip, and not just a zipped up .tar package for Odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lildaddym:
The file contains a directory called META-INF and recovery.img...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
That's for recovery, the Mets-inf folder is the script to write the recovery.img

That's weird, You may try downloading the zip fresh, or if ask else fails grab the Odin flashable tar and use that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lildaddym:
Now, I can run TWRP and run it from there without any ill effects (meaning, a bricked phone!), yes?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Yup.

Given you download the correct file for this device.

If that still fails, which I dunno why I would, it should go without saying The Odin file, will need Odin a pc and a Usb cable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lildaddym:
Thanks for all of your help so far! Please forgive the noob question, but where do I find the file you're referring to? I have Odin and the proper cable...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1584576

That has the Odin flashable cwm touch file... that version is outdated so after flashing that, you'll have cwm, but flashing a newer Rom zip might end up with a "status 7 error" in recovery.

At that point I'd personally use goo manager go grab the latest version of a cwm zip, that'll be usable in the version of cwm I posted above.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lildaddym:
Are you saying I should _not_ use TWRP to put CWM on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
No, it should work, just saying if it still gives you the proverbial finger, Odin is your friend and that version is just the latest with an Odin .tar

So to have your cake (cwm) and eat it too (flash new roms) you'll need to update your recovery from that older version of cwm :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
So you said you get an error when you tap to install? You should be flashing that zip in recovery like you would a ROM or mod. Is that what you did? After it installs just reboot recovery within twrp and bam!!! You'll have cwm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lildaddym:
Thanks so much for your help...my problem remains, so I may go back to a stock ROM for T-Mobile, since that is my provider, and see if I can solve it... :( Before I installed CWM, I could sms/mms to my e-mail address...I can't any longer.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom4s:
Hello,

I am noob and I am thinking to publish a really cool app in android market and I am thinking, is it worth to install ads (like admob I guess) in your app to earn money? Let's say I have 10k users who approximately open my app 2 times a day (20k impressions daily), how much could I earn from admob? Is there something better than admob? Or it's just not worth it (plus you annoy people with having ads in your app)? Thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlyfar:
What exactly your app about? After reading some articles about admob success stories (and counterparts) it seems to me that it worth using mostly in game applications.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markuzy:
If your app is accessed for periods of time significantly like games or social media, then yes, ads.

If it is usually something that people run once or twice like settings or themes types, then you are better off providing a pro paid version or just one paid version.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom4s:
Any more comments maybe?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayp33:
i just googled a little and it seems the money doesn't come from the number of ads that people look at, but from the number of ads that are clicked (CTR, click-through-rate). i for once am quite skeptical about making any decent amount of money from ads in android apps. why? i have never clicked on an ad. shame on me. ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DArtLV:
I use inner-active.com , I don't know which one is better, because I haven't use AdMob. We published our app before 2days and there's only 1 click :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom4s:
If anyone else has something to say, I would really appreciate that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
My opinion on the matter is that there is probably not a lot of revenue to be had from ads. As mentioned above, you only get paid when the add is clicked. I for one have clicked an ad once, and that was by accident because the screen on my phone is small. Most people I think will not click the ads in apps, making it just annoying for your users. Personally, I would rather pay £0.99 or whatever and get an app with no ads than get a free app with ads.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faiz Malkani:
Contrary to that, my wifi hack has got a pretty good return from AdMob in month 1
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kumkwat:
My cost/install was way too high on a free game when I tried it out. I'd say ads is not the best way to go when promoting a new game as you also have to consider quality of user which you'll get more of through reviews or social media.

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

I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with file transfer (Android filetransfer app on macbook). I'm using the cable that came with the phone (VZW, 32GB blue) and transferred about 10GBs of songs from a folder on the mac to the phone.

The problem was that every so often, the transfer would just hang and I had to unplug the phone and plug it back in and then resume. That was happening at random points (after 30MB, 400MB, 140MB) and a retry always succeeded.

I've done the same with the GalNexus (also vzw) on the same computer and didn't have the problem.

Is anyone else experiencing the issue? Have you done something to help it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imranb_001:

Thanks for the reply but this is mac, so no drivers necessary for android phones. I was wondering if it has something to do with the bug where you have to use the camera MTP mode on the phone to perform file transfer (as opposed to the default media mtp)

Maybe something is working in the background in the phone or mac thats causing the slowdown
