Is there a way to make external sounds turn off (email, text, etc...) when I start a program? I tried tasker but I wasn't able to turn off the email sounds. Any hints, tips, suggestions?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
IDK of any that does it automatically, however with one extra step "Simple Sound Profile Widget" is hands down my all-time favorite Android program and it's free.

You can create as many profiles as you want with it and easily switch them...

I purchased Titanium Pro. I know its an extremely efficient, powerful, and useful tool to have, especially for one that flashes often. But I am second guessing whether I am using it the right way. My current method seems a little bit tedious and inefficient.

Example, I do a full batch backup of my user apps & system data, easy enough. Then on a fresh ROM I would install TBU. But it doesn't seem I have a backup of my apps and data. I would then have to extract from nandroid backup. Then I would browse the created list and select the apps / data I want to restore. After restoration my user defined settings are gone, on default.

I have tried the complete batch backup. And via the same extract from nandroid backup, and rather than selecting each item, I just restored everything at once. Afterwards, I would experience strange things and a lot of FC. I suspected that may be because it was loading up apps/data that is not this newer ROM (ie apps that was baked in, ROM specific system apps), I don't know that this is the real reason because don't know enough to confirm it.

Am I using it correctly or is there a better way to it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
I use the free version, but I assume most things are the same. If you backed up all your apps and data, then I think maybe the memory storage was flipped around when you installed the new rom. Look in both your internal (emmc) and external sd cards for a folder called TitaniumBackup. This should hold all of your apk backups, along with the data associated with them. If you launch Titanium and nothing is found, then try copying that TitaniumBackup folder from the sd card it's currently located on over to the other sd card. All of your apps and data should then be found in the app under the Backup/Restore tab.

Edit: I assume you already know this but in the Backup/Restore tab, scroll down the list until you get to the crossed out apps. Those are the ones that you have backed up but not currently installed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
Make sure you save your backup to sdcard. And if you flash a new Rom. You don't normally want to restore system files.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Sometimes even restoring apps + data can cause certain apps to FC or misbehave. But as they have said make sure your backups are in the SD card

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghdroiduser:
I'm new to the world of Android and rooting...I have an HTC Thunderbolt with all of the updates and completed the root process using a one-click program found on a different XDA thread. This program allows rooting without any file loss or software downgrades (hope I'm correct??)

With that said...First: how do I verify that my Thunderbolt is rooted? Does the 'SuperUser' app verify the process was successful or do I have to check somewhere else?

From here, what apps would I use to increase phone performance (slow screen refresh, etc.?) and what other enhancements can I change (tired of waiting for ICS)??

Thanks for any help and guidance that can be provided,

ghdroiduser
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woodt94:
There's an app called root checker in the market that you could use. As far as enhancements go there aren't very many apps you can get to better performance. You could get a root uninstaller to remove useless apps that you otherwise couldn't get rid of. Best way to get a better phone going is to flash a custom Rom. There are a few roms that have been developed that are ICS but don't have a working camcorder. Although, flashing these roms will cause you to lose your user data...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghdroiduser:
Will this Work...?

I read about an app called V6 supercharger, is this designed for HTC phones? If not, is there another app like it?

Where can I find out more about how rooting my phone let's me change the configuration? Do I have to uninstall and re-install my apps for the superuser function to take over?

Any help or guidance is appreciated...

Thank you,

ghdroiduser
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woodt94:
Hmm... never heard of that app. You don't have to uninstall apps for superuser to take affect although superuser doesn't do anything to typical apps that you would have had before you rooted. I'm really not sure of what you can do on a stock Rom. If I remember, the only time I had a rooted phone with a stock Rom I didn't do anything to it. The best option to better your performance is to install a custom Rom. Make a backup of your stock Rom in recovery in case you need to get back to it. Also, don't take any OTA updates while you are rooted because that will brick your phone and its quite the process to unbrick.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghdroiduser:
What next...Two

My inquiry from the other day was incorrect...v6 supercharger is a script for improving a rooted phone's memory performance, not an app...that would explain why some people were unfamiliar with the question. When I complete the rooting process, will my my have 'S-root' and what is 'S-root'?

Is this script better than 'smurf' once my device has been rooted?

Additionally, I would like to maximize the Thunderbolt's performance...what would be the next step??

I would like ICS on my phone, however, it seems that Verizon will never get this done...I see there are several roms available for ICS...are there are any roms that do not loose any of the phone's current functionality?? Can I install more than one rom like multiple booting a computer with more than one operating system??

I used a 'one-click' root program from a different xda forum.

HTC Thunderbolt w/ GB 2.3.4, Go Launcher EX

Thanks for any help or instructions that will assist me,

ghdroiduser
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
V6 supercharger does help with performance. The liquid ics roms are great and the only functionality you will lose is camcorder. Once you have it installed you can over clock the CPU if you want more performance although it really isn't necessary.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghdroiduser:
What next...Two

Thank you for your answer...Since I do not use the camcorder function, no great loss...

Are all of the Liquid ICS roms the same or is one source better than another?? What will happen to my phone once Verizon finally release the ICS update or any other update for that matter??

Is 'S-root' something that I have to install or configure? Or does it install/configure during the rooting process?

Again thanks for the help,

ghdroiduser
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
You must be talking about s off. S off is something that should be done during the rooting process to allow for the installation of aftermarket kernels and for changing radios. In the dev section there is a tool called the allinone thunderbolt tool that will do all of that. You really should get it and run that. There are two versions of liquid ics. One is the stock version and the other is jmod which is the one that sounds more up to speed for you. It comes with the supercharger script already in place so you don't have to do that yourself. Once you flash it you won't have to worry about the official release affecting you at all.

ghdroiduser
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Alright you're good to go. You do have s off which I wasn't sure of. What you need to do is download the rom OK. To get ready for flashing reboot into recovery by going into the boot loader the way I told you. Once there, press volume down so that it will let you choose something in that menu. Select bootloader. After that it will run a check to see if you have a radio update on your SD card. Once it finishes press volume down to highlight recovery. Press power. Once in recovery you need to wipe data cache and dalvik cache before flashing the rom. This is important. If you don't then it will either not boot or it will bootloop. I don't remember all of the menus in cwm because I haven't used it in so long. Go to the menu that let's you select the file for flashing. If you downloaded it from the phone then it will be in the download folder. Find the file and select it. It should prompt you if you want to flash it. Select yes and there you go. You're off into your first ics rom.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
Just to add dont get scared if it takes awhile to boot up once its done flashing and you reboot. Some roms can take a few min to fully boot. So when its on the splashscreen just let it be and let it load all the file you just flashed. Welcome to the world of rooting.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghdroiduser:
What next...Three

When I download the ROM, will I do this to my phone or on my p/c with a usb cable??

Are there any other precautions I should be aware of??

Also, I saw another post about using 4ext vs revolutionary...any thoughts??

Thank you for all of your help...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I would suggest using 4ext. Its easier to navigate since the recovery is touch enabled and the menus are organized better. Flashing the rom should be done from the phone although it is possible to do it from the PC I wouldn't recommend you trying that just yet. The main thing to remember when flashing a rom is always do a nandroid backup first. I did forget to tell you that. Also just remember to wipe data,cache and dalvik cache before you flash a rom unless the developer makes it clear that it is OK to flash over the current build.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
Not really as long as you wipe your caches and data you should be good to go. You can download the rom on to your phone or you can download on to your PC. Once on your PC you will have to transfer the file to your phone via the usb cable.

4ext is a nice touch screen recovery. So you dont have to wear out your vol rockers and power button. Its easy to install just need to download the app.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurby1:
is your bootloader maybe lock (hold power+vol down)

with this..

Checking SD

pd98xxx.zip

then says parsing....(SD ZIP)

then do i want to start the update?

It seems that its doing something like unlocking the bootloader or something, im actually confused!

how do i know if im s-off or s-on?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Above where it says FASTBOOT and such, there should be some other identifying information. It will say S-ON or S-OFF. However, if you used AAHK, you should be S-OFF. What happens if you say no to the update and choose RECOVERY? (Use volume keys to move up and down.) Does ClockworkMod start?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom010492:
its says S-Off,

i did use AAHK

I press the vol buttons but nothing seems to happen, but after 5 seconds it goes to the update screen, and if i press vol up or down, then it recognises im pressing the buttons.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
After you refuse the update, try to navigate to RECOVERY. If that works, you can then flash your ROM from inside CWM Recovery. It could just be a bad flash. If that still doesn't work, the download is probably bad. Just redownload it and reflash.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom010492:
If i refuse update, the only option that i can press is press power off for reboot. Thats it, there is no way to press recovery, unless i can go back to the first screen? but there is nothing visual that lets me do that.

I think im going to cry :( haha
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
My bad, I forgot that happens. Hey, don't worry. If I can't get it working, there's hopefully someone here who can.

Try moving that zip off the sdcard root. You should be able to do that with adb, which you should have with AAHK. ADB instructions are at the thread in my signature. Or, if you have an sdcard reader, use the to get the zip moved off the sdcard root. Place it in a folder in the sdcard.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom010492:
I think there is update.zip which is this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531218 on the sd card, but dont know what else, so shall i remove everything? when i plug my phone into the computer, the pc doesnt even detect it. I dont have a sd card reader either! So ill have a look at this so move whats on the sd to a folder on the sd just aslong as its not in the root?

Tom
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
I'm being startlingly stupid. Try removing the sdcard altogether and boot into HBOOT. After it boots, replace the sdcard and boot into recovery. Does that work? From there, you should be able to move the zip.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom010492:
Hi, when i remove the sdcard I can now move the vol buttons up and down and i put the sc card back in before pressing recovery, same thing happens goes to htc startup then browns out then black screen, tried again without putting it in and same thing.... :( so do you think i just need to remove update.zip?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
I think moving update.zip will at least help you figure out whether you have a working recovery. I'm not sure if you're getting into recovery; if you aren't, try booting into recovery before inserting the sdcard, then mounting it in recovery if it doesn't do so automatically.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:
Try entering recovery before putting the sd card back in.

Boot in fastboot (you should see fastboot usb in red in the phone when plugged)

Open a cmd session as admin

go to where the cwm.zip file is located (you should see something like c:\users\user\desktop)

type: fastboot oem rebootRUU (you will get a black screen with silver HTC)

fastboot flash zip cmw.zip (when you get OKAY.Finished near the bottom it is done)
