Hey guys,

Ultra Noob here cutting my teeth in the forums. I'm trying to build the best phone I can since I will probably be using it.....foooooorrrrrrreeeeeevvvveeeerrrrr....... We switched to a new tmob plan that we dont get upgrades. Its way cheaper but...sad...

Anywho... I'm looking for way to really jazz this bad boy up. whats your guys favorite programs to maximize this thing and customize it as well?

I currently have it running the andromadus cm10 nightly from Flinny from here and I have downloader a few programs to unlock titanium pro, sms restore and back pro, Lucky patcher, use androzip, poweramp full, scoremobile...i dunno what else to put just looking to my more knowlageable counterparts.

Thanks!

I use LBE security, try to get an older version though. It allows you to configure security for all apps installed on your phone. You can block or allow certain permissions. Like for example, Tweetcaster & Soundhound frequently request your location, you can disable that, or not allow a certain app to read your call logs, or get your IMEI number, or contacts. Been using it for a while, I like the control it gives me.

I also recommend ROOT Toolbox Pro, it has a plethora of functions and extras for root users
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] alarmdude9:
Lbe security is awesome but I am a belt and suspenders kinda guy so I use droidwall as well just to be sure.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mjrfitz:
Had a strange thing happen to me today with my Skyraider Zeus 1.3 ROM. Had everything setup the way I like but then I decided to try and change my lockscreen ring. Found some from somewhere, suppose to work with 2.3.4 sense 2.1. Flashed in recovery and restarted and got my status bar with icons but no lock ring or shortcut icons or any way to unlock it. So I pulled the battery, went in to bootloader, then recovery and did a backup restore. Everything was fine after that...for a while. Then i plugged it in to charge it, shut the phone off (all the way, not fast boot) to charge for about 30 minutes, then restarted. When it restarted, I had just a red battery icon, no percentage numbers just my red icon circle. Then i noticed when the screen would time out and dim, it would never shut off. It just stayed on dim, forever (and no, I wasn't plugged in). Restarted...same thing. Pulled bat...same thing. Finally I tried another restore of the same ROM, but it went right back to the recovery menu instantly without doing anything, then tried 2 more backups with the same result. Finally I did a completely different ROM restore and it worked. When it opened I noticed the battery icon was doing the same thing, along with the display eventually dimming and staying on dim. Did a complete wipe, data, cache and dalvik 3 times, flashed the ROM again figuring it would fix it... but no. After a few minutes, the battery icon turned red again and then the display would time out (after the 30 seconds i set), go to dim and just stay on. After awhile it went back to normal again but then did it again. This has happened about 4 times in the past 2 hours. I don't know what I did but its got me worried. Do you think it could be some settings file stored on my SD card? Or possibly the batterystats.bin file? I am about to reset it and see if that helps. Honestly, I don't know what is going on. I just hope its not hardware related. Its just coincidental that after my bad flash of the lockscreen ring that it happened, so i figured it was a software issue. Sorry so long guys, just in a bit of a panic right now :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] casseer15:
just do a full wipe and reflash the rom
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mjrfitz:
I did that. I wiped everything out 3 times just to make sure and reflashed the ROM, like I stated above. Strange though, I haven't seen the issue reappear since the first couple hours of my reflash, since then its been ok. I guess ill just wait and see if it starts to happen again.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kwick85:
Definition of Full Wipe

Just making sure you know what a full wipe is and allowing others to Search Full Wipe and know what it means. When I fist started flashing I wasn't quite sure what Full Wipe meant.

Here are the instructions:

In Clockwork Recover

scroll to mounts and storage

select format /system -> Yes - Format

---Done---

Select format /data -> Yes - Format

--Done--

Select format /cache-> Yes - Format

--Done--

Now you may flash a new rom
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mjrfitz:
That is different from what I was doing. Though I am not new to flashing (almost a year) I have heard and read other posts through the months about people saying "do a full wipe" then saying "wipe data/factory reset wipe cache and dalvik cache". If this is the case there is a lot of people doing full wipes wrong. Hell I've even seen developers mention full wipes in this way. Not saying that your wrong, im just honestly not sure whats correct. But I am curious, what is the difference between the two? Is it because its formatting and the other is just wiping, or when its wiping is it also formatting at the same time? If that's the case wouldn't it be the same thing, just in a different way? You've peaked my curiosity :confused:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kwick85:
This isn't my list, but there are good explanations on the thread that I found, I cannot post the link due to my lack of postings but if you goolge: Full Wipe Spider

It should be the first search item.

Enjoy your new found knowledge.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
Especially moving from Sense to AOSP, I format /system, /data, /cache. Usually, I do all three no matter.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geckø:
Hi,

i try to enable EAP-SIM support on my Defy+. For the moment i have find only one solution:

Edit wpa_supplicant.conf, founded in /system/etc/wifi/.

I have added this entry at the end of file:

network={
ssid="FreeWifi_secure"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
eap=SIM
priority=5
}

Saved the file and reboot my phone. That doesn't work, but it work on many phone. How i can enable EAP-SIM support on my phone or just for one SSID (FreeWifi_secure)?

Thx in advance, Geckø
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geckø:
Hi,

i have found wpa_suppliant.conf in /data/misc/wifi/

When i try to connect on SSID FreeWifi_secure the WIFI application add this into this file:

network={
ssid="FreeWifi_secure"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
priority=5
}

I have edited this entry and changed eap method to SIM but that doesn't work. I got always fail message and disconnected status.

Actually i think the best way is add SIM into the available options in the wireless setting but i don't find how i can make it :/

Any informations/help are welcome :)

Thx in advance, Geckø

I've had multiple reboots of my phone without doing anything to it lately, also one time it just shut itself off and it took me like five minutes to get it on again. Any ideas?
[HTC Titan] ArtieQ:
Now it seems to be stuck on the "Windows Phone" page when booting up with the dots going from left to right, what the **** is this :S
[HTC Titan] ArtieQ:
I did a hardreset via the bootloader thingy and now my back, home and search buttons don't work..
[HTC Titan] Tachi91:
It is customary in XDA that when reporting issues to inform things like;

Radio

ROM

Usage

Any apps installed before the issue started.

I had random reboots on my titan before in the past. Phone would freeze and restart eventually it got to the point where even after a hard reset it would freeze. I narrowed it down to the Phone trying to connect to 3G even though I live in an area that T-Mobile has not re-farmed.

On an unrelated note, I've noticed my Edge speed have had a slight speed bump, heres hoping it's a sign.

[HTC Titan] AndyFZ1S:
I got my Titan back from HTC repair two weeks ago as the 3 capacitive bottom buttons didn't work, Never did find out why? After receiving it from repair they worked but the screen decided to go off when it wanted and would not come back on no matter what I did and the rear of phone got super hot, I finally fiddled with sim card tray and found if you moved the sim card in the tray it shut the screen off loose connection etc, So it went back again, Recieved it Yesterday from its second repair having a new screen fitted and proximity sensor???? and the three buttons at bottom did not work again, So I was half way through a real *****y email to Customer support when it suddenly started working after leaving it for around ten minutes, There was also a long delay after boot before the main homescreen appeared, I did have to hard reset three times before it sorted itself out, Very strange stuff, Anyway I didnt send the email as it is all working now, Fingers crossed it has been stable since and has over half the memory full, So maybe have a fiddle with the sim card tray or hard reset via boot load screen and hopefully it will work again. :confused:

There are steps that much be completed within Dropbox after you register on you GNote. Once you complete all the steps they upgrade you for two years. A quick search would have revealed this info.

Greetings,

People seem to be comparing the S3 mini to the S2, which i find to be a little bit strange, I seem to have found out that it support much less Bluetooth profiles than the S2 I9100 phone. But I have a few questions for you guys, on gsmarena it is indicated that it will NOT support USB Host or USB OTG which is a requirement for me, can anyone confirm this or not? Also, if it does support USB OTG, will it use the old MHL connector or the new one that permits to use HDMI and USB at the same time?

Thanks for the help!

[HTC Radar] mudher25:
So I'm trading my Nexus S for a HTC Radar, and the first thing I want to know is for HSPL, how many people suceeded?

I mean is it hard to do it perfectly and not brick it, or is it like rooting where the chances are 70% no and 30% yes.... Also wondering if there's a video that someone made for noobs on how to do it? Cause I want to use a 7.8 rom, and I also need a XAP installer so I want to do that on like day 1 or at least in the first week I have it..
[HTC Radar] DarkSeL:
I rooted my ICS tablet and my WP7 Radar.

Theyr're both the same difficulty, but there are more steps to unlocking the Radar. For my Tab, I only had to turn on developer mode or whatever it was called and run a windows program.

If you want to HSPL unlock it right when you get it, you'll need some tools.. (Y Cable, USB SD card reader, female-usb to female-usb) They totaled 5 dollars for me. Not bad.

It was not hard though. IDK about the RISK but it worked for me easily. Yes, I wanted a video tutorial at first but there just wasnt one. Most videos online are for the HD2, which is a different story.

I have WP 7.8 and it's great! Glad you're switching to WP.....

P.S. why not wait for WP8?
[HTC Radar] mudher25:
Mostly cause being a 16 year old kid that still doesn't have a job, I can't afford phones on release date haha.. so I thought why not start out with WP7 .. plus I'm guessing apps run on C++ which is easier than Java to me so I thought maybe I could try building my own small apps after I'm done learning everything that matters :silly:

any possible way you could make a small video? or pm me very noobish details? cause I'm really getting confused haha.. yeah I only rooted my phones with either a flasher like ODIN or cmd...
[HTC Radar] DarkSeL:
Here's the thing... WP7 apps I think can't be written in C++.... That's a Windows Phone 8 feature.

You should look at low end WP8 devices, which should still run great. Maybe look at the HTC 8 S or Lumia 8xx... I'm not sure how much they are but I'd guess a 100 dollars more than the Radar or something.....

Edit: it's pretty easy once you get started... Just get the 3 things I listed above then everything should be easy.

WP7 uses something a lot like Silverlight or C#/vb.net .... Again, I only started learning a while ago then stopped because of school.
[HTC Radar] mudher25:
I can't seem to find y-cables in the stores nearby.. is it ok to use a USB Hub? ..

You can try making your own. I tried it but failed... Can't you order one from Amazon? they're cheap there.

I've been a lurker here for some time.

I'm part of the minorty who don't have a dataplan but I do want the ability to send and receive mms messages.

For this reason I have mainly used MIUI-based roms in the past. I can, with other roms, (such as CM-based ones) manually turn on and off data to grab or send the messages but I'd like something more automated.

From what I gather there are a couple alternatives and neither seem ideal.

1.) use an app - I have seen references to APNandroid though I haven't tried it.

2.) use tasker or some scripting to automate turning on and off data only when mms is sent or received

Is there anything else that can be done?

Is MIUI's method just a hardcoded implementation of #2 above?

Thanks for looking.

I've been playing with this thing all day and getting very frustrated. I rooted and unlocked my new s3 ok, used Root Checker to verify. Installed CWM and installed the last Oct 12 Synergy (Synergy_d2vzw_11Oct12_2117_r74_s.zip.zip). After doing so I start up Play Store to install all my apps and they all just sit there waiting to download updates. Doesn't matter if on WiFi or 3g. Once in a while between rebooting or switching network modes I can get one or two to download and update and think that it's working now, but then nothing will download again. I've tried clearing Play Stores cache and data through the app manager, also removed/reinstated my Google account.

Oh, and I do have internet access, I can browse the web in the browser and Play Store does come up with any app I search for to install, just sits there with a long flashing bar without actually downloading it.
