[Samsung Galaxy Mini] raensoe:
Hi guys, I just wanna ask about Rom Toolbox and ROM Manager.

° Is it safe to install Rom toolbox to our SG Mini?

° What are the risks, since it has Rom manager included in it?

° Why is it not safe to install Rom manager for our Mini?

° What are the risks?

° What would happen if I install or do any changes using it?

I think that would be all.

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tietganFTW:
1. It is safe if u just install ROM manager, but don't flash CWM using Rom Manager.

2. Whats the risk? It'll brick your phone.

3. Just by installing it, you will do no harm. But by flashing cwm using rom manager, you have a 99.9% chance of bricking your phone. By using it to flash roms doesn't brick your phone i think, not really sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] raensoe:
So I can use the other included features in ROM Toolbox? Why does rom manager brick galaxy mini by installing cwm? Just wondering :) but I heard someone successful installed cwm using it. He's the 1% :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tietganFTW:
It bricks ur phone because cwm for galaxy mini is not in the list of supported devices. Or something along those lines
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] raensoe:
But I can safely install custom rom in that app? I won't use it anyway, I just want to know :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tietganFTW:
Yes I guess u can. I tried it once with my stock rom. All tlit did was to reboot into recovery then flash... Which I could have done manually too. So its kinda useless for our device ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crullick:
tom toolbox

except for rom manager, i used almost every other feature of rom toolbox [pro] without a single problem

(fonts, bootanimation, backup/restore, root manager, sd boost....)

custom rom - MD Utility based on CM 7.2 nightly

Hi,

maybe some of you have experienced problems with incorrect time displayed in your synced calendar.(7hours for me)- Facebook Inside Xperia

I managed to decompile the code of FBCalendarSync.apk and fixed it.

If somebody is interested here is fix for central Europe (Berlin/Paris/Prague/Budapest/Bratislava)

Just replace FBCalendarSync.apk file in your /system/app folder

If you find it useful hit the thanks button. I can also change the fix for other timezone if somebody is interrested.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] happyBOY78:
I have same problem too and my solution is now via 3rd party app...but your solution is more clean and better....

Your app is from ICS or GB ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] earendilSK:
That's why I had to do it, I didn't like the 3rd party app in my phone when I have this nice stock one.

This app is from ICS but I'm pretty sure this fix will work for GB too.

Here is how I did it. If you have some problems let me know.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] happyBOY78:
I try it and works fine. All my FB events have correct time. Great :)

I have question about Daylight saving time.... when DST ended, time will be wrong 1 hour or not ?

[NON ENGLISH]

Po slovensky to zkoušet psát nebudu, ale česky snad nebude problém :) Jde mi o to, jestli při přechodu na zimní čas to bude funkční, nebo ne... Obecně je to občas docela pakárna, dobře zesynchronizovat nejen události s Google kalendářem například.

[/NON ENGLISH]
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] earendilSK:
Well, that is good question. But since I did it yesterday, I don't know yet if that would change something. We have to wait for Daylight saving time to end and see what happens :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MechaBouncer:
I'm in Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5:00). Would I change the value to "const/4 v4, -0x4" then? Thanks.

EDIT:

One more thing. Does this also fix birthdays appearing a day early? That has annoyed me greatly for a while and I keep wishing people a day early. (Although it could have been worse and I could get notices a day late.)

Thanks again!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] earendilSK:
Well, it seems your timezone GMT-5 corresponds to to one in the app by default. If it is not correct try to adjust the constant to meet your needs.

For me it fixed all the events including birthdays.

You can give it a try, but make sure you back up the original app first.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MechaBouncer:
I ended up deciding on another course of action: Export my Facebook Birthdays and Upcoming Events calendars and import them into my Google Calendar directly.

This ends up being more beneficial for a few reasons.

1. All events have the correct times and dates.

2. I can see all my calendar events in 1 place as opposed to having some in GC and some in FB.

3. I can access my GC from anywhere without the need of a special app.

4. I wasn't really using the Gallery Sync and the regular FB app has Contact Sync. So I can pretty much stop using Facebook Inside Xperia altogether, which is one less app consuming bandwidth and battery.

The only problem is that any events that are not Public (so Friends or Invite Only), do not show up by default in GC. They have Private tags on them. So I'm running my calendar through another server that converts all of the Private tags into Public and then feed that URL to GC. It's not ideal, but it works pretty well.

Eventually I may attempt to fix the Facebook Inside Xperia app and I do appreciate the hard work that you put in to figure this out. Until then, I think that my current solution will do the trick.

Thanks again!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sephhi:
So what are the settings for EST?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] amnher:
Does this fix the bug wherein the calendar birthdays are empty?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] earendilSK:
I don't use this solution anymore because I have CyanogenMod now. Sticking to google calendar as MechaBouncer explained and adding facebook events there seems to be good. Never experienced timezone problems. You can also add friend's birthdays separately
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Salt_Water:
Google Calendar and FB Private Events

Yes, I also use Google calendar synced with my Facebook, but somehow Xperia Facebook integration seems to catch private events that Google Calendar does not ;/

Seems that Sony couldn't care less as ICS is full of bugs from them and no update so far!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] superbats:
Tried, but only the event times were fixed not the birthdays

I've tried this solution.... and it partially worked (thanks for the partial fix).

The event times are now not 7 hours ahead, but the birthdays still appear a day early. Is there anyway to fix that also?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] root_galaxy:
Hey guys,

So today my phone started acting up, the power button has become touch sensitive. As soon as I touch it or come close to it on either side of it, it acts as if I'm holding it down. I tore it apart to see if it was sick and it isn't so I can't figure out why it's doing that? Anyone ever had this same problem or have an idea of how to fix it?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KaneHusky:
This has become a common problem with our phones; do a search for "power button" and you'll find several threads reporting the same/similar problems. Some people seem to have managed to fix their issues by wiping the area with alcohol or re-flashing their recovery and/or ROM (I personally don't see how that could help a hardware issue, but whatever). In my case, as well as several others, the power button became permanently damaged, the phone was stuck in a vibrating bootloop and the only way to stop it was to take out the battery. I chose to have the power button replaced using the MobileTechVideos repair service. I wasn't 100% satisfied with their customer service, but the power button was replaced and my phone works fine now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] superlantern:
I suggest the same, I got my phone back a week ago after my power button got stuck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] awoolf:
I bought a replacement power button for my Sprint S2, and it looks like they now offer mail-in power button repair service too. Their feedback looks better than the experience you had.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] t989BeLikeItDo:
Don't bother buying a new power button yet! I had the exact same problem, and it was throwing my T989 into a boot loop. Your most likely problem is that your power button internals are getting jammed up with dirt from your finger and lint.

Here is a thread with a person experiencing a similar problem. Here is another thread where I go into detail on how to attempt to fix your problem. You already have the know-how on how to disassemble your phone, so this should be easy for you.

HERE is the original thread that I found which addresses the problem you seem to be having.

CRC QD Electronic Cleaner saved me from having to replace the hardware and I haven't had power/boot loop problems since!

If you feel as if you don't want to over-do it with the electronic cleaner, you can give your entire logic board a nice rub-down with some Isopropyl alcohol (I got mine from a general pharmacy). You should be able to get the electronic cleaner from any auto shop, but I've had specific success with CRC QD Electronic cleaner. I don't know enough about electronics or chemistry to recommend any other brand/type, so if you can't get that specific brand, then I can't help ya!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Brian419:
Hey all,

I should be upgrading my EVO OG to the new LTE model late next week. But I just wanted to get some of the basic questions out of the way. I'm sure there's already existing threads like this, but the forums can be difficult to search sometimes. So apologies if this stuff has been answered 20 times already.

1. Is root achievable on all known versions of the stock OS?

2. S-off is limited to Hboot x.15 and earlier correct?

3. Since the batter is not removable how do I force the phone off in case of a boot loop or other problem

4. Is the partition mod available for this phone? It was a very useful tool with my old Hero and the EVO OG.

5. What is the preferred recovery?

6. Are there any details that I should know about or fixes I should apply right away?

Thanks for answering these questions guys. Again I apologize if this stuff has been answered before.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
1. So long as the hboot can be unlocked the phone can be customized.

2. S-OFF is only available for hboot 1.12 and the is a toolkit being worked on right now for downgrade. It's been achieved and is being refined.

3. Hold power for 10 seconds and phone will reboot.

4. Not familiar with the particular mod you mentioned.

5. Twrp by TeamWin, right now there are a few issues with the latest 2.3 but 2.2 is still available.

6. Only issue is that unlocked phones with HBOOT 1.15 and higher must flash the kernel separately, there are several methods of doing so. Check my thread Don't Panic for all kinds of info
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
1. Yes u can root

2. S-off for all hboot's is possible now. Making it easier for the non-dev masses is a wip.

3. Boot loops or freezes never happen to me like on og EVO. But to simulate a battery pull hold down power for 10 seconds and wait til capacitive buttons stop blinking to release. To boot into bootloader hold power and volume down.

4. Not sure. Never had a use for it. Will need to check and get back to u.

5. Team Win Recovery Project TWRP. CWM does not agree w EVO LTE. Likes to corrupt misc/partition.

6. The multitasking mod is absolutely necessary for me. But I use Flex360's stock w/ goodies rom where it is baked in. There's another mod by zeppelinrocks that works as well.

Hope that does u well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Brian419:
Thanks for the answers, I'm this will come in handy once I get the phone and start playing around with it.

I haven't heard of the multitasking mod, I'll have to look that up.

The partition mod I mentioned was made by Firerat a few years back. I used it on my old Hero and EVO OG to change the size of the system, data, and cache partitions. Here's link to the EVO version: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=855424&highlight=firerat

Here's one I forgot. To boot into recovery when the phone is off we press power and volume down like with other devices? Or is that changed with the EVO LTE?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
Most of the custom roms will have improved multitasking built in so you shouldn't have to worry about that.

You won't need the partition mod, this phone is a beast!!

The recovery entry procedure is the same as before.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Brian419:
Thanks cruise!

I figured that with the amount of memory the device has I wouldn't need to repartition. But it's been such a useful tool I thought I'd ask about it.

Is there a guide in the Don't Panic thread or anywhere else that explains flashing methods in detail? I've always been able to do everything through recovery and it seems that this device requires more use of Fastboot.

If I'm understanding what I've read correctly, we download a ROM and extract the boot.img. Flash the ROM through recovery then use Fastboot to flash the boot.img? What about just flashing a stand alone kernel?

You guys don't have to explain everything here. A link to a thread would be enough.

Again thanks for the help. All this info will come in handy soon!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
Yep, you've got it. This thread outlines the process of flashing via fastboot as well as some other options. The same applies to flashing kernels with a ROM or standalone.

http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte-all-things-root/606748-how-install-kernels-h-boot-1-15-a.html
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
Some roms like MeanRom, have written a boot script to automatically install the kernel when the rom installs so no need to fastboot the kernel with MeanRom. Fastbooting kernels is only needed if you are s-on. There has been a major breakthrough in achieving s-off in the last couple of days and they are working on a refined method for everyone's use.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Brian419:
Good to know, I was under the impression that it didn't matter if you were s-off or s-on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
That is one of the benefits of being s-off, you can write to boot partitions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Brian419:
Well I think I'm set. I've been checking other threads and reviewing various guides and descriptions. Provided all goes well and I get the phone next week I should be able to do everything I want with it.

If I have anymore questions I'll be sure to post them.

Again, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, I really appreciate it :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Brian419:
Update: I got my LTEVO today. Rooted, unlocked, and flashed MeanROM with no serious problems.I just wanted to thank you guys again, the info you gave me really helped.

So thanks!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatfishguy:
Hello,

I have a Motorolla Atrix 4G purchased from Bell. The phone was updated to Gingerbread 2.3.6 already.

I have rooted the phone following this guide http://androidadvices.com/root-motorola-atrix-4g-45141-gingerbread-236-firmware/

Using the moto-fastboot files from here http://www.android-advice.com/file-downloads.php?filename=Atrix_Root_Files

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader so I can ultimately install CM7, but my understanding from this forum sticky http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160408 is that I can't do this without bricking the phone, since I had already done the official gingerbread update.

So if I'm correct, I need to follow this guide... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1302423

Except that guide and the warning sticky are referring to 2.3.4, not 2.3.6...

Could someone please lend me some knowledgeable input and/or guidance on this? Greatly appreciated, and thank you for your time.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatfishguy:
Solved my own question. Phone is unlocked and functioning.

To anyone else who might be helped by this, that guide I posted DOES work for 2.3.6 on Bell... Even says so approx. 13 pages into the discussion (took me awhile to find it).

Just like to thank this community for existing, and all the effort and time you guys spend to not only develop, but to help others by publishing these great resources.

Hey all,

I just wanted to tell you about this new app I've been working on. It's called Apple Maps for Android and it should be available on the Google Play store in the next few days. Basically, this app is designed for those of us who have no direction in life and are happier knowing that nothing is certain. Anyway, what do you think?

[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
Nice if you are developing an app that has nothing to do with Maps by Apple. The name can get you into trouble though. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
I can't be too hard on Apple Maps. Google sure isn't perfect. Last year when I went on vacation, Google pulled a couple fast ones on me.

1. I'm in Stamford, CT and want to get to Stew Leonard's. If you're from CT you know what I mean. If not -- it's literally Disneyland in a grocery store. Not kidding. Look it up. Also, they have great coffee, so we go every time. So I search for it, and it comes up. We're going through Norwalk, which is where it is, when it has us take a left turn. 15 minutes later we realize something is wrong. We pull over and check, it's taking us to the new store an hour away. That left turn? We were a block from the one in Norwalk. Good going Google. But wait, it gets better.

2. We're in Long Island, coming back from a friend's house in Shirley. If you're unfamiliar with the Long Island Expressway (LIE, LOL), it's this huge four-lane highway, with side roads on either side. Anyway, I search for IHOP, because we're hungry. Partied with a friend the night before, but he had to go to work that morning, and we were looking for coffee and pancakes. So Navigation tells us to do the following. Exit the highway. Take the side road. Turn left, under the highway. Take the side road back. Get on the highway going the opposite direction. Go back before we got off, by about 5 miles. Get off there. Side road. Left turn, under the highway. Left turn, side road. Back on the highway. Exit (after we started but before the first exit). Side road. Right turn, into a neighborhood. Two more right turns. Back on the highway. Between two exits -- your destination is on the right. No IHOP in sight.

So you'll have to excuse me if I don't join in on the Apple Maps hate. Google is just as bad. Now before you fault us in the second one, at one point we realized it wasn't going to take us to IHOP, we were just along for the ride because the ETA was dwindling down. It was fun. It was funny. We had a full tank of gas and good humor about the whole thing.

Also, not to backseat moderate but here's the Android Apps forum. This forum's for Photon/Electrify ROMs. At least I think it is. *checks* Yep, you got the wrong forum buddy.
