I've not yet tried upgrading the ROM on my UK Vario, but I guess now is the time to think about it. I want to keep my stored SMS and MMS messages, but everything else on the machine I'll probably clean-install and re-tweak as necessary once I get the new ROM flashed. I've got a good idea of what I do and don't want in my Vario after 5 months use, and I guess now would be a great time to get rid of all the junk that's probably clogging up the registry by now.

A couple of questions:

I know I can make a backup copy of the current ROM onto a clean SD card, but can I back it up onto a partially used card (i.e. using the file system, rather than raw data blocks).

I backup my Vario regularly using SPB Backup. Can the SPB Restore utility restore

just

my SMS/MMS messages (including user-created folders) without reinstalling anything else, so I can keep a nice clean machine?

The UK T-Mobile release is 2.0, whereas "Mr Clean ROM" is 2.3. I'm guessing 2.3 is better, but what am I likely to lose (if anything) that's on the T-Mobile ROM? Is the stereo bluetooth headset facility on both? I've already removed most of the obvious T-Mobile pink stuff, and put in a better dialler skin, etc. In fact, I don't really want T-Mobile's dialler skin at all, as I've been trying to get rid of their modified history & speeddial icons for ages!

Finally, what about reinstalling things like TomTom - will doing so remove my user-defined favourite place settings, etc? (my maps are stored on SD card)

Thanks for any advice, I'm a little nervous here...

^^^ Same questions and concerns for me.

Also, I flashed my T-Mobile UK MDA from original ROM to Qtek 2.17 ROM a month ago. I SIM & CID unlocked it in the process using Lokiwiz 0.2b - do I need to prep the phone with Lokiwiz 0.3 before flashing the MDA to keep it unlocked?

Cheers in advance.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xiaoda:
Things I've noticed so far:

1)

The Comms screen has been radically changed, adding a "push" button (deactivated on my uk t-mobile vario for some reason) and another button that looks like a ppc to ppc connection.

2)

The battery icon has moved from the bottom right corner to the top right corner, on the top panel, (where the time used to be) and has turned an ugly shade of green. I presume it goes yellow -> red when on low power.

3)

In the programs, something called "SAP Settings" has been added.

It's used for remote sim access apparently.

4)

"Running Programs" is now a program and can be seen on the start menu

6)

"Comm manager is now a program that appears on the "running programs" list.

5)

When starting up, it displays the t-mobile screen followed by the WINDOWS MOBILE screen instead of just the t-mobile screen.

Finally, this could because of a cleaner registry and stuff, but it does feel somewhat more efficient.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] leigho:
Bad news here. I've been running the Mr Clean Comes to London ROM for a few days with no problems at all and before that one of the Qtek ones and the unit never reset itself which it had ben doing with the T-Mobile ROM from the start of the year. I am happy with the performance of the new T-Mobile ROM after installing it yesterday but overnight it went back to soft resetting itself as all of my open programs were shut down this morning. Also when I turned it on the screen wasn't responding so I ended up doing another reset.

I'll leave it over the weekend but it looks like the spontaneous reset problem hasn't been resolved. Strange that T-Mobile can't fix that but all the other ROMs seem to have it licked!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] andrewilley:
Of course it could be something T-Mobile has put in that's causing it. I'm thinking Mr Clean is the way to go...

How to root htc one vx

HTC One VX comes from the

HTC One series of

smartphones consisting of

high-end specifications, such

as Dual-Core processors and

the latest version of Android

on-board. While we already

have a root guide for the

One VX, another root

method has popped-up on

XDA and to help users root

their devices with this new

method, here we’re

presenting a tutorial

explaining everything you

need to root your device.

So, let’s see how you can

root your HTC One VX

smartphone.

I. Before You Begin:

1. This will void the warranty

of the device. However, you

can reinstate it by unrooting

the device if there’s any

unrooting procedure

available.

2. The following procedure

works on Windows based

PCs only.

II. Downloading

Required Files:

download file. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2123359

III. Rooting the HTC

One VX:

1. Place the Root Package

archive on the Desktop of

your PC.

2. Extract files from the

archive to your Desktop.

Don’t launch any files just

yet.

3. Turn ON the USB

debugging option on your

device by heading to

Menu>>Settings>>Developer

options>>USB debugging .

4. Turn OFF the device.

5. Reboot the device into

Fastboot mode. To do so,

simply hold down the

Volume DOWN+Power

buttons together.

6. Once inside the Fastboot

mode, connect the device to

your PC using the USB cable.

7. Open a Command Prompt

Window on your Desktop. To

do that, hold down the Shift

button on your keyboard

and right-click on any empty

area on the screen, then

select Open command

window here .

8. Type in following

command into the Command

Prompt Window:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

9. Once it’s done, issue the

following command:

fastboot reboot

10. Your device will reboot.

Once it boots up, enter the

following command:

adb remount

11. Next, enter following

commands into the

Command Prompt Window

one-by-one. Press ENTER

after each line you type:

adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/

adb push su /system/xbin/

adb shell mkdir /system/bin/.ext

adb push .su /system/bin/.ext/

adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/.ext/.su

adb shell chmod 777 /system/bin/.ext

adb shell ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su

adb reboot

12. Your device will reboot

in normal mode.

13. Once it boots up, simply

open the Superuser app

from your App Drawer.

14. Tap the Update binaries

button in the app and let it

do the rest of the work.

15. And you’re all done!

Brilliant! Your device has

been successfully rooted and

the SU binaries have also

been updated. Now load-up

some root-only apps on

your device to realize the

power of root-access!

Hi all,

I just begin using Tasker. My first profile is to, after bootup, wait 4 minutes then run app A, this one works fine. But I have trouble with my second profile:

it will run app B when wifi connected(no specific SSID or MAC,etc.), and as an Exit task, kill that app with taskkill plugin, if wifi disconnected. The problem is: if I MANUALLY switch ON and OFF wifi, it works fine, but it does not run that app after bootup (I installed SmartWifiToggler app which will automatically turn on wifi and connect.).

Any idea?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AgentTran:
Hey, I really need some desperate help.

So I have a Canadian Note 2, SGH-I317.

It has no SIM card inside it, and it is just connected to wifi.

I have flashed 2 Custom ROMS before on this phone.

The first one, was a 4.4.2 Homemade t0lte ROM.

It worked fine for about a week, but then I started to have this big problem.

After I plugged in my friends charger at her house, (a Samsung Note tablet charger) then this problem started shortly after I left her house:

When I leave the phone alone, it will go to sleep automatically like every other phone. Then, when I press any button which wakes the phone, the touch screen is unresponsive, and the phone since no input is coming in, goes back to sleep and doesn't turn on again until after a while, where it will boot back on itself and start working until randomly out of chance (chance meaning atleast once every 1 - 4 hours) it will do the same thing again. It's getting really annoying and starting to be destructive, as it stops important conversations and other stuff.

I initially thought it was the homemade ROM.

So, I changed the ROM. Now I'm using a better one, and it's called W03 Slim v9 t0lte, and it's 4.4.2 and works good.

I was not seeing any problems up until a few hours after the install of the new ROM, and the problem which I thought had been removed was still persistent. Now, its even more often than the old homemade ROM. Just before posting this, it has happened twice in the matter of 1 hour, and it's just getting on my final nerve.

I'm not sure if this is a key factor, but after it goes to sleep, I still see the visible white pixels of the 4.4.2 shutoff effect.

My final thoughts are that it might be the battery, but I have no idea how to get a replacement for that, and how much they cost.

Obviously I can't send it in because the warranty was voided when I flashed the custom ROM.

I really need a solution, and ultimately I could wipe everything and go back to the stock ROM, but that, in my scenario would be a last case scenario.

Thanks, Delbert.

NOTE: Just found out that when I turn it on, and the touch screen is unresponsive, the S pen works with the phone, and the back and menu button doesn't work. But, all physical buttons do. The physical home button works, but all the rest except the S pen works. So I can navigate the phone unless it goes into sleep mode, in that case no matter what I press, nothing will make it come up unless it reboots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ShadowVlican:
your friend's charger could've damaged your phone

i've had a charger that made my touchscreen unresponsive while plugged in... thankfully it didn't do any noticeable permanent damage

all USB chargers are not created equally:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AgentTran:
Thank you for your reply, but if the charger did do damage to my phone, how would it and how does the touchscreen still work with the S pen?

Is there any way to fix this, and if not what do I do?

I have an HTC One X I could use as a backup, but I would like to install a 4.4.2 ROM on it, and with what I've found out I have to root it, which requires a recovery, which recovers an unlock or S-OFF, and when trying to do that, the phone won't connect via USB to my computer. I am frustrated but at the same time sad.

Should I just factory reset my whole phone and erase everything?

You can restore cid by restoring the lock_backup.bin file that was created during the unlock process.
