Can I go back

Ima n00b :-)

I put a ROM on my HTC TILT in the past. I now have a Tmobile mytouch slide. I have a few questions if I may.

1 - Will I be able to revert to my factory OS if I screw this up? If so, how would I do this?

2 - Does anyone have a link to the best ROM for the Slide phone?

3 - Will I still be able to download my market place items I have already purchased?

Thanks..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
1. go to slide rom bible. answers are there

2. thats all a matter of opinion. if you want something flashy, we've got those. if you want barebones, we've got those too.

3. yes on any and every rom with a marketplace
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rodgerdodger:
Anyone know why after doing this I can't see certain apps in the market???

Thanks for all the help and time that you all have put into this. Jus trying to figure out this last problem I'm having.

Now I can't see certain apps in the Market, specifially my own apps?

I could search and see them in the Market after I got root.

Then after flashing the ENG-Build and Slidemeroot2 I can no longer see my own apps in the Market. Not sure how many other apps I'm not able to see either?

Is there a fix? or anyone know why this might be happening?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
Sometimes if you go into the market and then back out of it before re-downloading your apps the market will forget your free downloads. Your purchased apps should still show. This is a pretty common occurrence for me, as such I always make an effort to prepare before entering the market when I first flash a ROM so I'm ready to download all my apps straight away. Titanium is a good app for backing up all your apps and settings though I've heard it can save some system files that don't work well from one ROM to another ROM. Astro file manager also allows you to back-up your apps.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acolon85:
can someone PLEASE do a video on how to do this. thanks in advanced

I did a backup using titanium backup, after i restored all the apps the market doesnt recognize the installed apps..

Will i get updates now?
[Desire General] viper_campbell:
Which version are you using?? Free or Donation?? As the free version doesnt connect them back up to the market...

BUT if your using the donation version... download something else from the market and magic... all your restored apps will magically appear!!

Is Astro a free app to backup WITH link to market?

Last time i used Astro it didn't re-link the apps... Titanium Backup is definately worth donating for, its only like $3.99!!!!! Changing Rom's with it is amazing!!!!!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Furgy:
Hey all,

I installed Metamorph on my Nexus One to install another Status Bar, but if i start the checks, it says me that i don't have enough free space on /system!

What can i do to fix this? I use the Stock 2.2 "FroYo" ROM pre-rooted from XDA...

I hope anyone of you can help me.

Thanks a lot! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] eTiMaGo:
Hey guys... friend of mine asked me to put in a custom ROM to his Hero, tires of waiting for HTC to release a 2.1/2.2 for us here in SE Asia.

The phone had already been rooted, but I could not manage to put in a recovery partition, even trying with the GoldCard method.

So, I dug around and found recommendations to try Droid Explorer, which I did, very nice program!

What I did was to use the "update custom ROM" function to put in the ChocolateEclair ROM

Everything seemed to run fine, phone rebooted, showed the new boot animation, then went to a green screen for a few minutes, but this is normal as per the ROM's details page.

But, since then, it's rebooted, it does the boot animation (hand-drawn droid), over and over again, can't get past that. I can get into bootloader and stock recovery screens, though. I'm thinking I should try to wipe the device again, but I cannot select this option in the recovery, it says to press alt-w but that's a bit hard without a keyboard!

I also tried to connect with adb shell (when in recovery mode) but it tells me it cannot find the shell.

So... have I bricked this poor phone? Right now I am downloading the latest RUU I can find, and hope it will work, but if anyone has any experience and advice to share it will be greatly appreciated!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RaduG:
Hey mate... You should have posted in ChocolateEclair topic. Can a mod merge the topics?

To answer you... This does not mean the phone is bricked. Are you sure you don't have a custom recovery image?(boot with home+power) Please paste me your logcat(adb logcat) and I'll tell you what causes the reboot, there's nothing to worry about.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] eTiMaGo:
Hey RaduG,

Thanks for getting back so quick! I posted a general thread as I thought it would not be a problem specific to your mod but rather my method or lack thereof :p

Now the problem is... I can't run logcat either.:

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

when I go to the recovery image I am quite sure it is the stock one (3D exclamation mark with a phone next to it, then loads the reboot/apply update.zip/wipe data menu. There's also a warning "E: can't open /cache/recovery/command" in yellow at the bottom.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tracid:
How you try to run logcat? "adb logcat"?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Apparently you can reinstall a recovery using that Droid Explorer?.... I'd try that for AmonRa1.6.2 if Radug cant help you once you have supplied a logcat.

Then load into the recovery, do your wipes, and flash again.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
..... And please post in GENERAL or QnA next time.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] e.japonica:
are you able load into armon recovery console?

if yes try wipe everything & reflash others custom rom then wipe again & reflash ChocolateEclair 1.0.1. i also face the same problem just now when i'm at work *playing with roms secretly* ^^"

i load in success without seeing the green screen now =)

& best not to use the ExtremeKernel as not all phone can support as stated on the dev post =)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pastynko:
he is unable to do this atm, as he is stuck at the boot screen...so unable to load previous ROM...

ADB stuff should be the way ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jarski12345:
Most likely his hero cant be overclocked to 69x mhz. So flash the low kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] eTiMaGo:
I'm quite sure this is the case... but I am so far unable to put in any other ROM. When i get into the stock recovery console, I can select the "apply update.zip" option, but pressing the trackball does nothing, same with the factory wipe option. Are there any other button combinations for these? It says Alt+S and Alt+W for these options, but without a physical keyboard, how to do?

Droid Explorer does let me update a new ROM, but... nothing happens on the phone.

As for trying to put in a new recovery through Droid Explorer, it can only do so by pulling the file for the SDcard... which is not detected when the phone is in recovery mode :(

I tried to run a recent HTC RUU, but it does not detect the phone...

Last option seems to be working from ADB, yes... But half the commands I try end up with the error "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -"

So, are there any ADB commands I could try, to wipe the device?

Ok here is my situation....

I was able to fully root using toast's method. I than tried to flash my radio from the link the forums.

It installed everything properly, but then got stuck on the htc evo boot screen. i left it alone for 2 hours and it did nothing.

Is there something that can be done or did I brick it?

Thanks in advance.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timgt:
Just turn it off, hold the volume button down and then hit the power button, this will put you in recovery so you can flash again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owleyes:
tried that, but it will not let me back into custom recovery. or do i have this wrong. I am still kinda new to all this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timgt:
what does it show? a red exclamation mark?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owleyes:
doing the volume down, then power. it brings me to that screen. errr the 3 androids on skateboards screen lol

damn 5 min wait between posts lol. ima be at this all night it looks like lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blu3g:
once you are there, you should be able to reboot into recovery. right when you enter that screen it should start looking for PCIMG36.zip and once it can't find that, a menu should pop up. scroll down the menu using the volume button until you hit recovery. press your power button and it should boot you into recovery. if it takes you to a screen with a red exclamation point, then you would need to plug in your phone to your pc and run the bat file that came in the first part of rooting instructions to get into recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owleyes:
once i hit recovery from that menu, it takes me right back to the htc evo splash screen and locks up.

i really do not understand this. all these reports of this radio installing with no issue and I get this >.> ah well. i guess i knew the risks when i started this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blu3g:
well if your phone can still boot up then it's definitely not bricked. did you try a battery pull and reboot?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owleyes:
yeah....well that is good to know anyway lol.

how do these terminal emulators work, and can i get one on my phone in this condition?

I am reading the sd and usb fix thread...but i don't understand how to run the emulator on the phone.

RUU?

_________
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timgt:
Excellent idea, just go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=685835 and download the RUU.

Once you run this you are back to stock and will have to re-root your phone via toasts instructions. Hopefully this works
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owleyes:
tried that as well. It says there is no phone connected. :mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timgt:
I dont know man, you gotta try combinations. Like hold the volume down to get to that recovery and then try to run the RUU perhaps?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owleyes:
believe i am trying everything lol. i even put the pcimg file back on and try to go from that but the phone does not even recognize it now meh it's a process. at least i know there is some hope lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinisyoung:
i don't have an evo (yet), but when you get into the bootloader screen (with the androids on skateboards), is there an option to go to Fastboot mode? if you RUU, that's the mode you wanna be in.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owleyes:
ok i put the original pc36img back on the card and got it to boot back into android!!!!!!

so now i have the root pc36img file on there. I am scared to keep going and rerooting it lol

Will i have to redo it all? I am not sure where to go from here.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owleyes:
everything seems to be working again.

any advice for me now? should i RUU it and just go back to stock or can i keep going from this point with the root steps again? (this time leaving the radio flash alone lol)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soxozor:
If you were able to get root in the first place, you are fine.

Download Flipz Stock Rom with Superuser. No flashing radios necessarily. Just flashing an update.

And you are set. You will be rooted with stock rom. Supposedly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owleyes:
I did manage to get it fixed last night. Now I am fully rooted and running the fresh rom.

I really appriciate all the advice from everyone who was on here at 4am with me lol. Kinda sucks my first posts on here had to be about breaking my phone, but you guys are awesome!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sterlinron:
I got stuck in a boot loop once too when trying to flash a rom. It was because I didn't clear the Data/Stock Image. I had cleared Cache/Dalvik, but not data.

hi all,

I work at a restaurant, and at work today I saw this guy with an x10 and a hard black case, atleast it looked that way it could of been soft plastic but it fit so well to the phone I doubted that. anyways the case was superb, covering the hard buttons but clearly showing the markings of the buttons on the case. I never got a chance to ask him, so has anyone reengineering or have a case like this or similar?? thanks a lot!

You can give it a try on eBay. I found some there. But can't buy because I'm from Romania and the transport is almost the same as the cost of the product. They are not expensive. I've made an order from a firm in Romania that has them from silicone. When I get it, I'll post an opinion.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd4d3v:
seen some on ebay.

theyre not completely hard plastic, but not silicone either..

I think they were called "jelly" (even tho it's not anything like jelly)

just look for X10 case, and order them from lower price to more expensive.

I found them on the 3rd page or so.

[HD2 General] prince13:
Hi,

I searched the forums and found few threads for this windows mobile issue but no solution or what so ever.

Issue is with Overall Volume settings and controls.

I was previously an IPhone owner and i just recently moved to this amazing phone, however i do miss my Iphone for its few simplicity and user friendly setting options.

When my iphone was use to be in idle situation (not silent) and i use the volume rockers it use to change the ringer lever but it didnt change the media playback volume or in call earpiece volume. And When i was in a call, using the volume rockers would make adjustments to just the earpiece volume without changing any other volume setting. And when playing media it will just change the volume level for the media. This is a very natural behavior as we all would expect from our device.

But with my HD2 it gets really confusing and annoying at the same time that i dont have indivisual level of volume setting for in call, ringtone, and media playback.

I understand that we have the option to seprate the system/ringer volume level but still it doesnt work at it should.

I want to keep my ringer type/level to be at vibrate most of the time and my system to be at full or wtv level based on my preference at that time. But i want my phone to vibrate for text messeges and emails or wtv alerts i turn on. Just like how it was with iphone, if my phone was on silent(and vibrate setting on) my ringer wudnt sound and neither wud my text msges wud sound but my phone wud vibrate on text messages when vibration was turned on.

But with this phone if my ringer is at 0% volumes and system is anything above 0% my text messages wud vibrate and sound. how ever my text message sound should be attached to the ringer volume level not the system level volume.

Scenarios:

1).

System/ringer level same == no.

ringer level = 0%

system level = 50%

sms notification = on

In this above scenario if i receive a call my phone shud only vibrate and not sound. if i receive a text message it shud only vibrate but not sound. and if i play media it shud be at 50% level and my call volume shud be at 50% aswel.

But right now if i get a phone call my phone wud not ring but it will vibrate.(which is good). If i get a text message it sounds and vibrate (not good). media is at 50% level (good) and my call level is good aswell.

i am looking for a solution that would give me 2 things. First thing is to allow me to choose if i want vibration at all or no. And secondly make my notification attached to ringer volume instead of system volume.

i am sure alot of ppl are looking for this solution and would agree that this phone lacks volume settings and options.

thanks

Volume controls

Same gripe here..

Unable to get unilateral volume control on this magnificent phone.

Sometimes, its as if the smarter the phone, the dumber the remedial tasks can be.

Its not the perfect fix, but this is what I have mine set for.

Under Audio and display settings:

PROFILE: is set for normal

VOLUME:

ringer volume at zero

system volume at 50%

RING AND NOTIFICATIONS:

Ring type: Vibrate only

Notification Sounds: OFF on all..

That way, sms and email only display the green light on ear bar, rather then the chimes..

and music volume is adjustable without triggering the volumes back on..

Hope that helps.
[HD2 General] NickPP:
You can choose to set independent settings for system and ringer volume control or set them up to be the same with the vol rocker keys. It is available in the settings.

Hi,

Newbie here. Are there any super power saving kernels for 32A like intersectraven's?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] needle2k:
Hello,

I´m trying to convert my current ROM to a higher DPI (96 -> 128) WM6.5 (23563) after Porting from WM6.1

I build my rom with the 96 base files and all seems good so far only Problem is that my upper/lower Bar is to small and i have a black Stripe on Titanium Screen (at end) and the icons on bottom bar are Pixelated, but as soon i try to hook it up with the 128 DPI files it get corrupted on Taskbar / Startmenu

(Waitcursor, Antenna, Speaker, Battery icons .... missing) for me it seems that it doesn´t load required *.128.dll´s

I figured out so far that shellres.96.dll, coreres.96.dll, tshres.96.dll, might has to do some with it, if i exclude them from build and trying to add the *.128.dll´s it looks like they don´t get loaded/regged and by that my taskbar / startmenu fails

is there something i need to reg/add ? or how to get them working ?

i fully replaced 96 files with 128 files but still no luck

also Added Dword:80 to LogicalPixels

Image: left default(96) , right added Logical Pixels to 128 as you can see the lower taskbar icons resized

Any help would be great

Thanks

[G1 Android Development] Nagoki:
I think I may have a simple yet very inefficient method of ensuring stable overclock at higher frequencies. I have been messing around with many different OC kernels (along with many different roms :D), and have noticed the same situation. While charging, all overclock speeds beyond 633 are pretty stable. It may take a few attempts to reach a certain speed (as the phone might reboot), but once successful its all golden!

I'd previously though instabilities were due to the fact that these kernels were undervolted and thus, after a certain frequency, needed more juice to function properly, but when I removed the charger. My god...it still ran! Just as effectively for extended periods of time.

The only problem was the phone would either reboot or hang if the screen was powered-off and idle/sleep for more than 1-3 secs. So I tried using SetCpu's profiles to lower the clock speed to various speeds below 633 during sleep. Yet to no avail. The phone would always freeze/reboot when it attempted to clock back up.

So if someone were to develop an app that would implement a toggle feature, or make modifications to the current kernels to disable sleep for test purposes I believe that might help. I am far too inexperienced a programmer to dev this but know there was a command under reference called "Partial Wake Lock" that can disable cpu sleep.

Also I realize, if implemented as is, this will destroy battery life. But with a good toggle switch it can be treated as an Overdrive mode!!!:eek::eek:
[G1 Android Development] Nagoki:
Forgot to mention that while charging and clocked beyond 633 it always awoke with no problems.
[G1 Android Development] mejorguille:
My phone will clock to 710 before freezing up but it's crazy unstable. It seems to behave well at 652 with a freeze up roughly every 6-7 hours. I've never tried it that high with the charger though. Seems interesting.
[G1 Android Development] Jedipottsy:
extended batteries also reduce overclocking, my 2600mah battery peaks at 595, where as the official battery gets me to 633
