Yes, this is what works. It was said to not put your phone in recovery mode in some of the directions, but this is what worked for me. Maybe someone could make this a sticky so we don't have to wait until page 8 to finally see how to do it. Cheers.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Sengfeng:
...Also be aware that putting the file back in place generally has to be done while the phone is in recovery mode as the system files are locked from deletion while Android is running.
[HTC Aria Android Development] alain_HTC:
I have S-Off + installed 'su' on my HTC Aria phone (I can run Ti backup and it does get root access) and have admin access to my win7 machine (I run cmd.exe as Admin) and installed the latest Androuid SDK (which puts adb under platform-tools/ directory so I ahd to update path to that and android-sdk\tools dir)

but when I run

C:\tmp>adb remount

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

remount failed: Operation not permitted

what am I missing (win7) ?

I called AT&T tech support 4 times over a week to get the patch upgrade for sideloading and they can't figure it out...so I figure I will try this instead.

...digging up old threads...

^^ that one has some more info...

http://de.codeplex.com/

^^ looks like one could edit the sqlite value on the phone.

...or, you could look into installing a different ROM...
[HTC Aria Android Development] alain_HTC:
thanks M1m3R !

found the solution reading the first old thread - elboby post #29 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=730398&page=3

the ONLY way to get this to work (I read all the thread, running cmd.exe as admin on win7 didn't solve it, short of getting a custom ROM which I didn't want to) was to do this:

1.Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery

2.Choose partitions menu

3.select mount /data

(for me CWM 2.5.0.7 I had to mount /data *and* /system and they were not under partition menu, but data mount... but you get the idea)

4.Run the commands to get the sideload...see post#13 by attn1

Gene Poole then said

The system partition doesn't like to be mounted read/write in normal operating mode. +1 on the clockwork method.
[HTC Aria Android Development] M1m3R:
Glad you go it going.
[HTC Aria Android Development] maRRRco89:
Hello, did you use SQLite editor for android ?

Did it allow to change the value?

And again, did you set the default permissions after editing the file?

I tried to do the same, but with SQL browser for windows, so copying many time the file from root, to sd and then pc and on the contrary.

But i got a boot loop, and i don't know why ...

I read you too, but the second attempt was good?

In general can I get a boot loop if i don't change the permissions like default settings.db file?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sherman901:
I can't find out how to change the fonts on my phone. Every time I search the market I just look up packs for Handcent or something. How do I change the default font?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Konikub:
go into system/fonts and find DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf pull them...find the fonts you like, rename them to the two listed above....and push them back. Kind of tedious, but that is the way I get it done :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] LearnIIBurn:
Amazing! Thanks for the info. works great!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BigSK225:
If you're fully rooted look for TypeFresh in the market. Create a folder labeled fonts on your sd and load it with fonts. Run TF on your handset, backup factory fonts, choose which font you want to change, pick the font you want to replace it with then choose apply fonts. Free and easy! Although the other method mentioned before does work too. Let me know if you need any help....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djphooka:
I have an unrooted, stock Nexus phone on T-Mobile.

I downloaded the update from this website and followed the directions to install the update.

It immediately says

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

And then keeps stopping at:

verifying current system...

assert failed: apply_patch_check

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

I've tried a couple different sources for the update and every one stops there.

Any ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
What update are you running and from what version.

The ones from google (ERE -> FRF, FRF50 -> FRF72) and for non-rooted phones, the rest are for root users.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djphooka:
ERE27. Does that sound right?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orangeandblue302:
you have to get the file for ERE50 before you can go to ERE72
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djphooka:
Do you have a download link for it? I've been searching but haven't found it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orangeandblue302:
it should be found in the stickies in the general forum. If you don't find it there you can find a mirror link on www.androidguys.com
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orangeandblue302:
And sorry ere is older, you want frf50 then 72
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djphooka:
so, i'm still getting these errors::

It immediately says

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

And then keeps stopping at:

and that's from trying to recover with

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djphooka:
OK, now I have reformatted the SD card just to make sure that the update file is alright.

I'm pretty sure the problem lies in the E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

I might be wrong but if anyone knows what the deal is I would really appreciate some input.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saints:
Almost same problem

Sorry for hijacking your tread djphooka but seeing we have almost same issues here.

I try to do the update with signed-passion-FRF50-from-ERE27.1e519a24.zip and have almost a similar problem.. it do say E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command when i get in the recovery menu

and when i run the apply sdcard:update.zip it opens the package then i get E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Any help on this issue?

some info on my nexus one:

Kernel version: 2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c

Build number: EPF21B

Any ideas would be most welcome

Found some info at another site that the bulletinboard wount show but search for EPF21B and Online Kitchen and you will find it

Build number shows it to be the UK shipping ROM

[HD2 General] Matt V:
Hey guys, I've had the phone since Saturday and even though I've been through a few charge cycles my battery only lasts about 6-8 hours. Today I took the phone off the charger at 10:00 AM and it died on me at 5:45 PM. I only texted a few times and only did an hour or so of Slacker Radio. Seems a little low for what I'm doing with the phone.

I am on Kumar's classic 2.2 ROM with 2.11 radio.
[HD2 General] :
A lot of things can drain the battery, 3g on in a no 3g area, weather updates, twitter , email updates ...

But If I was you I would try a diff radio ... I get a full day out of mine at this point a little more ...
[HD2 General] Matt V:
I've tried 2.12 as well and the battery didn't improve.
[HD2 General] jas0nw0ng:
Is your activesync checking as items come in? That's what drained mine terribly. Basically, it can be a ton of things that make your battery drain such as:

1. backlight

2. agps

3. certain programs

4. etc

You'd have to list a bunch of stuff on what you're doing to your phone
[HD2 General] Matt V:
Can you turn activesync off? If so, how?

Also, any other tips to save battery life?
[HD2 General] SecrtAgentMan:
Definitely lower down the screen brightness to 20%, turn off Bluetooth and WiFi, don't let things like Twitter and your e-mail update so often.

Also using the internet/music/videos will drain quite a bit of power, especially if you use the internet while listening to music.
[HD2 General] Matt V:
Yeah I mainly use internet radio while at work. Would using WiFi be easier on the battery than using 3G/H?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yes, I've done it both ways and wifi most definitely draws less juice when streaming data than 3g (and when idle too, for that matter)
[HD2 General] Rugged96:
do you think it matters whether you install programs on your SD card or on the device?

i have CHT installed on the SD card and i can't make it 8 hrs on light usage.
[HD2 General] Matt V:
I only have 3 apps installed so far, but it's on the device.

Also, is there a way to have the default wallpapers without animation? I'm sure that doesn't help the battery every time I unlock the phone either.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yes. Try installing it on and running it from the phone instead, I'm sure you'll see at least a noticible difference.

Honestly, there's really not much of any reason to install apps on the SD card with this phone...there's more storage available than even most power users would ever come close to filling.
[HD2 General] lbhocky19:
im in teh same boat. had it since march. on elegancia rom which people say is great for battery. on 2.12

now im in a bad service area in my basement often so i know sometimes thats the cause. but even at the gym 40 mins of internet radio dropped my battery almost 20 percent.

if i do nothing with the phone it usually drops 5 pct an hour 10 pct with moderate use but 20 easily if i do anything on the web over 3g or wifi. its awful

oh and i have lumos configured, i only have email connect every 2 hours and weather every 6. nothing else connects
[HD2 General] mastajest:
Wow! your phone's battery usage sounds a little over the top. Might want to try using a different radio. 2.08 has given me the best signal/battery efficiency, but of course that varies from phone to phone.

Also, I bought a 2600 mAh battery so now I'm not afraid to use my phone. As long as you don't mind the extra bulk it adds to the back of the phone :rolleyes:, I would suggest getting an extended battery to everyone complaining about how their battery dies too fast.
[HD2 General] :
I will back up the statement that putting apps in main memory will save you battery ...

The less your phone has to access the SDcard the less power it uses.

A big thing is if you have any apps that run all the time that are on the SDcard , not only does it drain battery but will degrade the performance of the SDcard .
[HD2 General] Matt V:
Anyone else have any ideas?
[HD2 General] lbhocky19:
talked to tmo on webchat last night got em to send me a new battery :)

so if nothin helps at least il have two
[HD2 General] Matt V:
I'm trying that method right now, we'll see what happens.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
I am not aware of there being a way to get the linux startup stuff I'm afraid.

The best you could do is find the old BIOS bootscreen VillainROM had at some point, and use something like it.

But it wasn't real stuff. I guess you want a logcat to be displayed on boot? Not sure if it's possible, but I doubt it tbh :(

[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] turboyo:
Yea lol. I thnk he moved it to the general section.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] N1M1TZ:
Yea, was wondering what happened to the accessories threads too. I thought they were just remodeling the forums but it never came back. Why would they put the accessories posts in the general forum? Oh well, they should be cleaning the android development section as there are tons of useless posts/ threads in there. Especially lazy members who don't even bother reading and just start their own for the heck of it.

So, coming from an Iphone, slacker radio was one of the first things I put on my Incredible when I got it; it was horrible on the incredible, with freezes and pauses all the time; 2 weeks later, when I returned our Incredibles because of the phone call quality nightmare, and got 3 EVO's, I was hoping it would be better, but, unfortunately it still sucks..pauses, stops for no reason, sometimes starts a second version on its own if I try to quit it and restart..

I have updated it every time it offers one, I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and still the same sub par performance.

Pandora seems ok, as does lastFM, but I like the offerings on slacker the most

Has anyone figured out a way to make Slacker work better on Android, or am I destined to use Pandora as my main listening tool?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] warmachine00:
what's wrong with pandora? i've found it does a pretty good job at finding rare music (i dont listen to garbage) and matching other artists close to it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wase4711:
well, pandora is nice as well, but, for some reason, the mixes I get on slacker seem to be better for me..

my point is the app is lousy for me, compared to how it was on Iphone,and I was wondering if others were having the same types of problems with pausing, stopping and starting for no reason, etc..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] zhensley:
I've been struggling with it too. Today I had 2 songs in a row that played 12 seconds or so, and then stopped. Had to FC just to start over and have it do the same thing. Last.fm seems to be a bit better so far
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Alazka:
Theres actually quite a few options, i use lastFM that updates my last fm radio suggestions based on the music you play thats stored on your phone

(scrobbling). there's also lots of great options for radio apps on the market ,xia live, radio time, wunder radio wich i hear is great, sirius xm, and many others just take some time to look through some of whats available i have 3 or 4 internet radio apps on my incredible and between them there is more music, talk and sports coverage than i have time for really the problem is deciding what i want to listen to .
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wase4711:
yeah, I am gonna try droid live next..gets rave reviews
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] murdocthc:
I subscribe to slacker and i haven't had any problems with it on my hero or my evo...i actually prefer it to anything else because of it's consistency. the only complaint that i have is when it first boots up...if i try to pause the song and then try to play it again, it has to reload the station. other than that, it's been phenomenal.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scoobydooxp:
No problems with Slacker here. I moved over to the EVO from the Iphone 3G and I use the caching in the car and then stream via wifi at the office. I usually listen around 4-5 hours per day. Obviously there are bugs with it but overall no real complaints.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wase4711:
do you guys listen to it on wifi, 3g or 4g?

What to change the Sprint banner to something else?

Well here is how.

This is a rough guide, maybe I'll get ambitious and spruce it up when I have some more time...

Install HTC Sync if you haven't already..

Get it here.

http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=933&news_id=631

Gonna need the HTC Diag drivers, least I did... these work fine:

http://rapidshare.com/files/293529424/HTC_Hero_DIAG_Drivers.zip x86 32bit

Here are the /64 bit drivers thanks to techwerkz

http://www.techwerkz.com/evo/HTCDiagDrivers.zip

[highlight]Mod edit: No linking to warez site or suggesting users to get warez is allowed[/highlight]

Enter DIAG mode, dial ##diag#, let windows install the drivers...most likely it won't find the HTC DIAG drivers, but they are in the link above... get it installed.

Now in CDMA workshop, you really don't want to be effin' with stuff you aren't sure what it is... but we are here to change the banner right? riight so don't be changing anything else and you'll be a-ok.

Select your port, hit connect, hit read... goto the NAM tab...hit Read ...change the Banner from "Sprint" to whatever..hit "Write".... then you can reboot the phone and its done.

To find your port...

Select your port, hit connect then hit read. ( picture shows "Disconnect" only because I already pushed connect... )

Goto the NAM tab, hit read, change the banner, hit write. Reboot your phone

Enjoy!

Mods if there is a problem with me posting the link to isohunt, I'll gladly remove it.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] slayer69:
The com port you are using is not the one the phone is using. Go into Device manager and see what port it is running on. The demo version will not allow above port 6 so you may have to change the port.
