[HTC Aria General] ChargingPaladin:
Long time reader, first time poster; also new to Android.

Having a winner of a week; already broke my Aria. Phone and screen are still functional but there is some pretty significant physical damage. I've got a new one on the way but I'd like to make the setup as pain free as possible.

I flashed attn1's Liberated ROM the day I got it and have spent the week tweaking and setting and installing, etc. If I want to retain all of the apps, settings, etc. can I backup the broken phone and load it onto the new one? I assume I'll have to get into Clockwork to do it but I'm hoping that that's the extent of it.

Any advice is much appreciated.
[HTC Aria General] cmstlist:
I don't own the Aria, but based on experience with Milestone and Nexus One:

1) A complete nandroid backup restored to a second identical phone *should* give you everything back. The only catch is some apps may care about the change in your IMEI number and complain.

2) Take a Titanium backup as well. This will help you restore data to specific applications. If you have the donate version, then it will also help you restore Android Market links to the apps so you get proper updates.
[HTC Aria General] ChargingPaladin:
Good point about the IMEI; I wouldn't have caught that. I will take a look at Titanium; good software is worth it.

New unit arrives tomorrow. I'll update once I'm finished.

Thanks for the pointers!
[HTC Aria General] ChargingPaladin:
Got the second Aria last Tuesday.

TitaniumBackup ended up being all that I needed. I did get the donate version but market links had stayed intact anyway so the necessary backup/restore can be done with the free version.

Root/flash took only about 15 minutes this time, as opposed to a couple hours with the first Aria. I ended up using Liberated_B003 as opposed to a Nandroid backup of the first phone (B002).

Sense had some trouble syncing contacts/facebook at first. It didn't seem to accept TitaniumBackup restore of some user data (Security issue?). All settings transferred fine except for the unlock pattern; just had to reset it. Swype had to be reinstalled from scratch as well; it recognized that it was a different phone. That's it after a week; pretty painless.

Thanks again!

Guys, I just got an unlocked Nexus One with Froyo on it that is unlocked but I can't install this program because it tells me my phone has to be rooted but I thought it was the same thing..?

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.org-pbxes-fontsize-BiEA.aspx

Can anyone help me?

Also, is there anyone in my area (Charlotte, NC) that has a nexus one that can show me how to use it and show me a few shortcuts?

Thanks

George
[Android Apps and Games] westicle:
unlocked means it can be used on different carriers, its not the same as rooted. root access means you can adjust and change system properties on your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] guiri_too:
Thanks.

So, how do I root a phone and is this something I can do myself?

George
[Android Apps and Games] evilkorn:
Yes, see the nexus development section.

I compiled my first ROM from source FRF91 for N1 w/root su+busybox+de-odex+gapps. The time of my AOSP -b master sync was around 9:00a pst, 07/10/10. This is not a "kang" of Modaco or CyanogenMod but I credit both and all teamdouche since I regularly need to look into their work to teach myself. Thank you dferreira and jr33 for not flaming my many noob questions and also thanks to dsixda for his reqularly updated android kitchen.

I still can't do much customizing and adding features because I still have to get better at too many things...sorry. Feel free to report bugs and I hope some of you could tell me how to fix simple things or add features by directing me to resources.

I am using themes by micromod777 for FRF91 that do work on this ROM.

Added:

Original Boot Animation (aka Holiday)

APN list

Trackball wake/unlock (crimsondr)

NFL app (jlevy73)

AccuWeather widget (allows multiple locations)

Logger app (michael.novakjr)

If you don't have the new radio installed, fastboot flash radio first.

Flash the ROM .zip after full wipe.

Remember to to do a nandroid backup first.

Really had to bump your Rom because no one was using it? nice...
[Nexus One Android Development] funkatiko:
Why this kind of comments? Do u think they help in anyway?
[Nexus One Android Development] SoleOfJohn:
He's also the kind of guy who knows nothing other than wipe & flash and has nothing positive to offer the community... =/
[Nexus One Android Development] lpasq:
no... i bumped it because i had an old post that i wanted to re-title and use. that post had no replies so i recycled it. why the hate?

thanks for trying out this rom guys. it is not a cut-n-paste. i really did compile from source. it took 5 alphas to get to this release. it is like a hobby for me to try and solve puzzles and that's how i tackled making the rom. i have zero programming knowledge and have fun relaxing trying to follow steps in a process to accomplish a goal.
[Nexus One Android Development] zizoty:
When will you work on your desire rom project again? We really need someone to work on desire port beside paul. hopefully you can challenge yourself and make that desire rom perfect.
[Nexus One Android Development] nopenope:
If you added stuff then cool but just the post saying *bump* not added new things to first post makes it seem that you just wanted your post to the top again. And to the guy who says i've never done anything for this community you might wanna change that ;) and then your post well what have you done. my reply is don't worry its more then you'll ever. SO props to the update then :)
[Nexus One Android Development] lpasq:
thank you. ...not an update though. it's a source build compile. the post i recycled had a paste-n-bake kang of an early aosp 2.2 that chris soyars put out via a tweet... ...and hundreds of people downloaded it but not one person posted a reply since i made clear i simply was passing it along.

so you know... i think the other flame was also intended for me...not you. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
not bad! gonna give this a shot!
[Nexus One Android Development] blunden:
How about compiling Stk.apk and extract the dictionaries from the LatinIMEGoogle.apk and putting them in the corresponding locations in your LatinIME source. That will get you more layouts than the Google keyboard and still all the features since they have now been included in the AOSP version. :) The Stk.apk (SIM Toolkit) is also useful for a lot of people, and only work AOSP based roms, and might possibly drive more people towards this rom if they want the stock experiance.

It should simply be a matter of running 'make -j4 LatinIME' and 'make -j4 Stk' with the -j flagset to your number of cores + 1 or 2. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] lpasq:
I shall pm you prior to attempting so I can get clarification on any questions I may have. Thank you.
[Nexus One Android Development] RMGeren:
I'm working on the same kind of project you are. The problem I'm running into is that every app that tries to access GPS location FCs on me. Did you ever come across this? Maps won't run at all, and I've had to set my homepage to something other than Google since it FCs the browser when it calls for location. I've got a working build otherwise!
[Nexus One Android Development] lpasq:
Very cool that you have a working build environment. What OS are set up in?

I do not get the error you describe. Run a logcat either with ADB or using Logger from Market. Reading the log makes it easier to ask for help based on the specific errors. That is what I do. Ask the pros for advice. Some are helpful. Most ignore us noobs.

I am happy to offer whatever help I can as a rookie. Just PM me.

I'm in the exact same boat, just jumped into android about a month or two ago with my nexus (from an iPhone 2g, no less lol), ain't no turning back now :D

I'm also building a rom from source, more as a side-project to better familiarize myself with Android, but if it turns out well then that's always a plus.

Good luck on your rom!
[Nexus One Android Development] lpasq:
it is nice to know that other "hobbyists" are playing with aosp and the tools used to make roms. much success to you my brother :D:D:D
[HD2 General] HD2 Jay:
Hi, could you please help. I installed the banana game then realised that the game wasn't compatible with HD2 as the game was showin g only on 3/4 of the screen and thye sense was unstable. I removed the app and the device switched offf. Sinced the I haven't been able to turn it on all i get is the initial black screen wity the pink ring. It won't resen using up down method and task 29 wont work as it is unable to connect. can anyone help....
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
what "up down method" its not up then down lol if you want to hard reset turn youre phone off press and hold up and down volume buttons and turn the phone on you should get a grey screen then follow instructions, and task 29 will work if you can get in bootloader but why would you want to wipe the mobile if you dont no what you doing?

and the banana game doesnt really give us much insight does it lol
[HD2 General] HD2 Jay:
Hi Demon,

I am glad you find this funny but here I am in tears re: the situation. I meant vol up and down for hard reset but its not working bfore turn on. I chose the task 29 as I am desperate and willing to reset to default setting. I did try vol up and down before turning on my mobile and still not working. See below url for the game downloaded but I didn't downloaded from this site I used the omarket. thanks

freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-bananas
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
I wasnt laughing mate, so can you get in bootloader?? (press and hold volume down while turning the phone on keep holding till you get a coloured screen)is you battery charged?
[HD2 General] HD2 Jay:
No I can't all i am getting is the RGD screen...

Thanks
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
what do you mean RGD screen, can you post a pic if you have a camera
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
try taking the battery cover off, and then press the vol up and vol down together, carefully. Make sure you feel the contact as you press it. I struggled at the beginning to make it wiork. the button isn't really meant to bend at both ends, so it feels like you have them both pressed, but dont.

Once you are confident that both ends are pressed, only then tap and release power to start the phone.

ALl being well, 5 or so seconds later the three coloured screen should come up.

Fingers x'd
[HD2 General] HD2 Jay:
See attachment... this is a uk t mobile phone
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
try the tip sam posted for getting into a hard reset he explain better than me, does it normally start up like that never seen that before
[HD2 General] HD2 Jay:
Yes it does normally start like that ... I did try sam's advice still same screen coming up.

Thanks
[HD2 General] HD2 Jay:
I tried again and you are right just a tap on the power as before i think i was pressing too hard on the power button ....now I have a gray screen with the following:

This operation will delete all your personal data ......

What should I do now to avoid losing all data...

Thanks
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
ok, now dont take this the wrong way mate because everyone has done this, but you must be doing it wrong or not catching the buttons right, if you have someone with you, you're easiest option would be turn your phone on as normal take your battery cover off, press and hold both volume buttons and keep holding them, get someone to press the red button near the batter with a pin, that way you have hold of both volume buttons, keep holding them while the phone is restarting and you should get a different screen come up,

like i said its quite tricky to get it the first time.

you cant not loose anything this is youre only option im affriad, but youre phone will work again
[HD2 General] HD2 Jay:
You are right, Sam's advice did work now i have a grey screen with the followings: This operation will delete all your personal data .... etc

How can i restart without losing all the data.

Thanks
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
you will loose it all mate no choice, if you want you're phone back up and running, sorry,
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
hehe, its a bit of a three handed job. I usualy use a thumb on each vol button, and my top lip to press power, lol.

I think sadly your data is gone. I can't think of a way to save it if the phone wont boot.

Plus, if this banana thing did mess your phone up, you want to be sure its gone.

(A good lesson in syncing your data regularly :) )

If the hard reset doesn't work, then my next steps would be to task29 from bootloader (volume down and power, dont touch vol up) followed by flashing your stock rom over usb.
[HD2 General] HD2 Jay:
Thats fine, I am happy with that. Thanks to the both of you... you guys are legends.

Have a good evening.

Jay
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
credit to Sam he great at explaining things properly, Glad you got it sorted mate
[HD2 General] HD2 Jay:
lol nah you were both great!!!!!

take care

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] boleap:
Okay, I know Flickr (from Yahoo!) is a great photo sharing site, but when Picasa is a Google product, how is it there's no app (that I've seen-maybe I'm missing something) for Picasa for the Eris? It's just odd to me, that's all. I use Picasa like it's going out of style, and I wish there was a way...

Am I missing something? If so, please, do tell! :confused:
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Tarpit_Carnivore:
If you hit share when selecting a photo it lets you choose picasa
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] boleap:
Sorry, I guess I was more aiming at finding a Picasa App to view pictures. I apologize for not stating that properly! lol I knew about sharing pics, just wanted to view them like you can on your Flickr account.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Lemcott:
picasa, being owned by google, doesnt really need an app per se.

google is just damn good at making mobile websites. none of their software have apps except for things made specifically for apps (shopper, etc), things that wouldn't work well with the current mobile web technologies (finance), or voice, which really does need an app to be more closely integrated with texting/calling, and for it to be able to notify you of new messages.

all of google's services, like reader and picasa, and so many more, just stay online. Google is a very very big "cloud" company. cloud computing is the whole basis of android, and the upcoming chrome os.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
Lemcott is correct. Just open your browser and browse to google.com (if that's not already your homepage :)), tap 'more' at the top of the page and then select Photos from the drop-down. That gives you access to all of your Picasa albums. Your other option is to use the 3D Gallery app. It syncs with Picasa.

I have been using Resco Keyboard pro for about a week now and I love it, I find it to be far more accurate than others but do have 1 little annoying issue and was wondering if anyone else has this?

If starting a new message for example and you tap in the receipt box at the top and start typing someone name, my old stock keyboard would automaticly bring up the contacts ! the only way i can make the resco keyboard do it is by typing some of the name then press the back button ! and then the contact list appears???

anyone had this issue ?:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobiascrystal:
you're not alone

i too used the beta version of the resco keyboard and had the same issue. the developer knows about the issue. and from what i hear there has been an actual release and i am not sure if that issue was fixed. have you tried to ask in the windows developement arena where it was originally started?

Is there a way how to set where if I'm on opera mobile and I see a youtube video and If I click on the link it will open the actual youtube program instead of windows media player? because it doesn't work..
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] patrick_spd4u:
Opera does not supports Adobe Flash (used in YouTube to view videos) out of the box. You need the Flash support for Opera, you can try finding for it in All Opera Mobile/Mini versions: Official thread.

Wait, you just want to view videos in YouTube, why not use the built-in YouTube app?

welcome to xda, please use search first before starting a thread. lazy people is usually shunned in most forums, so be patient and read up. :)

To be fair, it would have been easier (and quicker) to look through the first page of the ROMs forum section and find a Manila 2.5 ROM than to post here.

So in essence, by being lazy, you've created more work for yourself. Well done :D

So a while ago KanYe West dropped some shoes... now the Air Yeezy's those were kinda fail, but the KanYe West x Louis Vuitton... yeah.

I wanna get a pair but at the same time, don't have $1,000+ to blow on a pair of shoes that I'll grow out of in a month, so I have 2 choices;

1) Get soe knock-offs for like, $100 - $150.

2) Get another kind of shoes that look just as nice.

That's why I started this Thread. I don't wanna do Option 1, but if I have to, I will. So Option 2, can anybody help me out and show me some nice shoes that would go really really nice with skinny jeans?

I did not even need mine unlocked yet , but for $10.70 , just had to do it, got my unlock code in about 15 minutes , and it worked fine ...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phantoms:
Do you have a friend with TMobile? Have him/her put their sim in your HD2 and then have them call TMobile from the phone requesting to unlock the phone.

Let them tell TMobile that they are planning on going out of the country and want to be able to use various providers. Tmobile will provide the unlock code to a current tmobile user.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tref:
What exactly do you mean by this? I have a TMOUS HD2 coming and will need to unlock it from Tmobile. Are you saying this is all that will have to be done to unlock it?

Thanks, I've done a ton of searching and there are not concise answers to this that I have found.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
Dont get excited, , what it means is that rather than have to put a different sim into the phone to automatically bring up the unlock code wizard so you can enter the code, you can start the wizard manually and enter the code, thus you can unlock it whilst you still only have the tmo sim to work with.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tref:
Ah, thanks. I figured it wasn't what it sounded like. :)

So, "the guy from eBay" seems to be the place to go for a quick and successful unlock code? The price is right anyway.

[EVO 4G Android Development] GiantSloar:
Looked through the rooting guide and I have a question revolving around some testing I need to do. Please bear with me and I appreciate any assitance or advice.

Here is the issue:

When running both the Incredible and the Evo, Exchange 2007 will sync natively when encryption of the device is required. On other 2.1 devices, such as the Moto Droid, and the virtual devices, native sync will fail as it can't support encryption requirement. This is the same with 2.2 virtual devices.

Since the Evo or Incredilbe sync via ActiveSync and don't toss an error, I need to know if the mail database is actually being encrypted. I know that Android does not support full device encryption like the iphone or winmo devices.

I currenlty have a Sprint Evo for testing this. I want to keep the OS as close as stock as possible, so I can see what will happen with our users that purchase these.

1. If I root only, will I still have basically the stock image running, or does it load a custom ROM?

2. If it is replaced, can I put the stock ROM on the phone while still retaining root access.

3. I'll look around with a file explorer, but does anyone know offhand where the mail database are kept. This is the key as I need to know if this database is encrypted.

If anyone has other advice for me, I'm all ears. Thanks in advance.
