Hi, I have a Nexus One with firmware EPF30. What is the easiest and safest way to get Froyo running on this device?

I have read the stickys but just want to be certain as I don't wan to end up with a very expensive paper weight.

Am I right in thinking I can simpy unlock the bootloader and flash any froyo build onto it?

I have read the instructions on how to unlock the bootloader but still unsure how I would flash a ROM.

I am totally new to all this so apologise if I have asked a simple question.

Thanks in advance.

Hey all

Just got the OTA 2.2 build FRF91. So far its been great. However I do have one problem. It is extremely annoying that the new messaging client shows the contact icon on every message within a thread. Is there a way to make it so within a thread the messages just show the name of the person. Like how it was in 2.1? Or is there a way I can put the 2.1 build of the messaging client on froyo? Thanks

Don't think so. Why don't you use a third party SMS client like chompSMS which allows you to customise the UI?

Does anyone know how to install a droid app drawer, like ozzehs unrevloved rom

And please don't reccomend taghome. I dislike it
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] seanhassars:
there are tons of home replacements out there.

helixlauncher2, launcher pro, ADW.Launcher, Zeam

Take your pick.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xgphacks123:
do they have a regular droid 2.0.1 app drawer?

oh, the 2.0 drawer. no, they don't.

I work for Sprint and a customer came in with a unique problem. He is using the stock rom, didn't have any backup whatsoever for his contacts whatsoever. The gmail that was attached to his account was inadvertently removed (gmail store data cleared, google apps etc.) I was wondering if there is any way to figure out what the gmail username was, or if the contacts are saved in cache/cookies anywhere else on the phone or SD card. He lost around 10 years worth of contacts so we are trying to recover those for him. Any ideas would be very helpful. Thanks in advance. He claims that one of the reps from another Sprint store set up his phone for him, but we have no way to confirm whether it was someone else or him who set up the account.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
/data/system/accounts.db is where the account info is stored, if you use root explorer you can view the sqlite data (but not edit without another paid app)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamaford:
So he doesn't know what his username is? I'm guessing that he didn't have Gmail before the phone but did he ever email a friend from the phone? If so maybe that friend knows it.

Thats odd.... my unbranded Mini has market installed, where did you get yours from?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] psych2l:
I'm not sure if this is possible but one thing that I find annoying is when an app freezes and you have to wait a minute or so to get the force close popup to come before you can end the task. I've noticed there's no function assigned when you long press the back button, so I was wondering if it was possible to make an app that would have you force close whatever is on the screen if you long press the back button. Just putting it out there :p, cheers!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrono:
long back is randomly assigned in apps, it's used to access history in the browser for example. I just use power strip then long press on the app that was open and it lets me kill it

Have him call one of his contacts that he has emailed and ask them for the email address he sent to from. At least that will get you the username.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilfacts:
Hello everyone hope all of you are doing well

I'll make this short and simple:

1. Is there anyway to change the color of the trackball for default notifications now? (its always white)

2. Is trackball possible to blend colors? If so are there any app or even videos for demonstrating that?

(i.e. blue to red: blue > purple > pink > red; instead of blue, off, red)

3. For the desire camera, I think it's yet the best camera "app" for nexus

- able to manage exposure level depends on the point to focus

- able to FIX ISO to 100

Is there any method to make it work in froyo default rom yet? Or else, is there any camera app out there which is good enough like the desire one?

Thanks everyone!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
1. Blink from the Market.

2. Yes it's possible.

3. Don't think so yet.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilfacts:
1. yes i got blink, but it only let me to manipulate sms/mms, missed call, low battery, and low memory, how can I change the color for notifications?

2. cool, is it only available with mod roms only? no apps for that @ Froyo Stock?

3. got it.. hopefully someone can be able to do it like HTC touch input
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
2. any app can do it as long as it has it set. hi aim allows you to set the color and it worked fine when i was stock

Hi,

I am on 2.2 Build Number FRF91 and Blink is not changing the trackball colour.

Any tips????
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cajonez:
I tried Blink and it didn't work great for me. 1) It will only change the trackball color when the phone is locked. If you are looking for the light to change with the screen on, it won't happen. 2) The blink rate didn't work at all. 3) I turned off the notifications for battery and it still notifies on dwindling battery.

Hope that helps.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] damirbusic:
Ok, I have MyBackup PRO now and it works GREAT, it backups my installed .apk and Market apps and also backups all my settings and messages etc. Only thing that it does not do is Market links and settings in installed apps, but I havent tried it since I rooted my phone yesterday. So, can someone tell me which one is better and why ? I see that most of the people say that Titanium is No.1 but only thing that it has and it is GREAT feature is ability to uninstall default apps with root but MyBackup has much nicer interface. So, bottom line, which app will be better in restoring when we need it, after flashing new ROM, so which will get the phone in exactly same state as before flashing, like nothing happened ?

So please, some comments, I think that it will help a lot of people

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mobzter:
Well titanium is good for uninstalling apps that ya dont need but don't let that fool ya as titanium has the ability to backup data aswel which allows you to restore ya app back to its usual self with customisations! amongst other things such as settings, wallpapers, wifi, etc...

but to be honest its wrong to compare them both because they kind of do different things, although my backup does a good job of restoring contacts, apps, messages and more!

I think whoever has both, won't have too much to worry about!!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MarylandCookie:
Even though Titanium Backup is voted #1 backup for rooted phones, i have not had any luck with it restoring my data or apps... i get the odd force close during restore and once it apparantly restored my contacts but they were never there :confused:

Dont get me wrong Titanium Backup is way above the rest when it comes to backing up your data/links/settings pretty much everything (when it works in my case), however i stuck with My Backup Pro as it does exactly what i want... restore my data lol...

Just my 2cence.. :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] damirbusic:
Till now MyBackup PRO has done backup/restore of all apps, settings, shortcuts and phonebook flawlessly ! Things that it didnt do is restored wallpaper, widgets AND market links, that is it. And that was with non rooted phone, didnt tried it now with that feature since it says that it restores EVERYTHING including marktet links. So if, that widget - market stuff is working then it cannot be better than this, so Titanium can be the same. Or it does something even better ?

And I dont think that is wrong to compare these two since they both have Backup in their name and that is their purpose, to backup our phones. Only thing that matters is which is better in doing that ? And I think that is stupid to have both apps if we dont have to, or even if you are sure of that, what app should we use for what ?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] proyaz:
I use Titanium backup and it fulfills all my needs .. :D
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] proyaz:
Titanium backup looks geeky too. I like it that way .. lolz :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] damirbusic:
And that is why I dont like it :-) Does it restore the phone completely, like nothing happened after you flash new firmware ? I like MyBackup PRO a lot but only thing that I am missing is ability to uninstall default apps from ROMs...can I remove E-Mail, Wisepilot and Voice dialer with no problems ? Also, I am using ADW, it eats my memory, can I turn off default launcher to save some RAM ?

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mobzter:
You can remove voice dialer, wisepilot, email and more without a problem I think.

I mean I got rid of them, plus quadropop, track id, playnow, mediascape, messaging (seen as I use chompsms), alarm clock (seen as I use kaloer clock) and many more.

also if your on bout removing the default se launcher and only keeping adw then ye you can.

just be careful of certain apps such as timescape and google stuff.. usually linked to other stuff such as phonebook or market.. best not touching them (yet).. also calendar I think!!

Hope it helps!!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] damirbusic:
Yep, it is better now wothout those apps. Someone should make complete list of apps that can be removed since this is not on that list in root thread.

Tnx
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mobzter:
Not sure if it was a network thing or related to maybe removing my messaging app but I used to miss quite a few texts from friends/family :-s different timings an all!

MyBackup Root

MyBackup has just released a special root version for the root community for free..

batch backup/restore, scheduler, backup data to move between roms or different OS versions

ex: backup contacts from 1.x and restore on 2.x

it does most of the the pro version does except there is no online and one device support.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] scoobysnacks:
Titanium backup pro is a million times better.

I had some issues with mybackup..

IMO there is no comparison
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Ceballos:
I think root version is a limited version?? in description "Will work on 1 device.

" does it mean one device per account/ Or you can use your saved data on 1 device?

Had some issues too and decided to switch to Titanium, which has so many options:: Freezing app, multiple saves par app.. automatic/schedulde..

And the dev is realy responding to user recommandation.

Out of subject: I'm very dissapointed that some app on the market never get updated (i mean real update and not bug fixes) since so LONG and gain profit only because they are in top paid app.. For example

Root Explorer

206ko of line of code/ never updated / Poor UI/.. and all of this for 3€..:rolleyes: ... I wish I had skills to developp a concurent app.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] curious_yellow_eyes:
Failing that, the,only thing root explorer has going for it is the change rw permissions button. There are dozens of better file explorers that lack this one feature.

Used My Backup Root About 10 times backed up apk+ data, when I tried to restore it, no data was found.

It is a lot user friendlier than titanium, if only it didn't malfunction.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] sjamie:
So, does it come down to preference or does one app actually do something the other one doesn't? Is it best to just use both apps?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Prodigy:
Mybackup root sucks because i backed up my data many times but it actually never backs up data for some reason. I lost my data twice because of this crappy app.

Titanium backup free works perfect but less user friendly, and slightly slower- but at least it works.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] wright32873:
Titanium back up backsup all aps and data including system apps if you need it. However it dies not back up contacts or sms. I'm not sure if my backup backsup system apps. Mybackup is set out simply and seems to work faster.

Is anyone else having issues w/ the music app. not reading album art embedded in a mp3? I have tried Media Monkey, MP3 Tag and the editor in Roxio 2010.

Duh, when Dolphin HD 2.0 works in fullscreen and Dolphin HD 2.1 doesn't, it's so obvious it's an application bug. Nothing to do with Froyo.

Anyway I've already sent an email to the developers of Dolphin and they replied to me that they will fix it in Dolphin HD 2.2.

Well it adds a bar full of extra space..

But more importantly it's for us Nexus One users who are concerned with the notification bar burn-in of the lcd screen.

The lesser we see the notification bar, the better.
[Nexus One General] uoY_redruM:
Ooooh. Hmm, I might have to disable my notification bar with LauncherPro. I never thought of that, mainly because my screen disables after like 20 seconds and I never just sit there on the home screen...plus I usually move the notification bar down every so often.
[Nexus One General] C.Slater:
Yep. I've want this bug fixed because the browser is the only time your screen is on for long periods and that notification bar is burning into the screen :(

Other apps like the market, facebook, google maps, etc, should have fullscreen options too. That would be cool.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
Thanks for that... I went ahead and deleted and re-downloaded and flash is working again now. Patiently waiting for the notification bar fix.

I emailed him as soon as I saw the notification bar problem and the dev responded within an hour saying he will come out with an update soon to fix it.

In truth I don't have a Hero. I use a Moment most of the time. I am a retailer and I am embarrassed to say that I have a question about the hero. When I have activated them in the past I have tried to help customers customize the home screen but when I long hold on an icon to move it, it opens the program rather than allowing me to drag it around. I know it can be done and I'm just missing something. Please go easy on me. I know it's a super basic question.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerry43812:
Are you letting everything load while you bs with the customer? I have never heard of that problem. Try doing different ones, and you need to long press for a few seconds. Don't let go until it find the rest of the screen and gives you the trash can.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_wrong_0:
Yes it's fully loaded. The progaram opens while I'm still holding down the icon. It has happened on almost evey hero I've sold. I think it may have to do with the "scenes" in sense.
