I just completed reassembly of mine. The motherboard would be the easier of the two, if only because you have to remove less parts to get to it.

Don't let difficulty be the deciding reason. Choose the combination of parts that are in the best condition. You'll have no problems.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaggah:
i've bricked my g1 for about 2 yrs now and i've kept it since and even got another messed up g1 with screen problems to swap the motherboards. But i've never got around to do it simply because i saw a few vids on the disassembly of the g1 is quite complicated. Anyone know a quick and easy way to get to the motherboard please let me know.

EzHero V5.0.1 or VanillaEclair 4.0?

I have my Hero for almost 3 months now and I keep flashing roms with Sense. (VR12 my favourite). I want to give Vanilla a shot. All I'm looking from a rom is to have a good battery life ( More than 24 hours with a little twitter, messaging and a few calls. ) Which one should I choose?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erasmux:
First if you like VR12, try to install this:

http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=97&t=1928

I am using it (well i made it) and battery life and performance is very good - much better than the original VR12.

Additionally, its always good to try out alternatives including Vanilla. Personally I prefer the VanillaEclair but I think they are both good ROMs. Just make a nandroid backup and try them both ;)

Hey I just got my Vibrant and love it but they excluded almost all the standard Android Widgets. Is there any way to get those or even better HTC widgets Like Clock, Calender, Music, RSS News, anything? And yes I'm rooted and ready to go.
[Vibrant General] Pops_G:
The simple answer is no. The complicated answer is you can get a lot of widgets that look/work just like the HTC ones.

Here is a similar topic on this issue. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=708127&highlight=beautiful+widget

P.S. Without doing all the work for you I will say "Pure" calendar is 10x better than the HTC one.

I believe that someone has tried this before but the Hero does not support video out. I might be wrong.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] larryccf:
cash back discount

which is smoking - if off contract price is $439, drops to $285 with bing
[Galaxy S I9000 General] temperbad:
What's Bing?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] larryccf:
bing - the search engine microsoft built to compete with google

they started this bing cashback program sometime back to get attention to their search engine and i'd forgotten about it - the cashback program expires July 30th, but this purchase is still eligible

if you google for it, and go to their home page (Windows Live ID), once you've set up an acct, go to shopping page, enter "t mobile" in the search bar at top, it'll pull up a bunch of hits, but at the top there'll be what looks like an ad for Tmo

read it and it sez 35% discount or cashback

go to tmo thru that ad or link - once there, go to the samsung vibrant page

and there you'll see the bing cashback logo just under the phone's picture

the purchase has to be thru that link, ie online at tmo's site

and you'll need a paypal acct to receive the cashback

i asked on another forum i'm on about bing cashback really working, as i remembered folks there talking about it - they all said it's for real - on small items, they pay right away, on major items, they take 60 days (which is what the bing cashback page said) but still, $285 beats $439 (if that's the real off contract price)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Satertek:
Would this only work on a new account? The Bing logo disappears as soon as I log in.

I guess if I do have to start a new plan, I can cancel immediately, and if they charged the whole $60 for the month + $35 activation that still saves me $80 overall, heh.

Edit: Looks like I would have to completely cancel my current account and make a new one, and they won't let me transfer my number on the site so there's the possibility I might lose it entirely. Unless you want to ditch your current number looks like current subscribers are SOL.

i am a noob I tried three methouds to root. Unrevoked, needless to say I got OTA and killed it, Simple root and simple root OTA. Simple root Ota just fails to do the job but on the first pass it did finish. On the second pass I ended up in a boot loop. and ow i am still trying root. Phone is still working I have not bricked it yet. But recovery mode seems to go to a black screen with a small phone and a Big red arrow. Can anyone help. I want to fully root but cant get the job done.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
hmm. Did you wipe appropriately (never used that method). Boot loops usually indicate that

If you got the first half done, see if you can complete the nand unlocked with this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701835

You might be able to get into your recovery if you connect it to your computer and perform: adb reboot recovery. That black screen is sign that you don't have a custom recovery flashed. Following the link above, if you can complete it, will flash a custom recovery that can be accessed through boot loader
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctcinc216:
I think all this stuff has been done by simple root OTA version. I can now use unrevoked to get root and use Wi Tether.

Have you looked at simple root. I think NAND is still locked. and unrevoked does the unlock. Is there a simple way to do this part. and why does the simple methoud promis full root with NAND unlock. I would like to put in a custom rom. but I have come so close to bricking. Is there a simple methoud to finish this. Half of this stuff I dont understand

Do a factory reset, go through SimpleRoot, and when you get your recovery flashed, wipe ALL of the data: /data, cache, and dalvik-cache. That *should* solve your issues.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctcinc216:
What is DaLVIK Cache I tried the Flash recovery in simple root, I choose Clockwork. That cache name is not there and thats when I ended up with the loop. Do you wipe the phone before flash or after.

IUt would realy help if I had good instructions Simple root dosen't give any.

Sorry for all the pitiful noob stuff And thanks for careing enough to answer.

I can root with unrevoked and use tether. I just want to get this right next time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctcinc216:

[Droid X General] SupremeBeaver:
I agree with you, but the Ace looks like its going to have the poor Snapdragon (with crappy GPU), and the Galaxy S is great hardware wise, but i can't get over the look.

Moto need to bring this to Europe soon.
[Droid X General] little_rock:
I want to know how one would notice the crappy gpu tho?

we talking games or video playback?
[Droid X General] SupremeBeaver:
games mainly. i've seen some of those comparison vids on youtube between the nexus one and galaxy s. The difference is huge. And now that android is booming we're going to see much more demanding 3d games and im scared im going to be left in the dust if i get one of those "outdated" snapdragon phones. If HTC upgrades to the newest snapdragon line then i'd be ok wit that.
[Droid X General] little_rock:
Fair play, I don't play games on em, other than the utterly kickass bonsai blast lol.

Does the gpu help with video too?

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbetcher:
(I posted this in general, but I think there's too much technical info for any user to be able to assist. I realize this isn't development related, but delete the post if it's too off-topic please.)

Over the past few months since 'Grocery iQ' has been out, I have been trying to install it. Despite trying it on several different ROMs on my old G1 and now several different ROMs on my Slide (including now Froyo) it seems that it doesn't like to install. From my experience it is the biggest direct-download from the Market that I have come across weighing in at 8.01MB - by 'direct-download' I mean that the application itself is downloaded entirely from the Market and the size I reference isn't from 'additional' files downloaded to the SD card after running the program.

Everytime I try to install it the system just says 'Installation Unsuccessful' and one time I got an error code: -18 (on Eugene's Froyo Kanged RC1). Fortunately I'm fluent enough with the device to have my SDK setup and I grabbed a logcat from the adb server. Using what debugging mind-set I've had from coding I was able to find the problem is:

D/VoldCmdListener( 122): asec list
I/PackageHelper( 1703): Size of container 10 MB 8401843 bytes
D/VoldCmdListener( 122): asec create smdl2tmp1 10 fat {} 10010
E/Vold ( 122): ASEC file '/mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec' currently exists - destroy it first! (No such file or directory)
W/Vold ( 122): Returning OperationFailed - no handler for errno 98
E/PackageHelper( 1703): Failed to create secure container smdl2tmp1
E/DefContainer( 1703): Failed to create container smdl2tmp1

What exactly is happening here? It almost looks like it's trying to create a secure environment for the install or the program uses copy-protection. Can someone please elaborate on this - hopefully a dev?

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0man:
That's odd, it installed fine for me on SlideM4

How much free space do you have? Are you doing the install over WiFi?

After doing some research I believe that ASEC is part of the copy protection scheme used in a2sd on Froyo.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbetcher:
I have 95.51MB free >.> And I'm not sure why WiFi or 3G would matter, but I've tried both ways (unintentionally).

Interesting. I'm not using A2SD though since my SD card is formatted entirely FAT32 (Froyo didn't like my card being FAT32+EXT3+Swap), but I wonder if Froyo A2SD runs entirely on FAT32? It would be complicated for Google to require people to partition their SD cards now that Froyo has A2SD built-in.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0man:
Downloads over networks that aren't stable like 3G can cause bad downloads.

Froyo runs a2sd entirely on the SD card, if the app doesn't have the proper line of code specifying whether to go to SD card or internal memory I think that it won't install properly on Froyo, not sure though.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbetcher:
I'm still not sure whether it tries to use the FAT32 partition for A2SD (which I doubt since it cannot do symlinks among other stuff) or EXT2/3 on the SD card if present.

Anyways, I was fiddling with the settings more on the phone and there's a new option in the "Settings" that is "Cyanogenmod Settings." In there you can tell it whether to install to your SD card or not (it's not like the old checkbox for A2SD). I told it internal storage and the program still failed to install for the same reason. :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultan.of.swing:
That is weird because I was gooing to tell you to go into CM settings and make sure to select internal. Maybe it is just the app???
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbetcher:
No - no one on the market has made any comment regarding the problem. In fact everyone is saying how they love the program (minus the occasional moron).

I've had this same problem with my G1 and on a couple other ROMs on the Slide. R0man said it installed for him though on SlideMR4

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0man:
nbetcher, Froyo doesn't put the full app on SD card, just the majority of the files.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fordude:
GroceryIQ

Really basic:

1. download

2. copy/move to SDK tools directory

3. From SDK tools directory (where file is downloaded) type this:

adb install com.coupons.GroceryIQ.apk

Hope this helps!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbetcher:
Thanks for the upload. I already have an ADB environment setup, but unfortunately this method did not change the error. ADB returned:

pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.coupons.GroceryIQ.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR]

ADB's logcat shows the same error as before (when installed using Market). :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fermunky:
Slightly off topic, but you do ask about it, and I don't think I've seen it answered here, but in one of Eugene's thread, they do state that Froyo's inherent a2sd is all handled on FAT32 partitions. And I think on Eugene's Froyo release, it specifically runs into issues if you have an EXT partition... Just some anecdotal info.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcbboy:
froyo has apps2sd built in so no partitioning of the card is required. Just straight fat32 which is what it should be by default. This makes sense because the mainstream user isn't going to have a clue on how to partition an SD card and that just wouldn't be very user friendly...

And yes the froyo CM rom will have issues if your card has an ext but Eugene said apps2sd doesn't even work on the rom anyways. It's there but it does nothing.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0man:
The apk is corrupted, apparently.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbetcher:
Nope. :( I used the same APK as Fordude (whom was able to install the program) provided through a reliable channel. If we took MD5Sums of both files I'd bet $10 that they're both the same.

After researching this extensively I'm coming to the conclusion that:

* This is a protected app; and

* Protected apps are broken on CM6/Espresso at the moment; OR

* There is some mis-configuration with Eugene's ROM; OR

* The kernel that is being used doesn't support a new(er) version of the dm_crypt api/module and/or the usage there-in with Froyo.

The last one in that list is the most likely, in my opinion. Many things like the camera are the first things to break in these major system upgrades since the software is using different APIs than the kernel module supports. (Remember that the kernel being used is still from the ORIGINAL shipment of this phone - 2.6.29, which is now over a year old and was specifically compiled for Espresso-stock.)

While I don't expect his ROM to be finished, I don't think this is something that anyone is even specifically aware of yet. It would be nice to know what Eugene thinks of this though.

Thanks for the help guys. Hopefully this will provide the community with some more information to make Froyo come to us quicker.
