[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rollrsk8ter:
Sorry for sounding like a noob….because I am … lol

I couple weeks ago I rooted Evo using the

SimpleRoot OTA 1.47.651.1 method

Then Installed Fully rooted stock 1.47.651.1 in one shot (no adb!)

Did nandroid backup

Then I installed Sprint Lovers ROM (including 2.05.00.06.01 wimax/baseband radios)

Been enjoying, installing apps, customizing.

Use Titanium Backup to backup regularly

Now I want to try some other ROMs like CyanogenMod-6!

I now have installed Rom Manager

Flashed ClokWorkMod Recovery (2.5.0.1)

And did another nandroid backup

So now can I just flash a different ROM, use Titanium restore to restore applications such as K-9 Mail and all my settings/accounts/etc and these will work on the new ROM?

Then if I want, I just use nandriod restore and Evo will be exactly where I am today (with Sprint Lovers)?

If so, does restoring applications/data also work backing up on a 2.1 ROM and restoring on 2.2 ROM?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
For the most part, yes. But there may be some issues restoring EVERYTHING from Ti back to a different ROM. Start with just apps you need, then accounts, see how that goes. I haven't had issues, but it might just be cleaner that way, and if it's not that difficult to just set up your accounts again, you could avoid potential issues that way.

But, yes, Ti should give everything back to you after the flash. Even scenes!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
Also don't forget to wipe before flashing!

Well, not Sure if the past should be here, I think so.

*I was tinkering with a rom (Ledro id for desire), and wanted to take a look at the xml, in such framework-res.apk, but that open from the pc, I get: hexadecimal value 0x03 is an invalid character (with xml notepad). I still open it but it is unintelligible.

What are apk's trying to open with java (do not know if I have what it takes to open them) and that makes me: failed to load main-class manifest attribute ....

I just want to tweak a little, have if I learn slowly.

Sorry for my english I am from spain
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
XML files in apks are compiled to binary form, so you can't open them directly. You have to use some decoding tool: apktool (in my signature), Apk Manager (a wrapper around apktool) or AXMLPrinter2 (older and less powerful tool: can't rebuild XML and only partial info is decoded).

And no, you can't run apk files using Java on your PC.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dany_danay:
Thanks, I will try

Edit: lol I dont know how I can install apktol in Windows...

I unpack the files into c:/ and now?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BobSlob:
I recently purchased an android phone used, and it was pre-rooted.

I'm trying to get it back to stock firmware, as I hit reset data and now it won't boot. I have do the volume-down key fastboot menu and the home+power recovery options, but I have no idea howto restore it to original firmware from Rogers.

When plugging into the computer, it fails to properly install the usb drivers aswell, maybe because I cant boot the phone normally?

I'm really new at this, which is why I want to go to stock, thus I can relearn everything from scratch.

Also, on a side note, anyone know a place to get a replacement LCD screen, or a means of connecting the digitizer that has the ribbon-cable connection part of the lcd screen missing?

Cheers,

Bobbo
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] SL:
I would suggest you download the original rom and then load the original SW using recovery. Press "home and the start button and hold until the recovery menu comes up.

As for installing the ADB, you may not have installed the proper USB driver.....

check to see if your computer recognises the phone....

If not, you can manually install the USB driver.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BobSlob:
Awesome, managed to finally restore the original Rogers firmware.

Now I'm getting an error when I try and launch the phone. android.process.acore stopped.

I can get text messages and wifi works, but the phone app crashed each time I try and load it. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] Chiefbrain:
Is there any taskmanager / taskkiller, in which different actions can be defined for display-off-button and display-timeout?

I used a Taskmanager which killed the apps previously defined on pressing the power key (on top of the phone).

After updating, it kills my tasks if the screen goes off. Therefore, tasks are killed if power button is pressed AND if screen times out.

It was very nice before the update, killing the apps on pressing the button and having a low display timeout which saves battery but allows me to continue what i was doing after re-enabling the screen.

Is there any taskmanager / taskkiller which has this functionalitiy?

I noticed there is a default google calender usually and recently I noticed there is a new one called ' my calender'. Why are there 2 google calender on my device?

I logged to gmail.com but it only show I have one default calender. Is it because of the new firmware?

I am using JM2

Sent using Samsung Galaxy S
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
The "my calendar" is a local calendar that isn't synced with Google calendar.

As to why there is such a calendar, it's for example very convenient if you want a business calendar, that is also updated by your assistent, and a local private calendar that you don't want to share.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rithina:
Thanks.. but I am seeing my friends/contacts birthday on 2 calendar now :\

I wonder how 'my calender' got my contacts birthday while I always sync to my google calender.

Any reason why? thanks again...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
OP, where do you see the My Calendar? I'm on JM2 also but don't seem to see a second calendar.

Anyone know if there is a way to prevent syncing the calendar to the cloud?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
if you go in the normal calendar app and in the settings where you can choose your calendar to be displayed you will see google calendar and my calendar

That's what I have

And on my phone , my calendar has 3 times each birthday which makes 4 times with google and 5 times with my corporate calendar

I can tel you that I won't miss any calendar now

As for my calendar, I have synced with Kies so I guess it's the reason for 1 occurence. Then I can see that there is one coming from Facebook ( even there is a also a dedicated facebook calendar which could give me a 6th birthday :D)

It's a little bit a mess

EDIT : ok so I looked at my contact anmd I can see that there is 3 linked account : corporate account, facebook account and the "my phone" account

So my calendar is goignt to take the birthday from your contact. If you have your contact coming from google and you disaply my calendar and google calendar you will see twice the birthday.

That's kind of stupid

The N1 I bought on eBay is rooted and has 2.2 on it, I was wondering when 3.0 or whatever comes out can I just update it through google or do I have to do something else because its rooted? Im not really interested in ROMS and Mods or anything to be honest I just want the stock ROM, will this be a problem?

Thanks.
[Nexus One General] prettyboy85712:
Not an issue either way. You would just manually flash the update from your sdcard.
[Nexus One General] xXJay_RXx:
asked so many times. maybe you should do some searching around. simply no. you would have to flash a stock rom to get any updates
[Nexus One General] solidkevin:

I have tried for some hours now to catch the problem, nowhere are good resources to read.

I have a server application running on my phone (Windows Mobile 6.1)

Binding the TCP Listener to 127.0.0.1:PORT does work, if I type the URL from within the device.

Then I tried to connect via WIFI. At first: All WiFi Settings are correct, I know all IPs and pings are possible ... BUT: When I try to access the server from within the wifi network I don't get through. I've bound the listener for testing purposes to 127.0.0.1 and to the IP of my Wifi card. but nothing helped. Is there a kind of firewall or why can't I use a socket connection from PC to PPC?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HelderJr:
Friends,

I´m writting you to ask for help for a ancient problem I have with WM (since I had a Touch HD). I use a lot the calendar function and also the reminders.

But, I´m facing a terrible problem: the phone is not showing the notifications anymore. The curious part is that if I set a Task, the phone wakes up and rings. But if it´s an appointment, it doesn´t wake up nor even show any notification icons or sounds. I have lost some appointments due this.

I have set all settings to play sounds; hard reseted the phone and installed the programs I most use and tested to see if would play the sound and the notification. After one week of "stability" (I mean, the phone was giving me the notifications and I didn´t install any programs), it stopped again to show APPOINTMENTS reminders.

Has anyone faced this problem? Do you know a solution to this? I have an HD2 with stock T-mobile ROM.

Please, help me!

I would love to have an app like AirPhones, available on the iPhone, for the EVO.

So you want to be able to access and play music stored on a local network?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] AlKapwned:
In a sense yes, what the app does from my understanding is allows any audio coming out of the speaker to be streamed. So you can listen to the same audio simultaneously on your pc and your phone. So it doesn't just have to be music it can be audio from youtube clips or videos as well.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljbaumer:
Ok so i just installed linpack on a friends iphone 3gs running os4 and i ran a few test and it maxed out at 30.x mflops and i was amazed that an iphone could get to such high speeds.

i mean i hate iphones but this just kinda shows that they are good at somethings....

plz don't flame me for writing this.

the iphone wasn't overclocked or jailbroken (rooted) either.

why does the iphone get so many more mflops than the droid eris or even the nexus one?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljbaumer:
31 veiws = no response?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
I've said a million times benchmarks mean nothing =p especially mflops. But the iphone has a much more powerful processor than our phone and it's optimized for single app processing so it can concentrate more on each app.

Try the quadrant test, it's at least somewhat more reliable.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramseyja:
it is because the iphone is a magically device crafted by Steve Jobs, who is really the second coming of the lord and savior Jesus Christ. Steve used his divine demi god powers to make a device to save our souls from damnation.

/this is what iphone followers really believe.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
or that could be it
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
Using that logic -- given that the iPhone in the past didn't support multi-tasking -- it could get away with a much less powerful processor.

The real reason is, in order for that benchmark app to be allowed in the "store", is that the numbers have to multiplied by a factor of 4. :p
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljbaumer:
sounds like something mr. jobs would actually do.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
The iPhone still doesn't use true multitasking and is therefor still optimized for single process-processing. It uses save states to RAM, which is ****ty in comparison to android multitasking but it allows for the cpu to go 100% when working on a benchmark application.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazzpatriot:
well they need to pray to this god to help them remove the battery ahha
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djclark:
Enough with the idiotic misinformation. The iPhone OS has ALWAYS been a multitasking OS. Even running iOS 3 - you are running multiple things at once. iOS 4 added support for running third party apps side by side. iOS is based on Mac OS X - which has preemptive multitasking, threading etc...

Your cluelessness is astounding. If you don't know what you are talking about - don't chime in. If you truley understood how modern OSs work ie linux, mac os x - you'd be ashamed you posted the drivel you did.

The higher scores may have something to do with the fact that iOS apps are compiled obj-c. No runtime / No need for a JIT etc...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Excuse me but what is objective c i am new to computers

edit: :( It doesn't let you put everything in all caps? That sorta ruins the effect.

Anyway I know plenty about computers lol but I know much much more about hardware than software.

edit edit: Oh wow I totally forgot to respond lol the iphone os4 still only uses save states to ram for multitasking. Or at least ios3 did, I know so little about ios4 but I know that the release for 3 is a version of the release for 4, so my point is STILL valid. phew. And just to answer the question further the iphone isn't a piece of crap, it's got a pretty nice processor.

who really cares about the iphoney anywayzz ? u cant remove the battery the icons are friggen ugly , u cant make a call without a cover , and this front facing camera ,, what good is it if the people u talk to dont have the same phone ? just wondering lol bottom line, the iphone is for little kids tryin to be cool android is for the reall world

sorry just my opinion
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djclark:
Apologies for being so harsh. It's just a habit I've gotten from being on andriod forums.com. So much misinformation over there. Objective-C is a object oriented variant of C. Do a google for Objective-C for more info. Tried posing a link, but I got a warning. It's a very nice language and as I mentioned before is compiled. I also forgot to mention that Apple also uses the GPU to accelerate math functions - so that may also be another reason why the iPhone owns on linpacks.

this state saving is an optimization. If the app is not doing anything, there is no reason to have it take cycles or memory. It does not mean that the iPhone doesn't have true multitasking.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
I was being sarcastic about not knowing about objective c >_> it just loses its effect over the internet lol

I know a bit about programming, in fact I know C++ more than any other language (not saying a whole lot.)

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egzthunder1:
Moved to General.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nindoja:
I disagree that the article proves your point. The article basically bashes Apple for not automatically making all apps "multitasking compatible," which is complete crap. As a developer, I wouldn't want Apple to decide how my app works when it's "minimized" to the dock.

Now, the article does mention the save states:

All that means is that when an app is idle it gets written out to disk (in this case flash memory) instead of taking up RAM. All modern operating systems that support multitasking do this, whether the OS is running on a mobile device (android, WM, iOS) or on a PC (linux, OS X, Windows, Solaris, etc.).

djclark: You state that Apple is using the GPU to accelerate math functions, but are you sure that happens on the iPhones? I looked up the GPU in the latest iPhone, which is technically integrated in the A4 processor, and according to wikipedia the GPU is the PowerVR SGX 535 GPU.

When I looked up that GPU, I don't see the capability to offload math functions onto the GPU.

Given that the latest iPhone has the same GPU as the 3gs, I don't believe they are using the GPU to do math functions on the iPhone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljbaumer:
This may be a stupid question but I am going to ask it anyways.

If the iPhone saves the app's state onto a disk and the OS runs so smoothly how come other OS's don't just save app data onto a disk also? Or does the OS just run so smoothly because it is on C++?

I mean I have used the iPhone os4 and multitasking works decently.

I like it better on Android but it actually kinda works on os4
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
It's like using only virtual RAM instead of your actual RAM ie: You wouldn't want to run programs off of your hard drive since it's much slower than your RAM.

iOS is smooth because of the fact that it's written in C. It does not multitask as well as an Android phone that keeps the program in RAM.

Dell has announced the prices for the much anticipated Streak and Aero Android phones. The 5-inch Streak will be $299.99 with an eligible two-year AT&T agreement, and $549.99 if bought outright. It's normal-sized little brother, the Aero, will run you $99.99 with contract, and only $299.99 off contract.

For the Streak, you will need to sign up for the pre-sale opportunity, which gives you a spot in line, free shipping and a $0.99 cent Plantronics Bluetooth headset. Those who register will receive a special purchase link sometime on July 27, and if you don't use it before July 28, the deal disappears.
