I want to take the time to thank you all for making this root possible. I know all of you have things to do but you still have time to mess around with your phones ;) I mention Eugene more because i've been following him since he was BH_Man working with that shi**y Behold2. Anyways, THANK YOU ALL!!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
Thanks to anyone can help first of all....

This is my first Android phone....moved over from the HD2 area...

ive got so far but become stuck.

1. rooted phone

2. installed superboot

3. Done the "Fastboot flash recovery RA-Nexus 1.7.0.1.img thing" that completed fine....

and i get stuck at the going to recovery mode - this is the bit i gather where you make a backup of your existing rom.

everytime i go to the recovery option i get the triangle and the android logo....cant get round it....does any one have any advice...?

Thanks

Comfy
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmarshall428:
Try to reflash the recovery image again, sounds like it didn't take!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
will do - i think im starting to understand how it all works.....been following instructions monkey see monkey do - first time it did it, it was instant - how long should it take??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
seems to be hanging on "sending 'recovery' (3948 KB)..." - but i dont know how long it should take anyway...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokurex:
Did you press the volume up+power when you reached the screen with the triangle exclamation mark?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
ooh....no, didnt see that bit - should that take me there...?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokurex:
Yes, it might take a few tries. You have to press them simultaneously.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
nope - that doesnt do anything....ill keep trying....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
should the device manager say "android bootloader interface" or android ADB - ive seen that pop up before....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokurex:
You're currently just trying to get into recovery right? Download an app called rom manager from the market. It makes life so much easier. You can flash a recovery with just one click and there's an option to boot into recovery within the app.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
err - yeah - i think so...i think where im stuck is this nexus thingy isnt on the phone so it cant go into restore/reflash mode. Right now i know i need to get a backup of my original rom - and i dont have it....ive got the cooked rom ready but got no further than that....im at work at the moment and ive got some random users laptop on my desk that i was supposed to give back this morning - looks like that just became the testbed...im on win 7 x64 but the laptop is on xp32 - that might be a more seasoned platform....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
got it - must have been something to do with the cable - switched it around various different ports on my pc - finally started working on the usb hub - strangley i tried it on there first!! - just for anyone thats reading this in future the dev manager now says "Android Composite ADB interface" - looks like it had to be in that mode first to then send the image over - im now in the backup/restore area....what sort of backup do i do??just "Nand Backup" or "Nand + ext backup".....and the google stuff??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
Did a straight nand backup (too impatient) - im there - Cayanogen is on!!! first and foremost - thanks for the help. Im off and running.....a few more questions...

1. Where is the Nand backup - id like to make copies elsewhere - just in case.

2. Now that all of that is done - does the reflashing procedure become any simpler??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokurex:
1. On your sd card.

2. Yep, if you want to flash to other rom just do nand backup, wipe, then flash away.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
Ok - great. Again - many thanks for all of the help. It did seem daunting and i didnt really understand the concept. Although now its complete i can see how it all fits together.

One more happy modded customer.

I am using an app called "LockBot Pro". Is there a way to add the battery info to the lock screen. I am using "Damage Control v3.2 rom.

[General Questions and Answers] Pixel:
Hi,

I'm trying Froyo on my HD2, and I have a question about the native exchange support. In Windows Mobile, and in the HTC Sense mail client, you can set different send/receive policies for peak and off-peak times. I can't find the same in the native froyo mail client for exchange.

I want a 5 minute poll during working hours, but a 30 minute poll outside this, as I have under Windows. Is this possible with the native client? Am I just missing a setting somewhere?

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troid:
Apologies if this has been covered over and over and over... and my eyes just aren't seeing it anywhere!

I'm running a rooted CS Hero w/2.1 and am ready to get my feet wet with a custom rom. Everything I'm finding seems to be geared towards Sprint Heros. Is there a difference? Is there anything I should watch for or avoid? Can I grab, say, a cyanogenmod rom that's listed for the Sprint Hero and run it on mine?

Thanks for the wealth of work and info you guys have here. I've been lurking for a few weeks - you are an amazing group!

Ok, answers please. Be gentle with the new guy.

--troid
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d-shade:
You should be able to run the cyanogenmod for CMDA heros without any problems. I do not think mms would work until you add your apn settings into it though.

Also roms based on sprints ruu usually have a few errors that come up when using it with other carriers. The errors you can ignore but they get annoying. The one I always get is the PCS vision data error. The other is the handsfree activation. They also don't have voicemail notifications for non sprint users. This can be worked around by using google voice as your voicemail service.

Just make sure you don't do the radio and prl updates for sprint , as these can give you signal problems or give you roaming charges.

I am not with CS but a regional carrier and have jumped between roms every other week. Aside from the errors I get in the sprint based roms everything works fine.

Also make sure you do your nandroid backups, and read the instructions for each rom.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troid:
Thanks, d-shade. I'll make the jump and see what happens.
[Desire General] samir_d:
Hi All,

i was chatting to a friend today and they told me they were using an app called Air Video for their ipad.

Basically, it allows them to store media on their pc\laptop and allows streaming to their ipad\iphone. It can also convert, copy and stream to their ipad\iphone.

That sounds really cool...

Anything like that available for Android\HTC Desire?

i've heard of Orb, is it any good?
[Desire General] samir_d:
oops, posted in wrong thread, should be in Desire apps

Hi, Can a Mod move this thread to Desire apps, i created this in the wrong thread.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] pzumk:
Hello,

do you know uptimeprj.com? They got a team for Android too.

You can download the app for the project for free in the market. Its called DroidUptime.

But first register on uptimeprj.com by clicking the "subscripe" button at the top or here.

Now login and open the app on your phone, press the menu button and insert your password and username, set the update interval to 2 hours, go back and press start. (if you want to give your phone a nickname just write something in the "hostname" field)

Now join the Android Team by clicking the button in the middle of the site.

Have fun!

App thread on their site
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I joined it earlier today for giggles since my N1 is at 16+ days, but I have yet to see the data show up on the server.. Still shows 0 devices, etc.. The service is running and it's updated several times.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] pzumk:
what is your profile link? Mine is http://users.uptimeprj.com/xpatriick/en/

Edit // I think this is yours? http://users.uptimeprj.com/khaytsus/en/

You have to add your system. I can't remember how I did it.. if I even did something.

Your Name and password in the app is right?! check it again please
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Yep, it's all correct, I'll check it again, maybe look in alogcat.. Nothing in logcat, I've changed the password in the client (just in case I typoed), and letting it run again.
[Android Apps and Games] r3pek:
Send me an email (droiduptime<a.t>r3pek<d.o.t>org) and i'll send you a debug version to try to solve your problem with the app.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Done. By the way, does this require root to operate? I'm stock, unrooted, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] pzumk:
No it doesn't
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Odd, I just noticed my Nexus and my wifes Aria both are not updating uptime.. Anyone else seeing the same?

Aha, alogcat tells me why..

W/System.err(24291): at org.r3pek.droiduptime.DroidUptimeService.getMACAddrMD5(DroidUptimeService.java:65)

W/System.err(24291): at org.r3pek.droiduptime.DroidUptimeService.sendUptime(DroidUptimeService.java:133)

W/System.err(24291): at org.r3pek.droiduptime.DroidUptimeService$1.run(DroidUptimeService.java:49)
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Weird. I tried and tried to make it work, no go.. So I decided to put the phone on wifi and sniff the connection and see what's being sent up and received... and it's worked since.

Shame, I was trying to get the wifes Aria on the list.. it had nearly two months uptime, but locked up on her the other day.
[Android Apps and Games] r3pek:
Version 1.4 is on the Market. Hope it works better now.
[XPERIA X1 General] dark_sith:
Just switched to a Samsung Galaxy S. My conclusion:

- Exchange Sync and Android sucks, while email is ok, calendar sync is buggy

- Battery!!! I got 2-3 days with my Xperia and 2/3 day (LESS THAN ONE) on the SGS

- The Xperia can't do all the fancy android stuff. The SGS can't either because the battery is empty ...

- Xperia is robust! Hard to damage!

- WiMo may not be fast, but android also laggs sometimes

- WiMo is more intuitive for me (as a PC user)
[XPERIA X1 General] enigma1nz:
Xperia X1 sure is a great phone, I enjoy mine very much. However, if I could have Xperia's guts in my Universal.... :D
[XPERIA X1 General] altae:
I abolutely agree. There aren't many phones out there I would trade for my X1. Maybe the LG Expo but it's hardly available. The HD 2 surely is a great phone too but without a hw keyboard it disqualifies itself for me.

Im still very pleased to realise day and day again how much can be accomplished with the X1. Especially when you take into consideration that the Xperia X1 have been sold for almost 2 years now.
[XPERIA X1 General] Jonny4911:
i love my xperia

and if you want all the fancy android stuff, well then wait a while, android is making great progress! :D

best of both worlds if you ask me!
[XPERIA X1 General] sopdogg:
I loved my Xperia as well (if it weren't for my constant flex ribbon issue I would still love it). I gotta say the FROYO port to the X1 worked extremely well, even used turn by turn navigation with no problems at all. Sad that HTC Sense version of the Xperia is no longer continued. Hint, hint Jonny4911 :) I definitely like having multiple operating systems on the phone in addition to having a cool wow form factor of the Xperia. While it was still working, people would still ask me "what phone is that?!"
[XPERIA X1 General] yinjianweizxc:
I think so.....
[XPERIA X1 General] matthewpapa:
Two words that really prevent this phone from being the best I've owned and cannot be ignored in my opinion:

Quality issues
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Definitely X1 earned to be one of the best Smarties ever.

Honestly I still keep this if something irreversible will happen to my X2.

X2 could be actually X1 improved, but the software mess they made prevented this.

Pity.

The thing is I really admire SE smartphone concepts.

Hopefully WP7 device will be also great....
[XPERIA X1 General] FireBird4:
That's interesting cos I was actually thinking I should go for the Galaxy S. I still love my Xperia and only yesterday a very pretty girl asked me what it was ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] enigma1nz:
Hehe, it even gets you chicks!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] mymailx:
I love my XPERIA X1 TOO (than my X2 and Milestone). Besides of X1's most ellegance mode of my other phones, because it is a present from my dad. :)

X2 really has a big trouble in its software. It often get lag after a phone call. Why SE make a downgrade of X1 :mad: Gosh?!?

Because the review and commercial in my country rate Galaxy S as 4.5 stars :D, I plan to replace my buggy Milestone to Galaxy S this morning but it's not available yet till next two weeks in my town (In Indonesia, Galaxy S is just about to b launched). :(
[XPERIA X1 General] matthewpapa:
Happened to me occasionally too. It was great while it lasted. I used that phone until it literally fell apart.

I'm currently using the captivate (ATT galaxy S). It's a good upgrade imo. Not quite as elegant but it has impressed just as many people (including me) as my xperia did.
[XPERIA X1 General] ethanliew92:
I love to see how people amazed when they see my X1 with Android in it haha.. and they really loved it.. Though they still prefer the smooth scrolling of Iphone.. My phone beats that with multi-user interface :D:D:D

WM 6.1, 6.5, HTC Sense, PointUI roms are already that much.. Almost every few days I'll change my rom LOL.. Let's hope Android sets it foot into becoming a rom for our X1:)
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Sorry, off topic, but what's the state of the X2 firmware mess? Did they ever iron things out?
[XPERIA X1 General] sweetbeh:
x1 is great phone ever.. it have video call other phone xperia have no video phone and its still the best for me:)
[XPERIA X1 General] spine6:
I've been using this phone almost a year now and all the things i need to a person to be mobility and flexible is with this phone. I can used it with my work, traveling, exercise, gaming and even sound tripping. As of now, i haven't found any phone that could replace it.
[XPERIA X1 General] xcen_xda:
Totally agree with you man. It's frustrating that with such a great phone we have to be hit hard by quality issues. From cracks to keyboard problems to ribbon issues. It's a shame really.

SE could have almost made a near perfect phone, but they washed it down the drain with quality issues. They hit it spot on with the form factor, the design (sexiest phone I've seen, even till today), the hardware buttons (on which modern phone can you find this amount of hardware buttons even if you exclude the keyboard?), the collaboration with HTC, the OS (WM is still great and will still be great for years to come).

So many thing went so right, but just 1 issue flushed it down the drain. Sigh.
[XPERIA X1 General] metalmunna:
on the middle of 2011 some one wanted to say that he likes and loves his X1 still but will be 100% satisfied if it's more slim!!
[XPERIA X1 General] gsgflash:
The X1 hardware is great, but WinMo really does suck, the only thing it has over iOS and Android is an offline version of Garmin gps software.

I just got an Evo 3D and so far I'm much happier with it than I was with the Xperia for the past year.
[XPERIA X1 General] bummler:
the x1 is a greatphone,the standard software wm 6.1 sucks a little bit but there is so much software to tune it up.

spb mobile shell 3.5

resco explorer

r3a camera update

voice command

audio notes

navigon 7

a lot of games etc etc

i buyed it for 150 euro new with 16 gb sd card and a lot more and i am absolutly happy..just miss a better cam and multitouch or a g sensor...
[XPERIA X1 General] rmribeiro:
I buy a Xperia X1 in Uruguay.

I loved..
[XPERIA X1 General] ady_95:
I love the xperia maybe because is my firssmartphone, but after I installed a custom rom, I realised that this is not only an ordinary delfkmvice...

it is fun to switch between wm and android, to reveal 2 different personalities of the same device, but i have a small problem with my h/w keyboard(maybe i must clean it)...

my next upgrade i wish to be hd2 (leo), but i need money for that... if i will find an occasion, i will give the x1 and maybe some cash for leo...

sorry if you can't understand entirely what i wrote...

Greeetings from Romania...
[XPERIA X1 General] Sab8th:
My X1

I used an X1 for a couple of years and absolutely love it - though it's gathering dust now I've got a Samsung Omnia 7 :cool: .

I frequently flashed EnergyROMs to it to enhance its capabilities and useability, though having to reinstall everything was a pain in the proverbial :(

Just before my contract expired the keyboard became virtually unuseable (fortunately the on screen keyboard is superb) as the keys either stuck or multi-hit and there were also a couple of cracks in the chassis. It was repaired on insurance and they seemingly replaced everything (keyboard, screen, chassis, battery cover, the works).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
I was wondering if anyone else had issues with just downloading via 3G. I am in a metropolitan area but my internet access is slow. I just ran a test using the FCC Test app and these are the results:

Server 500 miles away

1. download - 238kbps; upload - 621kbps

2. download - -0kbps; upload 440kbps

3. download - 248kbps; upload 575kbps

Server 800 miles away

1. download - 132kbps; upload - 283kbps

2. download - 356kbps; upload - 526kbps

3. download - 267kbps; upload - 678kbps

Since I am uploading at what I would call a decent speed for 3G I was wondering if there is any setting or tweak that I can do to get better download speeds. I ran each test in the same spot and had 4 out of 6 bars on the signal strength. I am using the latest fresh rom 2.3.3 but i have noticed slow internet regardless of the rom I used. I thought it was just this area but then yesterday I saw my friend with an android phone(not a hero) and he was getting much faster speeds.
[Streak 5 General] sahirhussain:
hi all

i am a complete technology newbie. i would like to know if its possible to port the developer build/final build (i know its not available yet) of windows phone 7 on dell streak? i am sure streak meets all the hardware requirements. i just want to know if its possible at least in theory?

I have fallen in love with dell streak but i dont like android that much. i would be on top of the world if dell streak could run windows phone 7 as i believe it is the OS of the century!!
[Streak 5 General] flumps:
are you for real?

from what ive seen of wp7 it looks like a really boring OS. blank screen with text....yawn.

yes the streak is awesome, yes it does suck having 1.6 on it but once the updates or hackers start messing about its going to rule.
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
i do have to agree, why would you want to? the hardware isnt supported anyways. i want is htc sense. still android! but prettier.
[Streak 5 General] NorcoFox:
Not going to happen I'm afraid!
[Streak 5 General] Meltus:
People managed to get windows 98 running on the Nexus One (although it was pretty pointless; no wifi drivers, no double click, no right click, no click and drag, etc.)

I'd rather get XP running on the Dell than WM7 anyday :)
[Streak 5 General] vinokirk:
I would definately be up for WP7 on the Streak!
[Streak 5 General] sahirhussain:
thanx vinokirk!! i almost got blasted for asking that question.
[Streak 5 General] Stephen Flanagan:
I would be an interesting challenge, I too am intrigued by WP7.

Android is growing on me, but it feels half baked at times, too reliant on 3rd party apps for the best experience. Maybe 2.2 will sort allot of that.
[Streak 5 General] courtlandre:
Hopefully the streak will get WP7 through some hacking to get it working. WP7 may look boring to some, but I think it looks amazing. Also, since it supports XNA its going to have some amazing games on it.

As much as I like android, its just not very polished.
[Streak 5 General] NorcoFox:
Yeah I think it would be awesome if it did happen! But it's getting people that have the knowledge and time to put into it :eek: fingers crossed though!
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
wm7 will be out in October i have just read and there will be loads of devices that are running it so i don't see the point of putting it on this device, it was built for android, just buy a wm7 tablet i know of 4 manufacturer's that have said they will be building a wm7 tablet/phone :)
[Streak 5 General] courtlandre:
I doubt any will be a 5" device. Plus, its fun hacking phones and putting new OS's on.
[Streak 5 General] sahirhussain:
exactly!! i can put dell streak into my pocket but a 7 inch tablet or larger is not pocketable and all i hear is that wp7 tablets will all be 7 inch or more...no rumour or anything of that sort on a 5inch device running wp7..

moreover, i just love the design of dell streak and would love to have a polished OS running on it.
[Streak 5 General] dkwelton:
who would actually prefer this over android...it seems cool but it would probably get boring after 2 or three weeks
[Streak 5 General] flumps:
is this convosation still going on.

wp7 = countless plain screens with text, 1998 called they want their phone back
[Streak 5 General] Crapiola:
+1.

I love the current iteration of the 5" device in my pocket.

But I would love to have a 5" device in my pocket which can be WP7 or Android.
[Streak 5 General] Saad73:
WP7 on Dell Venue Pro, why not on Streak?

I would love to see dual boot Android/WP7 on the Dell Streak!
[Streak 5 General] HansTWN:
WP7? Another dumbed down iphonesque straight jacket OS, more Apple than even IOS? With no flash, no multitasking, and minimum possibilities for personalization? I personally really don't care for any operating system that assumes I am too dumb to use a phone and that I have to do everything just the way big Daddy wants me to or I will mess it up.
[Streak 5 General] scaronscar:
ya did you guys really want an os that can't be your own that's the beauty of android you can it make so personal..... I just think android has to get a little more polished up.... but for developers who want play and see if they can do more power and maybe a dual boot would be cool to show off lol;)
[Streak 5 General] rahulkadukar:
Well a dual boot would be awesome, if nothing then pure awesomeness by the developer :)
[Streak 5 General] shree.cse:
It's Awesome if Dell streak have a build like Desire HD with new HTC sense!
[Streak 5 General] Saad73:
Bump...since the dell venue is out any ideas on this?
[Streak 5 General] Joanas:
2.2 vs 7?

really can't see the point, if you got 2.2 and when 2.3 arrives!

More to the point, can you see Microsoft giving out free upgrades like Android!
[Streak 5 General] royalmail:
i like the idea as a streak onwer. don't u know that now Windows 7 phone can play xbox live game ....
[Streak 5 General] e1rokr:
i would love wp7 on the streak! And why are people bashing wp7 ? jumps off the android bandwagon wp7 has alot of work to do to be a full mobile os honestly look at how many versions android has to reach where it is so stop bashing a developing os, because as i remember android suhked in older versions and now is the closest thing to ios ever! android and ios are nice yes but wp7 is independent where neary everything on android and ios is 3rd party. Im not bashing but understand where wp7 lovers are coming from
[Streak 5 General] waatavr:
now suddenly this question looks relevent
[Streak 5 General] xonic211:
They say in able to use the WP7 OS. A device should have at least 3 buttons! :)

If yours have at least 3, I think it is possible.
[Streak 5 General] ameiurus:
Heck I would be happy with Windoze Mobile 6.5.X on the Streak...
