[Vibrant General] Jon C:
There are no good stock backup programs for non-rooted people?

I was kind of hoping that your Google account would keep track of what apps you've downloaded (sort of like your iTunes account does with the iPhone).

As I'm new to the Android scene, I may as well ask: what happens then, when you buy an app and wipe your phone? Where is that purchasing info stored?
[Vibrant General] bahnburner:
Use Koush's fakeFlash recovery, create a nandroid backup and then make a copy of both the internal and external drives. Copy the internal and external drives to the new phone, re-root, re-install fakeFlash, and restore from your nandroid backup. It'll be like it never happened.
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
There aren't really any good non-root backup apps that I'm aware of, search the market though, there might be something.

It does keep track of purchased apps, they link to your gmail account and will be available on the new phone. They will automatically show up in the downloads list. They didn't auto-install for me, I had to tell the phone to install them. 2.2 (Froyo) also stores free apps you have installed and will auto-install them for you. We don't have that version of the OS yet.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NeoMatrixJR:
Running latest MightyRom and AGAIN it's become unusable. It seems if the signal drops too low sometimes WM stops working properly with the radio. The phone locks up and after restart it takes FOREVER for WM to show the radio is on and it keeps running really slow. So far I've had to hard reset this problem twice and once the phone has recovered somehow. Has anyone else had this happen?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] buru898:
Lol wow that sounds pretty bad. You should try a new ROM and before you flash it, the the task29 (or close to that name) then flash the ROM you downloaded.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mboguc:
TASK29 its a must.. How do you backup your stuff ? PIM Backup ? MS My Phone? Else?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] drewcam888:
did you upgrade to the latest verizon radio
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NeoMatrixJR:
On Sprint, running latest sprint radio
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NeoMatrixJR:
I used Task29 before flashing MightyROM. SPB backup.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NeoMatrixJR:
Did it again today. Switched to android for now until I have time to find a new ROM to try. Any suggestions?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] indagroove:
There are lots of good roms out there, what do you look for in a rom?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] eric12341:
try a 6.1 rom the one I'm on is build 21057, its very stable and reliable. its called the sprint basics rom.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NeoMatrixJR:
I've run a couple of the energy roms. the 6.5.3 stuff (start and menus @ bottom w/ thin bar @ top) seem too buggy and the graphics/fonts are all messed up. Switched to the "glassy" 6.5.1 rom w/ cookie home tab and it's been glitchy and now it won't charge from USB while the phone's on. As horrible as it is I think I'm going back to the stock rom to see if the phone has issues on that. If it does I may get it replaced. Or stick it out till october (for new SERO) and switch to android. I just don't like sprint's non-4G android options right now and I hate to change a $350 phone for a <$100 phone.

What I want in a ROM?

"Just works"

WiFi router/teathering

anything else I can probably add myself.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] WrEcK3:
i had the same problem on my tp2 from sprint with mightyrom. i switched to Mr.X rom and have not had the problem.

its very fast and very stable, has wifi router/teathering, and gives you plenty of space to install apps and what not.
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
Anyone else seen this?

http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa..._ID=307505&PROD_SUB_ID=0&PROD_ID=558&EMAIL_ID
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
Yep. The US variants of the Galaxy S do Micro USB to HDMI out. Unfortunately, there are no cables available (yet) in order to have that kind of functionality. Samsung is planning to release that one.
[Captivate General] RDI:
we sell a USB to DVI /VGA ADAPTER for about $79. http://www.encore-usa.com/us/sites/default/files/product_file_datasheet/ENMUV-2_Spec_EN_1.pdf
[Captivate General] accinfo:
wow that's really cheap?!
[Captivate General] Bjd223:
The Samsung one is $49 bucks (US) I think. Just wait I'm sure there will be a Chinese knock-off soon enough for pennys on the dollar.
[Captivate General] jbradt:
So assuming this weren't back-ordered, it would work on the captivate to say... watch movies?
[Captivate General] Bjd223:
Someone has to try it and see how it works. The Composite on the Captivate (headphone jack) is mirroring of the entire device UI.

But some other devices that use HDMI only allow certain apps to output to it, like the built in Samsung movie player. I think this is for copyright reasons. I am not sure what copy protections are built in but HDCP would be needed to play back licenenced Hi-Def videos like Blueray format.

Your own videos / downloaded ones / ripped correctly bluerays, etc. should all play in Hi-Def okay. There are still unanswered questions, but it seems like this cable will allow movies to be played back w/o issue.

I am getting one as soon as a 3rd party one hits the streets as it will probably be cheaper.
[Hero CDMA General] beard6:
Hi, I rooted and installed Darchdroid rom. For some reason when I try and set up my gmail account, it says, "unable to open connection to server." Why is it saying that? My stock rom was able to set up accounts. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] Triptic:
Make sure you have flashed Google apps. It's in the DD post.
[Hero CDMA General] Sktr021:
I had to contact sprint and tell them that I had to do a hard reset, and they reset things on their end, and BAM. worked.

Even though my internet connection worked, I could NOT get into my gmail...
[Droid Incredible General] Kipphh:
Alright so I am trying to install the new leaked version of froyo 2.2 I need to upgrade my radio to 2.x I have followed all instructions and when i boot into recovery i just get a bunch of green warnings one of which is imagine not found or something like that it moves to fast to read. Any suggestions someone? I have tried to post this in that forum but its way to busy and it just gets lost with no response.
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
Did you root the leaked Mota before trying to apply the zip?
[Droid Incredible General] Kipphh:
No Im new to the android arena so im just following what they say. What i have now is incredible that was rooted with unrevoked 3.1. Im not even sure what Mota is
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
Neither do I. Typo. The stock keyboard sux. So you are rooted? That should clear up problems. If not, then it wont work.
[Droid Incredible General] Kipphh:
LOL no I didnt even get the leaked OTA im still running stock 2.1 no rom
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
Unroot, apply ota , reroot, apply froyo.

Ps. Apparently Mota is the autocorrect for ota on my phone.
[Droid Incredible General] vbhines:
You're probably having the same issue I did at first...plug your phone in to your PC, mount your sdcard, save anything off of it that you need, and reformat it as FAT32...the phone formats it as straight FAT. Reload PB31IMG.zip onto the root of your card and try again.

Have fun.
[Droid Incredible General] Kipphh:
I just switched to a different msd card and it work now im stuck on getting the radio flashing after I unrooted i swear this phone has it out for me

EDIT!

All is working perfect now I am now running Froyo 2.2
[Nexus One General] toawkanavngthded:
ive looked everywhere and seems like thats the only spot to buy one... but they are pretty expensive... any ideas?
[Nexus One General] solidkevin:
Keep checking everyday, I just bought mine for $490 total and its the ATT version which is more expensive.
[Nexus One General] nexus5894:
It's on iWireless as well for $300 subsidised, $650 unlocked. I think that's the only way to get it now. Google will be adding a few third-party suppliers soon, so stay tuned.
[Nexus One General] toawkanavngthded:
as an n1 owner.... are you extremely happy with it?
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
The Nexus One is a DREAM phone, its great and you wont regret it. However, personally, if i was in your position, I would not buy the Nexus One. Not because the phone is bad, far from it. But because the phone is being outclassed by newer phones like the Galaxy S or the newer Droids. I would advise looking at those, before going to the Nexus One, you can get them cheaper, and they have newer tech. However, if you have your mind set on the nexus one then you wont regret it. Just my 2 cents.
[Nexus One General] adambenjamin:
<yourcity>.craigslist.org

Thats where I got mine. They go for about $400-$480. But lower every so often.
[Nexus One General] HTCinToronto:
You're on XDA, making it a fair possibility that you'd want more than just stock on an N1. In that situation I'd still put the N1 over the Galaxy or Droid, though yes, they're here too.
[Nexus One General] toawkanavngthded:
i tried and hardly any are on sale in fresno :rolleyes:. i miss living down south lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItsDon:
I'm currently running ZenEXP and K-9 Mail because it does push and Zenulator hasn't got push running yet on the stock client. K-9 is cool, I like it and it is fast but I have two issues:

1) I get notified every time a new email comes in and this bugs me. The stock Gmail push client will notify me once when a new email comes in and then quietly collect any new emails until I check them, then it starts over. This is great as it let's me sleep without hearing the "new mail" notification all night long. Has anyone who uses K-9 figured out how to make it work like the stock client and only notify once until I check?

2) Is there an "unread Mail" widget anywhere I can put on my main screen? I used to use one called "Gmail Unread Count" from the market but I can't find one for K-9

Thanks folks....

Since the android stock messaging app kinda sucks and handcet is slow ass hell i decided to try this app, and i really like it, i know its a total ripoff from the iphone messaging app tough :rolleyes: ,i modified the colors used for the text bubbles but can the "send button" be tweaked too? it screaaams iphone x.x
[Android Apps and Games] Θmega:
I'd try modifying the following files in the APK. They're in the drawable folders. You can use an app like 7-zip to modify them and resave the APK file:

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turague:
As the title says... would it work on telus?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenestor:
I know that Verizon will allow us to roam in Canada, so the phone technically works there. I don't know whether it's possible to use it on a different carrier though.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sjflowerhorn:
it is possible to use on different carriers but not guarenteeing yours will work, altell and i think 2 others are working but never heard of your provider before.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatcheZ:
No, different freq, won't work on telus.

besides, it's a cdma phone...

i think us roaming would be on rogers 2g tho
[Android Apps and Games] chrisgto4:
ok with all the new custom boot animations blah blah blah... I think its time a dev made an apk that will use chosen pictures off your sdcard for boot animation.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] herbthehammer:
I'm gonna scream! This is the third time I've tried typing this how to out.... Don't ask...

Anyways, I will tell you what to do to change the colors on the first one. Then after that, I will give the section, each entry and it's color, then wrap it up. I'm not going to write a book like I did before.

Let's go!

At home screen, menu/cyanogenmod settings/user interface. Render effect = no render effect. Status bar section. I didn't want battery percentage, so I unchecked it. Clock color. Move outside of color wheel to white. Tap the dot in the center of the color wheel to confirm that's the color you want. I wanted show dbm. Set that color to white.

Back key once. Date and provider. In plmn carrier string, the two check boxes should be checked. Carrier plmn label color = black. Make sure to tap the dot in the center of the color wheel when you change a color or your new choice won't stick. Settings for spn carrier string. Both check boxes checked. Carrier spn label color is black.

Back key once. Notifications colors. Notifications ticker color = white. Notifications count color is white. No notification title color is white. Clear notifications label color is black. Ongoing notifications title color is white. Latest notifications title color is white.

Scroll down some. Items title color is black. Items text color is black. Items time color is black. Check custom notifications bar check box. Bar color is black.

Now keep hitting back key until you are back to the home screen. Reboot the phone. When phone comes back up, everything "should" be correct color now. Let me know if it worked. It took me some trial and error, and a lot of reboots, before I think all the colors look as they should for the notification bar.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] herbthehammer:
I don't know how to change the slide down notifications drawer to white on black. If I did, that would be like the icing on the cake... Sorry.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bcispcpro:
I the background the hard way...replaced the "statusbar_background.9.png" in framework-res with my own. and as far as the background of the notifications LIST, I believe youll have to change the "status_bar_background.png" within the framework-res as well... At least thats what I did.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigupurself7:
Can someone in simple terms tell me how to fix my 4g? My MAC adress is fine, I am on Fresh ROM and I used simpleroot to root my phone, I did not use unrevoked. Any help would be great. After searching every forum on this, nobody has come up with a fix that ACTUALLY works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kperry1911:
Q&A, but anyway....

What exactly is broken? Does it not connect at all? are you having issues requiring manual reconnection after loosing a connection.... what radios are you running? etc...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kperry1911:
Take a look at the post below yours (at the moment) in this forum: How to start over: Fully rooted stock 1.47.651.1 in one shot (no adb!) aka Whitslack's method... will get your software up to date on the latest 1.47 (rooted) and current radio's. This has worked for many having issues getting connected.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHC33:
Use the search button and find confirmed fix for 4g it has to do with updating your 4g and radio then deleting a .xm.tree file off your phone.. I had the same problem as you and that worked like a charm.

I have a problem that I had prior to rooting though. When I connect to 4g I cannot use any data like web browsing. Has anyone wlse had an issue like this? Sorry to highjack the thread I just dont feel it would be necessary to start a whole new thread for this question.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigupurself7:
Before root, 4g worked fine, then after rooting it just searches. When upgrading to the newest Fresh Rom, it specifically said to update the wimax, but after that 4g stopped working. Like I said before, i've used search and every single thread is long and everyone is complaining and nothing works it seems.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEGAMEPLAY94:
Yes, I have this problem too...i can connect to 4g fine, but I can't transfer any data.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3xn2o:
turn off 4g. delete the file found under data/misc/wimax (mac adress).tree.xml. when you restart 4g that file re-generates. this should fix it.

NOTE: you'll need Root manager to access these files... :cool:

worst case scenario -- you have to go back to step one and load the pc36img all over again because that will reflash all radios correctly.

Still a DC fan but I got enough love in me for all my ladies.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veritas06:
It's really a matter of preference. I was running Fresh at 0.5.3, then wanted to try something different so i hopped over to DamageControl. As soon as CyanogenMod was released though i've been running his nightly builds & i love them. Best bet is to take a look through all of them & see what it offers that you might want.

Best ROMs

CM6 hands down. Have not flashed anything else after going Stock froyo. You can really tell Sense does slow down the OS. CM6 is only getting better.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techrocket9:
◄▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

I use the Cyanogen 6 RC and have no reservations. Yes, you have to do these fixes immediately after installing and you lose 4G, HDMI output, and the FM radio, but you gain tremendously in the areas of responsiveness and battery life. If you can tolerate the trade-offs, I recommend it wholeheartedly. I've never used EVio, though. (Oh, what a rhyme show!)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
I appreciate it guys, are the fixes a big pain in the butt to flash?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techrocket9:
The market fix takes a bit of time, but is a one shot deal and is only about half an hour.

I don't use Facebook so I skipped the other one. However, I can't imagine it being worse than the Market fix.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veritas06:
Wasn't the Market fix just a matter of removing the old apk, clearing the data, & loading the new one? If i remember it was only a few cmd's through adb ( very simple to do ).

Also, there's a post on the General board saying the FaceBook sync is fixed without using the "hacked" version.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigRick10:
I didn't remove the apk. All I did was clear data and force stop. Flashed over the fixed market zip

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmen:
Are you sure the speedup is related to no-Sense, or is it just FroYo being faster than Eclair? I remember reading somewhere (Engadget?) that Sense slows it down very little, if at all. And FroYo, of course, focused on 5 things, one of them being SPEED.

I'm just not sure that 2.2 w/ Sense would be that much slower than 2.2 w/o Sense. I guess I could try Ava's thing, but I'd rather just wait for DC 3.5...
