Hi all,

I just had to do a hard reset (device was sloooooowwww!!) and now I am looking for a cab I used ages ago to make the clock, calandar and shortcuts backgrounds 50% opaque. I am also looking for the glass clock Cab too! I did use the search but have spent the last hour looking through threads tyting to find it! There is just too much stuff on this site!!

Thanks a bunch guys!!

Look at Touch X cabs. Very useful. He's got cabs that accomplish what you want and more.

Hi -

I'm new to all of this ... reading FAR more than posting and trying to learn enough to ask intelligent questions.

I've found the existing guides very helpful, but there's one that I haven't found [yet] ... if it already exists, please accept my apology in advance for missing it ... if it doesn't exist, I think it would be a great addition to this forum: a glossary of 'cooking' & related terms and abbreviations.

Thanks again for all of the info,

-dmm
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Here are a couple sites to check out:

Xdasite: this has a lot of basic rom cooking info; it's old, but has definitions if you look around.

PPCKitchen: Look up RStoyguy's tutorials; again, they're a little dated, but are very good and explain all of the basics.
[Windows Mobile] Sharpenologist:
Thank you!

I'll start with these ... additional info always welcome ...

You could also have a quick read around the xda wiki, specifically in the Acronyms: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Acronyms, Glossary: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Glossary, and FAQ section: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ.

I'm not sure how useful you'll find it, but there is some good info there. :)
[Windows Mobile] Sharpenologist:
Thanks!

More good material ...

I have a samsung captivate and i am unable to connect to a wifi network which requires browser based authentication (like in hotels,airports etc.), where u have to acccept their term and conditions and then u get directed to a authentication page to get internet connection. Is there a solution for that ? Thank you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] snark_be:
What is exactly the problem? Do you have an error message? Are you correctly connected to the Access Point? ...

Please give more details.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] punjabiest:
i am able to connect to the access point,but it just does't go to the authentication page.Therefore, doesnt connect to the internet.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nickmcnamara:
I downgraded my mytouch 3g to 1.5 firmware to root it and i thought that i could enable the adb on the my touch with the onscreen keyboard you can bring it up by pressing menu on the setup screen but no luck at all so im stuck here on the setup screen and i dont have a data plan so what can i do i just did my g1 thru adb shell and i activated with wifi but its not working on the mytouch 3g so please help me out please..........and no i dont have a friend with a sim.............no i dont want to pay for a 1 day use of data for tmobile plus they suspended the account for now and i cant do that anyways........but the weird thing is when i start command prompt and goto the tools folder i can type in fastboot devices and the mytouch shows up but when i try to flash like fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img it starts but it shows this (Hopefully the image loaded lol) but yeah i explained in the pic of what im talking about as well i dont kno what that means and how im supposed to fix it........so hopefully u can help me out is there anyway to enable adb on the mytouch thru fastboot so it can enable it so i can use adb shell and it would actually show up when i type in adb devices because i kno its working because fastboot works???? all the help you can give is aprreciated....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nickmcnamara:
Seriously 23 views and not one piece of info????????????? are you serious......I NEED HELP...........
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kamp:
That means you are using perfected SPL. Just because fastboot devices returns the serial, it doesn't mean you can flash images using adb.

You will need to have engineering SPL to be able to flash images (recovery, radio, etc) through ADB.

No one probably replied because if you had searched for fastboot Remote: Not Allowed in google, you would have found the answer already.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
If you needed help so bad you should have posted it in the correct thread.

Moved to General.

Guess what DEVELOPMENT means? :rolleyes: Seriously, take a look in the thread at most of the other posts. I take a look and I see "SPL Collection", "Radio Switcher", "Sapphire Hacking", "Rom Bible", and then "HELP! Gmail Setup NO DATA"

One of these things are not like the others.

I'm moving it to the appropriate thread but next time I'll close it without warning.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nickmcnamara:
Ok thank you Binary......... i thought since i was ROOTING my phone which i belive hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?????????yeah im right...................DEVELOPING my MyTouch that id post it in there not in General where it has nothing to do with anything i was asking about so lets make a Questions Thread so u wont have to search everywhere for people posting in wrong places and it would make more sense in that than a GENERAL Thread where poepl e just talk about random stuff...........
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nickmcnamara:
thanks i didnt think about that i just thought it was being a douche like always..........
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Your not DEVELOPING anything by rooting your myTouch, your merely modifying something that already exists within the phone.

When it comes to anything dealing with technology, developing something means that you are either creating something completely new, or you are taking a process/application/media medium that already exists and improving it. In lame man's terms, your either creating an all new application/ROM/way of rooting (in our case) or you are taking a currently created ROM and improving on it in order for it to run properly on different devices (such as porting a ROM created to run on the Droid X so that it will work on the myTouch 3G). This could also include creating new kernal's for devices to be able to be properly overclocked, be compatible with newer ROM versions, etc.

But, I do understand where you come from. Sometimes it is just human nature for a person to become defensive in the presence of ignorance. A word of advice though, being disrespectful towards a forum admin is not the way to go about getting help.

Would also like to add that if you look under the General Discussion header you'll see that it says "Discussion about the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, HTC Magic (general Q&A, tips & tricks)".
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nickmcnamara:
and i would like to apologize for that to u binary......I was just upset about somethings and im the type of person that has the money to do whatever with and i could easily go and pay someone to do all this but i dont......ive been doing this for years i started with psps to xbox 360s then went to a HTC XV6700 then to a HTC Dream/G1 then im stuck on this MyTouch 3G and when i have trouble and people Bash me just because i need help i get defensive because i kno what im doin and when i run into a problem everybody acts like im stupid and im a "noob" or something but idk y people do it because everybody is a "noob" at one point in life.......maybe somebody should put all their energy that they do when they bash somebody into helping them out......how you would like it when u (the basher) had a problem and everybody including the mod admin or creator of the forum or site or whatever made fun of u????????? thats my point but i apologize for bein like that....so maybe we all can get past this and help each other.......
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
I wasn't necessarily bashing you, nor was Binary. I'm a mod myself for a gaming clan that I'm a part of and I just understand where Binary is coming from. Think about the fact that you have thousands of people trolling these forums and when 70% of them don't post things in the proper place or post a question that was answered two threads from the top, it gets very redundant having to "help" them out by pointing them in the right direction all the time. If people would merely take that extra second to search or read an extra sentence it would make everything so much easier. Yes, Binarys response may have sounded slightly sarcastic, but when I've seen the guy have to move 20-30 threads and tell people to search for their problem because the answer was in a thread two days old, then I can't blame him. People really need to try and look at both sides of a situation before flaming. Its understandable that your frustrated, but again, flaming at anyone on these, or any other, forums is not the way to generate positive responses.

Now, as for you problem, how exactly did you go about downgrading to 1.5? Do you have the MT3G with the 3.5mm jack? You not going to be able to run anything through ADB until you can actually get into the phone and enable USB debugging (unless you can get into recovery), in the meantime, your going to have to run everything through fastboot. Next, that recovery image your using is kind of old, you might want to try Amon Ra 1.7.0. Along with your answers, post your current fastboot information (turn the phone off and power on by holding back+power). When the screen with three skateboarding Androids comes up, write that information into here.

That's why it says:

myTouch 3G, Magic General

Discussion about the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, HTC Magic (general Q&A, tips & tricks)

No I understand completely. I agree with you 100%. I was a noob for years in fact. Believe it or not even I still have issues. I just posted one in the G1 Q&A a few days ago and it still hasn't had any responses so I know how you feel. Yet I also know what it takes to get flammed and how to avoid it. No one here is flamming or bashing you and I apologize if it seemed that way but sometimes you need to make light of a heavy situation if you get my meaning. You're thread will likely get hundreds of views... and not just from members. And I move around an average of 20 to 50 posts per day! So yeah... I move more posts than you even read! So while you're trying to imagine that just think about how many I would have to move, edit, delete and close if I didn't come off strict towards everyone. I'm not a jerk like I come off to be... I'm actually very lenient but I can't ban someone today for breaking a rule today and give someone a second chance tomorrow for breaking the same rule. In the same way I can't just move a thread without an explaination either because it causes confusion. So how am I supposed to appear strict, enforce and be fair all at once? Ask your parents! LOL! :p Just think of me as this forums father. I'll ground you for breaking a rule or I'll help you fix your bike if I can. See my meaning? By the way... forum wise... I'm a single father (only moderator) of three children named Wing (the Oldest and most mature... little maintenance, Tilt... middle child, and my youngest Sapphire. Sapphire is a handful because she is growing so fast and she (as in the members) doesn't quite knows what she's doing yet. :rolleyes:

Sorry but that's the best metaphor that I can come up with for now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nickmcnamara:
lol yeah i got u now man lol and i guess i solved my problem as well we have a flexpay and we didnt pay the bill so they suspended the account but they said we can still put flexpay minutes on it and use it that way well we are goin to ge a card today and hopefully that brins the service back so we can use the data if so i wont have anymore problems because once i get thru this gmail activation and i can put the recovery on the phone there is no need for the data really just wifi because i can use CyanogenMod-6 on there and i can either skip or touch the four corners on the startup screen and im in lol but yeah i guess this is it for now so ill let u guys kno how it went
[General Topics] DangerPanda:
Hi,

I have done some searching but couldn't come across with a firm answer, So can you guys help me out?

I'm currently with Rogers, if I purchased an unlocked phone from someone or ebay.

Will the frequencies work?

So can I put a Rogers sim card into an unlocked AT&T or T mobile phone and have it fully functioning?

Before posting this thread, my assumption was that AT&T is fully compatible with Rogers (voice, 3G) , but on the other hand Rogers 3G doesn't work on T mobile phones?

Your answer is very appreciated!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ty07allstar:
Getting ready to root my phone and i'm wondering which ROM to use? Been looking at evil Eris but I feel that there are too many things that don't work. Also been looking at ivan's but its not really updated often. What would you guys recommend?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truelove79:
If you want THE fastest Sense ROM, xtrSense3.1 is the one you want. Just be sure to turn on JIT. I have tried all the Sense ROMs and this one scores the highest in quadrant and is easily the fastest interface experience. Just be sure to wipe, install the ROM, do a full boot and setup, then go back and flash the other zip files you want.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dEris:
Is there lag when dialing out like every other Sense 2.1 ROMS? This lag in the dialer is just a killer for me. I'd rather use a Froyo ROM with no camera than have lag in my dialer even though I use my camera A LOT.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BH3:
I've used xtrSense3.1 and have had zero issues with dial lag. as stated. it's the fastest of the Sense ROM's. Evil Eris 3.0 and even 4.0 are good, but for me, xtrSense is the definite keeper for me.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truelove79:
There will always be dialer lag with any Sense ROM. But with xtrSense, it's as minimal as you're gonna get. It's really not very noticeable, nearly non-existant. Just remember to overclock to at least 710 Mhz and turn on JIT.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rycheme:
I fully recommend cyanogen tazz. Blazing fast for me, good battery life, and absolutely no dialer lag.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Cyanogen tazz is beastly fast for me.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morrisdan:
I have been using Conaps ROMS ErisLightningBolt 2.8 CM5.08 and he's been doing a great job keeping them stripped down and stable. So for now until they have the camera working in the Froyo ROMS go with ErisLightningBolt 2.8 CM5.08 build from Conap. It's just a matter of time until they get the Froyo ROMS dialed in.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Oh and fyi this isn't the place to ask this question. Try general next time. And in fact I believe there is already a topic about the "best" ROMs so try searching as well next time.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I've been using Plain Jane T2 for weeks and have no complaints. I haven't tried xtrsense but am tempted to try it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Really it comes down to what you need.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericFuels999:
Cyanogen Tazz. The battery life is insane compared to 2.1 roms.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dEris:
Thanks for the replies guys. Seriously, the dialer lag will keep me from installing any ROM. I really want my camera back =P Don't get me wrong, 2.2 is awesome. I'll flash over to this ROM here in the next few days. If there is this "dialer lag", you guys are going to get it!!! :p

Another question; may or may not be possible to answer: Why is there dial lag on Sense 2.1 ROMS on the Eris????
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kosuda14:
I'm gonna have to say xtrSENSE or Evil Eris, however i think xtr is probably faster...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truelove79:
xtrSense is Plain Jane v2 on steroids. That is what I was running until I discovered xtrSense. My wife is still on Plain Jane v2, I haven't had time to move her to xtrSense.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SebMKd:
xtrSense

Been using xtrSense 4.0.6 for a week (Radio 2.42.01.04.27; kernel 2.6.29-8 ; software number 2.37.605.4). Fast (CPU @ 710MHz / sleep @ 245 MHz). Pretty stable. Got it to reboot randomly once or twice.

Biggest hurdle is battery life. Can't get to figure out why my battery doesn't last a day on this ROM or others... (different topic though).

Very tempted to flash CELB Froyo 2.2MB.
[Vibrant General] farrisizdaman:
If You try to partition with Rom manager it partitions the internal sd and you will brick your phone. Your screen will be black with only the capacative buttons glowing. This brick is possibly the more annoying ones where you have to flash your phone twice. If you have this problem don't panic like i did.

*REMOVING EXTERNAL SD CARD MIGHT IMPROVE ODIN CHANCES OF WORKING*(Thanks Hoey2011 for mentioning this)

Step 1: Download all files from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475

PUt them in a safe spot you will need them for later.

Step 2: Download files from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740558

Step 3: HAVE ODIN OPENED FIRST!!(This helped it detect my phone for some reason)Get phone into download mode. The easiest way to do this is pull out battery from phone. Then plug phone into usb connected to computer it will have the battery sign. Hold volume keys and power button when the screen goes black let go of power button. You will be in download mode if Odin doesn't detect it unplug usb and replug it.

Step 4: Once Odin has recognized your phone set the pit file and .tar file FROM EUGENE'S 2.2 THREAD. NOT THE FIRST LINK THE SECOND LINK. Then click start. And follow all the directions on his thread.

Step 5: Once you have flashed that rom you put your phone in download mode again and set up the pit and .tar file for Stock 2.1. After you finish flashing it your phone should be saved!

Thanks to Eugene373, justanothercrowd and anomalous3(for being patient and helping me out when I had this problem) And to anyone else that helped me solve this problem.

I was in the same boat as you and as I was downloading 2.2 to try I found your thread. Works like a charm! Thanks for the info on this. I guess I shouldn't read threads backwards from now on, huh? :P
[Vibrant General] hoey2011:
ok so I've been following this method, and got eugene's 2.2 loaded up correctly, and rebooted back into download mode. The 2.2 files loaded just fine through odin, but now that I'm flashing 2.1, it seems hung on the cache.rfs.

I am gonna go smoke a blunt or two and come back and see how it's progressed, but this hang is the same issue I had before, on my windows 7 64bit machine. I figured it was a compatibility problem so I'm using my old busted vista machine. I've gotten further on the vista laptop than the W7 one, but I'm still hung.

How long should the 2nd loadup take??

I am almost at my wits end with this stupid mistake I made and hope is such a far stretch :(
[Vibrant General] hoey2011:
ok, so i continued my use of the search tool here at xda and found my answer :D

I had my MicroSD card in my phone, hadn't even thought to remove it. I have moved past the cache.rfs file and am now waiting to see the results....

IT WORKED OMG OMG OMG

Xda forums almost ruined my phone, then brought it back from the dead

god i love equlibrium :)
[Vibrant General] zDisturbed1:
Good info thanks for posting it, but one thing I would like to point out and I am not alone in feeling this way people are throwing the.word brick around and far to casually. You did not brick your phone by partitioning it the proof is that you fixed your phone. Bricking a phone is wheb youbrender the phone usless as a brick when it is totally broken and unfixable. I dont mean to nitpick i just hate seeing everyone that makes a mistake in anything crying wolf and claiming to have bricked. But my rant aside thanks for the very usefull info you mightvwanna pass it on to koush so he can fix it.
[Vibrant General] stepinmyworld:
I did exactly this and I was so frustrated that I sent my phone back to tmobile and just purchased a new one. I don't know about yall but if there are two storage points (internal and external) there should be an option for both in default recovery because when I tried to partition the external sd card *in which i was able to execute on my nexus one* it was very easy but because I use clockwork recovery and did a rom backup, i guess the backup zip wasn't safe because I received the same results as you. There should be 2 options to choose from that says *internal storage, External SD Card* why make things difficult? lol

The manufacturers need to be a little more intuitive.

*this is my opinion*
[Vibrant General] farrisizdaman:
Thanks for the clarification. I actually had no idea a brick was unfixable. I thought a brick was when your phone messed up and you'd reflash to get it working. Lol sorry again
[Vibrant General] Koush:
Ah crap, that's right, /sdcard is mapped to the *internal* sd card on the phone, and that's what is partitioned. I'll disable partitioning on the phone (external SD card is not accessible in recovery).
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
I haven't tried partitioning, but the card's /dev/block/mmcblk1p* entries are there and I can mount them. That's how the dc2ext hack works. It mounts /sd-ext and /data to do the copies and it does it in recovery.
[Vibrant General] brandnewsimmy:
I have had serious issues with Odin hanging on my WIn 7 32bit system. However, I think I was actually doing it wrong. I was booting my phone to download mode then plugging it in to my computer. However, I have had continued success (tried a bunch last night) by doing this:

Open Odin, take out the battery, plug in USB cord to phone and computer, hold vol up+down, put in battery. Whenever I booted into Download Mode this way, Odin worked perfect every time. Turns out after cursing my computer it was user error, whoops :p.
[Vibrant General] hoey2011:
turns out, the system wasn't the finicky piece of equipment, it was the phone and the odin software. I inadvertently left the sd card in the phone, the external one, and that was causing my hangs. Two more tries after pulling the sd card, I had success and was back to my phone again :)
[Vibrant General] farrisizdaman:
I forgot to mention to do that. I did that with mine as well. Taking out the sd card increases success. Thanks for mentioning it.
