[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluebeast213:
I rooted my phone and kept the stock Eclair for about 2 weeks, till I had the time to check out the roms. I removed all of those AND GOOGLE TALK immediately after rooting. I never received the 1st error/problem from uninstalling Talk. If I remember correctly, there were 2 Talk items(service and storage...I think) that I removed. If you only removed 1, maybe that's where there errors were coming from.

I also removed it in a stock Froyo with no negative effects.

EDIT: Didn't remove the weather though. I left that on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bludragon742:
When I was on stock Eclair I removed both the service provider and the app which caused the Market and other system apps to stop working. How many times do I have to repeat myself? Look it up, it is a common issue!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluebeast213:
When I was on stock Eclair I removed both the service provider and the app which caused ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to stop working. The Market and other system apps WORKED PERFECTLY FINE. How many times do I have to repeat myself? I don't need to look it up, it was not an issue for me!......as it may not be for some others......

Whoooa there seems to be some blue-dispute going on in here! My money's on the dragon cause a dragon would take a beast any day. J/K guys...

Seriously though, OP you can remove all the ones you've listed safely except the last two weather and news/weather. I don't know how your phone would react because I've never removed those. You could make a custom rom yourself based off one of the stock roms and remove everything you think you want gone and then nandroid your current rom and flash the experimental and see what shakes loose. Just an idea.

Hi,

I have a locked Spanish xperia x2. Following the suse update procedure reported in the forum I managed to load the GENERIC_UK_R3AA035_CABS.rar. After alla the cab installation the langauage is finally English but X2 gives me “unknown sim error”. What I am missing? thank and regards

Does the sim card work in a different phone?

Can you get a replacement sim card?

I remember that I had some issues with my phone one morning and I happened to walk by an official T-Mobil store while in downtown Chicago. It turned out that a number of specific, older, sim cards did not work due to an update on the network. So the T-Mobil guy just copied my sim to a new one and i was on my way with a working sim/phone.

One small point to know: I had the sim card for about 8 years. It was still Voice Stream (now T-Mobil). So it was a really old sim.
[XPERIA X2 General] andrea11:
I have 2 new sim card working perfectly in my old X1. For none of them I have to insert pin code in X1.

In X2 I insert the pin code and then receive the error message. May this be due to the fact X2 was locked?

But shouldn't have been the loading I did of

GENERIC_UK_R3AA035_CABS.rar.

unlocking it?

what am I missing?
[XPERIA X2 General] andrea11:
to unlock my X2 is GENERIC_UK_R3AA035_CABS.rar enough or should I purchase on the net an unlocking code?

thanks
[XPERIA X2 General] yummy-fun:
no, you have done everything right so far. now just do the sues upgrade again and it'll boot the english rom (based on what cabs you downloaded on your phone) and your phone should be working fine. tell me how everything turns out. and good luck
[XPERIA X2 General] michaelthemage:
Flashing a different language/rom has NOTHING to do with the fact that your phone is SIM LOCKED. And it will stay sim locked until SIM is UNLOCKED. But not with flashing a language or rom or anything via SEUS.;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rstandi:
I am trying to upgrade my radio. Have been following a thread in the dev forum. Seems pretty straight forward. I downloaded the required files and then boot up with optical key and power. I have a white screen with bootloader. I select that with power and it sees the ruu, but gives an error message, wrong image. Am I doing this from the right screen? Some of the posts talk about being to the black screen with red triagle, but I have been unable to get there. When I select recovery, it takes me to the unrevoked version. Again, slightly new at this and don't want to brick my phone.

Should it be done through clockworkmod or from that stock screen? Any help would be appreciated.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedude_abides:
are you trying to get to the 2.x radio? if so, I followed the instructions here and had no problem at all:

hxxp://www.jonamerica.com/technology/howto-htc-droid-incredible-leaked-froyo-2-2-update/

just make sure you are un-rooted and at stock before applying the update.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeacela:
Is the radio the same as the base band? If I update my radio can I restore my backup of CM6? Or does CM6 not work on the incredible 2. X radio?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedude_abides:
the radio is the baseband version, yes. My understanding is some roms require the 2.x radio in order to have certain features work correctly, camera, video recording etc. The developer of the specific rom should have that documented.
[Captivate General] TheSopranos16:
I read that the gallery can show folders from your picasa web albums account. Anything special that I need to do to make this work? I have successfully uploaded pictures and it has all my login info stored. It just never shows me folders from my web albums.
[Captivate General] johnnyb138:
in your settings> accounts & sync > choose your google account > make sure sync picasa web albums is checked.

thats all i did and it works perfectly!

hope this helps.
[Captivate General] TheSopranos16:
I looked there but for some reason mine doesn't have Picasa on that list. It only has Contacts, Gmail and Callendar. I only signed up for Picasa about a week ago, which was after I set up the account on my phone. Maybe it doesn't think I have Picasa so it doesn't display the option to sync it for me? Any idea how I can refresh it?
[Captivate General] bjkoh:
Interesting.. i have the same issue on my other HD2 belonging to my wife.. what can we do?
[Captivate General] teflon252:
Ur not supposed to see Picasa in Accounts.....just make sure the Google or Gmail account associated with the Picasa u have pix in is your primary account u use to house your contacts or log in your Android phone...
[Captivate General] bp787:
I'm still having trouble with this. I have no option to sync with picasa. I see no settings anywhere on my phone or google account to enable this either.

Any ideas?
[Captivate General] polarbee:
Have you already set up the Picasa Web Albums part of it? You need to link Picasa to Web Albums first and then it should eventually show up in your account sync list.
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
Do like posted..Just did and linked on its own. U will see in ur Gmail sync setting picasa show up.
[Captivate General] bp787:
Picasa is linked to my Web Albums. I can download, upload, sync etc between Picasa 3 and Picasa web albums (not that google has done a great job with syncing those two things either, but it works).

I just downloaded another album and uploaded another file between picasa3 and picasa web albums. Guess I'll wait a day or two and see if anything changes...

Everything else I've been reading is pointing to me having to do a hard reset. This issue is something Google needs to figure out.
[Captivate General] mejori:
where do i set this up?? on phone or on google .. i cant seem to find it ?? please help
[Captivate General] arabcamel:
I think you need to do that on google from the picasa website and link it with your google account.
[Captivate General] sridhar618:
Here is how I have it on my cappy...

If your google account linked to phone is the same as the one you use for picasa web albums then go to settings->accounts an sync..under manage accounts you should see the google account you have linked the phone to. Click on the account. You should see an options to sync the Picasa Web Albums. If it is not already checked, well you know what to do.

If you have books linked to this account that should show up, so should calendar, contact and of course gmail.

So if you are like me...who creates mutiple picasa/google accounts to upload pics, then under account and sync click the add account button, follow the prompts and in the end just check the "Sync Picasa Web Albums" leaving everything else unchecked. That way, I have only my primary gmail emails in my inbox and all the pics from all my accounts in the gallery.:)
[Captivate General] bp787:
That's the problem... the sync to picasa selection is not there for everyone. The problem seems to happen when people get their phones all set up, THEN create a picasa account and THEN try to link it.

I have NO option to sync picasa on my phone. I can, however, upload pictures to it from a file browser, etc... Just won't "Sync".
[Captivate General] stefanlasiewski:
This isn't always the case.

In my case, the order is reversed. My Picasa account is several years old, and it is integrated with my Google account. I got my first Android (Samsung Intercept) last year. I have options to sync Docs, Contacts, Gmail and Calendar (and even Google Books if I install that app), but no option for syncing to Picasa web.

Interestingly, I acquired a LG Optimus V a couple weeks ago. There *is* an option to sync to Picasa, and it was turned on automatically. In addition, the Gallery app is completely different then the Gallery app on the Samsung Intercept.

I believe that most phones use an app called Gallery 3D, and that app is the only app which allows syncing with Picasa.

This forum has APKs to install Gallery 3D on your phone, and I did this months ago before uninstalling the app. However, none of the APKs work for me.
[Captivate General] artvandalay22222:
One thing to note, with google plus, you can set it up to automatically upload every pic you take to picasa
[Captivate General] stefanlasiewski:
Does the Google Plus app upload photos to plus.google.com, or picasaweb.google.com ? From my understanding, these are different applications.

[Captivate General] artvandalay22222:
I just looked at some pictures I uploaded over the summer that way. It looks like its picasaweb.google.com

Hey everyone, I found this over at Droidforums.net. Credit for the images go to UD and stewart1champ.

This is a dark-smoke themed Facebook 1.3 apk. Tested on CM6 nightly builds, but should work with all ROMs. Yes, Facebook sync DOES work.

You can install this by using the adb install Facebook.apk command. This apk is signed.

If you are coming from 1.2, then just install over the previous version. If you already have Facebook 1.3 installed, then uninstall it first.

Because you turned notifications off. Derp.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] letsgoflyers81:
You guys are right, Facebook acknowledged a battery drain bug and released 1.3.1 last night to fix it. I downgraded to 1.2 before the fix was released, and I was able to install 1.3.1 over that this morning from the Market without any tricks. I had been getting noticibly worse batter life since installing Froyo and I assumed it was the OS update itself. However upon hearing about the Facebook bug I realized that I installed that the same day I installed Froyo, so I'm hoping it was that all along. We'll see how my battery holds up today.

When I try to delete SMS threads that are even slightly large (around 50 texts) it lags really badly. If I try to delete threads over about 100 or 200 texts, the phone just stops responding. It'll occasionally ask if I want to force close Handcent, and if I do, Handcent just won't open again, it'll freeze and I'll have to pull the battery.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
I started a theme the other day, and I'm moving through the files pretty quickly but without context it's hard to know which graphic is which. So I want to flash or apply the current work I'm doing so I can see where things are and how they look.

Right now I'm working through a deodexed version of Froyo so all the files should be in order. Assuming that I strip out all files but the graphics, how do I create a update.zip for it or use any other method? I'm new to Android so any help would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chocmatic:
I'm guessing you already have the sdk installed?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Yup. SDK + Eclipse.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
Emulator? no?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
you can either figure out how to make them Metamorph compatible (sorry, can't give you advice on that, never done it)

Or you can put the images in the correct folder of whatever .apk they go in and make a flashable update.zip, basically replacing the existing .apk's with the full complete modded ones.

You'll need to put all the modded .apk's into a file structure that mimicks where they would be on the phone and zip that structure up with an update_script and sign the update.zip.

I would highly recommend you unzip some small flashable .zip and poke around in it to see the structure and look at the update_script.

This is a download link to a transparent tray mod I did. It replaces ONE .png but because I chose to make it a flashable .zip it requires replacing the framework-res.apk. Except for the actual .apk's you'll need to put in it, this .zip would be perfectly suitable to use as a base for your mods (and you're welcome to use it). If you did use it you would put your .apk's in the system/framework folder, delete the 3 cert files in the META folder, zip the system and META folders into "update.zip" and sign it using an autosign script.

fire away with any questions :D

ps, you don't need eclipse or the sdk for any of this but you will need an auto-sign script which is one of the tools in Avabox

AFAIK you couldnt use the emulator in the SDK to preview this stuff anyways because you can't get Sense running on the emulator, not to mention the emulator runs SOOOOO SLOOOOWWWWW. Even if you could get Sense running on the em I would bet you would spend less time making a nand, flashing your mods, checking them out and restoring your nand if you didn't like them than using an emulator to preview this stuff.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chocmatic:
Download the attached file and save folder in your tools directory. Then look at sign.txt to sign files
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Nothings attached.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Thanks a lot. Seeing the file, it makes sense. In your simple example you modded the framework res APK -- did you have to sign that single APK or was it taken care of when you signed the update.zip? I've modded some apps already and I know that with single APKs you have to sign them so it can be installable again. Don't know if that is needed once you sign the update.zip.

BTW, I can't wait to release this theme. It makes Sense look substantially better.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Actually signing the .apk's is not necessary. If all you're doing is swapping out images just open the .apk's archinve with 7zip (or similar program) and drop the new .png's into the correct folder (almost always res/drawable-hdpi)

Signing the .zip makes it flashable, the .apk is usable whether you sign it into a .zip or not. Actually when you're testing stuff out I find it's much quicker to just push the modified .apk to the phone via usb, I don't make a flashable .zip until it's ready for sharing :)

If you push a framework file to the phone ADB REBOOT immediately.

Also, don't be surprised if some of your wallpaper gets reset to stock and your google account gets wiped out after reboot, comes with the territory;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Oh okay, I think I'd prefer using ADB too. What command would I use to push the files?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
this:

adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\

then I make my changes to the .apk and:

adb push c:\framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Cool, just so it's clear, and I'm sorry to bug, but I'd have to pull (remove I guess)

the file before pushing the new one in?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
meh, you can use another compatable copy. I always just pull it first for 2 reasons: 1) I know its the one I'm using at the moment and 2) if you're gonna be using adb it's just convenient to have it right on c:\, less typing ;)

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:

[EVO 4G General] crunchyevo:
System Process Suspend. I noticed it runs at a constant 30% until i restart my phone. Anyone else having this problem or even know what event triggers this?

Flash is nice and all, but its not enough to compensate for all the crap froyo is dishing out.

so far my issues with this are wifi not connecting, any audio out ( mp3 or stream ) sounds like utter crap, and now this battery drain.
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
I am not having any of these issues at all, my wifi connects, my battery doesn't drain like crazy, and my Pandora sounds like I am in a concert hall!!

Were you rooted before the update? Have you tried factory reset?
[EVO 4G General] crunchyevo:
nope i was never rooted. i dunno, i search around the interwebs and it seems the things i am mentioning are common occurances to froyo.

however, none of these have an answer of why it happens in the first place, besides the streaming audio part.

its funny how for the past month or so that people have reported these problems to google, they do not even give it the customary "taking it seriously" line.

so has no one noticed their locally stored music sounds flat also?? this is the one part that intrigues me since that was how i first noticed the music quality suffered.
