@asus- sounds like you activated your phone/sim's pin lock. Once you hit a certain number of wrong answers it locks the phone and pin completely. You'll need a PUK number i think from your service provider, or if you've done it too many times a whole new sim card maybe. Never happened to me but heard of it. google pin or puk lock.

@bbsk and anyone else with boot issues- try wiping first with amonra if you have boot issues. You might loss info but the phone will boot. Also be generous when waiting for reboots after new installs, can take a long time. Usually it's not the rom for those types of errors...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Vivasanti:
Hey guillow, yea tried alot of stuff, went and did the wipes one at a time with rebooting still no joy, then did all them and restart, still no good, tired with SD card out, nothing.

Also tried restoring a Nand backup which didnt work.

Not sure what the cause is, pretty happy with TCT anyways :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AsusFreak:
Input PIN code (3)

Thanks for responding, guillow.

I did the following.

Inserted the SIM-card, wrong PIN-input twice, got the notifier: "Input PIN-code (3)", inserted the SIM-card in an old Nokia phone, successful input of the PIN (so no locking of the SIM card), inserted in the VF845 again, successful input of PIN.

And now it was my expaction that the phone will reset the input counter but the notifier always says "Input PIN code (3)" and I entered the PIN code successfully in several times.

In the German forum some users describe the sporadically prompt "Input PIN code (3)" but in my special case it seems to be a self-made problem because of changing the SIM card while doing the PIN-entering...

Thanks for trying to help.

I assume I have to reinstall the ROM to reset this counter...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] trenbeth:
When the phone loses access (for the SIM card) to the mobile network, you need to re-unlock it by providing the SIM PIN. You can disable the request for the PIN somewhere in the settings.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] guillow:
@asus - as trenbeth says, maybe it's a setting you've turned on in android. check settings-> location and security -> set up sim card lock

see if that's enabled and if so disable it.

Just bought my vf845, how do I backup firmware.

Hi

Im dying to try this rom, but I would like if someone could explain how I can backup the phones original Firmware and nand, I'm from Ireland and think the firmware posted on 1st page is not for me.

Any way I would rather be safe by making an exact backup first.

Thanks guys

Looking forward to trying this rom

Whatsapp not working - no c2dm Service

The pushservice of the messenger "Whatsapp" is not working properly. I read that Whatsapp uses the googleservice c2dm. This service is only available for Android 2.2!

@Freddyemmer:

1.) Is there a fix to install c2dm?

2.) Is it expected to update to Android 2.2?

It it possible, that the sdcard won't be automounted after starting the phone? It runs out of empty space now and im wondering why. Then i tried to start "a2sd restart" and it told me, that it's not mounted to /system/sd

why?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DarthXX:
I installed the ROM ok, working fine for few minutes until I synced my google account to log onto the market. Says my LauncherPro version is expired and wants me to install the new one. Only problem is it keeps opening the browser page, and I can't actually get back to the homescreen to install the newer version.

Any help?

Is there a way to change a keyboard in this ROM. It's ok in landscape mode, but i would like it to be in portrait mode as phone keypad. It would be better on vodafone 845, because of a small screen size.. Maybe i just dont know how to make it change while rotating from portrait to landscape and back..

edit: i've figured out it already, which keyboard is best for V845? Recommendation from users are welcome :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DarthXX:
Thanks, had to jump through a lot of hoops to DL the Astro App to install apk files but I got it working now.

barnacle

Hi There,

I am unable to get barnacle wifi tether to work. i have turned off "wpa_supplicant" checkbox from the option, however it gives me a error.

Is there something else that I need to do?

Cheers

Pritish
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DarthXX:
I had some problems getting this going too.

First, does Barnacle have SuperUser permissions? If not you have to allow it or it won't work.

If you installed the Barnacle App before you put the Custom ROM on ur phone, it won't work either, you will have to uninstall it and get it again from the market.

If neither of these work I'm not too sure. I will give you the configuration I have on my phone in the settings, see if yours match up.

SSID: Default

BSSID: None

Wireless Encryption: Enabled (ASCII)

Channel: 6

Custom Wifi Ad-Hoc: None

Skip wpa_supplicant: Box is ticked

Auto Associate: Disabled

The rest I don't think are really relevant to ur situation.

If you still can't get it to work you can try using Wireless Tether, another WiFi tethering app and see if that also has problems.

Hope this helps in some way

Application stops while phone is idle :-(

Hi guys

I have a problem and I cant find a solution elsewhere on the web so I was hoping you could help me. I installed this custom ROM on my phone and I want to use endomondo sports tracking on it. The problem is after about 39-40 seconds the application stops to track my progress (while the phone is "idle" in other words the screen is off). A friend has exactly the same phone but without the custom ROM and he does not experience these issues with this program, that is why I think the problem (and solution) might be here. Any ideas?

Helpful information: I'm running version 2.01 with the launcher pro fix.

Hope you can help! Otherwise instructions on how to get back to the default setup would be nice. I tried flashing with the update_signed.zip but when the phone boots I get an error saying: The application customapkshidden has stopped unexpectedly (force close is the only option), which causes the phone to reboot :-(

Thanks in advance!

Edit1: if it helps it throws the error "the process com.endomondo.android has stopped unexpectedly" but I can see its still running in the background...

Edit2: Seems like JIT has been causing the issues. I flashed with the nojit.zip and its been tracking well without issues.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ahlidap:

I got trouble to tether my phone with Barnacle.

I checked off "skip wpa_supplicant",however when I did so, and it gave me a error message and then it prompted me to check "skip wpa_supplicant"

If I check it on, the wifi tether does not show on SGS.

When you check this option this off, do I need to do something else?

HardKey Wakeup

Hi All,

Have just flashed 2.0.1 and everything is working perfectly except for one small issue. I have scoured through the forum here and it seems like I am not the only one and it looks as though there is reference to a fix somewhere but I can't find it so forgive me if I am repeating something but I hope someone can help.

Since the new ROM i have to use the power button to wake my phone up which is really annoying, used to be able to wake it up using the hardware keys along the bottom of the screen. Does anyone know a fix for this? Thanks in advance :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] harvy666:
hi, just tried to install the latest mr edition rom but on startup it always tries to download the launcherprom how do i fix it? i guess i just got to install it but its an apk file and i dont know how to do that(btw there is nothing on the phone except that ever trying browser so i couldnot even install it)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DarthXX:
I thought was a nice feature instead of a drawback, now my phone never accidently unlocks itself in my pocket.

I had the same problem. You can either use the Android Developer Kit or use an App like Astro File Manager. Just google "how to install apk files" for a full explanation.

Also, for me there was a small window, of about 10-15 minutes before launcher pro decided to be annoying. What I ended up doing was reinstalling the ROM, and going to the market, quickly DLing Astro File Manager and installing the LauncherPro .apk file from my SD card, before it decided it had expired.

Hope this helps.

ps. How do we install the different themes? (green, red etc)

Sorry....newbie questions

Hi guys.

I have tried to absorb the info in the 130+ pages of data but I am still not sure of the a couple of things and excuse me if they have been already covered.

1. What is the version of Android this ROM uses? is it 2.2 (Froyo)?

2. What is the over-all benefit of upgrading the ROM apart from speeding up the phone? at the moment I cant download one specific thing off the Market place for my Godaddy account...other people can see it and godaddy THINK it might be related to my ROM version or something.

3. If I screw it up, I see there are links to the vodafone images so I assume I can just re-apply them etc.

Sorry if these are basic questions....I promise I did read through nearly all the messages first :-) I dont want to fry my phone and go back t my crappy Nokia E65 :-)

Thanks,Jeremy
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] H3pha3stus:
Hi Jeremy,

1. The version is still 2.1, from what I read there is work on 2.2 but it is not stable yet

2. The Market Fix the Freddy Provides opens up most apps in the market. It fakes autofocus amongst other things

3. Yes you can go back to re-flash the original image, you shouldn't have trouble though, the instructions are fairly clear and the process very easy.

Cheers

i use last ROM version (2.0.1), but i have problem with some apps:

youlu address book - when i start this app, it want select address book (mobile/google account) and when i select some, app crashed.

appbrain.com/app/youlu-address-book/com.youlu

Endomondo - popup window: The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly.

Quick boot - same problem: popup window: The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly.

appbrain.com/app/quick-boot-%28reboot%29/com.siriusapplications.quickboot

why are these problems? Is any solution?

and second question is:

after flash, i have approx. 150 MB free space, after installation apps with size 69MB i have only 80 MB free space. I have ext 3 partition then i think, this isnt normal.

Thaks for ansver, how i solve this problems. If is solution.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] drazha:
Silly question, but how do I apply the LauncherPro fix?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] charlie2806:
drazha: flash in recovery
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] drazha:
I am afraid you will have to provide more details then that.

At any rate, i found an earlier post: save the apk to sdcard, and then type from the browser: file:///sdcard/LauncherProblablabla.apk

Renaming it to something like lpro.apk makes your life easier when you need to type it in the browser :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] drazha:
OK, new questions:

When I pres the Home/Return button, it does not take me to the Home Screen/Desktop/Default Desktop.

When the mobile is in standby mode, pressing RED does not make it pop out the slider screen. This worked with stock ROM.

I tried both LauncherPro, and AWB. I also did configure the behavior for these buttons, but no success.

Any hints?

To flash in recovery put it on the SDcard as a zip, then start the phone while holding 'Volume Up' and Start Call' Keys, then select flash from SDcard.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] H3pha3stus:
Also as far as the home/return button is concerned, IF you press menu when on your home screen, then select preferences then select behavior settings, In there is a menu to alter the home key action :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] drazha:
Cheers, this sorted the thing out. Although now EVERY button wakes it up :) I guess its better then nothing. I looked inside the package, found the files, I'd love to get a link to the post which explains more on the topic, I could perhaps fine tune it to my exact desires.

I did actually modify the home button behaviour, several times, but this still does not work. Pressing Home/Return will not put me back to the Home/Default Screen while I am at any other screen.
