Has anyone come across a compatable version of amon ra's recovery yet. Clockwork is godd but I like amon ra better?
[Vibrant General] clarkeismine:
From my understanding... Amon Ra is no longer being developed for any platform... but that statement is based off something a heard a month or so back... so take it as you will...
[Vibrant General] frankencat:
Never say never. The source code is out there and plenty of people like the Amon_Ra recovery including myself. Heck if I can up to speed I may take a crack at it myself although I still have a lot to learn before I feel confident enough to work on that one. I am sure there are folks who are willing and able to take it on. Just give it time.
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Ya I really wish AR recovery would come to are vibrants, only time will tell.
[Vibrant General] rizzxx7:
I feel that Amon's recovery was the best, I hope someone ports that to this phone
[Vibrant General] Lieu10ant:
don't they all do the same thing?
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:
I may put up a ubuntu VM for this. Im on a mac. So it makes it hard to use the rom kitchen and do things.

but, anyone on linux could port this. using the tools.
[Vibrant General] j0hnZ:
Love AR on my MT3G can't wait to get my Vibrant so would really love it if I could use the sameish recovery.

Have it on my g1. Quick, simple and convenient.
[Vibrant General] justanothergirl:
I have Amon Ra Carebear Recovery on my MT3G Fender

I think we should hold him at gun point.
[Vibrant General] Droidicus:
I'll be straight up honest here. I freaking BOUGHT clockwork mod recovery and it NEVER worked on my G1. So, yeah. Hate clockwork and very worried about having to use it as the sole recovery...

:(
[Vibrant General] yungballla6:
why the hell would you buy it? its free.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
This is my first Android phone, and CWM Recovery has been working flawlessly for me.

I should research what AR recovery is :)
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
Nice way of reviving a thread from 2+ months ago....

And clockwork can be bought for premium features + supporting the dev
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
I bought as well.

A bunch of the Android community has this idea in their heads that everything should be for free.

If I feel a dev deserves it for their app, I'll buy.

Back on topic tho... On my G1 I also always used AR recovery and loved it way more than the Clockwork I have to use now on my Vibrant. Tho I have to say that I've not experianced anything bad with it, I just was use to AR and loved it back in my G1 days

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sl1nk3:
I tried the new version on my X10, and it crashes as soon as i press play, here's what logcat says :

Quake_JNI : Library path not set, trying /data/data/org.kwaak3/lib

...

dalvik : Could not find method android.view.MotionEvent.getX, referenced from method org.kwaak3.KwaakView.onTouchEvent

Then other stuff about that and a Windeath...

Now that's strange because that method obviously is there, it might be something wrong with the API level you set, since the X10 is currently using Android 1.6 and doesn't have multitouch.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Anderdroid:
The reason it's crashing is because of the 1.6

I have read some good number of articles about using or not using a task killer on android phones, I am leaning at the moment to not having one (as i have not installed one and i have had my phone. For about a week or two now). I am extremely interested in hearing some opinions flrom my fellow xda members.

Thanks in advanced for some friendly debate over the issue :)

-Dave
[Captivate General] mwxiao:
There are already numerous threads about this. Do a quick research and you'll find lots of debates going on.

For example, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=744101

What's your point to start a new one?
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
You only need it in emergencies. At first I used it often and decided I was just paranoid and uninstalled it. Device then worked more smoothly then when I was using it. You may get a little nervous about it saying that it only has 70M left, but that's not really true. Most of the apps that you exit out of don't get used by the CPU anymore and just sit in memory (not doing anything). When you launch another app, that applications gets moved out of memory and the new one gets active.

If you install a lot of 3 star apps (crappy apps) and notice that your battery is going low fast or phone getting hot, then use it as it is an emergency. Just try not to make it a habit.
[Captivate General] unclejimbo88:
Do not use a task killer unless an app is frozen! It only slows down your phone and causes bugs. Your apps have to reopen every time you want to use it, which only slows things down. It's also possible for apps to lose data because they get stopped prematurely.

Besides, freeing up ram won't make your phone go faster. If the ram isn't being used, then it's doing nothing at all. A phone with 500MB free would be just as fast as a phone with 20MB free.
[Captivate General] alephnaut:
I used advanced task killer for a while but uninstalled it because i couldnt come up with a set of tasks that i would always want killed.

Plus the purist in me doesnt like the idea of automatically terminating a thread without some kind of collaboration between the threads involved. How does task killer know that any given thread is at a good stopping point?

It seems that background tasks were not nearly as big a drain on battr life as having gps on all the time. Once I installed the power widget on my home screen toggling gps took care of that.

Google voice. Fring. Skype.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Here's a solution I found:

1) Switch over EVERYTHING to Google Voice. Have people only call/text you via GV.

2) Install Fring

3) Get Sipgate One. SO has unlimited free inbound calling (and if you know GV, you know what that means...)

4) Setup your Google Voice to call both your cell number, and your Sipgate One number.

5) In Fring, add your Sipgate account as your SIP account. Set proxy as sipgate.com and get your SIP username and password from your Sipgate settings.

6) In Sipgate's settings, clear out all of the forwarding rules, so that no matter what, Google Voice will manage your voicemail.

7) Turn off your cell connection by activating Airplane Mode.

8) Turn on WiFi.

9) Start calls via a computer's browser, at voice.google.com.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xManMythLegend:
I really like these features and hate that no ROM has them all. ((That i see))

Glad the ROMs exist of course but its a pain to go from one ROM to another and lose something you like.

1. 270 screen rotation. I hate it. I want it turned off. Emonthers spare parts has this option. No other rom seems to. Not all rotate mind you..just the 270((i.e rotate right))

2. Enhanced contacts. Hide or not store frequently called ,advanced delete options on call log etc. Emonther and Cyn have this. Leofroyo does not.

3. Music track skip via volume. I distinctly remember this in pre-froyo ROMs.

Dont mind picking a ROM then adding these via zips/apks etc. But cant seem to find Froyo/Rom freindly versions.

I have installed netarchy kernel, but i have no idea why i did. Can anyone inform me on what a kernel does? I understand what a rom does, because i have been rooted on my previous phone as well (moment).

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanMuppet:
The Kernel is the backend of the operating system that tells it how to run. All OS's have Kernels, with the most notable being Linux as it's open source and you can compile your own.

Read the kernels thread for more information on what it does to your system. I like netarcy's due to Overclocking, undervoltage and the audio boost.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
another very basic explaination is that you have hardware (the evo itself) the OS/software (your rom) and then you have a kernal which tells the os how to talk to the hardware.

Ever since I updated to the vanilla rooted Froyo OTA (market issue fixed version) 2 days ago, everything has been working great. The only issue I have seen is that I don't get any notifications when there's an update available for an app that I have installed.

Does anyone else get this? Is there some setting somewhere that I need to enable to start getting these notifications? I thought this was default behavior?
[Vibrant General] wergeld:
I searched around several threads and saw a few people with the same issue but no fixes.

I rooted my phone using this and it worked great.

I then installed clockwork manager from here and then installed the clockwork recovery and made my nandroid.

So far so good.

I booted up and then checked the terminal emulator app i had installed and did:

$su

and got

#

So, all good.

I then went to remove some of the bloatware by using adb.

When I do adb shell I get the $ prompt.

I type in "su" without quotes and after a few seconds i get "Permission denied".

Seems like i fudged something somewhere but I am not sure what.

Anyone able to offer some constructive help?
[Vibrant General] Judgement5:
Make sure your phone is unlocked when you type su in adb shell, and a superuser permission should pop up.

i have been on a rooted G1 with CM for so long that i forgot to even look at my phone when i "adb shell...su" into it =)

did it just now and looked at the phone and the superuser permissions window came up. all set.

The one thing I do like on the X2 is it's ability to store a bunch of my CDs so I can play them.

I just wish the media player was a bit better:

- bigger pic of the CD cover would be nice

- more info about the CD (e.g. year released)

- better info on tracks (if the track is from a various artists CD let me see which artist the track is by)
