I NEED TO UPDATE MY AT&T AND IS NOT WORKING IT LOOK LIKE i need to flash the stock recovery image but i need some help to do that
[Streak 5 Android Development] borijess:
You don't use clockwork to flash stock recovery. You use fastboot. The same way u got clockwork on your phone.

Are you checking how to do this on the HTC Evo 4G or is it regarding Dell Streak?
[Streak 5 Android Development] dexter90:
hi, i have flash this recovery but thisn't work... when i press the volumey key start the stock recovery always!! i have flashed by fastboot...

i try to install by rom manager but isn't work

Sorry for my english
[Streak 5 Android Development] Formex:
Did you mean the first screen after you hold the volume buttons? The next step I think is to choose the 2nd option which "update pkg via SD Card" selecting that option (using the camera button) boots to Clockwork.
[Streak 5 Android Development] dexter90:
thk good job.... :D thk again

[Vibrant General] jaygajay:
So I decided to pit my Vibrant against my G1 in terms of network speed through tethering. To my amaze the vibrant not only boasts better netwrok speeds but some unbelievable numbers. What are your takes on the posted speeds below. I'm guessing there was some kind of error. I think my average however is about 6 Mbps, but these are just for speculation.

Test 1

Test 2

Test 3
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
I would say that those speeds exceed what the hardware - and the network - are capable of by an enormous degree?

Those look like WiFi speeds, my man.
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
Theoretically HSPA+ can reach 21mbps (correct me if I'm wrong)

This phone is not "+" enabled so those numbers look off to me.

Here in NYC the most I have seen was 5 up on 3g.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
You should download a file, from say Microsoft or a paid download provider like Hotfile (if you have a premium account)
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
Or you can download a file from a content delivery network like Cachefly:

http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test

This will pretty much show the max speed you can get at the current time.

Multiply the speed you get in your download manager by 8, and you'll have the speed in terms of kilobits (or megabits).
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
5 up or down? I highly doubt up, which is always slower then down.

I've read that 7 is possible.
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
Can't download that file from cachefly, content not supported according to browser.
[Vibrant General] gsvnet:
It might not work on the android browser. This is mainly useful if you're tethering, and have a real desktop browser to use
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
I am luckt if i get 1 MB...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Do NOT post a new thread without reading this first! Very important! Your post may vanish!

I've about had it! I move countless new posts each day to the General catagory!

I want to make one thing clear, if you are not developing or at least helping in the development of a rom, hack, script, driver or anything similar you probably should not post in development.

So since we aren't BP workers sitting around playing chess while listening to Mozart or watching Hamlet. And we're sure as hell not teachers trying to show children how to do constructions (although I can use it as a metaphore) I'm going to go out on a limb and say that #2 applies.

So unless you can create "a significant consequence or event" other than your own device then you should not post in development.

Do you have a [Q] Question?

Maybe, just maybe it might belong in the general Q&A section.

That would be this:

myTouch 3G, Magic General

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

So here's the deal... for the next two weeks until further notice I am going to be very strict.

If I see a post that should not be in the development section, I will remove it completely. I won't move it, I won't warn anybody. It'll just be gone. :eek:

A few days ago I had to go and move 14 (that's fourteen) posts all at once. That's a little out of hand. These were obvious Q&A like:

What rom is the best?

What is _________ app from ________ picture?

How do I setup swap?

What is compcache?

How do I setup adb?

Why is my recovery not working?

How do I flash a new recovery?

Help me flash a new radio?

etc, etc, etc.

(These were only examples since I don't want to single anyone out.)

These are NOT development related.

Now if you made a script or an app of some kind that made these questions easier for the user then it would be development. Get it? Good! Because I'm not repeating it!

Final warning to all members!

And this goes hand in hand with this warning here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=545005

Also... if you break this rule... you can find your post in two places in the trash.

First place will be in the trash.

Second place will be in this locked thread as an example of what NOT to post in the Development section.

You have been warned!

Even after posting that... they still continue.

Here's an example of one that disappeared!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:

Guess what happened to this one too?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Example #3

And this one too!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Outstanding!

I'm shocked awed and amazed!

Twenty-four hours and no one posted an improper thread.

I'm so proud of you all. Keep up the good work! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:

Well that didn't last... although the OP did recognize his mistake and posted a duplicate thread in General. I guess he knew it was going to disappear.

Example #5

And another one bit the dust...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:

This one was special:

I guess somehow he received an issue of T-Mobile magazine that was about two years old.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:

Guess what happened to this post?

You guessed it!

Trash!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:

You just have to laugh...

Why won't his phone boot?

Hmmmm... maybe because it has to do with erase system -w.

Oh well... look for it in the trash.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:

He was lucky that he managed to get an answer before I got there.

It's in the trash now too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Four Days Later...

So four days ago I said that for the next two weeks I was going to be very strict by moving these threads to the trash instead of moving them or helping the OP.

Four days later so far at least NINE people still have not complied. One of them did it twice and next time will be banned for it!

Do you see how serious I am?

And if you hadn't noticed... I'm making examples of these posts... so unless you want to see your post up here... do NOT do it!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Example #10 (I actually lost count for a moment)

Thread moved per request of OP... just not to where (s)he wanted it to go.

Moved to trash.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Example #11

He was warned by a member in the post and he continued to post questions. Some just don't learn.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Example #12

This was the OP's first post too.

Way to start it off.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:

Lucky number 13.

Is this an example of a proper DEVELOPMENT post?

Or maybe a Q&A post? Hmmmm... tough call. :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Almost a week later

So almost a week later and I'm still finding myself performing my magic by making posts disappear! This is so far on the average of about two a day. So these poor souls either don't read or don't care. Either way... they won't have many posts if they don't change their habits.

Believe it or not, this has dropped dramatically! I was moving about ten or so each day so you all should feel good about yourselves. Still... some of you are still keeping me on my toes. And that's fine... because you know where to find your posts. Don't you?

Hint:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Example #14

Technically, I should say that this is Example #13 continued because it's the same exact member that did it again. Some people just don't get it. But they will when they check their e-mail and find that they were banned for posting in the wrong section.

I sent him/her an e-mail this time telling him/her that it's his/her final warning. So I guess we'll see.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Example #15

And another one moved to the trash...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Example #16

His first post too... now that's some way to welcome a new member huh. Oh well. Sorry... but he should have read this post. I wonder what part of "Do not post a new thread" is confusing for some people. It's gotta be the NOT.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Example #17 and #18

I found two today from the same person!!

I guess that I'll be sending him a warning by PM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Example #19

Moved to trash too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Example #20

These just don't stop!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Example #21

I can do this all day.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Example #22

Yet another disappointment.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Ten days later

So this is the tenth day that I started making posts disappear and I have received about half a dozen e-mails from users complaining. And that's fine. I have no problems with that. But before anyone else complains know this. The majority of the community knows where to post their threads. It's only the smallest fraction that fails and it's often because they are either posting using the XDA app, can't use common sense to determine if their posts are development related or not.

Here... this should help:

So since we aren't BP workers sitting around playing chess while listening to Mozart or watching Hamlet. And we're sure as hell not teachers trying to show children how to do constructions (although I can use it as a metaphore) I'm going to go out on a limb and say that #2 applies.

So unless you can create "a significant consequence or event" other than your own device then you should not post in development.

Also, I'm still getting an average of two posts a day. That is actually a drop and for that I'm content. I don't mind a goof up now and then but two a day is still a bit much. Just imagine if I let two a day go for a whole week. Would you enjoy seeing the Development thread filled with over a dozen posts that don't belong and that doesn't apply to you? Remember that it will all be on the front page and possibly even on page 2. That's not cool!

So that is why I've decided to extend the ten days to whatever day that drops significantly. In other words as soon as the average is 1 a day (hell we can go 6 days in a row with none and some noob can come in on day seven and create 8 posts and ruin it for all of you) I will loosen the standard.

If you read some of the examples that I have posted you would tell that some of them are no where near related to development and if I could lock them out completely just from the development section... I would. Unfortunately the only way for me to do that is to ban them for a day. Fortunately it hasn't come down to that though.

For all of you that have been posting in the correct section, thank you very much! It is very appreciated and keep up the good work.

Someone's Feelings A Little Hurt

I got a tweet from a User, he basically blames me and the other mods for these posts being posted in the wrong thread in the first place.

His example

My answer to that... TRY POSTING IN THE THREAD THAT THE DEVELOPER MADE!!!

Plus, most developers have issue trackers. If you had at least two brain cells firing you would realize that if you have an issue... maybe look in the issue tracker for a resolution. If you don't see anything... hmmm... post one there. I've actually had good results getting my advice recognized that way. In fact... if you haven't been following... it was ME that triggered the Fender/1.2 devices to be compatible with most of your roms today. How did I do that? First I started a bounty. It got over $400 and still no one could make it work. So I posted it in an issue tracker and guess what? In less than a month we had a patch. I promise you it works. Do you think that a developer such as Cyanogen reads these tiny little posts from noobs complaining why they don't have Flash on their phones or whatever? Of course not! He reviews from his website (that is www.cyanogenmod.com) or from his issue tracker. He doesn't have the time or resources to go through the half dozen CM threads and read literally HUNDREDS of posts from members complaining because they failed to either read or search in the first place. So these members do what? They start a new thread? Really? Yeah because that helps! Let's just move those hundreds of posts to a new thread so you have to read through all 200+ pages just to find something relevant.

Look, bottom line. I am trying to keep this organized. Which means a place for everything and everything in it's place. If you fail in knowing where to put something then it'll be better to put it General and having it moved to Development, than the other way around. Simple as that. I expect to see 98% of new posts in General and so far it's not even been close. Then this kid wants to take offense to that.

For example... if you have an issue with CM6... why post a new thread asking a question about CM6? It would be smarter to ask the question in the CM6 thread then make a new one.

This goes for anyone else reading that somehow got their feelings hurt because your thread was moved or removed. You were warned. You violated the rules. If you would rather have these 30+ threads back in development cluttering it up with junk then it would be easier for me! But it sure wouldn't be easier for you, would it?

Let me make this clear. I am a moderator with responsibilities. Part of those are to make sure the rules are followed and this forum doesn't fall into chaos by their members. I can just as easily move all of these posts back into Development and let you, the members, sort through them all. Or you can appreciate the work that I've been doing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Example #35

Yet another example,
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Examples #36 - #40

Alright guys, this is 24 hours hours worth of posts that were sitting on the first two pages of the Development thread. Come on. Just to clarify... Development is not reserved for you to inquire what roms to flash and how to flash it. Think of it this way... Development is reserved for those that actually DEVELOP. Please try to understand. I'm not trying to flame, troll or bash anyone like someone accused me of (drama!) like I mentioned in an earlier post. That is why I have been removing the names. I respect the users, regardless of their status (Senior Members, Junior, etc). In fact... some of these are actually Senior Members as well! And I'm more compelled to do something only BECAUSE of the fact that they have been in the forums long enough to know better. But mistakes happen and I understand that. But these are actual posts that have been made that were improperly posted and I'm doing this so that you can see the difference of what to post versus what not to post. These are examples of what not to post. Now I was feeling REALLY nice tonight and decided to move these to General where they belong but next time I will move the to the Trash!

If you have a link to something that can be downloaded or instructions on how to do something then it is more likely to be in the Development thread. See the difference?

TIP! If your post has a [Q] in it then it is an automatic red flag because there is a Q&A section. This is NOT it.

And in case you are wondering why I keep this thread locked is not so that I cannot receive feedback. It's so that there won't be any arguing, flaming, bashing, trolling, etc. If you have questions or concerns I invite you to send me a PM and I will be happy to discuss it with you. You don't need to start complaining to the admins or starting a website bashing XDA because this is MY decision and not the administrators or other moderators of XDA-Developers. :)

Examples 41, 42

Someone did in fact answer this question but said that it was in the Hero thread and the OP became upset because he couldn't find it and wanted the link provided. It was later confessed that he was using the XDA app. Which made me look... many of these are being made from that app. Hmmmm.

Last Post For This Thread

So I've decided that I'm not going to post anymore examples of posts that I had to move. I'm not going to say why because it really isn't relevant. If you really want to know a reason you can send me a pm and I'll be happy to explain some of it to you.

So here it is... any posts found in Development that is not related to Development in ANY way will be removed. Period. If you have a question or comment about it you can send me a PM and I'll respond as soon as I can.

Good luck and happy posting!

No. Helping would be saying "You do this "insert explanation". Just posting that is trolling. He might as well have posted "oil platform, platypus, beetle" it tells me nothing, and I have no idea what it is and searching for it is no help at all. As always if people don't want to help that's fine but they should shut up then.

That thread is about making a theme, I don't want to make a theme. I want to sign an apk (actually I want to change an ICON but someone says you have to sign the apk whatever that means).

(Also note first line: "you will need a working knowledge of android, adb,how to resign apk's" - I don't have that, I don't have that, I don't know how to do that!)
