[Desire Android Development] Blinkydamo:
Hi guys,

Rooted my phone a while back using the method on the first post for hboot 0.83 amoled screen. I now need to place it back to stock to return to three. How do I do this, do I just run the signed or unsigned ruu from shipped roms for h3g??

I don't have a goldcard as it was not needed to root, any help would be great.

Cheers

Blinkydamo.
[Desire Android Development] Blinkydamo:
Found an old post I made with some details about the original rom,

Radio 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09

Hboot 0.83.0001

Rom Stock 2.1 Update 1

I cant find this rom to flash back to stock, can only find the two H3G roms on the sticky.

Anyone got any ideas on this, need some help fast please.

Cheers

Blinky

[Desire Android Development] Dionysis:
Hi there,

Im trying to root my gf´s desire. She has the SLCD version.

I followed all the steps:

1. Run the reflash_package.exe you downloaded and extract the files to a suitable location.

2. Follow the instructions in the .html file to install the HBOOT driver.

3. If you have it, uninstall HTC Sync (leave HTC Driver Installer)

4. Reboot your PC.

5. With Desire go to Settings > Connect to PC > Default connection type > Disk drive then Untick ‘Ask Me’

6. Then go to Settings > Applications > Development > Make sure USB Debugging is ticked.

7. Go back to Applications and make sure Unknown Sources is ticked.

8. Start the reflash.exe in Admin mode (Right Click > Run as Admin (Only required for Windows Vista + 7)

9. Go to File > Custom Recovery and select the ClockworkMod v2.5.0.1 SLCD recovery image.

10. Connect your Desire.

11. Wait (it should take about 1-2 minutes)

12. Then, your Desire should be in recovery mode! Hit reboot.

but it just wont do the final step. It just says: Failed to flash recovery image.

HBOOT is currently: 0.93.0001

Radio: - 5.09.05.30_2

what to do?

[Droid Eris Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
I've been playing with the ThemePorter app and loving it. But while I have the new rom open and swapping the .pngs from the old theme to the new rom I thought I could change the fonts too. I picked a font I liked (.tft format), deleted the old fonts and installed the new ones with all the same names as the old ones (Clockopia, DroidSans, etc etc) but once I zip the rom back together and sign it, it won't load. ADB logcat gives me issues like media_flinger died, and the other media stuff in that library has died warnings too. This makes the boot screen hang and the rom won't load despite complete install. Obviously there are other ways to change the font, so that's not a big deal. I'm just trying to understand how this stuff is connected. I did double check and this can be the only problem. I just unzipped the rom, replaced the original font folder, signed, and rebooted just fine. Any ideas?
[Desire General] Cheesy Wotsit:
I have one of the new Vodafone UK Desires with the SLCD and HBOOT 0.03.0001 with all the unwanted Vodafdone apps.

As a few others have discovered the hard way flashing a new ROM is not an option.

As far as I can figure so far the phone can be rooted using unrevoked but the custom recovery isn't visible - possibly lack of compatability with the new screen - so there's no way of flashing a new ROM.

The apps can't be uninstalled from within the phone and I was wondering if it was possible to do this using adb.

I can see the installed apps using 'adb shell pm list packages'.

Would it be possible to remove these using adb uninstall?

I'm probably way off here but just a thought.
[Desire General] pergolesi:
As the title says, I have noticed a slightly choppy feel to video performance since upgrading to 2.2! Video performance in 2.1 was absolutely perfect. I would be curious to know if anyone else has experienced this?

This combined with the jerky browser scrolling and various other niggles, has prompted me to downgrade to 2.1, and it really is much smoother.

I really liked some of the new features in 2.2, but it just feels like it has been poorly implemented.

Don't do the early one there were issues to get the phone back to an official version. Weird that you can't get the update... have you checked your software version that's currently on the phone? Maybe you already have the update.

Well, first you need to get updated to software version 1.47. I'm not sure where you would get the OTA update for it. The easiest way to do it, which actually won't really require any other updating, is to download the latest RUU for 2.2. You need a windows computer and HTC Sync set up for all the drivers.

Just use this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=746705

This method will wipe your phone, so backup your data.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
Does anyone else think its weird that Sprint/HTC would offer the 1.47 update "for a limited time only"? So you can't update from 1.32 to 3.26 and anyone who opted out of the 1.47 from 1.32 no longer has the 1.47 update available to them?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
I don't think they thought about it in those terms. Why would they limit users from being able to upgrade? Unless they really want their store employees to be spending floor time doing the upgrade for you when you can't do it yourself down the line.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adeyo:
i am at 1.32 and when i hit check for updates i still get prompted to download the 1.47 (no froyo yet, but if i update, i am sure froyo will come sooner or later)....i heard froyo needs 1.47 in place first.

**BTW, does anyone know where the 1.47 update is stored on the phone??? i just downloaded it and removed my memory card, but still get prompted to install...i want to find it and try to take it apart??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
I think it's on /sdcard/download.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adeyo:
yeah, i thought that too...and there was an update.zip in the root of my sd card, but it was only 832kb...with my sd card removed, it still allowed me to click on the "Install system software update"...i even powered down and rebooted my phone w/o sd card to see if it went away. when i click "install now" it begins...(i pull the battery)

**EDIT: sorry, not trying to take over a thread...starting a new one in questions/answers ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
That update.zip is in place from when you rooted your phone. I'm guessing you used Simple Root, or else you'd remember putting it there yourself.

I was hoping someone could answer a simple questions. I am looking at purchasing the HD mini.

I live in canada on the rogers network and I need a phone that does 3g the specs say

HTC HD Mini T5555 Windows Smartphone

Networks:

- GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (Worldwide)

- HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz (Europe/Asia)

Rogers 3g I believe is 850/1900

I just want to make sure I am not stuck on edge and not able to get 3g.

Any help would be appreciated.

[EVO 4G General] edisepic:
I know there is probably gonna be alot of heat about using Task killers or not but this is just to suggest to the people who are interested in using a task killer/manager but don't know of a good one for there EVO.

ive tried other task killers and they all created FCs and resets. task manager by adao team is the only task killer that ''I'' found that works great with no FCs or resets. task manager is awesome it lets u auto kill tasks with a set time interval after your screen is off instead of instantly. it also lets you kill system services. it really does help my EVO and i can suggest it. also it was recently updated to work with 2.2. try it out and let me know what u think. make sure to ignore things that are important to you such as mail messages etc

like i mentioned before this is JUST A SUGGESTION

try it out and give your thoughts about how you like it

please do not leave your thoughts about how u think Android O.S doesnt need a killer/manager

i didnt know they allowed ads.

[EVO 4G General] admorris:
So funny to listen to people regurgitate what they have heard regarding task killers. The OP made it absolutely clear that it was only a suggestion and it has helped him out and he wanted others to try and NOT respond about why they are bad. I have run both my Droid and Evo with and without a task killer and notice a substantial difference in smoothness when they are running. I just switched over the Auto Killer and have enjoyed even better performance. To each their own.

How does one get Music and Voice Mail to stay killed?
[EVO 4G General] edisepic:
thank u.... someone who actually can read correctly
[EVO 4G General] davebu:
if you want better performance then overclock your cpu, yes some poorly made apps need to be killed, but you dont need an extra app for it, android can do it natively. why even use those poorly made apps.
[EVO 4G General] admorris:
blah blah blah blah...I'm guessing you are one who hasn't used one, but jumped on the "I've heard it from everyone else, so it must be true" bandwagon. I am not a noob and I can tell you for a 100% fact that there is a noticeable difference when and when not using auto killer. Programs open quicker with no stutter, screens switch quicker/smoother with no stutter, scrolling through app drawer is 100% smooth with no stutter. All of this cannot be said when relying on Android to manage application memory.
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
Well, it depends on how you are using Auto Killer. If you are only using it to tweak memory management settings, there's no danger. You just give the system more aggressive values for its built in task manager. This is definitely the best way to tweak task management. If you are using it to kill individual apps, then that could be a problem. I used to use task killers, and then when I heard about the problems, I decided to test it and see if the claims are true. This was back on my hero, so we are talking the slightest difference is very noticeable. When I did a factory reset and didn't install a task killer, I realized that the system was running smoother and didn't get random force closes (a big problem in 1.5 and early versions of Android). This performance actually got better over time as Android became more efficient at knowing which apps to kill and which to save.

Basically, if you let Android handle things, you'll get optimal performance, as that's how Android was made to work. If you use task managers, you may notice a difference, but eventually they start causing issues in the system and the actual performance is degraded slowly. People who have switched away and tried a fresh install without task killers have noticed a difference in battery life and overall performance. Tweaking auto killer's settings to a more aggressive setting is ok, as long as you don't go overboard, as that changes values that Android uses in low memory situations.

Also, I am not a noob. I might not be a dev yet, but I've been using Android since 1.0 on the G1 and do know quite a bit about how Android works. That and I read all the Android development blogs and hang around here a lot. So I have a good mixture of experience and knowledge. Please, if you think I am wrong, tell me how so, but from my experience and from the Android team's own statements, I'm pretty close to right.
[EVO 4G General] tonyh703:
To kill or not to kill

to use a task killer you have to really know what you are doing to not affect the performance device (if you knew then you wouldn't have one but I'm just sayin...). I have used one since the day the hero came out, and I just recently stopped using a task killer and the performance of my phone has drastically increased. This is an FYI to people who read this post, not an argument to the OP.

Make sure you nand backup before attempting to try to remove it. I always removed it on most roms with no problems but since flashing kaosfroyo, I'm reluctant since I did it on my wife's moto droid with froyo you are not supposed to remove it. Not sure if it's a froyo thing. You can remove it via adb or if you have root explorer app, you can go into /system/app and delete Mms.apk (make sure your system is mounted as read-write)

So i have to decide, do I want a decent integrated Facebook / Twitter widget, or do I want a decent launcher?

Does anybody have an answer to this? I myself like pretty much all the futures in TW - would mainly like to change the 4 icons on the bottom and maybe even have the ability to hide the notification bar.

Is there a way to incorporate TW samsung widgets into launcher pro for example?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddmatt:
I suppose Samsung's widgets are tied to the Touchwiz Launcher and incompatible with other launchers :(

It's a pity because I really like the Accuweather Clock over the other available widgets. But LauncherPro is so much better than the Samsung Launcher, I can't go without a launcher that lets me hide apps from the app drawer due to the massive amount of crap it gets flooded with.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jutezak:
You can change the left 3 icons on the bottom (but not the Applications one).

Just go to the Applications screen and press Menu and choose Edit. Then, move the icons off and put another in place.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Will.1:
I'm pretty sure it's impossible. I wanted to do that but was told by different ppl it was impossible. Same goes for Launcher Pro widgets in Touchwizz (i prefere the LP ones vs the Samsung). They are tied to the launcher u use.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tehpriest:
You could put Home Switcher on each of the home screens of TW and LP then just switch between them just like moving to a different page. Just an idea.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duce HD2:
Thanks fro the ideas, sounds like it's a no-go for right now at least.....

One more thing, does launcher pro juice the battery as same as TW? And when I used launcher pro in the past, I really liked to use the option "hide notification bar", i think it gives it a cleaner look, but at the same time it won't notify me when i receive an email ( other than the sound), I did search this in the past with no luck, so is there a widget, icon, something that I can install that will show on the screen when I received email, when using LP?

Common issue.

1)Pull the battery, disconnect the cable.

2)Put back the battery.. Phone should appear to be off still

3) Hold down the home and volume down button. Once those are held down, also hold down the power

4) The phone should be download mode.

5)Odin, plug in USB cable after opening odin, repartition and format (no debug), rezap the firmware, and have a feeling of relief sweep by as though you survived death.

Remember, some newer firmwares need the 512pit, NOT 513pit. But that is basically an error screen which is telling you I assume that the Boot records are messed up/inaccessible.
