SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED

The wiki says to go to settings->about, but I don't know what I'm looking for. The only 1.x entry I see is 'release', which is 1.5 is obviously the Android version, NOT the SPL version. Aside from that, I just see my Kernel version. I'm trying to figure it out so I can find the proper method for rooting my Dream. I need GPS with voice, but Google Maps with Navigation is 1.6 and up, I'm running 1.5, and I'd really like to flash a 1.6 or even try CM6, but I can't until I can root my device.

Any ideas?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehb224:
Power on the Dream by holding down both Power+Camera to enter the bootloader. It will display a screen with the SPL info on the line that starts with HBOOT.

i.e. HBOOT HBOOT-0.95.0000 (original stock TMO G1 SPL)

or HBOOT 1.33.2005 (Danger or Death SPL)

When you are done, press CALL + MENU + END to exit.

I've got a rooted Inc with a stock 2.1 rom and I was wondering if it would be possible to play a sound when I lock the phone. I searched but didn't find anything.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks :)
[Droid Incredible General] ghostrida:
they added this feature to 2.2

Rooting using the Exploid method:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Aman Arora:
Is it safe to do this and what will happen to all my settings contacts and all should I take a backup
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
Z4root method works as well.

And IMHO it seems easier.
[Captivate General] anilkuj:
Hi friends

i installed Wireless tether app from

hxxp://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=NexusOne

everything works fine my iphone and my PC are able to see my AP and are able to use the tethered internet , the only problem is my friends with Captivate and Vibrant phone cannot see this access point no matter what we tried ,

is there something different in the way the AP is being broadcasted ? and how to fix this issue.

any help appreciated

Thanks

Anil
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
It is because most of those wireless tethering app can't make your phone as true wi-fi access point (infrastruture mode) but rather use ad-hoc mode. PCs and iPhones can access ad-hoc network but most Android phones can't.
[Captivate General] Berserk87:
what?!

*************
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
That means those so-called wireless tethering apps are virtually ueseless. Android, or maybe just Samsung, doesn't support ad-hoc wireless networks.

To make an infrastructure mode wi-fi access point is much more complicated task.
[Captivate General] rabbivj:
hmm ive used barnacle in ad-hoc mode and it works fine for me for tethering...ive also used the wireless tether proggy in adhoc and it works fine on my captivate...
[Captivate General] Berserk87:
This will probably be fixed with froyo. Or i hope it is.
[Captivate General] naplesbill:
It will work fine between a PC and the phone. Ad-hoc is only an issue when trying to connect from phone to phone. Android phones (all that I have used) do not support connecting to an ad-hoc wireless network.
[Captivate General] LordLugard:
Android does not support ad-hoc wifi. Sad really, i found this out long ago when i had an Archos 5 Android tablet briefly. Every other device/toy i've owned (Nokia N800/N810/N900, iPod Touch, iPad) with the exception of Android devices and the Zune HD do ad-hoc wifi.
[HD2 General] me:
Isn't the HD2 screen supposed to change to landscape, when you turn it sideways?

I have not been able to get it to do that once. It always remains portrait.

I have tried turning it in both directions. I also did the "calibrate G-Sensor" thing in Settings, and it appeared to calibrate correctly.

Newest stock T-Mo rom, phone just received yesterday.

Suggestions?
[HD2 General] DECIM8:
Search would have been your friend on this question.

Tmous HD2 doesn't go to landscape on the home screen as shipped. The picture and music tabs should. There is a cab to enable it for all tabs (including home) or you can use BSB tweaks. I prefer BSB tweaks.
[HD2 General] me:
Just tried it with music. Didn't work.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
First, turn off the landscape option in BsB, then try the cab I have attached here
[HD2 General] me:
Thanks Sir Phunkee.

Just today, I finally got the landscape option to work in the Music and Recent Documents tab. And using BSB, I was able to add the option to a couple apps.

How does your cab work? Does it automatically add the landscape option to all apps?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
It's more to add rotation to all the sense tabs...but I think it does add it to a few apps too (file explorer, for example)...but I can't remember for sure.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oopmhpp:
I am finally rooted, but I'm not happy with the ROM I'm running. (1.6 Clean Donut)

I tried HERO and it was way to laggy, so I loaded Cyanogen 5.0.8 and 6.0...I cant get either to work properly. 6.0 won't allow me to access google apps, I know there is an update.zip file for that, but after flashing the update I still can't access google apps.

What else are you guys running?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerdog:
I extracted out the rom.zip from the RUU and here's the link to them.

Mediashare link - 3.26.651.6 rom.zip

These are the Official 2.2 ROM files - they are essentially the same stuff found in the PC36IMG.zip images posted around. They are not rooted.

Here's the file listing, unformatted (file size, file date/time, file name):

The 2nd link is the RUU application used to flash to scratch the Evo from a Windows machine, instead of using the manual zip, bootloader process. If you have ever used a Windows mobile phone, this is that same process. You just put the rom.zip file (must be that name) and put it in the same folder as the application.

MegaUpload - RUU app

This could be used to do Part 1 of the whole rooting process. It could also be used (I believe) to possibly do the entire rooting process in one swift flash. figure this would be helpful so that we [actual devs - not me] can/could create flashable RUU ROMs like we used to with WindowsMobile phones and like we used to with the Samsung Moment and Sprint's update utility.

EDIT: The rom.zip is signed by Sprint, so I believe all the rom.zips that were to be used would have to be signed - but not sure.

[EVO 4G Android Development] |-Goku-|:
Thanks for the post. But the RUU App link takes us to the [ROM]-SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28.zip file.

I'm still new on all this stuff, so I could be wrong, and I'm not doing something correctly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerryparid:
This is meant to be flashed with recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerdog:
What do you mean? This is actually found in the RUU app which is the official way to flash ROMs from HTC and Sprint.

I will fix the link for the RUU application itself.... here it is

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PYW696TV
[EVO 4G Android Development] ijimkoz:
You may have to run RUU more than once...

Jerdog Thank you sooooooooooooo much. I was able to unroot my phone following the steps and files you provided.

I would like to add a few things to help some future people out along the way.

I download the two files linked above. Make sure you check and see how your computer is set to handle file extensions so you do end up with a file named "rom.zip.zip"

Also I was able to get this to unroot my EVO on Windows 7 home premium 32 bit. One hicup along the way was as I was running the RUU ater placing the rom.zip in the folder, the program gave me a 170 error (usb) and asked me to quit. My EVO was on the black HTC screen with no green bar at the bottom.

I just re-ran the RUU and DID NOT TOUCH MY PHONE. The second time it took and ran and wiped the whole phone. SO if the RUU gives you an error be sure to try running it again, it should take.

Again Jerdog many many Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerdog:
Glad to hear! This is helpful, and could be used for a lot of things. Repackaging ROMs using this instead of update.zips I think could be a good option....

With the Moment we were able to have custom recovery's included in something like this
[EVO 4G Android Development] eldeladi:
use this rom as a base for Sprint Hero

Since the Hero is officially not getting a Froyo update, can this rom be modified to work on sprint hero.

I am sure this hasn't been brought up before since this is the first 2.2 sense cdma rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LudoGris:
Could this be used to push a rooted official Rom and clockwork recovery onto the phone? Basically updating to the official 2.2 with root and nand access together?

[EVO 4G Android Development] rdzlyz:
does it fix pri?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerdog:
Assuming you had the .img files needed you might be able to - which is why I posted it. The potential to use this to shorten the process and/or to get official root for 2.2....
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerdog:
Not sure - what is broken with pri?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerdog:
This ROM wouldn't be able to be. You'd have better luck with something Cyanogen puts out.... But that's my opinion. I am far from the authority...
[EVO 4G Android Development] thisisfun:
just in case this helps anybody..needed to restore my friends phone to stock after the latest radio/wimax updates toasted her 4g. (& the rooted froyo was fubar'd as well, her phone has been buggy & difficult to work with from the beginning)

the RUU wasn't working (wouldn't get past sending) so i renamed this rom to PC36IMG.zip threw it on the sd & booted into hboot, worked like a charm to restore the phone to stock 2.2 (still shows the 1.34 pri).
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
This is not a rooted ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LudoGris:
I didn't mean this was rooted itself, but could it be adjusted to be rooted. Could certain aspects of it be changed to allow us to push the rooted rom you put out.

What part of this is the rom? What part of what you did is the same as what is on here? And could your deodexed rom be signed and replace whatever it is on here that needs to be so we can use a "jailbroken" RUU to push a rooted rom onto the phone and then do toast's part 2 to update NAND.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerdog:

[EVO 4G Android Development] jerdog:
:) which is exactly why I posted.... I know there are plenty of people capable...
[EVO 4G Android Development] J_Tesla:
So, this might be a noob question, but can this ZIP file be renamed to update.zip to flash through the stock recovery, or is it only to rename it PC36IMG.zip? I'd really hate wiping my phone now.

I'm currently on 3.26.651.3. Yeah, I was too curious that I flashed the leaked one. XD

This includes an nv.img !

Has anyone tried using this to see if it updates PRI ??????
[EVO 4G Android Development] sturmen:
Thanks for this. Are you gonna do the same for the 9/10 RUU with the new NV?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerdog:
I don't believe so - I never applied it since I waited and didn't apply the OTA....
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerdog:
I think this was already done....? There wasn't an official RUU released for the 3.28 Stock ROM....
[EVO 4G Android Development] vcarvega:
The SuperSonic_S_Sprint zip is corrupt... I've tried downloading 3 times and it will not open.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vcarvega:
Bricked?

So I ran the ROM and now my phone will only boot to hboot mode & the RUU keeps failing w/ an unknown error... I'm assuming this is not recoverable?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dietzz:
newbie question here, but i just want to make sure i got it correct. i install the rom.zip on the root of the sdcard. so do i then start the phone out in the hboot screen (vol dn - power) or do i boot into a rom that i want to get rid of. thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] rajas_evo:
any particular reason why you are trying to flash this old and non-rooted file to your evo?

what are you trying to achieve?

to flash a custom rom to your evo, you must first root it. there are many guides out there that explains how to do that. once you have done that process, then you will be able to flash custom roms. you do that by placing the file for the custom rom in the root folder of the sdcard, then restart the phone by holding the vol down and power button to get into the bootloader. and then you pretty much follow the onscreen steps.

hope this helps
[EVO 4G Android Development] skunkd:
my dilemma is that I have a rooted evo running a synergy rom on Hboot .79 and Radio 1.39

thing is that the s status is S-ON on this particular phone and unrevoked forever does not work on that radio version.

I've tried to upgrade the radio through clockwork recovery with the prepackaged zip yet when I reboot the phone still shows the old radio version.

I've tried installing an RUU from the PC but they all error out.

I'm looking for an RUU packaged in an install-able .zip that includes updated Radios Kernels Hboot and ROM in one. Is that even possible so i can fix this phone and get it some updated radios?!

will this do what i need?? and how should i do it? should i rename it to PC36IMG.zip and put it in the root folder or should i just dl it and flash it through clockwork??
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
Sounds like you need to find an old 2.1 ROM (eclair), and flash it. Then all of your #s will be from the same era. Then root using toasts method, with the eng-PC36IMG, to get s-off.

And I will humbly suggest amonRa or drellisdee aR-style recovery.

Then you should be able to get up to date. Only concern I have is trying to go backwards with Android version #s, you may get the 'main version is older' error .

Hmmm, possibly if you downgrade to the. 76eng hboot, you MAY not run into that.

These are just ideas. I remember the one-click auto-root worked for 1.47. I rooted right after launch on 1.36 using toasts files and fastRX8s tutorial. If you can downgrade you Android OS version, the old method may get your S-off. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in here.

OR, just try updating radios with a different recovery (amonRa)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rikudo-Sennin:
After having flashed to JM2 + mimocan lag fix, I did notice significant improvement in terms of overall speed. However, there was still one annoying lag that made navigation though menus and apps less enjoyable. Everytime I hit either home or back button in order to return to the home screens, the home screens would appear, but be unresponsive for about a second before I can either click an icon or scroll to other pages.

That was before I tried removing Samsung's daily Briefing widget from my home screens. Surprise!! After the widget has been removed, the home screens becomes responsive immediately after they re-appear. And now the UI feels much snappier, even comparable to that of that phone from the fruit company, I'd say :)

Perhaps this is the reason why people seem to have differing experiences about lag on SSGS (the fact that they have or not have this stupid widget, which ironically was pushed heavily by Samsung as one of the cool features of this phone, on their home screens)? I'm not sure whether those who use alternative launchers would have the same experience or not, as Daily Briefing Widget probably won't load on those launchers anyway, but I can say that - for my case (I'm using stock touchwiz) it does make a huge difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sputnik.:
Yep, i recognized the same thing... So now after each flash I remove everything from the Touchwiz homescreen and then install my other launcher
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MaxT:
Me too.I deleted all samsung widgets and my SGS is now F1
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jmmL64:
Seems to work for me.

On a related note; does anyone know of similar widgets to Daily Briefing? It's a really good idea, but obviously it causes some of the lag, and I'd like the ability to add my own feeds (e.g., I don't want the AP - I want more UK-focused BBC).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] monzablue16v:
Flyscreen gathers news from places BBC news has an apk in the market as well which is ok. Or just put an RSS feed reader widget on and tag it to google uk news rss feed get the best of all news sites then :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] heygrl:
The two worst ones are the Buddies Now and Daily Briefing widget. The Feeds and Updates widget doesn't lag much, only when it's pulling in new data.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I get the following error below:

ERROR/PackageParser(121): Package com.mobitv.sprint.tvwidget has no certificates at entry AndroidManifest.xml; ignoring!

just look for psx4droid htc legend.

oh, and leave me a comment pls.

A very useful guide. Will try out some of the games mentioned above and will give feedback. Keep up the good work.
[Legend Themes and Apps] ms_green:
I'm glad you like it :) I would appreciate it if you helped expanding the list.

Everyone else has been ignoring me so far :P
[Legend Themes and Apps] rajasyaitan:
I've been sceptical about the emulator running on Legend. Wanted to try it by myself but I was scared the it might be a waste of time. Been searching around if Legend its playable on Legend and you provided the answer. The Legend community is pretty small and everyone else is preoccupied with custom roms and all. Will certainly do that.
[Legend Themes and Apps] ms_green:
It feels good to have helped someone :) but don't expect all games to run that well or you'll get disappointed. There are lots of games that are too slow to be payable at the moment. Maybe there'll be some updates in the future to make it better and who knows....maybe things will get better with froyo..

[Legend Themes and Apps] slighmd:
finished FF7 on psx4droid. advise: get a PC PSX emulator for the underwater/ submarine level. just before going underwater, save on the world map via the ingame menu, not the save state, and transfer that save/memcard file to the pc psx emulator, finish that part from there, save again, then retransfer back to the .psx4droid directory in the sd card. that's also how you basically kill the emerald and ruby weapons. also the same for the first fight with the ultima weapon
[Legend Themes and Apps] ms_green:
Cool!

Which phone are you guys using? And thx for the tip concerning the submarine level!
