Hello

Im new to posting, but not new to the forums. I read this forums daily. I would like to take this time to say thank you to the whole community, I personally have benefited from all the custom roms and tutorials.

I have a question:

I was on 2.1 rooted and decided I was going to unlock my nand and get Fresh Evo rooted 2.2 rom (which is amazing by the way) so I did a NAND backup before starting the process of unlocking my nand and flashing the Fresh 2.2 evo rom. Now that I am on the 2.2 Fresh Evo rom I would like to restore my 2.1 nand backup to take a look at some important data on there, after restoring that backup can I come back to a backed up nand of 2.2 Fresh Evo rooted rom without having any problems?

Simply, can I go from 2.2 rooted to a NAND backup of 2.1 rooted stock, then come back to my 2.2 FreshEvo rom?

I appreciate the help!

Thanks

why wouldn't you be able to? just make a nand of the freshevo rom

Yes you can. I keep a Nandroid of Rooted 2.1 Stock, Rooted 2.2 Stock, and my latest CM6 Nightly that works handy at all times.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exazrg:
Thanks!

So just simple restores will do it when switching? No need for cache wipes or anything?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] M3NYFAC3Z:
Tried and it didnt work....tried flashing and MM and all the cm6 themes and my status bar will not change....lol im so frusterated because this is the only ROM i have problems themeing....it...just wont change and this is a damn good ROM:mad:

I even copied the drawables and pasted it in the rom and signed it and all that and that damn status bar is still there ....its possessed i tell ya!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ywindlass:
The text on the status bar doesnt change with the theming. You have to change it manually through the settings on cm6, which is what kangorama is based on. Gala S theme is very nice. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] M3NYFAC3Z:
I know that, thats not my problem....this rom wont theme for me....and I dont know why....so NOW Im using Enom's ROM...and now I got what I want...but now I dont have white clock.....i tried editing the services.jar using a post step by step but nuttin change ...ahhh w/e Im tried I dont care anymore lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lolittle:
Because the adw launcher is custom themed in the rom and its renamed to kowlauncher.apk

Find it..pull it theme it and push it :) should work then i believe

If not i have no idea cus mine works fine lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
:)

It should work... status bar is in framework-res.apk.

Attach the status bar you want (in a zip file) an I'll make a custom version for you...

Hey guys, I'm leaving to study abroad in a few days. I'll be gone until January and I was wondering what my cheapest options are for making phone calls/sms both in my host country and home.

I currently have a myTouch 3G that I'm taking with me. I also have Skype on my laptop with unlimited calls to US/Canada. Is there any way to make skype calls using my phone?

Any other options?
[General Topics] betoNL:
Abroad, always look for a hotspot to connect to internet with your smartphone via wifi...then you can place calls with a sip provider like voipbuster, justvoip, etc. threw programs like fring or Nimbuzz.

Make sure to disable 3g, 2g, etc when abroad to avoid extra roaming kosts

Hey guys, I'm trying to look for an Arabic rom update for CM 5.0.7. I can't seem to find one and every time I get close I either go to a Google 403 page or a thread where the download link has been updated to a CM 6 link. I really like 5.0.7 and I would like the Arabic update link for CM 5.0.7. Does anybody know where I can get the .zip from? Thanks in advance.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Shadowafs8:
Okay, the first file actually made it work. The only problem is that when you go to Gmail, you'll have to go into the message, otherwise for some weird reason it'll show backwards. If you have an easy solution, by all means post it, but you don't have to go crazy. Thanks a lot for the help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] senbad:
You do not say at the first post that your phone 32b

rty this CM5.0.7-32b.zip
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Shadowafs8:
Yeah...sorry for that I realized I was missing that detail. As a said in my other post, it's working great besides that small minor detail with the Gmail, but I can live with that. I'll download this file as a backup in case.

Thank you for your help, it's highly appreciated.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
I tried out Cyanogen 6 RC2 for the first time today on my rooted locked-bootloader N1. Fiddled around for about half an hour and then restored my prior nandroid backup. I was also able to use TitaniumBackup to restore app and system data.

One question: I see that the launcher app is not the same as on stock N1. So even though Titanium backs up the launcher data, my home screens can't be restored to Cyanogen's ADWLauncher. So my questions:

1) Is it possible to load back in the stock N1 launcher, and then restore data to it by Titanium to get back exactly the home screens I had before?

2) Can ADWLauncher (or any other app) backup the layout of my (stock launcher) home screens and restore them to ADW/LauncherPro/etc?

It just seems such a pain to set everything up from scratch if it's not needed... I've got a bunch of folders full of AnyCut shortcuts that I'd have to recreate one by one again.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gunthy`:
AFAIK it's not possible to export/import homescreens between different launcher apps... Myself I use Launcher Pro which has a built-in backup function. When switching ROM & after reinstalling/restoring your apps, importing the Launcher Pro backup works like a charm...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
What you need to do is load cyanogen. Then remove that launcher and push the stock launcher to replace the cyan launcher. Now your backup should restore fine for your home screens.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkrmec:
When installing custom roms.. when going from one to totaly another rom.. it's always best to start clean and don't use any restoring programs because they usualy confuse the **** out the current system.

Manual restoration of all apps etc is best.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Ok well I tried that. The problem is, the AOSP-compiled Launcher2.apk which is intended to work on CM6 isn't recognized by Titanium as the same program to restore the data back to. So I get the stock launcher but I can't restore the backup. I tried forcing it to restore the launcher data to Launcher2 anyways and that resulted in force-closes.

Anyway that's my ROM experiment for the day =)

Is it not possible for someone to write a program that backs up home screens and restores them later? Even better if it could be across different launchers.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I'm not an expert, but did you make sure to make sure the launcher name is the same as what it should be? I think it has something to do with that but I don't know what exactly. I remember reading about that around the forums here.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
No idea. I've already restored it back to stock rooted. But any other suggestions are welcome.

[General Questions and Answers] delewin:
Hi All,

I have a Touch HD and I am looking at replacing my battery.

I have noticed that the genuine HTC 1350mV part no: 35H00120-01M has 2 metal contacts on the top right and left corners of the flat side of the battery.

All the non-genuine batteries do not have these 2 metal 'contacts' on the flat side of the battery.

When I put a multimeter across them, it shows that they are connected to each other, but not connected to the actual battery terminals. By that I mean, there is no voltage drop when I connect one of these terminals to any one of the main power terminals of the battery.

I have looked at the HTC_Blackstone_Service_Manual and it shows that these contacts connect to metal plate. This plate could be a shield or a heat sink for the battery.

Can anyone advise me just what are these 2 contacts used for?

Are they necessary?

Will my reception suffer?

If all 3rd party batteries don't come with these, can I assume they are not needed?

If they are not needed, then why did HTC see fit to have them in place?

Thank you in advance.

I received my MSL code from a sprint rep by email today, but when i do either the ##786# or ##3282# methods for updating the PRI, after entering my password, i get a message that says:

"Check password error, please try again."

Has anyone else had this happen? Does this just mean the sprint rep just managed to give me the wrong 6 digit MSL code?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackDaniels7:
yeah you probably just got the wrong code *2 and ask somone to give it too you it took me 5 min to get a rep that knew how to get it and off i went

[HD2 Accessories] iroczinoz:
Hi all,

Just received the leather Pdair horizontal pouch for my 9193 HD2.

Now I was under the impression the 8585 and 9193 were of the same size and the T-Mobile HD2 was a little smaller?

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

The phone fits into the case but it is a very tight fit, as a result the buttons are depressed and the screen is on all the time.

PDair have replied to my email that they do not have a case for the 9193.

So HTC have released 3 different sizes of this phone? I cannot understand why.
[HD2 Accessories] nrfitchett4:
more than likely they have a "universal" case they thought would fit the hd2 and it doesn't. I don't think there is enough of a size difference between the hd2's to matter with a leather case. Now for the invisishields it could be an issue.

I would try to send it back and get my money back. The cases really should be able to handle the hd2 and a protective case. Mine does:

[HD2 Accessories] iroczinoz:
I bought this case on recommendation from a post in this section.

I asked them if the HD2 comes in 3 different sizes but no response.

From what I have read the T-Mobile USA and the LEO 8585 vary in size. The telstra 9193 I would have thought was the same size as the Leo 8585. Obviously not or it could just be a bad case.

hi

I suggest you could try unlockig it again (I assume it is sim-unlocked?). I used to run axdadev_all_unlock-v1.6_138 only once, but I was having some problems, so I always use same application twice and it works great

1) download axdadev_all_unlock-v1.6_138 and copy it onto device

2) find it and run it (on device) via file explorer

3) when u see "success" screen, soft reset device

4) run axdadev_all_unlock-v1.6_138 again

5) when u see "success" screen, soft reset device

let me know if it worked

BTW:

1) have you tried to Hard reset your xda II ?

2) have you tried different radio's ?

3) are your devices european or maybe from USA?

regards

Matt

hi..try to upgrade ur radio stack..

according to this forum,radio 1.17 is the best choice..:D

but i'm using radio 1.18,wm6.1 by aeroflyluby and still not find any trouble..phone OK GPRS OK..:)..but the latest one is 1.19

u can use himaupgradeut or himaupgradeut_noid (for european or other but i think ur device is asia version)then put ur rom file (nk.nbf),ur radio file (radio.nbf) and click the himaupgradeut..

but u must sure there are enough battery (50% above) in ur device before upgrading..

just wait and relax(coffee,snack,etc:D)

ps:if u want a 30mb storage for ur device when using wm5 above,before upgrading u can use ExtROM unlocker and HIMA DOC Tools for repartition ur storage.

hope this will help:)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] aeroflyluby:
1.17 radio is most stable :D

Himaupgradeut_noID is safier, it works like normal update but does not check device orgin, so you can upgrade even chineese PPC For Chiineeesee hands himalaya too.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] manifest3r:
Well, it seems like my phone has had its last drop. Now it's just stuck in a boot loop. I tried taking it into bootloader and reflashing, but no dice. It's been a good 2 years, you will be missed. The crappy photoshop doesn't do it justice :(

It was weird, its had way worse drops than on the dirt, but I guess it had its fun. Its been real guys.

I don't wanna get the samsung moment :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dertester123:
How far does it boot before it loops?

Maby your button to enter bootloader is dead. I had this with my on/off button, it was easy to fix if you have little soldering skills.

That it hangs in a loop could be because of a brocken memory module but it could also mean that a bad reset because of the shake just corrupted the memory and its nothing to bad.

I have had this happen on my kaiser before, what fixed it was to erase the files android create on the SD card (booting from Nand). Maybe it will work for you?

The thing it it goes into bootloader, and I can flash it, but when it starts up it still loops at the boot animation. It shows the green droid animation over and over again.

did you try flashing back to windows mobile?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dertester123:
It seems that there is just something wrong with your actual installation. Have you cleared dalvic cache and loadet a new androidinstall.tar/gz on the sd?

I would suggest you try to flash a orginal Windows Mobile rom like thoughtlesskyle said. Try a radio update too if this will not help alone.

What to you mean with loop? does it show and staysa at the green android all the time and cant go further? or does it really reboot at some point and load untill the android pic again and again?

Recently had my phone back from HTC for dust removal and I'm not entirely sure if they've changed the screen to SLCD. The rom has been updated to 0.83, but they tell me they always update the rom when a phone comes in for repair.

Is there a program I can safely run to determine this?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Large Hadron:
I've not seen an S-TFT desire, but I'd think it unlikely it has the pen-tile subpixel arrangement, so if you can see that then it's probably AMOLED.

I personally find this most noticeable during power-up - the white startup screen has a green fringe down one side and a red one down the other.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lukehluke:
I would have thought that they would have given you the same type of screen as you had before.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister-C:
Thanks for all the replies. When I view pictures in the HTC gallery, (tap on one them first to view the pic without the share and trashcan icon etc), the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen (ie outside the picture area) look exactly the same as when switched off, i.e. no backlight at all visible. Does this pretty much confirm its amoled? Perhaps somebody with a SLCD Desire could confirm if they can see a backlight in these areas
