Ok, so I got a new phone after a malfunction with my old one. Downgraded to the earlier-than-stock ROM

ROM 1.12.531.2

and then I tried the T-Mobile 6.5 ROM

And in each one of those, that little light for the rear mute button did not work properly. In the official 6.5 ROM, the light would only blink red when the button was pushed to mute it. In the WM6.1 ROM (1.12.531.2), the light would only be on when not muted and turn off when muted, instead of turning red. It's not the phone, I tried 2 different TP2's. Any suggestions?

Is there a 2.2 rom with espresso? Or a way to put espresso into the latest cm6? Thanx.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
A.No HTC/TMO hasn't released a Froyo Ver of Espresso yet...

B.No that is not possible and it would be illegal for Cyan to use the Esp source code considering it's not open sourced like the rest of Andro...The Sense apps rely on HTC's framework which is different from Vanilla, which Cyan is allowed to make...But he can't bundle it with Gapps after receiving a C&D from Google.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeyItsLou:
I upgraded my radio to 2.15.00.07.28 but am still working on the .77 HBoot I was under the impression when upgrading the radio it also upgraded the HBoot as well. If not what's the advantage of doing this and what's the process????

Thanks in advance for any help.

Greetings,

I was one of the foolish who lost root when I accepted and downloaded the Froyo ota. My question is simple, if I have a rooted nandroid back up of 2.1, how do I revert back to it? Do I have to use adb? Is there a way to unlock the stock nandroid back up utility on the phone? Lastly, I just can't seem to get the hang of adb and have searched high and low for instructions that just make sense.

Thanks,

rmstrumpet
[EVO 4G General] clocker6633:
When you updated with the OTA your rooted recovery with nandroid was lost. There is currently no way to restore it. So in summary you're previous nandroid backups are useless until a root method is found for 2.2.

try this one.. taken from a zip in the first post on the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=735596

version 2.2.1 gmail.apk

You may need to push through ADB as it was taken from a flashable package.

Edit: I can confirm this works. Just installed it on my phone. Rebooted and got the "whats new" screen when first opening gmail. Also reply button is at the top along with all other changes.

To install, copy over to /system/app with root explorer or push through ADB with "adb push Gmail.apk /system/app"

Verified also working on other phones. Also, if you are on an odex'd rom, make sure you delete original .apk and .odex files.

If I would have posted that, I probably would have searched the marketplace first to find out that no you cannot, at least not yet.

I think google may be moving everything towards being able to update individual gapps through the marketplace, but not quite yet. Plus I am not sure whether this has been officially released.

Can anyone explain how to install this via terminal emulator?

I've tried "cp" and I've tried "install" - always get the "File exists" error.

Am I using the wrong command? Can't use adb since I'm not at my computer for a while.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] superevilllama:
Try just cut and paste with root explorer and reboot. A whole lot easier.

Either way you have to mount /system/app as RW before it will let you modifiy it.

Hey thanks for this. Never tried Root explorer - worked like a charm. Dunno why I've always been messing with terminal and adb when it's been this easy ;)
[Nexus One General] crabnebula:
Hi,

For some reason when I run a speed test over Wifi, I get very slow upload speeds of 0.2 kB/s (downloads are fine at 400+ kB/s).

I am using a Buffalo router with DD WRT firmware and all other devices work fine with it.

This occurs with stock Froyo. I recently installed Enomther's ROM, and still have the exact same issue.

Any ideas?
[Nexus One General] noiz7:
Have you tried flashing a new radio? I just flashed the Korean radio that is on the forums and it doubled my upload speeds.
[Nexus One General] crabnebula:
Thanks.

I forgot to mention but I'm already using the 5.08 Korean radio. Come to think of it, I wonder if installing that radio might coincide with the beginning of my issue. Might try downgrading if I can't find anything else.
[Nexus One General] noiz7:
Yeah, results with the Korean radio seem to be mixed bag. My download speed went down a tiny bit, but uploads soared for me. Some people it has no effect, so try the stock radio again and see if that fixes it.
[Nexus One General] crabnebula:
Tried downgrading. Same result. Really puzzled about this...
[Nexus One General] noiz7:
Hmmm, maybe try connecting to another Wifi access point and see if you get the same results.

I've asked this question in other forums and searched the web, but no one seems to know the answer. Why does the genie news and weather app have question marks over the top of the thunderstorm icons? Does anyone know?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Babydollll:
The question mark is there to let you know that there MAY BE THUNDERSTORM/THUNDERSHOWER/RAIN activity in a given area but that it is not a definite. At least I believe that is what it means.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funnyface19:
maybe you live in a remote jungle and just guessing lol

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] zigzackattack:
I have just a hypothetical question. I have seen applications that come VERY close to the corresponding iPhone applications in terms of UI and behavior. However, none of them are perfect replicas of the iPhone applications. bTunes for example looks very much like the iPhone music player yet it leaves out landscape coverflow and the now playing layout is slightly off. My question is, is the reason for these changes due to the software limitations of the phone or inability to copy UI because of apple patents. Are there people who have created exact replicas of the iPhone apps for android and just used them for themselves? Just a random question. Thanks.

So I made a nand of the rom I'm using and flashed it to my wife's phone (so she wouldn't have to set her phone up at all). It logged in under my accounts (which I expected). I removed my FB account but it will not let me remove my gmail account. It says the only way I can do that is to factory reset the phone, which defeats the point.

Does anyone have the setup wizard app or know where I can find it? I couldn't find it in the market.

Am I fighting a lost cause here?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y3ahright:
i beleive you are I personally have yet to figure out how to remove your gmail account you can add a gmail of hers but i dont think you can remove yours from it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Nevermind. I gave up and did a clean install. I'll just use Titanium and install her settings back. No biggie. I was just being lazy.

I am curious though if that set up wizard app would let me remove a gmail account from a phone. I even logged in and syned with her gmail account and it wouldn't let me remove mine.

Really simple... flash a rom that doesn't come with google apps.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
What I'm aiming to do is put my backup on my wife's phone...only with the ability to replace my accounts and login with hers. So pretty much any nand I create is going to have google apps already flashed.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkopalek:
To install a nand restore on another phone

all you have to do is put it in the right folder.

Step 1) Make a nand Backup on the new phone.

Step 2) Take the nand backup from YOUR phone, save it somewhere

step 3) Save YOUR nand backup to the right folder inside hers.

For example: Her phone will look for

/sdcard/nandroid/HTC123ABCDEFG

so her backup will be /sdcard/nandroid/HTC123ABCDEFG/2010-0814-1234/ or something

your phone might be

/sdcard/nandroid/HTC456HIJKLMNO

so you need to take your backup, maybe called /2010-0821-1111/ and put it in her folder, so that on her SD card you have

/sdcard/nandroid/HTC123ABCDEFG/2010-0821-1111/

Then she can 'nand restore' that, perfectly.

I have done this when getting new Eris's. First root the new Eris.

Then make a nand backup (so it creates the right folder)

Then drag the old nand backup into that folder

The problem is that once you nand restore, whatever Google account was set up with that backup is the ONLY primary Google account that will be allowed for that phone. So your Contacts/Calendar/Gmail syncing will have to be done with that original Google account. You have to data/factory reset anyway to change it. You could go Settings >Accounts and sync> and uncheck the the boxes for syncing contacts, gmail, and calendar, but that might be impractical.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
It took me a few tries to figure out that I had to put my nand in her file located at sd/nandroid/whateverfilename and couldn't simply drop my sd/nandroid/whateverfilename/datenandwascreated file on her phone.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Doing a factory reset would return the rom to a factory state (like a fresh wipe and flash of a new rom)? Surely google/verizon/htc thought that people might want to change their e-mail address for whatever reason and included a way to do this without resetting the phone? Guess not.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Last night I ran a quick experiment with a Froyo ROM (Kaos V30):

- Shut down phone

- booted Amon_RA

- # mount /data

- # rm /data/system/accounts.db

- # umount /data

- rebooted

Reboot seemed fine, and there were no (Gmail) contacts present in the dialer, nor any access to Gmail. Shortcuts to specific (phone) contacts were still in my home screens (including images of the person), but clicking on them resulted in an error. No apparent FCs anywhere.

Clicking on the Market app took me immediately to the Google Account setup screen (which I believe is the same thing as Settings -> Accounts & sync -> Add account -> Google). I don't know if this (behavior) is unique to 2.2 or not.

I don't have a second Google account, so I just re-entered the username/pass for my account - the same one that had already been on the phone, and the phone started "syncing". I sort of wondered what might happen (because I am using Froyo "Save my settings"), but everything came back as I would expect - Contacts, Gmail, etc.

I would have proceeded a little further with this experiment, but I couldn't access the Market ("connection error") (about 1am EST Saturday morning), so I stopped, assuming this was a failure - and restored a Nandroid backup. When the restored ROM also had trouble with the Market, I thought - "oh, boy, what have I done?" But, it seems that a number of people have reported trouble with the Android Market late last night / early this AM - and the Market was working this AM on my restored ROM, too.

I could repeat the experiment if there is any interest, and this time use my GF's account for testing purposes. There are probably some things cached that should be cleaned up prior to adding back in a Google account; probably it wouldn't hurt to use

Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications

To clear the data and cache areas for a few things such as

Browser

Calendar

Calendar Storage

Contacts

Contacts Storage

Dialer

Dialer Storage

Email

Gmail

Google Voice

Maps

Market

(Plus others as appropriate - Twitter, FB, etc)

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
THAT'S AWESOME! I would be very interested for you to repeat this experiment. This would be VERY useful for me. My wife likes the whole rooted phone with all the extra options but she's not into it like I am. If this works and is stable, I could easily set her phone up exactly like mine. I would test it myself but I'm not an advanced adb user. If I break something, it's just broke which would probably equal the doghouse for me since it's my wifes phone.

If this works, you should write a how-to for the community. I couldn't find one when I searched and I'm sure others would find it useful.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
So long as you have adb working, you do not need to be an "advanced" adb user in order to help out with the testing. After you create a Nandroid Backup in Amon_RA, there are literally only four lines you type in using the "adb shell" (with Amon_RA still running):

mount /data
rm /data/system/accounts.db
umount /data
exit

... and then do a Wipe Dalvik-cache in Amon_RA

Everything else that I suggested is performed using

Settings -> Manage -> Manage applications

in the main OS. (I suppose it might even be possible to delete /data/system/accounts.db using a root-aware file manager, but I prefer to do stuff like that in an offline fashion)

If something goes wrong - well, you have a full Nandroid backup available to restore to. The same thing goes for your wife's phone too, right?

bftb0

PS For anyone else reading this thread: it is a quarter-baked idea (not even half-baked); don't take away from this any sort of mis-impression that this has undergone any significant testing (none at all on 2.1, in fact). Feel free to experiment yourself - but make good Nandroid backups!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
I do have a working adb and understand for the most part that you're deleting accounts.db in /data/system?? What I'm not following is why I would need to boot into recovery to delete the file. Would the process not work the same if you made the changes while booted in the rom? Do the changes affect the recovery partition at all or did you boot to recovery so you can immediately wipe dalvik and reboot? That's my biggest fear.

Sorta the same question - does it matter where you're booted when you do adb commands (booted, usb mounted, recovery, powered off)?

P.S. I've read several responses you've posted in other threads. You're very thorough in reponses and I personally have learned a lot from reading them. Thanx for your input and help with us noob and novice users.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The changes do not affect the recovery partition - the reason that the recovery partition is used for almost all administration involving system elements is because there are not files which are "locked" by applications that are using those files, nor do you have anything running which depends on that file at the moment it is deleted.

The account credentials are important to lots of applications which are running on the phone in the regular OS, and you will get strange behaviors, crashes, and possible corruption of application state if you just yank the file out from underneath all those applications. You could try to stop those apps first - but a lot of them auto-restart on their own.

I'll use an analogy; it's like the difference between setting a table without a tablecloth, versus trying to remove the tablecloth after all the dishes are in place.

There are lots of reasons to prefer doing things in an offline mode, but the primary one is that you are not "yanking X out from underneath Y" - when "Y" thinks that "X" is still there.

It is typical for both system and application logic to do things like check for files on startup, and then either rebuild them from defaults if they are not present, or read/write their contents if they are already present. It is a lot more rare for applications to be coded in way that they are constantly check to see if something they though was there has suddenly disappeared. Moreover, the way that locking works with Linux kernels, you can delete a file that is opened by another process, and replace it with a new file - but the processes that are still running with that file open will still have a copy of it.

As for being scared - you have a Nandroid backup, right?

That makes a lot since. I'll try this method out the next time I change my wife's rom.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mslisaj:
First about my phone, It's a Sprint CDMA Hero rooted and running Damages 2.09.1 rom. I have a 16gig card in it and the phone really works well.

Now my problem..........

My internal memory has a parasite that is slowly eating it away. I have figured out that when internal memory gets below 16MB it turns on the little warning in the status bar. So this is how I'm checking my internal memory so everyone that takes their time to respond to me is using the same method. I go to Settings> SD&Phone Storage, at the bottom of the screen that comes up is the "Internal Phone Storage" Available space and mine says 15.84MB. Today I installed a highly rated memory manager from the Market and it didn't help at all. So my first question is How much "internal Phone Storage" do you have left?

Now my second question is when you go to Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> and scroll way down to "Mail - HTC Corporation" and click on that. Now look at the storage. Mine says 15.64 MB Total. Which breaks down there to Application 2.59MB and Data at 13.05MB. Clearly my Mail program is holding the biggest chunk of memory. But I want to know how this compares to everyone else's. If this is true then it would account for the parasitic growth or loss of my memory.

So if I'm way different then this will start a good discussion on what to do about this problem. Just let me say at this point that I delete all email once I have read it. I delete the sent, draft and Trash folders too. I also go into the SD Card and delete everything that is in the .Mail folder. So if my phone is storing old email now I have to fine out where and delete it.........

Also I constantly clear out the various cache's that the phone has too. But this memory is slowly going away. Any help would be appreciated very much.

I also appreciate everyone weighing in on this perplexing problem.

Thanks for your help and comments.........

you are confusing storage (like a Hard Drive) and RAM (memory)... the memory manager only helps keep unneeded programs from running in the background it will not free up space on the internal 'hard drive'

you could also 'upgrade' to CyanogenMod 6 as Android 2.2 natively supports putting apps on the SD card.
