[Droid X Android Development] mgarcia2682:
sorry i didt see that in the first post thank you for you help though
[Droid X Android Development] yourfriendwayned:
hmm I do the instructions and have RSD up and the boot loader up on phone and both devices are ready to go but RSD doesn't show my device... dumb
[Droid X Android Development] bignadad:
no prob.. just updated it....

For those with problems with RSD light not showing device

I had problems too but when i got into bootloader and manipulated the device id settings in RSD it eventually worked...

bootloader is just a text screen with just a few lines of text.. once you connect to PC make sure you see USB display on device..
[Droid X Android Development] dvation191:
Calls work fine for me - can hear both ways.
[Droid X Android Development] oscar4690:
i cant use rs it wont let me how do i do the logwrapper oned
[Droid X Android Development] yourfriendwayned:
alright now I switched modes and it shows the device but "start" is greyed out - lol I guess one step closer but not enough
[Droid X Android Development] bignadad:
If you have Koush's recovery installed, follow these steps BEFORE attempting to update to 2.2:

UNINSTALL the Recovery APK in Settings, Applications

Reboot

Run "adb shell"

Run "su"

Run "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system"

Run "cp /system/bin/logwrapper.bin /system/bin/logwrapper"

Reboot
[Droid X Android Development] oscar4690:
please someone help rsd wont let me do the flash idk y how can i remove the logwrapper to repace for new one
[Droid X Android Development] LT1UltraZ:
did a factory rest and all is well again.
[Droid X Android Development] Joe92T:
The post above may be playing mind tricks on me, but is anyone else feeling that the displays clarity has gone down with the update? I know in 2.1 the colors were absolutely perfect but in 2.2 is anyone else noticing things looking more fuzzy then before? Take a close look at your homescreen icons for example
[Droid X Android Development] uptheforest:
yeah i made a post earlier in this thread. the widgets and gallery look tacky now

oh well ill take it
[Droid X Android Development] intrloper:
Market Issue

Anyone else having issues with APPS not showing up in the market?

Astro paid app isnt showing and so are some others.

Fix yet?
[Droid X Android Development] MrDanger:
Man.. I have watched this forum blow up in the past couple of days.

Please keep responding to what you find with your Droid X's. I am currently on the Incredible and I am in a war as in deciding to keep it or pay the restocking fee and get the X. I got about 3 weeks for me to make a decision. This thread will help me in that. I mainly like my incredible because I control it :D

Anyways,

Congratulations on your Froyo!
[Droid X Android Development] gw4k:
Quick Question

Since we got this leak it more than likely isn't a final release. If we install this will we still be granted to updates further down the road?

Example, we install this now. In a few weeks and an OTA update comes out officially, will we be able to update by going into our system settings or will we have to go back to 2.1 and then update OTA?
[Droid X Android Development] yourfriendwayned:
Alright guys I got RSD working now - I went to my other 64 bit machine and did the exact thing I did with my desktop and did it to my desktop and boom its flashing - odd how things work but I am not going to complain - might of been something odd set up on the desktop...

Updated - uhm it actually says failed flashing process...
[Droid X Android Development] GarethD:
Can you explain this for me!?

Apply Froyo 2.2 Update

1. Run "adb shell" (you can use root explorer or terminal)

2. Run "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/system /system"

3. Run "mv /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su"

I'm not as technically versed as som of you, can someone explain in a litle more detail how to do the the three steps listed here. Thanks in advance.
[Droid X Android Development] Joe92T:
Ide say the contrast / sharpness in the display settings is definately off from what it was in 2.1.. the display does lack the vividness it had before
[Droid X Android Development] bignadad:
Cant this be done by just running root explorer and moving su from /system/bin to /system/xbin/ ?

will update instructions if so
[Droid X Android Development] oscar4690:
finally got 2.2 wanted to know if i do a factory reset will it unroot me no right il sty with my rooted 2.2 and can we flash any custom 2.2 roms
[Droid X Android Development] LT1UltraZ:
u still will be rooted.
[Droid X Android Development] bignadad:
Quick updates i have noticed so far using Froyo

- New gallery layout

- Speed seems about the same

- Graphics look fine to me (saw some reports of fuzzyiness)

- New Widgets (Market, News and Weather, Picture Frame Plus Widget)

- Flash is working in internet browser

- Camera has a new layout

[Droid X Android Development] oscar4690:
thank you for that
[Droid X Android Development] oscar4690:
how did you guys test the flash by any chance i cant seem to get it to wrk
[Droid X Android Development] bignadad:
i browsed to some sites i knew had flash...
[Droid X Android Development] drew630:
Or you can download flash showcase from the market.

Also I noticed some changes with the recent apps feature- if you hold down home button

And left hand orientation
[Droid X Android Development] yourfriendwayned:
Alright I am up to froyo mr OP lol

- New Battery Options look

- Lock Screen Sound option
[Droid X Android Development] Mayfairkid:
IT sounds like you did not move the SU from /system/bin to /system/xbin You may have to SBF to stock 2.1u1, root, move SU from /system/bin to /system/xbin, then reapply the update.zip
[Droid X Android Development] Kingtech677:
Hmm. I did indeed move SU to /system/xbin. I'm thinking I might have grabbed the update.zip for non root by mistake. Now the motorola drivers wont work and I cant get into it with ADB... argh
[Droid X Android Development] bignadad:
+1 on Flash Showcase :)
[Droid X Android Development] Zilliano:
I keep getting the 'assert failed: Apply_patch_check(".sytem/app/BlurAlarmClock.apk", (****load of hexadecimal numbers)

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

I've never tried to install recovery. I did the one click root a while back, but that's all I've done to the phone. :/

What's going on?
[Droid X Android Development] antirice:
The Best

just got finished loading up and the first thing i did was go to epixhd.com to check out if the flash is really working. Guess so cuz im watching an indiana jones movie, and it looks real good.

THIS IS THE BEST PHONE EVER!!!!!!!!!
[Droid X Android Development] b00sted:
once on 2.2 can we put the custom recovery back on?
[Droid X Android Development] bignadad:
i would try to use sbf procedure on post 1
[Droid X Android Development] bignadad:
Not sure about that, but i don't see why not.....

I'll hold off for now.. At least till there is a custom ROM to even flash
[Droid X Android Development] tmmedic20:
Just throwing It out there but did you guys with fails move the update.zip too the root of your sd mine downloaded to download folder.
[Droid X Android Development] Zilliano:
Alright, but, is there a way to back up my apps/settings so I can restore them later?
[Droid X Android Development] GoldenCyn:
success! it worked!
[Droid X Android Development] Explodee:
I am also getting the 'assert failed: Apply_patch_check(".sytem/app/BlurAlarmClock.apk", (****load of hexadecimal numbers)

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

I really don't want to SBF the phone and lose EVERYTHING. Any other suggestions? Also this is a rooted version of 2.2 right?
[Droid X Android Development] SkyHawkEcks:
Will this work if I have a modified drag down background? (I have the little Android in my drag down notification bar background)

Also, for the instuctions,

Am I correct in that I can just go into Better Terminal and just type:

adb shell

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/system /system

mv /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] qtipextra:
I just upgraded to the newest Energy ROM (Listed in my sig). In trying to setup my mail again, I cannot find out where I select the folders that will be synced.

I had it setup previously, but since I upgraded ROMs, I cannot find this option anywhere.

I want to be able to sync my other folders, not just the inbox, for my hotmail account.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Shaun
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] AthenaLod:
open the hotmail inbox, select menu - tools - manage folders, and select the folders you want to sync. good luck
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] qtipextra:
Thanks! It wasnt there before, but while I was at work I installed the latest version on Windows Live, and thats what put this function back? Haha thanks though, I got it working.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tamanaco:
Is there an Android browser with an option to emulate Internet Explorer or a plugin (hack) that I can use so that An Android browser emulates IE or even Firefox? This is a requirement for most all of the online banking sites I use. I tried the "Desktop" user agent in Dolphin, but it didn't work. .
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zecoj:
The default browser I'm using on CM6rc3 has the option to change user-agent string to IE6, among others.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tamanaco:
Pardon my ignorance, but what is CM6rc3? I should have clarified and said that I'm using an AT&T Samsung Captivate with stock firmware (rooted), the default browser and the Dolphin browser installed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] minus30:
There is a port somewhere of the Nexus 2.2 browser to other phones. This browser can set the useragent to IE6.

This is the link for the Samsung Spica (MDPI screen) Hope it helps!

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] texanaustinite:
Bought one of these from REI for days at the pool or lake. http://www.rei.com/product/783615

Works as promised, just have to squeeze the DInc in naked (no case).

Anyway, the caution part... Summer! Summer in Texas is, well, Hot.

Went boating today in Lake Austin and took along the DInc in the waterproof case. Temps today reached 102!

DInc was in storage compartment. About two hours after launch, I took it out to check the weather. The DInc felt warm so I checked the temp... 115!

Opened the case and let it breathe. Took a while but it came down to 105.

Daughter played a game then left it in the sun in the case. After a few minutes, phone temp was 125!

Promptly opened case and placed carefully in cooler. 10 minutes later, back down to 99.

Like the water protection, but not the temp rise. Thinking of taking the case back.

Would I have seen these temps without the case?

Oops.... Wrong section. Mods, please move.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] metalmenance:
Generally with these types cases you are not using the phone as normal

so best turning the phone off while in it, waterproof is good for boating etc

but phone cant breathe, like any electronics they still need air to cool them
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] yojoe600:
remember it has a processor so its got to breathe to cool down
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dawynkoop:
You could just let it sit in the water, that'd keep it cool, it is in a waterproof case after all :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryant_16:
Can I check with you guys the mail application in htc desire whether the push is faulty in terms that the pushing of mails is rather slow.

I have already set the off peak and on peak to push already.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thongster27:
You might want to check on your settings again. Did you set how often to downlaod the mails?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryant_16:
Where to find this 'how often to download the mails'?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryant_16:
Anyone can help out on this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
I always get notifications of email, open the app and just have enough time to watch the mail vanish before my eyes.

I blame my isp.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr1960:
go into the mailbox

press menu

select more

select settings

3rd option down - Send & Receive has the options
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryant_16:
YeaH.. I set it to push already.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljesh:
Are you using (configured your email) Exchange, right?

Just wanted to confirm.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryant_16:
Yup I'm using exchange for this purposes. Speaking of which, does that means that I can't configure yahoo mail into htc desire too?
[HD2 General] BLiizz:
hey i was wondering if anyone can tell me whats the best ,nice,fast and stable rom for my phone. also that everything is works on like if it was a stock rom. thanks.
[HD2 General] donkeypunch85:
Just try a cople out. Its really all personal choice. Whatever ROMs are on the first page when you go into the ROM section are probably your best bet, being that they are the most popular, or new. Flashing only takes a few minutes and they are safe as long as you choose the right Radio for your phone, you are ok. Try a few out, see what you like.
[HD2 General] dmgov:
I kind of had the same question, but I have flashed my phone over 50 time sin a couple months trying to find the happy place.. so far all the roms have good points and better points. :) greatful to all the chefs!
[HD2 General] gaarry:
This ROM is basically the Stock ROM but better.

[HD2 General] gaarry:
No, you're just a dumbass. Asking people to help you, and then in the end, after an incredibly long tut, you just drop it. Learn how to read stickies and tutorials and do it yourself. Be self sufficient and stop being retarded to people who have better things to do than hold your hand while you're being stupid. k.

You must have some serious patience, my friend.

Back on topic...

Hey Blizz, what does this have to do with ROM development? Try posting questions like this in the General forum.

I use Energy CHT and it works well and looks great.
[Vibrant General] Spokenblurb:
1. Get a playstation 2 or dreamcast emulator ( can vibrant handle?)

2. Get a game that truly shows off graphic capabilities?

3. Become a viable gaming platform so we can stop getting the shaft in terms quality?
[Vibrant General] ConceptVBS:
You bet. With the rate of adoption of the Android platform, its only a matter of time before game developers start realizing the potential $$$ benefit to them.
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
I hope so. I love android compared to using iOS but when I compare the appstores I am left with a bad taste in my mouth.
[Vibrant General] nbs11:
to answer 1: gameloft has some and its only a matter of time.

to answer 2: No. Well sort of. It will happen, just not anytime soon. The only reason the devs of the PSX and NES etc. apps are not sued out of existence by the hardware manufacturers is that they are now legally out of patent. The devs can get away with it because they don't actually offer any of the still patented games, so you could be running your own games on the emulator (similar to the Limewire and torrent justifications). The PS2's hardware is still under patent and thus can not be copied without legal action. The games are also current enough that the manufacturers might actually bother with legal action.

What is more likely is an official PSP app from Samsung that allows PSP games on android phones (which would be awesome)

EDIT: I have checked the specs on the playstation and it is easily possible, abeit illegal to make the emulator, although everything would appear really small. In fact the Galaxy S could outperform the PS2 any day.

PS2: 299 MHz 64 bit processor

Galaxy S: 1GHz processor

MODS PLEASE DELETE, MY ARTICLE WAS FIRST, BUT BIGNADAD CREATED A BETTER THREAD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rumessingwitme:
I have a Q, Im running the CM RC-2 and Wireless Tether isnt working, but if i go into setting->Wireless & Network Setting, on the bottom it says Tethering and Portable Hotspot.

If i Connect via USB and activate it, WILL I GET CHARGED thru Sprint ? Or is like using Wireless Tether program other then its being connected thru USB and not a Wifi Hotspot/Router.

I personally have UNLIMITED DATA for my Evo, I have the Everything Plus Family Plan which has Unlimited Data.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidlightle:
If you don't have the $30 hotspot, the native tethering will usually fail.

If you don't have the $30 hotspot and want to tether anyway (usually "free" in that Sprint doesn't do anything about it at this point in time), and if you are rooted, you can use Wired Tether for Root Users or a few other apps, such as the ones for non-rooted users.

If you aren't rooted, your selection narrows to PDA Net, EasyTether, and a few other select choices, often where you're required to install software on the computer you're tethering to and these apps often range between $10-30 for the full version (allowing HTTPS), or free/cheaper for HTTP only.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rumessingwitme:
Thanks for the info but that does not really answer my Question. See pics below. If i check one of the boxes, Will i be charged anything ??? Its like a integrated Tether i guess ??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
CyanogenMod's tethering (via the Settings>Wireless networks) is 100% free unless Sprint decides to start doing some DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) on all cellular traffic, which is seriously unlikely given that the technology for that is extremely expensive, and Sprint needs to be focusing on rolling out more 4G towers rather than getting special hardware to watch what you're doing online.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rumessingwitme:
Does that apply to both USB Connected and Hotspot/Router ??

Thanks I appreciate Everyones help and quick answers
[Droid X General] sp1kez:
Im down to 50% after only 4 hours of some browsing and tapatalk.

Battery set to smart mode

Do i have a problem or is this normal?
[Droid X General] sp1kez:
30% after 5:45
[Droid X General] Mikerrrrrrrr:
Do you have GPS and Bluetooth on? How about your social network sync times?
[Droid X General] sp1kez:
7 hours and down to 10%!!!

All my apps are set to manual sync and everythings turned off

Just been browsing and tapatalk wtf
[Droid X General] tsanuri:
You have some kind of problem this is not normal. Today was a very light day for me on use but still after over 14 hours at 60%. And that included over 1 hour of calls.
[Droid X General] michael_bolton:
Toggle airplane mode for a few seconds and plug in briefly. Check the battery manager after a few minutes and see what cell standby is at. It should be less than 10%

You should be getting around 24 hours of normal use out of the battery
[Droid X General] microdot:
Wow, what settings are yours on to get 24 hrs? Is it best to have it on smart mode or battery saver mode. I thought it would be battery saver mode and that what i have mine set on.

Also, does anyone know if beautiful widgets drain the battery? It was a complain on one of the comments on the market but i dont know if an update fixed it.
[Droid X General] evilkal:
6 hours and im down to 75%... Just tapatalk a little youtube and some surfing.
