[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Eloquence:
Thanks so much for this!! For some reason - G4 TV does NOT show up in the marketplace for download on this leaked 2.2 Froyo for Droid X.

Had to side load ;)

Thanks again!

-Elo
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Izzy80:
Hey I have a droid x with the leaked froyo too. But ut wont let me download that file. What is side load and could you please tell me how to get it to work on mine?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] FateZero:
Download file from this post

Copy to SD

Install Astro File Manage (or OI File Manager)

Open app manager Navigate to file and long press

It will say browse or open file manager

select file manager

Install (If you don't have phone set to install 3rd party apps it will prompt you to allow this)

Enjoy the App

Why do I get an error pop-up telling me the video cannot be played when the video is played behind the pop-up? Any way to fix this?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] LePeR1898:
Would anyone be able to upload the latest version 1.3.20???
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] DrJohnnyFever:
I would really like the updated version as well... Thanks to anyone that can help out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeynuggetz:
Ok... I'm one of the idiots that updated to froyo thinking that I would be happy with it and not miss having root. I was wrong. Fat chance that froyo will ever be rooted so maybe its time to buy a phone from someone that hasn't applied the ota. Has anyone been keeping up with the latest developments? Is there a chance that someone will manage to root froyo? I think I know three answer. I had no choice at the time. Phone was rebooting everytime I got a call while already on another call and I couldn't afford to have that happen as I was out of town on business.

no it hasnt been rooted yet
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clocker6633:
Lol. I'm glad a nice and relaxed person got in before the xda mercenaries started screaming for blood.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealmethod:
Be patient...they are working on getting it rooted. You can check the updates in the sticky up on top.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealmethod:
Lol...i had the same thought.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nismo-b15:
dude relax lol...... trust me froyo will deff be rooted soon..... nothing is impossible trust me.... its a tough task but these devs are insane
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeynuggetz:
Well sometimes I wonder... If all the noobs installed the ota then why would the leet devs bail them out? Wouldn't it just be easier to keep developing onto whats already been cracked? Thanks for not jumping on me :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fua1:
Well, what about the people that bought their EVOs with 2.2 already.

I would be a super sad panda if I was stuck with an unrooted/unrootable phone.

On the other hand, almost every EVO forum out there has a sticky of this sort: "2.2 NOT ROOTED YET!!!!"

[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
I want to see a phone with 2 4.3" screens. One on the front and one on the back. One side runs android the other side runs wp7. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] jimecm:
lookin good, nice work
[Windows Phone 7 General] narathip:
Wow, this is really nice! No flash though? :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] IM0001:
Looks like your missing the flash for the camera but otherwise nifty stuff. Too many concepts though, not enough hard models out yet. :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] dalethefarmer:
HTC should take the idea of a smaller camera from your concept, the camera on the iphones 3gs and 4 are the best of any mobile and they're not huge. I have the evo and this huge red ring popping out doesn't mean anything in quality of the photo...
[Droid 2 General] shoman24v:
Look at the photo, seriously why is it like this?
[Droid 2 General] th3drow:
i think thats normal, mine does that too and afaik the old droid did the same thing.
[Droid 2 General] goliathvt:
I found I was able to about double my battery life by setting my brightness manually to about 10%. I've found this to be plenty of illumination in just about any situation unless I'm trying to view my phone outside.

A nice brightness widget I've found is called "Brightness Level."
[Droid 2 General] jcsugrue:
Could it just be a case of "new gadget syndrome" ? The D2 is my sixth Android phone, and they all seem to suffer from this "bug" when I first get them.
[Droid 2 General] GSletta:
I completely agree with this when i first got my phone it would die fairly quickly but just because I wouldn't ever put it down.
[Droid 2 General] jerseyh22accord:
haha yeah cause you have to set everything up and download all your apps and such so its a huge battery drain there.

but back to the OT of course the screen/display uses the most amount of power on your phone and what you are seeing there is normal.

your battery life seems pretty good if after 7 hours you still have over 1/2 your battery
[Droid 2 General] orateam:
I gotta say, i couldn't disagree more.

Look at my signature, i've had quite a few Androids and so far they've all been horrible. But even though i'm gonna get the fascinate, I don't think i'll beat the battery life on the droid2. I've been VERY impressed with this phone's battery life. All of the Android phones i've had were lucky to get 18-24 hours of battery life with moderate use. The galaxy S's did better than the EVO, but the droid 2 has been the winner in this department.

On the EVO, i typically got 10-16 hours

On the GAlaxy S's, i was gettin 18-28 hours

On the Droid2 i've been getting 33-55 hours

All have the same 1400mh battery and i use them all the same way.

My phone is currently on 50 hours without plugging it in. (i have an app for that) and it was only at 90% when i unplugged it.
[Droid 2 General] jerseyh22accord:
well there was that test done a couple of weeks ago that found the DroidX and Droid2 to be above the normal
[Droid 2 General] smashpunks:
Sgs has a 1500 mah
[Droid 2 General] eddysamson:
Display is always the biggest energy user by far on my Droid 2 and I have the brightness turned down to about 5% and I am no longer using a live wallpaper...I can't think of what else it could be?
[Droid 2 General] orateam:
I guess after having the evo, I've grown used to conserving battery. Here is what I do. Not use live wallpaper, turn on things like wifi and bluetooth when not using them. And use a task manager to kill everything when turning it off.
[Droid 2 General] Big Dawg 23:
My Droid 1 and now Droid X always have 50% or more of there battery tied to display. My Droid X is typically much higher than 50% as matter of fact mine is 72%. With most typically batter drains turned off I got 20 hours or so on my Droid X. That is because I listen to music and FM radio 2 hours a day.
[Droid 2 General] jerseyh22accord:
i just checked mine and its at 18%
[Droid 2 General] danwanna:
It is also a sign that you don't have any other apps that are eating a lot of battery. My D1 and now my D2 both look like that.

The only time my D1 was different was when I:

a) Installed an app that was poorly written and consumed a lot of battery life.

b) Spent most of the day with the screen off but music playing (MP3 or Pandora)

c) Had a horrible signal so the Radio took up a much larger percentage than normal looking for a signal
[Droid 2 General] blustosa:
I just leave my display settings low and then use the Power Control widget to spike up the brightness if needed be.
[Droid 2 General] malvoc:
how did you get such good battery life on your droid 2? please share your secrets.
[Droid 2 General] goliathvt:
I get somewhere between 30-40 hours of battery life and that's with running Pandora or listening to a podcast for at least 45 mins over 3G every work day (I walk during lunch for exercise).

- I'm rooted.

- I've set my backlight to 10%.

- I've renamed the following apps (adding .bak) so they never run:

AdService.apk.bak

amazonmp3_1.8.11_signed_zipaligned.apk.bak

Blockbuster.apk.bak

CityID.apk.bak

DLNA.apk.bak

DlnaSystemService.apk.bak

FriendFeed.apk.bak

HomeSyncWizard.apk.bak

Mynet.apk.bak

- I set weather to update only every 6 hours.

- I check Twitter and Facebook every now and then but I have them set to only update when they run.

- I don't run any widgets that constantly update (like twitter, weather, etc.)

- I download RSS feeds and podcasts whenever I'm charging the phone (though I usually have more than enough battery to handle a daily feed update and download over 3G without any problem)

- I manually enable and disable GPS and WiFi since they have a tendency to look for signals for no reason. It only takes a second or two to connect to known hotspots or get my location so it's no biggie to me to do that by hand.

- I back up my data at 2am or so daily so there's a good chance that every other backup is done while charging.
[Droid 2 General] eddysamson:
Just barely rooted my Droid 2. I dont really have much of an idea of what to do with it now, though. How do I go about renaming those apps? I've always wanted to get rid of that crap.
[Droid 2 General] goliathvt:
Snag Root Explorer or some other root-permission-enabled file explorer from the market for a few bucks or use adb if you're familiar with it and want a free way to manipulate files on the /system partition.

I'll assume you go with an app like Root Explorer (well worth it, in my mind).

Open Root Explorer and hop into the /system/app directory. Click the "Mount R/W" button so that the /system partition is writable.

Find any .apks you do not want and long-press on the file until you get a menu. Choose "Rename" and either rename the .apk to .bak or just add .bak to the filename. As long as the file extension no longer reads ".apk", it won't be a program the phone can launch.

Note: Be careful about renaming some of the Blur .apks, as a few still seem to be required for normal phone function. Check other threads on "removing bloat" for some tips and more detailed warnings.

I also highly recommend renaming files instead of deleting them because it provides some options if something ever goes awry or you simply want to re-enable something you removed during the rename process. The multitude of "Oops I deleted somethingImportant.apk! Anyone have it?" threads offer their own words of caution, I'd say. :)

Good luck!
[Droid 2 General] JDunc:
Is renaming better than freezing?
[Droid 2 General] Hashbaz:
You want your screen to be using more of your battery than anything else. Keep in mind that 52% is out of all the things drawing power. This means your phone is running very efficiently because all your programs are eating very little battery.

The screen is using 52% of all usage because its the heaviest battery user only by comparison.
[Droid 2 General] skipwagner:
Where do you go to put the .bak in those apps?
[Droid 2 General] djide:
Instead of all this for a "noob"...

install Titanium from the market (free) and "Freeze" and app you don't need or want.

Thats all. Also there is an app called "DroidWall" that acts as a firewall and blocks traffic of apps. Its still in beta but it is worth a look.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonloki:
First off, I will admit that I am relatively new to rooting android phones. I did have multiple Jailbroken iPhones, however that is something different entirely.

So I just recently flashed Eugene's Vibrant5 rom, and I absolutely love it... however I do miss some of the stock applications that come with the Vibrant. I was wondering if anyone happened to have the .apks for the original applications? I have a Titanium Backup from before the flash, and it shows the applications in the list... however when I try and Restore Missing Applications + System Data it doesn't do anything. There isn't a whole lot I miss, things like Thinkfree Office. I know there is Adobe Reader for free in the Market, but I did try it and it didn't work for me. Not being able to search through a .pdf file was an EPIC fail for me.

Any help would be appreciated
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzero88:
I also think having a thread with all of the stock .apk's listed for download would be a great idea. I am also rooted, and if someone could tell me how to get these off of my phone in .apk format, I won't mind uploading any of them, if not all, of course over time :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blu3scr33n:
are they located in /system/app/ folder?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonloki:
I'm already on Vibrant5 rom, I can verify that there are a lot of .apk files in there, I can't say whether or not ALL the stock ones are there though. Is there a relatively decent demand for these to be posted? If so I don't mind reverting back to stock and pulling them all off for everyone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p()()pypants:
Bump on this one, been really wanting the stock calender and the calculator .apk cause they both just have more features then those that are on eugenes roms ( google map points saved to calender appointments, much more complex calculations avail on the calc besides both just look better imo).....

A bunch of these apps can't even be backed up through titanium, it unity copies data fort some reason or another. Apks of these would be awesome or at the least some files and the required terminal commands would be appreciated.

Pooped from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA app...

Dont mind the skidmarks...

Here is what happens when long pressing on a link in the browser in order to see the URL:

The text is so ridiculously huge that it cuts off 90% of the useful part, even when viewed in landscape.

Is there any way to hack/modify the browser so that more of the URL is visible when long-pressing on a link? (Smaller font, and/or additional rows)

I've never understood this that all Twitter apps have to refresh and essentially waste battery.
[Android Apps and Games] jasonjoo:
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/05/android-cloud-to-device-messaging.html

I think this is Android's version of push notifications? It's Froyo only, which explains why no apps have it.
[Android Apps and Games] bcpk:
Something like that would be extremely resource intensive to serve in real time, I imagine. Google might have the hardware for it, but Twitter can barely keep their website up, let alone sending out pings to millions of devices.
[Android Apps and Games] jasonjoo:
Don't iPhone Twitter apps have push notifications?
[Android Apps and Games] m2thedeep:
I know the Blackberry has push notifications for Twitter so I'm sure the iPhone does.
[Android Apps and Games] antintyty:
try tweetdeck....it has push notifications....

.tweetdeck.com/api/android_whitelist
[Android Apps and Games] Bobb_o:
That must be why it doesn't have an option for refresh time?
[Android Apps and Games] bcpk:
Except it does?
[Android Apps and Games] Zepiii:
Right ! I also tried TweetDeck, and tbh, it's really nice for a beta :)
[Android Apps and Games] bcpk:
The default update time for TweetDeck is 3 minutes so I can see why it would seem like push.
[Android Apps and Games] mingoid:
There is currently no real "push" in the twitter api which is why all of the apps do polling. Twitter are trying something new (see: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/user_streams) but no apps use it yet. I imagine with Blackberry they must be polling on their backend then pushing to your phone.

Recovery issue

About the recovery issue

(This is only on SOME systems!)

:

In /system/recovery.img there is a full copy of everything that is loaded on the recovery partition. This file is automatically flashed onto the recovery partition every time you shut down. That means two things: 1. Any changes you make directly to the recovery partition gets blown away on reboot and 2. If you want to change the recovery partition you're probably better off just sticking the image in /system/recovery.img and rebooting.

So to fix this problem you have to rename the custom recovery file to:

recovery.img

then make sure it's on /system/recovery.img.

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv /sdcard/recovery.img /system/recovery.img

This will make sure that you have the custom recovery on every boot.

OR

you could delete the file located on: /system/etc/install-recovery.sh which is responsible for flashing the stock image

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Others who don't have this problem, please ignore the above :0)

NB: Some of the info is borrowed from.

Well, everything worked untill i got to step 10.

I have a MyTouch 3G. v1.2 with headphone jack.

HBOOT- 1.33.001

Radio 2.22.23.02

I tried to execute

<verbatim>mv /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin/</verbatim>

then i got

<verbatim>failed on '/sdcard/flash_image' - Cross-device link</verbatim>

Any help?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Hanneskitz:
You are great! I searched for a step by step description for days!!

I will try it tommorrow with my HTC Magic 32a and tell you if it worked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Try

cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin

Make sure that your are working inside the shell and not on the cmd promt.

And are you sure that the flash_image is not there?

On both mine tests, the flash_image file was present!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
IT SHOULD/WOULD WORK...

I took mine perfectly working and rooted device and flashed both RUU updates...

The lastest one with sense and the one before that...

Applied the same steps and it worked like a charm...

What i like about this methode is:

No need for goldcard

No need for download and setup of sdk

No multiple links to follow, only 1 download

Works for all os

The download have all the tools and images you would need :0)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] eyegor:
Good job mumi :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Xenstier:

# cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin/

cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin/

cp: not found
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
OK...

1) are you sure that you are inside the system and not inside the recovery?

2) inside the shell type:

cd /system/bin

ls

post here all what you get on your screen... write it down or take a picture or something....

3) you can install buzybox and try step 9 again.

buzybox will install all common executables/commands for you.. like cp(copy), mv(move) and which(looks up if a command like cp is found or not).

now i have an issue on girlfriend's magic 32b, it seems that i cant have acces anymore to the recovery partition.

the only solution i've found is to flash a original htc rom wich has 1.33.0007. my magic has still the non perfect spl 1.33.0004.

so mine is only a question, if for you was a stupid question, i'm sorry
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Try it... it should work..

The app uses a special exploit to give you root...

If you want root then only do the blue steps (1-4).

if you want more continue with the guide :0)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Done..

I changed the guide..

You should have no problems now :0)

If you do, i have changed the link/roottools to include busybox...

I can make changes again to the guide if you have no luck with the new guide...

NB: i have only changed a small part... YOU in particular only need to read step 9(old step 10) again... just a trick to avoid using cp or mv...

we push the file directly to /system/bin hihihihi.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:

Doh can you host the RootTools somewhere else? RapidShare doesn't like me and says I've reached the max amount of download. Dunno.

Also. My phone is already rooted and I have a perfect SPL ending in 0006. Do you think it would be OK for me just to do Step 6? Or maybe I should just follow another guide?

Also, why do some guides for fixing perfect SPLs say you have to have a goldcard and then others don't?

Thanks!
