I guess I'll be the jerk today :D

Welcome to XDA! Let me also help you more by telling you that using "Search" here in these forums, or even just reading the bolded titles of threads, will get you the answers to a lot of your questions. Some posts are "stickied" at the top of each forum for a reason...it means they are important and have lots of useful information in them. Had you done just a little bit of reading and searching, you would have easily found the "good instructions" you have requested without having to create a whole new thread. Also know that questions like this should go in the "Q&A" forum.

The link in the post above is good for rooting. And here's Android 2.2, with instructions in the FIRST post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755795

Good luck.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rejectedkid:
Your absolutely right. You were a jerk. Do you own these forums? If you don't want to help a newbie out don't read his her post. Too many children trolling these forums. People need to grow up. These forums are about helping one another.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Yes, point taken, I could and should have been a bit gentler in that previous post. I was merely pointing out that any newbies already have all the help they need in this forum -- that's what Search is for, and why the titles of most threads are so specific and detailed. The answers are out there. :) So I do apologize for the perceived harshness that was unnecessary on my part. You also didn't see that I did indeed help this user over several PMs after I posted that earlier, but that still doesn't justify my lack of gentleness.

Awful metaphor, but it fits pretty well: "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish, feed him for a lifetime." Yes I know that was terrible :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damiandarkwater:
Even worse: " Build a man a fire, keep him warm for a day, set the man on fire, keep him warm for the rest of his life."

I think your first post was gentle enough.

As for the topic at hand. Try just rooting and removing the bloatware and using a decent task manager or auto killer. I think the jump to aosp should be somethinng for later.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] harryjan:
Hi, Ive only recently found the wonders of the cooked Rom and for the most part I have been hugely impressed with the speed and features of many a great build.

However I seem to be experiencing a problem with my Hero's camera with whatever build I use whether it is Cronos's or Froydvillian. Every now and again when I open the camera application the phone forcibly reboots. This never happens the first time opening the app after booting up but always after ive been using the phone for a while and have opening up the app before.

Does anyone have any clue whats causing this? I got rather annoyed today when I missed out getting a pic of what I believe was an old spitfire being hauled through London on the back of a truck due to the phone rebooting!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_woe_is_me:
OK background info: I am running Skyraider 2.5.2 with the Hydra Kernel #2 and 2.15 radio. That said, my phone was working fine this morning and all day really until I did this:

I hooked up my phone to my XBOX 360 so I could listen to some music on my home theater. The xbox was NOT detecting the portable drive, so I double checked it was set to 'disk drive' and I even turned of USB debugging in case that was an issue. Then my phone fades to black and suddenly I'm staring at the Unrevoked splash image. No problem, I figured. Wrong!

When it booted back up I slid over the lock screen button and the phone starts loading programs (ones that I dont normally see in the notification bar ie: startup manager) Then I'm hit with a barrage of Force Closes. Like a dozen of them. Pandora, SWype, and my beautiful widgets clock and weather are not loading on the homescreen either. I look in the apps directory and my apps2SD program is gone, just gone. It was there when I woke up this morning I do know that much.

So what the hell is going on? Does it have something to do with me plugging it into the Xbox, and why is my apps to sd program gone? Is that why a lot of prgrams are all FC. Also, Pandora was definitely on internal storage and NOT on the SD card.

I hadn't made a Nand backup in a little bit, so I can't do that.

What is the easiest way to get back to normal?

Do I have to go back to bare stock? Or can I just wipe everything and run Titanium?

Please, any suggestions would be immensely appreciated. Like I said it seems like this all happened right out of the blue.

ALso, whenj I start Astro File manger, the user agreement comes up like I've never used the program before, then it FC's and when I re-open it, it does the same thing with the user agreement even though I just f***** used it!

Have you tried fixing permissions with Rom manager first?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_woe_is_me:
I can't open up anything!! ROM manager is suddenly NOT INSTALLED ON MY PHONE. This is bull-expletive!

...ok Market actually opened and allowed me to download ROM manager.. Now to see if I can open it.. NOPE!

Now the market is telling me i have 22 updates lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
i would do a hard reset and reinstall sky raider

AND NOT PLUG IT IN TO XBOX

-jd
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_woe_is_me:
hard reset= wipe/factory reset?

....anybody?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
Yup, factory reset and then you can use Titanium to get back to where you were the last time you backed up.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb02:
you seriously tried to connect your phone to xbox 360 through a usb port and set to disk drive...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_woe_is_me:
Yeah I didn't realize that would be a bad thing. Got just about everything back to normal now. Sorry for all the caps, but I was pissed. I hate having to redo all this crappy time after time. I'm sure ill be at it again when the ota rolls out this week.

So hooking up to xbox screws up Android phones? Who knew
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sryan2k1:
That's not a bad idea, I just tried it with mine, and it worked fine. The 360 can play media (Video, Audio) off any USB storage, which is exactly what the Incredible presents when set to disk mode.

Mine is stock though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_woe_is_me:
Yeah I'll try again when I get the stock froyo. Not today!

Anybody else try connecting to xbox while running skyraider?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
imma try this with cm6 ....i have nothing better to do then mess up my phone.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_woe_is_me:
Let us know and happy hunting
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamersipaq:
hey

just a guess, but it got messed up b/c you had apps2sd enabled. I bet if you try it w/o it enabled, it will work just fine!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_woe_is_me:
I believe that my problem was stemmed from a glitch in the apps2sd app. Someone else was using it and experienced the same problem.

Beware of that app.

ok so currently i want to try out a different rom. i have aiccucs right now, and i want to try out frankenrom. if i wipe and go to frankenrom, then decide i want to go back to aiccucs, can i just do a nandroid restore, or do i have to wipe again and reinstall aiccucs, then do a nandroid restore?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
heres what you want ti do:

make a nandroid backup of aiccucs.

do a full wipe

If you dont like franken rom and want to go back to aiccucs just nandroid restore

[Vibrant General] timekillerj:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think T-Mobile 3G works on the 1700Mhz band, which I do not see list on the Vibrant GT-I9000M page:

Compatible Cellphone Carrier

AT&T, Fido, Rogers, most North American cell providers

Quad Band Voice GSM:

850/900/1800/1900 MHz

Quad Band Data GSM/GPRS/EDGE/2G:

850/900/1800/1900 MHz

Tri Band Data 3G/HSDPA:

850/1900/2100 MHz

Soo...can you confirm this phone is compatible with T-Mobile 3G/HSDPA ?
[Vibrant General] AllGamer:
you'r right, the is no 1700 band
[Vibrant General] CatalystWon:
1700 is related to AWS. Tmobile (US) and Wind (Canada) use it.

Also note the T-mobile Vibrant has 4 keys (Menu/Home/Back/Quick Search) versus the international version which has 3 keys (Menu/Home/Back). Not sure what effect this could have on rooting.

The T-mobile version also lacks front camera and FM radio.
[Vibrant General] brodie7838:
I would absolutely go for this if the i9000 supported 1700Mhz for T-Mo... :(
[Vibrant General] Bowsa2511:

people are facing after spending so much amount on there phone they are dancing and telling about the good looks of the phone and up comming features

for the phone why they are not talking about the geniune problems which people are facing, They only want sales and make money out of it so people lets take the resolution that until these problems are being solved no body should buy this phone from now onwards because sony is fooling us.

Can anyone take a screenshot of the LauncherPro Plus Calendar widget?

I wouldn't use any of the other widgets except for the Calendar widget, which of course is the only widget that isn't pictured on launcherpro.com for some odd reason...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crachel:
You can see it in this screen shot from the "Post your Screen Shot" thread

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7699486&postcount=2817
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fubaya:
The main reason I got LP Plus was that you can resize all widgets. Since I got the pro version, I've found that nearly every widget I use is better after resizing.

This is the LPP calendar widget resized to be one row shorter, then the stock longer version. There are actually two sizes to choose from, the other is full screen 4x4, but I don't know why there are two sizes since you can resize them just the same.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jonnydopemsr:
I say BUY IT!!! its worth it and i love the launcher! i just wish it was open source so cyan could use it instead of AWD... nothing against it but i like LP Pro more...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SeEsAw12:
Features for calender: You can scroll up and down to different months

add events right on the widget

View events on the widgets.

Not to mention they look very nice.

And on LPPro the resizing of widgets is definitely a plus. The 4x3 Touiter widget looks very, very nice when made resized 4x4.

Great feature.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Flowsloader:
Agenda-screenshot

Am I correct in assuming there's a agenda-style view (listing upcoming events) for the LPP calendar widget? If so, is there a screenshot of that view floating around?

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
Thanks for the pictures.

Can you do an Agenda-style calendar widget? (ie showing the events rather than the month-view)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
yes, there is an agenda view for each event.

took this from the 'post your screen shots' thread as I'm too lazy to take a screen myself...

pressing the '+' buttons allows you to add an event and the other icon allows you to switch from month view to the event view.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SeEsAw12:
Excuse my insane 'Paint' Skillz.

and then click on the little "Calendar" icon while on agenda mode to switch back.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Flowsloader:
Thanks for the screenshots and videos everyone, it was just enough to push me over the edge :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
its well worth it when you take advantage of all the features and widgets.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SeEsAw12:
It really is, and please, pay for the app.

This dev has given the app EVERYTHING he has and has made it, imo, the best launcher available for any Android device. No only will you get the updates right away, including new upcoming widgets, but you'll be helping out a cool dude.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mustafam33:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aureliusmaximus:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RogerPodacter:
i bought this as well. the only downside i find is that there is an upper limit of stuff you can have on all your screens before the helicopter view simply fails to redraw at all. i've gotten around the 5/6 screens of icons and widgets, and no matter how i add things in a different way, that 7th screen crosses some invisible threshold and it cant display smoothly in pinch to zoom.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] scottricketts:
Well worth the $3 in my opinion. Has made running a non Sense ROM way more appealing to the point where I haven't flashed a Desire port in ages. CM6 Nightlies + LPPro is a great combo.

[Streak 5 Android Development] LGTP:
Has anybody with a UK/O2 Streak (21) been able to roll back from the stock 2.1 (installed successfully) update to stock 1.6?

I have searched xda and modaco for days and have tried everything but I always get stuck at the same spot.

I am able to flash stock recovery but when I use option 2 to apply update.pkg from my sd card, it gets stuck about 1/4 of the way and says "Software is up to date. System will reboot in 30 seconds." And then when it reboots, it's still at 2.1.

I have also tried using clockworkmod recovery (several versions), which only seems to work immediately after I flash it (sometimes clockwork menu won't show up and it reverts back to stock recovery - are they being flashed to different partitions or something?). Using clockwork, I tried to apply update.pkg and when that didn't work I tried update.zip. Both get stuck on black screen.

I have tried using ROM Manager too, but that never works. It says it will reboot into recovery but ends up just rebooting normally back into 2.1.

I tried stock and custom 1.6 ROMs with no success.

Is there a way to force the system to apply the update.pkg even if it thinks it is already up to date?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been pulling my hair out over this for days. Thanks in advance.

[Streak 5 Android Development] mba07:
stability

Sorry if i am incorrect about this.

As far as i can tell you want to stay with offical roms due to warranty.

I have heard that if you go back to 1.6 even though official, dell wont cover the warranty.

If you are not worried about try :-

The leaked 2.1 rom. I hear it is more stable than 02's 2.1 rom.

Or even go for stephen Hydes brilliant 2.2 roms.

Thats the HTC widget. That will only work on a Sense ROM and if you are using the Sense Launcher (no ADW or Launcher Pro ect). If you are running one it should be included.
