[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boety:
Hello guys,

I probably did a stupid thing. I could'nt install an apk and figured that I could just push it to my android and see what happens. I didn;t think I would get in a bootloop though :(.

I had astrid.apk, it's modified so it is transparant. I could not install it in Android.

What i did:

Reboot in recovery

Did the fake flash to start Clockwork mod

Connect the Android to my pc with an USB cable

adb push astrid.apk /data/app

I read that about 1.2MB was written so I guess that went right.

Did I forget a / ?

Is the map app overwritten?

Well, next thing I did was a reboot and now I'm stuck in a bootloop.

I tried to delete the file (rm /data/app/astrid.apk, rm -r /data/app/astrid.apk). But it could not find file or directory.

I did this from the shell i starten with adb shell. And I tried it with adb shell rm ...

Did I screw up that /data/app map? What to do now?

edit:

I can do cd data. But when I do cd app (when in /data) then it says "you can't cd to app"...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djind:
it's adb shell, and while you are in there, press cd /data/app. while in the data folder, press 'ls' to list all entries. usually apk's have different names and stuff. look for the app and then press rm /data/app/... .apk

Make sure you are in recovery and have system mounted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boety:
"can't cd to /data/app" :(

img824.imageshack <remove> .us/img824/5049/shellz.jpg

edit:

I think I have overwritten the whole app map with the file astrid.apk, d*mn.

"adb push astrid.apk /data/app"
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djind:
I would say, just wipe and start over..

This is how I usually do the stuff:

adb remount

adb shell

cd /data/app

ls

look for app to remove

rm ....apk

I am no pro, wipe is easy!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boety:
I made a complete nandroid backup this afternoon, I just did a partial restore, "data" and everything works fine again!

Thanks for helping. Lesson learned:

Linux != Windows (a whole map is easily overwritten with a file).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djind:
I doubt that you have overwritten a folder with a file. But good that everything is ok now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boety:
I did a cat /data/app and i saw a lot of strange things, also strings and it was clear i saw the contents of astrid.apk. SO I really think I did.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreading:
First, before anyone flames me for being a lazy ingrate, I want to say I recognize that people put in alot of hard work to get 2.2 rooted, to get the instructions posted and to answer the many questions thrown their direction. And I realize these were all done without any promise of a specific reward or compensation. I am very grateful for that, and join everyone else in a big THANK YOU!

The problem is that I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. My old Diamond could testify to my failed attempts to cook my own ROM (even using a fairly straightforward kitchen). So, I'm worried I'm gonna brick it if I try it.

So, I have two questions:

(1) Is there anything about the 2.2 root that would prevent someone developing a program like the one-click program for 2.1? If not,

(2) Is someone working on it?

I'm not in any hurry to do it, just would like to know if it's something to patiently wait for or if I need to consider taking the risk.

Thanks.

I have tried LED Flash, Moment Flash, Falaxy Flash, and more from the market than I can count or remember and so far none work.

**Edit**

List of apps that work

WINNER: Tiny flashight + LED

The best option IMO

This is the real deal here. Works perfect and adds some other neat features. Thanks doink123 for developing this great app and for making it free for all of us,

The only single, tiny little complaint (or rather, suggestion) is a widget to toggle the LED on/off, but other than that, amazing.

Runner Up 1) Power Control Plus - $1.99 In The Market)

It works as a widget to toggle the LED on and off. And it works great, only down side is it is $1.99. For me, I use the flashlight on a daily basis so it is worth it for me until a free alternative is found or developed. it does have a lot of other great feaures to but you can read those in the market.

Runner Up 2) Instant Heart Read - Free In The Market

An app to check your hearbeat, but instantly turns the LED on so it works as a flashlight app. Kind of a cool app anyways, I am leaving this on my phone just for fun.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydralisk:
Dunno about the Epic... hard to say. But on my EVO I use "LED Desire light" which gets very bright when turned up all the way (probably because the EVO has 2 LEDs). And it has a widget.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eazail70x7:
Hopefully they make a compatible app/widget for the Epic flash soon. EpicFlash would be a nice sequal to MomentFlash (love this)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris5h:
Well I found an app that works... sort of.

It is called Flashligh LED

The app itself is very basic. It does not turn the light on/off like a toggle. Rather, there is a timer and when you hit the button, it turns on the light for X amount of time.

Now, the app will turn on the light, but only for about 1 second or so, no matter what you change the time setting to.

Still not what I am looking for, but getting closed. Woot!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeonMonster:
Nexus One Torch was my favorite on my Nexus! The widget matched perfectly with the Galaxy TW theme!

I surprisingly use the flashlight ALOT.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raiderep:
This is a very good sign. I'm sure trrobert(might be a bit off on the spelling) who did momentflash could peek at this to adopt what does work and get his working for us.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] journeyman73:
I'm using Power Control Plus from the Market & when you add flashlight as one of your buttons it works! It turns on & off the light with no problems. It is a slight delay when turning the light on.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hugo87:
^Awsome tried it and it worked. Thanks!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travo:
I can confirm it Power control plus works, such an elegant solution, better than some cheesy flash light picture taking up the whole screen.

Thanks journeyman73!

Just so you can fix it OP, its Power Control Plus is $1.99.

Instant heart rate automatically turns on the flash, so thats one way to do it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lilinka:

Hi guys,

I've just released Tiny Flashlight + LED v2.2. I tried to make it work on Epic 4G by guessing the right parameters (because I don't have an Epic 4G device).

Can you check it and tell me if it works?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXSecretAgentXx:
Sorry great app but led did not light up :(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris5h:
Confirmed, Tiny Flashlight does not light up the LED on my epic.

I reorganised the first post with the new apps that have been found to work.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doink123:
When you tap on the light sources button (the white button in the upper right corner), how many items do you see? 4 or 5?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEinspanjer:
Four sources, LED is not one of them.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doink123:
OK, I've released v2.2.1. Can you check it?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEinspanjer:
My goodness that thing is bright...

So LED shows up now, and clicking the power turns it on, w00t!

There is a little red label above the power button that always says 0%, what controls that?

Also, the power button doesn't turn the light off, but exiting the app does so this is much better than what we had before!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walord:
A little slow to turn on but it does. It won't turn off for me until I switch modes (to the lightbulb for example)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doink123:
OK, new version! I've just uploaded v2.2.3. Does it stop now?

The red label is a battery indicator.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonsf:
Latest version works great! Turns on and off correctly. Has a slight delay when turning light on but it isn't really a problem. Thanks for taking the time to add this new device!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doink123:
VICTORY! :)

I'll try to find a workaround for the delay. Worst case scenario: you'll have to wait for Android 2.2

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris5h:
Tiny flashight + LED is amazing. Thanks so much doink the app is great. As others though have asked, is there any chance you could release a version with a widget to toggle the LED off/on?

I'd pay for a version that had one or both of the following features:

1) Default light source and state (on/off) when launched.

2) Configurable widget to toggle state of the led/other light source.

is there a widget for TeslaLED?

EDIT: I spoke too soon.. haha I had it installed already I just never checked to see. It does have a widget that works really well, with nice options.

Question about the strobe feature - Is this also supposed to be supported on the Epic, or do we need dual LED like the EVO?

- just so you know, it seems to not be working with any strobe setting... it just stays on constantly..

- also - the morse code doesn't work with the light, again it just stays on constantly.. maybe you are assuming there is two LEDs or something?

Thanks for the great app!

[Vibrant General] boystuff:
on the note of Micro SD i had a hell of a time getting my 16GB micros SD to work in my Vibrant I had it formatted for my I900 Omnia (WM 6.5) and everytime i tried getting it to format/read in my Vibrant I kept getting a SD card corrupt/Damaged Notification. My GF has a Blackberry Curve and somehow formatting the card in her Blackberry got it to work in my Vibrant lol.

All your music will work on your vibrant however. the phone comes with a micro Usb wall/usb 2.0 cord. plug it into your comp pull the dropdown on the phone down click "mount" and Viola windows will show both the phones internal and external storage as drives so you can drag and drop.

as for Movies legally it's the same as music you have to own an original copy of the product at home, and the movies/songs must be for personal use only.

Telenav as a GPS program seems really subpar compared to the navi program I had on my Nokia N95 I just do use Google Maps with 3G connection it's accurate enough to help you navigate most places.

MobiTV personally i think it's garbage theres to many streaming sites online that i can watch individual movies and/or series for free. Not to mention huge battery drain for streaming that much data on the go. If however you go that route consider Buying a Spare battery for those times when you have no charger available.

I know i'm slightly backward on answering questions here but the learning curve for this phone is so easy it's not even funny. theres far more to these phones then there is to Windows Mobile 6.1/6.5 but they are so much more user friendly. everything is literally right there at your finger tips. Almost everything is self explanatory straight out of the box.

easiest way to explain "Rooting" is think windows on your Comp you have an administrator account right? that account can literally do anything it wants. where is a normal user only has limited privileges. Rooting your phone gives you "administrative privileges" thus the ability to edit and play with things a standard user doesn't have access to. n the Note of Rooting, do so at your own risk. And make sure you have researched rooting and the benefits of it prior to doing so to make sure that it is for you. i did it strictly for theming and customization.
[Vibrant General] returnofsid:
As for movies, they would be movies that I own, on DVD. I just have no idea how to get them from DVD, to the Vibrant...lol.

Would it be possible to get some links to Streaming movie sites that would work well, on the Vibrant?

Also, what, if any, browser should I install on the Vibrant?
[Vibrant General] MasterColdSoul:
You simply need to take those DVD's and put them in your computer and turn them into a format the phone can watch (the Vibrant can watch most common types so that shouldn't be a issue).

http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-cd-dvd-burning-software.htm

edit: then just copy it to your phone
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
Not much, besides the touch screen typing but swype is awesome and I personally would never buy a keyboard phone anymore.

"Rooting" is like jailbreaking for the iPhone. It gives you more control over your device.

These are all the formats the Vibrant can play

Video codecs

* mpeg4

* H.264

* H.263

* Sorenson codec

* DivX HD/ XviD

* VC-1

Video formats

* 3GP (MPEG-4)

* WMV (Advanced Systems Format)

* AVI (divx)

* MKV

* FLV

Audio

* FLAC

* WAV

* Vorbis

* MP3

* AAC

* AAC+

* eAAC+

* WMA

* AMR-NB

* AMR-WB

* MID

* AC3

* XMF

If you own a movie all you have to do is convert it one of the many formats this phone can play. *See above*

I never used telenav, I see it a complete waste of money when I DO USE Google Nav and it works great for me. Although the phones GPS is wonky Samsung stated that they will fix it coming september so it should improve.

My GPS is mediocre.

I didnt use the mobiTV service as I don't care for live TV when I have the internet so I cannot comment on that I didnt use the service.

I suggest you look through this site http://www.appbrain.com/

There are hundreds of great apps you can use and download play with etc...

EDIT: THOUSANDS of apps!

Nothing. When the update rolls around it will most likely be a message on the phone asking you to update the software. There will be nothing that will get in the way of the update.

Enjoy your new phone. :D Hope this helped. If you have anymore questions don't be shy to ask.

Download the module package, from the autobuild page.

unzip the file and get the wifi module (bcm4329.ko), and tun.ko if you use VPN.

be sure to, get the exact same model of modules as the kernel (check the datestamp on the filename), if not, they will not load and fail miserably :(

hope it helps m8.

Android is linux, if you are comfortable with the later, then you know what you're doing ;)
