[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyzidek:
Im doing the power and down button..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyzidek:
What exact information do I put in terminal emulater? Whats the difference between a splash screen and boot screen. Splash not animated?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyzidek:
Well I did it the easier way. I bought the root explorer since astro wouldn't copy or paste. I just copied it to both media and customize folders.. it worked but they have the wrong boot screen. Its not the android pissing on the iPhone. Just says android with a light glare going left to right on the words.. anyone know anywhere else I could find this boot screen?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
There's a sticky in Themes and Apps that has a ton of mods in it. Should be able to find it there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyzidek:
That's where I got the animation. Also to no aveil I can't get it to work. I thought it wasnthe zip. File but I think its the right one. I have no boot screen at all. I took out the zips I put in media and customize and have the zip that was in there previously back in. Nothing.. not sure what to do. I even used that program that you just out the zip in and does it for you and that didn't work. I'm lost.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyzidek:
So I put the bootanimated.zip to data/local, system/media and system/customize and still nothing. Anybody?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psx2p:
So Sprint keeps shutting my phone off due to there errors with my account and im done with it, Im sick of calling them and asking whatsup. so if i were to switch to verizon can i take my EVO with me? or better yet what companies can i use the EVO with?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYCHitman1:
You can't take it to Verizon. I've heard rumors of it being run on Boost Mobile but that's pretty much it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butterbuns:
im pretty sure you can flash it to run on metro pcs.. but if you think your having problems with sprint just take it over there and you will be back with sprint in no time..

Your best bet is problay to just sell your EVO on craigslist or something like that and go get you a new phone from verizon or whatever company you wish..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobtc:
Hi! :)

I've had my Desire since April-May, and been happy with it all the time! However my phone just hated non-sense roms!? :confused: It constantly locks up at random times, tried Opendesire, Cyanogenmod, Defrost and some other ones, and it always does it! :( However I haven't had a single lock up with sense roms, Leedroid, NextSense, and so on... However I really like the added features of non-sense roms, so anyone know what the problem could be? CPU speed is at default 998 MHz, else I only got Handcent and LauncherPro installed, and some other apps... Never had a task killer installed!

EDIT: Oh and it should also be added that I run a 16GB Class 2 Sandisk MicroSD, with a 15.5GB Fat32 partition and a 500MB ext4 partition...

Regards

Jacob
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobtc:
BUMP! Could this be the mainboard failing?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobtc:
No one?...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bharata212:
Maybe you need to wipe before changing between rom?

from my Desire + XDA App
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobtc:
I always wipe cache and data before flashing a new ROM :)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
I was looking around for a thread for this phone, but found nothing. I hope people start working on it, I'd like to mod it.

Is there anything I can do to help, like dumping the rom? Do any of the current tools even work on it?

I read somewhere Kyocera was going to put out an upgrade to 2.1, bit I can't find anything besides a mention of that.

EDIT: FEB 22, 2011

NEW 2.2 THREAD

YES! It is actually out! For real!

EDIT: Jan 27, 2011

It was released (somewhere around page 76) that Android 2.2 would be released Late Feb to early March.

START NEW THREADS!

If you have questions other than modding, it would help to put it in a new thread with the prefix subject "Kyocera Zio M6000 - "

I figure if lots of threads pop up like that it would be more likely that they'd notice it and actually create it's own forum. If everything is just tagged onto this thread, then it will just get huge and unnavigable, and the mods won't notice enough activity.

Update:

hotaru was awesome enough to post a full dump of the Zio for us:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8907621&postcount=287

If you look around this thread you'll find info about rooting the phone. Also in this thread a port Clockwork Recovery was released. There are some issues with it that were not resolvable. Such as if you boot to Clockwork and don't actually reset the phone, it will lose the Cricket settings and revert to Verizon. So it will work to recover a ROM and backup, but you need to also need to reset or restore when you go there.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
Wasn't sure where to post this since there is no HW section for this phone, so I put it here in hacking general...

Could someone create a forum for it and move this post to it?

EDIT:

To root the phone people have had success with 1-click root for N1

And the MSL# is 000000

The debug ACCESS CODE is #777468

A copy of the 1.6 rom here

Will update here with any usefull info.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
Also, this thing has absolutely no multi-touch, even though all the blogs says it does.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Brantis:
For Tethering. PdaNet (I can't post any links cause i'm a new user, just do a Google Search and click "I'm Feeling Lucky")

Works like a Charm.

Currently Using the Free Version and it works GREAT.

Even has an SMS client built in so you can reply to your messages while your tethered.

Just make sure USB Debugging is on and you'll have no problem.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] cas8180:
I also put in a request for a user group for this phone. I emailed one of the admins directly and he told me if they get enough requests they may create it.

What I have really been looking for is either a hacked up upgrade Rom to either enclair or group for this phone.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] awe215:
I second that motion. The seems to be the first legit prepaid android phone, and it isn't really getting any attention, anywhere :-/
[Kyocera Zio M6000] cas8180:
Which I find quite odd. I personally have the EVO and love it but I did buy this phone for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it and for a prepaid phone with a price point of 230 bucks you really cant beat it. Especially for 55 a month. I would think more people would be flocking to this. I have even considered giving up my evo for it but I do like the 4g. And the Build of the Evo is much higher quality.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] awe215:
Root

I think getting the thing rooted is important. All of the wifi tether apps require that. I read somewhere that someone had done it.

Do you find your girlfriend's Zio crashes when trying to watch video that you are opening from a link? Mine does every time :-(
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
Yup, lots of freezing, soft and hard.

I can't get rid of a "cdma: reorder" error after installing GoogleVoice. Now I can only make calls through GV or I'll get the error. I really need a better ROM, they better come out with 2.1 ASAP.

I also hope the no multitouch is only a sw issue and not a hw one.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] jaystl420:
i totally agree with you guys this phone needs some tweeking
[Kyocera Zio M6000] z28james:
Multitouch is something that is enabled in the kernel. I'm sure that the update to 2.1 will bring multi touch.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] awe215:
ROOTED!

The Zio can be rooted, download the file, email it to yourself, and open it on the phone. It is easy peasy ;-)

Paste this into the search up top: 1-click root for N1

(I would have posted the link but the forums rules won't allow me because...I don't have many posts?)

Wifi tether works like a champ.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] cas8180:
No problems with my girlfriends phone I played with it for at least 2 or 3 hours when I first got it and eveything appeared to work fine. The only thing that I really didnt like was the factory keyboard I heard swiftkey got a major upgrade and was thinking about using it as a replacement especially cause it has the voice to text feature. And I may root her phone as well to give that wifi tether a shot. But what I would really like to see is some kind of upgrade to 2.X I think that it what will really make this phone shine.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xTONEx:
you should download apn backup and restore from the market and show us the apn used on that phone :)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] wwwilly1986:
Got my Zio rooted the same way, but now how do I enable Wifi tethering?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] awe215:
There is an app called "Barnacle Wifi Tethering", look it up in the app store. Once it is installed it is self explanatory,

If you like it, you should donate to the developers ;-)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] awe215:
Thick-buttons

Ah, there is an app called "ThickButtons", it's free, and it helps!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] wwwilly1986:
Got that and it seems kinda buggy. I always get some type of error the first time I try to start tethering. Always works on the second shot though.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pkopalek:
I second this motion.

Step 1: Download APN Backup & Restore from Market

Step 2: Open APN Backup & Restore

Step 3: Backup APNs

Step 4: Plug phone into computer with USB cable.

Step 5: Drag notification bar from the top, tap the USB connection notification, and Mount the SD card to your computer.

Step 6: Find the mounted drive on the computer (may be D:, E:, F:, G:, for example) by opening My Computer. Open it.

Step 7: Go into the APNBackup&Restore folder.

Step 8: Right click on your backed up APNs (maybe like 201009041233-apns.xml or something or whatever you named them when you did a Backup APNs)n

Step 9: Open with Notepad or Word Pad if it asks you.

Step 10: Highlight all text with your mouse, or use Ctrl + A to select all.

Step 11: After all text is highlighted, use Ctrl + C to copy the text OR go to the 'Edit' menu at the top with your mouse, and choose 'Copy'.

Step 12: Reply to this topic in this thread, right click in the text box where you type, and choose 'Paste'.

Step 13: Revel in good feelings as you provide very valuable help to the Android community.

Thank you ahead of time, if you are willing to help.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xTONEx:
yea do that for sure! and also maybe somebody who has root can grab the mms.apk and .odex files too =\
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
The Sprint Zio comes with 2.1 already on it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
then i don't know what they meant.:p
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
Lol I hope it Comes soon with all this stuff coming from cricket
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rudebeats:
i meant as since its released.. we should be getting it withing dis week or early next week..
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
... :(

Why does my phone say total memory: 134956kB?

Hmm, actually, the partitions are like so:

/dev	67476K total,	67464K avail
/sqlite_stmt_journals	4096K total,	4096K avail
/system	105984K total,	23884K avail
/data	190848K total,	87028K avail
/cache	105984K total,	102548K avail
/data/FLEX	18304K total,	8240K avail
/sdcard	7754256K total,	5603608K avail

So when it gives me the mem info it's just talking about the /system partition? What about all that unused space everywhere else? Where's the 256mb it's talking about?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
You're over thinking this. You are not going to actually see a section on your phone with big lights flashing that say "this is your 256Mb of memory". Seriously, if you absolutely just feel like you are being ripped off or something, then contact Kyocera and ask them. Or, contact Google and ask them how Android manages memory and space.

By the way 134956 Kilobytes is only about 131 Mb (Megabytes) give or take a half Mb or so. 131 Mb is less than 256 Mb.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
Yeah, I'll just call Google's convenient customer service hotline. I hear they have 100,000 CSR's on staff at all times to answer all Google related questions. :p
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Well, they are the best ones to explain where your storage space goes when you fill it up with their program.

From the sounds of your post here, you are not sure what the difference is between a kilobyte and a megabyte. You mentioned "all that unused space" but you listed less storage space than what you are looking for.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Your OS has to reside somewhere in memory correct? Perhaps that's what is taking up your missing space.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
I'm fully aware of the difference between KiB and MiB.

If I add those partitions up it comes to a bit under 512mb, so accounts for ROM in the specs. But only 256mb is user accessible, so that must be what's not root only. Apps are installed in /system/app, so although there might be 256mb user accessible, there's a maximum of 103.5mb minus system media (and whatever else is on the /system/ partition) for apps. Not much. And the rest of the user space is probably /data/.

I should have looked at the partition free space when I wiped the thing again the other day. Oh well.

Still feels like I'm getting ripped.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I am sure the way they measure storage space is the same way everyone else in the industry measures it. If you buy another phone that states it has 256Mb of storage, you will most likely find that you have a similar amount of room available.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
The kernel is in /sys/

It doesn't say where that's mounted from or how large it is. I tried to get the used space, but it seems to be looping through a symbolic link or something because it got forever bigger and bigger. I googled and found this mention:

http://groups.google.com/group/andr...read/thread/cc95802fa8281022/5a7121c797dfe5d1
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
No doubt. That doesn't change the fact that to the average consumer, who doesn't know what linux even is, manufacturers are fronting some large number that isn't relevant to what the consumers would be using. It might be standard, but it's still dishonest. It's analogous to the whole 500MB BS the HDD mfg's created using decimal rather than binary to cause the whole ridiculous MiB thing. Everything digital operates in binary, so use for the whole "mega" = 1000 vs "mibi" = 1024 is solely for the mfg's benefit and no-one else's.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
Can we please take this whole "where's my memory, damnit?!" argument outside? At least start a new thread or something. this entire thread has been thrown off topic. Now, you kids get off my lawn!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Hmm...if I was the one asking about the memory, I would wonder if you were calling me a "kid" for having concerns. Seems like it could potentially be rude and insulting...
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
Did you lose your sense of humor when you logged in to the forum?

People take themselves too seriously.

No offense was intended. Next time I'm trying to be funny, I'll plaster lauging smileys all over my replies.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
One does not have to take themselves seriously to understand that some people do not know how to relate their intentions when typing text. It is not my fault that you did not make yourself clear. Of course, the true sign of taking oneself seriously is when you blame others for not getting your own point across.

I have a great sense of humor. You simply don't tell a good joke.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
Touche.

Text in any format - sms, forums - is a terrible medium for communicating humor, sarcasm, etc.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
HAHA, I thought that was funny. Like a grumpy old man who's just bitter. I got it. I think it was clearly humor. Perhaps you just have to have heard it before. That phrase is common and is always used for humorous intent. In my head I imagined you doing the old man impression.

I was joking when I talked about googles customer service center with 100,000 reps. I thought it was a riot. Craig just doesn't get our humor. (See, I said Craig rather than Greg because it's the opposite of the username, so it's funny.)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Webinator:
I don't know if this is going in the right place, but I'm going to sell my Zio. I have it for sell for $200 with screen covers front and back, soft cover, and a 8gb micro sd card. I will sell it with all the bought apps and with the root program (disabled right now). I will pay for standard shipping. This phone is 3 weeks old and in perfect condition. I have the box with it too. Thanks and sorry if this is in the wrong place in the forum.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
Make a new thread i the general forum.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
A new thread would've been great.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
So no news ey?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
There is all kinds of news. Just not the news you are probably asking about.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] jcaf77:
i got news! got email back from kyocera, they said its crickets fault!! wow they are so good at the blame game. I Wont be gettign a Kyocera phone in the future.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Well, now let's look at this logically. We know that Sprint was able to either acquire the Zio with 2.1 on it from Kyocera or Sprint was able to do the install themselves. Either way, it seems Cricket is the one lagging behind here. Apparently Kyocera has done whatever they needed to do for the Zio to run 2.1, otherwise Sprint would not have it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
If someone can just post a Sprint rom, all would be good.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] jcaf77:
mmhmh let's say that at launch this was this case.... then kyocera should release the source code also why in the world kyocera didnt put a recovery on their phone!!!! The new HUAWEI has a recovery mode where you can get a fresh rom installation the same one you would find on HTC phones.. looks to me Kyocera is lagging
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I have no clue why they didn't. But just because I don't have the answer doesn't mean the default answer is that it is their doing and not Cricket's that is keeping the upgrade from releasing. I mean Sprint was able to get 2.1 under the same conditions that you mention above.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] jcaf77:
I am going to get away from the forums !! this mess with the zio is frustrating me so much! now I have read some comments from sprint users and they are hating the zio looks like the 2.1 update didnt bring multi touch.! meaning the phone is just not capable of multitouch... this is a huge miss! especially on a $250 price tag!

:mad:
[Kyocera Zio M6000] jamesrothwell123:
Cricket's responce

:) I work for Cricket and was told no update to 2.1 till jan. :( so... we need smart plp to port a sprint rom over. cuss the zio dose have better speces that the ascend!!!.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rudebeats:
I dont believe in any date.. I dont think we are getting it nemore.. Does the Ascend have multitouch?? If it does, im getting that phone.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] jamesrothwell123:
yes cuss it has 2.1 all ready andthe Zio hw supports it its just 1.6 dose not
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rudebeats:
But they the zio 2.1 on sprint does not support multitouch
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
In all fairness, I personally have not seen any information directly from Kyocera or Cricket that states the phone is "multitouch capable". If you haven't seen it either, then you made the assumption on your own and that is not their fault. I would suggest, before you get another phone, you double check that it has everything you are looking for and get the info straight from the manufacturer so that you have their direct word on it and there is no misunderstanding.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
I was reading the android wiki and it said that multi touch didn't come til 2.2 or special revisions of 2.1
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
I'm wrong heheh
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
"special revisions", translated: Cyanogenmod :D (seriously, though, if memory serves, I think it was the work of Team Douche that brought multi-touch to the custom rom masses before it was widely available)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Yeah, Android.com says 2.0 has multi tuch.

I think the thing that should be remembered is this is a low end phone, no matter how much people expect from a $240 phone, they are not going to get everything $400 devices or more expensive phones offer. It is that plain and simple.

I have looked a little more and still don't see anything from Kyocera themselves that says the Zio has multi touch. Granted, some of the blogs say it does, but it is not like the blogs have never been wrong before.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
Yeah it makes sense.. I'm not worried about multi touch, I just want 2.1 at some point.. I think multi touch would likely be horrible on this capacitive screen
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rat_fink1950:
zio :(

I give up the phone is just to slow and laggy, touch screen is unresponsive and for those reason i am just gonna switch to sprint and get the evo. I wish cricket would have acted faster. Sprint just seems to have their stuff together. good luck to you guys
[Kyocera Zio M6000] DarkkEnergy:
off topic:

i just bought my Zio (on cricket) like last week and apparently i wasn't aware that there actually is malware, spyware, and all of the crap that plagues Win OS.

i downloaded a multi-wallpaper app from the market place and had like chinese lettering and stuff. next thing i know is that my Zio starts going to the dashboard automatically while i'm browsing or whatever without the home button being pressed. then this friggin' ad-ware advertisement pops up prompting me to press on "Yes" in order to take me to a site :mad::D.

then my phone freezes and locks up on me. i had to pull the battery out and wait for at least 2 mins before putting it in. i formatted the sd-card and restored the phone back to factory state. luckily that i had a few apps and that i backed up my contacts list with the "back-up" app.

plus, there's an internet security suite by Smobile systems for $29. i'm sure not buying this.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Webinator:
I'm switching to sprint also to get the epicl the whole way cricket is handling this is horrible. Pkus I'll get 4g!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
what would crack me up is if, after all these people switch to sprint, the rollout to 2.1/2.2 happens.

Schadenfreude, baby
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I'm beginning to think I am the only one who got a working Zio. I don't have problems with the touch screen; it isn't laggy or as slow as others say theirs are. I think I am just going to be happy that I am the only person who got a Zio that works the way it is supposed to :)

Of course, as I stated before, I know it wasn’t going to work like the $400 plus phones out there.

Then again I might be the last person on earth that understands that price differences many times also mean performance differences. It always cracks me up when I read these online reviews where people are like “man…these little $6 Walgreens speakers suck compared to my $3,000 Bose speakers…what’s up with that?”
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
You're not the only one. Mine's been working just fine. Even battery life (which some complained about) isn't bad. It lasts for about a day, day and a half..but then i'm a heavy texter, use the GPS a lot, and twitter.

I made the mistake of installing ATK at first, but once i removed it and just let Android do what it does, battery life improved.

You're right, too, about people's expectations.

It's no Nexus One. But I didnt buy a Nexus One and knew not to expect N1 performance and whizbang features.

For what I do with it, Donut is fine. Admittedly, I do miss the multiple accounts and other little features, but I did fine before without them when i had a MyTouch...

2.1 would rock, but not having it is not going to make me return the phone and switch carriers just so i can have it now.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Well, maybe you got the only working one west of the Rockies and I got the only working one east of the Rockies....
