[Droid 2 General] phud1066:
Ok, so here is the situation:

I rooted my Droid 2, no problem. You guys give very easy to follow directions, so kudos.

Things worked fine once rooted for a week or so, then I installed LCD Density changer. I put in the new density I wanted, it told me to reboot. Fine, I do so. Once I do it, it goes into an endless boot cycle.

My first thought was boot into recovery and do 'restore to factory defaults', so I figured out how to do that, and it 'worked'. But once I restarted, now it reboots with an LCD density of 90 (like I set in LCD Density changer); it takes me to the initial setup screen, works for 10-15 seconds, then reboots. I repeated the 'restore to factory defaults' and same thing.

I'm at a loss as to what to do! I've read about 'flashing' a recovery...can I do that while my phone is in its current state?

Thanks so much for your help, people!
[Droid 2 General] darkonion:
I think you can flash your phone. I don't think you need to have your phone working to flash. Maybe just having it on?
[Droid 2 General] jcsugrue:
Yup, you should be able to get in just fine to flash it again. Just turn the phone on while holding down the UP arrow on the D-pad. I've done a lot of stupid stuff to every Droid I've owned, and still haven't managed to brick one permanently.
[Droid 2 General] phud1066:
You're right! This let me get access to the bootloader, and flash the recovery .sbf I found in another thread. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but this seems to be working. Thanks for your help!
[Droid 2 General] phud1066:
Update: Fixed!

RSD Lite worked while the phone was at the bootloader. I flashed the recovery, and everything seems to be fine and dandy now. Thanks for your help, darkonion and jcsugrue!
[Droid 2 General] darkonion:
No problem. Glad that my tutorial can help!
[Droid 2 General] KingLo:
I had given up all hope of restoring my phone until I read this. Thanks you very much
[Droid 2 General] Terri M:
RSD lite would not work while I was in the bootloader program. It would get to 100% then would go into a second flashing of image file then it would fail. I am pretty sure I have bricked my phone, but still hanging on to it hoping against hope that I can fix it. I have tried almost everything, with the exception of using Linux. I don’t know where to get it or how much it costs.

I wound up having to buy another Droid 2 from the Verizon store here in town. :/
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Linux unlike Mac and Windows is basically free. Ubuntu is free to download. I dual boot windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04.

[General Questions and Answers] stone_phalanges:
I'm looking for several apps in the marketplace. I know they exist but they don't show up. I have a Samsung Captivate, rooted and running the lag fix and gps fix. I have run the market access app to emulate several other market places T-mobile, Verizon, Sprint etc.

For example, I cannot find paintshop pro, Logmein Ignition, or Caligo chasers. I have heard that some apps might not be available to rooted phones but to me that doesn't make sense:mad:. Excluding apps from the market literally forces you to pirate them because they cannot be legitimately purchased from the market.

Is my phone being excluded because it's rooted or could there be some other problem?
[General Questions and Answers] stone_phalanges:
Is there a workaround

It seems that after a bit of research that I can see that google has made rooted phones unable to see protected apps. There must be some workaround for this, I cannot imagine all the rooted android users just not having access to large quantities of great apps.
[General Questions and Answers] stone_phalanges:
My rom might be the problem

Upon further investigation it appears that my particular rom, and not the fact that I am rooted, might be to blame. Does anyone know how to hide my rom from the market or if I can access the market in a way that will make the market think I am using a different rom.
[General Questions and Answers] stone_phalanges:
no work around?

does anyone have an Idea about how to work around this? I seem ro be missing out on some great apps.
[General Questions and Answers] EvilPickle:
Figured I would post in here instead of starting a new thread since this pertains to my question/issue.

I have a Samsung Vibrant running on SoftBank(Japan) network. I rooted and had initially loaded up Bionix Fusion JACs Kernel(TeamWiskey) ROM and was able to download Angry Birds off of the Market. I then wanted to try out Frankin-Twiz (Eugene373) ROM, after I loaded the ROM I went to the Market to find Angry Birds and it wasnt there. This was the only App that I know for sure that I couldn't get after loading the new ROM.. there might be others, I just cant say what they are.

So it is defiantly a ROM issue. Anyone have any ideas why?
[General Questions and Answers] tasriri:
try market enable which is available in the market. but i think u also need to root your phone to use it

[Hero CDMA Accessories] jasonsf:
This review (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8204705#post8204705) is fairly negative about the quality of the screen protector. For covering the back of the phone, I'm not so concerned about the look. But I don't think I want it on the screen.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Sirchuk:
Yeah, there's a huge thread about these.

Their instructions say to apply a solution, that was not provided nor instructed on how to make our own.

I ordered 2 sets for my HTC EVO. With both sets only the front screen protector was removable, the rear and sides were not cut all the way through the plastic. Taking a razor blade to it often lead to disaster.

I won't recommend them, no matter how cheap they are. You get what you pay for.

I didnt care for the screen one.. used the back though... but for free what do u expect.lol

I was under the impression that your phone automatically synced your contacts with your Gmail account so if you were to wipe your phone or lose your phone all your contacts are ready to sync w/ the new phone/wiped phone...

I will not be supporting this rom at all, but it works and runs great, only issue i think its the wifi scan, if anyone fixes this ill post it on OP.

Completly vanilla, no sense nor this was based off a sense rom, it is completly stock vanilla OS.

FRG33

Android 2.2

Enjoy!

http://www.mediafire.com/?lb5duxk9ytef7zt

If anyone wants to take over this rom its completely okay, I dont notice anymore bugs on this besides the wifi scan.

Noticed fixes from FRG33:

- i did notice that on audio playback it does not sound choppy or skip. (i.e. streaming audio, music, browser, youtube)

- gallery loads images a lot smoother now

- battery seems to play well

- few fixes you'll notice coming from FRF91 (nothing major)

overall its okay.

The other day I was reading about Google voice being leaked from a G2 system dump in the android forum and I decided to give it a go. After installing, I launched the Google Voice app and then clicked the home button. I was prompted to choose which application to use: Sense UI or Launcher. I selected Launcher and it gave the default android home screen without any of the Sense UI extras, including the full 3D app menu. Not sure if anybody else tried this, but I wanted to share what I found.

I also installed the Gallery3DFroyo.apk from this thread:

Here is the zip that fixes the visual signal fix on Cyanogen (and all AOSP roms for that matter). However, don't flash this if you're running an theme on top of froyo. It wont hurt your phone, but it wont help any :) A big thanks to Kyouko for the fix!

Having trouble applying this with the newest CM 6.0.0 Stable? Take a look here for some help to get it working. Thanks to dirkydirk23 for these tips!

Download metamorph (free) from the market

Download the zip attached to this post

Unzip the visual fix file onto your sd card. It doesn't matter where on your sd card, just somwhere where you can find it.

Open metamorph, and allow it to run checks. Sometimes on the first time you open it, it claims that something is wrong on your phone and will close. If this happens, just reopen the aplication again and allow it to run checks. It will work the second time.

Click on "apply existing theme" on metamorph.

Navigate to the extracted file of the visual fix on your sd card.

Click on it, and then select the .XML file

Allow metamorph to flash the .XML and rebbot your phone. When it boots up again, the signal bars will be fixed!

Post if you have any questions or would like to express thanks :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BuddahWolf01:
I'ma noobie

hey, lemme ask you, is there an issue with it showing inaccurate bars? or is this giving us more visual bars as others have complained about only having 4?

gives you more visual bars.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BuddahWolf01:
nice, I'm gonna get on this band wagon tonight when I get home, now if someone would just get back to me on the circular battery symbol thing, I'll be set. ha
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] theimpaler747:
This gives you more visual bars. On the default rom without this fix, the max amount of bars that will show up, even if you have amazing signal, is 3. With this fix, you get a more accurate reading; If you have great signal, you'll have the full 4 bars, not only 3. And if you have ok signal, you'll have 2 bars, not only one. And I fixed the spelling thanks :D

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] theimpaler747:
Why were you mad? This fix is for the hero, and it worked because you have a full 4 bars now. The droid has always had the full 4 bars, but AOSP on the hero never has. Now with the fix, it does :)

BTW, if I download and extract the .png files from this fix, can I just add them to the Framework-res.apk in my theme? Will that do the same thing once I flash the theme?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] theimpaler747:
Yes it will if I'm understanding the question correctly... you're making a theme and changing out the default PNG images and replacing them with these? If that's the case then when you flash the new theme it definitely should work, but if it doesn't you can always just metamorph this file and make it work :)
