[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
With Amon_RA booted up:

adb shell /sbin/nandroid-mobile.sh --help

e.g., the -e (or --ext2) option.

Note that not every option that is available in the "nandroid-mobile.sh" script works correctly in the Eris version of Amon_RA; not only that, but Amon_RA tends to call the script with lots of command line options.

If you want to find out what options the interactive menu system uses, there are two ways to do this:

(1) With Amon_RA running, and a Linux box (or cygwin on Windows):

adb pull /sbin/recovery ./recovery-binary

strings ./recovery-binary | grep nandroid-mobile

rm ./recovery-binary

That will get you the following:

/sbin/nandroid-mobile.sh -b --norecovery --nocache --nomisc --nosplash1 --nosplash2 --defaultinput

/sbin/nandroid-mobile.sh -b -e --norecovery --nocache --nomisc --nosplash1 --nosplash2 --defaultinput

/sbin/nandroid-mobile.sh -r -e --norecovery --nocache --nomisc --nosplash1 --nosplash2 --defaultinput -s

I suppose the 2nd one is the one you want for Nand+ext

Or, if you think that is too sneaky,

(2) With Amon_RA running, log in interactively with adb, start the backup/recovery operation you are interested in, and then run the command

ps

find the PID of the backup process and quickly (before the backup/restore finishes), type the command

cat /proc/<PID>/cmdline

where <PID> is replaced with the numeric PID (Process ID) you observed in the output of the ps command.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] luckyvictor:
Hi all

This might be a silly question, however I would like to ask that

What are the functions of the keys on HTC diamond corresponding to?

for example, the power button now is now something to wake up a menu of recent, and to switch off the phone, I have to press n hold cut for a while for the menu.

so how key lock the phone, etc? also, when the keyboard is up, how to hide it again please?

thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talhamid:
Hello all

Please help me. Like an idiot, in process of wiping the phone I also chose to wipe Boot, thinking it would be a good idea.

Guess what, phone is stuck on the white HBOOT screen with 3 dancing androids on skateboard at the bottom.

Recovery is there though (CLockwork).

Will installing a new ROM solve the problem?

Thanks

I flashed leaked rom last night and everything went well.

It was like 1 am and I plugged in charger and went bed.

Then, I heard notification aroung 4 am woke me up and my wife wondering what it was.

It turned ou to be battery fully charged notification.....

Vibrant didnt have this notification on older rom.

This morniong I tried to turn this thing off and only thing I can do is turn whole nitification off!!

Is there anyway that I can ONLY turn off battery fully charged notification?

Hey folks,

I'm trying to set up Gmail with Exchange through the HTC Mail Widget.

I get past the first username/password, and then it again asks for server address/domain address, and I fill them out accordingly (m.gmail.com/google.com/ssl).

I've tried this both manually and automatically.

It tries to verify and keeps coming up with a pop up 'Authentication failed, please verify username and/or password'.

I've retyped it about 20 times, it's working with the Gmail widget.

help?

Please let me know. My daughter scratched up my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Testrunner:
Some screen protector companies claim if you put on their product it will cover up minor scratches.

I bought screen guard from xoskins.com and it seemed to cover up the few minor scratches I had. Or, at least, I don't notice them anymore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
Yeah, I believe that. Most of these screen protectors look so crappy after u put them on the regular screen scratched up looks better. If any of you guys know of any good ways to actually fix the scratch and not just cover it up please advise. Thanks for your help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
hm you must not be very good at installing screen protectors OR you are buying super cheap ones. Most of the quality ones if installed correctly look almost invisible after the first day or so (some almost immediately) and will cover minor scratches making them almost to compellingly invisible.

The only other things i can think of is if you have the time and patience i have heard of people who have had success using very very fine jewelers sand paper and polish. a friend of mine also used the pens you can get for paint scratches on your car and has had success on other devices. never used either myself

Ghost armor is the best.. i swear...

idk where they sell but I had mine done at the Dadeland Mall (Miami FL).40$ full wrap... this stuff is good... i once sat on my TP2 with a lighter under it... for at least 30 mins till i noticed... The screen had the FULL lighter imprinted (like bump-mapped)... 10mins later cleared right out...

i didnt like the rubbery feel around the whole phone... but the side strips really do protect it from scuffs and stuff... the screen i ended removing and getting money back... only have it on my batt cover now... looks way stylish and the screen itself is scratch-proof (i did the razor blade test as a skeptic).

the only thing i saw scratches the screen is scissors (if you try to), and rubbing it on rough concrete (literally rubbing it)... an old Nova screen which I got insurance replaced gave me these results...so thats how i know :D

Yep... Ghost Armor is the ONLY thing I use. Better than invisishield. Lifetime warranty. I had to get a new one once and it was free... well... i did have to cover shipping of like a buck. Watch the video several times over and read read read before doing it.

It WILL hide those scratches.

BTW... could you ask your daughter how she scratched it? I saw a video of a guy when the EVOs first came out. He tried pretty hard to scratch it without a guard and he couldn't. So I am really curious.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
I did go back to Best Buy today and I got much better Mobile guy this time. He told me that a lot of the InvisiShields were damaged...he had to go through like 6 of them till he found one without a blemish. He actually did a really good job installing it...doesn't justify paying $30 for a piece of plastic but at least he did a good job. I just hope it stays on.

As for how my daughter scratched it...I saw her with my cell phone face down on my glass coffee table. Maybe there was something abrasive between the screen and the coffee table. I'm really careful with my phone for the most part so I'm pretty certain that is when it happened.

I am on o2 UK (prepay), and the odd thing is that on sense roms MMS works fine. I have tried the same APN settings in cyanogenmod/opendesire and no luck.

Noobie here so please not too much burning :)

I want to buy the 3.5mm to RCA TV out cord (cause I think we're in agreement that the Micro USB to HDMI is not going to happen?)

My questions is can I connect it to a monitor with Composite inputs? Will I be able to hear anything?

I want to stream my slingplayer to a TV for when I go tailgaiting and don't really feel like lugging around my LCD I have in my living room and don't want to buy a TV just for these purposes.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sitlet:
I'm not familiar with that device, but as long as you can output video through the 3.5mm slot, a 3.5mm to rca cable will work fine. RCA is composite, so as long as your monitor has a yellow rca you will see video. For audio you would need red/white rca in.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Rooster*:
I read somewhere that you have to switch the red and yellow ends of the cable because of the way the captivates 3.5 jack is wired. The video will come across the red end of the cable, the left audio on the yellow and the right audio remains on the white. My problem is, I have the 3.5 to RCA/AV cable but can't get any arrangement to work. I have tried both tv out settings on the phone and every possible color combination at the RCA end of the cable and all I get is a scrambled video and a buzzing hum that drowns out the audio. My 3.5 to RCA audio cable works flawless. Maybe I just have a bad AV cable. :confused: Anybody else have these issues or any advice?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] macropp:

[EVO 4G General] champ052005:
Does ROM Manager work with AmonRa Recovery?

I'm asking this because I currently have Clockwork and when I try to flash an alternate recovery through ROM Manager, it says that features within ROM Manager will be unavailable until I flash Clockwork again.

So...hence my question. And if I wanted to switch to RA recovery, would I have to manually push it through adb or is using ROM Manager fine?
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
No, you can flash Amon through ROM manager, but if you want to manage the nandroid back-ups you've done through ROM manager, you need to flash back to clockwork recovery. I always keep Amon on since Clockwork may or may not wipe the dalvik cache properly, and only revert to clockwork recovery when I need to restore or create a back up of my ROM.

No need to use ADB unless you get some kind of an error flashing from ROM manager.
[EVO 4G General] champ052005:
Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it.

I never knew how easy it is to flash the recoveries. I always thought I would have to push it through adb again like the time I rooted!

I'll def try what you are doing with keeping Amon and switching back to Clockwork when needed.

Thanks again for the help!

Can you check and see if it's a dns issue? I thought I had routing issues with openvpn in linux, but it was just dns... it was even timing out ssh trying to do reverse lookup. I haven't tried to make it work on my Evo yet.. may play with it this afternoon. If I get it working, I'll let you know what I did.

In the meantime.. don't smash your phone!
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I have to honestly say, that I am sorely confused by your post:

1. Why does CM6 "sux"? Is it the fact that it is not loaded with bloatware? Or do you just like using HTC's outdated, underperforming UI better?

2. It's Netarchy.

3. "Newest one not the beta": very informative; however version number and scheduler type would be much more efficient and poignant.

4. What make/model router are you trying to run traffic through?

5. "Every dam how to and everything to get this crap to work" Wow...ummm...every single one?

6. Believe it or not, VPN is not a commonly requested feature by the majority of the market of end users. Android is purchased primarily by average people who just want a phone that does everything; even though this is a development community, and Android is Linux based, most end users are not technophiles. Hence, VPN is not a big deal for most.

7. "Is there any other roms that have this built in and working im at the end here" I thought you already tried every ROM?

8. Using the singular "is" when referring to something that is plural is not cool.

9. Poor phone (!), it's not even come to life yet and you already want to kill it. This calls for the summoning of the Council of Rabbid Naked Bunnies: I hope you have a good argument for your defense.

10. Nope...no ideas here.

it probaly is a dns config issue cause when i check the firebox it shows that im connected from my phone but i cant acess **** and its not pulling any traffic. So how would i fix this?? The fix dns in the openvpn settings didnt work so I have no clue.

I dont like cm6 because when I flashed the latest stable release launcher kept crashing there is no 4g umm lets i didnt like how i couldnt search through my phone #'s HTC's uI is crap but cm6 is not any better. thats my personal opinion. It was reallly unstable and no 4g come on now. What I did like about it is that Openvpn worked right away no configuring except for pointing it to my config file. BUt I couldnt stand using that rom now if it had 4g i would have made it work for me.

I am frusterated what might be normal every day stuff for the people that devolop on here is not for me. Im preatty good at figureing stuff out but dam i have tried every solution that i can think of. I wish it was built in to more roms it would make it great for buisness users. Even now if my phone restarts I have to do a insmod tun.ko manualy through adb shell to get it back up what ever reason it doesnt work through openvpn settings.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nivron:
Super quick rundown --

Prerequisites: Rooted Froyo, kernel with tun.ko, VPN Connections 0.99.

1. Run VPN Connections to have it create necessary folders and files in the /data folder. You may also want to go ahead and create your VPN connection, but DO NOT TRY TO CONNECT!

2. Use this vpnc-script instead of the one installed by default. You can use adb push commands or a file manager to move this file into the correct place.

3. ???

4. Profit! Err, or well you will be able to re-launch VPN Connections and hopefully establish a VPN connection.

This method should be able to connect with PIX/ASA firewalls using group and/or token authentication. I don't believe it works with SSL VPNs such as configurations available to AnyConnect. My work uses a VPN 3000 Concentrator and it works as well.

Hope this helps!
