I got the Seidio 3500, even if it's only 80-90% of the advertised, it's still the highest actual mAh on the market and I can get a full day with Wi-Fi tethering, GPS, and downloading and flashing the latest CyanogenMod nightly over Verizon 3G (DROID Incredible).
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Bullhead00:
+1. I have the Seidio 3500mAh and it is a hoss! I have no problem getting through an entire day with heavy use. It doesn't detract from the looks of my Incredible either. In fact, the included battery door makes it fit in my hand better and protects the camera lens.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] shoman24v:
I get better performance out of my HTC 1500 then my Seidio 1750. The HTC is thicker and heavier then the Seidio. I paid $17.99 shipped for the HTC and something like $40.00 for the Seidio.

I just purchased an HTC 2150 which included an OEM backing for $39.99. Couldn't be happier with it.

I think with what I've learned, going OEM is the only way.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ncwildcat:
I agree. The seidio 1750 is crap

I'm really liking the HTC 1500 battery (same one that comes with the evo). Right now I'm sitting at 15% remaining after 13 hours 20 minutes of uptime and 4 hours 40 minutes of awake time. Thats without bump charging it either. Score one for the oem.

I use the HTC 2150 and I love it. One charge lasts all day with HEAVY use.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] bodyshop:
i am using NfiniteFx45 stock ROM De-odexed (Hero.C.Sprint_2.27.651.6-3.A2SD.2.7U-3_signed) i updated to Recovery RA 1.6.2 so i can backup nandroid + ext. (I saw instructions that said to update to RA 1.6.2 if you had an earlier version, so I did. now everytime i try to do a nandroid backup + ext i get error: run 'nandroid-backup.sh' in adb. when i open command prompt and run nandroid-backup.sh it says i have to list a command {-b{--backup etc. thats where im lost. dont know how to enter it i entered -b (didn't work) entered --backup (didn't work). can someone assist me please?!?

I am using a2sd also.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Craigerade:
I don't think you can do the nandroid+ext with amon ra recovery. Try just a standard nandroid.

You could also try clockwork mod recovery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Try putting the recovery img on the root of your SD card ( make sure to name it properly ) power down ur device then reboot into recovery holding the home and power button then plug your phone into ur computer/laptop then from adb reflash the recovery might work for you good luck

Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
[Hero CDMA Android Development] D4RKJ3D1:
if that doesn't work i would strongly suggest ClockworkMod Recovery. I've been using it for months now with no problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
First I would suggest posting in the right section. This is a question and rules say don't post questions in this section. Its a very huge thread posted above saying this.

Don't be lazy next time and read rules.

But I would suggest clockwork mod recovery.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Most times when you get that error, it means there isn't enough space on your SD card to make the backup. Do you have at least 300 MB free on your card? You may even need more than that if you are trying to do nand + ext. That could possibly be the reason for your error if you don't have enough space.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] add144:
I got the same error before I updated to Darch's Amon RA 1.7

http://darchroms.pocketdevelopers.com/recoveries/RA-Darchstar.img
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
yes second that one actually...i had only 200mb free from having 2 nandroids on my sd card..deleted one and had around 375mb and it worked great. must have 300mb in order for all the Temp folders/files to work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
My fav. recovery so far, but I'm using Darch's Godspeed now because he recommended it for Darktremor a2sd.

I usually get that error when I try to nand +ext, with full batt and lotsa memory on card and in phone. I've gotten it simply nand-ing w/ low batt too. I've put it down to a lack of understanding regarding Darktremor and a2sd in general.

With NFX Hero I get constant "android media" f.c.s and have no access to much of anything on sd. Usually run one of Darch's cm6s.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Drarch's 1.7 amon RA is slightly newer than Godspeed, ad it's also overclocked. I'd check it out, it's pretty good IMO :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bodyshop:
So can a nandroid + ext backup be done with RA 1.5.2? Thats the only reason i even changed the Recovery to RA 1.6.2 because this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7054986&postcount=7 Said you needed to switch to 1.6.2 id you didnt have it. I just want to upgrade my SDcard from 2GB to 8GB.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
Just make sure you have more then 30% battery and decent space left on your SD card. Sometimes recoverys are corrupt but rarely. I use clockwork recovery. Don't freak either lol. You should have a working backup on your comp ^_^
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
Switching back, thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, let me know if you need any more help :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bodyshop:
OK so i was trying to switch recoverys for nothing. I figured if there was the option for nandroid backup + ext on the recovery then it should work. I mean i don't think developers would put an option that doesn't work, they'd just omit it right? Im still kind of new and this post says u need RA 1.6.2, if you dont have it get it. that's why i thought it wouldn't work. They should update that information.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
Nand+ext 2 or 3 times w/ Darch's RA 1.7, no errors - thanks theimpaler747!

Often I can avoid old data by checking post dates, but sometimes that gets confusing, it's great when dev.s keep their instructions up-to-date! So what's the best a2sd to use w/cm6 builds? native? Darktremor (with out dated directions)? This stuff can change fast !
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HEROEVO:
Native is the best right now

CM 6.1 will be including EXT support for native A2SD
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, glad to help :D
[Desire General] kekkle:
I wanted to change my Google account on my phone and the only way to do this sadly is by reset back to factory settings. Which is already stupid as hell, but okay.

Anyway, I reset it. I even checked if my settings where backed up via the hidden privacy setting that was hidden since FroYo.

Yet, I lost ALL my data. All my phone numbers, my home screen configurations. My bookmarks, my ringtone settings.

Everything was GONE!

Thank god I had a vCard backup from August 7. Which contained most new numbers of my friends. I only had to ask 2 people for their number again.
[Desire General] Nickedynick:
I'm not sure how much stuff gets backed up with Froyo, but I suspect the reason you've lost things in this instance is because it's now linked with the account you wanted to remove from the phone.
[Desire General] andQlimax:
I can confirm there are NO backup feature with froyo for the Desire...Htc said they didnt implemented yet the google cloud backup feature...search in the forum, u will find the full htc response...

Anyway when and if htc will implement it, it will be linked to ur gmail account

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] kekkle:
Well, I changed my way of storing this now.

All my contacts are no longer on my phone, they are all Google Contacts. I copied all the numbers as well to my SIM card as a backup. I will also make a monthly vCard backup (as I always did).

My calendar is synced with Google so always there.

I got an app called SMSBackup+ that can backup and restore all my text messages from my phone to my Gmail account and back.

If someday I find a way to backup specific things of my SD card to my Gmail account, I'm all set.

I wish Google had a service like Windows Mobile and their MyPhone service.
[Desire General] FreudsCAT:
if your desire is rooted..... use

titanium backup

it backups everything!

and after the factory reset, configure primary gmail account using the wizard and then restore everything with Titanium Backup except [E-MAIL ACCOUNT SETTINGS]

I have a branded Galaxy S with no Android market. I've found 3 different Vending.apks, version 1.665, 1.668, 1.713. I tried to install them using adb install. 1.7133 returns "unexpected exception". Other two install successfully but they both crash when click Install an app. When I go back to app page it says Starting download and gets stuck there (Market app is not frozen). Am I missing a step for manually installing market? Do I have to do anything like adb push Vending.apk /system/app/?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MindChild:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] deastr:
AFAIK appbrain uses default market app to download. I don't have any market app that's the problem..

I don't know what gapps.apk is. Could you elaborate please?

Do you mean Vending.apk from the gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip of the Cyanogenmod 5?

Btw I'm using:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] domii:
Did the same vending.apk installation on a HTC legend "Middle East Version" which also came with no Market and no sucess, i do have the same problem..."crashing at installation"

and about gapps, it's not an apk but rather a flashable content that require rooted device and since i don't wanna root this phone i really didn't figure it out so far. so i'm still waiting for a solution.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] herrwinkler:
Ok. The gapps.apk I know of you can find on rom manager. I think you can DL rom manager straight from their website and install using something like astro file manager. Cyanogen can't release a rom with the Google apps for copyright reasons so they offer it as a seperate download. I'm assuming you can find it on the cyanogenmod site. Otherwise try flashing a stock image through rom manager if they have one for the galaxy x. How did it not come with a market?

Ok, that out of the way, I have an issue! I have taken my time to go through and create a "fade in" effect with a logo that I would like to replace my boot animation with. First and foremost, here are my specs:

Rooted nexus one

Locked bootloaded

Stock ROM, FRF91 2.2

I've examined the stock animation and the custom animations that came included with the boot animation changer app. I have no idea what I am doing wrong but I am sure it has to do something with the desc.txt file. If anyone would be so kind as to modify the attached files (probably just the desc.txt), it would be appreciated. Better yet, explain what I am doing wrong and I will do it myself. Attached is bootanimation.zip with a compression type of *store*, including ~100 .png files.

I haven't read your .txt file because I'm at work, but did you compress the .zip? And make sure you're not using transparent images. I heard it causes problems.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gnarlyc:
Did you try zipping up just the contents? When I unzip the file, it looks like -

/bootanimation/bootanimation/part0/

/bootanimation/bootanimation/desc.txt​

Looking at a known, working bootanimation, it looks like this -

/bootanimation/folders

/bootanimation/desc.txt​

This is a common problem when devs first start out. I've done it myself when signing a new ROM and trying to flash it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bennettm89:
Not too sure what was wrong other than maybe the "false" line breaks in notepad or something.

Opened a shell in cygwin, nano'd the txt file and made my changes. Wrote it, and dos2unix'd it. Proceeded with a "zip -r -0 part*/*.png desc.txt" and everything is working. Although after I figured it out, I appreciate your responses.
