Do you mean that I have to choose ActiveSync option from USB to PC in winmo?

If that's the case, it's still not working. And after entering xandroid, there is no popup message on the computer if I connect the phone via USB to computer. All I got now is "Press the PS Button" on top right hand corner. No error message at all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stinky_1:
yes, you want it in active sync mode in winmo.

If you are not getting the invalid usb device error on ps3 then you need to open up the command line in xdandroid and type this in

"su" then hit enter on the keyboard

"cd /sdcard" then hit enter on the keyboard. there is a space between "cd"

and "/sdcard".

"insmod psfreedom.ko" then hit enter on the keyboard.

You will know each command was successful when you hit enter and the

pound sign "#" appears. When you see the pound sign "#" after entering

"insmod psfreedom.ko" you know it is successfully running.

You should now see the usb error on your ps3.

After you get that, then turn the system off, and back on by pressing power, then eject.

It should be jailbroken now. You can tell it is because you would see the install pack files folder on the game menu. Do NOT try to do the power/eject thing until you get the usb error on the ps3 screen. It would be useless to try until you get that far
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] unknown88:
i make it! Thx for your generous guideline and advice. I won't make it if no body tell me the exact procedures of jb!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] unknown88:
Help!! After I jail break the PS3. I tried to play dead rising 2 with a GTA4 game disc in the PS3 disk drive. But after loading the game in backup manager, the disc presented in XMB menu was still GTA4. Can somebody provide a psfreedom.ko that work in HTC touch diamond? Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kiweeboi:
HELP!

When I start up ps3 before JB it goes to black screen
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stinky_1:
does it boot up at all normally? If not you have prolly corrupted your hdd. I had that happen to me as well. there are guides online that tell you how to boot up the ps3 into safe mode. then do a system restore.

Saddly you will lose everything on the ps3. All your saves, everything!

Hope that helps

Problemswith backups

My problem is that i did my backups in external hard drive, but...

they works only if, for each backup, i insert the original blu ray.

Why?

What i'm doing wrong??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stinky_1:
sounds like you are not using the backup manager properly. Look at some of the guides online and make sure its all working correctly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sedat-007:
Is it possible to downgrade with this, or is there a way to downgrade with the Diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xt33nx:
same question here, but as seen on the psfreedom wiki, it does not wok, or does it?;p

Guess we'll have to wait a bit longer for the Diamond
[Droid Incredible General] pickleman77:
I'm sure it's not just me who has experienced this. Whenever anyone asks me what kind of phone I have, I reply, "Droid Incredible."

The responses range from:

"Is it incredible? Ha ha." to "That's pretty incredible! Ha ha."

Never anything other than a stupid punny response I've heard a thousand times.

I tried installing a new rom and upgrading the radio, but the problem persists... Does anyone have a fix?
[Droid Incredible General] Cronus1995:
I prefer saying "it's an Android"

Although my other favorite thing to say is "it's like an iphone, but better in every single way"
[Droid Incredible General] Jonathan062:
Tell them it's a google phone. It they cannot tell by looking at it your wasting your time.
[Droid Incredible General] TNS201:
Wow your problem sounds

incredibly

stupid! ;)

So how is installing a new ROM and radio gonna fix people making puns about your phone?
[Droid Incredible General] smw420:
As bad as that problem might be, it pales in comparison to having to bump charge. Its like we've been abandoned by HTC.
[Droid Incredible General] xmetl:

[Droid Incredible General] DeeBG:
I know on sites like Engadget people say "Yeah, I see a million iPhones on the subway but never an Android, Steve Jobs is God!" blah blah blah (I personally like some Apple products, but do these people really think Steve Jobs sits down and designs every single spec?). Anyway college started up again on the 7th for a lot of us and the short time I was on campus I saw 2 Incredibles (not counting the one in my pocket), what looked like a Droid X and a couple people rocking Desires. Besides some cash-strapped guy with a Cricket flip-phone, those were all the phones I saw.

I swear at least half of iPhone users buy an iPhone as a "status symbol" (FYI, I am not knocking the iPhone here, just the braindead people that want to be "in with the in crowd". /rant

Also I don't know if this was just a joke or if you really have dummies coming up saying this to you, but I would reply, while talking as fast as possible "It's an HTC Model ADR6300 with a 1GHZ Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor, 8GB of Internal Memory...." etc, etc, then start listening off all of the modifications you have made to it and finish with "... more commonly known by it's Verizon codename, the Droid Incredible.". Or if the person isn't worth the effort just say "it's an ADR6300" =p.

[Droid Incredible General] cooksalot:
Honestly? I beat them to it and tell them it's my Incredible, Droid Incredible. Then I proceed to tell them about my piece of crap Motorola Moto Q, and how it lost my entire phone book the night before my Incredible arrived. If I had not gone the long route, and backed it up to my outlook, then my outlook to google a few months before when we moved. Well you know the hard drive died the outlook back up was gone. Got my Incredible charged it booted it up the first time and VOILE! There was the back up from Google that I had forgot about! I had a phone book without any hassles. Talk about tears of joy. Over 200 contacts back! Yep, it's my Incredible, Droid Incredible. :D:D:D
[Droid Incredible General] cooksalot:
Better yet download the free tricorder app from the market and then turn it on when you tell them that. LOL!
[Droid Incredible General] jbh00jh:
Just roll your eyes and say , this phone is too fast for you to comprehend . :)
[Droid Incredible General] jager420:
hahahah i do the same ****.

And honesly AT&T is the real iphone killer. I would of bought one if they were at verizon. Now i got Android and in my opinion is a better OS. If iphone comes to verizon i still wont buy it im keeping with android now.
[Droid Incredible General] marcmarshall:
I say it's a new Android phone, it does everthing and more than an iphone, and I got it because I wanted to own a phone not rent one.
[Droid Incredible General] cooksalot:
I so agree with you, at this point I'm sick of iphone and AT&T even if it came to Verizon now I'd stick with android phones. Take that Steve!
[Droid Incredible General] jasek78:
when asked what kind of phone i'm using i simply reply "**** off" and it seems to do the trick! (individual results may vary) :P

Maybe I'll try that one and give you the results.
[Droid Incredible General] dbaps:
I saw an ad for the new Windows 7 phone, "a phone that you buy and can take to work." That's exactly the point. The security is just not there for me to use this phone at work. The IPhone is close, last version had encryption on the phone but did not communicate that way.

At least the Incredible can be remotely wiped now. There is a paper on all of the security requirements that need to be met somewhere...I hope Android starts to work more in this area so I can have just one phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masi0:
Hi,

I am using WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe from shipped-roms, however it has some flaws such as false in widgets as I have seen in pre versions.

Is there any other source of getting this rom as OTA was just few days ago?
[Android Software Development] ytsejam_:
hi, i have a Froyo HTC Desire there's a couple of thing I want to know.

I usually have a lot of correspondence via email (especially multiple gmail accounts) and i use my phone primarily when at home or on the go.

i set autosync and background data enabled all the time and set to update on very little intervals.

next, at work, i'll be relocated to a spot in the office that doesn't get any 3g/2g reception at all. and since i can access my mail through PC, i'm planning to just switch my phone to Flight mode while on my desk.

now my question. i've read a hundred times that Autosync eats a lot of jiuce. IF I put my phone in flight mode, and have no active connections or means to connect to any network, will Autosync still persist on connecting / syncing and drain my battery? or do i also have to manually turn background sync and autosync off?

if yes, is there an app that will disable Autosync persistence if flightmode is on or wifi/APN is off?

thanks in advance

[Android Software Development] bunt82:
Hi,

If I understand correctly you want to switch off any data communication of your phone.

I use a combination :

Sync Settings Version 1.0 - Free App

It places on your desktop a widget with 4 options.

wifi - on\off

Blu Tooth - on\off

Gps - on\off

Sync - Enable ..lets apps sync (incl Gmail.) Disable it disallows.

Brightness - quick controll over screen brightness

The second App I use is the DCSwitch - Free App

Creator described it best:

DCSwitch turns your data channel on/off to save battery power and/or bytes on a limited data plan.

Similar apps mangle the APN list of your phone, potentially leaving it with corrupt entries.

DCSwitch uses android's undocumented services to enable/disable the data connection in a clean, mean and concise manner.

With usig both of this apps ive been able to boost my battery life Alot. Also save some money on traffic.

Hope this helps you.

rgrds!

So, call me a retard, but after a ton of searching both these forums and google, I can't seem to figure out how to install icon packs such as mnml text and simp text by ultralinx. Any help would be appreciated.
[Android Themes] yasin12:
You cant actually change icons in the app drawer (correct me if im wrong) you use the icons for launcher pro docks or desktop visualiser etc

If you want to change icons on the launcher pro dock, hold diwn on the dock shortcut, click on change icon and select custom icon and choose your icon.

Hope that helps!

[Android Themes] DaJibbs:
Yes that's exactly what I want to do, but my question was what, exactly, I do with the zip files I've downloaded.
[Android Themes] djdiablo:
Not sure if this is the right answer to your question but I use an app called Better Cut to replace icons on my phone.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
HOW TO USE CUSTOM ICONS

First of all, you need Launcher Pro and Desktop Visualizer.

You can get both of these at the marked for free. You might want to unlock Launcher Pro Plus as it has some cool features and widgets.

WinRAR is pretty much mandatory.

1) Get a hold of some icons. They usually come in .zip format, so you'll have to unzip them. You can do this by right clicking and pressing "Extract here".

2) Now that you've got a folder, you can delete the .zip file. Connect your phone to the computer and copy the folder onto your SD card.

3) Find your icons in either gallery or a file explorer

If you've got LauncherPro and want to change the dock icons, you do it like this:

- Long press on the icon you wish to change

- Choose custom icon from the menu

- Find your icon in either Gallery or FileManager

- Done!

Long press your homescreen, choose widgets scroll to Desktop Visualizer, choose a size - Find your icon, choose your application, tweak the settings.

And you're done. You've now made a shortcut on your homescreen with a custom icon.

Hope this helped.
[Android Themes] rekekjeks:
Or you could choose 'shortcut'.

I've found that this makes the icons look smoother,

but I'm not sure what's the difference =P
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I don't see any difference. But whatever, haha. :D
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
Or, HOW TO DO I IN ADW.LAUNCHER:

1. Have the icon image you want to use on your sdcard.

2. Long-Press on empty space on the home screen

3. Choose Custom Shortcut.

3. Press "Pick your activity"

4. Choose what you want the shortcut to do.

5. Press the icon.

6. Choose "Select Picture"

7. Find and select icon

8. Rename if wanted

9. Done

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Rikua:
Okay, where do I begin? The PSfreedom was released for droid and a friend said I can use one of her old droids which was 2.1update1. So in my haste to flash this thing I used EasyRoot, got it rooted (of course made a nandroid backup at least), installed cyanogen 6 (made a backup of this using clockwork recovery), installed the wrong kernel, then was stuck at a loop screen. Well I kept trying and trying to boot it to Clockworkmod Recovery and nothing was working until about the time I gave up and set it down...and WHAM! Clockworkmod Reovery! So I went to nandroid, restore and clicked on my clockwork cyanogen backup. And thus I was stuck on an endless loop of the Droid eye and the Droid logo. I assumed something went wrong and tried booting into clockwork recovery to no avail. Then it finally let me into the normal recovery and I decided I should find a way to start from scratch. Now I wiped EVERYTHING and still I have the endless loop, PLUS it wont let me update to another official firmware via update.zip.

This is the error it gives me:

-- Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Installing update...

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

Can anyone help me figure out what the bejeezus is wrong? :eek:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lebmb:
i would suggest u check to see if there is an option to "allow install of update.zip" and click on it before you do the update. i know sprecovery has it

if all else fails, flash the 2.1 sbf file and start over, its really easy
[Desire General] piumach:
Hi guys,

since two days ago I'm not be able to use anymore the hotspot function of my desire if I try to connect with a pc with windows xp (I've tried with 3 different pc and all of them stuck when they try to acquire the ip address from the desire, resulting after 1 minute in a message "connection has limited access" or something similar, sorry but it's written in Italian and I do not know exactly the english translation).

If I try to connect to the desire with a laptop in which vista is installed, the connection works properly.

I do not know if it could be a useful information, if I enable on the desire the password for the connection, all the laptops with xp are not able to understand the a password is required.

Please note that till 2 days ago I was using daily the hotspot function on my laptop with xp and I've never had a problem, always connecting at the first attempt.

Do you have any idea about which could be the cause of the problem?

Regards,

Nicola
[Desire General] Dragooon123:
Are you trying to connect to the Desire with WPA2 security? If so XP has issues with that, try without any sort of security.
[Desire General] piumach:
No, if I set some security options it does not work, I tried with no password and no way....
[Desire General] piumach:
UPDATE: since my desire is rooted via unrevoked 3.2, I made a full backup of the phone with the recovery mode, then I wiped all data and I tried the hotspot function before reapplying the backup, and it worked well also with xp!

Then I reinstall the backup and it stopped again.

Now the point is, it should be an application that has modified in someway the system settings?
[Desire General] FreudsCAT:
Working here without issues,

rooted desire with stock official HTC 2.10.405.2 OTA update

connecting to Windows XP with WPA/TKIP security
[Desire General] piumach:
Finally I got hotspot wi-fi function working as usual on windows xp too, I made an hard reset and re-installed all the application, one by one.

Every time I installed an application I checked if the hotspot was still working and I made a full backup, just in case.

Till now I've note yet found which program has caused the problem...

Anybody know where the factory tones are located and more importantly, anybody have a zip of all those audio files? U reaaaaaally don't want to do a HR right now.

[Fascinate Android Development] wonsae:
I keep getting permission errors when I try this. I found another way to update busybox but the script doesn't work
[Fascinate Android Development] DeezNotes:
With the current limited root I have, I could not write to /system/bin. I just woke up and I didn't feel like figuring that out, so I copied stuff to the sdcard, then I used cat to write the file to /system/bin as shown above (steps below). I would suggest before starting, download Quadrant Standard from the Market, run the full benchmark and see where your device is on the list. Mine was below the Galaxy S before starting.

This is what I did (on Mac) to get busybox in place:

./adb shell
su
mkdir /sdcard/lag_fix/
exit
exit
./adb push ~/Downloads/busybox /sdcard/lag_fix/
./adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/lag_fix/busybox > /system/bin/busybox
cd /system/bin/
chmod 755 busybox
ls -l (check the permissions)
exit
exit

Now busybox is in it's right place with the right permissions.

Now, I have to manually execute the steps in the lagfixme.bat file, because I'm not on a PC and I don't feel like re-writing the script, because I just woke up.

Before pushing the files, I edited lines 35 and 36 in the createlagfix.txt file to fit my sdcard folder path. I like to keep my SD card organized, so I put all the files from the zip into the /sdcard/lag_fix folder I created above. Here is what my line 35 and 36 look like before I push createlagfix.txt to the SD card:

busybox cp /sdcard/lag_fix/playlogos1 /system/bin/playlogos1

busybox cp /sdcard/lag_fix/userinit.sh /system/bin/userinit.sh

Now, I know the folder paths below looks ugly, but that's because I just pushed the files directly from my Downloads folder. Hopefully you guys can see what I did here. If not, let me know and I'll edit the post to read better. These are basically the lines in the batch file written out manually for Mac users:

./adb kill-server
./adb push ~/Downloads/RyanZAEXT2LagFix\ ALPHA\ 1/createlagfix.txt /sdcard/lag_fix/createlagfix.sh
./adb push ~/Downloads/RyanZAEXT2LagFix\ ALPHA\ 1/playlogos1 /sdcard/playlogos1
./adb push ~/Downloads/RyanZAEXT2LagFix\ ALPHA\ 1/userinit.sh /sdcard/userinit.sh

./adb shell su -c "/system/bin/sh /sdcard/lag_fix/createlagfix.sh"

Once the process is complete, run Quadrant Standard again and you'll see your device as the fastest one in the list.

Many thanks to Dirrk!!
[Fascinate Android Development] kvaughan:
Worked just fine for me.

Thanks for this and your root instructions!
[Fascinate Android Development] distortedloop:
Guys, is the phone actually laggy, or are you just assuming it's laggy because of complaints with the other models? I mean, you've only had them a day or two, right? Took me longer to notice lag than that on my i9000.

I'm tempted to grab a Fascinate, but all the issues I've had with the i9000 and it's a tough call.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
I've seen it lag sometimes under high load, but I thought that was normal.

I've tested it with GroceryIQ, to compare against the last 30 seconds or so of this video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10ox35vMS78 ) and the Fascinate is nowhere near as bad at lagging. That video was 8/21/2010, so they may have updated their application by now, not sure.

Edit - Anyway, it works just fine. Nice work Dirrk! 2,191 ! :) :)
[Fascinate Android Development] faspalma:
Yep, worked like a charm! My Quadrant score jumped to 2125 after the fix. Phone is much snappier too. Thanks Dirrk!
