[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PoTi_96:
how do i "install" the update.zip (R1FB001)?

what do i need to install it?

//

is it possible to get a jailbreak like on the iPhone?

i know there are some apps like APKtor or APToide...

thx for answers!

remember: i'm a newbie on Android so be nice ^^ :p :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] brat81:
At the moment you can put it on your SD Card and let it collect dust since we need the bootloader cracked and working before we can flash update.zip files.

If it's a theme you could always try and adb push it
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PoTi_96:
Oh.... xD

It's a custom firmware, not a theme

How many devs are working on the cracked bootloader?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] brat81:
2 or 3 devs i think been working on it for that last 3 months
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PoTi_96:
Thx, hope they'll get it soon ^^

But...

We'll get 2.1 this month, so is it possible to use the cracked bootloader they're working on now on 2.1 too?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] brat81:
well once the botloader is cracked you can put any version of android on new or old
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PoTi_96:
Thanks!

I heard that some guys got android 2.x on the iPhone

Now they are able to choose iOS or android at boot

Is it able to run iOS and android on the x10 with the cracked bootloader?

Would be nice =D

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] brat81:
Thankfuly no you can't run iOS on a x10

And android on a iPhone isn't really that great

Would it be at all possible to flash the beta release of froyo for galaxy s to the epic using ODIN, like as on the i9000?
[Epic 4G Android Development] WhiteWidows:
Try it and let us know :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fixter:
I really doubt it.

But hey, hit me up with the instructions and I'll help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjree:
No. They're are too many differences between the two (drivers, modem, one being CDMA and the other GSM, etc...) to keep doing it from working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Don't even attempt it....you wll brick your device
[Epic 4G Android Development] bubby323:
It didn't brick, it didn't even flash the fs all the way It stopped immediately after so much progress, and I don't really care about bricking my phone I can just reflash with odin. I'm working on editing the fs to flash on the epic. Replcing certain files with ones from the system dup.

Hi, I just download Fresh 3.2 with Clockwork Recovery but I need Amon Ra to use the Updater. I tried following Amon Ra's method he posted but neither one works (Idk how to do the first one). Using the terminal app on my phone after I type in "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img" it says "error opening /sdcard/recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img: No such file or directory "

The file is in the root of my SD card so why isn't it recognizing it?

Nevermind I got it. The command wasmissing a "-".
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
For future reference, it's even easier to just download ROM Manager and use that to install RA. It installed the latest version for me yesterday, no problem.

My Rom manager uses Clockwork???!!1 Which Rom manager uses Amon Ra?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You you can still use clockwork with amon_ra, you just can't backup with it. If you have the premium, you can still download roms, or use it to go to recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muellersirch:
There is really no need to use a ROM manager at all, just do a little reading and learn to flash things manually (good place to start is my post here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/18690-alot-of-the-same-questions-for-google-apps-market/ see post #2). The instructions are specific to cyanogen, but will work for any rom. no need to flash the gapps package if you are using a sense rom.

Way to revive an old thread btw.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iddqds:
Problem is when you rename recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan file into recovery.img you don't realize that recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan file has already an .img file extension. By mistake you rename recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img as recovery.img.img

Because your operating system hides file extensions as default.

Just rename recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan file as image only.

I know i am a supreme human being. :D

I'm trying to replace an apk with a skinned apk, but I can't, because root explorer refuses to mount anything as r/w, only r/o. No matter how many times I press the button, or hold it, etc.

Anything I should try to fix?

Try a reboot. Thats usually what it needs

i asked this question on another thread but figured i'd bring it here since it's more on topic with this one. i'm running stock 2.2 and trying to delete the FB app in order to replace it with a transparent widget. with root explorer i tryed erasing facebook.apk but was unsuccessful. i was directed to mount it as R/W. should i have mount options even tho my phone isn't rooted? i ask because i didn't have the option to change to r/w. i went ahead and searched xda and read a few different threads but didn't find anyone asked about not having the option. i also searched google and viewed a few youtube video's just to find out what they were describing to me (since i didn't see the option). i was going to reinstall the app but apon uninstalling was also refunded my $. i'm sure it may be a stupid question but i figured i'd ask it anyways since at the moment i don't seem to have any other use for root explorer. thnx.

[Android Apps and Games] k4v2n:
my original question (on another thread) was how do i uninstall FB running stock 2.2. the answer i received from a member was to use root explorer to delete it. being that i stated i was running stock 2.2 and i was instructed to use root explorer to delete it, i figured i didn't need to be rooted. ya i know it says "root" explorer...i also read a few comments in the app page (on the market) that stated "best file explorer weather rooted OR NOT". looks like i was wrong. either way thx for the help and the quik response

What would be the worst that can happen? Im going to try installing clockwork then flashing the theme? seeing how they are sense based would that be silly?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VinceOB:
Ummmm im pretty sure the Epic isnt Sense based.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjree:
I'm not sure what the worst case is, but if it does install, you'll likely be caught in a bootloop on start up. Although both android devices, they have their own framework. I'd wait for someone to create a theme template for the Epic before messing with it.

Heya all,

I'm actually using Pays' rom cause i love the sense UI and love the custom dock used by this rom.

But i'm a bit bored of this 7 homescreen and this scrolling wallpaper.

Is there a way to reduce the homescreen to 1 and hold the wallpaper too ?

I used launcher pro but i can't use sense widget with it.

Thanks for help in advance.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzdcoy:
Its not a perfect fix, but cant you just not use the homescreens 1,2,3,5,6,7; have all that you want in screen 4?

for the wallpaper, add some black to the left and right of , this will then make the wallpaper pop up in the centre of the scene and the black will only be seen on screens 1,2,3,5,6,7 (which you do not use)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nuron:
After using many WINMO phones with my 5.99 T-Zones, I wanted to try out an Android phone so I used my friend's myTouch for a little bit just to see what it was all about. However, T-Mobile detected this and switched my cheap data plan to the more expensive Android one, and reverting back took a lot of work.

My question is: if I use these Android ROMs, will TMO do the same thing again, or because the ROM is still booting under WINMO, that they won't detect it and I can use data without a problem?

What happened? We do sync to the same two Gmail accounts. Does Goggle then d/l your apps to any phone that your registered on?

That could be bad news. Say I want to download FIND_me_a Girlfriend or something. Seriously not every app I want ghosted on every phone. Is this a known issue, is this a feature that can be turned off?

Thanks for any input.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thom_house:
Keep a copy of the titanium backup apk on your sd card. After you flash a rom, skip the account set up when your phone first boots into the new rom. Install titanium from your SD card, restore your apps, then add your Google account.

Press the four corners of the screen when it says to setup account and it will automaticly skip the account setup crap. Awesome!!! Press the top left corner first then go clockwise. So the second corner is the top right and the third is the bottom right just above the sign in button and the fourth is just above the button on the left bottom.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierreken:
Install the AndroidSDK on your C driver (C:\AndroidSDK)

start a command prompt session (Start => Run => cmd)

Type cd\

Type cd AndroidSDK\Tools

Now you can type adb reboot recovery

That will reboot your phone in recovery mode

You can do the same with adb reboot download to go into download mode.

You need to have the Samsung USB drivers installed correctly.

Make sure you know a thing about rooting, flashing before you go into any of these modes. They can damage your expensive phone very quickly.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Hi, the stock rom came with a automatic setting for data networks. When you flash another rom you have to set a connection manually.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Di1Ly:
I have install and run Psfreedom on my old Diamond GSM.

I dont have PS3 right now.

But it looks like working cos.... when I type "insmod psfreedom.ko" and press enter I have next line "#" no any errors and messages.

And at that moment my PC recognize "Unknow USB device". So I think that something is emulating on my Diamond.

One more thing!

When I copy file "modules-2.6.27.46-01162-g741ab49-dirty.tar" to SD

I have renamed it to "modules-2.6.27.46-01162-g741ab49.tar" and replace existed old one.

two problems...

why i must connect usb to pc when i start haret?

i have cryogen 6 installed it's a problem?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Chatty:
Ok, since the kernel-only version is too fast and psfreedom.ko is "optimized" for slow Diamond I realized I had to load OS, too. Thus I again changed initrd.gz to autoload psfreedom.ko (I never got the keyboard to work in telnet) and let XDandroid boot. Then after trying and changing through my USB cables I was eventually successful with the original Sony USB controller cable.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] baraata:
Many thanks after several tries i did not succeed to get the terminal working.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bastardociccio:
if you have made a "light" xdandroid boot that autoload psfreedom.ko, can you share it ?

or explain how to make it by myself

:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Chatty:
You boot into linux on your PC. There you'll be unpacking initrd.gz:

cat initrd.gz | cpio -id

Then you insert those two lines in the end before it switches to rootfs:

echo "Loading PSfreedom..."

insmod $card/psfreedom.ko

Then you gotta repack initrd.gz:

find . | cpio -H newc -o | gzip -9 >initrd.gz

Done!

The light version does not work unfortunately - meaning if you skip loading into android your Diamond is too fast and you'll always get "Unknown USB device".
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zulm:
thanks for this, worked for me, don't need to manually load psfreedom any more.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Anthbs:
Could you slow the phone down so its not too fast for the light version?

I remember reading that you could overclock the phone in the startup.txt. Could you underclock it so it would be more stable with psfreedom?(not having much luck with the usb error XD)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Chatty:
Underclocking is a real good idea... you can try that yourself by the way. When changing the init script remove those lines switching to rootfs instead write there:

while true; do

echo "Idleing..."

sleep 5

done

Then all you need is haret.exe, startup.txt, zImage and initrd.gz. Then start underclocking bit by bit (setting in startup.txt).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Anthbs:
Only got my phone 3 days ago. So wasn't sure about anything. Ill try it later tonight and see what results i can get. Also exam leave tommorow so i can try then to :P. I might need some help making the light version but ill try anyway.
