[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichmondoUK:
hi how can we customize android on first boot. ie change settings to how we want, like enable data roaming, wifi settings. can this be done in a script in init.d folder? lots of settings are in databases so how can we change the values in them
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnarlyc:
Some things can be changed in /system/build.prop

Others in the init.rc and init.devicenamehere.rc, which are in the ramdisk. And some ROMs do have a init.d/*, but that's not standard AOSP.

Are you trying to change a running ROM or customize one for flashing?

For flashing a new own customized rom, how we can made roms, have ap2sd??? ( should we add anything special??

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svenvaeth:
I am following this forum since 2 years now, when I got my X1 in Dec 2008. Finally, I found a very good working ROM here. But I reset my phone and wanted to use a newer ROM.

But any ROM I tried sucks. I am working for over one week now on this issue :-) It's quite annoying.

All I want is a ROM which uses WM 6.5.3 or rather 6.5.1. I wanna use SPB Shell 2 not 3.5.x, because it is too slow.

Is there anybody here who can recommend a ROM that is working well on his X1???

Sorry for yammering =)

I need a reliable cell in 2 weeks...gotta fix that problem now, finally.

Thanks for ya help

I've being trying with a number of apps/widgets lately and have found some of them have a big impact on my power usage. I think we should make a list of these apps/widgets just so ppl are aware of these things.

I'm currently trying 3G watchdog and Time Widget. I felt having them impacted my battery, anyone else having the same issue?

If we could make a list here, that'd be great!

List:

- Advanced Task Killer (this made a HUGE difference to my battery usage).
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] lufc:
Thats a good idea but i find some chew the battery and don't chew the battery on other devices take BATTERY LEFT WIDGET a lot of people use this i did and it drained my battery now its gone I'm OK

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chief1978:
Anyone,

In ROM Manager I choose to update the Recovery and it changes to 2.5.0.7.

If I reboot from ROM manager into Recovery it is 2.5.0.7

However if I power down and come into recovery via Fastboot, it is 2.5.0.1.

So I assume when you reboot it somehow loads the 2.5.0.7 (i would guess this is why I have a update.zip in root after this option)

My question is, how can I permanently update the recovery vs this on the go method?

Thanks,

Daniel
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
That method only does a "fake flash" of that particular Recovery which ROM Manager can use. It doesn't touch your original flashed Recovery.

The latest Unrevoked will let you update to the latest Clockwork Mod Recovery permanently: http://unrevoked.com/#desire

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanwal236:
In the new leaked rom for the Vibrant, there is a speech to text button in swype. But I have been playing around with other forms of speech to text on my phone and I am unsure if I somehow overwrote swype's STT. If anyone have the new rom or has updated the swype on their Vibrant with the one that includes the button,

Can you use speech to text while being offline (no wifi/3g connection active)?

I am unsure if I was able to use it before offline or not, if you can, i'd have to somehow fix swype, if you can't, that would be just a real bummer..

[Captivate General] Kaik541:
if you can't boot into recovery, you may not want to be flashing ROMs since recovery and download are how you recover from failed flashes. make sure the device is actually incapable of getting into recovery or download, and if it can't, get an exchange. as for using a mac, you'll have to download the android sdk and use adb and write "./adb reboot recovery"

[Legend Themes and Apps] grandioso:
How do I change the default phone app to dialerPro ? When I click on a missed call icon in notification bar, it opens up in the default phone app. When I first clicked it it ask me which app to open - I chose dialerOne and checked "always use this", but it opened in the phone app instead.

I tried to clear defaults in application settings, but it says "no defaults are set"

So any ideas ?

Anyone tried to remove the default phone app ?
[Legend Themes and Apps] grandioso:
So I have to try it on my own, then ? Oh, man...

I've read somewhere that it was impossible on froyo to replace the default phone app, might have been on the DialerOne's description

Hi,

I searched the forums;

I searched the Internet - still no answer.

So please avoid comments like - try to seach harder.

I have already running HD2 with Froyo.

I got my friend's Raphael and downloaded the thing which is to be placed in andboot.

After that I tried to locate the haret and startup.txt. Yes, I went to the wiki, found the link for the startup.txt which lead me to an empty page.

So, please tell me where is the startup.txt for Raphael?

Is the hared from HD2 compatible with Raphpael?

Thank you
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Preggy:
Hi orlean

I take it you unzipped the package you downloaded?

If so, take a look at the "\andboot\STARTUP CONFIG\"-folder. There you'll find several startup.txt's.

You should find haret itself already placed in the "\andboot\"-folder.

If this is not the case try downloading the following full bundle with everything you need included:

Regards

Preggy
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] daeinnor:
I'm not sure if starting a new thread is the right thing to do since there is a specific thread for Android related querries here.

Anyway, if you downloaded babijoee's XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.FRX01.17.09.10.UPDATE_PACKAGE.7z, then the the startup.txt is in the Startup Config folder. If your friends device is a raph100 then it's in the Raph folder.

Haret is in the root of the archive. It should be the same as HD2's but, would you mind uploading it here so we can test? I heard that pongster's ROM uses a newer version.

edit:

Beat me by two minutes Preggy, but different approach to the solution.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhypr:
Yesterday I had a problem with my Desire. I was using Pinky but I wanted to try out LeeDroid. I made a nandroid backup and flashed LeeDroid. I didn't really see any big advantage over Pinky so I wanted to restore the backup. Everything went ok, but my Desire got stuck on the HTC bootscreen. After a while I took out the battery and tried again, but with the same result. The only thing I could think of then was to flash LeeDroid again, and that worked.

So I am now running on LeeDroid but my installed apps on the SD are not picked up by LeeDroid. I don't know if they should be, but that appdata is now wasting space on my SD.

So in short, my questions are:

Why did my nandroid get stuck in boot?

What files on my SD are from the previous rom's apps (and safe to wipe)?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heppieboeddah:
No idea why Nandroid restore didn't work. Maybe a bad backup.

What files on the sdcard do you mean? The ones on the ext-partion? Or the fat32 partition?

Best you should do if you like to reflash the Leedroid, is doing a full-wipe before flashing. The ext-partiotion will be cleared again. The files on the sdcard are not a problem.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhypr:
Sorry I posted in the wrong section, I must have clicked the wrong section on accident.

I did wipe before I installed LeeDroid, but I'm not sure of what's still on my SD. There is a folder called Android/data that has a few applications in it (some that I didn't install on this rom) and one simply called data that also has some apps in it. This is on the fat32 partition. I guess the ext partition was wiped, meaning that the apps from the Pinky rom were removed? Is it safe to remove those two folders?

What I'm most concerned of is the nandroid backup not working. You're saying it's just bad luck?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heppieboeddah:
In that dir, some data is stored from applications. You might delete the content of the data. Nandroid shouldt be working ok from the recovery. Do a nandroid+ext backup before flashing.

While once again needlessly flashing stuff on my phone I lost SMS with the Cyanogen6 Snap kernel with Snap Turbo. From what I read I decided I had to reflash a stock rom to regain my ability to receive SMS. A flash of the update file has left me stuck in the bootloader. I had thought I good having used Unrevoked a few weeks ago. My Hboot was updated and is -S. When I turn the phone on it gets stuck on the white htc screen. Same when I try to boot into recovery. So I need to know how to reflash my phone with a stock rooted rom so I can start over. Shell commands work for fastboot but I am getting remote:not allowed responses when I try and flash recovery.
