I think it needs to be pointed out that this alone won't work if you are like me and have removed apps from the phone. All those apps must be restored in addition to reverting to stock kernel before the OTA update can be applied. At least that's how I understand it. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate step-by-step tutorials like this for noobs like myself ... this made things a lot easier since some of the stuff (files, instructions, etc.) was all over the place.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KiloJKilo:
would seem that way because I removed the alarmclock to start and when i try to run update.zip from sd it fails when checking current system @ /system/app/AlarmClock.odex

i tried rerooting and reinstalling alarm clock using the backup from titanium. says it is successful but i do not find it in my apps drawer. it still fails there too..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
Titanium backup does not restore apps in /system. You have to restore those by hand.

Im officially struggling, undid the root then copy/paste the update to the sdcard, renamed it. It unzips but says its failed to open /sdcard/update.zip(no such file or directory)...suggestions?

I know that in the step it said to copy it to the root on the sd but im am very green to this stuff, and didnt see a folder marked that, therefore I just copied it to the sd card

I can't get Clockwork to flash now. I walked through the steps...I did the remount crap and ran the bat and it rebooted the phone but when i reboot into recovery it goes to the normal recovery screen. Now if I try to redo it it does not recognize the remount rw and i can't get anywhere with it and i'm stuck with no clockwork.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
This part is unnecessary because the recovery zip comes with adb built in
[Epic 4G Android Development] Spectral8x:
is there a manual way to push this to the phone? These one clicks never seem to work for me ever it's just easier to do it myself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bubby323:
No you must do this in order to get clockwork.

got it, was missing apps! (got red of amazonmp3, and other things i wont use) had to start from scratch and recover everything, then update, then root, works fine!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Not really...you run the root, and then you run clockwork. I just did it, and I'm about to do it again because im testing noobnl's new uninstaller

ERROR: Device offline

I am about to lose my mind, I have been trying to unroot using noobnls oneclick method to no avail, been trying for 3 hours now. i have installed drivers, uninstalled drivers and vise versa. rebooted computer and phone. ever once in a while I get that the device is online via adb?! usually if I type the comand "adb devices" right after plugging in the phone, it reports that the phone is online, then when I run the batch file... I get the device offline error... What am I missing? I have tried different usb ports also

I would love to start flashing a rom but the recovery doesn't have a nandroid option for me...

all it shows is

reboot system now

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

Its weird too because my volume buttons work as up and down and the home button works as the enter. I am starting to thing that this isn't the clockwork recovery, but i guess ill try to do the steps again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
Yeah...you're I stock recovery not clockwork
[Epic 4G Android Development] puppetmstr:
yea i just figured that out lol. I think the remount rw didnt work for 31. I am now flashing 32 beta and see what i get.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vazquezcmp:
Update worked beautifully. But, for some reason I'm still getting the notifications. Anybody know how to turn them off?
[Epic 4G Android Development] wonderhunt:
Once in a whle, I got the similar error, I would then unmount the sdcard from the phone and unplug usb, plug to usb port an mount the sdcard as disk drive from the notification pull down, it had worked every time with that error message. Also note that there should be only the phone plugged into the computer thru usb, do not plug any other usb device in any other usb port, especially portable drive.

i guess it has something to do with not enough power to the usb port, you may also try using a PC, it happened on 2 of my laptops. but since I got it to work using my work-around, I did not try it on my PC.

im thinking this might have to do with the custom theme...Epic Black Class 1.6 as it removes launcher.apk from the system files and replaces it with ADWlauncher.apk... so i tried putting the onld laun cher.apk back in and then flashing the zip file and the update.zip still gets the same error? =/ this sucks

[Epic 4G Android Development] crake001:
It actually doesn't replace launcher.apk as of version 1.2.apk, and version 1.2 places stock launcher.apk back into /system/app/ . But if you went from v1.1 straight to v1.4 or above then it does not touch launcher.apk. so that could be causing it. Anyways you could always try odin and just start fresh. Hope this helps.

fix protected apps?

If we follow this will it resolve the missing protected apps issue? Every time I flash back to stock, install di07, and root I lose access to protected apps. The inability to update/install protected apps is a deal breaker.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rmartinez2:
Want to be sure

I did the following and everything seems to be ok but it was nothing like what was illustrated (seemed a little hard for me and I'm completely new to android). I didnt have any issue with the one click methods prior to the dio7 update. I used Odin to revert completely back to stock. I then let that stock run for about 5 minutes, after which it prompted me to update so I installed it knowing it was the Di07 update. This also installed with no issue. After it installed I Used an XP machine to install the andromeda 1.3.0 one click root kernal. This too installed with no issue. I then grabbed the latest clockwork v 32 and ran that the same way as all the other one click methods which was with the run.bat file. I restarted the phone. It shows the andromeda kernal, it shows the dio7 update still applied and I can reboot into clockwork recovery, make backups restore etc.

What I'm saying is I didnt do all this adb stuff and commands prior to doing the clockwork and I still seemed to have kept the Di07. Did I miss something by doing it this way or was this only necessary for the clockwork v31?????

Thanks for any help in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FuzzyLumpkins:
Yeah... I had 1.1 then 1.2 then went straight to 1.6 I fixed it tho and got andromeda/1.2ghz kernel/epic black class 1.7.. And loving it =P
[Epic 4G Android Development] QuietFreak:
Will the DEOXED-ed files compatible with the DI07 update?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jimmyz:
From what I understand you are okay although Noobnl who made the andromeda kernal states that this may actually make the device slower (see here)

Another option is go stock via odin- and then follow the directions in the first post- adding the adb commands are to help the one click clockmod installer work properly (they may or may not be needed with the latest version)- they will not hurt and were essential in my case to get the clockmod recovery successfully installed- hope the helps

hi everyone,

I installed the keybHardconfig app and it is excellent. However, I might have messed up my windows key since it does not display the start menu anymore. I have cookie energy rom installed and do not have the windows key remapped.

Ive tried to find where is the "start menu" folder located and created a .lnk to direct my windows key using keyboard config, but when I do this it takes me to the file explorer "start menu" folder and not the cool screen I had before with the programs icons.

The weirdest thing is that after a softreset my windows key works again but just one time but if you click the windows key again nothing happens...

any help?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diabolic:
Heres the story.

I got my HTC desire a few days ago, and immediately rooted using unrevoked2 and then put the CM6 Rom on it.

I've noticed a few things:

- In 1 hr, with no IM programs, web browsing, or GPS my network usage meter said I used over 2MB of data.

-I can IM and search the Android Market with Wifi but can't surf or download from the Market. If I switch to network data I can.

-Ive had to do two battery pulls today. The first time the screen was unresponsive, and the second time my phone froze. I hit the "power button" and got a system error. When I hit ok, the phone showed no service. A battery pull fixed that.

In 5hrs my battery went from 78% to 32%. I did not surf or IM, or use any apps (other than network monitor apps), and made 1 30 second phone call.

-WIFI is on, BT is on, GPS is on. Network location is off.

Because of this I'd like to go back to stock and get a benchmark or at least see if the "issues" stick around. I'm running hboot .83 and the rom was 1.29. The phone has been unlocked, but was originally for Telus (not sure if that means its unbranded or not. I have absolutely nothing on the phone that I am concerned about saving. I did not make a gold card for this either. (Starting to think this was a bad thing.

If I revert back using the stock HTC rom, and then I want to go back to CM6 am I starting from scratch again? IE has it been unrooted, and is the bootloader locked again, or do I just have to reinstall CM6?

Thanks in advance. I know questions of this variety have been asked before but I can't find anything regarding my boot loader version and rom version specifically.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diabolic:
Can anyone help me with this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
FWIW once you rooted, you should've made a Nandroid backup of your original ROM which would have made it much easier to switch back, but that's by the bye.

Why not just install another Sense ROM from Recovery rather than go back to your original ROM?

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diabolic:
Can you suggest one that is close to stock. I know it sounds crazy but basically CM6 is murder on my battery. Within 2 hours of powering up and very little usage (browsing and im'ing) im down to 80%. I'd like to go back to stock to benchmark it to see if its a hardware issue, or a software issue.

That said, I also liked the stock UI as bizarre as that sounds.

And just to confirm, its too late to make a gold card now?

At $50 you might as well get the seidio 3500 from amazon. I also advise you to use an external wall charger if you plan on using any other battery besides the htc stock.

They are literally ALL OVER ebay, and they are pretty much all the same. Just look at the seller rating and feedback. If they have a high rating and mostly positive feedback, youre safe. Plus, it's not that big of a risk, you're only talking $10-20.

These are the 1500 mah batts + charger I ordered

And these are the 3000 mah batts
[Networking] zond:
I have just created an app that listens on the microphone and sends the audio stream to a defined host and port via a udp socket.

It also listens on the same socket to fetch packets and play them in the speaker.

This works fine if both phones are in the same WiFi network, of course. It also works fine if one phone is in a WiFi network and the other is connect to the mobile internet.

But it does not work if both phones are connected to mobile internet.

Well, one might say, they are firewalled. But what I am trying to do amounts essentially to udp hole punching, and the fact that it worked between WiFi and mobile internet shows that the mobile internet side is (at least in that case) susceptible to that technique.

The only conclusion I can draw (since both phones happen to have the same carrier) is that the carrier has a firewall that allows RELATED/ESTABLISHED (to speak iptables lingo) udp packets UNLESS they come from the same carrier. I have no idea why, but I can't think of any other reasons it would work like this. Perhaps they want to stop people from communicating peer to peer?

Anyway, has anyone else tried something like this? What are your experiences? Is it at all possible? Just with some carriers? Or do I need to use some other trick that I didn't think of?
[Networking] Volker1:
Download SIPdroid from the market?

All carriers have firewalls and/or NAT, and the ones I know don't allow incoming connections. Can you connect from WiFi -> mobile? Mobile->WiFi is easy.
[Networking] zond:
Oh, I forgot about SIPDroid. I have tried it before, but never with calling a phone in the same carrier network.

Have you tried it? Did it work? And are you sure that the SIP gateway did not direct the streams through a SIP proxy? Many SIP providers do that (at least the ones I worked at), since SIP quite often fails to connect two firewalled phones to each other.

And regarding your question: My app does not do any client connecting to a server - it is two peers directing their UDP streams at each other - neither is server or client.

To do this mod you wouldnt delete the original png...you need to replace it with the modded png file.

Sorry it was a long day yesterday and today was no better, anyways, what i meant by editing the .png file was i took the "status_bar_header_background.9.png" file out of the res folder that was in the framework-res.apk using winrar. i added a couple of images to the bar then re saved it. it was 480x85 when i started and when i re saved it. thats what i meant by physical size. The file size was 51kb when i started and 181kb when i finished. i then dragged the edited file into winrar into the same location as the original file then pushed the framework-res.apk back to the phone. thats when i get the force close errors. When the forced close errors finally stop i can see my edited work on the bar. I do like your slide bar! I want to do that next when i get this working.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lookylookitzadam:
Basically, what I am doing is:

1. pull the apk file from the phone.

2. right click the apk > right click > 7zip > open archive

3. Navigate to res/drawable-hdpi-v4

4. replace a .png that I created in photoshop named status_bar_header_background.9.png with the similar named file in the res/drawable-hdpi-v4 folder.

push it back to system/framework/

adb reboot.

Then it just boot loops... Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SniperDroid:
sounds about right to me. I do the same. When replacing the png I click the one in the file, then right click it and select "insert" then it opens a dialog box to select the new png, then I push it and reboot.
