Hello everyone

How do I extract the radio from my Desire before updating it please?

I can backup/restore my current ROM of course: but there appears to be guides only to upload a radio, not back it up.

I have 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09 installed and would like to save it (just in case) without relying on a download (which keeps failing) from shippedroms

Thanks in advance

Edit: please close, in wrong subforum. Sorry.

Removed the part about the OWNER_SPIN, apparently was using an experimental version of my kernel which has an additional OWNER_SPIN sched_feature which makes the numerical value of 24188 incorrect.

Most likely you have no idea what I am talking this was just one epic fail on my side - you can ignore it. Just read the first post it is now updated.

[HD2 General] Devils1stBorn:
Hey guys, I've been playing around with these Android builds, but I think I need a better understanding of the software in my phone. I have an idea for the most part.

OS: 5.2.2182 (21892.5.0.89)

Manila: 2.5.20121412.2

Rom: 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE

Rom date: 04/28/10

Radio: 2.10.50.26

Protocol: 15.39.50.07U

Now, the OS version throws me off a bit. I know I'm running WinMo 6.5, so what's up with that detail?

None of the Android builds work well with me phone. Major issues, especially with sound. Darkstorm release is one of the builds I tried due to personal preference, and it was just too buggy.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Its normal.

Its because 'windows mobile 6.5' is built on 'Windows CE 5.0' version 5.2.
[HD2 General] gaarry:
You could try flashing a new Rom/radio as people who have done this fixed the issue.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragmark:
Hi all,

I am typing my SMS with SlideIT in Croatian, of course with unicode special characters. I need a fix which will send the text without these special unicode signs to send it like a normal 160 characters instead of 70 characters SMS (i read somewere there existis an app for that, but can' find it) :(

I tried to switch off the UNICODE selection in the message´s option, but the result is a sms with "?" instead of the special characters.

A possible solution is to have the Croatian dictionary without special characters, but I couldn't find any editor of it.

So has any one an idea?

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenstorm:
Did you make nand backup prior to installing? If so restore. Otherwise I can make as either a metamorph or flashable theme.

Sorry its giving you trouble, like I said I hadn't tested since my phone is currently unrooted waiting for replacement #5.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpen:
no i didnt...i didnt think to honestly im not very smart in the android rooting area and i thought if i just put the apks on id be all set...not sure what the metamorph thing you mentioned means or would do
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenstorm:
For now you can reflash whatever Rom your using and should set you right. When I get to pc I can make a dialer theme you can use to flash. Flashing works better because you don't get a ton of FC's when using metamorph. You'd flash it just like a Rom.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpen:
how do you flash a rom? i havent done that yet...i mean its rooted but i did that 1click root thing...and also i have a mac
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenstorm:
Easy enough:

1) copy zip file to root of sdcard (not in any folders)

2) reboot phone to recovery (power-on holding volume up button until you get the recovery screen)

3) choose flash zip.. (don't recall the exact wording at the moment, about 4th option down) and follow directions given on screen

4) once flash is successful, reboot to see effects and enjoy.

Attached is the flashable theme I made for you, enjoy!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Just to let you know, the main problem that you have/had is that the Phone.apk isn't where the Dialer is stored at. You'd want the Contacts.apk for that. Hope this helps in the future...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpen:
Thanks man...i flashed to a froyo one and it works great....what is this theme for however?

[Desire General] priestnot:
Ok i searched a litle and i did not find a thread with something like this for the desire.

I know it is possible to remove system apps link after you root the desire (and i intent to). But the thing is, what apps can i remove? Will remove them free some apps space?

I dont use stocks, facebook, tweeter, footprints, friend stream, teeter, quickoffice and News.

I want to use one of the mail applications gmail or mail aplications not both.

I use the clock with weather widget so i suppose i cannot uninstall News and weather application.

I found this list but is a bit dificult to understand all the dependencies the * ones...

So may question is what apps can i remove (from the list above) without messing up the system or other apps and if it frees some of the memory in the apps memory.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Most of the apps you mentioned you can remove. However, it will only free up space on /system, which means you won't be able to use it to install applications unless you manually push them via ADB into /system/app.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] pascanu:
... or you could use Titanium Backup to freeze them, which would inactivate them without actually deleting them.
[Desire General] priestnot:
So even if i delete them from the system i will not free space!!!

So what i can do is after uninstall the apps that are in System move some of the apps that i want to maintain into the system/apps (thats the place were the apps of the system are right?).

So this way i dont free space for apps but i occupy space that i normally couldn't use with the apps that i realy use...

Hum ill try to search a bit about moving apps.

Howl you know any links to speed up the search :p?????

Thanks for your help...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jiddy:
So basically my girlfriend did an update of her Android OS today, installed, the phone restarted automatically, started loading something and the loading bar stayed at 3/4 for like 2hrs. So she tried to turn it off using the button but didn't work so she took out the battery. Then after turning it on, the phone stays at the "Hero" homescreen and doesn't do anything. I tried pushing the Home & Power button all together and installing a new ROM but all I get is "No Signature" and "Verification Failed". Anyone got a clue how can I make her little hero work?

hi guys,

I have this problems with my desire, like the phone green LED lights up but the batt stats shows thats its below 100% instead of fully charged.Sometime the battery have eg. 86% of batt left after quite and amount of usage(video) but when the charger was plug in, the green LED lights up straight away and the displayed batt life changes into fully charged.:(

Tried various calibrating method but the problem still persist.This only happens after i root and flashed a custom rom.

pardon my poor english.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WOW1400:
any help????
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:

your phone has to be fully charged (switched off untill red light turns green)

then switch back on, but un-plug it from the charger before you flash a rom

You guys all suggested excellent roms. As far as stability and stock look and feel go you may want to look at running a combination of the following ..

ROM - damage control 3.5 final

KERNEL - either netarchy's or king's latest stable version (I'm partial to netarchy but that's just me).

NO THEME

The only concern I'd have about running that myself is it's not running the newest release (like fresh is, for example), and I'm a geek that way ;) Plus the newer release is nicer to my battery

Hello folks,

I uninstalled [and then permanently deleted, using Titanium Backup] the Timescape application alongwith the Timescape plugin and it's default blue theme the moment I rooted the phone with the one click root method on my R2BA026 X10i.

Now, as a result, I can no longer "view" contacts, the app just force closes.

May I request if any of you would be kind enough to upload the R2BA026 version of the Timescape app, it's plugin and it's default blue theme to someplace I can download?

I also got rid of Moxier, no issues with that so far.

Cheers :)

Simple enough. I can't make my Facebook contacts sync, at all.

Obviously the Facebook app doesn't sync, that can be fixed with a build.prop edit I think, but I don't wanna deal with that.

The TouchWiz integration syncs calendar fine, but refuses to sync contacts. I've removed my account and readded it and it still won't work, just says sync is unavailable right now. It blows!

Also, since I updated to DI07 I have no protected apps available in the Market. How do I know? Search for Gameloft and see if you find anything. Or iDemolish, you can only find the free version. Again, another build.prop edit but I wanna know if it's just me.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
First, read the answers over on AF where you cross-posted.

Then, boot into Amon_RA recovery (from a power-off condition, press and continue to hold Vol-up and the End/Power button until the screen lights up; make sure you press Vol-up first). Then, use the menu system in the Amon_RA recovery and turn on the "USB-MS toggle" - this will allow you to transfer your Nandroid backups ( /sdcard/nandroid/HT<serial-num>/ or {D:|E:|F:|G:}/nandroid/HT<serial-num>/ ) to the SD card with only the Amon_RA recovery booted.

From there, restore a Nandroid backup.

Thank you I will try this. I posted on another site to try to get a fast answer cause my phone have been off all day.

I will still try the Amon_RA method. Thank you.
