no bionix flashes through clockwork recovery. odin is a wonderful thing to learn how to use. i was kinda sketched by it at first but it is fairly handy and fairly straight forward
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
This Kernel is designed to jump up to 800Mhz or 1Ghz instantly...you should leave your lowest freq at 100 or 200 if you have to have it higher for whatever reason to benefit the most from battery life savings. Although the whole clock range is undervolted so you will still get battery savings regardless. But..something to think about.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Yeah...I think a lot of people are intimidated by ODIN, but it doesn't sound all that bad. From what I keep reading the trickiest parts are getting into download mode on the phone and getting ODIN to recognize the phone on a comm port.

But hey...Clockwork is dead simple...I'll always prefer to use that whenever possible! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] IDtheTarget:
I don't know how anybody else does it, but I just run:

adb reboot download

works for me. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
I think most people run into difficulty when they've semi-bricked their phones and stall at the splash screen. Hasn't happened to me...yet. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] drhonk:
I have OC/UV w/Voodoo installed everything run smoothly, but coming from OCv4 kernel + Tayutama's lagfix .. battery life didn't improve any .. actually I had better battery life with OCv4 + Lagfix combination. Maybe because I don't have setCPU installed.

I'm not a benchmark freak, my linpack with this kernel is lower than my previous setup (OCv4) but my phone still run smooth ... no complain from me.

Awesome work again JAC ... Looking forward to your next work. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Mekael83:
Couple things:

First: I'm running Bionix 1.3 and OC/UV w voodoo. Phone runs really smooth! However, I'm only getting 7.9 MFLOPS and 1650 quadrant. Is this about right? I feel like it should be higher.

Secondly: When I try to overclock to 1.2 with setCPU, it runs fine for a while but usually locks up the phone within 20 minutes. I also get a much higher linepack and quadrant score when overclocked. Is there a way to keep my phone stable with the overclock? Would you recommend me using the script instead of setCPU? I've heard that setCPU can sometimes cause problems on its own. Or do I just need to learn to be happy without the overclock at this point?
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
Thinking of code, are you planning to release some soon? I'm fooling with some stuff like USB host and I'd like to include your mods, but without source, that's difficult. :)

Another feature that would be really nice is the early userinit stuff that Unhelpful has. I'm running an experimental lagfix that I like better than voodoo, but I need to be able to control the mounts. I'm using his code and it's the only stuff I can get to build and boot. Amusing as it's for the Captivate, but whatever. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SquithyX:
OK, here is my problem.

UK HD2 -> Generic running 1.66 stock, with HSPL 2.08, and Radio 2.12.50.02.

I have been running many of the different Android builds on my phone since the first one came out with no problems, until now...

My phone will not run any of the new ones at all. They give the instruction to leave on first boot to create the data store, takes about 5-10min. I have left my phone for hours with a faded black screen, with a few lines on it, but it never gets any further than that.

Have tried:

Mattc Leo + Froyo 1.5*, 1.6*, 1.7 and 1.8

Mattc Evo 1.0.1

Mattc NexusLeo 1.1

Mdeejay Froyo Sense 2.2

Mdeejay eVo 1.0

FroyoStone Sense 1* and 2

Darksotne HD2Froyo 2.1*

Darkstone DesireROM 2*, 3*, 4* and 5*

*= ones that have worked

It seems to me that something has changed with all the newer ROMS that are stopping them from working for me. I have format my SD every time i try a new ROM and have even hard reset my WinMo to see if that the problem -> Nothing works!

As Marvin would say: "I just want you to know, i am feeling very depressed today"

Help please

show us your step by step procedure in running android, so people when they see it may know at which point you may be making an error.

also, after reading this

post, I came to the conclusion that indeed many left

over junks in winmo are messing up the process of Android running, so I took it to mean that we have to do a Task 29 every time we try a build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] b3ltazar:
make sure the android build is in a folder marked android the older roms went on the root of the sd! another thing is when haret boots see if the writing says failer to mount sd and get back to me or pm me well figure it out!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
Definitely task29 that sucker. Also consider a "meant for android" WM rom like chuckydroid. Radio 2.14 is now available if you want to try something else.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ironsave:
Yeah, I was going to suggest task 29 and then reinstall a different WM Rom.

I am using the 2.14 radio with great results.....

Good Luck.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] doityoureself:
try new sd card

I can understand your frustration, If the task 29 alone does not help, I would get a new sd card, I have read its best to long format card, task 29 phone, install your windows rom of choice( I like chuckys android), then install android. good luck
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SquithyX:
Steps taken so far

Ok, first off, Thank you all for your responses!!!!

Was expecting to get flamed, as i had searched the forums and could not find anything myself but expected there to be something somewhere, that somebody knew about.

With the older ROMS that are stored on the root of SD, i formatted the SD and copied the data over using SD adaptor in my MacBook Pro's SD slot -> Worked like a charm!!

With the newer ones, that have worked anyway the procedure was the same, format SD and copy Android folder over from Mac -> again worked like a champ!

But now with these new ones i have tried the old methods of format and copy using SD adaptor, tried formatting and coping the Android folder on to the phone using the USB connection on the phone, tried renaming the "Android" folder "android".

I have not updated or changed the WinMo ROM, but i have reloaded it, when i found out about this problem. I task 29 and then reflashed with the stock 1.66 and still no dice.

Step by step for last ones i have tried:

1. Power off phone and remove battery (not needed i know but hay)

2. Remove SD card and put in SD adaptor

3. Insert into Mac and format card Fat (Mac Fat = Win Fat32)

4. Unarchive Android ROM and copy to SD - (/StorageCard/Android)

5. After copy complete wait for 5min then eject SD (i like to make sure there is nothing in the buffer)

6. Put into phone, put battery in and power up (normally with the battery cover off lol)

7. Wait for the unfortunate Windows logo and phone to boot up ("Launching HTC Sense" seems to take forever)

8. As soon as phone started either run the Android icon from Sense or open File Explorer and run both programs

9. HeRET starts, screen goes black see txt (guess bootloader loading the kernel) for 1 second then screen fades to black with faint lines running down it (backlight on very dull)

10. Wait...wait...wait (Mattc Leo Froyo 1.8 waited 20min, then fell asleep and when i awoke 5hours later it was still the same)

I dont get it, so to recap i have formatted my SD every-time i have tried, i have task29 my phone about a week ago, tried many of the ROMS on here and nothing, i have tried one of the old ones and that works though!!!!

Arrrgg, Please somebody point out what stupid thing i am doing wrong.

If you are using a standard stock 1.66 rom your radio may not be compatable. I had the same issue to start off with. Would boot half way then die. I upgraded my radio now using 2.14 and can boot no problem at all.

Hi,

I have two request:

How can I disable vibration when I press Home, Menu and Back buttons?

My camera button doesn't start the application if I press it longtime, and doesn't take a picture, but it works to focus the image... so I think the button is not damaged.... Is it a software issue?

Note: I have a stock rom 1.6.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumble6059:
hi, ive got a problem that i cannot seem to sort myself.

ive got custom ringtones stored on my SD card that i have been using for a while.

whenever the phone was connected to my PC, in mass storage mode [beacuse Kies wont work, dont get me started on that!] the rington and message alerts would go to default [a load of beeping] as the SD card could not be accessed, upon unplugging they went back to normal.

a couple of days ago this stopped working, and now i cannot set custom ringtones or message alerts no matter what i try! i have rebooted, uninstalled a load of my latest apps, formatted SD card and still no luck.

the only thing that i have chnaged is that i bought a new SD card [16gb instead of 8], but i have formatted this both in and out of the phone.

can anyone help!!

thanks Matt

You have mounted the card again (sorry if a daft question)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
i have had this happen periodically when the sd card that they are stored on unmounts or something.. bringing up the system to set the ringtone crashes..

the only way i got around it was bringing up the settings changing the notification and voice etc. ringtone to a built in system tone.. then bringing it up again and resetting to the correct ringtone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
if you stop media scanning

or have added the file .nomedia to the folder where your ring tones are located

then the phone will not see the ringtone

you can download the Media Scanner on/off switch to fix that

[Fascinate General] LandLockedPH:
My Fascinate syncs and works well with my in-car bluetooth system.

I frequently listen to a podcast, Pandora, etc. when driving by plugging my car's aux jack into the headphone jack on my device. When a call comes in, I can answer using my car's bluetooth system, but I cannot hear the caller until I unplug from the headphone jack. Once I do that, the call works just fine.

With my previous BB's and Incredible, I could answer the call through bluetooth; playback would stop on the device and resume once the call finished.

It's the same behavior in my Nissan and my wife's Mercedes. We have three Fascinates between us - all with the same issue.

This has also been reported by a few others on various forums.

Any suggestions?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Mulham82:
Re: Any Pro Here ?!!

Dear,

I think that you are the wrong person over here, so please let the pro to answer not you.

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] YOSEFE:
We don't really have pros here. We all try to help each other with what we know and have experienced.

You want to go to the Rhodium page giving you guidance on the basic rom flashing questions, and try to find answers there (http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490)

Hopefully, the warranty issues will be addressed there too. To backup your current rom, you may want to use a third party commercial software such as Sprite Backup, or you may still be able to download your original rom at htc.com.

Android on our Rhodium is not a rom you install; and in any case, you only run it from the sd card. It does not change or replace your windows mobile rom.

You can download the projectandroid for the Rhodium and run it on top of your current original rom, without voiding your warranty.

There is a dual boot application most people use called "Gen.Y.DualBOOT" which you can download and install. After configuring it, you can then choose on boot whether you want to boot android or windows.

I notice that you have asked too many questions at once, requiring a lot of work on your part, with all the answers given. My best advice is, do one thing at a time so that you succede in stages.

Lastly, neither I nor anyone takes or will take responsibility for whatever negative effects your device suffers following the advice given here by me or anyone else. You are totally responsible. Remember though, one step at a time!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dcmedic:
First of all You posted a question on a public forum and You are apt to get the views and opinions of whoever has access.

Second, The other member was correct, as to SEARCH for your information.

Third, (1) You do not unlock a ROM, you unlock your device to accept a flash, which is done by hard spl (2&3) Look on your providers website and download the rom that came with your device. (4) Ah, if you already know there is an Android port for The TP2 then you should already know where to get it, with that said there are intructions within that post. (5&6) There is also a complete post on this subject.

Now, as for switching themes, this is the wrong section.

Now I do realize that I may have not implied much insight on your situation, but we all hope that you come away from this with the knowledge of USING THE SEARCH FEATURE......

Thank You for your time and patience

[HTC Aria General] Snow_fox:
So I am wanting a new android device..

The aria pops up for a few reasons.

1. It has gained huge praise.

2. It supposedly has great battery life!

3. It is relatively cheap for off of contract. (339$ on amazon)

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me anything bad about it.. I hear that it has a bad speaker.. or that bad speakers are a problem.. That is the only "constant" i've seen for it besides stuff that people argue over..

I was wondering if anyone out there had this phone and the captivate and could give me a break down of which one goes faster while doing the same things..

Like if your playing robo defense on aria and captivate which one goes faster? Which one do you find last longer over all normally?

Even paying full price for the device should I consider just paying another 160$ or so and getting the captivate? For some reason I find myself looking and thinking the Captivate is a better deal with an upgrade vs the free aria..

But, the aria feels like a better deal off contract.. (I could be wrong here.. but, feel free to agree/disagree)

To be honest I would love to get a captivate but, I am worried that in the future.. the Aria could possibly receive more updates than captivate.. I am not against samsung products mind you, they make spectacular hardware and I'm usually happy with it right out the box..

However, even if captivate gets 2.2... What about 2.3? I can see aria getting 2.3 and captivate being left behind... However, I see captivates hardware more likely to support a 3.0 than the aria.. but, that doesn't matter if samsung won't do it..

I do realize the captivate is a gorgeous phone with a lot of advantages.. but, I'm due for an upgrade in feb.. I really want a better phone than my pay as you go neon (i'm on contract just using a cheap cellphone since my last got washed). And by feb they will probably have something all around better than captivate anyway..

Although it does slightly annoy me.. I'm not a fan of otter box but, I was kinda hoping they might have a defender series case for the aria..

So I think it just makes more sense to buy the cheaper one now.. and then later on... grab the best of the best in terms of upgrade.. (see if I can make the aria last a year or two.. and if I can't.. well just upgrade later then..)
[HTC Aria General] radon222:
Snow Fox,

Thanks for posting this. I'm much the same situation that you are in with my Tilt2. Only have an entire year to go before I'm eligible for an upgrade. I've been playing with XDAndroid and would love get a full blown Android device.

While I had been holding out to see WP7 (and At&t) had to offer, the more I learn about WP7 the less I'm liking it. So its either the Captivate, Aria, or a used Nexus One.

There is something else for you to consider... check with your local At&t store, the last I enquired the rep told me that IF you have a good record of paying your bills on time, they can give you a deal of $75 over the listed contract price. So if the Aria lists for $129, you could get it for $184.
[HTC Aria General] pcruz:
OK I won't write up a huge essay but I'll give you my quick opinion.

In march I upgraded from an old motorola L6 to the backflip, AT&T's very first android phone! I really loved that phone. Soon I became frustrated because the poor little guy only runs android 1.5 and I was unable to install many of the cool apps that I would read about. after waiting for about three months, to see if the backflip could get rooted by someone I caved in. I went down to AT&T and bought myself a brand new Aria, I had to pay the full price since I had used my upgrade on the backflip and I was passed the 30 day return period.

I was trying to decide between a Nexus One or the Aria. I chose the Aria because I thought it would be a great phone to have for a year or two while a really great phone came out on my carrier. It wasn't SUPER pricey like the N1 would have been, and it can really handle anything that you throw at it. To this day I haven't regretted buying my Aria.
[HTC Aria General] ycode90:
I <3 my Aria.
[HTC Aria General] ksnax:
I won't list the cons with the Aria, as I just got mine yesterday and haven't had time to really investigate the minor issues against it, so here's the reasons I did use my upgrade credit to get one:

#1 It's smaller and significantly lighter than the Fuze it has replaced. I have no ass, and without a belt, quite simply, the fuze pulls my shorts down. TMI, I know, but there you go. :D Anyway, the aria is so much lighter and compact that I have found I forget which pocket I put it in. The ladies are thankful for the reduction in appearance of "plumber pants".

#2 Despite the slower processor, it still does everything I need it to do with the utmost of smoothness. No more second guessing whether it detected my actions, pressing again, only to have it catching up to do things I didn't actually want. My Fuze does that a lot!

#3 It's ultimately as hackable as any other HTC phone on here, with a gaggle of devoted phone nerds anxious and ready to apply the latest mod, patch, or fix, there WILL be plenty of life left to exploit in it's features and OS (at least until the next contract re-up anyway).

#4 Lastly, despite the lower resolution of the screen and smaller size relative to other phones, a cell phone will likely never be central to my TV/movie watching experience no matter how good or large the screen, nor will I ever worry too much about games. There are simply far better devices available devoted to such entertainment such as a PSP. And while some phones may be approaching that level of sophistication, they all appear to be doing it at the expense of reason #1.

The Galaxy is too big and too expensive in my book, making the extra performance simply not worth it.
[HTC Aria General] resin99:
I'd prefer to buy my phone outright used versus extending my contract 2 years. After researching online, for my first android device, I was definitely going to buy a captivate until I saw an Aria for $150 on craigslist. I picked up the Aria and have since used a galaxy s and I couldn't justify the price difference. The galaxy feels cheap, I don't like touchwiz, and I'd prefer HTC over Samsung.

I'd definitely check craigslist before buying new. I thought my price was a fluke but I've been using CraigsNotifica, on my aria, and I've seen several arias under $200.

There's really nothing bad about the aria imo. The captivate is probably better for games/mobile entertainment due to screen size & processor, but those aren't high up on my priority list. I can't feel a difference in speed in everyday use, plus theres a perfectly working version of cyanogenmod out for the aria already.
