Yes I have a daldroid-recovery.img its an old costume recovery image...

When I rooted my phone and then installed a hero rom i had to rename the rom to update.zip that time cause thats the only way the daldroid-recovery.img would find it and install it, but it only worked with that spesific rom and everytime I tried to install another rom it failed even if I renamed it to update.zip, and when I tried to flash new recovery images the phone didnt start so I had to go back to Hboot mode and boot the daldroid-recovery.img for my phone to work.thats the history of my phone.

Now I tried to update my Hboot to 1.76.2007 so I would be able to flash new recovery images and rom and etc. and to do that I had to rename the file update.zip and install it from the recovery system. but after I did my phone rebooted and it wont let me enter hboot mode or fastboot mode or recovery mode, it only starts and stop at the HTC Magic logo.

Please help me if you know how to fix this..

Thanks in advance..

Now I think I know the answer, but by doing a factory reset wipe, do I delete the files on my SD?

FACTORY RESET WIPE will erase all user info from internal storage. Dloaded apps, contacts, accounts... This will not erase any contents of the SDcard.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RagnaKaos:
I've noticed that everywhere in the ROM threads people using apps2sd seem to partition their SD-cards with ext3. I have a bit of experience with Linux filesystems and I am quite baffled by the choice, especially for flash media, where wear is a very real concern.

Some of the reasons I've seen for people choosing ext3 over ext2 are just plain wrong. E.g. speed; people say that ext3 is faster because it does journaling as opposed to ext2 that doesn't. This is not true, journaling actually makes file operations slower because the journal needs to be updated for every single operation. Journaling makes filesystem recovery faster, because the journal will show exactly which operations did not complete successfully, but this is not very useful due to the relatively small sizes of the partitions and the fact that the phone doesn't crash that often.

Keeping the journal also increases wear on the SD-card as the journal is written to on every operation, and its very specific location means that the SD-card is worn at this location and may make it unusable sooner than normal use would.

So if anyone has some insights into why ext3 seems to be preferred over ext2, then I'd love to hear them, as this has been bothering me for some time.

- RK
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeeDroid:
Due to the fact that the SD is removable/un-mountable media and its tied in and recognized as "internal memory" by the system, journaling safeguards the data as it would during a system crash under Linux, not sure on the speed my self but the rest is true to the best of my knowledge, its always been the "preffered" format.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RagnaKaos:
Journaling does not actually keep your data safer, it only speeds up the recovery time, as the recovery operation does not have to walk through the entire inode structure to confirm that the file system is consistent. As I said, the size and number of files on the ext-partition make a journal pretty pointless, especially since random access times are very low on flash media, which makes the recovery walk even faster.

So I still don't agree with the choice of ext3 over ext2.

PS. Thanks for correcting my mistake, rofld.

[General Questions and Answers] Darkstriker:
Hi folks,

I am off to Portugal for vacation and was wondering which mobile broadband provider you would recommend.

I would like to tether (and possibly use skype via that) but that is not required.

I found optimus and vodafone (that appears to have identical pricining to tmn)

I will only be in Lisbon so are there possibly any small-area providers that might be cheaper?

Which provider would you recommend me to get. (PS: This needs to be in combination with a prepaid SIM of course, since I won't stay long enough to make proper use of a long term contract.)

Thanks for you advice :-)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jayman1986:
Hi guys,

I have a generic UK firmware 026 for x10i.

A few days ago I reflashed my phone using SEUS as I was having a few problems with the phone.

After reinstalling i noticed there are quite a few apps I cannot find in market. They were there before flashing but now it just cannot find in search.

Is there a fix for this?

I know there is a fix for rooted phones but mine isn't rooted and also its for version 020.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] go3asy:
I have also noticed this after debranding and going to 026 in uk was krange branded 020 before
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thol:
Search "Market Fix" on this forum... you must to root it to use the patch...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jayman1986:
Yeah but I'm baffled. I'm not rooted or manually debranded. My phone is factory sim free and I'm using stock 026 firmware why should I have this issue?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thol:
because some providers block some apps... and some apps are not available in some country...

Try to find your apps on WiFi... if it is not found... there a country lock...

With Market Fix, your X10 is open to all apps...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jayman1986:
Sorry but your theory doesn't really make sense. I had apps available before reflashing. I had 026 before and still have now. All I did was reinstall.

But have tried you WiFi theory, that failed I'm afraid.

Buy the way does market fix work on unrooted phone?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Thol:
The market fix replace 2 system files, so root is needed to do that..

I'd debrand my French X10 on 014 to an sweeden 026 (for no serve me), some of french apps are not avalable after that...

With the Market FIx, i can found it again...

So, i tell you a solution, if you don't believe it, wait if some one have an other solution..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The_Morgue:
Same problem for me.

Hi,

Same problem here. Have a German device flashed to Generic Nordic. Live in sweden. Installed som swedish apps and it was all green (some of them I also had installed befor the flash). After quite some time I wanted to star over from scratch again (had so many bad apps I didn't use that I wanted to totally get rid of).

I used SE Updateservic and did a repair.

Still on Generic Nordic, bur now several apps can't be found for me any more, though I just had them. I thought that I should try to repair the device again, but at the same time 2.1 was just around the corner.

But now when 2.1 is delayed I maybe try to see if another repair can fix things.

So from what I understand will this allow you to view market apps from other countries and see everything relesed instead of the market saying it can't find what your looking for?

Could someone clarify for me? Thanks in advance

Right guys, all your suggestions were useless, but thanks for trying, and those who kept banging on about country restrictions- you were just talking nonsense as it was not the problem I was having, as I thought I had explained but noone seemed to grasp.

Anyway I believe I have worked out the solution to this problem myself.

Go to setting, applications, manage applications, market, uninstall updates(this will take you back to original factory version, and will reset market)

Don't worry as market will Automatically update itself a few hours later.

Bought this holster for Vibrant. When on the belt its almost a whole case (bodyglove) smaller (slimmer) then bodyglove itself. Quality is OK, holster is made so that the phone goes in with screen out, but it still can hold the phone with screen inside.....again its not made for that, but it holds fine. I still prefer Seidio cases and holsters but they dont make them for vibrant yet, and bodyglove is just ....... SUCKS

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruiserbax:
If this has been discussed and I have overlooked it in my searches please if you know point me in the right direction. here is an example of what I am trying to do: The sensorcalibutil_yamaha, I want to find out how it is working so I can write a very simple app kind of like the one in the Froyo ROMs but where I can input inverted values for certain axis without "calibrating" them all thus messing up other axis I want to stay the same. Then save those values like this utility does only with my input tweaked values. I have tried logcat but it does not do what I need. is there something I can do in ADB?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMC_Sherpa:
dono, there is a file in *deep breath*

/sys/devices/virtual/accelerometer/accelerometer/

called acc_file which is rw-r--wrx (kinda weird). It looks like it contains the current accelerometer info (if you rotate the phone it changes) but I don't have a clue where the information is being read from or what function is putting it in there.

What 'cha trying to do?

Sherpa
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruiserbax:
Invert only one axis by inputting calibration values manually so as to correct the rotation issue. In the froyo roms there is a gui to do what sensorcalibutil_yamaha does bit it reads the current sensor values and issues an "offsetUpdate" with the current values as assumed Level. But on us variants you are holding the device semi verrical part landscape to get it to sort of stay rotated vertical but doing this also updates the other axes as "level" so rotation is flaky at best with no love in games at all. So if this app reads current values and issues an update we should easly be able to write a simple app that we put our own values into and issue an update. Thus allowing us to invert only a singlw axis and make rotation work perfect.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMC_Sherpa:
We've tried swapping every file with yamaha or sensor in it to a froyo build with no luck. It looks like the garray and marray values are somewhere deep inside the kernel rather than a handy library file. If your handy with a hex editor or a soldering iron you would be a hero :)

Good luck hope you succeed
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruiserbax:
I am quite good with a hex editor and an expert with a soldering iron. anyways no one really cares lol so to clarify (sorry was on my device in a vehicle so I did not feel like typing a lot) No it is not stored in a file anywhere on the system (in temp memory while it reads the values before it updates) the values in this chip are stored outside the system (often in the chips software(actual firmware of the hardware) this would explain why when erasing the system and flashing back to stock leaves your rotation messed up even with a kernel reflash. it is in the kernel where the driver interprets these values (that is why in 2.1 it can be patched like in the reorient kernel) obviously the I9000 default settings are 90deg different on one axis then ours. SO my point remains, the recalibration utility works as described above, it calls commands I believe from perhaps one of the yamaha libs, libms3c_yamaha.so? it seems to do it in this order with a couple of other steps involved: it measures the sensor readings then gets the "offset" (I think this is it calculating the offset based on the current values being assumed level) then it saves those values (temp) then it issues the update. As I said before instead of updated ALL of the values as the new "level" we want to update with manually input values to work with single axes. anyone follow? I am going to give it a go tonight and at this time wish myself luck!

btw: I tried to patch the kernel with a hex editor but could never get it to repack correctly and was mostly bootless. next step is to **** my device for good with some micro-soldering (probably not plausible from the way it looks though)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMC_Sherpa:
It was a joke. Sir, step away from the iron.

There is an orientation lock so there is some control over the accelerometer however I'm not sure if you can lock only one axis. If it's a .so you are looking for then it ain't stripped so there should be readable text inside.

I would need to reboot to look further but the only real function in yamaha.c is yamaha_read which does what it says on the tin.

ak8973b.c does a bunch of stuff but I'm not sure why it's even in there as I doubt there are two accelerometers http://www.asahi-kasei.co.jp/akm/en/product/ak8973nbs/ak8973nbs.html but it's included with the build.

Grr, I bookmarked the photobucket but not the link

*Sigh* because I'm stupid

http://s379.photobucket.com/albums/oo239/vendetta-mr2/Captivate/

If it's a yamaha sensor I don't see it anywhere but then again I don't know which one it is (Thanks Samsung) so I'm not sure what part number to look for.

I think there was a point to all this but I don't remember what it was so quick ask another question, post another comment or just say something witty, I'm sure I'll remember it sooner or later.

Hello, all.

Well .. I don´t know where to start, but I know that I am very sad. Last Saturday, I went first use ODIN to return the original version of Android on my gadget. Apparently, everything went according to the tutorials forum and XDA initially ODIN began updating.

I don´t know why, at the first stage of the upgrade, the Vibrant display stayed with color pink and stopped updating. I waited for about 30 minutes and nothing changed Vibrant and not restarted.

I decided to restart it manually and got the screen below.

From that moment on my computer (Windows 7) did not recognize the more Vibrant via USB. Likewise, I can not leave it in download mode (I've tried everything). It is as if the USB does not recognize anything... :(

I ask the more experienced here: You can still retrieve it? I'm in Brazil and apparently they will not support this case, even though I pay for it.
