[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebeltran1234:
so my screen has stopped responding to touch, which after looking around, seems to be a hardware problem.

unfortunately, this means i need to take it to t mobile to have it fixed or replaced, but to do this i need to flash a stock rom onto it.

im not sure how to do this, as i cant use the phone to do it, due the screen not working.

please help!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrionCarl:
did you do a search??there is a million posts about returning to stock, basic is download the offical rom you should be using, extrack the .nbh file, copy it to SD and rename it to LEOIMG, turn ur phone on with volume down, should then ask to install, it returns it all to stock, radio, spl the lot
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebeltran1234:
thanks for the reply! I'm having trouble, though. when i restart the phone with the volume down button pressed, it goes the three colored screen, but gives no option to install the file.

I forgot to mention before that this is a t-mobile phone, does that make a difference? should i name the nbh something else?

thanks for any and all help, really appreciate it.

I did a bonehead thing today...

I'm on a rooted 2.2 (OTA)... (not the bonehead part)

Using root explorer I replaced the droidsans and droid sans-bold.ttf files in the /system/fonts folder with a preferred font... All I got was the eternal boot loop.

I then did a factory reset, and could see the font perfectly, but after about 30 seconds it will restart and go back into the boot-loop...

I repeated the process and it baught me enough time to put the fonts back...

but the re-boot/boot-loop still exists.

(one wierd thing I noticed was after I mounted r/w made the edits i clicked r/o and nothing happened... for what its worth)

What are my options?

can I SPF the leaked 2.2 or to another ROM?

I can use the phone for about 30 to 60 seconds. :o

thanks for your help...

[Droid X Android Development] CaptainTaco:
I posted this on another forum with little avail... I didn't want to clutter this one up... However, without a clear answer, and actually very little intelligent conversation that resultant in my reluctance to actually respond... I have to resort to placing this here.

"

So I have been playing around with the OTA 2.2 and decided to run linpack, I noticed an incredibly low score for froyo, (around 12-14) in comparison to the average Froyo score of 30-40. Figured I would play around in the build.prop, noticed JIT was not mentioned. Did they leave out enabling JIT for the Droid X froyo? Or am I missing something here...

"

This was posted back on the 27 of September, since then I have poked around more and still have found little to answer my original question. Seriously, is it possible to have Froyo without JIT enabled... I know better than anyone to take benchmark scores with a grain of salt, it just seems a little odd to me. As a side note, Java performs worse than my Droid Incredible did, while the snapdragon is indeed a better computational processor, it quite significantly outperformed the Droid X in both Linpack and Java (I don't believe in quadrant enough to even run it...) which it truly should not...

Anybody have any reasonable input?
[Droid X Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Where did you ever get the idea that 30-40 is a reasonable score for JIT enabled phones? Because of the N1? As I understand it, the N1's processor offloads the JIT compiler, vastly speeding up MFLOPS (Millions of Floating Operations Per Second) which is GREAT for linpack benchmarks, but its really not important as far as real world performance.

Stop taking so much stock in meaningless benchmark tests. MFLOPS are a terrible way to compare device speeds. Especially when you bring a phone into the mix that has a special way of handling MFLOPS.

Apps that test video decoding/encoding and FPS are much more likely to give you a better idea of real-world phone performance

If I'm wrong in any way people, please feel free to enlighten me.
[Droid X Android Development] CaptainTaco:
With all do respect, it is responses like yours that anger me slightly (albeit very slightly...). I specifically stated in my post that I do not hold benchmark tests in any regard, in fact I despise them... Quadrant in particular is so incredibly broken that a simple trickery in database write caching can bloat your score to such ridiculous heights, that it is not worth even turning an eye to any more. I did state however, that the benchmark did catch my attention enough to make me investigate the JIT compiler on our device. The only comparison I had to make were with 2.1 devices, in which JIT was referenced in the build.prop. I am unaware how it is enabled in 2.2, hence the question. I specify that as a common score as the Devour, EVO, Nexus, Droid Incredible, Samsung Galaxy I900, and iPhone (yes, i said it...) all see scores in the 30's through linpack. I am not giving those scores any relation to performance, because as I stated in my original post, "I know better than anyone to take benchmark scores with a grain of salt"... but thank you for not reading the full post, and discrediting my post *moderately angry face* (but more jokingly).

But in all seriousness, those phones showing the benchmark, while not giving an impression of performance, did give an impression, or rather a relation, to JIT. While JIT does not give performance increases in the amount shown through benchmarks, the performance gain is significant in some areas, and I would be heartstrucken if they managed to provide Froyo without JIT to the Droid X. I was just looking for confirmation that JIT is enabled, or a way to check. If I cannot get a straight answer around here, I will discover it sooner or later on my own. I am not even sure it is possible to have Froyo without having JIT enabled, but it caught my attention enough to have it investigated.
[Droid X Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Sorry, i did not mean to upset you by taking time out of my day to TRY and answer your question. (Twice now)

Yes, JIT is enabled.

Edit:

And I guess I should have noted that I wasn't really talking DIRECTLY to you when I mentioned about people should stop taking so much stock in benchmarks. My bad. That was for others who happen to read this.
[Droid X Android Development] MrDanger:
You guys... let's play nicely. :o
[Droid X Android Development] drewden123:
FWIW I've heard that JIT is in fact enabled...but the reason it's not very prevalent is because JIT was designed to be very efficient mainly with the qualcomm snapdragons and such..not the TI omap. I could be wrong but I believe this is why...and I believe the X still performs just a smoothly as those snapdragons which score higher on the benchmarks (which, I know, is not the question at hand, just giving my 2 cents).
[Droid X Android Development] CaptainTaco:
Clearly you did not catch the sarcasm and joking tone I had in my writing, my apologies, I updated it to more clearly represent it ;-). Truly was not trying to sound angry, more sarcastically hurt... And I take time out of my day to help people all the time as well... look back at my posts, this is one of the few questions I've asked... I'm not a fan...

I understand, I know who you are... You've done a lot for the community... Thanks... I appreciated the incite and really didn't even care about the comment, I was more just joking about it in that I stated how I don't actually take heed to benchmark scores. Regardless, JIT was an area I am not really all that familiar with, and appreciate the answer. I play more on the system level as I am a Linux Server Administrator and deal mostly with script writing over actual compiling. Sorry if you thought I was taking shots at you ;-)

EDIT: FYI this isn't the first time people have thought I was being an ass to them... I am... what do they call it... anti-social... I just come across that way, I don't mean to however. I think I have actually had this conversation with another Developer on another forum, it ended in him admitting to the same problem... I think we then had crumpets and tea... well maybe not the crumpets and tea, but the rest is true...
[Droid X Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Its all good captain taco, I truly wish I had a better answer for you.

the Jit ON/OFF switch, in my other phone, is in the build.prop. However, I do not see it in the Droid X build.prop

From 2.1 to 2.2, the linpack jumped over 6 points. And seeing that its just a software update, I guess you could say I'm blindly assuming that JIT is enabled, but I also want you to take note that apps that have trouble running in conjunction with JIT, also did not perform well until they were updated to work with it.

I can say in 100% confidence and (barely) educated guess, that JIT is in fact, enabled.

Have a good day Taco :)
[Droid X Android Development] CaptainTaco:
Sounds good to me, that's about as good of an answer as it gets. Thanks :)
[Droid X Android Development] Izord:
Is there not a way to get a real answer to this question? Motorola should be the source I suppose. Anyone have contact info or access to a Moto android software engineer?

Can someone be motivated to ask Moto if jit is enabled in 2.2 on the X?

We can speculate all we want.
[Droid X Android Development] CaptainTaco:
I feel as though his answer gives fair evidence that JIT is indeed enabled. It's likely just placed elsewhere, after all it was just a single line calling JIT in the build.prop, it could have been placed in any of the startup files, could be in the boot.img for that matter. I really haven't searched through all of the init scripts, and after reading LexusBrian400's response, I likely won't, I feel pretty assured it is enabled.
[Droid X Android Development] mcsinfl:
read the blog about 1/2 way down on nenolod.net titled "how to improve user performance on android phones"
[Droid X Android Development] Javiggan69:
Have you tried this yourself???
[Droid X Android Development] CaptainTaco:
I believe that blog was meant for pre 2.2 android. I am not even sure we are able to make that change in 2.2, though do not hold me to that.

/etc/sysctl.conf is not a file in our system, and at the end of his post the author quotes "Update: Disabling NORMALIZE_SLEEPERS on Android 1.6/2.0/2.1 is a good idea."

Edit: Scratch the above, further digging in the comments section of that particular post:
[Droid X Android Development] LexusBrian400:
The rubix rom has that mod in it. In the changelog, where he mentions "tweaks by nenolod" The Sleepers mod is what he is talking about. I just ran the code from nenlods blog and it went through fine. (on rubix) Sometimes sysctl.conf is in the /sys file I believe. I think thats what nenlod said, I talked to him last night about it because I was curious.

Anyway, it works on Rubix
[Droid X Android Development] hijackerjack:
JIT is enabled without a doubt.

The only reason there was a line in the build.prop was because it was a homemade JIT compiler for our phones. This is probably embedded into Froyo.
[Droid X Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Just wanted to confirm, I watched a logcat today for about 15 minutes, JIT came up several times.

Download Alogcat and have a looksee for yourself.

It may take a while, but it'll come up for sure.

CONFIRMED

/end thread

:)
[Droid X Android Development] orion11:
i had a little trouble finding the sysctl file on my phone but it turned up in the /system/bin .

i like to keep a copy of any file i change, incase anything goes awry and I tried viewing the contents of the file on my PC but it was just a bunch of cryptic symbols. Is there a way to see what the file contains?

and thanks for the logcat confirmation of jit :)
[Droid X Android Development] tdrussell:
This is exactly true. The OMAP doesn't see nearly the gains from JIT as the hummingbird/snapdragon does.

I'm sure you guys have noticed that Hulu claims our platform isn't supported. I was wondering if anyone has tried this technique yet to get Hulu to believe the flash player is installed on a windows box? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794512

I haven't tried it yet, but I know by default I cannot uninstall the Flash 10.1 build that was included on the phone in order to install the fixed apk...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] epeets:
I pretty much decided that since HSPA+ doesn't cover the WHOLE of my city yet then I won't bother with data heavy sites like Hulu on my phone for now.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] k0shi:

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] bled82:

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] k0shi:
Because of no root you have to do it quiet often
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] j.books:
this isn't working for me. anybody know any reason there might be for that?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ImSoHungry:
worked like a charm for me, however;

"Unfortunately Hulu is not supported on your platform. We apologize for any inconvenience."
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] unxconformed:
hence the need for a flash build that reports itself as a desktop. The browser will report as a desktop if you do the debug trick, but flash itself is still reporting itself as an android phone.

The link I posted at the top had an apk with a custom build of flash that reports as a desktop, but I can't get it to install on my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] fastludeh22:
what i tried. used temp root, then got root in adb shell. rm system flash player, then cp new flash to system/app. installed hulu.apk, still same not supported error. also did the about:debug, same prob

whats wierd is after i rm flash, it still shows under manage apps. can it be installed somewhere else as well?

also how could i rm the cache of the stock player?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] unxconformed:
instead of removing flash using adb, maybe try using Titanium? Sounded like some people on other phones had success that way. I haven't messed around with temp root yet so I can't try it myself.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] fastludeh22:
Good idea. I have titanium installed and got it root access, now how do I use it to remove and install apps, lol
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] mcp2009:
can you give any insight how to get titanium root access would be much appreciated
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] fastludeh22:
sure. its a little tricky, lol. read entire first post here, temp root, its been updated: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797042

as you read you only do stage 1 once (not needed if you have done temp root already)

then before you do stage 2, open titanium, it will say it doesnt have root, thats ok, exit out of it.

complete stage 2, do NOT exit term (sometimes it works if you do, most time not)

long press home to bring up recent apps. click on titanum. most likely will say no root, thats ok.

hit menu and reload titanum, boom superuser request. grant it and your in there for this session!

good luck, have fun, hope this helps...

When I see the list of the things that TiBU is backing up, I only see things like "accounts", application widgets", etc. I looked up some video of people using it on youtube, but on their screens I see all their applications pop up as well. Am I supposed to do something other than install and run? Its a Samsung Vibrant, BTW
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] askpcguy:
Make sure you have root access, tap the problems button to download a known good busybox, then restart Titanium Backup.

Also make sure you are not connected to the PC and mounted the phone to copy files to/from the PC.

Make sure your USB debugging is enabled under Settings > Applications > Development

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acckk:
Hey Guys, I'm stumped on this issue and could use your help.

I have a rooted Eris on MetroPCS and it's all working with the exception of Email. I've tried the default email program as well as K-9 with the same results while trying to add an IMAP or POP3 account. I either receive a message that the incoming server can not be reached or my outgoing smtp server returned "null" (this of course is not an issue when on WiFi).

I've tried all that I know to do, clean wipes of the phone, new ROMs, different u2nl/autoloader files (v3 and v3.5) to no avail.

Anyone else have this issue? How can I resolve it?

Thanks for your time!

----------- Details -----------------

What Works:

•	Web

•	MMS

•	Gmail

•	Text

•	Phone

•	Maps

What doesn’t:

•	Email – regular POP/IMAP accounts don’t work unless I’m on WiFi

•	Downloading from the market – can only do so when on WiFi due to Meto's network here in SoCal (no SSL over 1X network)

•	3G – N/A here in SoCal

I’ve tried the following ROMs

•	xtrSENSE 4.2.1

•	KaosFroyo 35-1

•	Eris Official 21

Update....

So upon rebooting the phone K-9 CAN upload/download POP mail, for approximately 30 seconds. After that it can no longer download or send mail.

This failure to send/receive happens directly after my autostart alert pops up to tell me that autostart.sh had been granted SU permission... I thought that the autostart.sh script changed the routing tables to so I could reach the super-web, not prevent my access to email servers... anyone run into this?

We need either more moderators or some people with more time on their hands. No offense to any current moderators of the Droid 2 section or anything, but this place is ridiculously cluttered and unorganized. People asking questions in development or the theme/app section should be posted in the general chat or within the same topic of the subject of their question. People in the development section posting multiple topics every time they update their ROM, the amount of topics and confusion could easily be cut down tremendously. If you go to any other phones development section on XDA, you see that everyone just updates their first post. Don't worry about your post count or people not noticing that you've updated, they will notice it.

Figured I should post this, because there are a ton of unneeded and misplaced posts.
