bump, I know I can get back to android 2.2 by deleting all the android files on the sdcard and placing them all back there from the zip file. This just doesn't seem right though, I'm sure there is a way to make this process much smoother.

I'm thinkig Unrevoked team. Should I do Unrevoked3 or forever?

Please any ideas? Custom recoveries or ROMs?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
Hahaha research

Unreevoked 3 and forever are two totally different things. Foreverr is now obsolete with the release of 3.2.1. I wouldn't use unrevoked because then you have no idea what root is and how to use it. That's my two cents.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdbiggles:
I will be using unrevoked 321 tomorrow to root my new evo. My first evo I rooted using simple root.

I disagree with dkdude36. I did it the hard way when the g1 dream first got rooted. The process is academically enlightening but a waste of time really.

Go for the easy root (unrevoked) unless u have a lot of time to spend learning.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender1077:
I disagree with jdbiggles...

If you understand how to use a terminal (ADB) and know how to type without error, "the long way" doesn't take more than an hour to obtain root access to your evo!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
My personal opinion is to get root with ADB. The things you learn will help you in the future.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backdown:
Root with unrevoked, as it gives you one step nand unlock and everything. However, if you are not willing to learn ADB and the such, do not root your phone at all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtx:
If this is the first time you have ever rooted an android or HTC device I would recommend doing the "long way", not because it is some stupid right of passage, or that I think you are a dumb n00b if you don't, but because I think that it will help you a lot in the future if you ever run into problems. You don't want to be learning about all this stuff with a bricked phone.

My first experience with rooting / custom roms / adb was with a G1, and then with a Nexus one. This time around, I simply used unrevoked, but that is because I already understand how the process works, and just want to get it done. It is kinda like math class, they make you write it out with pencil and paper, and then only way later can you use a calculator, because if you never did it long form, you would have no idea if the calculator was right or wrong, or any clue of where you made a wrong calculation.

If you run into any problems now or in the future with an android device, you will actually be able to at least sort/solve the simple problems, before needing to post here and wait for an answer, and hope someone posts step by step instructions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snovvman:
Below are questions I posed in another thread. The root question is apropos to this thread. Can someone please provide me with some direction? I don't mind doing the "manual" way.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caspers25:
I have rooted my G1 before the long way. I understand how it works, just wanted to see if there were better teams to get it from? But I think this clear, unrevoked forever.3. 2.1 doesn't work anymore?

I got JI5 from http://fus.samsungmobile.com/Phone_...T959TMBJI5_T959UVJI5_T959UVJI5_UV_TMB.zip.enc. However, it is in an encrypted format. It seems like there is some way to decrypt it, I just don't know how. Anyone mind explaining?

(Yes I know there are ROMs out there using JI5 -- I just prefer ROMs directly from Samsung/T-Mobile because of security concerns.)

You don't. You can grab it from Kies's temp folder after letting it decrypt it for you. Or you can get it here.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
Hello,

We all know that the 2.1 update is near. My question is is it possible for our phones to be upgraded to 2.2 and beyond? Are x10 minis capable in terms of hardware (and software) to be upgraded to later Android versions, assuming that SE unlocks the bootloader (if they don't release an update, we'll just have to do it ourselves right?). I have read somewhere that some android phones will not see 2.1 and beyond and will be stuck with 1.6 forever. I hope our minis are capable since I am planning to own this phone for atleast 2 years....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gilfredpaul@gmail.com:
2.1 update is confirmed from SE. x10 minis are capable of 2.2(froyo) but not the next release gingerbread. lets keep the fingers crossed that, developers unlocks the bootloader soon.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chris...:
yes unlock boot loader.... plz, so we can update ourselves, to something better then what SE can do, what does sony loose by releasing the details?

I like the phone i dont like how their are so many apps im missing out on cause im stuck on 1.6 and the app needs 2.1 :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bootchee:
They have alot of reasons to keep their software protected. Not that I agree with their views, but they probably want to protect their software from piracy, seeing 3rd party apps replace their own, being able to control a part of the software on the phone, etc. etc.

Previously i owned an HTC phone, which will be the next one again. Not only for sense which imho is very nice, but also because of all the available software to costumize your phone just like you want it to be.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] AussieWolfie:
i mean the whole point of the development of applications is to make the phone yours. the moment a company relies that then the end user can have a lot of fun and make it stand out from everyone else's.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] F3niX:
Lets hope the Bootloader is unlocked and someone develops a 2.2 ROM for it(Maybe copied from Wildfire as it gets 2.2 soon)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Contrarian:
I agree we require 2.1, but in all reality the need for 2.2 is overly exagerated (apart from the slight performance boost). I'd rather have a fast browser than a buggy one which takes forever just to load a page.

Some of you gents obviously don't follow the HTC, Samsung, Motorola blogs otherwise you'd quickly realize how many bugs they're riddled with.

Give me a stable X10/mini/pro any day of the week.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] AussieWolfie:
I agree we need stable over buggy. Sony might be slow with the updates but it seems to be stable. maybe with this update they will be sloppy and make a mistake with the code in the boot loader that we can exploit
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
My guess is that SE will unlock the bootloader once the x10 family gets outdated and they have other models to develop updates.

:confused:BTW, just curious, have you any idea if once we've updated to 2.1, will the exploid root method or one-click root still work? Or, do we even need to unroot our devices to update to 2.1 using PC companion?:confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Contrarian:
updating through seus/ota will most likely wipe all data from the phone, while I'm sure SE will implement security features to prevent us using "universal root" or flashing back to a 1.6 rom. So in answer to your question : No the exploid method will no longer work effectively.

Your options are:

Update the phone once 2.1 is released and wait for developers to root the phone again

Don't update and wait for developers to find a workaround which lets you update the phone with 2.1 but still keep the root.

Wait for the bootloader to be hacked on 1.6. Again this means not updating the phone when 2.1 come out.

At the moment I'm leaning toward the second option but I guess I'll wait and see what the feedback on 2.1 is like.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
If that is the case, I might also choose the second option because I don't want to have to install and set all the apps and tweaking I did on my phone now. I'm sure devs can make a way so that we can go back to 1.6 after we've upgraded to 2.1.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] AussieWolfie:
I'll probably play with 2.1 and wait for the dev's to root 2.1 who knows they might be sloppy with the boot loader for 2.1
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
I just hope the bootloader gets cracked fast, as I do not trust SE with their updates. It's much more reliable to wait for someone here to make something useful for this phone, than to desperately ask SE to do something, and most of the times just get disappointed with the end result.

The main problem of this phone is, in my person opinion, that the main developers do not own or have much interest in it.

Not many people use it, and we can see by the frequency of the posts on this forum that it's mostly a second phone or a phone for our wife’s / girlfriends, etc.

If it had more popularity, the bootloader would probably already be cracked.

Just my 2 euro cents, hehe
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
I think you are right, this phone is not as popular as x10i. Plus since this phone is mostly secondry device/budget phone. The donation incentive is not pretty attractive.. May be if we can get enough donations, we can attract devs to crack it..

But I could be wrong on this observation..
[Epic 4G General] wicked_co:
I'm coming from a blackberry and it would pull the photo from facebook and show it next to the text message. When I go to text with the Epic it will show the name of the person and the blue photo place holder area but not the photo of the contact, If I click the photo place holder and and pick to view the contact it shows that there is a photo associated with the contact. It just will not carry it over to the text screen.

Also, Facebook or Email(hotmail) will not come threw, I have to click them and manually get the new email/fb comments etc. or I will never see them. I have them set up to get new info every hour but nothing ever comes in on it's own.
[Epic 4G General] wicked_co:
ok I fix the pics in text, I open the facebook app and made it unsync with my phone, I then went to the contacts screen and went to "get friends' and pick facebook then check the ppl i have in my phonebook and it it work.

I also am getting emails now but still no FB notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] TT1986:
This applies to:-

Gmail (new mail)

Market app updates

Google Intent (Chrome2Phone for example)

I have a Nexus One on a Vodafone contract. It doesn't have the Vanilla ROM but the Vodafone ROM. What I've noticed is that, with each of the 3 apps listed above, the information pushed to the phone is almost never instant. New email notification on Gmail, for instance, can take upto 40 (yes forty!) minutes to come on my phone. Although on certain occasions I get the notification within a second.

From reading experiences on forums, I think if your phone is unlocked then the push notifications are near instant. This makes me think that the Vodafone ROM might be interfering, but it shouldn't if I have 3G mobile internet access on all the time, which I do. Auto-sync is also, always, enabled.

So can Google's push notifications be interfered by mobile carrier networks in anyway? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] slow23:
Hi,

having read about push notifications the behavior you described is exactly the one intended. If the phone is idle and locked the notifications are delayed (in fact by Google) to not drain the battery. Might look for the link later. Was in the development documentation of push notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] TT1986:
Hi,

Thanks for your reply. It is very interesting that Google withholds notifications intentionally. But I'm not sure it has been implemented correctly because, for example, one would assume that the intent delivered in case of Chrome2Phone should be near instant. In practice it's not always so.
[Android Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
On my Wildfire I still get new Gmail notifications instantly even if my phone screen is off. Same like if I'd receive a SMS message. I think that behavious is as designed by Google ;)

However, when you setup your gmail account to receive emails from other accounts (via POP3) then this is incrementally delayed by Google depending on your email traffic.
[Android Apps and Games] jimbok:
Probably you have auto-sync unchecked? My gmail notifies me instantly if I turn on auto-sync.

Some current Android builds contain HTC keyboard with arrows key, some without. Some build has default android stock keybord which has sound input button.

Can somebody tell mi how to move booth keyboards from one build to another. I can mount system.ext2 under Linux, but I don't found any .apk with keyboard or key in name. Where are hidden?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoman234:
Im not suer if you will be able to have both keyboards in one build unless maybe you rename it? You'll find the keyboard with arrows on any EVO build.

But if you just want to install one or another, the easy way would be ADB.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATomCZ:
I already have build with booth stock and touch keyboard, but many of builds doesn't have booth and doesn't have touch with keyboard.

And I have ADB, but I don't found keyboard APK in system.ext2, because of this I ask where is or which name have.

And Why someone move my thread to HD2 Q&A to outside of Android development thread. I don't understand this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATomCZ:
I reply myself.

The right keyboard name is "IME", but is not possible directly move keyboard to another build because of ODEX, but for example here is deodexed stock keyboard:

but apon recompiling, then packaged again it fails with the dex cache error

Any help would be appreciated. Im going to just repo the source again if i cant get it to work again.

Hi everybody, I recently got myself a Mac :eek: I love it but there is one problem. No WinMo Device Center. So to work around this I decided to buy Paralells (for MS Office and WinZip as well)... Anyway, after setting up WindowsXP SP3 and ActiveSync in Windows, all seems well. Well when I connect My HD2 to my Mac via USB (select to connect to Windows) it installs proper drivers and I can use ActiveSync normally.

But here's my problem: When I try to flash, it goes to the bootloader, takes a while but installs the drivers to connect to USB in bootloader, and on my HD2 it even says "USB" but whenever I try to continue the CustomRUU past that point I get the connection error. So I restart, this time going to bootloader first, says it's connected to USB on my device again, but again I get the connection error.

I know you may be saying "Why not just flash via SD card?" and that's what I normally do but I haven't found a way to Task29 this way, and I always do Task29 before switching ROMs. So if anyone either has a solution or a workaround, please help a brotha out! Thnx

For the ADSL.

some router haven't pppoe inside.

just like a invisible wire.

Softbank announced today that they will begin over the air updates for the HTC Desire on October 8. The update is for Android 2.2, and detailed information can be found here:
[Desire General] zetsurin:
Been waiting for a while for this one. Only a week to go, although by the sounds of things they removed tethering. I've been tempted to go with an unbranded ROM, but since Softbank are quite an evil carrier I'll probably play it safe and just go with the OTA update.
[Desire General] otiasj:
Just updated to froyo :D

but no wifi tethering :(

they also (finaly!) released an mms program (10mb not moveable to sdcard)
[Desire General] zetsurin:
8MB is probably because of all the graphics for the millions of emoji characters. Funny that now I can finally see all the characters my wife has been sending me from her keitai for the last few months :) Wish they had enabled app2sd for this app though.

Loss of Wifi tethering is a bummer, but Softbank would screw you royally on costs if they detected you tethered anyway - I was sternly warned about this by them when I got the phone.

Finally, people please note that this will update your HBOOT to 0.93. Not sure if that can be rooted or not. Does anyone know?
