[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
So the second update failed because I removed amazonmp3.apk and I don't have a backup. Can anyone help? I installed it from the market but don't know how to move it to /system.

Phone was stuck on oem recovery screen so I clicked home+power to see what was going on, and this is what I saw. I have since rebooted and am back to my oem rooted 1.6.

Any thoughts?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Ok, got my popup for the 2nd update again but my phone and computer don't seem to be recognizing each other so I can't use adb to push the amazon app back to system, so it will just fail again. Any ideas??

Is the update disabling usb debugging??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ReTro FuZe:
Im running chromatic 4.5..and i got a text from tmobile saying "Free T-Mobile MSG: Over the next two weeks, a 2 part Froyo Android OS upgrade will be sent to your myTouch 3G. Details: www.t-mobile.com/myTouch-MR"

Could i still get the update while rooted? Or i have to unroot...or will it automatically unroot it because of the tmobile update???

And if anybody got this message before the official OTA, how long before the update was sent to you?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] InfamousDX:
Will we have revert anything like the hboot?

Originally my friend's phone that I flashed was:

sapphire pvt 32B ship s-on g
hboot-1.33.0006 (sapp30000)
cpld-10
radio-2.22.23.02
may 27 2009, 19:06:41

Now it's:

sapphire pvt 32B ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Jun 2 2009, 17:27:03

Will this probably be ok to flash once someone makes an update.zip or equivalent? Most likely I'll just nandroid back to when the phone was on a stock OS but just rooted.

Hi, a little while ago there was a thread about people who ported Android to their hd2s then using a launcher to to emulate the look of wm7 on their phones. I did a couple searches but did not return what I was looking for. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

I also find WM 7 ROM for HTC Droid Incredible... If Android Ported on WM Device, So Why not ported WM in Android Devices ???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bates_1974:
Because someone has to more or less reverse engineer everything to port it, all drivers etc need rewriting, I'm sure you can do it if you know what you're doing in say....... 4/5 months???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Android is open source, which makes it easier to port. Also, the work on porting android to winmo phone has been going on for longer than android has even been around. There was a buggy android port for a winmo device before there was an actual android phone even out... so all this previous work on linux/android ports has helped with porting android to more current winmo devices.

Also, winmo has Haret.exe, an app that shuts down the windows kernel and starts up the linux kernel... there is no app for android that will start up the windows kernel.

As far as WP7... the only reason the HD2 has it is because the hardware is almost exactly the same as the HD7, and we have magldr for our device which is used to launch wp7. Magldr is windows ce based, so I don't think you will see any version for any android devices.

This is why I have always liked windows mobile devices... they were always very easily hacked and modifiable.
[HD2 General] Nintynuts:
I'm having a really hard time setting up calendar syncing with my phone. I've done lots of research and I'm taking tiny steps but it's so frustrating I was hoping someone with more experience could help.

I have an HD2 (hence this forum) and I'm running WM6.5.x and Android FroYo. I wanted to set up a calendar I could update on either OS as well on my PC and on the interwebz.

So, I've got my Windows Live account which syncs everything but Calendar to my WM OS but is great for PC/net, I have my Google calendar, which I exported the iCal link for Live to use, which I assume will sync with android automatically and finally I installed office outlook 2010 (which I don't wanna use) to try syncing with my Live calendar to my WM OS which failed because Mobile Device centre doesn't recognise 64-bit Office! apparently neither does google's calendar sync app (error 1011, even after attempting all the fixes).

To summarise:

Google->Windows Live<->Outlook 2010 x64

^

|

v

Android

Windows Mobile :(

I'm going to try Companionlink to connect Outlook to Google, but i'm looking for a simpler solution. I'm not convinced my microsoft exchange with google is working (I get the amber icon when I try to sync and nothing changes) so if someone thing's it'll be necessary, that'll need sorting.

PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks for reading
[HD2 General] Nintynuts:
I managed to fix the microsoft exchange to google from my wm os by removing tasks from the sync list.

Campanion link (v3) however is fairly useless and I'm not paying for software to do something which should happen automatically and be set up easily.

I also found a way to view my windows live calendar on google, but both

windows live->google

and

google->windows live

are one way, and work separately to eachother (acting as another calendar)

I may be able to clear my google calendar and just sync the copy from my windows live calendar to my android OS, but this will never sync back to windows live meaning everything has to be done from windows live (on my PC).

Alternatively I could try the opposite and clear my windows live calendar and have it just show my google calendar which will properly sync (2-way) with both phone OSs, but is less convenient to use on my PC.

Finally, I stumbled across a website called Mash iCal, which supposedly merges calendars from multiple sources and feeds them back through each source so they all match. This would be great, except windows live wouldn't let me allow it.

It seems every solution has a flaw, it would be really useful to get some fresh ideas from people
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannys.ser:
Is it possible and if so how to do a Nand restore i have backeD up on SD card from my old EVO to my replacemnt EVO??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barnacles10:
First this is not the forum for questions. The question and answer thread is better suited. That said I wouldn't recommend restoring a backup from another Rom , especially if you used amon
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bizdady:
Ya if you overwrite your wimax code from the previous phone it could mess up your 4g. Just suck it up and do a clean install on the new phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barnacles10:
Exactly, if you flash over your wimax image it WILL bork 4g. (I haven't tested :D but it only makes sense) The idea of backing up wimax is to keep keys in tact. If you flash keys from another phone, then you my friend will be on evo #3. haha
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricsim78:
I agree 100% with everything said here, just use your other Evo as a template for which programs to download and such and do not use Nandroid to restore stuff from your older Evo. If you write over your WIMAX, bye bye 4G. That or you can only use 4G on one phone at a time because they will share the same key.

You were already told that this is the wrong section, so no need to repeat. Please post in Q&A next time if you have questions, saves a MOD from having to move your post.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Babble0n:
isn't there a workaround?

Could you just remove the wimax.img from the nandroid restore folder and then restore the other img portions? (Unless of course the restore process must have ALL the img files to complete)

Or maybe move all your img files, except the wimax one, into a PC36img.zip and restore via bootloader? (unless you have to sign the pc36img.zip file somehow)

I suppose removing all the radio images would be prudent here. You're really just interested in /boot, /data and /system I believe.
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
ODIN does not work period, end of story, on my hardware locked Vibrant. I want to flash back to stock so I can try Bionix. I'm a n00b at flashing the Vibrant but I flashed a few roms on my old G1. Would I be able to flash Bionix using Clockwork (or flash Stock using it as well)?

I can't can't can't softbrick this phone because ODIN will not work. I tried it and my other Android crazy root/rom friend tried as well.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
There's a fix for hardware locked phones in the dev forum. I just used it a few days ago and it works great.
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
That would involve me using ODIN though. Would I be able to just use Quickboot to boot into recovery so I can flash the file?
[Nexus One General] KidTech:
Today my Tzones stopped working on my N1, it says upgrade to a newer data package. Has everyone whos using Tzones been getting this? Kind of makes me sad, because HD2 and BB are still able to use Tzones.
[Nexus One General] quantum_007:
No. I have an HD2 and sadly, Tzones is giving me the upgrade screen. It has been since Saturday. I've tried epc.tmobile.com, internet2 and wap.voicestream.net and NO DICE. From what I've gathered, T-Mobile is officially phasing out these grandfathered accounts.
[Nexus One General] defmute:
This makes absolutely no sense

Phase out - grandfathered

It is a contradiction. I will make such a stink if mine gets turned off. Then I just walk because I control the accounts of everyone in my family. So that is only about 10 lines and mine is the only one with t-zones.
[Nexus One General] greenstuffs:
Tmobile has the cheapest plans among the 4 major carriers, so i'd be foolish having your family pay more just because you are not getting a freebie anymore.

People on tzones using super smartphones where just freeloaders paying $5 or whatever ridiculous low amount for a plan that is supposed to be $30, well for loyal customers is like $20.

I believe tmobile has treated their customers pretty well for the last 5 years and you can always buy some 2002 phone on ebay if you want to keep using your tzones.

You can always go to verizon
[Nexus One General] norazi:
mine has been going on and off... i think they are just doing maintenance and you are jumping to conlusions.. give it a week or so to see if it still works

I agree, I am all talk. But I only use my Dataplan for email and maps anyways like I am supposed to when I got it years ago.

Anyone care to weigh in on their experiences?

I decided to go an make this a list of Blur-less ROMS with links. While most of these have homes other than XDA, I tried to put both the XDA thread link and the "home" link.
[Droid X General] MrDanger:
Since we are discussing here... I always wanted to know what was the reason you could not remove BLUR??

I mean.. I know the phone wouldn't boot if you removed it WITHOUT a acceptable replacement.

Like I know I removed HTC Sense UI back in the before time and my phone boot looped because I didn't have a another Launcher to replace it with... could this be the same thing?? Could we remove BLUR apps as long as we have a acceptable replacement??

EX. Remove Blur Dialer and replace with Dialer One...or remove Blur Home and replace with LauncherPro....
[Droid X General] Casshern:
I have blur home removed and replaced with launcher pro. Do at your own risk though. I know nothing of any other changes that are ok as of yet. I haven't gotten that far.
[Droid X General] kdkinc:
Nice question.

To me the Theme/Rom's do seem very similar.They for the most part delete or freeze a lot of the "blur" packages.

The statement by most chefs is "It's faster". OK how much faster then a 2.2 OTA,rooted, 928Droid themed phone???

Is the boot time "way" faster .Do apps activate in split seconds???

EDIT: Flash Fixed

I hesitate to try the Theme/Roms because most seem to have glitches like "Flash not fully functioning so that I can view weather and radar maps ,as an example.

Zapx does peak my interest though....

:eek::eek:
[Droid X General] brandon2x:
I've said it in 2 other forums. The zapX rom is awesome. Its the fastest I've used and I have had just about all of them. To me its about how fast everything reacts. From opening the app drawer, tilting the phone, to activating the camera, which you all know typically takes 4 or 5 seconds. With zapX all of it is almost instantaneous. That's my 2 cents for what its worth.

And by the way. I've had no problems with flash on zapX, only issue was with weatherbug and it was fixed by the creator within a day...
[Droid X General] drewden123:
I prefer ApeX. Nearly 100% AOSP. It's the closest thing yet..
[Droid X General] bouchigo:
I just went from zapX to Apex, to me Apex is snappier, and boots up faster.
[Droid X General] mbh87:
they are all pretty much the same but zapX seems to be a little slower than the rest for some reason.

You know you can optimize your apks with xUltimate and essentially your stock ota will be just as snappy.

[Droid X General] luv2increase:
If u do a nandroid backup beforehand, u can do an advanced restore for just your data :)
[Droid X General] urufu_shinjiro:
Actually, is there a way to just back up your market downloads list? That would be all I needed really, then I could go into the market, go to downloads, reinstall all those apps, then use launcher pro backup to restore my icons etc.
[Droid X General] MrDanger:
Just use titanium backup. It backups and restores in one click.
[Droid X General] urufu_shinjiro:
Yeah, if you pay nearly five bucks for it and I'm poor, spent all my money on the DX, lol. The free version will run the batch restore but you have to click "Install" and the "Done" for each and every app...it would be easier to write down all my apps and settings on a piece of paper than F with that, lol.

Which rom Drod2169 is involved in I suggest check it out... rubiX and Fisson... its a must...Great ROMs and Great support
[Droid X General] chavist:
I really can't tell a difference between the various roms. I believe many of us buy into the placebo effect. There have been some improvements with battery life on them. I am currently running the Apex and have tried all of them except for the Zapx Rom. The only thing I notice on Apex is that my signal strength seems to be worse.
[Droid X General] DroidXChat:
So on to thread topic...

Upsides to blurless roms:

-innately snappier

-unwanted moto mods removed

Upsides to blurred roms:

-compatable with all themes

-can be made just as snappy with optimization

-maintains integrated features such as slower but fully featured camera (non blurred camera is limited. I.e. only 5mp) and facebook integration into contacts list

-still has bloatware removed

-many respected devs consider blurred versions of apps (those modified by moto) to be superior to the ones often replacing them

I guess in my opinion it comes down to this... the only reason to get a blurless rom is if you hate blurred apps and have no use for them. Don't do it for speed or simplicity because you can make a blurred rom just as fast and might find yourself with more complications when you were looking for simplicity. You also cripple things like your camera or search button (of course you can reinstall those blurred apks though).

Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Droid X General] chaoslimits:
I like ZapX. It's been the fastest for me. Also, some of the blur functions are too good foe ex., the battery manager.
[Droid X General] mbh87:
Keep an eye out for UltimateDroid. I got a test build the other day and once all the bugs are worked out it will be the best ROM by far.

-to those that dont understand.... you will at some point.
[Droid X General] dspero:
Agreed. I won't touch ultimateDroid for that reason alone.
[Droid X General] mbh87:
Hes having problems that fission beta wasnt so if that was the case he would already be done. UD is way more entailed and feels more like a custom ROM than anything else. Its no different than UD on the D1 or Dinc. I will definitely be running it when hes done. What do I care if he kangs/steals in the end we all do somehow anyways.
[Droid X General] thepolishguy:
Let me make sure I am understanding this statement correctly- are you saying BB is coming to the X?

[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I'm on Rubix 1.6. I think Rubix and Fission will prove to be very similar in issues as they start from very similar bases. The other Blur-less ROMS start with the 2.3.15 OTA base and don't have as many issues.

My known issues:

Battery Manager tends to FC when you click it, but that one's hit or miss.

Calibrate Compass will FC (There is a market app that will handle this)

Incoming call screen has Sliders rather than buttons (I actually liked the buttons over the sliders)

Dial screen will not rotate into Portrait. Landscape only.

Custom Ringtones per contact not working (always rings default ringtone).

[Droid X General] debaucher:
YEP, Did this last night and everything is nice and quick.

I had Tranquility 3.0 on and it was nice and all, but some of the bugs (USB connect/disconnect/connect/disconnect repeat bug) just meant I could not keep it on.

I was not sure which rom to use next, so I figured I would just deodex the stock 2.3.15 using XUltimate, did the ultimate optimization and now my phone is just as fast as Tranq.3.0 was and no annoying issues like with tranq3.0

I may just keep it this way for a while and just change themes as I see fit since everything is working so nice.

Just my 0.000002¢

[Droid X General] :
Hi,

Just to represent Fission and Rubix fairly. Fission is not AOSP ROM. We took a very clean MotoDev build and started from there. The only blur in it is the moto-res.apk. There are no blur apps or anything tied into blur. That is why none of the blur apps or services work with it. It is not themed to make it look like a vanilla ROM but it is a true vanilla ROM.

When I built Fission for the D2, Drod approached me about making for the DX and we ported together since I did not have a DX at that time. I wanted to stick with just a stock android ROM and he wanted to add a few of his own things so that is how his current Rubix was born.

May you please remove AOSP from the Fission name. At the start it caused me lots of greif and I do not want to go through that again.

Thanks!
[Droid X General] dosmoney:
