[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigragu:
I can't access my phone. It will get to the security screen to put in my pattern to unlock, but after I unlock I just get a bunch of force closes. I know how to reflash back to stock using Eugene's Froyo. The problem is that before my phone broke down, "Enable usb debugging" was not selected. Therefore, I can't get into download or recovery mode using adbto then use Odin to recover. My phone is also hardware locked. Is there a way to turn on usb debugging without accessing the settings?

Thanks.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firestrikers:
Hi all,

so i have a couple of questions, I'm buying 2 G1 phones.

The first one was one they try to root, but now it just tells me that there is no SIM-card placed in the phone, even if there is one in it. Is this fixable?

And the 2nd phone is a G1 from T-Mobile, will this phone work with my SIM, I'm not a customer of T-Mobile. And if it doesn't, how do I make this work in here, I've done some searching allready and there are 2 ways that I know off. T-Mobile customer service (I'm not a customer) and to buy an unlock code. Is there a third option?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firestrikers:
Ok I've got this T-Mobile G1 (black) that is now running RC29. I have no T-Mobile SIMcard because tmobile isn't active in Belgium. What are my options, and If get a hold on a unlock code where do I enter it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaronjim:
If you root your phone and install a new ROM then you can use any other SIM card.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firestrikers:
So I don't even need an unlock code?!

Hi recently after digging the whole mountain down to the dust i could not figure out why the hell samsung galaxy 3 could not run games like racing thunder 2 but galaxy 5 could run then tough they got the same processor and the same amount of ram. Priced at higher cost if galaxy 3 fails to play games its a big shame for the samsung. I was about to buy the galaxy 3 but now confused which 1 to go for my budget is 15k inr and my need is the device could also run live wallpapers.is there any patch for the galaxy3 like the samsung spica which enables the game to run.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] subashjohn:
Racing thunder or raging thunder???Raging thunder works perfectly on my phone(Galaxy 3)...had no issues with it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AacidD:
raging thunder 1 runs on my galaxy 3 smoothly but raging thunder 2 lags alot plus all the cars are white like there is no colour in them :confused:

n yes u can make live wallpapers work on galaxy 3 by rooting it but it drains a hell lot of battery like just within 3 hours my battery was down from 90% to 50% :(

so its kinda useless :p

This question is related to the bootloader problem & the upcoming 2.1 update....Could SE change the way the bootloader works and negate the progress you've made?

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] naveen_reloaded:
since its not yet cracked ...i dont think SE will change the bootloader ...

i am not a dev .. this is what i think... but may be the new 2.1 needs a new bootlaoder ... so anything can happen .. but dev are keeping an eye on SE will loads its stock rom.. that way we can find ways to use to crack bootloader
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Kyrius:
I hope i can borrow this thread ...

Here's my question: Is there a way to delete certain games and programs that i don't and never will use without rooting my device? I like it the way it is right now, i just don't like that apps i'm not using wasting available space
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ooidort:
-Root

-Delete games/programs you don't use

-Unroot

-???

-Profit!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Kyrius:
I don't see how am i going to profit if i double the work. My question: "is it possible", was meant in this way: is there an app that allows doing this without rooting?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PollPixx:
No, the default apps which came with the phone are located in a place which you can only reach when you have root access
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Kyrius:
oh well ... can i ask which is the easiest way to root my device then?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rvictorg:
One click root method, you literally have to install the .apk then click root. After you remove the programs you don't want, then click unroot. Doesn't get much easier than that :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Kyrius:
IS this one click method universal or specific from phone to phone? i am asking for my X8. There isn't a thread about this phone yet and because it is part of the same model group i'm asking here.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pato66:
what?

What is horrible, the devs are days without saying anything about the breaking of the bootloader, we will do with the 10 x?, I begin to think that it is time to change by a HTC

you are the best, I encourage all devs, is that you can with this, I encourage and give them strong these of SE, thanks!
[Vibrant General] GameOver69:
Hey all,

Ive restored apps when flashing roms a few times with TB and never had an issue. THis last time though, the market does not show all my installed apps that were just restored, only the ones i have installed on the rom myself.

Is there anyway that i can restore this list. Its funny because when i search an app i have, it will display as INSTALLED, but the DOWNLOAD tab will not show it.

I already tried clearing the cache for the market.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant General] crawler9:
I have noticed I often have that problem if I restore my applications before running the market at least once. Also, you could try killing the market and restarting it to see if the download list repopulates.

Cheers,

crawler9

Sent from my Nexus One
[Vibrant General] GameOver69:
Thanks for the quick response, but i have tried that multiple times, and even the market doctor in TB. no luck...

my question is does the market prompt or notify you of updates if it is not in the DOWNLOADS section? or do i just have to uninstall then install from market for it to show up which would be a pain!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnguyen5:
So I've searched the forum for any similar threads, and I've failed to come across the answer.

I've been wondering if it is possible to change what specific apps proc a specific notification icon on the lock screen.

For instance, the stock Messaging app, when you get a text, will place a puzzle piece on your screen, prompting you to fit the puzzle in the piece to go to it. However, if you use an alternative, like say, ChompSMS or Handcent, you don't get the notifications without having to keep the Stock app's notifications on.

There is also a puzzle piece for missed calls, etc.

I'm not sure if there is on for the stock email app, but there is not one for the Gmail one.

Anyhow, the bottom point is: Is there a way to change the current settings to something like making ChompSMS the normal SMS notification, add one for Gmail, etc?

If this is an obvious answer, please simply provide a simple answer and refrain from snide remarks, I'd appreciate it. Thank you. Cheers!

[Streak 5 General] xilpaxim:
I usually suck at getting these kinds of things, so thought I would ask first before trying, to see if there are any tips for things I should be saying.

I want to get the Streak, but I renewed my 2 year contract with AT&T back in January of this year. So I still have a year 3 months left on my contract. I know that I can get an early contract renewal with a fee of $75, but that is usually straight through AT&T. I tried to go through Dell, and was told I can't get the $250 discount because I'm still on contract.

Has anyone managed to do early renewal at all through AT&T and get the discount for the Streak? I would really appreciate any help on this. My Tilt 2 was OK and everything, but I want something with more...OMPH.
[Streak 5 General] okmft:
So just sell your current phone on eBay and order a Streak. Your sale = the carrier subsidy you seek.

Best wishes,

Geoff
[Streak 5 General] xilpaxim:
Well, considering the original plan was get subsidy and sell old phone so Streak only costs me about $150 to $200, this sort of puts a monkey wrench in that. The main reason I'm not just buying it without is the wife factor.
[Streak 5 General] wrightc88:
My contract isn't up until January 2011, I bought my Streak and got it for $299. Must have been a glitch, I bought it the first day it was released.
[Streak 5 General] xilpaxim:
That might be because AT&T usually lets people slide when within 6 months of contract ending.
[Streak 5 General] wrightc88:
True but I can still upgrade with a discount in 3 months though. I've went to the store and upgraded a few months early and they changed my upgrade date. I'm not complaining though.

[Droid 2 General] hockeyhead019:
hey guys,

just curious if you could some how choose what you want to have in the theme and if you can mix themes, if so how? for example i installed epic unleashed 2.5 and i loved the battery indicator and i installed the 982dark theme for the droid 2 and it's great with a couple exceptions... personally I think i'm going back to the Kangerade Blue for the Droid2 but i still want the original battery indicator from the epic rom.

thanks

[Droid 2 General] Pandemic187:
As far as I know, we don't have this level of customizability on D2 as of now. However, we are starting to see this. Like this, for example:

http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=784855

I used to use a ROM for the old Touch CDMA that did in fact have this level of customizability - there was a thread that had pretty much every individual piece available to customize. But again, I haven't seen this for D2 yet.
[Droid 2 General] hockeyhead019:
damn... ok well hopefully we get there eventually... until then I'll just stick with the theme I overall like the best lol
[Droid 2 General] Natty_lite:
I have this problem with themes too, and the solution is simple. Take the theme that you are going to install, open the zip, and just remove the apps, fonts, or framework you don't want altered.

For example, I despise the font changes alot of themes force on you. Makes my twitter streams unreadable, so I just open the zip, and delete the fonts folder. That way it won't override the stock fonts. I've never tried deleting individual files, but that method should work for icons as well.

Just open the framework.res (rename the .res to .zip or .rar if you have WINRAR installed, or just use the "open with or choose default program" option) goto the res folder, then drawable-hdpi and just delete the battery images from the folder before you install the theme.

An easy way to do this, is to make a copy of the zip first so you'll have a proper version of the theme to view. Open it up with winzip, WINRAR or whatever archiving tool you use on your computer. Then browse the files in thumbnail view to find the images you want to get rid of. Make a note of their file names, then open up the other zip, locate the files in question, right click, delete em.
[Droid 2 General] DGalt11:
I'm not quite understanding what you're saying Natty

For example, right now I'm using the Revolution Remix theme. If I unzip it, there are 2 folders: META-INF and system.

Under system there are 3 folders: app, fonts, and framework. In the framework file there are 2 .apk files (framework-res.apk and blur-res.apk) and the systems.jar file.

In the app folder there are all .apk files, and the font folders are all .ttf

I'm not seeing any pictures to be deleted, unless you mean to actually delete the respective app .apk files (for example, I dislike the Talk app icon and the Market app icon)

Edit:

So I guess you're supposed to just rename the .apk to .zip, but for some reason the files are not allowing me...Could these files be locked? (I don't know if that's a stupid question or not lol)

Edit #2:

So I got 7zip (yay for google), but when I go to open the .png files they don't want to open...an application opens to view them, but it just sits there saying "loading"
[Droid 2 General] draya1986:
I'm not sure if that would work for png files inside of framework-res.apk.... I would think that would cause a bootloop :P

It will work for the fonts folder and for any app you dont want to get altered in /system/app.
[Droid 2 General] DGalt11:
So just remove the app from the system/app folder? That's what I'm somewhat confused about.
[Droid 2 General] draya1986:
If you dont want a themed app to overwrite your current app, then just delete the apk file from /system/app inside of the themed zip file. Or if you dont want a themed font to overwrite ur current font, then just delete the fonts folder inside of the themed zip file.

But deleting files from inside the framework-res.apk... I doubt that would work.
[Droid 2 General] DGalt11:
Any idea how to edit the Market? It's not under system/app.

Edit: Never mind, didn't know "market" was actually vending.
[Droid 2 General] theecho:
removing the png specifically will cause an issue however if you have another png that you would like you use you can just replace this and it will not overwrite then.
[Droid 2 General] DGalt11:
yeah that's what I did. just copy / replace.
[Droid 2 General] Natty_lite:
So did the install go smoothly without the M logo freeze or bootloops? I hope so.

I'm Glad others came to pick up my pieces, lol. That's why this forum is so great. To summarize for those joining the party late, just take the .png's from another theme, and replace the unwanted images with those. Don't just delete them
[Droid 2 General] DGalt11:
It's working fine, no reboots or stuck in boot loop or anything. Didn't even need to wipe data / cache.

Now if I could just figure out a way to remove the font they used from just the browser and my apps and nothing else (b/c it looks really nice in the notification bar, the menus, on the widgets, etc. but makes reading email or reading stuff in the browser really difficult) I'd be golden.
[Droid 2 General] DGalt11:
So I started removing one font at a time, nothing changed.

So I removed the whole fonts folder, and still didn't get any change in the fonts in the theme.

Ideas?
[Droid 2 General] Natty_lite:
Thats exactly why I got rid of it. What good is a font that you can't read? I'm not sure if you can just remove it from the statusbar specifically.

Remember, removing them prevents it from changing the fonts that are currently installed. So if they're already different, then they'll just stay that way when you install the edited version of the theme. You're gonna need to flash to the stock theme first, then flash to another theme (like the NexTheme for example) with all the edits that you made.
[Droid 2 General] DGalt11:
I see, so those files in the fonts folder aren't actually fonts. They're more like...where the fonts you want get stored. So you need to actually replace the file.

From what I've figured out, the majority of the fonts are derived from DroidSans. If you change that, you change most of the fonts including those in the apps, widgets, etc. So is there no way to specifically change a font in, lets say, apps vs. widgets? And what are all those other files in the fonts folder for
[Droid 2 General] Natty_lite:
I have no idea. I just deleted the whole folder prior to installing to ensure I kept all stock fonts.
[Galaxy Spica General] pepo36:
i have csc I570EEGYJE2 because i'm in egypt

so i was wondering if anyone can help develop an app that can change csc or even disable it so we can have the market ?
[Galaxy Spica General] Khal3d:
Just use "Root Explorer" application, and go to

/system/csc/EGY/system/app/

and delete the empty file called "Vending.apk"

Now, dial *#272*YOUR IMEI#

and select EGY than press install.

Remember:

* You must root your phone to delete "Vending.apk" file.

* To get your IMEI dial *#06#

* After you press "install" will do a auto factory reset, you will lose all your data. Take backup before doing this.

When you plug in your phone to your PC using the usb cable you get a option on your phone to Turn on USB storage. it then magically pops up your sdcards folder move your video files over to your sd card. when done on your phone hit turn off usb storage and its easy as that. use rockplayer for your avi files and system default player for mp4 files. if you need a conversion guide for BD movies use my quick handbrake guide.
